Chapter 1573: The Battle on the Battlefield (17)

Neverland is a mysterious giant island located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, about 3,000 kilometers south of the Kingdom of Iceland. It is one of the seven most dangerous regions in the world (Earth), and the danger level is on par with that of the Dragon Continent. This terrifying region, as the name suggests, is a demon cave that can be eaten alive by countless adventurers who enter this place.

As one of the seven most dangerous areas in the world, this [Land of No Return] is naturally deadly. Unlike the fatality of the Dragon Continent, where behemoths are rampant, the fatality of [Land of No Return] is that its environment is extremely unstable. Burning lava volcanoes, bitterly cold bottomless glaciers, deadly poisonous swamps filled with putrid miasma, scorched plains with thunderstorms - in short, this giant island is filled with all the harsh natural tests that can be found in the world, and among them are all terrifying beasts that have adapted to the harsh environment.

Ordinary people set foot in this area at will, either being eaten alive by monsters or torn to pieces by natural disasters, and very few people can leave this place alive. Although no special scholar has done a strict statistics on this, I am afraid that the fatality rate of this land of no return is higher than that of the [Dragon Continent], which scares away outsiders purely with the strength of monsters (or monsters). Because, in this land, death always comes so suddenly, and those who enter the [Land of No Return] must always be prepared to deal with it, and if they neglect it, they will lose their lives.

"But why are you sending someone to explore [the Land of No Return] now?" Daniel asked, puzzled, "I've heard that the Knights of the Round Table completed their quest for the Land of No Return five years ago—"

"That's exactly what the Order announced to the outside world. Pasiva sneered, "But that's just an official prevarication.

In fact, our expedition five years ago was not particularly successful. No, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a failure.

The environment in [the Land of No Return] was so hostile that the expedition organized by the Knights of the Round Table was too contemptuous of that expedition and was not 100% prepared. As a result, due to a huge strategic mistake, the supply team in the rear of the expedition team was wiped out one step ahead of the advance exploration team.

The advance exploration team lasted only a week without any supplies, and we had to put dozens of self-propelled unmanned detectors in the place of no return and retreat along the road. In fact, the Knights of the Round Table have only done about a third of their manned exploration of the Land of No Return, and the rest has been done by self-propelled unmanned probes. This is really not an achievement to boast about. ＂

"But you've managed to explore that area after all, right? Even if you're using that self-propelled unmanned probe most of the time. Daniel was even more confused: "In that case, is there any need to explore that area further?"

"Ah, of course it's necessary. The Knight of the Round Table glanced at the surroundings of the room. It was noon, and most of the people had gone to eat, so there was no one eavesdropping in the weapons development room. After confirming this, Pashiva continued: "The main function of the unmanned probe we released in the first place was to explore the environment in order to find [something] in the environment. Therefore, the radar of the detector was developed to detect that particular thing. The sensitivity of this radar is so high that it will help us find what we are looking for, even if it is sealed in an enchantment or deep underground.

But recent events have shown us that in some very special cases, the detector's radar may lose its usefulness - which overturns our previous perceptions, and [the Land of No Return] is reclassified from an [area that has been explored] to an area that needs to be explored. ＂

"I see. After understanding, Daniel was stunned: "Then what are you looking for—"

"No comment. Paseva, the Knight of the Round Table, made a [shhhhh ＂

Of course, a low-ranking knight like Daniel did not understand the true purpose of King Arthur's expedition to the [Land of No Return]. Spending a lot of money, risking the great danger of total annihilation, and running all over the world, the true purpose of the Knights of the Round Table is really only one:-

Find the fragment of the Holy Grail.

As long as you find the legendary artifact left behind by the ancient gods and men, the Holy Grail of Hope, the world can be redeemed. The form in which the Holy Grail will redeem the world remains a mystery to this day, but it is certain that the Holy Grail will completely liberate the power of King Arthur's holy sword, the Sword of Kings. The sword of the king, which can use all its strength, can purify the darkness of the entire universe in an instant, and remove the threat of the shadows in this world once and for all.

At least that's what the ancient scriptures say.

