Lord Helanza

Worried that the rays of light of the holy light torch would expose the whereabouts of the squad, Surdak extinguished the holy light torch, and all around immediately plunged into a cold darkness.

The ground in the cave is not flat. The stone wall is full of protruding stone edges. The gravel at the foot is as sharp as a knife. The stalactites standing in great numbers on both sides of the stone pillar are just like the hands of Knight. The long spear of Squad, in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, may hit these rocks with a little carelessness, and the squad group of four cannot continue to move forward.

Andrew slammed his head against the raised rock, making a dull noise.

Surdak hurriedly grabbed Andrew and said: "Wait, it won't work! Before we find the Hell Hounds, maybe they have already run away, we still can't adapt to the dull world after all."

Andrew rubbed his hand and knocked out a big bag of forehead, and said depressed: "If you can light the torch, we will become targets in the dark."

Surdak squatted down on the rock. Four pottery bowls were placed on the ground to ignite the dim-blue flame inside, and the cold rays of light emitted from the cave. The flame reflected everyone’s face into azure, especially the face of Ogre Gulitum which seemed the most terrifying. This is the first time that Surdak has initiated a sacrifice ceremony in front of squad members.

Although the sacrifice ceremony has been opened several times before, the altars are hidden in tents, and the squad members have not seen the complete ceremony.

'You are the holy essence of light and sound, the most beautiful and harmonious, the brilliance, the most pure and innocent...'

After Surdak chanted this prayer, double-sided Four-armed Demon God Among them, the face of the god turned to Surdak, and the hollow and deep eye sockets under the mask looked straight into the distance.

Surdak took out two hell dog heads and placed them on the altar. The two hell dog heads slowly disappeared in the air, and four light beams fell on the squad members. This time, Surdak What I pray for is'Eyes of Truth'.

'Eyes of Truth' can not only see the mana fluctuations in the demonic beast's body, but also has the function of detecting invisibility and night vision. The only drawback is that the effects of Eyes of Truth can only maintain one or two When I was young, it was far less durable than the'Body of God's Blessing'.

ogre rubbed his eyes vigorously, and said with surprise on his face: "Hey, Andrew, I can see..."

There is still darkness in front of everyone, just those in the darkness. The rock wall and the gravel under his feet suddenly had a light-colored outline, just like a kind of perspective, Sammy stretched his hand to touch the stone wall, and encountered the cold and hard rock wall. Obviously, the outline of the simple lines in his eyes is Real.

The half-elf archer suddenly understood why Surdak asked the guards who healed the wounds to pay the corpses of the hell dogs in the treatment room on the edge of the city wall. Finding the magic vein spirit bone, he didn't see him dissecting all the corpses of the hell hound, but he could accurately find the precious spirit bone.

Samira asked in a little surprise: "Captain, did you find the magic veins in the body of the hell dog by this?"

I knew it was concealed. Without help, Surdak admitted frankly: "It's almost like this!"

After Andrew has the'Eyes of Truth', he also knows what this ability means. He thinks of Vojmara City on the side. Those hellish dogs who were killed on the outer battlefield sighed and said: "After most of the corpses of hell dogs died, they were directly carried to the corpse and burned without even looking at them. I don’t know how many precious ones were burned. Mageweave spirit bones."

Samira said kindly to Surdak: "Captain, or wait until this mission is over, after returning to the city, we will go outside the city to help clean the battlefield, when the time comes, we must There will be something to gain."

Surdak knows that half-elf archers will not miss any good opportunities to make money, especially after having the'Eyes of Truth', the corpses of the hell dogs on the battlefield are like It's an unexplored treasure. As long as you find a'magic pattern spirit bone', you can make a lot of money. If you block Samira's fortune, it is estimated that this half-elf archer will hate him for the rest of his life.

However, the principle issue should be brought up first. Surdak said to Samira: "The premise is that the dispatching mission of the Helanza guard battalion cannot be affected."

"Of course!" Mila readily agreed.

