Chapter 680: A Second Deal with the Demon
Hearing Britney's words, Roger and Antonio both looked back in surprise, only to see Britney in front of them accompanied by Catherine and Tali with Lilith in her arms, Rogge stepped forward and asked with concern: "What you said is true? Do you know where William is?"
"Not only do I know where he is, I've seen him. Britney looked at Rogge with a solemn expression and replied, everyone present looked at each other in surprise, surprised by her words, Antonio and the god of lights came to Rogge's side, and the head of the knight said to Britney, "Miss Britney, please tell me slowly, what is going on."www.biquge.info ”
"That's right," said Britney, looking down thoughtfully, "just after I left the Harpy's house, I came to a nearby wood, where I cried and fell asleep, and when I woke up, I found myself in a study. ”
"There I met a husky man in a black cloak, who told me that he was William, the owner of the Shadow Keep, and that his Void Hunters had brought me back from the forest, and that the study I had seen was the Shadow Keep. ”
"I asked him why he did this, and he said he knew everything about me and your actions, do you remember the first time we met the Void Hunters?" she turned her gaze to Rog, who nodded affirmatively, and Britney continued, "He sent the Void Hunter to find me that time. ”
"What does he want to do?" Rogge looked at Britney with a frown, and Britney replied without hesitation: "He wants the spell of the Eye of the Revenant, although he didn't tell me directly, but from his words, I can feel that he wants to please me, make me believe in him, and help him open the Eye of the Revenant." ”
"It's pretty much what I thought. Rogge and Antonio exchanged glances, nodded slightly, and said, "Then how did you deal with him?"
"I began to pretend not to know about the Eye of the Dead, but he used his mind-reading to expose me, but he also knew that I did not know the spell of the Eye of the Dead, and that the only way to get the spell was for me to have soul sympathy with the soul of Jorgiana, and to get the spell from Jorgiana's mouth. ”
So he persuaded me to stay, he was willing to be my teacher, and even said that I should be his future heir, but I never gave him a positive answer, and he never seemed to lose patience, and he never seemed to back down until he had achieved his goal, and he frightened me. ”
"You're right, that's why this old immortal has been in the Imperial's Condor Prison for a hundred years, and he can still run out alive and cause us so much trouble. Rogge lit a cigar and sighed as he brought it to his lips.
"Later, he didn't embarrass you, did he?" asked Antonio with concern.
Britney shook her head lightly, and said with palpitations: "Not really, but he has always taken me with him, and as long as he is around, I feel a strong fear, and I have to think twice every time I answer him." ”
"He showed me around the entire Shadow Fortress, and I saw that the Dark Wizards seemed to be preparing to leave, but I didn't dare to ask where they were going, and I didn't expect him to tell me that they were temporarily evacuating the Shadow Fortress in order to welcome the arrival of the two Imperial Regiments, and he said that he had prepared a great gift for you......"
"He's right, a galloping steak. Rog shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the newly injured knights to Britney and said, "As you saw just now, the Knights have suffered a heavy blow, and the Priesthood is now nowhere to be found, this is William's gift to us." ”
"I'm still a step late, I would have liked to find you in advance and tell you all about it. Britney sighed apologetically and said, "But William has always taken me with him, and on the way to evacuate, I thought about escaping, but he watched him very closely and had no chance." ”
"You just said you know where William is, tell me where he's hiding now?" Rog asked the lamp god to hold the dimensional map in front of Britney, Britney glanced down at the map and said, "I followed him and the dark wizards to a cave southwest of the fortress, it should be this one." ”
She pointed to the back of the hill where the cave was located on the dimensional map and said, "This hill has two caves in the front and back, the back one is very narrow, I escaped from there, William was going to arrange something, he left me, I took the opportunity to kill the two Void Hunters who stayed behind, and then ran out of the cave behind." ”
"Britney's escape will definitely make William aware of the possibility of leaks, will he have already left the cave?" Antonio asked Rog worriedly, Rog shook his head after a little thought, and said, "It shouldn't be so fast, he may still be searching for Britney and our whereabouts now, we may still have a chance." ”
He turned to the god of lights and said, "Please find the entrance to the cave that Britney said, determine the coordinates of the area in the cave that can accommodate our troops, and then teleport our team directly to the cave, if William is there, we will directly copy his back road, if not, we can also find another way." ”
The god of lights immediately took action, and Antonio also gathered all the knights and royal guards in the whole team, and when the god of lights determined the teleportation coordinates, he immediately opened the door of the ten dimensions and teleported everyone to the cave.
