Kryptonite lord Section 988
"You can't control the Pope's actions, that's the safest way."
Ryan, "No one can be sure of his thoughts, and when everything is revealed, he doesn't need to continue to maintain a false face with hypocrisy."
As long as you don't declare your enemies with him, he's still a superficially benevolent pope. β
"Do not declare hostility, continue to maintain the ...... of apparent benevolence"
Paorien Lycogus was lost in thought at the same time.
For the time being, they do not need to declare their enemies with the Pope, it is enough to do so in private.
Just be careful, the object of the alliance cannot be the carrier of the Seed of Light.
Even if the Light-shrouded Lands were too presumptuous, they couldn't blatantly expose their secrets.
It's too hard.
Paorien and Lecurges were deep in thought at the same time.
Andrew looked ahead, a ghost wolf had returned to their vicinity, the blood demon in his mouth was bitten down by the ghost wolf and dragged away, like a puddle of mud and blood-red carrion dragged on the ground.
Bloodfiend is a wonderful race of night born from the sea of blood, or the battlefield of death, their appearance, skin, and flesh are like small demons incarnated by slimes, and their bodies are also covered with a layer of fluff, which can change form at any time during battle, and love to gnaw fresh corpses and blood.
The blood demon who was bitten back by the ghost wolf, his body has worn out a lot on the ground, only most of his upper body is left, and his hair is bleeding all over his body, and the most striking thing is a pair of eyes containing resentment and curse, like a pair of rubies wrapped in ghost fire.
"Dear Mr. Theseus, please be careful."
Paorion suppressed his emotions in his heart, and decided to solve the matter of the underground ruins first, looking at the half-cut blood demon on the ground who was caught by the ghost wolf and reminded in a loud voice, "The blood demon's combat ability and vitality are far from comparable, and in an environment that is not directly illuminated by the holy light, they will only die when the heart and blood dry up."
The most special thing is that the Blood Demon can parasitize into the alien body and share life as long as it comes into contact with blood. Not only that, but the curse in their eyes is also their most important talent. Eye contact with the Blood Fiend's eyes, susceptible to the resentment of death affecting the will. β
Beyond the light, the battle between the Ghost Wolf and the Blood Demon continues.
The ghost wolf is a kind of soul created and born from the corpse of a dead wolf-type demonic beast through a special secret method unique to werewolves, and has no flesh and blood.
These ten ghost wolves are all cultivated by Lacuges himself, and when summoned, they will inherit his own power, and their will is controlled by Lacugs, and they are the most hated enemies of the Blood Fiend.
The strength of Lycurges is far above this group of blood demons, even if the blood demons have the seed of light in their bodies, they are still suppressed and beaten by the ghost wolves.
Not only that, but the group of vampire bats created by Paorion with his talent are also the nemesis of the Blood Fiend.
Bloodseeker cannot parasitize vampire bats, and can be sucked into flesh while fighting ghost wolves.
The most powerful thing about the Bloodfiends is their life force, which can be revived as long as there is a drop of blood left in their hearts.
"Honorable hosts, not only is the vitality increased by the seeds of light, but these blood demons can also split into new individuals."
The system synchronously explained the peculiarities of this group of blood demons in Ryan's mind, and Ryan held the staff that hung the magic lamp and whispered, "The gift of the seed of light has made them more vigorous, giving them a little strength to fight......
Stumps that retain blood also split into new consciousnesses, and can expand the race in a bloody battlefield that is not dead, so it's no wonder that they were chosen by the Pope. β
Paorion looked up ahead, his vision through the light to see through the darkness, and saw that the limbs that had been bitten off by the ghost wolf were hiding in the hidden darkness and rapidly growing new bodies.
The Ghost Wolf seems to have knocked down many of the Bloodfiends, rendering them unable to move, but in fact the Vampire Bats summoned by Paorion are the ones that are actually more effective against the Bloodfiends.
"No wonder the Pope would let the Blood Demon guard this place and not hide his tracks, it turns out that this is the reason. Fortunately, there is your reminder to find out in time. β
Paorion frowned slightly, summoning more vampire bats to help the ghost wolf.
