Chapter Twenty-Five: This Is My Cloud Climbing Ship!
Near the quagmire where the drift fire fell, a lot of adventurer teams from Wildfire City have gathered in the past few days.
These people were wary of each other and did not make a move.
First, because they didn't find out the situation of the flowing fire, most people realized that this thing really fell from the sky, even if it was a strange treasure, there was a certain danger.
Second, because of the strange fog, the fog has not dissipated a few days ago, and everyone dare not wave casually - even if it is a living corpse, being caught in the fog is also the end of being crushed, and no one dares to get along with the fog in the swamp!
Third, it's because there are actually three living corpse nests in this vicinity!
Whoever dares to approach is likely to be besieged by the living corpses.
The adventurers who can infiltrate here are all mature adventure squads, and they are all well-known in Wildfire City.
They know what to do and what not to do.
They were on guard against each other, like hunters on the hunt, gathering strength and ready to strike.
……
Gray sat bored in a low bush.
He did not hide his tracks.
As a high-level adventurer, he knew that sometimes it wasn't necessary to hide.
Especially in the case of one's own level crushing the whole field, taking the initiative to show up is a more powerful deterrent strategy.
Those local adventurers in Wildfire City didn't dare to provoke this powerful mercenary who was as high as the third order, or even suspected of being a fourth order!
"Wait and see......
"This thing, it's so strange, it just smashed between the three living corpse nests, and whoever drags it out will provoke a large number of living corpses to besiege it...... What a hassle. ”
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't expect much from this so-called treasure.
Based on his observations over the past two days, he was almost certain that it was the remnants of a wrecked ship.
In the Universal World, the ability to create such a ship is either the exiled Arcane Empire or the nearby Stephen Sand. Neither is good news. The former means trouble, the latter means ...... More troublesome.
The things of the Arcane Empire are strictly forbidden by many churches to circulate privately, and the higher the value of the treasure, the hotter it is, and it may not be able to sell it when you get it, but it is easy to get into trouble; As for the latter, although Stephen Sand is semi-reclusive, his influence in the Northland is still very high, and if their spaceship crashes, there must be someone to deal with it, and it is not easy to get some benefits.
Therefore, Gray has decided to wait and see for two more days and leave without any benefit.
His purpose in entering the Living Corpse Swamp is clear, that is, to get the Wild Exploration Order.
According to the news from Mithril Keep, the Jules mage doesn't seem to be a very powerful guy, and his mage tower should be of medium difficulty - Gray once teamed up with a powerful thief to crack a high-level mage's mage tower, and he learned a lot from that operation, and he also learned a lot of thieves' skills.
It's a pity that the thief is trapped in the gentle country of the south and can't extricate himself, otherwise with his help, he believes that this trip to the Mage Tower will be smoother.
"Should have found a helper."
With grass roots in his mouth, Gray began to look around, and at the end, he sighed.
Aside from the guard, which was clearly from the Sebaron family, no adventurer could match his vision.
He regretted it a little now, he should have forcibly taken the little warlock.
Although the level of that guy is very low, there is obviously a big family behind him, and there must be a lot of treasures in his hands; On the road of adventure, this kind of person often works wonders.
"Guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Gray cursed fiercely.
Suddenly, his pupils narrowed.
Within his field of vision, a figure was rapidly approaching!
He seems to have quite a few men with him.
"Astral Goblins?"
"Is it a mage? is so generous, is it a strong person, or an idiot who goes out for the first time? ”
Gray became a little interested in the new arrival.
Somehow, he always felt something familiar to this handsome young man.
……
Xu Nan didn't hide his traces, anyway, wearing a fraudster mask, no one would recognize him.
As for Emma, that's an exception, Ansuli's disciple, one of the six apostles of the Red Windmill, how can he compare to these poor ghosts in the Northland?
Her True Knowing Spell that had solidified in her eyes alone cost a lot: it couldn't be smashed without 50 million constant gold coins, and it also needed the help of a legendary mage. So it is natural for Xu Nan to be recognized.
The adventurers in this vicinity, Xu Nan didn't believe that they had the ability to see through the mask of the fraudster.
To put it bluntly, if they had this kind of ability or wealth, they would definitely not make a big fuss for the slightest untrustworthy rumor - most of the myths that fell from the sky still had a market thousands of years ago, and it was all over the years, and everyone knew in their hearts, most of them were unlucky people who flew and fell.
It's not so much that they're here to hunt for treasure, it's better that they're here to pick up waste......
A rabble!
This is Xu Nan's evaluation of this group of adventurers.
He didn't even need to do it himself, twelve Astral Goblin Scouts were enough to make this group of adventurers wary.
Of course, Xu Nan's recklessness is not unreasonable.
