Chapter 171 Volcano Changes
.(About the inconsistent explanation of the old territory, the fiefdom of the Meliner family was lost before his grandfather, but their family was still a small noble at the level of gentry. They had estates such as manors or workshops in the local area. The fiefdom was not given to other nobles by the royal family, so they still had the opportunity to regain it. However, Macbeth designed to lose its foundation and bribe the noble parliament and usurped the territory in the name of some meritorious service. Because Macbeth directly annexed it, he was afraid of bad influence, so he had the opportunity to become a noble in the field. I won't explain too much about the specific plot of the Chinese website. Just learn about it. Anyway, the little trick will not be elevated for long!)
That afternoon, many adventurers discovered that two new open missions were refreshed on the mission wall of the adventurers guild.
The so-called open tasks are tasks that everyone can accept. As long as the task requirements are completed, relevant rewards can be redeemed in the guild. In contrast, si people tasks are generally required by the principal. Only one adventurer or adventurer team can accept it, or the task is difficult, and the principal allows multiple people to complete it.
Hunting the Black Scale Lizard Man: Search for traces of the Black Scale Lizard Man in the Green Cloak Forest, find and report that you can get three Jinsor rewards, kill one Black Scale Lizard Man, and bring back their heads, and you will get thirty Jinsor rewards.
Number of missions: unlimited.
Task time limit: until the task day mark is eliminated.
Note: The combat power of a single black-scale lizard man can be compared with that of the bronze first-level swordsman. I hope that all adventurers will focus on protecting their own safety.
Search for Demon Traces: Search the area around Dalaran territory. As long as you can provide the exact information about the appearance of the demon, you can receive a reward of ten goldsors in the Adventurers Guild. The core of a small demon can be exchanged for twenty goldsors in the guild supervisor or Dalaran government official.
Number of missions: unlimited.
Mission time limit: Only the first information submitted is paid, and there is no limit on paying the Little Demon core.
Note: The number of little demons is about a hundred, and there is also a powerful silver demon. I hope that adventurers will come back and report immediately after discovering it, and do not act rashly.
The emergence of these two tasks made adventurers very excited. Because the peak period of the guild was created, people usually only took on simple tasks such as finding herbs, escorting caravans, etc., or entered the forest to hunt monsters and make some money.
This time, the sudden appearance of alien races and even the missions about the Abyss Demons did not make these adventurers excited? Moreover, the publishers of these two missions were the young lord signed by Dalaran.
All adventurers know that the tasks issued by the genius mage have always been rewarding, and there is basically no situation that cannot be cured.
Compared to the task of hunting the black-scaled lizard man, the task of searching for the demon's trail is undoubtedly easier, and the reward is relatively generous. Everyone knows the strength of the little demon. Any adventurer can pick up one or two of them alone, and as long as he gets the core, he can exchange for twenty goldsors. And killing a black-scaled lizard man with bronze strength is only a reward of ten goldsors. Compared with the two, you will know that it is more suitable.
So even when facing the demons that everyone fears, they are fearless. At worst, they will run away immediately when they encounter the silver demon. If they can take the opportunity to kill a few little demons, then this mission will be a big profit.
While all the adventurers in the Dalaran Territory were busy with those two open missions, senior forces in the territory such as Donald were working hard to study the solution to the sealed space channel.
If it is simply destroying the structure of the channel, it is relatively simple. It is just too unstable to destroy the spatial structure. In addition to closing the channel, it is likely to cause the channel explosion, including the surrounding environment to completely destroy all matter. The more serious consequence is that the channel is not closed, but instead expands due to structural changes.
The latter two situations were not what Donald and the others wanted to see in any case, so Messel was ready to choose a milder way to close the abyss passage. This greatly increased the difficulty of their research.
And according to Donald's opinion, this passage cannot be completely closed because it is a rare and excellent way to obtain demonic materials.
Although this practice is a bit suspicious of robbing food from a tiger's mouth, including the conservative witch, everyone believes that such adventure is worth it. Demon materials have always been in short supply in the hands of mages in the main world, especially for wizards who are proficient in cursing spells. The corpses and blood of demons can be used to create some precious witchcraft talismans. They are small, convenient and have a good effect. Their value is much higher than that of ordinary spell equipment, and the price has always been high among mages.
For Donald, having this abyss passage is equivalent to a continuous supply of spiritual power. In addition, he is also very curious about the effects of the witchcraft talismans introduced by Xintiya. Compared with the amulets in the Creation Factory redemption list of the Book of Truth, these witchcraft talismans are more indiscriminate and can often play unexpected roles.
