Adhering to the principles of pragmatism, the palaces of Ankara City are not very extravagant and magnificent. From the outside, it is a simple three-storey fortress with no other features other than its size. There are no elaborate paintings and carvings on its outer walls, no tall and majestic statues, and from a distance, it looks like a large yellow stone.

There were quite a few arrow holes in this large stone, and behind each arrow hole stood a soldier on guard. At this time, people are coming and going, as if they are preparing for something big.

"There's nothing more than seeing you come to my palace, Princess Deirdre. "The Lord of Anka threw a small banquet to welcome the arrival of the former Ram Templar. "I have to say that your arrival has given me another glimmer of hope in the dark ages. ”

"I'm honored. Deirdre replied that she looked like Ram's Abela Chili, only younger and prettier. Brightly colored nail polish is applied to the fingers and toes, and mysterious magical patterns are painted on the backs of the hands. "In these dark times, there's nothing more reassuring than seeing a friendly face like yours. ”

"Ah," the Sultan sighed. "I have heard about the disaster that happened in the city of Ram, and I feel sorry for you. Younis was a great mage, and her death was a loss to the world, and it's a shame I didn't make it in time to help Ram. ”

"I'm sure my mother would be glad to see you come to your aid. Deirdre said decently. But what she thought in her heart was that it would be as difficult for you, a miser miser, to move her ass as hard as it would rain on Artas, and I might as well expect the puppeteer to hang up by himself.

"Let's have some barbecue," Malik called his attendants to serve a full table of delicacies, including roasted lizards stuffed with birds in their bellies, fragrant and oily fatty meats, fruits of all kinds, and exotic delicacies that he could not name. "It helps ease our grief. ”

Your words are full of philosophy. Deirdre replied. "But I have no intention of eating or drinking, but I want to avenge my mother. ”

Sultan Malik seemed to turn a deaf ear to her words, and took a piece of oily fat with his fork and stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it heavily. Then, he said vaguely with food in his mouth. "Revenge is a thing that is sweeter with time as a seasoning...... Maybe I have to add this new date juice that I brewed in Ankara, are you sure you don't want a glass?"

"No, I don't. The princess replied.

"It's a shame that this stuff happens to be just like revenge, and the longer it is brewed, the better it tastes. With that, the Sultan wiped his hands on his robe, leaving a shiny stain of oil. "It's not cheap, you know. I've made a lot of gold a year just by selling this thing. ”

"That's a lot of money. Sometimes I go to other planes to make cameo appearances as adventurers, and I don't earn that much of my hard-earned money. Malik babbled like an old man, talking about irrelevant things. "But I've found a lot of good food in different planes, hehe, it's not much worse than money. You know, there's an alien empire called Nessreel or something, and their magic can make an entire city float in the air? The skills I learned from them helped me accomplish an amazing feat......"

"No doubt you've learned new cooking techniques from those otherworldly people, and the diners and gourmets of Atas will be singing your name for the next millennium. Deirdre had no intention of listening to the other party's gossip, and said with a thoughtful compliment that she wanted to bring the topic back to the point.

Looking at the witch king in front of her, Deirdri's heart longed to breathe fire. How did such a gluttonous man become a disciple of the Primordial Warlock? Does he have anything else in his eyes but money? If I had his strength, think of how many great things I could accomplish!

"Let's not talk about that. Malik waved his hand, and his entourage served a table of different delicacies, including a roasted dog, a few skewers of birds' eggs, spicy turnips, and more. "Your revenge plan has a heavy dà hindrance. I've heard that the puppeteer is dead. ”

"It's dead, that's right. Deirdre took over. "But it's not the only one responsible for my mother's death, the Tyre intervened, and I recognized the Coral Witch and a Starch Spencer Druid. They're going to pay for it!" she raised her glass and took a sip.

Revenge was certainly not Deirdri's real purpose, and she had no deep affection for Abellachili. But she urgently needed an army to help her control the city's former sphere of influence. If she didn't move fast enough, her two brothers would take all the remaining qiē from there, leaving her with no residue.

"Speaking of the people of Tyre. Malik from Ankara asked. "Your two brothers seem to have defected to them. What's going on?"

"I have to admit that they did defect to the Tyres. These two guys couldn't see the big picture at all, and they actually thought that the Tyrs could shelter them. These idiots, when I defeat the Tyres, I'll have them on their knees and lick my feet!"

