After the boat traveled hundreds of miles along the river, the mountains on both sides gradually increased, and later, almost all of them were continuous mountains, and the cliffs covered the sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Water is the origin of life, and the reason why the two river basins are so populous is because our shamans purify the water source to ensure the minimum water demand of human beings. For this research, we needed to collect many samples along the way, and the task was not dangerous, but it was very difficult. ”

The boat stopped at a low ferry crossing in the mountains, and Mithlanda explained: "It's called the Muddy Water Mine, so you can work in groups of two, bring sampling tools, and go collect samples." ”

Everyone answered, returned to the cabin, dressed neatly, and disembarked one after another.

The boat has its own boatmen to take care of it, so they don't have to worry about it.

At this time, it was the rainy season, and it was raining lightly in the sky.

Lucien tugged at his waterproof cloak, beware of rain that might seep into his skin. Although a first-class wizard apprentice can resist energy radiation, he will also get sick if he is exposed to it for a long time.

In pairs, Lucien was accompanied by a senior named Little York, who was two years older than Lucian.

Lucien remembered that when he was a child, during the rainy season, he sat in front of his family's shop every day, and every few days, he could see the ox cart pulling the corpses covered with straw mattresses to the outside of the town, and said with some emotion: "Hmm...... This season, it is estimated that many people will die again. ”

Little York didn't dare to be interested in Lucian's topic, and he didn't care about the life or death of mortals, he came out just to do the task, urging: "Lucian, let's hurry up and go back early after completing the mission." ”

In its early years, the mine was an open-pit copper mine, but it has been abandoned for a long time after the copper mine was exhausted, leaving only the large pitted pits on the bare mountains.

The stagnant water in the large pit, permeated with red copper ore, was always reddish and looked somewhat like diluted human blood.

It's already some way from the dock, and the two of them have discussed, and there is no danger nearby, so it will be more efficient to collect it when they are scattered.

Even though it was noon, the weather was still gray and slightly frightening.

Lucien took the utensils out of his leather backpack, took some stagnant water from the pit, and some gravel from the ground, loaded it, and put it back in the backpack.

He stood up, patted the rain on his cloak, and walked towards the next spot.

It's a lot of work.

If it weren't for the internship opportunity, I really wouldn't want to come.

Lucien was a little helpless.

I did it like this, and the time passed slowly, from morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, and I drank a few sips of the spirits I carried with me in the middle to dispel the cold on my body.

Didn't eat because it was raining all the time, so it was inconvenient to eat

Lucien bent down and used tweezers to take the corpse of an unknown dead insect on the ground and put it in a glass bottle. At this time, there was the sound of broken footsteps behind him, and Lucien immediately turned around alertly, and put his hand on the hilt of the sword, seeing that it was Lilian, although the hand was lowered from the hilt, but the vigilance in his heart was mentioned to the apex.

It's full of rolling hills, and Little York is out of Lucien's sight. In other words, only Lucien and Lillian are left alone.

Lucien pretended to be casual and asked, "Lillian, why are you here?"

"You seem to have been avoiding me these days. ”

Lucien put the glass bottle containing the bug in his backpack and said with a smile, "Delusion." ”

"You know what, Lucian. Lillian's voice suddenly became sharp.

Lucien was stunned when he heard this, his hand regained control of the hilt of his sword, and he took a step back vigilantly.

"Why are you so nervous? Don't be nervous, I'm just asking for your help. ”

Lucien waved his hand and motioned for Lillian not to go any further, saying, "Just stand there and say something." ”

"Didn't you guess that day?"

Lucien flatly denied: "I don't know anything, and you don't tell me anything." ”

"There are some things you have to listen to if you don't listen, remember that day?"

Lucien was stunned, a little unsure of the meaning of Lillian's words.

"That day, I got a clue about the dream mirror from Guda's hand, and he thought that if others couldn't get it, I wouldn't get it, but he didn't know that my ancestors had a key clue. But I won't go into details, I got this demonic artifact as I wished, but I didn't expect it to have a powerful curse on it. ”

Lillian's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and she scolded a little frantically, "Damn it, that damn treasure collector, deliberately set a trap on it, and the person who gets the mirror will inevitably fall for that curse." Now, I must sacrifice fresh souls to the Mirror Spirit to delay the curse. ”

"I'm just a little first-class wizard apprentice, why don't you find someone else?" Lucien looked innocent.

"To lift the curse of this level, at least level 1 witchcraft potion is required, this potion requires nearly 1200 magic stones, do you think anyone will give it to me for free?"

"But even if you kill me, I don't have a magic stone in my hand, how can I help you. ”

"Kill you, what are you doing, I just need your help. Of course, we are also equivalent exchanges, so you don't have to worry about losing money. You help me, and I'll pay you some of my family's knowledge of wizarding in return, rich in payment. ”

Lucien pretended to be excited and asked, "What are the specific plans?"

"Of course, in the final assessment this time, in addition to the regular rewards, His Royal Highness the second-level wizard specially gave a middle-level demonic object as a prize, and whoever gets the first place will be able to get this demonic artifact. All I need to do is get this artifact, and I'll be able to raise enough magic stones when I sell it. ”

Lucien sounded a little wrong, if you sell the soul sucking mirror in your hand, you will be rich, so why bother to compete for the first place in the final assessment.

Lucien didn't break his mouth, thinking of Lillian's means of killing Princess Aurora , Lucien knew that he could only agree on the spot to leave here. However, it seemed a little too false to agree immediately, and Lucien asked: "Although I told me in my heart that I should agree, I don't understand why I was looking for a student of ordinary strength. ”

Lilian's face became more and more gloomy, obviously, Lucian's question made her feel a little impatient, and said, "First, you have discovered my secret, and I don't want the news of my curse to be spread;

Lucien nodded approvingly, and said, "Can you ask one last question?"

"Pay for a full set of will characters plus a zero-level spell template in advance, and add 200 magic stones afterwards, it's enough. ”

"It's too little, add another 200 magic stones, and I'll agree. ”

Lucien knew that the more he bargained, the more sincere he became.

"You're greedy, give, your reward. ”

Lucien subconsciously took the burlap bag thrown by Lilian, and before he could reach the bag, he felt a burst of fragrance coming to his nose and his head was heavy.

Sensing that something was wrong, Lucien wanted to pull out his long sword to fight back, but found that he had no strength in his body.

"Warning...... Muscle relaxation...... Neuronal conduction velocity decreases. Warn...... The host is nearing a comatose state. ”

"Lucian, I'm not stupid if you're smart, look at this mirror in my hand. ”

Lucian's body was dangling, and he couldn't keep his spirits up at all, let alone fight back, and he didn't even have the strength to close his eyes.

I only felt that a white light flashed in front of him, and his body followed the white light, swaying and swaying, and then swaying, falling into the infinite abyss.
