After Lei Luo passed the task scroll to the female scholar beside him, his face was serious.
The assessment task may seem simple, but it is actually extremely challenging.
first.
The mission goal of the assessment is to go to the Black Flame Valley in the southeast of the Thorn Forest, which is almost at the edge of the Wind Wall area on the map of Star Curtain Land.
The so-called wind wall refers to the edge of the eye of the wind, the land of star curtains opened up by Aurora Bright Creator.
Outside the wind wall.
Years of violent winds have been raging for many years, which is the essence of Stormwind Continent. The harsh living environment has created countless terrifying monsters. They survive tenaciously outside the wind wall, and almost every monster has a creepy vitality.
As far as humans are concerned, if they don't have the strength of a charging fighter, they will be torn apart by the strong wind the moment they step out of the wind wall.
Except for many terrifying monsters.
On the Storm Continent, there are countless alien civilizations, struggling to survive on this barren continent.
Although the pace of human exploration of the Storm Continent is blocked by the Land of Nightfall, there are still some pocket storm eyes between the two places, where weak Level 1 and Level 2 civilizations are hidden.
Some of these weak civilizations rely on the protection of certain legendary creatures and survive in the eyes of natural pocket wind.
Some built temples and opened up an eye of the storm alone, and they tried their best to protect their eye of the storm, just like humans guard their own homes, any intruders will be regarded as the enemy of life and death by them!
In this way.
The remote area of the wind wall is often a relatively dangerous area for each eye.
The so-called adventure places in many human principalities, such as the Magic Eagle Forest and the Furnace Mountain Range, can almost be regarded as safe greenhouses compared to the edges of these wind walls.
obviously.
In such a remote area, the church has discovered another place polluted by fat and blood nests!
As early as a year ago, there was a night evil god who smuggled in, named the God of Black Crow, and was beheaded by the church crusaders. Lei Luo harvested 800g of divine blood from the tree of truth, and now it has been two years since the blood-derived smuggling invasion. Over the past few years, the power of this polluted land may have exceeded ordinary people's imagination.
On this kind of battlefield, killing blood spawns and wizards...
What's more, the task can only be completed within forty-five days.
Based on the straight-line distance from the Grand Duchy to the polluted area, even if you hire the fastest bird mounts on the market, it will probably take about 20 days!
After going back and forth like this, the time left for everyone to perform the task, even in the best situation, is probably only about five days.
However, the condition for completing the task is not a certain number of heretics killed. Only the two people who kill the most people can get the degree certificate.
A wry smile.
really.
Compared with the difficulty of obtaining a degree certificate for a natural scholar, it is almost a child's play.
So…
How to win more task time is the key.
If you can't rush to the mission location within 22 days, no matter how powerful you are, it's just empty talk.
After the mission scroll was circulated among the crowd, it returned to Celastor's hands.
"Then, let's begin the mission."
Whoops, whoops, whoops, whoops...
The twenty people in the room flew out of the windows of the ten-storey tower almost at the fastest speed.
Lei Luo flew towards the airport with the power of the moon-induced tide, but several people passed Lei Luo at a faster speed, and they disappeared in the sky.
After a while.
After Lei Luo flew to the airport, he landed on the largest mount rental market without any hesitation.
Without giving the other party a chance to ask questions, Lei Luo said directly: "I want to rent a giant bird with the fastest speed to reach the nearest airport in the Black Flame Valley in the Thorn Forest. I want the fastest one!"
"Ah! What a coincidence, just now two people rented out the Sermis Yalong here at a high price, but there is also a Thunderbird here. The closest place to the Black Flame Valley should be the White Moon Elf Tribe, about two Eleven to twenty-two days' journey."
Lei Luo froze slightly, but paid the gold coins without hesitation.
"Let's go now!"
Lei Luo had just left when another old scholar landed and said the same thing as Lei Luo.
However, the speed of other giant birds is difficult to meet the task requirements.
The old man's face was ugly, and he took a deep look at Lei Luo's back, but he had no choice but to fly to other mount rental businesses.
call out.
The Thunderbird disappeared in a flash.
The speed was about ten times that of Lei Luoyue's tidal force, and almost instantly, the Fort St. Grann on the ground became a small dot, which disappeared completely after a short while.
In other words, if Lei Luo flew to the destination with the power of the moon-induced tide, it would take at least half a year.
…
The Bright Crusade is the most powerful foreign deterrent force in the human kingdom.
Every crusader must at least have the strength of a charging fighter, equipped with weapons and armor blessed by light, possess the most devout belief in will, and carry a large number of Utolan portable war weapons, black powder bombs, magic mirrors Strong, magic mirror cannons are almost owned by everyone.
To defeat the strong with the weak, for the soldiers of the Bright Crusade, it is only the most recent requirement.
Some elite crusaders even possessed golden masks and the terrifying ability to summon angelic war weapons to descend.
