For the abyss, whether it is the Heavenly Mountain, the main plane, or other planes, it is all about changing colors. It's an endless, suffocating place of horror. There is no morality here, the environment here is harsh, and it is a terrible torture for all other beings except demons and fallen people. There is no friendship, no love, no family, only endless betrayal, killing, killing and desire.

The abyss is a place where the glory of the gods cannot shine, and no god can rescue a creature who has fallen into the abyss from the abyss, and it is a forbidden place for the gods. And the demons have also rejected everything that the gods believe in, they hate the gods, they hate everything in the world, and they have always wanted to spread chaos and cruelty to the main plane.

In the history of the main plane, there have been several abyssal invasions, and the most influential and profound one is the late Ragnarok, when the abyssal lord Dimo Gogen led the abyssal demon army to invade the main plane from the gap in time and space in the central mountain range. To this day, Mount Terra Yali, the northwestern mountain range of the Central Mountains, has been unable to recover due to the influence of the power of the Abyss, and has become a paradise for demon warlocks and some low-level demons.

So when Sir Wacole saw the assailant's appearance, he immediately classified him as an abyssal creature. The disgusting evil aura, the barbs on the dark skin, the miserable green juice flowing from the mouth of the giant rat head all indicate that this is a creature of the abyss.

As the leader of the first brigade of the Greywater Mercenary Regiment, Sir Wacor has been fighting on the main plane for many years with the leader of the group, the bloody hand Colin, and has also destroyed the evil demon rituals many times, and he also understands the types of abyss demons, but for the kind of demon that appears in front of him, Sir Wacor has never seen it. Perhaps it was a monster attracted by the grey fog of Cusques, Sir Wacole thought.

"The warrior's shield taunt attracts the attention of the monster, and the mage pays attention to the mana drain. Potter, solve a few to lighten the burden on the warriors. Sir Whackor commanded the battle as he drew his longsword, which had been with him for many years, and then rushed towards the attacking monster with several of the demon swordsmen in the fight. Potter the Ranger, who had been wandering at the edge of the group, nodded to the thieves on his left and right, Eugene and Gar, after hearing Sir Wacole's order, and the three of them rushed into the group of monsters like hungry eagles, and then repelled with a single blow.

Although the number of monsters that attacked the Huishui Mercenary Group team this time was not very large, about thirty or so, compared to the monsters encountered in the previous days, both strength and equipment were greatly strengthened, and they should be middle-level demons in the abyss.

These demons, which looked like nezumi, were armed with sharp spears, and their movements were extremely fast, and they pounced in front of Sir Wakel in an instant. Although he was a little surprised, after all, as the captain of the first brigade of the Greywater Mercenary Regiment, these demons could not pose a threat to Sir Wacole. Just get rid of a few of them cleanly. And several magic swordsmen who fought side by side with Sir Wakel also killed a few of them with great ease.

Looking at these powerful magic swordsmen around him, Sir Wecol admired the foresight of the group leader, and the magic swordsmen created by these group leaders against public opinion have played an important role in the survival of the Greywater Mercenary Group several times.

"Captain, be careful, these are not ordinary demons, they should be the rat demons of the Slime Swamp Abyss on the second hundred and twenty-second floor of the Abyss, and their corpses will explode and emit poisonous gas after they die. Chris, who had been protected by the fighters in the circle, reminded loudly.

After seeing these rat demons appear, Chris has been observing. As a follower of the All-Knowing, Chris is well versed in the Infinite Plane. Chris has always studied the creatures of the abyss, but these rat demons are a little different from the poisonous rat demons he is familiar with at the moment they appear, and Chris does not recognize them at the first time.

Hearing Chris's reminder, Sir Wecol and several magic swordsmen around him reacted extremely quickly and quickly retreated, and the magic swordsmen also used defensive magic to block the poison gas.

