Watching the owl Xiaona spreading her wings and flying towards the outside of the mine, the three of them turned around and followed the old miner's words and walked west along the mine tunnel.
As the three people continued to go deeper, the light in the mine became dimmer. Thanks to the stinginess of the two copper mine owners, the torches that were lit every 30 meters or so were obviously not enough to provide sufficient light for the entire mine. environment.
The occasional sound of water dripping from above the mine tunnel makes the already deep mine tunnel even quieter.
After walking about half a kilometer west, the downward slope of the tunnel gradually became steeper, and the three of them had to slow down.
But soon, they saw the warning sign placed in the mine tunnel and the line of writing on the warning sign.
——Attention, construction ahead is extremely dangerous, please return immediately!
"It seems that the old man didn't lie to us."
Looking at the warning sign, Renn finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Following the warning signs, the three of them trekked for more than ten minutes before finally arriving at the fork in the road the old miner had mentioned.
The thick wooden boards used to seal the road at the entrance of the cave are the most obvious sign.
Since they arrived here and took on the task of monitoring the elevator, apart from food and equipment, the only people who came down from the elevator were two close associates of the mine owner. Therefore, after a long and monotonous work, regardless of whether Whether it was Hermes or Hieff, they couldn't help but feel slack, subconsciously thinking that everyone coming off the elevator was one of their own.
Seeing the elevator landing, Hermes stepped forward with his hands empty and cursed, ready to check the quality of the food delivered this time.
Looking at the two humanoid creatures walking towards the elevator, Angelica could lower her voice with a hint of curiosity and repulsion.
"Here we go...do it!"
Ren lowered his voice and reminded his companions. At the same time, he quietly pulled out the enchanted sword from its scabbard.
Angelica asked worriedly.
"It seems that they are here to welcome us guests. Ren, you can use the special ability of the paladin to sense the opponent's camp."
When the opponent was less than three meters away from him, Renn suddenly jumped out of the elevator like a vigorous cheetah, and the long sword in his hand drew a bright light in the darkness.
"Um."
In such an environment, most new tieflings eventually become liars, thieves or criminal leaders when they grow up.
Seeing his companion being severely injured by the sword of the enemy who suddenly came out of the elevator, Hayov, who was not far from Hermes, changed his face and reached for the giant ax hanging on his back.
Today, there are not many tieflings on the main material plane of Erathia, and because of their own blood, their race suffers from discrimination and suspicion from other intelligent races.
Seeing that the elevator was about to land, Ren whispered:
"I'll deal with the one on the left, and you guys will deal with the other one. It's a quick fight without giving them time to react. Do you understand?"
"Can you do it?"
Always being stared at and whispered to, always enduring violence and insults in the streets, always seeing distrust and fear in the eyes of others: this is a tiefling.
After checking that the lift was working normally, the three of them walked in, and then Lane began to control the winch and slowly lower the lift downwards.
The two of them are tiefling warriors recruited by the Faceless Men and are responsible for monitoring the elevators coming down from above.
"Ren, I seem to hear faint footsteps."
At the four corners of the platform, four iron pillars stand diagonally. The tops of the iron pillars merge into one about three meters above the platform. A long iron chain as thick as a bowl hangs straight down from the welding joints of the four iron pillars.
One end is connected to the top of the elevator, and the other end is connected to the winch fixed in the elevator.
"Let...ah!"
After this whole process, only one zero-level spell slot was consumed by the female mage, but the noise caused was much smaller than Ren's direct demolition.
Upon hearing this, Ren waved his hand, and the paladin's [Holy Sense] ability was instantly activated, covering a space of about 20 meters centered on him.
Half a minute later, Angelica suddenly whispered:
Amidst the sound of the bowstring, an arrow shot through the air and hit his face.
…………
"Walk."
With a crisp "click" sound, Ren punched a big hole in the board, and then he used both hands to pull hard to the left and right. With a heart-wrenching "crunch" sound, a gap as big as half of his body appeared.
He tore it out.
"Intruder?!"
Those people became the earliest tieflings, and with the blood of the devil in their bodies, they once established their own kingdom.
After releasing [Acid Splash], Leolina looked at Ren.
"Good job."
For many races, the former Xianglong Empire and the Cathay Dynasty that succeeded it were the place they longed for. It was a powerful and tolerant country.
The next moment, two scarlet humanoid images appeared in the paladin's field of vision.
Angelica and Leonina each nodded, and then silently prepared.
The slope of this mine tunnel is much steeper than the mine tunnel that Ren and the three passed through just now, reaching almost 45 degrees.
"Boom!"
Although they are in many respects indistinguishable from humans, certain features of their appearance attest to their infernal heritage:
Tieflings have horns of various shapes on their heads, some are curved like ram horns, others are straight and long, and even spiral up like antelope horns.
"Zizzizi..."
Hearing that familiar voice, Hermes ended his sleep state and opened his red eyes.
Grease technique!
Then, with the sound of bowstrings and dull gunshots, the unlucky tiefling warrior never stood up again, and was jointly eliminated by the ranger lady and the female mage.
