Chapter 37: Monster Mountain

After the winter, the Empire's caravans also entered a period of recuperation, so there were hardly any caravans to be seen on the Empire's trade routes.

But even so, Dylan and the others did not choose to take the business road, after all, the Brotherhood of Arcane Law has always kept a low profile and tried to avoid being noticed.

And this time, the empire sent a large number of men and horses to the Warcraft Mountains, and the army was on the road at night and resting during the day, and Dylan and his party did the opposite, trying their best to avoid the army.

With the assistance of the wind magician, the five of them traveled extremely fast, and after three days, the group had already approached the Demon Beast Mountain.

The group also slowed down because of this, and there were already occasional traces of military camping here, so the five of them didn't dare to be too loud.

"It's really strange, since approaching the Demon Beast Mountain, this fog seems to have never dissipated, even if the sun rises, it can't let the fog dissipate, it's really weird. Carlos said with a solemn face.

Dylan also felt very strange, although it was winter, and most animals were in hibernation, but as a third-level shadow mage, he should be able to feel at least some small animal breath, but no, not at all! This made him feel a little uneasy, because he had never encountered such a situation.

The five of them walked slowly forward on the wasteland, completely enveloped in a thick fog all around, and the five of them tried to lean together as much as possible, not daring to get too far away at all.

It was the first time for the five people to encounter this situation, and everyone had no bottom in their hearts, and no one dared to speak, so they could only move forward in silence.

I don't know how long it took for the five Dylan to finally hear some voices. Carlos frowned and motioned for everyone to stop.

Judging by the sound not far away, it should be a warrior in heavy armor walking slowly.

The five exchanged glances with each other, and then tacitly bypassed the direction from which the sound came and continued to move forward.

"I met the Empire's troops stationed here so quickly, it seems that the Empire did send a large number of people this time, and I don't know what happened in the Warcraft Mountains, after we go in later, we must find the location of the mission as soon as possible, and come out quickly after completion, don't stay in it!" Carlos reminded in a low voice.

The four of Dylan naturally obeyed the command of the fraternity boss, and the four of them nodded in unison.

After another half an hour or so, Dylan and his party clearly felt that the concentration of the fog had begun to slowly decrease, and the visibility had changed from the original five meters to more than twenty meters now.

Soon, they completely walked out of the misty area and came to the periphery of the Demon Beast Mountain.

Dylan looked up and saw a huge mountain range lying between heaven and earth, thousands of miles from north to south, with no end in sight.

The dense jungle in the mountains is deep and dark, and at this time it is completely shrouded by a heavy snowfall not long ago, which adds to the sense of mystery.

Before entering the Warcraft Mountain, Carlos emphasized once again that this operation requires quick action, and there must be no greed for merit and rashness, and once he succeeds, he will quickly withdraw from the Warcraft Mountain.

In this way, the five of them stepped into this mysterious and dangerous dense forest one after another.

After entering the dense forest, the five Dylan used the spells of the wind mages to move towards the depths of the jungle at great speed.

What they need to find on this trip is a rare fruit that lives in the Warcraft Mountains, called "Jiangshen Fruit". It is said that this kind of fruit can greatly improve the spiritual power of the magician, and may even directly break through the bottleneck and increase the level by one level.

It's just that the "Divine Fruit" is only effective for mages with intermediate strength and below, and it is of no use to a mage like Carlos.

Come to think of it, the person who released this task this time must be a big family in the empire, and it may be that the younger generation has fallen into a bottleneck on the way to magic, and it is already difficult to go further.

The strength of a magician is low-level, fourth, fifth, and sixth, and seventh, eighth, and ninth is high. If a magician can go from low level to intermediate level, or vice versa, it is definitely a qualitative leap for them, a huge improvement.

If a sixth-level magician takes the "Divine Fruit", he is very likely to become a seventh-level magician and become a high-level magician, and a high-level magician can make magic scrolls, and a magic scroll can be sold for a sky-high price in the imperial capital, which everyone knows.

If you want to come this time, your employer must be hoping that a junior in the clan can step into the ranks of high-level magicians.

"These nobles are really rich!" Dylan couldn't help but exclaim.

Because I learned from Carlos that the reward for this mission was 50,000 gold coins! 50,000 gold coins, which is definitely an astronomical amount that ordinary people dare not imagine. But for those nobles, they agreed to the Brotherhood's offer without blinking an eye.

Of course, Dylan didn't know at this time that when he became a real foundry, the money would be at his fingertips.

About two hours after entering the Monster Mountain, Carlos stopped, he grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and said in a low voice: "The soil is sticky and humid, which is very suitable for the growth of the Divine Fruit." There is a good chance that we can find it in this vicinity, so let's look for it separately first, but don't go out of the 500-meter radius. ”

With that, the five of them headed in different directions. Carlos had already shown the picture of the Divine Fruit to the four of Dylan beforehand, so all they had to do was to find it as soon as possible.

Dylan tried his best to reduce the rate of his breathing and walked slowly, he didn't want to attract the monster, after all, he was not strong enough to deal with it alone. Moreover, at this time, there must be a large number of warriors and mages in the Warcraft Mountains of the Imperial Army, and if there is too much movement, it will definitely attract the attention of the Imperial military.

Not long after, Dylan saw a lake that was extremely peaceful, the water was like a mirror, and the lake was bubbling with wisps of white gas. The winter in Warcraft Mountain was supposed to be very cold, but there was no trace of freezing in this lake, and instead the lake was still glowing with wisps of white heat, which Dylan was very puzzled about.

"It's beautiful!" Dylan couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Suddenly, he felt as if his eyes were flashing by a blinding light in the distance.

Dylan turned his head to look, only to find a young woman in a red robe behind a boulder in the distance, half-crouched behind the boulder, her eyes fixed on the lake.

Behind the woman, she was carrying a crimson staff, and there was a silver-white sign on the top of the staff, which was refracted by the strong light, and a red flame was engraved on the sign.

"The crest of the Fire family?" Dylan was taken aback, the woman turned out to be a descendant of the Vail family, one of the five great families in the imperial capital. And it seems that she seems to be a fire magician, and Dylan has not been able to feel her soul fluctuations, thinking that this woman's strength should be above Dylan!
