381 Half-Elf Wanderer
With the current magic wound of the sycamore, the flames that erupted were so ferocious, and the scorching flame stream almost burned the soil on the ground, and the moist moss that was full of water dried up and caught fire in an instant.
The entire underground canal was like a furnace in the center of the earth, turning into a fiery red, and the glue monster with a purulent nose and old phlegm was like a huge sponge, which was scalded and quickly tightened, and the mucus in its body was suddenly squeezed out in large quantities, forming a protective layer to prevent itself from being burned to death.
Sycamore only briefly sprayed and interrupted the flames, because he was afraid that the person wrapped in it would also be burned to death, and the black gum monster burned by the flame became dying, and the person wrapped in it seemed to feel that someone was helping him, when he felt that the gum monster fell into weakness, he stabbed out a long dagger, and cut a long hole in the body of the gum monster that became sticky like a rice cake after being burned by the fire, and drilled out violently!
To the surprise of Wutong and Lingyue Shuangxue, the trapped person turned out to be a female half-elf wanderer, she quickly turned over, half-squatted on the ground and gasped for a while, and after recovering her strength, she suddenly ran over, and once again slashed a hole in the body of the gelatinous monster, slammed a bottle of fiery red potion into it, turned her head and ran towards Wutong, and shouted loudly: "Be careful! Get down! ”
As she spoke, she fell to the ground with a flutter, curled up, and wrapped her arms around her head.
"Boom!"
A flame more terrifying than Sycamore's [Burning Hand] erupted from the gelatin's body and turned into an all-engulfing flame that swept through the underground canal to both ends.
An invisible force field appeared in front of Wutong's bent arm, blocking the scorching flames less than a foot in front of him, and even appeared on his body at the same time [Raise Resistance], [Endurance Environment], [Shield Technique], [Mage Armor], and other layers of protection, and Lingyue Frost and Snow, who was standing beside him, instinctively threw the magic version of [Boost Resistance] on him for the first time.
There is no way, if someone is bombed dozens of times a day in the laboratory, they can also practice this instinct.
Therefore, in the face of the noisy flow of flames, Wutong calmly faced the incoming fiery red flames, which was similar to the explosion he had suffered in the laboratory, similar to the breeze blowing on his face.
The half-elf wanderer who fell to the ground looked at the mage trio standing there in amazement, the most powerful alchemy bomb she had just stuffed into the gum monster's body! Even the gum monsters were incinerated and turned into flying ashes, but they couldn't affect these three seemingly weak non-combat professions in the slightest.
"Uh, thank you!" The Half-Elf Wanderer scrambled to her feet, her body sticky and looking terrible.
Wutong smiled and nodded: "Hello! You okay? "It's an indigenous, not a player.
As she spoke, Sycamore threw a [Arcane Trick] at her, which was the strongest spell in the mouth of Old Man Zemur, but its actual use was mostly used to clean clothes.
Lingyue Frost Snow also helped throw a [Purification Technique] over, clearing the horrible slime residue from her body, making her much easier.
"Thank you again! My name is 'Zara', and you saved me, and I don't know how to repay you!" The half-elf girl Zara bowed to the three of them sincerely.
"I'm Wutong, and I'm surrounded by Lingyue Frost and Snow and Xiaoxiao."
Zara? Isn't that like a half-elf name? Wutong felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, maybe the family inherited the surname of a human blood relative: "What are you doing alone in the underground ruined city?" ”
"My companions and I came to investigate the [Ghoul Fever] incident, and we accidentally got separated from them here, and we came across this gelatinous monster that fell from the ceiling... Thankfully I met you! The half-elf girl said with a palpitation.
"You're here to investigate the plague too? As it happens, so do we. Wutong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that some people would think of the water source problem and find the underground ruined city.
When Zara heard this, she said happily, "Great, can I stay with you for a while?" I want to meet my companions soon, and we can work together, right? The danger here is a bit more than we expected. ”
Wutong hesitated, looked at the Lingyue Frost and Snow beside her, and found that she had no opinion, so she agreed.
