Chapter 19: The Swamp Underground Cavern
Yuri came back to his senses, looked at Hook and said: "Father should not have this plan for the time being, everything will have to wait until the situation is clear, this time I will go to the Black Rain Swamp, I am going to take you there, I have some immature ideas, I can't tell you for the time being." ”
Yuri looked at the boxing ring in the middle and said slowly: "You don't have to stay in this broken place in the future, I left the Dukedom this time to go to the Black Rain Swamp... I probably won't be coming back, but if it goes well, I'll start my own journey, maybe build my own territory and castle, maybe join the army, maybe... I'm going to die in a corner where no one knows, I know you're ambitious, you're just like me! Staying here is doomed to nothing, because there's no place for us here, or we can't find our own value! I've told you something before, and there's no point in repeating it!"
"The moment I saw the dragon, I thought I would definitely not be able to come back, I was going to die! But I survived in a daze, and the moment I woke up, I decided, I will slaughter this dragon!"
"Do you understand? Hook! Do you know how far apart we are from the dragons?! Our pride is nothing in their eyes! The power we have been looking for, the money! These are meaningless in the face of truly powerful power! And dragons are still immortals, and the worst of them have a lifespan of nearly 10,000 years! And we? Hundreds of years of meandering! What we strive for! What we strive for! Nothing to them with! Strength! Only strength! With power you can get everything! You! Hook, Panrazen! Will you follow in my footsteps in the search for power?"
Yuri's face was still a little hideous after roaring, Hook looked at Yurias, slowly came to Yuri's side, solemnly knelt on one knee, and hung his head silently! Yes, there is no need for any grandiose words! No need for any oath of allegiance! Yurias, my lord! From this moment on, your command is my destiny!
Yuri didn't help him up, he looked at the empty hall in front of him, silently distracted, the light falling from the dome fell on the two of them, and the two of them shrouded in dim light looked a little lonely and a little sacred...
At this moment, nearly 3,000 meters deep underground in the center of the Black Rain Swamp, in a naturally formed huge karst cave, a man also knelt on the ground, and his mouth also repeated the words of Hook just in his heart, in front of him was a huge black crystal with a height of nearly 100 meters and a length of nearly 300 meters, the huge black crystal was inlaid on a more huge brass-colored base, the base was nearly ten meters high, its surface was a mysterious rune outlined by a dense black unknown substance, and the black crystal surface flashed from time to time A series of electric arcs flashed, and the arcs gathered to the bottom of the crystal, and whenever the arc was conducted to the base of the crystal, a part of the arc gathered to those black mysterious runesWhen the current passes, the mysterious substances that make up the black runes will become lighter in color, and then emit a rich black gas, which is pulled by an inexplicable force, rushing towards the cave walls around the cave, and then being quickly sucked away by the dense holes on the cave walls!
The kneeling man stood up and looked at a platform 100 meters in front of the crystal, there was a teleportation array that had been activated on the platform, the man was wearing a blue-black quaint mask on his face, only his eyes were exposed, at this moment the man's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, and then he shook his head negatively, and slowly walked towards the teleportation array, and came to the array, the man looked back at the huge black crystal, the black crystal was still flashing in an electric arc, constantly creating black gas, the man turned around, the energy of the teleportation array surged, and his figure turned into a little starlight and disappeared...
After Yuri waited in the arena for nearly an hour, Master Aiden had arrived, and Hook led the group to the cage cellar in the arena, the cellar was very large, and the huge chains on the roof of the shed hung one after another, and there were some fierce beasts and disobedient guys in it, and the chains were controlled by mechanisms, Hook led the two of them slowly to the inside of the cage hall, and at the end was the execution chamber, and now on the torture rack was the Iron Demon Bull, who had been injected with recovery potions, and he had come to his senses.
Yuri stared at the Iron Demon Bull on the torture rack, turned around and asked Hook to bring the interrogation transcript, looking through it, and after a few minutes, Yuri frowned.
Handing the record in his hand to Aiden, Aiden looked at it a few times and said, "Judging from the interrogation records, his memory has indeed been tampered with. ”
Aiden walked to the side of the torture rack, and stretched out his hand to check the head of the Iron Demon Bull, while saying: "The general means of control will be chosen near the head, as for the kind of spell that you think can directly control people's spirits and block memories, it can no longer be regarded as a spell, it is easy to guide the spirit, it is difficult to control and manipulate the memory, if there is such a spell, I think it should be the realm of divine magic, of course, it may be that I am lonely and have never been in contact with it..."
