From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

Chapter 343 The Secret in the Volcanic Ash

The reason why the Kraken tribe is called civilization is not only because this tribe possesses wisdom, but also because they have formed a cultural and moral system through historical precipitation.

It is precisely because of the characteristic of "civilization" that civilizations can understand each other through communication and avoid friction and conflict.

Of course, the premise is that there is no conflict of interest between the two civilizations.

Humans and the Sirens belong to different worlds, and there is no irreconcilable conflict of interest between the two.

Therefore, in terms of living space, humans and the Kraken tribe do not have a hostile relationship.

As long as the relationship is not hostile, communication is possible.

Coupled with the appearance of Liu Haiyang's six people, they helped the Kraken clan kill the crazy sea beasts, and they have gained the recognition of some of the Krakens.

This is a good start.

As long as there is no conflict of interest, a civilization will be grateful when receiving help from other civilizations, even if it is only a small amount, it is enough.

Therefore, Liu Haiyang and the six received courtesy from the Kraken Clan and were invited to the Kraken Clan Temple as guests.

With this relationship, the attitude of the Sirens has relaxed a lot.

Sona, the high priest of the Siren Tribe, ordered the guards to take Friggs down and lock him up, and then invited Lu Heng and ten people to the living room.

Got a chance to sit down and finally get down to business.

"High Priest, it is easy for the Kraken Tribe to kill a few Dark Iron Dwarves, but it is difficult to purify the sea water. Wouldn't it be better if, through peace talks, the Dark Iron Dwarves could stop dumping volcanic ash into the tidal sea? "

High Priest Sona ordered people to serve wine in shell cups, and sighed: "If things were so simple, they would never develop to the point where they are today."

Lu Heng asked thoughtfully: "Do you know the reason why the Black Iron Dwarves dumped volcanic ash into the sea? The Dark Iron Dwarves are far away in the Black Iron Kingdom on the crown of lava, and they travel thousands of miles to dump volcanic ash into the tidal sea. This is obviously a thankless job. Things are very unreasonable.”

The elder of the Kraken tribe who was accompanying him banged his fist on the table and hummed: "These black iron dwarves deliberately pollute the sea water in our territory. They must be controlled by the abyss monsters."

There seems to be some truth to this statement.

It would make sense if the Dark Iron dwarves were controlled by the Abyss and dumped pollution into the Tidal Sea.

But, is it really that simple?

Moreover, from the look of Captain Frigus, he didn’t look like he was being controlled by the Abyss.

Lu Heng asked: "Is there any evidence to prove that the Black Iron Dwarves are controlled by the Abyss?"

Faced with this question, all the Sirens present fell silent.

Because they did not find evidence that the Dark Iron Dwarves were controlled by the Abyss, this matter was just speculation.

Lu Heng recalled carefully in his mind, trying to find relevant information, but in his previous life, he did not learn the real reason for the hostility between the Sirens and the Black Iron Dwarves.

All I know is that the Sirens and the Dark Iron Dwarves are indeed hostile, and this hostile relationship will continue.

Although the two races are hostile, there has been no large-scale conflict.

The reason is also very simple, one lives on land and the other lives in the deep sea.

The living spaces of the two do not overlap, so the hostility between the two communities is limited to local conflicts on the sea.

The most serious result is that the Kraken tribe blocks the sea area and prohibits the Dark Iron dwarves from taking ships to the sea.

Therefore, the relationship between the two races in the previous life continued as a mildly hostile relationship, and there would be no subsequent development.

Thinking of the main mission of this recruitment, Lu Heng felt that things were not as simple as they appeared.

The challenge task of this recruitment requires helping the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Sirens to reconcile. According to the recruitment rules, the first batch of superpowers recruited in the previous life should also have received the same task.

However, the superpowers recruited in the previous life failed to successfully help the two clans reconcile, so the two clans continued to be hostile.

If you want to change this result, the key is to find out the source of the conflict between the two parties.

The source of this contradiction is why the Dark Iron Dwarves dump volcanic ash into the Tidal Sea?

Lu Heng stood up and said: "High Priest, I want to see Frigus and try to find out from him the reason why the Black Iron Dwarves dumped volcanic ash into the sea. Only by finding out the reason can we find a solution to the problem. "

Onatu, the elder of the Kraken tribe, snorted coldly: "These black iron dwarves are just a group of barbaric races. What other reason is needed for dumping garbage?"

