Chapter 952 Fortress of Light
To the south of the Dasai Desert and to the north of the Kehari River, a 100-kilometer-long mountain range blocked the road to the south of the wind and sand, as if it had been split by a sword of the gods.
Wind Howling Canyon is also called "Ghost Gate Gorge" or "Man-eating Valley" by the local chilling and palpitating Shurima people.
The peaks and peaks outside the valley are stacked, splitting the ground and skyscraper; The side of the valley is rugged and majestic; The valley is meandering, the peak turns around, the deepest and strange place is not wide and not more than a meter, narrow as a dark alley, the sky is not seen in the back, the day is like night, and the song is like a labyrinth.
The dark red valley road soaked in blood like a prison has no grass, there are piles of bones, and there is no distinction between humans and animals, coupled with the howling of the wind like a ghost crying and a god, it is even more poignant and cold, quiet and gloomy, and it is really terrifying.
As a natural line of defense against wind and sand erosion, the Wind Howling Canyon, where many fierce birds and beasts live, has always been a forbidden area for Shurima scavengers and herdsmen.
In the face of the thousands of miles of mountain ridges with many terrifying rumors, only the most experienced hunters dare to break through the outer edge of the canyon, even if they are given more money, no one will go deep into the forbidden canyon where day and night are far more terrifying than fierce birds and beasts.
Only the Kehali River rushing from the Sea of Watchmen dared to go deep into the valley, surging to the west, the rushing river that stretched for thousands of miles did not enter the valley, and then flowed out of the valley mouth thousands of miles away like thunder, for thousands of years, no one knows how the river water penetrated the Jiuqu Ileum Gorge.
Under the gaze of several fierce vultures, a dusty young man looked up at the craggy rocks not far away, and involuntarily recalled the various legends that circulated in Marvi City, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and tightened the bag containing dry food and water bladders behind him.
According to his teacher, Satya, the Fortress of Light was built in the Wind Howling Canyon, and he had never seen the Wind Howling Canyon before, and he was still unimpressed by those outrageous legends, and now just standing outside the canyon, he already felt the infiltrating chill hidden in the canyon.
It was as if a greedy eye was staring at him, even though he was about to take his corpse.
At this moment, the young man with a lively mind will inevitably have more other ideas.
"I save enough food in my bag for a week, but the question is can I find the Fortress of Light in the canyon within a week? If you can't find the fortress of light, won't you starve to death in a canyon where there is no grass?
And, why did the Sentinels of Light build their stronghold in such a barren and dangerous place? Even if there are only a dozen people living in the Fortress of Light, the amount of food eaten on weekdays is probably an extremely large number, even if it is transported from Marvi City by Skarash, it will have to be transported several times a year, and there are herders and scavengers wandering outside the valley, it is impossible to hide people's eyes.
Why, then, has there never been any other rumors of Malvi? ”
Akshan, whose thinking was gradually diverging, seemed to have thought of something crucial, his expression was suddenly startled, and he clapped his hands vigorously.
"Wait, could it be that the people of the Fortress of Light are self-sufficient at all? Keharijiang, Kehari Lijiang...... Yes, how can the living river of Hali River really not grow a single grass?
Thinking about it this way, I will definitely get clues to the Fortress of Light by searching all the way along the Kehari River, no wonder Satya is very sure that I can find the location of the Fortress of Light.
It is better to say that as long as it can be determined that there are a group of people living in the Wind Howling Canyon, they can think of the Kehari River, and then find the location of the Bright Fortress......
I just don't know what the holy weapon that the Fortress of Light guards in Satya's mouth is, but it makes those light sentinels prefer to stay in the lonely canyon than away from people. ”
With a little confidence in his heart, Akshang no longer hesitated and entered the valley alone.
……
Four days passed in a flash, and in the hall of the main fortress built by the mountain, Akeshan, who was clean but very tired, successfully met the target person that Satya asked him to find.
The brown beard and beard like a steel needle stand erect, the height is two meters, the body is as strong as an ox, the appearance of the strong man is about forty years old, a silver plate armor looks like it weighs a hundred catties, the man holds the holy stone shield in his left hand, and holds a double-edged sword that ordinary people need to hold in both hands in his right hand to slash in the air, and every move exudes a suffocating oppressive force.
