Chapter 341 The Queen's Mission

It was noon, and the sun shone into the hotel room without hesitation. Tangke sat side by side with Wendy, he was leaning on his side, holding a sponge dipped in emerald green holy water, and carefully smearing Wendy's face on. According to the priest, this holy water can take effect within ten minutes. Tang Ke was convinced of this, because the investigative technique learned that the result was the same.

The house was filled with a strong fragrance, similar to that of lilies.

During the long wait, Wendy said nothing and stared at the face in the vanity mirror. The crossed scar looked like a crack printed on the mirror.

Tangke could understand Wendy's feelings, so he didn't bother. After smearing the holy water, he put his arms around his beloved wife's shoulder and waited quietly with her.

Time is like a trickle of sand in an hourglass, making people anxious.

"My face is getting hot," Wendy said happily, leaning forward, trying to see herself more clearly in the mirror.

Tangke smiled, so that the heart disease that had been bothering Wendy could be relieved.

"The scars are starting to itch, those wounds are healing, and even fall off a little bit, this holy water is really effective." Wendy announced the good news again and again, showing a cheerful smile that she hadn't seen in a long time. Seeing her happy appearance, it was more than a marriage. even more so.

Tangke admired the gradually changing Wendy in the mirror. After Wendy recovered, she was no less beautiful than Elizabeth.

"Dear, thank you." The scar on Wendy's face had disappeared without a trace, she turned to her side, wrapped around Tangke's neck, and gave a sweet fragrance.

After putting his mind to rest, Tangke did not leave the imperial city immediately, but stayed for a while.

During this period, Tang Ke sent people to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of Resurrection Spring, and got some inaccurate information.

Although he can use the resurrection spring in his body as a guide to find other resurrection springs, this kind of guidance ignores distance. If you follow the arrow to find it, you may go all the way to the other side of the world. Therefore, it is not possible to rely entirely on the guidance of the resurrection spring. It is a more direct and effective way to inquire more about the news.

At the same time, the first nobles who tasted the charm of tobacco have also come to the door one after another, begging for more tobacco. Tang Ke brought some tobacco with him on this trip, but he was quickly divided up by these nobles.

When they learned that Tangke could not supply tobacco in large quantities, the nobles were very disappointed.

Just like fine wine, tobacco has a very charming charm. Those nobles said that they had become addicted to chōu, and felt that the appearance of puffing clouds and mist was very stylish.

Seeing the reaction of the nobles, Tangke became more confident in the prospect of tobacco.

Longchao Island has already reclaimed quite a lot of farmland this year, and by next year, tobacco production will increase exponentially, which should be enough to supply the demand for tobacco of the nobles of various countries. However, this amount of tobacco can only be supplied to the nobles, and ordinary people should not expect to enjoy it.

Under such a shortage of supply, those tobaccos must be able to fetch sky-high prices.

"I think the tobacco must have been taken out of Pandora's Box, and two other things were taken out of it, as well as fine wine and women." The person who spoke was a young nobleman in his twenties or eighteen years old. His name was Ross. One of the nobles captured by tobacco.

Ross is a fifth-order swordsman, his father is an earl, and his strength and status are quite high. He is relying on Tangke today, the purpose is to ask for some tobacco.

To be an ordinary beast, Tangke would refuse directly, but considering Ross's status, he gave him a little preferential treatment and gave Ross a part of tobacco.

"Then should we thank Pandora's Box?" Tangke smoked a cigarette with Ross. Two young men in 17th century clothes were sitting and smoking cigarettes, the scene was actually a bit nondescript.

"It's time to thank it, without it, it would be meaningless to be a noble like me." Ross laughed twice, and then pointed to a cardboard box on the table, "Viscount, these tobaccos are not enough for me to chōu. Can't you give me some more?"

Tangke shrugged and said, "What you have in your hand is my last stock."

"Didn't you save some for yourself?" Ross narrowed his eyes and smiled wickedly. **

"Isn't it? You didn't even let my cigarette go?"