High Priest Sona raised her hand to stop Elder Onatu's words. After thinking for a moment, she agreed: "Okay, I choose to believe you for once. I hope you can ask the reason why the Dark Iron Dwarf did this."

Later, Liu Haiyang and others were taken to the reception area of ​​the Kraken Clan territory to rest.

Lu Heng entered the water prison to see Frigus.

It is said to be a water prison, but the cell is actually a rare place with air in the deep sea.

Because the Dark Iron dwarves were imprisoned, if there was no air in the cell, they would have drowned long ago.

Friggs was now locked in a water cell, with his lower body soaked in sea water, and his hands and feet were shackled, making a clanging sound when he moved.

Lu Heng walked to the cell, held the iron door and sat down, just enough to be at eye level with Frigus.

After Frigus saw Lu Heng, he angrily snorted: "Go tell those damn sea monsters to let me out, or kill me!"

Lu Heng looked at him for a moment and said with a smile: "Dark Iron dwarves are indeed impatient."

Frigus frowned and glared at Lu Heng, and hummed: "How many Dark Iron dwarves have you seen? Why do you think we are impatient?"

Lu Heng took out the badge of the Quenching Castle, rubbed it, held it up and shook it in front of him, and asked: "Do you recognize this?"

Frigs saw the badge of the Quenching Castle and showed a surprised expression on his face: "Is this... the legendary Quenching Castle?"

He was not very sure, because the Dark Iron Dwarves migrated around to avoid the abyss several centuries ago and split into many branches.

Some branches have disappeared during the migration, and some have found a suitable habitat like the Darkville tribe, built Blackstone City, and developed into a new home.

The Dark Iron Dwarf tribe where Friggs belongs is another branch, living on the lava crown of the Dragon Sleep Continent and establishing a Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom.

Quenching Castle used to be a landmark building of the Dark Iron Dwarves, but after several centuries of migration, few Dark Iron Dwarves have actually seen Quenching Castle, but Dark Iron Dwarves with higher status have more or less heard the legend of Quenching Castle.

When Lu Heng saw that he recognized the badge of Quenching Castle, things became simple.

"I was asked by the forging master of Quenching Castle to help the tribes of the Dark Iron Dwarves. If there is a chance in the future, the forging master Gollum will meet you." Lu Heng said this, and Friggs' expression immediately eased, and he was no longer angry.

Friggs grabbed the iron door with both hands and asked, "Does Quenching Castle still exist?"

Lu Heng nodded and replied, "It does exist, but Quenching Castle is currently stuck in the overlapping space, and the situation is not too good. You should understand what the world is like when the Abyss invades."

In fact, Quenching Castle is relatively safe now.

However, this safety is only temporary.

After all, the human world is also being invaded by the Abyss, and no one knows what it will develop into in the future.

If one day the human world is also swallowed by the Abyss, the situation of Quenching Castle will be really bad at that time, and it can be said to be a dilemma.

So in the long run, the situation of Quenching Castle is really not too good.

Friggs glanced at the siren guard at the door and said in a low voice: "Then you should help me escape and deal with these damn sirens together."

Lu Heng frowned and did not persuade him.

It is impossible to change a person's mind in a short period of time. The most urgent task now is to find out why the Dark Iron Dwarves dumped volcanic ash into the Tidal Sea.

"I will ask you a few questions first, and then find a way. You should also know that this is the territory of the Siren Clan. It is not easy to get out."

Friggs nodded in agreement and said: "Indeed, it doesn't matter if you can't get out. I will fight with these sirens!"

Lu Heng quickly changed the subject and asked: "I want to know why you dumped volcanic ash into the Tidal Sea?"

Friggs looked puzzled and asked back: "Is it necessary to explain this? The Tidal Sea is so big and it is not all the territory of the Siren Clan."

Lu Heng comforted: "I understand, but now you need to tell me the reason."

Friggs Suddenly thinking of something, he questioned: "I understand, it must be the Siren who sent you to interrogate me, right? You are lying to me."

Lu Heng rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Do you want me to be locked up like you? In that case, who will save us?"

Friggs suddenly realized again and nodded in agreement: "That's right, if you are also caught, it will be more troublesome. Since you have the Quenching Fort Badge, I will believe you once. Ask whatever you want to know."

"Why did you dump volcanic ash into the tidal sea?" Lu Heng asked hurriedly to prevent this guy from being clever again.

"There is no special reason. I just received a task to transport volcanic ash to the deepest part of the tidal sea regularly." Friggs didn't know the real reason either, so he could only answer what he knew.

