"From here, there's a drawbridge." Hadava pointed deeper into the cave. They walked for another half hour, the air getting more and more humid, and it was filled with an inexplicable fishy smell. Under the influence of these harsh conditions, Hadawa's memory also began to decline. And this terrain is too weird, like a labyrinth, I don't know why the previous lords built the underground tunnel like this, could it be a dwarven ruin fanatic? That would be too bad, I've heard that there are brass ballista carts in the Dwarven Ruins that can take out an entire team of heavily armored swordsmen without much effort.

Obviously, this can't be the remnants of a glorious dwarven civilization, but it's still full of traps. After walking a few steps, a composite pegboard around the corner almost killed Hadawa. If Bernardo hadn't dragged him back, I'm afraid only necromancy would have moved him.

"Shure is on ......" Hadava couldn't help but pray again, and this was the third time, which made Bernardo already a little irritable.

"If it weren't for me, you'd have died five times when you came here today......" Bernardo squinted at Hadava.

"Thank you, thank you......" Hadava immediately thanked the young man next to him, and a similar conversation had taken place after the previous three prayers, and every scene of the déjà vu was repeated.

"Alright, no thanks, look," Bernardo pointed in one direction, the faint flickering sunlight clearly visible.

After passing through a natural passage made of stalactites, everything suddenly opens up in front of you.

"It's pretty good." Bernardo couldn't help but admire.

In front of you is a huge underground canyon. There is only one lone suspension bridge within a few hundred steps, and a huge hollow can be seen on the opposite side.

There are many glowing ores on both sides of the canyon, which look like stars in the night sky in the slightest sunlight. Bernardo looked closely, and could find faint carvings and chisel marks. It seems that it was once a thriving mining farm, but it is now abandoned.

"Whew~" Hadava took a deep breath, he was fed up with the bloody, rancid and humid air in the passage, and now he looked comfortable, the wind blowing in the canyon, a burst of coolness.

"It looks like no one has walked this road, lately." Hadava took a closer look at the handrails of the drawbridge, which were covered in dust and appeared to be evenly distributed. The suspension bridge itself is also very sturdy, with several layers of composite planks layered on top of each other with the help of iron chains and nooses, which are blown by strong winds without any shaking.

"Let's go." Bernardo stepped lightly on the suspension bridge and walked steadily. Hadava followed.

"Well, that's not the right thing." Walking smoothly to the other end of the suspension bridge, Hadava couldn't help but say.

"What?" Bernardo frowned.

"In the novel, after the protagonists walk across this kind of suspension bridge, they will always encounter some ...... in the way"

At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in the cave in front of me—

"Imperials! Ambush! The leader was stunned for a moment, and then pulled out his sword and rushed towards the two. The rest of the people drew their bows and arrows, and several sharp arrows whizzed in.

"Your prediction is quite accurate." Bernardo taunted again, and at the same time unleashed two balls of flame magic, ablating the sharp arrows that came at him.

"Magician?" The Stormcloaked soldier who rushed to the front was stunned for a moment, then immediately assumed another position, standing his sturdy shield in front of him, and his entire upper body hiding behind the shield, charging towards Bernardo.

"The choice is right, and the sense of battle is not bad, but it's a pity that ......" Bernardo sighed, his hands condensed again, and the powerful magic energy burst out, "It's still too weak!" ”

A huge thunderstorm erupted, directly knocking the shield-wielding soldiers to the ground, and the conductivity of the surrounding metal ore also caused the huge power of lightning to be transmitted along the wall in an instant, so that the shooters who were about to shoot the second wave of arrow rain were also turned to the ground. However, Bernardo quickly stopped so that these people were not blackened by the powerful electricity.

"I have nothing to do with the war between you, please let me pass." Bernardo, having done all this, stood with his hands in his hands and looked down at the soldier who had fallen in front of him.

"Ahem...... You can go, but that Imperial soldier behind you, must stay! "The other party seems to be just an ordinary magician, but his strength is super strong, and there is really no need to provoke him on his side. But the damned enemy in Imperial armor beside him would never let him get out of here!

"He's mine...... Guard, mage's guard. Bernardo casually made up a lie, "This armor was changed when Heergen was passing by, and there were a lot of dead people there, wouldn't it be appropriate to replace his original set of rags with a set of armor mass-produced by the Empire." ”

"Dead people?" The soldier paused for a moment, "What nonsense are you talking about, it's the garrison of the Imperial Army!" What happened to His Majesty Ufrik? ”

"Believe it or not, it's being attacked by dragons." Bernardo spread his hands, "As for what you said about Oufrik...... If it was the man with the cloak and his mouth gagged and silent, he seemed to have fled in the chaos while he was being attacked by the dragon. ”

"Escape, Your Majesty is safe......" The soldier's tone was relieved, but he immediately realized that something was wrong: "What? Dragon? What nonsense are you talking about, have you seen too many myths and stories of mages? ”

"Look at this." Bernardo lifted the forearm of the robe (seized in the torture room), and the burn marks on it were clearly visible (in fact, it was a camouflage of partial dragon skin surgery), "Such a severe burn, the mages can't treat it on their own, do you think it's caused by ordinary flames?" ”

“…… But this is really ......," muttered the soldier in front of him, but it could be seen that his heart had changed from unwavering at the beginning to hesitant now.

Just as Bernardo was about to lure the soldier into letting him go, he was rudely interrupted. Inside the cave, a member of another team who had heard the movement outside and went out to check on it immediately interrupted Bernardo when he saw Hadava standing behind Bernardo: "Vice-captain! Don't believe his nonsense! Behind him was Hadawa, a fellow of Captain Larov, who I had told the captain when I went to Brookwood that the blacksmith in their town, Alwo, was the uncle of the Imperial lackey, and they looked almost the same! ”

"Hmm......" Hearing this, the surrounding Stormcloak soldiers immediately stared at the two of them with an unkind look.

"Well......" Bernardo sighed, "it seems that the negotiation has failed." I didn't expect you to be recognized. ”

"Bastard! How dare you deceive us! Damn mage! Damn Imperial lackeys! The man known as the vice-captain yelled angrily, struggled to his feet, and stabbed the young man in front of him with a sword in his hand with great anger!

P.S asked everyone, do you think I wrote this book more towards the role of the trajectory, or do I intersperse more background on the side of the old roll, so that the character of the protagonist in the book is more fleshed out?
