From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 284 Moon Well

"Excuse me, are you Xie Shien? The Queen has summoned you, please come with us."

Two of the Elf Queen's personal guards found Xie Shien in the industrial area and led him to the palace area.

Before these two guards appeared, Xie Shien already knew what was going on through the Chongming Bird.

He had just come out of the magic circle workshop and was about to go to the palace area when he met these two bodyguards of the Elf Queen on the way.

He walked out of the industrial area and met an elf warrior wearing captain's armor beside the corner gate of the magic moat. He looked at the elf warrior, nodded and walked away.

After entering the palace area, Xie Shien followed two of the queen's guards to the reception room in the back hall.

Queen Orianna brought Lu Heng and the other man from the back garden to the reception room, and the waiter served them drinks.

Lu Heng held the cup containing the drink. He didn’t know what it was made of, but it felt like an amber cup.

After sitting for a while, the personal guards brought Xie Shien in.

After the greetings, Xie Shien took out the life box, placed it on the waiter's tray, and sent it to Queen Orianna and General Fiona of the Queen's Guard for inspection.

Since this thing is the lich's life box and carries the aura of evil spirits, Fiona took it and examined it first.

She carefully observed the appearance of the life box, then opened the wooden stopper on the bottle, put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and an expression of surprise and confusion immediately appeared on her face.

She corked the bottle, looked at Queen Orianna, and nodded in confirmation: "They are right. This is the magical water of the Moon Well."

When Queen Orianna heard this answer, she also showed a surprised expression on her face.

How could the magical water of the Quel'dorei Moon Well, the most sacred and purest substance, appear in the lich's phylactery?
Fiona continued to examine the crystal bottle-shaped phylactery and made a judgment:
“This phylactery has indeed never been used, so the evil spirit aura on it is relatively mild, but it is indeed a phylactery that can be used to hold the soul of a lich.

"Your Majesty, their judgment may be correct. The magical spring water of the Moon Well appeared in this phylactery, which means that a lich has come into contact with the magical spring water."

Queen Orianna fell into deep thought, and seemed to remember something. She asked, "Half a year ago, the water from the Moon Well was lost. How is the follow-up investigation going?"

Fiona recalled briefly and briefly recounted the incident:

"I investigated this matter myself, but I didn't find any useful clues. I suspect that the Abyss Summoner stole the Moon Well water and teleported away after stealing it, so I didn't find any clues and there was no follow-up. After that, we strengthened the guard of the Moon Well, and there has been no theft of Moon Well water in the past six months."

After listening to the incident, Lu Heng asked, "Can we go to the Moon Well? Perhaps we can help investigate the truth behind the theft of the magic spring water."

Fiona immediately rejected the request: "No, the Moon Well is the fountain of destiny for us Quel'dorei. I can't let you get close to it. Sorry."

According to known information, in ancient times, the elves had many moon wells, and magical springs flowed everywhere on the continent of Quel'dorei.

However, later on, the abyss invaded and polluted these Moon Wells, causing them to dry up one after another.

As a result, the number of Moon Wells controlled by the elves has decreased rapidly, and now only the last Moon Well in the Elf King City of Kolos remains uncontaminated.

Therefore, the elves attached great importance to this last moon well and provided multiple protections through arcane magic.

Not to mention outsiders, even among the elves, there are not many upper-class elves who can get close to the Moon Well.

Precisely because this is the last moon well, the elves are very cautious about this matter, and it is reasonable for them to reject Lu Heng's request.

Lu Heng could understand and asked, "So, is there any written record of the theft of the Moon Well water? If we can't go to the Moon Well to investigate, I'd like to see the record."

Fiona glanced at Queen Oriana, and after getting permission from her eyes, she agreed: "Okay, I'll have the guards send the records to you later."

Lu Heng continued to analyze the existing information: "Our mission information clearly indicates that there will be a crisis in Kolos City. If the Moon Well is in Kolos City, is it possible that the crisis comes from the Moon Well?"

As soon as these words came out.

Queen Orianna and Fiona's expressions both darkened and became extremely solemn.

Although Lu Heng's words were just a guess, if this guess was true, it would be a huge crisis that would destroy the fate of the elves.

After a moment, Queen Oriana expressed her gratitude: "Thank you for the reminder. We will strengthen our precautions."

The few of them chatted for a long time and analyzed all possible clues, but the current clues did not have a clear direction.

Xie Shien took the life-saving box back. This life-saving box was related to the Creator Organization, so he needed to hold it in his hand.

The elves are extremely disgusted by these evil artifacts, and will destroy them immediately upon receiving them.

This life box was brought by Xie Shien, and he wanted to keep it. Queen Orianna did not object.

After the meeting, Lu Heng and the other two stood up to say goodbye and were escorted out of the palace area by the Elf Queen's personal guards.

……

On the way back to the hotel, the three continued internal communication.

"There are only ten days left until the end of the Abyss Battlefield, but we still don't know what the crisis in Kolos City is. There is no sign of an attack by the Abyss Summoners for the time being. Things are really strange." Xie Shien has been thinking about this problem these days.

