Chapter 30 Strange Wounds
The 798th year of Guangming Calendar is destined to be a year to be written into the history of the human race.
The thirteenth emperor Constantine was assassinated and the human civil war that had been calmed for more than 200 years resurrected. His Highness died and Abbas lost his country.
Although this civil war has not yet evolved into a full-scale war with the intervention of the pope, the shadow of war has always been overwhelming the heads of all human countries. All countries are strengthening their respective military forces, and this war may be re-detonated at any time or an unexpected event.
There is no Jiazi in the mountains. When 798 is about to pass, Arthur, who is in the underground world of the Dwarf Kingdom, is experiencing another rare period of peace in his life.
Arthur lazily lay on a recliner, watching with interest two huge fire dragons churning up and down in the lava lake, fighting fiercely, which was very exciting.
The two fire dragons were controlled by Qiong and Arnold, who were standing on the edge of the underlying platform. The two entered the level 6 magician realm three months ago. Although Qiong was unable to use his own strength to perform the Fire Dragon technique, he had already seen the way to control the flame condensation of magic, and used the flames in the magma to condense the fire dragon.
Because the lava below strangely contained dark magic elements, Arnold could condense a fire dragon from the magma as he followed. However, Qiong's fire dragon was the red color of the magma, while Arnold's fire dragon was the dark red color of the magma when it condensed.
The two of them are having fun. At the same time, in order to practice magic control, they gather a fire dragon to fight each other in the lava lake when they have time. This wonderful scene will always attract many dwarves to watch.
Although Arthur himself has made a lot of progress during this period, he is still a distance from level 6, whether it is magic or fighting spirit. Arthur is not in a hurry, because magic and fighting spirit are accumulated bit by bit, and it will naturally happen to accumulate to a certain extent. If the impatience will lead to unstable foundations or even damage the body.
At this time, Arthur was watching Joan fight with Arnold while chatting with the dwarf Xiaoji casually, "What is Toren busy with recently? I haven't seen him for a while."
"Toren is injured and has been recuperating at home recently."
Arthur immediately sat upright from the recliner and asked with concern: "Is it injured? Why did he get injured?"
"You don't have to worry, Torun was not seriously injured, he was accidentally bitten by the fire monkey." Xiaoji answered casually.
Arthur knew that Fire Monkey was a creature that also lived underground, and they lived deeper underground. The Fire Monkey was about the same size as the monkeys on the ground, and the single body was not strong. It has always been one of the main preys of dwarves.
"Then let's go and see Torun. We've never been to Torun's house before." Arthur said and greeted Joan and Arnold.
Xiaoji led the way, and the three of them came to Torun's home.
Torun was not yet married, and he still lived with his father and mother. The dwarf's house was much smaller than the inn where Arthur and his friends lived, and Arthur needed to bend over when he entered the door.
Torun's father was a well-known craftsman among the dwarves. The keel bone staff that Arnold now uses is an excellent weapon created by Torun's father. Torun's mother had long known that his human friends, and immediately brought the dwarves' unique bitter root tea after seeing Arthur and others.
Torun was still lying on the bed, with gauze wrapped around one arm, and his face was not very good either.
Arthur found that Torun's injury was heavier than he thought, and couldn't help asking, "Where did you hurt?"
"It's just that I've been bitten on my arm, but the wound heals very slowly."
"Aren't you already an adult? Why are you still injured by your prey?" Joan joked with the dwarf next to her.
"The fire monkeys underground are a little abnormal recently. Not only are there obviously more in number than before, but they are also more irritable than before. They are also rushing up in groups. We were surrounded by a group of fire monkeys and suffered a little injury."
Arthur felt something was wrong, "Let me see your wound."
Arthur unbuttoned Torun's bandage in circles and found that a small wound on the outside of the forearm should have been bitten off a piece of flesh, but the strange thing is that the outer ring of the wound is completely black and there is no trace of it to heal.
Arthur showed Torun's wound to Arnold.
Arnold immediately saw something strange, "Strange, how could the wound be infected with dark elements?"
Arthur threw a "light healing technique" on Torun's arm, and the blackness around the wound immediately dissipated, and the wound began to slowly converge inward.
Toren's spirit immediately recovered most of the time, "Brother Arthur, this is so amazing, you saved me again!"
But Arthur's expression was still serious, "Is there anyone else who was injured except you this time?"
“There are several more.”
"You take me to see them?"
Toren also felt that this matter seemed not simple, so he immediately got up and took Arthur to the other dwarfs' houses.
The situation was as expected by Arthur. All the injured dwarves had their wounds eroded by dark elements. The dark elements must be driven out before the wounds could heal.
Although Arthur had never had direct contact with the fire monkeys, he knew that they were definitely not dark creatures. However, these dwarves were scratched by them, and after biting, dark elements appeared in the wound. Something must be wrong?
Arthur said to Xiaoji who had been following him: "Please help me tell King Ulantuk as soon as possible, I have important things to report to him."
Arthur met the Dwarf King that night and told him about the strange things he encountered today.
"I have received a report on the recent abnormal activity of Fire Monkey. You know that we dwarves are born to be unable to sense magic elements, so we did not mention any related things to the dark magic elements."
"His Majesty the King, what do you plan to deal with this matter?"
"Even if you don't come to report, I'm going to send a exploratory team to the underground world to find out the reasons for the Fire Monkey's abnormal reaction."
"Then let us join this exploration team, after all, we know more about the dark magic elements."
The Dwarf King smiled and refused, "The deeper underground world is not at all calm, and it can even be said to be very dangerous. You are our dwarf friends and guests. How can you let you take risks together?"
"It is because we are friends that we should help the dwarves do our best. Moreover, we have never had the opportunity to express our gratitude for the matter we borrowed from the lava fire to practice. Now is the time for us to repay us." Arthur insisted.
"You are our dwarves' true friends. I will form a exploration team in the next two days and ask Jiji to notify you when I set off."