"Before they find us, take action first!"
Another tiefling warrior, Hiev, grumbled, grabbed the weapon thrown at his feet, and walked towards the elevator with his companions.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Granolin's secrets are quite deep."
In the entire Western Continent, the only one that can accommodate them is the Bauhinia Business Alliance, which has become open because of business.
"Anjie, don't underestimate the wisdom and methods of the mage!"
Gradually, except for the eternal flames that barely illuminated the entire elevator space, Ren's vision was filled with darkness five feet away.
Because of their devil blood, they not only have sharp canine teeth, but also have various red patterns on their skin.
Under the action of the lever principle, the elevator descended little by little toward the bottom of the platform at a slow speed.
Leonina nodded and whispered to Ren.
As early as the end of the Fourth Era and the Dark Age before the Fifth Era began, some humans made a contract with the devils who had just separated the Nine Abyss from the Endless Abyss and created Baator Hell, in an attempt to use the power of the devils.
To end this dark age.
He touched the devil's horn on the top of his head and poked his companion with his elbow.
Renn got into the gap first and walked towards the mine tunnel behind the template, followed by the female mage and the ranger lady.
The tiefling warrior at the front was caught off guard, and was severely slashed by Ren's sword in the chest. The radiant energy attached to it made him scream in agony.
Their aesthetics are also influenced by the devil's blood, and they prefer dark colors and reds, and like to wear tight-fitting red and black leather clothes.
What is sad is that in that dark and bloody era of endless wars, even the blood of the devil could not guarantee the kingdom's long-term prosperity. In the end, in the war with neighboring countries for nearly half a century, the man named
Larcade's kingdom was in ruins.
It is said that in the Cathay Dynasty in the Eastern Continent, there is also a group of tieflings who live in the towns on the border of the kingdom as a vassal tribe of Cathay.
The female mage pursed her lips and smiled, then reached out and pointed towards the thick wooden board blocking the intersection. Accompanied by the sound of a spell, an acid ball flew out from her slender fingertips.
…………
"Hey, Hieff, those people above are bringing us food again."
Under the corrosion of acid, the thickness and hardness of the wooden boards have been greatly reduced.
However, in his eyes, the intruder is faster than himself!
No matter what race you are, you can always be respected there, find your place, and make due contributions to the prosperity of the empire and dynasty.
In desperation, Haive rolled to avoid the sudden arrow, but in the next moment, he just wanted to stand up, but unexpectedly, his feet suddenly became extremely slippery, and he was caught off guard and fell hard to the ground.
As long as people turn the winch, they can control the elevator to rise or fall.
Seeing the tiefling warrior wearing a red and black chain mail shirt walking towards this direction muttering, Ren's eyes sharpened, his voice lowered, and he reminded the two women behind him again.
"Let's go and see what food the stingy human has brought this time. I hope it's no longer the inferior moldy black bread!"
Ren walked to the edge of the platform, held on to the wooden fence and looked down. All he saw was darkness.
Not far from them, there was a huge open platform, with a simple lift parked in the hollow in the center of the platform.
The acid ball splashed away after hitting the wooden board. Almost instantly, the splashing acid liquid corroded the thick wooden board into pits.
"This seems to be the craft of dwarves?"
Renn put away the shield from the opponent's body, nodded to the two of them in appreciation, and then moved his gaze to the small silver instrument in the female mage's hand.
"This...it seems that we can only use violence to dismantle it!"
"There is an enemy, prepare to fight!"
Tieflings are the so-called successors who rule the Kingdom of Rakkad. Their bloodline has been contaminated and tainted by the devil, and has been passed down to every descendant.
Under the light provided by the immortal torch, Ren and the others walked about 400 meters further, and the space in front of them suddenly became wider.
"You can take care of the rest with just one fist."
"Let me see what food that old bastard brought us? If it's still those expired bread, I will tell Lord Faceless Man and ask him to send stone blind barbarian scouts to remove the head of that bastard's wife!"
"If you dismantle it directly, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the guards." Leolina raised her concerns, "Otherwise, leave it to me to handle it."
The ranger lady holding the compound longbow placed the arrow on the bowstring. The beautiful female mage moved her lips slightly and began to recite the spell silently.
These demon sons also have thick tails that are one meter to one and a half meters long, which can be whipped violently or wrapped around their legs when they feel frustrated or anxious.
"Ren, they are tieflings!"
Ren looked at these obstructive thick wooden boards and said in a deep voice.
Ren asked uncertainly.
Because at this point in time, it seems that only dwarves can make relatively sophisticated firearms.
Leolina turned the pistol on her index finger, covered her mouth and chuckled:
"The vision is good, it is indeed the craftsmanship of a dwarf, but it was enchanted by one of the teacher's friends, but later he lost to the teacher in a bet. A few months ago, the teacher took it out as a reward for the assessment,
Then it was in my hands."
Before you know it, it’s already one hundred chapters. Keep working hard and strive for one thousand chapters! ヾ(°°)
