Chapter Seventy-Three: Requiem of the Ancient Town
Outside the Melting Pot Quarter, Rhodes strolls through the streets of Old Town.
Due to the ghost incident, there were few people in the old neighborhood, and Rhodes walked here alone, his tall figure looking very calm and confident in the shadowy and treacherous environment.
Rod's pace was not fast, and his mind was still stuck in the conversation he had just had with Vertis.
"I didn't expect Virtis to be associated with that mysterious merchant...... Sure enough, it's a man of great luck. Rod thought to himself.
In a recent conversation, Viltis tells a story about the days of their dwarven tribes, and although the story is vague and seemingly insignificant in the evolution of the dwarven clans, Rhodes is keenly aware of it.
Vertis mentions a powerful and mysterious merchant!
"That mysterious profiteer is everywhere!" Rod sighed.
He naturally knew about the mysterious profiteer, more than one Vertis, in the magnificent era of the late Ash world, many strong or great people had dealt with the mysterious profiteer to a greater or lesser extent.
The mysterious profiteer is known by many names: the Epic Merchant, the Elixir Merchant, the Indentured Merchant......
But without exception, the things he sells are definitely the best of the best, but sometimes the price is a little pitted.
Many people have speculated about the origin of the merchant, but unfortunately, no one can figure out his true origin until Rhodes crosses over, only that his footprints are almost all over the entire Ash world.
There have even been people who have seen him on another dimension.
There are many rumors about him, the most popular of which is that there must be precious treasures in the place where the merchant is located, and the people who trade with him are either lucky players or epic natives who change the world.
Don't look at Vertis just a quick mention.
But Rhodes was sure that what the mysterious merchant had left behind had definitely made the dwarven clan have a huge effect on the development process, just like the sword, which in some way even promoted the development of brave weapons.
But this trip to Rhodes may be the biggest takeaway.
Thinking of these things, the corners of Rod's mouth raised slightly, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the dimensional ring.
In the ring.
A small golden crystal was lying there quietly.
It was given to him by Veltis.
Vertis's gift surprised even Rhodes. This dwarven elder is worthy of being a wise sage, he has both profound wisdom and dwarven boldness, perhaps at this age, many things have been taken lightly.
Don't underestimate this little golden crystal.
It was left behind by the mysterious merchant, and in a sense, it was an opportunity, or rather, it was a cause and effect.
It's not that the mysterious merchant needs any evidence to trade, but according to the law of cause and effect, only those who are destined for him will give him a chance to trade, otherwise even if the two of you face each other, he will not give a chance.
Of course.
Many times the businessman prefers to forcibly get in touch with people, and he will take the initiative to find the so-called destined people, and often these people without exception will become famous people in the future.
Rhodes estimated that the old man Veltis also estimated to have some understanding of the value of this small crystal.
Generally, after advancing to a legend, you will be very sensitive to your own fate or your own related rules.
There are many mysterious and indescribable threads of fate on this small golden crystal.
It can be said that the more powerful the person, the more he understands the value of this kind of thing.
And it is such an indescribable token, that Veltis actually said to send it away, this courage and willingness are not available to many people, and Rod was caught off guard.
He couldn't even figure out what medicine was being sold in that Great Elder's gourd now.
…………
Thinking about the merchant, Rhodes walked into the distance.
Suddenly.
He stopped moving forward, only to see Rod staring solemnly into the dark shadows ahead, and he didn't know when it started, and there were bursts of fog around Rode.
"Ghost incidents? Wrong! ”
Rod's face was full of solemnity, a giant sword appeared in his hand, and he looked at the strange shadow in front of him and the fog around him, thinking quickly in his heart.
"The Ghost Event has never been heard of changing the surrounding environment, and there has been a dimensional shift phenomenon around it!" Rhodes held the giant sword, his face was silent, but his heart was very heavy.
These phenomena are not uncommon in the future, and Rhodes, who used to be a mercenary, has taken on such tasks many times.
And those who are veteran adventurers know very well what the phenomenon of dimensional transfer means! It means that behind the fog there is either an incomparably terrifying Ancient Giant, or an ancient dungeon in the depths of the mist!
"Judging from the plot that will happen in Stormwind City in the future, this shouldn't be the fucking rhythm of the opening of 'Ancient Town Requiem'!"
The more Rod thought about it, the heavier his heart became.
He knew the secret hidden beneath Stormwind, and beneath Stormwind City, or in the deepest part of the [Reserve Forbidden Zone] of the Storm Spire, there was a [Ancient Town Requiem] that was one of the few in the Ash world.
