Chapter Twenty-Four: The Troll's Claw
"I said that he was too anxious, and I certainly wouldn't treat such an important thing as saving people as child's play!" Mastasha smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "The judgment just now is just speculation, not necessarily right. What's more, even if I guess correctly, then the place where we are going to save people must also go through the center of the place of death, so I am not wasting time saving people! ”
Hearing Mastasia's further explanation, Qin Lun's expression eased slightly, and he gave Hill a look.
Almost without communicating on the team channel, Hill already understood, and asked while the iron was hot: "Please forgive us for our rudeness just now, so can you tell us now, what is your so-called secret?" ”
"Can I still not sue you?" Mastasya rolled his eyes in annoyance, and then said solemnly, "However, you must assure me that you will not publicize this news to the outside world after this incident. Otherwise, it could bring a catastrophe to Baldur's Gate. ”
Because the previous controversy was a little bigger, Rick and the three also gathered around, and when they heard this, they all said that they would never divulge Mastasia's so-called secret. Although they are mercenaries now, they are different from ordinary mercenaries who are mercenary.
"What's the biggest legend you've heard about Baldur's Gate before?" Mastasha asked with a smile on his face.
"Needless to say, the biggest legend at Baldur's Gate is, of course, about the legendary pirate Bodean's establishment of Baldur's Gate." Largo the thief raised an eyebrow and said without thinking.
"Yes, but what about the Land of the Dead?" Mastassia nodded and continued to ask.
Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and there were many important legends about the Land of the Dead. There have been many epic wars here before ancient times, and there have been many epic wars that have changed the situation of the whole Da 6, and Mastasya's question is a bit difficult to answer.
"Mastasya, do you mean the legend of Bod'an crossing the Land of the Dead?" A faint voice suddenly came from the crowd, and everyone looked at Winnie, whose face was still a little pale.
Under Winnie's reminder, everyone suddenly woke up. There are many legends about the Land of the Dead, but the first question about Mastasha is obviously another legend of Bodean, the only famous human in the history to have crossed the Land of the Dead.
The reason why it is said to be a famous human is because he is the only creature or adventurer who crossed the land of death has a clear historical record.
"You have a clear clue from Bodean?" Qin Lun frowned slightly, lowered his head and muttered, "No, no, no matter how important the relics left by Bode'an are, they will not bring disaster to the current Bode Gate, unless it is ......"
"You found the treasure of a legendary pirate?" Everyone looked up in unison, with mixed emotions in their eyes, surprised, delighted, and worried......
Treasure of a legendary pirate! Even if these people present were not simple, they were also shocked by this appearance, and all the emotions in the hearts of human beings appeared on their faces in an instant, including the three apostles of Qin Lun.
They are apostles and don't need wealth, but the treasure of a legendary pirate is not necessarily only gold and silver treasures, but also his legendary equipment, magic scrolls, nautical diaries, and even that earth-shattering martial arts inheritance.
The value of legendary equipment and martial arts inheritance is still secondary, and in comparison, Bodean's nautical diary is definitely more attractive to Qin Lun and the others. The legendary pirate Bodian and his warships have traveled all over the world, not only the Faeron 6, but also the Karatu 6 in the Far East, overseas islands and other places, I don't know how much world exploration is included.
This nautical diary is the saga of Bodan's life, recording the most important history of his time. If Qin Lun and the three of them were allowed to get this nautical diary, I am afraid it would be no less than the exploration income of the sum of the worlds of several missions.
"You guys are really money fans, you don't even think about it, just say it's a treasure!" Mastacia smiled wryly, it's no wonder that when it comes to the so-called Pirate King, isn't everyone's first thought of treasure a treasure?
"I did fulfill the mark left by Bodean, but there was not necessarily a treasure. Actually, I didn't know what was inside, and I didn't dare to explore that place at the time. Mastasia shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "It's the most dangerous core of the entire Dead Lands, and judging by the traces that have appeared nearby, there should be at least one true legendary creature." ”
"Legendary creatures!" The crowd was in a state of hesitation, and their strength was not bad. However, when you reach the threshold of legendary, it will be completely different, because creatures above the legendary level will definitely have their own legendary realm.
Don't look at Qin Lun and the others who have now reached the second order, even against high-level plot powerhouses, they can also compete with a powerful law body, but against legendary creatures, it is definitely out of the scope of ability.
If they come across the legendary realm with similar attributes, maybe they will be killed in an instant. It's just like Qin Lun was almost stabbed to death by a high-level assassin of the Santalin Society.
"What does Bodean's clue have to do with rescuing Elistin?" Among the people, only Qin Lun still hadn't forgotten the point of the topic, frowned, and asked unhappily, "Didn't you deliberately come here to find Bodean's ruins?" ”
"You know I've always had only one goal!" Mastaxia looked at Qin Lun with a little meaning, "Saving people is the first priority now, and the reason why I mentioned Bodean's clue is because if we want to continue searching for Ilistin, we must go to Guò to ......"
