Chapter 718: The King, the Bishop, and the Knight

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

It's a huge space there.

Aside from a dozen or so of the large columns of rock that have survived the vicissitudes of time, there is hardly any interior feature to be seen here, and the flat stone floor stretches out into the darkness over a vast area that cannot even be compared to the square on Romanti Central Street. It's just that in the huge space, there doesn't seem to be any breath of life, only the sporadic fluorescence attached to some raised stones, barely outlining the traces of cyan rocks.

And it seemed that in the darkness with a little firefly, a cold breath was writhing, and soon swam out of the door. Climb on everyone's hands and feet. Slowly seeps into the skin under the clothes. Greedily plunders every bit of human body temperature.

Even in a single breath, everyone noticed that the breath they exhaled formed into strands of hoarfrost in the air.

"This ......," the mage let out a low whisper, and stopped.

"It's not the same place as the last time I entered......"

Noticing Edward's puzzled gaze, she shook her head, "I, the last time I entered, this was a hall, and I could still see the view outside the hall, but now it's ...... Or did I pronounce the wrong password? But here's the password, I only know the one who entered here, but I can't guarantee that it will work, and it's probably changed. ”

"Be more detailed. ”

"Yes, that, this is the only path to the city and the center that we have discovered so far. ”

The mage trembled in response, and hurriedly bowed to Edward, the pain of her fingers being broken one by one. It has been imprinted in her heart, hence the question of the Psychic Warlock. Her answers were swift and unthinking: "But in fact, it is not right to say that it is the only one, because this place is called the Hall of the Forsaken, which is a barrier that separates the outer layer of the entire city center, and only through guò can you reach the center of the city, and according to the conclusion of the first group of people, it is possible that its full appearance is a large solidified labyrinth, which is composed of many small half-planes, but at present, this circle has been destroyed, leaving only a few golems guarding the innermost layer that can still function." Want to get in. Just provide the right instructions. But now...... I've been here a few times, but I didn't come by myself, and this is the only code word I know, and if this maze has been repaired a bit, then we may be trapped and locked inside, and we may have to face the final golem......"

Golem?

The massive golems are usually not dangerous, although most of them are incredibly large and powerful. But trying to drive them also comes at a higher cost. Usually the core uses earth elements with low intelligence, or dozens of crazy souls mixed together, which can only give them extremely low thinking ability and completely according to a little residual instinct of combat methods, even through the legendary construction awakening can not change this essence, if it is not for the precise command of the mage, they would not be able to become any powerful opponents, but how many people can control such a scale of things outside the body in front of them like fingers?

"It's not just any golem...... Excellency. It is a giant battle golem. ”

The female mage stared at him tremblingly, but seemed to have guessed some of his thoughts: "It is an extraordinarily strong, tall ancient magic treasure, a weapon of war that even a few hundred mages can hardly match together, if it weren't for their dead master." His Excellency was not so easy to restore the two huge magic statues, so. I build yì you...... This, if there is no special matter, it is better not to enter the house and wait until you gather enough strength to ......"

Although he and Edward are friends and foes, this construction is actually quite pertinent.

The labyrinth is an eight-ring spell, powerful, but not well-known, the reason for this is only because it lacks attack power, at most it can only play the role of a trapping enemy, but if it is connected with the half-plane, then the effect is not easy to say.

But that's for the average person.

Before she could finish speaking, a force had already made a loud crackling sound on her plump buttocks, so the woman suddenly let out a reflexive scream and involuntarily rushed forward two steps, but by the time she reacted in shock, the surrounding scenery had suddenly changed!

"Don't ......"

The mage screamed again, turned and ran, but after running a few steps, it was still a desperate darkness in front of her - the door that had been open in that direction had disappeared without a trace, and she chanted the incantation that opened the passage several times in a panic, and there was no response!

"This ...... It's over, it's over......"

The terrible reality seemed to destroy her sanity in an instant, and she took a few steps back in despair, muttering to herself, shaking like chaff. Then he stumbled as if he had tripped over something, and fell straight to the ground!

It's just an ordinary action, but it makes the surrounding magic net suddenly stir!

Two bolts of lightning erupted from a hidden corner, behind a stone pillar, and somewhere on the zenith, rushing towards her like a band of light, and the light stone was so dazzling that in an instant, the entire dark hall was illuminated by this luster!

