He did not dare to approach any city-state, nor did he dare to come into contact with anyone. After experiencing the massacre of Morton, Grove took his caution to the extreme, suspecting that the city-states along the way had been targeted by the group of magicians who manipulated the undead.
superior.
He always believed that he had not escaped from the danger zone.
Moulton, who was moving forward in the southwest, walked for four days before accidentally encountering a solitary centaur. The meeting between the two parties in the dense forest was not very friendly, and the distrust made the two of them wary.
After a long confrontation, the centaur finally lost some of its vigilance after a magic crystal sent by Grove.
After some pointers, Grove learned that he was not far from the mist-shrouded Dawn Territory. He only needed to cross a large area controlled by the maple-blood dominant species, and then cross a great rift valley that blocked the two territories after a natural disaster.
Able to arrive.
"I advise you to take a detour." The centaur reminded, "Mapleblood is not a character that is easy to mess with. Most of the time in the past, they have always been merciless to outsiders. Compared with the Silence of the Dawn Leader, they are simply a bunch of people.
Butcher."
Even without the centaur, Grover did not intend to deal with this group of dangerous elements, but he was surprised by the evaluation of it by the creatures around the Dawn Territory. It sounded... very conscientious?
Grove clearly felt that after learning that he was going to the Dawn Territory to find the four lords, the centaur's attitude had improved significantly, and he even put down the green spear in his hand.
"In your eyes, what kind of place is Dawn Territory?"
The centaur glanced at Grove and shook his head: "I and even most of the creatures living alone in this area know nothing about the Dawn Territory."
"But it seems that Chen Xi Ling has a high reputation among you?"
"Although the Dawn Territory is mysterious, after it closes the door, it doesn't care whether you are wandering around the outside. As long as you don't invade the territory, it will always be silent and is completely harmless to us. And even if the Dawn Territory's territory
The people's outings and casual encounters are also safe."
"There used to be three well-known races in the Red Flame Mountains, the Green Leaf Elves, the Lutar Giants, and the Maple Bloods. None of them are as easy to communicate with as the Morning Leader today. What do you think we will think of these races?"
After thanking the centaur, Grove set off again.
Not long after walking around the edge of the newly formed rift valley, Grove encountered a group of elves. Knowing something about this area, he quickly realized that this might be the Qingye tribe.
Grove, who couldn't escape without the scroll, could only bite the bullet, spread his hands to show that he had no weapons, and prayed that these elves would not attack immediately, but would give him some opportunities to explain.
Surprisingly, the elves were not hostile at all. They felt an indescribable sense of awe when they saw Grove. After hurriedly approaching him, they listened to what happened and quickly helped him set up vines on the rift valley.
Build a bridge connecting the two sides.
Grove walked to the other side and waved blankly to the elves behind him, confused by their enthusiasm.
He had heard that illusions were cast on the borders of the Dawn Territory. Ordinary people would lose their way when they stepped into it, or they would stay in place, or inadvertently circle inside, and eventually return to the outside world at a certain moment.
Grove, who had no magic power, took out a scroll and wrote the words "Don't hurt me" in mud on the clean back. He raised his hands and slowly moved forward to test, praying that the people in the Dawn Leader could find him quickly. He was now
So hungry!
…
…
San Meiqiu, who was assisting Chenxi in arranging the transfer qualifications for those who met the requirements, was a little confused.
Holding a "Don't Hurt Me" sign, stepping into the illusion barrier of Dawn Territory with your upper body naked and bruises all over your body, what kind of performance art is this?
Even Coryda and Sigrid at the scene looked at each other, and the mist demon turned into an extra-large yellow question mark - the arrival of the magic wave finally gave her the ability to color.
The person responsible for surveillance in the main tower was also confused and didn't know how to deal with it, so he hurriedly came to ask for instructions.
"Bring him in."
Then Sanqiuqiu turned to Sigrid, and Lu Yu said: "You should test his purpose first. You know what I look like."
Sigrid covered her mouth and snickered, and went happily.
Today happens to be the day when the Dawn Leader's teleportation authority is released. A large number of qualified magicians are waiting in the conference room. The moment a strange man with a bare upper body and a stubble on his face is led in, their heated and expectant discussion gradually stops, and their eyes gradually fade.
