The shouts were like sudden thunder in the darkness, rolling up layers of waves in the silent courtyard; the priest's shouts attracted the attention of at least two patrol teams, and the drow further away also turned their attention here.
, the bloodthirsty light revealed in the blood-red eyes is enough to make people shudder.
Xiao Fen was pushed into an embarrassing dilemma. He could not predict what would happen next or what actions the Drow priest would make. He could only stop there quietly and wait for the other party's final judgment.
.
Facts have proved that the unknown is the root of all fear. When a person cannot guess what kind of danger he will encounter next, he often does not hesitate to make the worst guess in his heart. Xiao Fen nervously watched Pastor Zhuoer lift the
With the snake whip in his hand, he always has the illusion that the whip will strangle his neck in a moment, and the time is passing by minute by second, but it seems extremely long.
Hidden in the corner, Maya, Fidlo and Feilaun each took off their weapons from the metal rings of their belts, and the battle seemed inevitable.
However, just when the two sides were at war with each other, a rustling sound came from the shadows in the corner of the yard. Although the sound was weak, in this deathly silence, it was enough to attract everyone present.
direct your attention in that direction.
Pastor Drow's eyes shifted and fell on a mouse crawling out of the corner. This small mammal can survive and reproduce in large numbers anywhere, so it will not be awkward to appear anywhere.
. His nerves relaxed for a moment. He just glanced at the mouse casually and said in a slightly mocking tone.
At this time, Xiao Fen was almost happy. He breathed a deep sigh of relief in his heart and praised all the gods whose names could be found in his mind. They were even more pious than the most fanatical believers. Of course, the mage also looked at those gods with doubts.
The mouse glanced at it. He couldn't believe that there were such coincidences in the world.
But the drow priest was more alert than the mage expected. Her eyes did not leave, still wandering between Xiao Fen and the corner; then she suddenly swung her whip in that direction - the shadow of the whip was almost touching
Xiao Fen's cheek grazed it and bounced to the wall near the corner with a pop.
The mage shuddered. There was almost enough magical power gathered between the pale and slender fingers under the black rolled sleeves, ready to fight back at any time. But his reason told him to calm down, at least don't let it get worse before the situation worsens to the worst.
It becomes even more difficult to deal with.
Soon Xiao Fen felt that he had made the right bet——
The dark elf swung the snake whip back with the same speed. She hesitated for a moment, and her blood-red eyes showed a hint of doubt, "Just a mouse?" The female priest nodded to herself, as if she agreed with this point of view.
What did you find?" At this time, another dark elf priest came closer with three temple warriors. This woman had a joking expression on her face, and her sarcastic tone seemed to be to deliberately anger the other party."
The priest named Tanasha said with some annoyance. Her intelligence is becoming more and more sensitive." The female drow added with a smile, "Are you sure it's a mouse? You have to be careful, there is no room for any mistakes here."
Tanasha snorted, but the other person's words made her vigilant again. She decided to check it carefully, so the female priest casually rolled up her whip and walked towards the corner - at this time Xiao Fen realized that she
Encountered new trouble. He noticed that he was exactly on the straight line between Tanasha and the corner; which meant that if nothing unexpected happened, the drow priest would soon collide with him.
The mage grinded his teeth and cast his cold gaze on the smiling drow woman. If sight could kill, the woman would definitely die miserably.
But the curse is useless. Tanasha will not stop because of the curse in Xiao Fen's heart; of course, magic is even more impossible. Let alone whether the magic fluctuation will attract the other party's attention, even a silent cast can change the current situation.
High-level spells in this situation are obviously unrealistic.
Xiao Fen stood there motionless like a stone elephant, watching in vain as Tanasha got closer and closer to him. It wasn't that he didn't want to find a way, but that in this situation, any way he could do would only make the other party worse.
I just discovered myself early.
He quietly pressed a spell scroll in his hand, preparing to attack first in the worst case scenario. The door was suddenly pushed open by two pairs of dark, slender hands; the sound of the door opening made Tanasha stop, and she turned around to stare.
He followed the person who walked out of the door - a dark elf woman wearing a high-level priest's robe. Two high-level temple warriors followed her carefully. It was obvious that the status of this drow priest was definitely not low.