Faced with the fastest spell, the female mage was left with the only option to close her eyes and wait for death, but when she closed her eyes and waited for a few breaths, the imaginary burning pain did not come. A few feet away from his gaze, a slender holy sword shimmered with a bright but unscorching luster, and countless subtle lightning flashed on the blade, and with a slight flick of the blade, it disappeared into the air.

Gazing upwards along the edge of the sword, the female mage tried to make a thanksgiving, but in her gaze, the woman's almost sculptural and perfect appearance radiated a brilliant luster, but it was so perfect that mortals forgot to breathe for a moment.

"Trouble place,"

Unlike the sluggish mortals, the Psychic Warlock gave Ariel an unhappy look...... Keeping this blazing god could have been used as half a hole card, if you were to face Thomas. The damage caused by a powerful boost that comes suddenly is self-evident, and there is often no room for surprise in the exchange between spellcasters......

But. Now that qiē has vanished because of a decoy that had once been the enemy's decoy.

Edward shook his head, no longer thinking about what had been lost.

The space around him, one by one, swept through his thoughts, and the god of space was giving it a powerful perception of space, standing still in place, he seemed to be able to perceive the shape of the space that overlapped and squeezed together, and several large and small half-planes were connected together. The exhibition is arranged in the center of them.

It feels very strange and indescribable, standing still in it, and the space in front of you is up and down, left and right, and even inside. Or is it outside......

It took a few breaths before he opened his eyes.

It's not that we've found the right path, but in the distance, the melodious sound of wind chimes is getting closer.

In the darkness, two small clusters of faint and shiny white light appeared in the distance. Float in the air. The blinking blue and white light of the ghostly fire gradually outlined the pale shadow, and the flame gradually transformed into a clear and shining crystal...... Inside, there seemed to be two intertwined circles of light, but in Edward's vision, the swimming gray sheen outlined a creature of extremely fine creation.

"Come here. Tell us what you are all about. Otherwise, they are my enemies. ”

The sound of light tapping is stagnant. Then, there was an indifferent metallic voice.

When everyone turned their eyes, the two lights in the darkness had turned into one face.

A bluish-white halo, burning in the smooth eye sockets, reflected the strange face, the high arch of the eyebrows and the bridge of the nose constructing the delicate and deep contours of the face, the head combed back, bound by a high, simple crown Duan Zhengdi—only this qiē was made of silver-gray metal. Tiny cracks and pieces of metal spread all over the face that could be moved, and in a wonderful way, subtle sliding and expanding, they added something called expression to the metallic face.

Like frowning.

"So, make a choice, do you want to have a battle with me, get glory, or give up your life?" he said, sweeping the three of them with a burning gaze in the blue and white crystal...... The stiff mouth didn't move, but it could come out of its throat with that crisp crashing sound, like the rhythm of a music box, and the aftermath of striking a brass bell curled and then led to a brief silence...... It wasn't until he landed on the ground with a thud that everyone noticed that he had been floating until now.

The close distance made his figure clearer. A robe of various patterns, but if you look closely, you can see that it is not a robe, but its body—metal strips and pieces are bent to form a fabric that merges with itself, like a statue, but it is alive.

"You...... Construct!" the female mage shouted in panic, as if she had just woken up from a dream. Then the wolf bèi used his hands and feet together, and fled behind Ariel: "Activate the golem, no, it's a constructing creature...... she shouted like a "shenyin".

"Chaturan?" Compared to her panic, the other two remained calm, and the Psychic Warlock raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke softly, "It's really rare. ”

"You know us? good, good......"

This word made the constructor slightly stunned, but then there was a burst of laughter, which seemed to reach people's hearts, rolling like thunder, shaking people's faces. But among the three people who listened to this voice, two of them didn't have anything to do at all, only the plump mage lady snorted, and two bright red lines flowed out of her nose!

A flash of gold. Loud!

It seemed that after the whole space trembled for a moment, Ariel's cross sword had already drawn a brilliant golden band of light in the air, spanning a distance of more than ten feet, and swept straight over the shoulder and neck of the constructor!

