At the altar of the Temple of the Sun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Simon and Hinclair looked at the two paths next to the altar, one to the left of the altar leading to the underground, and the other to the right of the altar spiral staircase.

"Aphrodite once said that there was a treasure trove under the temple and a library upstairs. Why don't we go upstairs and find the library together? ”

Simon said to Hinclair.

But Hincley shook his head and looked at the spiral staircase.

"Finding the library is our priority, but it's also necessary to explore other areas of the temple. I'll go find the library, and you can see what's in the basement, and maybe there's a treasure. ”

Simon lowered his head in thought.

"President, in fact, I have always had a question in my heart, why did you call me 'stranger' when we first met? Normally, I would think I was a local survivor, for example, Vanessa always thought I was a local, and I didn't introduce my origins. ”

Hinclair seems to have been a bit of a surprise to Simon's question.

"Isn't that a matter of course, there are no other survivors in the city now, let alone a spellcaster. I don't know much about spells, but I at least know that warlocks usually awaken their arcane talents between the ages of ten and fourteen, and it's rare for them to awaken their talents at your age. ”

"I see, I deserve to be the president, and I am really well-informed. By the way, why don't we call our fellow Brotherhood of Steel and explore the temple together? ”

Hinclair shook his hand impatiently.

"There's no need to mobilize the people, just a few of us. Don't waste any time, Simon, we'll talk about these questions later, let's explore them first. ”

Simon nodded and walked to the basement.

Although it was not intended, Simon still found President Hinkley to behave a little strangely. Although President Hinkley's performance along the way was not bad, his combat effectiveness was too weak. Since the members of the Brotherhood of Steel have no objection to the president going out alone, it means that the president's combat power is very strong, and they are not worried about the president's safety at all. However, judging from the performance along the way, President Hinckley's combat ability is not at all unique, either the president has life-saving magic items, or the president is hiding his strength. But since Vanessa didn't have any doubts about President Hinckley's fighting ability, why was that? Could it be that the members of the Iron Brotherhood have not seen the president's skills at all, it is possible, after all, Hinclair's lifespan is far beyond ordinary people, and it is very likely that these people do not know the strength of Hinkley president now.

Hopefully, it's just that I'm suspicious, and President Hinkley shouldn't live up to Vanessa's trust.

Simon walked to the passage to the underground with concern.

But Simon didn't go far before he regretted it, and the passage was pitch black, with only a faint light at the bottom. The passage resembles a giant well, with spiral stairs leading down the walls. Simon didn't bring a torch for lighting, so he had to touch the wall and walk slowly. Just as Simon was thinking about going back and asking Vanessa if he had any torches, he saw what the shimmering object below was, which made him determined to keep going.

It was a flaming sword.

While everyone was still exploring the temple, the people who noticed the temple's abnormality also began to act.

"Christina, we're ready."

Christina looked at her fellow Brotherhood of Steel, all armed and ready to go.

"Very well, no matter what happened in the temple, that pillar of light just now may attract the surrounding enemies, we must rush to the temple as soon as possible to join the guild leader."

Christina said worriedly.

"And the monsters outside the city are getting closer and closer, but we haven't heard anything from the eastern outpost. Most likely, they have already taken care of themselves, or worse. I need to ask the president for advice on what to do next, whether to fight or to evacuate. ”

Thinking about the possibility of leaving here, the Brotherhood of Steel can't help but feel sad and confused.

Where else can we go to live in a place full of monsters, and is there no safe refuge?

Because control of the Golem was in the hands of President Hinclair, Christina had no choice but to keep the Golem on standby at the headquarters and assemble the combatants at her disposal. Christina looked at the twelve people in front of her, who had managed to get together from the headquarters, these were all elite fighters of the Brotherhood of Steel, and hoped that they would return safely.

"Let's go, we need to reach the Temple of the Sun as soon as possible!"

A team of thirteen people, including Christina, who was an archer, set out to make their way to the Temple of the Sun. In addition to Christina, the team consisted of five warriors, three scouts, two archers, a mage, and a support staff skilled in first aid. As long as this force is not surrounded by a large number of skeletons, it can completely run rampant in Silver City, even if it encounters high-level undead creatures, it can also fight.

It's a pity that they met Neham, an elite vampire mage from an unknown force.

"Let me see, one, two, three, four...... Thirteen, what an unlucky number, no wonder you ran into me, although I want to go and see the situation in the temple as soon as possible, but you are a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, right? This can't be easily let go, just enough to catch it all! ”

Neham chuckled and looked at his prey.

