Chapter 82: The Storm is Coming
Dwarven kingdom, Earthfire Fort.
In the middle of the churning lava lake rises a circular stone platform, on which sits a handsome young man with silver hair, who is none other than Joan.
The lava lake in the Earth Fire Furnace Fort is the place where the fire magic elements are the most concentrated, and the concentration of fire magic elements in the center of the lava lake is more than five times that of the outside world, but because of the scorching temperature that can almost scorch people, no magician has ever been able to cultivate in this environment.
Joan had been sitting upright on the stone platform for seven days, and the rich, pure fire magic elements were pouring into her body in a steady stream. Looking closely, a thin layer of red light enveloped Qiong's whole body, and the source of that red light was a huge red crystal nucleus held in his hand - Fire Dragon Dragon Crystal!
This dragon crystal was the one Arthur had accidentally acquired from the Abandoned Swamp. Dragon Crystal is an important auxiliary for the Terran powerhouse to break through the Battle Commander Heavenly Pass or the Great Magician Extreme Realm, and now it is so extravagant that it is used to help Joan break through the high-level magician.
The layer of red light formed after activating the dragon crystal absorbed the fiery temperature of the magma, leaving only the purest fire-based magic elements for Joan to absorb.
Arthur, who returned to the mercenary group from the abandoned swamp, deeply stimulated Joan, and among the original Four Wonders of Blood Yao, Joan was the only one left to stay as an intermediate magician, and he became the lowest-level of the four.
Joan fell to the end not because he didn't work hard enough or had low talent, but because the promotion of a magician is already more difficult than that of a warrior, and it takes a longer time for a magician to accumulate magic power and learn magical knowledge. Among the Terran powerhouses, there are many young genius warriors, but there are few young great magicians.
After Arthur returned, the stimulated Joan completely left the mercenary group business aside, and locked herself in the house to meditate day and night to accumulate magic power.
Joan's failure to break through to the High Mage as soon as possible is not only in a hurry, but Arthur is also in a hurry, as Aretha tells him that in order to enter the mysterious ruins, he must meet the threshold of a war school or a high mage.
The Fire Dragon Crystal, which was accidentally obtained from the Abandoned Swamp, played a role at the critical moment, and with the assistance of this Dragon Crystal, he borrowed a hidden platform in the lava lake from the Dwarf King, which immediately accelerated Joan's path to advancement.
On the tenth day of the lava lake platform, the fire magic elements that were pouring into his body suddenly stopped, and there was no longer a trace of superfluous magic in his body.
Joan waited for this moment, he concentrated all his energy, compressed the magic power of his whole body to the center of his eyebrows, compressed into a dot, a ball, the sweat of the bean left from Joan's forehead, the ball of magic power in the center of the eyebrows had rotated rapidly, and Joan was still carrying out the extreme compression of magic power. The spinning orb of magic suddenly collapsed sharply inward, and then exploded outward, and Joan's head seemed to have been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and she almost fainted.
When Joan shook his head and came to his senses completely, he found that the meridians in his body had expanded several times, and the fire magic elements from the outside world had flowed into his body faster.
Joan quickly waved the void with one hand, and a magic array took shape in an instant, and a huge fire dragon with teeth and claws flew out of Joan's hand, which was his best fire dragon technique!
One, two, three!
After releasing three huge fire dragons one after another, Qiong couldn't help but laugh and said, "This son can finally release the fire dragon with his own ability, as many as he wants!"
......
Intramural Singaluru, West Flower Hall of the Church of Light.
The head of the Knights of Light, Vance, stood respectfully, and Cardinal Dyriel had a faint smile on his face.
Vance gave a standard knightly salute, "Cardinal, please." ”
"There's finally some good news from Huaorez, you've picked up elite knights from the Knights of Light, ready to go. ”
Vance hesitated slightly, "Don't we need to say hello to the Inquisition? After all, it's their primary responsibility to catch and try heretics?"
Dilier snorted lightly, "Since Fast was transferred, the seat of the chief referee has been vacant, and there are no available people in the inquisition now, and this matter has caused chaos to inform them." ”
Dyriel said that Vans was no longer in a position to say anything, but asked, "How many men do I need to prepare this time?"
"The current Blue Enchantress Mercenary Regiment is only more than two hundred people, and it is enough for you to draw more than three hundred elite knights from the Knights, plus you, me, and Deputy Captain Casey. ”
"Will our generals be a little weak, I heard that in the battle of Prison Spirit Mountain Prison, Arthur's side gathered five or six general-level heretics. ”
Dyriel smiled confidently, "There is definite news, there are only two general-level powerhouses next to Arthur now. And we are not acting alone this time, and the Flame Saintess will personally lead people to participate in this capture?"
Van Si was slightly stunned, "How could that grumpy woman come to the border of Isaac for the sake of Arthur, a little fish?"
"We may have guessed wrong before, Arthur is not a small fish, the outbreak of necromantic creatures in the Royal Hunting Ground, the bloody night of the imperial capital, the robbery of the prison of the Prison of the Spirit Mountain, and the last time he was in the abandoned swamp, many things are closely related to him, he is already a thorn in the back of the church, and he can't let him grow anymore. Dilier said with a grim look.
......
At the same time, in a secret room in the royal city.
Samille was taking out the harvest from the abandoned swamp and placing it on the ground.
A man in a brocade suit swept his gaze from these items one by one with his hands behind his back, "It's a good job, and it's not in vain for the trust and cultivation that the firm has placed in you." ”
Samille showed a bitter smile, "The big treasurer praised you, it's a fluke to come out alive this time, the brothers who followed me in this time lost three, and even Diru, who was already a general, didn't escape this catastrophe." ”
The man known as the big shopkeeper smiled disapprovingly, "All businesses in the world are the same, the higher the profit, the greater the risk, and the dead are also part of the cost." The manpower you lost this time will be replenished by the firm as soon as possible. ”
Samille hesitated for a moment and asked in a tentative tone, "If there is no urgent mission recently, I want to rest for a while." ”
Samille was frightened, and this trip to the deserted swamp was the closest he had come to death.
The big shopkeeper glanced at Samille, and said lightly: "There is an important thing that you need to do, and you can rest for a while after this is done." ”
Samille bowed, "You command." ”
"Go to Croride as a steward, he has a tricky business to get out of with it sooner rather than later. ”
Sooner or later, Arthur, who had been wandering for more than half a year, finally returned to the mercenary group, but before he could live at home for a while, the enemies who smelled the smell were ready to pounce......
