The north entrance of the metal fort. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hurry up, pack up, we're going to go!" shouted a man, running around the doorway.

"Immediately!" a dozen people used thick hemp ropes to tie up the contents of the car.

As far as the eye can see, the north gate is covered by a dense convoy, which is very spectacular. Today was the last caravan before the metal storm fell, and many merchants rushed out.

In the midst of the noisy crowd, Ike led a strange demonic beast, about two meters tall and three meters long, covered with hard and thick scale armor, covering his body. It has a long pointed head and a long snout, which is occasionally chewed into clods of dirt on the ground, its gray eyes are divided into left and right sides, and there are three golden drop-shaped hairs on its forehead that form a mysterious triangular pattern.

Looking at the tail, there is a triangular piece of flesh bulging, which is said to be its vestigial tail.

This is a gold-eating beast that is a specialty of the Alloy Plains, and only this creature can adapt to the ghost weather of the Plains.

The gold-eating beast is hard-working and does not run slowly, and is the only means of transportation to cross the alloy plains.

Ellie was now riding on the gold-eating beast, looking around.

The two of them rested for the night at the Paris Hotel yesterday, and the next day they were arranged by Calby to follow the caravan to the Gloomy World.

"Ike, listen to old Chamo more in the plains, and then I will also go to the low world, where there is a copper hammer, and I can rest assured. ”

Ike still remembered Calby's advice, and before leaving, Karbi gave him two spells!

Any Door!Ancient Arcane Magic!

Arcane Mirror! Arcane Four-Star Magic!

Two powerful magics! are hard to come by! Only a big businessman like Karbi has the strength to obtain!

Ike knew that this was Calby's concern, and after learning about the information, he had a deeper understanding of this assessment.

The place where the incident happened was in the Warhammer Cemetery in Tongling Hill.

Warhammer Graveyard has been the burial place of the dwarves of the hill for generations, but not so long ago, one part of it was turned into a lair!

Death Basin Lair!

Upon examination, it was found to be a normal-level nest, just like all newborn nests.

The conditions for the birth of the nest are harsh, firstly, something similar to the Pillar of the Source of Evil is born here, which is something that is disgusted by the rules. Second, there will be changes in the rules of the area that will affect the area.

Of course, the hill dwarves didn't care at first, it was just a small lair that could be solved by sending a random team of people into it.

But just after a group lost contact, the Death Basin lair suddenly grew into a forbidden second lair!

It's not a fixed nest, he has the power to grow!

Having a lair of growth will bring devastating disaster, because it may evolve into the ultimate lair of hell!

That's how one of the few existing hellish dens in Ello came from!

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the Hilldwarves immediately contacted the Yomos Chamber of Representatives, which took it seriously and sent a special team.

But what makes people desperate is that the rules of the lair have changed, and only mages or warriors of the third-order realm or below can enter, which is obviously a change made by the rules to estimate the unstable environment in the lair.

Since time could not be delayed, a well-established third-order team became the vanguard.

A few days later, the nest evolved into a forbidden three-nest, and the team was naturally silent.

As of now, this lair has become the Red Elite level, and can only be accessed by classes of rank 5 and below!

This terrible growth caused the Council of Yomos to feel a catastrophe, and they turned to the Holy See of Light and the Society of Scholars for help.

It was then that the hill dwarves made a new discovery.

According to the geographical location, in the center of the lair of the Death Basin is the remains of an ancient giant!

Yes, when the era of the Mighty Championship ended, the giants withdrew from the stage of history, but their palaces and altars remained, becoming ruins everywhere, and there were even fragments of ancient inscriptions inside!

The relics of this giant were excavated by the prophet Zhilun of the dwarves of the hills, but during the excavation, the prophet of Zhilun suddenly fell seriously ill and died, and all work was stopped.

It just so happened that the graveyard of the Prophet of Zhilun was in the Death Basin Nest****** all of this indicated that there was something else hidden in it, so the Scholars Guild had such a mission to give to Ike.

Within a year, Ike must rush to the Death Basin lair, which is temporarily sealed by the magic guild's magic array, and no one knows what is going on inside.

The elde-level lair, the inexplicable death of the Prophet, the remains of the giants that stopped digging, they converged into a pair of large hands, shrouded over Ike's head.

"Ike!" an old voice suddenly sounded.

"Oh! Ike came back to his senses from his world and looked up in response.

"I'm thinking about the things of the low world. "Chamo is also a goblin, he has a gray beard, but his short limbs are muscular, full of explosive power.

"Grandpa Chamo, do you know that too?"

"Of course, as long as it is a Yomothian, how can anyone not know about this matter. Chamo sighed, "I don't know what kind of sin was created, and the Prophet of Zhilun died like this." ”

The death of a prophet is not only a loss to that race, but also to Ello.