When Lu Heng heard that the volcanic ash was transported to the deepest part of the tidal sea, he felt that things were even more weird.

If the Dark Iron Dwarves were just dumping garbage, why did they transport it all the way to the deepest part of the sea?

Wouldn't it be simpler to dump the volcanic ash directly into the near sea?

If volcanic ash is dumped into the sea, it will always be pushed away by the sea water. Why dump it into the deepest part of the tidal sea?

Lu Heng asked: "Didn't anyone tell you the reason for dumping volcanic ash? Can't we find a place to dig a hole to bury the volcanic ash? Digging a hole to bury it is always easier than transporting it to the deep sea to dump it, right?"

For the Dark Iron Dwarves, mining and digging holes are the jobs they are best at, but sailing is not their area of ​​expertise.

Therefore, if it is just to deal with volcanic ash, just dig a hole and bury it.

There is also a strange question, why do Dark Iron Dwarves deal with volcanic ash?

Are they worried about volcanic ash polluting the atmosphere?

With the number of Dark Iron Dwarves in the Dragon Sleep World, it is not yet to the extent that they need to worry about the environment being polluted by volcanic ash.

Moreover, Dark Iron Dwarves usually live in areas rich in geothermal energy, and "eating" volcanic ash is already their daily routine.

This matter is full of doubts.

Lu Heng then asked, "Who assigned you this job?"

Friggs frowned and thought for a while before answering, "It was arranged by the Great Wizard, who also said it was for the future of the Black Iron Tribe."

Lu Heng asked a few more questions, but did not get any more useful information.

After coming out of the water prison, Lu Heng went to see Sona, the High Priestess of the Siren Tribe, and exchanged the information he had asked with her and raised new questions.

This High Priestess Sona was able to sit in this position, and she was indeed capable. She quickly understood the key and agreed that Lu Heng would continue to investigate the matter.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked a question: "The Free was attacked by a deep-sea monster. Was it the work of the Siren Clan?"

High Priest Sona shook her head slowly: "No."

For the High Priest of the Siren Clan, there was no need for her to lie. If they did it, she could just admit it.

"I need to go to the location of the shipwreck and check if there is anything special about the volcanic ash there." Lu Heng made a request.

"Okay, I'll send a team of guards to take you there. Land creatures can also breathe in the water with gill grass in their mouths." High Priest Sona called a Siren guard and conveyed the order.

...

Afterwards, Lu Heng called Liu Haiyang and others, and a group of ten people followed the Siren Clan guards and went to the location where the Free sank again.

Jiang Shaoran used the ability of [Tide Caller] to release a bubble for Lu Heng and the other four, so that they could breathe and speak normally on the seabed.

Lu Heng pointed at the sunken ship and said, "Everyone, spread out and check the sunken ship to see if there is anything special."

"Yes!" Everyone agreed to spread out and get into the sunken ship and began to check all parts of the sunken ship.

The sunken ship had only been on the seabed for half a day, and some marine life had already gotten into the ship and used it as a habitat.

Lu Heng swam into the interior of the sunken ship. In some cabins inside the ship, there was still space that had not been swallowed by the sea water, and there was a small amount of air.

Su Muyu followed behind, releasing the Chongming bird to lead the way in front and drive away the marine life that got in.

Many creatures in the deep sea are poisonous. Whether it is a sea snake or a jellyfish, it may be very troublesome if you are stung.

Lu Heng swam all the way to the bottom of the sunken ship and finally saw the volcanic ash transported by the ship.

This cabin containing volcanic ash has not been completely submerged by sea water.

As soon as I stepped into the cabin, I felt that the temperature around me had risen a little.

It rose by about one or two degrees, but it felt very obvious.

Lu Heng walked over, stretched out his hand and touched the wet volcanic ash, and immediately felt the temperature on the volcanic ash.

This situation is very strange. Normally, after the volcanic ash cools, it will not retain temperature and should be the same as the surrounding environment.

But the volcanic ash here has become wet because of the sea water, but it is still warm.

Lu Heng grabbed a handful and put it in his hand to examine it carefully. The more he looked, the more strange it felt. He turned back and handed it to Su Muyu, saying: "Let a ball of fire burn it and see if there is any change."

Su Muyu let out a ball of fire and burned the handful of volcanic ash.

The volcanic ash began to absorb the flames, and then burned into a ball of flames, and the flames began to shake as if they had life.

Seeing this, Lu Heng's eyes widened, and he had already guessed what it was - Gross embers.
