It was noon, and the sun was shining into the hotel room without hesitation. Tonk sat side by side with Wendy, his side in his hand, holding a sponge dipped in emerald green holy water, carefully smearing it on Wendy's face. According to the priest, this holy water works within ten minutes. Donk was convinced of this, as the investigation had learned that the results were the same.

The room is filled with a rich fragrance, similar to the fragrance of lilies.

During the long wait, Wendy didn't say a word, staring intently at the face in the vanity mirror, the scar that crossed over looked like a crack imprinted on the mirror.

Donk could understand Wendy's feelings, so he didn't bother, and after applying the holy water, he put his arm around his beloved wife's shoulders and waited quietly with her.

Time is like a trickle of sand in an hourglass, making people anxious.

"My face is starting to heat up!" Wendy said with a smile on her face, leaning forward, trying to see herself more truly in the mirror.

Donk smiled, and in this way, the heart disease that had been bothering Wendy could be lifted.

"The scars are starting to itch, those wounds are healing, and even falling off little by little! Donk, this holy water really works! Wendy reported the good news again and again, and showed a hearty smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, and she looked even more happy than when she was married.

Donk admires Wendy, who is gradually changing in the mirror, and after Wendy recovers to her original state, she is not inferior to Elizabeth in beauty.

"Thank you, dear." The scar on Wendy's face was gone, and she turned to her side, wrapped her arms around Donk's neck, and gave her a sweet kiss.

After this incident, Tang Ke did not leave the imperial city immediately, but stayed for a while.

During this time, Donk sent someone to secretly inquire into the whereabouts of the Resurrection Spring, and obtained some inaccurate information.

Although he can use the resurrection fountain in his body as a guide to find other resurrection fountains, this kind of guidance ignores distance, and if he follows the arrow, he may go all the way to the other side of the world. Therefore, we should not rely on the guidance of the Resurrection Spring, and it is more direct and effective to inquire about the news.

At the same time, the first nobles who tasted the charm of tobacco also came to the door one after another, asking for more tobacco. Tang Ke did bring some tobacco with him, but it was quickly divided up by the nobles.

When they learned that Donk was unable to supply tobacco in large quantities, the nobles were disappointed.

Just like fine wine, tobacco has a very attractive charm. The aristocrats said that they were addicted to smoking, and found it very imposing.

Seeing the reaction of the aristocracy, Donk became even more convinced of the future of tobacco.

Longchao Island has already reclaimed a considerable amount of farmland this year, and by next year, tobacco production will increase exponentially, which should be enough to supply the tobacco needs of the nobles of various countries. However, this amount of tobacco can only be supplied to the aristocracy, and the common people should not expect to enjoy it.

With such a scarce supply, those tobaccos will definitely be able to reach sky-high prices.

"Tobacco must have been taken out of Pandora's box, and the other two things that came out of it were wine and women." The man who spoke was a young nobleman of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, his name was Rose, and he was one of the nobles who had been captured by tobacco.

Rose is a fifth-order swordsman, and his father is an earl, and he is quite high in terms of strength and status. He was here today to beg for some tobacco.

In exchange for an ordinary little nobleman, Donk would directly refuse, but for the sake of Rose's status, he gave a little preferential treatment and gave Rose some tobacco.

"Then should we thank Pandora's Box?" Donk smoked a cigarette with Rose. Two young men dressed in seventeenth-century service sit and smoke across each other, and the scene is actually a bit nondescript.

"I should be grateful for it, without it, I would not be a nobleman." Rose laughed twice, then pointed to a cardboard box on the table, "Viscount, these tobaccos are not enough for me to smoke, can't you give me some more?" ”

Tang Ke shrugged and said, "What you have in your hand is already my last inventory." ”

"Didn't you save some for yourself?" Rose's eyes narrowed, and he smiled evilly.

"Isn't it? You won't even let go of my cigarette? ”

"Hehe, you can make an offer."

"No need to talk."

"How about a thousand gold coins?"

