Chapter Ninety-Five: The Earthquake
The leyline corridor was filled with steel shield employees who were rapidly advancing towards the ice ladder. Since the discovery of the leyline corridor, the three major guilds have not experienced this kind of thing that requires the people in the camp to be transferred to the monster forest in a short period of time, so there is no corresponding emergency filing, and now they can only maintain the form of a team.
Vince and Jolson flew low in the air with their hooks, and since the two were a bit overweight together, they were gliding almost all the way around the scalps of the others. Everywhere they passed, there were voices of exclamation and whining.
"Why are those two Fengxing flying so low?!, my hair is messed up!" a female steel shield employee angrily straightened her messy hairstyle, and accused aggrievedly.
"They don't seem to be in the air, they move by a hook in their hands. Don't say it, it's pretty cool......" The female employee's companion exclaimed with a little envy as she saw the two people flying by.
"Hmph!
......
"Was it the boy from Jolson who flew over just now?"
"It's him, and there's another person, who is also our steel shield. ”
"Alas, after so many years, Jolson has finally realized his dream of finding a rich woman......"
"Rich woman?!Isn't the guy who was holding him just now a man?!"
"I didn't expect this kid's life to be so stressful......"
"Alas......"
......
Jolson in the air could not hear the chatter on the ground, he was immersed in the joy of flying!
"Wow!!Vins, your equipment is too powerful!!Who will envy Fengxing in the future?!Everyone can fly!!Do you have any extra money?I'll buy it as much as I want!!
Obviously it was just a low-altitude glide, but this person was as happy as a child...... Vince habitually showed a smirk and said, "Hey, what a pity, I don't have anything to spare!"
Jorsen's excited expression suddenly collapsed, but soon he changed to a smile on his face and said eagerly: "It's okay, then you can fly with me for a while!!"
My spirit can bear it......
Thinking so, Vins said, "Okay, but let's rest for a while, and then fly!"
With that, Vince stopped at a tree and lowered Jolson down.
With the sword of unknown origin on his body, Vince had to be more cautious in this regard, and he checked his remaining psionic energy every moment to avoid a depletion.
In the Leyline Corridor and the Demon Mist Forest, weakness in every sense magnifies the possibility of mutation.
Jolson was easily carried by Vince all the way, and at this time he was standing on the tree with great dignity, looking down at the bustling flow of people below.
"Vins," the excitement of flying had not yet faded, and Jolson had a flush of excitement on his face, "It's been my dream since I was a child to become a popular walker, but it's a pity that I turned to the path of the Grand Magus when I was promoted to a four-star level. Today I finally fulfilled my dream of flying!"
Vins's heart moved, the engraving of the four gods will undergo some changes when they are promoted from three stars to four stars, and what genres such as Ice Freezer and Fengxing are all derived from the original path. But there are very few such powerhouses around him, and he has never had the opportunity to understand what the opportunity for this genre transformation is. Now seems like a good opportunity to ask.
"Then why don't you become popular? Are there any restrictions here?"
"Huh, don't you know?" Jolson looked surprised, "no one in your family taught you this?"
Family?Vins instantly understood what Jolson meant, the other party has always regarded himself as a boy with a background! It is no wonder that in the process of being an employee of the three major guilds, he can keep three weapons that are meaningful to himself, such a person is either a strong man or a rich man!
"Jolson you misunderstood," Wens hurriedly explained with a smile: "I'm just an ordinary hunting assistant, I don't have any family background, and I usually can't even touch a few strong people on the stage, so naturally I don't know these things." ”
Jolson stared at Vins suspiciously, until he saw that Vins was covered in goosebumps!
"Don't look at it!
Jolson touched his chin a little strangely and said, "That's really weird, I think your knife is worth a few gold crowns, to say the least." You're a stunned young man with no background and no strength to wander around with it, and you haven't been robbed yet?"
"Good luck...... Good luck...... Isn't this a monster removal plan? I can't take out the bottom of the box to save my life?"
