To the north of the province of San Carlos, across the vast Burning Plains, at the northernmost end is the Purple Green Mountains, which straddle the provinces of San Carlos and Sloit, and the westernmost part is closely linked to the eastern foothills of the Pai Plateau, where the peaks of the mountains are surrounded by poisonous swamps all year round.

It is said that the Purple Green Mountains were incarnated by the spine of an ancient archdemon, who was slain by the Angel of Destiny Isharel during the Eternal War, and just when his body was on the verge of destruction, his body caused a vast spatial storm. In order to prevent the ancient archdemon from causing the plane to collapse, Destiny Heaven used divine power to seal the remnants of this great demon and forcibly quell this space storm.

The years have changed, and after tens of thousands of years, the remnants of the ancient great demon have turned into a purple and green mountain range, and the purple and green mountain range is full of spatial rifts swimming around, and the diluted demonic qi in the mountain range continues to demonize all kinds of beasts, causing this mountain range of demonic beasts to run rampant, even the most elite royal constructed knights of the Green Empire do not dare to enter the purple green mountain range easily.

The mountain range is like a fishbone, piercing deep into the northern region of the Grimm Empire from the eastern foothills of the Pai Plateau.

At the same time, it has become a natural boundary between the provinces of San Carlos and Sloit.

After the failure of the original rebellion in the province of Sloyt, the rebels were pursued by the knights of the North Wind Legion, and were forced to hide in the purple green mountains. They have been roaming around the mountainous areas on the edge of the Ziqing Mountains, where the environment is treacherous, and the western part of the Ziqing Mountains borders the Pai Plateau, and many villages are inhabited by orcs and humans, so it is not uncommon for humans to have orc blood in the mountain villages.

In order to maintain their own combat effectiveness, the rebels continued to recruit some young mountain people from the mountains to join the rebels.

Even so, the rebel army in this very harsh living environment of the Ziqing Mountains continue to attrition, some of the rebel veterans have died one after another, the new army that joined the rebel army has long been unaware of the original beliefs and purposes of this rebel army, the rebel leader Hande has always wanted to reverse this predicament, but unfortunately in this harsh environment, even survival seems so difficult, other aspects are even more difficult to solve.

In recent years, the rebels have migrated thousands of kilometers along the edge of the Ziqing Mountain Range, and they still can't avoid the monsters in the mountains.

It was under this circumstance that the leaders of the Darkmoon Gate approached the Northern Rebels, and the leader of the Darkmoon Gate made a condition to the rebel leader Hand, who could not refuse, if the rebels were willing to help the Darkmoon Gate find a red dragon treasure in the Paglos Mountains, then the Darkmoon Gate would gather the power of the six great mages to create a temporary portal to other small planes, allowing all the rebels to leave the Roland Continent.

To this end, Hand, the leader of the rebels in the north, agreed to send nearly 500 cavalry to Bena Province, and cooperated with the magicians of the Dark Moon Gate to obtain all the clues to the Red Dragon Treasure, and after a series of twists and turns and bizarre investigations, he finally found the descendants of the original hero Bradbury in Bena Province, and his descendants actually settled in Bena City, and became an old nobleman who has always had an ancient heritage.

It's just that the Bradbury family has not had a great figure in the last two hundred years, so this old family has gradually declined and is about to sink into the dust of history.

The magicians of the Darkmoon Gate led the rebel knights of the North to sack the Bradbury family in Bena City, and obtained the Bradbury family's most precious treasure, a magic crystal containing the treasure of the red dragon, from the family's oldest showroom.

In addition, a fragment of a magical parchment map was recovered from the current heir of the Bradbury family.

The day after the ransacking of the Bradbury family, a squad of traitors appeared among the rebel knights, who took the fragment of the map with them overnight, and the traitor squad consisted of twenty-two rebels, who fled in eleven double squads and fled from Bednar City in all directions.

One of the rebel fleeing duos chose to flee from the city of Bena to the city of Highlandza, then through the barren lands of the city of Highlands, and along the mountains of Paglos to leave the province of Bena, but they were caught by Surdak as they passed through the barren lands.

