Shallow sea. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a caravan still on the way, hoping to catch the last tail of the Star and Moon Festival, the wagon driven by five camels is zigzag forward in the desert, the leader of the team looked up at the scorching sun, it is obviously not noon, but the sun has become more and more dazzling, the ground is filled with unusual heat, even the camels that are easy to go to and from the desert on weekdays are a little lazy, unwilling to speed up.

But suddenly, the sun suddenly dimmed, as if the light was robbed by something unknown, and the leader watched the red sun gradually turn into a thick black, and his heart sank.

This is the sight that the old people who lived near the desert used to say.

"The sun lost its light, the sky was overcast, the wind was howling, and the world was plunged into darkness. ”

This is a precursor to a major storm.

"Let's go, we've got to find a place to take cover!"

The leader hopes to find an outpost of the Iron Wolf Guard in the desert to temporarily shelter from the storm, and he doesn't know if he will succeed, but he needs to try.

But time didn't give him a chance.

Almost instantly, the originally clear and cloudless sky was suddenly covered with a black haze, and in the sky, dark purple thunder was entangled like a python, each of which was enough to cover the entire caravan.

The roar frightened the camels, and the creatures instinctively sensed the danger and began to get out of control.

"What to do, Boss?"

The others were still asking the leader, but the next moment, everyone was silent.

Not far away, the sky is collapsing.

There is also a black fog rising from the earth, and the sky and the earth are gradually merging into one, and the pillar formed is something that makes everyone tremble.

Tornado.

More than one tornado formed around the caravan, blocking most of the retreat routes, causing cold sweat to break out on the leader's forehead.

Then, the ground began to tremble, the dunes vanished, the terrain changed, and several sand worms poured out from all sides of the caravan.

These sand worms were so different from what they were seen on a daily basis, each one as tall as a building, and their dense teeth could make the faint of heart just by looking at them.

"Draw your sword and fight. ”

The leader was desperate in his heart at the moment, not to mention the tornado in the distance, just these few bugs in front of him were enough to make the caravan suffer heavy losses, and he was already making the last resistance.

But in the next moment, even this last resistance lost its meaning.

For out of the thick clouds that could not be dissolved, raindrops fell.

The shallow sea for the first rain in decades.

But this rain was not ordinary, and a single drop was enough to corrode the wagons and make the camels wail.

The leader saw the rain dripping on his blade, and the originally sharp long sword immediately dimmed and blackened, and quickly emitted white smoke and was eroded, and he felt a burst of power.

"Goddess above, bless your believers......"

The leader could only start praying, but no one answered his prayer, and the next second, a huge sand worm rushed at him and bit off his upper body.

......

"The storm has arrived. ”

Nilva whispered, giving Albert and the others a look.

"Don't run!"

Rosen immediately saw their intentions, and the wolf knight's greatsword in his hand beeped towards Nilva's chest.

But gravel immediately rose all around.

"Desert, lift up your gravel and shade the sun!"

Nilva shouted loudly, and the yellow sand around him immediately turned into a saloon, blocking between Lawson and him.

Immediately afterward, the grit enveloped Albert and Fletcher, and by the time they dispersed, the three had disappeared from the city square.

"It's gone. ”

Although the other party obviously fled, Rosen still did not let his guard down and sensed everything around him.

"They must have absconded to the stronghold of the Hot Wind Mercenary Regiment. ”

Jerome's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he said, but at the same time he seemed to think of something and showed a horrified expression.

"Nilva said just now that she got what she wanted...... Could it be that !??"

"What's that?"

Tia also sensed that something was wrong at this time, such an easy evacuation of Istar was equivalent to the arrangement of the Senate Council and the Hot Wind Mercenary Group for ten years to come to naught, and to be able to give up like this, they must have obtained something more valuable than these.

"In the secret room of the Hall of the Archons of Istar is the driving core of the Celestial Beast of Isttar, which is the energy source that can continuously draw power from the Endless Void to feed the Beast's actions, and if it is taken away, Istar will never be able to fly above the sky again. ”

Jerome said that these were the things he learned from his father as a child.

"At the same time, my father once said that it is the technological crystallization of the Rainbow Tower, which can bypass the crystal wall and directly connect to the Endless Void, if it is brought into the core area of the capital of sin, then the already fragile crystal wall there is very likely to shatter, and the direct consequence will be......"

"Will the people of chaos take advantage of the situation?"

Tia immediately understood what Jerome was saying.

The sky inside Istar grew darker, and then the earth trembled, and all who lived in Istar felt a slight sense of weightlessness.

"Ishal is on the decline. ”

Rosen quickly understood the source of this feeling of weightlessness.

"Istar has a complete reserve of energy, even if it loses its drive core, it is enough to let it descend to the desert, but during a big storm, a large number of monsters will appear on the surface, and the environment will become quite harsh, if the core used to stabilize order is not there, I don't know how long this place can last. ”

Jerome had an anxious look on his face, and it seemed that the driving core had indeed been stolen by the people of the Hot Wind Mercenary Regiment.

"It seems that we are finally getting to the point. ”

Tia was not in a hurry, as if the crisis in front of her was not important, she nodded, and then said to Rosen.

"We're going to have to go after the guys of the Hot Wind Mercenary Regiment, they are likely to enter the Capital of Crime, and it just so happens that the mages we are looking for are also there. ”

Lawson thought for a moment and replied.

"But in this environment, we can't brave the storm to go to the capital of sin. ”

He thought of something like Tinder or Ember of the First Fire to keep order, but neither Tia nor Jerome seemed to have any.

"That's a question, Jerome, do you know if there's any shortcut to bypass the storm and get into the City of Karma?"

Tia asked, now that she basically understood, the city was actually equivalent to a large observation post monitoring the situation in the capital of sin, so there must be some passages that could quickly reach the vicinity of the capital of sin, but who knew these secret passages was a question.

"Shortcut......

Jerome looked embarrassed, he had heard his father, Viscount Faramir, mention the secret passage a few times, but it was still too young at that time, and Viscount Faramir just mentioned it and didn't tell him the specific details, so he didn't know it at all now.

"Wait, I probably know anyone who knows the shortcut. ”

Suddenly, Jerome's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Who?"

The two mage apprentices hadn't come to their senses yet, and Rosen hadn't found any traces of a secret passage in their minds before, so he didn't have a clue about Jerome's words, and the only possibility was probably the intelligence dealer.

"Davos O'Neill. ”

Jerome uttered a surprising name.