Jolson thought for a moment, nodded, and accepted Vins's statement, and then he explained to Vins: "Everyone faces the risk of a change in the soul mark when they are three to four stars, but as long as you don't think about it, this change will not make you change. This change seems to be random so far known, like my Wind Elemental Mage, who is either Windrun or Wind-based Archmage. ”
Wens nodded thoughtfully and said, "With a one-in-two probability, it's a pity that you didn't become popular." ”
Jolson also sighed regretfully, and said: "It has always been said that if you want to become the genre you want, you have to work hard to practice the corresponding natural abilities.
"Corresponding innate abilities?"
"That's right! If you want to become a wind walker, you must be very proficient in controlling the wind on the surface of the body, so you need to practice the innate ability of the wind blade more. I heard that I have been studying hard since then, and I can practice the wind blade five times a second, and I still become an archmage!"
Jolson shrugged his shoulders helplessly, his frustration palpable.
Vins said a little amusedly, "Can you control the wind on the surface of the body very skillfully? Could it be that the Grand Magus is controlling the flow of wind in his body?"
Jolson glanced at Vins and said with emotion: "Young! You're still too young! How can you cheat money? When I paid the tuition for this class, people told me that the wind is from the wind on the surface of the body to the wind of the outside world, and the great magister is from the wind of the outside world to the wind of the body, and the two are the same way. ”
Jolson snorted indignantly, and then said: "I was also young back then! I was actually deceived by those gods like this! I also bought several copies of "A Shallow Theory of the Wind Blade" and "The Only Way to Travel." I'm really ......."
At the end, Jolson almost burst into a foul mouth.
Vince laughed out loud without sympathy, causing Jolson to roll his eyes again.
"Alright, let's stop talking nonsense, let's go! All the time saved by hurrying with the hook is wasted on chatting!"
At the mention of departure, Jolsson's expression became excited again, and the unhappiness and shadow of recalling the childhood tragedy just now were instantly forgotten.
Wens sighed softly in his heart, this person really wants to be popular, but what can he become?
Half warrior engraving, half unknown engraving, what exactly does this symbolize......
Shaking his head and throwing away all these nonsense, Vince picked up Jolson and yelled, "Go!"
"Wow!!"
Jolson in Vins's arms let out an exaggerated exclamation of excitement!
......
Along the road that was trampled out, there were gradually more people, and even a little crowded. Other colors are gradually taking on in the uniform of the sky-blue steel shield - Darkmoon and Risak are among them, but Darkmoon is only a minority.
It seems that Joel and their side have successfully completed the task, even a little faster than Vins, after all, it seems that most of the people who remain on the second floor are still in steel shield uniforms.
Stopping and stopping along the way, Vince and Jolson passed the covered bridge without incident. Vince thought about it carefully, because he had to move with two people, the consumption of psionic energy was too exaggerated. The two of them had been resting longer than flying, so it was better to walk over directly......
"Jolsen, which ice ladder are we going to?"
After crossing the covered bridge, the first thing Vins did was to quickly put Jolson down, although this person was thin and small, but just holding it all the way, Vins's body was still a little unbearable.
"Which ice ladder do you take......
Jolson was asked by Vince, and he couldn't help but think about it.
Since the six ice ladders were installed in different locations in the leyline cloister, and there were even cases where the direction was completely opposite, they needed to set their goals at the beginning.
"There it is!" Jolson had a gleam in his eyes, "Let's go to your guild's ice ladder!"
Vins was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "We both wear steel shield uniforms, why do we want to go to our guild's ice ladder?"
His intention was for Jolson to pick one of the two ice ladders of the steel shield.
Jolson laughed and said, "Think about it, Vins. The people of your guild must have set off in advance, and it is very likely that the ice ladder is already idle at this time, so we can take it right away, but the steel shield, the large army is all in front of us, and there must be a sea of people next to the ice ladder now, and it is estimated that there are still a few greedy people who take the opportunity to take people to fly up directly...... Hmph, if only I were a popular person......"
