Underworld, Castlevania.

The Knights hurried to the Knights, and after more than a dozen demonic beast attacks, they finally arrived under Castlevania on the fourteenth day.

Unlike Mountain Flame City, which dug deep wells on the mountainside to divert magma gushing and cast them into fire springs for lighting, Castlevania directly excavated the volcano and built a castle inside the crater, and the city was surrounded by blazing fire and black smoke all day long.

This has led to the wonder of how they have protected the city's inhabitants from the heat and toxic smoke. You must know that volcanic ash is highly poisonous. But on second thought, this is a world where magic and vindictiveness exist, and all questions can be answered from them.

"Castlevania is divided into an inner city and an outer city, the inner city is where knights, wizards and their families live, outsiders generally stay there, there are city guards patrolling and guarding it day and night, although this is the case, it is also common for conflicts to break out in it, this place is called Castlevania, you should also know that it has no real rules, and you can mess around with big fists." Reynolds looked disdainful, compared to here, Mountain Flame City was simply a paradise on earth.

"The outer city is the residence of ordinary people and slaves, on the edge of the volcano, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, these people are not protected, they are often slaughtered by the hermit sorcerers to practice the abyss evil law, and ordinary outsiders basically do not stay in the outer city, so as not to suffer."

"It's not a hassle to enter the inner city, and Castlevania has been recruiting mercenaries recently, so we can pretend to be mercenaries who go to the overworld to adventure, and then take the opportunity to destroy the space gate."

Reynolds urged the argali, ready to leave, and said with a big grin: "Let's enter the city, there is still one day before the door of space opens, don't delay the time." ”

At this time, Hawkins stopped him and said, "Don't worry, we can't go together." ”

"Why?" Reynolds asked, glaring into the boss's eyes.

Hawkins thought for a moment and asked, "Are there teams of knights and wizards in the underworld?" ”

Reynolds craned his neck and said without hesitation: "Of course there is, we dwarves are like that. Everything is a group of people. ”

"What about humans?"

Reynolds nodded and said: "There are also mercenary groups in the dark world, they can undertake any task, we in Mountain Flame City often hire people from the Redstone Army to help us deliver goods, they are the largest mercenary group around Mountain Flame City, and their reputation is also very good, I think we can pretend to be some small mercenary forces." ”

"Alright, please tell us the details of the mercenaries." Hawkins said, "By the way, Kelvin, you find a place to hide the horses, Urpe's horses are red all over and are easy to identify, in case a wizard returning from the battlefield sees them." ”

Kelvin nodded and left with his knights.

Half an hour later, a group of black-clad and red-clad processionmen climbed the volcano and passed through the slum-like outer city into the crater.

When everyone stepped into the edge of the crater, they saw a dark red city floating on the slowly tumbling magma lake below, and there were huge stone sculptures around the edge of the city, these stone sculptures were some monsters with hideous faces, half of their bodies were soaked in the magma lake, and their huge hands held the corner of the city, lifting it so that it would not fall, and in the center of the city, a huge statue almost as high as the volcano stood, although the statue's head was level with the crater, but everyone could not see the specific appearance of the statue, as if there was an invisible force blocking everyone's vision, The knights' target, the Spatial Gate, was between its knees.

"Don't look at it, this is the demon god of the main sacrifice of the Abyss Hermitage Society, usually shrouded in magic power and people can't see it clearly, unless the important sacrifice of the Hermitage will reveal its true face." Reynolds waved at the crowd and drove the argali, who followed.

From the crater to the inner city, there was a magma condensation avenue, and as soon as everyone walked into the avenue, the scorching poisonous air disappeared in an instant, and the cool air filled everyone's lungs again.

Sure enough, there is magic to protect from poison, otherwise even a wizard would not survive for three days in this environment.

Castlevania is not heavily defended, and anyone can enter as long as they pay taxes. Reynolds took out a bag of C-grade energy stones early and pointed to the people behind him: "Together." ”

"A combination of dwarves and humans?" The city defense guards were a little surprised, "You're here to accept a hire?" ”

Reynolds nodded.

The city gate was very lively, there were dwarves, goblins, and more human knights in gray clothes, these people were very strong, with a weathered face, and there were many groups of them, obviously from other city-states to participate in the war.

After Kelvin and Hawkins deliberately suppressed their strength, the Knights were inconspicuous in the crowd.

The guards collected the power stones, and let them into the city with a few words of warning.

Castlevania has opened a spatial door to the surface world, and more than a dozen surrounding city-states have already been rumored, and many knights have come to see it.

Legend has it that the surface world has day and night, the sun and moon give light to the earth, and there is no such thing as eternal darkness.

The people of all tribes were free to live and cultivate the land at will, and did not have to gather together to resist the various night demons.

Light and security.

These two words are the lifelong pursuit of all the natives of the underworld.

Therefore, even though Castlevania is notorious for its bloody brutality in the surrounding city-states, there are still a large number of knights and mercenary groups who want to visit the legendary overworld and see the sun.

"Expeditionary Force Recruitment Division." Reynolds muttered, pointing to the place where many people had gathered, "That's where the conscription is, let's go over." ”

When they followed, they saw a large wooden plank nailed to the city wall, on which was written a string of words that they did not recognize.

Herman whispered to Claire: "It's good that I don't know how to read, and the language is comprehensible, otherwise it will be exposed." ”

Claire covered her mouth and chuckled, and slapped the young man's arm with her hand, "Don't be poor, knights have the most pointed ears, be careful to be heard." ”

"Hey, hey."

Soon, Reynolds enlisted everyone in the name of a mercenary group that was then nonsense, and soon the soldiers of the city defense army led everyone to the barracks.

Soon, everyone was led to an open space in the east of the city, where hundreds of gray tents were set up, and the guard said: "This is the mercenary camp, and all the tents that have not been lowered are fine." Remember, there should be a minimum of 10 people in a tent, and the moss lizards can be placed outside the tent. When eating, the gong will be sounded, and it will come out when it is heard, otherwise it will not be outdated. In addition, the door of the space will be opened tomorrow, don't wander around, otherwise you will have to wait for another half a month if you miss this time. ”

After saying that, the guard left on his own.

Hawkins and Kelvin glanced at each other and found two adjoining tents to live in.

After entering the tent, the nervous knights were a little more relaxed, and Morey touched his bald head and wondered: "This is it?" With no wizards to watch and no army to patrol, aren't they worried about bad actors infiltrating the ranks? ”

Pilson shook his head and said, "Even if there are people with bad intentions, what can they do?" This is the nest of the hermitage, and when we go to Sagacony, they have no way out but to fight us. Except for the Knights, no one would want to destroy the Space Gate, so what else could Castlevania have to fear? ”

The team only needs to fight the enemy, but Hawkins and Kelvin have to worry about the overall situation, not only how to destroy the space gate, but also the problem of retreat must be solved as soon as possible.

Therefore, after ordering everyone to protect Claire, he left with Herman and went to find Kelvin.

After that, he never returned, but Pilson and the others were worried.