Shortly after the city of Highlanza sent knights to pick up the two rebels, on the way back to the city of Highlandza, the two rebels were killed by the Grand Wizard of the Dark Moon Gate, Kirdon, who hurried to the city of Highlandza, but the Grand Magician Kirdon did not recover the map fragments from them. Therefore, the wizard of Kirdon is ready to go to the village of Wall to investigate the clues of the map fragments.

However, the Grand Magician's investigation method was a little rough, he summoned a squadron of rebel cavalry to charge with him into the village of Wall, but was confronted by Surdak and his security squad, the wizard of Kirden seriously underestimated Surdak's personal strength, and the entire squadron of rebel cavalry and the wizard of Kirden fell in the village of Wall.

In addition to the map fragments, the Darkmoon Gate also lost an archmage and lost a precious magic crystal from the archmage.

Suddenly, the Darkmoon Gate's highest informant in Bena Province had died, and the news needed to be passed to the Darkmoon Gate headquarters, which would resend a mage to take charge of the matter.

As a senior investigator of the rebel intelligence department, Ludwig needs to learn as much as he can about the village of Wall and Baron Surdak before the new head of the Darkmoon Gate arrives, so he will infiltrate an adventuring group and infiltrate the village of Wall.

……

That's all the succubus Aphrodi learned from Ludwig, and the succubus' hypnotism caused the rebel intelligence agent to spit out all the information he knew.

Surdak sat in his chair and listened to Aphrodite tell all the information he had heard, and only then did he know how hot the magic crystal was, and he knew that he would hand it over anyway.

The half-elf leaned against the window, sitting on the wide windowsill, she thought about it seriously before saying: "The so-called red dragon treasure and the sword of Quelsera hidden in the mountains of Paglos must have a necessary connection, do you think that after the hero slayed the dragon, he buried his epic long sword and those red dragon treasures in the mountain?" ”

Surdak touched the handle of the blood-red crescent in his hand, shook his head, and said:

"I don't think it's likely...... If there was such a treasure, maybe the Bradbury family would not have declined so quickly, and what was the use of burying the treasure in the mountains? ”

He felt a little headache when he thought that it wouldn't be long before a great magician of the same level as Gordon Magician would come to Wall Village again.

The wizard of Kirdon was killed with the help of Count Fornack, but he could not ask Count Fornak for help every time the magician of the Darkmoon Gate came to the village of Wall.

Surdak rubbed his forehead and said, "Now is not the time to talk about the Red Dragon Treasure, now we have to discuss how to solve the big trouble in our hands, we can't sit still in Wall Village, wait for them to come to the door again and again, maybe the next time we will find the door will be two strong people like the two Kirden magicians." ”

Andrew the Indigenous warrior said, "So what do we do? You can't move out! ”

Aphrodite, the succubus who was lying on the wicker chair, supported her body with one hand, sat up from the wicker chair, and said to Surdak, "Otherwise, find an opportunity to hand over the magic crystal...... It's useless anyway. ”

It was Aphrodite's reluctance to hand over the magic crystal in the first place that kept this hot potato in his hand.

Surdak frowned, he didn't want to have a bad reputation for hiding secrets, once this kind of thing spreads, it will be a stain on his life, so he said: "After so long, I have to find a reason, the last time I handed over two rebels, I almost turned the city of Highlandsa upside down, once the news of the magic crystal is made public, I don't know what kind of storm it will cause......"

That was his last concern.

"I want to go to Bednar City and return this magic crystal to the Bradbury family, which can be regarded as returning it to its original owner." Surdak decided to send the magic crystal back to Bena City, and said, "I'm just a little worried that something will happen in the village that you can't handle while I'm away. ”

The succubus Aphrodi sat across from Surdak and said casually, "If you only worry about this, then you don't have to! Because of the equal symbiosis magic contract, as long as I stay in Wall Village, no matter where you go, I have a way to summon you back, and whether you are in danger or I am in danger, we will feel it, you only need to step through the void door to come to me. ”

“…… Aphrodite, I always felt that something was wrong with this magical contract. Surdak was still a little haunted by the magic contract he had made.