Donke's eyes widened, this Ross really doesn't treat money as money, and his mouth is a thousand gold coins! He smiled bitterly: "Don't embarrass me. The tobacco I have left is not worth a thousand gold coins, but I will never sell it. ”

"Money can't work? So how about this. Ross smacked a delicate dagger on the table, the purple gem inlaid in the sheath of the dagger, shining with dazzling light, and it was not ordinary at first glance.

Tang Ke used the investigation technique, and it was a high-quality dagger, although it had no effect, it was worth more than 3,000 gold coins. He smiled dumbly and said, "It seems that you are hard-hearted." Forget it, I'll give you the rest of the tobacco, it's a big deal that I won't smoke it myself. But I won't ask for this dagger. ”

Rose looked greedy, and said hurriedly: "Do you want to do whatever you want, what about your tobacco?" Give it all to me. ”

Donk didn't pay attention to the high-quality dagger, but he saw the great attraction of tobacco, and his heart was quite happy. He went back to the room and put the last bit of tobacco into the bag, and then returned to the previous room, threw the bag of tobacco on the table, and said with a smile: "I am willing to exchange a high-quality dagger for tobacco, I really obey you." ”

Ross picked up the bag, opened it, took a deep breath, and said disapprerovitously: "That kind of dagger, I can go to my father's warehouse at any time to get it, and I can have as many as I want." ”

Tang Ke didn't have much liking or dislike for this kind of boy, so he didn't comment, and smoked another cigarette with him.

After Rose snuffed out the cigarette butt, he suddenly remembered something, raised his eyes and asked, "It is rumored that you are a sixth-order swordsman outside, is it true or false?" ”

Thinking that Rose wanted to fight a few hands, Donk smiled and asked, "You want to try?" ”

Rose waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that, I asked you this question for another reason. I learned from my father that the queen was gathering masters, and the minimum requirements were all fifth-order swordsmen, and a total of five people were needed. The five-person team is going to Lava Island to complete a mission. My dad said this was an opportunity to hone me, and he had already signed up for me, so if you were interested, you could come with me. It will be a lot more interesting to have you on this trip. ”

Lava Island, located near the Greenland Empire, is a volcanic island and an active volcano that is steaming all year round. The island has no inhabitants, and is inhabited only by a small number of magical creatures that are resistant to heat. The island is extremely dangerous, and there have been many adventurers who have gone to explore it, but only a small number of people have returned alive, and all those who have penetrated into the island have disappeared. If you only move on the surface of the outer surface of the island, it is safe, but if you enter the caves on the island, you will definitely die.

Enterprising but unwilling to die for the Greenland Empire, he said with little interest: "I have important things to do, and I can't go." ”

Ross didn't show much disappointment, got up and said, "Then there is no way. Thank you for the tobacco, I take my leave. ”

"I'll send you out." Donk also stood up.

The two went out of the house together, and the waiters of the inn bowed when they saw it. Donk thought about the Greenland Empire's move as he walked: "Lava Island is so dangerous, why does the queen gather strong people to explore there?" She would do it, because there was something worth risking within. Lava Island is full of fire...... Fire...... Could it be the Fountain of Fire? ”

"Wait!" Like a rabbit with its tail stepped on, Donk almost jumped.

"What's wrong?" Roston stopped.

Donk quickly replied, "I suddenly changed my mind and became a little interested in this trip to Lava Island, can you tell me more about it?" ”

…… In one of the palace's meeting rooms, a large chandelier on the ceiling reflects the bright light, and a cool breeze blows in the open windows. Near the wall, stands a shelf with a stack of closed drawings.

There were only five people in the room, and Donk was one of them, along with four other conscripts, including Rose.

Donk didn't get much information about the trip from Rose, who knew very little about it. The only thing that can be determined now is that the mission's destination is on the treacherous lava island.

Even if there was only one clue, Donk couldn't let it go.

The Seven Springs will be born in the corresponding places, and the Fountain of Fire will only be born in extremely hot places, so the possibility of being born on Lava Island is very large.

