Chapter 132: The Black Marketeer's Lair
Just when the people of the natural disaster were anxious to face the guard army, the group of the urban management brigade was walking in the depths of a hidden jungle in the natural disaster wilderness area. Leading the way in front of them was an undead clan in pitch-black robes with shrugged shoulders and a slight hunchback.
Roshan's energy had been digested not long ago, and the news of the kill had spread throughout the continent, but the guards and the adventurers of the Scourges had no reaction, and no one came to disturb Ma Le's tranquility.
Walking and walking, the undead who led the way suddenly stopped, stretched out a pair of hands with white bones, and stroked a few times at the virtual comparison, and then took out a strangely shaped crystal from his arms and shook it, a faint light mist bloomed, and the originally empty place suddenly seemed to be torn open, through the crack, you can see that there is a green and dense tropical rainforest inside, full of life, and the lifeless natural disaster jungle outside has a sharp contrast, it is like a different world.
"Several, please!"
As soon as the undead clan led by him raised his hand, he first walked into the rift, and Ma Le and the others followed closely, and Shangguan didn't forget to complain: "Aren't you an undead, you won't get drunk with oxygen when you enter such a fresh place of air?" ”
The undead smiled ugly, "This skin is just a disguise for walking, I never feel like a natural disaster!" ”
The group walked through the beautiful jungle, listening to the birds, smelling the flowers, and after bypassing a small river, they suddenly felt a sudden enlightenment, and a green wheat field appeared in front of them, and many people were busy cultivating the fields. Strangely, there are the undead of the Scourge and the Night Elves of the Guard, but the two sides don't seem to be hostile, but rather happy and cooperative. What's even stranger is that those night elves actually have the same face and the same height, but they are slightly different from each other. And although the undead have different rotten places on their bodies, it is still vaguely obvious that they also have the same appearance, and it seems that compared with those night elves, it is only the difference between decay and completeness......
Everyone here, including the one who led the way, is actually carved out of a mold!
In fact, all the people in this enchantment are actually a certain person's Ke (Harmony) Long, and this group of Ke (Harmony) Long people has a unified title, called "Black Market Merchant"!
Remember the assignment that the black marketeer once gave Ma Le? In fact, the moment Roshan was killed, the black market merchants received the news, and they immediately sent people to the Hell's Corner to check, and naturally found Ma Le in the middle of the house. Ma Le must have been seven days and seven nights, and the black marketeers waited next to him for seven days and seven nights, and finally, when Ma Le woke up, they decided to fulfill the promise they had made.
During this period, Ma Le devoted himself to resolving Roshan's life energy, but he was not unaware of the outside world, the battle situation between the Guards Legion and the Scourge Legion, and the information from the Guò Miracle Badge, he also knew a little, and during this period, the adventurers on the Cataclysmic side also sent him messages, hoping that he could help resist the Guards, but Ma Le never ignored it. Persian cats, on the other hand, have always maintained contact with the adventurers of the natural disaster, monitoring the information of the battlefield in real time.
"The Scourge has retreated to the Frozen Throne on all fronts!" After receiving a message from other adventurers, the Persian cat immediately informed Ma Le: "The Guards are gathering at the bottom of the mountain, and it is estimated that the natural disaster will only last for another two or three hours at most." ”
"Got it!" Ma Le replied lightly: "Let them hold on first." Don't worry, no one wants to fail the mission, and they will show their real skills at this time, especially the women in the Dynamic City, who are not easy to mess with. Since we can sue for two or three hours, it means that it is no problem for half a day! ”
As he spoke, under the guidance of the black market merchants, several people had come to a castle built on a mountain, and the black market merchants stepped forward to activate the mechanism, and with the uproar of the streak, the drawbridge was lowered, and the gate was opened, making way for a passage.
A few people entered the castle hall, and the black market merchant bowed to them slightly: "Please wait here for a while, and I will go and inform the chief!" With that, he walked up the stairs.
In the castle hall there is an exaggerated long table filled with all kinds of delicacies, all of which are specialties of the defense of the ruins. Ma Le even saw the Thunder Lizard's barbecue from it, and it was clear that this should have taken advantage of the adventurers.
A few people were also polite, and they took food directly from the table. To be honest, although Ma Le is known as a gourmet, he actually doesn't really have much research on food, these delicacies entered his big mouth, and almost the taste did not spread before swallowing his stomach, and then in the blink of an eye, it was converted into energy. As an adventurer who needs high-intensity combat at all times, his digestion ability is also superhuman.
"You're all appetizing!"