The man in front of him was none other than Douglas, the chief guard of the Fortress of Light, a ten-out Noxian tough guy.
"Boy, it seems that you are a good seedling in the mouth of a lone wolf, before speaking, let me see your ability."
As soon as his gaze fell on Akshan's left hand, Douglas recognized the identity of the man, the gloom in his eyes flashed, and the man gestured as if nothing had happened, and immediately another younger light sentry stepped forward and handed Akshan the real sword, and he handed the heavy shield to another female light sentry.
The real sword is double-edged, and it is cold under the flames of the fortress Changming Torch, which is obviously a rare good sword.
Akshan, who had an anxious face, did not take the real sword, and the young man who was afraid of delaying his kung fu hurriedly explained.
"But Lady Satya, she made me ......"
With a wave of his hand, Douglas coldly interrupted what Akshan had not finished speaking.
"Let you tell us that the Shadow Isle Miscellaneous is here for the Sacred Artifact guarded by the Fortress of Light?"
Akshan was stunned, he didn't understand why the man in front of him had said the news he was about to bring before he could speak.
Douglas didn't mean to waste time with the little ghost, and ruthlessly told the truth.
"If the Fortress of Light needed a little ghost like you to be able to take precautions, the people here would have been dead for eight hundred years.
Boy, don't think I'm talking badly, there's only one reason why your teacher will arrange this task for you, she can't cover the trouble in Malvi City, she doesn't want you, an arrogant idiot, to die in Malvi City,
Without this hard task, a kid of your size would be the most self-righteous, and he didn't know what trouble he would cause to a lone wolf if he stayed there. ”
Akshan lowered his head, his body trembled, and he clenched his fists tightly, he wanted to punch Douglas in the face, but he also knew that Douglas was right, if Satya bluntly told him to escape, with his pride, he would never run away alone.
But in this case, doesn't it mean that Satya is ......
Noticing that Akshan had listened to his words, Douglas snorted coldly.
"Okay, enough nonsense between us, I don't have any extra effort to spend with you little ghost,
Listen, there are only two kinds of people in the Fortress of Light, one is the warrior who dares to go into battle to kill the enemy and face death, and the other is the handyman who does not need to fight and is protected by others,
Now, either grab your weapons and prove to me that you're a good warrior in the mouth of a lone wolf, or shut your mouth and get out and clean the fort's toilets! Since you are a lone wolf, I will not kick you out of the fortress of light, but if you want to earn the respect of others, do it yourself. ”
After being humiliated many times, Acshan's favor for the Fortress of Light was gone, and he took the one-handed sword from the apologetic Sentinel of Light, glared at the plate-armored Douglas, and gritted his teeth to speak.
"How do you want to fight?"
Douglas sneered.
"Finally got some meaning, little ghost, you can fight as much as you want, if you can kill me, stab me with a sword, no one here will trouble you, and then you can become the boss here."
"But you're wearing such thick armor!"
Akshan hated it, but Douglas was indifferent.
"There's never fair ground in a real fight."
At this point, Akshang had no choice, and took the initiative to set up a one-handed sword that was not light or heavy to put on a position against Douglas, feeling the one-handed sword like a finger, Akshang was a little surprised, and instantly liked the weapon in his hand.
This was the first time he had touched the weapons of the Sentinels of Light, but he could feel the sophistication of the weapons in his hands, neither the balance nor the sharpness of the steel swords that the warlords of Malvi City regarded as treasures.
This is the dream sword that belongs to every warrior.
"Huh!"
Stepping forward, Akshan turned his crotch and arm to perform a beautiful whirling slash, and the blade in his hand turned into a swift silver light and slashed towards Douglas's abdomen, the movement was extremely standard.
With a "bang", the double-edged greatsword blocked with the spine of the sword, flicking off the blade of the one-handed sword, and Akshan retreated with the help of force, unloading the shock force from his wrist, avoiding the tragedy of the weapon coming out of his hand.
