They didn't have to wait long, and a month after returning from the astral plane, the Bahamut Temple in the capital of the Aragonese Empire in the Central Continent issued an inexplicable large-scale exploration mission.

Another inexplicable aspect of this mission is that although it was only transmitted from one empire, it was jointly issued by the three bishops of the Bahamut temple in three nearby countries.

In addition, they designated the mission to be open only to those who are good and obedient and believe in Bahamut, and to refuse the participation of the rest of the camp and believers in other gods.

As soon as the news spread, it caused a huge sensation.

You must know that the status of the bishop of Bahamut in the state is no less than that of a grand duke, and it is simply unheard of for three bishops of three countries to issue an unlimited task at the same time.

As for the additional requirements of the task, this is not a problem at all for the adventurer - what kind of adventurer should an obedient child be?

If Glesia hadn't reminded herself, she probably wouldn't have paid attention to what was thousands of miles away.

When Macaria told Blue the news, Blue was immediately shocked.

Linking what Glesia said to the strange mission of the temple of Bahamut made sense.

As for why factions and beliefs are restricted, just think of the artifact's cohomology requirements, which is the perfect explanation.

Compared with those adventurers who want to explore inexplicably, Blue has been "spoiled" a lot in advance.

In fact, he probably knew more than the three bishops who gave the assignment.

The three bishops may have only listened to the oracle from Bahamut, not knowing that the ultimate "prize" for exploring the ruins was an artifact.

It is even less likely that this artifact is only the beginning of an epic, and its main target will be a girl in a remote country thousands of miles away.

"Do you know the destination of that mission?"

Macaria unfolded the previous map, then pointed to a black area at the bottom of the Central Continent and said, "Right here." ”

Blue looked at the place she was pointing at and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Do you know what it means to point to the map like this?" ”

Macaria shrugged her shoulders: "Of course I know, my dear Blue, but the problem is that the public mission is like that. In fact, no one has a map in this black area, where my ancestors and yours fought in ancient times. Because of the contamination of dark magic, that area has been devoid of grass until now, and there are many undead and evil creatures, which is a very dangerous area. ”

As Macaria said, the small black patch on the map, if enlarged, would not be much smaller than the entire kingdom of Tars.

It was the site of the final battle between the former Bal Tulasi Empire and the Akhorsia Empire, and was also the capital of the Bal Tulasi Empire.

Once the two powerful empires of the Central Continent fought a final battle there, countless dragons, dragonborns, devils and demons fell there.

Dead souls, evil forces, rampaging magic, and the corrosive aura of the abyss that flowed from the demonic invasion left it surrounded by a black mist that never dissipated all year round, and it was all in ruins.

Legend has it that there is the lowest level of undead, the skeleton, and the almost top undead, the Dragon Lich.

Bahamut put the artifact there, which was really bad enough.

His concept of "what is not something that he has worked hard to earn will not be cherished" is also the belief of his group of believers.

All in all, it's not a high-level adventure team, and entering this area is just delivering food.

This can be regarded as another kind of mercy, after all, when the mid-level and low-level adventure teams see that area, they naturally give up the task and will not join in the fun.

Looking at the map in front of him, Blue's eyes gradually lost focus, as if thinking about something.

……

The bone-chilling night breeze blows through the endless desert, blowing the seemingly soft sand up and making a sound like rain in the darkness.

Without fixed sand vegetation, the landscape of the desert is changing all the time, and a general map is meaningless.

Because as soon as I woke up the next day, the map I just drew yesterday was completely changed.

The desert in the dark night is particularly empty and mysterious, and in the winter season, there are all kinds of wild beasts, which can be said to represent terror and death, which is very unsuitable for action.

Anyone who has spent a lot of time in this dead place where there are no coordinates and nothing but sand will have a chilling feeling of wanting to go crazy.

There is a saying in the Aresg Desert that the people who travel in the wilderness at night are either merchants and adventurers who are not afraid of death, or fools and idiots, or both.

At this time, Blue and his party were wearing a black cloak that covered their whole body, hurrying on the desert.

Of course, they are not masochists.

In the previous days, Blue and Chrisanna were traveling in dragon form, while Macaria was led by Orianna, and Lux was flying and following in the form of a demon, and the group of five people reached the border of the Kingdom of Tas, which is also the edge of the Arestar Desert in a few hours.

Because of their proximity to the border, there were more guards, and in order to avoid being seen or detected flying by dragons, they took on human form.

Blue didn't want to enter the country at the border checkpoint of a neighboring country, and it was more convenient for them to go through the dangerous Jewel Canyon.

Gem Canyon is actually under the jurisdiction of Gem Town, which was actually called Gem City a long, long time ago.

The ore and gemstones produced here are endlessly flocking to the city, and at its peak, there were nearly 200,000 people in the gem city.

But with the mining of the veins and the absence of the rest of the specialties, the City of Gems has completely declined in just over a decade.

Now he can maintain the title of town, and it is also because he is on the border between the two countries, and for the needs of the front-line soldiers, he has placed a lot of orders for food and weapons here, so that he can barely maintain the life of the people in the town.

And after the veins were depleted, gradually, the originally summoned and naturally formed Gleishi people roamed around the gem canyon.

Although these monsters are tame, not many people dare to approach them.

In addition to the Glaishi people, there are also some skeletons formed by miners who died due to various mining disasters, as well as a small number of kobolds, desert goblins and other unfriendly races here, so there have been no outsiders in Gem Canyon for a long time.

And today, five figures of Blue broke into the place.
