The original twilight oil marsh is rich in oil and burning crystalline black ore, and the gnomes and goblins have been drilling and mining in this area for nearly a thousand years, and the geology of this land has gradually become prone to collapse, so the goblin consortium of the western continent came up with a bad idea to pour asphalt into the dry oil wells to support the collapsed geology. A large number of asphalt factories were then opened, but the mining of oil wells and burning crystalline black ore did not stop, and the disaster finally occurred in a rare thunderstorm.

Under the erosion of the torrential rain, the geology collapsed slightly, and then the thunderstorm ignited the combustible substances rich in the ground, and the combustion crystals did not need oxygen to burn, but because these black ores were still buried deep underground, the combustion contact surface was limited, so it did not cause a big explosion, but the heat released by the slow combustion was enough to melt the asphalt, and as the terrain collapsed, the rain began to gather here into a lake, and the oil continued to emerge from the ground, and mixed with the melted asphalt, plus the burning pigment crystals in the ground continued to bake, this area is really bad and can't be worse。

Of course, this is terrible from a human point of view, and for some races, this is a paradise, such as the tribe of sludge giants.

Ulukan is comfortably soaked in the steaming sludge pool, the highest in the giant clan is undoubtedly the Titan Giant, because he carries a trace of the blood of the Titan Giant, although Ulukan is not yet an adult, he has a very high status in the Sludge Giant tribe, and the bloodline ability he activates is also a little different from the ordinary sludge giant, faintly with a trace of thunder.

The bubbles in the oil mud pool tumbled a few times, and a blue-black adult sludge giant emerged from the tumbling oil slurry, and he sighed comfortably and said, "Little Ulukan, without those damn lizardmen to disturb you, life is really comfortable during this time." ”

In addition to these sludge giants, the only creatures interested in the twilight oil marsh are the swamp lizardmen, and the sludge giant tribe has been powerless in the face of the lizardmen's endless harassment for many years, and those agile little creatures make their bulky bodies unable to exert their due strength, but some time ago, when those lizardmen attacked the twilight oil marsh, they ran into a big problem, when attacking the giant tribe, they wanted to plot against a young human girl who settled on the edge of the oil marsh, that girl has been at peace with the sludge giants, and Ulukan even wanted to remind her at that time。

But before the lizardmen could surround them, a terrifying figure burst out of the oil swamp, spewing out a pale storm with milky gray cloudy poisonous juice that swept away the lizardmen in front of them in a few strokes, and under the double blow of the whirlwind and poison, the lizardmen were not even left with any residue, and then the figure picked up the human girl under the shocked gaze of the defending sludge giants, and jumped away like a toad.

A few days later, the enraged lizardmen tribe gathered their entire army and was about to fight the sludge giants to the death, and the endless war had just begun, and another human came, and after checking the traces of the battle around him, he slaughtered all the creatures he could see in anger, but fortunately the giants dived deep into the quagmire and avoided the sight of the man, and they escaped, but the attacking lizardmen suffered heavy losses, except for those who scattered and fled, the rest were reduced to silt and became part of the twilight oil swamp forever

"Don't mention the lizardmen, Quarro, the power of those two humans makes me feel oily when I think about it now. Ulukan rolled up and said, "Especially what happened to the big birds that came in later, but recently."

"I don't know, those birds won't stop at the oil marsh anyway. Quaro rinsed his mouth with oil mud and said vaguely, "Fortunately, humans are not very interested in this quagmire"

Just as Kwaro rinsed his mouth, the boiling steam above the quagmire was suddenly dispersed by the air current, and with the sound of a huge propeller, a huge steam airship slowly descended, and the steam engine on one side of the airship emitted black smoke, as if it had been split by lightning.

With a pop, the airship fell lightly into the mire, and the oil sludge immediately knocked over the two sluggish sludge giants, Ulukan struggled to get up again, wiped the grease off his face vigorously, and then saw several people standing on the edge of the airship deck looking at him, he pushed Quarro uneasily, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say that humans are not very interested in this side, why is there another group, and there is an elf!"

Heras glanced back at the sweaty goblin Marin, who immediately shrieked and explained, "It's not my fault, honorable sir!

"Emma Scholar, it is true that the Ptarmigan has never passed through the Land of Strife, and I don't know why this is the case. Glelenya said worriedly, "It looks like the Land of Strife is going to be even more chaotic"

It's been a week since they entered the Land of Discord in a steam airship, the speed of the airship is a little faster than that of a mid-level mage, and with the intelligence of Marin's skilled stewards and the city of Northerydan, they have avoided the area where the war is taking place in time, but as they approach the twilight oil marsh, a large group of ptarmigans migrated in front of them, and there were even some lightning eagles among them!

The Lightning Eagle Knight is the main air force of the Odin Empire, as the old opponent of the Desert Eagle Knight, the Quicksand Empire knows a lot about the surname of the flying monster of the Lightning Eagle, and it is with this understanding that Heras has commanded the airship to avoid the Thunderbird swarm without danger, otherwise under those overwhelming lightning strikes, even ordinary master professionals may die, but one side of the airship's engine is still unfortunately destroyed by the magic lightning.

