the next day.

Until the mission set out, Lei Luo did not see [Ant King] Lando again, which made Lei Luo feel quite regretful.

This academician is a very special existence for Lei Luo.

As far as Lei Luo knows.

He was once one of his closest friends with his mentor, Gu Bo's mentor, and because of this relationship, when Gu Bo was promoted to the position of dean, he also gave a great contribution to the academician's strong recommendation.

"never mind."

With a secret mission order, Lei Luo flew towards the Immortal Fortress.

This is the first majestic fortress of the Principality of Gran and the forefront of the confrontation between the Principality of Gran and the Principality of Zeland.

Fortunately.

After Lei Luo's struggle, the mission transfer order has agreed to Lei Luo's request. The [Nightmare Devourer] who broke into the Duchy of Zeland will be brought back to the military headquarters within 30 days to prepare for the final battle.

The round trip is about seven or eight days even if Leiluo is at the fastest speed, so the time it can be given to Leiluo is only half a month.

Seven days later.

When Leiluo came to the Immortal Fortress.

I have to admit that compared to the Immortal Fortress, the Melting Furnace Fortress is nothing more than that.

Just the tower, there are three towers standing side by side in the Immortal Fortress!

"Academician Lei Luo!"

After informing him of his identity, the old general led a group of generals to come. The soldiers around him showed a look of surprise when they saw so many high-ranking generals coming out to greet him.

Among the generals, several scholars and consultants were followed.

After hearing that the military headquarters had sent this famous and legendary academician to the fortress, these people looked surprised and excited.

"Are the order of your Majesty to come to guard the Immortal Fortress?"

The old general is quite happy.

Lei Luo actually felt a breath similar to M from him.

This is a strong man, a real strong man who is not a man of a priest, and his samurai physique and courage can be cultivated to this level. Even a grand priest like Gran may not find a second one. This is the standard template for the ancient dragon-slaying warriors to establish temples and become gods after achieving heroic legends.

"Haha, Your Majesty believes that all the generals will be able to protect the safety of the fortress. Those who are stationed on the Immortal Fortress will be on the turn. After a while, there will be someone else. I am here for another mission, and this is a transfer order."

After Lei Luo was a little polite, he handed over the transfer order to the old general, and his eyes fell to the three high towers in the distance.

Not long after.

The old general looked disappointed and said regretfully: "Since that is the case, what needs does the master have? Even if you give instructions to the consultants of the chief magicians, the fortress must be satisfied with all his strength."

"good."

After Lei Luo responded, only a few high-level magician consultants from the fortress were left at the scene. The threatening aura faintly came from these people was not difficult to sense. These were obviously all the long-known extraordinary scholars.

"Master, please!"

With the welcome of several people, Lei Luo and the others first talked about the recent situation of the furnace fortress. After coming to the high-rise of a fortress tower, they began to talk about the main business.

"What is the news about Academician of the Immortal Fortress [Nightmare Devourer]?

Several people looked at each other.

One of the female scholars, also the only female among the seven present, blinked her cat-eyed gem-like eyes and looked a little ugly.

"Three days ago, Master Youyan was ordered by the King of Zelan to be sent to the God of War Fortress. However, the [Sandstorm Controller] who was on the rotation to station in the God of War Fortress this time is a conservative member who inherited the academic of Gauss Adolf's natural laws. He is incompatible with the radical faction of Sicily. Therefore, Master Youyan was detained in the God of War Fortress, and the other party spoke, asking us to give us enough ransom to release people. Two days ago, the fortress had sent Master Youyan to negotiate."

oh?

Lei Luo said: "So, the original intention of the Principal of Zeland is that at least [Bioextiner] Sicily agreed to release people, but this [Sandstorm Controller] was detained privately?"

"It should be so. As for whether the Principality of Zeland is instructed later, it's hard to say."

Another scholar adviser said: "Negotiation is inevitable, it is just a matter of cost, otherwise the Principality of Zeland would not detain academicians here."

As he said that, the white-bearded scholar could not help but say, "Master, how is the battle situation in the Dubitt Province? Even Academician Youyan had to escape to the Principality of Zeland?"

"rest assured."

