"Dear messenger of the goddess, why did you come here alone?" The soldier who rescued me finally respected a priest like me.
I sighed and deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said: "My partner and I were here to kill the wolves, but unexpectedly we got separated! I was left alone. Fortunately, my goddess protected me.
Survive!"
The other soldier used the steel gun in his hand to drive away the vultures and then came over and said: "In that case, please return to the city now. We will cover you to complete the ceremony of returning to the city!"
Damn, you asked me to go back so directly!
I can't become invisible, and I can't use invisibility at the last second like Oni Yaksha did to create the illusion of returning to the city.
This is not possible. Although this place is very close to the Sleeping Dragon Valley, I still don't have any information. Wouldn't it be very shameful to go back like this?
So, I searched my brains and found an excuse: "I want to go to the toilet first..."
The soldier immediately said with a serious face: "Please go back to the city immediately!"
I sighed and pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Hey, let me tell you the truth! I actually escaped! So I can't go back!" I could only find such a lame excuse, and said it while saying
I tried my best to piece together more reasons for myself not to make a decision, such as what the soldier said next, how should I answer? If he said this, how should I say it, and so on.
In short, I am looking for various reasons to make my lies sound like the truth.
But as if I didn’t need to make it up, one of the soldiers asked on his own initiative: "Are you from the Knights of the Blue Kite?"
Huh? This status seems good!
So I said with compassion: "Yes, actually I am...! However, I have decided to give up all my previous identities. I just want to enter Xuantian City and be an ordinary priest..."
Before I finished speaking, I saw the two soldiers winking at each other. I was still worried about whether they were going to attack me, so I was prepared to leave at any time.
One of the soldiers seemed to be saying something to the air. He was too quiet to hear clearly. However, after a while, the soldier glanced at me and said, "Let's go, our general wants to see you!"
This made me suddenly startled, but under the leadership of two spear soldiers, I descended from an elevator on the west side of the gravel wasteland to the trapped dragon valley below.
Only then did I really see clearly what Trapped Dragon Valley looked like.
This is indeed a long and narrow grand canyon running from north to south. The width on both sides is about ten or twenty meters, but the depth is more than thirty meters. If you look down from the top, it will be pitch black below and you can't see anything.
But as the elevator lowered, this was no longer the case after we reached the bottom of the valley.
I found that the bottom seemed to be covered with a kind of moisture mist, and because there was no sunlight all year round, when I looked down from above, I thought that the bottom of the valley I saw was actually this mist, but it was not the real mist.
Bottom.
After passing through this layer of fog, we are actually still sinking down, getting darker and darker as we go down. The light is basically unable to penetrate through the fog above and reach here, so we can only reluctantly rely on ourselves.
With good eyesight, you can still see a little bit of things. However, at this time, your ears are filled with the ding-ding-dong-dong sound of using iron picks to hit the ore. It seems that many miners are constantly hammering and digging.
Ore embedded in stone.
Finally, with a "dong" sound, we finally landed.
And I was surprised to find that the width at the bottom was much wider than the crack at the top of the canyon looked. The cross-section of the entire canyon should actually be an isosceles trapezoid.
The location where we landed was actually a little west of the center line of the valley bottom. There was a very wide area to the west of us, where there were piles of ore like hills, and there were also artificial stones dug out from the stone wall at the end.
In the cave, some ragged goblins kept walking out of the cave carrying heavy ores in baskets, and then dumped the ores next to the ore piles piled up like hills outside, and then dragged the heavy ones with them.
Step by step, he walked back to the cave under the whip of the soldiers of the White Bird Knights wearing black armor.
I couldn't help but be shocked. In our Silver Moon City, these goblins are so arrogant and can even pose a threat to our novice village with weapons, but here they are like slaves and can only do the most humble things.
The physical labor really opened my eyes.
"Please go this way!" Two soldiers said one after another and sandwiched me in the middle. I almost had no choice but to lead me towards the bottom of the canyon to the east. There was a black canyon there.
A small stone house made of piled stones, with a large dark purple flag hanging on it, and a white bird's head logo in the middle.
This is the flag of the White Bird Knights.
In front of the house, there were six fully armed knights standing guard in front of the small stone house, holding the swords at their waists.
After the two soldiers said hello to one of their squad leaders, they formally handed me over to the squad leader, and the two of them returned to the ground via the original route.
The squad leader touched his chin, looked at me, laughed twice, and said, "You came here empty-handed?"
Is he implying that I want a bribe?
Although this kind of thing is what I hate the most in my life, I still understand the unspoken rules after studying in the workplace for two years. There are some code words that I must be able to listen to.
I immediately took out 10 gold coins from my backpack and secretly stuffed them into his hand, "Invite brothers to tea!"
Unexpectedly, this guy actually weighed it with some dissatisfaction and smiled!
I was almost mad at him for being so greedy, so I gave him another 8 gold coins with a bitter look on my face.
The man looked at me. I was actually wearing a low-level priest's robe. It was sometimes used to hide my identity, so I could tell at a glance that it was not a good thing. There were no wrist guards or anything like that. He kept all the gold coins in his pocket.
then opened the door and said: "Go in!"
I wiped it, that’s it?
I will remember you. Next time I kill you specifically, I must use all the 18 gold coins I gave you today.
I looked in the door. The small stone house was not big, but it was very high. I couldn't say it was resplendent inside, but it looked luxurious. A middle-aged uncle wearing black armor with gold inlay was sitting on the floor.
On the high platform facing the gate, he was playing with two purple-looking crystal clear round crystal beads in his hand, and beside him there were two sexy beauties wearing scantily clad veils, one of whom was helping him peel grapes.
Then he held it in his mouth and brought it to his mouth, while the other kneeled at his feet to help him squeeze his feet.
Enjoy! Isn’t this the life every man wants?
The black-armored general looked up at me and raised his lips: "Where are the Nicholas people?"
