Descending to the ground on the outer side of the Black Peak Tower, I looked back at the steep mountain wall, and suddenly realized that there was actually a mountain path just below the corner, winding to another cave not far from the ground. It's just that because the cave has long been sealed by rocks, it can't be noticed at all if you don't look closely. Maybe this is where the dwarves used to mine iron ore, but the road was blocked because of the threat of some demon, or maybe for some other reason. If it weren't for that, I believe there should be a road from inside the Black Peak Tower that would lead to this side, without having to come down like I did.

Open the map of the Fountain of Sorrow displayed in my realization, and it is the same as that of the Beast Spirit Mountain, indicating only the approximate location, which is the vicinity of where I am standing now. But where it is, I have to find out by myself.

From above, the hill is smooth and flat, but when you actually stand on it, it is not at all. Littered rocks and dirt littered everywhere, and many abandoned mine pits were hidden behind rocky mounds. The ground was littered with broken clay pots and bowls, rusty shovels, and old fences with only a few wooden stakes remaining. Occasionally, a few weeds stubbornly crept out of the cracks in the earth, but the poor ridge did not provide them with enough nutrients to grow, so they all became yellow and thin, as if they could be uprooted if the wind was stronger.

The land of decline, the name is really apt for such a place, everywhere is a barrenness. It seems to have been abandoned by the world.

The moving figures I had seen from above were now clearly standing in front of me. It was a group of sad miners' spirits, dwarven gray figures wandering aimlessly across the declining lands. They are also outcasts, perhaps with that nostalgia for their homeland in their hearts. and the lament of death.

A miner's spirit of around level 50 doesn't give me much experience, but it's very useful for practicing soul gathering. While searching the mine for the clues I needed, I asked a few treasures to lure the monsters over for me, and used our specially made intermediate soul staff to collect these undead who couldn't get the crossing ground.

Although the inside of the mine is pitch black, but listening to the echo can be seen that it is not deep, maybe it was filled in later, I searched for one or two dozen pits in a row, and finally met a mine near the edge of the mining area; It's also a sad miner's spirit. The diminutive body huddled in the corner of the mine, with a half-wooden-handled subway shovel and a broken spear stuck in the ground.

In any case, it's a good phenomenon to be able to meet NPCs, and you can always know some clues. I walked cautiously over it, and the glow of the Night Pearl in my hand seemed to startle the poor miner's spirit. He flinched, hurriedly shielding his eyes with his hands. But the gray, almost transparent hands didn't seem to do much to block the light, and he couldn't stop whimpering and screaming.

I put away the Night Pearl and walked over. Squatting down in front of the miner, he asked in a loud voice, "Hey, why are you here, how did the dwarves outside become like that." ”

There was no glare in his eyes around him, and the dwarven miner's spirit named Fili finally lowered his hands. He looked up slightly and looked at me carefully. Maybe it was the shadow and black behind me who put so much pressure on him that he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, just looked stupidly for a while, then buried his head deep in his knees, and continued to cry loudly. I turned my head and put all the pets away. After a few words of reassurance, Fili finally dared to raise his head and look at me.

"It was the worst day of my life......" Filly finally began to speak with a handful of snot and tears, telling me what had happened to him.

A black nightmarish mist erupted from the inside of the mine, causing everyone to panic. But it didn't take long for the black gas to disappear. We all thought there was nothing and continued our daily work, and at the same time, we were pleasantly surprised to see that the ore produced began to increase, and the quality was getting better and better. We've found a better vein, and the black gas may be the gas left in the vein. But soon after, someone noticed that several underground springs appeared in the vicinity, as if they had suddenly appeared, and the water was very sweet, as if it had been filled with honey. You know, working on the construction site, it is not easy to drink the clean and sweet spring water, without too much suspicion, all the workers in the mine drank it, and they are ready to transport the spring water to the city for everyone to enjoy. But before we could bring the spring water into the city, something was not quite right. All of them felt that there was a stone in their hearts pressed on their hearts, and they couldn't be happy, and even the jokes that usually made people laugh and tears were now empty and boring. Some people start crying at every turn, and they don't have the heart to work. Later, someone called the doctor in the city to come and see us......" Filly sobbed a few times, as if remembering something sad, and cried even more.

