Chapter 17: Farewell Without Saying Goodbye

The preoccupied Condin was soon drunk by Roland.

The Raven is a half-undead template. Roland, who no longer relied on blood and some internal organs, was immune to most poisons, and alcohol was no exception.

Roland silently cleaned up the table, then went straight back to his room.

Roland didn't say a word along the way. Because at this time, Elukado was not hiding in Roland's shadow.

Although she was a little sorry for her, in order to save time, when Elukado rested for a while, Roland directly asked her to break the seal that separated the underground world from the ground.

The snow is still in a week's time. If you don't hurry, chances are that by the time the monsters come up, the Templars will be gone.

There is one thing that needs to be taken into account here, and that is the vigilance of the underground race.

Three hundred years ago, the Underground Seed, sealed underground by Esther's barrier, made many attempts to break through the vast barrier separating the ground from the ground and return to the surface - but they apparently failed.

This barrier, which only blocks the underground races, is too strong and delicate. After all, it is an enchantment designed by Esther himself, which is interlocking, and the handling of various emergencies and emergencies is also very timely and perfect. Over the years, the mountain dwellers have even forgotten about the dangers of underground farming, and have even developed various businesses for adventurers who go underground.

Although most adventurers have never returned, venturing to the underground world is still the best proof of an adventurer's comprehensive strength. All the adventurers who can return from the underworld, if they still stick to their path, as long as they don't die, end up becoming legends in the bard's mouth. And the adventures of the underworld are quite a glorious stroke of their legends.

After all, the laws of the underground world are not the same as those on the ground. Many of the weapons of the underworld can easily cut through the witchcraft of wizards, and most of the sorcery and magic are of little use against the armor of the underworld.

In the very beginning. The Underworld is the buffer of the Gaia Wall. The Wall of Gaia draws the power of dusk from the outside world and filters it into the Wall of Aum. The Wall of Aum is transformed into mana and sprinkled throughout the world - this is the most important cycle of the world of Faenz.

And the underworld has not received the magic of cleansing from the beginning. From the beginning, the Underworld has served as a prison and laboratory for the Hindsight and the Tree of Life, a testing ground for the use of some of the weakest Twilight Dependents for analysis. They wanted to create something that had the power of twilight, but at the same time had reason. But sadly, they all failed.

The most famous of the deformed beings they created were the Brain Eaters and Isdemon. The former is fine, but he has become a brutal predator, and although he does not have the power of dusk, he at least has reason; And the latter, although he had a trace of the power of dusk, simply threw himself into the arms of dusk after the sage left. He became a twilight dweller made by the Tree of Life himself.

The battle of dusk thousands of years ago was so sudden, that the two Sages hurried to the outside before they could destroy the experimental life, so that the strange and deformed creatures such as the well-behaved Brain Eater and Isdemon, the Spider Walker, and the Splinter survived. However, the lives of the dark elves and minotaurs are the underground world that they fled into in the battle of the gods.

Until three hundred years ago, the underworld was a semi-public sanctuary. After all, spellcasters like priests and wizards druids lose their ability to cast spells once they enter the underworld, and no one cares about them.

However, at this time, there was a spider walker lord who joined forces with the Aetherwalkers, the Minotaurs, and some wurms to start a war that was not big or small. The result of the war was that Faraja was half crippled, so much so that one-seventh of Fararuo's territory was swallowed by Suze, and one-third of the western territory was occupied by Banza - of course. Later, the territory became part of Karar.

Since then, Fararah has been in a state of weakness, which has only now been relieved.

In the previous battle of the White Tower, Fararu was given a share of the White Tower's land. as well as the buildings above. Of course, Fararo will not be able to receive it until after June. Until then, the land was borderless, and no one could monopolize what was on it.

Such a treacherous treaty is, of course, the king of the mountain people today

And even if the king of the mountain people today doesn't care about it. However, thanks to the efforts of the king of the mountain people, the enchantment sorcery they stole from the White Tower has basically evolved into enchantment sorcery in the style of Fararuo. These wizarding groups, whose only duty in non-war times is to maintain the enchantment, have formed an independent division known as the "Forbidden Organs". Routine maintenance of enchantments is performed every day.

With this level of close monitoring and maintenance, there is no way for the barrier to be a problem.

Even as far as Roland knows. The Underground Seeds have long since given up on attacking the surface through the Great Rift. After five years of trying, they came to the desperate conclusion that even finding a way to teleport or make a deal with the devil was more feasible than sprinting into the enchantment.

