"I heard from Ambot what you found in the underground palace of the Ironbeard Dwarf. I guess these blood beads were obtained from there."
"Yes. Elder Ambert doesn't believe it."
"Ambert is a fool!" Malwin slapped the table, shocking the books to jump up. "Don't get me wrong. He was once a great leader, but now he has long been blinded by the glory of the past. The old man will do this once he loves power."
Elder Malwin looked much younger than Ambot, with mostly black hair and beard, and his two blue eyes were very bright. In fact, he had wide shoulders, strong muscles, and a big belly. His gray robe was stained with oil, and he looked more like a canteen master than a wise man.
Major didn't comment, he didn't have to say much about such a thing.
"Ambot is easy to make a fuss and overreact. A while ago we were attacked by the Black Flame Brotherhood and lost some manpower. Ambot actually withdrew everyone back to the Watch Fortress and handed over overnight. The thousand-year career was ruined. I bet the Dark King was so happy that he couldn't sleep."
He continued, "Yes, it's the Dark King. Ambert's timidity has infected all the watchmen like a plague. They now dare not even say the name of the enemy. According to me, since they are so scared, they might as well join the Tower of Light. Dr. Queves, the Great Emperor of Light, must not be afraid of the Dark King."
A burst of laughter came to the corner. Elder Malwin's assistant shook his head and laughed, as if he had heard the funnyest joke in the world.
"Especially after the Liuhe Town incident - have you heard of the Liuhe Town incident? We think that was the teeth that the Black Flame Brothers showed off against the Watchmen League. Their attack method was unprecedented. It didn't take such a big effort to destroy an insignificant border town. We guessed that it was a secret weapon. Ambert felt that our overall protective cover might not resist the attack of the Black Flame Brothers. So we had to transfer everyone back to defend. I agree with him on this point, but I don't agree with his approach. It is wise to fight back in full and destroy this secret weapon and those who use the weapons."
"I am one of the survivors of Liuhe Town. The witness before Master Yutan's death." Major said. "According to Logan, there are traitors among us. So we are unable to launch a counterattack."
"Rieve..." Marwin said gritting his teeth. "If I were asked to find these mice, all of them were peeled."
"Yes, skin them all." His assistant responded.
"I have a clue, but I don't have a big idea," continued Malwin. "I suspect that the main attack point of the Black Flame Brotherhood is not on the overall defense cover at all. No matter what secret weapon it is, it is extremely difficult to break the overall protective cover, not to mention that we also have strong counterattack ability. I always feel that their real target should be elsewhere. Your intelligence confirms my point of view."
He stood up and pointed to the tallest tower where Elder Ambot lived and said, "Did you see the dome at the top of the tower? It is the energy crystal core of the overall defense cover. It was written by Master Amaroel. It is no exaggeration to say that if the entire mountain range is destroyed, the protective cover will not be broken."
"The Watch Fortress was designed and constructed by Master Amaroel. You can also see the exquisite design. But its protection is stronger than you can see. Except for the ground, there are countless giant crossbows hidden in the mountain. The protective cover extends to the ground-except a gap."
"This gap is located directly below the energy crystal nucleus, and is the only blind spot. To remedy, Master Amarool set up a fine gold gate at this blind spot. If the ground is lost, the survivors can escape underground. The key to the control switch of this fine gold gate has always been in the hands of the chief elder, that is, Ambot. Only he has the right and ability to open it."
"Of course, Master Amaroel has a very meticulous mind. He placed an iron golem in the room of the switch device, which can identify the identity of the chief elder. When the steel golem is turned on, people who are not the chief elders, even if they hold the switch key, cannot get close to the switch. And I am the person who manipulates the steel golem."
This system was designed so cleverly. Major's impression of Master Amarole immediately deepened.
"Just..." He immediately remembered something.
"It's just that the Iron Golem can no longer be activated because of the lack of the Life Source Ball." Elder Malwin continued. "In the heyday of the Watchmen League, the Watchmen will continuously bring raw materials to refine the Life Source Ball. Now, you also see that Ambert is unwilling to let anyone take the risk of collecting blood beads in remote and dangerous undead gathering areas. He said that the Great Gate of Essence is closed anyway, and he himself has no idea to open it. What's the use of the Iron Golem?"
"Because he doesn't want to believe in the traitor," said Major.
"Yes, he doesn't believe that the watchman has a traitor." Marwin said angrily. "I can't investigate without his support. I don't believe anyone except my assistant. So, the new young man, I see hope in you."
