Chapter 576: Eternal Watcher
Nearly noon, after half a day of high-speed flight, the magic ship finally arrived at a large basin adjacent to the Silishus Desert. According to the explorer's travelogue, the basin is called Angolo Crater, and in the center of the basin is an active volcano that reaches into the sky, and the circular basin is densely covered with water and deep forests, inhabited by many prehistoric giants.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Murong Feng drove the spaceship along the circular mountain range around this huge basin, and then climbed over a towering mountain range and plunged directly into the endless desert.
"Captain, the navigator is jamming!" The girl kitten suddenly exclaimed.
"Hell! The balance gyroscope and magic radar are also jammed! The boy Xiaoyu shouted with a pale face.
"Don't be nervous, the magnetic field in this desert is very chaotic, and I almost got lost and couldn't find my way back the last time I accidentally broke into here." Murong Feng held the trembling rudder to stabilize the flying attitude of the spaceship, while reducing the speed and altitude of the spaceship.
"These magic instruments are all out of order, how can we find our way now?" The girl kitten said nervously.
Murong Feng casually opened the porthole baffle of the wheelhouse, raised his hand to cover the dazzling sunlight, and hummed: "What are you panicking, the navigator can't be used, can't you distinguish the direction according to the sun's position?" ”
The girl kitten looked embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and asked, "Then where are we flying now?" ”
"Don't be busy flying in yet, this desert is very weird, the deeper you go into the magnetic field interference, the stronger the interference of the magnetic field, this magic spaceship is estimated to only fly here, and the next road can only rely on our legs to hike in." Murong Feng leaned on the porthole and looked down for a moment, and said, "Do you remember the elven sentry recorded in the travelogue?" Let's land somewhere first and see if there are any new clues. ”
The magic ship slowly descended in altitude. Hovering at a height of ten meters above the ground.
Murong Feng directly turned over and jumped off the side of the boat. Fluttering down on the hot sand. The little couple slid down the rope. Not far in front of the three of them was the elven sentry half-buried by the wind and sand.
Collapsed towers. The dilapidated wooden structure of the small stone house has long since weathered, leaving only the remains of a desolate and dead stone wall.
Murong Feng walked ahead with a gun, and walked to a hut with leaky air on all sides, only to see a stone slab standing at the door, with a line of words engraved in ancient elven script on it-'Whoever you are, please turn around and leave this desert immediately.' Continuing only leads to the dark abyss. ’
"The handwriting is still very clear, and it seems that this stone tablet has not been standing here for long." Murong Feng turned to the two and beckoned, "Give me that travelogue." ”
The girl kitten took out her travelogue and handed it to Murong Feng. Murong Feng looked at the travelogue and checked the handwriting on the stone tablet, nodded and said, "It was written by the same person." It was supposed to be left behind after the explorer was rescued. ”
"Does it say where the Eternal Watch resides?" The girl kitten asked.
"Nope. But it shouldn't be far from here. Murong Feng groaned, and stepped forward to move the stone tablet, which was not very light.
"Leaving such a stone monument in the desert is not something that can be done in a day." Murong Feng turned around and looked around, "That explorer should have stayed for a day or two when he carved this stone tablet, so that watchman might have lived in seclusion somewhere nearby." ”
"But there's not even a drop of water here, it's all sand. How did the watchman survive? The girl kitten wondered.
Murong Feng handed her back the travelogue and said, "Isn't it written on it, that watchman can be stationed here for thousands of years, and he is obviously not a mortal. Perhaps she already knows about our arrival, and it depends on whether the person is willing to show up to meet us. Let's go. Let's go back to the ship first. ”
The three of them returned to the ship, and as soon as Murong Feng flew onto the deck of the spaceship, he saw a female elf standing quietly on the deck, looking at the spaceship curiously.
For a while, the two of them stared at each other.
"You. Are you the watchman of this desert? Murong Feng, who had come back to his senses, asked first. Then the little couple who climbed up were also stunned for a long time.
