Chapter 7 Operation Zero (Part II)

After the tavernkeeper had carefully locked the door of the Black Vitex Rose, the two of them hurried in the direction of Luttesis Manor.

Pedestrians on the street threw surprised glances at Reda, who was dressed in a star-striped silk robe and holding a crystal staff, consciously getting out of the way and even hurriedly saluting. Jude vaguely remembers this as he had experienced it when he had returned to the tavern from the Duke of Nobles' mansion, and to the general public, the mage was probably a figure in a legend.

Now, however, two legendary characters are rushing to help the legendary characters of the story fight against terrifying monsters that even the legends never existed. Thinking of this, the young man became a little relaxed, and this kind of challenge beyond imagination seemed to lack a sense of reality, and even made him have a little idea of "life and death".

As Jude was in his reverie, the commotion suddenly came from the south of the town, and the young man who turned his head to look at it immediately saw the fire and smoke, and then realized that it was the Red Turban Brotherhood that had also begun to act.

When he learned from the tavernkeeper that the Entropy Demon was located deep underground in the Lutsis Manor, the boy had already understood the intentions of the Red Turban Brotherhood.

Knowing Roy's plans and the mercenaries' professional ethics, Jude no longer worries about Mejia or the other townspeople, apparently that such a feint would not do them any harm, and was only going to attract the attention of the town guards and the manor guards.

According to Roy, they had made "preparations" in the Viscount Manor through the feint attack the day before, probably some kind of path to the underground. But were they really enough to dig a tunnel during yesterday's riots?

In any case, without further ado, it is imperative to hurry. The boy and Reda looked at each other, then tacitly quickened their pace.

-

For a mage like Reda, there is naturally no need to use means such as tunnels. As Jude expected, the two of them came to a corner outside the southwest wall of Lutisis Manor, and the tavernkeeper had not even chanted a incantation, and the young man's eyes flashed with white light, and then he realized that they were already in some kind of huge underground cavern.

The light that came in from nowhere barely illuminated the vast space inside the cavern, and to his surprise, Roy had arrived before them, and was alone.

The middle-aged man was dressed the same as yesterday, standing by the underground lake in the middle of the cave and staring at the middle of the lake, except that he wore a short sword with a sheath at his waist.

It should be the red sword Caias mentioned by Joshua, Jude was thoughtful, and was about to step forward to greet him, but the other party suddenly turned around: "You are indeed here, Jude." ”

"You know I'm coming, and what about the mercenaries?" Roy's words surprised the boy, who realized that the other party might have experienced some of Leia's memories, and probably knew that he would not fail her beliefs.

"There's no need to implicate them. As for you, boy, I really didn't misunderstand you. The middle-aged man's gaze contained some approval, and he then looked at the tavern owner beside Jude, "Your Excellency should be the blue ...... they named."

"That's right, it's me, just call me Reda. Ruida interrupted the other party's words, "Although it is calculated, this is indeed my obligation. Hurry up and clean up this guy, I'll have to go back to the tavern to take care of business. ”

The word blue made Jude a little concerned, and the tavernkeeper looked blue for a moment, and the boy did not understand it for a while.

Just as he was about to ask, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble without warning, and at the same time, a strong gravitational pull appeared out of thin air. Quickly pulled out the black sword and stuck it on the ground to resist the invisible force that pulled him towards the center of the lake, but Jude found that Roy and Reda on the side only leaned back slightly, and did not seem to be affected too much by gravity.

Is this due to the huge difference in strength? Thinking back to the time when he faced the necromancer Mordres in the Cathedral of the Wind District, the young man couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and it was true that he was fighting alongside two legendary figures worthy of admiration.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the inexplicable pull to subside, and Jude quickly straightened up and put away the black sword, only to realize that it was not gravity that dissipated, but the tavernkeeper who had blessed himself with some protective spell.

After thanking Reda for his gratitude, the boy notices a strange pitch-black mass churning over the central lake. As it twisted and chaotically stirred, the water below was pumped up, and the water and dust on the surrounding ground were sucked away, while the mass of objects continued to expand, becoming more and more chaotic and loose.

It seemed that even the light was sucked away by it, and the visibility in the cave quickly decreased, and it was not long before it became dark.

Looking back at the two beside them, Roy and the tavern owner both looked solemn and didn't say a word, Jude thought for a moment, and then proposed: "Now that entropy demon is ...... Should we attack before it takes shape?"

"The entropy demon of the new world is highly dangerous. Reda seemed to consider the wording, explaining as succinctly as possible, "At this point, it is in a state of instability and is less affected by the repulsion of the plane. There is a high probability that rash action will lead to its disintegration and collapse, which in turn will lead to unpredictable disasters. ”

"Once its entity has taken shape and stabilized, the entropy demon's repulsion to the plane will increase, and its movement will be greatly limited until it adapts, making it the best time to attack. The tavernkeeper continued, "And in fact, our goal is not to destroy the entity of the Entropy, but to use the 'rejection' of the main material plane to banish it back to the Void. ”

The boy was a little confused by the unfamiliar technical terms, and he tried to extract the key information: "So we don't want to destroy it, but to get rid of it?"

"There are serious logical problems with this statement, but in short, it is exactly what you think. ”

Jude was about to smile wryly when Jude continued, "Besides, it is extremely difficult to attempt to banish the Entropy Demon alone, and it is usually much easier to exile it along with the entities formed by the matter it attracts. ”

"Jude, there is a medicine called 'kaolinite powder' that is commonly used to treat diarrhea. Seeing that the boy had difficulty understanding the complex theory of dealing with the entropy demon, Roy tried to make an analogy, "Pharmacology is to let the stone powder fix the toxins in the body, and then excrete them from the body. ”

As it sees, the entropy demon in the present world is similar to the toxin in the human body, and the entity formed by its adsorbed matter is as if it is fixed by stone powder, so it is limited by the repulsion of the so-called main matter plane, and it is easier to be banished back to the void.

"I see. Thank you so much, Roy. Unexpectedly, the unsmiling middle-aged man would make an image metaphor for himself, and Jude hurriedly thanked him.

Seeing that the entropy demon above the center of the lake seemed to take time to form, the boy continued to ask, "So, what can we do to manage to banish it?"