Surdak, holding a holy light torch in his hand, stood beside the stone wall and said to Samira and Andrew: "When the time comes, I will help you bless the effect of'Eyes of Truth'. As for who can If you find the spirit bones, it’s all your luck. You can dispose of these magic-weave spirit bones so that you can subsidize the household." The bones were given to them as much as possible, and both of them were overjoyed.

The half-elf girl holding her right arm with one hand, standing beside Surdak, excitedly said to Surdak: "Captain, I want to hear you talk about Helanza city!"

Perhaps in her heart, she believes that Helanza is a rich city, otherwise, how could there be such a generous person.

Surdak didn’t know how to speak for a while, so he organized some language to say: “Uh, Helanza city is still cold in winter. There were three heavy snowfalls this winter. The beautiful mountain city, the people in the city are very enthusiastic, just like Karl platoon..."

He remembered the scene when he came to Helanza on horseback, before he could finish describing Helanza. , Samira, who was walking beside Surdak, stopped. She put her finger on her lips and said in a low voice to everyone on the squad: "Hush! There is a hell dog in front of... "

The squad no longer chatted in a low voice, but followed Samira's footsteps and touched them forward.

In fact, hellhounds are also very unsuited to the extremely dark environment. They rarely attack the city at night, unless there is enough fire at the head of the city.

The hell dog is at the fork in front of the cave. From a distance, you can see the burning lava flow on it. This hell dog is like a mass of moving in the dark. The flame, it is swimming back and forth in this cave, but because it is the only light source in the cave, it makes it unable to see all around the space outside of the light, it lowers its head and uses its sensitive nose to keep going around. Sniff the smell and listen to the surrounding movement with ears.

Maybe it has heard the conversation of Surdak squad, but in this echo-filled cave, he still needs to carefully identify the source of the sound. It is precisely at this fork in the road that the target suddenly becomes silent. The hell dog didn't know where to go.

Suddenly it smelled an unfamiliar smell, it moved towards that piece of darkness, and rushed over,

It didn’t even have time to scream, and was struck by a big axe that emerged from the darkness. He fell on the rocky ground before the hell dog's whimpering sound could be heard.

A gap cut out by a sharp ax appeared on its forehead, its brain cracked, and it died almost instantaneously.

Even though its head skeleton is the hardest place on the body, it looks a bit fragile compared to a large axe mixed with magic black iron.

It’s a pity that this hell dog doesn’t have precious magic veins on his body. Andrew cut off the hell dog’s head quickly, and ogre squatting aside hesitated. He has been After eating the gruel made with marching rations, and seeing such a big hell dog, even if he knows that eating too much meat on the hell dog will cause stomach pain, he still feels reluctant to give up.

Surdak walked up to Ogre, reached out to patted Ogre’s broad shoulders, and said to him, “This thing is not delicious. When we finish our mission this time, I promise you that I will give it to Vojmara. You buy a whole cow and roast it. You may not have eaten that kind of whole roast cow. There will be a lamb in its belly, and there will be a fat chicken in the lamb’s belly. The meat will be used in advance. Marinated with spices and salt for a day and a night, nothing is more delicious than that."

"Okay, Surdak, I know you will take me to eat that delicious, right!" Ogre Tun He drooled and asked expectantly.

"Of course, what I promised will be done." Surdak patted his chest and said to Ogre.

"I really can't wait! How long shall we stay in this ghost place?" Ogre now with one's heart set on speeding home, complaining with a depressed look on his face.

Samira walked in the forefront. She followed the path of the hell dog and touched the cave.

"When we find out the secret here, we will find a way to get out of here!" Surdak said to Ogre Gritem.

Following the path of the hell hound, I walked forward for nearly a kilometer, and there was a vague howling in the distance. I don’t know how many hell dogs there are, but the squad doesn’t Without stopping because of this, the battle squad walked to the front of a stone gate nearly ten meters high. Through the'Eyes of Truth' Surdak, I saw the stone gate carved with primitive patterns. I couldn't understand the specific meaning of the patterns above. It looked like a huge magic book.

The door was half open, and the voice of the hell dog came from inside the door.