I stopped at this strange man.
When this strange man felt extremely uncomfortable, a member of the combat team brought a shirt and put it on him. The order to clear the place was also given. Soon there were only a few people left in the conference room, speaking with interest.
His eyes looked at him from top to bottom.
"name."
"Grove, the magic product dealer in Morton City, they prefer to call me Grove of the God's Eye!"
Perhaps the torture of everyone's gaze had given him a lot of mental damage. Grove, who had always been calm, quickly threw out all the information that could identify him, so that someone standing not far away with a master's style could quickly identify him.
understand.
Sigrid blinked and looked thoughtfully at Dusk, who was in charge of purchasing with her.
Huang Huang came forward and whispered: "There is indeed such a person. He is geographically located in the buffer zone of the city-state of Ring Broken Golden City, at the foot of the Snow Mountain. It is said that his appraisal ability is very good, and adventurers from nearby city-states are willing to let him be their trophies.
Just look past it to prevent yourself from being wrong, and he has a good reputation, his pricing is fair, and he has a good reputation in the local area."
At the time of natural disasters and turbulence, a businessman from a small border town visited the Dawn Territory in such an embarrassing manner, which made everyone present murmur in their hearts.
And when Grove revealed his full identity and detailed what he saw and heard that night, the temperature in the conference room suddenly dropped a few points.
There is so much news that everyone only catches a small portion of it to digest.
The three briquettes hidden behind the scenes came out: "You said you are Solon's messenger. If such a big thing happened, you should report it to Solon as soon as possible. Why do you go to our Dawn Leader for all the trouble?"
Grove, who had always lowered his head, raised his head when he heard the words and was about to answer. When he saw the three briquettes that were constantly releasing black energy and having several tentacles that moved automatically without wind, he was stunned, and the muscles on his face twitched unnaturally.
"Oh, do you feel guilty after being told that?" Lulu said.
The second voice came out of the briquettes, making the expression on Grove's face even more exciting.
In his decades of career as a messenger, Grove has seen quite a few strange and grotesque things, but the visual impact suspended in front of him still made his scalp numb, and he struggled to suppress the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.
, he took out the information summary in his backpack and presented it with both hands to the "lord" who was watched respectfully by others.
Sera used her tentacles to twist the thick paper and flipped through a few pages, then she suddenly paused.
"What on earth do you mean?"
As the third voice popped out, Grove suppressed the urge to chatter in his teeth and took a deep breath: "I have rebelled against Solon and hope to join the Dawn Territory. This is evidence of my identity as a messenger and my sincerity...other than that
In addition, I can also provide you with some information about the Solon royal family’s messengers buried in surrounding areas and even within the countries of Mela.”
Sera keenly grasped the value of these words. She was not in a hurry to speak, but remained silent for a long time. Until Grove trembled uneasily, she coldly snorted: "You have come to our Dawn Territory for no reason. When will the Dawn Territory be available?"
In order to rival the prestige of the four major countries, is it worth it for you to give up your wife, daughter, and family to join?"
When asked this question, Grove calmed down and smiled bitterly.
"Lord, I have been working for Solon since I was nineteen years old. It has been twenty-seven years now, and I will be fifty years old soon." Grove raised his head and laughed at himself, "As a messenger, this will only be a drag.
They and therefore I am childless and partnerless.”
"I'm quite alone, go on."
"Twenty-seven years ago, I walked through the northern border of Solon, and went to the Theocratic Kingdom of Demorris Port. I was in the caravan in Sligo, and I left my footprints in the extremes of the four kingdoms guarded by Codzon.
.I will go wherever Solon gives me an order, like a useful wall brick, moving it around until it is scarred and old and embarrassing... I have gained a total of 27 years from Solon.
Only one gold coin."
"A gold coin!" Grove suddenly broke down emotionally. He shouted, laughing at first, and then shed tears while laughing.
This man who should have reached the age of Furui Fuha burst into tears and roared with choked sobs: "This is not even enough for me to buy the materials to awaken the magic power. When I was young, I always held unrealistic delusions, thinking that as long as I work hard and be diligent,
I will complete my mission and my reward will eventually come."