"It's a bit strange indeed. We have done what we should do. Our priority now is to complete the mission. The main mission is not a big problem. We need to consider completing the challenge mission."

Lu Heng’s thinking is very clear. Helping the elven civilization resolve the crisis is the main goal of this abyss battlefield, but not every mission can be successful.

Besides, the elves are so powerful and have such a strong foundation. If they cannot save themselves, it will be useless to recruit more humans to help.

Therefore, the current goal should be to complete the challenge mission. Perhaps after completing the challenge mission, the crisis of the elves will be resolved.

Among the challenge tasks, the second one is to find the source of pollution, and the third one is to resolve the crisis in Kolos City. There is no clue for these two tasks yet.

So only the first one is relatively easy to complete, which is to kill 20 Abyss Summoners.

"Then are we going to leave the city to look for the Abyss Summoner?" Su Muyu had been listening quietly, absorbing information like the sea, and rarely spoke.

"Let's see if anything happens in the next two days. If there is a bounty or a mission to leave the city, we will take it and go out of the city to see if we can meet the Abyss Summoner." Lu Heng made a decision.

……

Night falls.

Lin Zeyu came out of the forging room exhausted and dusty. When he returned to the hotel, he found that Lu Heng and the others were very leisurely and asked, "Are you not going to the workshop anymore?"

Lu Heng spread his hands and replied: "I have already completed the quenching work above level 6, and I have no experience in the lower-level work."

Ever since the quencher level was upgraded to master level, not only is there no experience in quenching work below level 3, there is not much experience below level 6 either.

Therefore, after returning this time, not only the quenching orders below level 3, but also those below level 6 will be assigned to Yuan Hecheng.

Lin Zeyu lay down on the bed, exhaled, and said, "I'm so tired, but fortunately I finally got rid of the word "internship"."

He was finally promoted from an apprentice blacksmith assistant to a formal blacksmith assistant. Although it was a bit slow, he was finally promoted.

After hearing what he said, Lu Heng encouraged him, "That's good. You can try to become a blacksmith later."

Lin Zeyu's eyes lit up, he sat up straight, and asked, "Can I still become a forger?"

Lu Heng replied as a matter of course: "You can't be an assistant forever, you must switch to a blacksmith, unless you don't like this secondary profession, you can try to get another secondary profession."

Lin Zeyu raised his eyebrows and said, "No, I think the blacksmith is great, really great. After I go back, I will learn blacksmithing from Guru, and my future is bright."

Guru is the only forging master on Blue Star. Learning forging from Guru means winning at the starting line.

He learned forging not in order to forge some magical weapon. After all, he had Gollum around, and if he really wanted to forge a magical weapon, he could just let Gollum do it.

He promoted his secondary profession for the additional effects it provided.

For example, the fire resistance of the blacksmith and the temperer is very important, and it can even be said to be one of the most important resistances.

Lu Heng briefly told him what happened today, and then they went back to rest.

……

night.

In the magic corridor of the palace area of ​​Kolos City, there is a space door that ordinary people cannot see.

This is where the greatest secret of the Quel'dorei elves lies.

Queen Orianna stepped into the magic corridor, came to the center, and gently raised her hand to release a burst of arcane energy.

A mysterious space membrane appeared before my eyes, as if separating the space in front of me into two worlds.

She stepped across this space membrane and entered another space, as if she had arrived in another world.

This space is full of magical energy and vitality.

There are colorful plants growing on the ground, each kind is thriving, huge old trees, gorgeous flowers. Occasionally, animals appear in the forest.

Noticing the arrival of the Fairy Queen, a unicorn ran out from the woods and circled around the Queen.

Queen Orianna stroked the unicorn's back with her hand, then led it into the forest.

After passing through a magical forest passage, we arrived at an open space.

In the middle of the open space, there is a moon well surrounded by crystals.

This is the last Moon Well that has not yet dried up in the world of Quel'dorei, and it is also the last Moon Well that the elves have exhausted all their resources to protect.

Now, the number of upper-class elves who are qualified to enter here can be counted on one hand.

This Moon Well is also the final fate of the elves. If this Moon Well is also polluted, then the future will be bleak for the elven civilization and the civilization will decline rapidly.

Once civilization declines, the elves will lose the ability to fight against the abyss.

Therefore, when Queen Orianna heard Lu Heng's reminder today, she was very worried and came in at night to check to make sure the Moon Well was safe.

She walked to the Moon Well and slowly stretched out her hand to make a move in the air.

A stream of magical spring water floated up from the well and flowed into her palm.

She gently held the magic spring water, put it to her nose and sniffed it, feeling the holy magical energy in the spring water.

This holy magical energy remains the same as always and has not been contaminated.

After confirming this, she felt a little relieved.

At this moment.

An older upper-class elf appeared behind her and looked at her with a caring gaze, with infinite tenderness in his eyes.

Queen Orianna didn't turn around, but greeted, "Teacher, you are here too."

The upper elf who came was the great arcanist Augustus.

Augustus is in charge of the magic tower in Kolos City and is one of the few people who can enter the Moon Well space without the queen's consent.

