Chapter 685: A Terrible Place
The news of the official opening of the Lost Lands territory soon spread throughout the surrounding realms.
People have been interested in this mysterious territory for a long time, especially after reading the reports of other investigation teams, many forces have sent emissaries to the Lost Lands to try to deal with this new force called the Inquisition.
However......... But they didn't even enter the gates of the Lost Lands.
The entire Lost Lands is completely fenced off, like a wall erected by a construction company, completely preventing others from entering, and it is announced that construction work is currently underway inside the Lost Lands, and that it will be officially opened when everything is over.
I have to say that this answer made many forces confused, after all, according to the common practice on the Faren Continent, the construction of a territory requires a lot of resources and transactions, so they also want to get a piece of the pie in advance, but they didn't expect people to play their own ......... behind closed doors And according to the observations of these envoys, they didn't see a large amount of supplies being transported into the Lost Lands, so what were they doing inside?
No one knew about this, because the tall guardrails completely enclosed the entire Lost Land, and obscured everyone's view. Of course, there are also some less sophisticated organizations that try to use magic or send some spies to investigate, and the result is ......... Nothing, of course.
The only thing they could see was the silhouette of the massive metal church complex in the distance inside the Lost Lands.
And now, the territory has finally removed the veil of mystery and revealed its true colors.
"Hey, are we really going to that place of the hell?"
Sitting in the carriage, Brooke looked uneasily at his companions, who were originally residents of Waterdeep and had opened a small shop there. But then they are targeted and forced to leave Waterdeep to live elsewhere, and Brooke's boss makes the decision to go to the Lost Lands.
"Of course, Brooke, you stupid pig."
Driving the carriage, Kellyon whistled.
"You know what? It's an unexplored territory, which means we can find a lot of work there! You can't go without eating, sleeping, wearing clothes, or tools! Our Chamber of Commerce will definitely have a lot to offer there! β
"I don't think so."
However, compared to Kellyon's high spirits, Brooke was worried.
"Those big businessmen must have taken the good place long ago, and maybe our final fate is to set up a stall on the street."
"Oh, shut up, it's not got to that point."
Hearing Brooke's negative answer, as always, Kellyon glared at his brother viciously.
"We'll be able to make a comeback here, and we'll be rich by then!" Giant businessmen! β
"It could also be a corpse lying in a stinking ditch, a beggar on the side of the road..............."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Kellyon had nothing to say, so he withdrew his gaze and looked at him again.
"Alright, no matter what you say, we're almost there......... Oh, my God......... The gods are above! β
When Kellyon looked ahead again, the carriage also turned the last corner, and at this moment, a huge metal gate that was dozens of meters high came directly into his eyes, almost startling Kellyon.
Kellyon had seen a lot of things in Waterdeep, but he swore he had never seen anything like it. The huge metal iron gate erected in the center of the valley that entered the Lost Lands was as tall as a castle, and now its gates were closed, but the side doors on either side of the doorposts were opened to welcome guests from the outside world. The crowd formed a long queue and was preparing to enter this territory.
"That's too much of an exaggeration........."
Seeing this, Kellyon swallowed a mouthful of saliva, generally speaking, the territory will only build gates and walls in its main city, but this force called the Inquisition is so terrifying, it directly surrounds the entire territory, how many materials do you need! Especially the gate, which should not be gold, but bronze, but ......... A bronze gate? Where did you get so much copper!
Well, in this regard, Duanmu Huai said, if I don't smelt copper, how can I enrich the country and strengthen the army......... Well, that's a long way off.
It must be said that the gate itself was enough to be a luxurious and magnificent view, and the closer it got, the more Kellyon shuddered. The heavy metal gate was carved with a huge golden skull pattern, and around the skull there was a circle of golden gears, and behind it were the emblems of the double-headed eagle and the warhammer, and on both sides of the gate, the equally tall warriors wearing huge armor and holding long swords were standing there, staring coldly at the arrival of the group of uninvited guests in front of them.
Frankly, the mere sight of the door and the sculptures on either side is enough to feel a terrible sense of oppression, and enough to prove that the territory itself is not a place of hospitality.
But what puzzled Kellyon even more was the words "Arkham" written on the doorβββ which is the name of the city? Or the name of the territory?
"We should get out of here."
Brooke almost wailed.
"This is not the place we should be, God forbid, this is hell where the devil comes! You see, there are so many people in front of us, they wear gold and silver, they must be rich merchants, compared to them, we are just two small pawns, brother, it is still too late, we turn the carriage, and then go to the nearby village, do a little business there, and then spend our lives in peace............"
