Chapter 234: Important Information and the Harpist
The next day, outside the city of Zerata, on the edge of the Salt River.
At the foot of an unnamed hillside, an inconspicuous mirror suddenly turned lustrous, emitting inconspicuous energy fluctuations.
Luke looked through the mirror to see three demons fighting each other in the vicinity, two orangutan-like Bagula and a hissing demon about the size of an oversized mosquito.
He sensed the strength of these three demons, and only wandered up and down the Brave Rank, and he didn't bother to use the identification technique, so he walked out of the mirror directly, and waved a piece of thunder with his hand, destroying them easily, and the experience was less than 1%.
Get used to it.
After stepping out of the mirror, Luke looked into the distance, confirmed the direction, took another step, disappeared in place, and walked out of another mirror dozens of kilometers away.
Along the way, he left a lot of mirrors along the way, in order to prevent being picked up and destroyed, in addition to the bright ones, in the dark holes, in the soil, there are a lot of deep burials, these are his back hands in order to prevent accidents, quickly escaped from Zerata, enough to consume thousands of lenses.
However, his "Wanhua Mirror" mirror world warehouse is large enough, and countless mirrors have been directly hoarded in it, and these more than 1,000 lenses have only consumed a small part of them.
After a few mirror shifts, and another 2% of his experience points along the way, Luke finally came to a location similar to that of Jeanne Jr.
It was still a dozen kilometers away from the Salt River, and Luke was only attracted to it when he was hunting demons nearby.
Continue to search along a somewhat unfamiliar route, and after three or five minutes, the nearby terrain is becoming more and more familiar, and it should be almost to the location where the spider queen stays.
Worried about what she had left here, such as cobwebs or trigger spells, Luke didn't get too close and observed from afar.
It looked like an ordinary wasteland, no different from any other location, and if it was a normal day, Luke wouldn't have noticed it at all, and even if he passed by, he would leave without hesitation. But to be able to stop by the Spider God Queen shows that there is indeed something extraordinary here.
Luke moved a little closer, intently sensing the anomaly nearby.
Well, I feel it.
There were at least three different spell fluctuations nearby, some unrecognizable transparent silk threads laid flat on the ground, and some strange little creatures hiding in the dirt underground.
Luke condensed his mental power into a thin line, carefully avoiding those dangerous spaces, repeatedly probing the locations where the spell fluctuations were most violent, and after a while, he finally found some unusual fluctuations.
Space.
The space here is a little different from the others, as if it is extraordinarily fragile, and can be pierced with a single poke.
However, it doesn't seem obvious on the surface, that is, he has the ability of [Alien Space Perception], so he can detect the weak point of space through spiritual perception.
The space is weak, fuck, it shouldn't be the way back to my hometown.
Is it through here next week?
There are too many precautions left by the Spider God, and Luke has the heart to investigate, but he can't crack it for a while.
After retracting his spiritual power, he had an idea and took out the "Wanhua Mirror".
[Mirror Shadow Curse Kill] starting pose, the "Wanhua Mirror" flies into the air, incorporating all the nearby into the mirror, and then constructs a space in the mirror world that is exactly the same as here.
Luke dodged into the mirror and stood in the "Dre Town", and his strength was greatly increased. He explores the wilderness in the mirror with his spiritual powers, and through the connection between the two, he explores the details of the abyssal wilderness in reality little by little.
It's not here, it's not the hillside
Not really! It's here!
Luke's spiritual power found the weakest point in time and space, and his spiritual power stabbed outward.
The person of the "Abyss Lord" ensured that the space on this side of the abyss would not hinder him, and the favor of the "Chosen One" made him equally welcome by the original world, and his spiritual power flowed like a river flowing between two confluent rivers. Strangely, between the two layers of film, there was also an extra layer of pure white light mask, which was a bit like the holy light that Luke had seen, but it was countless times purer, but it was a little thinner compared to the other two layers of film.
That layer of light film did not hinder Luke in the slightest, and his spiritual power directly passed through the thin layer of spatial film, basically feeling no obstacles.
