Chapter 341: It's better to be blocked than to be sparse
"What! Do you want to pass through the gates of hell and enter hell? Hearing what Roger said, sitting on the back of the Holy Dragon Cizel, the always elegant Saintess Sarana grew her mouth in surprise, and the Grand Magister Ian and the others also looked strange.
"The demons can go to the main plane through this hell gate, but can't we go to hell through the hell gate?" Roger, who still maintained the form of the yellow dragon, flicked the dragon's tail a little lazily, with a calm face, as if the person who said this amazing thing was not him.
"Theoretically, it works perfectly." Archmage Ian, who sat on the right shoulder of the Constructed Titan, quickly calmed down and gave an answer with a serious face. "However, we don't know what will happen on the other side of the gates of hell."
"I know a little!" Roger's eyes suddenly became fierce: "Just now, before that demon god was killed by us, I used to say that. Finally, I saw the gates of hell open in my territory. ”
The Saint Sarana was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the Seraphic Angel Michael standing quietly beside her. Noticing the holy woman's gaze, Michael nodded slightly, proving that Roger was not lying.
In fact, the Holy Maiden Sarana didn't think that Roger would lie in such a situation, but she was quite cautious to confirm it with Michael.
"In other words, on the other side of this hell's gate, is the territory of the demon god you just defeated?" Hearing this, Prince Robin looked thoughtful.
"Although it is not clear which layer of hell that demon god is, it is certain that the demigod-level avatar has fallen. The strength of that demon god will definitely drop a lot in a short period of time. Ian Archmagister thought about it, too. In this way, in order to ensure that its territory is not snooped on by other powerful devil lords. Nine times out of ten, the demon god will hide until his strength is fully restored. ”
"So now is really the best time to go to hell." Geralt, the desperate knight who had changed back from the form of the dragon warrior and whose face was far paler than usual, said, "Although there are still some dangers, such as that demon god completely ignoring the decline in his own strength, he insists on attacking us. Or maybe we're unlucky enough to run into other Devil Lords watching over that god. Otherwise, it would be much safer than usual to go to Hell now. ”
"Don't take the topic away, get back to the point!" The Virgin Sarana raised a willow brow. Glaring at Archmage Ian and Despair Knight Geralt, he looked at Roger, who was still in the form of a yellow dragon, "Although it is true that it is safer than usual to go to Hell now, this is not a reason for us to take risks!" Tell me, why do you want to go to hell? Don't tell me, you just want to go to Hell and collect some special magic materials! ”
In fact, in addition to the demonic calamity that occurs once every hundred years and gives the major forces a headache, the usual gate of hell. In fact, it is regarded by the major forces as a pretty good source of special magic materials. Whether it's the devil or the devil, it's full of treasures. What's more, there are many "specialties" in hell that are not found in the main plane.
The reason why the Demon Calamity occurs once every 100 years is actually because. This period of time every hundred years is the crest of the elemental tides. During this period, the main plane's rejection of the other planes will be much minimal. So that the demigod-level powerhouses of other planes can finally descend to the main plane.
For the demon gods and demon lords who are strong enough to fight the gods, this is also the only period. They were able to bring their demigod-level avatars into the main plane.
The demon gods want to harvest souls and make as much profit as possible. The Demon Lords, on the other hand, want to scorch the main plane. This allows the "Abyss" to annex the main plane.
Although there are a lot of contradictions between the two sides, after countless bloody battles, the demon gods and the demon lords finally obtained a result that satisfies both sides: everyone takes turns to play!
This time, the devil came. Then the next demon disaster will come to the devil.
And except for the time period of the Demon Calamity, the rest of the time, the Gates of Hell could not let the overly powerful demons pass through. Not to mention a demigod, even a legendary-level demon clan will have to spend a lot of effort to come to the main plane, and it may not be able to succeed. Therefore, the vast majority of the members are only legendary dragon knights who can guard the gates of hell.