Lei Luo said: "This is just that Master Youyan failed to assassinate deep behind enemy lines and was pursued by many ancient creatures. The main force of the Duchy Kingdom Legion has made quite smooth progress. He has regained many lost lands and is heading towards the core area where monsters invaded. I believe that in a few months, good news will be received here."

Lei Luo's confident words made the people present feel relieved.

At night.

Master Qiu, who was responsible for negotiating to the God of War Fortress, returned to the Immortal Fortress, after learning that the person who came to the fortress to be responsible for this mission was Academician Lei Luo of [Power of the Sun], came to Lei Luo's room as soon as possible.

"How is Master Youyan?"

Lei Luo immediately asked with concern.

[Night Watcher] is an extraordinary scholar wearing a black cloak, wearing an X-mask and revealing his eyes.

"Academician Youyan is fine, but he has suffered some minor injuries. The Principality of Zeland did not make things difficult for the academician. [Sandstorm Controller] Master Romi said that our Principality needs to pay 15 million gold coins before he can release the master."

"Five million gold coins?"

Lei Luo frowned and murmured, this is not a small number.

The Principality's tax revenue is about one billion gold coins per year, and generally about 5% of the military field is invested in the year, that is, 50 million gold coins. Even during the war, only about 200 million gold coins are invested, otherwise the national order will completely collapse.

Now, the Principality of Zeland opens its mouth and can be 15 million gold coins!

This can almost build ten fully armed balloon airships.

Of course, no matter how much the price is paid, Lei Luo must also save the [Nightmare Devourer]. This is not a problem with gold coins.

If the academician's heart was neglected because of these gold coins and he was allowed to switch to the Principality of Zeland, the loss to the Principality would be more than just a problem with gold coins.

After thinking for a long time, Lei Luo suddenly looked up and looked at [Night Watcher].

"Contact Master Romi of the Principality of Zeland [Sandstorm Controller]. Two days later, I am willing to negotiate with him on the matter of Master Youyan."

"yes!"

[Night Watcher] After leaving, Lei Luo went straight to the intelligence department.

"Click out all the information about the Principality of Zeland [Sandstorm Controller] Romi."

The intelligence part was very quick to act. After a while, the things Leiluo needed were dispatched for Leiluo to carefully review.

The God of War Fortress and the Immortal Fortress are both the largest fortresses in Zeland and the Principality of Gran.

The reason for this is not just because of humans in the two countries, but because this is one of the famous dangerous places on the Stars, the Abyss of Death!

In the abyss of death, it is extremely cold.

It is said that at the deepest point, except for the natural laws that control the power of flames, and the several evolutionary Academicians with strong vitality, the rest will find it difficult to make progress due to the severe cold.

Lei Luo remembers that among the many S-level tasks he saw in the Mercenary Hall, there was a task of going deep into the Abyss of Death to find ancient bone grinding. The reward was six million gold coins, plus a seat for the Lifetime Elder of the St. Granburg Gladiator Arena, and the Yellow Spring Bird Mount.

This shows the difficulty of this task.

The value of ancient demon bones taken out from this extreme cold abyss of death is probably no longer under some treasure-level magical substances for some scholars who master the power of ice.

What's scary is.

In the Abyss of Death, it is said that because of this special cold, in addition to the extremely terrifying ice creatures that evolved into the abyss, there are also some terrifying unknown creatures at the bottom, and even the pioneers of Antonio and Gauss Adolf, the dangerous creatures that once returned to their death!

Gradually.

Time passes.

When Lei Luo looked through the information of [Sandstorm Controller] and saw one of the pages, his eyes suddenly froze and he showed a look of thought.

When this [Sandstorm Controller] was young, he had a bloodline. A very outstanding scholar of natural laws, and he had obtained a degree certificate from the extraordinary scholar. He can be regarded as one of the many flame academic researchers in the Principality of Zeland.

It presents academic insights on stimulating flames with severe cold and weaving natural laws in the subtle.

It's just a pity.

After entering the abyss of death once, he never came out again, and a generation of genius scholars died.

Later, after obtaining the Royal Academician of Zeland, he sought help from several famous flame scholars from the Principality of Zeland at all costs, but unfortunately he got nothing. Until the end, he was also discouraged, but after a period of time he applied to station in the God of War Fortress to pay tribute to his son.

"Maybe, you can try it from this direction."
