Chapter Seventy-One: Corlis's Past

Moore in the duty room obviously showed a look of embarrassment, but this time he didn't dwell on it for long, and quickly replied: "No need, I'm still on duty this time." And, ahem, ahem, ahem......" Moore said as he suddenly coughed, and it seemed that his long-term life in the leyline corridor had also taken a toll on his health.

"And," he gasped, "they are now on the second floor, and you don't need me to show you the way, just keep walking along the widest road, and you will soon find your stronghold after crossing the covered bridge." ”

Titch suddenly strode forward and asked a little excitedly, "Chief, they haven't gone down to the third floor yet?!!"

"Uh......" Moore was taken aback by the sudden surprise of the girl in front of him, and stammered a little, "Yes...... Yes, the guild leader is planning to leave today, but the guild's tradition is to leave at noon, so they should be on the second floor now. ”

Colis glanced down at Titch, and there was the same excitement in the other party's eyes as his own!

The president is still on the second floor! This is the best news the two have heard since they woke up this morning!

The leyline corridor is a completely different ecosystem from the ground, but in the first two layers it is only a difference in species, more precisely, a variation of species on the ground. For example, the green chestnut trees that are almost all over the first and second floors of the leyline corridor have been adjusted by some scholars to conclude that this is a variant of the green oak on the surface. And now the Darkhorn Cat, which is superior in strength and extraordinary value, seems to be able to find some prototypes among the many types and strange monsters in the Demon Mist Forest.

But this is limited to the first two layers. After the third layer of the leyline corridor, it will be a completely different and completely new world! The plants and animals that are usually unheard of live in the depths of the leyline corridor, and most of the world-famous commercial value of the earthly vein corridor comes from the third floor onwards!

Corresponding to the commercial value higher than the sky, the danger factor after the third floor of the leyline corridor has also skyrocketed! In the process of adventure, an experienced adventurer can help the team avoid many difficulties, but even today, a hundred years after the discovery of the leyline corridor, no adventurer dares to say that he can completely explore the third layer of the leyline corridor. The first two floors of the leyline corridor have been clearly demarcated by the three guilds, but on the third floor, they have only cleared a small safe area as a common base for operations.

It's not that there is a lack of ambitious characters in the three guilds to be the leaders, it's just that every time in the process of exploring the third layer, there will always be new species to be discovered, and there will always be various accidents. The huge interests of the third layer are certainly exciting, but the three major guilds are even more distressed about their own manpower.

In the remote southeastern corner of the kingdom, where birds don't poop, it is not easy to recruit long-term and reliable wage earners, and most of the personnel of the three major guilds are seedlings that they have cultivated for a long time. Moreover, in the twenty years since the magma layer of the leyline corridor cooled down, countless big merchants had organized a lot of exploration actions, but each time they had returned from the third layer, the three major guilds really had no interest in doing this kind of loss-making business.

"The most dangerous Darkhorn Cat on the first two floors of the Leyline Corridor has been hunted by us, so there shouldn't be much danger when you go in. Moore thought that the two of them should be novices who had not been to the leyline corridor much, so he added.

Colis nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

While the three of them were talking, the ice ladder had reached the top.

Titch was so surprised that she almost couldn't help but open her mouth! She had never entered the leyline corridor, she had only heard of such a thing as an ice ladder before, but when she saw it with her own eyes today, she found that the other party was more ...... than she imagined It's so much bigger!

The silvery white shell with a light blue tinge is carved with several Darkmoon emblems and green vine patterns symbolizing the Darkmoon Guild. Wrapped in a thick shell, it was a behemoth five meters long, two meters wide, and three meters high. In Teach's own imagination, the ice ladder is at most a small thing that can accommodate up to a dozen people!

"Come in, two of you. Moore made a "please" gesture to the two in the duty room.

Moore didn't come out to send them down, and Titch was visibly stunned, and then quickly reacted.

You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. Moore compromised, but he was not completely reassured of them.

"The dark moon is above. ”

Without much nonsense, Corliss saluted Moore and was the first to open the door of the ice ladder and enter, Titch immediately following behind.

Moore silently replied inside. Adventurers like them are probably people who have abandoned the belief in the four gods.

Until now, he didn't know if he had done anything wrong. But like all fathers, he couldn't put his daughter in danger.

Inside the ice ladder, Colis closes the door to the ice ladder. Soon, the two of them felt themselves slowly sinking.

The Ice Ladder is a unique product created to explore the leyline corridor, and its greatest function is to safely pass people through the magma layer and into the depths of the leyline corridor.