"I have completed tasks again and again, and been transferred again and again. As I grow older, I am farther and farther away from Solon, and there are fewer and fewer people traveling with me. My reward has never come, and my reward has remained the same for twenty-seven years.
…On the way to escape, I kept thinking, what on earth have I been doing in my life?”
"I seem to be getting old without doing anything..." Looking at his old and calloused hands that were dissatisfied with years of work, Grove lost control of his emotions again. "When I found that my work was never taken seriously, those people always
After dealing perfunctorily with the information I had worked so hard to obtain, I understood... In the eyes of some people in Solon, the meaning of my existence is just to satisfy their little desire for power."
"Lord, you asked me why I betrayed Solon and turned to the Dawn Territory, right..." Grove took a deep breath, "I have been cautious and never dared to make a wrong step in my life. I have spent more than forty years like this.
Year, at least for the rest of my life, I wanted to change my way of life. That night I chose to gamble my way out. It felt great, so I wanted to gamble again... If I win, I will start a new life.
Life, if you lose the bet... Anyway, you were lucky enough to save your life, so give it back!"
By this time, Grove also became free and easy.
The logic of Grove's words was not clear, and even a little disorganized, but without exception, Sanmeiqiu was willing to believe that everything Grove said was true.
It was a kind of numbness, the heart-wrenching cry of a mediocre person after being stung at a certain moment in his life. The sadness and anger in his words made him so helpless, like a wounded beast, whispering
Barking.
Most of the doubts about identity and experience were eliminated, and the issue about the corpse tide was quickly put on the table.
Grove told everything he witnessed that night, including the tearing feeling deep in his mind when the wall made of spirits penetrated his body. He also described it extremely clearly.
Lu Yu asked Sigrid: "Manipulation of corpses. Milai reported before that there is such a group of people active near the Molten Mountains, right?"
"Recent new contact reports show that this group of people seems to call themselves the Black Corpse Society, and now they have disappeared near the Molten Mountains and are missing."
"When that side disappeared, Morton City was attacked by a zombie wave. It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Lu Yu snorted coldly, "No matter what, let's inform Broken Gold City of the news first, and ask them to tell the surrounding city-states to prepare, and
Verify whether any city-state outside Morton City has been attacked."
Lulu murmured: "With the strength of those small towns, it is almost impossible to resist the zombie tide described by Grove. Their magic power is far from being able to cause qualitative change. The advantage in numbers will overwhelm everything."
Sierra heard the implication of Lulu's words - she wanted to end.
If it were a normal dispute, the Dawn Leader could just watch, but the Black Corpse Society had already massacred the city, and their actions were undoubtedly to strengthen their undead army and further develop necromancy magic.
Application is always the fastest way to develop magic, especially now that the magic wave has turned the whole world upside down. Any inadvertent exploration will bring unexpected improvements. In each magic wave, there will be a large number of schools, and geniuses will stand out and take advantage of the trend.
The pinnacle of the mela.
Let this group of necromancers slaughter wantonly, and I am afraid that their quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes soon, and they will rise to an unstoppable force at an unimaginable speed.
But Sierra always felt that something was wrong...
Just when Lulu asked Grove for more details, Lu Yu and Sera's thoughts collided, and their tentacles rose almost at the same time.
"Wait a minute!"
Lulu was stunned: "Wait? The behavior of the Black Corpse Society is crazy. This kind of man-made natural disaster will never be tolerated. We must quickly cut off their tentacles before the situation develops to the point where it is difficult to contain it!"
Both of them knew that Lulu was sympathizing with the ordinary people who had been innocently affected. They were lucky enough to escape from natural disasters, but then man-made disasters came again, and their lives were reduced to nothing, and the suffering was unspeakable.
"Just wait for another two or three days. If there is a warning, the black zombies will attack a well-prepared city-state and it may not be successful."
"But what are you waiting for?"
Lu Yu and Sera said in unison: "We want to release the news of the existence of the Black Corpse Society to the school through the Theocracy and see their reaction."
