People are pirates, creating Cthulhu

Black Iron Town, hotel lobby.

"Have you heard?"

"what?"

"The black market just opened this morning and the transaction volume has already exceeded one billion beli!"

"how is this possible?!"

"Really! Today the black market has a new futures trading method. You can buy black iron ore at any time within three years."

When he mentioned this, everyone who was having breakfast gathered around him. This was the first time he encountered such a new thing. After all, people who came to Black Iron Town were all for the Black Iron Mine, and they were quite concerned about the changes that had taken place in the town.

However, what was incompatible with the crowd was a woman wearing a gray trench coat, her whole face hidden under her hood. She ate a few bites of breakfast and then left the hotel and walked towards the edge of the town and the forest. go.

Walking through the forest, the woman in gray robe came to the edge of the mine.

Gray mist covered the body of the gray-robed woman, and her beautiful figure gradually disappeared from sight, but it could still be seen from the footprints that appeared on the ground out of thin air that she was walking towards the bottom of the pit.

Is this where God has led me?

Climbing down the ladder to the bottom of the pit, the gray-robed woman Olvia looked around. The place was deserted, with only the ladder hanging from the tall stone walls announcing that people were digging ore here not long ago.

However, from the iron picks and bamboo baskets scattered messily at the bottom of the pit, as well as the ore that was obviously manually dug around, it can be seen that these miners seemed to have encountered an accident, and they did not even have time to take away their tools.

I don’t know if they escaped or died in the end.

She soon focused her attention on the dark hole not far away from her. Just when she noticed something unusual and wanted to get closer, the earth's crust suddenly surged, and countless black mist spewed out from the hole.

Magic circle of protection!

A strange halo surrounded her, but when the black mist touched the halo, it did not trigger the automatic protection mechanism of the protective magic circle at all, and the black mist swallowed her up instantly.

In the black mist, everything Olvia could see was darkness, and she felt extremely difficult to move, as if the black mist was not mist but a mist-like mucus that trapped her whole body.

In this state, she couldn't move her hands or speak, let alone chant a spell.

Therefore, even though she noticed that the black mist was dragging her back into the cave, Olvia was unable to do anything about it.

After an unknown amount of time, Olvia finally felt that the black mist had stopped, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the black mist surrounding her began to squirm again, as if it was eating.

Olvia's heart felt cold, but she didn't expect that the protective magic circle that had not responded for a long time suddenly exploded under the writhing black mist. The colorful halo turned into indestructible spikes and instantly broke through the dense sticky surrounding her. Thick black fog.

It's now!

She immediately seized the opportunity, moaned quickly, and gray mist poured out along the passage opened by the spikes.

"wheel!"

Olvia suddenly appeared in the damp and dark open space, and a high bulging black mist on the wall not far behind her suddenly collapsed as if it had lost its support.

In this strange environment, Olvia first put a protective magic circle on herself again, and then she had time to look around this strange place.

She was currently in a long and narrow passage. Although the ground was covered with strange and gorgeous flowers and plants, the surrounding walls and the stone wall above her head were covered with the black mist that had just swallowed her up.

Looking at the fog that was constantly churning in front of her eyes, Olvia felt wary. She was worried that she might not know when the black fog would swallow her up again.

Although the protection of the protective magic circle should not be a big problem, this sticky feeling made her extremely uncomfortable.

After walking forward for a while, passing through grass, gravel, and sand, they finally ended up on an ice field. Looking at her reflection on the ice field, Olvia suddenly seemed to remember something, and she closed her eyes while chanting a spell.

When he opened his eyes again after chanting the mantra, a dazzling light burst out.

Although she still couldn't see through the composition of the black mist even in the state of Veri's Seal, she unexpectedly saw a heart beating slowly and powerfully in the thick ice field.

The appearance of the heart caught her attention, and streaks of green light exploded on the ice field. The thick ice layer decomposed into green impurities under the action of Green Collapse. After a while, she smashed out the ice layer. A huge pothole.

Just when she was about to get close to her heart, a voice sounded from all directions: "No!"

Danger loomed in her mind, and a black mist above her head broke away from the wall and rushed towards her. However, although this speed was very fast, it was not as fast as the black mist she encountered in the mine before.

Olvia muttered quickly, and the gray fog dispersed, and she moved herself to another place. Then she kept chanting spells, and shot green light towards the black fog. This black fog looked extremely clumsy, not at all like before. It was so agile that it was instantly blown apart by the Green Honkai Impact.

After defusing the black mist's attack, Olvia continued walking towards the heart when she saw that the black mist did not continue to attack her. She guessed that there must be something weird about the heart.

Maybe this is the fatal weakness of this black mist.

Sure enough, just when she was about to get close to her heart, a voice came from the black mist again: "Don't touch it!"

The black mist seemed to be a little anxious this time. The black mist was attacking her from all directions. However, this speed could not keep up with Olvia's casting speed. This level of attack could not even reach her clothes. bump into.

The offensive was neutralized again, and the black mist seemed to know the strength gap between the two, so the black mist beside the wall turned into the image of a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, begging bitterly: "Please, please, Don't touch it!"

Olivia stopped in surprise when she saw that the black mist had even transformed into a human form. She originally thought that the black mist was just a creature with basic intelligence, but she didn't expect that it had already acquired self-awareness, so that the two could have Possibility of communication.

What's more, the strength of the black mist here after two consecutive trials is very different from the initial performance, and it doesn't seem to be a deliberate show of weakness, because it is meaningless.

Based on these two factors, Olvia decided to try to communicate with it. It would be good to at least collect some basic information.

"Who are you and where is this place?"

While Olvia asked Kurogiri questions, she took a few steps closer to where her heart was without leaving any trace.

Although she has decided to have friendly communication with the other party, after all, the other party has shown strength that is comparable to hers, so she still needs to take necessary precautions.

"My name is Nuo Qian, and I am a miner. This is the underground level of the mine in Black Iron Town."