"'I' defeat the Tyres?" Malik noticed her wording. "You mean us, please let me help you. ”

"Of course, Your Majesty. ”

"I've also heard that you have also gone with your two brothers to the people of Tyre for a while. Malik mumbled as he busied himself with a whole piece of fat in his mouth. "I guess you went to investigate the reality of the Tyres. ”

The old thing, Deirdre looked at the pathetic waste in front of her. There is a magic that is difficult to match, but the mind is so dim. But fortunately he thought so, otherwise it would be difficult for him to explain.

"I did pause for a while in the barracks of the Tyres. Deirdre said. "I saw their army and their commander Rikas with my own eyes. With all due respect, they are a mob, undisciplined and poorly equipped. As long as I am in command of a large army, I can kill them in an afternoon!"

"Sounds like you have a big opinion of them. The Sultan said. "Don't you really try the whole camel that I'm so proud of? I roasted it in a naan pit for two whole days, using a cart of my precious spices. ”

Deirdri's brow furrowed even tighter. "The people of Tyre are crude and unnoble. What's more, their army is filled with elves, Moors, and other humanoid races, which is simply defiled!"

"You can hear that you don't like elves. The Sultan said as he ate. His attendants were ready to fill him with fine wine.

"No decent person would like that kind of scum. They're just beasts like men!" said Princess Deirdre, furious. "There's an elven ruffian in the Tyre army, named Fahd or something, he covets my beauty and wants to tease me!"

"There is no doubt that this man has a good eye. Malik commented.

Is this old thing stupid enough to do this?, Deirdre thought angrily. Why can't he hear the point of my words?!

"As one of the noble witch kings of Artas. You undoubtedly have an obligation to stop the Tyrs' power from expanding further!" said Princess Deirdri. "Avenge my mother!"

"I've already fulfilled my obligations once. Malik said. "I, the Shadow King Nibennay, and Hamanu of Ulric have joined forces to launch an attack on Tyr. But unfortunately, we failed, and I'm afraid the rabble of Tyre isn't as vulnerable as you think. ”

That's your own incompetence, Deirdre thought to herself. "Now is no more than ever, led by me, we will win!"

The Sultan looked hesitant, grabbing his scalp and saying, "But...... You know, I'm poor, the people of Ankara can't even afford to live in a house, they sit in a rotten mound of dirt and eat grass for a living. ”

This stingy old ghost really doesn't pull out a dime. Princess Deirdre thought. If you don't give him some benefits, this old thing won't send troops.

"When the Tyres are repulsed, we will take control of the city of Zìlam and the surrounding area. There are about 100,000 people left, and the output is abundant. Dildre pointed to a tapestry hanging on the wall of the room, on which was a map of Attas. "You will not regret making me the new witch king of Ram. ”

"You know, the edge of the Lam region borders Ankara. "Hmph, let me tempt you with a little sweetness, the princess thought.

"It's not a good thing that two powerful cities ruled by a witch king are too close together. Our cartographers often have friction and strife on the border. It wouldn't be good if this kind of feud extended to the military. Malik Sultan said.

Deirdre glared at Malik. "It sounds like a threat. ”

"These are the words that your esteemed mother said to me, word for word, just a few years ago. Sultan explained. "I think she has good intentions. We have signed a treaty to bind us by our real names and not to infringe on each other's spheres of influence. ”

"Of course it is!" Deirdre breathed a sigh of relief, the old fellow couldn't have been so sharp. "When I become Ram's witch king, I'll ...... from here to there," she gestured casually on the tapestry. “...... All for you. ”

"But that treaty ......"

“...... It can be abolished. Deirdre paused deliberately, waiting for Malik to take the bait.

The Sultan paused for a long time, his face seemed to show gratitude, but in the end he endured it, and it seemed that he still couldn't let go of the Witch King's face. "Thank you very much. I am glad to have your assurances. ”

But the next words revealed the cowardice in Malik's heart. "But we don't have to go it alone. How about we bring Nibenay and Dragos along, and the second alliance of the Witch Kings, Tyr will inevitably be even more unable to resist. ”

It seems that she can't push this coward one step further, Deirdre thought to herself, reluctantly. "If you feel the need. ”

"That's fine. ”

"Wait. Deirdre suddenly remembered another question. "Didn't Dragos die a long time ago?"

