Chapter 172: The Old Capital of Thrandir (8)
"Lord Fira. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Tobia's voice caught Fira's attention, and he turned his head to see the mercenary leader's solemn eyes.
"What's the situation? Captain Tobia? ”
"That's right, Lord Fira, you said before that there is a 'temple' around here, right? But the group of cultists of the Dark Rite Church before, they seem to be going in that direction, will these fogs be made by those cultists, and if we continue to act, will they collide with each other......"
Speaking of which, even Tobias. Caede didn't finish his words, but the hidden meaning of his words was already very clear.
In his heart, the mercenaries of the "Vine" mercenary group may not be able to deal with those black-armored knights.
Or rather, except for his Tobias. Outside of Cayde, there is no one to deal with.
The reason why the front was able to win was entirely because of the strength of the two legendary powerhouses in front of them, and it was the two of them who solved everything.
However, as long as you think about it, you can understand that those black-armored knights will definitely not be the full strength of the other party, and it is not even certain whether they are a "small part".
In case, face each other head-on again, Tobias. Caeder didn't think that these two adults would go out of their way to take care of their safety, and it was not certain that the other party had the idea to protect the members of the vine mercenary group.
In the end, originally, their vine mercenary group was hired to do the protection mission, but now the situation has completely reversed.
If it were at first, they could pat their chests and say they would be able to protect Fira.
But now, why do professionals who can usually be counted as elite median rank have to be careful now, so as not to lose their lives?
If they continue to move in that direction, they will definitely suffer a lot of losses, and although the mercenaries are taking money for their lives, they will not really exchange their lives for it.
But now, in the absence of a way out, I can only do as these two Excellencies instruct.
Thankfully, the two had no intention of directing their movements.
Seem....... Don't these two have a good sense of direction?
However Tobias. Cade didn't know that neither Clary nor Evra, who was in charge of guiding the way, was something he should have fully trusted.
Or rather, it used to be, and it is no longer so.
And perceiving what Captain Tobia meant, the corners of Fira's mouth hooked up a smile:
"Don't worry, Captain Tobias, I won't interfere in your decision-making when I don't know where to go."
Fila spoke out for the second time to Jean Tobia. Cade nodded secretly.
"I see, Lord Fira, we'll figure it out."
Tobias also saluted very respectfully, and said nothing.
After Fira and Silkward showed their strength, Tobias. Caede knew that these two legendary powerhouses, who hired them at the beginning, were definitely not for protection or something, as he claimed, did they still need to do anything to protect their strength?
Even, they will enter this secret realm, it is all the handiwork of these two.
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental to enter this secret realm?
Of course, there is no need for Tobia to provoke each other while knowing the strength of these two, and in a dangerous situation, they still need the protection of Phila and Lord Silkward.
He was sure that the "temple" mentioned by His Excellency Fira was the purpose of the other party, and that the other party should have gone to find something.
Naturally, Tobia was not stupid enough to ask, this is the secret of an employer who is stronger than them, they just need to be silent, if they have the opportunity, they can go out, and even get some benefits in this secret realm, so that's it.
Look at Tobias. Phila smiled playfully at the back of Cade's departure.
In fact, there must be more than one force going to that kind of mage temple, before coming to this secret realm, he had already conducted some investigations on the strength wandering around, if his investigation results were not too biased, then, on the human and demon side, there were at least six or seven forces combined, and there were three who had already entered here.
If it takes a little longer, you should be able to find the figure of that large number of forces, and if the other party is impulsive, you can even see the results of early attrition.
Naturally, Fira and Sylward didn't want to go up and fight hard, and force a way out, it would be best to find a secret passage to the bottom of the mage temple than to be hard, as long as they could activate this secret passage, then, at least for a short time, they wouldn't have to worry about conflicts with those forces.
What's more, our mercenary captain also has his own ideas?
Thinking of this, Fira raised her head and looked ahead, under the light of the early morning sun, the gray fog around her seemed to be thicker and thicker, and these gray fog was full of the ruins of the entire Mage City, if anyone could look at it from afar, they could find that this gray fog seemed to be the only huge cloud in the vast sky, very abrupt.
.......
Before the Temple of Yaofa.
One by one, the figures stopped, and the pair of eyes peeking through the hood of the white robe scanned back and forth at the tall building in front of them, standing proudly above the ruins of the square.
It is 11 or 2 meters high, and at the top is a vertical structure similar to an obelisk unique to the mage's creation, and in the center of the obelisk, which has still stood tenaciously under the erosion of time, is carved with the mage's emblem.
It represents the mark of glory of the previous generation of the goddess of the magic net, Xilun.
Even after hundreds of years, the surrounding buildings have almost collapsed, but the mage temple still stands proudly.
Although the old traces of time cannot be concealed, its former glory and splendor can also be felt now.
And the monsters that originally inhabited here were also cleaned up by this group of people, and the bright red of the mutilated pieces of flesh and blood could make anyone who saw this scene feel uncomfortable.
"Be on guard, no one else is allowed to enter here, no matter what you want to come in, just wipe it out!"
Cold, mechanical, unrecognizable voices rang out.
