Chapter 52: Rendezvous
After two days of walking and killing out several waves of demonic beasts and undead, Char and his party finally arrived at the predetermined meeting place. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and Horn and the Flame Mercenary Group have been waiting here for a long time.
"Brother Char, you are really slow to come, it seems that there is an unexpected gain. Horn walked over laughing.
"Brother Horn, you're thinking too much, I'm unlucky to have some trouble, but fortunately, I arrived at the scheduled time. Char laughed along.
"Then Brother Horn, it's up to you to lead the way. "Speaking of which, with the complex terrain of Demon Cloud Valley, if it weren't for the map given by Horn, Char might not be able to find this place.
"Rest assured, I've chosen to meet here because it's not far from the lair of the undead dragon. ”
After a short rest, some people who were familiar with each other laughed and laughed, and then began to hit the road.
Passing through a long and narrow plain, Char saw a gravel hill with boulders tens of meters high staggered and towering, forming a complex stone forest.
"Brother Char, we have arrived, and the mountain in the stone forest is it. Horn climbed onto a boulder and said to Char.
"There's something wrong with this mountain・・・・・ Char looked at the mountain standing in the stone forest, and immediately frowned. It was a big black mountain, and the color seemed a little out of place with its surroundings.
Moreover, the terrain around this place is flat, it is a stone forest wasteland, and there will not be a mountain in any way, and the most important thing is that the bottom of the mountain protrudes, as if it has been dug out completely.
"This mountain wasn't originally here. Char finally came to this conclusion.
"Brother Char guessed right, look at the top of the mountain. Horn smiled and pointed to the sky above the black mountain, a huge cloud, and countless lightning flashes in the thunderclouds.
And through the thunderclouds, Char could vaguely see a ten-foot-long crack looming, almost tearing the sky apart.
"That's the spatial crack, I think Char, you've already thought of it, that's right, this mountain fell out of that crack. You and I both know that the Demon Cloud Valley is only the periphery of that ancient battle, the power of those supreme gods is not something you can imagine, and the terrain of the Demon Cloud Valley is just the leakage of divine power, and that unknown space is the real battlefield. Horn said with a look of awe on his face, and here, he deeply felt his insignificance.
"It's a mountain that fell out of the real battlefield. Char watched this scene quietly, his calm expression made it impossible for others to see his thoughts, but he firmly engraved this picture into his heart.
"We can only think about that existence after all, or the cave of the undead dragon is in the middle of this black mountain, and it should be easier to deal with it before it gets dark. Horn smiled, and quickly returned to reality.
The group walked towards the black mountain.
But what Char and Horn didn't know was that at this moment, besides them, someone had already entered the Black Mountain.
In a cave in the Black Mountain, a group of people is pitching a tent, and if you look closely, you will see that this group of people is also divided into two parts. Some of them are dressed differently, and the team is relatively lazy, mainly a bald man carrying a large knife.
The other part is neatly dressed armor and weapons of the same standard, and they are neatly organized and have an orderly division of labor. This is a guard, and in the middle of this guard is a handsome young man.
"Master Pierre, this place is the ancient ruins you mentioned earlier, it does look a little good, but it is not a good place no matter how you look at it. The bald man came to the blonde young man, looked at the black mountain and said.
"Captain Hook, danger often coexists with profit, with your status, do you still need me to remind you of this?" said the blonde young man with a slight smile.
"I know this, of course, but I want to be sure, if my brothers and I take the risk this time, will we definitely be able to reap the rewards? The bald man pretended to be casual.
And how could Pierre not know what this guy was thinking. "Captain Hook, please rest assured, I said that I hired the Tiger Mercenary Group this time, and if there is no gain from this operation, the remuneration for hiring will not be less. ”
"If that's the case, then I'll go back and prepare first, and I hope that Master Pierre can have a smooth journey this time. Assured by Pierre, Hook shook the knife in his hand and turned away laughing.
"Young master, this guy is so arrogant, do you want me to make a move and let him understand his status. Watching the bald man leave, the old man in black behind Pierre said.
Pierre was silent for a moment before waving his hand. "No, I don't want to make a fuss at this time, so let him do it first. ”
"By the way, did you have contact with the Dark Elves for you to inform the Dark Elves?"
"It's already been done, but the dark elves are very cautious, there shouldn't be any big moves, and the chances of success shouldn't be great. Young master, why don't you let me or Kurt bring some people to help, in that case, that bastard named Char will definitely die. ”
"I know that, too, but now this matter can be put aside, and the matter on this side is more important. ”
"Young master, although that Char is a pariah, he has good means, as a pariah, he was able to completely control the Mandala family in half a month, and now he has reached out to the daughter of Viscount Rose, why do you still let him ・・・・・・. The old man in black reminded a little unwillingly.
"Okay, I'm free to think about this matter, I'm tired and need to rest. Pierre said and walked into the tent.
Seeing that the old man did not follow up, the ring on Pierre's hand flashed, and the black box appeared in his hand. Compared to before, this black box was devoid of magic, and the intricate runes on it were already covered in blood.
Carefully opening the box, Pierre took out a transparent stone from it, and holding the stone, Pierre's mind fell into a trance. And in this trance, his even trance was following the stone quickly towards the depths of the cave, and finally stopped on a black sarcophagus.
Pierre could feel a strong call coming from the black sarcophagus, and Pierre was attracted by the call and wanted to approach the black sarcophagus. But the next moment, he came to his senses.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Pierre laughed.
He didn't show this stone to anyone, because before this mysterious stone, even his most trusted servant could have betrayed him because it was related to the five generations of demon kings.
Five generations of demon kings, that is an existence that competes with the gods, as long as it is related to him, even if it is a little fur, it is unimaginable. Although Pierre thinks that his wisdom is not weaker than anyone else's, he has a heart disease, and he has been extremely poor in cultivation since he was a child.
And his elder brother, the next successor of the Charles family, is not only intelligent, but also has excellent cultivation talent. This suffocating gap could have made anyone desperate, but Pierre was a stubborn madman.
It was precisely because he was unwilling to give up that he came to Dark Death Ridge and came to Dawning City.
"As long as you get the knowledge and power of the five generations of demon kings, even if it's just a little bit, even if it's just related to him, it's unimaginable. Whether it's the Rose family, Dawning City, Yorktown, how can the importance of this matter be compared. Pierre clenched his fists, he knew exactly what he had to do now.