As Chris said, as soon as Sir Wacole reacted, the corpse of the rat demon on the ground swelled rapidly, and then with a "bang", the corpse exploded, and the miserable green poisonous gas spread rapidly through the forest.

"Mage, shield. Brooke, a wind spell, blows these poisonous gases away. Sir Wacole ordered.

A transparent shield enveloped everyone in an instant, and at the same time, the magic swordsman named Brooke directly raised the magic sword in his hand after hearing Sir Vercole's order, and the cyan breeze began to linger around several magic swordsmen, and then everyone felt a breeze blowing.

The breeze that blew through everyone instantly turned into a violent wind when it came into contact with the poisonous gas, blowing violently. But what is unthinkable is that those poisonous gases are like thick and flowing liquids, and the magic swordsman's wind spells have no effect at all.

"Captain, we have to get out of here. The poisonous gas that appears after the explosion of the poisonous rat demon is difficult to remove, and this land will be corroded, and it will be dangerous if we don't leave. Chris said as he approached Sir Wacole.

"There's no other way?" Sir Wacole looked at the poisonous rat demon who was constantly attacking the shield, and had a headache, he was afraid of such an enemy, he couldn't kill or fight, and he would always stick to you when he retreated.

"There's no good way to do it for the time being. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen this rat demon. The Rat Demon has been living on the 222nd layer of the Abyss. And this layer is the territory of Jupilex, the Lord of Slime, and the environment is harsh and there is poison gas floating all year round, and even the most arrogant Bato demon is reluctant to enter, so there is no knowledge of how to eliminate the poison gas. Chris also felt that it was a pity, if he could know how to eliminate these poisonous gases, it would be the best sacrifice for the All-Knowing Lord, and then he would also be able to receive the gift of the All-Knowing Lord.

Sir Wacole frowned and thought for a moment, "No, we must find a way to clear these poisonous fogs. Obviously, these poisonous rat demons appeared because of the abnormal changes in the ruins of Kuskes City, if you retreat at this moment, although you can temporarily relieve the pressure, but if you encounter them again on the next trip and there is no way to solve them, then the ruins of Kusquez City will not need to be explored. ”

Chris understood what Sir Wacole meant, and heard his decision, and took a deep breath, and Chris said, "Maybe there's another way." The Endless Abyss is full of poisonous gases in all levels, and some of them are the favorite of alchemists, who will pay a lot of money for these gases, so there will be outlaws who go to the abyss to collect poison gas, and the container they use to collect poison gas is this crystal. ”

Chris took out a dark black crystal from his spatial ring, "This crystal called the Demon Crystal can absorb any poisonous gas, and I believe that the poisonous gas produced by the poisonous rat demon after the explosion can also be absorbed." It's just that I only have one piece of this demon crystal, and I bought it because I was curious when I knew about it, and if I use it now, then I encounter a poisonous rat demon, and there is no good way to deal with the poisonous gas. ”

Seeing the rat demon attack outside the barrier becoming more and more fierce, Sir Wacole thought for a moment and said, "Solve the urgent need first. We're still some way from the ruins of Cusques, and it will take about three days to get there, so I'll send a message to the head of the regiment and ask him to help us figure it out. ”

"Good. Seeing that Sir Wacole had made up his mind, Chris did not hesitate to use the demon crystal in his hand.

As the barrier opened, it was not only the poisonous rat demon that rushed towards the Greywater team, but also the poisonous gas that diffused.

"Quick fix. Sir Wacole was a little annoyed by the sudden appearance of the rat demon, and the attack of his great sword became extremely fierce.

Now that Sir Wacor had given the order, how could the rest of the mercenary squad not listen to it, and they all launched an attack on the rat demon. In an instant, more than eighty poisonous rat demons were eliminated, but the poisonous gas produced by the explosion of the poisonous rat demon also shrouded the battlefield, and a warrior accidentally inhaled two mouthfuls of poisonous gas, but after inhaling the poisonous gas, the warrior did not feel any discomfort and did not say anything to others.

