Lord of War

  A string of blisters popped up from the bottom of the lake, thumping and bursting on the surface of the water.

  Sean and others stood by the lake and waited.

  Not long after, Harding emerged from under the surface of Heishuize Lake.

  His face was slightly pale, probably because he had lurked in the water for too long, but to the surprise of Xiao En and others, Harding’s eyebrows were already covered with a layer of frost. It can be proved that the water temperature in the depths of Heishuize Lake is by no means as simple as minus 30 degrees, maybe even lower, otherwise it is impossible to even the existence of the sanctuary powerhouse like Harding will be affected.

   "How?" Sean asked.

"The surrounding edge is about three or four meters, but the more you dive toward the center of the lake, the depth will gradually deepen. After you swim hundreds of meters, it will reach a depth of about ten meters, but this time is still At room temperature, there is no strange place around.” Harding shook his head as he climbed up from the bottom of the lake, and then reached out to pat off some ice chips. “It’s about 500 meters before the depth of the lake reaches Twenty meters below..."

  Speaking of this, Harding couldn't help but glance at Spector.

   Xiao En keenly noticed this and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

"Although this lake seems to be very vast, according to my experience, the length of things should actually be less than three kilometers. It is not a simple matter to reach 500 meters downstream without any assistance. Especially for diving operations." Harding directly explained the specific situation, "Moreover, it seems that no one is patrolling from our side, but in fact, after swimming 500 meters, the lake surface Fishing boats of the Heishui tribe started fishing operations from Shanghai. It is very difficult to lurch in the past without knowing it."

  Even Harding said it was difficult. So if you want to sneak into the bottom of the lake in secret, it is naturally not a simple matter.

  It’s just that after hearing Harding say this, Sean roughly understood what Harding’s gaze at Spector meant. Obviously, even the sanctuary powerhouse finds a thorny issue, but he, who is only the upper silver pinnacle, can speak so easily, and concludes before the arrival of Xiao En and others. If it wasn't Sean who knew Spector's profession was a lurker. Then he will also have doubts.

   Doubt, whether Spector is clumsy, or whether there is any conspiracy or the like.

  This, we can’t blame Sean or Harding for being suspicious, we can only say that this is a common problem in Miracle Continent. After all, the realm of the void is too important, and those enemies who have fought against Sean have finally discovered the importance of this organization under Sean, so infiltration is naturally the only option they must do. But it is a pity. So far it has been unsuccessful. After all, it was William and Eli Kate and Rupee who were proficient in camouflage and anti-tracking.

  Of course, Sean is indeed a little curious about the origin of Spector.

  Because judging from his conversation and demeanor, this guy is obviously not a civilian or an orphan. It's just because it's not the time to explore, so Sean temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and prepared to wait for William or Ruby to ask after going back in the future, of course, if he still remembers it.

   "Oh, actually I just wanted to talk about it when you dived." Specter's IQ was obviously pretty good, so I heard Harding's words. He also knew what was going on, "Well. Actually, I have been observing here for many days, so I found a safer way to sneak in, but there are only three opportunities for air change in the middle..." While saying this, Specter also took out a bamboo tube from his body, "...and I must use this to ventilate."

   Harding glanced at the stuff in Specter's hand, and then asked a little curiously: "What is this?"

As a resident from the underground world, the battle in Harding’s world has always been straightforward. Although there are actions like assassinations and beheadings, it is rarely needed because of the geographical environment and other factors. Some side-door props. Therefore, the behavior of using a bamboo tube to ventilate like Spector is naturally incomprehensible to Harding, but after Specter’s explanation, this guy quickly understood it. use.

"With my ability, about 700 meters is basically the limit." Spector said, "But my eyesight is actually pretty good, so I can still see the center of the lake roughly. I don't know the specific situation. It’s too clear, but I think there seems to be an island there."

   "Island?" Sean was taken aback, "Huxin Island? Why didn't you mention this in the intelligence feedback."

"Because I'm not very sure." Spector shook his head, "How can I say, because the distance is too far, and the surrounding environment has always been patrolled by the Blackwater tribe, and there is not much time to do so. Let me observe carefully, so I can't be sure.... There are clear indicators in the intelligence feedback of the Void Realm. All unconfirmed clues and intelligence are not allowed to be recorded, only information with definite evidence can be recorded."

Speaking of this, Spector paused for a while, and then continued: "Moreover, there are clear regulations in the Void Realm. Reports must be made every once in a while, so I can’t let me wait here slowly. After all the observations and investigations are clear, we will make a detailed report.... However, I have already mentioned these clues in the secondary information feedback, and the above also agrees with my continued in-depth investigation."

   Although Sean does not know the specific operation mode of the Void Realm, he also knows that the Void Realm does have multiple intelligence ratings.

  Generally speaking, members of the Void Realm who are dispatched to perform tasks must return mission target information as the highest priority, and depending on the situation of the mission, the type of information that needs to be reported is naturally different. For tasks such as reconnaissance, there is information about enemy forces, level of defensive bases, and the number of strong people. As for the most important prediction of enemy actions, it is not the mission of the Void, but the intelligence of the Void. After it is handed in, the staff responsible for intelligence analysis will conduct analysis and research.

