Chapter 10 The Land of the Dead

"Hey, wake up!"

Sivo suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice, and then a bone-broken chill penetrated his whole body, as if he was standing naked in the blizzard.[23[w]x

"Ah chirp~~" Sife couldn't help but fight a cold war and opened his eyes blankly.

Qin Lun threw down the basin and looked at the president of Hu Lan Chamber of Commerce who was squinting on the bed expressionlessly. He was inexplicably in a bad mood, and he knew very well that Hill and Rand were watching jokes not far behind him. After all, his impatient frizzy look is rare.

"You... who are you?" Siphe's eyes gradually became focal. Although he was drunk before, he immediately realized that he was in trouble after he woke up.

He is not a shrewd man. He usually has an old housekeeper who supports him and does not have much experience in dealing with things, but after all, he has traveled several times in the trade between Taesel and Bode Gate and has seen some worldly affairs.

"You guys, that... I will pay the boss for the alcohol, but they are a little unlucky these days." Sife rubbed his arms and muttered in a low voice. His whole body was watered with cold water, and the temperature at night was a little too late.

"Wipe it clean first!" Qin Lun glanced at him, threw a towel over, and at the same time, he wiped it off the concealment of the Phantom Skin, and said in a low voice, "Look carefully, do you still know me?"

"You, you are...Philal Moonlight!" As soon as Sever wiped his face halfway, his hands froze, slowly widened his eyes and jumped up like an electric shock, "You are still alive, you, you know me... no, Ilistin... and Idriya..."

Halfway through Siphe's speech, his throat seemed to be blocked. His mouth was trembling and opening and closing, but he couldn't speak. His skin was bloodshot and red, and his eyes were slowly wet, as if he would cry the next moment.

Qin Lun looked at his appearance and his expression softened. He patted his back gently and said softly: "Don't hurry, just say it slowly!"

"Wow~~" Sifer suddenly hugged Qin Lun hard, grinning and howling, tears flowing on his face, "Button Mason is dead, old Mason is dead..."

Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and an old gentleman who was always neat and polite, Mason Hulan, the old housekeeper of the Hulan family. The last time they entered Torrell, they had dealt with this old man. They were a shrewd and experienced noble housekeeper, and they were also the greatest wealth of the Hulan family.

"Where is Ilistin? What happened to you?" Qin Lun frowned slightly. He didn't care about the life and death of the old housekeeper, and just wanted to know the current situation of the elf druid as soon as possible.

"Qin Lun, let him eat something first!" Hill brought a bowl of hot soup and handed it to Sifer.

The little nobleman drank the hot soup, and the cold air on his body gradually dissipated, and his mood became much calmer, and he slowly began to tell the story of their experience a month ago.

In fact, a month ago, the Hulan Chamber of Commerce had traveled between Taesel and Bod Gate. The first time was the time when the Japanese Elves Envoys met them. At that time, the mercenaries of the Chamber of Commerce were forcibly recruited by the Am Guard to solve the problem of the Valley of the Dead.

In the Valley of the Undead, the joint team of Lost-Fortress led by Kelly and Robin was besieged by the Death Knights and the Undead. Qin Lun or Joey led Ilistin and a few people to teleport to the Tower of Durag. The apostles and plot characters left behind were basically not survived, and the joint team of Lost-Fortress also suffered a catastrophe.

However, the Hulan Chamber of Commerce took this opportunity to climb up to the Am Guard, and afterwards they escorted out of the border and safely arrived at the Baldur Gate. Of course, the apostles' distress in the Valley of the Dead had nothing to do with the Hulan Chamber of Commerce, after all, it was their own decision. Severe Hulan and others just took advantage of the East Wind.

That smooth business trip brought the Hulan family, whose wealth was almost exhausted, to life. Because the journey was already familiar, after returning to Taser, the old housekeeper persuaded Sever Hulan to set off again. While the Ammen Guard still had some favors, try to go to the Baldur Gate as many times as possible.

Although Sivo was not smart, he listened to the old housekeeper, so they made another trade trip within two months. That is, a month before Qin Lun entered Torrell, the Hulan Chamber of Commerce arrived at the Baldur Gate for the second time.

The Chamber of Commerce's transactions were still very smooth this time, and all the special products brought by Taesel were sold out. Just as they wanted to leave the Baldur Gate, the City Council conveyed a bad news to their foreign caravans.

There seem to be some troll tribes migrating in the Troll Hills northeast of the Baldur Gate. Although they are unlikely to enter the human settlement of the Baldur Gate, they may pass by the land of death, thus threatening the area of ​​death to a section of the river that lies on the Chongsar River to the south.

The city council conveyed the news to the Hulan Chamber of Commerce in the hope that they would change the way or continue to stay at the Baldur Gate for a period of time.

However, this news aroused Sivo's strong curiosity. Perhaps it was the last trade trip to the Valley of the Dead that made Sivo extremely yearn for the adventure stories experienced by Qin Lun and others, and he actually had the idea of ​​going to the place of death.

