Chapter 156 The Background of Dark Raven
In the room, Lan Wu and Olvera sat face to face.
At this time, Olvera had taken off his cloak. His pale face without blood silently told that he had not recovered. He was almost seriously injured when he led Barbara out of the heavy encirclement of Ende and others. Fortunately, his injuries were different from Barbara's. After a bottle of full vitality potion, only a little time was needed to recover from the injury, and his strength was not greatly affected.
"In fact, I don't know much about the Dark Crow." Olvera lowered his head and dared not look at Lan Wu, very frustrated.
Lan Wu was completely defeated by Olvera's first sentence. After all, he was also a member of the Dark Crow's senior management. Is it really good to be a soy sauce like this? But he also knew that the only purpose of Olvera, an honest and unsophisticated man, to enter the Dark Crow was Barbara. It is understandable that he didn't know the internal situation of the Dark Crow.
"You should know that before the Sin War, there were many temples everywhere. But later, demons invaded the world, and many temples sank underground." Olvera racked his brains and finally gave a slightly satisfactory answer.
Lan Wu nodded happily. The underground temple that he had accidentally entered became a secret base of the Dark Raven. He naturally knew that in addition to this underground temple, there were more underground temples that might be in the hands of the Dark Raven, or in the hands of Lu Gaoyin, or even still sleeping in the vast desert.
"Barbara is not injured." Olvera's emotions became a little excited, and her pale face had a little more blush: "If it weren't for that bastard Ende, no one could stop her from escaping. Even if the entire Dark Raven was dispatched, it wouldn't work."
"She's not injured?" Lan Wu keenly grasped the key to Olvera's words.
"She was poisoned." Olvera's expression suddenly became depressed, her hands deeply inserted into her hair, and her tone contained endless self-blame: "I should have guessed it. If I had insisted on accompanying her to see Ende at that time, she would not have been poisoned. When I found out, she had been severely injured by Ende and that damn woman."
"Speak to the point." Lan Wu had to remind him. This uncle with a single-minded mind only had Barbara as a woman in his heart, and he didn't care about anything else. If he didn't stop him, he might not be able to get to the point tomorrow.
Ovila obviously realized that he had gone off topic again. He smiled awkwardly and quickly returned to the topic: "Dark Crow once discovered an underground temple in a distant oasis. It was a poison temple. Dark Crow found a powerful toxin in the temple that has been worshipped since ancient times. There is currently no antidote for this toxin. Even the best antidote cannot dissolve this toxin."
After a pause, his face became serious and he said seriously: "If it is just an insoluble toxicity, this toxin is not powerful. As long as there are enough treatment potions, it can be guaranteed that you will not be poisoned to death. The power of this toxin lies in reducing the upper limit of life. Barbara was poisoned by this damn poison."
Lan Wu was immediately horrified. Reducing the upper limit of life is a life-threatening thing. The laws of this world give professionals a trait. Professionals will not die if their lives are not reset to zero. Replenishing life will make them a lively hero again. But reducing the upper limit of life completely eliminates this heaven-defying trait of professionals.
No one can afford the consequences of having their upper limit of life reduced.
If this toxin has a time limit, it is not a big threat. After the poison takes effect, we can try to find equipment to increase the upper limit of life to make up for it. But from the current point of view, the poison in Barbara is obviously permanent. In this way, the effect of this poison is too against the will of heaven.
The poison cannot kill people. Under the influence of the world's laws, it will only force people to retain a little life value. All toxins are the same. And when the upper limit of life is reduced to one point, it means that this professional is completely ruined. Who can guarantee that they will not be injured 100% when fighting against demons? Even the archangel Tyrael can't do this. Not to mention that Barbara is just a professional, at best she is only several dozen levels higher than other professionals.
Maybe it's a shocking statement. Olvera sighed again in grief: "It's nothing that Barbara is only poisoned by this poison. I can swear on my life that unless I die, I will never let her get hurt. But Ende actually has a broken soul stone in his hand."
Lan Wu jumped up in shock. Soul Stone, such a great thing was actually obtained by Ende. This is something brought out from heaven by Archangel Tyrael. Although it is a counterfeit product, it also has the ability to seal the devil. Although the Soul Stone in Ende's hand is broken, how can Barbara, a mortal, survive if she is hit by the Soul Stone?
"Is it really the Soul Stone?" Lan Wu asked hurriedly. This matter can be big or small. On the small side, if it is really the Soul Stone, it is not impossible to crack it. The Hell Furnace in the River of Fire can break the seal of the Soul Stone. On the big side, if Ende has more than one Soul Stone in his hand, then if he is secretly plotted against, he will be in danger.
"Lord Akara has confirmed it. Barbara does have a Soul Stone in her body." Olvera was in great pain. Such a big man actually had red eyes.
