Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
On the Demon Altar, countless red mist gathered from all sides, merging into a pink sphere suspended in mid-air. This evil thing, called the Pearl of Sin, is full of ** energy, like a living organ, beating rhythmically.
Poof! Poof!
Amavrey stared at the Orb of Sins and smiled maniacally, "It's almost there! Soon! As long as the ceremony is completed, our great cause will take another important step forward! ”
Suddenly, the braziers on both sides of the Demon Altar burst into flames. Pale cyan flame spikes rose high, almost licking the ceiling of the hall.
In the midst of the flames, a shadowy being, in a deep voice, "Kill Gordon Freeman!" Kill Gordon Freeman! Kill this bug that dares to refuse to embrace the abyss! ”
Amavrey's heart jumped. She is a high-ranking believer of Lauveta, and is no stranger to the Goddess of Torture's ally, the demon Maharaja Akatu T. This powerful demon who commanded countless undead actually came to order at this time, which surprised her a little.
Gordon Freeman was in the castle too?
Amalbre stepped down from the altar and into a dark, cold room. In front of the people was a personable knight, Corian Gribles, the prince of the southern aristocracy, but at this time, wearing a heavy and hideous black armor, stood in front of the stone table, and was engrossed in manipulating the two crystal balls.
In the crystal ball, it shows the wild mating meeting going on in the castle hall.
"Gordon Freeman in the castle? Why don't you sue me? Ama Furlet asked.
"Watch your tone, ma'am." With a charming smile, Keyan's words were no warmer than the cold stone chamber, "I'm not the kind of dog of the Ritter family, you and my master are allies. ”
"Humph!" Amavrey snorted.
"Gordon is just an insignificant little mage, and even if he provokes Akatu T, what does it matter to me?" I hate him too, but for now, it's a priority to make sure the ceremony goes smoothly. Besides, this mage and his beloved girl are probably already in violent copulation, and they have lost half their lives. When the ritual is over, the poor sacrifices above will all die, so why should you bother about it? ”
"Killing Gordon was just given by Lord Akatu, so you'd better be careful."
Ke Yaen shrugged helplessly, and led the heavy armor to make a clanging sound: "Okay, okay, then I'll go through the eyes of the calamity guard and come to find Gordon." But the hall is full of meat worms crammed together, and I'm afraid it will take some time. ”
The Black-Armored Samurai, who watches over the hall, is a Golem-like constructed creature powered by arcane energy. Their blood-red eyes, connected to the crystal ball in Keyan's hand, were able to transmit the images they observed.
Iron gloved hands swiped across the crystal, and the scene in the hall began to change. Corian and Amavret began to search for Gordon in the crowd.
Unfortunately, nothing.
"See, the mage has run away." A sarcastic sneer tugged at the corners of Amalbre's mouth as she looked at Coyane.
Ke Yann no longer had the pride of controlling the overall situation just now, and he was a little angry and said: "That bastard, not only did he steal the woman I fancied, but now he wants to do bad things?" I'm going to kill him, pull out his intestines, and stuff it in his mouth with my own hands! ”
"You'd better do your own thing, Knight Koyan. Just let my whip the samurai, and clean up that cunning mage. ”
"Please." Ke Yaen said coldly. It's a pity that Gordon brought Shellaya with him. If that beauty is caught by Amavrey's men, she will inevitably suffer a painful torture. It's a pity that you can still enjoy it if you go out on your own.
Separated from Coryane, Amavret returned to the hall, where a tall figure in blood-red spiked armor emerged from the light and darkness of the fire.
Amavret raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and a magical image of Gordon appeared in her palm: "Mokai, arrest this mage." He was the murderer of my brother Mendoza, and the one the King of Death had named. I want to make him taste the greatest cruelty in the world, and I want him to understand that death is sometimes an unattainable luxury. ”
"How strong is he?" The giant warrior named Mokai asked.
"The Second Ring Mage is just that. I believe that for you, a ninth-level black knight, it shouldn't be a problem. ”
"Of course, ma'am." Mokai saluted Amavre, then walked towards the stairs with heavy steps.
……
Gordon took Shella's soft and slippery little hand, and under the guidance of the faint white light of the illumination, he walked on the basement floor of the Sun Elf Castle. Ignoring the conspiracy of the Three Holy Baptists, it seems like an ordinary expedition to ruins. Especially with a beautiful girl by her side, it should be a wonderful journey.
