Chapter 584: Karl's Determination
Krent touched his chin, he didn't doubt the abilities of Marcos and his party, but he had never heard an alien adventurer tell him a somewhat ridiculous purpose - to go alone in the lava cave, which sounded crazy, because the place where the hot lava was bubbling around was the first pass that had to be passed to get to the Dark City. And the Duchy is already overwhelmed by this, and the monsters in the lava caverns are not comparable to the corpse-eating creatures of the Neupera region.
Carl wasn't joking with Krent, he instinctively pulled a cigarette out of his cigarette case and lit it with a match. Krent, on the other hand, found that the longer he observed the other person, the stronger the other person's determination became. It's just that he still has a question at the moment. "I don't understand, why would you want to go into the lava cave alone?"
"I said it, this is the last thing I can do for Marcos and them, what I can do. Carl put his cigarette in his mouth, like a shoddy thug coming out of a tavern.
"Are you going to get out of here?" the intuitive Krent realized what Carl really thought.
But Carl wasn't surprised, "That's true, I have to do something." So before I leave, I can at least take a little bit of the burden off their shoulders. β
"But there's absolutely no need for you to make such a risky decision. Krent vetoed, this is simply an act of death, it is impossible for a person to face the monsters in the lava cave.
"You can't convince me, and I? I'm not completely sure, but why don't you try to do it? I don't like to give up, and likewise, I like to take risks. As a roaming gunslinger, I was dealing with death every day before I came to the continent of Arad. Sorry, I don't understand. β
Krent knew that he had completely lost to Carl in words, and he didn't expect that this guy, who was usually silent, would leave him speechless. To be honest, he admires the other party's courage, but he still wants to say that trying to clear the monsters in the lava cave is not something that can be done by courage alone. Although he didn't say it in the end, because what he saw from the other party was not only courage, but also strength and luck.
"Since you're determined to do this, I'll tell you everything I know about the lava cavern this time. Krent sighed. "Hopefully I won't go to hell for this......"
Carl finally showed a serious expression, this was the moment he had been waiting for. "To be as detailed as possible, I need all the information. β
Krent nodded, "Most of the monsters in that place are bred from hot lava, and I know it sounds hard to believe, but the Kayak volcano is what we dark elves call the Flame Sanctuary. Perhaps, as is rumored, there is some kind of magic in the lava of the Kayak volcano. There, you may encounter lava-infested corpse robbers, as well as fire elemental spirits. Either way, these are some very difficult monsters to deal with. β
This is not surprising, if the monsters there were only the goblins in the Glen Forest, perhaps the Duchy would have already reached Darktown. Karl nodded, holding out his hand for Krent to continue. "You need to be aware of the mutilated giants there, and to be honest, I'm not very willing to mention them. β
"Why?"
"They are monsters formed by dark elf mages using necromancy to stitch together the corpses of the dead, similar to constructs. Krent's face was ugly, and it could be seen that he was strongly opposed to the use of necromancy by the Dark Elf mage. But he had no right to change the Senate's decision, so he had no choice but to forbear these things that he was dissatisfied with.
"But I've heard that the Dark Elves actually reject necromancy. Carl asked a crucial question.
"That's true. Krent admitted. "But it's not the same for Dark Elf mages who have received special approval from the Senate, and their use of necromancy will be considered by ordinary Dark Elves to benefit them. β
Carl smiled disdainfully, "That makes sense, it's a scene that plays out no matter where it is." β
"That's all I know, and you might encounter some other monsters there, but I don't know what they do. β
"Thank you for your help, Krent. Karl stood up, ready to turn and leave. Krent, on the other hand, wasn't sure if he should confess more, but he thought that if he did too much, it would burden Carl and might affect his judgment, so he gave up on the final explanation and watched Carl walk out of his tent.
It wasn't the best time yet, but Carl thought he had to do it as soon as possible. So after leaving the tent, he walked straight towards his tent. The more time is lost, the worse the content on Kelly's letter becomes. That matter can only be solved by himself and Freya from the Celestial Realm, and although he doesn't know if Freya has also received a letter from Kelly, he must go to that place to find out everything.
Marcos and Camille came to Crent's tent from the other side of the camp and tried to find Carl inside. But alas, they were a step too late, and Krent looked at the two with a puzzled expression, he had thought that the two had already known about it. But Marcos decided to leave the suspense in the air, so he immediately turned and ran towards his tent. If Carl is going to do things in advance, then he will only stay in that place.
Karl had already heard the hurried footsteps, so he spoke before Marcos could lift the curtain and enter. "Slow down, Marcos, I don't want you to fall and get bruised. β
"Are you in there, Carl?" asked Marcos a stupid question outside the tent.
"What do you think?"
Marcos lifted the curtain and walked in, gasping for air. "Listen, you don't have to do that......"
"Do what?"
"I mean, if you have something that you have to do, then just do it. You don't have to put your own life at risk for our sake, do you know what it means to go into a lava cave alone?"
Karl shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I could be gnawed by the corpse thieves and only my bones remained, or I might be punched into the hot lava by the mutilated giants, or I might clean up all the monsters there? β
Marcos sat down, trying to calm his emotions. "Tell me, why did you choose to do this?"
"Do you want to know the answer?"
"I think. β
"Quite simply, because I am your companion, it is enough for me to risk my life to help you. β46
