The two set out from Riverbank Village, crossed most of the territory of the Holy Wing Empire, and after three days and nights of ups and downs, they were finally able to find a place to return to on this trip.

It was a colorful ocean that could not be seen as far as the eye could see, and when the morning sun was about to burst out in the sky and reflected the flawless brilliance of crystals, the whole basin and its surrounding area became as bright and gorgeous as the dream world of a noble man.

"Legend has it that the crystals here are made from the fragments of the fallen stars of the past, and thousands of years have passed, and only this place has been fresh on the entire continent. Morton exclaimed, and by this moment the two had climbed a small mountain, and they looked far away, like devout pilgrims.

Indeed, the scene before me is unimaginable. Ai Suyan's eyes widened: "It's just a basin, but why is it so different?"

I saw the crystals on the mountain peaks bulge abruptly, and some of them even reached into the sky. Countless rays of light radiated from the center of each crystal, making it as brilliant as diamond agate, and all the surrounding scenery seemed to be coated with a colorful halo.

"We are also fortunate to be able to stop here. Morton said, and under his leadership, Prince Essuyan appeared at a place on the outskirts of the basin that served as an entrance.

Then, he finally met the legendary race: the "Crystal Frogmen", all of whom were scattered throughout the Crystal Basin...

They were very small indeed, but they were uniformly clad in blue leather armor and armed with wooden spears, with large eyes that seemed to be ready to see through the real faces of the intruders.

"Twenty years later, I'm back here again, Warren the Wise, are you alright?" Morton muttered suddenly, not without concern.

Then he pulled out an old note from his waist, and when Ai Suyan looked closely, he saw that a line of human script with "Crystal Basin Tourism Permit" engraved on the surface of it, and some strange words that were crooked and unstructured underneath.

One of the nearest frogman guards took the note, and then let out a few cries similar to "melon woo, melon woo", and then the wooden fence at the entrance opened, and Essyan was about to step into it, but was stopped by Morton's hand. "Wait a little longer. He reminded.

Then the frogman guard let out a long yawn, his thick limbs snapped into force, and soon he leapt high onto a crystal above his head, from which he picked up two sets of distinctive blue leather armor.

"Melon House, Melon House..."After landing on the ground, he handed over the leather armor in his hand, and then said to Ai Suyan.

The prince couldn't help but be taken aback. At this time, Morton on the side took the leather armor, and then whispered to Ai Suyan: "He speaks frogman language, in short, these armor can resist the radiation of crystals, hurry up and put them on." ”

"So that means that the note is also full of frogman's words?" asked Ai Suyan, puzzled.

Morton nodded: "The language of the frogmen is extremely ancient, and it is said that its history is equal to that of humans and elves, and all three are the crystallization of the wisdom of the Creator. ”

"By the way, the fawns must also stay outside in the 'item storage', because no vehicles of outside creatures are allowed to enter it except for the merchant vehicles involved in the trade. ”

However, before the words fell, Ai Suyan couldn't wait to rush into it.

I saw that the bright light around me was scattered like the debris of the stars, and the scenery was extremely misty, enough to make people lose their minds instantly. In this bizarre world, it seems that everything revolves around magic crystals.

But how real is the whirring wind around...

At this time, his eyes turned to the right, but suddenly he found an astonishing scene: I saw that near a crystal, two sturdy frogman miners were trying their best to entangle and tear together, and the special mining tools were also thrown aside, and their mouths were uttering fierce shouts of "Guagua House, Guagua House" over and over again, like enemies who shared the sky.

Ai Suyan stared sideways, as if he was quite puzzled.

Morton smiled, his eyes suddenly brightening.

He said with some amusement: "Do you know that the class hierarchy within the Crystal Frogmen is divided by the total wealth of the individual, that is, whoever can sell more crystals to the outside world will have more voice within the group. ”

Then he sighed again: "Therefore, most of the crystal frogmen worked as miners for a period of time at a greater or lesser time when they were young, until the accumulation of wealth made them jump to a high position, and a comfortable life followed. ”

"However, even frogmen cannot climb into the air to collect the ore from the upper levels without the help of tools, and their laws clearly stipulate that only one frogman is allowed to mine at each mining site. ”

Ai Suyan turned his head: "In other words, sometimes for a high-quality crystal mine, they will fight with each other?"

