Cold, damp, and glacial ballast on the green grass, this is what the Fenzel marshes look like. … ≦ top novel,

Although everything he could think of was ready, Jiang Li still complained. He had been teleported here, but he didn't dare open the portal and go back to prepare again. This mission was just one chance, and he didn't know if the mission would be a failure if he used the portal.

Jiang Li tried to contact the others, but there was no news, and the system warned him that if he went offline, his body would still stay here.

The most unfortunate thing is that his dark cavalry squad has also been sealed, and the only one who can accompany him to relieve his boredom is Black Tan. Fortunately, the hippopotamus form of black charcoal can still be mixed very well in the swamp area, but it leaves Jiang Li with a lot of body lì.

For a whole day, Jiang Li spent the whole day in a hurry, and the task gave a hint of the destination, marking a small red dot on the map that was completely obscured by the black curtain. Fortunately, Jiang Li's is rich enough to determine his location with the small hints given on the map, and if he changes to others, he would have been lost a long time ago.

"I said black charcoal, it's not a matter for us to go on like this, it's dark this day, we can only camp today, what should we eat at night, how about carrot soup?" Jiang Li was bored and began to chat with Hei Tan, in his opinion, it was more reliable than talking to himself.

Black Tan half-turned his head to glance at Jiang Li, then opened his mouth wide and yawned, obviously not interested in the recipe proposed by Jiang Li.

"Okay, okay. Prepare a spar for you, do you know how many carrots you can exchange for a spar? ”

Jiang Li began to look around, looking for a place to camp, and he had to find a relatively dry piece of ground before the sky was completely dark. Strange to say, he hadn't seen the sun since he came here, the sky had always been gray, and the brightness changed slowly.

In the mist, a building could be faintly seen. Compared with the map but there was nothing to show, Jiang Li smiled and turned the head of the black charcoal horse, and carefully moved in which direction.

It took nearly half an hour for Jiang Li to come to the door of the hut, which was a simple building made of gravel and mud, the roof and door were made of dead wood, there were no windows, and it looked unusually simple.

Jiang Li pushed the door and found that it was locked. He first took the black charcoal back into the pet space, and then knocked on the door.

"There was a knock on the door. You go check it out. "The wooden door is very simple, although there are no holes, but it is not soundproof, and Jiang Li can hear the sound of speech inside.

The door was opened by an orc with white hair on his ears, in such a cold environment, he was only wearing a simple single clothes, and the muscles on his body held the hairy skin tightly, looking particularly strong.

"Grandpa, it's a human." Dahan did not let the road open. Just shouted casually.

"Gruul, you're so rude to let people in."

Guru scratched his head and took a step back. Turn around and go back. Only then did Jiang Li see the situation in the house clearly, this stone house was not small from the outside, but the space inside was very narrow. The furnishings of the room are very simple, and there is a wooden chair that looks like a bench near the innermost part. An old-looking human was lying on it. The chairs are also covered with thick leather. Looks like it's the Guru's place.

On the innermost wall was a strange stove that looked like a fireplace, but much larger. In addition, the stove is protruding from the wall, and the position of the furnace is also very high, which looks more like an iron furnace. On the side of the stove there was a pitch-black stone pier, square, I don't know what it was for.

"I'm sorry to bother you with your rest." Jiang Li spoke very politely, closed the wooden door with his hand, and blocked it with the stone placed next to it.

"Young people don't need to be polite, this is originally a rest house for people who are in a hurry." The old man's voice was weak, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"Then thank you, old man." Jiang Li nodded in thanks, walked to the other corner of the room near the stove, and took out his sleeping bag and spread it on the ground. After a tired day, Jiang Li sat on his sleeping bag, ready to eat something.

"Space bag? Are you from Crane Castle? The humble Guru suddenly burst out and picked up a hammer from under his bed, looking like he was going to fight Jiang Li.

"Crane Castle? What's that? Jiang Li was stunned, and the jerky he wanted to give to Guru was held up in the air.

"Huh? Gruul don't be impulsive. The old man sat up slowly and looked at Jiang Li with interest.

"It seems that you are really not from Crane Castle, otherwise you wouldn't have said that it is a thing. And you don't seem to really know the existence of Crane Castle, so young man, who are you? How did you get here? ”

Jiang Li withdrew his arm and looked at Gu Lu, who was scratching his head again, and was speechless for a while, this orc's IQ should be considered not low, but the impulsive gene is left in his blood, and few orcs can control their temper.

"I'm from Fajar and I'm here on a mission. My name is Darkblade. Jiang Li had no choice but to make his way clear, he really didn't want to fight with the orcs in front of him, the simple creatures can always give people a good impression, Jiang Li has been a little fond of this simple orc since he entered the house.

"From Fajar? With this name, are you God's chosen one? The old man suddenly became excited, and these two questions were almost shouted.