Standing in the warrior's protective circle, Chris raised the demon crystal high with his left hand, while raising his wand with his right hand, and a trace of spatial magic fluctuated at the tip of the wand. Aim the tip of the wand at the demon crystal, as the space magic on the wand is sucked into the crystal, the poisonous rat gas that permeates the forest begins to flow, like a flood bursting the embankment, and all the poisonous rat gas in the forest surged towards the demon crystal in Chris's hand.

Kill the last Poison Rat Demon and watch as the poison gas is absorbed into the Demon Crystal. Sir Wacole walked up to Chris and said, "Well, how much more can this crystal absorb?"

Chris picked up the crystal and felt the fluctuations emitted by the crystal and said, "About one-fifth of the capacity is used, and if you encounter a poisonous rat demon next, then you can use it directly." ”

"Well, in that case. Check your body first to see if you have been injured by this poisonous rat demon, or if you have inhaled poisonous gas. Then rest for half an hour. After Sir Wacole finished speaking, he went directly under a tree, and then took out a parchment letter from the spatial ring, "Chris, come on, write down the matter in detail." ”

After Chris had put the crystal away, he took the parchment letter from Sir Wacole's hand and began to write what had just happened.

"Captain, nothing unusual was found. Brooke sat down beside Sir Wacole.

"That's good. Sir Wacole nodded slightly.

"Captain, why did you say that the regimental commander had to go into the ruins of Kuskes City, and invited the mercenary king to intercede for us. Brooke asked curiously.

"I don't know very well, when the head of the regiment explained the mission, he only said that he would work hard to explore the ruins of Kuskes City, and he didn't say much else. Sir Wacole shook his head.

Sir Wacole didn't lie to Brooke the Demon Swordsman, and when Colin the Bloody handed over the mission to Wacole, he only said that he would record everything he walked through in Kuskes City, and didn't say anything else, so it was equivalent to not saying any reason to explore the ruins of Kuskes City.

After successfully solving the attack of the rat demon, the team also got enough rest, so under the mottled shadow of the trees, everyone set off again for the ruins of Kuskes City.

In the city of Anko, Moscow, Karl and the others were walking towards a room behind the fire hammer sage Dvach.

"Your Excellency Karl, there is a place in front of me where my country stores weapons, and I hope you can find a suitable weapon for yourself in it. Dwarch turned his face and said.

"Thank you Lord of the Mountains for your generosity. Karl laughed.

When negotiating terms with the dwarves, Karl had proposed that the equipment needed for the expedition needed to be provided by the dwarf kingdom, and at that time Karl wanted to get more of the machinery needed for the expedition, such as goblin grenades, puppet scouts, Vulcan Fury, etc., but the dwarf king seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that Carl needed weapons, so he asked Dwarch to bring Carl to the armory.

"Sage!" the two dwarven guards guarding the armory immediately bowed when they saw the arrival of the Dwach sage.

"Open the door. The Sage of Dwachi pulled out a hammer-shaped badge. "Yes. The two dwarven guards bowed again, then turned and slowly pushed the gate open.

Chirping...... As soon as the door was pushed open, a puff of dust rushed from the armory, and with a wave of the Sage Dwarts, the dust was blown away. "Your Excellency Karl, please. ”

After making a gesture of invitation, the Sage Dwarch entered the armory first, and Karl and the three entered the armory close behind. And the moment Goliath stepped into the armory, the door of the armory slowly closed.

"Bang" At the moment when the door closed, the lights in the armory were also called in an instant, illuminating the dim space.

Looking at the huge ordnance neatly arranged in the armory, Karl and Goliath were shocked and speechless, one was shocked by the scale of the dwarven armory, and the other was that they had seen the armory of the Cult of the Ruling God before they knew what the dwarven armory was. And Vilia has no interest in these things, after all, the dwarves are known as the children of the earth spirits, and the weapons they make are not suitable for the children of the forest like the elves, even if Veria is only a half-elf.

