"From here, I remember there was a suspension bridge." Hadava pointed deeper into the fortress, where they had been around for at least half an hour.

Even a clerk can't remember such a complex and mysterious, labyrinthine terrain. God knows what the previous lords had in mind when they expanded the base of the fortress like the ruins of the Void. Fortunately, they're not avid dwarven tech enthusiasts. Hadava had heard that there was sometimes something called the Dwarven Siege Ballista in the Meditation and the Castle. Able to take out an entire team of heavily armored knights without much effort.

But even so, the forks in the road along the way made them suffer. One of them was so highly concealed that even Roy didn't find the pegboard that almost killed Hadava. If Alice hadn't blocked him with that striped shield, he would probably have had to find a torturer to get him moving.

Rao was so, the striped round shield, which was so well made that it was regarded as a treasure by its former owner, was also severely damaged. It's almost breathable! However, Alice, who was hiding behind the shield and was almost hit by the full force of the mechanism, did not seem to have any problems at all.

This little girl is not injured at all!

"Nok Natur is on top, you really aren't the thieves?" Roy had already said this to Alice at least three times. The girl almost couldn't help but give him a sword.

However, a sudden collapse allowed him to escape. A stone pillar fell from the height of at least a hundred giants stacked on top of each other. smashed the messy passage paths underground. In the midst of the confusion, Alice casually pointed in a direction.

Then they walked out of the labyrinth and returned to the right path that Hadava knew.

So Roy emphasized it again.

"If you say it again, I'll send you to see your Nocna Tour!" Alice turned her head and said viciously.

"Uh...... Okay, okay. Roy smiled helplessly. But in my heart, I made up my mind to follow this lucky girl.

For some reason, Roy realizes that his luck is terrible, and he is getting worse by the day. It's like stealing a bulging wallet full of IOUs. It's more about figuring out an open rat trap/frost venom straight from inside.

Delvin said it was a curse, and Roy didn't believe it. But when he was caught for that ridiculous reason, he witnessed the guild members who were supposed to rescue him be hit the esophagus with precision by a large bird flying through mid-air. He couldn't believe it.

Before the execution, he also saw a poor horse thief killed by a bow and arrow. Roy dared to swear to the sky with his own eyes, that arrow was definitely missed! But the thief actually stepped on a piece of cabbage without dying!

Which thief had done such an outrageous thing that Nock Natur was so angry? Roy vows to let him know who it is, and give him a taste of the crossbow pop. Even if that person is Mercer Frey, who is in the union venue, he will not hesitate!

However, the most important thing now is to get out first......

"Hey! Guys, here we are. ”

After passing through a semi-natural passage, the eyes of the three of them suddenly opened up.

"Wow~ It's so beautiful." Alice couldn't help but exclaim.

What appeared before her eyes was a huge underground canyon. There is only a lone suspension bridge between the hundreds of paces of the abyss. A large hollow can be seen faintly on the opposite side.

Both sides of the canyon are dotted with luminescent minerals. In the dim environment, it is like the stars in the night sky. Occasionally, faint traces of carving can be seen. It seems that this was a thriving mine a long time ago, and it is unknown why it was abandoned.

"I can finally breathe normally. The air here is not bad. Hadava blew out the torch in his hand and said with a comfortable expression. The wind whined in the canyon, making him feel cool.

"This road has not been walked recently, as long as we pass it, it should be safe." Roy touched the suspension bridge, and the ash on it was evenly distributed.

The suspension bridge also looks sturdy, and it doesn't wobble when the wind blows through it. The wooden planks that serve as the bridge also look sturdy.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go."

The three of them did not hesitate any longer. Trotted all the way across the suspension bridge.

"It's not logical." On the other side of the canyon. Roy suddenly let out such an exclamation.

"What?" Hadava drew his sword, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Roy flicked his fingers and wound the crossbow. He licked his tongue and whispered, "I remember that in knight novels, there are always some strange things that happen when the protagonist crosses the suspension bridge......

At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in the cave in front of them.

"You crow's mouth!" Alice let out a high-pitched cry, raised her shield and rushed forward!

"Imperials! Ambush! The Storm Cloak was stunned for a moment, then drew his sword and slashed at Alice. And a few rebels behind him raised their short bows and shot!

