Chapter 371: Basil Lei, Toll, Strange Eyes
The second pass is not a city or a castle, but an underground mountain range that stretches for dozens of miles. Standing at the bottom of the mountain and looking up, I only saw a rugged mountain and a difficult road. But the problem is that the mountain road is just difficult to walk, and the strong Minotaur should not be afraid, and he can carry two carts over it.
However, to everyone's surprise, when they reached the entrance to the mountain, Jolob stopped the whole procession, and did not step into the seemingly ordinary foothills, but waited in silence.
"Lord Jolob, is there something wrong?" The children of the other tribes did not dare to ask, so Moriarty stepped forward and asked.
"Master, you are an outsider and don't know the 'terrible' of this mountain range." Looking down at the human mage, the old minotaur groaned for a moment, and finally whispered, "This was once the residence of the famous hero 'Basil Lei'. ”
"Basil Lei... The witch hero of the Harpys? Stunned for a moment, Moriarty suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but let out a low cry.
"Yes, it's her territory." Jolob nodded.
Speaking of the Harpy, it is also one of the indigenous races of the underground world, and legend has it that it evolved from a feather clan that was expelled to the underground from the surface world 10,000 years ago. Compared to the Dark Elves, Eye Demons, and Minotaurs, the Harpy Clan is not a strong clan, and it is not very powerful, and it has never produced many well-known extreme powerhouses. Only this Basil Lei is the only hero-level figure of the Eagle Body Clan for thousands of years, and he is also a well-known hero before the Ice Apocalypse, so Moriarty has also heard of it. I just didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary and even barren mountain range in front of me. It turned out to be the "hometown" of this strong man.
"The eagle body is a rare flying race in Nigon, although it can fight much, but it is rich in witches, good at some black witchcraft, and it is not easy to mess with." Glancing in the direction of the mountain range again, the old minotaur continued, "And Basillei is the most powerful harpy witch ever. It is said that her illusion technique is extremely terrifying, and the reality is difficult to discern, and she once trapped three extreme paths on the spot with one enemy and three poles, causing them to kill each other to death. So when she was in power. The Harpy Clan was also very arrogant for a while. ”
"And now?" Moriarty looked at Jolob's expression. Sensing that it was waiting for something, it continued.
"Now? Hehe, naturally went down. I heard that in the whole of Nigon, the eagle body only occupies two dungeons. It's pitiful. The old minotaur shook his head again. He sneered. It seems that when Basil Lei was in power. The minotaur seems to have suffered a lot of losses from the other party, so that now the juniors are still a little angry.
"It's just that in this mountain, the power of Basillei is still there. If you rush in. It's easy to get trapped inside and never get out. ”
Eventually, Jolob gave a reason for stopping the group. And if what it says is true, it seems that there must be a magic circle or facility arranged by the eagle hero in this mountain range. Otherwise, purely by virtue of the hero's residual power, it will be difficult to survive the five hundred years of ruthless time, and I am afraid it will have dissipated long ago.
"Then we..."
And just as Moriarty was about to speak, suddenly, a piercing sound sounded from the distant sky, like a dark roar.
"It's coming!"
But when he heard the sound, the old minotaur was shocked and looked at the sky urgently. Moriarty and the other minotaurs followed suit. Sure enough, three small dots had appeared in the dark sky. In an instant, the dot had turned into three flying figures, quickly and dexterously approaching the minotaur team under the mountain pass.
Suddenly, the figure came to the top of the team. After circling again, they all landed. Those were the three female Harpies.
Similar to what is recorded in the magic texts, the Harpy is indeed a human head and a bird body, with ten fingers and clawed feet, and its appearance does not match much with human aesthetics. But at this moment, the three eagle bodies in front of Moriarty's eyes, one in the center was an old woman with white hair, with an abominable face and sparse feathers; On either side of her are a pair of glamorous sisters whose appearance is almost indistinguishable, and the person has a full heart and a delicate waist; If it weren't for the pair of sharp eagle claws under him, he would be a pair of beautiful people, and there must be many admirers.
But in addition to appearance, Moriarty cares more about the dark and strange alien energy floating on the three eagles.
"Looks like it's all Harpys, right. One high-level, two middle-level, the strength should not be bad. Through the brim of his cloak, Moriarty secretly observed the sudden arrival of the trio.
"So it's you, Elder Jolobu, we haven't seen each other for another ten years."
Not paying attention to the other minotaurs in the group, the harpy old woman landed directly in front of the Torch Prophet, as if smiling. Its voice was hoarse, like rags wiping sand.
"yes, Lord Loris, long time no see." It can be seen that the old minotaur is quite jealous of the eagle-body old woman opposite, although his words are polite, but his momentum is deep, as if facing a strong enemy.
