Chapter 877 76. Love in the Desert. The Second Insurance (Part 1)
In the city of Ramkahen, some distance from the Hall of Origins, the remaining members of the archaeological observation team enjoyed an exotic holiday experience here.
This tol'vir city was built on the oasis of the great desert of Uldum. As the most powerful of the three big clans passed down by the tol'vir for thousands of years, Ramkahen was led by the wise pharaoh Faori. The Pharaoh was kind to the archaeological party that had entered Uldum from beyond the Great Desert because Dr. Jones had saved his brother from the savage Neferset clan.
And this pharaoh likes to chat with these outsiders about the local conditions and customs outside the great desert. Under the suggestion of the archmage Luo Ning, the pharaoh sent envoys to several countries outside the great desert a few weeks ago , this pharaoh recently planned to open a new trade route to strengthen the connection between the tol'vir and the whole world. After all, their race has lived alone in Uldum for thousands of years, and it is time to see other civilizations the scenery.
But no matter how bad the environment here is, these tol'vir will not leave this desert, because the great titans left a sacred mission to the tol'vir, and they must guard that mission forever.
In a hotel in the city of Ramkahen, Archmage Rhonin and Archmage Luinvivor are packing their bags. The two great shamans and Archdruid Hamuel of the archaeological team have left Austria one day ago. Dam is dead. They have received news from their respective organizations that they are going to the Northrend continent urgently to participate in a possible war in Ulduar that threatens the world order.
The two archmages were also summoned by the new Dalaran, but in the order issued by Dalaran, the Council of Six required the two archmages to properly deal with the Titan ruins in Uldum, which is what Bryan reported. The melting pot of origin that can reshape the world mentioned, according to the request of the six-member council, if they haven't found that melting pot, then suspend the investigation, if they find it, they will stick to the ruins and wait for the official to receive it.
"Dr. Jones said that he has located the ruins and is going to open it today. It's too bad."
Archmage Ansrem Luinvervor complained to Ronin beside him:
"Who would believe that there is a device that can destroy the world under this barren desert? Ronin, do you believe it?"
"Frankly, I don't believe it either."
Archmage Rhonin shrugged:
"On the first day we came to Uldum, we measured the magic power nodes of this desert. The five magic power nodes have all dried up. On the contrary, the elemental power activities in this desert are extremely active. Although this is not very normal, But no matter how you look at it, there is no way to destroy this world, but Bryan’s letter made it very clear that it is a titan relic, and the devices of those titans are beyond our ability to speculate.”
"No matter what the dwarf said is true or not, we can't take this risk. In fact, it's better to suspend the investigation."
Ronin walked to the window and looked at the dozen or so fully armed tol'vir warriors at the entrance of the hotel. The archmage frowned and said:
"Our investigation here has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the tol'vir people. Although Pharaoh Phoeris has been unwilling to reveal the "sacred mission" of the tol'vir people, I guess it must be related to that ruins. If we really If we found it and opened the hall of origin, I am afraid that these tol'vir will expel us immediately."
"Their army is worth nothing!"
Archmage Ansrem snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, several packed bags were thrown into his storage ring. The aging archmage picked up his inlaid Holding the staff of the arcane crystal, he said to Ronin behind him:
"But what you said is also reasonable. There is no need to conflict with these tol'vir people. Let's go, let's seal up the ruins, and then take our people out of this desert... This terrible desert, I have suffered Enough of the dry environment."
Ten minutes later, two somber-faced archaeologists stood in the empty archaeological camp. In front of their eyes, the smoke left by the gunpowder explosion was still a bit pungent, and the stone gate of the ruins that went deep into the ground in front of them had been destroyed by a huge amount of people. The gunpowder exploded completely.
"How is this going!"
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 in front of him, while Ronin squatted on the ground, looking at the man who hadn't been detected yet. The blood buried in the wind and sand, and a pirate dagger that was thrown in the sand, there was still a trace of dried blood on the dagger, Luo Ning raised his head and said softly:
"Obviously, someone has launched a rebellion, maybe for gold, maybe for wealth or something, anyway, Ansrem...you really have to take care of your lawless daughter!"

"Let me go! Let me go!"
In the ancient passage leading to the depths of the Hall of Origins, the dwarf mage Jindi Sparks, who was shackled by the enchanted shackles, shouted in his sharp voice:
"You dirty and rude stinking pirates! Let us go... at least give Marin some treatment! She's injured! Damn! Are you deaf?"
"Shut up!"
"boom"
Catherine's adjutant, the female pirate Eldara, smashed the gun butt on the shoulder of the aggressive dwarf, causing the little dwarf to stagger, but Jindy didn't stop there. There is a touch of viciousness, as fierce as a young wolf.
"You better keep an eye on me, you stupid pirate, when I'm free, my magic will tear you to pieces!"
Jaina's mage apprentice said viciously that there were still some bruises on her cheeks, which were the "commemoration" left by Jin Di when Catherine's pirates took hostages in the camp before, and after being handcuffed Beside the little dwarf, Ronin's apprentice, the female human mage Daphne Marin, was about to lose consciousness. Her abdomen had a wound pierced by a dagger. If Dr. Jones hadn't been carrying her on her back, Marin would have been killed by these vicious and shameless people. Pirates left to die in the desert.
"Why, little Eldara, why are you so rough?"