Surdak can vaguely see the precise gear mechanism hidden in the shaft of the stone gate. He knows that there is no such exquisite mechanical craftsmanship in the Grimm Empire.

When the battle squad passed through this huge stone gate, I only felt that a gust of cool breeze was blowing through the stone gate, and at the same time a faint light came from inside the stone gate.

Surdak stands at the entrance of the stone gate, and at the foot is like a huge cave that can accommodate nearly an entire city. On the top of the cave, there are some dim Moonstones like the sky full of stars. This is the underground ruins. With all the light sources, there is a karst cave hidden in the remains of an ancient city that cannot be seen at a glance. Although most of the buildings are broken to only a pile of rubble and gravel, some of these rubble and gravel are still standing. Stone buildings, but most buildings lack a complete roof.

At this time, he carefully and carefully looked at the location of the squad.

He found that the squad entire group actually came to a long stone platform, where you can almost overlook the vast arched space in front of you, and the stone platform on which the squad is located looks like A huge window sill, perhaps only a giant can make the building so tall, and this ten-meter-high stone gate does not look like a stone gate at all. This stone gate is open in mid-air, and there is no way to the bottom on both sides. The stairs look more like a ventilation window in a huge space.

Obviously, Samira and Andrew didn’t know that there was such a large ancient ruins hidden here. A group of hell dogs with dark red lava flow through the ruins under their feet. A group of ghost monkeys are running away in front of him. Under the weak light, these huge hell dogs are rampaging in this complex, and there will always be some slow ghost monkeys falling on the sharp of the hell dogs. under claw.

Those hell dogs bite a lively ghost monkey, will leave the hunting team, holding the prey along a wide road to the depths of the ruins.

This ruin is much larger than the small town of Meijin, almost as large as Vojmara, and although there is only a ruin left in the city, the streets are well organized, Those buildings that have turned into gravel are said to have patterns that are incomparable to Vojmara today.

"There used to be a group of underground giants on the plane of Maca?" Surdak asked the half-elf archer in a low voice.

Although the half-elf archer Samira used to be the guide of Vojmara City, she did not know the history of the plane of Maca, so she couldn't answer Surdak's question for a while.

She set her eyes on Andrew, and Andrew explained in the lowest voice: "I'm just an aboriginal of the Nanai tribe, and the civilization of our tribe’s inheritance is not as long as you think..."

Surdak squatted on the stone platform, observing the underground ruins below.

This stone platform is tens of meters high. Heaven knows how the hell dog climbed up, but if the squad members want to get down from here, they need to use a strong rope, Surdak’s magic. There was a rope in his pocket, but when he bought this rope, he only considered the weight of an ordinary Knight. Whether this rope can withstand the weight of Ogre is yet to be known.

Surdak said to Andrew and Samira: "Those hell dogs have occupied this underground ruins. Maybe the Devil’s Gate or Hell Passage that the command is looking for is here. We have to find a way to mix things up. Go in." Turned his head and said to ogre again: "Glitham stay here, guarding our final escape route, don't worry, I will leave you enough to eat to ensure that you won't be hungry."

ogre I heard that there is food, so naturally I don't have any comments.

At this time, Andrew said with emotion: "It would be nice if there was the secondary invisibility potion of Meizu town."

Surdak thought of spending time with Carl in the magic groceries in Pena City. Among the many scrolls in the store, when thinking of the battle at Frozen Lake Manor, Surdak spent a lot of money and bought a few secondary stealth scrolls. He said to Andrew, "Wait, it seems that I really paid it back. I brought a few bottles, this kind of secondary invisibility potion is not rare in the Grimm Empire..."

As he said, he turned through the magic pocket for a long time, and then turned out five bottles of secondary invisibility from a pile of scrolls. Invisibility potion.

"Shall we drink it now?" Andrew asked.

Samira hurriedly stopped Andrew’s proposal. She said: “In fact, you can drink again when you are in danger. There is nothing more interesting than the disappearance of those hell dogs in front of one's eyes. That’s it... and no one knows how big this ruin is, how long we have to wander here!"