...

Before ancient times, the Feren continent was a primitive land covered by almost all dense forests. The elves called Feren, which means the only land.

Today, along the coast of Jianwan, there were large vast forests leading directly into the inland, among which the highest forest in the north of the continent and the Keldomo Forest covering the entire central and southern part were the most famous.

The Supreme Forest is the settlement of sun elves that first migrated from the elves plane Fairlier, while the Keldomo Forest lives in many moon elves, green elves and other small populations of elves.

Over the long years, the elves have gone through the initial and most difficult pioneering stage.

However, at that time, the elves of the Feren continent did not dominate. The protagonists who ruled the continent were descendants of giants with Titan blood and the huge intelligent lizard - the ancient dragon.

More than 13,000 years ago, the first dragon war broke out between the giants and dragons. The north of the Keldomo Forest was destroyed by dragon flames, and another large forest was separated from the Keldomo Forest, called the Dragon Forest.

This battle of destruction was ultimately defeated by the giants, and the dragon also suffered heavy losses. At that time, King Keldomo and the moon elf King Taser killed two ancient red dragons in the Dragon Mountains and saved a large number of tribe members.

Later generations called part of the Great Forest of Keldomo, the forest located in the present Am and Taser called the Great Forest of Teldomo. Taser was also revered as the King of Keldomo, which was the first recorded dragon slayer ever.

After the First Dragon War, the Dragon Forest, named after the dragon, included the current Baldur Gate area. Of course, its area is actually much larger than the area controlled by the Baldur Gate now.

The ancient Dragon Forest was connected to the south of Gao Forest in the north, along the coast of Jianwan in the west, to the sunset mountain range of the dragon's living area in the east, and to the south, to the Yunwu Mountains of Ammu.

(The northern foot of Yunwu Mountain is the Tower of Durag, which Qin Lun had teleported. Book friends who want to see the Feilun map can go to Lao Tao’s Sina Weibo, which has a big map and Weibo account Taotie_Labies, with an underline in the middle.)

The vast Dragon Forest was once again divided into several small forests in the five crown wars initiated by the elves. Today, it includes the Troll Roaring Forest in the north of the Baldur Gate, the Caped Forest and the Sharp Tooth Forest in the south, the Small Dragon Forest in the east, and the River Bank Forest that was run through by the Crusher River.

The land of death mentioned by Sifol Hulan is the center of Dragon Forest. It has experienced countless elves civil wars, underground battles between drows and dwarves, and border wars with trolls and wilderness races during the rise of humans.

The Land of Death is located on the east side of the Bald Gate, only a few days away from the fast horse. This is the center of the Sword Bay coast, and to the south are Am, Taser and Kalinshan, three human powers and the Monthly Elf Court. In the north, it connects the Deepwater City, Winter City, Silver Moon Alliance and the Shield Dwarf's World Ridge.

Before the Japanese elves moved to Cormanso, this place was still a must-pass passage for the Supreme Forest to move south, and it can be regarded as a strategic place among strategic places. Year after year it has become a battlefield for countless kingdoms to compete for. If a place like the Land of Death had long been turned into a deserted place where all things were silent.

However, the place of death is different. It is too close to the ocean, and there is a big river in the north and south. (The winding river is in the north and the Chongsa River is in the south)

The warm ocean monsoon and rain turned this into a swamp and life-forbidden area of ​​hundreds of miles in diameter. Even until now, no one can tell what is inside the land covered with aquatic banyan trees and mudflats.

The era when the center of the Dragon Forest became a place of death is now unverified. People only know that before the rise of the big human cities such as Baldur Gate, Am, and Deep Water City, it had become a swamp.

From ancient times to the present, countless adventurers and expedition teams have entered this swamp, hoping to gain something. In fact, a few of them have indeed gained something. The Land of Death produces various magic crystal ores and rare medicinal materials, as well as even rare swamp gems in the world.

However, more adventurers paid the price of their lives in this restricted area, and even the powerful legendary profession dared not go too deep into the land of death. In the history of the establishment of the Baldur Gate to the present, only one person has crossed the entire land of death from east to west, that is, the founder of the Baldur Gate, the legendary pirate Bodean.

However, before Bodean disappeared, he did not leave any words about the land of death. Few people know what is deep in this forbidden area of ​​life.

"You actually want to go to the land of death to seek death. Do you really think that the three-legged cat kung fu you learned in the aristocratic college is invincible in the world?" Qin Lun looked at Severe with an idiot's eyes, "What's going on with Ilistin and Idriya? These two women have no common sense, and they won't follow you to break into the life-forbidden zone, right?"

"I never thought of going deep into the land of death, but just wanted to stroll around the border and go back and brag with my friends." Siphe said with a sad face.

"As for Elistin and the others..." Sifer's face showed a strange look, "The reason why they will accompany me, can't be blamed on me. This... they are going to find you."