It was a scepter-shaped hammer of size, and the light on it that shone with arcane energy was so dazzling that Edward had to turn his head slightly and blink. The tentacles of thought rolled, dissipating the cacophony of the surrounding sounds.

"Great power, however. In this place, thy power. Useless. ”

The second voice, accompanied by a slight tremor on the ground, entered the people's bodies, but if the first sound seemed to be striking metal, then this sound was rubbing—the end of every word had a sharp tail like a friction saw blade: "Here, for, we, the Promised Land." One qiē rule, for us to do!"

The speaker also appeared in the darkness, with a faint blue, metallic cold light—

Only unlike the first robe-like elaborate creation, his body was a true body of steel—a samurai wrapped in heavy full-body plate armor, to be exact. Even the horses under his seat were the same as he was. Covered from head to toe, the horse's head was completely obscured by a full-face helmet, and only the gap in the mask could be seen as if two dark flames were burning behind the slit in the mask.

Elaborate heavy shields and spears were hung on either side of the mount. The black man and the mount carried a silent and cold killing intent, even if it was just a glance at it, as if they would be cut by the invisible killing intent.

The same is Chatulan.

"This is the Hall of the Forsaken, and the building has four doors. It represents four routes, as well as four treasures. ”

This is the third voice.

Bright, cold, with a hint of metallic sonority, and its owner seemed perhaps more gentle - the creature with a tall hat. He wore a long robe, and his long beard hung down from his chin. makes his solemn countenance somewhat dark...... But like his two companions, the qiē was also made of metal, and he held a long wand in his hand, the end of which made a tinkling crunch with his footsteps, except that the other end of the staff contained not a gem or a crystal, but a golden piece with the tip of a spear axe.

"My Majesty, we must wait for their choice, which is the natural power that the Master has bestowed upon every visitor. Emerging from the darkness, he bowed slightly to Chatulan, who was wearing the crown, and then turned to the three men: "If you want to leave here, all you have to do is to choose one of us from among us, and each of you will test yourself in a battle, and through our test, you will get the corresponding thing in the city, which is the command of the master." ”。

"Who is your master?" asked Edward.

Although the Psychic Warlock could roughly deduce that his group had probably stumbled upon some unopened secret place in the ruins, he could not guarantee this...... If this was a trap, he could only forcibly tear open the space here and lead Ariel out of this dangerous place, but it is conceivable that the so-called secrecy was destroyed with a qiē arrangement.

"The name of the master should not be known to outsiders. Like an old man, Chatulan spoke, "But the master already knows the meaning of your coming. As explorers, you can be rewarded, but only if you have to pay a price, and that price is fighting. ”

That is, it is necessary to fight, but not by direct force?

"What methods are you going to use to fight?" Obviously, the Blazing Celestial Priest didn't intend to waste much time compared to the humans who liked to guess the real human from the words given to the other party: "Weapon fighting, or whatever?"

"Neither, we have our way. ”

Chatulan, who was holding the long sword, swung his scepter upwards and pushed away the blade of the Blazing Divine Servant: "You can choose from several methods we like, but it does not contain violence, because the purpose of the master to establish this place is to receive mages, and only mages who are smart enough can get the final victory." ”

He opened his hand, and the squares unfolded in the space in front of him.

Those are all chessboards...... From relatively simple to more complex, the number of chess pieces is also very different, and the most exaggerated one is densely arranged with nearly 100 chess pieces!

It's said to be a choice, but what's so good about it?

Similar biological characteristics will always create a similar cultural base, so this world naturally has pastimes such as chess, but Edward has never studied the bayonet, even the simplest of those chessboards, he can't name it, let alone compete with it.

"That...... Thomas also defeated you to go in?"

"One day not long ago, the first guest in a thousand years visited the place, he explored the place, passed the Hall of the Forsaken and won the battle against the two animated formations, and thus he gained a small part of the power in the city. ”

The king of Chaturani spoke, his voice melodious, but always with a high majesty: "The easiest path he has chosen, so he can only enter the undefended places in the middle of the city. ”

"That thing, it's just a piece of waste. Bishop Chaturani sneered, more like the scraping of a blade than usual: "The master will not get more Chatulani to fill them here temporarily, but now it seems that they are not up to the task at all, and they have been defeated in a mere hourglass scale." ,”