- Requiem of the Ancient Town.
It's a name for a mysterious ancient dungeon. Generally speaking, the ruins of ancient times contain ancient wisdom crystals and mysterious treasures, and [Ancient Town Requiem] is the top existence in these ancient ruins, which not only has amazing wealth and harvest, but also has terrifying crises.
The [Ancient Town Requiem] of Ash's world, as far as Rhodes knew, had never exceeded ten.
Every Requiem, it symbolizes the opportunity to ascend to the gods, and even the treasury of the gods is not necessarily as rich as the requiem. But at the same time, it comes with crises that can destroy everything.
"Hell yes! That's not how the plot is! ”
Rhodes felt the fog getting thicker and thicker, and roared wildly inside. At this moment, he could even feel the cold power coming from the other side of the mist, it was the undead erosion of the realm of the dead, and the terrifying evil force was penetrating into the present world across some kind of boundary between life and death.
A cold wind blew, obviously a breeze on his face, but Rod was cold all over.
There was a dead silence in the surroundings.
The whole old neighborhood seemed to have become that kind of old black and white photograph, time was frozen at this moment, the light on the top of the rock gradually faded away, the fog covered everything faster and faster, everything around Rhodes seemed to evaporate, and the silence was terrifying.
"It's coming!"
Rod said secretly, his hand holding the giant sword clenched the hilt, a hint of determination appeared on his face, and he fearlessly stared directly at the shadow in front of him, and on the other side of the shadow, a sound was coming.
It's closer...... The voice was getting closer......
Rhodes stared deadly ahead, a darker color in the shadows, and a tall figure slowly approached, accompanied by the collision of sonorous armor and nightmarish murmurs.
"The king is calling, the wind is telling, the knight is back, and the glory will never stop!"
It was obviously a glorious words, but it turned into an extremely evil murmur in Rod's ears, and the hoarse voice rubbed against the current continental lingua franca, and even the human vocal organs could not produce such a strange tone, but Rod understood, it was a wonderful feeling, like clever words.
"No matter how glorious a kingdom is, there will be a day when it will be ruined! Even if you are unwilling, life and death cannot be trampled on! ”
Rhodes suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily, the giant sword sword qi in his hand boiled, the sharp sword qi cut through the surrounding fog, the darkness outside the fog flashed away, and his figure flashed, rushing into the fog like a sharp arrow.
When it comes to the dimensional fog of the Ancient Town Requiem, it's useless to escape.
Although Rhodes fell into the legendary realm, he still had a kind of consciousness about the spatial ripples generated around him, and turning around and running away at this time was afraid that it would cause a more terrible chain reaction.
"Kill!"
A terrible roar rang out in the shadows, and a warrior covered in battle armor stepped out of the shadows.
Just as Rhodes and the deceased collided, the surrounding fog continued to surge, like boiling water, as if the surrounding heaven and earth were spinning, and an invisible force shrouded the surrounding fog, dragging this space into some unknown dimension.
…………
Outside the fog.
The old neighborhood is still quiet and peaceful, and everything is so beautiful under the vicissitudes of history.
Several black shadows silently appeared near the block where Rhodes was just now, each of them wearing the badge of the "Storm Hunter Group", and at this moment these people were staring intently at that block.
A hunter soldier with a big bow on his back saw that the fog was about to dissipate, and he said in a deep voice to a person beside him: "Connie, you can't delay it, that young man has fallen into the dimensional fog just now!" ”
"What's the hurry," Connie said with a funny smile, but his eyes were not warm.
With a funny smile, he turned to look at the archer, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Remember, it's just for us to dispel the fog!" Prevent ghost events from happening, and for the rest, don't ask for trouble! ”
Looking at the smiling tiger-like Connie, several warriors felt a chill in their hearts.
But he didn't refute it, this is the Shadow Realm, everyone is realistic, they are not as great as those priests, Connie has an extraordinary background, there is no need to offend him because of an irrelevant young man.
When Rod's figure was completely submerged in the mist, Connie said slowly: "Prepare the 'Soul Suppression Emblem' to dispel the fog." ”
When several people behind him heard this, they jumped one after another and went to that block to deal with the fog that had a tendency to expand.
This Connie, originally according to the orders of Stormwind City, their duty is to prevent the fog from interfering with reality, and many magic items have been assigned in the Stormwind Academy that are specially used to detect, dispel, and eliminate the fog.
They could have dispelled the fog in advance, but now they actually sit back and watch Rhodes fall into the fog!
