"I think this agreement is not feasible, very unfeasible." After returning from the banquet, Belle said to Jones seriously: "She is not an agreement, she is just an excuse. She doesn't have to pay anything and just wait for our results. If our results are big enough, they will make this agreement come true. They just want to see what we can bring back from the ruins of Krimatha. At any time, they can unilaterally terminate the agreement without our consent. As long as they press the exchanged Modo ore enough, we will have no choice."

"I know." Jones took a deep breath, sat on the coffin in his room, and lowered his head and thought.

"In this case, there is no agreement. The real agreement will not start to be discussed until we bring back things from the ruins of Krimatha. In fact, if we hold the secrets in the ruins of Krimatha, how could we not change what we want? If we just go back like this, it would be fruitless." Belle was still paced back and forth in the room.

After a moment of silence, Jones looked at William beside him: "Uncle William, can I help me open the door of space? I need to go back to Giant Snake City immediately."

"Okay." William shrugged.

"Go back now?" Belle was a little confused when Jones said this.

"I'll be back, before dawn."

"So what exactly do you want to... do?"

"Find out the situation where the Krimatha remains are now in the current situation. If you can't do it well, someone has secretly excavated it?"

After a moment, Jones stepped into the door of space.

...

At this moment, the lights in Angel's bedroom had already gone out. He was lying on the bed and tossing and turning.

The black eyes blinked in the darkness, thinking about the path he was going to take next.

...

On the balcony of the dinner just now, the queen was standing quietly, looking into the direction of the "water droplets". Her brows were frowning tightly: "Do you think they would agree?"

"I think it's difficult." Connelia, who was standing beside her, sighed softly: "The character of this Hydra Knight does not seem to be so easy to retreat. Although we are currently in a favorable position on the issue of Modo ore, the conditions given are reasonable. But I don't think he will accept this kind of cooperation so easily. They have come in person and cannot go back so easily."

"So why let him come? If we refuse his arrival..."

"Come here in person is just a way of expression. The real reason is his demand for Modo ore. Now it seems that his motivation for wanting Modo ore is much stronger than we think."

"So...what will he do? This is what I pay most attention to now. He has the support of the lichs and has many means we can't imagine. From a certain perspective, he is extremely dangerous. I even regret giving such conditions." Turning his face sideways, the queen stares at Cornelia.

"I don't know what he will do, we are not familiar with him. His information is collected from outside... He has a quarter of the power of the Bone Holy Light Holy Church. Although it is much weaker than the power of heaven and hell, we have to admit that such power is actually stressful for us. If he takes tough measures, maybe we will have to give better conditions. After all... we don't want to be dragged into war. Now the mainland is already in chaos, and we don't need to be a member of the chaos."

The Queen turned around and continued to look into the direction of the "water drop": "If he takes tough measures, then their faith will collapse. His adoptive father, Grey Gruglu, claimed to be the guardian of justice, would he become a powerful person?"

"There is no sign of this yet. It seems..." After a pause, Connelia continued: "His younger brother Ricci Grugru is already very obvious in this regard. The Holy Bone Light is indeed possible to transform from a promoter of faith into a powerful organization."

"Is there any new news about the war in the north?" the queen asked casually.

"A lot, but it's all trivial news." Cornelia replied: "The second generation of Lich King Rich Gruglu has just launched a round of attacks on the Angels, and both sides have a victory or defeat. Overall, it still cannot change the situation. In addition... Rich Gruglu seems to be on the verge of collapse. He is very smart, but he is still too young after all."

"Continue to pay attention."

"yes."

...

"Water drops".

In Jones' room, Dora, William, and Belle were still standing quietly, looking at each other.

In the corner of the room, a black space gate that seemed to be able to swallow all the light was flashing slightly, maintaining it.

...

Giant Snake City Castle Hall.

Twelve doors of space were opened at the same time.

"Everyone, our time is very tight." Jones stood on Hydra's back and said to everyone: "Please be sure to find out the situation of all the Krimath ruins in one day. What you are holding is the exact location of the Krimath ruins found in the warehouse of the old Holy See. What you need to do is to arrive at the scene and see if the ruins are complete, how large, and whether they have been excavated. If they have been excavated, then who is the other party? Do not disturb anyone as much as possible in the whole process. Then come back quickly and tell me the answer. If you encounter any situation that threatens your safety, allow the use of force."

"Yes!" Twelve teams of elves, dwarves, blood clans and goblins saluted Jones in unison. Then they turned around and entered the space gate one by one. There was also a lich in each team. It was not as the captain, but as a force guarantee. The other members of the team were responsible for searching for information, while the lich was responsible for necessary force support.

"Is that urgent?" Adael, who was standing beside him, asked cross-handedly.

"Very anxious." Jones jumped off the back of Hydra and landed beside Adair: "The blood elves told me a message. The ore we wanted was called Modo ore, which is an ore that is only produced under the divine wood. In other words, there is no place in the entire continent that can be found in this ore except Logosini. I think what they said is true. Aunt Erin once told me that the ore was very weird and did not seem to be ore."

"So, your plan is pinching into the hands of the blood elf?"

"Yes. In this way, the ruins of Krimatha have become very important. Although I don't actually think anything can be found in the ruins more than 10,000 years ago. Both demons and angels want to cut off the connection between humans in the Quaternary and humans in the Third Age. In this case, they should directly destroy the ruins. On this issue, there should be no difference between heaven and hell. Of course, regardless of whether they are valuable or not, the blood elves think they are valuable, then they are valuable."