"Oh, I found it, and sure enough, I used to intervene," Aiden said and turned the torture rack so that the Iron Demon Bull had his back to the group, Aiden pointed to his neck, "Look!" he said as he reached out and ruffled the hair on the back of his neck, a black metal badge-like thing embedded in the flesh of the back of his neck. The metal behind his neck should be the inhibition device, with this method is slightly rough, the slightest carelessness will damage the central nervous system of the receptor, but it works very well, it can block any memory about the information entered in advance, and it is not a simple shield, the moment you put on this thing, it isolates the existence of relevant information, that is, this information is not recorded by the wearer's brain, he really does not have the memory you want, it is indeed a small thing with good ideas. ”
An arc of electricity appeared between his two fingers as Aiden spoke, "Smack!" The arc flashed behind the Iron Demon Bull's neck, and the Iron Demon Bull's body twitched and fainted.
Aiden had already appeared in his hand, the device was button-shaped, with a slender probe in the middle, and some tiny metal tentacles on the edge of the device, and he took out a pair of monocles to observe, "This thing shouldn't have a monitoring effect, what about the other three corpses?"
Hook heard the words and walked out, and soon a few people walked in with a few stretchers, Aiden walked over and examined several corpses, and found that the back of their necks were implanted with this kind of device, Aiden took out a metal tray for experimentation and put away a few devices, and said: "This tattoo on their body is very similar to the abyssal dog, and the status of the abyssal dog in the abyssal world is just like our ordinary dogs here." ”
Hook said excitedly: "So it's very likely that these guys have something to do with the abyss behind them? These guys use domestic dogs as markers, and they are probably low-level members of them! Hehe, then the forces behind it must be very powerful! Some of them are playing!"
Aiden looked at Hook's excited expression and shook his head: "Using this kind of abyss demonic beast with a low recognition as a mark, then the forces behind them are likely to be related to the abyss, of course, it is not ruled out that some guys with problems with their heads are doing something to fool fools." ”
When Yuri and Hook heard this, their faces couldn't help but be a little sullen and gloomy, Aiden couldn't help but laugh a little when he saw Yuri's expressions, "Heh, you don't need this expression, in fact, the chance of you being fooled is still very high, the eyes of the abyssal dog on this pattern are closed, and the horn is with spiral lines, these characteristics are not consistent with the real abyssal dog, the abyssal dog has its eyes open all its life!"
"Okay, except that the device is still a little valuable, this tattoo doesn't mean much, I'll take the thing, and it's useless for you to keep it. ”
Yuri nodded, Master Aiden tidied up his clothes and prepared to leave, just walked a few steps and then turned back and said: "Count Yuri, although these things may not be true, everything related to the abyss is very dangerous, and it is not something you can touch now, when you want to do something, you need to do what you can, and it is not too cautious to be too cautious!"
Aiden sighed and shook his head and walked out, Yuri and the others watched him leave, and there was another almost inaudible voice around the corner, how good it was to be young......
Aiden, who turned the corner, took out the rubbing paper he had taken from Yuri as he walked, young man, your instincts were right. It is true that the Abyssal Dog will never close its eyes in its life, but the Abyss Dog will close its eyes after death!
Yuri looked at the direction Aiden left a little stunned, Hook called twice and didn't respond, Hook shook his hand in front of Yuri, "What are you shaking!" Yuri slapped off the hand in front of him and glared at Hook, "Ahem! Master..." Hook touched his head a little embarrassed, Yuri glared at him, and then turned his head to look in the direction Aiden left, "Young Master, what are you thinking? Is there something over there?"
"Fuck off!"
......
"Didn't you notice that there was something wrong with this old fellow's words? He must have hidden something that he didn't want us to know, he wanted us to give up the investigation, and he took everything away!"
"Young Master, you mean..."
"Yes, he probably doesn't want us to continue to track down these things, those suppression devices should be locatable, and the pattern can be certain, it's the abyssal dog he said! The guy behind this must be related to the abyss or has the power of the abyss, and the forces or individuals who can have access to this power are indeed not within our reach!"
Yuri suddenly felt a little powerless, but then he remembered that his greatest reliance was not the power of the Duke's Palace, not the power of the Empire, but his own system! When will you be able to show your strength! I need strength now! "No! My current personality seems to be somewhat integrated with my original personality? I shouldn't be so impatient! Everything is still unknown, and all dangers are based on reasoning and prediction, and there is no conclusion! What am I worried about so much?"
Anyway, things still have to be done, "Hook, tomorrow you accompany me to Ba Wen, there are some supplies there, and the materials will be transported here directly, and there is no need to send them to the Duke's Palace..."
It was close to the early hours of the morning when Yurias returned to the Duke's Palace, returned to his bedroom, washed up, lay down on the bed, and opened his system panel with some urgency...
