Chapter 25: Escape

The little guy in front of him is not very small, but he is a "real" devil born directly from the pit of hell, and is not some other depraved or corrupted creature. According to the records, these insidious and slick little creatures play a pivotal role in Hell's work to corrupt the souls of mortals.

Since the main job is to corrupt mortals, it is not surprising that they appear on the main plane. It is precisely because these guys are often given the task of going to the main material plane and creating even greater depravity by various ingenious means. Therefore, most of the main plane creatures have a relatively clear understanding of it.

"Be careful, everyone, this guy may be the magic pet of a mage. The mage was probably nearby. Barrett, who said this, especially reminded, "Usually a mage who can summon a little devil as a demon pet has at least level 7 or more strength. ”

After hearing Barrett's reminder, the group immediately felt like a great enemy, and even the action of cleaning up the undead slowed down. The already not very dense formation also spread out under the careful movement of everyone--mages above level 5 can have a powerful aoe spell like the fireball technique. In an underground tunnel like the one now, even a fireball technique is the rhythm that makes Barrett and his party annihilate.

"Even such a little devil can easily use his magic-like ability to break through my spell resistance. So how strong is the guy behind the scenes? Sometimes people who don't know anything tend to be happier, and Barrett now feels like he knows too much.

"Whoosh" Bena, who couldn't stand the pressure in the solemn atmosphere, took the lead in attacking the little devil. Maybe it's because Bena's archery skills aren't up to par, or maybe it's because the anchor-type arrows affect the degree of flight. I saw that the little devil easily dodged the sharp arrow, twisted the tail with the hook and thorn, and knocked the arrow down from the shaft of the arrow.

Just as everyone was preparing for the next possible stormy blow, the little devil who probably didn't expect to be attacked was also startled. It flapped its wings and disappeared into the darkness in an instant, and even with dark vision it was impossible to see where it had gone.

The relieved anvil put down the war hammer he had just been holding high: "Damn, this is actually a fox fake tiger guy." I'm so careful just now. ”

"Excuse me! I guess I was thinking too much just now. Barrett, who had chopped down the last zombie to the ground, formally apologized to his teammates.

If it hadn't been for Bena's missed arrow, his own group might have been fooled by that little devil. After a long time, maybe the pursuers behind will be in front of you, and at that time, I'm afraid that the mission will fail, not to mention that everyone will have to waste a chance to resurrect!

After dealing with the undead, in order to hurry, the adventurers hurried on the road without searching for anything on the stinking corpses. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the broken copper and iron on those disgusting corpses are not worth much.

Although the next trip is not very smooth, it also seems to be thrilling. Although he was chased by a certain black pudding (acid mud monster) and ran like a lost dog, Barrett finally got rid of the guy that low-level adventurers didn't want to meet with the noodles with a slight advantage.

"Finally, it's finally out." When he finally passed through the iron fence to breathe in the fresh air outside, Barrett, who was running wildly with noodles on his shoulder, gasped for breath - although the halfling was similar to a schoolboy, it still had a lot of weight with the equipment and bits and pieces on his body.

Under the dark night sky, Barrett estimated that his party had been underground for 12 hours. This entrance to the sewer is located in the northwest corner of the civilian area of Karada. Perhaps because it is on the edge, more than half of the nearby houses are idle.

As far as the eye can see, the doors of many houses hang crookedly, and the alleys are full of fallen leaves, all of which show the desolation of this place in the bleak autumn wind. In such an environment, raising a dog to take care of the home seems to be the best choice for the aboriginal people who have to live here. Barrett and the others can basically tell which house is occupied and which one is idle.

Easily entered a courtyard that had been abandoned for many years, and after carefully closing the courtyard door, several people took a final short rest here. At the same time, there is also the purpose of temporarily hiding and observing the situation.

"What are we going to do next?" As if to be glad to have escaped, the parrot blinked and asked Barrett in a slightly relaxed tone. It seems that after some underground exploration, the newcomer in the team has finally recognized the status of a certain kitchen knife.