Lecurgus and Paorion know that normal Blood Fiends are all attacked by the ghost wolf's weaknesses, but without Ryan's reminder, the number of Blood Fiends will become even more in battle.
Lycurges changed his command to the Ghost Wolf to no longer scatter and kill Bloodseekers and work with the Vampire Bats.
After adjusting the attack, the number of Bloodfiends really decreased, and the ghost wolf spat out the half-cut of the Blood Demon whose throat was bitten to the ground, and easily ripped open his robe with his sharp fangs.
"I felt something wrong with my breath just now...... He doesn't have the signs of the night on him, these are not the Blood Fiends of Crossel. β
Lycogus looked away from the Blood Fiend's chest and looked ahead like an arrow.
The Ghost Wolf is under the control of Lycurgus, and while attacking, he looks for the Bloodfiend for an unmarked body.
When the Ghost Wolf cooperates with the Vampire Bats to attack, the number of Bloodfiends decreases rapidly.
A little of the lost blood was absorbed and swallowed by the ground, and the strange environment suddenly sounded in the underground with a rapid frequency.
Like the wail of the dead, mixed with the praise of angels, the music echoes on the boundless black stone wall.
The Bloodfiends collectively looked to the place where the music was heard and no longer entangled with vampires and ghost wolves, including creatures that hid in the shadows. When they realized that they couldn't break through Ryan's barrier and that their companions were meaninglessly consumed, they also quietly left with the blood demon in the music.
Paorion covered his ears, Lecurgus's eyes changed, and the ghost wolf and vampire bats stopped attacking at the sound of music, unable to stop the bloodfiend from leaving.
Unaffected by the music, Andrew scurried silently after receiving permission from Ryan in his head, chasing in the direction the Bloodfiend had left.
Ryan expands the area of the void and protects Paorion and Lecurgus from further damage from the music.
The sound couldn't penetrate the barrier, and Paorion and Lycurgus quickly returned to normal.
Lekugus is in a better situation, he is already in an environment blessed by the void. In addition to being a vampire, Paorien is also a magician of sound, and when he senses the sound of music and prepares to find the secret in the soundβ
In that moment, the sound Paorien heard hurt him as much as he did to roast a vampire in a sacred fire.
Fortunately, the void air surrounded him in time, so that Paorien was not really harmed, but his brain was a little dull due to the sound.
Paorien tightened the cloak on his shoulders to let the temperature relieve the muffled ringing in his head, controlled the vampire bat to chase after Andrew, and turned sideways to express his sincere gratitude to Ryan, "Thank you very much for your help, respected Mr. Theseus." β
Lycurges also saluted respectfully to Ryan, "Mr. Theseus, thank you very much for everything. β
Lekugus, who has a contractual connection with Paorion and shares consciousness, knows the gravity of the moment that he has not escaped.
Or were they a little too anxious, they didn't expect the underground to be so dangerous.
Paorion was protected by Ryan, and the bats were scattered at the same time as the sound, even the ghost wolves were affected.
Gratitude wasn't just lip service, they were also thinking about how much they should pay Ryan when they returned to land.
"Pay attention to safety, it should be a curse if the sound just now is not accidental."
Ryan flew forward with his staff in his hand, and whispered, "There are more secrets hidden underground than I thought, since you say that those blood demons are not from Crocel......
Moreover, he is not the only one who is plotting against Crossel. β
Lecurges summons the ghost wolf, and Paorion once again gathers vampire bats around his side, flying together to chase after Ryan.
"It's not just Crossel."
Lecurges looked up at the front, repeating in a continuous whisper, the glow of the magic lamp spreading as they flew, and there was no trace of Andrew and the Bloodfiend in his eyes.
The magic lamp spread into the distance, and the surrounding area was still a pitch-black rock, and in some places it even seemed to have been burned by the fire, leaving behind a pile of rotting and bubbling sludge.
There are no plants underground, and the wind spreads from all sides.
The entrance when they came has disappeared for some time, and the only way to leave is to return to the ground through scrolls or props.
Paorien didn't dare to listen to the voice rashly, his eyes looked ahead, and he asked in a puzzled and cautious whisper, "Dear Mr. Theseus, did you and Mr. Renault discover any important news just now?"
