vs 14 Unexpected
Darek Danny hated the darkness of the moment, and ever since he had been ordered to be the commander of a defensive post on the front line of the garrison west of the city, he had hated it even more and more, which had been deliberately created by the undead legions.
In the official residence of Fipert Bob, this dark environment is particularly prominent at this moment, stepping into this official residence surrounded by mist, it is like entering another world, the scorching sun hanging high in the sky becomes blood red as if it can seep blood, and the cold wind blowing back and forth seems to be as cold as a winter day, so that Darick Denny, who is wearing light armor, can't help but shiver.
What's even more unbearable is the rancid smell and gore here, as well as the hellish scene in front of you. Darek Danny, who was in the middle of the courtyard, was surprised by what he saw at the moment, or shocked by what he saw...
In the faint light, the blood was full of stumps and severed arms, and the corpses of hundreds of ghouls were lying in pools of blood, and the evil energy had left them. Judging from the mutilated bodies of the fallen ghouls and their location, it seems that they have been slashed from behind with a sharp blade in a very strange environment.
"What's going on?" asked Darick, grabbing the officer who was directing the removal of the ghoul's corpse on the scene.
"Sir, that's how we came in. The officer shook his head.
Darek Danri raised his eyebrows and stood in place to think for a while, then looked at the gate of the villa looming in the dim environment in the distance, raised his foot and walked quickly.
As soon as he entered the hall, Darik Danny smelled a rancid smell ten times more than the stench of the takeaway hall, and more ghoul corpses were imprinted on his eyes at the same time, and his stomach was tumbling with a blood-red color like a nightmare.
"Click" Derick Danny couldn't help but take two steps forward, trying to see everything in the hall more clearly, but the sound from under his feet made him stop and look around the hall carefully...
The hall, which was originally familiar to Darick Danny, was now all blood-red, and the blood on the stairs surrounding the stone pillars was still flowing, reflected by the soldiers' torches next to it. Blood dripping from the ceiling overhead landed on the floor in an eerie "ticking" sound that made everyone who had just entered the hall feel creepy.
There were more ghoul corpses in the hall, but more of them were the ugly faces of the infected, and the guards who had lost their evil powers and collapsed in pools of blood. At this moment, a squad of soldiers, under the protection of the magic device on their bodies, carefully cleaned up everything here.
"Sir, Chief Minnie is waiting for you upstairs. β
Darek Danny recovered from his momentary shock and surprise, and was about to go any deeper, when he was greeted by a soldier who had wrapped himself in heavy armor.
"Lead the way. Darek Danny tightened his light armor, and a peculiar cold sensation in the hall made it even worse... It was a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
"Smack... Bang..."The group made an uncomfortable noise as they walked across the hall and stepped on the blood-soaked floor, following the soldiers leading the way to the second floor.
During this period, three mages in light armor quickly ran down from the second floor under the protection of two teams of soldiers, and their movements were a little hurried.
The environment on the second floor was even darker, making Darik feel as if he was being blindfolded by something. Fortunately, however, there was a group of soldiers holding torches to illuminate the corridor. Darek Danny's five paladins were also here, and they immediately greeted Darek Danny as he walked into the second-floor hallway.
Derick Danny tried to get useful information from the five paladins, so he couldn't wait to ask, "What the hell is going on?"
"We didn't know that this was the case when Lord Minnie rushed in with us, and the undead in this villa were all scrapped before we even entered... However, the Altar of Evil still exists, and it's in a room in front of it. "Esek, the captain of the Paladins, a typical highlander, held the hammer to his shoulder, and answered Derick Danny's question while scratching the beard of his jaw with his hand.
"That's the room. Another paladin showed Darek Danny the way.
Darek Danny looked in the direction the paladins were pointing, and in the dim light and crimson blood, he vaguely remembered that the room was Fippold Bob's study, and the largest room on the second floor.
"There's no one else in there, just the mages building the magic that destroys the altar inside, but... I think it's possible that Fipott Bob is in there too... However, Chief Minnie wouldn't let us in, she only allowed you to go in person. Essec put his hammer on the ground, looked at his master and whispered, "We still have some explosives, do you want to...", and no one heard his last words.
"I'm sure Director Minnie wouldn't do anything irrational. Derick Danny suddenly smiled and commanded, "You guys are just outside and watching, I'll go in and have a look." β
With that, Darek Danny walked towards the apparently cleaned gate, where the two guards looked at Darik Danny, one of whom took a sachet from the closed pouch and said, "Sir, believe me, you're going to need this. β
"The sachet made by the elves, this is a good thing, it couldn't be bought with money before. Darick Danny took it in his hand and smiled.
"But now you don't need money to get it. After the soldier who opened the door made a little joke, the closed door had already been pushed open by him.
The moment the door opened, the first thing Darick Danny felt was a biting cold wind like a cold winter wind, followed by the rancid smell that made him subconsciously bend down and retch, and at the same time, the more powerful evil power began to erode his brain, instantly crushing the holy power protection on his body.
Just as Darek Danny was about to fall asleep, a cool sensation and a faint fragrance came from his nostrils, and he immediately shook his spirits, and he also woke up from the confusion.
"The evil energy here has reached the threshold of the living, and the sachets made by the elves are full of vitality. Minnie Vatu's indifferent voice rang in Derick Danny's ears after he woke up.
"I didn't expect it to be like this. Darek Danny grabbed the sachet and put it under his nose and raised his eyelids to look, the study that had been very well lit was now dim as if it was night, and the magic circles on the five or six mages in light armor flickered at the same time, and quickly sketched on the surrounding walls and floors that he couldn't understand the complex magic circles.