This person's obsession with the wind is really deep......
Vins wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said, "But what if the duty officer of Dark Moon sees the uniforms of the two of us, what if he doesn't let him go?"
Jolson frowned and said, "That's really a problem...... Do you have anything to prove your identity? It would be much easier if he approved of you. ”
Vince was about to blurt out "no", but suddenly remembered that he had just gotten such an item.
"This should be fine......
Vince fumbled in his pocket for a moment and pulled out the Darkmoon Gold Coins.
The Darkmoon Gold Coin was taken out and the flash of light pierced Jorsen's eyes couldn't help but smile, he looked at the Darkmoon Gold Coins, and then at Vins's young, even a little immature face, and said earnestly:
"You're yours, Vins. ”
Vins was furious when he was looked at, but he was too embarrassed to explain anything, and hurriedly said, "Then let's do it, let's go to the ice ladder of the dark moon." Jolsen, where are we going?"
Jolson pointed in a direction, and Vins strode over.
"Hey!!Don't you need a hook?!"
"Hurry up!
Vins ignored the request of his companion behind him and fled.
......
Fifteen minutes later, the two of them, running out of breath, finally reached the location of one of the ice ladders in Darkmoon.
"Jorsen, why didn't you tell me...... There are so many smart people in your guild?!"
Instead of a giant ice ladder, Vince was greeted by a sea of sky-blue uniforms. There are steel shield employees crowded everywhere, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is crowded. Darkmoon and Riesak have employees, but only a few.
Jolson stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and one of his mouths turned into an "O" shape.
"Let's go to our own ice ladder now, is it too late......"
"Forget it, the time to walk over is estimated to be about the same as queuing, let's save some effort......"
And just like that, the two men were at the end of the long line.
"Hey, brothers, the five-star is popular and cheap! Experienced, a century-old shop! Countless trips have never had an accident!
"My good brothers, you can't buy a loss or be fooled! If you enter the Demon Mist Forest one minute earlier, you will join the Becrond interception program one minute earlier! This is a great time for my generation to prove yourself and make a name for yourself, how can you lose to others at the starting line? Come on, as long as you have five silver nar, the five-star wind will take you fly!!"
As soon as Jolson and Vince were in line, they heard someone shouting very loudly in the distance, which was exactly what Jolson said was about wanting to make a fortune.
The person who sold was obviously at least twenty or thirty meters away from Wens, but Wens could still hear his every word clearly, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This person's voice is really loud......"
"Where?" Jolson shook his head and said disdainfully, "It's clear that there is a wind archmage who is secretly helping him, there are so many people here, there is noise everywhere, no matter how good his voice is, there is no way for us to hear it from such a distance." This team is a bit powerful, Fengxing, the wind system archmage has all of them, and it is estimated that the business of this ice ladder has been fully covered by them. ”
When Vince saw the young man who was constantly being energetic coming out of the line and talking to the man who was selling it, he asked Jorson, "Are you steel shield people so psychologically strong, are you really not afraid to go to the Demon Mist Forest naked?"
Jolson glanced at Vins with disdain and said, "What are you thinking?!" That person dares to do this business, there must be a way to protect the customer's clothes...... It's a shame that you're thinking about it!"
Vins suddenly remembered the thin film of water on the two of them when Moric took him out of the leyline corridor. It was thanks to that layer of water that Vince was able to return to Caryton with dignity.
In order to save face, Wen Si pretended to know very well and said with a smile: "That layer of water film is really convenient. ”
"Water film?" Jolson glanced at Vins again in confusion, "They usually use the Ice Freezer to make a closed ice box to take people out, and they wear special clothes that are resistant to heat to maintain their mobility. ”
"......" Wins completely shut up, and his evaluation of Moric in his heart went to a new level.
