Chapter 1184 Medea (Ⅰ)

Joan was also observing the weird girl.

According to the temperament of the other party's speech, Joan guessed that she might be an arcane spellcaster, and then became curious about her identity.

Due to her personality, Qiao An is not used to dealing with strangers, especially young girls.

However, in the two years since he left his hometown town, he has gone through a lot of training, and his fear of social activities has eased. Under Holden's strong instigation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward to the turbaned man. The girl bows in greeting.

"Hi, dear lady, it's a pleasure to meet you during the journey."

Although it was just a few polite words, Joan's behavior still seemed a bit cramped, at least it was much better than when she couldn't even speak and could only communicate with strange girls by passing notes.

"Hello, young sir," the strange girl looked at Joan curiously, and took a second look at his uniform-style robe of the Arcane Academy of Midgard University, "If I read correctly, you should be An academic mage?"

Qiao An nodded, thought for a while, and felt that there was no need to hide it from the other party, so she truthfully revealed her identity.

"My name is Joan Vida, and I'm a first-year student of the Master's degree at the Arcane Academy of Midgard University. These three are my good friends and graduate students at Midgard University." Joan simply told her Introduced Hyrule, Audrey and Holden.

"It turns out that you are all college students. No wonder you wear similar uniforms, and the expedition equipment is exactly the same."

The strange girl pointed to the helmet with a magic miner's lamp on Joan's head and the gas mask hanging around his neck.

"By the way, I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet!" The strange girl smiled embarrassingly, "My name is Medea Gauguin, I live in the depths of the swamp, and I'm barely a self-taught warlock, of course , in the eyes of an academic mage like you, I belong to 'Ye Luzi', which is not worth mentioning."

"Self-study or receiving college education are just two different ways to seek knowledge. There is no distinction between high and low, as long as you think it suits you." Joan said seriously.

In fact, although he received an orthodox college education, his two mentors, Master Rawls and Professor Moriarty, adopted a "sheep-herding" education for him.

No matter at Leiden College or Midgard University, Joanne mainly acquires knowledge through self-study, and only seeks advice from her tutor when encountering difficult problems.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Mr. Vader, it's not convenient for me to tell me why you came to the abyss from the surface world? There are stinky muds everywhere, and it's not a good place for sightseeing!"

Medea's eyes showed a charming emerald color, revealing strong curiosity.

Joan was a little hesitant, wondering if she should reveal the purpose of her and her companion's trip to this unknown sorceress whom she met on the way.

"Ms. Gauguin, to be honest, we came to Abyss Mire mainly to help an old friend solve his troubles."

Audrey saw that Qiao An was hesitating, so she took the initiative to answer for him.

When she used "Detection Camp" to check the "Big Flytrap" just now, Audrey found that although Medea was not considered a good camp, she didn't have the slightest evil aura on her body. For an aborigine in the Underdark, this It's very rare, and it shouldn't be some bad guy with ulterior motives.

"Ms. Gauguin, you live in a swamp area, so you are very familiar with the surrounding area. Have you seen a group of dwarf miners operating in this area recently?" Audrey continued to ask her.

"Dwarves..." Medea touched her temples wrapped in a turban, and replied after thinking: "I did see a group of dwarves passing by here two weeks ago, heading north of the swamp. Judging from the tools they carried with them , like a professional prospecting team, are those dwarves friends who ask you for help?"

Audrey nodded: "That's right, we are going to meet up with the dwarf prospecting team."

"Then you just go straight north. After passing through this wetland, you will find a labyrinth of intricate underground caves in front of you. If there are no locals to help you guide the way, you may have to go around for a long time to find the exit."

Medea frowned slightly, as if worried about Joan's future.

"There are many monsters lurking in the cave, such as tentacle monsters, throat-lock monsters, dormant pseudo-monsters... They are not good things anyway, so be careful!"

Audrey and Joann looked at each other without making a sound. It is temporarily impossible to determine whether this Ms. Medea Gauguin is warning out of good intentions or scaremongering.

"Sister Medea, since you are familiar with the environment here, why not ask you to be our guide."

Hailar eagerly extended the invitation.

"Of course, we won't let you work in vain. How much reward you need, you might as well make a price. As long as we can afford it, we will not be stingy!"

"The remuneration will be waived, I won't be short of this little money."

Medea waved her hand, showing her inadvertent arrogance and arrogance, showing her considerable wealth.

"If you really want to ask me to lead the way, it's not impossible, but there is a condition."

"What conditions?"

"Tell me honestly, what kind of trouble did your dwarf friend encounter?" Medea Gauguin said sternly. Unbearable risk, I'm sorry, I can only wish you luck."

Joan had some doubts about her at first, but after hearing her express her position, she felt relieved, thinking that this sorceress acted prudently and didn't look like someone with bad intentions.

Audrey, Holden and Hyrule also have the same perception.

The four reached a consensus after communicating through the private chat network formed by the "messaging technique", and Audrey told Medea truthfully:

"Mr. Klein's prospecting team passed a umbilicus on the way to explore the ore lode. During the period, they were attacked by a large group of petrified lizards. They were forced to withdraw from the umbilical cord and fell into a dilemma. In order to eliminate interference, they continued to explore the ore lode. Mr. Klein I had to send a letter to Joan for help."

"So this is ah……"

After listening to Audrey's words, Medea stroked her chin with her fingertips, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"The northern side of the swamp is blocked by a mountain range, and there is more than one navel leading to the opposite side of the mountain range. Maybe your dwarf friend was unlucky and happened to get into the navel where the petrified lizards nested."

"Klein and the others may not be able to find a safer umbilical cord, but there is only one umbilical cord that can go deep into the mine, and they have no choice." Joan replied softly.

"That's true!" Medea nodded, and said with great interest: "Since this is the case, then I will accompany you for a walk! It happens that I am very interested in supernatural creatures like petrified lizards, and I will help you lead the way In addition, I captured one by the way, and brought it back to study its petrochemical ability."