At this moment, the female priest was less than ten steps away from Xiao Fen...
Xiao Fen held his breath. The crisp sound of the door opening almost made his heartbeat stop. But then a kind of ecstasy swept over him. This black-robed mage could swear to the gods that since he entered Jia
His mood has never experienced such huge fluctuations since the beginning of this world. What are you doing here?" Drow, who was wearing a high-level priest's robe, had a serious look on her face. She scanned the entire courtyard with her sharp eyes, "Don't waste it.
Don’t waste the time of the big sacrifice, let alone the goddess’s time, you will be taught a lesson!”
Tanasha and another drow woman buried their heads. For the first time, Xiao Fen saw the expression of fear and surrender on the face of this terrible underground people. That's it, the next step needs to be completed by the high priest himself. You two go
Please come here," the senior priest glanced at the corner where Feilaun was hiding, and hummed: "Ignore the few bedbugs. Do as I tell you, this is the will of the night."
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving only two high-level temple warriors behind her to gently close the door. Tanasha and Servi trembled visibly. They didn't even dare to stay any longer, and soon left the inner courtyard.
The other side retreated.
It was only then that Xiao Fen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, between the shadows that no one can notice, a pair of bright eyes blink gently...
On the upper floor of the castle, in Leborina's study——
Leborina squinted her eyes, and the crystal lighting cast one texture after another on her forehead. It looked like the already dense wrinkles had increased several times in an instant. The leader of drow society looked like he was in the underworld.
She wanted to pray, but the gentle beating at the tip of her eyebrows proved that she was not in the right state.
This was what bothered her. Although her power had not declined, she truly felt that it was difficult to obtain guidance from the goddess. To be more precise, she even had the illusion of being abandoned.
The high priest quickly shook his head and put aside this ridiculous idea. Maybe outsiders still don't know it, but she herself knows that the situation is still firmly in her hands. This is a sure-win game. "
"Kir," Leborina put her hand on her forehead, but did not open her eyes, "What's the situation now?" Jing. "Hiding in the dark." Under arrangement." The troops appeared at the secret passage.
, If you guessed correctly, it should be that woman and her men." Qi Erwei answered as briefly as possible.
Leborina raised her eyelids. Qi Er was well aware of the habits of the high priest, which meant that she was very concerned about this topic. Falcon people are very serious about fighting." Laughing. "Don't use the word "like", that woman is so
A little trick can't fool me...I don't know how she reached an agreement with Falcon's people, but this method is not worth mentioning in my eyes."
Qi'er lowered her head and wisely stopped talking. Just like the web weaved by a shrewd spider, it will only realize when all its prey fall into the web that the web she saw before was just a bait.
"The high priest touched his forehead with his fingers, as if he wanted to smooth out the wrinkles there. Here he comes. Very good, it seems that the preparations for the ceremony should be completed."
Leborina opened her eyes as she spoke. "It's time to leave, let that arrogant human see our
A gentle smile appeared on the high priest's face.
After some minor twists and turns in the inner courtyard, Xiao Fen and others moved more cautiously, which made it take them longer to reach the intended location. The secret passage Feilaun found was indeed very secretive. It was hidden in
In the winding passage behind a secret door, the entrance is covered by several statues. Others would never imagine that there can be winding paths after that; I believe that if it is not the original owner of the castle, or if there is no blueprint of the castle in hand.
It's hard for others to find here.
The last section of the secret passage went vertically downwards; Maya and Fidelo followed Feilaun and could only struggle to climb down through the geodesic gaps in the walls around the passage, but Xiao Fen achieved this effect more easily through some wizard tricks.
The drow was amazed by this, and this is the wonder of magic.
Then they descended to the bottom of the secret passage. The passage here seemed to be blocked. Feilaun took out a small amethyst for lighting. Only then did Xiao Fen notice that there was a badly decayed wooden door under his feet - and in this castle
Unlike other places, the decoration of this dilapidated wooden door inherits the simple style of humans, rather than the weird curves and reliefs of dark elves.
The door opened upwards. Fidelo pulled the buckle on the door and pulled it up easily. The door made a rattling sound when it was opened, and a lot of dust fell. Fortunately, it was far away from the ground.
