Chapter 1555: Doomsday Volcano
The old farmer who was questioned by Tang Tian was still relatively simple and had no scheming. The so-called poor mountain and bad waters made troublemakers did not happen, but instead told Tang Tian everything he knew.
After learning, this place is called Dashi Village, which belongs to a corner on the edge of the Holy See.
The Holy See is a transcendent existence on this land, led by the Pope, and a place where the power is supreme. Under the Holy See are countries of all sizes, and the country is not the highest institution. They are all puppets of the Holy See. Even the king of the country must be recognized by the Holy See to be king and emperor.
The old peasants didn't know where the headquarters of the Holy See was. They only knew that in a place called Shenshan, the Pope was in charge. Below the Pope, there were the Thirteen Golden Clothes Bishops, with their power second only to the Pope.
In all countries and regions led by the Holy See, all the Holy See's branches were branches, and all the bishops were in charge. The churches at the town level and above were white bishops, the city was blue bishops, and the country's cathedrals were cardinals, one level after another, and eventually the divine power fell into the hands of the pope.
The Pope ruled the boundless territory like God, and anyone under his jurisdiction must obey the Pope's rule.
The old farmer didn't know much, and there were only so many of them. After asking, Tang Tian didn't ask too much about it, but he finally knew one thing, that is, the Holy See, which is definitely a transcendent existence, and his power is probably no less than a holy place.
After learning about this, Tang Tian asked again: "Old man, what's going on with the Doomsday Volcano you just mentioned?"
When the old farmer mentioned this name, his face changed and he said, "The Doom Volcano is the place where the demons live, and the evil dragon bathes in the lava. Its evil people attack the areas led by the Holy See from time to time and kill humans. It is extremely terrible. Even the Holy See cannot easily take it down."
After asking, Tang Tian just saw the old farmer's fear and could not get specific information about the Doomsday Volcano. I think it is true that he, like an ordinary person, could he know so much about the Doomsday Volcano, and he probably never set foot in the Doomsday Volcano area.
But what made Tang Tian wonder was that he came out of that volcano and had not seen a creature for several days or nights. Why did this old farmer say that there was evil existence in the Doomsday Volcano? This made Tang Tian puzzled.
"Dignity guest, you don't know that all the evil creatures in the Doomsday Volcano live underground and lava. They are not afraid of fire and will not appear on the ground at all, but once they appear, they will attack the areas where humans live, and the creatures will be devastated," the old farmer said with a look of fear.
After saying this, Tang Tian understood that his feelings were because he was just busy rushing to find out the lava and underground situations at all, so he never encountered the evil creature mentioned by an old farmer.
After all, he is an old farmer in the downward world. He doesn't know much, but he can only learn something that can be heard. After a conversation, Tang Tian did not get much of what he wanted, and he didn't even know where he was in the big world, let alone go back to the border town of Jingguo.
Just as Tang Tian was asking, a commotion and noise came from the village not far away.
"What happened?" The old farmer looked like, picked up a hatchet beside him and rushed towards the village. He was so fierce.
After thinking about it, Tang Tian also followed the old farmer to the village and saw more than a dozen people pointing at the middle of the village. They were dressed in different clothes. Some were wearing leather armor, some were hiding daggers, some were wearing long robes and staff, and some were wearing armor, and some were holding shields and swords, all of which were all in one go.
"If it is expected, I seem to have come to a magical world. The other party has archers, thieves, magicians and warriors, etc., but they are all headed by the person holding a magic wand. I think the status of the magician should be the highest," Tang Tian said in his heart after observing secretly.
Magic civilization is completely different from cultivation civilization. What Tang Tian knows about their realm division is that when he first came to this world, he had heard of some of the white-bearded magicians, but he was not sure about the specific division.
After careful observation, Tang Tian found that these people belonged to a man named the Green Leaf Mercenary Group, and there were only more than ten of them in their entire mercenary group. They were mercenary groups that were too small to be even smaller. The strongest one was the magician in the head. Tang Tian roughly estimated that the magician's power did not exceed the level of the life wheel at most.
"Dear villagers, we have no malice. We just received a mission to go to the Doomsday Volcano. It was getting late. We wanted to stay here for one night. Please prepare a house and some food for us. We will pay." Among the more than ten people, a middle-aged man in thick armor stood up and said.
When the villagers heard that they were not here to rob the house, they felt relieved and dispersed. There were enthusiastic people preparing places for them to live and eat, and their attitude was extremely respectful. The reason was that there was a noble magician among them.
The status of a magician is high, which can be seen from the old magicians in the half of the city at that time. I didn’t expect that the same is true here. The magic civilization is probably like this.
"What are these guys doing here? Could it be that they want to enter the Doomsday Volcano?" Tang Tian said in his heart, but he couldn't believe it. They dared to enter the Doomsday Volcano? Survival alone is probably a problem.
Tang Tian did not come forward to contact them, but followed the old farmer back to his home and was warmly treated. From this point of view, it can be seen that the villagers here are extremely simple and hospitable.
The food eaten here is actually bread, and it is the black bread eaten by poor people described in countless novels from other worlds. It is dry and cut in the mouth, which is really hard to swallow. As for the legendary rye wine Tang Tian did not taste it, because the old farmer could not afford to drink wine, and that thing was a luxury.
In addition to him, the old farmer also has two sons and three grandsons, which can be regarded as a big family.
After going to bed at night, Tang Tian quietly left his residence in the darkness and quietly lurked to the places where the Green Leaf Mercenaries lived. Although the place where they lived was decorated with magic similar to magic barriers and warnings, it was useless in front of Tang Tian.
Sure enough, these guys did not sleep, but gathered together to discuss something. After all, Tang Tian could understand their words, but he quietly got some useful information.
