Haryat leaned over to look at the small hole and shook his head.

"The only ones who can get in are mice. He said sarcastically.

"Not all drains are the same size. Novi had to explain, "They come in different sizes to suit different needs. A building like this also needs ventilation ducts to keep the air circulating, as it doesn't have window ......"

He discovered that the building was actually more like a fortress, perhaps used to temporarily defend against orc armies that might break through the gates, hence the exceptionally strong gates. The many rooms could normally be used for young warriors in training, as well as for citizens and materials—but it would also likely have a secret passage leading to the outside world, or even to the wilderness beyond the city.

"So, the elves will hide too...... And escape?"

Norvi paused, not knowing how to answer such a question, but Khaliat's voice sounded just pure curiosity, not malicious intent.

"Elves and humans...... Not much different. Eventually, he whispered, "We may have a longer history, a longer life, a sharper sense, but we will also be happy, we will be afraid, we will be sad, we will fight, we will bleed, we will die...... Mistakes will be made. ”

The shadow of the remains in the Tower of Atonement flickered before his eyes, and he hoped that at least it hanging in mid-air would not respond to the necromancer's call and lay there quietly.

He warned himself to shake off that low mood and made a little joke: "Look, at least in appearance, we look more similar than the dwarves, don't we?"

Harriat snorted. The elf in front of him has a certain aura of tranquility and peace that seems to be born with it, and it is gentle and polite, which is really hard to hate.

"Those stone heads!" he said, his tone less stiff, "we don't have to tear down this city to build a temple, but the best stone is in the Silver Tooth Mountains, and we don't know where to knock so that the dwarves don't jump out and slam at us and say we want to smash through their pits." ”

- Their pit has been smashed through.

The elf said silently in his heart.

"You can use the materials in this city - the elves abandoned it more than a thousand years ago, and I guess it's a little late to come back and claim sovereignty. Norvi's smile was a little bitter, "Maybe it's better to build a temple than to be silently buried here by the grass...... Of course, I still hope that you will try to keep it intact as much as possible......"

"Hmm...... I think the rocks that have fallen are enough for us. Khaliat said.

They turned sideways, letting the weeping and shouting goblins squeeze past them. Of course, these goblins can't stay in the hall with humans. Although he didn't have any great strength and was still wearing chains, the goblins looked like they were crazy...... Novi didn't want to face it again at all.

They will be housed in a room close to the hall. Even if the Anktann people didn't care about the lives of goblins, and didn't want them to die in the dark and become goblin undead or something, it was terrifying and ridiculous to think about it.

Risek frowned and squeezed past the goblins from the other direction, hurriing towards them.

"Bad news. He got straight to the point and said, "Eleanor is dead...... Stabbed in the heart. ”

“...... What about that kid?"

Hoan Shaw...... He's missing. And Gloria, I asked, no one had seen her in a while. Risek's face was ugly: "They may have been taken away by the necromancer......"

"Or maybe they're necromancers. Norway said.

“...... Women and children will also be necromancers?" asked Khaliat, surprised.

"I don't know if teenage humans are skilled enough to master any spells, but I do know that there is a very powerful necromancer who is a very beautiful woman. ”

"But he looks ......," Risek did not finish.

"He's not your brother, friend. Khaliat sighed, "And we really don't know anything about him." ”

"We have to do it as soon as possible, no matter who it is...... Maybe you haven't had time to get out of here yet. Norway turned his gaze to the darkness.

Risek nodded: "I'll take someone to start the search from the other side." ”

"Let Filly, or the priest, take it. "They know how to deal with necromancers." You'd better have one of you stay in the hall......"

Risek understood what he meant: "I'll go and arrange it." Should you also bring a priest?"

Harryat looked at the elf.

"I'm resistant to spells like mind control," Noway said...... "I'm also good at keeping people from having time to cast any spells." "His self-confidence seems to be innate, and it doesn't make people feel arrogant.

"That's enough. Naturally, Haliart believed him. Risek turned and ran down the hall.

