Chapter 82: The Crater of Wonderland
Soon after Arthur returned from the Forest of Grievances, his peaceful life was shattered.
It was Tony's unexpected visit that broke Arthur's peace.
Tony didn't say hello to anyone, sneaked into the mercenary group, and knocked directly on Arya's window, and the time of the knock was just after the clouds and rain had cleared.
"Are you here a long time ago?" said Arthur glared at Tony with a hateful gaze outside Arya's room.
"No, just entered the yard. Tony denied with a wicked smile.
"Then why did you ask me to knock on Arya's window?"
Tony still smiled, "Your big brother Tony is also in his forties, and you young people can guess everything." ”
Arthur gave Tony an angry look, "You also know that you are in your forties, do you still need to sneak in when you come to the mercenary group?"
"There are very few people in the Thieves' Guild who know my true identity, and now they can't reveal my relationship with the mercenary group. Let's go, go to your house and say. Tony carried Arthur into his room, and when he entered the room, he turned back to the tree and shouted, "You kid come in too." ”
Joan, who was lying among the branches of the trees and peeking at the excitement, couldn't help but turn around and sigh to Eleany, "I wanted to do it again, but now let the two of them mess up what you like." ”
Before Joan could finish her sentence, she was kicked in the ass and fell straight off the tree.
"Hey, woman, you don't admit it when you put on your clothes. Joan muttered as she entered Arthur's room.
"Tell me, what's important that you need to visit in person?"
"I have to be cautious about the Sky Firm. Tony deliberately lowered his voice.
"Have you found a clue between the Celestial Firm and the Divine Judgment?" Arthur immediately became serious.
"Not really, but there's a chance to get revenge on them and make them lose a fortune. ”
Arthur was immediately deflated, "If it's just for money, let's not provoke the Cloud Firm for the time being, I'm in a lot of trouble now." ”
Tony pouted, "You don't provoke him, but people have been thinking about you, don't forget that you are in the way of the business house." The reason why I haven't done it all this is because the comptoir doesn't like to use force directly, and even if you kill the orcs, you won't be able to get through. ”
Arthur cried with a sad face, "Then I should be more low-key, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in Huaores if they are really in a hurry." ”
"What if this has something to do with the Sea Clan?"
"The Sky Merchant is also connected to the Sea Clan?" Arthur was a little surprised.
"The Yunxiao Merchant House is known as the first trading house of the Terran Race, relying on the backer of the Yunxiao King, it has always only looked at interests and does not care about anything else, and the Celestial Merchant has trade with them not long after the Sea Clan landing. ”
When it comes to the Sea Clan, Arthur has to get serious, because he knows that there is a bigger conspiracy behind the Sea Clan.
Tony continued, "I received news that the Sky Firm has recently reached a deal with the Sea Clan, ready to provide the Sea Clan with a large amount of Space Ore Rough Ore. ”
Arthur naturally knows the space ore, and the core of all space equipment is the space stone, and the space stone naturally does not exist in a natural form, and it also needs to be extracted from the ore by alchemists who master space magic. The refining of space stones is extremely difficult, and the demand for space stones of various races is always in short supply, and space equipment, space teleportation magic arrays, and many sealing magic arrays all need space stones to provide spatial power. Although Arthur didn't know what the Sea Clan needed a lot of space stones for, he could guess it.
"Tell me, what are you going to do?" When it comes to the Sea Clan, Arthur must make a mess of it.
"Because the demand of the sea tribe is very large, the trading house sent several expeditions at once to the Qiyuan Crater to purchase and excavate the space stone ore, and I was also in one of the expeditions. We have joined forces to rob and kill these expeditions, so as to disrupt the trade between the merchant houses and the Sea Clan, and we can also take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money. Tony threw out his plan.
On the surface, the business of the Sky Firm has regular shopkeepers, clerks, and guards, but some shady or dangerous transactions are entrusted to the expedition team. Like the bald Sammille back then, the minimum configuration of the comptoir's adventure team is led by a strong general. Although these expeditions were able to receive high commissions from the comptoirs, they had the power to be controlled by the comptoirs, and had no right to refuse to act.
"It turned out that I was going to the Crater of Strange Fate, that place is really exciting!" Joan on the side showed strong interest first.
Arthur was a little dazed, "Crater" was a completely unfamiliar name to him.
Joan took the initiative to explain: "The Crater of Strange Fate, like the Ice Valley of Despair and the Abandoned Swamp, is one of the top ten dangerous places on the mainland. Although they belong to the top ten dangerous places, the danger in the Strange Crater does not come from demonic beasts or predatory creatures, but from the unstable space forces inside and the mutual fighting caused by the competition for space ores. ”
"Where is it?"
"The Space Stone is not a product of the continent, but originates from the extraterritorial starry sky and falls on the earth to form a series of craters. The crater is located in the westernmost part of the territory of the dwarf kingdom, although it is located in the territory of the dwarves, but the resource of space ore is too important, and the dwarves cannot monopolize it, and the mercenaries and expeditions of all races can mine it according to their ability. If someone is lucky enough to find the space ore and bring it out alive, then he will never have to worry about eating and drinking again in his life, so it is called the Crater of Strange Fate. Tony explained in more detail.
Arthur suddenly smiled, "I've survived several times in great calamities, it seems that I can also try to see if there is a strange fate?"
......
Guarding the stars and moon, the Hall of Elders, the expressions of several elders were more solemn than before.
"I just received the news that the Sea Clan army has marched into the heart of the ocean, and the Sea King has taken action to drive away the ancient beast Squirt who has been occupying it. The Sea Clan has now begun to build a magic circle around the Heart of the Ocean. Field's tone was a little hurried.
The elven lady spoke after Field, "The Sea Clan is moving much faster than we expected, and it looks like we're going to speed up our actions as well." ”
"Don't worry, we'll wait. The silver dragon Nicholas opened his eyes slightly.
"You can sleep a little longer, and the next time you wake up, the Sea Cliff Dragon's Lair will probably be occupied by demons. "Monroe always seemed to like to play against Nicholas.
However, this time Nicholas was not interested in arguing with Monroe, and said to himself: "The establishment of a magic array of that scale is by no means something that can be completed in one or two months, and it requires a large number of magic materials, so we will wait for the sea clan magic array to be completed before we act, so that all the materials they have accumulated will be turned into ashes." ”
The elven old woman smiled: "Only you, an old dragon, can think of such a ruthless method?"
Nicholas suddenly changed the subject, "I'm now a little interested in that little Terran guy you fancied, he actually solved the mystery of the curse that has plagued the giant clan for thousands of years, if only luck is to explain, it should be considered a miracle, right?"
