Chapter 505: Immortal Fortress
The next day.
Until the mission departed, Lei Luo did not see [Ant King] Lando again, which made Lei Luo quite regretful.
This academician, for Lei Luo, is an existence with a very special status.
As far as Relo knew.
He used to be one of the closest friends with his mentor's mentor, that is, Gubo's mentor, and because of this relationship, when Gubo was promoted to the position of dean, he also had the credit of this academician's strong recommendation.
"Forget it. ”
With a secret mission assignment, Relo flew towards the Immortal Fortress.
This is the first majestic fortress in the Duchy of Gran for a long time, and it is also the forefront of the confrontation between the Duchy of Grand and the Duchy of Sealand.
Fortunately.
After Lei Luo's efforts, the mission commander has agreed to Lei Luo's request, and within a time limit of 30 days, the [Nightmare Devourer] who broke into the territory of the Principality of Zealand will be brought back to the military headquarters to prepare for the final battle.
The round-trip journey, even if Lei Luo is at the fastest speed, it will take about seven or eight days, so the time that can be handed over to Lei Luo to operate is only half a month.
Seven days later.
When Relo arrives at the Immortal Fortress.
I have to admit that compared to the Immortal Fortress, the Crucible Fortress is nothing more than that.
Just the tall tower, there are actually three of them standing side by side in the Immortal Fortress!
"Academician Lei Luo!"
After announcing his identity, after a while, the old general led a group of generals to come, and the surrounding soldiers showed surprise when they saw so many high-ranking generals come out to greet them.
Among the generals, there were several scholar advisors.
When these people heard that the military department had sent this famous and legendary academician to the fortress, they were all surprised and excited.
"The master was ordered by His Majesty to come and garrison the Immortal Fortress?"
The old general is quite cool.
Lei Luo actually felt an aura similar to M from his body.
This is a strong man, the true powerhouse of the principality, the samurai physique and spirit can be cultivated to this extent, even a grand duchy like Gran may be difficult to find a second one, this is the standard template for the dragon slayer warriors in ancient times to establish a temple and become a god after they achieved heroic legends.
"Hehe, Your Majesty believes that the generals will be able to protect the safety of the fortress, and those who are stationed in the immortal fortress in turn will be stationed in another person, and after a while, there will be another person, I am here for another task, this is an order. ”
After being a little polite, Lei Luo handed over the transfer order to the old general, and his eyes turned to look at the three towers in the distance.
Not for a while.
The old general looked disappointed and said regretfully: "In this case, if the master has any needs, even if he instructs several chief magician advisors, the fortress will do its best to meet them. ”
"Good. ”
After Lei Luo responded, only a few of the fortress's high mage advisors were left on the scene, and the faint threatening aura from these people was not difficult to sense, these were obviously well-known transcendent scholars.
"Master, please!"
Greeted by a few people, Lei Luo and a few people first chatted casually about the current situation of the Crucible Fortress, and only after coming to the upper floors of a fortress tower did they start to talk about business.
"What's the news about the [Nightmare Devourer] Nightmare Academician, Immortal Fortress?"
Several people glanced at each other.
One of the female scholars, and the only one of the seven in the room, blinked cat-eyed jewel-like eyes, and her face was a little ugly.
"Three days ago, the [Nightmare Devourer] Master Nightmare was ordered by the King of Sealand to deliver to the God of War Fortress, but the [Sandstorm Master] who was stationed in the God of War Fortress on duty this time was a conservative member of the academic inheritance of Gauss Adolf's laws of nature, and the radical faction of the [Bioexterminator] Sicily, so the [Nightmare Devourer] Master Nightmare was detained in the God of War Fortress, and the other party released a message, asking us to give us enough ransom to release the people, and the fortress had sent the [Night Watchman] two days ago Master Qiu used to negotiate. ”
Oh?
Lei Luo said: "So, the original intention of the Principality of Sealand, at least the [Biological Exterminator] Sicily agreed to release the people, but this [Sandstorm Master] detained him privately?"
"It should be so, as for whether it is the Principality of Sealand's instructions, it's hard to say. ”
Another scholar advised: "Negotiation is inevitable, it's just a matter of cost, otherwise the Principality of Sealand would not have imprisoned the academicians here." ”
Saying that, after the white-bearded scholar hesitated, he couldn't help but say, "Master, what is the situation of the war in the province of Dolbit, even the Academician of the Nightmare was forced to flee to the Principality of Sealand?"
