Chapter 127 The Great Wizard Thorne - Chapter 128 Looking for the Poisonous Dragon Lizard Orchid

(I was wrong in the previous chapter, thank you Qing Linshu for becoming the king of the book! In addition, I also have to thank the omnipotent god. Thank you for the typos found. I checked it several times but didn't find it! It's amazing!)

In fact, these Gadre nobles and the giant lizards were in a state of confrontation with each other. Donald discovered that when fighting ahead, it was the giant lizards who were impatient and had just launched a full-strength attack.

The strongest silver mage has not taken action yet, so they have not killed many giant lizards.

The airship sailed to the shore of the island. Donald watched as the other people dealt with the corpses of the giant lizards they killed, but did not move the giant lizard that was frozen by Donald's spell.

After the famous bounty hunter Sog took out the more valuable parts of the giant lizard, he sprinkled a handful of powder on the bloody spot. The unpleasant bloody smell of the giant lizard on the island was immediately covered up. As expected, he is worthy of being the number one bounty hunter, and his strength and experience are not comparable to ordinary people.

As the airship landed on the island, Donald first walked down from the deck, waved his hand and put away his dozen giant lizard ice sculptures, and said with a smile on his face:

"We are really destined to meet in a place like the Double-Pedest Dragon Swamp!"

The girl mage smiled naively and said, "Yes! It's great to meet you! I liked the black tea last time!"

"Just like it! I still have some on my body. I'll invite you to have tea later!"

Although the girl was innocent and innocent, she could not hear what Donald said, but the other people on the other side were not fools. The hidden meaning of Donald's words was to test their purpose in this Double-legged Dragon Swamp.

Especially the old man named Baiyin, he was actually a strong man in Baiyin’s high-level position. Judging from his appearance and demeanor, he obviously did not have an ordinary identity.

"Thank you for your help, otherwise it would be a big trouble for us to be targeted by so many swamp lizards!"

Facing the old man's thanks, Donald said modestly:

"The old man is joking. With your strong strength, killing these giant lizards is just a matter of time. We are just helping a few people solve them in advance. Moreover, we are all humans and are descendants of Bannai. In such a dangerous environment, we should naturally help!"

The old man nodded after hearing this and was very satisfied with Donald's attitude. So he took the initiative to say:

"We are from the Thorne family members of Gadre. I am Horton Thorne, my granddaughter Emily Thorne, and these three are our family guards."

Messel and Edwina, who had got off the airship one after another, heard it and said in unison:

"Witch Thorne?"

Obviously both of them know something about the Thorne family.

When Horton Thorne saw the two silver mages coming down, he did not dare to neglect them.

"What are these two?"

Donald said:

"Let me introduce this, this is the Marquis de Edwina of the Ansel family of our kingdom, and his eldest son Ferdinand, and these three are also powerful men from the Ansel family. As for these two, my teacher, Messel, and my follower, Kelthas!"

Horton Thorne and his granddaughter Emily immediately greeted each other. Then he remembered that there was another person on his side who had not introduced him, so he said, "This Mr. Thorge is the guide we hired, and you all should know each other!"

Ferdinand said: "Of course! No one knows the most famous bounty hunter, Sorge, the slaughter-headed one!"

When he heard about himself, Sog just nodded slightly and even responded, his attitude was obviously a little cold. However, as a silver strongman, the other party was rumored to be introverted and incompatible, so Edwina and others would not care about this little rudeness.

However, Donald was very interested in the silver powerful man who was rare among the adventurers, but did not directly propose to recruit him, so as not to arouse his disgust, but said to him:

"I have opened an Adventurer Guild in my territory. There are some tasks suitable for strong people like Mr. Soger. I hope you have the opportunity to go and take a look!"

Sog raised his eyebrows when he heard this, obviously he became interested.

It is very rare to have strong men who have reached the silver level but have not settled down to gain power and status. This Sog is undoubtedly one of them. It is not difficult to obtain a title with his strength or join the army to command one side. However, Sog was born in a chaotic countryside in the south and did not like to be restricted the most, so he would rather be an adventurer with no fixed place and live by hunting bounties than follow the old path of those people.

Donald's plan is that if he can also join the Dalaran Adventurers Guild, it will definitely greatly enhance the guild's reputation and attract adventurers from all over the kingdom.

As for the time being, it would be a surprise to be able to recruit this person. Even if he couldn't recruit him, he would not lack this silver powerful man.

Knowing that the other party came from a family like Thorne, Edwina knew at the time that her previous ideas could no longer be realized. The other party was a family of mages, and it was impossible to let go of treasures like the ruins of the ancient arcane master.

So she asked bluntly:

"I don't know why Mr. Thorne, you came to the dangerous place of the Double-Pedest Dragon Swamp? You must know that this is not a good place to bring the younger generations of the family to the experience. Even the silver strong man dares to go deep into the depths of the swamp easily, and you will suffer the disaster of falling if you accidentally!"

