In the city of Ramukahen, some distance away from the Hall of Origin, the remaining members of the archaeological observation team are enjoying an exotic vacation experience here.
This city of the Tol'vir was built on the oasis of the Uldum Desert. As the most powerful of the three clans inherited by the Tol'vir for thousands of years, Ramuka was founded by the wise Pharaoh King Faori.
The pharaoh ruled under Dr. Jones, who saved his younger brother from the barbaric Neferset clan, so he was very friendly to this archaeological team that entered Uldum from outside the desert.
And this Pharaoh likes to chat with these outsiders about the customs and customs outside the desert. Under the advice of Archmage Luo Ning, the Pharaoh also sent envoys to several countries outside the desert in the past few weeks.
, this pharaoh has recently been planning to open new trade routes to strengthen the connection between the Tol'vir and the entire world. After all, their race has lived alone in Uldum for thousands of years, and it is also time to see other civilizations.
The scenery.
But no matter how bad the environment here is, these To'vir people will not leave this desert, because the great Titans left a sacred mission to the To'vir people, and they must guard that mission forever.
In a hotel in Lamu Kaheng City, Archmage Luo Ning and Archmage Ruinweaver were packing their bags. The two great shamans and Hamuul Archdruid of the archaeological team had left Austria one day ago.
Damn, they received news from their respective organizations that they must urgently go to the continent of Northrend to participate in a possible war in Ulduar that would endanger the world order.
The two archmages were also summoned by New Dalaran, but in the order issued by Dalaran, the six-person council required the two archmages to properly handle the titan ruins in Uldum, which is what Brian's report said.
The mentioned origin furnace that can reshape the world, according to the requirements of the six-member council, if they have not discovered the furnace, then they will suspend the investigation. If they find it, they will stick to the ruins and wait for the official to receive it.
"Dr. Jones said he has determined the location of the ruins and is preparing to open it today. It's really bad."
Archmage Ansrem Ruinvivor complained to Ronin beside him:
"Who would believe that there is a device under this barren desert that can destroy the world? Luo Ning, do you believe it?"
"Frankly speaking, I don't believe it either."
Archmage Luo Ning shrugged:
"On the first day we came to Uldum, we measured the magic nodes of this desert. All five magic nodes had dried up. On the contrary, the elemental power in this desert was extremely active. Although this is not normal,
But there is no way to destroy this world no matter how you look at it, but Brian's letter made it very clear that it is a Titan ruins, and the devices of those Titans are beyond our ability to guess."
"Whether what the dwarf said is true or false, we can't take the risk. In fact, it's better to suspend the inspection."
Luo Ning walked to the window and looked at the dozen heavily armed Tovir warriors at the entrance of the hotel. The Archmage frowned and said:
"Our investigation here has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Tovir people. Although Pharaoh Faoris has been unwilling to disclose the "sacred mission" of the Tovir people, I estimate that it must be related to that ruins. If we really
We have found it and opened the Hall of Origin, I am afraid these Tol'vir will expel us immediately."
"Their army is worthless!"
Archmage Ansrem snorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, several packed bags were thrown into his storage ring. The aging archmage picked up his inlaid luggage from the bedside.
Holding the staff with the arcane crystal, he said to Luo Ning behind him:
"But what you said makes sense. There is no need to conflict with these Tovir people. Let's go, let's seal up the ruins, and then take our people out of this desert... I have suffered from this terrible desert.
Enough of this dry environment.”
Ten minutes later, two gloomy archmages stood in the deserted archaeological camp. In front of them, the smoke left by the gunpowder explosion was still a little pungent, and the stone gate of the ruins deep underground in front of them had been destroyed by a huge amount of damage.
The gunpowder exploded completely.
"What's going on!"
Ansrem's eyes widened, and he threw detection magic one after another into the camp, but found no traces that were helpful to the situation at hand. Ronin squatted on the ground, looking at the magic that had not been cast yet.