Lan Wu got the confirmation and couldn't help but take a breath. My goodness, the Dark Raven’s foundation is much stronger than Rogue Camp, they even have things like Soul Stone.
"Barbara didn't want Flora to be sad, so she told me and Master Akara not to tell anyone about the Soul Stone. But I couldn't do it." Olvera started crying. Such a big man cried so hard.
"Fortunately you can't do it." Lan Wu secretly complained in his heart. The Soul Stone is a strategic-level thing that is still hidden. If it is really used on me, and I am caught off guard, who can I cry to?
"Barbara was poisoned and poisoned by the Soul Stone, so she can't be cured?" Lan Wu asked again.
Olvera nodded reluctantly, acquiescing to this fact. He rubbed his eyes and cheered up again: "Barbara is now barely holding on to avoid being sealed by the Soul Stone. Fortunately, the Soul Stone in Ende's hand is not complete. Before her life limit reaches a certain level, the Soul Stone cannot seal her. We have to find a way to crack the Soul Stone before she can't hold on anymore."
"It doesn't matter." Lan Wu waved his hand and frowned and said: "If she is really sealed, then take her to the Hell Furnace in the River of Fire and smash it open. What I'm worried about is what secrets there are in the Dark Raven that we don't know."
"Hell Furnace?" Olvera's eyes lit up. He slapped his forehead repeatedly and suddenly realized: "Yes, I forgot there is a Hell Furnace. Archangel Tyrael once told us that it is the only place that can break the Soul Stone."
Knowing that Barbara would definitely not die, Olvera seemed to have changed like a different person, which made Lan Wu very contemptuous. However, with Olvera's cheering up, he gave him an unexpected surprise.
"The Dark Raven currently controls a total of ten underground temples. Among them, there are three gem temples, two types of recovery temples, four poison temples, and one skill temple." Olvera immediately told the information he had obtained.
Gem Temple.
Lan Wu's eyes lit up. Things like the Recovery Temple and the Poison Temple did not matter to him. But this Gem Temple made him very excited.
Ever since he took the opportunity to loot six boxes of gems in Lu Gaoyin's secret library, he secretly asked Kane, the great scholar. Now he knows that magic gems are all obtained from the Gem Temple. Ordinary gems do not have magic power, and only by placing them in the Gem Temple for worship can you get magic gems. Things like killing monsters and opening boxes cannot explode at all. But magic gems have a lot of uses. Using them to synthesize a comprehensive vitality recovery potion is only the smallest use.
The Dark Raven controls three gem temples, which means that the Dark Raven's treasure house may have a large number of magic gems. Good things, Lan Wu naturally won't think too much.
"I want a map." Lan Wu ordered decisively.
After Olvera agreed, Lan Wu carefully asked whether the Dark Crows had anything comparable to the Soul Stone, a strategic-level item. This is no joke.
Fortunately, the Dark Crows are not so invincible. Apart from the poison and Soul Stone that reduce the upper limit of life, the Dark Crows basically have no invincible means to show off.
After obtaining detailed information about the Dark Crows... well, only a small part of the information, Lan Wu's mood became very good. After a detailed study and discussion, Olvera finally volunteered to sneak into the training camp headquarters and first take down the training camp, the foundation of the Dark Crows.
Lan Wu's goal is very simple. He wants to completely destroy the Dark Crows, cut off the training camp, the foundation of the Dark Crows, and then gradually devour the power of the Dark Crows. This is the safest way. Otherwise, if the Dark Crows are destroyed here, a group of people will be pulled out of the training camp, and another Dark Crow will come out. This does not fit his plan.
What he wants is the destruction of the Dark Crows, and all the people who can be conquered will be added to the Rogue Camp. Compared with Lugaoin, the current Rogue Camp, in addition to the population gap, also has far fewer masters. If a group of Dark Crow members can be subdued and led by Barbara and Olvera, Rogue Camp will inevitably narrow the gap with Lugaoin and gain greater voice in the future.
Lan Wu knew that Lugaoin and Rogue Camp were currently in a honeymoon period, and the key was himself. But this fragile friendship would never last. If Rogue Camp wanted to truly rise, it could only rely on its own strength and power. Relying on outsiders... that was just a beautiful utopia.
The Dark Crow, a big piece of fat, naturally came into his sight. It was just right to use Barbara to annex the Dark Crow in one fell swoop, and then let Akara and others gradually influence these extremists. Just like the more than 2,000 humans sent by Andariel.
He didn't go to see the humans who had been living among the demons, nor did he want to. He was also an angry young man, and he couldn't bear to see those humans' contempt for those humans in Rogue Camp. He could only believe that Akara would properly deal with these humans and absorb them into becoming a member of Rogue Camp.
After everything was arranged, Gross and Graze arrived and brought the order from Jerhain.
