"Oh, so do you have a guy named Billy Herrington there?"
Casually responding to the dwarf, Edward shifted his gaze to the wall beside him, where the blurred rock sculptures made him feel a little emotional...... Compared to a world that has been covered with human footprints, and even the deepest trenches are under human cameras, this world is undoubtedly a paradise for adventurers...... The change of civilization has scattered countless such ancient cities on the earth, and the fault line of time has become a chaotic legend that circulates in almost every corner, and there are some myths and legends in almost every corner, which are interconnected and contradictory to each other, making it difficult for people to distinguish the true from the false. (The text was first published in the reading cabinet biquge.info aroused their endless imagination and curiosity.
Or. It is also a pleasure to travel to all corners of the world, to visit the deepest traces, to unravel those ancient secrets, to write long travelogues, and to testify their wonders with your own eyes.
Still, it clearly takes strength. At the very least, I want to make sure that I can move through those mysterious spaces without hindrance. Otherwise, the so-called expedition is destined to become a journey in the midst of unknown dangers β either a decaying corpse or a ghost bound in the hands of some evil being...... Or it is possible that everything from body to soul will be eaten up as food.
Even more likely.
Turn your gaze back to the front. Edward inexplicably felt that his heartbeat had become much faster than usual,
The underground tunnels stretch forward in a quiet environment, and although the sound of adventurers' footsteps and conversations will cause clear echoes forward, they will also quickly disappear into the endless darkness and dead silence, making people feel even more eerie. In fact, with the exception of the heartless dwarf who uttered a word or two from time to time about the quirks of his people, the whole team had fallen into a kind of silence, as if assimilated by the silence around them.
In the inns and fireplaces of the towns and cities of the continent, the faces of poets and sages are reflected in the warm bonfires, and they tell the stories that have been passed down across the continent in countless exaggerated descriptions of the terrifying monsters that live in the dark underground, and are said to be able to silently take human life. There are even those who firmly believe that in the deepest part of the earth is the evil plane that connects to the bottomless abyss, the home of all demons. And those creatures that live deep underground are more or less related to demons.
Even those with a good reputation...... Gnomes, dwarves and the like, can also be corrupted by darkness, giving birth to evil subspecies like underground gnomes and gray dwarves, not to mention those like Drow who already have an evil god that is not much different from demons.
Or maybe the mercenaries on weekdays just make a noise and laugh off these stories. But it's really in the darkness and quiet. When I watched around in fear as I watched a small light source, the legends I had heard in the past seemed to emerge from the depths of my memory, and I took possession of people's hearts along with fear.
Of course, as a different person, Edward would not fully believe in the horror rumors that had been fabricated and imagined, but going underground was still a headache, and even having a few powerful beings around him would not give him much more certainty - this kind of dark place was not a place for humans to set foot in. The dangers can take more form than you can imagine.
β...... Can you be quiet? Do you want to tell the other side to prepare to attack us?"
Unlike Edward, the paladin seemed to be unable to endure the loud-mouthed man's wacky jokes, but even anger couldn't hide the slightest tremor in his voiceβit was clear that even the servants of the gods were not fearless, especially in this place where the sun was destined to be inaccessible.
"Relax, little ghost. Don't you know we're in? If you don't, those black skins are really shit......
The dwarf turned his head with a big grin, glanced at the companion, and then squeezed out a sneer from between his teeth: "There are so many people, and there is no hidden magic, just the footsteps, and the friction of some people's armor, it is enough to scare people to death, if those few black skins have accomplices below, the preparations they want to do have already been made, and they still need to wait?"
"Are they going to do nothing and just walk over there?" the paladin paused, apparently suppressing his anger - after all, when it comes to the underground, this guy in front of him is an expert. Nor is he experienced enough to refute it.
"You guys...... Didn't the mage say that this is a lost dungeon? The dwarf obviously had his own set of theories, and he casually stomped on the stone slab under his feet, "Although those black heads like to set traps, but this is not their territory, this kind of stone road without bends is what you humans like, but for them, it is useless except that it will limit their movement and make them unable to ambush, and those who like to sneak up are very afraid of death." That's why they're not going to do anything here, at least until it's a little bigger. β
"It's not easy to set up traps on this kind of ground, and if it's something like falling rocks that are launched from a distance, it might be effective. But we're downward. Edward responded,
"When it comes to those black skins, I think it's a little weird too. The dwarf shook his head and cast his gaze on the darkness ahead: "Normally, although they sometimes get some big-headed monsters, well, you call ogre things to do some hard work that ordinary slaves can't do, but they have a knack for domesticating them, and usually they will bring them saddles or something...... In fact, the most abnormal thing is that there is no queen among them at all. β
"Queen?"
"It's their priest, the mother spider spirits of Rose. The dwarf wiped his beard: "You know, except for those unlucky people who have been expelled from the family, the blackskins rarely act alone, and once they are gathered, there will be those women inside, they are both spellcasters during battle, and they can keep an eye on these guys, so that there will be no desertion, or needless cannibalism, if they have the same purpose as us, this ancient city, then it should be as simple as one or two small teams." And they don't have to send people to it. If there is no city, or it can be said that they are just going to the surface for trials......"
