[Actually, the name of this chapter should be called Riding Maid, but it's too evil, let's stop]

Saleen held his breath, his hands and feet a little cold.

Aini's voice trembled a little, and he whispered, "It's okay, it's all dead." ”

Only then did Salin notice that the monster's eyes were motionless and devoid of any sparkle. The Headless Horsemen had no horses, and stood there silently, unable to see where their heads were placed.

"Ani ......"

"It's really okay, these Headless Horsemen must have a lot of blood to be resurrected, and we'll follow the wind to find an exit. Aini said, not too sure in his heart. The magician believes in facts, and all his knowledge comes from books.

Before Aini's words fell, there was a rustling sound overhead, followed by a loud stream of water. When they looked up, they saw a chimney-like opening at the top of the cave, through which the wind had penetrated. The opening was very long, more than two people wide. Because it was night, there was no light, and it looked deep and cold.

A large amount of red liquid poured down from the opening, spilling into the cavern. Saleen smelled blood.

"It's a pool of blood, let's go!" Salin lost his cool again. The sacrificial altar actually set off a chain reaction throughout the underground caverns, and the headless horsemen here would soon be resurrected under the blood drenched in the pools of blood. As for the huge monster in the middle, I'm afraid it's the legendary abomination dragon beast.

This is a simple layout, and if someone sacrifices it, it means that the dark mage will come again, the blood pool will be activated, and the headless horseman will be resurrected, and if such a layout is everywhere, the Principality of Phoenix will be finished.

Blood rained down and seeped through the armor of the Headless Horseman, and a terrible sound sounded from the Headless Horseman's body, as if there were countless people fighting inside. Ani looked at Neris anxiously.

He thought that Neris was a sixth-level magician, at least a fifth-level magician, and if she could fly up to the exit at the top of the cave, she would be able to get everyone out with just a rope.

Ignoring Aini, Neris grabbed Saleen and carried her back behind her back.

"Master, hold on to me. As she spoke, Neris leaped to her feet and put her hands on the stone wall. She crawled up barefoot, with her hands and feet together. Aini was dumbfounded, vaguely knowing in her heart that she was wrong, a great magician, even if he was imprisoned, would not be a slave to others.

Sika's movements weren't slow, she took the gloves out of her pouch and followed Neris to the top of the cave.

Nellis is a demon, and the fingers of both hands can easily dig into crevices in stone walls, slippery places, and even insert them with her fingernails. Not to mention the schika, the Caucasians can climb on the cliffs, which is learned from an early age. Her gloves are also specially made, and with Neris leading the way, it is easy to climb to the top of the cave. Only Aini sighed in the face of the stone wall.

Neris was faster than a rock lizard, and her figure quickly disappeared into the opening at the top of the cave. Aini felt a real fear. He shouted, "Salin!"

Aini's shouts echoed through the cavern, and the abomination drakemon's eyes rolled toward Aini. Aini immediately stopped shouting. The Abomination Drake hadn't been completely resurrected, but it had only felt the vibration of the sound waves. If you call it again, you will attract all the Headless Horsemen to it.

Nellis grew faster and faster, and as she walked flat on the stone wall, Saleen felt like she was being carried on horseback. When climbing to a height of more than 20 meters, Salin saw dozens of magic arrays one after another, these magic arrays were crudely carved into the stone wall, but in the center of the magic array was a black hole, from which blood gushed out.

In the blink of an eye, Neris had already led Salin out of the exit, surrounded by dense weeds, and Salin looked up and found himself on top of a mountain.

There are no high mountains in the Duchy of Phoenix, and the mountains here are only about 300 meters. Salin looked far away, and Baron Cook's castle was already far away, and to his astonishment, he also saw the torches shining like day on the plain, densely packed, I don't know how many.

There were reinforcements to counterattack from the outside, and the dark mages didn't need torches, these torches represented the human army. And Saleen also heard an explosion, which could travel so far that it was definitely not an ordinary fireball technique.

There are even high-level magicians in this army!

Salin cursed in his heart, Baron Cook was a decoy, guarding the castle just to attract the attack of the dark mage. Otherwise, the army of the principality would not have arrived so quickly. He was so stupid, he now understood the source of Baron Cook's courage, because the reinforcements arrived soon, and Baron Cook was so righteous and awe-inspiring.

I can say that I offended him, I don't know if the baron has been killed by the Headless Horseman, if he doesn't die, will he get into trouble?

"Salin!" Schika crawled out of the cave as well. Only then did Salin remember that Aini hadn't come up yet. He looked at the hidden cavern beneath his feet and pondered.

To save or not to save?

Aini's scheming is terrifying, but if Baron Cook survives and Aini dies again, then he is the best scapegoat.

Salin gritted his teeth, he had already invested a lot in Aini, and if he gave up, he would be too cautious.

