Chapter 278: Swamp Giant Crocodile (First Update)

Deep underneath the Death Swamp, in a stone underground tomb, an old mage about sixty or seventy years old with a wrinkled face, gray hair, and a pair of eyes staring straight at a mirror in front of him, it turned out to be Gavin and Morgana!

This is a scrawny old mage, the red mage robe on his body has been torn in many places, and after sewing and repairing, the spell runes have been destroyed, but he can still vaguely see the original appearance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the right chest, an eye wrapped in flames is embroidered with fiery red silk thread, and there are three horizontal lines under the eye.

This is the coat of arms of the magical acropolis in the Inland Sea, and the three horizontal lines represent the three mage ranks.

He turned out to be a high-ranking mage of the Magic Acropolis!

It's just that I don't know why, he is here, and the mage's robe is torn in many places, and it seems that it hasn't been replaced for decades.

A middle-aged man knelt behind him, a scar from his right sideburns to his left ear, curling like a big centipede, disgusting.

Scar!

This is his name. Twenty years have passed, and no one knows his real name, because all those who know his real name are dead.

He is the founder and strongest of the largest group of thieves between the two cities, "Fireworks", and is an extremely powerful high-ranking warrior, who is said to have been an officer in the Heavenly Sword Fortress twenty years ago, and has a wide range of connections.

I didn't expect to kneel here.

Could it be that he is a follower or servant of the old mage, who is the real master of the "fireworks"?

"Master, the mage seems to have discovered that he was being watched? Do you want me to kill him? Scar said in a deep voice, his voice as ugly as his face, a bit like the crow of a crow, hoarse and rough.

"Hey, what about the discovery? He couldn't have imagined that the 'eyes' that had been staring at him were actually hidden under his feet! My 'Eyes of Ooze Mud' are hidden in the mud of this swamp, how could he possibly find out? ”

The old mage's voice was even hoarser than Scar, and it was hard to hear.

He didn't even look at Scar, but kept staring at the mirror, and said coldly: "Scar, has the source of the news been clarified?" ”

Scar lowered his head and said, "It's clear, the news is from the black cat." The Black Cat Brotherhood isn't all gone, she's still alive, and she's told me the news through the people who infiltrated the 'fireworks' under her men. ”

"Borrow a knife to kill." The old mage's hoarse voice sounded: "The trick of the weak! ”

Scar whispered: "Master, the strength of the black cat is very strong. The Black Cat Brotherhood has risen rapidly in recent years, and it can compete with fireworks, except for the fact that she has people in the Heavenly Sword Fortress, her own strength is the most important factor! Being able to almost wipe out the Black Cat Brotherhood and forcing her to come up with such a means, the strength of those people is not ordinary! But this is your territory, and the fireworks are not black cats, so I'm confident that I can kill them! ”

"There's no hurry."

The old mage raised his right hand and tapped the black ring on his left index finger. A few seconds later, a dark figure appeared in the shadows of the burial chamber. If you don't look closely, you can't even see his presence.

"Tell that guy to mobilize the swamp crocodile! Ten minutes later, I'm going to see four bodies! ”

…………

In the swamp of death, a rugged path.

There is no road here, and there are many people walking, so there is naturally a road.

It was a trade route, a safe route for merchants to come and go after the Heavenly Sword Fortress was incorporated into the Flame King City. All potential dangers have been eliminated by caravans and adventurers, not once in thirty years due to casualties caused by monster sneak attacks.

But what about the reptile footprints on the ground?

"It's the footprints of a swamp crocodile." Morgana whispered.

These footprints are exactly the same as those found in magic books, and only swamp crocodiles have such footprints. The footprints of ordinary crocodiles are not that big and not that deep.

"Swamp crocodile? It is said that eighty years ago, the Death Swamp did indeed have a lot of swamp crocodiles. However, it seems that the swamp crocodile is full of treasures, and most of them were slaughtered by the adventurers, and then they were slaughtered by the Flame Lancers. We've been on this trade route for years, and we've never seen a swamp crocodile! Amelia was a little confused.

The blood of the swamp giant crocodile is a very useful alchemy material, and the hard crocodile skin on the back is the best material for making high-quality leather armor, because crocodile skin has a good affinity for energy, and it is easy to enchant runes.

Leather goods made of high-quality crocodile skin may even have a very small dimensional space. In fact, the material used in most dimensional bags is crocodile leather.

The skin of the swamp crocodile is a little better than the skin of a regular crocodile. Although the reproductive ability of the swamp giant crocodile is not weak, it has always been in short supply because of the huge demand.

There is no way, the number of better dragon skin protectors or dimensional bags is too small, and it is easy to cause disgust and even hunting down by the dragons, people who do not have a certain status, a certain wealth and a certain strength, don't think about it, but relatively inferior, low-priced crocodile leather goods are more popular.

"The swamp crocodile of the Swamp of Death, which caused a sensation a few decades ago. The merchants and adventurers who were the fastest at that time later became millionaires. "Morgana is very familiar with the history of the Divine Gryphon Emperor in the last hundred years, not to mention the slaughter of giant crocodiles in the Death Swamp at that time, which caused a great sensation, and even the Pegasus City Lord at that time paid special attention to it.

Perhaps it was because the greedy merchants and adventurers almost slaughtered the swamp giant crocodile, and the effect of the natural barrier of the Death Swamp was reduced by half, so the Heavenly Sword Fortress finally failed to stop the attack of the Flame Kingdom, and finally became a city of the Flame Kingdom.

"Why the supposed dead swamp crocodile has reappeared, I don't know. But one thing is certain: this incident has something to do with black cats. Gavin said lightly.

He smelled blood, coming from the east.

"Oriental?" Hearing Gavin's words, Hans was silent for a few seconds, and then said in a deep voice: "To the east of the Death Swamp, there is a real place of death, and many people think that it is the real Death Swamp. Because no one came out of it alive, and it is said that there is a terrible monster hidden there. ”

Amelia's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly added: "Uncle Hans is right, it is said that there is the real swamp of death, a quagmire of cannibalism!" No one dared to get three kilometers closer than there, and those who dared to get close were dead! ”

"Because of the temptation of the huge interests of the swamp giant crocodile, the then Pegasus City Lord sent someone to investigate. Although all the people involved in the investigation died, there was still a piece of news. Morgana looked at Gavin and said, "There's another place below the Death Swamp, connecting a huge dark area, which is the birthplace of the swamp crocodile!" ”