As Donald's think tank, it is most appropriate for Edwina to come forward to figure out the other party's purpose.

However, the other party also has a big origin, so some tests seem a bit too much, which may cause dissatisfaction with the silver mage, Horton, so Edwina simply chose to ask bluntly.

At this time, Messel had already learned about the origin of the Thorne family to Donald and Kelthus.

The Thorne family is a famous mage family of Gadre, and it is also one of the top nobles in the country.

The founder of their family was Thorne, a great wizard hundreds of years ago. It is said that Thorne was a powerful wizard who reached the legendary realm. He played a decisive role in resisting a large-scale magic disaster on the continent and fighting the invasion of the abyss army. However, Thorne had a conflict with the Dawn Kingdom of Sendel because of opposition to the Church of the Radiant Triods of Gods, and soon died for unknown reasons.

Because of Thorne's death, it almost caused a full-scale conflict between Gadre and Sendel. Even the wizard king Polyn, who had never been able to deal with Gadre, was rarely on Gadre's side that time.

In addition, the fact that Sendel's side did not do much that time was really glorious, and even other neutral churches of gods also had a lot of opinions on this. Faced with the condemnation of many forces on the mainland, and the joint declaration of war between the two kingdoms of Gadre and Polyn, even Sendel, who is known as the Kingdom of Dawn and the Holy Land, had to be forced to end the plan of expansion and cede part of the interests to compensate.

Sendel's attitude means that the three glorious gods behind him have also surrendered. Although this is the reason for the general trend, the attitudes of other gods are the decisive key factors. Gadre's side can see clearly and dare not force them too much. After all, the three people standing behind Sendel are gods in the starry sky.

Therefore, he had to stop when he was better, which made Sendel suffer a big loss, which could also solve the anger in his heart.

When talking about this past event, many monks who are familiar with history sighed and became even more disgusted with the extreme church of True Gods like the Three Gods of Glory.

Speaking of the wizard Thorne, he is almost the representative of the wizard sect among the four major factions of modern wizards. After becoming a legendary strongman, Thorne wandered around the mainland, communicated with various wizard sects, explored the ancient ruins that had not been discovered, and spent ten years sorting out the most comprehensive magic inheritance of the existing wizard sect. It is precisely because of this inheritance that the Thorne family's status among wizards was established.

Mr. Thorne also understood what Donald and the others meant here, so in order to avoid conflict, he replied without any concealment:

"We came to this swamp and heard that there were precious treasures like the poisonous dragon lizard orchid inside, so we hired Mr. Soger as our guide, hoping to be lucky!"

"Poison Dragon Lizard Orchid?"

Poison Dragon Lizard Donald and others know that it is the main material of a legendary top-quality alchemy potion, which can remove almost all toxins, injuries and negative conditions against the body. It also has the effect of some dragon blood potions, which can greatly strengthen the physical constitution of the taker and increase the life span for decades.

Whether it is a weak mage or a swordsman who pursues strong physical combat power, it is a precious material that is hard to find. For top-level people such as the great nobles who cherish their lives, they are willing to pay a huge price to obtain treasures.

This rare magical plant, which is highly toxic, can only grow in a mud filled with rotten and dirty mud, absorbing nutrients in it. But paradoxically, its body must be rooted in solid soil to survive. In addition, some sub-dox creatures must be mate with highly toxic sub-doxes and contaminated with their body fluids, so that this plant can bloom and reproduce to the next generation.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to achieve such conditions. Most of the places where the poisonous dragon lizard orchids were found on the mainland are relatively dangerous areas. The relatively safe places were picked by people, and only in dangerous lands like the Double-Pedest Dragon Swamp can be preserved.

And this is not the most dangerous thing. What is more troublesome is that most places where the poisonous dragon lizard orchid are located are places where lizard-like monsters like to gather. Especially the poisonous dragon lizard orchid is not only effective for humans, but can also promote the upgrade of lizard-like monsters and obtain the heaven-defying treasures of the dragon's bloodline. At that stage, the aura it emits made all lizard-like monsters go crazy. This is also the origin of the name of the magic plant.

That's why Horton and others looked for traces of poisonous dragon lizard orchids in the settlement of monsters like the swamp lizard, but the giant lizard made dumplings.

Holden Thorne nodded and said, "Yes, it's the Poisonous Dragon Lizard Orchid! You already know our purpose. I wonder if you came here for the Poisonous Dragon Lizard Orchid?"

Edwina looked at Donald and his teacher Messel. Messel nodded calmly. Seeing the teacher nodding, Donald thought about it and nodded.

So Edwina said to Holden: "Mr. Thorne, please rest assured, we did not come for the poisonous dragon lizard, but our actions are also more important. Everyone is smart, so I hope you will not interfere with our actions!"

Holden looked like this, and replied:

"That's natural!"