If the mission had nothing to do with the Fountain of Fire, Donk would have found a reason to quit, but if he was really looking for the Fountain of Fire, he would have to bite the bullet.

Once the Fountain of Resurrection falls into the hands of the Empire, it will be difficult to get it again, and you must get the Fountain of Fire one step ahead of the Empire.

Donk thought about it so much that he didn't even blink at him.

In addition to Donk and Rose, the other three recruits were also amazing guys. At the head of the group was a Greenland admiral named Hannibal, a seventh-order druid, known as a salamander. The other two are Nanni, a fifth-order priest, and Aru, a fifth-order archer.

Unlike Donk and Rus, the other three were all members of the military and loyal to the Greenland Empire.

The carved door was pushed open, and the five queens who had been waiting for a long time entered, followed by the four knights. The five people in the room knelt down to salute, and the queen nodded, walked to the front of the wall, omitted polite words, and said straight to the point: "Warriors of the Empire, I admire your courage in sacrificing your life, and the Empire will be proud of you." I will always remember your contribution to the Empire. ”

"That's what we're supposed to do." Hannibal bowed slightly, a man of about fifty years old who wore green armor and had a large tree family crest tattooed on his left chest.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Holy Lord will bless us with a safe and unharmed trip." Nanni is not too young, but it can still be vaguely seen that she was a beauty when she was young, otherwise she would not have received the title of "Pure White Holy Hand".

Aru was a stuffy jar and rarely spoke, but judging from his solemn expression, he was very respectful of the queen.

Neither Donk nor Rose patted on the back, and stood silently in place.

Isabel glanced at the faces of the five warriors, and when she saw Donk, she paid attention for a few more seconds, and she was probably surprised that Donk would be involved. Because Donk had only just joined the Greenland Empire, the trip was not worth venturing to Lava Island, despite the great rewards of the trip.

Donk looked the queen in the eye, tried his best to composure, and smiled a friendly smile.

The queen retracted her gaze and said aloud, "You must have realized that you can gather here. I won't say much about the dangers of this trip. Now, I will tell you the purpose of this mission. Before the queen could speak, the knight on one side had already opened the drawings, one with two drawings on it, one was a map of the island, and the other was a large fiery red monster.

Donk's heart skipped a few beats, his eyes fixed on the red monster on the painting, he might have really been right this time.

"Here's a map of Lava Island. And this is what the Fountain of Fire looks like. A few days ago, a fishing boat passed by Lava Island, and the fishermen saw traces of the Fountain of Fire on board. The Fountain of Fire danced in the sky for a few moments, then entered the crater of the lava island. The queen continued to explain, raising her well-maintained hands and pointing to the two pictures.

Sure enough, it's the Fountain of Fire!

Tang Ke put his right hand behind his back and clenched it violently, his bones faintly white. He knew all about the Fountain of Resurrection, and the rumored appearance of the Fountain of Fire was a fiery red monster, which is why he was so excited to see that picture.

The Fountain of Fire's biggest feature is that it has a spirit surname, just like a real beast, it knows how to think for itself, and it will also take the initiative to attack those who approach. The Fountain of Fire is extremely destructive, and it has burned to death an eighth-order powerhouse in history.

If it was one-on-one, Donk had no chance of winning against the Fountain of Fire, and because of this, he didn't plan to collect the Fountain of Fire alone. Thinking of this, his excitement decreased a lot, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head.

The people present did not notice Tang Ke's strange appearance and continued to talk.

Rose raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "What is the Fountain of Fire?" ”

The queen replied briefly: "The Fountain of Fire is one of the fountains of resurrection. The Resurrection Fountain has the effect of resurrecting the dead, but it is useless to collect all seven realms. As long as there is a complete fountain of resurrection, no matter how long the person has been dead, as long as there is a part of the body that can be resurrected. ”

"Ahh I have a little impression that I've seen it in some treasure book. ”

Hannibal, who was rigid, glared at Ross and said in a loud voice: "You just need to listen to the queen obediently, if there is anything you don't understand, I will tell you later." ”