"Did you find anything?" After receiving permission, Zara happily followed the Sycamore and began to walk in the direction they came from: "Where did you enter the underground ruined city?" You seem to be coming from the opposite direction to us! ”
"We had just entered, and from the slum cistern, we came across a ferocious rat and this gelatinous monster on the way, and we didn't find anything. What about you? Wutong said with some curiosity: "How many of you are there?" Where did it come down again? What is the entrance to the underground ruined city? ”
"You don't know?"
Zara was surprised and pointed to the stairs at the exit of the underground canal where they were about to ascend: "The underground ruined city is not as barren as imagined, although it is abandoned, there are also many areas inhabited by people. Here, for example, the abandoned square outside is a gathering area of the underground world. ”
"There's a lot of people living in the underground ruined city?" Wutong was stunned, he really didn't know this, and Wood didn't mention it just now.
"Of course, Fairhaven City on the ground is not a charity house that anyone can live in! Many subhuman, humanoid races are not accepted at all on the surface, and are even ostracized! ”
Zara's slender body jumped slightly, jumped up a few steps lightly, and half-turned to Wutong and said: "In order to avoid being discriminated against and hurt, most of the humanoid races that cannot survive in Fairhaven City have chosen to live in the underground ruined city, although it is far more dangerous here than on the ground, but at least no one discriminates against them, and no one will drive them away with a broom." See! ”
As he spoke, several people ascended the stairs of the underground canal to the abandoned square, as Zara said, there are actually many people active here, but the vast majority of them are orcs, half-orcs, all kinds of beasts, and even dwarves, gnomes, halflings, goblins and other humanoid races!
It seems to be a bazaar, where many residents of the underground world buy or exchange their needs, bartering to complete the transaction.
"In fact, it's not just the humanoid race, the vast majority of the underground forces in Fairhaven City have their own strongholds here, and compared to the surface, it is obviously much safer to place the organization's nest in the underground ruined city. Therefore, basically each organization has its own exclusive entrance, even more than one, just to prevent it from being surrounded by the law enforcers of Fairhaven City, as long as it is not blocked, their organization will not be wiped out in the official clean-up operation of Adele. ”
Zara kept looking around in the crowd, as if trying to find her companion, but her mouth kept explaining to him.
"Uh, yes, I have to remind you."
Zara suddenly turned around: "You'd better not show an unfriendly attitude here, or you'll be in trouble!" "Just as the inhabitants of the surface reject the presence of these creatures, the inhabitants of the surface are not welcome to enter, even though both sides are aware of each other's existence.
Wutong carefully observed, indeed, according to the number of people seen so far, there is no reason for Adele to not know that there is such a group of residents under his feet, maybe it is a compromise, or a high-level deal between the two sides, as long as the residents of the underground ruined city do not affect and destroy the order on the ground, in the face of the people who enter the underground ruined city, the authorities do turn a blind eye to their existence.
Most of the humanoid races in the bazaar are dressed as adventurers or mercenaries, and it seems that they rely on the major forces of Fairhaven City as mercenaries and thugs to earn wages and get what they need.
Wondering where the underground canals of the abandoned plaza meet, Sycamore was about to ask Zara, but found a large man who was passing by him, covered in hair, and looked like a humanoid bear, was slamming into him with his shoulder.
Almost instinctively, the sycamore turned to one side, let go of the big man, and watched it tilt its shoulders and stumble to the side to lose its balance, it seems that the force used to hit the sycamore is not small!
"What are you doing?"
Before Wutong could speak, Lingyue Shuangxue and Xiaoxiao screamed and questioned this guy with a hairy face and a bear face, it was a bear goblin, Wutong had seen its relatives when he was in the goblin tribe, and its weapons and equipment seemed to be almost difficult to mess with, and it was more burly and powerful than his primitive relatives who were only surrounded by animal skins, and didn't even bother to use animal skins, and directly relied on fur to cover their shame.
Wutong has heard that some adventure groups and mercenary groups have a large number of slaves, most of whom are engaged in cannon fodder duties, and there are also some special humanoid races that do have career templates, working in mercenary groups and adventure groups, serving as a "go to die group" work.