"Rest assured. ”
Lei Luo said: "It's just that the Ghost Master went deep behind the enemy to assassinate and failed, and was pursued by many ancient creatures, the main force of the Duchy Legion is progressing quite smoothly, and has recaptured a lot of lost territory, and is heading towards the core area of the monster invasion, I believe that in a few months, good news will be received here." ”
Lei Luo's rather confident words relieved several people present.
At night.
After returning to the Immortal Fortress, Master Qiu, the [Night Watchman] who was in charge of going to the God of War Fortress to negotiate, came to the room where Lei Luo was located as soon as he learned that the person who came to the fortress to be in charge of this task was Academician [Sun Power] Lei Luo.
"How's the Ghost Master?"
Lei Luo immediately asked with concern.
The Night's Watch is a transcendent scholar in a black cloak, wearing an X-mask and revealing eyes.
"Academician Nightmare is all right, only suffered some minor injuries, and the Principality of Sealand did not embarrass the academician. Master Romy, the Sandstorm Master, said that it would take our principality to pay fifteen million gold coins before he would be able to return the master. ”
"Fifteen million gold coins?"
Lei Luo frowned and muttered, this is not a small amount.
The Principality's tax revenue is about one billion gold coins a year, and about 5% of the money invested in the military field in a normal year, that is, 50 million gold coins, even in wartime, is only about 200 million gold coins, otherwise the national order will completely collapse.
Now the Principality of Sealand is fifteen million gold coins in one mouth!
That's almost enough to build ten heavily armed balloon airships.
Of course, no matter what the cost, Lei Luo must also save the [Nightmare Devourer], and it is not a matter of gold.
If these gold coins snub the academician's heart and make him switch to the Principality of Sealand, the loss to the Principality is not just a matter of gold coins.
After pondering for a long time, Lei Luo suddenly looked up and looked at the [Night Watch].
"Contact Master Romy, the [Sandstorm Master] of the Principality of Sealand, and in two days, I am willing to personally negotiate with the [Nightmare Devourer] Master of Nightmares. ”
"Yes!"
After the Night Watch left, Lei Luo went straight to the Intelligence Office.
"Bring up all the information of the Duchy of Sealand's [Sandstorm Master] Romy. ”
The intelligence department acted quite quickly, and after a short while, it dispatched what Lei Luo needed for Lei Luo to peruse.
The God of War Fortress and the Immortal Fortress are both the largest fortresses in the Duchy of Sealand and Gran.
The reason for this is not just because of the humans of the two countries, but because this is one of the famous dangerous places in the Starfall Land, the Abyss of Death!
In the abyss of death, it is extremely cold.
It is said that when it comes to the deepest part, except for a few Royal Academicians of Sealand, the natural law who controls the power of flames, and a few Royal Academicians of Evolutionary Mystery Gran, who have strong vitality, can penetrate deeply, the rest of them will be difficult to advance because of the severe cold.
Lei Luo remembered that among the many S-class quests he had seen in the Mercenary Hall, there was a quest to go deep into the abyss of death to find the ancient bones, and the reward was six million gold coins, plus the Elder of St. Granburg's Gladiatorial Arena for Life, and the Yellow Spring Bird Mount.
This shows how difficult this task is.
The value of the ancient demon bones taken out of this extremely cold death abyss is probably not under some treasure-level magic guide substances for some scholars who have mastered the power of ice.
It's scary.
In the abyss of death, it is said that because of this special cold, in addition to the extremely terrifying ice creatures that have evolved in the abyss, there are also some terrifying unknown creatures at the bottom, even Antonio, Gauss Adolf, the pioneers, and dangerous creatures that have returned from the feathers!
Gradually.
Time passes.
When Lei Luo flipped through the information of the [Sandstorm Master] and saw one of the pages, his eyes suddenly froze, revealing a look of thought.
When this [Sandstorm Master] was young, he had a bloodline, a very outstanding scholar of the laws of nature, and he had obtained the Extraordinary Scholar Degree Certificate with him, and he could be regarded as one of the most eye-catching flame academic researchers in the Principality of Sealand.
It proposes the academic insight of stimulating the flames with the cold and weaving the laws of nature in the subtleties.
It's just a pity.
After entering the abyss of death once, he never came out again, and a generation of genius scholars died.
Later, after the [Sandstorm Master] obtained the degree of Royal Academician of Sealand, he turned to several famous flame scholars in the Principality of Sealand at any cost, but unfortunately he found nothing, until in the end, he was also disheartened, and only applied to be stationed in the God of War Fortress every once in a while to pay tribute to his son.
"Perhaps, you can try it in this direction. ”
Rubbing his tired forehead, Lei Luo muttered.