After a while, he choked up and continued, "They say that we are not sick, but cursed by magic, and that Quearella's claws have reached this mine. They wanted us to take up arms and fight ourselves, and we did that. But what is the end, they ...... They chose to block the road to the city and abandon us all. Later, there was a great battle here, and Quidillara and his minions attacked the mines, and each of us fought the monsters with our shovels and hammers. I also participated, but when I was fighting a small monster, a magician sneaked up on me from behind, and I fainted before I could see the magician's appearance...... Afterward...... That's what I did. They told me I was dead, but I didn't believe it. I can still speak, I can still move, and although I will never smile again, there will only be tears in my eyes, but if I have not seen my own body, I will not believe that I am dead. I'm going back to the city. I'm going to see my mother. ”

This was the end of the story, and I was prompted to find Filidi's body and bring it back to the mine. I asked the dwarven soul about the last place he was attacked by the magician, and he said, "I don't remember very well. But I remember there was a big blue bare rock. ”

That's easy, I just need to find the blue stone, and maybe I'll find Filly's body.

But things were not as simple as I thought, and I searched all the decayed places, and I did not spare every cave, but I did not see a single large stone that would shine, not even a blue color, and there were gray stones everywhere. with a messy mound. And the springs that Filly spoke of were not to be seen, and the ground was so dry that it looked like it had been a great drought for ten years.

After looking for a long time, I sat on the top of a mine cave and took out the dry food that Yunyun prepared for me, and prepared to fill my belly with the rain and dew tea I brought, but I was careless. The cup of Yulu tea fell to the ground, and the tea flowed down the edge of the mine. I didn't care, and took a new glass. Let's solve the problem of food and clothing first.

After eating and drinking, I jumped from the top of the mine, ready to continue searching for the blue stone that didn't seem to exist. Suddenly, I felt as if something wasn't quite right, how much that cup of rain and dew tea could have. How could it be possible to get the ground so wet. I looked at the cavern in front of me, and the ground seemed to be wetter than anywhere else, and it was a large area. There was no water seeping out of the surface, but compared to the dryness of the rest of the place, I concluded that there was something strange about it.

Taking out the Night Pearl, I felt my way into the mine. There are large and small rocks all around. Piled up in haphazard holes, like the other mines, the ground was littered with miners' tools and pots and pots.

By the way, Filly said that black air is coming out of the mines, so I should be looking for clues in the mines, not on the ground. The battle with monsters led me to the misconception that the Great War is always born in the open field. Since they had dug veins in this area, these caves should definitely not only be so shallow, but rather quite deep.

I took out the shovel from my backpack and gently tapped the rocks in the cave, and finally I saw a slight echo behind the stones in one direction, which indicated that there was another space behind the stones, maybe it was the former mine cave.

I suddenly came to my senses, wielding a golden shovel in my hands, and digging and chiseling at the echoing stone wall. It didn't take long for me to feel the stone beneath the shovel begin to loosen and loosen, and a faint blue light was faintly leaking through a few narrow cracks in the stone.

Haha, I finally found the blue stone, I was secretly happy in my heart, and my hand also accelerated the excavation, increased the force, and slashed a few times. I could hear a thud, and a black gas erupted from behind the stones, and the surrounding rocks were scattered by an invisible thrust, and I was almost smashed by the rocks.

Blue, will light...... This stone not only lightes, but also moves.

What kind of eyes is that Philip, this is a stone, but it is not only a stone, but also a level sixty stone element, different from the stone god of war summoned by the goblin Pierre, this is a stone element that knows how to cast stone missiles, and the stone missiles wrapped in black gas are quite like a black magic ball, no wonder Philip wants to say that he was attacked by a magician.

Before I could recover from the panic of the falling stones, the blue stone elemental stone missile was already flying towards my chest. The black aura wrapped around the missile, dragging a long, spinning tail that kept spinning, cutting a bullet mark in the air. Unlike the real magic ball, the stone missile is extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, I can already feel the powerful impact in front of me with the sound of the wind. Without thinking much about it, I flashed to the side with a stride, and the stone missile passed by, and the rock behind me was not so lucky. I could only hear a loud bang, countless small stone chips exploding in all directions, smoke and dust in the mine, and the crackling sound of small stones hitting the cloak from the back, was like hail.