On the other side of the space, Luke's vision appeared directly in mid-air, and below was a huge canyon, and at the bottom of the valley was a deep and winding river, with the river as the boundary, and the natural environment on both sides of the canyon was very different, like two different worlds. The south wall is desolate, full of bare rock walls and earth and rocks, presenting a desert scene, and the north wall is a natural scene with lush forests and herds of elk.
This magnificent canyon and strange sight made Luke lock on the location of the world's longest canyon, the Grand Canyon in the world.
Nine times out of ten, this is the breakthrough point of this abyssal invasion.
The goal was achieved, and Luke no longer lingered, and walked out of the "Wanhua Mirror" quickly, flying out some distance and returning to the Salt River, ready to return to Zerata.
With Luke's strength, there is naturally no danger on the way back, and the demons who met him have fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes, and often before they see him, they are scorched by a thunderbolt that falls from the sky, and the experience value has reached 90% with the support of these selfless demons.
At this pace, if you linger in the wilderness for a few more days, you will be able to level up.
Unfortunately, Luke has other things to do, and this bit of experience is nothing as long as his subsequent goals can be achieved.
Approaching Zerata, Luke's killing halted slightly, and he expertly lined up to enter the city and return to Babakar's Inn. The young man who greeted the guests in the hall called out to the room, and Luke asked solemnly, "Your inn has the ability to travel freely between the abyss and the main store, right?" ”
"It's not a secret," the young man nodded, "In the backyard there is a teleportation furnace that only our inn knows, it is connected to a large kiln in the wilderness, and the inn asked the magician to transform it into a passage connected to the first layer of the abyss, Pazunia. ”
"And then? Coming back to you from the Plains of Abyss is called. Feron: Right? How should I go? ”
"This. Sir, this is our secret," the young man said in a stern tone, "Pazunia has countless portals connected to other planes, and the one we have can go straight to Faerun. You know, if this kind of passage is mastered by the devil, it will be a big stab. ”
Luke asked puzzledly: "You all came to the abyss from Faerun, if someone kidnaps a young man, won't the passage be exposed?" ”
"Of course not, when we came, we were in an unconscious state from the entrance to Faerun, and we didn't wake up until we came to the inn, and we didn't know the distance at all."
Luke frowned, he had thought that the passage that allowed the innkeepers to come and go freely should be more common, so it would be a bit of a trouble.
He tried to ask, "I have a friend who has also come to Zelata, I don't feel safe here lately, I want to send her to Feron for a while in a few days, can I borrow your passage?" ”
"Friends?" The young man said hesitantly: "Although you are our top customer, Fei Lun does not welcome guests from the abyss, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." ”
Luke further explained: "She's not a demon, she's an ordinary human, pure-blood, and she came to the abyss because of an accident. ”
Henet was silent for a moment.
After getting along with Luke in the past few days, he has a certain preliminary understanding of Luke's personality, preferences and strength, and generally has a character portrait of Luke.
He should be strong, at least at the hero level or higher, considering the net worth he can come up with, the most likely is the exemplary level.
Judging by the way they talk and behave, the camp should be biased towards kindness, which is too rare in the abyss.
Such a character, perhaps, can be made more deeply? He deliberated in his heart, and finally made up his mind.
When he raised his head again, his expression was not quite the same as that of the diligent young man before, and he became radiant. He said bluntly, "Can I meet that friend of yours?" If she's not in danger, maybe I can help. ”
Luke looked embarrassed: "She's now imprisoned next to a big man, and I haven't rescued it yet, isn't it the first time to find a way to escape?" ”
"Big shots? It can't be Grazt. Henet asked half jokingly, half tentatively.
"Not really."
Hearing Luke's answer, Hone felt a little relieved, and then heard the second half of the sentence.
"It's Rose."
"Who?" Henet looked surprised: "Is that the Rose I know?" The Spider God Queen? ”
Luke nodded.
He's first reaction in his heart was,, this young man, offended a woman who was as ruthless as Grazt, and was still more resentful.
Before the shock was over, he suddenly reacted: "Rose has come to Zerata?" ”
"Yes, it's in the Silver Palace."
