Chapter 24 This happened In the middle
of the night at the turn of the old and new years, Romo took two knight attendants and escorted the gnoll captives towards their lair.
The reason why we only brought two people was because the other knights and militiamen had side effects after taking the rejuvenation potion.
At this moment, their side effects hit, and they were fighting fiercely in the farmhouse with their wives in their arms.
That Vincent had a broken arm, but he was still able to react slightly. It can only be said that this side effect is quite severe.
Speaking of which, the potion I made was really embarrassing. After this battle, not only did the men suffer a lot, but the women also suffered a lot.
It seems that I can no longer take this kind of medicine in the future, and I have to find something else to replace it.
Although this trip would be risky, he was not worried that the jackal would deceive him, because Romo had firm control over his life and gave him hope of life.
Moreover, according to Luomo's understanding, jackals generally work in small groups, and there is also competition between groups. Therefore, gnoll lairs are usually very secretive and unknown to other gnolls.
The magic material was too important to him, and after careful consideration, Lomo decided that the risk was worth taking.
The place mentioned by the gnoll prisoner was on the south side of the Volo River, not too far from Sardin Manor.
It seems that the jackals also divide their areas and do not set foot in their respective territories.
The human estates within the territory are their unique granaries and supply depots. Like a hunter in control of his own woodland.
Of course, they didn't dare to mess with those big estates.
It seems that this group of gnolls should still be the same group that robbed Sardin Manor last year. Because in the memory of the original owner, there was some impression of that meteor hammer.
This time, he completely avenged his father and brother's blood.
According to the Wolfman's raiding style of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, this battle basically freed his manor from the shadow of the Wolfman.
Those kobolds who escape will also tell their companions what happened at Sardin Manor.
After walking for about two hours, the sky has become slightly brighter, and the new year is about to arrive.
In a forest of dead trees, Romo finally saw the entrance to the gnoll's lair.
At this time, there were two kobolds, each holding a bag of things in their arms, running sneakily outside.
Seeing the arrival of Lomo and others, the kobold yelled and turned around to run away.
Luo Mo immediately stepped forward and killed them one by one with his sword.
The two knight attendants also came forward, packed up the things in the kobold's arms, and put them into the prepared linen bags.
Luo Mo stared at the entrance of the cave and asked, "Are you sure there are no jackals in the lair?"
"Yes!" The jackals nodded hurriedly: "When we go out to rob, we all go out together, because no one else I wish I would share less."
Luo Mo nodded slightly, believing this. If there were jackals inside, they wouldn't let the kobolds steal things.
To be on the safe side, Luo Mo put the tip of his sword against the Gnoll's waist and said softly: "You are walking in front. If you dare to play tricks, I will stab you to death with one sword." "Don't dare, don't dare." The
Gnoll said, taking the lead. Step into the cave.
The interior of the cave looks like there are traces of man-made artifacts, with brick walls in some places and some forged iron scraps piled in the corners.
In order to gain Romo's trust, the Jackal explained as he walked: "Lord, this cave used to be an iron mine, run by the Black Rock family. Later, after the mine was abandoned, we lived in it. In fact, it is not very big here. There aren't many rooms. You don't have to worry about getting lost." "
Of course, how could a person as powerful as you get lost? Speaking of which, the environment where jackals live is really terrible. I have long wanted to find a human as my master. Yes. If you agree, I am willing to be your warrior and serve you forever."
Luo Mo heard that he had been noisy and interrupted coldly: "Let me lead your way first."
"Yes, yes. "The jackal was so frightened that he immediately shut up and silently led the way.
Several people walked towards the belly of the nest. Along the way, there was always a smell of blood mixed with the stench, and it became stronger and stronger.
Luo Mo covered his mouth and nose and frowned secretly, thinking that the manor's manure pit and sheep pen combined would not smell like this.
If it weren't for money, I would never have come to a place like this in my life.
During the march, from time to time, kobolds would suddenly rush out from a certain direction. Romo would directly go forward and kill them, and then collect the things in their arms.
Occasionally, a gnoll cub would appear in the corner, grinning at Romo and the others. Romo and the two knight attendants will also choose to kill them directly.
For this non-human species, Lomo was not lenient at all.
The jackal who led the way was frightened by the powerful strength shown by Luo Mo. He was frightened along the way and even his legs were weak.
Finally, several people came to a sealed iron door, and the jackal said in a trembling voice: "Sir, inside is where the leader hides his treasure." Luo Mo
waved his Qingshuang sword and chopped off the chains on the iron door. Then he said coldly: "Take us in."
The Jackal's legs were trembling as he pushed open the iron door and walked in first, followed closely by Romo.
Under the illumination of torches, the cave immediately lit up.
After Luo Mo saw everything around him clearly, he suddenly took a breath of cold air.
The first thing that caught people's attention was the pile of gold coins piled in the corner. It looked like there were almost hundreds of them.
The shelves on the other side are divided into categories with various iron materials and ores, and even a lot of magic iron ore.
In addition, there are some ornately decorated small wooden boxes on the ground, which look like ladies' dressing storage boxes.
Luo Mo stepped forward and opened one of the boxes. A faint blue light flowed from the box and illuminated half of the hole.
"There are so many treasures."
The Jackal's eyes also became a little dull, as if he didn't know that the leader had hidden so many good things.
Romo turned around, chopped the jackal to the ground with one sword, and then turned to look at the small wooden box.
"The essence of water has been released now."
Luo Mo wiped the blood on his sword and muttered.
Three days later, Lomo and others completely emptied the cave and placed it in his basement.
He held a list he had calculated, with a look of harvest joy on his face.
The gold coins collected this time, plus those previously obtained from the Hansen Manor, totaled more than 250 gold coins.
The gold coins are actually just repaid, the key is that there are still a lot of magic materials coming in.
More than 3,500 grams of ground iron ore and one kilogram of water essence. There are also various gemstones and obsidian, which add up to several kilograms.
There are also some materials where Romo is limited by his magical knowledge and cannot even pronounce their names.
Looking at these things, Luomo thought of the water altar he wanted to build.
Based on the available materials, water essence is sufficient. Two tons of source ore are currently unavailable. The iron ore grinding is still half done.
If calculated, we have almost collected the materials for half of the altar at this time!
However, pie cannot always fall from the sky, and the remaining materials still need to be established with the city hall.
Moreover, all the jackal leaders are on the wanted list of the city hall. Bringing the leader's head and weapons to the city hall is another income.
In any case, it’s time to go to the City Hall of Volo City.
