The Lord of Sorrow walked completely, and Emerson sent out all the minions under his control, scouting the nearby tunnels and underground halls and finding not a single undead wormman. They seem to have really allowed the expedition to leave the Underground Kingdom.

Fearing that this was a trap set by the Lord of Sorrow, Charlotte deliberately lured the expedition out of the undefendable underground hall, and when they entered the area with multiple passages, she would send an army of undead creatures to encircle and suppress her, so as to capture the target person, Imerson.

She asked the wizard to use the undead minions to further expand the scope of detection and vigilance, and after Emerson confirmed that there were no undead worms ahead, the expedition marched at full speed and returned to the surface by the same route.

The snow-capped mountains are bitterly cold, and the temperature is several times lower than in underground potholes. Bertina shivered from the cold and hurriedly hugged the fluffy bear dog "White Bread" to keep warm. Seeing this scene, Charlotte suddenly felt unbearable, and ordered Shak, a level 5 source blood warrior, to take a team of soldiers down the mountain to find some wood and come back, build a simple hut and light a fire to keep warm.

In the first melee with the undead, the expedition lost almost all of its winter cloaks and most of its household items. In the warmer underground tunnels, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but when I get back to the surface, I suddenly enter a harsh and cold environment, and some people can't stand the cold. The knights, ferocious warriors, and blood warriors of House Randall are not afraid of the cold, and the halfling adventurer Tian Tian is naturally tolerant of the environment, but Dane, Imerson, and Bertina, as well as the alchemy militia artisans, and the sword-wielding maid, need a warm fire to survive the rest of the night.

Priest Dane is like a miserly miser, cherishing every bit of holy power, even if he is shivering from the cold, he will not use magic to fight against the icy cold wind. He took a dirty bearskin cloak from the sword-wielding maid, looked at the father and daughter of Emerson who were huddled together with a felt blanket, and said with a smile while putting on the cloak: "Let's find a shelter from the wind first, and we will be able to adapt to the low temperature here in a while...... We've all undergone at least one body remodeling, and we don't freeze to death so easily. ”

Emerson sneezed loudly, rubbed his nose that was red from the cold, hugged his chubby baby daughter and said, "Yes, yes, yes, there's a big rock over there to shelter from the wind......"

"You are not allowed to go anywhere, right here!" said the dragon maid Lyra, brutally. She was wearing a leather vest and a short battle skirt, revealing a snow-white thin waist and slender round thighs, and she didn't feel cold, and she couldn't feel the feeling of other people being cold.

Randall's dragon maid is now the strongest force in the team, and since Victor left the team, they have not bothered to talk to the others, but Leila can speak, and both Dane and Emerson are a little overwhelmed.

Charlotte's heart moved, and she turned her head and ordered: "Renault, you command the dragon lizard war beast to dig a pit, and then let the craftsmen build a windbreak wall with stones." ”

Renault, who was already a fifth-level source blood militia, nodded, chose a nearby place, and ordered four powerful dragon lizard war beasts to use their hard and sharp claws to cut through the snow, scratch the rocks, and quickly dig a large hole. The alchemy militia built a low wall with stones to block the howling cold wind, everyone jumped into the pit, the sword-wielding maid lit the little charcoal left, and burned a pot of snow, Imerson gathered around the marching stove, picked up the wooden cup, drank a sip of hot water, felt that all the internal organs were warm, and said, "This is much more comfortable...... I'll rest for a while, and I'll take control of the undead minions in the tunnels to retrieve the items we have discarded. ”

“...... Keep them on guard in the tunnels. ”

Charlotte took Bertina from the wizard's side, sat down on her side in a graceful posture, leaned on a pair of long legs diagonally together, leaned against an alchemical mastiff with thick fur, and said softly but seriously: "Your Excellency Imerson, first talk about what the Lord of Sorrow has said to you. ”

Emerson reminisced for a moment, recounting the details of his communication with the Lord of Sorrow from beginning to end. At the end, he said helplessly: "I don't understand what he told me at all." ”

The Lord of Sorrow revealed information about the Undead, the Human Empire, the Elven Empress, the Demon Monarch, the Realm of All Souls, and the Four Seasons Witch King, not to mention that Emerson couldn't understand it, and even Dane, the high-ranking priest of the Radiance Church, was confused.

Bertina, who had been frightened from the previous battle, was now refreshed, her eyes rolling wildly. Charlotte smiled and let her go out with Halfling, Sweet, Caligula, and White Bread.

"We only talk about what we understand. The female knight took off her helmet and said in a soft voice: "The Lord of Sorrow said that he was the desperate witch king of the Assyrian Empire 1,500 years ago, because of the destruction of a human team, the realm of all souls underwent a mutation, and the demon monarch inside, that is, the lord of black blood, woke up and poked out a tentacle from the realm of all souls...... From the perspective of time, isn't this exactly the event caused by the destruction of the Assyrian blood sacrifice ritual by the Paladins, the chief inquisitor of the Radiant Church and the ancestor of the Trigovar family, more than 1,500 years ago?"

