Chapter 121 Return to the Surface and the Flower of Nobia

Gawain then started rummaging through the hall. Perhaps because too much time had passed, there were no valuable clues or items in the hall, and even the stone stairs leading up were destroyed.

The passage is even more blocked by stones.

Fortunately, there is another exit at the corner where Rock Leopard came in just now.

Gawain walked over quickly and found that there was a nest dug out by the rock leopard with its claws. There were three rock leopard cubs sleeping soundly inside.

"You can try to raise it."

"Woooooo~~"

Gawain picked up a cub that was less than half a foot tall. The rock leopard cub was awakened and howled at the top of its lungs. Gawain threw it to the ground again.

I plan to take it away when I come back.

He cast several protective spells on himself and walked out along the cave dug by the rock leopard. There were many dark brown rocks on the stone walls on both sides, which seemed to be iron ore.

It is also food for rock leopards.

After walking not far, a real mine tunnel appeared in front of us.

The ground was littered with various tools.

Iron pickaxe.

chisel.

Mine pocket.

Hammerhead.

There were more than a dozen corpses ahead.

Gawain squatted down and twisted the linen cloth worn by the corpse with his hands, and found that the linen cloth had rotted and broke when touched. From this, it seemed that this mine had been abandoned for at least ten or twenty years.

He could even imagine the scene.

It seems that the miners accidentally dug into the rock leopard's lair and encountered a one-sided massacre.

after.

This mine tunnel was abandoned.

"The young man who fell to death probably entered from here. Then he was chased by a rock leopard and fell into the deep well while escaping."

Gawain thought and took out a crow feather.

Transform into a crow.

Fly out with Xiaobai.

"Everyone will watch for the last day. Even if Gabriel is not killed by the monster, he will starve to death. I will report to the Earl at dusk."

"If there are no accidents, everyone can leave then."

"Don't let up, keep at it."

At the exit of the mine, the knights on horseback were shouting loudly. The soldiers below seemed a little listless, dozing off, talking perfunctorily, and talking.

"Gabriel is completely finished. How could he offend the Earl?"

"How do I know?"

"I heard a rumor."

"Say it quickly."

"Old rules, hehe~~"

"Damn it, I knew 'Moneybag' Harry had no good intentions."

"Say it quickly."

"Then I'll tell you, please don't spread rumors. If it makes the Earl angry, we won't get anything good to eat. It is said that Gabriel and Mrs. Wendy had an affair. We were both guarding the castle at the time. That kid Gabriel took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the Earl's back house."

"Then what?"

"Then Gabriel and Mrs. Wendy started having sex under the pomegranate tree, and were caught on the spot by the Earl who suddenly returned. The Earl's face turned green. What a scene, tsk tsk~~"

"Oh my god, Mrs. Wendy is so...so..."

"impossible!"

"That's the goddess in my heart!"

"It's over. Is Mrs. Wendy going to the gallows?"

"You guys, you are so ignorant. Who is Mrs. Wendy? She is a member of the royal family. Do you think the Earl dares to say a harsh word? Why don't you vent all your anger on Gabriel?"

"Pullingleng~~~"

"Pullingleng~~~"

While everyone was chatting, two crows, one black and one white, suddenly flew out of the mine tunnel. The soldiers were startled at first, then relaxed, and some people touched their bows and arrows.

Before he could draw the bowstring, the crow had already flown away.

Among the broken feathers, Gawain appeared and landed on the ridge above. He closed his eyes and opened his arms to the westward sun, and the warm sunshine fell on his whole body.

"It's...a feeling I haven't seen in a long time."

Gawain sighed and slowly opened his eyes. His pupils kept shrinking. It took him a while to adapt to the bright light. The crow on his shoulder, Xiaobai, tilted his head and looked at the world in front of him.

Low hills.

Green vegetation.

Bright sunlight.

Light gray fog.

You can still vaguely hear the steady and powerful shouts of the knights in the mountains and forests.

"The gray fog here is far less dense than the underground world. The human race on the surface is indeed much more civilized than the underground city-states, and they are more resistant to the gray fog. My sight is not greatly affected."

"However, this is only temporary."

