"I said he was too impatient. Of course I wouldn't treat such an important matter as saving people as a joke!" Mustaxia waved his hand with a wry smile, "The judgment just now is just a guess, and it may not be right. Besides, even if I guessed it right, so the place where we are going to save people must also pass through the center of the land of death, so I am not wasting time saving people!"
Hearing Mustaxia's further explanation, Qin Lun's expression eased slightly, and he gave Hill a wink.
Almost no need to communicate on the team channel, Hill already understood, and asked while the iron was hot: "Please forgive our rudeness just now, so can you tell us now, what is your so-called secret?"
"Can I not tell you now?" Mustaxia rolled her eyes angrily, and then said solemnly, "However, you must assure me that after this incident, you will never publicize this news to the outside world. Otherwise, It may bring a catastrophe to Baldur's Gate."
Because the previous debate was a little louder, the three of Rick also gathered around. Hearing this, they all expressed that they would never reveal the so-called secret of Mustasha. Although they are mercenaries now, they are different from ordinary mercenary mercenaries.
"What's the biggest legend about Baldur's Gate that you've heard before?" Mustasha asked with a smile on her face.
"You don't need to ask. The biggest legend in Baldur's Gate is of course the legendary pirate Baldur'an's establishment of Baldur's Gate." The thief Lago raised his eyebrows and said without thinking.
"That's right, what about the land of death?" Mustasia nodded and continued to ask.
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, for there are many important legends about the Land of the Dead. Before ancient times, there were many epic wars that changed the situation of the entire continent. It is a bit difficult to answer the question of Mustaxia.
"Mastashia, are you referring to the legend about Bord'an crossing the land of death?" A faint voice suddenly came from the crowd, and everyone looked closely, only to find that it was Winnie, whose face was still a little pale.
Under Winnie's reminder, everyone suddenly woke up. There are many legends about the Land of the Dead. However, the first question to contact Mustasha is obviously another legend about Bord'an. He is the only famous human being who has traversed the Land of the Dead throughout the ages.
The reason why he is called a famous human being is because he is the only creature or adventurer who crosses the land of the dead with clear historical records.
"You found the clear clues left by Baldur'an?" Qin Lun frowned slightly, lowered his head and pondered, "No, no, no matter how important the relics left by Baldur'an are, they will not bring disaster to the current Baldur's Gate ,unless… "
"Have you found the treasure of the legendary pirate?" Everyone looked up in unison, with complex emotions in their eyes, surprise, joy, worry...
The treasure of legendary pirates! Even though the people present were not simple, they were also shocked by this discovery. All the emotions in human hearts appeared on their faces in an instant, including the three apostles of Qin Lun.
They are apostles and don't need wealth, but the treasures of the legendary pirate don't necessarily only have gold and silver treasures, there should also be his legendary equipment, magic scrolls, voyage diaries, and even his earth-shattering inheritance of martial arts.
The value of legendary equipment and martial arts inheritance is still second. In comparison, Bo De'an's sailing diary is definitely more attractive to Qin Lun and the others. The legendary pirate Bord'an and his warships have traveled all over the world, not only the continent of Faerun, but also the continent of Karatu in the Far East, the overseas islands and other places. I don't know how much world exploration is included in it.
This nautical diary is the legend of Bodean's life, recording the most important history of his time. If Qin Lun and the others were allowed to get this voyage diary, it would be no less than the sum of the exploration speed benefits of several mission worlds.
"You guys are really money buffs, you call it a treasure without even thinking about it!" Mustaxia smiled wryly. It's no wonder, when mentioning the so-called Pirate King, isn't everyone's first thought is a treasure
"I did find the mark left by Bord'an, but there may not be a treasure. In fact, I don't know what's inside. I didn't dare to explore that place at all." Mustaxia shrugged, He said helplessly, "That is the most dangerous core area in the entire Land of the Dead. Judging from the traces that appeared nearby, there should be at least one true legendary creature."
"Legendary creature!" Everyone hesitated, their force is not bad. However, when the threshold of legend is reached, it will be completely different, because creatures above the legendary level will definitely have their own legendary domain.
Although Qin Lun and others have reached the second level now, they can even fight against high-level plot powerhouses with powerful laws and bodies, but it is definitely beyond their ability to deal with legendary creatures.
If they encountered a Legendary Domain with similar attributes, they might be instantly killed. It was the same as when Qin Lun was almost stabbed to death by a high-ranking assassin from the Zhentarim.
"What does Bo De'an's clues have to do with rescuing Elisine?" Among the crowd, only Qin Lun still hadn't forgotten the point of the topic, frowning, and asked unhappily, "Are you looking for Bo De'an? The ruins, did you follow them on purpose?"
