"Yin Lilin led the team to explore the Lost City of Earth. After being blocked by Lolth followers and the Minotaur, they encountered a projection from Halaster."
"The projection revealed that Hellast was attacked by someone of unknown origin and has been imprisoned in an unknown place in the Lost City of Earth."
"The power of the seal has prohibited all contact between him and the outside world. Now the barrier effect of Earthline Maze has been weakened."
"The projection hopes that Yin Lilin can find his place of imprisonment as soon as possible to prevent the weakening of the barrier from causing a greater disaster."
"However, Yin Lilin did not rush in. She led her team back to the temple and notified me..."
"From the current point of view, the attack on Halaster should be related to the assassinations that occurred in Waterdeep City in recent days. Both of them involved the appearance of followers of Rose. However, it is not yet certain.
Where do the followers of Rose come from..."
While Kui Lu was introducing quickly, she also showed a slight hesitation.
Let’s not talk about the Spider Queen’s priestesses. Are there any of them who can imprison Halaster?
Even if some people join forces, they can achieve this step, but...
The current Spider Queen is still in silence!
Her priestesses, who couldn't even get a response from her at this time, how could they join forces to seal and imprison Halaster?
There is something strange about it, and Kui Lu cannot help but be suspicious.
Yin Lilin returned to the temple directly without saying a word and reported to her. This also meant that she sensed something was wrong.
The Dark Maiden's Corridor has always been an enemy of the Spider Queen's minions, but it never lacks these vigilances.
"A projection of Halaster?"
"Are you sure it's really his projection?"
Isaac was also moved in his heart.
He knew that Hellast's projections were much more powerful than the invention of "projection".
It doesn't even need a direct effect line connection to be able to cast spells.
This is almost similar to a "simulacra", and even has a bit of a doppelganger meaning.
Since such a projection can convey information to Kui Lu's subordinates, why can't it directly send text messages to Kelben, Laila and others for help?
Of course, Isaac did not really deny this information.
After all, the projection also said that after Halast was sealed and imprisoned, he had cut off all contact with the outside world. This restriction is not impossible, and it will cause the projection to be unable to cast spells, and then it can only hide.
, wait for changes outside, and then send out information.
"Yin Lilin cannot recognize it."
"After the encounter, the projection quickly disappeared."
Kui Lu shook her head slightly.
Although Yin Lilin is also one of the high priests of the temple, she is still some distance away from the legendary level. It is still not absolutely certain whether the projection is really related to Hellast.
but……
After only a brief pause, Kui Lu continued: "However, in the middle area of the Sargus layer, she found the camp of the Spider Queen's minions. In addition, in the same middle area, controlled by these minions, there is also a Minotaur.
Tribe, driving the Formian ants.
Originally, this Formian ant tribe should be the subordinates of Hellast, but now they are driven by them. This is probably because the queen is under their control.
Perhaps, we can find out the details of this Formian ant clan and these spider queen minions, and also find out the current situation of Hyrast..."
Formian ants are probably controlled by Hellast to carry out underground excavation works.
However, these races native to the mechanical realm of the outer plane are not easy to mess with.
The queen of every Formian ant colony has at least the spellcasting ability of a level 17 warlock and can cast level eight magic.
Those with racial advancement or warlock professional advancement have the possibility of mastering ninth-level or even legendary spells.
Only Halaster can control such a creature to dig tunnels.
Now, if even a mere minotaur can drive them...
Just as Kui Lu said, this should be the Queen Fermi ant being controlled, so these Fermi ants can be so obedient!
With the magical ability of the Queen Ant, those who can control it will naturally not have ordinary power.
As long as he is rescued, it is possible to know the general situation of the person on the other side.
In addition, since there is a drow camp over there, this is even more straightforward.
As long as he can capture this camp, with his magic ability, it would be easy to make them reveal the truth. At least, reveal that they know the truth!
