Chapter 780: A Hidden Secret
A high ground on the south side of the Forgotten Lands portal, on the edge of the Forgotten Lands, and the only elevated location in the entire Forgotten Lands.
The building on the high ground resembles an observation deck, except that the equipment inside has been abandoned for a long time.
Frostaxe is leading his dwarven demolition brigade to demolish the ruins.
Elder Quiytoan watched the group of dwarves raise their hammers and easily destroy the front wall with a single blow, and his eyelids couldn't help but jump.
The Forgotten Lands used to be a human base close to Athercro, but Quiittoan often came here to negotiate with humans, and it also carried some of his memories.
Although some of the memories were not very good, Elder Kuitoan could not help but feel a little melancholy when he looked at this scene.
"Sons of the Forest, do you really have a way to suppress Lord Ridley's inner door?"
Elder Kuitoan couldn't stop this demolition, so he could only focus on the black dragon.
"You should ask your World Tree about this, but it should be a good sign that it has regained its ability to speak after watching Cat and Mouse."
Qiao Xiu looked at the Duke of Black Dragon, who was in the other place.
Elder Enya has become a nurse-like existence of this black dragon, and Elder Enya will follow wherever it goes.
The black dragon's rations have also been settled, and that is the doppelganger of the World Tree.
It was devouring alive the seventeenth clone of the World Tree, which seemed to be determined to use this method to train the black dragon's hunting abilities.
Kuitoan wanted to ask something, but something seemed to have happened to the Duke of Black Dragon, and he hurriedly ran over.
The frost axe, who was directing the dwarves to demolish and relocate, slowly came to Qiao Xiu after seeing Elder Kuitoan walking away.
"We're supposed to be destroying artifacts?"
Josiu stood on the edge of the heights with his camera and took a picture of the Forgotten Lands.
With the disappearance of the rock wall that shrouded the Forgotten Lands, the ruins felt a little less gloomy and now looked like they had just been through war.
"What kind of artifact is this kind of human architecture thousands of years ago? Don't worry, Qiao Xiu, we dwarves won't miss anything valuable. ”
The sentence behind the frost axe sounded like a goblin would say, but although the way the dwarven demolition team brought by the frost axe was a little rougher, the things in that building that had a little collectible value had already been moved out and placed in the open space.
"I'm sorry for you."
Qiao Xiu didn't pay any commission for inviting the frost axe over this time, and these dwarves were completely voluntary labor.
In contrast, Count Cruz of the Iron Nation has already returned to Nolan to calculate how much money it would cost to restore the scenes of "Beauty and the Devil".
"This is our drunken pastime."
Frostaxe waved his hand absently, and the dwarves did hold a wine glass in one hand and a hammer in the other, and from time to time they poured a mouthful into their mouths.
"What's the little thing sitting there?"
While Frostaxe directs his people to carry out the demolition, his attention is also focused on a petite figure on the other side of the plateau.
"A dragon."
Qiao Xiu did not hide the true identity of the Black Dragon Duke from the Frost Axe, and the elderly dwarven patriarch was already vaguely aware of the threat posed by the Black Dragon Duke.
"Guardian of the long-eared trees?"
Elder Frostaxe is an old friend of the Black-Clad who is a High Elf, so he also has some research on Elves.
"Well, it's just that I've been corroded by the gray mist and have been recuperating in the Demon Realm for a long time, and I probably don't remember anything now."
"What the hell is this gray mist, I see that there are always people discussing this thing in the online posts of the devil, and I can't read the book "Diary of a Heresy Inquisitor" at all." Frostaxe asked.
"It's a bit similar to the plague, the plague destroys the body of life, and the gray mist erodes more of the personality and consciousness of life and the soul aspect, so much to say... In fact, it is a dangerous plague. ”
Qiao Xiu synthesized the information he had gathered from his contact with the gray fog during this time, including the characteristics of the gray fog.
"Is it the plague? I've heard from that guy Gisolio that the source of the gray fog is something horrible..."
The 'Gisolio' mentioned by Frostaxe is the name of the Blue Cloak, who first explored Nolan's beneath for a while.
"It may be a god-like being, and the Inquisitors committed so many evil deeds just to summon that thing into our world..."
"My people have become ungodly in our generation." Frostaxe turned out to be an atheist, but the expression on his face was very solemn, "But that thing is really scary." ”
"You... Ever seen? ”
Qiao Xiu listened to the tone of the frost axe, as if he had come over.
"If I've seen that thing, I wouldn't be holding a wine glass here, and I wouldn't be able to play with Hearthstone." Frostaxe muttered a low sigh and continued, "Our clan has been exploring the underground ruins of Nolan for generations, and the things in the ruins are not something that humans can create at this stage, and there are some magic puppets that can move, even our best craftsmen can't make them. ”
"I've heard of it, the remnants of that ancient civilization."
Qiao Xiu had heard of the ruins of Nolan's underground since he entered Nolan, which was why Nolan was so prosperous.
Now the teleportation array in the center of Nolan uses the technology of that ruin, which is also one of the few relict technologies deciphered by the sages, and the transnational teleportation array has made the communication between countries around the world and Nolan more frequent.
Gradually, the city of Nolan also became the center of world civilization.
"Now that I think about it, the civilization that came to that ruin may have been sunk by the gray mist." Frostaxe took a sip of wheat wine and said, "But our clan has been digging in that ruin for more than a hundred years, but we haven't dug up anything good. ”
Qiao Xiu had heard this inference mentioned by the sages a long time ago, so he was not surprised.
However, Qiao Xiu was a little worried that this group of dwarves would not dig up the entire Nolan.
"One more thing!"
Frost Axe has eaten more than a dozen glasses of wheat wine in a row, and the alcohol content of this thing can be much higher than that of ordinary ale.
No matter how good this dwarf is, he is estimated to have entered a drunken state by now.
"We've met some weirdos in the ruins in the past few years, and the food stored in the mine has also shown signs of being stolen."
"You mean... Could there be aborigines in those ruins? ”
Joshua recalls an incident he had experienced a year ago, when Joshua met a human covered in blue inscriptions on Squirrel Street, and after fighting the human off, Joshua obtained a strange stone slab.
The role of the slate is a bit like a mobile phone, but Qiao Xiu didn't react to it no matter how he pressed it, and after that, Qiao Xiu gradually forgot about it.
"It sounds like the beginning of a legendary quest again, but... It's not something I can control, so Frostaxe still focuses on demolition. Qiao Xiu said.