  Of course, reconnaissance missions like this occasionally have the movement of a second army, or rumors that other powerful people have entered while lurking in a certain city. This information is secondary information that may or may not be related to the main task. And this type of intelligence allows members of the Void Realm to first conduct a general task report description, and wait until the above confirmation or approval, and re-issue instructions, before conducting more detailed investigations and spying.

  "It's just that I didn't expect that someone would be sent from above so soon." Spector continued. "And it's Master Shaun, you come here in person."

   "Because there are things I need here." Sean said.

When listening to Spector’s report before, Sean had already discovered that the difficulty of acquiring this holy demon bone is probably not small. At least, no matter how you look at it, it’s not like the next level of gold can start. According to the general system In terms of urinary sex, then there are only two possibilities. The first is that this thing is really not a prop that can be obtained at this stage. The second is that if you want to start this thing, you need other means to help you get it.

  If it weren’t for that manuscript, there are clear references to the "Holy Demon Skeleton" many times. Sean will definitely choose to turn around and leave at this time, because since it is not something that can be started at this stage, then there is no need to continue wasting time. Therefore, Xiao En guessed that the current situation should be the second situation, that is to say, it needs some other means to get the Saint Demon skeleton.

   Sean’s first consideration at the time was the Pearl of the Deep Sea.

  This thing allows players to get the ability to dive regardless of water pressure and oxygen. If there is this thing, it is naturally easy to dive to the bottom. only. People are not as good as heaven. Not to mention that he does not have the Deep Sea Orb on his body now, even if the Deep Sea Orb imitation that should have existed on the Golden Knight was actually found in the stronghold of Mann at the time, it may not really be able to enter here at this time. .

  Because there is also a dungeon in the mermaid capital in the water monster secret, according to the situation at the time, Sean would definitely choose to enter that underground city to explore.

  So after various considerations, Sean will let Harding dive into this black water first to see the situation.

"It does look like a floating island." Harding nodded when he saw Sean's gaze towards him. "This floating island in the middle of the lake is about thirty meters deep into the bottom of the water. It looks like it is at the bottom of the lake. The stone layers are connected together, but in fact they are not. There is still a distance between the lower end of the island in the center of the lake and the bottom of the bottom of the lake.... But I am not sure about the specifics, because diving to thirty-five meters is my limit. I think I will be very stressed further down."

   "Then did you see anything at the bottom of the lake?" Sean asked nervously.

  As a demonic descendant of the underground world, Harding has a very good ability to see things in the dark, so no matter how dark the bottom of the lake, Harding is definitely not difficult. Although after hearing the descriptions of Harding and Spector, Sean had guessed about the general whereabouts of the bones of the holy demon, but he was still a little unwilling to give up, if the bones of the holy demon were really deep in the bottom of the lake , Then Sean could think of some way to help Harding get through the final depth of about five meters, so as to avoid the head-on confrontation with the Heishui tribe.

   But it’s a pity that even God didn’t seem to help Sean this time.

"No." Harding shook his head, "I didn't see anything besides danger at the bottom of the lake.... If I had to say anything, then there is probably a layer of mercury-like substance on the surface of the bottom of the lake. It looks black as a whole, but it has a silver texture, just like blood vessels, which looks a bit disgusting. However, the surface volume of this layer of material is not small, almost a meter in diameter."

  "Active Abyssal Mercury." Hearing Harding's description, Sean knew what it was. "That's it."

   "What is the case?" Harding and Spector asked curiously.

   "The range of Heishuize is so wide, and the more you dive into the bottom of the lake, the colder and the greater the water pressure. Obviously, there must be something good at the bottom."

According to game experience, the more dangerous things are usually the more good things are. This has been familiar to countless players in the game, so if you encounter strange or extremely dangerous places during the adventure, Players will find ways to conquer, the purpose is naturally to take out the hidden treasures. But these words, of course, Sean couldn't explain to everyone too carefully, so he could only explain a little bit in another way.

"I thought that what I wanted should be at the bottom of the lake, but now I think it should be on the floating island. I thought that the people from the Blackwater tribe around me would row to the island of the lake every day for defense. Now It seems that this is not the case at all. The place where they really rest should be the island in the middle of the lake." Xiao En curled his lips, his tone was full of extreme dissatisfaction. "Now our biggest problem is how to enter the island in the lake without knowing it."

  "What is active abyssal mercury?" Spector saw that Sean didn't seem to have any intention of introducing this stuff, so he asked again.

"Abyss mercury is a very special dark substance." Sean glanced at Spector, and then began to explain, "This thing is called special because it possesses both the corrosiveness and corrosiveness of the abyss. It's cold. It has the toxicity of mercury. I think the extreme coldness of the lake bottom should have part of the credit for the abyssal mercury, and judging from this, there may be a lot of abyssal mercury at the bottom of this black water lake."

