Section 147 Deciduous Hills (Final Chapter)
As soon as Gianna died, the entire Crimson Scorpion fell into a leaderless state.
In fact, an organization like the Crimson Scorpion is largely united by the absolute strength of the leader. Without the leader and the blessing of the Rainbow Nation, he is naturally no match for the wizards of the Pop Chamber of Commerce.
After just half an hour, the battle was quickly over.
Most of the Scarlet Scorpion wizards were either killed, or surrendered, and few escapedβfor they knew that in the midst of the mountains, even if they tried to escape, they had no chance of survival. This is also the reason why Gianna can control them, after all, this place is too dangerous, and without a safe gathering place, with the strength of the wizards alone, they basically can't survive.
Those scarlet scorpion wizards would rather surrender than face the terrifying monsters of the wild alone.
And in the process, Lance did not participate in the battle.
As a passenger, he had done enough, and it was not his duty to clean up the crimson scorpion.
He just collected Gianna's body and the relics on her body as quickly as he could.
And after claiming that he had memorized all the maps of the roundabout trail, no one dared to stop him, even if Isa and the others were skeptical.
After all, now he is almost the only one who everyone can rely on to cross the first mountain range.
......
Twenty hours later, a faint light suddenly flashed in front of the dark tunnel.
The light was so faint that the average person couldn't see it at all.
But Issa, who is a second-level wizard. Naturally, it is not invisible.
"You saved everyone, Mr. Lance. Issa said heartily, "In this accident, you have contributed too much to our Pop Chamber of Commerce. If you want anything in return, as long as the price is reasonable, we won't say no. Also, if you are interested, we would like to hire you as our exclusive wizard for the Chamber of Commerce. β
"I'm just saving myself, pulling someone else along. Lance said modestly, "As for the price, I said it, I only want Gianna's body and her relics." I don't want anything else. And the exclusive wizard...... I'm so sorry. I don't have that plan for the time being. β
"That's a shame. Issa whispered, "I've seen the information form you filled out, and it's clear that it's fake. β
Lance looked at Isa and didn't speak.
The latter thought Lance would be wrong. Hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to say. There's nothing wrong with faking - in fact, most of the passengers on this ship have suspicious identities, but as long as they get on our ship. It's our customers. β
"And what do you mean by that?" asked Lance, without moving.
Issa smiled, "I'm just wondering, what exactly do you have to do on your way to the Deciduous Hills? β
"What can I do if I know my purpose?" asked Lance rhetorically.
Issa shrugged: "Let's see if there is anything I can help, our Chamber of Commerce has a lot of power in the Deciduous Hills, and I myself can be regarded as having a lot of friends." If you don't mind, I should be able to help. β
"Aiken whale oil. Lance said dryly.
Isaac was stunned.
After three breaths, the old man showed a hint of embarrassment: "Your purpose is actually Aiken whale oil?"
"Yes. What's wrong?" said Lance naturally.
The old man shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This ...... This one...... I'm afraid I can't really help. β
"I've been told that there are regular auctions for Aiken whale oil in the deciduous hills......" Lance frowned.
Isa nodded, "That's true, but that was a few years ago. β
"In recent years, I've heard that something went wrong on the side of the Sea of the Moon. So the supply of Eiken whale oil is becoming more and more scarce, so that in recent years, there has been very little supply of Eiken whale oil. Even if someone gets it, it will be taken down by some big forces. Within our organization, although we should be able to get some Aiken whale oil, my own position ......"
At this, Issa stopped in embarrassment.
Lance instantly understood what he meant.
"It turns out that the deciduous hills, Aiken whale oil is also very difficult to ......"
At this moment, his joy just now because of the relics on Gianna's body was suddenly diluted.
If you have traveled thousands of miles to the deciduous hills and still can't buy Icon whale oil, then what should you do next?
To be honest, Lance himself was at a loss.
"But...... If you're really in need of Eiken whale oil, I've got one more. "I've heard that our Chamber of Commerce has recently been organizing a whale hunt deep into the Crescent Sea, and if you're interested, I can recommend you to the Chamber of Commerce to reserve a spot on the whaling ship," Isa said. β
Lance listened, and only nodded: "Thank you for your kindness, let's talk about it when we get to the deciduous hills." β
......
The flotilla of floats left the First Mountain Range unharmed and continued southward.
