Chapter 283 Black Flame Valley
Lei Luo looked serious after passing the mission scroll to the female scholar beside him.
The assessment tasks may seem simple, but in fact they are extremely challenging.
first.
The mission goal of the assessment is to go to the Black Flame Valley in the southeast of the Thorn Forest, which is almost at the edge of the wind wall area on the Star Curtain Land map.
The so-called wind wall refers to the edge of the wind eye of the star curtain land opened by Aurora's bright creator.
Outside the wind wall.
Years of raging winds are the essential law of Stormwind Continent. The harsh living environment has created countless terrifying monsters, which survive tenaciously outside the wind wall. Almost every monster has a terrifying vitality.
As far as humans are concerned, if they don't have the strength of a charge fighter, they will be torn apart by the strong wind the moment they step out of the wind wall.
In addition to many terrifying monsters.
On the Storm Continent, there are countless alien civilizations, struggling to survive on this barren continent.
Although mankind's exploration of the Storm Continent is blocked by the Land of Night, there are still some pocket storm eyes between the two places, which hide weak Level 1 and Level 2 civilizations.
Some of these weak civilizations rely on the protection of certain legendary creatures and survive in the eye of the natural wind.
Some have built temples and carved out an eye of the wind on their own. They do their best to protect their own eye of the wind, just like humans protect their homes. Any intruder will be regarded as an enemy of life and death by them!
This way.
The remote areas of the wind wall are often relatively dangerous areas for each eye of the storm.
Many so-called adventure places in human principalities, such as the Magic Eagle Forest and the Furnace Mountains, can almost be regarded as safe greenhouses compared to the edges of these wind walls.
obviously.
The church discovered another fat blood nest pollution site in such a remote area!
As early as a year ago, there was a night evil god who sneaked in, named the God of Ink Crow, and was killed by the Church Crusaders. Lei Luo harvested 800g of divine blood from the Tree of Truth. Now two years have passed since the blood-dwelling invasion. Over the years, the power of this polluted place has probably exceeded ordinary people's imagination.
On this kind of battlefield, killing Xueyan and the wizard...
What's more, the mission can only be completed within forty-five days.
Based on the straight-line distance from the Principality of Gran to the contaminated area, even if we hire the fastest bird mount on the market, it will probably take about twenty days!
After going back and forth like this, the time left for everyone to carry out the task, even under the best conditions, is probably only about five days.
However, the conditions for completing the mission are not a certain number of heretics killed. Only the two people with the highest number of kills can obtain the degree certificate.
A wry smile.
really.
Compared with the difficulty of obtaining a naturalist degree certificate, it is almost a child's trick compared to the difficulty of obtaining a degree certificate of an upanishadist.
So……
How to get more task time is the key.
If we can't reach the mission location within twenty-two days, no matter how strong we are, it will be empty talk.
After the mission scroll was circulated among everyone, it returned to Serasto's hands.
"Then, let the mission begin."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The twenty people in the room flew out from the windows of the ten-story tower at almost the fastest speed.
Lei Luo used the power of the moon's tide to fly towards the airport, but several people surpassed Lei Luo at a faster speed and disappeared in the sky.
After a while.
After Lei Luo flew to the airport, he landed at the largest mount rental market without hesitation.
Without giving the other party a chance to ask questions, Lei Luo said directly: "I want to rent the fastest giant bird to reach the nearest airport in the Black Flame Valley of the Thorn Forest. I want the fastest one!"
"Ah! What a coincidence, two people have just rented the Selmis Yalong here at a high price, but there is also a Thunderbird here. The closest place to the Black Flame Valley should be the White Moon Elf Tribe, about two A journey of eleven to twenty-two days.”
Lei Luo's face froze slightly, but he paid the gold coins without hesitation.
"Let's go now!"
Lei Luo had just left when another old scholar landed and said the same thing as Lei Luo.
However, the speed of other giant birds is difficult to meet the mission requirements.
The old man's expression was ugly, and he took a deep look at Lei Luo's leaving figure, but he could only helplessly fly to other mount rental merchants.
call out.
The thunderbird disappeared in a flash.
The speed was about ten times that of Lei Luo Yue's tidal force. Almost in the blink of an eye, Fort Saint-Grand on the ground turned into a small dot, and disappeared completely after a short while.
In other words, if Lei Luo uses the power of the moon's tide to fly to his destination, it will take at least half a year.
…
The Crusaders of Light are the most powerful external deterrent force of the human nation.
Every Crusader must have at least the strength of a charge fighter, be equipped with weapons and armor blessed by the light, possess the most devout belief in will, and carry a large number of Utolan portable war weapons, black powder bombs, and magic mirrors. Strong, magic mirror cannon, almost everyone has it.
For the soldiers of the Light Crusaders, defeating the strong with the weak is just the latest requirement.