Rogge, who entered the cave first, surveyed his surroundings with his night eyes, a dark cavern underground, the ground covered with dry earth, the towering roof supported by stone pillars, and the air was filled with a cold chill that was as chilling as the deathly silence.
While Rogge was observing the situation, Lilith, who had turned into a little owl, landed on his shoulder, looked back suspiciously at Britney, who was standing beside Catherine, and whispered to Rogge, "Bad wolf, I think that bad woman is lying." ”
"Don't call her Britney, can't you change this grudge problem?" Rog gently touched her little head and persuaded him.
"I just don't think she's reliable!" said the little furball stubbornly pouting, "Look at this dark here, and her eyes can't see in the dark, I don't believe she can escape from the bad wizard!"
Rog thought for a while and nodded slightly, and the little furball saw him nodding and hurriedly asked, "Do you also feel that something is wrong?"
"You have a point," Rogge said with a smile and looking back at the concerned little furball on his shoulder, "However, you forgot that Britney's necromantic scythe glows, and in fact all magic weapons do, which doesn't prevent wizards without night vision from traveling in the dark." ”
"As for the Dark Wizard, maybe William was really negligent, I'd rather believe that's the case, we're already here anyway, we have to go in and find out, don't we?"
The little furball tilted his little head and thought about it, but he didn't seem to think of any other way, so he had to lie down on Rogge's shoulder, Rogge came to Antonio's side, and after the team was assembled, Britney led the way, and two hundred silver dragon knights and a thousand royal guards marched towards the depths of the cave.
The group passed through wide passages and wide caves, but there was no shadow of the dark wizard on the way, and Rogge observed the traces on the ground as he walked, and found no footprints or traces left by people, which made him feel a little puzzled.
He pondered for a moment and stopped, and at the same time waved his hand to stop the people behind him, and Antonio, who was walking beside him, also stopped and asked, "What's wrong?
"I have a question for Britney," Rogge turned his gaze to Britney's face illuminated by the light of the Necromantic Scythe, Britney looked at him with a puzzled expression, only to hear Rogge ask, "Was this the path you took when you fled this place before?"
"Yes, I escaped from here, and if we go in the opposite direction, we will enter a path, which will probably only allow one or two people to pass, and if we follow that road until we go around to the mouth of the cave at the back of the mountain. Britney replied affirmatively the way they had come.
"But why didn't I find any footprints on the dusty road we came over?" asked Rogge, who looked down and stomped his foot lightly, looking up at Britney in confusion.
Britney was stunned for a moment, looking at him a little bewildered, and the little furball lying on Rogge's shoulder suddenly jumped up and shouted, "The bad woman must be lying to us!
"Shut up, little villain, don't mess around. Rog gently pressed the little furball down with his hand, turned back to Britney, and said, "What the hell is going on? Are you hiding something from us?"
Before Britney could answer, she suddenly heard a low roar from the cave in front of her, and Rog, Antonio and the others looked back in the direction where the sound came from, feeling the ground under their feet shake slightly, and two golden lights lit up in the darkness in the distance.
"What's that?" Antonio looked at the two circles of golden light in the darkness in amazement, and glanced back at Rog beside him, who stared at the two lights with a frown, feeling that every time the earth under his feet trembled, they moved closer in his direction.
Suddenly, the sound of wings flapping came from ahead, and a wave of air rushed towards Rogge and Antonio, only to hear a roar, something fell heavily to the ground, and the wave of air that landed on the ground knocked Roger and Antonio to the ground.
When Rog looked up at the behemoth that was close at hand, he found that it had the head and body of a lion, but on its back it had a pair of huge bat wings, and the tail behind it was shaped like a scorpion's tail hook, and its body was brownish-red, with a pair of scarlet demonic horns on its head, and a pair of blood-red eyes staring at the people on the ground above its large mouth full of fangs.
"Lion Scorpion, this is the lair of the Lion Scorpion...... Rogge got up from the ground in surprise, and Antonio slowly got up and stepped back, suddenly hearing Catherine's shout from behind: "Britney!"
Rog and Antonio looked back sharply, only to see Britney's figure gradually disappear from their sight, and at the moment when she was about to disappear, she left the last words in everyone's ears: "I'm sorry, this is both for the sake of the dead Bruce and for myself, I made a deal with the devil!"
As Britney's figure disappeared from the crowd, the scorpion's roar echoed in everyone's ears again, and Roger and Antonio slowly turned their heads to look up at the poisonous behemoth, and saw it raise its poisonous claws and grab them in the air.