He spent a lot of shame points in advance and purchased a tenth-level spell - [Humanoid Perception]. This spell is similar to a small radar, which can display all humanoids within a certain range, and the weaker ones can also have the effect of identification.
At this moment, Xu Nan launched a spell, and a three-dimensional pattern was immediately formed in his mind.
Most of the dots are gray, which means that these are waste firewood.
There are only two places, which are black, indicating that attention is needed!
One of the spots, sitting there with a big grin, was the familiar face Gray; The other group, dressed in the uniforms of the Sebaron family's guards, had no intention of hiding their figures. Xu Nan estimated that they were sent by Barnes to find the Wild Pioneer Order, and he didn't know why he came over to join in the fun?
They are beings who can pose a threat to Xu Nan.
So he didn't act recklessly, but chose to watch very gregariously.
Anyway, it's just holding your breath!
Everyone held it together, to see who couldn't hold it, the fuse was ignited, and the contradiction broke out!
In the process of watching, Xu Nan also realized the existence of the living corpse's lair.
Three living corpse lairs, in the form of an iron bucket array, surrounded the flowing fire.
A large number of living corpses walked around, and Xu Nan was able to dodge them with the help of invisible magic balls, and occasionally needed to use the power of the cloak.
How did the rest of the adventurers do it? He was a little curious.
"No one has made a move for a while, and everyone is not stupid."
"It's a pity that the phone is broken, it's all at this distance, can't you get in touch with the fire?"
Xu Nan also had a little pain.
He was bored and began to observe the movement of the living corpses.
Observing and observing, he suddenly realized a problem!
"Where did these living corpses come from?"
"Generally speaking, the origin of living corpses is mostly related to anomalies in the world of the dead; Or is it from a necromancer...... Could it be that the Jules mage in the mage tower is a necromancer? ”
It's not scientific.
Even the necromancer has disappeared for so many years, and the living corpse should have been extinct a long time ago.
A living corpse is not strictly an undead creature, and even if it is, it is not a perpetual motion machine!
"Could it be that these living corpses are all produced by the lair of living corpses?"
Xu Nan began to search for knowledge about Paradise Lost.
It really made him find a lot of knowledge about living corpses, but none of them could explain the situation in the living corpse swamp.
Even if the plane laws here are abnormal, logically speaking, it will not be able to maintain the activities of so many living corpses.
Xu Nan looked at those living corpses carefully, taking the nearest one as an example, the clothes on his body were tattered, but compared to other living corpses, Xu Nan even saw a familiar spell emblem!
This is the emblem of the School of Shaping Spells!
"Is it the caster?"
Xu Nan was a little surprised.
This discovery made his heart flutter, and he began to observe the clothes on the other living corpses, but unfortunately most of the living corpses were ragged and difficult to identify.
A small number of living corpses have imprints from the major mage schools.
Because this imprint lasts for a long time, it is observed.
"Quite a few of the living corpses were once spellcasters...... Could it be that the living corpses of this thing evolved from the caster? ”
"Otherwise, you won't be able to explain the imprints of these spell schools!"
Xu Nan suddenly realized that he might have touched the truth of some secret thing!
It's close to Stephen Sand...... Does it have something to do with Stephen Sand?
He thought about it, and then he thought of the Blood Cultists and Emma, and the lines in his mind became even more chaotic.
……
Late at night.
In the quagmire where the metal was, a moving straw pole suddenly appeared.
The straw pole lingered near the metal sheet for a long time, and then quickly left.
Gray jerked to his feet, and the rest of the adventurers were aware of it.
Finally, did anyone make a move?
Gray discovers that it is a group of adventurers from Wildfire City, who probably think that they have figured out the movement of living corpses, and use the professional who is good at swimming to get close to them and try to salvage the spaceship under the swamp!
They probably wanted to act quietly, but unfortunately Gray stood up like this, and everyone understood what was going on!
That team of adventurers can't keep a low profile either.
As soon as they gritted their teeth, the captain shouted:
"Pull!"
Not far away, a stout creature let out a deep breath, the rope around his waist suddenly tightened, and suddenly, the metal compartment in the mire was half pulled out!
However, at this time, in the surprised eyes of everyone, a personable figure suddenly appeared on the metal warehouse!
He stood there, without any intention of concealing it, but smiled and said to the crowd:
"Sorry to interrupt your ......"
"But, this is my cloud board!"
The faces of the crowd were very strange.
Xu Nan was very satisfied: Sure enough, they are all dirt buns, I have never seen such a handsome way of appearing, was I shocked?
As a result, at this time, Gray stood up and asked, "Are you sure this is your cloud boarder?" ”
Or ...... Is this a cloud board? ”
Xu Nan was stunned for a moment, he looked down, and his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed!
Yes, there are no cloud ships at all.
There is only a lone metal warehouse!
