Chapter 527: Tribute (3)
"The entire castle has been completely destroyed, but one of the secret rooms in Couzer remains, and this storage pocket is hidden in it." The Hateful Demon Admiral Astarote opened his mouth to explain to Ryan and the others, "This secret room is specially made, and once it is activated, it will be forcibly sealed, and unless this place is completely demolished, it is extremely difficult to find this secret room that can only fit the size of a few storage pockets. It is designed to leave enough guiding information in the absence of a retreat. ”
Ryan nodded, what he meant by Astarote, probably these Thor demons also knew that they had done all the bad things, and they would inevitably be secretly retaliated against, so they left such a hand and foot, at least it could let the people who came to investigate know who did it. Such a huge castle, which covers an area that covers more than the entire Cassano area, leaves such a secret room in a certain corner of it, and it is really difficult to find it in a hurry unless the location is known in advance.
"Let's see who is so bold. Astarlot opened his storage pocket, carefully examined it, and took out an engram from it, which he placed flat on top of his palm, and immediately activated the magic circle inside it. The engram was originally purple, but when activated, it emitted a white halo, which then condensed together to form a curtain wall.
This engram crystal truly records the scene after the destruction of Kuze Castle, the sad screams, the blood splashing around, all show that the opponent has no intention of staying alive, the image of the entire engram reflected on the light curtain is constantly shaking, it should be the person who is using it desperately escaping, and from many details inside, it can be clearly identified that the enemy who conquered here is the dark elf.
"My lord, it's a dark elf, it's a dark elf!" A voice mixed with a cry came from the engram, obviously the man already knew that he was doomed, so he left this final last word, so that in the future, the Thor Demon could have a chance to avenge himself: "They have a domain powerhouse, and hundreds of legendary powerhouses, we are not ...... at all"
This was the end of the reflection released by the engram, and then the entire curtain wall was plunged into darkness, and it was thought that the Tieflin had put it in a storage pocket and hid it in the small chamber in public. After reading this, Ryan and the others set their eyes on Astarott, and only this hateful demon general was most familiar with the abyss in the center of the earth, so only he was qualified to judge whether this image was true or not.
"The Tifflin who spoke was one of Kuze's subordinates and one of the people who collected the tribute this time, and this storage pocket should be his harvest. Astarot carefully recalled the entire content of the image, and in particular noticed a few details that could easily be overlooked, he explained: "These people have different secret rooms, and they are not allowed to leak each other at will, and the marks he left are not correct, they should not be forged. ”
"So it's supposed to be Boyardinas and her Dark Elf Legion who ransacked this place?" Ryan said, "Then the teleportation magic array here must have been destroyed as well, right?"
"Yes, this is also very strong evidence, because the most severely damaged thing in the entire castle is the teleportation magic array, which has been completely destroyed. Astarote's face was not very good, he pondered for a moment and said: "I just forcibly broke through the barrier and took a look, if I guessed correctly, the first attack on the entire castle was to first destroy the teleportation magic array located somewhere underground, and then surround the entire castle and slaughter it all the way, there is no way back from such a disparity in strength, and the destruction is certain." ”
"Then where is our second choice?" Seeing that things had evolved to the least desirable one, Ryan had to ask, "Could it be that we go directly to the core area of the dark elves and go to the Otherworld through their teleportation magic array, what materials do we need to repair or rebuild one, and how much time?"
"It's impossible to repair, it's unusually completely destroyed. Astarlot shook his head and said, "It is also a very troublesome matter to rebuild, even if everything goes well, it will take years, because there is no existing space node between the entire Netherworld and the Otherworld, and the distance between the two is very far away. So we can only borrow someone else's teleportation magic array. ”
"But the end of the teleportation magic array of the dark elves should be in the area they rule, right?" Ryan opened his mouth to express his concerns: "Not to mention the other party's deliberate destruction, even if we successfully reach the other world, do we have to fight a bloody way out of the countless dark elf powerhouses?"
"No, of course we won't be using the Dark Elves' teleportation magic array. The Hateful Demon Commander Astaroth suddenly laughed, and he said to Ryan, "We can go through the stairs to the Multipolar Abyss, which is the ruling area of the Rakshasa Demon, and somewhere in this Abyss there is a commercial city, which is the proud work of the Rakshasa Demon who claims to be a plane merchant. ”
"Plane Merchant?" Ryan asked, a little puzzled, he was too unfamiliar with these words.