The team moved forward slowly, and some people couldn't bear to wait for a long time, and left the team to find the person who had just been selling.
Vince even had the illusion in his mind that the team had not advanced all this time, but someone had just left the team to find Fengxing to take two steps forward.
"Why don't we get in touch too? Vince, who was a little anxious, asked Jolson tentatively.
It should be the one who is the most afraid of Bekronde among these people, and at this juncture, Vince somehow has a trace of excitement and anxiety.
Jolson turned to Vince with an expressionless face and asked, "You have ten silver narls?"
“...... No. "Ten silver narls is a lot of money in terms of Wins's salary, who would go out with that much money?
Jolson smiled with relief and said, "That's good, I don't have either." ”
“......”
The two poor ghosts whistled and began to look left and right, stealing glances at the beautiful female employees to pass the time......
"Next batch!!"
Vins couldn't say how much time had passed, anyway, until the female employees who looked quite good-looking couldn't stand it a little bit, and when they glanced at the two of them, it was finally their turn.
"It's not as long as Elmer," "Look, who's going to look at you with my Elmer!"
After going through so many life-and-death situations, at this moment, Wince recalled that afternoon, Elmer's beauty was so delicate that it seemed to be carved, and his heart still couldn't help but pound. The slightest charm between Elmer's eyebrows when he and he met each other at close range, as well as the scent of orchids, made him now just want to send Berlon away happily, go home and hug Elmer to talk about the unbelievable things in the past two days.
Elmer's soft waist must be very comfortable to hold...... Vince suddenly smirked stupidly, completely unaware that he and Elmer were not even sure of their relationship.
"What kind of are you doing?!! Jolson took two steps and turned back to see the figure of Vince, and immediately turned back to find someone. At a glance, he saw Vins who was smiling like a pervert, and he couldn't help but slap Vins in the head!
"Smack!"
A slap slapped Vince back from his daydream to reality, and then Vince came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Ah!!It's our turn!!Go, go!"
With that, he pulled up a disgusted Jolson and went straight to the ice ladder.
The two of them strode through the waiting crowd and rushed to the door of the duty room. The ice ladder hadn't descended from the Demon Mist Forest yet, and there were about twenty or thirty people waiting in a neat line with them.
"Big brother, this is the person who was traveling with me, and I didn't pay attention to it just now. Jolson arrived at the door of the duty room and immediately put on a smiling face and explained to the Darkmoon employee who was maintaining order.
The Darkmoon employee nodded, didn't say anything more, and continued to look at each of the steel shield employees with a serious expression.
Vince looked around and frowned a little uneasily, there were only three people guarding such an important means of transportation as the ice ladder at such a special moment. Two are outside to maintain order, and one is in the duty room to operate the ice slide.
When the employee was far away, Vince whispered in Jorson's ear, "Why are there only three people guarding the ice ladder, aren't they afraid of accidents?"
Becrond could appear at any time, and with its sheer size, there was probably a big earthquake in the leyline corridor. When the panic erupted, Vince was a little worried about the safety of the three officers on duty.
Jolson glanced at Vins again in astonishment, this person brought him a little more surprise today, "You don't know the Darkmoon employee who just spoke to me?"
"I don't know. Vince shook his head honestly.
Jolson covered his face in despair and said, "Brother, you are all people with Darkmoon Gold Coins, but you can have a snack! That person just now is Daemon Criss, your Darkmoon's ace employee, and there is a legend that he has broken through from the six-star peak to the seven-star! Think about it, brother, that's a seven-star fire archmage, and our group of people together is not enough for him to fight!"
"It doesn't add up enough for him to beat a ......," Wins shuddered as he savored the words, and continued, "Do you know the other two?"
The opportunity is rare, and Vins also wants to get to know more of the senior leaders of his guild.
Jolson shook his head stupidly and said, "I'm not from you Dark Moon, how can I know so clearly? But how weak can the guy who can work with the ace employee be?
Vins nodded, remembering the faces of the remaining two in his mind.
