Chapter 65: The Dwarven Fortress in the Mural
Putting the Gray Shield and the Gray Spear into the Space Ring, Modrian's fair face was full of excitement and some pity.
For him personally, the harvest is very good, but it is not a weapon suitable for him.
Whether it is the predecessor or himself, he likes the epee very much, and after the guidance of Darius, it can be regarded as a new entry into the palace.
Now it's a little too late for him to re-learn the knowledge of guns and shields because of two high-level magic items.
The rest of the time, Modrian wandered around the cave for a few laps, and after nothing else to gain, he left the Yeti Cave with Darius.
Shadows still loom over the forests and mountains, and the bleak environment devoid of color makes people feel dull.
Modrian did not choose to leave, whether it was a temporary mission of the system, or his inner doubts about the Yeti civilization and the dwarven fortress, he needed to continue the journey of exploration into the unknown.
After repairing outside the Yeti Cave, the War Stonemasons dispersed as scouts, and the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry and the Trefalli legionnaires cleared the Shadow Forest of danger.
This time, instead of exploring the Lenwall Mountains without a goal as before, according to the revised rudimentary map, Moderian wanted to find the dwarven fortress that existed in the cave paintings.
He didn't believe that the majestic fortress would be completely annihilated in the dust of history, you know, the dwarven casting civilization is unique in the continent of Calradimos, and many master-level figures have emerged.
For example, the Gray Shield and the Gray Spear, these two magic sets are from the hands of the Ice Dwarf Master Noel Giles.
So as the habitat of the ice dwarves, how indestructible will that towering fortress be built by the ice dwarves?
......................
The path of search is full of twists and turns, the beasts and monsters that exist in the Shadow Forest, these creatures whose minds have been corrupted by the black mist, after smelling the breath of fresh flesh and blood, will always tirelessly attack the team, even blood and death cannot repel them.
Modrian sat down against the oak tree, took the food from Bobby, three portions of bacon and two pieces of dry bread, chewed it vigorously, and swallowed it.
After becoming a knight, he found that he had an increasing need for food, especially after a workout, and needed the energy from food to replenish his consumption.
"Lord Modrian!" Poppy beside him whispered.
Looking down, Modrian looked at Poppy at this time, his purple eyes were full of nervousness, and his thin hands held Oren's hammer.
"What's wrong, Bobby?"
"I feel it, that evil presence, it's very close." Bobby said in a deep voice.
Modrian frowned slightly, and looked at Darius and Sain at the same time, and found that they were also looking into the distance, as if there really was some kind of evil existence.
"Is it near us? Still is? β
"I don't feel clear, my breath is a little ethereal, as if I haven't moved in place." Poppy silently sensed it for a moment, and then her blue face showed confusion.
Throwing away the uneaten food, Modrian stood up, Darius and Sain already walking to the side.
"Lord Modrian, us?" Darius asked.
Modrian's face was full of confusion, and finally he exhaled lightly and said firmly: "Go on, and if you encounter danger, evacuate directly." β
"Yes!" Darius, Bobby, and Sain all said at the same time.
Perhaps as Poppy sensed, as Modrian and his party had advanced a few kilometers, a familiar black mist slowly emerged from the Shadow Forest.
The mist was very light, and compared to the previous one, it was like a thin veil, looming.
The team stopped, and Modrian looked at the black mist in front of him with a solemn face, he didn't dare to try these weird things easily.
Is this the end of this exploration?
He was a little reluctant, the murals in the Yeti Cave informed the changes in the Lenwall Mountains, and now, the answer may not be far away.
As if sensing Modrian's emotions, Poppy took a step forward, a faint golden glow spreading from under his feet until he enveloped the entire team.
[Firm demeanor]!
A gentle light enveloped everyone, dispelling the slightest cold feeling, and even faintly perceiving that their own speed had increased considerably.
"It's not there!" Modrian looked ahead, his eyes revealing strange colors, and those faint black mist slowly evaporated like cold water meeting fire after touching the golden light.
"How long will it last?" Modrian looked down at Poppy and said softly.
"Don't worry, my lord, when I can't hold on, I'll say it in advance." Poppy smiled innocently and cutely when he saw Modrian's look of concern.
Without hesitation, everyone rushed directly into the black mist, their pace quickening, racing against time.
However, after crossing the slightly raised hill in front of him, Modrian stopped and looked at the majestic fortress not far away, surrounded by mountain peaks, with a shocked expression.
Different from the frescoes, the gray walls of this majestic fortress are full of mottled marks, the closed heavy city gate is open, the mysterious patterns engraved are blurred, and even the gate on the right side is missing, as if... It's like going through a terrible epic war.
Looking at it again, you can see that there is a faint black mist wrapped around the majestic fortress, and even the mountains are swallowed up in it, vaguely forming a pitch-black vortex, like the evil ghosts of the underworld, showing their teeth and claws, so as to make a mystery.
"Huh?" Modrian suddenly sensed an inexplicable longing growing in his heart, tempting him into the fortress in front of him.
It's like the dark whisper he experienced last time, but it's much weaker, and it basically doesn't affect his normal thinking.
Looking around, most of the Noxian soldiers were like this, but in the face of their hard will, they were all vain and had little effect.
"Do you want to go in?"
Modrian shook his head, he was not a fool, the temptation in the dark whispers was most likely a trap, and the existence of evil was located in the dwarven fortress in front of him.
He didn't know why the black mist was so faint this time, thinking that there was something wrong with the evil being, otherwise he wouldn't have secretly lured them into the fortress.
γDing....... After going through a lot of hardships, explore a safe way! γ
[Temporary Mission: Explore the Lenwall Mountains, Successfully Completed!] γ
[Get Reward: Unknown!?] γ
[Comments: This is a journey of exploration where you can grow, and it will be easier for you to become a qualified lord.] γ
Hearing the system prompt ringing in his ears, Modrian was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the temporary mission would be completed here, could it be that the reason why the system was released in the first place was to find this dwarven fortress?
If you think about it, the ever-year-round snow-covered Lenwall Mountains lie in the northern part of the continent of Calradimos, and its vast area borders more than a dozen countries is almost impossible to explore in 60 days.
Modrian didn't think much of it, he put his consciousness on the rudimentary framework of the system, and a blank card appeared inside the object, waiting for him to open it.
