----------------------------------------

Second Age Era 378, late November.

With the arrival of the New Year, the Kingdom of Athens is also a busy scene. In the past, New Year celebrations were at best limited to the city of Athens. However, after Murphy unified the human city-states in the southern plains, the upcoming New Year celebration is an important festival for the entire human race. After more than a month of calm, the pain caused by the war is gradually fading. Time has such a magical power. After the Athenian army overthrew the rule of the aristocratic parliament, it intensified its efforts to eradicate underground creatures. The entire south The situation in the plains also began to become much calmer.

At least since the unification of Athens, there have been no underground creatures attacking human towns.

However, the wilderness is still a dangerous area, and there are still many creatures and mutated beasts on the trade roads in various places. It will probably take a long time to really open up all the roads in the southern plains. Human beings are constantly evolving, and beasts are mutating all the time. More and more monsters are beginning to appear, killing a group, and then another group appears. The most Murphy can do is keep the official roads between big cities open. .

Although he is locked on the strategic map of the Total War auxiliary system, Murphy can only eliminate a large number of creatures. A single wandering creature can only issue tasks to the mercenary union.

………………

Still not found? Murphy frowned, looked at the members of the 'Dark Night' in front of him, and whispered.

Murphy has established several spy organizations, and Dark Night is one of them. During this period of time, Murphy mobilized a lot of manpower to find the two personal maids and that damn Lina Inbas, but there was no clue at all. They seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no news at all. How could this not make Murphy angry?

Now if the legendary mage girl appears in front of Murphy. It's not just a matter of learning a lesson.

Murphy even thought of whipping her hard!

Okay. Just step back. Keep paying attention. If you have any news, tell me immediately. Murphy waved his hand and said a little irritably.

Yes. Your Majesty the Grand Duke. The man resigned, not daring to say another word.

As a spy with a background of spying, he could certainly tell that His Excellency was not in a good mood when he appeared.

Damn woman! Where did she go? Murphy slapped the table hatefully. said angrily.

Now it was just around the corner of the New Year, and he was about to hold the coronation ceremony after the New Year. He simply didn't have enough energy or a lot of manpower to find the two girls, and he wanted to find the legend with some brain problems. Mage girl, I'm afraid it may not be an easy task. But whenever he remembered that his two personal maids were abducted by that flirtatious young mage, he became filled with anger.

Your Excellency, Queen Evanna is here. Outside the door, the guard said cautiously.

His Excellency the Grand Duke's temper has not been very good recently, although he does not get angry very often. But the sullen look in his eyes still made the guards feel frightened.

Queen Evanna? Why is she here?

Murphy frowned when he heard this, and then said slowly: Invite her in.

a while.

The charming Queen Evana walked into the study. She came to the Governor's Mansion more than once or twice. The guards in the Governor's Mansion already knew her identity. even. This person is quite close to Murphy because of Her Majesty the Queen's attitude, and she will not be stopped from wandering around many areas in the Governor's Palace. After all, for these guards, God knows whether this stunningly beautiful Winged Queen will become one of the hostesses here that day.

As soon as she entered the door, Queen Evana saw Murphy's frowning and displeased expression. She was slightly taken aback, and then said: So angry? Who made you angry?

Not the fire girl! Murphy stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. said in a deep voice.

Fire Girl is the nickname Murphy gave Lina Imbas in private. This legendary mage girl chose the fire element specialization of the plasticity department. The fire magic in one hand has amazing destructive power! Maybe it's also because he has practiced the fire element too much. I also have some big nerves, and the thoughts in my head always make people feel incredible!

Her? What's wrong with her? Queen Evanna asked.

Murphy told the whole story, and then asked: Have you ever seen her whereabouts?

Queen Evana shook her head, her eyes thoughtful, and then said: However, the purpose of my coming today seems to have something to do with this.

What's the relationship? Murphy was stunned when he heard this and said.

How much do you know about that side of the Karazhan Mountains? Queen Evana said softly with a trace of sadness on her charming face.

I don't know much about it. It's beyond my control there. Murphy noticed the sad look on Her Royal Highness the Queen's face and couldn't help but ask: Did something happen there?

Yeah. A big thing! Queen Evanna said with a bitter smile.

event?

Murphy sat upright, pretending to be listening.

Queen Evana took a deep breath and said slowly: On the other side of the Karazhan Mountains, about a hundred kilometers away from here, there is a natural cave that is bottomless. It is a restricted area for the living. Even the most powerful underground creatures will stay away.

Because there is a lot of toxic gases there. As long as these toxic gases touch a little spark, they will turn into blazing flames and engulf everything!

Murphy couldn't help but trembled when he heard this.

The first term that popped into his mind was - natural gas!

There is oil in this world, which is what people call black oil. It is a naturally exposed oil that is very viscous and is a type of asphalt. Since there is oil in this world. Then there will naturally be natural gas. The cave that Queen Evanna mentioned is probably a natural gas cave. Natural gas is poisonous, and any creature that needs to breathe and nourish gas may not be able to tolerate it.

Then what? Murphy asked.

Not long ago. There was a big explosion there. Then a raging fire broke out! Queen Evana took a deep breath and continued: The fire there has been burning for more than a month. So far, There’s no sign of stopping!”

A month?

Can it burn for such a long time?

There weren't any trees nearby, and there was almost nothing to burn except dirt, but the fire never went out. It's still burning to this day.

The fire attracted many abyss demons, many little demons entrenched there, and many intelligent species also began to worship there!

The high elves also sent people to investigate several times, but the fire was too strong and they couldn't understand what was going on inside. They just wiped out the little devils there and then sealed the area.