Although the Thorne family is not as old as the ancient families that have been passed down for thousands of years, it has the wizard inheritance of ancestors. The accumulation over hundreds of years can be completely ranked with it. So although there are curious things, they don’t care much about Donald and the others. Even if it is a treasure like the poisonous dragon lizard orchid, it is a good thing to get it, and he will not be too disappointed if he can’t get it. This is the foundation of the big family.

But Holden did not expect that in just one day, he would regret his decision.

Chapter 128: Looking for the Poisonous Dragon Lizard Orchid

"I don't know what your purpose is, but if it's not too dangerous, I don't know if we can follow us and take a look. It can be regarded as adding some adventure experience to my granddaughter, so that I won't be bullied when I go out in the future!"

Holden touched the girl's head and said with a loving look on his face.

"And one more person will give you more help, and we can also help. As for what you are looking for, we just don't want anything!"

Horton and others were also a little curious about Donald and others' secret actions. Miss Torne Emily's eyes were even lit. If it weren't for his grandfather's control, she would have followed Donald and the others secretly, so Horton simply asked directly, with his own care and the other party's lineup was strong, and there would probably be no fatal danger.

Upon hearing Horton Thorne's request, Edwina said she needed to discuss it with her companions.

Donald meant that no matter what the situation was, they had only two solutions to the Thorne family and others. The first was to leave the other party and move forward alone, but with the strength of the Thorne family and others, it would be very likely that they would be kept up with them. When the ruins were found, according to the rules on the mainland, the people who saw each other were satisfied. The harvest that originally belonged to Ansel and Donald would be divided into at least half.

The second is to take them with you to search for the ruins. If you have more powerful people to help, you can also be faster. However, the issue of allocating treasures in the ruins is more troublesome.

As for solving these people in this swamp? They are not villains who forget their interests, and their strength cannot completely suppress their opponents. It would be fine if they are ordinary adventurers or small nobles, but if a powerful force like the Thorne family does not have one or two things to save their lives, it is basically impossible. If one of them is accidentally escaped by any one, they will really have an inseparable enemy with powerful forces like the Thorne family, and they will end unless one side falls. Moreover, the status of both sides in their respective countries is extraordinary, and it may also cause war between the two countries. At that time, more people will be implicated.

Donald would not support this kind of action that harms others and does not benefit himself first. The Ansel family also has its own honor and will not do such despicable behavior, so Edwina thought of a way to maximize profits and minimize risk losses.

"Since Mr. Thorne wants to let the younger generation see, we might as well make a deal. We will help you find the poisonous dragon lizard orchid, and you cannot interfere with our actions. Choose whether to help according to your own wishes. As for all the gains in this trip, you cannot ask for any excuses except what we give up. What about this deal?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Holden Thorne thought that he would not lose much or even gain something in such a transaction. Moreover, the other party cared so much about this secret action, he became more and more curious, so he nodded and agreed:

"The purpose of bringing Emily this time is to take her out, in addition to looking for the poisonous dragon lizard orchid, mainly to take her to experience it. As for other things, I am not considering it, so please rest assured. We will only listen more and watch more and will not reveal a trace of secrets to the outside world!"

Edwina thought to himself when she heard this: "If you get to the place later, you won't think so. A ruin of the arcane is enough to make a kingdom go crazy. Let's use the words to trap you first. Even if you regret it, you will not have the face to share many treasures!"

But she said, "Okay! The reputation of the Thorne family is still convincing! Please get on the boat, everyone."

When Donald saw Edwina easily put an experienced silver mage into the trap he set, he felt funny in his heart and had to admire the marquis' eagerness.

After deducting the two pilots operating the airship, the standard loading of the goblin airship is ten, Donald and the others, plus six people in the Thorne family, now fourteen people are on the airship, which makes the airship a little overloaded.

Fortunately, Donald, Ferdinand, Thorne's lady Emily and Kelthus were all on the deck, and the cabin would not appear crowded.

Moreover, because it is originally a low-altitude flight and does not dare to speed up in the depths of this dangerous swamp, the problem of declining flight power caused by overload is no longer a problem.

Donald walked onto the deck for the sake of easy observation and finding the right direction. Ferdinand and Kelthus were purely worried about Donald's safety. As for Miss Thorne, he was very curious, and the scenery on the deck was naturally much more comfortable than the dull cabin.

"What a magical one. This is the first time I have seen a boat that can walk in the sky. Could it be that this is the power of the legendary Sky City? After I go back, I will tell it to Jasmine and the others, which makes them envious!"

Not only was curious girls like Emily surprised by the airship, but even Horton Thorne and others were amazed.

"Is this a spaceship driven by magical power? It's so clever. I don't know which master's work is really a great invention! With such a flying ship, human life will be more convenient and quicker after it becomes popular!"

When he heard the silver mage Mr. Horton standing at the hatch, he exclaimed, and Donald smiled and explained:

"This is the product of the combination of ancient goblin technology and alchemy. It forms a driving force by converting heat energy and energy in the crystal magic core. However, the cost is very high, and even a kingdom cannot afford several such airships. If it is popularized, it may be extremely difficult!"
