Chapter 9: Lucien's Reminder (Second Request for Recommendation Votes)
A fierce wind blew, sweeping the sand and gravel of the blood-colored plains into the air again, sprinkling and spreading into the air, so that the sun that shone a little through the thick dust to the ground returned to a dark red, and the wild dogs with three heads dragged their tails from afar, feeding on the dead demons, and slowly growing scales on their bodies.
Their eyes were red, and they devoured corpses like a game, chewing up even the bones and swallowing them.
Atlante opened his eyes and looked at such a scene, and said in a soft and affectionate voice, "Do you want to enter the abyss now?"
He asks about Lucian, Natasha, and Malfurion's plan of action.
Malfurion simply cooperated with Lucian to prevent sudden changes in it and make the relationship between the Magic Council and the elves worse, so he didn't answer, and looked at Lucian with a hint of green pupils.
Lucien shook his head: "Tomorrow I will enter the abyss again, and I will stay in the Nameless Town today to see if I can find the problem." ”
Speaking of this, he smiled: "Entering the abyss to investigate is a relatively backward choice, and you shouldn't target the abyss without carefully searching and checking around. I don't want to waste my time, especially because of my own negligence, and I have to do it step by step. ”
"Good, let's focus on the next few of the things to look for in the town of the Nameless and the quirks of the surrounding area. Atlante agrees with Lucien.
Malfurion naturally had no opinion, and Lanhill and Selinda, who felt the power of the "Eternal Blazing Sun", were quite silent.
As she flew towards the town of the Nameless, Natasha asked through a telepathic connection, "Why do you want to go to the abyss? There's no need to take risks...... If you want to help me find a chance to fight. There's nothing wrong with waiting for the Demon Kings to strike in the town of the Nameless. ”
She believed that Lucien was not the kind of person who did not prioritize, so she was puzzled.
"This 'spatial fusion' is quite similar to one of my ideas, so I hope to be able to study it thoroughly and maybe find something 'something'. Lucien explained, looked back at the gap in the abyss, shook his head, and muttered to himself in the mental connection, "'Spatial fusion'......"
Natasha saw that Lucien had a purpose, so she nodded. Didn't say anything more. I felt like every cell was uplifted, eager to fight.
............
The town of the Nameless.
Mason and Fred's paced back and forth in the streets, surrounded by equally anxiously waiting adventurers, all eager to get out of here. Don't want to fall prey to the abyss.
"Boy. Stand still. You've bumped into me!" In such an atmosphere, a big man suddenly roared, and his bald head had a cyan pattern like tangled branches and leaves. It is one of the totems of the highland barbarians at the southern end of the Dark Mountains.
The young man who was roared by him carried a short bow on his back, and his right hand clenched a dark blue dagger that exuded a slight chill, and raised his emotions a little uncontrollably: "Barbarian, shut your mouth, this is not the place to play the loud voice, otherwise I don't mind letting you taste the taste of freezing." ”
Due to the commotion caused by the "Eternal Blazing Sun" just now, the short street was crowded with adventurers, and it was inevitable that they would collide with each other a little.
"Bastard, you must apologize to me, or I'll make you a nameless!" The barbarian was furious, and the muscles on his two-meter-tall body bulged and shimmered with a deep bronze sheen.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, a celestial knight's right hand turned into flames and slashed between them from top to bottom, causing the earth to crack a scorched black crack.
"Be quiet!" the Heavenly Knight's cold golden eyes glanced at the two knight-level adventurers.
Looking at the marks on the ground, both the savage and the young man took a step back, glared at each other, and then turned away.
Mason, who witnessed all this on the side, sighed: "After being locked down for a long time, and experiencing the previous demon tide and the death of many adventurers, everyone's mood seems to be more and more irritable and anxious, and a little thing will cause a bloody case." ”
Even he himself had a similar feeling of irritability and pain that he wanted to vent.
Fred's breath took a light breath, intending to criticize the elves' sluggish efficiency, and the lockdown hadn't been lifted for so long since the "Eternal Blazing Sun".
At this time, he suddenly raised his head with a feeling, only to see a strange change in the sky above the town, and the blue sky filled with blood-colored dust seemed to "fall" suddenly, low, depressing, and dim!
Then, half of the sky became brighter, and there was a changing light in it, sometimes showing an obscure gloom, like the presentation of the human heart, and the other half became more and more dim, more and more low, and at the last half, the blood faded, leaving only the deepest and deepest darkness, boundless darkness!
And in this darkness, there is a little bit of star-like twinkling, colorful, colorful and strange.
Looking at the scene of the vast abyss like a starry sky, looking at this scene of light and extinction like the human heart, Fred's suddenly fell into a state of distraction, his soul wandered, and he had no other consciousness for a long time.
I don't know how long later, the cool breeze with the smell of blood blew, and Fed shivered suddenly, seeing that the sky had long since returned to normal, and the dust still blocked the sunlight, no, not sunlight, but silver moonlight!