"Ike, I really don't know how the Scholars Association arranged, you're obviously just a third-order archmage, they actually want you to go to the elite lair!

Looking at this angry little old man, Ike smiled freely, "It's okay, Grandpa Chamo, although I am only a third-order archmage, my real combat power is comparable to that of a fifth-order archmage." ”

Chamo thoughtfully, "No wonder Calby thinks so highly of you, okay, hurry up and prepare, we have to go, I hope the group of guys at the storm platform didn't make a mistake in their prediction." ”

Ike nodded, understanding the meaning of Chamo's words.

The arrival of metal storms is predicted through the storm platform at the front of the metal fort, with an accuracy of about 80%, so there is a rule that you cannot cross the plain for two days before and after the storm falls.

Woo woo woo -

A moment later, the metal fortress resounded like a bagpipe, spreading across the golden plains in front of it, like a trumpet for a charge.

Knock! Knock!

The north gate slowly closes, and after the caravan departs, there will be a week-long lockdown until the metal storm has passed.

"Let's go!"

A man blew a trombone, the coachmen raised their whips, and the gold-eating beasts ran along the established route.

Whew――――

The wind blows, and the metal particles that are raised permeate the eyes.

A plain actually creates an atmosphere of desert yellow sand, and this is the only one.

Syllable!

Ike sat on the Goldeater, took the reins, and followed the group.

Ellie found a comfortable position and leaned against Ike's chest, and the two of them rode together.

"Hurry up, Ellie, let's go!"

"Let's go!" Ellie's little blushed and stretched out her little fist.

The vast plains, as far as the eye can see, without any obstruction from the mountains and woods, everything makes the red sun in the sky wider, and the scorching sun tests everyone's body.

The convoy formed a long line, marching mightily across the alloy plains, bursts of metallic sand mist spreading to both sides, adding to the haze.

A day's work is spent in this rush.

When night fell, the convoy also rushed to the place where the camp was set up at night.

It is a dilapidated village, full of broken bricks and sand buried by grains of sand. Only a large tree with a metallic sheen grows around, its bark is as hard as steel, and its roots go straight to the ground, as if it were poured out of steel, and it is not afraid of storms. What's even more amazing is that his branches branch out not in all directions, but towards the sky close to the trunk, like an inverted umbrella closed.

And when the sun set its last tail and the moon slowly rose, the tree began to open again, and the oval leaves tinkled like a string of wind chimes.

Cracking sound!

Each convoy lit a bonfire and boiled hot food or water. For those who have been tired from the day, this is the most relaxing time.

"It's amazing, isn't it? Chamo poked the fire, stirring up a burst of sparks. "This is hardcore wood, also known as the bell tree. It is one of the few plants that can survive in the Alloy Plains, and it is because of him that this place that should have been flooded has become a resting place for passing travelers. ”

"During the day, they use their trunks to absorb sunlight and metal, and at night they stretch out their leaves and branches to cool down, and they inevitably collide with each other, and this sound is crisp and has been with me for most of my life. ”

Chamo sighed, patting a piece of wood on his butt and making a dull thud.

"Grandpa Chamo, what are they doing?" Ellie's finger pointed to the location where the gold-eating beasts gathered not far away, and a group of Yomos were holding cloth bags containing something, quite lively.

"At night, the gold-eating beasts are collecting their excrement and waiting to be sold in the low world. Chamo said with a smile.

"The gold-eating beasts eat metal particles, and what they expel is a mixed metal, perfect for forging weapons!" continued a young goblin beside Chamo.

He is Xiaobi, the newcomer who Chamo came out to bring this time, because Chamo is old, he should retire, and he needs a successor.

"Crafting weapons out of dung? Ike was interested, and the information was available on the magic network, but on a night like this, sitting around the campfire and listening to the locals explain it was even more flavorful.

"Don't underestimate this feces, the gold-eating beast can't excrete a gram a day, it's very precious!" Xiaobi said seriously, "The gold-eating beast is our treasure! Each team must be accompanied by several excellent breeders, and those people are the ones who are responsible for cleaning up the mixed food." ”

"Mixed gold is the elegant name for dung, and it's in high demand in the market. ”

"I see. ”

・・・

A group of people laughed and gaged, and the night began.

Most of the people of Yomos are very lively, and after filling their stomachs, they begin to sing and dance, and the scene is novel and interesting. It touched Ike and Ellie a lot, and Xiaobi also let go of her restraints at this time, and even invited Ike and the two to play together.

After a while, they blended into the crowd.

Whew――

A gust of wind came from the northwest, and the crisp and melodious sound of the bell tree lingered in everyone's ears, as if it reflected the lively scene.

"The wind is blowing!" said Old Chamo, who was smoking a cigarette pouch on the side, with a solemn expression. (To be continued.) )