In the middle of the room, there was a large circular altar with a metallic texture, and on the altar was a strange statue with a body that had no regular pattern at all, and the image of a devouring monster, with a very ugly mouth and a wide-open head at the top.
This monster is not a living creature, it is also a statue carved from metal, but it is covered with intricate patterns that seem to be half alive and will constantly twist with the human gaze, making the hearts of those who stare at it terrified.
This mansion seems to have a steady stream of blood, which is constantly pouring out of the mouth of this statue.
When Darick Denny's eyes fell on the statue, his mind was immediately attracted by the disordered patterns on his body, and when he saw the blood splattered like a fountain, he couldn't help but subconsciously ask, "Is this blood?"
"It should be!"
"There's so much blood there?" said Derick Danny's back as he asked the words, and a chill in his back invisibly hit his spinal cord, making his body tremble uncontrollably.
Minnie-Vatu explained, "Have you forgotten that the city had just gone through a great battle? The mages told me that there was a necromancer who collected the blood through some secret method and performed the sacrifice. β
"Is it Fippott Bob?" said Darik Danny gritted his teeth, a moment he didn't know what to do.
"You come with meβ" Minnie Vatu did not answer him, and now the female MI2 officer was clearly not in a good mood. As she spoke, she pointed to the dark corner on the other side of the study, and walked briskly towards the place she was pointing.
Minnie Vatu walked fast, and when Darik Danny was stunned, he was about to disappear into the fog in the room, and Darek Danny had to grit his teeth and follow. Minnie Vatu takes Derick Danny to the corner of the study near the window and flips a switch on the corner.
The sound of "clucking" metal gears staggering in the silence gave Darek Danny a special feeling, as if someone was hammering him in the heart with a hammer.
But at this time, Derick Danny did not have time to pay attention to the annoyance in his heart, because the closed wall was slowly detaching, and a secret door was detached from the wall in the sound of cogs. The light, which is completely different from the dim light in the study, is cast when the door opens...
Soon, this intense light became more and more abundant, and the door was completely opened.
The strong light made Daric Danny, who had not used to it, squint, and his eyes slowly reflected a bright room, a person he knew more than he knew could be more than sitting on the sofa in the middle of the room, this person holding a steaming cup of tea in his hand, two cups full of tea on the coffee table in front of him were quietly placed, and an empty sofa was placed on each side of the coffee table.
The owner of this room was clearly waiting for his friend to arrive, and now his friend had apparently arrived.
"Come in, my friend. Fipert-Bob pointed to the couches to his left and right, "I'm glad you're here, come and sit." He didn't panic at all, and the smile on his face was as if he really welcomed his friend.
Minnie Vatu did not hesitate at all, Derick Danny looked at Minnie Vatu's back, subconsciously grabbed the hilt of the saber at his waist, hesitated for a few seconds and then followed Minnie Vatu's steps into the threshold.
The room was very warm, a bit of stark contrast to the outside, and after entering the room, Darek Danny found that the floor and walls of this room were outlined with magic runes with purple gold powder, and near the door, there were even holy power inscriptions emitting a golden halo, dispelling the evil energy that wanted to erode in.
When the two of them stepped into the room, the blood stains on their feet and bodies were broken down by an invisible force, and soon dissipated into the air like powder.
"I didn't expect that we would meet again in such an environment. Fippert Bob looked at Darik Danny and smiled, "How's it going, my friend." β
"Do you think you'll see me again at my funeral?" Derick Danny smiled as he unsheathed his saber and sat down on the couch, then slapped it on the coffee table and said, "Lately, I've been thinking about how to save my life. β
"Do you think of anything now?"
"Of course, but I'll have to kill you first!" said Darik Danny, grinning and smiling merrily.
"Haha!" Fippott-Bob also laughed happily.
Minnie Vartu stood next to the couch and lifted her visor-worn helmet and expertly unfastened the buckles under her armpits and waist from her heavy armor. As the heavy armor slammed against the floor, both Fipott Bob and Derick Danny shifted their gaze away and stopped laughing.
Derick Danny's gaze only stayed on Minnie Vartu for a moment, then he turned to look at Fippert Bob and asked, "Were all those undead legion monsters in the courtyard and hall killed by you?"
"They want to give me eternal life, and I want to completely 'immortalize' their souls!" Fipott-Bob leaned forward slightly, lifted the lid of the cigar box on the coffee table, and said, "Although the Bob family is not a great old family, nor does it have a commendable ancient bloodline, I will not believe in the so-called 'death force', because I am a living person, a living person who can breathe. β
"So, why are you doing this?" Derick Danny pointed in the direction he had just walked over, "it turns out that you've been messed up with those ugly monsters... Although you helped us at the last minute, it still doesn't change the fact that you betrayed us. β
"The relationship between me and the Undead Legion is just a simple cooperation, and it's just a cooperation. Fippott-Bob gave each of them a cigar.
"Can the Undead Legion still cooperate?" Minnie Vatu had a deep puzzle on her face.
"They thought I was going to join them, but I never had the intention of doing so. Fipott-Bob chuckled under his breath.
"Whose orders are you taking from Crewe?" Derick Danny stared at his old friend with a scrutinizing gaze, while Minnie Vatu frowned and thought about her own question.
Fipott Bob smiled and didn't answer Darik Danny's question, tilted his head to light a cigar on the coffee table candle stand, took a few puffs, and said, "I'm taking orders from Suke City. β