There were bloodstains buried in the wind and sand, as well as a pirate's dagger that was thrown carelessly in the sand. There was still a trace of dried blood on the dagger. Luo Ning raised his head and said softly:
"Obviously, someone launched a rebellion, maybe for gold, maybe for wealth or something else. In short, Ansrem... you really have to take good care of your lawless daughter!"
——————————————————————————
"Let me go! Let me go!"
In the ancient passage leading to the depths of the Hall of Origin, the dwarf mage Jindi Sparks, who was shackled by the forbidden demon shackles, shouted in his sharp voice:
"You dirty and rude pirates! Let us go... at least give Marin some treatment! She's injured! Damn it! Are you deaf?"
"Shut up!"
"Bang"
Catherine's adjutant, the female pirate Eldara, hit the aggressive dwarf on the shoulder with the butt of her gun, causing the little dwarf to stumble, but Jindi did not stop there. She turned her head, with a pitiful look on her face.
There is a hint of viciousness, as fierce as a young wolf.
"You better watch me, you stupid pirate, my magic will tear you to pieces when I'm free!"
Jaina's mage apprentice said viciously that there were still some bruises on her cheeks, which were "mementos" left by Catherine's pirates for Jindy when they took hostages in the camp.
Next to the little dwarf, Ronin's apprentice, the human female mage Daphne Marin, was almost unconscious. There was a wound pierced by a dagger in her abdomen. If Dr. Jones hadn't been carrying her all the time, I'm afraid Marin would have been killed by these cruel and shameless people.
The pirates were left for dead in the desert.
"Oh, little Eldara, why are you so rough?"
In the flickering of the torch light, the cultural relic dealer Bard and several companions were struggling to open another door, while the female pirate Miss "Blade" Catherine slowly turned around and looked at the several people who were having a conflict. She smiled.
She waved her hand to calm down her adjutant. The beautiful and vicious female pirate swayed and walked to a few prisoners. She stood there with her hands on her hips, looking at the three people in front of her, and she said softly:
"You must understand your situation clearly, especially you, the naughty little dwarf! If you cooperate with us to find the Origin Furnace early, then I will let you go..."
The female pirate took out a slender cigarette and lit it for herself. In the fragrant smoke, her face became blurred:
"Don't think I'm lying to you, don't think I'm joking... You can ask around. I, "Knife" Catherine, never joke with human life, and I am not my shameless kind. Your life is nothing to me.
It's useless, I just need to find the furnace now... I only have one request."
As she spoke, Catherine strolled over to Dr. Jones, who was shackled and handcuffed. The human doctor, who fell in love with Catherine at first sight, said nothing at this time. He didn't even want to look at Catherine's beautiful and vicious face, but
Catherine hugged Dr. Jones tenderly from behind in a very intimate manner. Her hands went deep into Dr. Jones's clothes and caressed his strong chest. She whispered in Jones's ear:
"What's the matter? My dear Harrison, why don't you look at me? Do you hate me?"
Jones struggled to get rid of Catherine's embrace. This innocent but now heartbroken single doctor stared at Catherine. In the gloomy darkness, he said painfully:
"I used to think you were a good girl who longed for freedom. You also had a dark past, but I could accept your past. I thought you liked me too, but now, you make me feel sick, Catherine... You are
You are kidding with human life! How could you become like this!"
"Bang"
As soon as Dr. Jones finished speaking, he was pressed against the wall behind by Catherine. The female pirate looked at him with a strong look. The next moment, Catherine kissed Dr. Jones' mouth fiercely. This scene
The little dwarf Jindy let out a cry of surprise, and she hurriedly covered her eyes. After a few minutes, Catherine let go of Dr. Jones, whose lips were bitten with blood.
Dr. Jones breathed heavily and looked at the female pirate in front of him with some surprise.
"That's because you have never seen the real me clearly, Jones... Not everyone is like you, born in a noble family, and has a perfect first half of life. As early as more than ten years ago, I knew,
Love...is nothing! Don't talk about feelings with me! You idiot!"
