Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ashes of Smoke

"This guy is also from our team?" Tashi struggled to look up at Aragorn, then scanned the surroundings without tears. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This team is the most bizarre team Lyle Magis has ever seen, and there are everyone.

"Looks like we're all here, we're the first to assemble!" Hagli crossed a few men to Aragorn, as strong as him, but also a head shorter than Aragorn.

Hercules reached out and patted Aragorn on the shoulder, "Behave well, Aragorn. ”

"Of course!" Aragorn's ugly face hid a composure.

"Well-the temporary captain of your team is Ike, you'd better communicate before you go, of course, if you have any objections, you can raise them now!"

"No opinion!" Tashi, Cassie, and Hathaway nodded without hesitation.

"Neither did I. Nafi chuckled as she played with a seed-like object in her hand.

This surprised Tashi, who thought that the gentleman would jump out.

"Since it was formulated by Dean Hercule, I have no opinion. Dante took a step forward.

"I don't care. Aragon glanced at Ike faintly, and a seeping smile appeared on his lips.

"He's okay. Arsati pouted, and it was kind of recognized.

"Alright, come with me!" Herculi turned his head, where a metal-clad hovercraft was parked.

Syllable!

The small door popped open, and several people got into the car one by one, using this expensive means of transportation to pick up and drop off the new students, which I am afraid can only be done by an ancient academy like Lyle Magis.

Sou!

The hoverizer slowly rose, and finally turned into an afterimage, disappearing into the crowded and lively square.

"You go over a little!" Tashi glared at Nafi next to him, who smiled evilly, but didn't argue.

Ike rubbed his eyes with a headache, knowing that the place he was going to was a lair! Not sloppy at all! But there were too many discordant factors in the team, and these things were extremely deadly in battle!

"You'd better settle down and go up to the lair, you'll kill your companions sooner or later!" Aragorn's deep, magnetic voice sounded.

"Cut, he'd better settle down!" Tashi disagreed, "I don't know why this guy was stuffed in!"

"Alright, Tashi, don't talk from now on!" Hathaway began.

"Cousin, you know me..." Tashi tried to explain, but was defeated by Hathaway's eyes.

Arsatti, Cassie, and Dante all closed their eyes and rested, decisively refusing to participate in such a thing.

In the rumbling flight, everyone finally had a fairly harmonious journey.

The Grey Smoke section of the Black Forest is located to the east of Doco, and an invisible barrier encompasses two-thirds of the area, and the rest of the surrounding territory is taken over by the elite soldiers of the Gamma Empire.

War buildings made of steel towered around the lair, and the solemn expressions of the soldiers turned into eternal symbols, which was their ultimate mission.

The white tent was the only tone of the barracks, and a large number of soldiers patrolled back and forth, which was also the destination of everyone.

Zila――

The hoverizer stopped steadily on the main road being built, and the soldiers who had been waiting at the door for a long time greeted them.

"Hyde, long time no see. Hercule, who got out of the car, greeted a rugged man in black armor.

"Of course, Dean Hergri. Holding the big sword at his waist, the man said expressionlessly.

Hercules shrugged, obviously understanding the character of the man in front of him.

"These eight children are the ones who will enter the Gray Smoke Lair this time. ”

"Are you sure?" said Hyde David, no one knew the lair better than his captain.

"Of course, it's the dean's orders. Herculi nodded.

"If something happens, you Lyle Magis will be responsible for it. Hyde soothed his face, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers withdrew from the bunkers that were blocking the front.

Jingle Bell -

The chain around his waist kept shaking and banging, and Hyde said as he walked, "I really don't know which crazy you guys are sending, how can the Gray Smoke Lair be the assessment location for these children!

"Hyde, they just need to get through the nest, not destroy it!I'm sure they have a chance to succeed!" Hergli retorted, "You know, they're the best kids I've ever met!"

"No matter how good it is, it's just a young eagle that hasn't grown yet!" Hyde suddenly paused and turned to snap, "I've seen too many people die in the Gray Smoke Lair!"

"But they won't be included!" Hercules looked at Hyde solemnly.

"Crazy people!" Hyde kicked up a rock and pointed ahead, "That hill is the entrance, you know the rules!"

"Thank you, Hyde!" Hagli beckoned, "Go!

A hint of worry flashed in Hyde's brown eyes, which had been left in place, and finally turned into a long sigh.

Ike and the others looked at this military restricted area curiously, and they couldn't take their eyes off it when they came to the lair for the first time.

"Is this the lair?" said Dante, stunned.

"It's just the lowest lair. Aragorn suddenly spoke.

"Could it be that you've been to a lair of the high?" Tashi said.

Aragorn tilted his head to stare at Tashi, his scalp tingling at the sight!

"Talia Alados Feguri!"

A strange string of notes wafted out of Aragorn's throat, confusing to the head.

"What the hell is this guy talking about?" Tashi scratched his head and turned to his erudite cousin, Hathaway, for help.

"All I know is a type of Titan language, but I don't know the specifics!" Hathaway shook her head.

In the crowd, Ike swallowed his saliva with a grunt, and he understood!

Death Sanctuary Lair!

A hellish lair in the scorching desert!

The topic passed quickly, but the question that stayed in Ike's mind did not disappear, this Aragorn was not simple! He could even feel the demonic aura on his face!

No, it's not that Aragorn is a demon, it's the scars!

"Stop!" Hercules said.

Now in front of everyone was a huge bronze door, which was wide open, and white distorted light waves meandered through it, apparently a spatial passage.