The female elf smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Uh, maybe it won't be long, sorry, but my concept of time is a little different from yours, hehehe. ”
Murong Fengxiu frowned and asked suspiciously, "Do you know that we are coming?" ”
Larochar, the Eternal Watcher, smiled, "It was Marzaha who told me. He said that there would be guests visiting in the next few days, and I asked me to receive it on my behalf, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly. The watchman looked at Murong Feng's petite figure with a smile as he spoke, and said, "It seems that the sequelae of negative energy are even more serious than imagined!" Even Ashtive's little girl is helpless? ”
Murong Feng pulled the corners of his mouth and said politely: "This is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk." ”
Larochar, the Eternal Watcher, nodded, and followed the others into the cabin.
"I'm going to make tea, what kind of tea do you like to drink?" The girl kitten asked respectfully.
"I haven't had tea for a long time, and I remember that the last time I drank tea, it was a clear water that an explorer rescued by me took from the crater to repay me......" Eternal Watch La Rochal pursed her lips and smiled: "Hehe, sorry, it's far away, just bring me a glass of water." ”
The girl kitten sweated a little, and quickly turned around to pour a glass of water for the strange watchman.
Murong Feng opened his mouth and asked at this time, "Your Excellency the Watchman, I guess you already know the intention of several of us, right?" ”
Larochar, the Eternal Watcher, sipped his clear water and nodded, "You're all here to find the lost city, aren't you?" ”
The three of them nodded hurriedly.
Larochar, the Eternal Watcher, put down his teacup and said calmly, "But if I tell you that Acacia no longer exists, will you still look for it?" ”
"It doesn't exist!?" The three of them said in unison in surprise.
Murong Feng was stunned and asked, "What does it mean that it doesn't exist?" Was it completely buried by the wind and sand? If it doesn't exist, why did that Marzaha trick me into coming here? ”
"It's literal, it doesn't exist anymore." Larochel, the Eternal Watcher, thought for a moment and said, "To be precise, the city, along with the entire oasis, was swallowed up by the dark abyss. ”
The more the three of them listened, the more confused they became.
"Your Excellency Watcher, do you make that clear?" Murong Feng asked.
"Well, it's a long story." LaRochaal, the Eternal Warden, sighed deeply. The trio immediately pricked up their ears. Knowing that this is an NPC, it's time to start a long story about the plot.
"Since Aecasia was conquered by the Zerg a thousand years ago. The Cenarion Council withdrew from the desert. But in the heart of the city of Aekasia lies a fountain of pure magic, which the servants of the ancient gods have tried to destroy, but have never succeeded. ”
"Ahh There really is a holy spring! I knew the legend was true! The girl kitten shouted in surprise, and then she was rewarded with a popping chestnut by her boyfriend, and sat back obediently to continue listening to the watchman tell the plot.
"But not long ago, an uninvited group of guests came to this desert - Twilight's hammer! A cult that pursues the evil power of the Elder Gods. "Then these madmen colluded with the servants of the Elder Evil God, using the Zerg army and evil magic to hollow out the entire layer of the Aecasia ruins, dragging the entire ruins into the dark abyss, along with the holy spring. ”
"That is, if you still want to find the lost Acacia. I'm afraid I'll have to go to the underworld! ”
The three of them were dumbfounded, and Murong Feng was surprised: "Why did those madmen bury the entire ruins in the underground world? Is it any good for them to do so? ”
Larochar, the Eternal Watcher, sighed, "The Zerg's Lord of Faith, Cthun, is an ancient evil god sealed by the Titans in the depths of this desert, and the spring located in the city of Acacia is actually a fountain of magic left by the Titans, specially used to maintain the seal that suppressed the ancient evil gods. Now that the fountain of magic has fallen into the dark abyss along with Acacia, the seal left by the Titans is tantamount to self-defeating, and the ancient evil god Cthun may not be able to break the seal and regain his freedom in a short time, and then the swarm of insects that cover the sky and the sun will sweep the entire world! ”
"Young man, would you like to help me deliver this news to the Eternal Night Harbor in the Moonlight Glades? It was the headquarters of the Cenarion Council, and it was hoped that Cenarius would respond in time. Eternal Watch La Rochal's gaze rested on the little couple.
"Hey, my hidden mission has been updated!" The girl kitten was surprised.