The parrot's question seemed casual, like that of a confused person who was undecided. But after combining the current situation of the group, it is not easy to make a perfect reply.

Fortunately, taking advantage of the time to run all the way before, Barrett already had a case in his mind (it is not difficult to be distracted when running away, and this is especially true when projected into a virtual character): "Rest for a while and wait until you are in a good state before talking about anything else." Since this matter is related to the Crimson Hand, then the next arrangement must be careful. Who knows if these guys have anything else to do in the city, and if they can, it's best to wait until tomorrow when the patrols start policing. ”

Don't underestimate any of the underground organizations! In a world where there is no shortage of intrigue and blood. No matter which interest group can survive, it must have its own set of operating methods and networks. Like a giant spider, the laboriously constructed web becomes its best hunting tool and protection.

Although the Scarlet Hand is one of the criminal gangs that the Norhan Kingdom openly combats, from what they have encountered underground before, it can be seen that the other party is not too embarrassed even if it is not nourished.

In this way, combined with the commission and the news heard, the related qiē is very interesting. At the very least, it is the Scarlet Hand that has a protective umbrella in the official face that will lead to the current situation. So it seems that Barrett can't afford to deal with it carelessly.

"Is there anything we can do in Karada where the current identities can be borrowed? Although the next thing is not something that can be solved by fighting and killing. The last step to complete the task is probably not the end. At this point, Barrett turned his gaze to Mario and the parrot, and in his eyes the power of the two churches was relatively reliable.

"I'm here to disappoint you, the Church of the Traveling God has always been neutral. Unless there is conclusive evidence of a blood sacrifice, additional contributions are required. The parrot muttered angrily, "It's only been a little over a month since the game started, where are you going for a newcomer like me to get so much church contribution?" ”

"Speaking of blood sacrifices, but it reminds me of something. Isn't an unmarried girl the best sacrifice? Coupled with the little devil who appeared later, I don't believe that there is no connection here. "A combatant who specializes in dealing with evil creatures, Mario's education in the church makes him quite sensitive.

I saw him patting his breastplate and assuring: "With this news, our Church of the Just Lord will definitely be involved in this matter." Of course, if it's a big problem, the next thing is definitely not for us grass birds to participate in. ”

The felt sat down against the wall, touched his beard, and interjected, "I think I can help with that." Daddy James still has a lot of prestige in the Forge Guild. And after this matter is related to the devil, it is not only the problem of the Karada city government. In this regard, the elder of the clan from which my character comes from has explained it very clearly! ”

"But with this bit of information now, wouldn't it seem too far-fetched to say a large-scale blood sacrifice? After all, there are still many mages who use little devils as magic pets. The parrot looked a little hesitant. Because according to this report, although it will definitely be taken seriously by the Traveler Church. If it is correct, of course, everyone will be happy, but if something goes wrong, Miss Pastor's future development in the church will become a big problem.

Looking at the parrot's embarrassed look, Barrett struck while the iron was hot: "You don't have to worry about this. If there is any action that the town hall is responsible for, all you have to do is to make an impression of your relevant connections in advance. Of course, the specific matters are still solved by the big names among the aborigines. Even the Scarlet Hand's umbrella in the city can't hold it on the Blood Sacrifice of the lower plane. ”

The remaining two companions seemed to be unable to intervene in these matters, so their expressions were rather embarrassed. Bena should have been completely unable to find a way. Of course, noodles as a bloodline inheritance can't be completely unrelated, but the relationships that wanderers can catch up with are basically the kind that can't be put on the table, which is not helpful for the current situation. This is the same as dog meat, although it is delicious, it is not served at the table after all.

Perhaps in order to relieve the embarrassment of his companions, Barrett got up and said, "In that case, we will rest on the spot, and I will conduct the first round of vigil." So who's going to do the second round? ”

"Me!" The felt shook its hammer.

Mario: "Then let me do the third round!" Don't let the ladies and children come to the vigil! ”

"Who do you say is a child?" Noodles waved his arms in protest.
