Chapter 771: Gristian's Gift
Of the five kingdoms of the Shadow Realm, Olipos is in the center.
Normally, if you want to travel to the other four countries, you need to start from Olipos.
Of course, stowaways like Sarayan are out of the norm.
Moonberry brushed his face all the way to authenticate and brought Saray and the others to the flight point to Madroxus.
Originally, Salian also wanted to take the opportunity to meet the AI arbitrator to see if he could get some wool from the bug.
It is a pity that the arbitrator has a lot of opportunities and has endless official duties to deal with every day, and he does not have time to receive a smuggler of unknown origin.
The Voice of Reverence, representing the will of the arbitrator, ignored Sarren's request and instructed the other acolytes to take them to the upper flying platform
Just as Sarren said goodbye to her guide, Moonberry, and was about to flap her wings and fly into the passage, an unfamiliar female voice suddenly stopped them from behind.
"Lord Moonberry, and those new faces, please wait a moment."
"Huh?"
Moonberry turned her head a little stunned, she heard the voice of the person, but she didn't expect her to appear here.
"Gui'an, Honorable Eternal, Archon of the Fortress, Your Excellency Gristia, the eldest daughter."
A blue-skinned birdman with snow-white wings landed slowly on the flying platform, smiling and nodding to Moonberry.
"It's been a long time, little moonberry, why haven't you come to my side lately?"
"Hey~"
Yueberry smiled and touched her little head: "Haven't you been busy in the past few years, I will definitely go to you when I am free, don't welcome me when the time comes." ”
"Heh~"
Gristian shook her head with a smirk, and poked her finger twice in Moonberry's face.
"Why don't you be welcome, come as soon as possible, I will prepare your favorite fruit wine."
Moonberry: "Yay! ”
Gristian: "Ahem~ Let's get down to business." ”
The eldest daughter, Gristiana, has a more old-fashioned personality, and once she enters the working state, she will put on an iron-faced and selfless appearance, which seems to be more unkind than the cold winter queen who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Gristian, with a straight face, looked at the four of Sarlian with a scrutinizing gaze.
Although she restrained her momentum as much as possible as an Eternal, the huge difference in strength still made Sarian and the others feel like thorns in their backs.
Sarean: "You call this a rookie?" How did the little mortal king named Anduin hurt her? ”
【…… God knows, maybe it's a plot killing? Anyway, it's not the first time that glass slag has engaged in this kind of combat power and forced collapse. 】
The five kingdoms of the Shadow Realm have their own duties, and Olipos, as a transit point, rarely sees people from other countries, except for Grien, who has been promoted to the fortress, in order to attract the souls of the dead who have stayed in various worlds, he will often come and go here.
In order not to cause a commotion, Gristian changed her appearance and shrunk her body to the size of a normal Grien.
If it weren't for the close and careful identification of the insider, it would be impossible to see that she was the leader of the promoted fortress.
When facing the four of Sarjan, Gristian lost the easy-going way she had when she joked with Moonberry before, and said to them businesslikely: "I've heard the Winter Queen say that you are her trusted foreign help?" ”
"With all due respect, for your safety, I need one last reminder and confirmation."
"Madroxas is the most frequently fought country in the Shadow Realm, and if you don't agree with each other, you may fight with the locals, are you really confident that you can complete the difficult task of finding 'him' in the warlike Madroxus?" ”
Sarjan shrugged his shoulders against the pressure that Gristian unleashed unconsciously: "I don't dare to pat your chest and promise you without actually knowing the local area." ”
"We've done all the work we need to do, and at least we can make sure that we won't die in Madroxus easily."
"Well......" Gristian said thoughtfully, holding her chin in her hand, "just in case, the Winter Queen should have left her mark on all of you, and I won't intervene." ”
"But...... Next, take this. ”
Gristian tossed a snow-white feather.
The fluttering feathers didn't fly everywhere, and they flew towards Sarren like a hidden weapon.
"Smack!"
Sarjan, who had good dynamic vision, raised his hand to grab the feather, and the impact attached to the feather caused his body to tilt back slightly.
"Oh?"