Some elite Crusaders even possess golden masks and have the terrifying ability to summon angelic war weapons to come.
As for those priests, priests, arbiters, judges, bishops, and great leaders of light who can directly communicate with the God of Light and summon the power of light, there is no need to say more.
Even some minor gods dare not touch the majestic divine power of light summoned by the Great Leader of Light.
besides.
Under the pressure of Aurora's Cathedral of Light, the royal nobles of various principalities and many foreign temples also sent a large number of strong men to assist the Crusaders in clearing out the heretics.
…
Twenty-one days later.
In front of the tavern outside the Black Flame Valley, Lei Luo had a serious look on his face as he stared at the vast land in front of him that was shrouded in dark clouds and the endless wall extending to the end of the horizon.
Outside, there is the eye of the storm where strong winds rage all year round.
Lei Luo panted slightly in the dust, but couldn't care too much.
He must complete the hunting mission as much as possible within two to three days.
Push open the wooden door of the tavern.
In a chaotic environment, the mercenaries were looking for opportunities to get rich. The mercenaries were laughing loudly. An exotic and plump girl approached. Lei Luo didn't talk too much and took out a silver coin and handed it to her.
"When will the crusaders set out for the Black Flame Valley the fastest?"
The girl smiled and put away the silver coins calmly.
"Two days later, Bishop Persala led a thousand Crusaders to the Black Flame Valley to support the Crusaders under the command of the Latin Red Archbishop."
Two days later?
Lei Luo said: "Who led the last Crusade team, and when did it set off?"
The girl rubbed her fingers together as a hint.
After taking Lei Luo's tip again calmly, the girl said mysteriously: "The two set off in front of the hourglass. On the surface, this is a crusade team led by a high-level judge, but according to internal information, This team seems to be very unusual, there seems to be some big shot.”
Two hourglasses in front!
Big shot?
It seemed that Lei Luo's generous tip made the girl quite satisfied. She whispered in Lei Luo's ear: "As far as I know, the great Saint of Light and the high priest of the Temple of Life are also here."
Lei Luo's pupils shrank slightly.
The divine power of light that the Holy Lady of Light can summon is hardly inferior to that of the most powerful red-clothed hierarchs.
As for the high priest of the Temple of the Goddess of Life, this is the place where the faith of the Goddess of Life is shrouded. As the high priest, she can even summon the great Goddess of Life to come in person!
Plus a red-clothed leader who has already gone on an expedition...
Lei Luo pursed his lips and said, "I know."
Without saying anything more, he left the tavern and flew straight towards the Black Flame Valley.
If the expedition team has just left two hourglass hours, then there is a good chance of catching up with this team before night falls.
Rumble, rumble!
Near the simple airport, countless giant birds come and go, and there are constant noises coming from the huge bellows of the War Balloon Fortress, flying in from far and near.
This type of large war weapon is produced by only two countries in the Land of Star Curtain, Gran and Utoland.
There is no doubt that this should be the war weapon that Aurora dispatched from Utolan.
Compared with balloon airships, this is a sky weapon that is truly used in war. A huge shadow of tens of meters covers the ground.
Da da da da da…
A group of Crusader knights riding on one-horned horses escorted several high-ranking priests and walked slowly past. There seemed to be about thirty people in the group.
Lei Luo looked solemn and waited quietly for these knights to pass by.
Facing this elite Crusader knight, Lei Luo had a terrible feeling that he might not be able to last a minute!
far away.
Tent after tent, stretching to the end of the horizon.
Occasionally, teams of elf warriors from nearby tribes appear. Judging from the powerful aura on their bodies, they are probably the real elites of each tribe.
In the outer areas polluted by the night fog, the Crusaders have established a large number of fortifications.
The huge wooden fence stretches as far as the eye can see, and there are several watchtowers tens of meters high.
The black energy clothes emitted a little blue smoke, and Lei Luo held the "Mithril Sealing Dust" and flew towards the Black Flame Valley.
The reason why this place is named Black Flame Valley is because it is said that more than a thousand years ago, a terrifying black flame demon broke in from outside the wind wall. After wreaking havoc in the thorn forest for several months, it was killed by the Temple of the Goddess of Nature.
The terrible demonic blood polluted the earth and no grass could grow, so this place was named Black Flame Valley.
"stop."
A bright knight stopped Lei Luo.
Lei Luo handed the other party his certificate of naturalist degree and looked towards the distance.
Several priests are casting blessing spells to disperse the spreading night fog pollution.
But as long as the fat blood nest deep in the fog remains, no matter how many priests cast blessing spells, they will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and can only slow down the spread of pollution.
Guagua guagua...
The familiar call of the blood crow came from the depths of the mist.
"The Lord will bless you."
The knight returned the degree certificate to Lei Luo. Lei Luo said nothing, floated at low altitude, and chased forward along the clear footprints on the ground.