"Was it just a hallucination...... Fred turned his head and found Mason and the others all standing there like stone statues, the whole Nameless Town was surprisingly quiet, and even the giant dog in heat at the "Meat and Bones" bar didn't let out a roar.
"No, it's a half-plane projection, a half-plane ...... of a legendary magician," Mason said as if replying as if he were talking to himself.
Some rituals to help knights temper their bloodlines require communication and summoning the power of the legendary plane, just as the promotion of clergy in the Cult of Truth must communicate and summon the "Lord".
Fred's self-deprecating smile said, "This is the first time I've seen the Legendary Plane, not counting the 'Scarlet Plains'. ”
The lord of the Scarlet Plains, the Bloody King, is a legendary second-order demon who is likely to summon the power of the Scarlet Plains if a magician, cult, or knight with a special bloodline performs rituals in terms of blood and killing. So it's also a legendary plane.
"The council's two legendary mages have finally finished their check. Mason was viscerally tired, and at this point, it was already late at night.
............
In the polluted forest outside the town of the Nameless Man, there are trees that defy the normal rules, they bend wantonly, as if they have been mischievoked by children, and on the bark there are nodules, leaving blood-colored filth, hideous and disgusting.
"It's a forest that has been polluted by being too close to the abyssal crevice, but it's starting to weaken a hundred meters away, and it's almost normal at two hundred meters. It is difficult to afford the consistency required for 'spatial integration'. "The Hand of Balance," Lodell introduced, the only place nearby where it was possible to reconcile with the Abyss Parameter.
Lucien watched carefully for a moment. He checked it again with magic and nodded, "I can confirm that this place has nothing to do with the expansion of the abyssal rift." ”
Atlante came to a similar conclusion.
"Looks like I'm going to go to the abyss. "Malfurion is reluctant to go in, the god-like god of Abyssal Will is a complete lunatic. No one knew what he wanted to do next. Because even He doesn't know the Way, if He can't think about it for a while. What if you blow yourself up in front of yourself and others?
He is more worried about the will of the abyss without brains than the Lord of Hell, who has many conspiracies.
"'Spatial fusion' is still in its infancy, and it basically belongs to the Scarlet Plains and the Stroop Forest. This place is affected by the abyss, and it will also be suppressed by the main material world realm, and it is basically impossible for the injured abyssal will to descend on the blood-colored plain, just as it cannot directly descend on the main world realm. Lucien explained to Malfurion that this was the experience of dealing with the ancient Magic Empire.
Speaking of this, Lucien looked at Lanhill, Lodell, and Selendae, and said solemnly: "Since the investigation of the Fallen Elves incident has progressed, there is one thing I must remind you. ”
The "Day One Report" of Jurisian, Felipe, Heidi, and others had reached Lucien through electromagnetic teleportation, so their suspicions were known.
"What's the matter?" Lanhill's expression became solemn, no longer as arrogant as before, and there were many careful thoughts hidden in it.
Lucien roughly preached: "In the ancient ruins of the deepest part of hell, there are seven strange and inexplicable ancient demons, named after emotions such as hatred and pain...... As long as the corresponding emotions in the heart reach a certain level and cannot be expressed, and this emotion is strengthened through seemingly ordinary special rituals, and the belief in such an ancient devil is believed from the heart, then the devil seed hidden in everyone's heart will be revived, grow and sprout, and guide the corresponding ancient devil projection......"
“...... The magicians who followed us initially suspected that the Fallen Elves were infested by ancient demons......"
The Elves of the Ancient Devil's ...... have preserved the ancient books of civilization in good condition, so Malfurion, under Lucian's narration, recalls the legend that was assigned to the minstrels' tales.
His expression was very solemn, if there really was such a monster, it would be absolutely weird and difficult to prevent, more difficult to deal with than all the devil dukes and counts!
Lodell, Selendae, and Lanhill all chanted the names of the ancient devils, they had never imagined such a monster!
Lucien continued: "When I inspected the Nameless Town before, I found that the adventurers in the town were anxious, painful, tyrannical and restless because they had been trapped here for a long time and were in danger of a demonic attack, and they were at an abnormal critical point. ”
"I'll take care of this tedious matter. Atlante said.
............
The next day, Lucian, Natasha, and Malfurion made their way through the abyssal rift and into the Scarlet Plains.
In the Nameless Town, Mason and Fred, who had just finished resting, heard screams from below, and a great knight was seriously injured by a blow from the slightly uncontrollable Sky Knight, and blood was spilled all over the ground.
Looking at the bright red and dazzling liquid, the blood vessels in Mason's forehead jumped and jumped, and his vision seemed to be filled with it, and the strange and oppressive feeling became stronger and stronger, making him unable to bear it any longer.
"No, you can't stay here!"
He jerked to his feet, grabbed Fred, and rushed in the direction of the elven guards.
In the "Natural Residence", Julisian, Felipe and others, led by Alestine, went to find Martha, the "staff bearer". (To be continued......)