Hearing this voice, everyone nodded silently, and then, one of the white-robed figures led by him turned his head and made a gesture to a few white-robed people beside him, seeing the other party's movements, among the nearly fifty white-robed people, a team of nearly twenty people immediately divided into a team of nearly twenty people, followed him, and the others quickly walked into the ruins of the temple, drew their weapons from under their robes, and scattered and disappeared into the square, forming a secret and strong line of defense.
Seeing this scene, the leader nodded, then turned around, and also found a hidden place to hide and be on guard.
And in Thrandil, opposite this Yaofa Temple, in front of a hidden underground passageway, there were other figures.
Knights wrapped in pitch-black heavy armor.
and, a black-robed mage-like Dark Rite Bishop.
"Savis, and you, all of you, go down together, remember, no matter what happens, don't run around, there are still unexpired spell traps in the ruins to keep this place safe, until we come out, no matter what you see, don't act rashly. As for the troublemakers, whether they are humans or demons! Don't let it go, don't kill it, our great faith is the first goal, and no one is allowed to hinder and destroy it, understand!? ”
"Yes!"
A low, loud voice spread through the pathway
"Shall we go down from here? Evra, you're not mistaken, are you? ”
Looking at the pitch-black underground passage in front of them, exuding an inexplicable sense of coldness, the mercenaries of the vine mercenary group couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and the tension on their faces revealed their emotional instability.
It's no wonder that they are completely unfamiliar with this lost secret realm, and the internal structure of Thrandil, once the city of the sky and the capital of mages.
However, one thing they do know is that this is definitely not a good place.
After all, one only had to look at the brute force destruction of the surrounding walls, and the blackened door in front of them, to know that they were currently in a ruin after a battle.
And, it seems, it's still a battle between monsters.
They didn't think any human would have big claws that could scratch deep marks in the wall.
Also, traces of traps.
Almost all of them are traces of this.
"What is this?"
For adventurers and mercenaries, unknown locations are not necessarily beneficial, although they often venture into places such as abandoned tombs and ruins, but most of them have already been explored, but because of this, they understand better than others that sometimes those ruins are terrifying.
Traps everywhere, and golem golems that lie asleep one moment and wake up the next to attack you.
Although it is slightly easier to deal with than the undead such as lichs and ghosts, these puppet golems created by mages often have strong basic qualities.
Such a puppet golem is not a big trouble for these people.
If they could, they wouldn't want to fight the golems.
"Don't you want to find some secret treasure?"
Hearing the other party's inquiry, Fira next to him yawned in place, and Evra, as the main owner, spoke.
"If that's right, it's been a long time since we've found something good. In the depths of this mausoleum, there should be a secret treasure of the same level as the Yaofa Temple.
"This ......"
Hearing Avra's rhetorical question, the mercenaries all looked at each other, but their hearts told them that they did think so, and there was no need to say anything more.
"But, Evra ......"
Tobias. Cade frowned, and was about to speak.
And at this moment, a voice came from behind him:
"Commander, it's okay for us to enter now, right?"
Hearing this voice, everyone was stunned.
Then everyone turned their heads in surprise, and saw Clary standing there, looking at Tobias with a slight smile.
But just when everyone thought it was over, Clary struck again:
Subject is Fira:
"Your Excellency, you should tell us some truths, right? What exactly are you looking for here? Shouldn't you be honest with us? ”
"Clary ......"
Hearing Clary's words, everyone couldn't help frowning, but they didn't want to say much.
In fact, they also knew that the reason why Fila continued to move forward even though she knew that she might encounter the cultists must be for the sake of something in the ruins of the temple.
Perhaps, they are all headed for the so-called secret treasure.
It's just that, under the pressure of the two legends, most of the mercenaries don't have any other ideas.
The reason is simple, convincing people with force is universal in the world.
No matter what Fira's real reason is, as a legendary powerhouse, they have a voice that they can't match, and everyone will not disobey him, and the strength he showed before is enough to shut everyone up.
It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that there was a guy who was not afraid of death here?
However, no one has come out against Clary's actions, and in fact they are curious.
It will definitely not be so simple to be able to let two legendary powerhouses come here to find something, maybe it is still some legendary secret treasure. Before, they were afraid to ask. And now, since there are people who are willing to take the lead, they are naturally happy to enjoy it.
Anyway, it's not yourself who is unlucky.
"It has nothing to do with you, young man."
In response to Clary's question, Phila smiled and gave the answer that everyone expected:
"Do I need you to do what I want to do? At least you have the strength to be on an equal footing with me. ”
The contempt in Fira's voice was palpable.
A full villain posture.
If the protagonist is changed, it must be the development of working hard, experiencing danger and suffering, and returning to Fira to slap him in the face.
However, I'm sorry, this is not a bloody drama, and the position of the protagonist is different.
"What you have to do is very simple, now that you have discovered the temple, go in, and do whatever you like until I finish my work, and I don't need you to protect me before I finish my work or anything like that. I'm not going to stop you from doing anything you want, I'm not obligated to tell you what I'm here for, and you don't need to know, take your silver bracelet and wander, boy. ”
Fira looked at each other with playful eyes.
After the other party heard his words, his face was extremely ugly.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that the followers of Ciric more or less wore some silver ornaments to show their submission to Ciric, and among them, silver bracelets and silver bracers were the most common. (To be continued.) )