"I'll say one last thing, you won't have a chance to turn back through this door, you can only pass through the Gray Smoke Lair!Reach the exit on the other side of the end!" Herculi said solemnly, finally showing a few hints of the dean's momentum, "It's too late to give up now, otherwise death will accompany you!"

"Do you want us to go back after you've come here?" said Tashi, holding his hands on his chest.

"I'd like to see the lair!" Hathaway said earnestly, pushing the glasses.

"I want to too!" replied to the rest of the group.

"Well, I'll be waiting for you at the end of there, and when the time comes, no one will be missing!" Hercule's smile was full of bitterness and worry.

Knock! Knock!

Heavy war drums beat and roar!

Woo!

The clear horn is whistling!

This is a send-off war song!

Bang Bang Bang!

The white waves of light changed from dim to shining, and the space passage was ready!

"Good luck!" said Hercule, waving his arms, as he watched as the man disappeared into the doorway. "Remember, be careful when you enter the lair!

Squeak!

The bronze gates will begin to close, and the entire lair will be locked down, this is a gladiatorial arena!

Survival of the fittest!

Everything in the outside world has nothing to do with the eight, and at this moment they have landed in a desolate complex.

A city that once thrived during the peaceful reign of the Sixth Age is now in ruins!

The ruins of the ruins were covered with waist-high green weeds, and there were black flakes of debris and rubble, which was a cry of dried blood!

"It smells terrible!" Tashi pinched his nose, the smell of fish in the air was irritating.

Boom!

Aragorn instantly untied the large shield on his back and put it on his arms, and the whole person was like a frightened bird, constantly patrolling the surrounding situation.

Arcane Sense!

Ike immediately turned on his arcane sense, spreading along the pale blue arcane elements to the surroundings, probing the situation.

In a stone building that had not yet collapsed, more than a dozen breaths were mottled with murderous intent.

"There, there's an enemy!" said Ike softly.

Syllable!

Hathaway tapped on the keyboard, and the watch in her hand projected a three-dimensional image in mid-air, which was a map of the entire ruins!

"We're at the entrance, and if we want to get through the ruins, we have to go through here, and here!"

"Gray Smoke Lair, so that's it. Dante looked up at the sky, where the place that should have been blue was now covered in a gray smoke screen, and the oppressive and gloomy atmosphere was like a large net that shrouded everyone's hearts.

"Be careful!" Nafi suddenly moved, and a green shadow flashed on his arm, which suddenly brought a red dot.

Syllable!

Above the ground, a round, slap-like rat-like creature struggled.

"Demon Mouse. Cassie ended its life with a single ice arrow.

The demon rat is one of the most common creatures in the nest, with blood-red eyes and a brutal personality, often gathering together, causing unimaginable rat tides.

"I can't think of it. Tashi raised an eyebrow, Nafi was the only one of them who had seen the strange mouse, and he didn't see what the green shadow was.

Nafi ignored Tashi, and instead came to Hathaway and said, "Are you alright?"

Hathaway's heart was beating fast, and she nodded in a daze, she was the target of the demon rat's attack just now.

"Be courteous!" Tashi muttered, but he didn't stop Nafi from doing so.

"Be careful, this is no longer Erlo's safe territory!remember what the Dean said, this is the battlefield!" Ike reminded.

"Let me go ahead and find the way, I have stealth and hiding!" Arsati clenched the long knife in his hand, his body twisted like an image, and disappeared in place.

"Good. Ike shook his head, is Arte asking for his opinion?

Entering the shadows, Arty cautiously walked forward, following the direction indicated by Ike.

Climbing over the broken pillars and the mess, a ruined stone house appeared in front of him.

There was a bonfire burning in front of the stone house, and there were piles of bones all around, which looked like magical beasts. And in the northeast corner of the stone house, more than a dozen skulls are piled up!

As Arti observed, a green, inexplicable creature emerged from the collapsed building.

He was only half a man tall, with a pointed mouth and pointed ears, surrounded by animal skins, and ate a miserable white bone stick in his hand.

The lowest, but most non-negligible class in the goblin's lair, is first-class cannon fodder, but even so, they still have strength close to the second order.

"Demons!" Artale's eyes turned red, and his mind was full of Ake's figure, he didn't care much, he directly broke the stealth state, and charged forward with a long knife.

"Wow, ahhhh

His movements naturally attracted the attention of the little goblin, and he shouted and quickly charged out.

Shadow Slash!

Arte turned into a black shadow, and the edge in his hand flickered, slashing straight at the little goblin.

Shhh

Purple blood spilled all over the ground, and a blood line appeared on the neck of a little goblin!

"The first one!" a three-petaled moon pupil appeared in Arti's eyes, and the color of blood descended again, covering the long blade. "Ark, watch, watch me avenge you!

"Wow, wow!" The fight also sent the remaining goblins out, and they saw their companions' bodies all angry and rushed into a frenzy.

Arty walked through it with his long knife and speed, and although he didn't kill another one, he also caused a lot of damage, but his body was also hit several times!

Whoa!

Just as he was in a bitter battle, one after another crystal arrows leaped from the sky and landed on the little goblin's body with precision, causing damage while slowing down the attack.

"Magma bomb!" Tashi took the lead, his hands turning into magma, and one after another orange-red orbs mixed with molten flames shot out, suppressing one another.

"The breeze that flows in the air, obey my call, and declare with fury the hatred of the heart—the Wind Blade!"

Brilliant magic has become the main theme of the battlefield, and the goblins are reeling in rounds of attacks.

Syllable!

Rumble!

Bonfires scattered, stone houses collapsed, and corpses fell to the ground!