"Sika, rope. Saleen said simply, and Sika had taken the rope from his leather bag, untied it, and hung it down. The rope was very long, but it was not more than 300 meters, and Salin took out his rope and tied it with Sika's rope.

This is the special equipment for adventurers, Aini prepared for Salin and others, the ordinary rope is only 50 meters long, Aini is willing to spend money, and directly gives the best rope in the store to Salin and Sika. The rope woven from this spider silk is thinner than the little finger, but it can carry the weight of more than ten people.

There is a providence in the dark, and if Aini gave Salin an ordinary rope, she would have to rely on Neris to go down and save him. In that case, maybe Nellis had a whim and would bite Anie to death.

Ani was pulled up in embarrassment, and there was a lot of blood on her body. He looked up at the torches in the distance and froze.

There are few magicians who are not smart, and Aini is the best and has a quick mind. He immediately understood that Baron Cook was a decoy.

Salin didn't say anything to blame, and said with a wry smile: "You also understand?"

Aini clenched his fists, his face turned blue, he gritted his teeth and said, "I've been involved with you, and I will take care of this matter." ”

"What to bear, we have released the Abomination Dragon Beast, these reinforcements may not be able to control the situation. By the way, there are also stone statues, and those stone statues, if free, seem to be about the same as the combat power of the Headless Horseman. ”

A trace of remorse flashed in Aini's heart, and then he said resolutely: "I have already done it, and it is useless to regret it." ”

"It's time to get out of Phoenix as soon as possible, if the dark arts continue to get out of hand, the situation in the Duchy will be in shambles. There are so many black puppets, and the black mage may not know how many people have been killed, and you and I can't afford this matter. ”

"Salin ......"

"Needless to say, I'm unlucky to make you a friend. The Baron wants to put you to death, and I can't leave it alone. We can't predict what will happen next, and now we can only hope that the baron will die completely, and we will be in no trouble. ”

Saleen was also emotional. It's just inexplicable that this thing has developed to such an extent. I am also considered to have a bad fate, and I will be unlucky wherever I go.

I also blame myself for being competitive, why bother with Aini for no reason. If those arrows don't work, the castle will be able to withstand a day's attack. As long as you survive this time, once the reinforcements arrive, there are no resurrected abomination drakemons and those ancient headless horsemen, and it will not be a problem to destroy these black golems. If that's the case, I'm afraid I can be rewarded by the emperor.

A true magician will not argue about meaningless victories and losers. Saleen now understands the adage, but unfortunately it comes at a great price.

"Salin, don't worry, even if Cook doesn't die this time, I won't let him return to Qin Yin alive. A chill sparked in Aini's eyes, and he pronounced the death sentence of Baron Cook.

"It's that simple?" Salin didn't know where Aini's confidence came from.

"The Clyde family is loyal to the royal family and also follows the line of the House of Lords, and Cook is himself in the same camp as the Clyde family. However, he has a shallow foundation, and the emperor will not punish the Clyde family because of him. As long as he doesn't speak to the emperor, if he dies, he dies, it's not a big deal. ”

Ani said that Saleen didn't understand, but he understood that the backstage of the Clyde family was harder than he thought.

"Ani, I met you, was it lucky or unlucky?"

Aini laughed, patted the back of Salin's hand, and said, "If I can successfully become a necromancer, you will definitely be lucky, and then I will be able to return to the family core and master more resources." ”

Salin also smiled, Aini was able to adjust his mentality so quickly, and sure enough, he was a descendant of a big family, and his quality was not comparable to ordinary people.

"I hope so, but now it's important to run for your life, we don't have horses. Salin had a very real question.

Ani frowned, took out two scrolls from the leather pouch, and said, "I have two anemosis scrolls, but four people ......" He knew that Salin was a first-level magician, and he could perform at most one second-level magic, and there was only one person left to travel on his legs.

"How far is the nearest town?" Salin was overjoyed, two scrolls were enough, one for Schika and one for Aini, and as for himself, he had to trouble Neris. This little devil seems to have a tendency to become a mount.

"More than a hundred miles. "Aini didn't understand where Salenzi came from.

"Then we can go. Salin laughed and asked Sika to tie the rope to the rock, and the four of them slid down the hill.

The castle shook in the distance, and the flames that rose into the sky almost lit up the sky, and thousands of torches were eclipsed. Salin was awe-inspiring in his heart, this should be the work of the great magician.

Without time to think about anything else, Salin unfolded the scroll and used his mental power to trigger the Wind Speed Technique, which was applied to Aini. The scroll is a one-time magic equipment that is exclusive to mages, and Salin can use a second-level scroll at most, but fortunately the wind speed technique is a second-level magic, otherwise he would not be able to use it.

The second anemosis was applied to Schika, and after Saleen had done this, he climbed onto Neris's back and galloped south under Aini's strange gaze.
