The pre-dawn gloom hangs over Windsound Canyon.
This is the only way to the Great Southern Wilderness, although in any era in history, the Southern Great Wilderness with an area equal to five Eki Kingdoms did not have any human settlements at all, nor any glorious ancient countries, Even some of the earliest orc tribes didn't like the mediocrity and barrenness of the wasteland. They liked a more wild and harsh environment, like those giant monsters and monster jungles dense with poisonous beasts.
In such a land, there are always some tribes of dwarves and goblins. Most of these dwarves and goblin tribes are uncivilized and isolated from the world. They even deliberately hide their tracks because of their natural fear of the outside world. They are as barren and poor as the wilderness, and they rely on simple planting and gathering to reproduce.
But it is worth mentioning that there used to be a group of goblins called the "Moro" tribe, but they were naturally cautious businessmen. They did not organize large caravans for trade like the earliest human kingdoms, but they carried wicker baskets and leather bags. Instead, they wandered to every remote corner of the mainland, and they established goblin shops one by one in the oldest retail method.
The total stock of each item in these goblin shops is not much, because it is impossible to transport too much stock by relying on ancient manpower to move around, but the types of goods have always been very heavy, and basically each one can only bend down to walk in. , It seems that only one bed can be placed in the wooden house with a few shelves, but there are thousands of types of goods. There are everything from lizard tooth trinkets to oddly flavored candies to high-end special magician gems.
Even in the most war-torn era, the footprints of this goblin tribe are all over every corner of the continent, even in the most remote and desolate places, in some indigenous tribes, in some monster jungles where only orcs can survive, there are goblins store traces.
Lanternweed Town is just the era when bluffing divination was briefly popular on the Dorast continent. It is a small gathering point built around a famous fortune-teller. There are only a dozen different types of shops and inns, and the goblin shop is one of them.
"Apostle of the Evil Dragon is the unified name for the admirers and followers of the Evil Dragon on the mainland. The great attraction comes from the power of the Evil Dragon's bloodline."
Jialan guided Ayrin and Moss to set up a camp in a forest on the hillside and set up some warning traps, while continuing to answer some questions from the two of them.
"In a real sense, the apostle of the evil dragon who obtained the blood of the evil dragon was at the end of the evil dragon war, when Ned, the king of the evil dragon, was killed. He released the product of the combination of his magic particles and blood, that kind of The strange particles can allow those who absorb them to get some of his bloodline talents. Then many people discovered that his evil dragon bloodline does not need to inherit holy objects, but can be inherited in this way. And all people who get the evil dragon bloodline, Possessing powerful talent and power... The reason why Ned, the king of evil dragons, was able to command many dragons in that era was because his blood was the strongest among all the blood of dragons. And most importantly, the evil dragon Bloodlines also have the power of 'filth'."
"The life essence they condense with the magic element particles and blood can pollute the blood of other magicians. It is the most powerful poison for other magicians. Therefore, the magicians who hunt them often die in the same way. under."
"According to the current news, the evil dragon cultists have established a secret camp in a valley at the southern end of the Dragon's Breath Mountain Range. The straight-line distance between the southern end of the Dragon's Breath Mountain Range and our St. Lauren is shorter than that area to our Aiqi Many parts of the kingdom are even closer, but we happen to be two protrusions extending into the southern wilderness, and we are going to cross a large unknown wilderness in a straight line, so the apostles of the evil dragon were active in several cities near the end of the Dragon's Breath Mountain Range. There has never been a trace of the evil dragon apostle on our side before."
"Because you get some evil dragon blood, you can transform from the most mediocre magician into a genius like Si Dinghan, and you may even get some powerful skills taught by the evil dragon camp. So in this pure Under the temptation of power, many fallen magicians will forget their belief in protecting the peace of the mainland, and choose to work for the apostle of the evil dragon, so as to obtain the blood of the evil dragon."
"In order to gain the approval of the evil dragon camp, they can even kill their relatives and friends, and assassinate those who guard the kingdom, but they think they are the most threatening to them. They are the most insane, fallen people who have trampled on their own beliefs. "
"We will fight forever, unless all our enemies are dead." Moss inexplicably thought of the words he saw on the wall of a certain temple in the Holy Dawn College.
"In order to gain strength, I can kill my relatives and friends, and kill the magicians who guard the peace of my homeland. In the future, I must become a combat magician and fight these people."