"Hey, you can make a price."

"No talk."

"How about a thousand gold coins?"

Tangke's eyes widened, Ross really didn't take money as money, and he opened his mouth with a thousand gold coins. He smiled bitterly: "Don't embarrass me. Although the tobacco left in my hand is not worth a thousand gold coins, But I will never sell it."

"No money? How about this." Ross slapped an exquisite dagger on the table with a determined look. The purple gemstone inlaid in the dagger's scabbard shone with dazzling light, and it was not ordinary at first glance.

Tangke used the investigation technique, which was a fine-quality dagger. Although it was ineffective, it was worth more than 3,000 gold coins. He laughed dumbly and said: "It seems that you are determined. Forget it, I will give you all the remaining tobacco. It's a big deal that I won't chōu myself. But I won't want this dagger."

Ross looked greedy and said anxiously, "Would you like to do whatever you want? Where's your tobacco? Give it to me."

Tangke didn't take high-quality daggers in his eyes, but he was quite happy when he saw the great attraction of tobacco. He went back to the room and put the last bit of tobacco in the bag, then went back to the previous room, threw a bag of tobacco on the table, and said with a smile: "I'm willing to exchange a fine-quality dagger for tobacco, I really convinced you."

Rose happily picked up the bag, opened it, took a deep breath, and said nonchalantly, "I can go to Dad's warehouse to get that kind of dagger at any time, as much as I want."

Tangke didn't have much likes and dislikes for this kind of son, and he did not comment, and he took another cigarette with him.

After Ross snuffed out the cigarette butt, he suddenly remembered something, raised his eyes and asked, "It is rumored that you are a sixth-order swordsman, is it true or false?"

Tangke thought that Ross wanted to learn a few hands, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to try?"

Ross waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant. I asked you this question for another reason. I learned from my father that the Queen is calling for masters. The minimum requirements are fifth-order swordsmen, and a total of five people. The team is going to 'Lava Island' to complete a mission. My father said this is a chance to hone me and has signed up for me. If you are interested, you can go with me. It will be a lot of fun to have you on this trip. "

Lava Island is located near the Greenland Empire. It is a volcanic island, and it is also an active volcano, steaming hot all year round. There are no inhabitants on the island, only a small number of heat-resistant magical creatures. This island is extremely dangerous. There were many adventurers who went to explore the mystery, but only a small number of people came back alive. Those who went deep into the island were all missing. If you only move on the outer surface of the island, it is still safe, but if you enter the cave on the island, you will die.

Tangke likes to take risks, but he is not willing to work for the Greenland Empire. He said with little interest: "I still have something important to do with me, so I can't go."

Ross didn't show much disappointment, got up and said, "There's no way. Thank you for your tobacco, I'm leaving."

"I'll take you out." Tangke also stood up.

The two went out of the house together, and the hotel guests bowed and saluted when they saw it. Tangke thought about the Greenland Empire's move as he walked: "The lava island is so dangerous, why did the queen gather strong men to explore there? She would do this because there are things worth risking in it. Lava islands are everywhere. Fire...fire...is it the fountain of fire?"

"Wait a minute" Tangke almost jumped like a rabbit whose tail was stepped on.

"What's wrong?" Roston stopped.

Tangke replied quickly: "I suddenly changed my mind and became a little interested in this trip to the lava island. Can you tell me in detail?"

...

In a conference room of the palace, the large chandelier on the ceiling shone brightly, and a cool breeze blew in through the open windows. Near the wall stood a shelf with a stack of closed drawings on it.

There were only five people in the house, and Donk was one of them, along with four other conscripts, including Ross.

Donk didn't get much information about this trip from Ross's mouth, because Ross also knew very little about it. The only thing that can be determined now is that the destination of the mission is the dangerous lava island.

Even if there is only this clue, Tangke can't let it go.

The seven springs will be born in the corresponding places, and the fire springs will only be born in extremely hot places, so it is very likely to be born on the lava island.

