Chapter 47: In the Wall
Brooke the little devil led the two of us out of the vault and walked straight to the base of the Cross Wall, pulling out a passage entrance in a rocky field that looked panicked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info We followed him in, only to find that it was a long and narrow staircase spiraling up, and there was no end in sight, and I thought this was the passage to the wall.
We went all the way up, and the little devil repeatedly told us not to mess around. It was obvious from the tone of his voice that he was also quite nervous, but what was he nervous about?
I asked, "Brie, what's on top of the cross wall?" ”
The little devil suddenly stopped, turned around, and his expression was a little solemn: "I don't know." ”
"You don't know?" I was skeptical of his claim, and asked tentatively, "But didn't you build this wall?" ”
The little devil's Adam's apple moved, and it could be seen that he was a little emotional, but in the end he was suppressed by him. He turned around and continued to move upwards as he spoke, "I'm nothing more than the weakest of the mid-level demons, the lowest being in Evener City. There are high demons above us. They drove us to build this cross wall. Didn't you notice that the city is inhabited by medium demons? The High Demons dwell within this wall. Lower and middle demons weren't allowed here, so we wouldn't know what was up there. ”
So that's what happened! No wonder the other demons reacted like that when the little devil said he was going to take us into the cross wall, it turned out that he had already broken the taboo by bringing us up.
After listening to Brie's narration, I suddenly felt that it was not easy for a demon like them to survive.
The little demon seemed to see through my doubts, and said slowly, "Our demon clan has been divided into ranks from the moment we were born. Like I'm a mid-level demon, then I'll always be a mid-level demon, and there's no possibility of leveling up. We are the hardest living level of demons. The lower demons live in caves outside the city, acting only on instinct, and can survive as long as they can find something to eat. And what about us? Not only do we have to build a city under the drive of a high demon and bear most of the labor, but we also need souls to live, but we can't directly snatch the souls of living beings, we can only let the other party exchange in the form of a contract, which is originally an equivalent exchange process, and I don't know why human beings feel that they have suffered a loss. But our ability is very weak, and we can't fulfill everyone's wishes, it's not what you call deception, we are trying very hard to fulfill the wishes of the contractor every time, but not every time we can do it. But do you think we want that? Falling marks on the body often stinging and uncomfortable. I know that other races despise us and loathe us. But I have to say that only demons are the most direct and pure. We will not cheat each other, and we will do our best to fulfill the promise. And what about you? Human hypocrisy and ignorance, gods arrogance, undead mania and a whole bunch of bad tempers in life, who can be as straightforward and straightforward as we are? ”
The little devil's words made me speechless for a moment, and I didn't know what to say. For the first time, I began to think from the perspective of other races, and it seems that it is not only human beings, but also everyone who lives an easy life.
The little devil stopped suddenly. Through his figure, I vaguely saw a huge iron door appear in front of me, the door was half-hidden, and I could faintly see the light coming from inside, and above us, there were no stairs to walk.
The little demon cautiously tiptoed to beckon us to approach the iron gate, and whispered: "From here, the area of the high demon is inside, after passing through this area, continue to go up and go east, you should be able to reach the upper level of this wall, if you want to go to the top, you must go out through the dark window on the wall, there is no direct road." ”
I nodded, and the wall suddenly began to shake violently, and a large amount of sand and gravel fell from my head. I helped Onilla to her feet, a little surprised, "What's wrong?" ”
The little devil staggered to his feet, without a trace of panic, and said with a calm expression: "What's wrong?" Isn't it the guys out there who attacked Evenerg City? The big guy must have caused the impact just now, and it looks like the hard cross wall is about to be breached. ”
I saw that his face was calm, as if he was very accustomed to this situation, and suddenly had doubts in my heart, so I asked, "Then these creatures are attacking here like this, and those high-level demons don't fight back at all?" Let them go on like this? ”
The little devil sighed and said, "You should also see that the demon is self-interested and doesn't think too much about the interests of the collective. As long as most of the things that have nothing to do with them are not concerned, they will not care whether we live or die. Moreover, the number of high-level demons is already small, and most of them don't like to stay in Evenger, so there are even fewer who can come out to fight. Besides, we demons vary greatly in appearance according to their rank, and they don't treat us as companions very much. It's not the first time they've encountered such a thing, and more of them will just stay on their own, and these attacks won't hurt them anyway. ”
I heard him say that this was not the first time, and I thought that he might know why this happened to Dodro, so I asked, "Isn't this the first time you said this happened?" So why are they attacking here? ”
The little demon continued: "You don't understand, although Ivanger is in the underground world, there is definitely more than our demon side in the underground. Not far from Evenerg to the east is the Barren Forest, which contains many dark creatures, most of them are dull in color, the ones that are now outside. Beyond the barren forest is the colony of the undead, what you call the Night Land. The feud and entanglement between our demons and the undead cannot be explained in a few words. You just need to understand that underground resources are extremely scarce, and we also need to compete for territory with other races, and situations like this happen outside now, and we sometimes run to the barren forest to grab territory, and we are used to it. But this time the situation seemed to be more serious, the huge creature outside had never been seen before, and there had never been a time before that it had been so tragic as it was today. ”
I endured the loud noise of the impact and worried about whether the wall would suddenly collapse. The little devil seemed to think of something again, and suddenly asked us to go in a different direction.
I asked him what was wrong, and his expression began to become a little panicked and his body began to shake. "I can't take you with me for the rest of the road, I'm worried that if I go any further, I won't be able to go back......"
I noticed that the situation seemed to have changed, and quickly asked him what was going on.
The little devil's body was a little stiff, and it could be seen that he was quite nervous. He said: "In the past, such things often happen, most of them are low-level demons and barren forests, and the undead rarely make a move, but this time I feel that the undead are also entangled, and those dead creatures outside are obviously driven by the undead, and those who are interested in Evener City and have the ability to control an undead army of this size, I can only think of one person." He must have been coming towards the west side of the cross wall, and the only way to the top of the wall was from the west. We felt that we couldn't touch him, otherwise we would never be able to get out. ”
Listening to his words, Onila was a little anxious: "But the hornbell shows that the rand is on the west side, and if you can't go there, there is no point." ”
I looked at Onilla and felt a little flustered. I tried to calm down and asked Brie, "Is it really as scary as you say?" ”
The little demon glanced at me and said, "The demon level is strict, the pyramids are distributed, and the high demons control the city of Evenger, and the four regions are ruled by the four lords. Above the High Demons, there is an even more powerful existence, and that is the Humanoid Demon. The higher the level of the demon, the closer it is to a human in appearance, and the humanoid demon is no different from a human. And the Lords of the Four Directions are all high-level or humanoid demons. They reside at the four ends of the Cross Wall and control all the territories of the demons. And the people who drove the army of death this time seem to have some ...... with the Western lords Grievances? To go there now is tantamount to looking for death. ”
I swallowed involuntarily: "They...... Isn't it amazing? ”
The little devil looked at me and didn't speak, and only after a while did he say, "You are like this...... Any high-level demon is no match for you. ”
I was silent, then I stood up again, I knew what I was going to face next, and my mood suddenly became cheerful: I must find Rand no matter what.
Onira's eyes were a little moist, and she looked at me in a daze, with an indescribable melancholy in her eyes, so pitiful.
At that moment, I suddenly decided not to take her with me anymore.
