Chapter 1555 Doomsday Volcano
The old farmer who was questioned by Tang Tian was relatively simple and had no scheming intentions. The so-called incident of troublesome people in poor mountains and rivers did not happen. Instead, he told Tang Tian everything he knew.
After understanding, this place is called Dashi Village, which belongs to a corner of the edge of the scope under the jurisdiction of the Holy See.
The Holy See is a transcendent existence on this land. It is led by the Pope and is a place where theocracy is supreme. Under the Holy See, there are countries, large and small, 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 before he can be called king or emperor.
The old farmer didn't know where the headquarters of the Holy See was. He only knew that it was in a place called Shenshan, where the Pope sat in person.
Among the countries and regions under the leadership of the Holy See, all have branches of the Holy See, and all have bishops sitting in town. Churches above the town level are white bishops, cities are blue bishops, and national cathedrals are cardinals. , Level by level, and finally the theocracy fell into the hands of the Pope.
The pope rules the boundless territory like a god, and anyone under his command must obey the pope's rule.
The old farmer didn't know much, and the sum of everything was just so much. After asking, Tang Tian didn't ask too many specific things, but he finally knew one thing, that is, the Holy See, which is definitely a transcendent existence , the power may not be inferior to a Holy Land.
After learning about this, Tang Tian asked again: "Old Man, what happened to the Doomsday Volcano you mentioned just now?"
When the name was mentioned, the old farmer's face changed, and he said: "The Doomsday Volcano, that is the place where demons live, and the evil dragon bathes in lava. Its evil people attack the area ruled by the Holy See from time to time, killing human beings. Terrible, not even the Holy See can take it down easily."
After inquiring, Tang Tian only saw the old farmer's fear, and couldn't get any specific information about Doomsday Volcano at all. Thinking about it, how could he know so much about the Doomsday Volcano as an ordinary person? I'm afraid he never set foot in the Doomsday Volcano area.
But what puzzled Tang Tian was that he came out of that volcano, and he didn't see a single creature for several days and nights. Why did this old farmer say that there were evil beings in the Doomsday Volcano? This made Tang Tian puzzled.
"Dear guest, you don't know that all the evil creatures in the Doomsday Volcano live underground and in the lava. They are not afraid of fire, and they usually don't appear on the ground at all, but once they appear, they will attack the areas where humans live , Life is in jeopardy," said the old farmer with a look of fear.
Tang Tian understood when he said this,
The feeling is that I was busy on my way and didn't check the lava and the underground situation carefully, so I didn't encounter the evil creatures mentioned by an old farmer.
After all, he is an old farmer. I don't know much, and what I can learn is just some hearsay. After some chatting, Tang Tian didn't get much 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 Yasukuni.
When Tang Tian asked, there was commotion and noise from the village not far away.
"Something went wrong," the old farmer turned his face aside, picked up a hatchet beside him and rushed to the village. It's too tough.
After thinking about it, Tang Tian also followed the old farmer to the middle of the village, and saw a dozen people in the middle of the village pointing and pointing. They were dressed in different clothes. Some wore leather armor with hidden daggers and the like, some wore robes and held staffs, some wore armor and held shields and long swords, and so on.
"If my expectations are correct, I seem to have come to a magical world. There are archers, thieves, magician warriors, etc. on the other side, but all of them are headed by the person holding the magic wand. I think the status of the magician should be the highest. Yes," Tang Tian thought to himself after secretly observing.
The civilization of magic is completely different from the civilization of cultivation. What Tang Tian knows about their realm division is what he heard about it from the white-bearded magician when he first came to this world, but he doesn't know the specific division.
After careful observation, Tang Tian discovered that these people belonged to a person named the Green Leaf Mercenary Group, and their entire mercenary group consisted of only a dozen of them. The strongest one is the magician at the head. Tang Tian roughly estimated that the power of that magician does not exceed the life wheel level at most.
"Villagers, we have no malicious intentions. We just received a mission to go to Mount Doom. It's getting late. We want to stay here for one night. Please prepare a house and some food for us. We will pay for it." "Among the dozen or so people, a middle-aged man in heavy armor stood up and said.
Hearing that they did not come to rob houses, the villagers were relieved and dispersed separately. Some enthusiastic people prepared a place to live and food for them, and their attitude was extremely respectful. The reason was that there was a noble man among them. Just a magician.
The status of a magician is lofty, which can be seen from the old magicians in the half of the city back then. I didn't expect it to be the same here. Magical civilization is probably like this.
"What are these guys doing here? Do they want to enter Mount Doom?" Tang Tian thought to himself, but couldn't believe it, they dared to enter the Doomsday Volcano? Survival alone may be a problem.
Tang Tian did not come forward to contact them, but followed the old farmer back to his home, where he was warmly received. From this point, 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 the poor described in countless foreign world novels. It feels dry and cuts the throat after eating, and it is really hard to swallow. As for the legendary rye wine, Tang Tian did not taste it. When we arrived, because the old farmer's family couldn't afford alcohol, that thing was a luxury.
In addition to him, the old farmer's family has two sons and three grandchildren, which can be regarded as a big family.
After falling asleep at night, Tang Tian quietly left his place in the dark, sneaking up to the place where the green leaf mercenary group lived, although their place was equipped with magic barriers and warnings. magic. But in front of Tang Tian, it was useless.
Sure enough, these guys didn't sleep, but gathered together to discuss something. Anyway, Tang Tian could understand their words, but quietly obtained some useful information.
In general, they did accept a mission to enter Mount Doom. But it's just the outer periphery. I'm afraid I don't even know what the volcano looks like.