Goliath walked to a rack where weapons were placed, picked up a long sword, and looked at the long sword that reflected his face, and Goliath was overjoyed. He tore off one of his own hairs and put it on the blade of the long sword, and gently blew on the hair, and the hair broke off in response. "Good sword. Seeing the long sword blowing and breaking hair, Goliath exclaimed after playing a few sword flowers. Carl also walked to the sword stand and took out a long sword, and after taking a closer look, he couldn't help but admire.

"Lord Karl and Lord Goliath, please come with me, the weapons that are placed here are only commodities delivered to the goblin merchant, and the weapons that are really going to be given to you are still to come. Sage Dwach walked up to Karl and said.

For Karl and Goliath's reaction, Sage Dwach was satisfied. The dwarves are not the first in the craft of forging weapons in all planes, but they are earned little by little by relying on high-quality and inexpensive items. Only the picky, greedy, and dirty goblin merchants would pick and choose these perfect items.

"What? The weapons here are just commodities delivered to the goblins?" Karl couldn't believe his ears. I had heard of dwarf forging technology before, but there were very few weapons produced by dwarves, and there was no price in the market, so Carl had never seen a weapon forged by dwarves so far. The first time I saw it today, Carl liked the long sword in his hand, but he didn't expect that these were just ordinary works of dwarves. Now Carl was excited, looking forward to the weapons he was going to see next.

Passing through the weapon rack where the longsword and warhammer were displayed, the three Karl followed Dwarch to a secret room. This chamber seems to have been opened for the first time in a long time, and the door of the historic chamber is covered with dust.

Sage Dwach stepped forward and placed the Warhammer badge he had taken out into the hammer-shaped gap in the door of the chamber, and with a flash of light, he heard the door click and the door slowly open.

"The weapons on display here are all forged by famous masters in the history of our people, and Lord Karl, my king has announced that your Excellency and your companions can choose three weapons at will as a deposit for this commission. Dwarch said to Karl as he stood in the doorway of the chamber.

"In that case, ask you, Sage Dwachi, to lead the way. Carl smiled.

Compared to the dazzling array of weapons displayed in the hall outside, this secret room is very small, with only two display shelves, and only a few dozen weapons placed on it. However, each one is carefully placed in a chest made of sappher.

"Your Excellency, you can now enjoy the masterpieces of my people, and if you like any of them, please let me know. This crystal chest has a special mechanism that can only be opened by the Sage of the Fire Hammer, and Lord Karl should not open it directly when he is admiring it. Lord Goliath and Miss Vilia, you are the same. Sage Dwach informed Karl and the three of them of the precautions, and then stood aside and said no more.

Carl approached a crystal chest containing a shield painted with a lion relief, and even through a layer of crystal, Carl could clearly feel the golden glitter of the shield and the roar of the lion.

"This shield was forged by Master Warich. The materials used are forged from Immersion Gold condensed from the deepest part of the Earth Plane and the blood of the legendary Monster Lion King Kaxiu, which can emit the Lion King's roar when facing enemies, shocking enemies. When the sage Dwachi saw Karl stop to examine his shield, he stepped forward and explained to Karl.

"However, this shield should not be suitable for Lord Karl. Because it is forged from immersion gold, the weight of this lion shield is beyond imagination. Lord Karl's profession should be a Rogue Ranger, right? Dwarch also informed Karl about the shortcomings of the shield.

"I shouldn't be able to use it, even though I'm a fighter, my fighting style is wide open, so a two-handed greatsword is more suitable for me. Goliath, who was admiring the weapon, heard the words of the sage Dwachi and said.

"Sage, you should be more familiar with these weapons than we are, so please choose them for us. Velia, who had seen a few pieces, smiled.

