Chapter 698: Enter the Immortal Fortress
Are you sure you're right? It's a dead end. ”
A guard carrying a lantern unceremoniously questioned the commander in front of him, if ordinary guards saw this scene, they would have to lose their big teeth.
But this arch is not really a great commander, and the guards are not really guards.
Sivir took off her sweltering and heavy black steel helmet and wiped off her sweat, because she was an orthodox Shurima clan, her sweat glands were well developed, and she would quickly sweat and dissipate heat when she felt the stuffiness.
They were in a dead end, and Jeno said that the underground entrance to the Immortal Fortress was here, but she couldn't find the entrance with the lantern.
In response, Jeno just shook his head and sighed.
"You're the best you can't find with a lantern...... Magical idiot, since I can transform into someone else's form, can't this door become an ordinary wall? ”
Jeno snatched Calikar from Sivir, who was speechless, and slashed the wall beside him with his blade.
The illusion was cracked, and a huge mouth-like gate suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
Sivir was so surprised that she almost didn't hold the lantern, and then she realized that she was standing on the threshold, and she could feel the weirdness just by reaching out and touching the wall.
Xavier gave Rui Wen a look of disbelief, as if to ask what was going on.
"It's very simple, it's dark under the lights." Rui Wen nodded, but there was a real answer.
In contrast, Rui Wen is much calmer.
Of course, Sivir also saw that she had not found the entrance as well as herself, so her afterthought answer naturally caused her some disdain.
In fact, even Jeno himself discovered the entrance by extreme chance, the boulder that formed the immortal fortress originally exuded a huge amount of dark energy, and the entrance hidden under the foundation of the boulder was covered by illusion, under the influence of the huge energy, it was difficult for ordinary people to find that there was a trace of abnormality in the magic here.
Jeno squeezed over to Sivir and stood at the edge of the threshold, the darkness inside the dark stone doorframe was a deeper darkness.
He saw the open entrance in front of him, with inscriptions in Ochen on both sides of the entrance, and unknown skeletal fragments scattered on the stone bricks at his feet, all of which led him deeper into darkness.
"Do you want to go in?" Sivir carried a lantern to let in the dim light, and behind the entrance was a deep, dark corridor, where the light could not end, and here and there were pitch-black monolithic columns.
"Yes." Jeno nodded solemnly: "But before we go in, we have to make some preparations." ”
"You two, face me." Jeno turned to face Xavier and Riven, and the emblem of a black rose was drawn in mid-air in front of his forehead, marking the two of them as members of the Secret Society. Then he lifted his transformation, changed from a middle-aged man back to a young man, and also marked himself.
"What can this mark do?" Sivir couldn't help but ask.
Originally, she couldn't see the emblem, but after the emblem, she could also see a black rose printed on the foreheads of the other two.
Not to mention, it's pretty good-looking, full of a mysterious beauty.
"As long as anyone can see the emblem, they will not interfere with what they are going to do next." Jeno explained.
"What the hell is down there to make Noxus give up the invasion of Ionia." Rui Wen asked worriedly.
"The place where the tyrant is imprisoned, if he is released, the entire immortal fortress will be dismantled in an instant." Jeno looked at the darkness, and his eyes darkened.
"You're not really going to let him out, are you?" Riven only wants Noxus to stop its invasion of Ionia, but she also doesn't want to see Noxus doomed.
"Then it depends on the attitude of Svein and LeBlanc, and if they compromise, I won't take this risky move."
If things do get to the point where the tyrant has to be released, Jeno is not entirely sure that he will be killed again.
Rui Wen watched as Jeno and Xavier entered the dark corridor one after the other, silently saying in her heart that the tyrant would not return to the world, and then carefully looked around to make sure they were not being followed, before following the dark shadow in the depths of the corridor.
The stone used to build the wall was so powerful that it almost made a sound on its own, but the other two were barely aware of it except for Jeno.
I don't know if these stones are full of dark magic in themselves, or because they have been exposed to a high concentration of magic for a long time, they have been impregnated like this little by little.
They knew something was wrong here, but all they felt was some kind of heavy dead air dragging at their limbs, only a vague itch at the back of their heads.
The dark magic here has been so strong that it will affect the human body, and it is difficult for the weak-willed to maintain their sanity in this environment, although Sivir and Riven seem to have nothing to do now, but Jeno doesn't know how long they can hold on, so he sped up.
Seeing that Jeno always made quick choices in front of complicated forks in the road, and led them to the next fork in the road that awaited them without hesitation, as if he was extremely familiar with this place and had walked hundreds of times, Sivir couldn't help but ask.
"Jeno, is this your first time here?"
"Of course, it's my first time. The reason I know how to go is because I'm just following the source of the magic. ”
Jeno said without looking back.
But what he didn't say was that since entering the Immortal Fortress, there was an inexplicable force calling him from the depths of the earth, and all the cells in his body were responding to this powerful call, but his mind was sober and resisted his body to act.
Making decisions based on the call is one of the reasons why Jeno was able to clearly identify the path in the dark labyrinth.
As they progressed, a robed figure suddenly emerged from the shadows......
Sivir and Ruiwen reached out to touch their respective weapons, but their hands were inexplicably controlled by an invisible force.
"Forget, you have a badge on your head, and these people will not attack you."
Jeno's reminder reassured the two of them a little, and when the black-robed mysterious man disappeared from sight, they let go of their hands and came to Jeno's side.
After that, more figures appeared and disappeared, but none of them did anything to thwart the trio.
All of these people are directly assigned to LeBlanc, each performing their own duties without interfering with each other. They don't know each other and never exchange names. It's like Elise and Cassiopeia, although they are both mutated monsters, they don't know that the other is just as loyal to the Black Rose as they are to themselves.
The three of them walked in silence, and after turning the last corner, they finally arrived at the destination of the trip.
A huge well appeared in front of him.
