Act XXXI

"Are you crazy?"

Davos's face turned a little blue, and his original drunken appearance was gone, replaced by a rather excited expression. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Rosen and the others quickly contacted Davos, who was on standby in the mansion.

As soon as he heard Jerome's words, he took a few steps back, seemingly unsteady on his feet.

Isaiah was on the sidelines, and the situation didn't seem to be beyond his expectations, or perhaps he wasn't panicking.

"The shallow sea during the Great Storm is comparable to the most dangerous Endless Void, and you still want to chase those Hot Wind Mercenary Group guys, I really don't know if you're drunk or I'm drunk!"

Davos waved his hand, avoiding Rosen and the others as if he had seen some madman.

"You know the shortcuts. ”

Rosen didn't try to persuade the other party, he has always been bad at words.

"Mr. Davos was a mercenary known as the 'Shallow Sea Twin Swords' many years ago, and I heard that you once went deep into the capital of sin?"

Isaiah said on the sidelines, apparently investigating Davos.

“...... Yes, I have been in the capital of sin, but at the same time I have paid the price. ”

Davos raised his left hand, and the missing first knuckles of the little and ring fingers were telling the story of the tragic past.

"In addition, don't mention the name 'Shallow Sea Twin Swords' anymore, after all, another person has been lying in the depths of the capital of sin and karma forever. ”

He spoke, as if recalling something.

"Once, about ten years ago, my friend and I, German Lorian, were indeed among the best mercenaries in this desert, and we had known names like the 'Shallow Sea Twin Swords', but that was in the past. ”

Rosen could roughly guess what Davos had experienced, and the mercenary's eyes showed a sense of helplessness.

"We were young, powerful, and confident in ourselves, and the capital of crime has always been one of the ultimate goals of the mercenaries, and countless treasures are lying there waiting for the strong to discover, so the two of us are working this goal. ”

Davos smiled, as if to laugh at his youthful frivolity.

"Finally, ten years ago, we managed to find the safest way to the capital of sin, took our weapons and stepped into that lonely city in the desert, but after entering, we realized that all the treasures and riches are lies, and that the capital of sinful karma has only endless monsters. ”

Thinking of the reason for the destruction of the City of Sin, Rosen guessed that even if those so-called treasures were not destroyed when the People of Chaos came, they would be cleaned up when the Rainbow Tower and the Sanctuary sealed the city in the future.

"Of course, we didn't retreat directly, but chose to go deep into the city, we believe that after so many years of sweeping on the outskirts of the city, there will naturally be nothing of value left, so we are targeting the deepest part of the capital of sinful karma. ”

As he spoke, Davos closed his eyes.

"But in the deepest part of the world, we saw not a treasure, but the deepest fear, the gaze from the abyss, I lost two fingers, and German was swallowed up by the endless void to cover me, and I escaped, and for three years I did not dare to set foot in the shallow sea again, and until now, I have no intention of going there again. ”

"But if we don't stop those people, even this Ishtar will be destroyed in a great storm, and you don't care about the tens of thousands of lives?"

Tia said, her language sharp and unrelenting.

“...... I should have died in the capital of sinful karma ten years ago, and there is no point in you telling me this now. ”

Davos smiled wryly, and he paused before continuing to speak.

"But Viscount Faramir has been gracious to me, and if it is to save his city, I can help. ”

"Really?"

Jerome showed a worried look, if it was really like Davos said, then the inside of the City of Karma was undoubtedly quite dangerous, and the Heat Wind Mercenary Group dared to go deep because they had defensive means, but they didn't.

"Back then, I almost died in the shallow sea after escaping from the capital of sin, but I was rescued by Viscount Faramir, and before I could repay the favor, the Viscount died, and now, it is time to repay this kindness. ”

Davos shook his head, then stood up.

"But you must know that the capital of sinful karma is ten thousand times more dangerous than this shallow sea, even if it is a bronze rank, it is very likely to be trapped and die there, and the monsters inside the capital of sinful karma cannot be explained by common sense...... Prepare ye for the worst. ”

"Don't worry. ”

Tia pouted, she still didn't seem to be in a hurry, even though the sky in Istar was already pitch black and the storm outside was gradually eroding the city.

"Then let's go, before the storm destroys this place. ”

Davos took one last sip and raised his sword.

"Jerome and Mr. Isaiah, please work with the Iron Wolf Guards to keep the city safe and calm the townspeople. ”

Rosen added, and then kept up with Davos's departure.

The three of them soon came to a hidden alley.

"Is the so-called shortcut from under the desert?"

Rosen asked, he really couldn't think of any way to get around the storm, and he was even more puzzled when he saw where Davos had led them.

"Of course not. ”

Davos spoke, silently counting the masonry on the wall at the end of the dead end, and finally stopped at the eleventh piece.

"I think you should know that Istar is actually a city made up of broken planes, in other words, Istar can connect to other locations as well. ”

He tapped the brick in a peculiar rhythm, and then, in front of Rosen's eyes, the original dead end was opened little by little, revealing a dark path.

"This is one of the many secret passages in Istar that lead directly to the edge of the capital of sin, but it is winding underneath, and ordinary people may not be able to get out of it for more than ten years to enter it. ”

As he spoke, Davos lit his own sparkling crystal, which provided light for a long time, was more portable than a torch, and was naturally expensive.

"But Geman and I once got a map, and with that map, we've figured out this secret passage, and if it goes well, we'll be able to reach the capital of sin in less than a quarter of an hour. ”

The dimly lit passages are illuminated by glittering crystals, revealing an ancient sight.

However, if you look closely, you can see that there seem to be fresh footprints left here.

"It seems that the people of the Hot Wind Mercenary Regiment also travel between the capital of sin and Ishar through here. ”

Rosen looked at Davos and speculated.

"Chances are, if you look at the entrance to the capital of sin, the entrance is quite conspicuous, and if powerful people spend time fumbling around, it won't be difficult to find the way. ”

Davos no longer had the original drunken appearance at this time, but a serious expression.

"If we're fast, we might be able to catch up with them. ”

Looking down at the dirt around the footprints, Rosen said.

Although it is difficult to chase the people of the Hot Wind Mercenary Group in the intricate passages, it is not completely impossible to use his and Tia's powerful perceptions.

"Without further ado, let's go. ”
