"Oh, thanks to Graybeard, Babas came at the right time!" Ex exclaimed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Master Helder has sent me to help you, and they already know about Caterina's capture. Barbas said.

Two old friends met and hugged warmly. Rex was overjoyed, turned to the four of them, and said, "This is the Demon God Guardian Babas, old partner. ”

When the four of them heard Babas's name, they screamed with ecstasy and joy. Fanatically expressed their admiration for him. And Barbas greets believers like a demon god.

Of the four, Odom's performance was particularly outstanding and enthusiastic. He had recognized the legendary beast from the moment Barbas appeared, and now that they had met so closely, it was even more difficult to calm down. He stammered, "Great, great warriors, legendary heroes, heroes, please accept the worship and worship of one mortal after another." ”

Odom bowed deeply.

"Orc Major General Odom," Barbas said, holding his hand, "a great dragon hunter and warrior, it's a pleasure to meet you, brother. ”

He didn't expect Barbas to know so much about him, and he couldn't help but be a little flattered. Rubbing his hands excitedly, "When Rex said you were his companion, I was surprised, thinking he was joking. I didn't see it with my own eyes, and now it seems, it seems...!" Odom was momentarily speechless.

"That's true!" Barbas prompted.

"Yes, yes, that's true!" replied Odom.

Leaving Odom, the two of them came to Serena. Rex enthusiastically introduced, "This one is the eldest lady of the Dark Brotherhood, named Serena. Good friends who grew up together. ”

Barbas smiled and said softly, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Serena. Rex often mentions you!"

"Yes, please take care of me. Serena replied.

"Sorry for scaring you, I didn't mean to. Normally, I would introduce myself first. Babas apologized to her.

"It's fine. Serena shrugged her shoulders, "It's a special situation. Thank you for saving my life. ”

"You're welcome, Rex's friend is my friend. When my friend is in danger, how can I join hands and watch. Babas said proudly, and the two shook hands.

Rex introduced Vir and Artis to him, respectively. At the end of the greetings, everyone was in a good mood and the atmosphere was joyful.

Babas suddenly asked him with a solemn expression, "Why was Caterina brought to Kurosawa Island and what happened?"

Rex thought he knew what was going on, but when he asked, he realized that Barbas didn't know the truth, so he had to explain, "It's a bit complicated. To put it simply, she was captured and imprisoned in Shadinghull in order to help me, and later the Legion of Bones destroyed Shadinghull. In this way, she and the Brotherhood assassins were kidnapped by the Demon Lord and taken to Kurosawa Island. So, we took the risk to come here to save people. ”

"I see. In a grim tone, Babas commented, "I appreciate everyone's courage, but I don't approve of such reckless actions, which could kill innocents at any time." ”

His words made everyone nervous, and the smiles on their faces froze.

"What do you mean by that?" Rex stared at him, his eyes questioning.

"Listen to me, I believe that your combat skills and magic skills are among the best in the sky, and there is no difficulty in winning the battle. However, you have overlooked one of the most important issues--- maps. You know, Hell City is not an ordinary city, it is the abode of demons, the birthplace of all evil in the world. Not a warm, lively pub. Look at the endless sand, the deadly heatwaves, and the ferocious enemies. Did you know about it before you left?" asked Barbas aloud.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Just rushing to the island with a lot of blood, and trying to save people?" Barbas said in a more stern tone, "Does anyone know how to enter Hell City, tell me about it." ”

The crowd was silent.

Serena gasped, "So, what do you think?"

"It's imperative to find a guide first. "As far as I know, Hell City is built in the middle of this island, and the walls are surrounded by magma. A watchtower was set up outside the city, guarded by a sentry team, plus patrol troops. The entire fortification is perfect, and if you don't plan first, you will definitely end up in a dead end if you rush into the island like this. There was no other way than to ask someone to take us in. ”

Barbas's words sent chills down everyone's back. Rex said embarrassedly, "Your analysis makes sense, we shouldn't have acted so rashly." ”

"Mr. Barbas, do you think we should seek help from the master?" asked Serena.

"Master builder Aruman, designer of the city of hell. Barbas replied.

"In that case, let's set out and go to Aruman. Odom said with a loud voice.

"Wait, we don't know where Sahn, Katerina, and Ngil are being held. Are you considering sending someone...!" Rex said worriedly.

"Must be under the labyrinth. Barbas confidently replied, "The underground labyrinth path is ever-changing and different. Without a map, it's easy to get lost in it until you die. Merus Dagon won't kill the captives right away, he's waiting for a blood moon. Once the Blood Moon appears, the captives will have their souls drained of their souls by the dark magic and become skeletons. ”

"So, when is the Blood Moon?" asked Rex.

"Three days later. Barbas replied.

"Oh my God, aren't they dangerous?" exclaimed Serena.

"Don't worry, there's still time. Barbas confidently said, "Come with me to the ruins of Thunder." ”

The crowd obediently followed Babas, who had turned into a giant wolf, and set off towards the furious sea. The Thunder Ruins are located between Morrowind and Kurosawa Island, near the side of the Cliffs of the Sea of Fury.

"Ha, ah, the sea, it's fascinating. Tolerance is its heart, its spirit, its soul. You see, it accepts many ups and downs in the world, washes away all the dust and dirt that wants to erode her, and always faces the ever-changing sky with a flat mirror. Master Aruman sighed as he stood on the edge of a massive cliff and looked at the raging sea. "Do you feel it, Naipa?"