Where is our style to be beaten passively and not fight back, take out the soul crossbow, and the golden pattern on the waist of the blue stone element is an arrow. As soon as the elemental arrow that burst out hit the blue stone element, I saw bursts of "water splash" from the stone elemental ground. Then, like a stone falling into a lake, it was silent, rippling out of the circle and spreading out. The blue light flashed, and the stone element was not damaged in the slightest. Instead, a silver light that was identical to my elemental arrow shot out of the stone's hand and shot at me in the same way.

Drink, this guy's elemental attack turned out to be ineffective, and it will also attack and rebound, and the elemental arrow we shot out is back intact. Hmph, elemental attacks are ineffective, it doesn't matter, then let's use a real melee combat assembly. My precious pets are all veterans, and I'm afraid I won't kill you.

Flashing the elemental arrow that bounced back, I replaced it with a dagger, and one of them circled behind the blue stone elemental, and raised my hand to stab it with a backstab and slash its throat, and the red and white sword light staggered and fell on its fatal point. Who made it so ambitious. The weakness is so obvious.

The ghostly figure of the little black ghost rushed in front of the stone elemental, scratching and biting; Shadow's scythe slashed at the blue stone, bursting with bright sparks and a sonorous metallic sound. Didn't wait for the other babies to come into battle. The stone elemental turned into a pile of shards, mixed with the gray broken stones.

I looked back at the big hole where the stone elemental appeared, it was not very deep, only some pale blue spring water gushed out from a small stone crack in the ground, and a familiar salty smell came to my nose. Ha ha. Fountain of Sorrow! It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. I pick, I pick, I pick......

Although I have collected the water of the four springs of sorrow, this is not the place I want to find. Those springs have no roots. I had only collected a little of it, and it had dried up, leaving a small stone pit on the ground. I reluctantly took out a golden shovel and dug hard at the stone pit for a while, but the spring water did not dig up, but let me find the white bones.

Well, this is most likely Fili's corpse, and we've completed a mission.

Looking at the pit where I could no longer dig anything, I picked up the skeleton and walked towards the cave where Fili was hiding.

No! I don't believe it!" Fili the dwarf cried out loudly as he cried out to him, "You lie to me, you lie to me!" I'm not dead, I'm not dead!"

I suddenly noticed that Filly's left hand was missing a little finger, and the skeleton had the same defect, which meant that we should be not mistaken, that white bone was indeed Filly's corpse, no matter how much he did not admit it, he could not deny this fact.

Sure enough, after a while, Fili's soul stopped crying unreasonably, slowly raised the left hand of the white bone, tears fell straight down, and whispered: "Yes, you are not wrong, this is indeed my corpse, I am really dead." He slowly walked up to me, reluctantly looked back at his body that had turned into bones, raised his head and said, "Since I know that I am dead, then I don't want to stay here any longer." I don't want to be like those guys out there, please, good human, bury my body next to the sealed intersection of the Black Peak Tower, and I want my soul to cross that passage back to my original home. With that, he took two steps back and stood on the white bone, his body beginning to become more and more transparent.

As if suddenly he remembered something, he said to me, "The demons of Queara came out of those springs, there are seven springs, find them, and destroy them." This is my last wish before I die. Thank you, human. ”

After saying that, his soul body completely disappeared in front of me, and the white bones flashed brightly, and they returned to their original form.

It's burying the dead again, why did I find two springs in a row, both of which are related to burial, and we are all professional gravediggers.

Yes, let's do the task, anyway, the sealed passage is not far from here, and it won't take much effort. Picking up Philip's bones again, I headed towards the foot of Mount Blackpeak.

Since he wanted his soul to return to his home, it was better to get as close to the path as possible. I walked along the path to the sealed passage and took out my shovel and dug a small hole. I didn't expect to dig this dig, and I dug out a box.

The rusty gray tin box was clearly old, and a line of small letters could be seen on it: "To my favorite son, Fili." The inscription is "Love your father".

I opened the box and saw that there was a mining shovel inside, and a small note that read: "When my father gave me this shovel, I knew that he wanted me to be the best miner in Heifeng Tower, or even in the world, just like him." I'm not eligible to use it right now, but I've already qualified to enter the mine. One day, I will use this shovel left to me by my father to dig up the most beautiful gem in the world. ”

It seems that this should have been placed in the box when Filly buried it during his lifetime, but his wish could never be fulfilled. He specifically asked me to bury his bones here, because he wanted to bury them with this shovel. I was momentarily curious, and picked up the black, inconspicuous shovel and looked at it. Unexpectedly, under this look, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, and I was reluctant to let go.