"Kill the archers first!" Hadava threw it hard, and the whirling shield struck the storm cloak at the front. Then Alice raised her shield and stabbed the archer behind him with a single sword!

Then, a long arrow was fired into Alice's shoulder. Under the close firing, the girl's shoulder armor was directly lifted, and a blood mark appeared. But Alice shrank down from under the storm cloak she had stabbed to death, and her right hand let go of her sword, drawing the dagger from the archer's waist and tumbling forward.

Before the girl could get up, a two-handed axe slammed into the place where she had been standing. A bolt then fires out of Roy's crossbow. Straight into the right eye of the other archer.

"There are only three of them! Kill that woman first! The man with the long sword only glanced at it and judged the current shape. Two sword and shield men, one without a shield and one without a sword, and the clumsy crossbowman had to take at least five breaths to wind well. And there are still four people on my side!

He raised his sword and blocked Hadava's slash. The heavy axe then struck Hadava back, and the two looked at each other before outflanking him. At the same time, the swordsman did not forget to throw a dagger at Roy. Suddenly, the dark elves were in a hurry. Halfway up the bolt also fell to the ground.

Hadava roared again and again, and the long sword in his hand danced with a tiger. But he lost his shield and wore light leather armor. Facing two opponents with similar strength and long weapons is really overwhelming. For a while, it fell into disadvantage.

And Alice was even more wolf at this time, and the two light hammer hands almost forced her to breathe. can only rely on the round shield left and right, occasionally stabbing a sword, but can't get close. The lethality of the dagger is really not exerted.

Suddenly, a light hammer man scrambled and seemed to be a little unsteady.

Opportunity!

Alice's eyes lit up, and she rushed at the man, and the dagger in her hand was about to be stabbed!

"You've been fooled! Empire Bitch!! ”

A strong force came from the shield in the girl's left hand. Then the entire striped round shield exploded into dozens of fragments of various sizes, flying everywhere. The mace continued unabated, and even shattered the bracer of Alice's left hand! And the other hammer strode to catch up, and the mace in his hand was raised high, and he was about to smash Alice into minced flesh with his hands!

Am I going to die?

Alice looked up, and time seemed to slow down. His body, which had lost its center of gravity, was leaning to the right, and the mace in the Storm Cloak's hand was about to fall.

Layer by layer, the air is torn apart by a huge potential energy. It turns into a circle that slowly expands outward.

However, at this time, Alice's heart was silent.

I should be afraid, but why? He was about to smash my head, but he didn't feel it at all.

Is there a way for me to live? Do I still have the power to turn things around?

Her pupils suddenly shrank, and a faint vertical line opened from them. Then a recent memory exploded in his mind, turning into countless arcane runes.

This is not a power that mortals possess! This is not a bloodline that mortals can have!

The blood flowed backwards, and a new force swam between the girl's limbs and bones, passing through the veins of qi. Finally converged on Alice's outstretched left hand!

This is...... Flame!

The flames erupting from the girl's palms were so hot that even the finest steel maces melted with them. The Hammerman's head melted into a charred skeleton at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye!

Alice stood, and the dagger in her right hand stabbed into his jaw along the leather armor of the other hammer hand. Then there was a hard reaming!

"Roy !!"

A crossbow bolt came and pierced the heavy axeman's neck. Alice then stepped forward and, together with Hadava, slashed the remaining swordsmen into several pieces.

"Well done," Hadava said in amazement, looking at Alice. "There aren't many people who are proficient in swordsmanship and have a few hands of magic. How did you get caught? Someone like you must be famous at this age. ”

He looked at Alice curiously, as if he were looking at some rare treasure.

"You must have an extremely good bloodline, maybe some branch of the royal family. Maybe there's still dragon's blood. Ha! ”

"I don't know......" Alice shook her head. The blue eyes were empty, "It's just that all of a sudden......"

"In this world, there are always some geniuses beyond imagination." Roy took care of his crossbow. Swapped out of these storm cloaks. "If I hadn't known her, I'd have thought you were someone else, after all, you're so close in age and so similar in size."

He looked at the two hammer hands, one of his head was burned black, and the other had his face split into two equal parts. "It's a similar style." The Dark Elf added.

"Who is she? What is your name? Alice asked curiously.

"Lilith, a Nord woman." Roy paused, "You wouldn't want to see her, never." ”
