Volume 13 Seals! A sigh from the Gate of the Abyss! Chapter 60

After entering the temple, the members of the Dark Council and the Masquerade discovered it. The size of the temple is far beyond their imagination.

Originally, they just thought that the temple in the small kingdom of Noah Bora was not remarkable, and they had seen too many such ruins, even from the external architecture of the temple, it was only majestic and gorgeous, but they still underestimated the spirit of the heroic age.

At that time, the temple was built in such a way that religious buildings not only had ground buildings, but also built a complete underground defense system, which was specially built to defend against a large number of abysses and underground creatures, and the demonic beasts underground at that time were far more violent and dangerous than they are today, so underground buildings were often stronger than those built on the ground.

After the Second War on the mainland, many bandits and rebels on the mainland used this kind of building to fight against the legitimate kingdom everywhere, and even the dark elves who emerged from the surface used this place as a temporary habitat, so that many of them were artificially demolished in more than a thousand years, and more were directly destroyed from the inside with powerful magic.

In fact, the entire kingdom of Noah Bora was built on the basis of the original ground building of the temple, and the building outside the mountain looks like it has only three floors, but because its underground structure has not been destroyed, the scale is staggering.

Thankfully, due to a lack of manpower maintenance. The priests were now only operating within the original core of the temple, more than ten times smaller, and the Abyssal Horn would not be dragged out of their control, even so, except for the devout priests who had lived here for a long time, no one could figure out the intricate and tortuous corridor in it.

They were now standing in an underground plaza with dozens of huge stone pillars supporting the dome, and opposite were three huge stone steps, each leading to a different location, and it is conceivable that there were more forks and pathways behind it.

"Plop. ”

A corpse was thrown to the ground, and judging by the clothing, this person was originally a sacrificial attendant here.

"I asked, he knew very little, and the temple attendants were only responsible for sweeping a certain area, and they were not allowed to move around or talk to other attendants," said a woman with a strange wrist bracelet on her wrist and a bow and arrow on her back, her eyes white and no sign of pupils.

These words dashed the last hope of the members of the Dark Squad that they would find a guide.

But the woman had a look of great aftertaste: "But his soul is delicious, and I would love to eat a few more." ”

"Sophie is a soul hunter. The talkative Billy smiled and explained the woman's identity to the members of the masquerade.

A middle-aged man who looked like the person in charge of the Dark Council groaned for a moment and stood up and said, "We are all people from the Council from various dark realms, except for a few people, we are not very familiar with each other, so fighting together will not play to our strengths, plus the terrain here is complicated, I propose." We must be separated, divided into several battle groups, each looking for a target, but we must maintain a certain combat effectiveness in numbers, if we find a tricky character, don't fight hard, contact nearby teammates to find a way together. ”

The head of the dough group, Moti, nodded lightly and said, "Baron Ulak is right, there is only this method at present, but it is a little difficult to communicate with each other. ”

Actually, the Dough had a special way of communicating with each other, as long as they weren't too far apart, they could communicate with each other even if they were separated, but he wasn't ready to say it, not only because it was one of his hole cards and couldn't be taken out casually, but more importantly, he wanted to see how the Dark Council would solve this problem.

"In terms of being in charge of contact, I can think of a way for everyone, in the temple. I can convey your meaning to the other party as soon as possible, and I will not disappoint you. Unexpectedly, the answerer, Howard, stood up with a confident face.

"You?" said Sideric, looking him up and down, incredulous.

Howard smiled and said calmly, "I'm a shadow thief, I used to work for Sin City, but I'm good at liaison, and the thief skills I focus on are unique. ”

He pulled out a dagger and plunged it down his throat to the hilt.

Everyone was taken aback, but the strange thing was that ordinary people would definitely die if they suffered such an attack, but he still stood in place with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

Modi's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "Shadow clone?"

With a snap, Howard snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, but there are still some differences from the real shadow clone, and I can't say what it is." ”

He clapped his hands and said, "Let's all come out." ”

One Howard after another came out of the darkness, and twelve identical "Howards" stood together and saluted everyone, their clothes, demeanor, and tone of voice.

"Anything my clone sees and hears can be known to me at the first time, and my clone will not really be killed unless I want to, and there are some details that you can slowly understand. I won't go into it here. ”

Using shadow energy to form a clone, and being able to create this wonderful non-combat rogue skill, even Modi couldn't help but praise it.

Cedric stared at it for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Which one is your real body?"