"Gollum!"
The burly body of the bear goblin, exuding a foul smell, it glanced at the sycamore very "honestly", and suddenly screamed.
"What is it talking about?" Wutong was dumbfounded, this guy didn't speak a lingua franca, and it wasn't any language he had ever learned, but the [goblin language] he used.
"It says it was knocked down by you, that it was badly injured, and that it demands that you compensate it."
The half-elf Zara turned her head and translated the words of the bear goblin to Sycamore, although this guy was more civilized than his relatives, wearing leather armor, boots and other equipment, but he did not have the IQ to learn the lingua franca.
"I'll wipe it! I actually met the porcelain in the game! Wutong was depressed, and turned his head to look at Zara: "Is there anything wrong with beating people in the underground ruined city?" ”
"Questions? No problem! ”
Zara blinked: "Originally, this is a dark world that is not bound by the law, and the only law here is the fist!" Whoever has the big fist is the law. ”
"That's easy!" Wutong suddenly raised his eyes and looked directly at the bear goblin mercenary, stung his eyes deadly.
[Despondent Gaze]!
A gray light shot out of Sycamore's eyes, which made his eyes look very evil and terrifying, and the bear goblin on the opposite side seemed to be frightened, and after being stunned for a while, he suddenly screamed, turned and fled!
The spells of the illusion system have this advantage, even if the other party is stronger than you, but as long as the other party's spiritual world is not as strong as yours, then you can easily play with the other party in the palm of your hand.
Scaring away the bear goblin, Sycamore shrugged his shoulders and looked around, the humanoids here exchanged for some food and some strange items, and there was nothing worth his interest, Sycamore turned to Zara and said, "Do you know where the nearest underground canal meeting point is near here?" ”
"The intersection of the underground canals?"
"It's in the passage across the square, go down from there, go underground for a few minutes, and it's the underground reservoir!" But what are you looking for at the intersection of underground canals? ”
Wutong gave Zara a strange look and said, "We're also here to investigate the plague incident!" We suspect that the ghouls are polluting the water, which is why the plague cannot be eradicated... Didn't you suspect this and come to the underground ruined city? ”
That's why my companions and I are here..."
Zara smiled dryly, turned her head to look around, and said, "Are you going now?" Can you wait for me, I'm going to find my companion, she should be nearby... When we meet her, shall we go together? ”
"Okay!" Wutong suddenly looked into Zara's eyes and smiled, "Did you make an appointment with your companion to meet there?" ”
"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”
Zara avoided her eyes in a little panic, and after looking around a little blankly, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stretched out her hand and pointed to a dilapidated building not far from the abandoned square: "There, the black market exchange in the underground ruined city, we agreed to meet there if we get separated." Shall we go together? ”
As she spoke, she hurriedly squeezed through the crowd in the abandoned square, said a few words to the dilapidated building that looked like a dilapidated building, and then beckoned to the sycamore.
"What's wrong?" Lingyue Shuangxue lowered her voice while following behind Wutong, "Isn't it a little strange?" ”
"You found out too?" Wutong laughed: "Interesting! ”
Trouble: Tomorrow make up a thousand for free, accidentally slept over...
Let's send the "Kovarai Chronicle": 36,000 years ago (-36000) before history, the goblins had established the first ancient goblin kingdom on the Kovarare continent, and since then, many ancient goblin kingdoms have blossomed everywhere on the Kovarare continent.
Around 30,000 years ago (-30,000), another indigenous race in the Kovarare continent, the orcs, rose up in the western part of the Kovaré continent and established a huge orc empire, and began to fight against the goblins.
In order to fight against the increasingly powerful orc empire, 16,000 years ago (-16000), in order to compete with the murderous orcs for living space and rich territory, a great goblin king "Dakani" unified all the goblin kingdoms and established the huge [Dakan Goblin Empire]
In the tens of thousands of years of survival war, the high-level goblins have created a glorious civilization far beyond modern humans, and only a small part of the civilization legacy they have left behind has been inherited by humans.
