As the masters of the elements, mages and elemental planes always have one way or another connection.
Not long ago, mages also built bases on various elemental planes to facilitate the collection of local resources and selection of talents. Among them, the smallest, or even small, can only be described as a station, which is the elemental plane of flame.
In the records of the Tower of Clouds, the bases of other elemental planes and outer domain planes are recorded in a certain city and a certain town, but the records of the bases of the Fire Elemental Plane are the Fire Elemental Plane Observation Room.
And when I arrived here, I found that even the observation room was an exaggerated reputation. What there is here is just a plane door buried deep in the ground and some specially preserved drinking water.
On the other hand, Mage Station saw me coming out of the portal, and he was very surprised to say hello to me. When he found out that I was not a colleague who changed shifts with him, he was obviously frustrated.
"Master Roland, if possible, please suggest to the above, simply cancel this observation point and keep the portal is enough. We went out twice a year last year and received less than two-digit visitors..."
The middle-aged mage named Moti, after seeing the emblem of truth on my chest, began to complain about the working environment of this bastard.
And the fact that he doesn't recognize me at all, undoubtedly shows that he hasn't returned to the main plane for a long time.
Although other elemental planes are hard, they are quite beneficial for mages who specialize in corresponding elemental magic. The rising tide of elements is a good thing for magic practice. The local specialty element materials can make a lot of money. There are still quite a few mages willing to apply for residency.
And in Moti's complaint, I learned that the resident mages on the Fire Elemental Plane are forcibly given to the fire mages as tasks because no one has applied for them.
This extremely harsh environment and high temperature are one reason, but the main reason is that the indigenous people of the Fire Elemental Plane are too "hospitable".
Middle and low-level elemental creatures do not need to be fed. If there is no one to drive (this is almost impossible in the main plane, no one can summon or drive them to the main plane), in most cases, the aggression is not strong, only the fire element Creatures, like mad dogs, are always active, attacking the target of each activity without hesitation.
However, the fire elemental creature is a kind of opponent with extreme value. It is good to win. If you can't win, you will explode. In the end, you will win with hard work. The elemental materials that may be collected have been blown into waste. This is their home court. , There is no end to kill, no one likes such an opponent.
In a sense, the flame element plane is the element plane closest to the abyss world. Many fire element lords themselves have the dual identities of demons and elemental creatures. Most demons have more or less this flame element in their bodies. The bloodline has also acquired a fire resistance far exceeding that of mortals.
Here, the high temperature and the air with sulphur gas make it impossible for mortals to survive, and the extremely aggressive elemental residents are a disaster for any outsiders.
As for the Mage Moti in front of me, there are faint dark lines flowing on the skin, and the slight fire flickering in the eyes is obviously from the abyss, and the red magic lines on the arms and footsteps are obviously the patent of the fire-type archmage. .
The fire archmage with the bloodline demons of the flames seems to be not low in rank, which is really a rarity.
I feel sorry for this unlucky bastard. I heard that he has been stationed for seven years. According to the normal three-to-five-year cycle of stationing procedures, it should have been replaced a long time ago, and Moti, who has completed the stationing task, should also It is the rhythm of transferring back to the headquarters for promotion and salary increase as the CEO to marry Bai Fumei... Obviously, either because he couldn't find a suitable person, or because he had been forgotten by the headquarters, he would be so enthusiastic to make friends with every passing person. I hope be able to convey.
"Only a few people come here a year. On average, I don't see a single person a month. I just can't find anyone to talk to. You are really unlucky."
"Yeah, I thought that my bloodline was suitable for such an environment, and I really earned it, not to mention seeing one person in a month, the worst time was when I couldn't see one person in a year and three months, and there were only those who went out endlessly. Mad Dog and Bomberman, I originally had an apprentice, and I only stayed for four weeks without going out without protection. I was sent back to the main plane with burns and poisoning all over my body. That little bastard was burned to black coal. With a smile, I will clean him up when I go back, but I heard from the last visitor that he has been promoted to the same level as me, it’s just…”
The result of no one talking for a long time is that once he gets the opportunity, he immediately becomes a chatter.
In the past, the apprentices I brought with me were at my same level, but I was dragged down for many years because of an expatriate job. Is it a version of a midlife crisis? It really becomes more realistic and saddened the more you look at it.
It's no wonder he's so enthusiastic, it's probably the Emblem of Truth that played a role, and I hope I can give him a few words at the council.
"Okay, trivial matter, I will communicate with the council when I go back. Is the expatriate in charge of Congressman Ryan? I am very familiar with him."
I agreed with all my mouth, and looking at the overjoyed Archmage in front of me, I still didn't add a few words of cold water.
Now, he is probably an "exile" sent by the head office. He has rarely met a "senior official" from the headquarters, and naturally tries his best to curry favor, hoping to get a turnaround.
But in my memory, I am afraid that the Council of Truth has fallen into the stage of full-scale war, and has no time to manage people stationed abroad. Overseas colonies have long been forgotten, not to mention an "overseas island" that has no resource supply, no actual combat intelligence, and no practical significance to the mainland.
I am afraid, at least in the pre-war period, Morty will be forgotten for a long time. If the organization is re-established after the war, if the original superior is killed or dispatched to another position, he will still be forgotten by the new superior...
Of course, it doesn't make sense to say anything now, after all, everything is changing.
Maybe with the progress of the crusade, the stagnation element plane becomes meaningless, and the stagnation here may be cancelled, then he will return naturally, or the mages have higher expectations for the element plane, With increased investment, as a senior here, it is also an opportunity for Moti to take off.
"Keep working hard, at least it won't get worse than it is now."
He said a big truth that sounded like a polite encouragement. At this time, it is better not to make random promises, but such an answer has already satisfied him, and Morty's diligence has also given me a lot of help.
Staying here for so long, I was attacked by the flame element day and night, and I could only practice desperately when I was bored. Although Moti's position was not high, his strength was far superior to his peers. I could feel that this dark middle-aged man, He actually broke through the legend and vaguely reached the strength of the holy rank, but his badge is only a gold rank.
Ten years ago, this Holy Rank Archmage would not be wasting time here.
And he not only understands the situation here, the level of combat power is not low, but also allows him to walk in this dangerous plane, too boring job, let him benefit a lot from the plane development, at least, it can be called anger Elemental planes passed.
Under his introduction, the recent trends of this plane were gradually revealed in front of me.
"The new God of Fire Elements? When did it happen? Why didn't you report it?!"
"I reported it. I wrote it five days ago, but I haven't gotten a response yet. Did something happen to the Tower of Clouds?"