After a while, the ice ladder was lowered.
"Line up and enter in an orderly manner!"
Ace employee Daemon Criss stood at the door of the ice ladder like a tour guide, directing the crowd to enter the ice ladder one after another. Everyone else walked in chirping, and Vince and Jorsen, who knew the identity of the temporary "tour guide" in front of them, were as silent as cicadas, and they didn't even dare to come out when they passed each other's side.
Entering the ice ladder, the door gradually closed, leaving only the faint glow of the limestone illuminating the nearly thirty silent Steel Shield employees.
Vince turned his head to look at Jolson and found that the other party's eyes were full of little stars, and he looked extremely excited!
"Sooner or later, I will also become our Steelshield's ace employee!"
Jolson whispered in Vins' ear, for fear of being heard by the people next to him.
Vins nodded in understanding, and the Steelshield employee, who had heard a little next to him, looked at Jolson with a very complicated look.
Thankfully, Jorsen, who was daydreaming, didn't notice this.
"Squeak!!"
The sound of steel grinding suddenly sounded, and Vince suddenly felt his body involuntarily fall to the left!
Turning his head, everyone fell to the left in horror like himself, and Vins instantly understood that there was a problem with the ice ladder!!
"What's going on?!!"
"Ah!! let me out!!"
"Help!!"
All kinds of voices erupted in an instant in the ice ladder, and the panic quickly infected everyone like a plague!!
They are now in the middle of the hole in the leyline corridor, and if they fall, I am afraid that they will turn into meat sauce at that time!!
There was a constant desperate banging on the walls of the ice ladder, but there was no response other than a biting chill. Someone wanted to run, but the inclined ice ladder simply didn't give him that space!
"Don't panic!Companions!!Don't panic!!"
At the critical moment, Jolsson's voice suddenly sounded in the crowd of people! He poked his head out of the crowd with difficulty and said, "Don't panic, feel it carefully! Is the ice ladder getting back on track?!"
Vince hurriedly maintained his balance and felt it carefully, and it seemed that the ice ladder was indeed slowly tilting to the right!!
"Jorsen, your mother!!Your father must have given you magic scrolls and life-saving things, of course you are not afraid of falling!!"
An angry roar suddenly woke everyone in the ice ladder. The screams of horror subsided, and more people turned their eyes to Jolson who had just poked his head out of the crowd.
"Hand over the stuff and use it together!Otherwise, no one will want to live today!!"
"That's it!!!You're the guild leader's son, how can you only care about yourself?!!"
"Selfish and shameless!!Relying on my own father and not being able to do anything, I just say cool things here! Jolson you don't want to die!!"
In an instant, scolding erupted in all directions in the gloomy ice ladder, and Jorsen, who had kindly reminded everyone, turned pale as paper in an instant.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
In the midst of the chaos, someone could no longer bear this fear, and took advantage of the cover of darkness to reach for Jorsen!
"Don't worry, Jorson, I'll tell the elder......"
"Bang!"
Before the dark and cold words were finished, the ice ladder suddenly made a loud noise and returned to the track.
The crowd got up from the ground, some of them with their eyes down, they were the ones who had just prepared to make a move on Jorsen.
In the chaos just now, the crowd threw around, the limestone was smashed several times, and now the light in the ice ladder was even darker, and it was almost impossible to see other people's faces. Luckily, Vince was not far from Jolsson, who quickly found him.
In the narrow ice ladder, Wen Si had already pulled out the Prison Flame Knife at some point, and his cold eyes looked like a monster.
This friend of his own can get the Darkmoon Gold Coin at such a young age, and Jolson has no doubt about his strength at all. He hurriedly pressed Vins' hand holding the knife, and said softly: "Vins, don't do this, calm down!"
The crowd around them hid in a dark corner and whispered, unaware of what was being planned, but Vince didn't take the knife back.
