1523 Understand
"Here are the formulas of several potions promised before, such as the Sharp Howl Potion and the Water of Darkness, and according to the original agreement, these formulas will not be spread out..."
Raymond, who pushed the memory light ball over when he spoke, thought for a while and continued. "But I still need to go to the Netherworld in the future. I wonder what price I need to pay?"
Kalami, the chief of the Siren tribe, who took the memory light ball and checked it, was a little puzzled when he heard this.
And the Siren elder Nania, who was standing beside her, spoke with an unhappy face. "Lord Raymond, sending you to the Netherworld and allowing you to return as scheduled, the consumption of our tribe is far more than what you see..."
"I can provide the Dark Stone in full or even in excess, and I can also collect other resources belonging to the Netherworld on your behalf..."
Raymond paused here, took out the polished beads obtained from the Phantom Demon Territory, and poured them on the table in front of him.
Crystal clear and bright, the mixture of various colors made the entire tabletop round, and the faint energy fluctuations were released and rippled.
Among the Sirens present, the chief priest Miori's breathing tightened immediately, while the other Sirens looked very confused.
"Lord Raymond, your request is probably impossible to meet. Every time the altar is opened, many types of reserve resources will be consumed. You..."
"Elder Nania! Please stop talking!"
The chief priest Miori stood up and stopped Elder Nania impatiently, and then rushed to Raymond. He asked with trepidation. "Lord Raymond, can you allow me to check these jadeite beads up close?"
When Elder Nania, who was interrupted before, heard the 'jadeite beads', she was like the Siren tribe leader Karami. His expression froze and he held his breath, with disbelief in his eyes!
Raymond, who was sitting in the chair, was also stunned, but he still raised his hand to signal the chief priest Miori to do whatever she wanted.
Miori, who leaned over, had joy and excitement in her eyes. She stretched out her snow-white wings and carefully separated the beads scattered on the table according to their different colors, and then began to examine them carefully.
The invisible energy fluctuations carefully wrapped these beads and explored them. Dozens of beads that seemed to be carefully polished took the chief priest Miori half an hourglass to be thoroughly examined by her.
Raymond, who was sitting on the side, was more and more confused because he could clearly feel that the chief priest Miori's breath was becoming more and more rapid.
Because he had examined these beads before, although he could not determine their types and possible effects, the energy contained in them was a bit strange. Therefore, he took them out at this time. He also had the intention of conducting an appraisal.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the chief priest Miori's emotions were still not calm, Raymond asked. "Are these all jadeite beads? What effects do they have?"
"Jadeite beads are special substances condensed by phantom monsters. They can be used as additives in some special medicines..."
At this point, the chief priest Miori pursed her lips and thought for a moment before continuing. "But not all of them are called jadeite beads, and they also need to be processed very tediously before they can be used..."
Hearing this, the patriarch Karami coughed lightly, and the elder Nania who was standing beside him and was about to speak immediately moved her eyes away from the table and lowered her head. Then the patriarch of the Siren tribe, Karami, spoke. "Lord Raymond, if you can control the time you stay in the underworld within one month in the future, then the altar of the Siren tribe can be used by you for a long time!"
Since the patriarch of the Siren tribe, Karami, agreed, the details were negotiated in a friendly atmosphere.
There are only dozens of beads in total, and most of them cannot be called jadeite beads, because there are not many left after being eliminated. According to the requirements of the chief priest Mioli, if Raymond needs to go to the underworld again, he needs to pay two jadeite beads as the price for each trip, and the dark stone required for the altar must also be provided by him.
Although the conditions seem a bit harsh, the Siren tribe also promised to inform the processing and use of this jadeite bead, which is a disguised compensation.
Both parties are satisfied with this result, but when Raymond asked about the important events that happened recently, he got a very bad news for human wizards.
The legion fortress built by the expeditionary force sent by the Supreme Council was besieged by the spider beast army in the southern border of the nightmare plane about a month ago. The outer strongholds were temporarily retreated after a large number of them were removed.
But a week after the battle, the Legion Fortress lost contact with the Supreme Council in vain, and the Supreme Council tried to rebuild the plane transmission channel several times, but failed due to the interference of time and space turbulence.
"Lord Raymond, due to the special environment of the Cliff, all information has a delay of more than one week. If you want to get the latest news, you can only enter the Red Sea area..."
The chief priest Miori stopped talking here with an apologetic look, thinking for a moment before continuing. "By the way, the Xilan Alliance also failed because of another offensive against the Lanhai Castle, and the area covered by the netherworld energy spreading from the Lanhai Castle has expanded several times!"
The first piece of news seemed abrupt to Raymond, but it was not difficult to understand. However, the second piece of news was really incomprehensible.
Therefore, Raymond immediately asked. "The breath of the Netherworld is the basis for the formation of the dark energy of the Netherworld. Even if the Lanhai Castle is in communication with the Netherworld or is completely covered, the Netherworld should not spread outward!"
"Yes, but that's the fact..."
The chief priest Miori sighed with a puzzled look, frowned and thought for a moment, then said. "Although the details of this battle were strictly blocked by the Xilan Alliance, the information leaked from the Red Sea Naga showed that the two ends of the Lanhai Mountain Canyon where the Lanhai Castle is located should be completely blocked by the Netherworld!"
Raymond was finally shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but raise his voice. "Closed? But the gorge runs through the entire Lanhai Mountain!"
"It should be like this... Anyway, that's the information revealed by the Red Sea Naga. The delay in information transmission also prevented us, the Siren Clan, from knowing too much about what happened in the inland..."
Hearing this, Raymond couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Trinni, the lord of Lanhai Castle, claimed in the previous contact that he would transform Lanhai Castle into the City of Annihilation, and the creature of the netherworld he communicated with was the famous lich lord Emerson in the netherworld!
As for the information about the City of Annihilation, he obtained some during his trip to the netherworld this time, especially Ariel, the soul-sacrificing fruit tree under the ruins of the city, whose explanation of the City of Annihilation was also fresh in his memory.
But in the wizard plane, such a vast area is filled and accumulated by the netherworld air, and even forms a closed effect. How much netherworld air needs to be released to achieve such an effect?
Thinking of the special terrain of the gorge in Lanhai Mountain, Raymond was a little frightened.
For high-level wizards, it is not difficult to close the vast space through talismans or even some secret techniques.
But in order to close the Lanhai Mountain Canyon with the netherworld formed by the dark energy, it is not only necessary for the netherworld to completely drain the Lanhai Mountain Canyon, but also to be able to resist the repulsive force formed by the plane energy!
This is like putting an ice cube in boiling water. If you want to prevent the area it occupies from shrinking, you need to continue to expand and expand outward. Thinking about the high cost, Raymond was very frightened!
Because most of the creatures in the netherworld are the backbone of the chaotic evil camp, they are not only irrational, but also have no scruples about their own existence!
If there is a massive invasion of the netherworld creatures, the result will be unimaginable... (To be continued...)u