Rose smiled wryly, shrugged, and said, "Okay, I'll shut up right away." ”

"It is very difficult to gather all the seven resurrection springs, and now is a tense time, and I have no intention of spending national energy in this area. However, I heard a while ago that the Dragon's Tooth Country is vigorously looking for the Resurrection Spring, and it is estimated that other countries are also interested in the Resurrection Spring. If they resurrect the first-class powerhouses of the ancient times, they will pose a threat to us. So, even though I don't plan to gather the Resurrection Fountain, I have to try to stop them from doing anything. As long as we can obtain a resurrection spring, we can make the plan of the resurrection spring for others to come to naught. ”

The Queen's worried expression showed that the Resurrection Fountain was putting a lot of pressure on her.

If a certain country resurrects a tenth-order powerhouse, it will have a very terrible impact on the situation of the five countries.

It is precisely because this matter is not trivial that it has been kept secret from the outside world, and it was not until this time that the applicants were fully revealed.

"Your mission this time is to go to Lava Island to find out about the Fountain of Fire and confirm whether the information provided by the fishermen is true. Because lava islands are extremely dangerous, you don't need to go deeper, just stay outside the island and observe. Once you've confirmed that the Fountain of Fire is indeed on Lava Island, we'll move on to the next step, and I'll send more people over there. ”

As soon as the queen's voice fell, Hannibal asked, "If the Fountain of Fire flies out of the volcano again, are we going to collect it?" ”

"The Fountain of Fire is self-conscious and extremely destructive, Admiral Hannibal, are you confident that you can take the Fountain of Fire into your pocket?"

Hannibal clenched his fist and replied in a deep voice, "Yes! I will live up to Your Majesty's mission! ”

Isabel stared at the old admiral for a few moments, nodded and said, "Well, if the Fountain of Fire rushes out of the volcano again, you can work together to defeat the Fountain of Fire, and then serve it in a vessel." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into a tense silence. Everyone present had some understanding of the destructive power of the Fountain of Fire. With the combat effectiveness of these five people, the odds of victory are only about seventy percent, and they are not foolproof.

The queen seemed to sense everyone's concerns: "If you plan to fight the Fountain of Fire, you obviously don't have enough manpower, and I will send more people to your team." ”

Donk couldn't be happier when he heard such a suggestion, the more masters he had, the harder it would be for him to fish in troubled waters, and the lower the probability of getting the Fountain of Fire. His brow couldn't help but lock up.

"Can I make an opinion?" Rose asked with a wry smile and raised his hand, he still couldn't choose to be silent.

The queen said briskly, "Of course." ”

"If that Fountain of Fire stays in the volcano and refuses to come out, will we have to stay on Lava Island indefinitely?"

Hannibal stiffened his face and replied, "Of course. If you don't want to, you can quit now. ”

"Admiral Hannibal, please don't discourage young people like this." The Queen looked at Rose kindly, "I hope you can endure this arduous task." ”

"Don't worry, I'm just asking, I can still eat this bit of suffering." Rose nodded.

Donk knew that Rose was forced to join by his father, and in fact he was a hundred unwilling.

"Do you have any questions?" Isabel's question was answered in silence as she looked at Donk, "You've just taken office, and I don't want you to get involved in such a dangerous mission. You're not in the same situation as Rose, and I definitely don't blame you if you give up now. ”

"Your Majesty has been overwhelmed, and I am willing to join this team of warriors to overcome obstacles for the Greenland Empire." Donk calmly showed loyalty.

"Well, that's it. You'll leave for Victoria Harbour tomorrow and take the Mercury to Lava Island. This 'Mercury' has the power of the water element, which is very suitable for this mission, and if the Fountain of Fire appears, it will definitely be of great help. ”

"Yes." The five recruits responded in unison.

While Tang Ke was bowing his head, he was muttering in his heart: "It's too difficult to get this Fountain of Fire, the Fountain of Fire alone is not something I can deal with, plus there are so many masters to snatch it, I can't turn against them, and the place I want to go is the mysterious lava island." Damn, this thing is too tricky! ”