No matter how loud you sound, no one will notice.
After the door was opened, Xiao Fen could see the scenery behind it through the light of the amethyst. It was different from the mage's imagination. There was not a bottomless abyss behind the door, but a small room. The walls of this room were made of whole blocks.
It is composed of natural rocks, and there are two gaps on the left and right walls that are only large enough for one person to pass through. En said from the side: "This secret passage is quite cleverly conceived. It combines artificial and natural factors. This is why it has not been used by drows.
The reason why it was discovered and blocked. "Road?" That's what the map says, and I'm not going to go in to verify it."
The mage glanced at the gap on the right and shrugged. "I don't have that plan either." As he said that, he half-buried himself and got into the passage on the left.
The gaps between the rocks are extremely narrow, and some places are covered with ferns. Various bugs crawl on the walls from time to time, especially the colorful ones. Just their appearance can make your hair stand on end.
.But this unpleasant and narrow passage was not too long. Soon they came to the outside of the castle, and the bottomless abyss like a black hole finally appeared at the feet of the four of them.
Feilaun was the first to stop. He pointed in a direction and said: "To our right is the direction of the secret passage. Look, I will give my people an instruction. They will bring your people here soon."
As he spoke, he took out the strange little animal he had seen before.
Xiao Fen watched the drow send out the message, and suddenly thought of something, "Let the first batch of people come stop outside the castle, the drow priest can sense them." The mage reminded in a low voice.
Feilaun nodded and sent the second message.
Just as Drow said, Snow's men quickly followed Falcon's men and flew over from the bottomless abyss below the castle. They flew so low that the Drow priest above could not detect them at all. For the sake of stealth action,
, there were only seven people in the first batch. Among them were two Falcon leaders and four of Xue's subordinates. In addition, what surprised Xiao Fen was that Xue also happened to be among these seven people.
Quiet snow floated in the air, she raised her head towards the direction of the secret passage, and the dark eye patch on her fair face looked a bit dazzling; the girl's world was dark, but she clearly knew that the person she loved was there.
Up there, she believed that he was also looking at her, so she had to respond to him - even if she couldn't see it at all.
Xiao Fen stared at Xue's pitch-black shirt and couldn't look away for a moment. Feilaun next to him observed the mage for a while, then smiled and said: "Is this your fiancée? Even because of our drow's aesthetic sense.
All I can say is: it’s beautiful.”
There is a saying that when God closes a door for you, he will open another window for you. For the same reason, the main system strengthens the hearing in the snow; with keen hearing, although the distance is not short,
Despite the distance, the female pastor still clearly captured this compliment, or the first half of the sentence. The girl, who was weak on the outside but strong on the inside, gently lowered her head. Two blushes appeared on her cheeks.
The drow's praise made the mage feel very useful. This is a common human vanity. Xiao Fen showed a friendly smile to Feilaun for the first time, and then blessed himself with the flying skill to float out of the secret passage. He came straight
He walked to Xue's side and asked.
The mage nodded, and then thought of something, and then gave a gentle greeting.
A gentle smile bloomed on the face of the female priest. Xiao Fen had seen this smile more than once in the past days. He realized that Xue was dispelling his worries, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. The black-robed mage pondered for a moment, and then
Did he change the topic on purpose?" Xiao Fen looked at the secret passage. The second group of people was about to arrive, and the spellcasters were blessing the third group of people with flying skills. They were good at it. "See you," Xue continued.
The mage smiled and said, "Xue's ability is not much worse than Yun Na's, but she can never compare to your gentleness." This sentence was more like flattery, but Xiao Fen said it from the bottom of his heart.
The girl smiled slightly and said nothing.
While the two were silent, the third group of people also arrived below the castle. At this time, the number of people floating outside the secret passage had reached about sixty, and the last and largest group in the distance were still blessing the flying spell.
The mage looked in that direction, and suddenly he raised his eyebrows. If you go too high, you will be discovered!"
The mage said in a deep voice, and at the same time he took out the underground communication bat, but it seemed to be a little too late - the shouts of drow came from the outer wall of the castle. Although Xiao Fen couldn't hear clearly what those guys were shouting, he could guess it.