"Investigate the traitor? I don't have the ability to do this." Major refused without hesitation. Just kidding, we didn't know how to do this.
Malwin smiled. "Don't get me wrong. It's too late to investigate the traitor now. The general attack of the Black Flame Brotherhood is approaching. Your task is to find the last raw material for refining the Iron Golem Life Source Ball for me: the soul essence of the Rock Giant."
"What? The logistics officer said you're going to be ischemia."
"How could I tell that idiot all this kind of thing?" Malwin shrugged. "Now everyone knows that the steel golem is about to start, so the traitor will not dare to act rashly, which has bought us a little time. Three days, you only have three days, and you must find the soul essence of the Rock Giant."
Major stood up and walked to the window: "The night is so beautiful tonight."
He sighed.
Malwin frowned: "Young man, what are you doing? Let me have an answer if you go or not."
"Look at the fire in the distance." Major did not answer, but instead extended his finger. "The one in the south is not a volcano in the scorching basin. It is my mount, the Fire Dragon. The newly conquered one, there is no better mount space ball."
Marwin understood and snapped his fingers. The assistant came over and handed him a fiery red crystal ball.
"I have prepared it for you long ago. The best space ball can even accommodate the ancient dragon. This is just the beginning. If you do this, you will get my friendship. The friendship of a second elder in the Watchmen League is still very valuable."
Major smiled knowingly, and Malwin also laughed.
The two cunning guys laughed for a while. Malwin took out a shiny metal bottle, which was a bit similar to the Life Fusion Bottle.
"Soul Fresh Bottle. The moment the rock giant dies, place the bottle mouth on its forehead and recite the spell until the bottle body vibrates. The time may take several minutes, and this process cannot be interrupted, you must pay attention."
Major nodded. He had already become familiar with this job. He took it over and saw that there was a line of words written on the base: "Brecon handmade."
No wonder this bottle looks familiar, and even the spells are very similar. It seems that this is something Master Brecon made before the life melts the bottle. The principles may be the same.
Major and Malwin shook hands, took the map of the rock giant's hiding place, and walked out of the tower.
He took the time to go outside the fort to receive the Fire Dragon into the space ball, had a good meal with Ellie and Kaka, and hurriedly embarked on the journey to find the Rock Giant.
...
According to the map, the rock giant hid in the ancient palace ruins of the Ironbeard Dwarf deep in the Chaos Mountains. He stepped onto the fire dragon, found the right direction, and flew straight away, leaving a bright flame in the night sky. With new equipment, explorer suits and rage armor, he was no longer afraid of flying with his body.
However, when I thought of getting underground again, Major had a headache. The common monsters inside were marked on the map, which were nothing more than rock puppets. However, the production time of this map was 921, more than 80 years ago. Who knew what new monsters appeared in the cave, or another lich had taken a fancy to this Feng Shui treasure land and regarded it as a nest.
But after going there, I can't afford to mess with you, but I can't afford to hide. When I saw that the situation was wrong, I flew away and came back and took Ally away.
Flying is fast. Three or four hours later, Major arrived at his destination. He had to walk on the ground, and in this steep mountain ridge, he had to walk for ten days and half a month. This was not the time to clean up monsters.
He directed the fire dragon to hover in the air for a while, compared with the map, identified the place, and saw that there were no monsters on the ground, and landed on a clearing.
The open space is very flat and obviously polished by hand. There are several incomplete statues lying on the edge. A wide step leads to a black door on the rock wall dozens of meters above.
Major put away the fire dragon, climbed up the stairs, and walked into the cave.
Like the underground palace of the previous iron-bearded dwarf, the wind blowing from the cave contained a faint smell of rotten smell. However, the difference is that this underground palace is much larger than the previous one.
The thick stone door of the palace was half open, one was already incomplete, and gravel fell all over the ground, but the remaining opening was more than four meters wide, enough for three carriages to run in parallel. The intact door was about 10 meters high and half a meter thick, and I don’t know how to open it normally.
He stepped into the door.
Deep down the tall and spacious corridor, the surroundings were silent, with neither the movement of living things nor the movement of dead things. Not to mention the scene where rock puppets were climbing all over the ground as Major imagined. There were only gravels of large and small sizes all over the ground, which made him a little disappointed.
After walking for more than ten minutes, it was still the same. Major followed the map and found the entrance to the next floor.