Of course, relying only on a dragon knight to guard it, although it can ensure that those high-level, top-level, and even demons who have entered the legendary realm can be killed in the first time, but that is a massive number of low-level demons is not something that dragon knights can all eliminate.
In order to prevent mid- and low-level demons from escaping the gates of hell, the dragon knights often cooperate with local forces to ensure that no demon clan is allowed to leave the gates of hell safely.
And the reward that the dragon knights give to these forces is often the special "materials" obtained after killing the demons.
Roger also learned these secrets from Prince Robin after he successfully became a dragon knight.
The declining elves, the sparsely populated Tower of the Nine Rings, and the undead kingdom are all able to stalemate with the Griffin Dynasty, which has repeatedly tried to dominate the continent, because they can continuously obtain a large amount of magic materials from the gates of hell.
It is precisely because it is profitable that the major forces will honestly help the dragon knights to guard the gates of hell. Otherwise, how could the leaders of the major forces be willing to do this drudgery.
It is precisely because of this that Her Majesty, who is not yet aware of Roger's goal, will make fun of Roger with these words.
Hearing the Holy Maiden's words, Huang Long, who was in the air, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and was about to answer, but he suddenly closed his mouth again.
After looking at the Saintess Sarana and the others with a confused expression, Huang Long slowly descended from the sky, and a faint golden light gradually appeared on his body.
Wrapped in golden light, Huang Long's figure shrank rapidly, and soon turned back into Roger.
It's just that Roger's current dress is completely different from usual. He was dressed in a rather luxurious golden robe. In his left hand, he held the Natural Private Grammar Staff, and four elemental orbs that constantly emitted light quietly circled up and down the Natural Private Grammar Staff. There was nothing left above the right hand. But Roger had a sheathed sword on his right shoulder.
Most importantly, the momentum that Roger shows. It is still the peak of the demigod level when it was in the form of the Yellow Dragon.
Roger, whose figure was slowly falling, waved his left hand lightly, and the natural private grammar staff lit up slightly, and a "white cloud" quickly took shape, catching the falling Roger.
Both the green dragon and the yellow dragon have special abilities, soaring through the clouds!
After sitting down directly on the white clouds, Roger looked at the Holy Maiden Sarana and the others, who were shocked by his hand.
Touching his chin with some hesitation, Roger slowly spoke: "Everyone knows that the reason why the demonic calamity cannot be stopped is precisely because of these seven spatial cracks named the Gates of Hell. ”
Somewhat surprised, he glanced at the white clouds that were holding Roger. The Holy Maiden Sarana and the others all nodded, and the expressions on their faces became more and more puzzled.
"Even if we destroy this hell gate, over time, another natural rift in space will still form in the vicinity. When the time comes, the demons will still be able to rely on this spatial rift to establish another hell gate again. Roger said with a very calm expression.
And the saint Sarana and the others also nodded again. After all, what Roger said, they all knew very well. It is precisely because the Gates of Hell cannot be completely destroyed that the major forces have to build various fortifications near the Gates of Hell. to block the invasion of demons.
Not far from the Holy Maiden Sarana, Adrian, who was standing alone on the ground, glanced at the gate of hell in the distance with some confusion.
Adrian's dragon companion, the crystal dragon Horta, was corrupted by the power of death contained in Mephistopheles' legendary magic "Silent Winter", although he was lucky not to die. However, Otta's strength also directly slipped to the tenth order. Moreover, the badly injured Ota may not have the ability to enter the legendary realm again.
As a result, Adrian is no longer an official dragon knight. Now he is in the same place as the Saint Salana. In fact, he participated in this discussion in the name of the griffin royal family and the retired dragon knight.
Also, Despair Knight Geralt's dragon companion Howard the Rusty Dragon. is also due to the continuous erosion of the power of death, and gradually appeared semi-undead. In order to avoid being completely corrupted by the power of death, the dragon zombies became dragons. Howard the Rusty Dragon is being treated by the priests of the Virgin Sarana.
