Although Devia and Lindemann did not speak along the way, there was no conflict, and they knew that the overall situation should be the most important thing at this time.

Everyone first used the commercial teleportation array to come to the Westport Republic in Itkanria, this teleportation array controlled by Miss Lantony Salian has been used many times, and each time the mission can be successfully completed, I hope this time is no exception.

They then rode along the post road through the border pass into the southeastern part of the kingdom of Franços. The princesses of the kingdom's side line have been showing off their power since they entered their own territory, and all the counties they have passed through have received everyone with the highest standards.

It turned out that when he knew that he could make a contribution to the Western Continent and the Orthodox Church, His Royal Highness Devya immediately informed his cousin and arranged everything in advance. In this way, she and her teammates traveled unhindered to the southwestern border of François, by the nearest town to the mission's target, the small town of Tabes.

At the request of Tivya, the six of them rested for two more days in this small city located at the northern foot of the Pyrenees, as if they were waiting for someone, anyway, staying in the best hotel in the area, Salian with good wine and beautiful people certainly didn't care.

By the early morning of the third day, the neighing of the horses woke Salian, or Yulia, and her arm was on Salian, sobering the duke.

From the small window of his room, he saw a sturdy knight in a large cloak jumping off a famous Andalusian stallion into the inn. Later, while Salian was having breakfast with Yulia and Teresa and Sebastian, the man in the cloak was seen walking out of Devya's room.

Beneath a black velvet wide-brimmed hat with white feathers is a pair of grim eyes, towering cheekbones, and a falcon-like nose. The long sword hanging from his waist propped up the cloak, revealing the short gun and short sword that were also pinned to his waist, and I have to say that this person's appearance is indeed extraordinary, and it will definitely attract the attention of others.

If you look closely, it turns out that he is an old acquaintance of Sallian, and in a sense, a lifelong enemy, the vice-captain of the black team of the royal guard of the Kingdom of Franços, and one of the four heroes, Count Baz de Castelmo.

"Haha, hello!

"You are...... Duke Salian von Hohenstelingen and Imperial Count Sebastian von Riederingen, I see, you are the teammate who accompanied His Highness Stevea!"

They recognized each other and exchanged pleasantries.

"Exactly. Salian stood up and saluted slightly, "Sir, I see that your boots are covered with mud, you must have come here day and night, if you don't dislike it, can you have breakfast with us!?"

"Well, since I received the order four days ago, I immediately arrived in Leon from Sidai with a teleportation circle, and then traveled day and night, riding a hundred and twenty fathoms, and finally arrived on time this morning. I haven't had a good rest at all, and I'm really hungry now!"

The Earl, who was also a bold man, pulled over a chair and sat down at Salian's table, poured himself a glass of gin, and feasted on it while talking to the two nobles of the Divine Grace Empire.

It turned out that this martial arts ranger swordsman was not very lucky, and on the day he was on an errand in the palace according to the schedule, it happened that Princess Divea's secret letter was delivered to the king, and the king saw De Castellmo standing beside him, and thought that he was a native of Tarbes and had extraordinary skills, so he sent him to help the princess complete the task. One hundred and twenty miles is four hundred and eighty kilometers, and he is indeed very tired.

"My ancestors used to own hundreds of Arbont lands around Tarbes, and they were the largest nobles here, but unfortunately our family is not good at managing them, and we have lost all our land in the last three hundred years, leaving only a lonely castle, and if I have the opportunity to take you to see it, she still looks pretty anyway. ”

"You have good wine here, but the bread is too hard. ”

"Your Excellency, we are one of the most backward places in Franços, and we can't buy high-end white bread, and the bread here is mixed with pea flour or broad bean flour, so it has scared off several delicate bishops!

In the absence of Princess Devia and Lindemann, who would be at least the future archbishop, they even made jokes about "maliciously flaunting" high-ranking religious figures.

Although there will be a war between the Divine Grace Empire and the Kingdom of François for the hegemony of the Western Continent in the future, it does not prevent the nobles from developing friendship with each other, and as the leaders of the younger generation, Salian, Sebastian and Buzz soon become friends.

Later, the princess and Lindemann also appeared in the lobby of the inn, and after eating, they spent another two days under the guidance of Buzz, who knew the way, and finally reached the destination of the mission, a guardian camp in the mountains of the Pyrenees.

"Welcome, young Guardian of the Plane, I am Davidushka, a professor at the Seven Towers Academy of Magic. ”

They were greeted by an old man half-orc of the Foxtail Clan wearing a robe, the Foxtail Clan is known for its intelligence, and there are many magicians in history. Salian felt that the mana around the magician in front of him was full of energy, and it seemed that his strength was very strong.

"Hello, we are from the August Academy, a total of seven people. Salian, as the leader of the team, stepped forward to answer at this time.

