The Lord of Ashes

Take a floating boat from the Holy Tower of Blue Origin to Gem Bay, then take a magic carriage from Gem Bay, all the way from the Kingdom of Malgeria to the Principality of Gigson.

Whether it is the Kingdom of Malgeria or the Principality of Gigson, the magic and alchemy craftsmanship here exceed those of the Lycian League and other places.

At least in terms of transportation, it's extremely convenient.

Thain wasted almost no time on his way to the Principality of Gigson. Due to the convenient transportation, it only took ten days.

Ten days later, in the realm of Gigson Principality, Salt Basin.

The Salt Basin is an important metal producing area in the Principality of Gigson. In addition to ordinary metals, it is said that there are also relatively rare magic metal deposits here.

The Salt and Burn Basin is also the location of Thain's mission target. The quasi-level monster that showed signs of going crazy appeared in the Salt and Burn Basin.

"According to the information described in the mission hall of the Holy Tower, the Principality of Gigson seems to have put forward a bounty early on in the mercenary union and many nearby knight and magician organizations."

"If I had moved a little slower, I would have probably gone and not caught anything."

"This is also a task issued by the Holy Tower. It only requires senior apprentices to investigate the cause of the crazy monster, rather than directly killing it."

"It's just a quasi-level monster. Maybe there are strong knights and magicians who can kill it." Thain pondered.

If the quasi-level monster has been killed, Thain still needs to negotiate with the killer and obtain the blood and tissue specimens of the relevant monster from the other party before returning to the Holy Tower.

If he wasn't killed, that would be just fine. Thain also wanted to find a quasi-level monster to practice with.

Xiaoqi is not only Thane's pet, but also his friend.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Thane to regard Xiao Qi as a tool for testing magic.

The Salt Basin is very large, and at the entrance of this giant basin, many troops from the Principality of Gigson can clearly be seen stationed.

In addition to preventing attacks by monsters, these troops also have another role, which is to protect the mines in the Salt-Coke Basin and ensure that the property of the principality is not infringed upon.

It is worth mentioning that the main purpose of the Gigson Principality's army is to guard against prying eyes from other surrounding human countries.

Rather, they come from the demi-human creatures in the underground mines that extend in all directions in the Salt-Coke Basin.

And also after coming to the Principality of Gigson, Thane

He learned that the monster he wanted to investigate also came from the underground world.

"Is it underground again? It's such a familiar term." Thain sighed.

With the tokens and badges of the Blue Origin Holy Tower, Thane easily passed the checkpoint of the army stationed in the Principality of Gigson.

For Thain, a quasi-mage from the Holy Tower, the squadron leader of the Gigson Principality even diligently sent ten soldiers to take Thain to the mining area where the accident occurred.

Because it is very close to the Holy Tower, the Principality of Gigson generally respects the magicians of the Blue Origin Holy Tower.

From the mouths of these soldiers, Thane learned that the crazy quasi-level monster had not been killed.

However, so far, three large-scale mercenary groups with good strength have taken over the task of exterminating World of Warcraft. The cleaning of the underground mining area should be put on the agenda soon.

Thain eventually came to a heavily defended medium-sized mining area.

The land area of ​​the Principality of Gigson is not large. Overall, it is only one-fifth of the Lycian League.

Therefore there are not many soldiers in this country.

However, since the magic alchemy craftsmanship in the Principality of Gigson is relatively prosperous, the strength of the army cannot be underestimated.

From what Thain saw alone, he discovered that the troops of the Principality of Gigson, especially those above the squad leader level, seemed to have some traces of magic engraved on their personal weapons.

In addition, in the military camp in the mining area, Thain also saw several giant crossbows engraved with wind magic patterns, and a black iron barrel that looked very much like a magic cannon.

But it shouldn't be a magic cannon.

If the Principality of Gigson could move out magic cannons capable of threatening first- and second-level creatures, there would be no need to issue a bounty mission.

Thain guessed that this should be a weakened version of the magic prop similar to his simple version of the magic cannon.

And Thane noticed that the shells of this magic cannon were not the magic crystal bullets he had seen before, but stone bullets solidified from pitch black powder.

The specific power is not yet known.

Under the escort of these soldiers, Thain arrived at the main camp tent in the center of the mining area.

At this time, there seemed to be a fierce quarrel taking place in the camp.

"If you, Earl, insist on cleaning up the mining area according to this plan, then our Red Scale Mercenary Group will withdraw from this bounty mission!" A rough female voice came from the camp.

As Thane entered the camp, he found people arguing

On both sides were a female knight wearing red scale armor, and a general who was obviously a nobleman of the Gigson Principality.

The appearance of Thain caused both parties to the argument to stop talking.

It was the nobleman from the Principality of Gigson who reacted the fastest when he noticed the gesture conveyed to him by the soldier and the emerald green medal pinned to Thain's chest.

The middle-aged nobleman with a double beard said: "This is the master from the Holy Tower of the Origin of Blue. This task of cleaning up the mining area is also concerned by the great Holy Tower of the Origin of the Blue."

"I think instead of wasting time on arguing, how about letting the magician of the Holy Tower of Blue Origin make the decision?" the noble man said.

After moving out the name of Jizhiyuan Holy Tower, everyone in the tent was not as excited as before.

In fact, there were more than just the red-armored female knights who contradicted the earl in the tent. Strictly speaking, there were three families in total, and the red-armored female knights were just one of the representatives.

The issue they were arguing about was nothing more than the next cleaning plan in the Salt-Coke Basin.

Earl Beard represents the interests of the Gigson Principality. Under the premise that the Gigson Principality pays a large price and high employment fees, they naturally hope that the three mercenary groups represented by the red-armored female knights will take the lead and help them. Clean up threats from all aspects of the underworld.

But the three mercenary groups obviously didn't want to become cannon fodder for the Gigson Principality. The bounty mission they carried out was only aimed at the crazy mutated quasi-class monster.

But the Principality of Gigson wanted them to clean up the increasingly rampant underground creatures in the mining area.

Not to mention the danger involved, in the words of the more rugged female knight, "These nobles of the Gigson Principality want to use one amount of money to do two things."

When Thain learned the whole story, he faced the gazes of everyone in the tent.

Thain said expressionlessly: "I don't want to waste time on your arguments for no reason, since Earl Krug believes that the emergence of mutated monsters is related to those underground creatures."

"Then clean up the entire mining area as soon as possible according to the count's arrangements."

"Including that quasi-level monster, after determining the opponent's location, we will immediately hunt and kill him."

Sure enough, Thain's words were much easier to use than that noble earl.

But after he finished speaking, the tall female knight cast an angry look at him.
