Chapter 212: Entering the Stronghold

A sign of the progress of human civilization is the popularization of spar lamps.

When an inventor named Addison invented the world's first spar lamp hundreds of years ago, he probably never imagined that his inadvertent invention would have such a profound impact on human civilization.

The night of the human settlement is also lit up because of this. People bid farewell to the regular routine of sunrise and sunset, and began to have a nightlife.

The brightness of the night can even be said to reflect the degree of development of a place from the side aspect.

And the academy town is a place in the middle and upper part of the entire Maleno Empire.

Su Wen, who flew down from the night sky and landed steadily in the uninhabited alley, naturally did not attract anyone's attention because of the cover of the shadows cast by the surrounding lights.

The warehouse in front of you is the place where Ellie is located, which is also one of the strongholds of the Doruffin Brotherhood.

The door of the warehouse was ajar, and Su Wen walked in directly after making sure that there was no one inside. There is no lighting in the warehouse, but through the windows high in the walls, some of the faint lights of the street can be brought in, and it is not completely discredited.

However, for Su Wen, light was not a problem at all.

Looking around, Su Wen found a secret door through the accumulation of dust and wine barrels on the ground, and this secret door led to the underground. In other words, under this warehouse, there is still an unknown amount of space, which is the stronghold of the Doruffin Brotherhood. This warehouse, just a cover.

To Su Wen's surprise, the secret door of this warehouse was actually opened like this?

And it looks like it was actually destroyed by violence...... That's a little intriguing...... Could it be that Ellie really had a plan to destroy the Doruffin Brotherhood single-handedly?

However, Su Wen's ultimate goal was to find Barot, so Su Wen didn't plan to waste too much time, and walked directly into the secret door.

After passing through a long, spiraling down staircase, Su Wen found that the underground of this warehouse could almost be described as a cave.

This is a dungeon, and from the point of view of the art style, it seems to be a relic. Thinking of the basement in Grahan, as well as the rumors about the underground ruins in the academy and the records of some materials in the library, Su Wen deduced that a few years ago, the altitude here was much lower than it is now.

And at that time, there were human buildings here, but later, for some reason, these buildings were buried, and later, humans reappeared in this place, and on top of this ruins, the Maleno Imperial College and the current Academy Town were built.

Unexplored places, on Su Wen's map, are also a fog. But Su Wen followed some traces on the ground and still found the right direction.

As soon as he took a few steps, he saw two people lying next to the passage. The two of them were still breathing, but they were in a coma, and from the outside, they still looked like young teenagers.

Their clothes are nothing special, but on their chests, they all have the same badge pinned to it, and this badge is the emblem of the Doroufen Brotherhood given in Josephine's information!

These two are members of the Doruffin Brotherhood!

Su Wen took a cursory look at it, and then sensed the magic fluctuation that remained here, and then followed this magic fluctuation and chased forward.

Ellie, I don't think she can do magic...... So, there are other people who use this magic!

After chasing only two passages, Su Wen heard the sound of magic exploding from behind the corner, so Su Wen did not hesitate and ran over directly.

What appeared in front of him was the ultimate purpose of his trip.

Balot.

Ballott was dressed in a gray robe that made it easy to move, and in her hand was the magic glove that was the prize for the shooting champion, and her hair was tied into a tight braid. At this time, she was surrounded by two magic bullets, and she was constantly retreating.

In front of her, two members of the Brotherhood badges are also directing magic bullets to confront Ballot.

The strength of the two is weaker than that of Balot, but the cooperation of the two makes Barot feel a little difficult, and since Su Wen saw them, Barot has taken a lot of steps back.

Su Wen stood at the end of the passage in such a big way, but because he didn't show a trace of breath, the three people who were engrossed in the battle didn't notice Su Wen's existence at all, and they were still guiding the magic, attacking each other and dodging.

In a narrow passage, or in an underground space, this kind of battle has a bit of a turn-based boring feeling.

Since Barot appeared alive in front of Su Wen's eyes like this, there was nothing to worry about. Su Wen simply watched these students fight.