Aside from the Blood Fiends, and some alien races and monsters hiding in the dark, I didn't find any more useful clues. β
"Me too, it feels more and more dangerous here."
Lycurgus nodded in agreement, his eyes deep in thought, "Besides, I only vaguely perceive that there seem to be many entrances here, not just those non-Crocel Blood Demons just now.
Creatures that hide in the darkness, and possibly the Night Race from some unexpected land.
Or not all the Night Race. β
More than these, what made Lekugus more concerned was that "Mr. Theseus, I don't know if I can know, you just said more than just Crossel...... What exactly does this mean? β
Ryan accelerated his flight to catch up with Andrew, and looked slightly sideways at Lecurges.
The space underground was spacious enough that there was nothing other than darkness that would hinder their progress.
Paorion added in a low voice, "Mr. Theseus, everything you have helped us in the underground, we will give you the right amount of gold when we return to the ground. β
Ryan: "It's too much to ask for help from the Mystery Merchant, and it's not going to be cheap." β
Paorion's voice was a little more restrained than before, "We will carefully prepare the amount of gold or treasure that you will be satisfied with. β
The situation underground is too complicated, much more serious than they thought, and there will be no shortage of places to ask Ryan for help.
It's too simple to give money separately and take it out all at once......
They were in too much of a hurry to go underground, and they didn't know that the Pope's ambitions were so dangerous, and they didn't carry too many gold coins with them.
There are not many gold coins in hand, and after giving the meeting gift, there are only 100,000 left.
Fearing that Ryan would be disliked too little felt humiliating, after all, in the current situation, they might ask Ryan for help in many places if they were in danger before entering the ancient ruins.
Ryan didn't know what they were thinking at the moment, and when he heard Paorion say this, his heart was slightly satisfied, "There are too many restrictions on the night and the dark race here, and if a powerful enough light mage comes here, the situation may be a little better than yours." β
Paorien: "Do you need to contact Padraic now?" β
By the way, bring him some gold coins underground.
"No, his coming will only make the situation more dangerous, and the weak light will attract more darkness."
Ryan whispered indifferently, "I've been to the City of Light once, and I already had a strange feeling. And I've noticed that the underground of the City of Light seems to be hiding the same prison, but the environment is slightly better than that of Crocel.
Now that I think about it, the City of Light where the lord was captured may be the same as Crocel, a lair used by the Pope to cultivate sacrifices and containers. β
The plan to imprison the angels was not Padrak, he wasn't the Lord of the City of Light at the time, but Padraic definitely knew about the underground prisons.
Paorion suddenly felt a chill in his back, he knew that there were prisons under the City of Light, and he knew what those prisons were used for.
Lacuges' mood wasn't too good either.
His main city has been called a 'lair', and even the underground prison of the City of Light may also be used by the Pope. Or the idea of creating a prison in the first place, which the Pope carried out through the nobles, the captured city lords.
The Pope watched greedily in the dark, ignoring all the efforts they had made to grow, patiently waiting for the final harvest.
Paorien took a series of deep breaths before responding, "I'll tell Padraic about these dangers...... It's not just him, we're going to clean up Crosell thoroughly. We'll work with our allies to clear the main city of danger as quickly as possible, and if you run into unsolvable danger, please be willing to help me and Padraic. β
Lekugus nodded vigorously, "Dear Mr. Theseus, the situation in Crossel and the City of Light is too serious, and we will definitely need your help at a time." β
Ryan's voice was like the wind, "Good luck to you...... If you really need help, you can contact Michelle through the prince of the Fire City, and he knows how to find me.
Most of the time I'm in the Void, there's a friend whose dungeon is about to be built, and I need to get some special merchandise for him, and Michelle has more than I can do. β
The two vests alternate and are perfect.
Paorien asked curiously, "Dear Mr. Theseus, can we also go to your friend's dungeon then?" β
"The dungeon will be open for trading." Ryan, "I'm not sure Michelle, if he gave the invitation to the prince of the City of Fire. β
For the sake of gold coins, the more guests the better.
While the gold earned is enough to unlock memories, who would dislike having too many coins that can be used to buy artifacts!