When they came to a fork in the road, the two stopped. Gordon took out the map of the castle from his bosom and looked it up. Although the castle has been abandoned by the elves for many years, and although it has been run by the believers of Lilja for a long time, there is still a lot of unexplored land due to the complex structure underground. With the exception of a passage that connects all eight floors, there are many remaining areas that are shaded in black on the map with the word "unknown".
The noble mage of the Sun Elves who built the castle was obviously highly skilled in arcane arts, and most of the various magic traps he left behind in the castle have not yet been cracked. Even some areas of the map, painted in bright red, have the words "Castle guards infested, dangerous!" ".
"Maybe it's nice to explore it. This kind of mage who can build a castle by himself is a big dog, and the elves retreated in a hurry, and I believe that there are still a lot of good things left here that have not been taken away. ”
The evil ritual organized by the Three Holy Baptists this time was obviously fully prepared, and Gordon knew that with his own strength, it would be difficult to do anything, and he was afraid that he could only be sent to death in vain. Since there is no way to return to heaven if you have the intention to kill the thief, you can only investigate slowly in the case of ensuring safety.
"Let's go left." Gordon folded the map.
Shellaya chuckled, "Same as I thought." ”
"You rely on a woman's intuition, and I rely on the wealth of knowledge in my head." Gordon nodded his forehead and said, "Although the Sun Elves are not natural fundamentalists like the Wood Elves, and they don't live in forest tree houses, they still try to make their homes as natural as possible when they live in stone buildings. ”
He reached out and touched the wall, which was illuminated by a white magical light source, revealing the intricate ornamentation on the wall.
"Carved on the wall is the midsummer hairyman, a plant that the sun spirits often use to make incense for meditation. The Sun Elves often use the oblong leaves of the midsummer hairy tree as a sign of magic. So this road should lead to the magical area under the castle. Presumably where we can gain. ”
"You know a lot about elves." Shellaya blinked.
Gordon's understanding of elves naturally comes from the accumulation of several years of game career in "Ancient Era", fortunately, there is no difference between the elven habits of the two worlds, otherwise his information from countless players and official announcements will be useless.
"Actually," Gordon smiled evilly and leaned into Shella's ear, "I know more about the body of a half-elf girl. ”
"Gordon, you're a badass." Shellreya bit her plump and tender lower lip and gave Gordon a white look, but with a shy smile on her face, she was not angry.
As an adventurer, Shelley is also quite interested in exploring the castle. The two of them made their way to the end of the hallway.
"It's a dead end?" Gordon looked at the smooth wall in front of him, on which an oak tree was carved out of gold.
"Omalen sings the song of summer, and the garden will open for you."
Gordon read a line of Elf words carved under the oak tree. It's written in ancient elven grammar, and it's pretty awkward, and it took a lot of thought for Gordon to decipher it.
"Let me try," Shellaya said, "The Summer Song is a song that must be performed on the most important festival of the year of the elves, Midsummer Festival, and every elf has the chance, even me. ”
Shella's voice is wonderful, light and mellow with the peculiarity of a girl, and her singing voice seems to bring Gordon to the wonderful summer night where the Milky Way is sprinkled in the night sky, surrounded by lush green trees, cool breezes, and insects.
When the last song died down, the rumble of heavy stones rubbing against each other sounded. The stone wall in front of him split in two, and a faint blue light came out of the secret passage.
The two walked into the stone gate, and the stone wall behind them immediately closed slowly.
After following the light source for a short time, the two of them walked into a greenhouse with all kinds of exotic plants.
The greenhouse is at least fifteen meters high, and the curved dome is inlaid with twelve blue square crystals in a ring, which is the source of the greenhouse's light. Gordon could feel that the blue light was full of life-nourishing energy, which could completely replace sunlight and provide radiation for greenhouse plants.
On each wall of this hexagonal greenhouse, a purple metal ball hangs. Gordon could see that it was a magic device used to regulate temperature and humidity.
After countless years, the devices are still functioning, allowing the plants in the greenhouse to grow healthily.
However, most of the plants in the surrounding flower beds are still in the growth stage, and a few of them have matured, and they are just very ordinary alchemy materials, and they are not worth too much. So Gordon shifted his gaze to the center of the greenhouse, and on a meadow as soft as a velvet carpet, a huge oak tree with golden light stood tall, and its scattered branches and leaves covered almost the entire dome of the greenhouse.