Howard smiled and said, "That's my secret." ”

"Good!" Baron Ulak said in a deep voice, "since there is no problem with the contact, then our chances of victory are one hundred percent." ”

There are a total of twelve people in Kataga, all of whom are combatants except for three auxiliaries, and they are divided into four groups, the leader of Kamen Dough, Moty, and the two twin maids, a group led by Sydrik, who has the talent of Qi, Dahl, who has the talent of fire, and Gabriel, who has the talent of Rock, who leads a group.

On the side of the Dark Council, including Howard, who was in charge of answering, there were forty-seven people, but there were also forty-two combatants, and they were divided into six groups, each group of more or less, and it seemed that they were distributed according to strength, not exactly according to numbers.

"I don't know how long it takes to search such a big place. "Cedric is a very disoriented person, and when he hears that he is going to go separately, especially when he hears that it is like a labyrinth underground, it gives him a lot of headaches.

"Haha, this thing is going to kao my great Billy......" A shrill and hoarse laugh rang out in a high-pitched voice, and Billy laughed wildly. And his face was flushed, as if he had been holding back this for a long time, but his laughter attracted the anger of the fat woman behind him, and he slapped him on the back of the head, and his laughter came to an abrupt end.

"Don't do it yet!"

Being glared at by the fat woman, Billy didn't dare to complain at all, under the inexplicable gaze of the people around him, he took out a small box, and after opening it, his eyes lit up, only to see a golden locust swooping out of it.

The ghostly locust first looked at everyone vigilantly. The wings on his back vibrated a few times in warning, and then burrowed through the nostrils of the corpse on the ground at great speed.

After a while, there was a rustling sound from inside the corpse, and the surface of the skin and flesh slowly turned into a dense honeycomb, and one after another locusts bit through the corpse and drilled out of it, and then flew in all directions, this disgusting scene caused countless goosebumps to rise on the bodies of everyone present.

In just a few breaths, thousands of locusts crawled out of the corpse, and it didn't stop until the corpse was gone.

"Scourge locusts?" someone exclaimed.

The scourge locusts eat everything, and there is almost nothing they can't gnaw on, and they have long been wiped out by various races in the heroic era, whether it is abyssal creatures or human elves, they all hate this kind of thing.

"No, no, no!" Seeing everyone's extremely ugly faces, Billy was startled, and he hurriedly denied it, "This is just a variant of some ancient abyss demon insect that I cultivated, but it is not as powerful as the natural calamity locust, and the life cycle is only a short sixteen hourglass, and it cannot reproduce indefinitely, just this corpse-eating locust took me ten years." ”

"Don't underestimate these little ones, they share with my heart, and everywhere they pass, they will be reflected in my mind," Billy pointed to his head. Said proudly: "Kao, these little guys, we will be able to know which places are particularly fortified and which are worthless, and it won't be long before I will know all the terrain here." ”

Everyone present exclaimed, and at first some were suspicious, but when Billy suddenly took a stone pen and drew the general outline of the temple on the ground, no one dared to underestimate the dwarf and obscene alchemist.

As long as this person is here, the people here are equivalent to an extra pair of eyes, and those locusts can also go to some places that humans can't reach, and it won't be long before this Billy is even more familiar with this place than the people in the temple, and he can also monitor all the people of the light forces in the past at any time, even if he doesn't participate in the battle. He is also worth far more than the average combatant.

Billy raised his face, looked at Howard, and said, "Hehe, if Billy can be with Mr. Howard, then even if we are separated, we won't be lucky like headless bugs." ”

In the kingdom of Noahbora, at the top of a mountain, in a secret stronghold of the Mage.

At this time, the young white-haired mage Abner was looking at the roll of parchment in his hand, for a long time, he let out a long breath, raised it to an old man in front of him, and said: "The information sent by the Doomsday Guild has been clarified, except for the masked ones, the Dark Council has sent a total of forty-seven people this time, led by Baron Ulak, including a soul hunter, three magic archers with unknown attributes, five fallen priests, nine necromancers, and some dark swordsmen and spear knights, but it is worth noting ......" He paused, looked at the old man and said, "According to the judgment of the Doomsday Thieves Guild, there are two people inside, most likely lich ......"

This kind of monster that doesn't know how long it has been "alive" has always been sitting in the dark realm, and it rarely appears on the continent alone, except for a few wars with the forces of light.

"Lich ......" The old man only shrugged his eyebrows in surprise, and did not look shocked or frightened, which was also very natural in Abner's opinion.

Abner's conspicuous white hair seemed to reflect a fiery red under the torch, and he smiled softly and said, "Teacher, with you here, I'm afraid there aren't enough of them, right?"

