When the rough hour hand streaked across the long black area and finally pointed to the white box, all the weak people in Riverlake Town let out a long breath.

The monstrous and terrifying law of the night has finally come to an end temporarily.

The empty streets began to be crowded, and last night's bloody battle had been handled by the lizardmen very cleanly, leaving no trace except for the crimson floor and the occasional smell of burning.

If they weren't familiar with the laws of River and Lake Town, the rest of the people would probably think that nothing happened last night.

But the lizardmen's victory still surprised them.

Some of the small forces that were originally ready to wait for the opportunity to move suddenly ran out of ideas, and the major forces could smell a hint of the wind and clouds from it.

Originally, as one of the three major forces in Hehu Town, the Holts had already faintly shown a hint of decay.

And the rise of the lizardmen seems unstoppable—at least, in the Black Tower.

"Congratulations, Mr. Van Daner. A black elf woman smiled and said, "From now on, you will be one of the twelve members of the Black Tower Council, and you will enjoy the same treatment and power as everyone here, and the status of the lizardmen in River Lake Town will be greatly improved as a result." ”

Van Daner hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Ms. Prologs, I am very honored to be a member of the Black Tower, and I hope that I can live in harmony with everyone in the future and make River Lake Town more powerful." ”

With that, he sat down slowly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

Of the eleven people here. Although the other three black elves did not express as much enthusiasm as Pross, they still smiled slightly at Van Dane. The Black Elves and the Holts are at odds, they are happy to see the Holts weakened - in any form, while the four representatives of the Grey Dwarves are aloof, ostensibly concerned only with the market for the rune grenades they make, when in fact they welcome more races than anyone else to join the fight in River-Lake - like all arms dealers, they love chaos, and sometimes they don't mind creating some chaos, as long as it doesn't hurt their interests.

And the three people left. The look in Van Dane's eyes was very hostile. All three are representatives of the Holts.

From within the Holts. They didn't like the former councillor - the guy who betrayed the interests of the Holts as a whole because of a notebook - nor did they like Jonah, who might become the new councillor, whose ambitions were blatant and presumptuous, but it was all from the inside.

And in general, both the former councillor and Jonah. The location is all Holt. There are four of them. Together, they can work for the greater good of the Holts in River and Lake Town.

But now. This cake that originally belonged to them was intervened by the lizardmen, and a quarter of it was taken away, such a direct conflict of interest. It's hard for them to give the lizardmen a good look.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Today it seems to be Mr. Karen's turn to preside over the Parliament. "The Black Elf female Pross seems to be particularly active.

She saw that the atmosphere in the Black Tower was a little dull, so she took the initiative to prompt.

Cullen is a grey dwarf, like his distant cousin in Blackcastle, he has a long gray beard and speaks in a rough voice.

"I'm not good at chairing meetings, so after announcing the agenda for a while, if you want to do it, feel free. ”

Cullen said rudely, "Anyway, every five years by this time, some people die, don't they?"

Another black elf councilwoman said with a smile: "But it seems that there are a lot of people who have died this year. ”

"Do you want to fight?!" a Holt councilor slammed his fist into the table, shattering the granite table with a single punch.

"It's an honor to have a fight with Mr. Davis. The Black Elf Councillor laughed and said, "But it used to be four against four, but now it's five against three, are you sure you still want to fight?"

The squeeze in the Black Elf's tone couldn't have been more obvious.

Originally, the Black Elves and Holts in the Black Tower Council were all four councilors, but now that the Holts have one less and one more lizardman who has been supported by the Black Elves, the situation is naturally different.

The gray dwarves were silent, but Cullen glanced at Davis, took out a worn-out notebook, and wrote a few strokes seriously:

"This is the ninth time that Mr. Davis has done so this year. The cost of repairs is still the same as before, and it will be deducted from your contribution points, right?"

Davis trembled with anger, but finally nodded heavily.

His companions signaled him to calm down. The situation was unusual, and they couldn't offend the grey dwarves after offending the black elves.

Cullen smiled with satisfaction and pushed his glasses, "Let's take care of this maintenance task by our gray dwarf's [Little Thumb Maintenance Team]." ”

Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes in their hearts, the gray dwarf was so easy to calculate.

GLP smiled and said, "Mr. Cullen, it seems that you are not even going to preside over today's meeting in order to make such a small profit......