"The rumors about the crisis in Kolos City must have worried you, right?" Augustus walked behind her and looked at her pure golden hair without a single trace of impurities.

Orianna nodded and replied, "Of course, if the crisis is real, the Quel'dorei will reach a turning point in their destiny."

"Don't worry, I won't let the crisis come." Augustus' tone was very firm, as if he had seen through everything.

Aureanna squatted down, took out a crystal pot, and led the spring water from the Moon Well into the pot.

Augustus saw this and knew what was going on, but he still asked, "Should we send them to Moon Shadow Forest?"

Aureanna nodded: "Yes, Moonshadow Forest needs the spring water from the Moonwell. Perhaps Teacher Seren can find a way to purify the pollution."

"If we transport the spring water now, the city's guarding force will be reduced a lot, which may provide an opportunity for the Abyss Conscripts." Augustus looked thoughtful.

"So I plan to recruit humans to help. The humans recruited this time are much better than the last time." Orianna gave an evaluation.

Augustus snorted softly: "It is the best outcome if these humans do not create a crisis."

After filling the spring water, Queen Oriana put the crystal pot aside and said in a gentle tone: "The purpose of conscription is always good, just like what we have experienced before. But the individuals in this human civilization are indeed mixed."

She heard from Fiona about the uneven character of human beings.

During the day.

Before Fiona took Lu Heng and the other man to the audience, another human verbally slandered them.

She was naturally talking about Blake Fielder. When she heard what Blake Fielder said, she did not express her opinion, but she could hear that this was actually a fight between human individuals, an internal conflict.

In fact.

There are also some individuals with bad conduct among the elves, such as Dionysus who transformed into a lich, who is the scum of the elves.

After Queen Orianna filled the magic spring water, she left the Moon Well space with Augustus.

……

Silent all night.

The next day, Captain Eric of the Elf Guard sent a task to the human psychics in the city, saying that they needed to transport a portion of the magical water from the Moon Well to the Moon Shadow Forest, and recruited human psychics to help escort it.

Only those with special abilities who enter the inner city can take on this mission, and the item they are escorting is the magical spring water from the Moon Well.

Lu Heng originally planned to go out of the city and complete the first challenge mission, killing 20 Abyss Summoners.

The best option is to transport the magical water from the Moon Well.

From the perspective of the Abyss Summoner, there is a high possibility of intercepting the Moon Well spring water.

In other words, this mission of transporting the Moon Well water not only earns you a bounty, but also allows you to sit back and wait for the Abyss Summoner to come and deliver his head, killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, this may be the mission that is closest to the Moon Well spring water.

After a brief discussion, Lu Heng, Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu decided to take on the mission of transporting the Moon Well spring water.

Upon hearing the news of the transport mission, almost all the human superpowers in the city gathered together, hoping to participate in this transport mission.

Even those who originally didn't know about the Moon Well had gained some understanding after coming to this world for twenty days.

Therefore, all the psychics know that the magical water of the Moon Well is extremely precious, and this mission is also the most important mission ever issued by the elves.

Moreover, only those with special abilities in the city can take on this mission, which creates an invisible threshold.

Therefore, most of the psychics in the city want to participate in this mission.

Lu Heng, Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, and Xie Shien all accepted this mission.

In addition, Rong Xincheng received the news and also brought his team to participate.

There are also nine other people including Chen Zihang, Tao Yalun, Wu Weibing, etc.

These teams all belong to Lu Heng's team, which can ensure mutual trust and make it easier to carry out tasks.

Besides.

Blake Field's four-member team and some other psychics also signed up with Eric, the captain of the Elf Guard, and wanted to participate in this mission.

However, Eric announced that only twenty human mutants would be recruited for this mission.

Because Eric can only bring thirty elf warriors on this mission.

In order to ensure that the transportation mission can be completed on time, the elves cannot recruit more human mutants than the number of Elf Guards.

Therefore, the number of human psychics participating in the mission was limited to twenty.

If you count it this way, there are three people in Lu Heng's team, plus Xie Shien, Rong Xincheng and nine people from Chen Zihang, which makes a total of sixteen people.

Only four spots left.

Black Field's team is exactly four people, but there are other psychics competing for it.

The competition suddenly became fierce.

Blake Fielder and a group of psychics surrounded the Elf Guard Captain Eric and used all lobbying methods to hope to squeeze out the others.

Especially the team led by Lu Heng, which had a total of 16 people. They took up too many places and naturally aroused hatred from some people with special abilities.

Blake Fielder questioned: "Captain Eric, there are so many of them. If any of them become disloyal during the transportation process, it will pose a huge threat to your team. I think their team needs to be cut in half."

Eric looked at Lu Heng and asked, "Are you all going to participate?"

Lu Heng didn't expect that Black Field would do such a trick, and he directly counterattacked: "I don't trust these four people. Eliminate them all, recruit four more superpowers, and then you can set off."

These words didn't even sound like a negotiation, but more like an order.

However, Eric had no objection and quickly agreed to the plan. He directly excluded Blake Fielder and the other four, then recruited four more psychics to form a transport team of fifty people and announced the departure time.
