Volume 3 The Dragon and the Song of the Wind Chapter 100 The White Rat Dungeon (3)
June 5th, night.
"They've been out for a whole day and a night, and they're going to rescue Mr. Kronos tonight, so you're not in any hurry. Zoe wondered. She shoved the cutlery into the table. She couldn't eat anymore because Glori and Will hadn't been back since last night.
"I went to look for it this morning, I went to the cliff, but I found nothing. Dylan shook his head in disappointment.
"Glori Carlos is a man of many possibilities, and I believe he always manages to turn things around. Pod said something inconsistent. I didn't follow him last night, and I was to blame, she thought. "But what will happen to them?" she said worriedly.
"I'm done eating, and I'm going to do a prayer. I hope the two of them are safe. Iris said unhappily. Aina imitated her on the side, clasping her hands together.
"Knock...... Knock knock......" There was a sharp knock on the door. Zoe got up and opened the door, and the person in front of her was Paz.
Paz looked around the hallway of the inn, then stepped inside the door and closed the door. "Are you ready? Right now, Aldwin is already preparing to set fire. He said softly. At this time, the figure in the hallway was hiding behind a raised wall.
"Gloriy and Will were gone, and a whole day and a night passed. Zoe said anxiously. Paz looked at Dylan, who sat in the corner and looked at him and shook his head.
"Did you hear that? Gudo is out tonight, this is a unique opportunity! You will regret missing it! And Corrèz was already suspicious of me, and I noticed a figure following me all the way here. Paz looked urgent.
"It's useless to say anything now, it must be dangerous there, it's too risky for us to save people. Susan explained. She said this, but still put the prepared potion in the package.
"It's important to Glori, and if I have to go, I'll go. I don't care about the dangers!" Zoe put on her magic gloves and turned to open the door.
Iris grabbed Zoe's arm. "You can't do that, and there's watchers out there. She said.
"Zoe, we're all worried about Glori, you don't have to. Let's go together. Dylan put on his armor and cloak and opened the window of the room, from which he intended to go out.
"Well, that's all there is to it. The whereabouts of Glori and Will will be discussed after this is done. I'll help you find them. Paz gritted his teeth and said.
"Well, I'll leave it to you here. Iris grabbed me. Dylan said with a frown. He hugged Iris and jumped out of the window. Zoe and Pod follow, while Aina hides in a magical light curtain. Susan set up a few traps in the room and chased them out.
"Good night, everyone, I am leaving. Paz politely closed the door. He calmly walked to the staircase of the hallway, ready to go back to Aldwin. He knew the people hiding in the hallway, following closely behind.
After some time in Paz, a fire broke out in the Luna Garden of the Church. There was a strong smell of wine in the fire. The church's worshippers and knights were busy putting out the fire, and the sound of buckets colliding mingled with the sound of running. The village near the church was also lit up.
"It's on fire! Someone put out the fire! The Luna Flower is going to burn!" Path and Aldwin cried out for help in the hallway of the church. Tired of shouting, he and Aldwin hid behind the stone pillars in the hallway.
"Haha, Brother Aldwin, what a fire, and the wines in the Corrèse cellar have made a difference. Paz laughed, then covered his mouth again.
"Haha, my transfer magic is working quite well at this time. Corryz must be angry. Aldwin scratched his nose with his thumb. Only then did he notice the dust on Path's face. But he couldn't keep laughing, he knew. So, he looked at Paz seriously.
"It's time for you to get out of here, I've got your horse ready under the drawbridge. That's a good horse, remember to help me take care of it. Paz looked forward to the future and let himself lose his smile. He hugged Aldwin tightly.
"Goodbye, and I hope Bluestar and his companions succeed in rescuing Mr. Kronos. Good luck to you too, my brother. Aldwin and Paz exchanged pouches and drained their drinks.
Moonlight shone through the crevices of the rocky cliffs and fell onto Aldwin's shoulders. And another moonlight, through the gaps in the floor, went deep underground.
At this moment, Dylan's people were overwhelmed by the guards of the underground prison—waves of zombies that these testers had turned into.
"Elris!" Dylan shouted. He was crowded with zombies all the way to the other side of the deep ditch edge passage.
"Dylan, come over here!" shouted Irris, hiding behind Zoe.
"Flame Spear!" Zoe used her magic to burn a row of zombies besieging Dylan to ashes, "Jump! Dylan!"
A zombie steps on a trap trigger in a passage. The passage on Dylan's side was crumbling. "I'll be fine, protect Irris, you guys go first. Dylan shouted. He swung his sword in succession, pushing the three zombies into the deep ditch.
"Uh......," a muffled voice came from behind Dylan. He looked back and saw a sturdy zombie with two axes in his hands. The moment he turned around, the axe man was already slashing at his face. Then, the surprise appeared.
"Dragonfire!" Glory suddenly jumped behind the axeman, tearing it in half with a sword, "Dylan, are you alright? What about them?"