If this mission had nothing to do with the Fountain of Fire, Tangke would find a reason to quit, but if he really wanted to find the Fountain of Fire, he had to go ahead.

Once the Resurrection Spring falls into the hands of the empire, it will be difficult to get it if you want to get it. You must get the Spring of Fire one step ahead of the empire.

Tonke pondered these things over and over, so even Ross didn't even blink at him.

In addition to Tangke and Ross, the other three candidates are also amazing guys. The leader is a Greenland admiral named Hannibal, a seventh-order druid, known as a salamander. The other two are the fifth-order priest Nanni and the fifth-order archer Aru.

Unlike Tangk and Ross, the other three were all members of the military and were loyal to the Greenland Empire.

The door engraved with the huā pattern was pushed open, and the queen, who had been waiting for a long time, walked in, followed by the four knights of the royal emperor. The five people in the house knelt down and gave salutes. The queen nodded and walked to the front of the wall, omitting the polite words and saying straight to the point: "I admire the courage of your life, warriors of the empire, and the empire will be proud of you. .I will forever remember your contributions to the Empire."

"This is what we should do." Hannibal nodded slightly. This man in his fifties was wearing green armor and had a big tree family crest tattooed on his left chest.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Holy Master will protect us on this trip." Nanni is not too young, but it can still be seen that she was a beauty when she was young, otherwise she would not get the "Pure White Holy Hand". kind of name.

Aru is a stuffy jar and rarely speaks, but judging from his solemn expression, he respects the queen very much.

Neither Tangke nor Ross went to flatter, and stood silently in place.

Isabel glanced at the faces of the five warriors. When she saw Tangke, she paid more attention for a few seconds. She was probably surprised that Tangke would join in. Because Tang Ke has just joined the Greenland Empire, there are rich rewards for refusing to go, but it is not worth letting people go to the lava island to adventure.

Tangke looked straight into the Queen's eyes, tried his best to calm down, and showed a friendly smile.

The Queen retracted her gaze and said loudly, "You must have come to your senses to be able to gather here. I won't say much about the dangers of this trip. Now, I will tell you the purpose of this mission." After speaking, the knight on one side has already opened the blueprint. One drawing has two drawings, one is the island map, and the other draws a big fiery red monster.

Tangke's heart beat wildly a few times, his eyes fixed on the red monster in the painting, maybe he really got it right this time.

"This is the map of Lava Island. And this is what the Fire Spring looks like. A few days ago, a fishing boat passed by the Lava Island, and the fishermen saw the Fire Spring on the boat. The Fire Spring danced a few times in the sky. , and then entered the crater of the lava island." The queen continued to explain, raised her well-maintained plain hand, and pointed to the two pictures respectively.

It's the fountain of fire

Tangke put his right hand behind his back and clenched it violently, his knuckles faintly pale. He knew the Resurrection Spring very well. According to rumors, the Fire Spring's appearance was a fiery red monster, so he was so excited when he saw the picture.

The biggest feature of the Fire Spring is that it has spirituality. Just like a real beast, it knows how to think for itself, and will actively attack those who approach. The destructive power of the Spring of Fire is extremely great, and it has burned the eighth-order powerhouse to death in history.

If it is one-on-one, Tang Ke has no chance of winning against the Fountain of Fire, and because of this, he did not plan to collect the Fountain of Fire alone. Thinking of this, his excitement was much less, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head.

The people present did not notice the strangeness of Tangke and continued to talk.

Ross raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "What is the Fountain of Fire?"

The queen replied briefly: "The Fountain of Fire is one of the Springs of Resurrection. The Spring of Resurrection has the effect of reviving the dead, but it is useless to collect all the seven paths, just one. As long as there is a complete Fountain of Resurrection, no matter who No matter how long it is dead, as long as there is a part of the body, it can be resurrected."

"Ah, I have an impression. I seem to have seen it in a treasure book."

