136. Chapter 136 – Dark Cave of the Earth

Chapter 136 – Pitch Black Hole in the Ground
Having a blimp was just so much more convenient.

Moreover, as the smallest private airship, one box of “No.1 Battery” is enough for Heine to use for three months.

In the past, he would have converted it into gold coins and suffered a bit more.

But now, when he thought of the mountains of rechargeable stones in the vault, he was relieved.

Stomping on the boxes to use them!
Nothing else, just more money!

Saying goodbye to Huihui, Heine arrived at Greenleaf Town ahead of Bedwell.

From above, he also saw Bey on horseback puffing and puffing as he rushed along.

After relaying the news of Xiao Bei’s imminent arrival to Todd, he took away Catch Sheep and Guardian Iris, leaving Mr. Xia and Chief Sa to stay in the town to take care of the guard.

Recently, there were constant refugees fleeing back from the direction of the Blighted Trail, and that elite rebel army had gone mad.

They didn’t just attack the villagers, they didn’t even spare the other elven stragglers.

The group of seven that attacked the lumberyard was the one that was driven over.

They were originally plundering the forest further east for a living, but now that even survival was a problem, they simply came over here to seek death.

The other two were also on a mission to “teach”.

Mr. Sa was naturally the “chief instructor of marksmanship for the 200 militia”.

Mr. Xia, on the other hand, found Ravan and decided to recover some interest from the half-elf boy.

Ravan had taught himself Sneak to the third level, but he hadn’t shared any of his experience.

He couldn’t wait to break this guy’s legs.

…

On the airship, the newcomer meets the old man for the first time.

Heine didn’t hide anything, he took the initiative to take out the money.

“These are your two seniors, the golden one is called ‘Catch the Goat’ and the black one is called V. I don’t know if you’ve heard of them.”

Heine pretended to be sorry:
“It’s a pity that they are skeleton bodies, they can’t attach to the body of a living person like you to receive wisdom enlightenment, and the learning speed of the universal language is also very slow …… Ai, it’s a pity.”

…

DuoDuo: “How are you? I’m Qian Duo Duo, a merchant player.”

Catch the Goat: “Crap, newbie? You were delivered by Hui, right?”

DuoDuo: “Huh? Delivered a baby?”

Caught a Sheep: “Uh, our black word for being summoned by Heine. I’m called ‘Caught a Sheep’, Paladin.”

Duo: “Say, does he talk to himself to you guys like that all the time? Why does it feel like an empty nester …… weirdly pathetic.”

Caught a Sheep: “It does kind of.”

Because they were too serious, the two of them chatted for a few moments, and they were both a little awkward.

And Wei Temple Iris never said anything.

Catching sheep couldn’t help it, ”Northeastern people, speak, don’t act high and mighty! Crooked? Wei Dian Kite!”

Duo Duo: “Wei… Wei Dian Kite? Is it a warlock? Old man Wei?”

Catch the Goat: “Huh?”

He was confused, how does this even recognize him?

Heine is also confused.

What kind of name is that? Old man?
He was still playing the part of the geek talking to the skeleton, and for a moment his speech slowed down.

But it’s a good thing he’s now like the white noise of a television set during dinner on New Year’s Eve.

No one cares what he says, just make a sound.

…

Wei Temple Iris: “Ah yes, it’s me, why you …… Why are you here too?”

DuoDuo: “What, don’t treat me well?”

Catch the sheep: “You guys don’t rush first, who can give buddies a preview? It just so happens that the two goods with bad mouths aren’t here, buddy promise not to talk nonsense.”

Wei Temple Iris: “No flashback, just the two of us were high school classmates ……”

DuoDuo: “That’s called being at the same table!!!”

Catch the sheep froze, how just now or sweet girl, now a big ballast flavor?
Duo Duo: “I tell you, he looks significantly older in reality, then my father went to the parent-teacher conference, put him as a parent, froze with people nagging an afternoon, and then this thing spread, we called him old man.

“And then later I transferred to school, in the “AGE” to spend money to find a companion game, ordered a warlock called Wei Temple Iris.

“I thought the name so romantic at least a southerner, the result of a mouth I fucking confused, how is this goods? This person has not recognized me, a mouthful of a ‘sister’ shouting thief affectionate.