"They're on the other side. It's just a good time for you to come. Where did you and Wei go all day and night? Dylan gave the zombie in front of him a kick and kicked it off the fault. And in front of the fault are other partners.
"When the things here are done, let's talk about last night's events slowly. Now, let's catch up with them. With a swing of his sword in his right hand, Glori blew the zombies rising from behind towards the entrance.
"Guys, this place is so crowded, we should skip it. "Wei's sword is being bitten by another zombie. Facing the zombie rushing up, he sent a punch, which shattered the zombie's head with one blow.
"Grab these vines and I'll pull you over. ”
The pods appear in the darkness on the opposite side. She used her magic to weave several vines and wrap them around the rock wall. Therefore, the three of Glori grabbed the vine that had extended and came to the pod's side as the vine contracted.
"Glorry, it's great to see you're safe. Zoe heard them and shouted.
"Now, it's not time to celebrate. Let's ......" Glori shone the road ahead with the light of his sword. Zoe nodded and followed the crowd.
A little further on, there is the research room of Gudo. The doors of the cells on both sides of this vicinity were the same as the cells at the entrance, and when Dylan and the others entered the dungeon, they were all automatically opened, and the zombies escaped from these cells. However, they never saw any trace of Mr. Kronos.
"It seems that they have all become white rats used in experiments, all of them have become zombies, and have become the gatekeepers of the Gudo Institute. ”
As she spoke, Iris prayed in her heart. She had pity on the dead. Of course she knew they were criminals, but there were innocent people among them, and even criminals deserved the proper sanctions. When she was a priest in the City of Miracles, she often healed the wounds of the poor, and she was willing to listen to the needy, and she wanted to continue to help the less fortunate.
"This is not the time to pray, to hide behind me. Dylan admonished.
"A little further on, I could feel a familiar magic. There's something chilling in the depths of here, and Iris shivers. She folded her arms and followed Dylan.
"Then let's go a little further, and hopefully the answer is ahead. Glori split a running zombie in half. His gaze was determined, as if he was not afraid of any zombie. He shook the sticky blood off his sword and continued on.
"Can you feel it? It's faint, but there are two sources of mana fluctuating in front of you, one of them is Firethorn - Andrew Kronos, and who is the other one?" asked Irris.
Then, the braziers on the walls on either side of the front were lit by Zoe. The partition on the wall displays many potions and test tubes containing potions of various colors, and there are several wooden boxes that have been opened near the test bench.
"Where does the magic come from?" asked Glori softly. Iris pointed to two different secret doors in front of her.
"This is where Gudo rests, isn't it? Dylan put his sword on the table and lay down on the bed in the next room. He looked at ease. The devil's bed—it's so much more comfortable than the hotel bed!" he thought.
"Dylan, you should be calling for a few servants to make some snacks and bring them over. Wei teased. He said this, but he thought of the feather bed in the lord's hall. But now was not the time to think about that, so he shrugged.
"We open the door and see what's there. Glori pushed open the wooden secret door on his left, and there was a locked iron door inside, which he slashed with his sword, and the lock was broken. At the moment when he was about to open the door, he intuitively paused, as if sensing danger.
"Glori Carlos?" Andrew's shout came from inside the door, "don't open the door! It's a trap! Get out of here! That sinister guy is poisoned here, but unlike us, we've been instilled with an antidote and are resistant to it. ”
"This trick was also used by Silver, at the Hunter family's underground White Eagle Distillery, but we all broke through," Glori comforted Andrew, "We'll get you out, but you said two people, who is the other?"
"Daphne Victoria, my love. Andrew told Glori in a gentle tone.
"Andrew, you should let them leave quickly, and when that demon returns, none of them will be able to leave. Daphne's voice came through the room on the other side.
"Daphne Victoria, the god known as the undefeated assassin?" Zoe continued in surprise and excitement, "it's the god that developed Victoria's powder." Her invention changed a lot of things. Hmmm......"
"Yes, that's my lover," Andrew frowned, "but now is not the time to dwell on that. ”
"And she was once the second leader of the 'Undefeated Alliance', and it is said that she became a magic rose tree, but I didn't expect her to be alive. She has done a lot for Shennuo. A goddess heroine worthy of respect. Iris said what she wrote in the book "Magical Potions".
"It turns out that you also read this book in the library of His Highness Lolaika. Zoe stared at Iris and smiled.
"It's good, she's alive, she's my idol too, and it's a surprise for us Kano. But we have to find a way to get rid of them. Look at Andrew, he must be in a hurry. Moreover, we can't study any books and records here. Wei Zheng said.
"The zombies outside the door are so noisy, will they break in?" Dylan couldn't hold back and walked over to Gudo's room. Unexpectedly, he also piled a few wooden chairs on the table to reinforce the door.
"Brother, don't do that!" Glori took two steps forward, stopping Dylan.