"The main road that must lead to guò......" Rick hesitated, touching the newly grown stubble on his chin, "The Land of Death is bordered by the Oisa River to the south, the Meandering River to the west, the trade road to the town of Trill to the east, and only the ...... to the north."
"If it's the Troll's Claw to the north of the Land of the Dead, it really has to be through the center of the swamp!" Lago and the others, who knew the terrain, had already understood, but everyone's faces had become ugly.
To the north of the Land of the Dead is a craggy mountain range that is difficult to climb on all sides, known as the Troll's Claw.
Since the war between the trolls and elves in ancient times, it has been difficult for these violent and powerful creatures to see complete tribes from the plains, and only the occasional few individuals running out of the mountains have caused trouble for passing merchants.
However, this does not mean that the troll race has disappeared completely, they have simply migrated into the mountains where humans and elves do not penetrate, and only the dwarves of the Northland will deal with them regularly.
The biological level of the trolls is different from the dragon flies that everyone just encountered, and as long as the members of the race are mature individuals, they have generally reached the fifth or sixth order.
Trolls have humanoid intelligence and are able to learn totemic secrets and martial arts, which also makes the strength of most male individuals often exceed their own racial level. In order to reach the high-level level of the seventh order or above, and among the large tribes, there will even be legendary warriors or legendary shamans.
The Troll's Claw is the mountain range that thrives an entire tribe of trolls, almost a ring, surrounded by steep walls that reject all outsiders.
There are only two entrances to the Troll's Claw, one of which is a meandering river that crosses the mountains in the middle. The second is the mountain valley located in the northern part of the Land of the Dead.
However, both entrances are equally dangerous. Needless to say, the dangers of the Land of the Dead winding into the Troll's Claw Mountains are a marvel of nature.
In front of the Troll's Claw Mountains, there are three huge waterfalls, each with a drop of hundreds of meters, and the deepest waterfall is two kilometers inside the mountain.
There are no ships to enter or leave here, and the only way to get in is to fly. But flying in the air is even more dangerous, and from the moment you enter the Troll's Claw Mountains, the high cliffs on both sides of the river are home to a ferocious bird.
This kind of bird is called ** crested eagle, with vermilion meat ~ crown on the top of its head, which looks similar to a rooster's comb, hence the name.
The cockscomb eagle is the size of a griffin, wild and aggressive, and cannot be tamed at birth, even by the most astute animal trainers. They won't spare any creature that passes through the airspace, even if it's a dragon.
Each of the cockscomb eagles has a creature level of four or five orders, and the key is that they are still social creatures, hundreds of them flock to it, and the legendary profession will hate the claws.
The Baldur's Gate authorities had long since set up a rope at the entrance of the meandering river into the mountains, and placed signs on both sides of the river to warn the merchant fleet of those who had forgotten their schedules.
As a result, although the meandering river is the busiest section of the river in the Baldur's Gate area, this section of the river is inaccessible, and the merchant fleet will automatically transfer to the horse-drawn carriage shops set up on both sides of the river.
"Do you know anything about that legendary creature in the depths of the Dead Lands?" Qin Lun thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked Mastaxia.
"I don't know, judging from the traces it left behind, it should be a large amphibian or reptile, a swamp hydra, a wild bull, a swamp dragon lizard, and a long-necked water dragon...... There are too many possibilities for me to discern one by one. Mastasha shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
"If the three of you feel like this mission can't continue, then our employment contract can end here!" Out of the corner of Qin Lun's eyes, he saw the blood-piercing trio whispering behind him, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, and took the initiative to mention it.
Hearing Qin Lun's inquiry, the three of Rick couldn't help but stiffen, with an embarrassed look on their faces. They were indeed arguing about whether to continue with the mercenary assignment just now, after all, continuing to do so would already threaten their lives.
Among the three, the thief Lago is more opposed to going further, hoping to persuade Sifer, who is an ordinary person, to leave with him. And Winnie, who had just been saved by Qin Lun, said that she would advance and retreat with everyone no matter what.
Rick hesitated, the three of them had never argued over a mission before. Thinking of this, the knight looked at Qin Lun and said in a deep voice: "Since we have become mercenaries, we naturally have a beginning and an end. As I said a long time ago, though, you're not our employer. In this case, it is up to Mr. Siver to decide whether or not the mercenary group will continue to follow you! ”
The blood-piercing trio invariably looked at the dazed Sifo, Qin Lun shook his head, smiled slightly, and lowered his head to whisper to Sifo.
Seeing that the expression on Sifer's face changed for a while, and slowly became firm, Rick suddenly sighed secretly, and it seemed that the answer was self-evident.