"Is he dead?" said Malik slowly, eating the meat. "It doesn't matter, sometimes, the dead are more useful than the living. ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Red Mist. Muhadi said he had a lingering fear for it.

"Don't inhale too much, it's not a big problem. "Amar is at the forefront, and he is responsible for opening the traps in the way and disarming the traps. The halfling's locks are very chic, and without him, it would not have been easy for others to enter the Pure Fortress.

The halfling ruins they had been looking for for a long time had a pure white exterior, and the fortress was made of white marble from the inside out. Hurricanes from the Salt Sea visit the area every year, but none of them destroy it even a single bit. It was like a white spear, pointing straight to the sky.

Once on an island surrounded by the ocean, the Pure Fortress is now perched atop a conical mountain now that the ocean has dried up. From the Salt Sea Plain to the fortress, there are about 10,000 feet.

It was here that the ancient halfling civilization achieved its crowning achievement, replicating the power of the sun and wiping out the red tide that ravaged the entire world in one fell swoop.

"I didn't expect you, a tomb robber, to be able to open the door here. "Muscle Daddy was excited, he was much darker and thinner than he had been at the beginning of the adventure, but he was just as strong and strong.

"When the halflings built this fortress, they didn't think about sealing it off. Amal walked to the gates of the fortress and began to grope. "Their enemies won't pick locks. ”

"If algae can pick the locks, that's a terrible thing. Khwarazmi said that he had barely survived the adventure, but now he was in good spirits, and seeing the Pure Fortress seemed to have ignited the fire of his life.

"Are you sure you'll find anything in this to help us defeat Ebu's polis?" Muhati looked at the Pure Fortress with a strange sense of familiarity. It was as if there was something in there, calling to him. "It's too old after all. ”

"I'm not sure. The Coral Witch shook her head in an almost imperceptible way, her voice only audible to the psychic sorcerers standing beside her. "But I'm sure if I face Polis directly, I don't have a chance of winning. ”

"You look weak. Muhathir noted. "Casting spells in the Salt Sea, you have overdrawn too much life force. ”

"I can hold on. There was strength in Satili's tone. Muhadi knew he couldn't change her mind, so he stopped dwelling on the subject.

"I just hope you're in the right state to handle this......" Muhadi raised his chin and pointed in the direction of the fortress. “...... There may be enemies of zài. ”

"If you don't give it a try, no one knows if you can succeed. ”

"You mentioned the Seven Sins Sect earlier, what is that?" Muhadi was curious.

"One of the books that Cotander left me is an account of the early years of the Primordial Warlock. Satili explained in a soft tone, without the slightest hint of impatience. "Rajat is said to have been here to accomplish his ulterior motives. He left seven powerful otherworldly beings to guard the place from being snooped on. ”

"Then we've got to have a tough battle to fight. ”

"Not necessarily. Satili said. "If the record is correct, the Seven Sins Sect is not good at fighting, they are good at attacking human weaknesses. That's why I didn't come alone, but took you with me on the adventure. If there are too many people, they will not be able to cope with it. And you are all strong people, and if I fail, there is always someone who succeeds. ”

"It's my fault for putting you at such a risk for my purposes. But I have nothing else to do, can you forgive me?" said Sadiri, looking at Muhadi with azure eyes.

"There's nothing to forgive, the more dangerous it is, the more I like it. The Psychic shrugged.

"Thank you for your understanding. Sadiri nodded. "Since the outbreak of the revolution, I have never had the opportunity to reward you revolutionaries. If I survive this time, remember to remind me when I get back. ”

"Is the Seven Sins Sect that dangerous?" Muhati wondered. "Listening to your tone, it seems that you are not optimistic. ”

"I'd rather make a fool of myself by overestimating the enemy than regret underestimating him. Coral Witch said. "Listen to me Muhadi, if the account is correct, then the authorities in the fortress may separate us. When the time comes, we will have to face the challenge of sin alone. ”

"There are six of us, you, me, Camilla, Muscle Daddy, Amal, and Khwarazmi. Well, Khorat is half a secret calculation. Muhathir said. "That means we only need to deal with one or two sins?"