In the light of the torch, the antiquities dealer Bud and several companions are struggling to open another door, while the female pirate "Sharp Blade" Miss Catherine turned around slowly, looked at the few people who were in conflict, and smiled. She waved her hand to calm down her adjutant. This beautiful and vicious female pirate swayed and walked to several prisoners. She stood there with her hips on her hips and looked at the three people in front of her. She said softly:
"You have to recognize your own situation, 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, and don't think I'm joking... You can ask, I, "The Blade" Catherine, never joke about human life, and I'm not my shameless kind, your lives are important to me Useless, I just need to find the furnace now... that's all I ask."
As she spoke, Catherine strolled over to Dr. Jones who was in shackles and handcuffs. The human doctor who fell in love with Catherine at first sight said nothing at this moment. He didn't even want to look at Catherine's beautiful and vicious face, but Catherine hugged Dr. Jones gently from behind with a very intimate gesture. Her hand penetrated into Dr. Jones's clothes, stroking that strong chest, and she whispered in Jones' ear:
"What is it? 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 wanted to be free. You also had a dark past, but I can accept your past. I thought you liked me too, but now, you make me feel sick, Catherine... you are in Make fun of people's lives! How did you become like this!"
"boom"
As soon as Dr. Jones finished speaking, Catherine pressed him against the wall behind him. The female pirate looked at him with a strong gaze. The next moment, Catherine kissed Dr. Jones' mouth fiercely. The little dwarf Jindy let out an exclamation, and she hurriedly covered her eyes. After a few minutes, Catherine let go of Dr. Jones, whose lips were bloodstained by Catherine's bite.
Dr. Jones breathed heavily, and looked at the female pirate in front of him with some doubts.
"That's because you have never seen the real me clearly, Jones... Not everyone is like you, born in a noble family, and had a perfect first half of life. I knew it as early as ten years ago, Love...is nothing! Don't have any feelings for me! You idiot!"
Catherine took a deep breath, and then threw a key to Jones. She pointed to Miss Marin, who was almost unconscious, and said:
"You help me open the door to the inner hall, and I'll heal her, Jones, as I said, I don't intend to hurt 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, and then at Jindy Sparks, who was begging. Finally, Jones gritted his teeth:
"Okay, I'll help you!"
Catherine nodded in satisfaction, she snapped her fingers, and Eldara, who was behind her, stepped forward and began to skillfully treat the wound on Master Marlin's abdomen, while Jones took a deep look at Catherine, and then opened the handcuffs , moving his wrists, and walking to the stone gate, he was in a bad mood, so he scolded the cultural relic dealer Bud, who was sweating profusely in front of him:
"Fuck off! Counterfeit! It's time to show you laymen the real technology!"
After finishing speaking, Dr. Jones snatched the tools from the nearby pirates, squatted down, and began to carefully identify the strange patterns on the stone door. Time passed bit by bit. When the pirates were waiting impatiently, Jones The doctor stood up, moved his shoulders, and stretched out his hand 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 with the sound of a low mechanism.
The next moment, amidst the beating of the 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 precious stones, just like the treasure house of the legendary dragon. All kinds of gorgeous treasures were piled up in every corner of this real temple. What is even more amazing is that even the floor tiles of this temple, It is also made of pure gold, and the purest crystal diamonds are inlaid on those strangely shaped columns.
All of this stunned the pirates... The first person to react was Bud, the cultural relic dealer. This guy let out an extremely excited exclamation, and was the first to rush into the temple. The other pirates Yemengrufang woke up, howling and rushing in.
Even the calm Catherine couldn't help stepping forward, but just as she was about to step into the temple, Jones, who was standing aside, grabbed her wrist firmly.
"do not go!"
Jones looked at Catherine seriously, and the glamorous female pirate showed a puzzled expression. Jones turned his head, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and he whispered:
"Remember the "gold" we found in the lost city of the tol'vir? The tol'vir culture respects shrines and tombs, and they are good at using some weird curses. Every piece of gold here carries that terrible Curse...don't go! Catherine...if you don't want to spend the rest of your life like a lunatic."
"ah!"
During the conversation between the two, the little dwarf Jindy let out a scream. She pointed to another wall that slowly opened in the passage, and with the twilight light pouring into the passage, outside the opened wall, In the semi-enclosed sand dune, a twisted monster composed of countless dead bones is rushing into the passage with a murderous look.
The horrible, intertwined skulls on the monster's body made one's hair tingle, and the destructive aura overflowing from its body made everyone who was still awake at the scene couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"It's the wraith guarding the temple! Run!"
Harrison picked up the injured Marlin mage on his back, while Catherine turned around and wanted to escape, but when she saw the dwarf mage who was tied up in place screaming and terrified, Catherine gritted her teeth and drew out her waist knife. He cut off the chain on Jindi's wrist with one knife, and then, holding the dwarf's collar, he rushed back to the previous passage with Harrison.
While running, Catherine tore off the metal pendant she carried with her from her slender neck. A special Apexis spar was inlaid on the pendant. Seeing the crazy guardian behind her become more and more Approaching, a flash of determination flashed in Catherine's eyes.
Catherine pressed her finger on the spar of the pendant, but the next moment, a terrifying shock threw the group of people from the ground into the air. Caught off guard, Catherine could only watch helplessly. The Legion's pendant was flung into the crumbling ruins.
"NO!!! My...eternal life!"