However, judging from the looks of those priests, it is clear that Howard's situation is not optimistic. In this way, Howard the Rusty Dragon will probably break away from the dragon knight's queue sooner or later.
Coupled with the Red Dragon Knight Nack who died in battle, in this demonic disaster, the Dragon Knights have already lost three people.
However, compared to the previous demon disasters, the attrition of the Dragon Knights in this demon disaster is already less. Therefore, except for Adrian and Geralt, who are the parties involved, everyone else who has known that there will be such a day for a long time does not have much sadness on their faces.
"So, since I can't destroy the gates of hell, I want to see if I can rely on the magic seal to ......" Roger was still talking, but his words were interrupted by Archmage Ian.
"It won't work." Archmage Ian shook his head with a regretful expression, "This method, the Tower of the Nine Rings has actually tried it once. ”
Seeing that Roger and the others were looking at him, the Grand Magus Ian also explained: "This matter should also be recorded in the historical texts of the Dragon Knights. At that time, the necromancers had just left the Tower of the Nine Rings, and Master Max, the owner of the Tower, who was suffering from the great loss of strength of the Tower of the Nine Rings, had also proposed to seal the gates of hell. After some heated debate, the tower owners finally agreed to the proposal. After all, the Tower of the Nine Rings, which has suffered a great loss of strength, should give priority to restoring its strength rather than continuing to study various experiments related to the demons. However, this proposal ultimately brought a greater loss to the Tower of the Nine Rings than the departure of the necromancers. ”
"With the strength of Master Max and the others, it was naturally very easy to completely seal the gate of hell within the jurisdiction of the Nine Rings Tower. And with the sealing of the Gate of Hell, the demons no longer try to come to the main plane from the Gate of Hell within the jurisdiction of the Tower of the Nine Rings, which makes the magicians of the Tower of the Nine Rings live a very peaceful life. Speaking of this, Archmage Ian's expression became solemn, "However, when the demon plague came again, Master Max and them realized what a mistake they had made!" ”
"Because the Gate of Hell has been sealed, the demonic energy that should have poured into the main plane through the Gate of Hell has accumulated in the seal. As time passed, the demonic energy also increased, and finally when the demonic disaster came, the seal finally collapsed. Archmage Ian slowly closed his eyes, "At the same time, because the seal was directly breached, the hell gate that was opened at that time was far more open than the usual hell gate, and as a result, the demonic tyrant Estak forcibly descended on the main plane with his true body......"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
The Demon Tyrant is a demon on the same level as the Demon God. Such a terrible demon actually managed to enter the main plane in its true body, you can imagine how much disaster it will cause!
"In order to deal with the demonic tyrant Estark, the tower masters of the Nine Rings led by the archmage Master Max have cast various forbidden ......spells at the cost of their lives," the archmage Ian sighed, "After killing twelve archmages including Master Max in a row, the Tower of the Nine Rings finally repelled the demonic tyrant Estark. But it was also because of this battle that the Tower of the Nine Rings collapsed, and even the defected necromancers were unable to chase and kill. If it weren't for the rapid rise of the Grand Magister of Alcatel, the Tower of the Nine Rings would probably have become the dust of history. ”
Speaking of this, Archmage Ian stared at Roger with blazing eyes: "So, this path won't work!" Please don't try it! If you really want to go your own way! So! I'm going to do my best to stop you! ”
Looking at the archmage Ian who was ready to go, the corners of Roger's mouth twitched, and he said with a bitter face: "You misunderstood, Master Ian!" I didn't know there was such a thing, but I've had so many cataclysms in history that I don't believe anyone has tried to seal the gates of Hell. Since the Gates of Hell are still safe, it is clear that the seals of the predecessors have failed, so I am not going to try to seal the Gates of Hell. ”
"So, what exactly do you want to do?" Looking at his expression, Ian Archmagister obviously didn't believe Roger's words, and asked with some half-belief.
"Ahem." Clearing his throat, Roger smiled and uttered something that shocked everyone.
"I want to fortify the gates of hell!" (To be continued.) )