Beyond the first mountain range, the climate begins to become humid and humid. Standing on the deck of the floatboat, you can see some strange birds gathering and flying by from time to time, some birds are very gentle, but most of the birds are fierce, and there are demonized shadows on their bodies.
On this section of the road, the protective shields of all the floatboats are fully opened.
This was the hardest part of the journey.
Lance hid in the cabin, constantly playing with the green flute.
In fact, this green flute was one of the most valuable things he got from Gianna.
This pale green magic flute, combined with Gianna's two sheet music, is the secret of her control of the Star-Swallowing Demon Stomach.
Of course, Lance had little interest in resurrecting the Star Eater. He's not the fanatical kind and doesn't try to harness creatures beyond his abilities.
What really interested him in the Magic Flute was the small bottle that Gianna had left on her body.
This bottle is quite similar to the Eternal Bottle, and it contains the gastric juice of the Star Eater Demon in the belly of the mountain, which terrifies wizards!
In a bottle, there are only eight drops in total, and according to the score, each drop of green liquid can only kill one person, and then it will disappear without a trace.
These three things. It seems to be because it has too much power in itself. So much so that it couldn't be put in the space storage device, which made Lance pick up the cheap.
To be honest, he didn't know anything about sheet music, the magic flute, or anything like that, but he was impressed by the power of this green liquor. If you can really tame these green liquors. Then it is undoubtedly adding a strong hole card to yourself!
It's just that it's currently on board. He didn't dare to conduct any experiments yet. First, I am afraid of being discovered by others, and secondly, I am afraid that this already tortuous journey will be reborn.
As a result, he could only devote most of his time to learning knowledge, and in his spare time. will play with this green magic flute.
Time passed, and one day, Lance was sitting in the cabin when he suddenly heard a series of footsteps on the deck.
It seems that someone is shouting from the deck.
Lance was curious, so he put away his things and walked out calmly.
He came to the deck, only to see that he didn't know when it started, and the protective shield that had shrouded the whole ship had been taken back.
The wet south wind blew in his face, and he approached the crowded side of the ship, and his eyes focused on the distance.
A golden glow is especially dazzling in such an early morning.
That's a tree!
A towering tree that reaches into the sky!
"The Golden Tree! We're here! We're here!"
Heaven forbid, we have finally arrived safely in the deciduous hills!"
"It's magnificent, it's the first time I've seen the legendary Golden Tree, and every leaf on it looks like it's made of real gold. β
On the deck, everyone reveled.
The appearance of the Golden Tree means that the fleet has officially entered the territory of the deciduous hills, and it also means that that dangerous journey has come to an end.
"Is it finally here?"
Lance silently watched as the golden tree flashed past him, and on the horizon in the distance, there were traces of houses in the undulating hills.
He suddenly grabbed the side of the ship, and the whole person jumped down!
In the next second, the azure comet suddenly enveloped him all over his body and rushed towards the south at full speed.
The wizards on the ship were stunned.
"My lord, he's gone, shall we ......?" In the middle of the crowd, Anseni and Issa stood side by side.
"No, a lot of clever wizards do. "To my surprise, he is so young, but he seems to have the experience of an old man." β
He probably guessed that in the deciduous hills, the flight from the mountain town of Gordon was also very valuable in the eyes of some people. β
......
The climate and topography of the deciduous hills are actually very similar to those of the black sands. It's just not as extreme as Kurosawa.
And the wizarding civilization here is also much more developed than the black land, at least enough to be comparable to Ferendor.
Lance walked around the important city of [Pearl Bracelet] in the deciduous hills for half a month, and gradually integrated into the city.
However, the news about Aiken whale oil made him a little unhappy.
Isaac wasn't lying, and in the deciduous hills, Aiken whale oil was also a sought-after commodity. If you want to buy Aiken whale oil through ordinary channels, the difficulty is not much lower than that of the mountain city of Gordon.
Less than 3,000 miles south of the Pearl Bracelet is the coastline of the Sea of the Moon.
In that place, there is a wizarding city that echoes the pearl bracelet - [Star City].
Star City and the pearl bracelet make up the two major witchcraft circles of the deciduous hills.
And more importantly, in the depths of the Sea of the Quarter Moon adjacent to Star City, there are often Aiken two-headed whales. In Star City, there are regular whaling teams that have been assembling and ready to go.
"If you continue to stay, you won't get anything, it seems that it's time to go to Star City. β
After hesitating for half a month, Lance finally made a decision in his heart.