He may not be as strong as the group inside the ice ladder, but he has the Prison Blade. No one could force the white flames on the Hellflame Knife in such a small space, not one.
"Friends," stabilizing Vins's side, Jolson looked at the ground and said slowly in a solemn voice, "This is the Ice Ladder of the Dark Moon, and the son of the leader of the Iron Shield who died here is going to make a big move, right?
After waiting for a while, there was silence in the ice ladder, and Jolson continued: "It's better to wait for the ice ladder to get out, and we will treat this incident as if this incident did not happen today, and everyone will go their own way." Anyway, now that the light is so dim, I can't see your face clearly, and you won't leave me a handle, can you?"
There was still silence in the ice ladder, but it seemed as if everyone couldn't help but move away from Jorsen, standing where the limestone light couldn't find it.
Jolson let out a sigh of relief, patted Vince and whispered, "It's okay, they won't do it!"
Vince glanced at Jolson in a complicated manner and said, "I didn't expect you to be Mr. Vin Diesel's son, no wonder he asked me to come to you......"
Jolson smiled nonchalantly and said, "He doesn't usually like to admit that my son is twenty-seven years old and has nothing to do all day long. In his words, not at all like he was when he was young!"
Vince shook his head, didn't continue the topic, lowered his voice and continued: "What about this group of people? really let them go like this? I've seen a lot of such shameless people, even if you don't trouble them, they will add fuel to the fire after they go out, how disgusting you come." ”
Jolson's expression was still so relaxed, and he said: "It's a trivial matter, anyway, the reputation of my gentleman is not much better, and it won't be worse for them to create some rumors." As for me, as long as I lie down every day, I will be very satisfied, and everything will be fine if no one does anything to me!"
Vince patted Jolson on the back and didn't say anything more.
Soon, the ice ladder reached the Demon Mist Forest. As soon as the door opened, Jolson consciously stood at the back and did not move, and the others rushed out of the ice ladder as if they were running for their lives, as if they were chasing Becrond.
The ice ladder, which was still overcrowded just now, quickly left only Vins and Jolson, who shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly at Vins, and the two finally walked out of the ice ladder.
"Friend!" Vince knocked on the window of the duty room, and the staff on duty inside was still shocked by the crowd that had just run wildly.
"Ahh
"Why did there be a problem with the ice ladder we were riding on, did something happen?"
The Darkmoon's officer on duty said, "It should be a very violent earthquake that suddenly happened just now, causing your ice ladder to be unbalanced. ”
"Earthquake?!man-made or natural disaster?!"
The officer on duty shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's from the depths of the Demon Mist Forest, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the Becrond's interception plan that the president said." ”
Vince stood up, his mood solemn to the extreme. This is definitely a movement made by Crown, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence in the world, and suddenly there was an earthquake at this juncture?!
Vince looked into the distance, and the sudden earthquake just now not only affected their ice ladder, but also many people in the distance had a trace of horror on their expressions.
"Let's go!"
After Vince finished speaking, he immediately walked quickly towards the depths of the Demon Mist Forest. Jolson didn't get a specific order, but the guild employees who were constantly being transported out of the leyline corridors were numerous, and they were all heading in one direction. Vince followed the main force directly.
The blue uniform of the steel shield, the black uniform of the dark moon, and the dark red uniform of Risak converged here into a torrent, surging towards the depths of the Demon Mist Forest.
In the history of Kyridon, even in the early days when the leyline corridor was discovered, not so many people entered the Demon Mist Forest at the same time.
Today is destined to be remembered by history.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
The officer on duty immediately stopped Jolsson, who was walking behind.
"What's wrong?" Jolson asked, looking back.
"What's going on with that group of people in the ice ladder just now, running so fast?"
Jolson smiled mysteriously and said, "They're epileptic." ”
"Epilepsy is guilty...... Epilepsy is guilty of ......" The officer on duty unconsciously repeated this sentence, and just as he wanted to ask two more questions, Jolson had already walked away.