Astarot smiled and explained, "Yes. Due to the talent for changing shapes, Rakshasas can communicate with creatures of any dimension in the friendliest, because unless they are far superior to them or are strong enough to break the method, you will only think that you will communicate with your own kind again. The favorite thing for these Rakshasa demons to do is to sell goods from different planes to other places at a high price, so they have built a teleportation magic array to different planes in the multi-level abyss of Bireg City, so that these Rakshasa Plane merchants can come and go freely. ”
"We infiltrated it in disguise, and then found a way to reach the other world with the help of the teleportation magic array there, as for the subsequent journey, it depends on where these Rakshasa demons can teleport to the teleportation magic array set up in Birig City. The hateful demon general Astarot slowly said his thoughts: "In fact, with our strength, even if we openly go to Bireg City to ask for a teleportation magic array, those Rakshasa demons probably won't dare to refuse, but if we get the news to the dark elves, it will be a very troublesome thing for us, the thousand-year war is about to begin, and we don't need to waste time with them." ”
Ryan translated Astarot's plan into the lingua franca of humanity to his companions, and then waited for them to give him a response, and in the end, everyone's opinions were very unanimous, because if they didn't want to miss this millennium war, the only effective way at present was to go to the territory of the Rakshasa Demon as Astarot said, otherwise Ryan and his party would have to return the same way.
Seeing that his companions were unanimous, Ryan turned to Astarote and said, "Alright, just follow your plan." But are we going to use what we are now?"
Astarlot knew that it was impossible for Ryan to refuse his plan, so he had already thought of the corresponding countermeasures, and he said to Ryan: "Actually, it's nothing to use our own appearance, because the Rakshasa Demon can freely change its form, and they will choose their appearance according to their own habits, so in the city of the Rakshasa Demon, you will see creatures from various planes, but most of them are real Rakshasa Demons." ”
"But my only concern is my image, and you and Galib, because you have met with Boyardinath, and if her spies in Bireg City find out about our whereabouts, it will cause unnecessary trouble, so ......" Astrid said this, his tone paused slightly, and then he spoke, "We must change our image, and we must not be reminiscent of the plane where Ryan is located." ”
"I'll arrange the details of my identity, but I'm not proficient in making magic masks. Astarlot said: "My idea is to see which of you will make this, if it doesn't work, you have to find a way to buy some from other sources, and if you can't do it, it's good to grab it." ”
Ryan shook his head and said to Astarote, "No, you can disguise our identities and tell me that I'll do it." ”
"That's for the best, of course. "Astarlot saw that he didn't need extra branches, and his heart was also a lot more relieved, after all, now the entire abyss in the center of the earth has just been invaded by the army of dark elves, and he is afraid that the essence part has been looted, and at this time, he wants to find someone to buy a magic mask for disguise, but he is afraid that it will be difficult for Astaro to find someone to sell it no matter how rich he is.
"In that case, let's get out of here first, the closest staircase from here is about ten days away, and that time should be enough for you to make a magic mask for us, Lane. Astarote said slowly: "Anyway, if you have nothing to do, I will disguise this identity and tell you about it, it is actually very simple." The plane merchants who travel to and from the territory of the Rakshasa Demon are not only the Rakshasa Demon himself, but there will also be other races, and what we want to disguise is a small and famous caravan among them......"
Led by Astarote, Ryan and his party flew towards the nearest "staircase". The so-called "ladder" is the passage that connects the upper and lower abysses, and the plane of the Netherworld is different from other planes, and its several regions are distributed up and down, so that whether it is from top to bottom or from bottom to top, it must be reached through some spiraling passages, and this passage is also the "ladder".
As for the plane caravan that Astarlot mentioned, it was indeed real, but unfortunately they had already been wiped out, and it was a certain ogre lord under the Tiflin lord Kuze. After listening to Astarot's explanation, Ryan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, because he believed that this plane caravan was the caravan where the underground dwarf Miro had stayed, and the creator's arrangement was really wonderful, but unfortunately Miro was not here, otherwise it would be foolproof to have him as a guide.