"Ah, yes." Seeing the old man's excited appearance, Jiang Li secretly began to prepare for battle.

"There is only one Chosen One who has come here, and that is the successor of the Battle Mage." The old man forced himself to suppress his excitement and leaned against the wall behind him and gasped.

"Why?"

That's what the oracle said. Only the aborigines can enter and exit here, and the Chosen One who can enter is the Descendant of the Battle Mage with the Inheritance Mission. The Gruul replied angrily, and he used the hammer as a pillow for the new race of his mallet to the top of the bed.

The old man gasped for a while, regained his strength, and began to tell Jiang Li a story, and Jiang Li had a preliminary understanding of this special place under his feet.

Once upon a time, the Fenzel Marsh was much larger than it is now, and it was separated by several empires. In wartime, it is good to say that the swamp is a powerful barrier, and it is difficult for a large army to cross the swamp. In peacetime, however, it is troublesome, and if countries want to trade with each other, they have to take a detour, which is very inconvenient.

At that time, a relatively large chamber of commerce organized a large number of manpower to explore shortcuts through the swamp. After several years of hard work, he finally succeeded in finding a shortcut through the swamp, and with this trade route, the chamber of commerce quickly developed and became the leader of the business world at that time.

But the good times didn't last long, a group of orc bandits appeared in the swamp, and at the beginning, the Chamber of Commerce didn't care much about these orc thieves who were poorly equipped and not very numerous, they just strengthened the number of guards, and didn't do much else.

As the orcs looted more and more goods, they grew stronger. Eventually, they took control of an area in the swamp and completely controlled the trade route.

Naturally, the Chamber of Commerce would not just give up, and they spent a lot of money to hire warriors to start clearing the orcs in the swamp, and this battle was fought back and forth for five or six years. The Chamber of Commerce has spent countless dollars and is on the verge of collapse, and the Orcs have suffered heavy losses and their group has shrunk dramatically, but they still control the area, grabbing a lot of wealth from the caravans that have passed.

The Chamber of Commerce could not hold on any longer. In a last resort, they paid a lot of money to hire a mercenary group that was famous at the time, and the head of this mercenary group was Lukaya. In the process of clearing the orcs, Lukaya discovers a shocking secret. Enraged, he wrapped the area in a circle and built a town.

"What exactly did Luyaka find?" Jiang Li listened to the story while filling his stomach. He noticed that Gruul was always staring at the food in his hand, and he took the initiative to send a few pieces of jerky over, which was appreciated by Gruul. The Guru didn't take the jerky to himself. Instead, a piece of jerky was roasted until soft and delivered to the old man.

"I don't know, it should be related to Crane Castle, but we don't know what it is, I've been here for more than 30 years, and I know so much." The old man chewed the jerky slowly, looking tired from eating.

"Don't eat jerky, I've got a softer cake here." Jiang Li took out the cake and handed it to the old man, and then cared about him, "What's wrong with your body?" ”

"I was unlucky this time, I was discovered by the lizardmen guarding the mine, and I was lucky to come back alive." The old man's words had no beginning or end, but Jiang Li had already guessed a rough idea.

"What is it about the ore that makes you so nervous and risking it?"

"Mithril, the five-year blacksmith contest is about to begin, but the materials for our participation in the contest are not ready, so I had to take the Gruul out to look for ore, but I didn't expect to meet the lizardmen.

"Blacksmith Contest? How many blacksmiths can there be in a small town, and why hold a competition? "It is not difficult to estimate the size of the town from the old man's words, and this town is at best a town, or even a small town, and such a town is saturated with five or six blacksmith shops.

"Hehe, our town is different, more than seventy percent of the people living here are blacksmiths, and almost every family has a blacksmith." The old man was very satisfied with the cake Jiang Li gave him, and answered Jiang Li's question in detail.

"This swamp is an enclave, and it doesn't seem to be far from several countries, but it's very difficult to get out. We also have to live, and we need a lot of living materials. If you want to get these supplies, you can only trade with Crane Castle. And Crane Fort only collects ironware, and in order to survive, everyone has become blacksmiths. ”

Jiang Li was taken aback, tens of thousands of blacksmiths, how many weapons and equipment will be produced in this article. But the Crane Fort can be eaten all, how great is the power of this Crane Fort. Obviously, Crane Fort has a passage to communicate with the outside world, and this passage is the lifeline of everyone in the town. How much power does Crane Fort have to be able to ensure that this lifeline is in his own hands?

"The people here are so honest." Jiang Li subconsciously muttered, if it were him, he would definitely try his best to seize the teleportation channel, and the feeling of his fate being controlled by others was very uncomfortable.

"Honest? If that's what you think, I'd advise you not to go to town, you'll be eaten by them until there's nothing left. ”

The eyes of the old man who had recovered some strength flashed, and a sinister aura emanated from him. (To be continued......)