"Damn! It's a mage! Be careful, try to spread out as much as possible. ”

The mage in the group, the bald mage who had spoken to Simon before, shouted anxiously.

"Don't you run away, courage, bugs!"

Neam reached out and repositioned the incense burner on the necklace and threw a sparkling jade into it.

"Face despair."

A puff of grayish-brown smoke billowed out of the censer, enveloping Neham's figure in a few moments, and spreading outward to a radius of 20 feet around Neham before stopping, the ominous smoke condensing as if it were substance, showing no sign of dissipating at all.

"It's Death Cloud! Don't stay in the smoke, otherwise your physique will gradually be damaged until you die. ”

The bald mage reminded him and began to chant the incantation, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the direction of Neham, and although the gray-brown smoke began to be blown away a lot, it was replenished by the smoke that was constantly being produced.

Although Neum was standing in the smoke, he was not affected by the Death Cloud Technique in the slightest, and his vision was completely unobstructed, and he could clearly see Christina and the others.

"It seems that the key is that bald man, although I don't want to waste spells, but time is more precious, I don't want to waste energy on this group of guys."

Neam began to cast spells on the bald mage, because in the smoke, the crowd could only hear the sound of him chanting spells, but could not see his location.

"It's too passive, the archers hold back the attack, all evacuate, and wait for the smoke to dissipate before fighting."

Christina commanded the team.

In order to protect the crowd, the Bald Mage casts an anti-evil circle, which not only gives some defense, but also makes his teammates completely immune to the mental effects of evil forces.

Just as the bald mage was about to cast a spell, the ground around him suddenly darkened, and four strange black tentacles stretched out, one of which was accidentally tightly entwined by two of them, and bursts of paralyzing toxins came from the tentacles, while the other two tentacles waved around aimlessly looking for the next prey. Although the bald mage wears a magical belt that is immune to paralyzing effects, he is still bound by tentacles and unable to move.

"Now that the sole caster has been dealt with, you will surely die."

Neam then unleashed the vampire's special abilities, turning himself into a cloud of mist and flying towards the Brotherhood of Steel team. Although the vaporized incense burner could no longer produce smoke, the smoke that had been produced was still effective, and it was always centered on Neme, and with Neham's high-speed movement, the smoke of death rushed to the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel.

Christina and her party soon fell into a smoke of death filled with negative energy.

"Ahem! My throat hurts! ”

"My eyes can't see!"

"Help...... I've ...... Inability to breathe. ”

"My hands, damned, have no strength in my body."

"Help me, I don't want to die!"

Christina listened to her teammates' wails but couldn't do anything, she had an amulet on her that was immune to death magic, and she could ignore the effects of death clouds, but she still couldn't change the situation of defeat. Under the moving smoke of death, they were completely helpless, and they couldn't even catch the enemy, let alone kill it.

Christina ran up to the bald mage and tried to cut off the black tentacles with her short knife, but the black tentacles were so resilient that they didn't take much damage, and almost wrapped around Christina as well. At this time, the bald mage did not use a gesture, but simply used a spell to cast a dissolving spell on himself, and the black tentacles disappeared in an instant. Christina hurriedly held the mage who almost fell.

"We don't have a chance of winning, now we have to run one person is one person, Christina, you have to tell the president the bad news, we may die here, but the Brotherhood of Steel can't be destroyed here."

"But why? Where the hell did this monster come from? We are supposed to accept the president, why did we become like this? ”

Christina couldn't stop crying, listening to the screams of her teammates before they died, she felt that all this was her responsibility, and she felt extremely guilty in her heart.

"Don't regret it, remember, always look forward. As long as there are people alive, the Brotherhood of Steel will never perish! ”

Despite Christina's fierce opposition, the bald mage shoved a small crystal shard into Christina's hand.

"Good luck!"

Christina vanishes in a flash of light, and she will be teleported to a random location within 10 miles of her, and the mage hopes she will be lucky enough to escape.

Slowly, the wailing around them gradually stopped, and only a dead silence remained.

Neam took on his true form, ignoring the dead bodies around him and running straight in the direction of the Sun Temple, transforming into a black, shadowy wolf as he ran, defying gravity and running on the walls and even the water of the building.

Neither the water nor the mirrors reflected any shadow, and Neham roamed the city like an invisible ghost.
