Chapter 880 - Molten Fire City
Chapter 880 Molten Fire City
In all seriousness, Molten Fire City was just a massive underground city built in the belly of a volcano.
Of course, the core building here was a powerful adept’s tower.
However, unlike the rest, this adept’s tower was not built upon the volcanic rock, where the foundation would be stable. Instead, it was built within the flowing magma.
There were only a few fixed points of time during the year when the tower would be revealed as the lava sea subsided. During the rest of the time, the tower would be hidden beneath the boiling and flowing magma sea, cut off from the rest of the world.
Thus, this adept’s tower became the residence of the Fourth Grade city lord!
The other adepts of Molten Fire City–the other deputies included–all resided in the underground tunnels around the tower. The uneven volcanoes, winding underground labyrinths, and many modified voodoo beasts filled this underground world with life. Activity and movement were everywhere.
The entirety of Molten Fire City was split into three levels. The inner core area was the adept’s area.
That was why Greem was not at all surprised or concerned when Karak revealed his identity.
“I am also very honored to be able to visit Molten Fire City. Everything here is simply so breathtaking. It is obvious that your organization’s monopoly over the Skettis Region is no sheer luck.”
“Haha, Sir Greem, you praise us too much!” Adept Karak chuckled slightly, before shifting the topic of conversation, “We have invited two adepts for the mission we gave out. The other adept should arrive two days from now, so I will have to bother you to stay here at our place for that time. So, for these two days, I believe I should let Adept Freina accompany you and bring you on a tour!”
The Second Grade female adept standing behind Lord Karak stepped forward and smiled as she said, “Lord Greem, why don’t I bring you around for a bit first?”
This Adept Freina had pretty looks and a fairly hot figure. Her well-cut white robe further emphasized her pale skin and thin waist. However, Greem quickly looked at her and could sense slight energy radiation on her face and body.
It seemed her looks and figure had all been processed with magic.
Such a situation was prevalent among low-grade adepts. After all, beauty amongst female adepts was also a resource that could be taken advantage of. However, similar situations were rarely seen among high-grade adepts. Those who could become high-grade adepts were all individuals with strong will and determination. Such female adepts were often even more potent than male adepts in many aspects. How could they possibly ever do something as lowly as to offer their body in exchange for resources!
“Thank you!” Greem smiled and followed Freina out of the stone hall.
Once the sound of Greem and Freina’s footsteps vanished into the depths of the tunnel, the other Second Grade male adept asked, “Lord Karak, what should we do over at the mines? If Lord Greem intends to go into the mines with the mission as his excuse, should we stop him?”
The tall and skinny Kara lowered his head and thought for a moment before slowly speaking, “This Greem is here for the Queyras ores. As such, you must keep a close eye on Mines 2 and 3. When necessary, you can let him enter Mine 4 freely, but he must never approach Mine 2 and 3. Speaking of which, has that flaming tiger been around to cause trouble over the past few days?”
“It hasn’t attacked the mines ever since it was injured by Lord Dorian with the array last month. However, there have been signs of its activity around Mine 2 for the last two days. I suspect it is secretly scheming something.”
“Assign more people to Mine 2. We must not give it the space to break in. The last time it broke into Mine 3, it killed far too many miners. It’s already severely affected the production of eternium ore!”
“Understood, I will make the arrangements myself!”
“Mm. Do it well and make sure no incidents happen again. In addition, the sealing master we hired is arriving soon. Once all the people have arrived, we will immediately set off to capture and kill that flaming tiger. Before this, you will have to find a way to track that tiger’s location. It will be best if you can find out the location of its den.”
“This…” An expression of hesitance and reluctance appeared on the face of the adept. However, he quickly gritted his teeth and said, “I will make sure to do so!”
The two adepts left the stone hall, and the place returned to silence once again.