"This kind of stuff is usually used as an alchemy material, but it can also be used directly on weapons and equipment by special means, which can attach certain abyss resistance, poison resistance, or corrosion and erosion to the equipment. , The effect on dark creatures is not very obvious, but for normal creatures, it has very considerable lethality." Sean paused first. It seems to be giving Spector a certain amount of time to digest knowledge. Then he continued: "The active abyssal mercury means that the thing has not yet become solid. However, the active abyssal mercury is not suitable for forging weapons and armors. It can only be used for alchemy potions, because of the active Abyssal mercury is the most toxic. Even a slight contact with the skin will cause very serious damage."

  At the end, Sean thought for a while, and then said: "You know the Heart of the Abyss, right?"

   "I know." Speck nodded characteristically. Then he replied in a serious manner, "Together with'Dead Whispers' and'Living Potion', it is also called the favorite poison of the assassins. No matter which of these three poisons is mistakenly taken, it is the result of death, the only one. The difference is that the death situation is different."

Xiao En nodded and said, "Well. In fact, the main material of the Heart of the Abyss is three drops of active abyssal mercury. As for the other secondary materials, they are all things that can be replaced at will. Anyway, this poison is basically insoluble. , So there is no difference in what secondary materials are used, only the three drops of abyssal mercury in the main material must be indispensable."

   "Wow!" Spector looked at Sean with more admiration, "Master Sean, you are so knowledgeable!"

  Sean didn’t say anything about Specter’s compliment. However, his heart completely lost interest in the bottom of the lake. If it was other treasures, Sean would still consider collecting it, but if it was Abyss Mercury, then he wouldn't bother to collect it. Although this kind of thing is a very rare resource on the Marvel Continent, it is actually not very useful, not to mention that he does not know the main method of preparation of the Heart of the Abyss, just collecting the mercury of the abyss is a very troublesome behavior.

  If you have time in the future and have a mining method, then you can come to Heishuisawa again.

  The most important thing now is how to sneak into that lake island without disturbing the Heishui tribe.

  After hearing what Shaun said, other people also fell into contemplation. This question is obviously not easy. According to the detailed observations of Harding and Spector, it is concluded that they probably need to snorkel for a distance of about 500 meters to reach the island of the lake, and there is absolutely nothing to do during this distance. Time for everyone to breathe. In fact, it is a very dangerous behavior to try to ventilate in the lake after swimming a distance of about 700 meters, because there are too many fishing boats in Heishuize.

  Don’t look at these people as if they were just fishermen on fishing boats, but for a fierce tribe like the Heishui Tribe, everyone in their tribe is a warrior. Perhaps facing a strong like Xiao En and others, there is definitely not much to parry, but as long as Xiao En can't kill all the enemies in the first time, they will definitely send out an alarm, and the result will naturally be very troublesome.

   "Shall we try to negotiate?" Hitley asked, tilting her head.

"Uh..." Sean looked at Hitley with a serious look, and finally determined that she was not joking, so this made him a little bit dumbfounded. "The Heishui tribe is a tribe that believes in ancestors, and they don't believe in any gods. . If it is another tribe that believes in gods, then we can also borrow the name of the goddess of life, but the Blackwater tribe has their own wizards and priests. Although the treatment methods are relatively simple and rude, they do not need the goddess of life. help."

"Or, if you go to teach them, Hitley, I'm afraid they will catch you as a barbecue the first time." Cecilia scared Hitley innocently, and she let the latter show a lot. With a horrified look, he cursed "Damn Barbarian" in a low voice, causing Cecilia to giggle.

  Shaun and Harding also showed helpless wry laughs.

"Perhaps, you can try a disguise?" Spector said, "I found out before that the Blackwater Tribe is not a completely closed tribe. They will also trade with some people, but the behavior is very hidden. If we can mix in In the case of the Blackwater Tribe, then I am sure that I can steal a fishing boat. In this way, we can at least use the fishing boat for concealed operations and quietly approach the island in the lake.... With our strength, as long as we can take a breather, we can swim. Three or four hundred meters shouldn't be a problem, right?"

   "I can't." Hitley shook her head for the first time, "Don't talk about breathing and diving, I can't even swim."

   "Neither will I." Cecilia also took it for granted.

  So Spector could only shrug his shoulders.

"No, this method may be feasible." Xiao En's eyes suddenly brightened, "If we can get a fishing boat, then we might not have to dive, and we can approach the Huxin Island directly. After all, those around the Huxin Island The guy must be returning to the voyage to rest."

  "But, the fishing boats are different from the boats on the island of the lake." Spector said with a look of confusion, "If our fishing boat approaches, I'm afraid it will be spotted the first time. Unless we can..."

  Speaking of this, Spector was stunned, because he obviously understood the meaning of Sean’s plan.

   "Understood?" Sean smiled.

   "I understand." Spector breathed a sigh of relief, "As expected, Lord Sean, the strategy is really great."

Hearing Spector's words to compliment him again, Sean suddenly felt a little pain, because this kind of thing is not a strategy at all, it is just a normal plan of action, and even Specter He can also sort out his thoughts instantly. Sean believed that as long as he was not stupid as a pig, he would definitely know what he meant.

   "What are you talking about?" Harding asked blankly.

   "Uh..." Sean seemed to think it was not as simple as the pain, and he began to feel that he was insulting the pig? (To be continued~^~)