The clergy of the Inquisition disrupted the blood ritual of the Assyrian witch kings, causing the demons of the realm of all souls to revivenation, upsetting the balance between the Ant-Man monsters and the Assyrian Empire. But the Ancestor Trigovar is ignorant of the subsequent events that followed, and Dane now represents the Church of Radiance to atone for the Paladin's mistakes. There was a feeling in the heart of the military priest that "fate is wonderful".

In fact, this is a feeling caused by the difference in time scale, the Lord of Black Blood and the Lord of Sorrow have changed from the realm of all souls to the imminent extrication of difficulties, more than 1,500 years have passed since the human kingdom, and even the Pope and Pope have changed more than a dozen terms.

The Church of Radiance has a long history, and even if Dane is not related to the 1,500-year-old Paladin of Trigovar, they always share the same position. He righteously said: "The Assyrians sacrifice to demons, which is an unforgivable evil. ”

Charlotte, like most aristocrats, blamed the church first for the family's losses. In this underground expedition, the Randall family sacrificed 11 powerful Source Blood warriors, and as a result, from beginning to end, including the Ant-Man invasion of Randall's Territory, it was the fault of the Paladin of the Church, and she habitually stabbed Priest Dane with words.

After all, Dane, who has the power of divine arts, is an important member of the expeditionary force, Charlotte restrained her resentment, lowered her eyelashes and long eyes, and said, "If the master is here, he must know what the Lord of Sorrow wants to do?"

"I'm here. ”

——————

A sound came from the vibrations of the air, and Charlotte jumped to her feet, looked around, and shouted in surprise, "Honey, is that you? Where are you?"

"No need to look for it, we are far apart, but you are all in my realm, and I can hear what you say. Victor's voice rang out nearby.

Charlotte raised her hand to cover her red lips, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she asked excitedly, "Honey, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Victor controlled the vibrations of the wind elemental from a long distance and said, "The Lord of Sorrow let you go because he is chasing the scout team that drove me and the elven city-state, so time is pressing, and you all listen to me......"

"First of all, the realm of all souls is a soul plane built by the Assyrians, similar to the sacred power pool of the Church of Radiance, but the scale is much smaller, and the Assyrian witch doctor relies on the realm of all souls to obtain supernatural powers. The basis of the existence of the realm of all souls is the Black Blood Master, to be precise, he was once a particularly powerful ancient god, with the same personality as the Demon Monarch. Mythical Hydra has memories of Him, calling Him the King of the Spirit Realm. ”

"In ancient times, the king of the spirit world created the Gross Zerg to open up the underworld and fight against the demons of the abyss. He has slain countless demons, even reaching the abyss at one point, but in the endless battle, the king of the spirit realm has also been assimilated by the demons of the abyss. In the end, the Abyssal Demon defeated the Gross Zerg, and the King of the Spirit Realm, who had the power of the demons, led the Zerg minions back to the surface world and fought a great war with the ancient elven empire. The Elven Empire's Moon Goddess slew the Spirit King and seized most of his power, creating the Spider Lady of Death and Wrath to lead the elven Empire's legions into the Underworld and stop the Abyssal Demons from invading it. ”

"The Spirit King has not completely fallen, and his remnants of willpower have been divided into three, namely the Abyss Demon Black Blood Master, the Undead Ant-Man Empress, and the Four Seasons Witch King of the Assyrian Empire. For a long time, the Assyrian witch doctor used the power of the Black Blood Lord to fight against the Ant-Man monsters, until more than 1,500 years ago, the paladins of the Trigovar family destroyed the blood rituals of the Assyrian Empire, causing the will of the Black Blood Lord to be revived...... What the Lord of Sorrow said should be true, the four great witch kings of Assyria chose to sacrifice themselves in order to protect the most important realm of all souls, and entered the realm of all souls in the form of souls to seal the black blood lord and prevent him from escaping, thus completely destroying the realm of all souls. ”

"The Assyrian Empire lost its leader and went into decline, and the Assyrian witch doctors began to build tomb altars to strengthen the four witch kings by sacrificing themselves. The Assyrians were no longer capable of fighting the armies of Ant-Man monsters...... However, I don't know what method the witch kings in the realm of all souls used to trap the main will of the Ant-Man Empress in the realm of all souls, so as to prevent the Ant-Man army from attacking the descendants of the Assyrian Empire. ”

"Now that the elite of the Elven Empire has entered the temple of the Assyrians, ready to extract the power of the Black Blood Master, the realm of all souls and the surrounding area of the temple will undergo drastic changes. ”

