Chapter 182: Dark Elves

After the rest of the people crawled into the hole, he could only shrug his shoulders to answer their doubts.

Lolana came in without saying a word, and as he held her, he could clearly feel the cold hand, and there was blood on her lips.

Robert had an epiphany that she must be biting her lip to keep herself from screaming, and Robert guiltily wanted to say something to coax her, but she raised her head high and deliberately didn't look at him.

The others hurried after Scarlet Moon, but Wade stopped to peer into one of the tombs, where he saw a tall figure in tattered armor lying in a sarcophagus.

The boneless hand clutched the sword on his body. Wade looked at the royal coat of arms curiously, trying to pronounce the words on it.

"Whoosh black Nuleptasti. Robert stood behind the Kande, reading.

What do you mean by this, Guang Wade asked.

"Faithful after death. Robert whispered in a deep voice.

On the west side of the tomb, they saw a pair of huge bronze doors.

Scarlet Moon easily pushed open the door and led the group to the cloister leading to another hall. The only trouble they had in the hall was how to convince the dwarves to come out.

This entire hall is the only room in all of Slamorelli that has escaped the cataclysm unscathed.

Flynn took the trouble to explain to all who would listen that the secret of it lay in the dwarves' superb construction skills, especially the thirty-six pillars that supported the main hall.

The only way out is through two other identical bronze doors at the end of the main hall, leading to the west.

Hubble pushed himself away from the pull, scrutinizing each door, muttering that he didn't know where each door was going, or something.

After a brief discussion, Robert decided to take the door on the right.

The door led them about thirty feet before they came across another one-sided bronze door. The door appears to be locked.

Calamon bumped, knocked, and pried, but to no avail.

"No way," he complained. "Totally useless. ”

Hubble looked at Calamon for a moment, then walked over to check the door, and then scoffed and said, "It's a fake door!"

"Looks like it's real!" Calamon said, looking at the door suspiciously, "even the lock is there!"

'Of course!'" Hubble said disdainfully. "False doors are not designed to be seen through at a glance, and this common sense is known even to the dwarves of the valley.

"So this road is a dead end!" said Iban, impatiently.

"Stand back!" Rodrith whispered, carefully pressing his cane against the wall.

He put his hands on the door, touched it with only his fingertips, and said, "Kesharan." Pakrio!"

There was a flash of orange, but not from the door, but from the wall!

"Let's go!" Rodrith pulled his brother back, and the entire wall began to flicker along with the bronze door.

"Hurry, gotta get over before it closes!" said Robert, and everyone rushed in, Calamon holding the staggering Rodrith.

"Are you alright?" asked Calamon as the wall slammed shut.

"Thankfully, the powerlessness will go away," Mr. Rodrith whispered. "This is the first time I've cast a spell from Festein's Stillus spell.

This opening technique does work, but I didn't expect it to be so strenuous. ”

The gate led them forty feet westward, bending to the south, then to the east, and then to the south. At the end, it was blocked by another door.

Rodrith shook his head, "Spells can only be cast once. My mind is completely blank right now. ”

"Fireball can open this door. Evan said. "I think I should remember this spell—"

"No, old sir!" said Robert, hurriedly, "to do it in such a narrow corridor will roast us all." Wade—"

The Kander approached the door and pushed hard. "Nasty, the door is open. "He was disappointed that he didn't get a chance to pick the lock. He looked inside. "It's another room. ”

Everyone cautiously entered, and Rodrith lit up the room with the light of his staff. The room is circular, about a hundred feet in diameter.

Directly opposite them, just south, another door appeared.

And in the middle of the room was - "A crooked pillar!" Wade giggled and said, "Look! Hubble, the dwarves made a crooked pillar!"

"If they do, they must have a good reason. The dwarf pushed the man away and went up to take a closer look at the tall pillar.

But it's skewed.

"Uh-huh......" Hubble pondered. Suddenly—'You idiot, this is not a pillar!' Hubble exclaimed suddenly.

"It's a huge chain! Look, it's hanging on a hook on the ground. ”

"Then we're in the Chain Room!" said Gilsenas excitedly.

"This is the famous defense system of New Grande. We're almost inside the fortress. ”

The crowd gathered together and looked at the huge chain in disbelief.

Each chain was as tall as Calamon and as thick as the roots of an old oak tree.

"What's the use of this system?" asked Tysokov, hoping to climb the chain. "Where does this chain lead?"

"This chain connects the device. Gireenas replied. "As for how it works, I don't know.

You'll have to ask the old dwarf about the mechanical things. All I know is that if this chain is loosened from the hook," he said, pointing to the hook on the floor.

"Huge granite would block the entire fortress door. There is no force on the candela that can open it. ”

Gilsenas joins the others in their search for the Secret Door, leaving the Khandians there. The latter tried in vain to see what the device looked like.

"Look here!" he finally cried out, pointing to a line on the northern wall that resembled a crack in a door, "a secret door!

This must be the entrance to the fortress!"

"It's the doorknob. Wade pointed to a five-ring road under the door. "The dwarf showed his horse's feet. He smiled at Hubble, "It's a fake door that looks fake. ”

"So don't take its appearance for granted. Hubble said lightly.

"Oh! Dwarves are lazy sometimes. Iban lowered his head to open the door.

"Don't open it!" said Rodrith suddenly.

"Why not?" asked Stone. "To give you some time, would you like to give us a briefing before we enter the New Grande?"

"If I were going to betray you, knight, you'd already been betrayed hundreds of times!" said Rodrith glaring at the Secret Gate.

"I feel like there's a strong force behind the door, and I'm only going to—"

He paused and shivered.

"Where have you met?" asked his brother softly.

"The Tower of the Division!" said Rodrith hoarsely. "I warn you, don't open this door"

"Go and see where the southern gate leads. Robert told the dwarves.