Aphrodite smiled sweetly and said to Surdak, "What's wrong? I think it's okay, if you learn to summon the magic array, you can summon me at any time no matter where you are, we are equal and symbiotic! ”

Hearing the succubus Aphrodite say this, Surdak suddenly felt that he really had nothing to say.

At noon, the ogre Gulitham went around the police station again, and found that Surdak really had no intention of putting Ludwig to death, so he ran back to the Beigou grassland, which was rich in water and grass recently, in addition to the yellow sheep in Wall Village, it also attracted a group of wild camels on the other side of the desert, but the group of wild camels came out day and night, and it was difficult to find a trace, he wanted to squat in the Beigou grassland for a while, catch a wild camel and taste it.

……

Ludwig had been waiting for the Baron Surdak from the Wall Village Sheriff's Office to interrogate him personally.

He also thought about revealing some inconsequential information, maybe telling the situation of the Dark Moon Gate, as long as it didn't damage the rebels, it was okay to say some estimates, it was best to exchange it for freedom, and if they couldn't get it back, they could also be kind to themselves.

But he waited in the dungeon for three days in a row, and found that the other party didn't want to ask him at all, and there was hardly any person in the dungeon except for two meals a day.

Ludwig's mood gradually became irritable, and he lost weight again in just a few days.

Occasionally, there is a heart-rending howl in the dungeon......

……

After Surdak decided to return the magic crystal to the Bradbury family in Burna City.

The next day, he rode to the city of Highlandsa on his Guborian horse, he first went to the airport dock to buy a ticket for an airship, this time it was a good luck, there happened to be a magic airship going to Bena City the next night, Surdak is currently a nobleman, so it is easy to buy a ticket, and it is also a ticket to have a separate room on the deck.

Then he settled down at the Garden Square Hotel, still living in the attic on the top floor.

Carl has been out on a mission for the past few days, and he couldn't find Carl in the guard camp the next morning, so he took a two-month long vacation from Captain Sauron, saying that he was about to go to Bena City, and it was possible to stay there for a week, which was considered a round-trip ship, and he would probably stay in Bena City for a month and a half.

Captain Sauron didn't ask Surdak for details, but just used a quill pen to brush a few strokes on the parchment to sign his name, and Surdak's vacation was officially effective.

Then Captain Sauron took out another piece of magical parchment and wrote a line on it: 'Baron Surdak is my right-hand man, this time I am in Pena City to handle personal affairs, please take care of it!' Then he took out a private seal from the drawer and stamped it carefully on the line.

Captain Sauron tore it into a slip of paper, folded it and handed it to Surdak, telling him, "If you have trouble in Pena City, take this note with you to visit Count Sauron in the fifty-third district." ”

Surdak didn't expect Captain Sauron to give him such a precious note, and said goodbye to Captain Sauron with a touched face.

These days, the city of Highlandsa is very lively, with lights everywhere and some colorful flags hanging on the roofs of various high-rise buildings.

From the mouth of the innkeeper Mrs. Cohen, it was learned that it was the young lady of the Christie family who was about to have a wedding. The Marquis of Christie invited many nobles and celebrities to the city of Highlandsa to attend the wedding of his beloved daughter......

Speaking of which, the proprietress Mrs. Cohen seemed to have a good topic in mind, and began to gush about how many nobles and celebrities would be invited to the wedding, and that the Christie family's castle would be held for a week in a row.

It is said that on the day of the wedding, all the workshops and shops in the city of Highlandsa will be closed.

Surdak remembered the red-haired Miss Darcy, she didn't expect to get married so soon, the last time they met was at the door of the city hall of Highlandsa, and her fiancé said hello to him.

Calculating the time, it seems that I can't make it to this wedding.

But I don't think I got the invitation yet......

Surdak was in his room on the top floor of the inn, pushing open the glass window in the attic, looking at the magnificent castle at the top of the mountain city.