After pondering in his heart for a moment, Isaac didn't think too much and nodded directly: "I'll follow your wishes. Let's go see what's going on with this old guy, Halaster!"
He was actually not worried about Halaster's safety.
Based on his long-standing speculation, as long as Leyline Maze City remains, Halaster will never be completely killed.
As for whether someone sealed and imprisoned Helast, or whether Helast was doing something himself...
Not to mention this trip, Kui Lu also joined forces with him. Even if he was alone, he still had enough confidence to advance and retreat even when he was on guard!
After quickly completing the agreement, the two first handed little Anasia to the care of Ms. Crystal, and then Kui Lu cast a spell and teleported directly to the temple.
The Corridor of the Dark Maiden is the core temple of Yin Lisi Cui, but now that he was teleported for the first time, and before he could see the general structure of the temple, Isaac felt something move in his heart.
The situation that can be directly sensed in this temple, whether it is the surrounding sacred power or the fluctuation of the barrier guarding the temple, is extremely inconsistent with the status and influence of the Dark Maiden Corridor!
but……
There was a slight movement in his heart, but Isaac's expression did not change.
He remembered some rumors.
According to rumors, it should have happened in the past two or three years that the Dark Maiden Corridor was suspected to have been hit by a precise divine power dropped by the Spider Queen herself.
Although it is unclear why the Spider Queen can direct this divine attack into the Dark Maiden Corridor.
However, according to rumors, Kui Lu and many female priests of Yin Listui have been continuously creating the barrier on the Dark Maiden Corridor for decades, but they were completely destroyed in this disaster.
Looking at it now, this rumor may be true or not.
Within a period of time, the temple's architecture may be able to be restored quickly, but it is unlikely that the barrier will be re-improved.
In the blink of an eye as Isaac thought, Kui Lu led him out in a hurry.
Outside, Yin Listui's followers have already gathered.
There were about forty or fifty people.
Most of them are drow, and they are mainly women.
However, there are also quite a few semi-drow.
In addition, there are some humans and dwarves among them.
Kui Lu has been developing in Waterdeep City for many years, and has saved many lives from evil forces. Over a long period of time, there have been many non-drow races who have followed her and loyal to Yin Lisui.
Moreover, these people are especially loyal to her, and each one of them is willing to sacrifice their life for her!
At this time, they gathered in the temple square, under the statue of Yin Lisui.
As soon as Kui Lu appeared, as if Yin Listui had come in person, everyone's fighting spirit started to burn, almost visibly to the naked eye.
"Set off!"
Kui Lu had already carried out the necessary activation, so she did not waste any time at this time. With a wave of her hand, she immediately led the team and hurried towards a long corridor tunnel on the edge of the square.
"Ai, this is Yin Lilin, Yin Lilin Abrun, our guide on this trip. If you have any questions, you can ask her."
At the same time, Isaac was introduced to the person on his right.
Yin Lilin Abrun, one of the leaders of the Darksong Knights, is also her most effective assistant in the temple. At least, she is more effective than Cavatina in handling various matters.
However, the high priest Yin Liscui is not a pure drow. She is taller and one size larger than the normal drow. She is half drow and half human.
Elf.
"Master, thank you for your special trip to help. If you have any instructions, just feel free to do so!"
In response to Kui Lu's introduction, Yin Lilin greeted her cheerfully.
Kui Lu had already told her that a doctor would be invited for this trip, and naturally it should be this one.
In fact, she had met Isaac.
Back then, she was the one who watched the battle between the Witch King and Kui Lu and Isaac and the others in the Lost City along with Lirael Baenre.
However, when Isaac came this time, although he was still in human form, the changes he had made and his appearance were different from before. Naturally, it was impossible for her to recognize him directly at this time.
"It's okay, none of us want to see any accidents happen in the Lost City."
"Besides, I have been friends with Villadra for many years and have always respected the goddess. I will not stay out of the affairs of the temple."