"But why me?" Daniel was even more worried when he saw Pasiva's mysterious appearance. He then continued to ask suspiciously, "Is it just because I have a magic-resistant physique?" I'm still just a Black Iron Knight, and my combat power is also very average, so I can't compare with the Knights of the Round Table at all. If [The Land of No Return] is a dangerous place that even the battle-hardened knights of the Knights of the Round Table can overcome, at my level, I can't interfere in this operation, can I?"

"Actually, it's quite the opposite. Pasiva smiled wryly, "The Knights of the Round Table are basically [people], and if they are human, they are too susceptible to the influence of the environment to move, so we were wearing heavy protective clothing to move when we explored [The Land of No Return]. The heavy protective clothing not only makes people tired easily, but also prevents the knights from performing their strength, and the battle is very tough. As the battle dragged on, the protective clothing wore out, and the supply lines couldn't keep up, so we couldn't continue to operate in that hostile environment. At that time, the only people who could continue to explore in some harsh environments were Prince Kai, who had giant blood and could move in the heat for a long time, except for His Majesty King Arthur, who had succubus blood and was particularly resistant to poison. Still, they didn't last long. ＂

Daniel's brow twitched.

"But if it were you, you would probably be able to move more freely than they did. Originally, you were a [Demon Lesser], and you have a high resistance to all kinds of magic and hypnosis, and now you have the power of dragons and succubi, and you can probably resist even heat and toxins. It was only after hearing the news that I decided that you were one of the best people to explore in the Land of No Return. ＂

"I'm not sure...... "The Black Iron Knight boy still wants to dodge. This operation is simply a suicide mission, and I always feel that there is no return. Although if he succeeds, he will also be highly praised, and the possibility of being promoted to the Silver Knight increases.

"Oh, you don't have to be sure, let's be sure. Pasiva grinned, "For example, during the physical examination just now, we injected a small amount of mountain in your body for testing. It was supposed to be a poison that could have put people down in five seconds and kill people in an hour, but you've persevered until now, haven't you?"

"What? You-" Daniel began to feel that something was wrong with his body. He began to feel dizzy and foamed at the mouth.

"Hmm. Pasiva looked at his watch: "It took a full fifteen minutes for the poison to develop, and the symptoms were mild." ＂

"Damn ......!" the dizziness grew, and Daniel was sitting in the chair, but he could only rely on his own hands to hold on to the armrests of the chair, barely allowing himself to slip off the chair. But his struggles were in vain, and he was soon crushed by a severe headache, his eyes blackened, and he fainted.

Pasivar pulled a syringe out of his pocket and injected the pale blue antidote into the artery of the Black Iron Knight boy's arm. Daniel, whose face was originally slightly darkened, showed a slightly more relaxed expression. Normally, judging from Daniel's not-so-serious poisoning, Passiva could have let Daniel's own detoxification function work instead of injecting Daniel with the antidote, and test how long it would take for the poison to be completely removed. However, Daniel is not a direct subordinate of Paseva, the Knight of the Round Table, and there may be serious overstepping of his authority in doing so, and Pasivar also cherishes this precious research object too much, so he can't wait to inject Daniel with an antidote machine, so as not to poison the Black Iron Knight boy to death.

"Is the ability to resist toxins above His Majesty King Arthur and below the true succubus? The Knight of the Round Table muttered to himself, "Even so, this is still a very amazing talent. ＂

"I don't think so. A blonde girl stepped out of a cubicle in the weapons development room, still holding a test weapon—or a tested weapon. There was still a faint green smoke on the weapon, and I didn't know what it was used for.

"Don't you think?" said Pasiva, turning to look at his most powerful assistant, Juliette Luxford.

"Don't forget, no matter how much his constitution changes, this kid is still a [demonless]. The girl advised, "If you can't even use magic, you will never be able to survive in [the Land of No Return]." ＂

"Well, we'll figure it out later. "Pashiva is meaningful.

Although many people in the Knights are not optimistic about Daniel, they even think that Daniel only became a Black Iron Knight after taking shit luck. But Paseva, the Knight of the Round Table, had a unique expectation for the young knight of the Black Iron Knight—he saw in the young man a faint shadow of a great warrior from the past.