"Shut up, you idiot!!"
Kellyon angrily interrupted his brother's complaint.
"I've had enough of your retarded complaints! If you want to leave, then get out of the carriage now and go wherever you like! And they're not merchants, hey, they're paladins from Tyre, and Thom, and Loshanda......... Suren ......... Oh my God, what the hell is going on? β
Kellyon's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the envoys who were about to enter the territory not far away, all of them were god-worshippers, and almost all of them were the most famous and beloved god-messengers on the continent of Faeron. But today they would gather here and come to the Lost Lands together?
Kellyon also knew that god-worshippers generally did not associate with a newborn territory in this way, and that they did go to meet with the lord and ask for permission to preach and plant a church. But at the moment, this is obviously different, and the appearance of these divine messengers gathered together feels more like they are going to a meeting.........
But what exactly is the meeting that will bring so many messengers of the gods to attend?
Thinking of this, Kellyon shuddered and hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
He's just a businessman, and he doesn't want to get involved in some troublesome things.
At this moment, the line of Kellyon's platoon also slowly advanced, and soon he came to the entrance of the side door.
"Who are you? What is the purpose of coming to the Lost Lands? β
A terrifying being who was taller than Kellyon and wearing black armor stood in front of him like this, his eyes radiated scarlet brilliance, and asked coldly, and hearing his voice, Kellyon also trembled and hurriedly stood up.
"Report ......... No, honorable ......... That one......... Dear sir, we are brothers Kelly and Brooke from Waterdeep, we are merchants and want to run a business in the Lost Lands........."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Before Kellyon could finish his words, he was obediently shut by the eyes of the night guard in front of him.
However, at this moment, suddenly there was a commotion from the team next to him.
"What kidding, why don't you let me in!"
Hearing this, Kellyon was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to see that on the other side, a heavily armed lizardman dressed like an adventurer was roaring angrily at another Night Guard.
"Only humans and sub-human races are allowed to enter the Inquisition, and no alien race is allowed to enter."
In the face of the lizardman's roar, the night guard said coldly, and hearing this, the lizardman became even more and more annoyed.
"No kidding! Do you think I'm a goblin and a gnolls?! You ..............."
However, before the lizardman could finish his words, Kellyon saw the night guard suddenly raise a strange, saw-like thing in his hand and aim at the other party, and then with a "bang", the lizardman's head shattered and scattered all over the ground. Its headless corpse shook and fell to the ground.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned, and at this moment, a girl dressed as a priest next to her walked out, glaring angrily at the night guard.
"Why are you doing this? He just wanted to go in and have a look, and even if he wasn't allowed to go in, there was no need to kill him! β
"For the Inquisition, all Xenomorphs are targets to be eliminated."
The Night Guard gave a faint answer, but at this moment, suddenly, a noble man who looked like a child of a rich family sneered and walked out.
"Oh? According to you, as long as it is an alien race, then the Inquisition will wipe it out? β
"That's right."
"Very good, interesting ..............."
Hearing the words of the night guard, the man nodded, and then the robe on his body suddenly rose without a storm, and the next moment, a huge green dragon suddenly appeared in front of everyone!
"In that case, then I'd like to see what your court has ..................!!"
"Bang!!"
"Destroy the Alien !!"
The green dragon raised its head high, but before it could finish its words, it saw the surrounding night guards roar angrily, and the next moment they directly raised their weapons and launched an attack on the green dragon. With the sound of thunderous bombardment, everyone was surprised to see that the green dragon's body suddenly burst into blood flowers, and under this fierce attack, the green dragon didn't even finish pretending to be forced to say a word before he wailed, and collapsed directly to the ground. And the next moment, I saw the night guards patrolling above, suddenly raised the chainsaw gun in their hands, jumped down, and then the whistling and spinning chainsaw in their hands slashed directly into the body of the green dragon!
"Ahhβββββ!!h
The green dragon let out a terrible scream, and the people next to him scattered in fright, watching the giant dragon roll desperately on the ground, but it was meaningless, just a moment, one of the night guards cut off the green dragon's head, turning it into a corpse.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
At this moment, Kellyon had collapsed to the ground, and his brother Brooke next to him had long since fallen unconscious.
Looking at the corpse of the green dragon that had been dragged away by the Night Guard like a dead dog, Kellyon swallowed silently.
This time, I may have come to a terrible place...............
