Chapter 404: Unexplained Premonition
Chapter 404: Unexplained Premonition
"Wizard Ivan, please take care."
"Take care of yourself too, Jenny, and everyone else."
In front of the gate of Yuyue City, Ivan was about to leave. Perhaps because they were worried that he would kidnap someone, the high priest came to see him off, as well as her captain of the guard, Rosa.
What was unexpected was that Lulucia also rushed over after hearing the news.
Ivan and Lulucia had only spoken a few words to each other and were not very close, so naturally they had nothing to say to each other when they parted.
He signaled to a few people, and then set off on a new journey carried by the swamp ant. The Fire Scorpion and Meg still accompanied him, and soon disappeared into the distant horizon.
After he left, Lulucia invited the high priest and the saint to sit in her palace carriage, preparing to send them back to the temple.
"Lulusia, did you have a premonition of something? With your personality, you shouldn't pay so much attention to that man." In the palace in the car, Kolebash glanced at Jenny and asked Lulucia.
"Why can't I pay attention? If you hadn't interrupted me last time, that man would have become my prince, huh!" Lulucia said angrily.
"Don't you feel ashamed to say that? Don't try to get away with it." Kolebashy glared at her speechlessly and said in a deep voice.
"You ruined my marriage, what else do you want me to say?" Lulucia said with a little indignation.
"Are you serious?" Kolebashy heard something different.
"It's just this possibility, but the relationship will be reversed next time, and he will no longer be my prince. Tell me, have you ruined my good thing?" Lulucia looked melancholy.
Hearing this, Kolebash fell silent, leaving only the clattering sound of the Night Qilin's hooves pulling the cart.
She knew her old friend's talents and abilities. Her premonitions were so strong that they rarely deviated greatly, and were comparable to certain prophetic abilities. She sensed that this was a possibility, and that eight to nine out of ten times it would happen.
In other words, the Komor Empire will have in-depth interactions with that man in the future, so sending him away recently is not sure whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, and how much impact it will have in the future.
For a moment, Kolebashy thought of many things, and finally she looked at Jenny again, and her heart calmed down.
With the Saint around, no matter how the situation changes, it can't get any worse.
Jenny was thoughtful, and kept Lulucia's words in mind, and would tell Wizard Ivan the next time she saw him.
……
Westbound.
Everything about the Centaurs had long since become a thing of the past. Today, the western border is dominated by a race called the 'Stone Tribe', who have established the 'Hammerstone Empire' here.
Ivan came to the west from the south, but did not go deep into the territory of the Hammerstone Empire. Instead, he took a detour to the far west.
It is not difficult to guess from the Komor Empire that the Hammerstone Empire is probably not easy to mess with, so it is not advisable to cause trouble.
Along the way, Ivan picked up a lot of valuable things.
He analyzed that the reason was probably that there was some non-overlap between the resources needed by wizards and those needed by the underground races, so what he picked up were those that the underground races considered to be worthless.
This proves that the underground is indeed a treasure land for wizards, and the Five-Leaf Spear's "retreat" move is wise.
However, he did not find a safe passage or method for wizards to enter the underground in large numbers.
Ivan specifically asked the high priest about this issue.
In recent days, the high priest has responded to every request and answered every question, and he did not hide the method of the night elves passing through the magma. He looked through the layers of shells and summed up two reasons.
One is the secret technique related to bloodline, which allows the night elves to transform deeply into shadows and avoid the damage from molten lava.
Secondly, it is because of the face of the Mother of Night that some lava lords turn a blind eye and allow the night elves to pass as long as they pay tribute to some items.
This method only allows a small number of night elves to travel between the surface and underground, and not too frequently. Kolebash also said that the underground magma will rise and fall like the sea water. Every four or five hundred years, the magma will have a serious ebb period - the withering period. At that time, some parts of the underground maze will not have any magma at all, so you can walk directly through it.
However, the molten lava withering period will not last long.
This method takes too long and the timing cannot be accurately determined. Ivan naturally would not think of taking advantage of this loophole.
What wizards need is a conventional method, a method that can be used to travel on a daily basis above and below the ground.
"Wizard Ivan, there are some strange people down there."
"Don't worry about it, our destination is further ahead."
After hearing what the Flame Scorpion said, Ivan glanced down and saw a relatively primitive village, which should be the residence of a small Stone Clan tribe.
Living in such a remote place, his bloodline is probably relatively thin in the Stone Clan.
The arrival of the swamp ants caused some commotion, but no one paid much attention to it and continued to fly westward until they stopped in a bumpy place.
Looking at the 'Panthi Mountain' in front of him, Ivan was suddenly stunned.
It's a mess here.
It turned out that Panti Mountain had been completely dug up, with deep pits and lonely pillars everywhere. It was no longer the sacred mountain described by the Centaurs. The map he had compiled was completely useless.
"Thousands of years have passed and the world has changed dramatically. It is reasonable to have such changes." After looking at it silently for a while, he sighed helplessly.
After all, countless years have passed since the Centaurs disappeared, and those books have long been outdated.
"Ze Yi, go take a look under the ground and see if you find anything." He then ordered.
"I'll go too." Meg felt ashamed that she hadn't contributed much on the way, so she offered to help.
"Everyone, go and search carefully. Come back and report if you find anything unusual." Ivan did not refuse. He even sent away the Fire Scorpion that was looking at him eagerly, and together they searched around Yuanpanti Mountain.
After hearing his instructions, the marsh ants dived directly into the ground, and Meg also went in in her own way.
The fire scorpion could only obediently enlarge its body and climb forward. Its speed was not slow, and it left behind a trail of charred marks wherever it passed.
After a while, Ivan heard some noise behind him. It turned out to be the Stone Tribe from that village.
His heart moved, and he stood there as if he didn't notice anything.
"Where did this white-faced man come from? How dare he trespass into my tribe's rock mining area without permission." Soon, this group of Stone Clan warriors came to a nearby distance, and the leading man shouted at him loudly.
"Did your tribe hollow this place out?" Ivan turned around and looked over.
The Stone Tribe looks somewhat similar to humans, except that their skin is very rough, stone-like in texture, and their complexion is yellow. They are all tall and strong, and can be described as "big guys" per capita.
"Of course, this is our tribe's quarry. It has been here for generations. Don't even think about taking any rock away from here."
"Which tribe of the Stone Clan are you from?"
"White-faced man, don't you have eyes? Don't you see that we have tails behind us? We are from the 'Stone Tail Clan'."
His words made the man opposite become a little irritable. Ivan looked behind them and really found a lot of tails, which were thin and short, and did not match the size of the Stone Clan.
Ivan knew that the Stone Tribe was divided into the Stone Eyes, Stone Skins, Stone Horns, Stone Armored Tribe, etc., but he had never heard of the Stone Tail Tribe.
However, these Ishii tribes have lived here for generations and must be familiar with the surrounding area.