Fourteen thousand years ago (-14,000) BC, the Hokuriku barbarians who migrated from the northernmost part of the [Kovaré Continent], the Hokuriku on the other side of the [Sea of Tribulation], [Iluskan Continent], destroyed and occupied the area.
In the face of these tall enemies who are several times their height, the high-ranking goblins of the [Dakan Goblin Empire] can only reluctantly abandon the northern territory and the capital of the empire [Dakani City], retreat to the south, and move the capital to the territory of the former [Kingdom of Serre], which is now the capital of the [Kingdom of Dagon] [Lucanzor].
But this is only the beginning of the tragedy of the [Dakan Goblin Empire], about 12,000 years ago (-12000) BC, the dwarves also migrated from the [Frostfall Homeland] of the [Iluscan Continent] to the Kovarare Continent, occupying the [Tiegen Mountains] in the east of the continent, and the territory of the [Dakan Goblin Empire] began to shrink.
About 10,000 years ago (-10,000) ago, the elves of the southern [Eleno Continent] crossed the [Storm Sea] and easily put the southeast of the Kovarare Continent under the rule of the elves.
Nine thousand years ago (-9000) before history, an apocalyptic disaster befell the continent of Kovaré, the world fell into chaos, more than 4,000 years of historical materials were lost, and finally five thousand years ago (-5000) before history, the ancient goblin empire with a history of tens of thousands of years on the continent of Kovaré finally fell apart and was destroyed, and the goblins withdrew from the stage of history.
It wasn't until more than 3,000 years ago (-3000) that humans officially landed in Kovaré and became a member of the Kovarare continent, and so far, it is only more than 5,000 years old (+2012).
More than 3,000 years ago, the Kovarare continent still belonged to some indigenous races, such as goblins, the territory ruled by the human landing, after the humans landed in Kovare, the [Kovaré calendar] was officially used as the calendar year, and it took hundreds of years to build the five human kingdoms (Adele, Brulan, Kannas, Seren, and Cell) called [Five States] in later generations.
(Above: between [Kovaré - 3000] and [[Kovaré – 2500])
These five human states, in the course of hundreds of years of expansion, have allowed human footprints to travel all over the Kovarare Continent, seriously squeezing the living space of the goblins, orcs, barbarians, dwarves, elves and other indigenous races that have long settled on the Kovarray Continent, resulting in the outbreak of a tragic war known as the [War of the Races] in later generations.
In order to resist a large number of aboriginal races, the original five states then united to form the [Galifa Empire], and after hundreds of years of [war of tribes], they finally defeated the aboriginal race, and incorporated the entire Kovaré continent from the [Sea of Suffering] in the north, the [Storm Sea] in the south, the [Barren Sea] in the west, and the [Lazar Sea] in the east into the territory of the [Galifa Empire], successfully unifying the tribes.
(Above: between [Kovaré Calendar - 2500] and [Kovaré Calendar – 2000])
However, after less than a thousand years of peace and tranquility, the [Galifa Empire], which was united to defend against the indigenous races, (above: between [Kovaré Calendar - 2000] and [Kovaré Calendar - 1000])
The dark civil war that lasted for thousands of years and engulfed many races broke out again, and this period is known as the "Twilight Years".
(Above: Between [Twilight-1000] and [First Year of the Dawning Calendar])
Eventually, the original five states of the Galifa Empire signed the Throne Agreement at Fort Throne, officially re-dividing into the Five Kingdoms of Mankind and using the new [Dawning Calendar] as the calendar year.
However, the [Dawn Calendar] that the people who had been devastated by the war did not bring light to the Kovarare continent, but because of the division of the five major states, the original subjugated indigenous race of Kovare re-emerged, and once again unfolded a terrible disaster that was called the [End War] for nearly a thousand years.
(Above: between [the first year of the Auroracle] and [the year 1000 of the Auroracle])
The [End War], which lasted for nearly ten centuries, finally came to an end with the unanimous signing of the "Agreement on the Protection of Crown" by twelve stable and independent nations in the [New Throne Fortress], and these various countries and regions formed the current continent of Kovare!