Adair looked at Jones quietly.

Turning sideways, Jones walked out of the hall and said, "Although they are all on the land of the human lord, these relics should be in an unmanaged state. If this is the case, I must control them all as soon as possible. The blood elves are holding the ore tightly, and I must hold the relics tightly, otherwise I will not be able to negotiate with them on an equal basis."

Adair hurriedly chased after him: "That's fine."

"It's okay?" Jones was stunned for a moment and stopped: "I think the situation is pretty bad. We may not get the ore. You said 'It's okay'?"

Adair said with a smile: "You suddenly came back with the Space Gate so late and quickly gathered people. I thought you had started fighting with the Blood Elves. Just like before in the High Court."

Looking at Adair, Jones sighed helplessly.

The collection of information was much faster than expected. Before dawn, the teams sent out sent back messages one after another.

There are twelve ruins known in total, eight of which are in the south and within the Gustav Empire. Due to the intervention of the old Holy See, no one settled within dozens of kilometers of these twelve ruins. Some of the ruins are simply hidden underground. Even if you walk through it, you will not be able to find that the underground is actually a ruin of ancient civilization.

"It seems that it was originally a city, with no one living in or guarding it nearby. The damage was very serious, all of which were ruined and eroded by wind and sand. The murals and texts were basically unable to see clearly, after all, they had a history of 10,000 years. After a brief look, I found nothing valuable. Of course, if the entire area is controlled and carefully explored, I might have unexpected gains."

"It seems to be an altar or something. There is a military stronghold next to it. The people living are knights who were originally responsible for guarding the ruins of the old Holy See. Now these knights are cooperating with the forces of heaven to fight against the local lords. The forces of heaven are active nearby. The buildings on the ground have been severely damaged and cannot even see the outline. However, there are underground passages. Magic fluctuations can be felt underground, which may be a trap, and we did not dare to enter. The underground part seems to be well preserved."

"There is nothing there, just a forest. Nothing was found. But there were troops from the old Holy See nearby. They seemed to be the guardians of the previous ruins, but they didn't even know where the ruins were."

"A city built in a mountain is very large. The buildings on the surface are no longer visible, but the buildings inside the mountain are still well preserved. There may be some valuable things. They are currently under the control of the Confederate."

"A dungeon is very large in scale. However, it seems that there is a risk of collapse at any time. The old Knights of the Holy See who were in charge of guarding have been scattered. During this period, many thieves tried to enter, but basically chose to give up after suffering casualties. Currently, they are in the unmanned land."

I have to say that elves, whether wood elves or blood elves, are very suitable for intelligence work. They are agile, quick to move, and have a smart mind... Of course, the brain light I mean compared to other races that form teams with them.

Before dawn, the first batch of information had been put in front of Jones one after another.

Three of them were not found. Eight of them were large or small in size, and the ground part had basically been completely damaged. As for the underground part, at present, we can only judge "there may be valuable things". After all, time is too urgent and they cannot understand in detail.

All the eight found were not found in excavation, except for some local people's stealing activities.

The last one left, the information sent back reads: "Master Lord, I think you need to come here in person."

Seeing this information, Jones was stunned for a moment, and then quickly stood up.

There is no doubt that this should be what he is looking for.

Taking Adair, Jones rushed to the scene through the space gate.

The location is a deserted suburb in the former Gustav Empire, a place where mountains and plains meet, a place covered with snow all year round.

When Jones arrived, he had already seen a large-scale camp of Lombuck soldiers. Judging from the scale, there were at least a thousand people.

"What's going on?" Jones asked.

The wooden elf man in charge of investigating the information replied softly: "This area should have been owned by the Gustav Empire, but after the Battle of Black Dragon City, the Gustav Empire had collapsed. The Confederate Legion, which was supposed to control this area, was all withdrawn because the situation in its own country was not good. Therefore, this place was controlled by the Lombak Empire."

"Lombuck controls Gustav's territory? Why did I get no news at all?" Jones was slightly surprised.

"It's not just you, the city lord, but there should be very few people who want to know." The wood elf explained: "This whole piece is an unman's land. There were originally the Knights of the Old Holy See, but now there are no more. No one knows about Lombuck's march."

"So, the purpose of Lombak's arrival here is to make the ruins of Krematha?" asked Adair.

Nodding, the wood elf continued, "But this is not the point, the point is, we sneaked in and spyed."

"I went in, they didn't notice me." The blood clan next to him raised his hand.

"Yes, we let him in." He glanced at the blood clan and said to the wood elves: "Then we found that there were many mercenaries in this army, all of whom were wearing badges engraved with the words "Blood Elf and Dragon Mercenary Group". Their leader... was Mr. Andrew."

"Andrew?" Jones slowly opened his eyes wide, as if he understood.

"Yes, Mr. Andrew." said the wood elves seriously: "The purpose of this army is to be here for the remains of Kreemartha, and they obey Mr. Andrew. We all know that Mr. Andrew was once a member of the Knights of the Silver Moon."

"Not only, the key is that he is also a blood elf." Looking at the brightly lit camp on the plain, Jones took a deep breath and said casually: "It seems that I should have a good talk with him."
