The town of Pamela is the closest material supply point to the Cotopaxi volcano.

The location where the foreign apprentices report is also located here.

When Glim rushed here in a slow-moving coach, it was just the dinner time of the day.

The small town of Pamela, a remote but not too cold town. The town is small and there is only one central street. It belongs to a small place that can be seen all over the town at a glance.

There are more than ten wooden houses built along the two sides of the street. At first glance, they are ordinary houses. In addition, there is a pub, a grocery store, a simple and humid hotel, and a population of 100 households. This is the whole town!

Just coming down from the coach of the station, Glim faintly heard the tumultuous loud noise from the distant mountains. This kind of sound is not an occasional one, but it has always existed since Greem came close to this mountainous area. On the periphery, the sound may not be so obvious, just like the snarling thunder in the winter, but when he came to the town, he immediately realized the power of the magical power of nature.

This is probably the sound of the continuous underground activity of the volcano!

As soon as I thought of the residents of the town living in this environment for many years, Glim couldn't help but be curious. What made them want to endure such a terrible environment and stay here?

It should be noted that although the retracement period of the Cotopaxi volcano is approaching now, the heavy smog and dust are still spurting out from the towering volcanic spigots in the distance. The town is at the foot of the mountain less than seven miles from the volcano. It is affected by the volcano and the sky is always gray. Inside and outside the town, whether it is on the building or on the gravel road, there is a thick layer of volcanic ash everywhere.

Waiting for Grimm in the small hotel is a senior apprentice named Ivan. The chest badge worn on his gray robes should belong to the local Jubel family. This Cotopaxi volcano belongs to their family resource point, and the extravagant wizards are not allowed to enter the volcano without their permission.

Seeing that Glim’s rank is only high, the Ivan is obviously not very convinced, and can’t help but coldly said: “It’s not safe even if it’s inside the volcano. It’s full of horrible hot air and Lava, are you sure you can survive in it?"

Grim indifferently looked around the lobby of the hotel, and the hand smacked a few times in the air. A witchcraft rune burning with elemental flames floated in the air. Of course, his actions also caught the attention of everyone. Six or seven wooden tables in the hall could not help but look at it.

To be honest, since Grem stepped into the threshold of the body of the fire, and then through the energy of the underground lava, his body nearly 2 meters tall is quite eye-catching. And his dark red hair and the incomprehensible temperament of the darkness condensed his unusual momentum, which attracted attention.

"Well, you are an apprentice in the fire! Then the underground environment will have a much smaller impact on you. Just avoid those nasty lava monsters, you may be able to enter a deeper place!" Ivan nodded and took A white stone was given to Grim.

This is even the passport that he entered the volcano inside a few days later!

"Go and talk to them! The people in this hall are all foreign apprentices who come here to do the task. If you can form a small team, the task will be a little easier!" Since Grim was found to be a fire apprentice, I There is a lot of obvious enthusiasm.

After nodding his head, Glim nodded slowly to the hall and slowly scanned the many strange faces who were gathering at the dinner table and finally chose to sit alone at the table.

This trip to the bottom of the earth, his more purpose is to complete his body of the fire, not enthusiastic about the reward of this task, so there is no mind to team up with others. Therefore, when you come here, you will have a look of indifference that is not close to people, just to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The sorcerer apprentices are all keen minds. Since Grim has put so much in the situation, naturally no one will harass him again. Glimm took advantage of this opportunity to slowly take a panoramic view of the situation, so I know what I know.

The lobby of the small hotel is not too big, the light is extremely dim, there are about 17 wizard apprentices, of which only 2 are in the witch class, and the rest are senior apprentices like Grimm. This actually fits the characteristics of this task.

In order to collect resources in the underground volcano, on the one hand, it must endure the influence of extreme environment, on the other hand, it must deal with the elemental creatures such as lava monsters and fire spirits that inhabit them. So senior apprentices are already the lowest threshold for this mission!

Glim dared to conclude that the elements of these senior apprentices must be more than half of the fire system, leaving those who are extremely confident in themselves even if they are not fire. The reason why the quasi-witch is so small is purely because the task of collecting resources is quite a face.