"Madam, there is no need to be polite to me. How you should act is still based on your predetermined plan."
Isaac nodded and smiled.
Although he was not familiar with this person, he knew that this person had a very close relationship with Kui Lu and would be a good helper to Anasia in the future, so naturally he would not treat her indifferently.
However, when he said this, Yin Lilin did not take it rashly and looked at Kui Lu first.
"Okay, you don't have to be polite to come or go, it's all about action."
Kui Lu nodded slightly, paused in her voice, and added in a low voice: "Ai is my close confidant, so it's just like coming and pulling, so it doesn't matter."
Only then did Yin Lilin feel relieved. She and Isaac agreed again, and then she gave an order and took the initiative to lead the team to march quickly in the tunnel.
She is one of the leaders of the Darksong Knights, and she certainly has sufficient authority over the temple's armed forces.
Without Kui Lu's direct intervention, everyone in the team was quite obedient.
And it was with this rapid march.
But Isaac also knew why a good temple would be called a "corridor".
The temple is surrounded by dark and deep tunnels, and the sound of footsteps echoing inside will last for a long time.
This kind of tunnel is too crude and primitive compared to the one in the Lost City of Earth.
It's not just that.
When Yin Lilin led the team, after a period of rapid march in the tunnel.
Suddenly, something moved in Isaac's mind. At a fork in the road, Yin Lilin led the team to one side. While he was keeping up, his eyes glanced far away in the other direction, into the depths of darkness.
"dark!"
"confusion!"
"hatred!"
"Is it the place where the Ancient Eye was expelled and sealed in the past?"
This place where the Ancient Eye descended is a holy place for its believers. Entering here, performing evil rituals, and calling for the arrival of the Ancient Eye again has never been interrupted.
The reason why Kui Lu built the "Dark Maiden Corridor" here was to prevent the possibility of the Ancient Eye returning.
Periodically, she and the priestesses of the temple would patrol this "long corridor" tunnel to combat any possible moves by the minions of the Ancient Eye.
However, Isaac did not pay too much attention to this movement in his heart, nor did he ask Kui Lu anything.
What the Ancient Eye does has nothing to do with him.
…
The Dark Maiden Corridor is in the northeast of the "Sagas Level".
Yin Lilin led her team, and after a long march in the tunnel, a secret door hidden by magic opened for her, and the environment in front of her was finally no longer a monotonous cave tunnel.
This also means that Earthline Maze City has arrived!
Yin Lilin then signaled the team to slow down and recover their strength while marching towards the central area.
Naturally, there are lightly-armed drow warriors conducting reconnaissance in front.
That's it for the past.
The central area was almost completely occupied by the Spider Queen's minions, and she had led her team into several fierce battles there due to her exploration.
Even though this place is at the very edge of the East District, Yin Lilin won't be careless.
However, in a place like Leyline City where monsters are infested, no matter how cautious she is, and no matter how cautious the drow are in adapting to the dark environment, it is impossible to completely avoid the battles they will encounter.
It only takes a moment to travel.
There was no warning, but suddenly, Isaac's heart moved.
His keen hearing had passed through the surrounding marching movements and captured some slight movements coming from ahead.
The drow scouting ahead were involved in an encounter.
However, judging from the magnitude of the movement and the fact that no signal was sent, this must be just clearing out some monsters along the way.
Isaac didn't pay much attention, but continued to observe the surrounding situation.
The Sargus layer should be the largest layer in Leyline City. At least, it should be the core layer among the layers that adventurers can explore.
The reason for this is that, in addition to the fact that this layer has an underground river and thus has sufficient life resources, the other major reason is that it is adjacent to the Skull Port and is most likely based on some ancient ruins.
It was further expanded.
However, at least in this eastern area, Isaac could not discern any special civilization features from the architectural styles along the way.
On the contrary...
While walking and observing, suddenly, Isaac's heart moved, and his "true knowledge" eyes turned.