Karl smiled when he heard this. Nothing could be more reliable than a recommendation from a master, and the fact that this master is still a dwarf eliminates the possibility of deception.

"Since the three of them are so willing to let me choose, then I will definitely pick the right weapon for the three of them. After speaking, Sage Dwach walked directly to a crystal chest, depending on the situation, he should have already thought about what kind of weapon to choose for the three of Karl.

With a slight tap of the Sage Dwachi's finger on the crystal chest, the crystal chest opened like a flower blooming, revealing an ancient sword inside.

Sage Dwachi carefully took out the longsword, and then came to Karl with both hands, "This longsword is not forged by our dwarves, but a relic of Gandaus, the archmage who saved the dwarves in history. ”

"Call this long sword the Enemy Slashing Sword, it's a rune long sword. The rune enchantment on it was made by Archmage Gandaus. After the archmage helped our dwarves repel the attack from the orcs from the north, only the longsword was gone. ”

"And the gift of this sword to His Excellency Karl is the intention of His Majesty Xos, Lord of the Mountains. If Lord Karl can help the Dwarves resolve the mutation in Kuskes, then you will be as kind to us as Archmage Gandaus. ”

Faced with the words of the Fire Hammer Sage Dvach, Karl hesitated. The gift was too expensive for Carl to take it.

"Your Excellency Karl, please don't worry, the reason why my king was able to give you this sword is also in accordance with the instructions of Archmage Gandaus. When the archmage Gandaus left the city of Anko in Moscow, he left a prophecy that in a thousand years, a son of the gods would come to take the sword and save the fate of the dwarves. Not only my king, but I also very much believe that Your Excellency will be able to investigate the changes in Cusques City clearly. Sage Dwachi explained.

But even so, Carl was still unwilling to accept this sword of slashing enemies, and he didn't know why in the face of this rune sword, Carl's heart always lingered with a sense of unease, as if this long sword was some kind of devouring beast.

At this time, the originally dull runes on the sword body that had been shining brightly at this moment, and then left the sword body and appeared in front of Carl and the others.

The moment he saw the rune, Karl seemed to be enchanted, and his hand involuntarily wanted to touch the rune. "Carl. Just as Carl was about to touch the rune, Vilia shouted and woke Carl up.

"I'm sorry, Sage Dwachi, but we appreciate your kindness, and I'm afraid we won't be able to accept this gift. Velia said in a somewhat unkind tone, apologetic to the Sage Dwarchi.

"No, I'll take this rune sword. Karl didn't wait for Veria to say anything, and took the sword directly from the hands of the sage of Dvachi.

"Carl. Veria was a little angry, obviously the rune sword just now behaved a little strangely, why did she stay.

"Vilia, this sword is a gift from His Majesty Xos, and represents the heart of the dwarves, what reason can I refuse?" Karl held the sword in his right hand, and the middle finger and index finger of his left hand slashed through the sword, "It is indeed a good sword, thank you, Sage Dvachi." ”

"Your Excellency Karl, I'm sorry, I didn't expect such an accident with this enemy sword, I'd better choose another one for you. ”

"No, I love it. Sage, you'd better choose a weapon for Vilia and them. Karl rejected the kindness of the Sage of Dwach and included the Slashing Sword in the Spatial Ring.

Subsequently, the Sage of Dwachi chose a two-handed greatsword for Goliath, forged by the famous Dwarven master craftsman and the forger of the second generation of the Stormhammer, known as the Thunder Fury. When attacking, it is accompanied by the power of thunder, which is very suitable for Goliath.

However, Vilia did not choose to choose a weapon for herself, but chose a pair of armor for Carl, called the Vibranium Dragon Armor, which is made of vibranium metal with strong golden dragon scales, strong and light, suitable for explorers like Carl.

"Now that Lord Karl has been equipped, please come back to the council chamber with me. Dwachi sage said.

Carl nodded slightly, then ignored Vilia's strange gaze at him, and walked out of the secret room first.
