Chapter 481: Library Fortress
After Jeno's threats, Elise seemed much more honest, at least she didn't let Jeno see anything out of the ordinary.
As for why Jano was able to control Elise?
In fact, after Elise received the venom injection of the Despicable Throat, this was already a sure thing.
After all, part of the venom of Despicable Throat was also transformed after eating Bazel's body, and Jeno's soul virus entered Elise's body through the transmission of venom.
Even if it was only a small amount, after a long period of days, even a monster like Elise was succumbing to the infection.
Dedicated to leading the way, Elise led Jeno and his party over thousands of mountains and rivers, and because of Jeno's warnings, she competently avoided many potential risks and led them to the places she often explored.
"There's the library ahead......" Elise looked back at Jeno worriedly.
The closer she gets to the finish line, the more she fears that Jeno will cross the river and tear down the bridge and kill her after she completes her mission.
"Library-fortress? Then we are already very close to Helia. ”
Finally, there is no longer a long journey, which is undoubtedly exciting news for everyone.
But in fact, the black fog in front of him was filled, and Jeno couldn't see how close the so-called very close was.
He shifted his gaze to Elise in the face, trying to find an answer on it, but quickly saw Elise's concern.
So he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't worry, our journey has just begun." ”
"Just getting started?" Elise took over the topic with difficulty: "What do you want to do here?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, lead the way." Jeno wasn't going to let her know too much.
"......" Elise frowned, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only continue to walk in silence.
But soon, the situation reappeared.
Elise suddenly stopped and told Jeno very solemnly.
"There's a powerful undead at the door of the stack, and no matter how much I try to dispel it, I haven't encountered this before."
"You used to go to the Vault Fortress a lot? What are you going to do? Jeno asked.
"That's where I got the magic relics, but I haven't explored any deeper places." Elise's anxiety didn't fade: "Are we going to take a detour?" ”
"Why take a detour, the Library Fortress is the only gateway to the city of Hyria." Jeno was slightly confused.
"But you've said that before......" Elise unconsciously covered her cheeks with her hands as she said this.
Not because of shyness, but because he was worried that Jeno would actually stab her face with nail clippers.
"After reading it, make plans and take me to the undead. If your words are true, I will not punish you. ”
It turns out that it is because of this that Elise has become a soldier, and she really values her appearance. Jeno felt that if she really disfigured her, she would definitely not let herself be better.
When Jeno came to the door of the library, he was inevitably shocked.
Huge dilapidated stone walls rise from the ground, each with many hollow patterns, and on one of the stone walls there are broken stone sculptures that can barely see the shape of a human being.
Perhaps they were the gates of the library fortress when they were intact.
These stone walls are arranged in a certain formation, quite in the style of ancient Rome, and if you fill the gaps between the stone walls, you may be able to see a familiar ancient Roman Colosseum.
But what was even more shocking was the sight in the fortress.
The cracks in the broken bricks of the fortress kept spilling out a soft blue-green light, they were as light as veil, and there were traces to follow with the naked eye, and the whole fortress was glowing!
These strange rays of light intertwine in the sky above the fortress to form a wonderful and dreamy scene like the aurora, and the black silhouette in the aurora shatters ordinary people's cognition in a bizarre way.
The ruins of the crumbling library hung above it, like a gigantic dried corpse. Large boulders floated in the air, and that was the moment they exploded and were imprisoned. It is foolish to think that God is here for them, and it is clear that they have abandoned this place long ago.
"Floating Ancient Buildings!" When he saw the ruins of the library floating in the aurora, Ezreal had only one thought: the trip was worth it.
"There must be a lot of books in there! Let's go, we're going! Ezreal leaped and slid down a steep slope that had slumped down a brick, intent on unearthing the lost civilization.
But at this moment, a cold echo made Ezreal instantly explode.
"Stand back, living man! You can't pass here. ”
"Who's talking!" Ezreal was startled and kicked off the masonry beneath his feet. Looking around, raising his gloves on guard, the nervous voice echoed in the small valley in front of the stacks.
There was a slight clash of chainmail, and the remains of a swordsman stood up from behind Ezreal.
Ezreal was taken aback on the spot, the swordsman's undead was so silently hidden that he didn't notice a ghost lying on the ground behind him.
If it had intended to attack him, he might have cooled down by now.
"I am the king's chief swordsman, and it is up to me to defend the king's glory." He picked up the broken broken sword and pointed it at Ezreal, but did not attack.
"Glory? That kind of thing doesn't exist for a long time. Ezreal took two steps back, somehow feeling that the undead with an iron shield on his left arm and a broken sword in his right hand was far more powerful than he looked.
It seems that he is completely unsure of defeating the other party.
He trusted his instincts, so he didn't rush into attack.
But Ezreal's words caused the swordsman to fall into memory and look pained.
Then he drew his sword. The belt wrapped around the hilt of the sword had long since decayed, and the broken blade was only a foot long, but its full silhouette could still be seen, glowing softly. Under the ravages and erosion of time, the broken longsword bears witness to its former glory with its afterimage.
It was a gift from the king, and at that time, his monarch was still a respectable and lovely person.
And now, he is the hateful person who has turned himself and Calista into an immortal geist, is the glory of such a person still worth defending?
At this moment, the black mist surged, and there seemed to be a pitch-black chain in his mind pulling his consciousness hard......
He suddenly felt the sword become extremely hot, roared in pain, and stabbed the sword at Ezreal uncontrollably.
And Ezreal obviously didn't expect this, even if he reacted extremely quickly and injected energy into the gem to start the jump, it would definitely be too late.
Syllable!
At the critical moment, a steel-cast arm stretched out from the oblique stab, and at the moment before the broken sword pierced into the flesh, it was held tightly, unable to advance another half point.
A burst of voice followed.
"Let's talk, Ledroth."
