Chapter 3: Attack on Morges

Walking across the West Gate Bridge across the Jiuyao River is the famous Gate of Life and Death. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info From a distance, the door of life and death is in the shape of "M", the angel and the devil are separated on both sides, the angel is holding the sword of judgment, the devil is holding the scythe of life, and the intersection of the two artifacts is the boundary between life and death. We slowly walked past the angel on the left, and the huge long sword slashed down diagonally, giving a deadly sense of oppression. There are also countless small reliefs painted on the bodies of the angel and the sword, and if you look closely, they are all human beings, struggling human beings, there are both pain, sadness, and confusion, but also joy and calmness・・・・・・ I know that the death door on the other side also has a similar pattern, and I still don't know why it is arranged in this way.

A caravan came slowly, a solemn procession, for there were three wagons covered with straw mats, and a small white flag was drawn at the head of the wagon, and they were going to enter Aria through the gate of death, and they had passed the test of death.

We soon arrived at the Egret Beach ferry, where Sain hired three small boats and headed for the town of Duwind, the end of the human realm. I shared a boat with Langer and the archer, who was called Quincy, nicknamed "Three Arrows", because there was no target that none of Quincy's three arrows could miss. He was very talkative, and as soon as his butt touched the board, he talked to us about his treasure hunting experience, and it can be said that every treasure hunting experience is the talk of treasure hunters, and we are happy to listen to him, after all, we can learn a lot from the experience of our predecessors.

On Sain's ship are two strong men: Owen "Beast" and Oakburn the Tigerman, one is a magician, and the other has the strong bloodline of the orc, and is the core of the team.

On the other ship was a doctor and two warriors, the doctor was called "Gage" Gage, who was plump and had well-maintained skin, and it was not known why they had come out to join the adventure. One of the two warriors was a strong man with a great axe, named Garn, and the other was a female warrior with a round shield and a short sword, and had a name that had nothing to do with the warriors—Sarah.

We traveled up the river for two days to reach Dufeng, a town famous for its martial arts, and the town is close to Lake Vegallon, which is rich in fresh fish called "Longsword", which is the only fish in the world and is the most important resource of the town. Seon invited us to a feast of "Swords", and then we stepped out of the gates of Icewind Dale in the evening sun, and broke into Heaven, Hell, and the Western Regions.

It was the height of summer, and the flowers were blooming in the wild, and Doctor Gage would always stop by those rare flowers and plants, occasionally select some plants, and then catch up with the group on his short legs, and of course Sarah would always accompany him.

After leaving the Rohan Plains, the team quickened their pace, because from now on the west was an absolute danger zone, where barbarians, human-hostile orcs, and magicians were all deadly beings, and there were even those poisonous snakes and beasts. Of course, the deadliest creatures of nature are forever hiding in the shadows of the unknown, where the chaotic elements collide with each other to create unknown mutated creatures. I saw a nine-tailed demon fox during one of my treasure hunts, and it successfully plunged the whole team into a maze, and five of my teammates died that night due to cannibalism.

After nearly half a month of rapid marching, we finally reached the gate of the Morgeth Mine, only to be attacked by a few small beasts, most of which had been fed with Garn's great axe.

The entrance to the pit is very small, and the once heavy stone gate has long been cracked, and even there are only three or four smooth stones left on the ground to prove the existence of the stone gate. Moljes was an unsuccessful pit for the dwarves, but unfortunately not much ore and metal were unearthed from the barren Fedoro Mountain, but the dwarven king Lorraine tirelessly ordered the digging to continue, so the dwarves continued this unsuccessful policy. After the death of the dwarven king "One-Eyed" Lorraine, the mines of Morgeth were abandoned, and now there are many orcs gathered there, which is why there are so many warriors in our team.

Secy, propped up his iron shovel with his back to the darkness of the mine, coughed twice, and we knew that he was going to officially announce the goal of this treasure hunt, and we all fell silent and waited for him to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the primary goal of entering the Mines of Moldes this time is to find the tomb of the king, the graveyard of 'One-Eyed' Lorraine. ”

I was stunned for a moment, the cemetery, who built the cemetery in the pit, who was sick in the brain, and the others looked at Seci in disbelief, waiting for him to continue to explain.

Sisi continued: "There is definite information that Lorraine's grave is in Moldes, not within the borders of the dwarves, and as to why, I don't know. "This employer is more mysterious, but he has money, and he wants us to get back the 'Moon Scepter', which is Lorraine's favorite, and he will definitely put it next to his corpse, as for something else." ”

Sisi glanced at the other eight and continued, "Take as much as you can. ”

Lange and I almost suffocated, King's Tomb! A King's Tomb is placed in front of two rookies, not afraid that this Lorraine is the most shabby king in history, as long as we get it, it will be a fortune we never thought of.

Sain and the others calmed down for a while, and then said: "But now there will be no less danger in this mine, if I encounter any accidents, you know the rules." ”

Sain seems to have said this specifically to Lange and me, and the rule he said was that we could go back to the Treasure Hunter HQ ourselves, hand over the scepter to HQ, and then an employer would pick it up and pay us a sum of money. This is kind of insurance, to ensure that the employer behind the headhunter can still get the treasure he wants after his death. Of course, even if we didn't get the scepter, we could go back to HQ and get a set aside for the work fee, which only poor scumbag rookies like Lange and I would care about.

"Well, let's go into the pit now. With a wave of his hand, Seon took out the torch that was stuck behind his back, and silently recited a spell to light the torch. The torches used by the treasure hunters were coated with the alchemist's specially boiled oil, the best of which could burn for nearly twelve hours, and some were waterproof and even burned in water. Of course, Lange's torches and I could only burn for six hours, and they were neither waterproof nor underwater, so we still owed a debt to the headquarters.

We walked into the pitch-black cavern and swirled down the abandoned tracks. It was very shady inside the mine, but we soon realized that it was not the usual coolness, but a chill surrounding us.