The boy Xiaoyu also nodded and said, "Mine too, it seems that the two of us have triggered the next plot." ”
"Yuexian, what about your mission?" The girl kitten looked at Murong Feng.
Eternal Watch La Rohal replied on behalf of Murong Feng, "She still has to stay and do me a small favor." ”
Murong Feng shrugged. Indicates the default. In fact, she doesn't have any hidden tasks at all.
"Okay. So let's say goodbye. The boy Xiaoyu got up and said goodbye: "Excuse me, you can take us here." Otherwise, the two of us wouldn't have been here. ”
"It's just a ride, a ride, don't be polite." Murong Feng smiled and asked, "Do you know where that moonlight woodland is?" Far from it? Why don't I give you another ride? ”
The little couple shook their heads blankly.
Eternal Watch La Rochaal then said, "There is a teleportation array in my Deerhelm Sentry that can teleport you both directly to the Moonlit Glades. Although I have been blessed by the Time Guardian to become an Eternal, I am also imprisoned by time, otherwise I would not have bothered you. ”
"Great, I finally don't have to travel long distances!" The girl kitten breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yuexian, let's have another adventure together when we have the opportunity in the future." ”
"Okay." Murong Feng replied with a smile.
The magic ship was activated again, and flew towards the deerhelm sentry standing on a nearby mountain peak. Then the three of them said goodbye to each other, and the little couple stepped into the teleportation array opened by the watchman and disappeared inside, leaving only Murong Feng here.
"Follow me." Eternal Watch La Rohal beckoned to Murong Feng and led her to the next room, then pointed to a purple-black hooded cloak on the table and said, "This is the cloak of the Twilight Cultist, and there is a fake letter of introduction here. ”
Murong Feng immediately knew what he was going to do next, and couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth and said, "With my current appearance, even if I wrap the whole person tightly from head to toe, I will be seen through by the other party at a glance, right?" ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Larochar, the Eternal Watcher, laughed, "The members of those Twilight Believers are complex, there are mercenary humans, fallen dark elves, brainless orcs, stupid ogres, and dwarves, goblins, and gnomes. It's more than enough to pretend to be a goblin or a dwarf at your current height. Marzaha has prepared this letter for you, and if you take this letter of introduction and head south along the mountains to the east, you will arrive at an elven town called Southwind Village, but it has long been in ruins, and now it has been overrun by the Twilight Cultists and has become a camp for Twilight recruits. ”
"And then?" Murong Feng asked, "That guy tricked me here first, and then went to great lengths to let me infiltrate the Twilight Hammer organization, there must be some plan, right?" ”
Eternal Watch La Rohal bent down and stared at Murong Feng's eyes with a smile, and said, "Although the Twilight Hammer is a cult organization composed of a group of crazy people, they have the most powerful power of the ancient evil god - the power of shadows! ”
As soon as Murong Feng raised the corners of his eyebrows, he listened to Eternal Warden La Rochal continue: "The shadow energy in your body is transformed from negative energy, and it is even purer and more powerful than the shadow power of the ancient evil gods full of evil will. It's just that you don't know how to control and use this powerful power now, so you will be consumed by this power and cause your body to degenerate. Now you know what I mean, right? ”
Murong Feng nodded and said, "Understood!" ”
"Very well, go ahead, young man." Larochel, the Eternal Watcher, straightened up and admonished, "You are smart and powerful at the same time, and we need a new force like you to fight against an ancient evil being. Remember, use your will to harness power, and never let power cloud your mind. ”
Murong Feng dragged the cloak of the Twilight Believer and draped it on his body, then picked up the forged identity letter on the table and put it in his arms, and replied in a deep voice, "Thank you for your teachings, Your Excellency Watchman. ”
"I'll keep the magic spaceship outside for you, so I guess you won't use it to report." LaRochaal, the Eternal Watcher, smiled.
"Well, as you wish, the magic ship outside is yours for the time being." Murong Feng smiled, then tightened the cloak on his body and pushed the door out of the sentry.
Not long after Murong Feng left the deer helmet guard alone, a translucent shadow appeared beside the watchman. (To be continued.) )