But now many intelligent species know it.

There is a legend that there is a passage connecting to hell, and the cave that has been burning for a whole month and has not been extinguished is the legendary door to hell!

--Door of hell?

Murphy murmured in a low voice, and then said: Impossible! There are strong elemental fluctuations coming from any connection across the plane. I did not sense any elemental fluctuations. It can only prove that there was just a natural fire. !”

But. What kind of fire would burn on a land with nothing for a whole month!? Queen Evanna said slowly.

Murphy frowned and said solemnly: I'm afraid it's natural gas!

natural gas?

Queen Evana raised her head in confusion when she heard this, looking like she was asking.

It is a kind of air that can burn. There is a huge natural gas reserve connected under the cave. Natural gas is continuously exported from underneath the cave, so the fire there has not been extinguished for a whole month! Murphy explained casually. It doesn’t matter whether Queen Evanna understands it or not.

But why haven't there been fires that spread for such a long time before? Queen Evanna then asked.

Murphy thought for a while, sorted out the vocabulary, and used the simplest sentences possible, saying: There may not have been much natural gas leaked before, but after the big explosion you mentioned, more natural gas was leaked. Come out. That’s why the fire there never goes out!”

Regarding this knowledge, the more we talk about it, the less clear it becomes.

This is the limitation of the times. Murphy didn't explain any more and said, What's the connection between this and that?

The fire there is probably related to the fire girl you mentioned! Queen Evanna thought for a moment. He continued: But I'm not sure! Because a month ago she frequently visited the Karazhan Mountains. She even came into contact with Queen Medusa who lives in the Karazhan Mountains!

Is there such a thing?

Hearing this, Murphy looked solemn and asked, Really?

Yes. Her Royal Highness the Queen nodded and continued: That Queen Medusa is really too dangerous. So I had to send someone to keep an eye on her territory.

She? What exactly do you want to do? Murphy frowned and thought in his mind.

If she was really responsible for the fire there, then what was her purpose and why did she take away her personal maid?

Did she remember something?

Murphy slapped his forehead, but couldn't connect it all reasonably.

But his amazing intuition told him that there must be something very important in this. This was a purely intuitive perception. If he had to say something, it would be similar to a prophetic perception. This ability was not obvious before, but after the divine bloodline was revived, it became more frequent. He would feel it after several major events on the continent.

There's one more thing! Evana hesitated for a moment, and finally interrupted Murphy's contemplation, saying with a solemn expression: The abyss demons in many places nearby are moving closer there, and the demons seem to have discovered the special things there. Fire is one of the powers of demons, and many demons are not afraid of blazing fire! These demons are coming in a steady stream, and there are even some intermediate-level one-horned demons among them.

The high elves are setting up a defense line nearby! A group of druids are also coming to try to extinguish the fire there!

The dynamics of those demons seem to want to continue to detonate the cave there and turn it into a real place of fire, becoming the second outpost after Modo Volcano!

The situation is tense nearby right now!

Detonate?

Murphy heard this and suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

The demons of the abyss are restricted by the laws of the plane. It can be said to be quite difficult to come to this world, but it does not mean that there is no way. Just like when the demons initially detonated the Modo volcano, which is an active volcano located in the Yunzhong Mountains. The volcano truly established a base in this world. Modo Volcano is very far away from the southern plains, separated by the Orc Empire, the descendants of giants and the high elves, so Murphy doesn't have to worry about anything.

But if that cave was also detonated and turned into a land of flames, then things would really be bad.

The Karazhan Mountains are not far from the southern plains, only one or two hundred kilometers away at most. If it really becomes one of the outposts of the Abyss Demon, I am afraid that the southern plains, southern wilderness, rocky highlands, and the Salma Basin will all be affected. Everywhere you wait will become dangerous!

Because they may be invaded by abyss monsters at any time!

But at this time.

Master Merlin walked into the study room in a hurry. He couldn't even wait for the guard to announce. He didn't even glance at Queen Evana next to him, and said anxiously: It's not good! Your Majesty the Grand Duke!

That Lina Imbas not only took away Dingdang and Angela, but also secretly took away the white dragon's dragon crystal!

That piece of dragon crystal is constantly releasing energy!

On the other side of the Karazhan Mountains!

………………

Although dragon crystal possesses powerful energy, it is not easy to use its energy. The power of the dragon is too violent. If you use it directly, you may be immediately counterattacked by the tyrannical magic. And using dragon crystal to make a staff is not an easy task, because making a staff is a very tedious and huge project, especially when using it. In the case of dragon crystal, it not only requires corresponding precious materials to carry and transmit its huge magic power, but also needs to be carved with countless complex and mysterious arcane magic patterns!

The staff made of dragon crystal can definitely be said to be a legendary weapon!

And the time it takes to make such a weapon is definitely not something that can be completed in a day or two.

so.

Although the dragon crystal has been taken out, it has not been able to use it because there are no other precious materials and there is no way to start.

But!

Just today.

The two masters suddenly discovered that the dragon crystal that had been hidden in the alchemy room was actually fake. What was placed there was just a lifelike fake crystal! This crystal is attached with superb arcane runes, making it exactly the same as the previous dragon crystal in terms of the fluctuations it emits and its appearance! Fortunately, the magician Merlin is a cautious person. After he got the dragon crystal, he marked it with a hidden magic mark.

As long as anyone extracts or mobilizes the energy in the dragon crystal, the mark can tell him the specific location.

Just now!

Master Merlin suddenly felt a violent fluctuation of magic marks coming from the other side of the Karazhan Mountains. Later, he was shocked to find that the dragon crystal in the laboratory had been quietly stolen!