A white wolf was squinting and lying beside it to recuperate, and when it heard its master ask it, it glanced lazily at its master and sneered, "Lord Aruman also knows how to appreciate the sea?"

The old man burst into a rage and shouted, "Hey, you fool dares to make fun of me, what right do you have to laugh at me! , you're just a beast, without wisdom and vision, stupid one, haha. He laughed triumphantly.

The white wolf's performance was quite calm, grinning disdainfully, turning his head and continuing to close his eyes. The boundless sea presented before their eyes, and the waves on the surface of the sea rolled hand in hand, row after row. The monstrous waves crashed against the rocks and roared.

The wind blows, and the white waves are like thousands of horses galloping wildly, and like countless churning and jumping dragons, slamming on the shore, and the waves splash in the air and turn into countless white and crystal mountain flowers.

They spent two hours on the cliff. Aruman held a withered staff and said to the white wolf, "Go back, Naipa. We're going to miss dinner time. ”

The white wolf stood up, shook the hair on his body, and straightened his front legs and waist to soothe his stiff muscles. Follow the old man slowly down the winding path towards the ruins below the cliff.

Barbas led the group across the sea to the ruins of Thunder. At first glance at this almost primitive cave, Rex couldn't associate it with the master builder. Such a strong contrast made him more interested in Aruman.

Barbas stepped forward and knocked on the wood door, and the knock on the door attracted the footsteps of the master. The door was opened, and a handsome white wolf appeared in front of everyone, and everyone was marveling at its beauty.

However, the attack was caught off guard. Before everyone could react, the white wolf and Babas were already scuffling together, roaring at each other, pushing each other around roughly, and biting each other with their long mouths in an attempt to knock each other over. Everyone was taken aback and didn't know what to do with this situation.

The noise attracted the white wolf master, and Master Aruman slowly walked out and shouted loudly

"Stop, Naipa. Let go of Barbas!"

The white wolf obediently let go of his mouth and turned back to his master. "Lord Aruman, you still protect that kid as before. ”

"Naipa, fighting is not our hospitality. Aruman admonished, "Respect every friend who comes to visit us, okay?" I know you've been wronged, now go and rest. Welcome, friends. ”

"Say hello to the great architect Arumán. Barbas knelt down and said. The others also knelt on one knee and bowed to the old man.

The old man looked at everyone happily and nodded in satisfaction. When everyone stood up, he asked Barbas, "I heard that you left the Demon God of Wisdom and were defeated by an elf, but is this happening?"

Barbas smiled awkwardly and said, "You're right, it's true." Moreover, the elf has come with me to meet you, and I beg the master to help me. ”

"Barbas. Aruman laughed, "I like you the most, honest and candid. Never hide your shortcomings, no hypocrisy. ”

"Thank you, Master. ”

"Don't stand outside, everyone, come, friends, come to the humble house, I will entertain you. Aruman said to the people.

Everyone beamed with joy and followed Aruman into the ruins. Inside the door was a spacious, humble hall with a sense of oldness. On the walls hung the tattered Imperial flag, and the hall was lined with carved revolving stone columns. On each side of the door is a philosopher's stone tower, and the spire emits purple lightning.

Candles were lit in the hall, and the candlelight lit up the room. The furnishings are quite simple, there is nothing to see except a table and a few chairs.

"Forgive me, Master Arumand," Rex asked curiously, "what are those strange stone pillars?"

The Master turned his head, looked at Rex for a moment, and replied, "It's my latest mechanism." Take a look at the patterns above, they're not exactly decorations, or passwords. In order to open this mechanism, it is necessary to arrange and combine the diagrams according to the rules. Otherwise, even the best thieves will try to open my mechanism. ”

"Your mechanism is amazingly designed. Rex praised.

"Oh, thank you. What is your name, young man?" asked Aruman.

"He's the elf I told you, Rex. Barbas chimed in.

"I can't see that you can defeat the Demon God Guardian. "Presumably not an ordinary elf. ”

"Master, you guessed it, Rex is extraordinary, he's also a Soul Eater. Barbas replied loudly.

"A good young man," Aruman praised him, "Becoming an elite assassin at a young age, and conquering the Demon God Guardian, your future is limitless." ”

"Thank you, Master, for the appreciation. Rex replied politely.

Aruman nodded approvingly. Then he turned to Barbas and said, "You didn't just come to the Humble House just to have dinner, should you?

"We're going into the labyrinth!" Barbas exclaimed.

Aruman widened his eyes in surprise and asked slowly, "Into the labyrinth, where to do what?"

"Save people. "Our relatives and friends are being held in the labyrinth by Merus Dagon, and we need to rescue them. ”

"This...!" Aruman sighed, "it will be very difficult, you think..."

"Please take us into the underground labyrinth. Rex explained to him.

Aruman hesitated. Not immediately acceding to their request, he was thinking, thinking carefully, walking back and forth in place. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at everyone solemnly, and asked as if he were vowing, "Do you have the consciousness to send your body and soul to hell for your friends?"

"Master, we will not give up until we achieve our goal. Rex replied firmly.

"Yes. For the sake of friends, even if you don't hesitate to break your bones. Odom also took the oath.

Meanwhile, Will and Artis nodded to the Master.

Aruman laughed loudly, amazed at the momentum and attitude of the crowd. "If you have this faith and conviction, how can I not be interested. I'll take you to the labyrinth. ”

The crowd applauded and cheered and laughed.