Probably due to the training results of the combat practice class, Barot's movement is quite spiritual, but the two people on the opposite side take turns to guide the release of the magic bullet with tacit understanding, and the connection is smooth, such a movement is just enough to keep it from being hit by the magic bullet, and it is difficult to make a counterattack.

If this continues, Barot will be defeated.

Su Wen had not been watching for more than two minutes when he heard a rush of footsteps coming from the passage in the distance. Hearing this noise, the faces of the two people opposite were obviously happy, and Barot's face became ugly.

Contrary to Su Wen's assumption, when the reinforcements of the three members of the Dorufen Brotherhood arrived, they did not shout or persuade them to surrender or anything, but directly began to guide the spell, and one of the players who was good at hand-to-hand combat had already rushed over with fighting spirit.

It seems that he will directly take down the intruder Barot.

It's right! This is like a normal person! When a normal person faces the enemy, how can he have time to beep with you, and the villain dies from talking too much, that's a law that only appears in literary and artistic works!

Su Wen almost couldn't help but applaud these people.

After estimating the strength of the five people on the opposite side, Barot immediately made a decision and immediately retreated, and before retreating, he also set all the magic bombs around him to the opposite side, so as to block the opponent's attack to buy time to retreat.

Her face was extremely serious, and she seemed to have three points of self-blame and regret, and the strength of the Doruffin Brotherhood was more than enough to defeat an intruder of her level.

Barot turned around and began to rush forward, because her attention was focused on the enemy behind her, so she didn't notice Su Wen standing at the end of the passage.

In fact, this is not to blame Balot, in a dim place, the dynamic vision of human beings is significantly stronger than static vision, so she immediately regarded Su Wen as the environment next to her, and rushed to the place.

Two seconds after hearing the crisp explosion of the mana bullet behind him, Barot suddenly had a strange feeling.

Why, they didn't chase after me?

This curiosity made Barot can't help but look back-

The two magicians who were fighting her, including the reinforcements, and even the warrior who rushed over, actually stopped at this moment and looked in her direction with some wariness.

What's going on?

Barot frowned, but her feet didn't stop, and she still took a step forward. She had to get out of this dangerous place, and while she didn't know why they stopped, it had to be a great opportunity!

Thinking like this, Barot did not delay, turned his head, and continued to retreat.

However, when she turned around and ran two steps, her whole body slammed into something, and the sudden impact made Barot a little dazed.

Before she became aware of her surroundings, Barlot's mind was full of two wordsโ€”it's over.

How can it be...... I remember the retreat here, don't you...... Did I miscalculate?

If she falls here, then there is almost a ninety-eight percent chance that Barot will be caught by the members of the Doroufen Brotherhood who reacted, and then what awaits her should be the harsh torture and cruel fate mentioned in the book......

Obviously, in this case, she even forgot the life-saving pendant that Su Wen gave her all the time with her.

When Barot lost her balance and was about to fall to the ground, she suddenly felt her shoulders being grabbed, and then a gentle force brought her to a halt in mid-air, stabilizing her body.

Huh??

After Barot returned to her position, she fixed her gaze, and then her eyes widened for a moment, and in front of her was a familiar figure.

Even if the light was dim, she could distinguish the ordinary face of this figure, because his indifferent expression was so special......

"How are you??"

"Ah, that's me. โ€

In this case, of course, Su Wen didn't have time to chat with Barot. So when Barot wanted to say something, he helped her to the side.

Barot only felt like a piece of goods, picked up by Su Wen, and then set aside, and then, she saw Su Wen standing in front of her, facing the people of the Doruffin Brotherhood.

Su Wen didn't have a trace of the fighting spirit or magic aura that leaked out of his body, but looking at his calm attitude, several people in the Doruffin Brotherhood were obviously on guard.

"Who are you?"

A medium-sized man, speaking in a standard and subdued official dialect, asked Su Wen.

This kind of extremely standard accent is probably only known to the students of Calamus Academy, right?