Heras frowned and listened to the faint birdsong in the sky, the group of thunderbirds lingered in the land of conflict, it seems that they are preparing to build a nest here, this is really a big trouble, the flying monster settlements that can be domesticated in the Western Continent are basically occupied by the Elven Empire, these suddenly migrating thunderbird groups are undoubtedly rare flying mount resources, and soon the news will spread to all regions of the Western Continent, and the swarming hunters will completely turn the land of conflict into a bloodstained place, maybe for these thunderbirds, many countries in the Western Continent will wage war against the land of conflict, especially those countries that lack air forces

"Will the Elven Empire be interested in these Thunderbirds?" Heras said thoughtfully, those Thunderbirds looked frightened, and they certainly didn't take the initiative to migrate.

"The Elven Empire has a lot of specialized flying monster domestication grounds, and the possibility of intervening is not big, I don't think the high-level will risk intervening in the land of strife for the sake of these thunderbirds, we don't like war. Gleilenya shook her head slightly, not very sure.

"As long as the Elven Empire doesn't intervene, all parties should not act rashly, but these Thunderbirds are a huge temptation for any regime that doesn't have a flying demonic beast domestication land, and they can't endure it for long. Heras nodded, and said solemnly: "Let's go to the city of Noseridan, don't fly, those thunderbirds don't know what stimulated them, it's better to stay away from them." ”

Although most of the people hovering in the sky are thunderbirds, and there are only a small number of lightning eagles, Heras will not ignore the power of that kind of raptor, in the history of the war of the quicksand empire, the group army composed of elite desert eagle knights has killed even legendary powerhouses, and the ability of lightning eagles is comparable to that of desert eagles

"Fortunately, those thunderbirds don't have knights to control them," Gleilenya sighed with palpitations, the bloodline knights who control the flying monsters themselves have the extraordinary bloodline of their mounts, and many knights use their bloodline abilities more powerful than their mounts, and the combat power shown by each other is not something that those stragglers can fight

"Honorable sir, I am familiar with the journey to the city of Northeredan!" interjected the goblin Marin, a murky shriek, now that the airship was destroyed, he had to do his best to show his worth, lest the big men be upset and slaughter him.

But Heras was not ready to leave immediately, as soon as the airship descended, he smelled a strong smell of asphalt in the oil marsh, and the family library did not have much record of it, if there was a large amount of asphalt, he wanted to see if he could find something in it, the most bloody turmoil in the land of strife was about to begin, and he had to do his best to protect himself.

"Do you know the history of this oil marsh, Marlin, where did the smell of asphalt come from?" asked Heras in a flat tone.

Seeing that the employer had finally spoken to him, the goblin shook up and said loudly, "Of course I know, sir, this place was originally called the Twilight Oilfield, and it was the common energy base of the Northeredan Technicians Association and the Goblin Ventures Foundation," Marin said as he pulled out an engineering waterproof notebook from his waist and handed it to Heras.

Heras took a look and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and Glelenya glanced at the corners of his eyes a few times, and turned his head unnaturally and walked away Marlin's engineering waterproof notebook did not contain any knowledge and records about the project, basically some chaotic work processes and scribbled colored content, basically fantasizing about the female surnames of various tall races, one of which even drew a goblin under the iron skirt of a sleeping female titan, it seems that this goblin's ambition is really not small

Finally, on a page above the background of goblins tying up the vampire princess, Heras found what he wanted to see, but this background was a bit scary, the vampire princes were at least legendary powerhouses, and in this background, the goblin made his mouth open and screamed, and showed two delicate fangs

After carefully reading all the histories about the Twilight Oil Marsh, Heras casually threw the notes back, "How much do you know about the special asphalt that produces the dwarf deathray device?"

"Honorable sir, it seems that you should be a little confused about the terminology of engineering technology, asphalt is asphalt, there is no concept of special asphalt, but sometimes some damage surname substances can be purified from asphalt, but this situation is rare, we can collect those damage surname substances obtained by chance to make powerful weapons. Marin gushed that being able to understand something that Emma didn't know filled him with confidence

"Oh, what's that substance that hurts the surname?" asked Heras with interest.

"Concentrated asphalt!" Marin said in a majestic voice, and then added to prove his authority, "This is the result of research by all the top technicians of gnomes and goblins!"

"Understood" Heras ended the conversation with a blank face, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Stupid, that's bitumen uranium"

In their summaries of the study of the sun in each plane, the Pillars of the Void unanimously confirmed that the sun is a pure energy star separated from the origin of the plane. Heras's analysis of the results of the study did not reveal any characteristics associated with nuclear reactions, and since even the sun had not had a nuclear reaction, Heras was skeptical about the existence of a critical mass in the magical universe.

Even if there is a critical mass, it is a luxury to master atomic energy at his current level of strength, but since there is such a device as the gnome death ray, then some schemes should be usable, although that device seems very crude to Heras, and the gnomes can't figure out what exactly is working in the so-called 'concentrated asphalt', but this undoubtedly proves that in this strange universe, there are also radioactive elements, but in the magical world, the caste quality may be a little different.
