"Treasure hunt?" This was the first time Alex had heard of it. "What on earth is going on?"
Min Te hurriedly told the whole story: "That happened when I was a child. My grandfather took me on a trip and went to the Elf Forest. At that time, my grandfather wanted to help the elves eliminate the snowfield monsters, so I stayed in Phantom Town. I was playing with my friends. At that time, a group of strange mercenaries came to the town. They were sneaky and inquiring around. The half-elves thought they were not good people and asked them to leave, so they took my friend and two of them away. They were little elves and killed one of them. When my grandfather and the elves caught them, they said that someone told them that the elves have a long history and have collected many treasures, and they came here to hunt for treasures."
"What kind of treasure?" Father Riddle shook his head. "Elves are a race that respects nature. What they consider treasures will never be the gold and silver jewelry that humans like."
"That's right! That's why we found it strange!" Minte continued, "But at that time, because an elf died and people kept coming to disturb her, the Elf Queen was very angry and decided to close the Elf Forest and not allow humans to enter! I Grandpa had no choice but to take me away, but when we climbed over the God's Blade and reached the northern mountains of Noga, we actually found that there were mercenaries planning to hunt for treasure in the Elf Forest!"
Alex also heard that something was wrong at this time: "You mean...someone is spreading rumors among human society that there are treasures in the Elf Forest?"
Min nodded: "My grandfather thought there was something wrong, so he followed the clues and found that someone deliberately spread this rumor to the mercenaries. We followed that person all the way to Nomonka and saw him connecting with others. My grandfather After hearing their conversation, the person was responsible for closing the Elf Forest to the outside world, while the person he contacted was responsible for persuading the Illuminati Cult to open the passage, and there was also an accomplice in Mongli. We didn’t understand what they meant at the time, but looking back now Come on, those two people should be talking about persuading Vana to open the border and allow foreigners to come and go freely, right? And the one in Mengli..." He tilted his head and thought for a moment. "Later we went to Mongli, and we only found out that the original gang overlord, the Underground Duke, was dead, several factions were in chaos, and new forces kept emerging..."
Alex narrowed his eyes: "Mengli... Since the opening of the Vana border, the anti-temple situation there has been the most serious. A bishop went to inspect it. He was almost assassinated. The person who caused these things is said to be related to the local gang. .”
Father Riddle was also thinking thoughtfully: "So... the person who took the lead in opposing the temple in Anchor City seemed to have moved from Mongli just a few years ago, and the people who were incited by him were also very large. Most of them are not long-term residents of Ancore City... In fact, in recent years, I heard that the lords of several territories in Weisha have become more and more mean to the civilians under their jurisdiction, so many people have fled to settle in the Ancore area. The disputes between residents have never stopped."
Minte slapped his hands: "That's right! I saw them attacking the temple in Mongli with my own eyes. Some people's words and deeds were really suspicious. And when I was inquiring about the entertainment oasis, I saw Esparo's place. A list. On it are the names of some people who led and participated in the unrest. Esparo is a lackey of the Demon Realm, and this incident was definitely planned by them deliberately!"
He stood up suddenly and walked around the room, thinking quickly: "Esparo also made a plan, which was ostensibly for people like Prince Noga Mario, but in fact But it is very likely that he is just using it. The plan states that it will trigger a conflict between Vana and other countries, so that it can stand aside during the war. Esparo also suggested that he has contacted the Saint Virgin of the Central Holy See. Aunt Rosalin, the other party promised to help him. He also said that he could consider poisoning Princess Diana to stir up discord between the two countries..." At this point, he suddenly thought of his colleague Uncle Luma: "By the way, my colleague knows about this. After the incident, I set off to Van'a to report to the princess, haven't you seen him?!"
After Fan'a was sealed off, Uncle Luma never came back. According to Mallory's speculation, he was probably lurking in Fan'a just in case. But there's no reason why he shouldn't report the matter to the princess, right? Also, how come the colleague who brought the copy of the plan back to East never heard Mallory mention it
Min Te had a slightly bad feeling in his heart. At the same time, I also thought of Esparo's plan. Another thing was mentioned: "Esparo once mentioned... The Hedda family also has a good family in East. They were not involved in the political liquidation. And they were willing to help them... I don't know. Which family?"
Alex's face changed slightly. Question: "What does this colleague you are talking about look like?"
"Oh." Minte woke up. "Uncle Luma is nearly fifty years old. He is of medium height and has dark skin. He has a short crew cut and a short beard on his face. He is slightly lame in his left foot. But he is very flexible."
Alex had some impressions: "I once met such a person. He was outside the temple at the time. He asked to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. But the princess never liked to see outsiders. So the deacon from the temple came to see him. It was summer time I had to leave in a hurry and didn't pay attention to what happened next. But after that, I never saw him again. When I visited Her Royal Highness, she didn't mention this person either. I thought he was not important. Woolen cloth."
Minte's heart sank slightly: "Isn't that Miss Rosalin...in the same temple as the princess? Could it be...that she prevented Uncle Luma from seeing the princess?" Even. May use any means necessary.
