Chapter 172: One Hundred Thousand Demons
"That guy, shouldn't you be waiting for me to take the initiative to find the door?"
Richard muttered to himself.
The young man's pupils glowed with magical light, and his pupils turned a clear blue-gold color, and the inner circle shrank, appearing as sharp as a falcon.
This is the "Eagle Eye" in the realm of prophecy, and under normal circumstances, even from a distance of more than ten kilometers, the scene reflected in the "Eagle Eye" is still as clear as an ultra-high-definition camera.
In addition, this magic can be useful in the current situation: it can penetrate the obstruction of vision by weather conditions such as fog, night, etc.
According to Sycodi, the place was a mining town during the Middle Ages, and the entire interior of the hill was hollowed out.
And it is true, in addition to the cave where the wizards of the Black Tower are stationed, walking along the winding passage like the stomach of a monster, you can also encounter several internal caves of different sizes, which can be seen to have traces of artificial repair, like black blood basins.
I am afraid that is where the Imperials mined 2,500 years ago: the passage through the center of the mountain is the veins of the past, and each cave is a collection point.
Based on the distance you have just walked, you can calculate that the cave in front of you is the last one in the belly of the mountain.
At this moment, Richard, dressed in black robes and wearing a mask, stood quietly at the edge of the cavern, staring at the defensive array surrounded by the convoy.
The dense mist that the fog demons constantly secreted and released had sealed and isolated the place, while silently eroding the bodies and spirits of the guards.
Richard noticed that in the center of the convoy, there was a carriage inlaid with the royal coat of arms, and knew that the destination of his trip was there-
He believed that the oath was in Queen Mary herself.
On the one hand, it is convenient to trade, deliver with one hand, and save people with the other; On the other hand, the oath can only be kept by members of the royal family, and even members of the Holy See are not allowed to "do it on their behalf". Although this was an old-fashioned rule hundreds of years ago, since the queen herself was here, it was not violated.
So, Richard's initial plan was very simple: the first thing he needed to do was to contact Commons, who had already made up his mind to be a two-and-a-half boy, so that he could attract the attention of others or hide his actions, and the second step was for him to trade with the queen in person.
Richard wasn't about to break his promise: the prismatic thorn could absorb the preacher's "latent curse" and Queen Mary's curse imposed by the same person—he wasn't sure, but it was a possibility.
As long as he can, Richard will help.
The premise of all this is that he must actually get the oath in his hands.
However......
"It seems to have been seen through."
Richard's brow furrowed.
In the distance, after a brief exchange between the two, Cummins was apparently coerced and warned to leave the vicinity of the queen's car. The connection between him and "Raspuchin" was again broken.
Even if they could be contacted later, the man probably wouldn't let Cummins get close to the queen again.
In other words, the next step is to rely on yourself.
......
Richard watched warily at the man standing next to the carriage.
He was dressed in a bright red robe, a thick cloak behind his back, and a long sword with a cross gauntlet at his waist.
The man seemed to notice the wizard's snooping and raised his head slightly.
At that moment, Richard could intuitively feel that the two had indeed looked at each other in the air.
- He saw himself.
Until this time, the handsome and angry face was still a nonchalant smile, as if it was welcoming guests from afar.
This man is the "sword of the Divine Judgment", Cardinal Joan Borgia of the Holy See......
Do you want to elicit yourself in such a move?
He was striking Cummins with words, but his purpose was directed at himself.
"It's enough to look down on people."
Richard snorted contemptuously and thought to himself.
"I'm a dignified wizard leader, how can I fight you head-on."
Cummins counted on it, but it was absolutely impossible to get him to take the initiative.
Richard knew that he was not alone in trying to deal with this group of people at this time.
He was waiting, waiting for someone's action.
At this time, Richard had already vaguely guessed that the purpose of the Holy See was absolutely inseparable from Mr. Hanged Man
The old man would have agreed to his terms so easily, perhaps because he had already planned to do so......
Of course, Richard didn't feel like he had lost anything.
As long as the goal can be achieved, it is not important to be deceived by a little one.
Await.
At this moment, everyone is waiting -
Whether it's him, whether it's Borgia, or Howard......
The results of this wait were quickly confirmed.
Everything was as he expected, and the most impatient one really belonged to the old man.
......
It was like someone sneezing – and in a very short period of time, upheaval happened.
Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains shook.
The soft ground under people's feet undulates like ocean waves.
Dirt, dust, and gravel poured down from the head like a sudden rainstorm; Cracks opened in the solid walls of the cave, spreading and expanding rapidly, and the branches were constantly parting like lush branches.
The guards who came here were all experienced masters, and they were still not in a hurry in the face of this astonishing movement. After a commotion, they immediately made a wise choice: abandon their luggage, grab their weapons, shrink their defensive circles, and surround the queen in the core area.
But this is nothing but in vain -
Cavern...... No, it's the whole mountain, as if it is being held in the palm of a giant god, kneading like a ball of mud, constantly deforming and twisting. The fog is dissipating, but the space in the belly of the mountain is becoming more and more cramped, and the ground and walls are sloping; At the same time, the cracks turned into huge gaps more than ten meters wide, and the dozen or so earth-walking beasts dragging the vehicles let out a wail, which was quickly buried by the heavy clods of earth, and finally slid into the bottomless abyss.
"Where did he use the magic?"
Everything around was engulfed by the raging earthflow, and tens of thousands of tons of earth and stone poured down like an upside-down waterfall, a spectacular and terrifying scene.
Richard no longer tried to stand on his feet, but floated in the air, opening a barrier to block the heavy mudflow. He squinted his eyes and looked around, more concerned about that.
At that moment, a figure descended from the sky - she cut through the layers of obstacles, oblivious to the scene of the landslide and the earth, the hem of the gown quietly falling on his face, her long black hair flying behind her back.
"Real Miss ......"
"I see it." "Howard is rallying the demons of the wilderness to besiege this place, and that's why the whole mountain is collapsing," she said. ”
"How many?"
"As a rough count, the number of instances is at least a hundred thousand—" replied the girl, "and the number is rising. ”
