Chapter 235: Basin of Extinction (2)
Chapter 235: Basin of Extinction (2)
Tina, lost in her memories, didn't think much of Deckard's words. With a sad tone, she continued speaking to the crowd in the hall.
"Actually, the leader of that magician research group is my teacher, Lucia."
"My teacher, Lucia, was ordered by Lord Karachu, leader of the Peorista, one of the current six heroes, to research a device to purify this toxin."
"As one of the six great heroes of humanity, Lord Karachu possesses a foresight unmatched by ordinary people."
"A long time ago, when she accidentally learned of the existence of this toxin in the Vanishing Basin, she established a magician research group to study the relevant topic."
"But my teacher Lucia and her team members suffered an accident during a research more than ten years ago."
"Not only did they die inside the Vanishing Basin, but most of the information they carried with them was also lost inside."
Tina didn't waste any time and told him everything directly.
"More than ten years ago?"
"Was it during the war that made the Kedra Pass famous?"
After listening to this, Deckard had some associations in his mind and couldn't help but ask directly.
"President Deckard is right. It's that war."
"Before the war began, Teacher Lucia was using a portable magic barrier to conduct research within the Vanishing Basin."
"During the war, my teachers never returned."
"When the war is over, we magicians will send people to search for it."
"They discovered new traces of battle within the basin."
"Considering their continued absence, it's clear they were attacked by monsters and ultimately perished within the Vanishing Basin."
In response to Deckard's questioning, Tina briefly described what happened to her teacher during his last period of time.
"Master Tina, please accept my condolences."
Deckard had already guessed from Tina's expression that she had a deep bond with her teacher. Even when the past was brought up again, Tina's expression spoke volumes. Seeing this, Deckard offered some comfort.
"Although Teacher Lucia died in that war, before she left, she said that crucial progress had been made in resolving the issue of the Vanishing Basin."
"Currently, if we can find the information left by Teacher Lucia, we can save the Kaidra level."
Tina adjusted her mood and then pointed out the key point of the matter.
"Although it may be a bit offensive, I still want to know why you didn't send someone to look for relevant information at the time?"
Deckard saw that hope had appeared, but was still out of reach, so he couldn't help but ask hurriedly.
"The interior of the Vanishing Basin is not only a forbidden area filled with terrifying toxins."
"Back then, in order to deal with the teacher and his group, the enemy released a large number of undead creatures."
"Plus, the information the teacher left at the base shows that the magic barrier can only withstand a limited amount of toxins."
"The search team at the time, relying on a portable magic barrier, could only reach the periphery of the Vanishing Basin."
"Ms. Lucia and the team took all the better and more powerful equipment and technology with them."
"After consuming a large amount of money and manpower, and even sacrificing some young magicians, we have no choice but to terminate the subsequent search."
"Based on the results at the time, the teacher must have gone deep into the basin. Then, for some unknown reason, he died in the depths of the basin."
"After making great sacrifices, we only managed to explore the inner and outer parts of the basin."
Tina took a moment again to answer Deckard's questions.
"If what you said is true, it seems we still can't handle the current situation."
After hearing this, Deckard looked at Tina speechlessly.
"It is better to listen to your words than to hear them all."
Chief Qiu, who had been standing by for a long time, was silently complaining in his heart.
"But right now, this is the only solution I know."
Tina knew she was desperately trying every possible solution. But like Senior Pastor Jermaine, she not only admired her teacher but also held a deep affection for the Kedra checkpoint. Therefore, she said this was not a solution.
"Everyone, is there any other solution?"
"If not, we'll have to begin mobilization preparations to evacuate Kedra Level."
After the false alarm, Deckard asked everyone again.
By this time, this was Deckard's third time asking.
Obviously, there is no other solution for the people in the hall.
Qiu Qiu and Angelica felt that they came here just to go through the motions.
Fortunately, Deckard knew the fault and did not make a big deal about the enemy team. This made the enemy team and Angelica feel relieved.
"Ah~"
"Now that things have come to this, let's all go our separate ways."
Deckard waited for a while, and seeing that everyone in the hall was still unable to come up with a solution despite discussing it privately, Deckard finally ended the meeting directly.
"Angelica, look at Deckard."
Qiu Chief discovered at this time that after Deckard finished speaking about the disbandment, his energy and spirit disappeared a lot and he fell directly into decadence.
Upon seeing this, Chief Qiu couldn't help but pull Angelica next to him and whispered to her.
"The Kaidra checkpoint is currently on the verge of collapse, and as the person in charge, he certainly bears the blame."
"Once we go to the holy heaven, we may never see him again."
After Angelica glanced at Deckard, she explained a few words to Chief Qiu from a rational perspective.
"Angelica, I have the feeling that President Deckard isn't worried about his own future."
"He must be very fond of this level."
"But after this incident, I may not hear President Deckard's catchphrases anymore."
Compared to Angelica's rationality, Chief Qiu was full of emotion at this moment.
"Oh~"
"What's President Deckard's catchphrase?"
"We usually hang out together, but I've never heard President Deckard say anything about this."
"If you can, could you please tell me about it?"
Angelica was obviously very interested in one point of the enemy chief's words.
"Cough cough!"
"I'll try. If my imitation isn't good, please don't laugh at me."
Chief Qiu coughed twice embarrassedly, and then gave Angelica a shot of prevention first.
Then Chief Qiu tried to shout loudly with a passionate voice.
"You are not fighting alone, let's slay the dragon together!"
As Qiu Qiu shouted, he couldn't help but think of the previous game. This was the only most profound impression this NPC left on him.
"Dragon slaying?"
Angelica listened, muttering to herself. With a deep understanding of dragons, Angelica knew this might be a distant dream for countless people. But if successful, they could become a figure on par with the six heroes. They could even be like Barna, rising from a relatively unknown mercenary to quickly establish the continent's top power—the Adventurer's Guild.