Finally, after several days and nights of sleepless research, Messel and others finally designed a complex arcane array that can effectively close the small plane channel and then open the seal again when needed.
Although it has not been tested yet, Donald has scanned the entire array map into the Book of Truth and ordered this artifact to be deduced. After being tested by the Book of Truth, as long as there is no external force change, the effect of this magic array can be determined, and once it is arranged, it can completely seal the small abyss passage.
With a clear understanding, Donald no longer asked the teachers and the others to continue monitoring and directly joined forces to arrange the finished product.
Just as they had just made the finished product and had not had time to place the seal underground where the abyss passage was located, in the eastern part of Hongfeng Town, dozens of miles away from Dalaran, in the Izumo Mountains north of Lord Gerry, the rumbling sound was accompanied by a dark red fire, and the smoke and dust caused panic among the residents in the distance.
The older generation remembers that there was a small volcano there. It erupted many years ago, causing a fire in nearby forests. However, because the scene of the incident was a distance from the human villages and towns, there were no casualties.
This time the volcano changed, attracting the attention of some bold adventurers.
The three adventurers who were doing missions in Grey Town had a stir and discussed whether to look in that direction together.
"Not good! The volcanic eruption is very dangerous and there is no benefit to get it. We still have a task to finish!"
The more cautious or timid among the three said.
Another adventurer who proposed it said: "This second-level small task is nothing. It can be easily completed when we come back. Let's go and have a look. Anyway, in general, volcanic eruptions will not erupt in a short time. It takes a certain amount of time to brew. This is our good opportunity! And I heard from the old people nearby that this volcano has not been moving for several years. It is like an extinct volcano. Now there is a sudden change without any signs. Maybe it is caused by some external force. Have you forgotten the open task released by the guild two days ago?"
The third adventurer was very excited and said with great support: "Not bad! As long as we watch it a little further away, even if we encounter an outbreak, we can escape the eruption range smoothly at a speed that exceeds the ordinary people."
"Oh well!"
The first adventurer had to agree with their opinions after listening to his companions' persuasion, but he was still wary.
So San Juren temporarily put the second-level task that was dispensable to them and rushed towards the direction where the firelight appeared.
Three powerful adventurers quickly crossed a forest with their body movements, and after more than ten minutes, they began to approach the mountainous area where the volcano was located.
When they stood on a small hill opposite the crater and looked forward, the three of them discovered creatures not far ahead.
Several small, half-human tall, black and red creatures were climbing on the edge of the volcano. And the low crater just raised a stream of black smoke and fire. It seemed that just a precursor just now, and it was still early to erupt.
"Look, it's a little devil!"
"I'll just say it! This volcanic change must be related to those demons. Beijun hasn't seen demons appear for many years. This time we are developing!"
The cautious adventurer immediately grabbed the two companions and said, "You don't want to hunt the little demon! As mentioned in the mission, there is a silver demon here! With our strength, as long as we bump into that big guy, we will definitely not be able to run far!"
Another adventurer said carelessly: "I said you shouldn't be so timid, okay? The silver demon is not so easy to encounter by us. It's more important to take the opportunity to kill a few more demons..."
Before this person could finish his words, he saw both companions wide open their eyes, as if they had seen something terrible. When he looked back, he couldn't help but look the same.
I saw a huge and ferocious figure standing under the black smoke at the edge of the crater.
"This, this is..."
"Stop talking! Run!"
The cautious adventurer immediately pulled up his two companions and ran down the mountain.
They ran down the hill in one breath, and the three adventurers looked frightened. They didn't plan to go back to Lord Gerry's command, but turned west and ran towards Hongfeng Town, intending to report the news to the office opened by the Dalaran Adventurers Guild in Hongfeng Town to complete the opening mission.
The three of them had just left the forest area and were already looking at Hongfeng Town, when they saw a young man dressed in a noble suddenly appeared in front of them. Isn’t it the lord of Dalaran, the young genius mage Donald, whom they had seen from afar?
"Lord!"
The three adventurers cried out in surprise.
"What's going on with you? Are you in any danger?"
The three of them were a little excited and nervous, and they were not good at saying anything. It was the cautious adventurer who explained the matter clearly.
"We went to see the volcanic eruption and encountered the demon, and also saw the silver demon..."
After hearing this, Donald couldn't help but show joy on his face and said to the three adventurers: "You have done a good job. Even if you complete this mission, I will give you an additional 100 Kinthor reward. Go back to town first, and I'll leave it to me!"!
Chapter completed!