"Hehe, I'm calculating that the day is almost here, and sure enough, I met it today." The eagle-armed old woman smiled ugly again, and then turned her head to look at the minotaurs and the two carts on the side: "Are you going to the 'Dark Neon' to celebrate Lord Cleveland's birthday?" ”
"Yes."
Qiu Luobu was surprised and suspicious that the other party directly stated the purpose of his trip, but he couldn't show hostility at will, so he simply nodded.
"Don't doubt it, it's not just your 'Furnace Tribe' who have passed through the mountains these days, they're all going to do the same thing. Hum! As if she had guessed the mind of the Torch Prophet, the eagle-armed old woman snorted coldly and withdrew her gaze: "If you want to go over this mountain now, let's do it according to the old rules." ”
"Okay."
There is no meaning of nonsense, the old minotaur nodded, took out a skin bag from his arms, and handed it to the other party, it seems that the so-called old rule is the meaning of "toll". The eagle-armed old woman took the leather bag and opened it, smiled with satisfaction, and put it away carefully.
"These are sisters Lina and Rhona, and they'll show you the way this time. Rest assured, those visions in the mountains will not bother them, and they will definitely be able to get you out safely. As for me, there are other things, so I won't send them. ”
With the money for the road, the Eagle Old Woman's main task was completed, and she was ready to leave. The eagle sisters on the side flew forward with a smile and greeted the old minotaur coquettishly.
"Lord Prophet, I am my sister Lina, this is my sister Rona, don't worry, we will send your team out of the mountain quickly and well."
Compared with the withered voice of the eagle-body old woman, the voice of the eagle-body sisters is so sweet that it seems to be flowing with honey, and it is even softer and glutinous. According to some boring human aristocrats, it is the yellow oriole sound that can be called a good bed tone, which is the most private to add fun.
However, compared to those minotaur boys who were strong in blood and strong and turned red and red when they heard a few words from the Eagle Sisters, the Torch Prophet was not angry and arrogant. Even just glanced at the sisters, and the two glamorous eagles didn't dare to come forward to make noise anymore, but retreated directly to the side.
Seeing this, although the eagle-armed old woman seemed a little dissatisfied, she did not make a sound. As long as the old minotaur did not light the sacrificial fire and burned the feathers of the eagle sisters, for the sake of the face of the high toll, the old woman still did not plan to cause any conflict.
However, when she was about to get up and fly away, she suddenly spotted the figure in the Minotaur team out of the corner of her eye.
"Who is he?" Lowering her wings again, the eagle-clad old woman suddenly pointed at Moriati, who was covered by her cloak, and her voice was sharp.
"He's a guest of our clan." Seeing that the other party had finally discovered the human mage, Qiu Luobu sighed secretly and had no choice but to say.
"Huh, guest? It's not easy to be a guest of your 'Crucible Tribe'! Also, when did you become friends with the Dark Elves? Aren't you afraid that Lord Cleveland will tear you apart directly? ”
The eagle-body old woman smiled and said coldly. Moreover, judging from the appearance, only the dark elves in the underground world are closest to humans, so they are so misidentified.
"Master, he's not a dark elf!" Hearing the words of the eagle body, he began to be a little disrespectful to the Torch Prophet, and the upright d'Artagnan spoke.
"Not the Dark Elves?" Ignoring the young Minotaur's rude interjection, the harpy old woman looked at Moriarty even more suspiciously: "Take off your cloak!" Fast! ”
"Lord Jolob?"
Without a direct movement, Moriatilo turned his head sideways, in the direction of the old minotaur. This would be tantamount to throwing the problem to the Torch Prophet, and if Jolob said the same, he would admit in disguise that he would give in to the old woman the eagle, because it would be tantamount to sacrificing some of the interests and dignity of his tribal friends. But if the old minotaur refuses first, I'm afraid that this mysterious mountain will not be so good next.
"Master... Lady Loris is a direct descendant of Lord Rally... I think you'd be interested in paying a visit, too. After a moment of silence, the Torch Prophet finally spoke. Although it still found a step with rich experience, it was somewhat suppressed in momentum, and its face was a little ugly.
"That's fine. The descendants of heroes are naturally also revered and strong. Nodding, Moriarty happily removed the cloak covering his head, revealing his true face: "I am a lost traveler from the surface, Moriarty. It's an honor to meet you, a descendant of Lord Rohrer. As he spoke, he bowed lightly to the other party.
"You're... Mankind! ”
Finally, the eagle-faced old woman who saw the other side screamed. And the sister flower next to her was also surprised and incredulous.
"Hmph, Master Moriarty is not only a human, but also a master of enchantment, you better be able to respect some!" Seeing the surprised look of the three eagles, d'Artagnan couldn't help but speak again.
"Shut up!"
And this time, the old minotaur yelled directly at it.
At the same time, the eyes of the eagle-armed old woman on the opposite side suddenly became strange.
"Master of Human Enchantment?" (To be continued......)
