Chapter 112: Cursed Swamp

Soon, Ryan had enough understanding of the injuries of the mercenary in front of him, when he was fighting in Thor's Fortress and the imperial capital, he didn't know how many corpses and wounded he had seen, and naturally he had a sufficient understanding of the injuries to the human body, but in the priest's account, although there were many wounds on the mercenary in front of him, they were all caused by the teeth and claws of the monster, not fatal injuries, what really made them look like they are now is the poison in their bodies.

For detoxification, Ryan had nothing to do, he was not a priest, and he didn't know how to heal, so Ryan had to sigh and slowly stand up. He looked at the priest beside him, nodded slightly in gratitude, and then said to the fat merchant with a nervous expression: "What did your people find in them when they saw the two of them? Don't tell me that there is nothing, you will just rely on two mercenaries who are not very conscious after being poisoned, and you will leave the caravan in your hand and lead the team into the dangerous place of the Cursed Swamp?"

The fat merchant's face showed a hesitant expression, but after thinking twice, he gritted his teeth and took out a wood-carved box from his body and handed it to Ryan. Ryan didn't take it with his hands, but Moses, who was standing on the side, took it solemnly with both hands, and then walked out with the wooden box in his hand.

Soon everyone came to the outside of the tent, Moses had already two guards wearing stainless steel armor holding the wooden box dozens of meters away, after Ryan nodded slightly, one of the guards gently opened the wooden box, a dark green halo suddenly shrouded the guard's face, everyone present was moved, Ryan even blurted out: "Forest Emerald!"

After Ryan said this, he realized that the color of this halo was slightly different from that of the forest jadeite, and the halo of the forest jade should be a soft emerald green, and although this halo was green, it was more dark green. At this time, the two guards had already checked the entire box and its contents, and after confirming that there was no danger, they placed it on a large wooden plate and presented it to Ryan.

Ryan took a closer look and found that this gem was smooth and round, and the dark green color scattered throughout the body made him feel cool under the midday sun, and it seemed that it was also a valuable gemstone. Ryan opened his mouth and asked, "This gem shouldn't be a forest jade, do you know its name?"

Although Ryan didn't name him, the fat merchant knew that Ryan was asking himself, so he said, "Lord Fabia, I can't confirm it, but based on my years of experience, it should be a piece of sea lang jade, which is the same grade as the forest jade. ”

Ryan closed his eyes and carefully experienced the sea Lang jade in the wooden box in front of him, and sure enough, he felt a trace amount of water element leaking out from it, it seems that this should be a piece of sea Lang jade with "water" attributes, if it is used to make magic items, Ryan is confident that he can make a powerful armor with this jade as the core.

However, this piece of jadeite belonged to the fat merchant after all, so Ryan opened his eyes and said to Vivian and the others beside him: "This piece of jadeite is indeed very good, you all take a look, and return it to him after reading it, you can appreciate the good things, there is no need to have it." ”

Vivien and Adela had been coveting that gem for a long time, and immediately rushed forward after Ryan spoke, admiring the sea emerald side by side, as for Adams and the others, there was naturally no need to join in the fun with the two women, so they still followed Ryan's side, and they heard Ryan keep asking about the details of this jadeite, Adams and Carter glanced at each other, obviously guessing what Ryan was thinking.

Sure enough, as the two of them had guessed, Ryan came to Adams and Carter's side after asking, and his first words were, "I want to go to the Cursed Swamp to see." Adams and Carter didn't answer immediately, but looked at each other again, and then Adams gently tugged at Larain's sleeve and motioned for him to come and say something.

Ryan walked out about 50 meters behind Adams and Carter, surrounded by flat ground, the members of the caravan were busy on the other side, and the guards on Cassano's side did not follow under Ryan's signal. Looking at Adams and Carter in front of him, Ryan smiled slightly and said, "What is so important to come here?"

"Do you know anything about the Cursed Swamp?" Adams began.

Ryan spread his hands and said, "Obviously, I'm hearing it for the first time today. ”

Adams lowered his voice and said to Ryan, "I know what you think, but the Cursed Swamp is too dangerous. In fact, the Swamp of the Damned was not called that before, and during the era of the Hundred Years' War, it was the site of the Temple of the Apocalypse, the sacred site of the Kyidrama Empire, one of the Seven Kingdoms. In fact, at that time, our Cassano Plain was simply the pastures of the Kuidrama Empire. ”

"Oh, I see!" Ryan didn't know much about the history of the Hundred Years' War, so he listened to Adams explain the situation to him with relish.

"Twenty years ago, legions of the undead swept across the continent, coming from the Hengduan Mountains to the west and heading east. The damned bones were slaughtered everywhere they went, and the humans who died in battle were transformed into new skeleton warriors by the lichs in the legion, and the entire army of the undead grew in number. ”

"The most elite troops of the Kyidrama Empire are the Templars, although they only number 3,000 people, but each of them is the elite of the elite, these Templars usually do not participate in the disputes of the Empire at all, they only exist to protect the sacred land of the Kyidrama Empire, that is, the predecessor of the Cursed Swamp, the Temple of the Apocalypse in the center of the Silent Jungle. ”

"With the undead legions expanding and advancing on one side, and the Templars who won't leave the Temple of the Apocalypse no matter what, war naturally broke out in the Silent Jungle. I'm afraid no one knows the specific situation of the battle, because no humans survived that war, but with the millions of troops of the undead legion, it actually consumed a whole month here, and I have to say that those Templars are too powerful. ”

"There is a theory, probably the most widely circulated by now, that the leader of the Legion of the Dead, the Grand Demon Lord Aleister Kaslavin, lost his patience and his chief brain, the demigod Lich Conse, launched a dark ritual to kill all the Templars guarding it with powerful forbidden spells, and the former Silent Jungle was turned into a swamp due to the curse.
