Chapter 4 Not the first to go down to the dungeon
The Imperial Praetorian Guard is stationed in Greed City.
A middle-aged man with a beard and a face full of vicissitudes paced under the cold moon in the backyard, chanting words in his mouth: "War or surrender, war or surrender, Borot, Diliot, Borot, Diliot!"
He circled around the backyard wall three times, paused for a long time, and then suddenly felt a feeling in his heart, and said to himself: "The heretics must be exterminated, and it is still time to support Deliot!"
At this time, the Praetorian Guard came to report, and the tavern owner asked to see him, and the bearded middle-aged man knew that he must have caught a few more big fish.
"General Iros!" the tavernkeeper exclaimed.
"Don't you think the city is tossing and turning enough?" said the general coldly.
"General, what I caught this time is a big fish, and I don't dare to dispose of it without permission, so I specially came to ask for instructions!"
Iros stroked his beard with his fist and continued to speak disdainfully, "You said the same thing last time, but it was a skinny female elf who was captured, didn't you say she was a tree worshipper?
"Your Excellency, General. The tavern owner was a little nervous and a little excited, "This time it's different, three big fish have been caught at the same time, each with a special skill, and it seems that they are here for the treasure of the cemetery." ”
"All three of them are still stunts, but they were caught by you so easily. I'm not interested, I'll deal with it myself, and feed your vampires!" the bearded general slammed his fists again.
"General, there is a secular monk who calls himself Fort Salat inside, don't you want to see it?"
"Fort Zarat?" said Iros, thoughtfully, "is it the monastery from which the Pope is born today?"
"Exactly!" the tavernkeeper triumphed.
Iros's cheeks puffed out twice, and his beard trembled slightly: "Well done! His Majesty the Emperor is worried that he can't catch the Pope's handle, and this matter can be taken advantage of!"
"Do you want me to bring people in? or ......?"
"No, I'll meet them at the tavern with you. ”
"What do you mean?"
"If the man was really a monk from Fort Salat, he was taken back and put in prison for interrogation. As for the other two people, if they are of no other use, they will be bled on the spot, and I don't want to keep a few more pieces of waste in prison!"
......
It turned out that at the end of the last episode, when the dwarf Kai Gong rushed out of the door with two bright plate axes, he was about to fall due to a hangover and unstable center of gravity. At the end of the fire, Kai Gong saw the vacancy, plunged an axe into the chest of a vampire, pulled him to the ground, and quickly drew his plate axe, slashed left and right on the ground, and messed around. Several vampires were caught off guard, all wounded, and drifted away in a puff of white smoke.
Kai Gong shouted: "Straight thief, come again, grandpa is waiting for you!"
The tavernkeeper hid in the shadows, chanted a spell, and flew out of his fingertips a transparent white ball, which floated down in front of Kegun, and suddenly exploded, leaving Kegun, Benedict, and Best all unable to move. The boss stepped forward and laughed, and several vampires who had just turned into white light smoke and scattered away also floated back, revealing a bewitching female body.
Kai Gen's body couldn't move, but his mouth could still scold: "Damn, didn't they all cut just now?
"Idiot!" Benedict scolded, "where is it so easy for a vampire to be hacked to death by you!"
"God forbid, God forbid!" the thief Bester still prayed.
The boss was not interested in the dwarf or the thief, he only looked at the bald old man and said, "May I ask which monastery your Excellency belongs to?"
After Benedict explained his origin and name, he asked rhetorically: "Your Excellency must also be from a monastery, and this immobilization technique is superb. But how can you be in the same league as these evil vampires!"
The tavern keeper laughed, "You'll have to ask General Iros." ”
"General?" said Benedict, puzzled.
"The Supreme Commander of the Imperial Imperial Guard in this city!" the tavern keeper recited aloud with reverence on his face.
......
When General Iros saw Benedict, he suddenly felt a feeling in his heart, and secretly pondered where he seemed to have seen this old man, or that this old man's face looked like a man.
Benedict also looked at him carefully, was silent for a long time, and suddenly took the lead in asking, "The general is under Duke Borot." ”
Iros hesitated slightly, but said with a laugh: "Your Excellency and I have never met, how do you know that I am Duke Bao's subordinate?"
"Duke Borot is not trusted by the Emperor, how could his men be sent here to guard such an important place?"
Iros laughed even louder, and the beard on his cheeks trembled in a terrifying manner: "The Pope was born in your convent, and you must have been friends with him for a long time at your age!"
"I do have a good personal relationship with the current Pope, but since he fled to the south, he has never been in touch. Benedict doesn't seem to want to hide anything.
The general looked at the Kegun, who had thick shoulders and short stature, and then looked at the thief Best, whose legs were trembling. The two fists subconsciously slammed together, and continued to ask Benedict, "Are they all your people?"
"Exactly, I knew that there was a huge treasure hidden in the city of Gread, so I planned for a long time and gathered a group of people to try my luck. ”
"You don't seem to have a good eye. Iros scoffed, "This short man can still be used, this tall and thin man is simply a burden." ”
"Each has its own duties, tomb robbery is not to go into battle to kill the enemy, and it does not require everyone to be extremely brave. Benedict replied lightly.
General Iros looked into the old man's eyes, as if trying to read his thoughts, but the old man was calm and unhesitating, and the general knew that this was a hard bone, so he ordered his men to escort all three of them to the dungeon.