As for those priests, priests, arbitrators, judges, bishops, and the great priests who can directly communicate with the God of Light and summon the divine power of Light, there is no need to say more.
Even some demigods dare not touch the majestic divine power of light summoned by the lord of light.
besides.
Under the coercion of the Cathedral of Light in Aurora, the royal families and nobles of the principalities and many foreign temples also sent a large number of strong men to assist the Crusaders in clearing up heresies.
…
Twenty-one days later.
In front of the tavern outside the Black Flame Valley, Lei Luo looked serious as he stared at the vast expanse of land shrouded in clouds covering the sky and the sun, as well as the sky-hanging wall that stretched endlessly to the end of the horizon.
Outside that is beyond the eye of the wind that is raging all year round.
Lei Luo panted slightly in the wind and dust, but he didn't care too much.
He must complete the hunting mission as much as possible within two to three days.
Push open the wooden door of the tavern.
In the chaotic environment, the mercenary who was waiting for an opportunity to find a fortune was laughing and laughing. An exotic and plump girl approached. Lei Luo didn't talk too much nonsense, and took out a silver coin and handed it to the other party.
"When will the crusaders who will go to the Black Flame Valley the soonest start?"
The girl smiled and quietly put away the gold coins.
"Two days later, Bishop Persala led a thousand crusaders to the Valley of Black Flame to support the crusaders under the command of the Latin red-clothed archbishop."
two days later
Lei Luo said: "Who led the Crusade team last time, and when did they set off?"
The girl hinted by rubbing her fingers.
After accepting Lei Luo's tip again calmly, the girl said mysteriously: "The two set off before the hourglass. On the surface, it seems that this is a crusading team led by a high-level judge, but according to internal information, This team seems to be very unusual, there seems to be something big."
Two hourglasses ago!
Big shot
It seemed that Lei Luo's generous tip made the girl quite satisfied. She whispered in Lei Luo's ear, "As far as I know, the great saint of light and the high priest of the temple of the goddess of life have also arrived."
Lei Luo's pupils narrowed slightly.
The divine power of light that the Saintess of Light can summon is hardly inferior to those of the strongest red-clothed patriarchs.
As for the high priest of the Temple of the Goddess of Life, this place is covered by the torrent of belief in the Goddess of Life. As the high priest, she can even summon the great body of the Goddess of Life to descend in person!
Coupled with a red-clothed archbishop who has already set off...
Lei Luo pursed his lips and said, "Got it."
Without saying anything more, he left the tavern and flew straight towards the Black Flame Valley.
If the expedition team has just left two hourglass hours, then there is a good chance to catch up with the team before night falls.
Rumble rumble!
Near the simple airport, countless giant birds come and go, and there are constant noises from the huge bellows of the war balloon fortress, flying from far to near.
This kind of large-scale war weapon is only produced by two countries in the Star Screen Land, Gran and Utoran.
There is no doubt that this should be the weapon of war dispatched by Aurora from Utoran.
Compared with the balloon airship, this is the real sky weapon used for war, and a huge shadow of tens of meters hangs over the ground.
Da da da da da...
A Crusader Knights riding on a one-horned horse, escorting several high-ranking priests, walked slowly. There were about 30 knights in the Knights.
Lei Luo looked serious, quietly waiting for the knights to pass by.
Facing this elite crusader knight, Lei Luo had a terrible feeling that he might not last a minute!
far away.
Tents stretched to the end of the horizon.
Occasionally, elf warrior squads from nearby tribes come and go. Judging from their powerful aura, they are likely to be the real elite of each tribe.
In the outer area polluted by the fog of night, the Crusaders have built a large number of fortifications.
The giant wooden fence can't be seen at a glance, and there are several watchtowers tens of meters high.
Some blue smoke was emitting from the black energy clothes, and Lei Luo held "Mithril Sealing the Dust" and flew towards the Black Flame Valley.
The reason why this place is named Black Flame Valley is that it is said that more than a thousand years ago, a terrifying Black Flame Demon broke in from outside the wind wall, and after raging in the Thorn Forest for several months, it was killed by the Temple of the Goddess of Nature.
Terrible demonic blood polluted the earth, not a single blade of grass could grow, so this place was named Black Flame Valley.
"stop."
A light knight stopped Lei Luo.
Lei Luo handed over his naturalist degree certificate to the other party, and his eyes looked not far away.
Several priests are casting blessing spells to dispel the spreading night fog pollution.
But as long as the fat blood nest in the depths of the mist is still there, no matter how many priests cast blessings, it will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and can only slow down the spread of pollution.
croak croak...
In the depths of the mist, the familiar cry of the blood crow came out.
"The Lord will bless you."
The knight returned the degree certificate to Lei Luo. Lei Luo didn't say much, and floated at a low altitude, chasing forward along the clear footprints on the ground.
