Chapter 774 - the hidden secret
A highland on the southern side of the portal to the forgotten land. It was located at the edge of the forgotten land, and it was the only highland in the entire forgotten land.
The building on the Highland was a bit like an observation platform, but the equipment inside had been abandoned for a long time.
Frost Axe was leading his dwarven demolition team to demolish the ruins.
Elder Kuitoan watched as the dwarves raised their hammers and easily destroyed the wall in front of them. He could not help but twitch his eyelids.
The forgotten land used to be the human’s base near Ascekro, but Kuitoan often came here to negotiate with the humans. This place also contained some of his memories.
Although there were some bad memories, elder Kuito an could not help but feel a little melancholic when he saw this scene.
“Son of the forest, do you really have a way to suppress Lord Ridley’s inner gate?”
Elder Kuito an could not stop the demolition, so he could only focus his attention on the black dragon.
“You should ask your world tree about this, but it has regained its ability to speak after watching cat and mouse. It should be a good sign.”
Joshua looked at the Black Dragon Duke who was on the other side.
Elder Enya had become the existence of the black dragon’s wet nurse. No matter where it went, elder Enya would follow it there.
The Black Dragon’s food was also obtained. It was the clone of the World Tree.
It was devouring the seventeenth clone of the world tree. The World tree seemed to be determined to use this method to train the black dragon’s hunting ability.
Kuitoan wanted to ask more questions, but something seemed to have happened to the Black Dragon Duke. He quickly ran over.
Frost Axe, who was commanding the dwarves to demolish the place, saw elder Kuitoan walk away and slowly came to Joshua.
“Are we destroying cultural relics?”
Joshua took a camera and stood at the edge of the Highland to take a photo of the forgotten land.
After the rock wall above the forgotten land disappeared, the ruins lost a bit of the cold feeling. Now, it looked like they had just experienced war.
“What kind of cultural relics are these buildings that were built by humans thousands of years ago? Don’t worry, Jose. We Dwarves will not miss out on anything valuable.”
The words behind frost axe sounded like the words of a goblin. However, although the method of the dwarven demolition team brought by Frost Axe was a little rough, there were some valuable items in the building, they had already moved them out and placed them on the empty ground.
“Sorry for the trouble.”
This time, Jose invited Frost Axe over without paying any commission. These dwarves were completely doing voluntary labor.
In contrast, Count Cruz of the country of steel had already returned to Nolan to calculate how much money he would need to pay to restore the scene of beauty and the Devil.
“This trivial matter can be considered as our entertainment after drinking.”
Frost axe waved his hand nonchalantly. Those dwarves were indeed holding wine glasses in one hand and hammers in the other, occasionally gulping down mouthfuls of wine.
“What’s that little thing sitting there?”
While Frost Axe commanded his own people to carry out the demolition, his attention was also focused on a petite figure on the other side of the Highland.
“A dragon.”
Joshua did not hide the true identity of the Dark Dragon Duke from Frost Axe. The elderly dwarf patriarch had already vaguely sensed the threat of the Dark Dragon Duke.
“The Guardian of the long-eared tree?”
Elder Frost Axe was an old friend of the black-clothed man who was a high elf, so he had a certain level of research on elves.
“Yes, it’s just that it was corroded by the gray fog and rested in the demon world for a long time. It’s possible that it doesn’t remember anything now.”
“What exactly is this gray fog? I saw that there are always people discussing this thing on the magic web. I can’t even continue reading the book ‘Heretic Judge’s Diary’,”Frost Axe asked.
“It’s a little similar to the plague. The plague destroys the body of a living being. The gray fog corrodes more of the personality, consciousness, and soul of a living being. After saying so much… it’s actually a dangerous plague.”
Joshua summarized the information he had gathered from his contact with the gray fog during this period of time, including the characteristics of the gray fog.
“It’s the plague? I heard that Guy Giglio say that the source of the gray fog is some terrifying thing…”
The ‘Giglio’mentioned by Frost Axe was the name of the blue-clothed person. The blue-clothed person and the gray-clothed person had first explored Nolan’s underground for a period of time.
“It may be an existence similar to a god. The judges have committed so many evil deeds just to summon that thing to our world…”
“My race has never believed in God in our generation.”Frost Axe was actually an atheist, but his expression was very grave. “But that thing is indeed very scary.”
“You… have seen it?”
Joshua heard Frost Axe’s tone as if he had been there before.
“If I had really seen that thing, I wouldn’t be holding a wine glass here, and I wouldn’t be able to play with the Hearthstone.”Frost axe muttered softly and continued to roar, “Our race has been exploring Nolan’s underground ruins for generations. Those things in the ruins are not things that humans can create at this stage. There are also some magic puppets that can move. Even our best craftsmen are unable to create them.”
“I’ve heard of it. It’s the ruins of an ancient civilization.”
Joshua had heard of the ruins of Nolan when he entered Nolan. This was also the reason why Nolan was so prosperous.
Now, the teleportation array in Nolan’s center was using the technology of the ruins. This was one of the few ruins technology that the sages had deciphered. The cross-country teleportation array allowed the countries of the world to communicate with Nolan more frequently.
Gradually, the city of Nolan became the center of World Civilization.
“Now I think that the civilization of the ruins might have been sunk by the gray fog.”Frost Axe took a sip of wheat wine and said, “But our race has been digging in the ruins for more than a hundred years, but we haven’t found anything good.”
Jose had heard about this speculation from the wise ones a long time ago, so he was not surprised.
On the other hand, Joshua was a little worried that the dwarves would dig down the entire Nolan.
“There’s one more thing!”
Frost Axe had drunk more than ten cups of wheat wine in a row. The alcohol content of this thing was much higher than ordinary wheat wine.
No matter how good this dwarf’s alcohol tolerance was, he was probably already in a drunken state.
“We’ve met some strange people in the ruins over the past few years. The grain stored in the mine also showed signs of being stolen.”
“You’re saying… that there might be indigenous people in those ruins?”
Jose recalled an incident that happened a year ago. At that time, Jose met a human covered in blue inscriptions at Squirrel Street. After defeating that human, Jose obtained a strange stone tablet.
The stone tablet’s function was a bit like a phone, but no matter how Jose pressed it, there was no other response. After that, Jose gradually forgot about this matter.
“It sounds like the beginning of a legendary mission, but… It’s not my business, so Frost Axe, Let’s focus on the demolition,”Josh said.