Catherine took a deep breath of smoke, then threw a key to Jones. She pointed at the almost unconscious Miss Marin next to her and said:
"You help me open the door to the inner temple, and I will heal her. Jones, I said, I have no intention of harming you. I just want to find the origin furnace. I must find it!"
Dr. Harrison glanced at Master Daphne Marin, whose face was as pale as paper beside him, and then at Kindy Sparks, who had a pleading face. Finally, Jones gritted his teeth:
"Okay, let me help you!"
Catherine nodded with satisfaction, she snapped her fingers, and Eldara, who was behind her, stepped forward and began to skillfully treat the wound on Master Marin's abdomen, while Jones took a deep look at Catherine, and then opened the handcuffs.
, moved his wrist, and walked to the stone door. He was in a bad mood, and scolded the sweating cultural relics dealer Bud in front of him:
"Go away! Fake! It's time to show you laymen the real technology!"
After saying that, Dr. Jones snatched the tool from the pirate next to him, squatted down, and began to carefully identify the strange patterns on the stone door. Time passed little by little. When the pirates were impatient to wait, Jones
The doctor stood up, moved his shoulders, and reached out to search for certain patterns on the wall next to him. Then after knocking several times, the heavy dust-covered door in front of him slowly opened amidst the low sound of the mechanism.
The next moment, in the beating of flames, dazzling light burst out from the ruins, dazzling the eyes of all the pirates.
What is that?
It was a mountain of gold, silver and gems, just like the legendary dragon's treasure house. All kinds of gorgeous treasures were piled in every corner of this real temple. What's even more amazing is that even the floor tiles of this temple.
It is also made of pure gold, and those weird-shaped pillars are inlaid with the purest crystal diamonds.
All this shocked the pirates... The first person to react was the cultural relic dealer Bard. This guy let out an extremely excited exclamation and rushed into the temple first. The other pirates
Ye Rufang woke up from his dream and rushed in howling.
Even the calm Catherine couldn't help but step forward, but the moment she was about to step into the temple, Jones stood aside and grabbed her wrist firmly.
"Don't go!"
Jones looked at Catherine seriously. The beautiful female pirate showed a puzzled expression. Jones turned his head, a sarcastic light flashed in his eyes, and he whispered:
"Remember the "gold" we found in the Lost City of Tol'vir? The culture of the Tol'vir people respects shrines and tombs very much. They are good at using some weird curses. Every piece of gold here carries that terrible curse.
Curse...don't go! Catherine...if you don't want to spend the rest of your life like a madman."
"ah!"
While the two were talking, the little dwarf Jindi let out a scream. She pointed to the slowly opening wall on the other side of the passage. With the light of dusk pouring into the passage, outside the opened wall,
In the semi-enclosed sand dune, a twisted monster composed of countless dead bones was rushing towards the passage with murderous intent.
The terrifying, intricate skull on the monster's body made people's hair tingle, and the destructive aura emanating from its body made everyone present who was still awake couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"It's the resentful spirit guarding the temple! Run!"
Harrison carried the injured Marlin mage on his back, while Catherine turned around and wanted to escape. However, when she saw the frightened dwarf mage who was tied in place and screaming, Catherine gritted her teeth and pulled out her sword.
He cut off the chain on Jindi's wrist with one knife, then picked up the dwarf's collar and rushed back to the previous passage with Harrison.
While running, Catherine pulled off the metal pendant she carried with her from her slender neck. On the pendant, there was a special Apexis crystal inlaid. She watched the crazy guardian behind her getting more and more...
Approaching, a trace of determination flashed in Catherine's eyes.
Catherine's fingers pressed on the crystal of the pendant. However, the next moment, a terrifying vibration shook the group of people from the ground into the air. Caught off guard, Catherine could only watch helplessly as she used to contact the Dark Blade in her hand.
The Legion's pendant was thrown into the collapsed ruins.