Morton nodded, and the two continued to walk forward, when many strange structures made of crystal suddenly appeared in front of them, and countless crystal bridges connected their tops, crisscrossing them, which was amazing.

"This is the legendary frogman settlement. Morton said indifferently, his sharp gaze unconsciously began to look around.

At this moment, a high-pitched, slightly hoarse voice suddenly came from the settlement, in standard human language and accent.

"Swordmaster Morton, Friend of the Frogmen... It's been a long time since I saw you, and it's a great honor. The man was dressed in a brown robe, with a necklace made of crystal around his neck, bulging eyes glowing green, and his stature was as short as that of a frogman.

He lifted the corner of his robe and looked at Ai Suyan in front of him with a smile.

"He's Warren, the diplomatic ambassador here and to the outside world, and the only frogman in the settlement who knows the human language, so I don't have to be misunderstood. ”

Ai Suyan raised his head, his clear gaze as clear as a clear sky.

"Yes, yes," Warren clapped his hands suddenly and excitedly, "I guess I'm here to join our magic lecture hall, welcome, welcome... Then he turned his head as if he had found something unspeakable.

But then, Ai Suyan's eyes were once again filled with incredulity.

I saw that behind the frogman settlement, there was actually a tower-like building completely composed of magic crystals, it was like the spikes of the earth, from the center of the basin, straight into the sky, the gorgeous color of the body continued to radiate to the outside world, its brilliance is even comparable to the heaven on earth.

Then, as if sensing something unusual, Warren the Wise suddenly chuckled dryly, and then spoke again in his shrill voice.

"You're really admiring the most magical place we have here!" he said, as if to be happy, "uh... What do we call the 'Crystal Tower', it's our faith and symbol here, it's unshakable... Guagua House..."

"Also, it existed long before we were born!, that is, it is older than our race!," he said, throbbing his body, and then suddenly settling down, "Legend has it that the 'Great Child' resides in it, and he will always protect our race... Guagua House..."

"Outsiders can't enter, and the barrier of the crystal can't be broken, so don't be delusional about finding out... He turned his back and beckoned, "Now, please come with me to the Magic Lecture Hall!"

Then, his figure suddenly stopped, and then he pointed at Ai Suyan's back with his slender fingers: "That leather armor on your back, can you open it and show me?"

So Essouyan unwrapped the "Demon Kiss Alligator Leather Armor", and at the same time, he noticed that Warren's eyes suddenly began to glow.

He secretly wondered: This guy, could it be ill-intentioned...

Then, under Morton's astonished gaze, Warren stretched out his tongue and shook it slightly, and then said, "But before that, I want to make a deal with you, young man of humanity." ”

His gaze suddenly became extremely determined, and the prince could not help but stand still.

"The exchange of the leather armor in your hand for my unique treasure is also a condition that must be paid to participate in the lecture hall. Ignoring Morton's thoughts, he just said to himself: "We have been short of resources here recently, and the anti-demon armor can't keep up with production, and this leather armor of yours is a good material... Or rather, a hundred times better than the material we have here... Melon House. ”

Ai Suyan stood in place in shock, the Demon Kiss Crocodile Leather Armor in his hand swaying, as if he felt that he had nowhere to stay.

"But this is a gift from the villagers, I'm afraid—" he said, catching a glimpse of Morton's gaze, but still calm.

"Warren's treasure is a huge sum of money, and the frogs never cheat others out of their money, nor do they break the fairness of the trade. Morton said softly, "Perhaps, it would be wise to exchange this useless thing for their trust." ”

Warren took out a golden treasure bag from behind him: "This is the wealth I have accumulated in the last whole year, melon house... I think it's at least enough for you humans to buy a large piece of land in Pompeii... Please take care. At the same time, Ai Suyan's arm began to tremble as he handed over the gifts from the villagers. After the exchange, Warren let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Fair deal, each according to what he needs." We have absolutely no hostility towards the humans outside..."

Then he held out his hand, "Come on, the 'Magic Lecture Hall', the source of Danalio's fate, awaits you." ”