"Uh, I think you're supposed to be six people, three men and three women, why are there more men now?"

The old fox frowned and flipped through the information in his hand and asked.

Salian replied with a smile: "Haha, I think that our aspiring young people in the Western Continent should serve the main plane without distinguishing between each other, this Count of Baz de Castelmo, he is a well-known wise and brave man in the Kingdom of Franços, he will definitely help us." ”

"That being said, fighting the Abyss Demon is an extremely risky thing to do, and it can be life-threatening at any time. Have you thought about it?" the professor remained skeptical of their motives.

"Haha! I had already seen the bravery of Count de Castellmo when I faced Suleiman the Magnificent outside the city of Severus. ”

"Yes, for the sake of the Western Continent and Orthodox Christianity, I am not a problem. ”

Seeing that they were so persistent, the professor couldn't say much.

"Alright then, this is the latest map, please refer to it, but the Conscription Fortress is a dungeon directly teleported from the Abyss plane, and the situation inside may change at any time. ”

As a result of the map, Salian asked curiously.

"Thank you, so are there two more people from the academy here?"

"Well, the team of the Demon Martial Arts Academy in the Valley has entered the dungeon yesterday, and our people from the Seven Towers Magic Academy will be able to arrive the day after tomorrow. ”

"Hehe, it seems that we are a team looking ahead. ”

Leaving the camp, Salian and his teammates gathered to discuss what to do.

According to the latest map, this dungeon has three entrances, and the interior is intertwined, and the people of the Demon Martial Arts Academy in the Valley chose the northern entrance, and Salian didn't want to follow others in, so they finally chose the western entrance.

"Everyone, let's go immediately, we can't let others take the lead!"

There is also a huge stone at the entrance and exit of the western part of the country, and the ancients did not deceive me.

"Dear Sebastian, sure enough, the strength of the dungeon is distinguished by the size of the stone at the entrance, you see, this stone is a small mountain, and it is a rare pure black. ”

The Imperial Earl agreed with the Duke of New Mark.

"Well, the ruins of the Central and Southern Regions of the Empire are also in this style, could it be that the demons have also appeared in our hometown in the past?"

"Haha, it's very likely, because we didn't know anything about the Guardians of the Plane. ”

"Both, I've seen this stone in other parts of Franços, and the devil is really close to us!" Buzz said.

All three were aristocrats imbued with the spirit of medieval chivalric romanticism, and they naturally flocked to work that could serve humanity at the same time as it could take risks. The three of them laughed and entered the cave next to the boulder.

"Salian, I feel bad here, our strength should be partially suppressed. ”

"Yes, I feel it too. I think it may be because this was originally the Recruiting Fortress of the Abyss, and it itself is also connected to the Abyss Plane, and the composition of matter is different from the main matter plane, which cannot fully support our intake of energy. ”

"Your Excellency the Duke has a point. ”

"Haha, let's call me Salian, my duke is the last in the empire. ”

Despite the difficulties, everyone still moved forward optimistically, with the three girls in the middle and Lindemann behind. They observed their surroundings and found that the types of buildings here were peculiar, whether it was the roads or the walls, they were made of a lot of steel, without any fancy decorations, and everything was mainly practical. Huge gears and pipes can be seen everywhere, and the intense heat can be felt when you get closer, indicating that there is a wealth of mana in it.

"This is still the periphery of the fortress, and there should only be a small number of patrols, so let's find a hiding place to hide and then improvise. ”

They searched the map and came to a pre-marked safe zone, which turned out to be a large discarded metal canister for which they did not know what it was for.

"Brother, this thing is a bit similar to the big vat of stewed meat in the cafeteria, but it is a hundred times bigger. ”

"Haha, bring it back and put the whole dragon in it and stew. ”

Detectives who have been here have even written in small print on the map very thoughtfully: there will be a patrol here every day on time, consisting of a captain and three soldiers, remember not to kill, and they have automatic alarm devices on their bodies.

Salian took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and the hands indicated that there were ten minutes left until the hour.

"Sebastian, you said that demons can be controlled by the horror mysteries. ”

"In principle, the terrifying secret art invades the neuronal cells of living beings, and according to me, demons are also intelligent beings with entities, they are not pure energy creatures, and the brain and spine should also be composed of these cells, even if the structure is slightly different, the essence is still the same. ”

"Well, then let's go and ambush, don't kill them, just grab some tongues. Others, please support here. ”

Lindemann, who had been very low-key all the way, volunteered to say to Salian at this time.

"Your Excellency, divine magic can imprison demons, let me go too, I can help you!"

"Haha, it would be great to have the help of the priest! Then please hide with the rest of the staff, and the three of us will go out and find some opportunities!"