"Theoretically, that's true. Sadiri nodded slightly. "But it's also possible that one of the Sects of Sin will find a second one after packing up one of our people. ”

"It's exciting. Muhathir said. Crossing the uninhabited salt sea was really not to his liking, because of the psychological posture created by Lyra, he preferred to fight against strong enemies, at least the latter could improve his strength.

The thief Amal finally opened the gate of the fortress, and a thin red mist floated out of it, and everyone covered their mouths and noses, and looked carefully.

The inside of the Pure Keep was dimly lit, with a staircase connecting to the main entrance, the end of which vanished into the darkness. The staircase and the walls inside are also made of white marble and are flawless.

"Are you going to stand here all the time, or are you going to go in and hang out?" said Muscle Daddy. "Anyway, I'll go in first!"

After the warrior finished speaking, he stepped in. An inhuman laugh suddenly sounded as he stepped on the first step, making his scalp tingle, and then the laughter stopped abruptly as it had appeared.

Without thinking fluctuations, Muhadi expanded the range of his psionic perception as much as possible, so where is the legendary Seven Sins Sect hidden?

Camilla was the second to enter the fortress, followed by Amal, who kept an eye out for deadly traps on the ground and walls as she walked. Others followed, and the fish rushed in.

"No one has been here for thousands of years. Amar said as he observed. "I can see it. ”

"I don't have to look at it to know. Camilla sarcastically mocked him. "It is recorded in any credible book that no one has been here since the sea dried up. ”

"And does your book mention this trap on the wall?" Amar said, walking to the side of the wall. With a flick of his hand, a powerful blast of abilities struck the path in front of the group.

"There is also this trap on the ground, and I will build you to cross this step, and there is ......," Amar added. "Don't hold on to the wall. ”

"I guess that's another use for bringing a tomb robber!" commented Muscle Daddy. Of course, his use is still to be ridiculed and to improve his mood. ”

"Don't listen to him, Amal, go on. The old scholar Hua Razi said weakly.

Two doors appear at the end of the stairs, the panels are made of black material, which contrasts with the white marble walls. Both doors are tall and identical.

Camila chose a door on the left and pushed it, but it didn't open.

"It's the right door," Amal looked at it closely, then explained. "Both doors must be opened at the same time. ”

"Does that mean we're going to split up into two teams?" said Muscle Daddy.

"Stupid," Camilla sneered. "We can open two doors, but only one of them. ”

"What if we go in the wrong direction?" Muscle Daddy defended himself.

"Then it's going to go back and go. ”

Amar and Muhadi stepped forward at the same time and opened the two black gates. Behind the two doors, there is a red door on each.

"What is this?" said Kharazimi, a frown.

"It is also a rare mechanism in the ancient halfling tomb, called the Fei Gate. Amar also found things tricky. "The door leading to guò in front must be closed in order to open it. ”

"The fortress seems intent on separating us. The thief continued. "Whichever way we choose to go, the door inside may need to be touched by someone on the other road to open it. ”

Sadiri and Muhadi looked at each other and then decided. "In that case, let's separate. Master Kamila and Muhadi and I walked aside. Amal, you take the remaining two people to the other side. ”

"I'm casual. "The old man has nothing to do.

"It's really ruthless, I thought you and I were going aside. Amar said with a smile.

"It's just right that the three of us men go aside, and the three of them go aside?" Muscle Daddy waved his hand. "Let's go, Muhadi!"

"I'm not a woman. The Psychic Warlock said helplessly.

"The beard is all cut off, and you dare to say that it is not a woman?"

It's for ease of care, Muhati wanted to say, but in the end he didn't speak, otherwise he would at least be able to spend an hourglass with Muscle Daddy.

Not long after they dispersed, the three of Muhadi and his party encountered other organs and had to be separated again. And just like that, it took less than half an hourglass to enter the Pure Fortress. All six of them were left alone, and inside the fortress, infinite secrets awaited them.

-------------------------------------------- a book friend guessed it accurately. Indeed, the expulsion from Tyre was conceived a long time ago, like Hijra. After leaving Tyr, the protagonist joins the Witch King in Volume 3. It is expected to be up to the capture of Tyre.

In response to a question that a reader privately messaged me, sura, the word surah, is the meaning of the picture. It also indicates a place where the fence is enclosed. There is no prohibition on the use of the term.