"I don't know about this. But your colleague knows her identity. He should be careful, right?" Alex lowered his head and thought for a while. Let’s sort things out again. "Now it seems that Esparo from Hedda's family is probably the real culprit behind the poisoning of the teacher! He somehow convinced Rosalin and asked her to poison her. At the same time, he made people cause trouble in the border towns. In many After the monks and bishops were killed or injured, Vana closed the country. As a result, no one can use the light magic that can deal with Warcraft."
Minte added: "He also used the same method for the Elf Forest, which made the Elf Queen decide to block the forest. Without the threat of the Fountain of Life, the Demon Realm has nothing to worry about!"
Father Riddle sighed: "If Vana had not opened the border, there would have been no subsequent conflicts. They were so thoughtful. Unfortunately, no one discovered that this was a trap, and their plan finally succeeded."
Minte snorted coldly: "We humans are not stupid either. Even without Vana and Elf Forest, wouldn't we be able to stop them now? I see Ori's high wall. It can definitely stop those monsters! Let's put it aside then Burn them all with fire..." He suddenly stopped and his eyes widened, thinking that there was river water under the city wall here, and it was impossible to burn them. Could it be just to keep the monsters out
Alex gave him a mocking look. He was unhappy and glared back: "Don't be complacent. You got here before me. Do you know what the magicians in Shaonan are planning to do?"
"Idiot, even if I have studied in the Magic City, I am just a foreigner. How could they tell me?"
Minte was a little disappointed, but soon, he had a chance to answer his questions.
It had just gotten dark not long ago. People were still having dinner when a bell suddenly sounded from the city wall, and the soldiers shouted: "The monster is coming!"
Everyone took action. Minte also ran up the city wall with Alex and came to Vasily: "How is the situation?!"
Vasily handed over the telescope in his hand: "We are still less than four kilometers away." He turned around and told his subordinates to assist the Shaonan soldiers in using bows and arrows.
Minte took the telescope and looked forward, and sure enough, he saw a black object moving towards this side on the west bank of the Barrow River. The sky was dim, but through the dim moonlight, he could vaguely see that kind of thing. There were a lot of things, and I couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are there so many?! We met them in Xi'an. They were only a few dozen!"
"This batch of monsters is huge in number and cannot be compared with the previous ones. They should have come directly from the Demon Realm across the desert, unlike those transported by carriages in Xiko." Vasily frowned, and his attention was drawn to the people under the city wall. The shadow attracted him, "What is that? Are there any nearby residents who have not evacuated?!"
Min Te quickly looked down, and sure enough he found a dozen civilians holding boats trying to get in under the city wall. Originally, the soldiers were already closing the gate. After seeing this, they hesitated for a moment, and then an officer gave the order to let them go. The soldiers then postponed the action of closing the gate. Calling to the people outside: "Move quickly! The monster is coming in soon!"
Upon hearing this, the civilians hurriedly sped up the action of punting the boat. Just as their boat was approaching the harbor, Alex's face suddenly changed: "Don't let them in! Those are living corpses!"
Minte was shocked and shouted to the soldiers below the city: "Drive them out quickly, they are not alive!"
The soldiers were stunned when they heard this and paused. The "civilians" suddenly sped up their movements, sailed into the cave, and waved their oars. Then he knocked four or five soldiers into the water. The officer immediately issued a warning when he saw this. An alarm was also sounded at another port, and another group of "civilians" with only two people rushed to the gate.
Alex waved his hand, and a tree trunk flew from a short distance, knocking the living corpse out of the harbor hole. Just when he was about to do it again, a hot wind suddenly came from the direction of the town, and a red flame the size of a door panel rushed over, burning all the living corpses into ashes, even the boat they were riding on was no exception. Then another ball of silvery white light came out, freezing the surface of the water area into ice, then split into small pieces, and flew out of the port with a roar. The surviving soldiers immediately closed the gate, and then Only then did he rescue his companion who fell into the water.
Only then did Mint and Alex have time to look at the people who cast the magic. They turned out to be two old magicians with white beards who were about sixty years old. One was wearing a deep red robe, and the other was Wearing dark green clothes, they were all standing on the bow of a small boat without an oar with a serious look on their faces, and they were quickly approaching the city wall.
When they arrived at the bottom of the wall, they did not immediately climb the steps, but waved to Alex: "Young man, come here and purify the water here to prevent the water source from being polluted."
Alex hurriedly ran down, while Mint was attracted by the sound on the other side.
The monsters are gradually approaching, and their large claws can already be seen. After the dam closed the gate, the water level of the river gradually rose and overflowed the grassland on the river bank. When the Warcraft came to the river bank less than a hundred meters away from the city wall, the water had already covered their feet. The Warcraft hesitated for a moment, but quickly continued to move forward.
Minte looked at the number of monsters that were three or four times more than what he had seen before, swallowed his saliva, and then turned to look at the commander of Shaonanfang, wondering how he was going to deal with these enemies.
(I had something to do today. I was so tired when I came back that I couldn’t think straight. There’s only so much. I’m very sorry. I’ll make up for it tomorrow...)