Haryat turned his head and noticed that the two young men who had been following them were a little pale, and they had heard everything.

“...... There's nothing to be afraid of, you're all warriors of Nethers. He stretched out his arms and hugged their necks hard, "We'll go home together." But for now, let's find out about that bastard first!".

Tess held her chin and looked at the door.

"It won't last long. She said.

Her voice wasn't loud, but Naria had heard it.

“...... It doesn't look like it's going to be smashed. "It was true that the two doors and the latch were still sturdy, though they were shaking harder.

Tess shook her head: "The door may hold up for a while, but the loose leaf that fastens the door to the door frame will not work, I can hear it, they are too rusty...... It's strange, isn't it? After more than a thousand years, the wood is still hard, but the metal is not. ”

Naria stood up.

"We've got to figure it out!" she said, looking around.

"No way. There's nothing to hold up the door here. Tess was still holding her chin motionless.

"We can at least warn these people!" Naria kicked Fili, who was slumped against the wall, "Did you hear that?"

"Listen. "But if I tell these people, it probably won't end well......

As Risek's figure hurried down the hallway, he jumped to his feet.

"Something......"

"I have to ......"

They spoke almost at the same time.

"The door is going to collapse. Filly said bluntly.

“...... Hoan Shaw may be a necromancer. Risek's face turned pale, "He's missing, the woman in his room is dead." ”

"Wonderful day. Tess said lazily, "Every moment is full of surprises...... Can I give me a round of applause?"

"Ed ...... Will he ...... too," Narya asked worriedly.

"Eric followed him, and one Hoan Shaw couldn't have dealt with both of them, and he didn't even leave a trace. That's all Fili could do to comfort her.

"More than one...... There is also a woman who is missing. "Khaliat and the elves are looking for someone to enter the hallway from the other side, but this door is ......" he turned his head to look at the door, his brow furrowed, "I was worried about this before." ”

"I'll go find it. Filly said knowingly, "Give me two."

"We can also help if you need it. Naria said.

The refusal almost blurted out, but Risek realized that the two women in front of him had broken through the encirclement of the undead outside, and they were by no means weak.

"Maybe you can tell us what to do with those skeletons. He reversed his words.

"Poke your eyes!" Tess, who had been a little sullen since Norvi left, finally regained some vitality, and she jumped up, the dagger in her hand glistening coldly, "If you don't have such a weapon with magic attached to it, then cut off your head." And these fires around us," she pouted, "little skeletons are cute, prepare them more." ”

"The good news is that those skeletons don't give out that kind of ...... It's like a sound that goes straight into your head and scares you so much that you just want to run away. Naria said,

"Protect the priest and give him time to cast spells to purify the undead, otherwise as long as the necromancer doesn't die, those skeletons will keep getting up, and beheading can only stop them temporarily. Filly added.

"I don't want to discourage your faith, but you better understand that there are too many undead creatures out there, and it will be difficult for me to purify them completely. Nigel, who was sitting on the ground, spoke lightly.

"We will fight to the end. Risek said firmly. He turned and strode into the crowd, and began to make those who were near the gate retreat, to gather the fire between the gate and the crowd, and to prepare all those who were armed, mostly hunters from Cantril, to fight.

Realizing that they would eventually face a battle with the horrible undead, there was a moment of panic in the crowd, and Risek succeeded in stirring up the fighting spirit of the Anktans in a different way than the Harryat.

"You are men of Anktan, you have faced the beasts of the forest and the barbarians from the ice fields, why should you be afraid of monsters that don't even have souls? Don't tell me you're not as good as that little red-haired woman!"

In the direction he was pointing, the little red-haired Tess waved happily at everyone.

"Nesses will not bestow strength and glory on the cowardly, let him see your courage!" Risek roared.

The crowd responded and then began to get busy. There was still some confusion, but at least, people were getting ready to fight, not to flee or just kneel and pray.

"Akhan!" Tess jumped onto the big man, holding his head and shaking him vigorously, "Hear me?