Gristia, who was deliberately tempted, was slightly surprised: "Although you have not yet surpassed the limits of mortals, your body is very strong, and all your qualities are above those of ordinary mortals...... I see. ”
Grien's duty is to bring in the dead from various worlds in the universe, and the veteran Grien is well-informed.
As the culmination of all Grien, Gristian passively obtains a large amount of information from various living worlds.
Dragons are not unique to Azeroth, and with a little probing, Gristian understands the origin of Sarjan's strong physique.
"Just think I'm troublesome."
Shaking her head noncommittally, Gristia pointed to the feather in Sarren's hand.
"In case of danger, you can activate that feather with your life force, and my power projection will help you get through it, just once."
"That's all I have to say, I wish you all the best on this trip."
Gristia finished talking, smiled and nodded to Moonberry, flapped her wings in place and made a big whirl in the air, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the spatial passage leading to the promotion fortress.
Salian observed the feather in his hand thoughtfully, it did contain extremely powerful power, at least Salian couldn't take it, and Onyxia didn't have much confidence.
"Is there only one help? Let's take it with gratitude. ”
In order to avoid being alarmed, the Winter Queen and Gristian's direct family could not be used, and they could only hope that Sarjan and his party, who were not under the supervision of the Warden and Denatius, would successfully achieve their goal.
Although they couldn't do it themselves, both Eternals were able to help them with some help.
The runes engraved on the four of them by the Winter Queen allow them to resurrect once when they are on the verge of death.
Obviously, Gristian deliberately stayed in Olipos in order to send this blessing and give Sallian and the others a higher chance of success.
"I always feel ...... It's been looked down upon. ”
Sarren himself knew that the danger of Madroxas was not comparable to that of any area he had ventured before, but he was not intimidated by his experience, nor was he fluttering on the basis of his past experience, and his mind was always very peaceful.
The Winter Queen and Gristia seem to be worried that they won't be able to complete their mission, and try to help them in any way they can.
Although the two Eternals were well-intentioned, Sareen was still a little upset.
"The High Eternal, is it so untrustworthy for mortals? I'm still about to finish it for you. ”
Onyxia still looks lazy on the surface, but her eyes also reveal unhappiness, and no one likes to be looked down upon.
"Let's go, instead of arguing with them on the lips, we should prove our ability with practical actions."
Valera and Stella Gosa also nodded solemnly, and the scrappy Salian immediately flapped his wings and flew.
"Let's go~ Let me see what kind of Longtan Tiger's Den Madroxus is."
……
After passing through the spatial passage to reach Madroxus, the originally bright light immediately became dark, and the sky turned an eerie gray-yellow.
Salian hovered over Madroxus for a moment, taking in the topography of the kingdom from above.
The map provided by the Winter Queen is correct, Madroxas is a complete rectangular continent, and the five secret courtyards are based on the central theater of the dead, scattered in the five corners of Madroxus.
If you include the Seat of the Soldier Commander directly south of the Theater of the Wounded and Dead, the important places of this kingdom are connected into a complete six-pointed star map.
Salian now hovers directly above the Theater of the Dead, and the road below leads in all directions, making it easy to get to any of the secret courtyards from here.
…… Theoretically, yes.
"Boom!"
A floating city of the undead floated in mid-air, and without warning, threw a cloud of green unidentified material at Sarren's location.
"it!"
Not knowing what the other party was using as ammunition projectiles, Sarren instinctively sensed the danger and immediately began to dive down at high speed.
The unidentified substance that exploded in mid-air radiated a large amount of green dust into the vicinity, and at first glance you knew it was not a good thing.
Since the evil energy used by demons is green, Sarean has an instinctive aversion to this color, and of course he will not have a good face for those who throw themselves with green matter.
Onexia looked thoughtfully at the floating city in the distance that was being filled with "ammunition": "Indiscriminate attack? Or is it deliberately aimed at us? ”
Valera shook her head and persuaded: "Don't worry about it so much, we are not familiar with life here, let's find a place to hide and avoid the limelight first, and then think about it in the long run." ”
Stellagossa agreed: "For the Madroxans, who have an air force presence and are accustomed to looking up, objects flying in the air will be particularly eye-catching, so let's land and move forward by land, so we should avoid some trouble." ”
The mood is still a little Salian complained: "But it may also invite more trouble." ”