However, the underground world is full of unstable magic infected by dusk, and the underground species have no witchcraft inheritance, so it is difficult to teleport up. If you make a deal with the devil, you have to worry about being sold, and the best way to return to the underworld is only here in the Great Rift.

If the underground species are not stupid, when they find that the barrier in front of the big crack has suddenly disappeared, the first impression in their minds is definitely not "the barrier is wrong", but it should be "I feel that this special meow must be deceitful" or something like that.

When they are sure that the barrier is really wrong and has begun to be slowly repaired, it will take a lot of time to send the vanguard army to discuss the alliance and then send troops to occupy the area around the Great Rift.

Even if the underground species are superior to the above-ground races in terms of natural attributes, this does not mean that they can completely ignore the harsh winter of Carral. However, their resistance allows them to at least hold most of their combat power in the snow - and that's enough.

More than ninety percent of the pure-blooded humans in Fararah are humans. Other races are not counted, as far as human beings are concerned, they will definitely not be able to withstand this harsh winter.

Without the protection of the wizarding order and priests of Fararuo, only two hours of exposure to the snow is required. Because of the reminder of the future blue prince Xiao Rice, the royal capital of Fararaj is probably not in danger. But if the army of the people of the underground invaded in many directions at the same time, Fararuo's army would inevitably be unable to rush to the rescue. At that point, the only ones who could be relied on were these Templar coalitions.

However, what was most lacking in Roland's plan was time. He had to get the underworld to crush the army before the snow stopped. If the snow had stopped and the Templars had left Faral, they would not have been able to turn back and fight the underground monsters if they weren't stupid.

In order to save food, the Templars and priests had not been active for more than half a month. Priests are okay, especially for knights, their combat effectiveness will undoubtedly drop significantly.

In this case, it's tough to face the murderous underground monsters - as long as they don't have their brains frozen stupid, they can't do such a thing.

And if they were still staying in the village at this time, the result would have been different.

People eat and drink to support you, you eat three people's meals alone, and now you are really used, don't you dare? It's no wonder that the mountain people don't drive these knights out. No matter how bold the Templars were, they would not dare to attack so many innocent people, and besides, the elders of the mountain people were righteous gods themselves, and an important position of Lorda Khan was the guardian of the mountain people.

The sons of Roda Khan were all natives of the mountains, and it was impossible for them not to resist the invasion of the underground species. And if only these mountain dwellers were in battle, and all the Templars were pretending to be deaf and dumb...... Not only the mountain people of Falara are unwilling, but even their own gods will not agree.

Everyone knows that the Templars are the face of the gods.

The gods won't allow others to poke their backs and scold their knights, but they won't allow knights to go out and lose their faces.

Taking a step back, if the knights are really thick-skinned and can't come out, then once the battle line can't bear to collapse and collapse, they will have nowhere to hide in the face of these monsters alone.

So Roland didn't delay at all, and directly sent Elukado.

This must be done in a hurry. At least it was much more urgent than Roland's rush to Banza.

Except for Roland's Lacontine, which he was temporarily preparing to put on hold, Roland's short-term job was to launch the invasion of the underground people, spread fever along the way, collect the blood of powerful beings to cultivate the plague, get his share of the huge wealth, join Claudia and Joseph, go to the cemetery of the White Wolf Lord, and finally go to Banza to get Cyla out.

Of these things, the end of the snow season is a clear dividing line.

Claudia is now with Anvilia and them, and when the snow season is over, Clavi will take them to Roland; Joseph, on the other hand, could only go out after the snow season was over.

Theoretically, it would be best for Roland to stay until the end of the snow season and then leave under the pretext of "missing in the battle with the Underworld". But Roland was a little worried that he might not have enough time.

Moreover, Roland did not forget Elukado's warning.

Although Roland, the rats of the Society of Truth, was too ripe to be cooked, Roland also understood how difficult they were.

The most shameful thing is that they are not considered cultists now, and Roland can't kill them openly if he doesn't want to be wanted.

But they're at least human, and they can't make it through the snow either.

So, in order to save time, Roland was ready to make a risky decision-

Roland decided to brave the snow and force his way. He gambled that he would be able to get to the next place to rest before he was completely frozen.

It wasn't Roland's impulse. Anyway, if Roland prays for injury, he will definitely not die. As for the biting cold wind, it is regarded as a tempering of will.

At least although Roland is not grinning now when he falls on the ground and scratches his skin like he did at the beginning, if someone cuts off an arm and pulls his head or something, Roland will still be so painful that he will lose his ability to resist.

There is also a need for growth.

There's still a lot of growth to be done.

In the midst of the falling snow, Roland glanced back at Contin's home, then pulled his hood on. (To be continued.) )