"You know I have always had only one goal!" Mustaxia looked at Qin Lun meaningfully, "Saving people is the top priority now, and the reason why I mentioned Bo De'an's clues is because we want to If you continue to search for Elistine, you must pass there…”
"The main road that must be passed..." Rick touched the newly grown stubble on his chin, and said hesitantly, "The land of death is bounded by the Chongsa River in the south, the Winding River in the west, and the town of Triel in the east. trade roads, only to the north…”
"If it's the Troll's Claw in the north of the Land of the Dead, it really has to go through the center of the swamp!" Lago and the others, who knew the terrain, had already understood, but everyone's expressions became ugly.
To the north of the Deadlands is a mountain of steep cliffs that are difficult to climb on all sides, known as the Troll's Claw.
Since the war between trolls and elves in ancient times, it has been difficult for these violent and powerful creatures to see complete tribes from the plains. Only sporadic individuals who occasionally run out of the mountains will cause trouble to passing business travelers.
However, this does not mean that the race of trolls has completely disappeared. They just migrated to the mountains where humans and elves are difficult to penetrate. Only the dwarves in the North will often deal with them.
The biological level of the troll is different from the dragon fly that everyone met just now. As long as the members of the race are mature, they generally reach the fifth or sixth level.
Trolls have human-like intelligence and can learn totem secrets and martial arts, which also makes the strength of most male individuals often surpass their own race level. Thereby reaching a high-level level above the seventh level, and in large tribes, even legendary warriors or legendary shamans will be born.
The Troll's Claw is a mountain range where a complete troll tribe is bred. This mountain range is almost in the shape of a circle, and the surrounding steep mountain walls reject all outsiders.
If you want to enter the Troll's Claw, there are only two entrances, one is the winding river that crosses the mountains in the middle. The second is the mountain valley located in the northern part of the Land of the Dead.
However, both entrances are equally dangerous. Not to mention the danger of the Land of the Dead, the danger of the Winding River entering the Troll's Claw Mountains is a miracle of nature.
Before the Winding River reaches the Troll's Claw Mountains, there are three waterfalls with huge drops. Each waterfall has a drop of hundreds of meters. The deepest waterfall is two kilometers inside the mountain range.
There are no ships to enter or leave here, and the only way to get in is by flying. But flying in the air is more dangerous. From entering the Troll's Claw Mountains, the high cliffs on both sides of the river are the habitats of ferocious birds.
This kind of bird is called the cockscomb eagle. It has a scarlet meat comb on its head, which looks similar to a cockscomb, hence the name.
The cockscombed eagle is comparable in size to a griffin, full of wildness and strong aggression, and cannot be tamed at the beginning of its birth, even by the most skilled animal trainer. They will not let go of any creature passing through the airspace, even if it is a giant dragon, they dare to fight.
Each cockscomb eagle has a biological level of four or five levels. The key point is that they are still social creatures. Hundreds of them swarm up, and legendary professions will hate their claws.
The Baldur's Gate official agency set up iron chains at the entrance of the Winding River into the mountains a long time ago, and put up signs on both banks to warn those merchant fleets who forgot their schedules.
Therefore, although the shipping of the Winding River is the busiest section of the river in the Baldur's Gate area, this section of the river is inaccessible, and the merchant fleet will automatically transfer to the horse-drawn carriages established on both sides of the river when they arrive here.
"Do you know the information about that legendary creature deep in the land of death?" Qin Lun thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked Mustasha.
"I don't know. Judging from the traces it left behind, it should be a large amphibian or reptile, such as a swamp hydra, a wild bull, a swamp dragon, a long-necked water dragon... There are too many possibilities, and I can't list them all." Distinguish." Mustasia shook her head, expressing that she was helpless.
"If the three of you feel that this mission can no longer continue, then our employment contract can be terminated here!" Qin Lun saw the blood-piercing trio whispering behind him from the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but proposed in his heart.
Hearing Qin Lun's inquiry, the three of Rick couldn't help but froze, with embarrassing expressions on their faces. They were indeed arguing just now whether they should continue to perform the employment task. After all, if they continued, their lives would be threatened.
Among the three, the thief Lago is more opposed to going deeper, hoping to persuade Xi Fu, who is an ordinary person, to leave together. And Winnie, whose life was just saved by Qin Lun, said that no matter what, she would advance and retreat with everyone.
Rick felt hesitant for the first time. The three of them had never argued about the task before. Thinking of this, the knight looked at Qin Lun, and said in a deep voice: "Since we have become mercenaries, we must have a beginning and an end. However, as I said earlier, you are not our employer. How about this, will the mercenary group continue to follow you?" , leave it to Mr. Silver to decide!"
The blood-piercing trio looked at the bewildered West Buddha in unison. Qin Lun shook his head, smiled slightly, and lowered his head to whisper something to West Buddha.
Seeing that the expression on Xi Fu's face changed for a while, and slowly became firm, Rick suddenly sighed secretly, and it seemed that the answer was self-evident.