"Su Wen. Su Wen said his name, then paused, and added, "You can call me, Teacher Su Wen." โ€

Teacher Su Wen?

Several people looked at each other, but there were also two people, and they reacted instantly, this name is the teacher of the combat practice class who is well-known in the academy!

A teacher has found a stronghold of the Doruffin Brotherhood?

This is the first time in the history of the Doroufen Brotherhood that this kind of thing has occurred. So these five students, who can almost be regarded as core members, also don't know what to do for a while.

So...... Or do you want to dispose of it?

In normal times, the Doroufen Brotherhood is extremely reluctant to provoke the teachers and leaders related to the college, and not only that, but it will also change its methods to win over some teachers who seem to be weak-willed, and use coercion and inducement to facilitate their actions.

So what kind of attitude does this Su Wen have?

Su Wen's attitude, in fact, they don't need to guess.

Because, Su Wen had already unfolded a magic array in the air.

The magic array with flowing magic power was about one meter in diameter, and the complexity of the spell patterns on it almost exceeded the graduation project of a graduate of the Department of Magic! And the surging magic power in it was naturally showing several people the danger contained in it.

Not good!!

The magic array that appeared at this moment shocked the five members of the Dorufen Brotherhood, but by the time they reacted, it was too late.

In the magic array in front of Su Wen, an extremely strong wave of magic power was sprayed, and this magic wave, in the blink of an eye, hit the bodies of the five people one after another, and then, these five members of the Dorupfen Brotherhood, as if they had been hit on the head with a hammer, flew backwards in an instant, and then hit the wall heavily and lost consciousness.

The passage instantly returned to quiet, and Su Wen also waved his hand slightly, sweeping the magic array into a cloud of light slag.

"......" Barot was probably in a state of downtime, just like this, she was still regarded as the enemy of life just now, but now she has become a fish on the board, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Su Wen turned around and shook his hand in front of her eyes, which allowed Ballot's primordial spirit to return to its place. Su Wen smiled playfully, looked at Barot like this, and didn't speak.

And Balotte also experienced too many things at a time, and didn't know where to start, so he held back for a long time before whispering "Thank you." โ€

"Don't be so reckless next time. Su Wen also smiled and didn't say anything to Barot.

With Ballot's intelligence level, of course, he can sum up a lot of experience and truth from this incident, and Su Wen is also quite clear about this.

And then ...... What to do?"

"It's all here, let's go inside and have a look, or else take this den out by the way?"

Su Wen casually mentioned it and walked forward, and Barot also followed behind Su Wen. Balotte's mood at this time was quite complicated, in addition to the happiness of not dying, there was also a little excitement and curiosity.

To use a metaphor to describe it, it probably feels like being swiped by a large number when playing an online game.

There was nothing left in this dungeon, and if there were, it had been emptied by previous generations of Doruffin Brotherhood members, and all that was left was a stronghold that served as a shell.

Therefore, Su Wen did not stop along the way, and walked straight to the depths of the stronghold.

In Su Wen's heart, there is still something he cares about.

That's this place, there should be an Ellie, but judging from the reinforcements, the rear of the Doruffin Brotherhood still seems to be in a stable state.

So, where did Ellie go?

Don't......

Su Wen was a little faintly worried, even when he was 100 percent confident in Ellie's strength, this kind of worry also existed.

It's like when you're an adult, your parents still tell you to stay safe before you go out.

This dungeon is very large, like a labyrinth, but Su Wen still found some marks left by the Doruffin Brotherhood on this way, and after a simple comparison and analysis, he screened out the correct path - the Doruffin Brotherhood is cautious, and even the internal guidance markers have some traps that confuse the enemy.

After walking a few steps, Su Wen suddenly stopped, carefully scanning his perception in the direction they came.

"How...... What's wrong?"

"There are monsters. Su Wen said softly, and then pulled Ballot behind him.

From the feeling point of view, the aura of this monster is quite special, and it is by no means the kind that Ellie has. Could it be ...... Is there a monster in this kind of dungeon?