This ordinary-looking old man, not tall, thin and small, although he was wearing an ancient linen white robe from a hundred or ten years ago, he looked barely a little mage, but he did not have any magic staff in his hand, so that people could not judge his identity, at a glance, he seemed to be no different from those old nobles in the countryside who were waiting to die in those castles.

His snow-white eyebrows furrowed slightly, sighed slightly, and said, "I never underestimate my opponent, and besides, this is no longer my own business. ”

Abner bowed down respectfully and said, "Teacher, the Mage Guild has reached this moment, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is life and death, so you can't stop taking action." ”

No one could have imagined that this seemingly extremely ordinary old man was the former president of the Mage Society, one of the ten kings of the mainland, known as the "Ascetic of Merlin", and had the title of "Emperor of the Law".

He stood up and walked into the hall in front of him, where a huge pentagram was carved on the ground, with hot mercury flowing in the deep ravine, and five torches with five horns, each with a shining hedron suspended in the air, looking dazzling.

In the midst of the Moonless Star Array, there was a white bone stone floating, which looked inconspicuous, but Adriman could feel that a majestic tidal force was constantly rolling, as if a slight push would cause the majestic power of the sea to collapse overwhelmingly.

Slowly staring at him, Adriman's expression revealed a brilliance, and he said slowly: "It's indeed about time." ”

This pentagram that will be presided over by him, coupled with the cooperation of the other three elemental tower masters, is the biggest hole card that the mage will win this time.

Adriman will use it to construct an unprecedented Pang** domain, which will directly lock all the dark elemental fluctuations in the entire Noah Bora Kingdom, while at the same time increasing the activity of other elements.

In this way, if all the mages belonging to the Mage Guild in this kingdom are blessed with amazing effect of buff magic, but all the mages on the side of the Dark Council are reduced to a level that is only a little stronger than ordinary people, even if it is a lich, they can only use the elemental magic that they are not usually good at, once the two sides come into contact, there are many mages, and the strong are not weaker than the other party's advantage will be reflected, coupled with the cooperation of the melee strength of the Knight Alliance, the balance of victory has been added to them before the war。

Moreover, this is not the last resort of the Mage Society.

"If something happens, I'll completely destroy the country. Adriman said lightly, as if it were as simple as killing a few bugs, but it was just just in case.

Abner took a breath and said in a demagogic tone, "Teacher, since you can do it, why don't you just sweep these bugs away? Even if some of our mages are sacrificed, then I'm afraid the price is worth it, even if you fish, you have to have bait." ”

Adriman shook his head and said: "Although it can be done, but this spell is too quiet, and the destruction of a special country that has existed since the heroic era is bound to cause an uproar, in that case, even if we win, then in the monks' meeting, this will also become a pretext for the Holy See and the Knight Alliance to attack us, which is very bad for us, not to mention that there are still many people from the Knight Alliance and the Holy See in the canyon, so I am still unwilling to take this step unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

Although he explained this to his children, he clearly knew in his heart that this was just his excuse.

The real reason is that because of the agreement back then, in order to appease the woman who always likes to cause trouble, no king-level powerhouse can make a move at will, this time he came forward to interfere with the element is already a small action, if he doesn't solve it quickly, I believe that the woman knows and doesn't know what trouble will happen, and being questioned by other kings and powerhouses is still a trivial matter, if it leads to problems with the balance of power on the continent that is difficult to maintain, this is really not what he wants to see.

"What do you think of the new bishop of the Holy See of Light?" asked Adriman suddenly.

Abner was stunned and said, "Landiston?"

He didn't understand why his mentor would ask about this person, so he couldn't help but groan for a moment and said, " A very young, very skillful person, as far as I know, his background does not seem to be a big noble, that is to say, he is completely kao himself step by step to the current position, I always feel that this person is shrouded in a layer of mysterious mist, can not see clearly, presumably the strength should not be very weak, right, how could the teacher suddenly remember to ask this person, isn't the decisive battle between Uther and Ibsail of the Knight Alliance more worth looking forward to?"

Adriman's eyes closed slightly, and after a while, he slowly opened them, and said in a deep voice: "I'm just very strange, he was able to come down alive from the Thunder Cliff, that woman's temper has never been very good......"

Abner didn't know the details of this, but vaguely guessed that this was a level that he couldn't touch, but since Adriman didn't say anything, he naturally had to ask further, so he said: "I remember that Landiston's battle of fame was to kill the black dragon Nimbast in the southern waters of the continent, but this time, the chief monk Niorid didn't seem to be happy with him coming in, and just threw him at the mouth of the canyon, and the bishop seemed destined to be disappointed."