......
The dungeons of Gred City are relics of the ancient empire of Venne, and the absolutist monarchy has never lacked the foil of dungeons, and some people are more satisfied with the emperor by being locked in the dungeon than by killing them outright.
However, after the baptism of time and the catastrophe of the earthquake a hundred years ago, only a small part of the dungeons that were originally huge and extended in all directions under the city of Gled can still be used.
The successive emperors of Tambolance have been able to get by, and the capital of the ancient empire has long been a thing of the past in their eyes, without the slightest value, and it is not worth spending money on maintenance, let alone dungeons.
Before he became emperor, Duke Del T.L. coveted the treasures that were said to be buried beneath the city. After becoming the emperor, he could use the power in his hands to dig out on a large scale. However, the result was unsatisfactory, although some things were unearthed in bits and pieces, and they were worth a few dollars, but compared with the expectations in my heart, there was still a lot of difference. Moreover, the ancient empire seems to have planted all kinds of magic traps underground, and there are all kinds of evil creatures hiding in the shadows, even the imperial royal guards can't help it.
The emperor knew that he was in a hurry to eat hot tofu, so he ordered people to suspend the digging, but to keep it strictly guarded to prevent anyone from going down to steal the treasure.
Although General Iros was a subordinate of Duke Borot, he thought about his future and secretly curryed favor with the emperor and was willing to serve the emperor. The Emperor kept him silent and continued to stay with Borot. However, he ordered a message to be sent to Duke Borot to choose a suitable person to guard the city of Grued. There are not many capable people under Borot, and they are all timid and afraid, and it is their greatest wish to have a hot kang head for their wives and children. No one wants to suffer in a place where birds like Gridd don't poop. General Iros volunteered to ask for his life, and although Borot was not happy to leave his right-hand man, the emperor's will could not be disobeyed, so he could only recommend him to go. The Emperor took advantage of the situation to promote Iros, and the Imperial Imperial Guard has since added another general.
......
The three of them were supposed to be separated, but the dungeon was too narrow, and Iros carelessly thought that they would not be able to fly, so he left the three of them in one place.
Kaegon entered the dungeon, but his interest was still high, and he sang out loud dwarven love songs that no one understood. One moment patted the thin back of the thief Best, and the other touched the baldness of the old man Benedict.
Best sighed and said, "Hey, I've been moldy for eight lifetimes, it's really unlucky! This time I went straight to the dungeon, and it was even worse than last time." ”
"How did you get out of prison the last time you were caught in prison?" asked Benedict.
"It wasn't a dungeon last time, and it wasn't a magic lock. "It's obvious here that it's not any ordinary locks." ”
"It's not hard. Benedict laughed, "However, this place is too far from the ground, and it will take a lot of trouble to get out." ”
"I'm afraid of Mao, my plate axe is gone, if they are here, what are you afraid of going out all the way?" Kaigen gritted his teeth, and his long red beard was pulled by him fiercely.
"Didn't you say that an informant gave you a secret passage to the cemetery?" asked Benedict.
"Well, there's a drawing, and I forgot it if you don't say it!" Kaegon unbuttoned his clothes and pulled out the parchment that was clinging to his underwear.
The three of them looked closely, and there were many lines on the drawings, and some important buildings in the city were marked, including the entrance to the dungeon where they were located.
Benedict said, "We are now at least a few hundred feet above the ground, and although we can get a rough idea of the location of the entrance to the dungeon, it is not easy to escape through the main entrance, and we have to find another exit. ”
The thief Best's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to a line and said, "Look, my lord, the secret passage to the cemetery and the ancient dungeon intersect, can we find a way to get through?"
Benedict shook his head and said, "Look at the stone around this dungeon, it's not something that a few of us can dig in a short time with manpower. We'll have to find another way. ”
At this time, a crisp sound came from the cell next to them. They couldn't meet each other in the cells, but the three of them knew that the other must be a female elf because of the strong accent.
"Did you come to this city to steal treasure too?" the elf asked.
"Yes!" said Benedict first.
"Girl, are you also interested in treasure?" the thief Bester suddenly came to his senses.
"Hey, I'm not actually here to steal the treasure, but the elders sent me to check if a treasure left in this city by the elves a long time ago is still there. ”
"How did you get caught?" Best's concern grew.
"The miasma here is extremely heavy, and I, as a druid, have no means to use it, and when I entered the city, I was targeted by the Praetorian Guard, and the tavern owner pretended to be a good man, and took me down while I was unprepared. ”
"Oh, not only an elf, but also a tree-climbing elf!" said Kagun, with two sighs of disdain from his nostrils.
The old feud between the dwarves and the elves has been going on for thousands of years, and the ancient empire of Venn was already in bonding.
"What we need now is unity. Benedict said.
Best couldn't help but wonder a little about the tavern full of female vampires, what attracted an elven druid girl to go there?
The elf explained: "Strange to say, I was a little thirsty when I entered the city, and this hotel was the only conspicuous store in the city that was still open, so I wanted to go and ask for a glass of water, and who knew that they were in their way." ”
"Girl, do you have any special skills?"
"Ah, I, a lot, but it's full of the smell of desecration of nature, and I can't use my means. ”
The four of them were about to say more when they heard footsteps from above, and they stopped talking.