Cullen coughed, suddenly closed the notebook, and said sternly:

"The topic of today's meeting is very strict. ”

"That's the time to open the Iron Labyrinth about Master William, the Master of Dark Constructs, and it's approaching!"

......

"That's the specifics of that secret you told me yesterday?"

Outside of River-Lake Town, in a low courtyard, Lance was intently reading a history book that had nothing to do with witchcraft.

This book probably records some of the stories of the establishment of River and Lake Town.

The stories were wonderful, but the inhabitants of River-Lake itself were probably not interested in these things, and Lance read through them and got a general idea of how the city would develop.

Chaos and order spiraled forward, this strange way of development of both primitive and barbaric and advanced civilization, has kept Hehu Town standing.

You know, the Underground World is never a safe place, and the Bain River itself is a place of abundant resources - in the Underworld, abundance of resources is basically synonymous with danger.

Lance learns from the book that a large number of monsters are pouring out of the Bain River at all times. Every year, there are also a variety of large and small Bain River monsters attacking River-Lake Town.

The monsters in the Bain River are powerful and numerous, which requires the races in River-Lake Town to unite in order to withstand the monsters' attacks.

But the harsh living conditions of the races in the city, which were rife with contradictions - and of course for the sake of resources - forced the original city builders to devise a system of day and night laws.

According to the book, the first generation of Black Tower Councilors negotiated an agreement to strictly enforce the law of the sun in River Lake Town during the monster siege phase.

And at that time, the large clock on the obelisk will also turn white all over.

It sounds beautiful - but in fact, history tells us that during the monster siege phase, although the law of the sun is enforced in the city, the number of people who die is hundreds of times the usual!

When Van Daner rushed over from the Black Tower and told Lance the news that the [Steel Labyrinth] was about to open, he saw it with relish.

In the surface world, there is no such interesting but bloody story.

In Lance's view, almost every page of River-Lake Town's history is written in blood. Even the white paper smelled amazingly fishy.

"Huh, don't you have an interest in the Steel Labyrinth?" Van Daner looked at Lance with some curiosity.

In his opinion, the Holt in front of him was too mysterious. He actually held Marlowe's token in his hand, and his skills were so strong that he could cast such a powerful spell in River Lake Town, which he couldn't see.

Lance stretched his waist a little lazily, pointed to the book in his hand and said, "No, on the contrary, I'm very interested, so I'm reading the book." ”

Van Daner followed his finger and looked over, only to see that the next section of the book gave a general introduction to the existence of the dark secret realm.

But this book is only a rough description of the dark secrets, and they are all unreliable speculations.

Van Daner read it and immediately laughed: "If you want to find out anything from this book, then you're wrong! I learned more about the secrets of Master William's Dark Constructed Nation from the meeting of the Black Tower today! If you are interested, I am very willing to share it with you." ”

Lance bowed slightly, looked at Van Dane, and motioned for him to continue.

Van Daner cleared his throat and said mysteriously:

"The information that most people know about the Dark Secret Realm is basically the history of River Lake Town in your hand, but in fact, the description of the Dark Secret Realm is very inaccurate. The Dark Constructed Nation is opened once every five years, and in the days it opens, many blood-red keys will float out of the sky of River-Lake Town for no reason! That's what the book says, right?"

Lance nodded.

Van Daner smiled: "How could a blood-red key suddenly fly out of the sky?" Mr. Lance, what I said next is very confidential information in River Lake Town, please don't leak it everywhere. ”

Lance shrugged: "Don't worry, I don't know many people in River Lake Town. ”

Van Daner was relieved and said in a low voice:

"Actually, those keys flew out from under the base of the obelisk! It's just that because the obelisk and the big clock are controlled by the three major forces, only a very few people can know about it!"

"And the entrance to the Iron Labyrinth, the land of dark construction, is also at the foot of the obelisk!"

"Only those who get the Scarlet Key will have a chance to enter the Iron Labyrinth. ”

"But in the steel labyrinth, it is said that every step is a crisis. But all the wizards who enter it have a very high mortality rate. ”

"There are three types of constructs in the labyrinth, namely active aggressive constructs - Type A, passive aggressive constructs - P type, and the third type, intelligent constructs - Type I ......" (to be continued......