As he was feasting, an old voice came from overhead. Looking up, he noticed an old night elf in a plain robe, slowly walking down the stairs with the support of two black market merchants.
Despite his gray hair, loose skin, and wrinkles and age spots on his face, several people could tell from between their eyebrows that this old man must have looked exactly like those black marketeers when he was young!
"Presumably you're the essence of a black marketeer, right?" Ma Le greeted him, and the two people next to the old man were obviously still a little wary, as if they didn't want others to get close, but the old man waved his hand and stretched out his right hand to Ma Le who came over.
A simple handshake gave Ma Le a basic judgment of the old man. The magic is very strong, and it can even beat some heroes, but it is not the kind of person who is outside the world, and there is still nothing he can do to deal with monsters like Roshan.
"Mr. Gourmet......" The old man sat on the main seat of the long table and smiled kindly at Ma Le, "You really surprised me. The mission to defeat Roshan, to be honest, I just posted it with the attitude of giving it a try. In my long life, there have been more than one person who has accepted my commission, but whether they organize armies or summon monsters, they can't help the primeval demon king, and most of them even die at the hands of Roshan. I really didn't expect that there are really people in this world who can challenge Roshan alone and succeed! ”
Saying that, the old man raised a crystal clear drink: "For this bravery, the old man respects you with a glass!" ”
After drinking, Ma Le didn't say hello, and said straight to the point: "I have completed the task, and I am not polite to you, this time I came to take the reward you promised me!" ”
The old man smiled: "Young people are just impatient, don't you ask, why did I post such a task?" ”
Ma Le shrugged his shoulders: "You can probably guess!" ”
"Oh?" The old man became interested: "Let's talk about it!" ”
Ma Le glanced back at the Persian cat, turned his head and said, "Night Elves, even if they live for a thousand years, they will maintain their youthful appearance, and this is the first time I have seen you with such a wrinkled face." I'm afraid I haven't lived for tens of thousands of years! Calculate the time, the era when you were active may be earlier than the demon invaded the continent, or even earlier than Roshan! What could such an old man who was proficient in magic have to do with an invincible magical creature? ”
The old man was slightly stunned, then clapped his hands and smiled: "Hahahaha...... You guessed it right, Roshan, it's indeed my work! No, to be exact, it should be the work of our time! It is the ultimate monster that we have created with the power of the whole continent, and it is the patron saint of the continent! ”
"Now it seems that this patronus seems to be out of control?" The Persian cat asked tentatively.
"Not bad!" The old man sighed and said to Ma Le, "I heard that the battle between you and Roshan only lasted three minutes and then ended?" Then you may not realize the true horror of him. The most powerful thing about that monster is not the destructive power, not the explosive power, but the almost endless energy, the staying power that will not get tired at all! The invincible hand-to-hand combat power allowed him to easily kill all the first-class masters at that time; And the unrestricted energy output allows him to destroy a city and collapse a fortress in the blink of an eye. Coupled with its great mobility, it tirelessly wreaks havoc across the continent. It wasn't until the end that we used bait and sacrificed hundreds of Grand (Harmony) mages to finally seal this monster underground in the Hell's Corner! ”
"But it's a pity that my era, because of the destruction of Roshan, has been sluggish ever since, and finally went into decline and was replaced by a new civilization." The old man sighed: "I was lucky enough to survive, and I always felt that that monster was a stain on my life. I was afraid, afraid that the power of the seal would one day weaken, that the monster would come out again and make waves. So for years, I've been looking for a way to get rid of it completely. And now, that wish has finally come true! ”
As he spoke, the old man smiled at Ma Le: "I hope I didn't cause you trouble!" ”
"Where?" Ma Le smiled: "Thank you for being too late, your work is really amazing!" As he spoke, he clenched his strong fist tightly, and the surging power that escaped from it made the old man startled, and looked at Ma Le with suspicious eyes, as if he was looking at something that made him familiar and frightened. The latter just smiled and said, "I've heard the story too, now it's time to go and see my reward!" ”
The old man came back to his senses, nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, a few people come with me......" After speaking, he got up and walked to the inner hall.
The three of them followed the old man through the corridor and came to a wall, the old man raised his hand and stroked the vicissitudes of the green bricks, skillfully drew a complex pattern, the brick wall glowed, and then a rumbling sound came, and the wall caved to reveal a secret door.
Inside the door was a stone staircase that spiraled down, and the old man led the way in front, and several people entered this hidden basement. On the spiraling wall hung a magic lamp, which was dim at first, but suddenly lit up as soon as someone passed by. With this spiraling tunnel, about ten meters of vertical distance, several people finally came to an old gate.
