Chapter 1710 The Missing Fairy

Seeking knowledge is Joan's greatest pleasure. Since the day he was promoted to a level 9 mage, he has been learning new spells without sleep or food.

In the blink of an eye, two weeks passed, and only one-third of the 34 fifth-level spells were learned. An unexpected letter of help made Joan suspend his study of spells and hurried to the dark region.

This letter from the underground world was written by the moth poet Cosette, asking Joan to take time to come to "Garden Township" in the second district of the Underdark as soon as possible, and ask him for help.

Qiao An happened to have just learned the 5-ring "teleportation technique", and according to the coordinates stored in the "navigation compass", he cast the spell directly to "Huayuan Township".

After a brief trance, Qiao An successfully completed the teleportation, looked up, and found that he was in the middle of an open space surrounded by a circle of "giant mushrooms".

The "giant mushroom" like a mansion has many small windows, and the Grizzlies living in the mushroom house flicker with fireflies, adding some warmth to the lack of light in the underground world through the windows.

"Dr. Vader, you came so fast!" A girl called from behind.

Joan looked back and saw a goblin girl in a silver tunic, spreading a pair of wide scaled wings and gliding towards this side lightly. A pair of eyes that were almost exaggerated and a delicate and small nose, mouth, and ears. In stark contrast, his dark eyes were filled with surprise.

"Cosette, long time no see." Joan waved to the moth poet and asked her straight to the point, "You wrote to ask me to help you find the whereabouts of a friend, can you tell me in detail what happened to your missing friend?" What happened?"

Cosette retracted her wings and landed lightly in front of Joan, with a sad expression on her pretty face.

"The name of the missing girl is 'Patty'. She is a mutual friend of sister Evelyn and me. Patty is a ghost, with an introverted and sensitive personality, and a little timid. She often sheds tears because of trivial things. Evelyn nicknamed her the 'crybaby'."

"About 300 miles away from Huayuan Township, there is a lake named 'Giant's Cup', which covers an area of ​​more than 10,000 mu. It is the largest underground water body I know. It is said that the bottom of the lake is connected to the ocean, and the lake is too salty to enter. , Patty lives in a cave by the lake."

"Two weeks ago, Patty was supposed to come to Huayuan Township as a guest according to the agreement, but she was late, and she didn't reply to the 'short message technique', so we lost contact for no reason."

"I waited for several days, but there was no news from her. Worried about an accident, I flew to the 'Giant's Cup' to find her."

"When I arrived at the cave where Patty lived in seclusion, I didn't see her. There seemed to be a fierce fight in the cave. There were blood stains on the scene, and the tables, chairs and furniture were overturned to the ground."

"Seeing the messy scene in the cave, I became more and more worried about Patty's situation, so I went to the goblins living by the lake to inquire about her whereabouts. Only then did I learn that poor Patty had been kidnapped."

Joan listened silently to Cosette's story about Patty's experience, and at the same time recalled the records about creatures like "ghost" in "Wares Monster Illustrated Book" (fairy sub-volume).

"Ming Ling" is said to be a kind of goblin living underground, and it is a close relative of "Nymphs" and "Tree Spirits" in the surface world.

Joan has never seen the ghosts with his own eyes, but he is no stranger to dryads. In the back mountain of his hometown, Delin Town, there used to be a dryad who lived in symbiosis with the black oak tree. He was petite and cute, and aroused pity.

As for Mingling's other goblin close relative, "Ningfu Fairy", it is even more famous for its bewitching beauty. It is said that if someone sees this stunning goblin living in the lake, they will fall in love at first sight, and they will drown themselves in the water. Turned into a dead soul, to be with Fairy Ningfu forever.

Since the ghost is a close relative of the dryad and the nymph, Joan guessed that Patty must be more beautiful and charming than the illustrations of the ghost depicted in the book. In the middle of the courtship, he became angry from embarrassment, and it is not surprising that he kidnapped this pretty beauty.

"Have you found out who the villain who kidnapped Patty is?" Joan asked Cosette.

The moth girl hesitated for a moment, her trembling voice revealed the fear in her heart.

"It is said... that the lord of the 'Giant's Cup', Shanruyar, who is called the 'Sultan of the Lake' by the locals, ordered his servants to break into Patty's house, take the poor girl by force, and escort her to the mountain. The palace in the lake in Ruial, no one has seen Patty since then, and it is not known whether she is still alive."

"The Sultan of the Lake?" Joan muttered to himself, "This bully lives in an underground saltwater lake. Could it be a water monster?"

Cosette nodded her head, and replied in a low voice: "I have never seen Shanruyal, but I heard that it is indeed a water monster, to be exact...an ancient and evil mythical aboleth."

Joan can be regarded as a well-informed person who has withstood the test of strong winds and waves. However, when he heard Cosette say the word "mythical aboleth", he still couldn't help but his heart trembled, and his face changed slightly!

"Aboleth" is one of the three most famous strange monsters in Vales Tianyu, and it is as famous as "Beholder" and "Mind Flayer".

It is said that this hermaphrodite monster lurks in the primordial oceans and subterranean lakes long before the gods descended on the Valesian universe, using psychic powers to enslave other creatures.

In the long prehistoric era, the aboleth ruled all living beings in the primitive ocean, and had the supreme status like a god, but the coming of the true god changed everything.

The empire built by the aboleths was destroyed by the gods. The good times are gone forever. The former kings were reduced to homeless dogs. Only a handful of aboleths escaped the sanction of the gods and hid in the dark and secret waters. Waiting patiently for the opportunity to rise again.

Like the "mind flayer", the aboleth is also a natural psychic creature. It is said that many psychic powers that have been handed down in the world were originally invented by the aboleth.

In addition to psychic powers, aboleth also has a more magical racial talent.

Unlike those species that can only acquire knowledge through acquired learning, such as humans, aboleths can pass on their memories to their offspring. Knowledge is like bloodlines and physical characteristics, passed down from generation to generation in this ancient race. Accumulate and expand.

Just because experience and knowledge can be passed on to future generations, aboleth believes that he is "immortal". The birth of every new life is implanted with the memories of all blood relatives dating back to prehistoric times, just like the countless souls of ancestors. reincarnation. They are both individuals and groups; they are descendants and ancestors; they are themselves and others; they are reality and the past... like the reflection of the long river of history, the echo of endless time and space.