The rigid Hannibal glared at Ross and said: "You just need to listen to the queen, and if there is anything you don't understand, I will tell you later."

Ross smiled wryly, shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll shut up now."

"It is very difficult to gather the seven resurrection springs. Now is a tense period, and I have no intention of wasting national strength in this area. However, I heard a while ago that the Longya Kingdom is vigorously looking for the resurrection spring. It is estimated that other countries are also interested in the resurrection spring. Interest. If they revive the first-class powerhouses in ancient times, they will pose a threat to us. Therefore, if I refuse to gather all the revival fountains, I still have to try to prevent their actions. As long as we can obtain a revival fountain, we can Let the other people's plan to gather the resurrection spring go to waste."

The Queen showed a worried expression, showing that the Resurrection Spring put a lot of pressure on her.

If a country revives the tenth-order powerhouse, it will have a very terrifying impact on the situation of the five countries.

It is precisely because this matter is not trivial that it has been kept secret from the outside world, and it was not until this time that it was fully revealed to the applicant.

"Your mission this time is to go to the Lava Island to inquire about the Fire Spring and confirm whether the fishermen's news is true. Because the Lava Island is extremely dangerous, you don't need to go deep, just station and observe outside the island. Wait for you to confirm the fire. Izumi is indeed after the lava island, we will move on to the next step, and then I will send more people over there."

As soon as the Queen's voice fell, Hannibal asked, "If the Fountain of Fire flies out of the volcano again, are we going to collect it?"

"The Spring of Fire has self-awareness and is extremely destructive. Admiral Hannibal, do you have the confidence to take the Spring of Fire in your pocket?"

Hannibal clenched his tiger fist and replied in a deep voice, "I will definitely live up to your majesty's mission."

Isabel stared at the old general a few times, nodded and said, "Well, if the Spring of Fire bursts out of the volcano again, you can work together to defeat the Spring of Fire, and then use utensils to dress it up."

As soon as these words came out, the room fell into a tense silence. Everyone present has a certain understanding of the destructive power of the Fire Spring. With the combat power of these five people, the odds of winning are only around 70%, not foolproof.

The queen seemed to sense everyone's worries: "If you plan to fight the Spring of Fire, your manpower is obviously not enough, and I will send more manpower to your team."

Tang Ke was not happy when he heard such a suggestion. The more masters he had, the harder it would be for him to fish in troubled waters, and the less likely he would get the Spring of Fire. His brows couldn't help but knit together.

"Can I make an opinion?" Rose asked with a wry smile and raised his hand, but he still couldn't choose to remain silent.

The Queen said briskly, "Of course you can."

"If that Fire Spring stays in the volcano and refuses to come out, do we have to stay on Lava Island indefinitely?"

Hannibal replied with a sullen face, "Of course. You can quit now if you don't want to."

"Admiral Hannibal, please don't discourage young people like this." The Queen looked at Rose kindly, "I hope you can endure this arduous task."

"Don't worry, I'm just asking, I can still eat this pain." Ross nodded~www.readwn.com~ Tangke knew that Ross was forced to join by his father. willing.

"Do you have any questions?" Isabel's question was answered silently, and she looked at Tangke, "You just took office, and I don't want you to be involved in such a dangerous mission. The situation between you and Rose. Not the same, if you give up now, I will never blame you."

"Your Majesty has been thinking too much. I am willing to join this team of warriors to overcome difficulties for the Greenland Empire." Tangke calmly expressed his loyalty.

"Okay, the matter is settled like this. You will leave for Victoria Harbour tomorrow, and then take the 'Mercury' to Lava Island. This 'Mercury' has the power of the water element, which is very suitable for this mission. If The Spring of Fire has appeared, and it will definitely be of great help."

"As ordered." The five applicants responded in unison.

Tang Ke was muttering in his heart while nodding his head: "It's too difficult to get this spring of fire, just the spring of fire is not something I can deal with, and with so many masters going to **** it, I can't. Turning on them and going to a mysterious lava island. Damn, it's too tricky."