Seeing that Akshan took over his block, Douglas's eyes flashed, and he took the initiative to step forward and dodge a horizontal slash, and between the movement of the bright plate armor, the heavy and slender sword slashed out like a needle prick, and the back hair slashed towards Akshan's neck.
Faced with an uncontrollable slash, Akshan's first thought was that he would definitely die under this undodgable sword, and the second thought was that the man in front of him could not really kill him.
Knowing that he would not die, Akshan also had the courage to take a risk.
When the sword edge was approaching, Akshang did not hesitate to let go of the one-handed sword, supported his waist with both hands to make an iron plate bridge, and the tip of his nose was able to dodge the terrifying sword blade that was suddenly a little slower, and then the center of gravity shifted to the bent arms, kicked on the spot, kicked up with his right leg, and kicked on the spine of the double-edged greatsword with dexterity and strength, so that the trajectory of the greatsword deviated diagonally upwards uncontrollably, and Douglas revealed the only flaw.
With the power of the backpedal, Akshan rolled and stood up again, and in the process of turning over, Akshang had already thrown out the short dagger he was carrying, and the main thing was to catch him off guard.
The short dagger whirled and whistled towards Douglas's face, and the panting boy looked expectantly, only to see that his carefully prepared blow was swatted away with his other hand by a man as strong as a wild bear like a fly.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the iron dagger that Akshang had spent a lot of money to ask the excellent blacksmith of Malwei City to customize fell to the ground, and the blade on one side actually had three more cracked gaps, which made the young man worry for a while, even if the one-handed sword was broken, he was not so distressed.
When Akshan gritted his teeth and picked up the one-handed sword again, he saw that Douglas had put away the big sword and commanded the brown-haired female sentry carrying the shield.
"Sally, make arrangements for this kid, don't let this kid get me in trouble."
Returning the shield to Douglas, the female sentry named Sally nodded, twisted her plump body belonging to a and came to Akshan and rubbed Akshan's head, smiling slightly, her face was quite gorgeous.
"It can make Lord Douglas deflated, little brother, I didn't expect you to be not only handsome, but also so good, come with my sister, the Bright Fortress is not big or small, if you don't know the way well, it's easy to get lost."
The bikini-like light leather armor was very difficult to wrap around Sally's chest, and Akshang looked at the plump and white skin less than five centimeters away from his forehead in a daze, but the words "big", "so big" and "too big" unconsciously appeared in his mind.
It wasn't until a few nearby sentinels of light chuckled that the stunned Acchan took a step back and turned his head with a red face, as if to drive some kind of smell out of his head with a strange thought.
Sally...... Sister...... I have a good memory, and no matter how old I am, I won't get lost. ”
As if she had made some decision, Sally looked very happy with her eyebrows curled her eyes.
"Giggles, you're still young, but you can't recognize any road, there is a dry road and a waterway in the Bright Fortress, and you have to teach your sister to recognize the road to grow up......"
"Boy, cherish the present time, only Sally's mother in this world will be so gentle and tolerant of every lost boy, she is the goddess of our fortress of light, don't make her angry, otherwise I am not as 'kind' as Lord Guard."
I always felt that there was something in the words of those men who were squeezing their eyebrows, and Akshan was about to say something when Sally hurriedly pulled him away.
"Don't pay attention to these stupid guys, my sister will take you to the bed first, just to see if the size is appropriate."
"Can I change it if it's not suitable?"
Sally smiled.
"I can change it, but I'm afraid you can't."
While Sally, the Sentinel of Light, was familiarizing himself with the new member Akshan, Douglas returned to the private room belonging to the Sentinel Guard alone and closed the door.
The stubborn and cold man like an anvil finally put down the big sword and heavy shield in his hand, faded the plate armor that had become a part of his body, sat at the table quite sadly rubbed his face with his hands, and when the calloused hands were put down, the man's face was already a little more silent and painful.
A white jade ring was taken out of the locked jewelry box, and its shape was very similar to the ring in Akshan's hand.
Stroking the Ring of Oath, Douglas murmured softly.
"Satya, if our children can still take up arms, they should be this old...... Goddess Soraka, please bless Satya to come back alive. (End of chapter)