Luke also noticed that the young man was unusual, but he didn't delve into his secrets more, he only cared about whether his purpose could be achieved.
Henet took out an inconspicuous little black handbag from his arms, and took out a scroll that was obviously larger than the package, and the small bag turned out to be a space equipment.
He tore the scroll open, and a flash of light filled the room in an instant.
"It's a spell to prevent eavesdropping and prying eyes," Herne said with a serious face after his introduction, "Mr. Luke, I think we need to talk openly and honestly. ”
Luke thought about it, although this young guy has some secrets, his hard power is average, and his retreat is guaranteed, and it doesn't hurt to tell him about the future. The worst-case scenario is nothing more than killing him and running away through the mirror world.
Anyway, the specific location of the Abyss invasion has been found, and it is not a big problem whether to go to the Siani Tavern or not.
He responded, "Yes." ”
Without waiting for him to tell his origins, in order to show his sincerity, Henet took the first step to speak: "You know the 'Holy Light World', I mentioned it when we first met. ”
Yes?
I know too well, I'm a native of the Holy Light World.
According to the information obtained at the Siani Tavern, the so-called Holy Light World is the world that Luke has crossed over, and it is being violently violated by the Abyss.
Seeing Luke nod, the young man continued, "I'm ostensibly an innkeeper, but at the same time I'm a harpist. ”
"Harpist?" Luke asked suspiciously, "Are you still working part-time in the orchestra?" ”
"Oh yes, you're not from Ferron," Henet explained, "The Harpermen's League, a loose organization founded by Ilminster, Torrell's most powerful mage. ”
He is supposed to be Ilminster's fan brother, and specially explained to Luke about his strength: "He is a legendary mage, but far more powerful than the average legendary mage, he is the chosen person of the goddess of magic, Mithra, and even the goddess of magic herself professed his love, and in the years of disaster, he once sealed Mistra's uncontrollable power inside himself, thus saving the world of Torrell from destruction." ”
Luke hissed in his heart.
A legendary mage comparable to the gods, it's no wonder that Herne is so proud of the Harpists Organization.
"So you came to the abyss on the orders of the Harpists Alliance?"
"Yes," Hernet said proudly, "In order to save the 'Holy Light World' and stop Grazt's evil plots, I have been sent undercover by the Harpists League, ready to interrupt their plot at a critical moment. ”
"So, the Harpists League is actually an espionage organization?"
"It's not!" Insulted to his faith, Herne was incompetent and furious, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't quite think of the difference between himself and the spy, so he could only defend himself from the perspective of the camp: "We are committed to repelling evil, preserving knowledge and maintaining the balance between civilization and nature. ”
"Good, good," Luke chimed indifferently, "what a great organization, I admire it deeply." ”
Herne looked at the expression on his face and tried to argue a few more words, but he didn't know what to say, so he turned the subject back to business.
"Grazt's invasion of the 'Holy Light World' is about to begin, and recently rumors have been circulating out of nowhere, saying that the rules of that world are peculiar, and they generally possess divinity at the exemplary level, and the number of people who sign up for the invasion group has skyrocketed."
After talking for a long time, Herne picked up the water glass in the guest room, poured himself a glass of water, and asked, "I think I have said enough, what about you?" ”
Luke thought for a moment and said, "I'm from the 'Holy Light World' you spoke of. ”
"Ahem!" The water that the young man had just drunk stuck in his throat and spit out, and asked in disbelief, "Are you from the 'Holy Light World'?" ”
"Yes, so is my friend, we all came to the abyss by accident."
Herne suddenly thought about Luke's visit to the tavern on the first day, "So. At that time, you asked me about the location of the Siani Tavern, in order to sign up for the invasion team, and then go back with the invasion team? ”
"Not really, I have other options, but my friend can't, and once I steal her from the Spider God, she'll find out soon, so I want to send her to Feren for the time being." Luke said depressedly.
"That's it" The two initially established trust, and Henet dragged out his voice, and finally said: "I'll help you communicate, it should be okay." ”