Hubble walked to the south door and pushed it open. "All I saw was that this door led to another corridor that was exactly the same as the other walkways. He replied.

"One more secret door is the way to New Grande. Gireenas repeated.

Before the others could stop him, he leaned down and pulled the door open.

"You'll regret it!" Rodrith began to cough.

When the door opened, there was a large room behind it, and the room was full of yellow bricks.

Although they were covered with dust, they still had a clear yellow color.

"Treasure trove!" shouted Iban. "We've found Keith, Kanan's treasure!"

"It's all gold. Stone said coldly. "It's not worth much, only steel is worth a little money these days......"

His voice grew quieter, and his eyes widened in fear.

"What's wrong?" Calamon shouted, drawing his sword.

"I don't know. Shi Ben said in a barely indistinguishable voice.

"I know!" said Rodrith as the unknown object began to take shape in front of him. "This is the soul of the dark elves! I warned you not to open the door. ”

"Hurry up and think of a way!" Yiban staggered back.

"Put away your weapons, fools!" said Rodrith in a shrill voice. "You can't beat her! She can easily kill you with a touch, and if we stay here when she starts howling, we're dead. She can kill even with her voice.

Go, get out of here!hurry!From the south door!" As they turned, the dark shadows in the vault began to slowly gather and take shape.

Gradually converged into a cold, beautiful dark elf woman, an elf who had been executed for a terrible crime a long time ago.

Later, an elven magician with great power imprisoned her soul and forced her to guard the king's treasury.

When she saw these living humans, she couldn't help but stretch out her hands and yearn for the warmth of their bodies, and then she let out her hatred and jealousy for all living things.

Everyone hurriedly turned around and fled, crashing into each other in the chaos, pushing each other and escaping through the bronze gate. Calamon bumped into his brother, who dropped his staff of Marcis to the ground.

It didn't shatter, only the power of Dragon Blaze could destroy it.

But the light went out, and the room was immediately plunged into darkness.

Seeing her prey escaping from her clutches, the demon immediately appeared in the Hall of Chains, her hand brushing over Iban's cheek.

He screamed from the cold, and his feet were unsteady and he fell.

Stone hurriedly grabbed him and dragged him into the hallway, where Rodrith and Calamon picked up the staff of Marzis and squeezed through the steel door in three and two steps.

"Is everyone here?" Robert asked, reluctantly closing the door.

Then he heard a terrible cry that made his heart beat a few beats, and the fear oppressed him so much that he couldn't breathe.

The screaming stopped, and his heart painfully returned to beating. The demon opened its mouth again and prepared to scream.

"There's no time to look!" said Rodlis. "Brother, close the door!"

Calamon pushed the door with all his might. It slammed shut, and the aftermath was endless.

"It can't stop her!" Iban shouted in panic.

"Not really. Rodrith said softly. "Her mana is extremely high, much higher than mine.

I can cast spells on doors, but it will consume a lot of my strength. I advise you to run as fast as you can. Once the spell fails, I might be able to drag it out for a while.

"River Breeze, take everyone away. Robert ordered. "Stone and I stayed here with Rodrith and Calamon. ”

The others fled briskly through the dark corridors, occasionally looking back curiously.

Rodrith ignored no one and handed the staff to his brother. As soon as it was placed in the hands of outsiders, the light of the staff was immediately extinguished.

The mage placed his hands on the door, palms flat. Closing his eyes, he forced himself to concentrate on magic.

"Carlistann. Bang Chung Nan—" A sudden, cold feeling interrupted his concentration.

She knew what spell he was going to cast, so she tried to disturb the memories of fighting the Dark Elf in the Mage's Tower again.

He tried to forget the terrible war that had ruined his body and almost destroyed his will, but he felt himself spiraling out of control.

Damn, he forgot the spell!!The door began to shake. The Dark Elves are coming!

Suddenly, an inexplicable power welled up from within him that he had only felt twice - once in the Wizard's Tower, once in front of Shaksharos.

The familiar voice recited the incantation over and over again in his mind.

Rodrith uttered the incantation aloud in a clear voice that didn't belong to him—"Callisanne."

Bang Humble Namin. Kara—Imaras!" came a shout of disappointment from the other side of the door. The door slammed, and the mage collapsed.

Calamon handed the staff to Iban, and he picked up his brother and followed the others down the dark hallway.

Another secret door opened easily in Hubble's hands, and the group entered a series of corridors that were not long, but were full of rubble.

Everyone still walked over the rubble. Eventually, they came to a room full of boxes.

The river breeze lit a torch on the wall. Each of the crates was pin-dead, some labeled Willow, others Gatwe.

"That's it, we're in the fortress. Gircenas said in a triumphant tone. "We are now standing in the cellar of the New Grande. ”

"Thank God!" Robert sighed and sat down on the floor, and the others sat down beside him.

Suddenly, they find that Evan and Wade are gone.

Wade couldn't remember the last few minutes of the Chain Room.

All he remembered was asking, "Where's the Dark Elf?" and stood on tiptoe to get a better look, when suddenly, the glowing cane fell to the ground.

All he heard was Robert shouting, and a wail that made it impossible for Kandejin to tell where he was. A strong hand lifted him up by the waist and lifted him in the air.

"Crawl!" shouted a voice from below.

Wade reached out, grabbed the cold chain, and began to climb up. He heard a door slam shut below, and the Dark Elf screamed again.

This time it doesn't sound so bad, but it has a sense of waste. Wade hopes that this means that his friends are still intact.

"I wonder if I'll be able to meet them again in the future?" he asked himself softly, feeling a little lonely.

Then, when he heard Evan talking to himself, his mood immediately relaxed.

He is not alone.