The magma layer suspended in the upper layer of the leyline corridor does no harm to people with more than two stars, but it has a devastating power on items, so humans cannot pass through the magma layer with the help of any external force.

When the leyline corridor was first discovered, it was barely penetrated only by the wind. After they sent the information back, the merchants who heard the news began to customize the ice ladder and began to explore the system. Later, more and more people came to the leyline corridor to make a fortune, and the volume and number of ice ladders became larger and larger, and finally reached today's six.

Colis stood in the quiet ice ladder, touching the surface of the ice ladder with his hand that sometimes felt chills, and carefully observed the behemoth that he had not used much.

Because of the magma layer, there are no ventilation facilities or windows inside the ice ladder, and the air is very dull. Fortunately, the merchants who did everything for profit had a conscience, and a circle of limestone that glowed on its own in the dark was inlaid inside, and Corris and Tichy could barely see each other by the faint light of the stone.

In the oppressive darkness, even if there is only such a little light, people's mood has inexplicably improved a lot.

Just now, Titch knew that it was the first time he entered the leyline corridor that he had heard of since he was a child, and his mood was inevitably a little excited. But at this time, she stood in the ice ladder, and her excitement was unexpectedly eased a lot.

She pressed her hand to the shimmering limestone, silently reminiscing about the legend that belonged to Carriton.

The pit in the leyline corridor is really a little long, and the two of them have been descending for a long time before they have bottomed out. The novelty of entering the ice ladder at the beginning faded, and it was inevitable that Collis and Titch, who were looking at each other, would be a little embarrassed. Titch peeked at Colliss and noticed that the other party looked nervous, not at all like he usually looked like he was in charge of the overall situation.

Since yesterday afternoon, this man who can call the wind and rain in the Dark Moon Guild and step into old age in half a step has endured a lot of psychological pressure, and now he is a little nervous.

Titch thought for a moment, and suddenly his heart moved, and he asked softly, "Mr. Corlis, how old are your children now?"

In the silence of the ice ladder, Titch had kept her voice to a minimum, but her voice still sounded very loud, even echoing.

After Titch finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. She had just spoken to Moore about the subject, and it occurred to her that in Mr. Collis's grade, he should have had a son and two daughters.

"Oh," said Corlis, his nervous expression eased when he heard Titch's words, and he said with a rare smile, "I have a son and a daughter. The son was twenty-seven years old and worked in the Blenitz firm. My daughter's grade is about the same as yours, and she is still studying medical knowledge in the Church of Light, and she is likely to be a doctor in the future!"

After listening to Collis's words, Tiki said with some surprise, "Didn't your child become an adventurer......?"

Titch's words stopped abruptly, and she realized that her next words were a little disrespectful to Corlis. Colliss is a somewhat old-fashioned gentleman who is a bit old-fashioned and serious at all times, and such words may provoke his anger.

Colliss smiled nonchalantly, and continued, "When my two children were young, it was just in time for adventurers from all over the world to come to Kyryton for adventure. At that time, I was infected by the crazy exploration ideology, and I did have the idea to train one of them to be my successor. But when the child grew up, neither of them was very interested in the adventurer's career. And in the years of work, I also saw the great dangers lurking in the leyline corridor. Since they had no intention of doing so, I didn't force them. ”

"Mr. Colliss also came to the Leyline Corridor when he was young?!" Titch was even more surprised, because Collis himself said that he had only recently been promoted to the four-star Wind. Then when he was young, he was only a three-star strength at most, and maybe even a two-star, so how could he protect himself in the dangerous leyline corridor?

Seeing Titch's undisguised surprise, Coris smiled bitterly and said, "Don't take it for granted that I don't have any combat experience. Although my strength is not good, I have a lot of combat experience, and I still have a certain ability to protect myself in the leyline corridor when I was young. You don't think that Darkmoon's vice president can really be promoted by doing clerical work alone, right?"

"Of course, I've been the vice president for a long time, and it's true that I rarely fought anymore. Collis was afraid that Titch would overinterpret what he meant, so he hurriedly added.

Titch smiled dumbly and said, "Then I'm much more relieved." It's my first time entering the leyline corridor, and I'm missing an experienced senior like you. ”

"It's hard to say that you have a lot of experience, you just don't get lost. Hmm......" Colis groaned slightly, and said a little worriedly: "I don't know what happened to Vins, he is both very promising young people, and he shouldn't stop in this kind of place." ”

At the mention of Corlis, Titch also began to frown.