Victor didn't give the expedition a chance to ask questions, and continued: "You have to do two things next, first, take Bertina and the Crystal Skull to the southwest corner of the fourth layer of the temple's outer wall, and before noon tomorrow, I will let Mei Wen take the Crystal Skull. If by noon Mei Wen does not appear, you will leave the temple at once, cross the western side of the Azores, and follow the river in search of a gathering place for the descendants of the Assyrians. We meet there. ”

"If Mei Wen shows up, take the crystal skull. Follow Leila into a burial chamber and find a thorn-covered dwarven warrior in the caverns of the mountain as soon as possible...... Dain, you first cast the Holy Light Path Marker on that dwarf, and then try to save him, and then you leave him alone, just leave the Azores Mountains, as far as you want, but not beyond the casting range of Imerson's control of the alien creatures. ”

"Imerson, at noon in four days' time, you must guide Philip III to the temple, and as soon as you see the Black Blood Master, immediately control Philip III to flee north along the Azores Mountains. Dane, remember to use Father Miller's Holy Power Crystal to bless Emerson with divine magic and protect his soul. ”

“...... The Gross Zerg undead controlled by the Lord of Sorrow are coming again, and it's time for me to go. ”

The sound of the air vibrating became rapid, when had His Highness Randall been so urgent?

Charlotte only felt her heart twitching, and tears fell, choking up: "Victor, Victor...... You must come back safely. ”

The mountain wind whined again, and there was no other sound. Charlotte's shoulders shrugged and she sobbed under her breath, and everyone else had a calm expression, except for the dragon maid Layla and Deere, who looked disapprehant.

Charlotte glanced at them and couldn't help but get angry and asked, "Aren't you worried about your master?"

Leila snorted disdainfully, lifted her gracefully curved pointed chin, and said proudly, "Ignorant weakness...... No matter how far apart we are, our king and I are always together. ”

Di Li covered her mouth and snickered: "The king is also with me." ”

Charlotte's thin willow eyebrows tended to stand up, and if she were replaced by Victor's other lovers, she would inevitably have to sneer at the triumphant dragon maid, but she was a weak character after all, and her beautiful eyes became dim.

The matter has reached such an urgent point that Lady Charlotte still has the heart to compete with the dragon maid...... Dane shook his head secretly, he coughed dryly, and suggested, "Why don't we move to the place designated by His Highness now?"

Charlotte immediately came to her senses and nodded, "Okay, let's go now." ”

The expedition packed up and ran towards the majestic and towering Assyrian temple. At the bottom of the temple, Charlotte put Todd and Marcy in charge of setting up camp, and she took Bertina, along with Leila and Meiwen, from the outer wall of the temple to the southwest corner of the fourth floor.

Towards noon the next day, the slender figure of the dragon maid Mei Wen appeared above the temple, she was wearing the standard leather armor of a sword-wielding maid, which was stained with blood and several holes, her iconic horned helmet was gone, and her blue hair was tied into a simple ponytail.

Leila looked at her and asked, "You've transformed?"

"I transformed 3 times, and the spare leather armor was all gone. Mei Wen said lightly, and took the leather bag containing the crystal skull from Charlotte's hand.

Charlotte furrowed her brows and asked, "How's your case going?"

"It's not good, the war beasts are almost all wiped out, only one dragon lizard remains, and 26 people have died, including 3 sword-wielding maids. The clothes that Furgre and I wore were ripped from them. Mei Wen shook her head and said lightly.

With the Temple Expedition losing more than a third of its strength, Charlotte could imagine how fierce the battle had been, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Are Lord Nelson and the family knights and fierce warriors all right?"

Mei Wen tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "They are all alive, Rogers lost an arm, the red wolf is blind, but he has been promoted to the silver rank, and Nelson has also been promoted." ”

"What?, Lord Nelson's promotion to a gold-rank ferocious warrior?!" Charlotte exclaimed, as for the red wolf who had been promoted to a silver-rank ferocious warrior, she ignored it.

"It should be...... After a while, the remaining sword-wielding maidens in the party will be withdrawn, and you will take them away. The master wanted Rogers to leave with you, but he didn't want to. After Mei Wen finished speaking, she ignored Charlotte, reached out and touched Bertina's head, and said to her, "Master said, you know what you have to do?"

The little girl nodded very obediently, pointed to the top of the temple and said, "I can feel that something important is in the top spire. She hesitated slightly, then turned to Charlotte and asked, "Madam, can Rogers' arms and red wolf's eyes grow well?"

Looking at Bertina's pure and immaculate eyes, Charlotte felt ashamed, she was excited and happy that her family had a gold-tier powerhouse, and she didn't care about the wounded and disabled Rogers and Red Wolves, as well as those elite warriors who died.

The knightess took Bertina in her arms and said softly, "Yes...... As long as they make it home alive, the senior pastor of the church can heal their arms and eyes. ”

"Hmm," Bertina nodded with great force, and said very seriously, "I hope they all come home alive." ”