In general, they did accept a mission to enter the Doomsday Volcano. But it was just the periphery, and I'm afraid they didn't even know what the volcano looked like.
Their purpose was to hunt a second-level monster flame lizard and take thirty magic crystals for delivery of tasks.
Tang Tian was not interested in their mission, but unexpectedly learned about it. The reason for this mission was that the new saints in the Holy See were selected. These so-called magic crystals will be handed over by a noble to a church in the Holy See branch to celebrate, which is actually a flattery.
It was obvious that the nobleman himself had no ability to live as a magic crystal and could only issue a task. The Green Leaf Mercenary Group just felt that it could complete this task, so he came here after taking it.
The selection of saints in the Holy See is a major event. After this news came out, all the countries under the rule of the Holy See took action, looking for precious gifts to offer, but no one dared to neglect them. After all, according to the mercenary group, the selection of saints may not be once a hundred years. Who can't curry favor with it?
"Captain, when I was taking on the mission, I discovered that someone had issued a mission to go to the Doomsday Volcano to find the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus. The reward was 30 million gods and demon coins. If we could complete this task by the way, we would be rich." The thief in the Green Leaf Mercenary Group said with a longing look on his face.
"Don't even think about it, that's a fifth-level mission. At least you have to go deep into the Doomsday Volcano for 30,000 miles before the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus can grow. It is very likely that there is a fifth-level monster in that place, so you will die of that heart." Someone attacked.
"Everything can happen. Maybe we can find the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus on the periphery? But it's just thinking about it. Such things are too precious, and even if we get them, we can't get the revenge." The leader of the mercenary group, the magician, shook his head and said, very self-aware.
"What is the first-level magician and the fifth-level monster? You mean the level," Tang Tian said speechlessly in secret. Tang Tian had no reference to their statement. Who knows what level of strength they mentioned at the fifth-level third-level?
However, I secretly looked at it with the Eye of Destruction. The highest level of the Green Leaf Mercenary Group was only 232, the warrior, but the status was not the highest. The highest level of the magician was the 208th level of the magician. I guess it was because of the supernatural status of the magician.
After all, no matter how powerful a warrior is, you have to fight for your life. A magician can kill you with just one magician in the air. There is no comparison, which creates the reason why the magician has a transcendent status.
Unable to get useful information, Tang Tian quietly retreated. After thinking about it, he did not leave, but lived in this village.
The next day, the people from the Green Leaf Mercenary Group left, and I don’t know what methods they used to cross the abyss cracks that were hundreds of miles wide and penetrated into the Doomsday Volcano.
On the third day after the Green Leaf Mercenary Group left, another mercenary group came here. Their number was large, with no less than 300 people. What kind of Wild Wolf Mercenary Group was from?
Their arrival was not as polite as the Green Leaf Mercenary Group. They were extremely arrogant. They didn't count on eating and drinking in this village, but they didn't pay any rewards. The villagers seemed to be used to such humble attitudes and did not resist anything.
Fortunately, although the people from the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group were arrogant, they did not make any murderous moves, so Tang Tian was too lazy to meddle in other people's business.
However, from where the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, Tang Tian quietly learned that they were the ones who took the fifth-level mission to look for the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus in the Doomsday Volcano. He thought he was full of confidence in himself.
From some conversations with the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, Tang Tian roughly learned what the so-called fifth-level level is, which is equivalent to the order level in the cultivation civilization. There are still six, seven, tenth-level messes on it, and what kind of king-level levels are divided into above tenth level, etc., which makes Tang Tian’s head big.
The levels of cultivation of different civilizations are different. The only thing Tang Tian is sure of is that in this so-called magic civilization, the highest level is the holy level, the ultimate in the human world, and then the so-called gods, which is another level of saying. But in Tang Tian’s view, the so-called holy level at the highest level is probably just the realm of the divine sacred, and the so-called gods are probably similar to the supreme level.
The members of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group stayed here for a night and left, leaving a mess.
"What place is this? How can I go back to the Jingguo border town?" Tang Tian fell into a tangle, not familiar with anything here, and seemed a little out of place.
After thinking for a few days, Tang Tian decided to live here, and wait for the people from the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group to come back and follow them back to the magical and civilized world to experience it before making plans.
After waiting for this for three days, I didn’t wait until the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group came back three days later, but I waited for another group of people to come here.
This group of people was amazing. They were all wearing heavy silver armor, holding shields and spears, and riding under their feet were all white horses with wings. They didn't stop here at all and went straight into the Doomsday Volcano.
When these people passed by the sky, Tang Tian saw that the men, women, young and old in Dashi Village were all kneeling on their knees and praying. He was extremely excited. Only then did he realize that those people were actually the Knights in the Holy See.
"Is this the fighting power of the Holy See? Sure enough, none of them are lower than 300 levels, which means that they are all powerful people at the order level. According to the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, these knights at the order level are just the lowest knights in the Holy See..." Tang Tian was shocked, and then he roughly understood the tip of the strength of the Holy See. This thing is probably no less powerful than Yu Haotian Holy Land.
The Knights of the Holy See were all dispatched. What is their purpose in going deep into the Doomsday Volcano? Tang Tian suddenly became interested and came in such a mobilization of troops, and did not hesitate to dispatch the 3,000 Knights. It would be fake to say that there was no big move.
"Follow up and see. If there is something good, I will find a way to get it. However, it is not a joke to provoke the Holy See, the giant. Be careful, they wouldn't notice it." Tang Tian touched his chin and said to himself. Finally, he followed the Knights of the Holy See quietly. In this way, he came out of the Doomsday Volcano and ran in again...