Their purpose was to hunt and kill a second-tier monster flame lizard, and take thirty magic crystals from it to deliver the task.
Tang Tian wasn't interested in their task, but he got a piece of news by accident. The reason for this task was that the new saintesses in the Holy See had been selected, and these so-called magic crystals would be handed over to the Holy See by a nobleman. A church in the branch to celebrate, in fact, means to curry favor.
It is obvious that the nobleman has no ability to survive the magic crystal, so he can only release the task. And the Green Leaf Mercenary Group just felt that they could complete this task, so they came here after accepting the task.
The selection of the saintess of the Holy See is a big event. After the news spread, the entire country under the rule of the Holy See took action, looking for precious gifts to offer. No one dared to neglect. As the saying goes, it doesn't necessarily happen once in a hundred years. Who can't be fawning on?
"Leader, when I was accepting the mission, I found out that someone had issued a mission to go to the Doomsday Volcano to find the Nine Leaf Red Lotus. The reward is 30 million magic coins. If we can complete this mission by the way, we will get rich." The thieves in the Green Leaf Mercenary Group said yearningly.
"Don't even think about it, that's a fifth-level mission. You have to go deep into the Doomsday Volcano for at least 30,000 miles to grow the nine-leaf red lotus. It is very likely that there are fifth-level monsters in that place, so you should die of that heart." Someone struck road.
"Everything is possible, maybe we can find the Nine-leaf Red Lotus in the periphery? But it's just a thought. Such things are too precious, even if we get them, we can't get that revenge." Mercenary Group The head of the group, the magician, shook his head and said, very self-aware.
"What about a first-tier magician and a fifth-tier monster? You're talking about levels." Tang Tian said in the dark. Tang Tian didn't have any reference to their words. Who knew what they said about fifth-tier and third-tier? What level of strength?
However, I took a look secretly with the eyes of the delusion. The highest level of the green leaf mercenary group is only two hundred and thirty-two. It is the soldier, but the status is not the highest. The highest status is the two hundred and eighth. A super magician, presumably because the magician's status is supernatural and powerful.
After all, no matter how good a fighter is, you have to fight with your life, and a magician can kill you with a single spell in the air. There is no comparison. This is the reason why the status of a magician is detached.
Without any useful information, Tang Tian retreated quietly. After thinking about it, he did not leave, but stayed in this village.
The next day, the members of the Green Leaf Mercenary Group left, and they did not know what method they used to cross the abyss crack hundreds of miles wide and go deep into the Doomsday Volcano.
On the third day after the Green Leaf Mercenary Group left, another mercenary group came here. There were a large number of them, no less than 300 people. They belonged to the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group.
When they arrived, they were not as polite as the Green Leaf Mercenary Group. They were extremely arrogant. In this village, eating and drinking was not considered a thing, and they didn't even give them any rewards. The villagers seemed to be used to such humble gestures, and they didn't resist anything.
Fortunately, although the members of the wolf mercenary group were arrogant, they did not commit any murderous acts, so Tang Tian was too lazy to meddle in other people's business.
However, from the wolf mercenary group, Tang Tian quietly learned that they were the ones who took the fifth-order mission and went to the Doomsday Volcano to find the nine-leaf red lotus, so he had full confidence in himself.
And from the conversations of the wild wolf mercenary group, Tang Tian roughly understood what level the so-called fifth level is, which is equivalent to the level of order in the cultivation civilization. What kind of king rank is divided into the tenth rank and above, Tang Tian's head is getting bigger.
Different civilizations have different levels of cultivation. 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 world, and the so-called god, which is another level. But in Tang Tian's view, the so-called highest level of holy rank is probably only the realm of Shenzang, and the so-called god level is probably similar to the supreme level.
The members of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group also left after staying here for one night, leaving a mess.
"What kind of place is this? How can I go back to the border town of Jingguo?" Tang Tian was caught in a tangle, unfamiliar with everything here, and seemed a little out of place.
After thinking about it for a few days, Tang Tian decided to stay here, wait for the people from the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group to come back, and follow them back to the world of magic civilization to experience it before making any further plans.
It took another three days to wait like this. After three days, the wild wolf mercenary group did not come back, but another group of people came here.
This group of people was terrible, all wearing silver heavy armor, holding shields and spears, all riding white horses with wings under their feet, they didn't stop here at all, and went straight into the Doomsday Volcano.
When these people passed by above the sky, Tang Tian saw that all the men, women and children in Dashi Village were kneeling and praying, and they were extremely excited. Only then did they know that those people were actually the Knights of the Holy See.
"This is the fighting power of the Holy See? Sure enough, all of them are strong, and none of them are below level 300. That is to say, they are all strong at the order level, and according to the wild wolf mercenary group, these order levels The knights here are just the lowest-level knights in the Holy See..." Tang Tian was horrified, and only then did he roughly understand the tip of the iceberg of the Holy See's strength. This thing is probably no less powerful than the Haotian Holy Land.
The knights of the Holy See have been dispatched. What is their purpose in going deep into the Doomsday Volcano? Tang Tian suddenly became interested. He mobilized so many people to come here that he did not hesitate to send out three thousand knights. It would be a lie to say that there was no big move.
"Follow up and have a look. If you have something good, find a way to get it, but it's not a joke to provoke the giant of the Holy See. Be careful, they probably won't find out." Tang Tian rubbed his chin and muttered to himself. He quietly followed behind the Knights of the Holy See, just like that, he came out of the Doomsday Volcano, and then ran in again...
Doomsday Volcano, lava billowing, like a sea of fire, there are very few places to settle down, every step must be careful, people with no strength come here purely to seek death. (To be continued..)