If you are lucky, you may be able to hit the fire drill area exposed by the lava in the upper part of the volcano. You may have bad luck. There is a lot of people who have nothing to gain during the three-month mission period.

At that time, not only did the task rewards not be available, I am afraid that I would have to pay for the task share.

So if there is no special demand, the quasi-witches will never want to go to the underground volcano to try their luck.

After mastering the general situation of the apprentices, Grem hurriedly filled his stomach and plunged into his room and never went out. He came still early, five days from the volcanic pause, so in these few days, he did not move out, even the three meals a day let the waiter directly into the house.

Using the free time of these days, he worked hard to study the flame enchantment. He feels that this follow-up defensive witchcraft is the most suitable for his own body of fire. If he can master it as early as possible, he is likely to form a flame similar to the abyss. At that time, whoever wants to attack him must first endure uninterrupted fire damage, which is more in line with his insidious sinister mentality.

During this period, there were two or three wizard apprentices who came to visit and wanted to pull him into his own expedition team, but they were all rejected by Glim. So one after the other, all the senior apprentices who want to go underground to explore the volcano know that there is such a guy who is going to enter the ground alone.

Being able to mix high-level apprentices is not a simple mind. They all understand that the guy who dares to do this is a hard hand that has great confidence in himself, so no one makes irresponsible remarks about it. However, it is still not a minority to watch Grim's fun in the dark!

Soon, the days when the people waited for it came!

On this day, the rumbling sound that has been lingering in the ears of everyone has finally stopped.

The gray smoke pillars that crossed the sky in the distance began to become scattered, and the volcanic ash that had fallen from the sky began to decrease and eventually stopped.

Glim, who was quietly reading in the room, perceived the changes in the outside world, pushed open the wooden window facing the street, and immediately packed everything around him and walked out of the room. There were still a lot of apprentices who were prepared as well. After everyone nodded in the hallway, they gathered in the hotel lobby.

The Ivan who is in charge of the team has been waiting here.

Waiting for another quarter of an hour, after the 20 apprentices arrived, everyone slid out and followed Ivan to the foot of the volcano.

The journey of seven or eight miles was nothing at the feet of this group of wizards. It took no quarter of an hour, and everyone came to a natural stone cave halfway down the volcanic cone. The quasi-witches of the two Jubel families have been waiting here, and they have only been placed in the public after checking the passports of the people.

The stone cave is not big, only more than 20 pings, which are covered with fangs and limestone. This may be a lava channel that leads directly to the volcano. There is no such thing as mossy lichens, and there are thick cracks and deep grooves on both sides of the rock wall. Cooked hot air.

Perhaps the bottom of the lava has just receded, and even the ground here is hot, and the passage is filled with a pungent smell of sulfur. If there is no special means, ordinary people will be invaded by the horrible fire poison in the dirty air as long as they wait for half a quarter of an hour, and the tracheal alveoli will become a blood sac filled with blood.

However, the test of this environment is of course unavoidable to the apprentices who dare to come here, a colorful protective cover has covered them inside, to isolate the outside interference. Glim did not reveal his body of fire, but he blessed himself with a high temperature field.

He quietly looked around, and he had eight apprentices who had blessed the fire defense as he did, accounting for almost half of the 20 apprentices. The rest is not the soil system or the wind system, not seeing a water system. Presumably those who are friendly in the water system are not willing to suffer in this environment.

Compared with other elemental pedigrees, the water system is not only difficult to gather water elements in this environment, but also the power and effect of the inspired witchcraft are reduced by 70%. As long as they have no problems with their brains, they will never run here to find abuse!

When you get here, everyone is basically looking at each other.

Several apprentices who formed the team joined together, and the fire department apprentices unified the elemental protection, and they plunged into the passage without saying anything. The residual temperature in the passage has not been exhausted. Once the narrow environment encounters an unexpected large-scale eruption of hot air, it is a danger that high-level apprentices will fall into it.

Therefore, everyone said one to each other, and they scattered into different passages and disappeared into the depths of the earth.

Glim noticed that the wizards of the Jubel family did not enter the passage with these outsiders. It seems that they are more familiar with the terrain here, have a more convenient place to go, and do not need to be as bad luck as the outsiders.

Glim shook his head and sighed, and he leaned over and plunged into a lava passage.
