122 Gates of Hell
Gandalf was obsessed with scientific experiments, and Duke hadn't seen him in a while, and the sudden revelation of something important to himself really made Duke a little curious.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the door of the medical laboratory, Duke said with an unhappy face: "Gandalf, I am also a city lord, and I am also a bit of a figure on the continent of Europa, so it's not good for you to call me a little guy." ”
Hearing this, Gandalf said with a contemptuous face: "With your strength, you really think that it is powerful to defeat a Spartan army, there are many terrifying existences on the continent, and you are not even qualified to enter their sight." Don't be too arrogant, little one. ”
"Damn, even if Storm Castle is not strong now, but I am also your lord, and you are the chief mage I recruited. It's always a little guy, and I'm too shameless, right?"
Hearing Duke say this, Gandalf replied disapprovingly: "Well, in the future, when there are many people in the public, I won't call you little one." ”
Damn! Duke couldn't help but gesture his middle finger at this guy, obviously he was the lord, but his subordinates were so arrogant. However, for the sake of Gandalf's almost Storm Castle's nuclear deterrent, Duke can only choose to endure this breath!
"By the way, what did you just say? Duke suddenly remembered that Gandalf had something to say to himself.
"During this time, in addition to being in the science laboratory, I also went to the Monster Valley, because the Monster Valley has been very abnormal recently, and the sentinels reported that the ice demons and other monsters in the entire periphery are almost completely informed, and it is not at all like a layout that will attack. ”
Hearing this, Duke nodded, and the sentinels had reported a long time ago that a large number of monsters had gathered on the periphery of the Monster Valley. At that time, Duke was nervous for a long time, desperately working in three shifts to produce the Storm Armor, preparing for the final struggle.
As a result, I didn't see the shadow of the monster army at all, and even the storm sentinels took the initiative to press forward, and they didn't find any abnormalities. This made Duke feel strange at the time, but it was a good thing that the monsters did not attack, as long as the time dragged on, as the winter passed, the strength of the two sides would fade from one to the other, and the balance of victory would gradually tip in favor of Storm Castle.
"Did you go to the Valley of Monsters and find anything?"
Gandalf didn't answer directly, but asked Duke rhetorically, "Do you know the gates of hell?"
Gates of Hell?Duke was stunned for a moment when he heard the word, in fact, he had heard it from Hera's mouth a long time ago. However, at that time, Storm Castle itself was difficult to protect, how could he have time to pay attention to other things, and then he slowly forgot about it, but he didn't expect Gandalf to take the initiative to bring it up today.
"I've heard of it, but I don't know what it is. ”
Gandalf was not surprised by Duke's answer, because not many people in this world knew about the gates of hell, let alone Duke was a well-known straw bale before, so how could he pay attention to these things.
"Legend has it that the world we live in has two sides, the front side is our Europa continent, and the back side is the hell where countless terrifying creatures live, and the passage between the two worlds is called the Gate of Hell. ”
"So exaggerated?" Duke replied in surprise, he didn't expect that there was a hellish world in this world.
Gandalf didn't take Duke's surprise, but continued to his own thoughts: "Some of the forbidden areas for humans in the Europa continent almost always have a hell gate, and the Valley of Monsters is naturally no exception. In fact, seriously speaking, some of the monsters in the Monster Valley are legendary hellish creatures that exist in our world. ”
"Aren't you trying to say that the gates of hell in the Valley of Monsters are about to open?"
Duke asked stupidly, Gandalf is not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense, this time he said so much almost only one possibility, that is, there is a problem with the gates of hell in the Valley of Monsters. In fact, Duke also vaguely learned that the main reason why the French Empire gave up Storm Castle was that there might be an unknown army of monsters, so it had to give up reinforcing Storm Castle.
The powerful forces in the Monster Valley that can make the French Empire give up their territory, and even the Holy See's Bright Army rarely retreats, so there is only one possibility, this time the monster army is strong. For hundreds of years, the scale of the Ice Demon has been fixed within a base range, and even if they have the strength to continue attacking, they will not go too deep.
Because they are also intelligent beings, they know that they cannot defeat the entire French Empire and the Holy See by their own strength. This time, the French Empire retreated without a fight, and both Hera and Gandalf emphasized the gates of hell, and it seems that this door is about to open!
"I don't know, I also have such suspicions, and go deep into the monster forest to investigate. As a result, not only did they not find the shadow of the hellish creatures, but even the monsters in the original monster valley seemed to have decreased, and there were hardly any monsters to be found in the entire periphery, this scene was really weird. ”
"When things go wrong, there must be demons. Duke muttered a sentence in his mouth, he was not stupid, he knew that the army of monsters had been assembled before, and it was definitely an abnormal thing to disappear mysteriously.
Gandalf heard this sentence from Duke's mouth, he glanced at Duke suspiciously, as if there were no such words on the mainland, but he summed up the matter very well, that is, it must be strange if it is too abnormal.
"I didn't go into the core of the Monster Valley, because no humans had explored it, and even the Grand Magus wasn't sure he could get out. However, I can be sure of one thing, the magic fluctuations in it are very strong, even far beyond the magic fluctuations of the forbidden spell, and it should be related to the gates of hell. ”
"If the gates of hell are opened, what will happen?" asked Duke, cautiously.
"Hell legions, this is an existence that even the Holy See may not be able to resist! But there is no record of this in humans, because the last Hell War was resisted by the elves. ”
"Daddy,!"
Duke finally couldn't help but greet him, he thought that the monster army was the limit of the Storm Castle's confrontation, but now there is another hell army, this Storm Castle simply has no way to live.
"My lord, you are now the lord of a city, and you are also a leading figure on the continent of Europa, so think of a way to deal with it. ”
After Gandalf said this, he patted his ass and left, and before leaving, he sarcastically said to Duke.
At this time, Duke couldn't bear it anymore, and replied on the spot: "No wonder you will become a dark mage, it seems that the Holy See has not wronged you, in this case, there is no responsibility of the chief mage of Storm Castle at all, it is really dark!"
It's just that Duke's words didn't have the slightest effect on Gandalf, and his figure was soon in Duke's sight.