“I thought he was an old man called me sister, that I do not old lady well, I was angry, I said you shout séi sister, you are with my father brother and brother you good meaning ah …….”

The conversation opened up, and the atmosphere was enlivened.

In Wei Diankui’s black history big reveal, everyone is happy.

Except Wei Temple Iris.

…

The conversation gradually shifted from outside the game back to inside the game.

Catching Goat wondered, “Then why haven’t I heard him mention you?” Duo Duo: “He thinks I’m too good, I paid him to take me leveling, he didn’t even do it, and bought a ticket to take the Floating City overnight and left.”

Wei Deng Kite: “You can’t be serious, you’re not a vegetable, you’re simply not suitable for appearing in a copy, I can even pick up a stone from the ground than you.”

DuoDuo: “You see you see, this person is so vicious.”

Catch the Goat: “That’s where you’re wrong old man, be patient with newcomers.”

Wei Dian Kite: “You fucking learn pretty fast, huh?”

Catching Goat heatedly smiled, “I can’t help you hide this, just be prepared for it.”

……

While the three were chatting, the airship slowly landed on the southern outskirts of Granite Town.

There was an additional fence here, encircling the area where the medium-sized airship “Fire Copper” was located.

An Eagle Wing Dwarf from the old street sensed the landing of the airship and hurriedly came over to greet it.

“My lord.”

Heine waved his hand, “Are Tuba and Tower in town? How are things progressing?”

“Back to my lord, things are going mostly well, Frey’s property was copied and divided equally among the nineteen Cornu families that were killed.

“But Frey’s oldest son escaped with some tough house servants, and we found a tunnel in the cellar of our ancestral home this morning, leading southwest.

“Lord Tuba said the hole was not right, so we did not dare to rush after it, and are now guarding the entrance with our men.”

Heine nodded, “Then take me there.”

“Yes, my lord.”

The dwarf went back to the dirigible and exchanged a few words, then four or five Cornu guards in dwarven garb respectfully came over to widen the fence and surrounded Heine’s dirigible as well.

“They’re kind of fanatical converts to Dwarven culture, so there’s no need to worry about leaks.” The dwarf explained.

Heine looked to the reverent Cornu.

Their awe came from the respect the dwarves had for themselves.

“Lead the way.”

“Aye.”

…

On the way into Granite Town, Heine felt quite a few gazes full of hostility.

The closer one got to Frey’s ancestral house, the more obvious the traces of battle in the street became.

Arching mounds of dirt, blood splatters on the walls as well as crash marks.

The odor left by the cannons seemed to linger in the air.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that this place had experienced tenacious resistance, and Frey had indeed made the neighborhood of his home like a fortress.

Upon arriving at their destination, Tuba and Ta were the first to greet them.

After not seeing them for three days, Tower had a bit more of a murderous aura about him and looked much more mature than before.

He respectfully bowed to Heine.

“How is the situation over here?” Heine asked.

“Not optimistic, my lord.” Tower whispered, “The people on this street are all from the purge, they were originally related to Frey, and usually didn’t benefit from him, plus Red didn’t die, but instead fled with his elite, now they’re all on the sidelines.”

Red was Frey’s oldest son.

It was also the Cornu who was originally going to be a Dwarf.

Heine remembered what he had seen along the way, the houses in this neighborhood were indeed more sturdy and beautiful than those in the distance.

Coupled with the fact that this was the largest and flattest terrain in the rugged mountains, it was just like the rich area of Granite Town.

And from another perspective, this was also the political center of Granite Town.

This mountainous region had a population of nearly 20,000, so if all the people here were killed, the administration would be in chaos.

While order under low communication technology was easy to destroy, it was also difficult to rebuild.

Another way would have to be found.

Heine: “Go down there and take a look.”

The three of them brought the two skeletons to the cellar, where there was a one-meter-high hole, and the light around it seemed to be distorted, from which gusts of icy wind came out.

Tuba introduced, “As I said before, the earth in the Makara Mountains is silent, but the elements are unusually active.

“Yet in this cave entrance, the elements seem to be silent, and this reticence makes me feel bad.”

Heine also had this feeling.

But his elemental perception was a mess, so it could only be the elementals that could make him feel bad.

The elemental spirits here seemed to be “dead”.

When he opened the pupils of the dead, what he saw were not silver-colored spirits and gray dead aura.

Rather, it was the blackness that spread outward from the hole.