Moss suddenly felt that his life had more meaning.
"What's wrong?"
Jialan suddenly felt that Ayrin's expression in front of her was a little strange.
"I don't know, this canyon looks a bit weird."
Ayrin frowned and looked at the canyon ahead.
This canyon belongs to the kind of particularly wide canyon, which is equivalent to a plain sandwiched between two mountain ranges. They were in the middle of the canyon, on the higher side of the hillside, but even so, in the dim light of the day, they couldn't see the ends of the canyon at both ends.
There was a wind blowing from the direction of the southern wilderness, inexplicably giving people a particularly desolate and mournful feeling, and the sound of the wind seemed to have the sound of whimpering.
"It's like some of the legendary lands of ghosts and wraiths. It gives people a feeling of ghosts floating in the wind." Ayrin listened to the wind, and honestly expressed his feelings.
"Look at the canyon and plain here, is there any difference from the canyon and plain we passed when we rushed over?" Jialan asked.
"There are no tall trees growing." Ayrin immediately noticed the difference. In the same area, there would be at least a lot of tall trees growing in the canyons and plains in other places, forming dense jungles, but the canyon and plains in front of him , but only low shrubs and weeds.
"This was originally a settlement of mountain dwarves. At most, there were more than 30,000 mountain dwarves living in this valley." Jialan took a deep breath and said softly, "We used to be in this area where we are now. The hillsides are full of barrel-shaped wooden houses where they live. In the canyon and plain below, they evenly bury a lot of stones transported from the riverbed, just to prevent miscellaneous trees from growing out and affecting their crops. Sow a kind of millet in the soil between stones and stones as their staple food. They spend one-third of a year baking bread and brewing wine. But in the late period of the Dragon War, a fleeing army of evil dragons attacked St. When Lauren, he slaughtered all the mountain dwarf tribes here."
"This is the burial place of more than 30,000 mountain dwarves. That's why in many books, this Wind Canyon is also called the Canyon of Dwarf Tears."
"It is precisely because of these tragic stories that so many warlocks sacrifice their lives to fight, so as to prevent these stories from happening again?" Ayrin took a deep breath as he imagined the scene of joy here. Such a thought flashed through my mind.
…
As the sun gradually shone down on the Wind Canyon, the whimpering sound of the wind seemed to be much quieter.
After a short rest in rotation, Ayrin and Moss, who had no sense of sleepiness or fatigue due to the stimulation of novelty, began to ambush and watch in earnest.
Because according to the information, the opponent is just a magician who has opened two magic doors, so Jialan will only watch and guide during the mission, and will not make a move unless there are some special and unexpected situations.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
Ayrin kept muttering in his heart, wishing that the sorcerer would appear in the canyon in front of him immediately.
"Why don't you come?"
Since there is such a mission released, it means that some of the previous detection magician teams have made accurate judgments on the magician's whereabouts. But contrary to expectations, until noon, there was still no sign of the sorcerer.
"Wait another hour. If the magician doesn't show up after an hour, then the task will be changed to rush to Chishi Village and accept the next task. Chishi Village is not too far from your Kolorin town." Jialan calmly comforted the two impatient freshmen with a low voice that only Ayrin and Moss could hear clearly: "Accidents will happen in any mission, but you must keep calm when any accident happens. And enough patience. Especially this kind of ambush mission, even if the opponent changes in any way, if they don’t pass by us, there will be another magician team to deal with it.”
"That's the truth. Although it should be difficult for the targeted enemy to escape, if they don't pass by us, we will miss this battle." Moss kept praying in his heart.
But his prayers didn't seem to have much effect.
An hour passed, and there was still no magician passing by in the canyon.
"The ambush mission is cancelled." Jialan put away the small hourglass, "Now prepare to go at full speed..."
"Teacher Jialan, wait a minute!"
But at this moment, Ayrin's face suddenly became serious, and he let out a soft cry.
"how?"
"I can smell the aroma of food." Ayrin looked at Jialan and said in a lower voice.
"Where is it?" Moston was so nervous that his vest was covered in cold sweat.
Usually very few people pass through the Wind Canyon, and now the person who is producing the aroma of food is very likely to be the sorcerer they set up an ambush for.
"let's start!"
Jia Lan didn't hesitate at all, just nodded to Ayrin.