"As towns continue to be destroyed by the [Tide of Gray Fog] and civilization recedes, the gray fog will become more and more dense. Only when wizards rise and establish wizard territories one by one will this situation get better."

Gawain thought in his mind that he planned to use the hills at his feet as Kisame Island's hidden stronghold on the surface, which would not only provide a more comfortable environment.

It would also give Kisame Island one more escape route.

If Kisame Island is breached in the underground world, he can retreat to the surface.

and.

This can also be used as a bridgehead for conquering the surface.

However, the current power of the church is still too strong, and Gawain is not prepared to take the stage, as that will only expose himself to danger, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Now, he needs to know the intelligence around him.

Gawain turned his attention to the soldiers at the foot of the mountain and was in no hurry to act.

The sun gradually set, the gray fog gradually became thicker, and the roars of beasts began to sound in the low mountains. The knights who left briefly brought back a new order from the earl, and shouted to the soldiers to start withdrawing their defenses.

"Swish!"

The invisible hand slowly approached the retreating team and grabbed the soldier at the end in his palm.

Take him away silently.

"Woo woo woo~~~"

Harry looked terrified and struggled hard, but couldn't make any sound. He opened his mouth wide, but couldn't breathe. The feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger. When he thought he was going to die.

The thing that wrapped him suddenly disappeared.

Before Harry recovered, he saw a back figure in front of him.

"Who...who...are you?"

Harry had never been so scared before. His legs were shaking, his hands and feet were shaking, and he couldn't pull out the one-handed sword at his waist three times in a row.

The man turned around, and Harry subconsciously looked at the other's face. His mind was attracted by the whirlpool-like eyes.

Instantly fell into stagnation.

Gawain maintained the [Illusion Gaze] and asked:

"What's your name?"

"Harry*Tree Root."

"Where is this?"

"This is the Iron Ridge Mountain in the Central Province of the Kingdom of Seixes. It is the fief of the Kelton family and a small branch of the Sunset Mountains. It is 20 miles away from the Earl's castle, 25 miles away from Red Leaf Town, 100 miles away from Monument Town, and 150 miles away from the capital of the kingdom, Rennes City."

"God of War... Rennes City..."

"His Majesty Adolfas III... Earl Kelton... Greystone City, Lady Wendy... Hot Spring Garden..."

Gawain quickly figured out the surrounding situation.

He also got a piece of news unexpectedly.

It turned out that this was the Kingdom of Seixes bordering the Kingdom of Nobia.

And it was the central area.

This kingdom believed in the [God of War] and belonged to a system of integration of politics and religion. King Adolfas III was the secular bloodline of the God of War Leo. He was not only the master of the kingdom, but also the archbishop of the Church of War.

It is rumored that he also holds the semi-artifact [Thunder Hammer], and his power is highly concentrated.

According to the news obtained by Gawain.

After the death of the goddess of life, the Church of Life existed in name only, and the god of war took the opportunity to send down an oracle, so Adolfas III ordered a full-scale invasion of the Kingdom of Nobia.

Although there were twists and turns in the middle.

But after more than a year of fighting, under the strong intervention of the church, the army of the Kingdom of Nobia has been completely defeated and almost occupied the entire territory of the Kingdom of Nobia.

Now it is suppressing rebellions in various places.

And the King of the Kingdom of Nobia, Carlos II, has been exiled abroad, but his young and beautiful fiancée, known as the "Flower of Nobia", has been captured. It is said that she has been escorted on the way to Rennes and will soon be sent to the hot spring garden of Adolfas III.

Become another plaything of Adolfas III.

It is said.

Adolfas III had ordered people to build a terrace, intending to have a unique "war ceremony" with the "Flower of Nobia" in public, in order to boost the morale of the soldiers fighting outside.

At the same time, he wanted to show his glory.

For this.

The queen of Adolfas III, the "virtuous White Queen", had a rare quarrel with her husband, saying that this was not only "obscene", but would also anger the resistance of the Nobians and cause greater losses to the kingdom's army.

But Adolfas III still insisted on his own way.

And this will be a shame that every Nobian will never be able to erase.
