Because the tournament is scheduled for the autumn harvest, this year's date starts on September 11th.
It was only the beginning of August, so there was plenty of time. Taking advantage of the time, Raven decided to get out the damn treasure of the cruel demon Gargoth first.
Raven knows the strategy for Gargoth's treasure cave, but he has never been there personally. When facing the treasure of a fallen god, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.
Gargoth was deeply entangled with the Nine Hells. Even if Raven didn't think there would be a demigod-level devil coming out, Raven decided to take Sainz, a paralyzed woman, with him just to be on the safe side.
With Sainz taken away, there will be an emptiness on the Colombes side.
Raven wrote letters one by one and asked old man Jacob from the Golden City Adventurer's Guild to pass them on to see if any of the legendary strong men who had been hanging out with him were willing to help. By the way, he wanted to see Pyros who had taken the fragment of the godhead.
No exit.
The final result was that Pylos still did not come out, but two legendary strongmen were invited to help. They did not join Corian Pais, but simply came to help sit for a while. The two were the legendary barbarian Balu and the middle-aged legendary mage Monterey.
.
Raven is not surprised about Balu. This guy is a guy who is good at eating, drinking and having fun. After saving a group of beautiful girls, they are now all pregnant by him. This guy can't spend enough money on the rent, so he runs away
Come to be a mercenary.
On the contrary, Monterey and Raven were more surprised.
"I have passed the best time to attack the Holy Realm. I was forcibly promoted to the legendary level in my early years, which left a lot of hidden wounds on my body. Unless I am willing to become a lich in this life, this is my limit. Compared with
Instead of adventuring here and there, I prefer to stay quiet and do some research. I will stay in Colimpes for a few months, and I can’t say what will happen next. But now I am willing to help you. After all, I feel that I am witnessing a
The Rise of the Miracle Man.”
They were very honest words, without any arrogance or deliberate flattery. The middle-aged legendary mage really regarded Raven as a friend worth keeping company with.
Raven also thanked him very much.
In this way, on August 5, Raven took Sainz and Baimao on a treasure hunt.
Gargaoth's treasure is not far from the Golden City. It is located in an earldom not far from the Gold Trade Road. On the surface, Gargaoth's pseudonym is Gast. He is a real earl of the Erwin Empire.
.I am older and have been living in seclusion in recent years.
No one knew that Count Gaste was actually an evil god.
With so few men at hand, Raven would certainly not choose to attack an earldom. Even if he could win, it would be troublesome. Especially not long after the eldest prince of the Erwin Empire was killed by Tinos, the entire empire was like a mad dog, looking for him everywhere.
People vent their anger.
Oh, yes, Tinos is playing games with the ancient shadow dragon Xinli in the Shadow Plane. Whether he is playing a mind-blowing quiz game or counting ants, I don’t know.
Raven didn't need to attack the Earl's territory. There was a secret passage in the back mountain where the Earl's castle was located. After passing through the deep and dense jungle, Raven easily found the entrance to the treasure on the steep and dangerous back mountain. A piece of stone engraved with a seemingly ordinary inscription was actually the entrance to the treasure.
Rocks with mysterious inscriptions.
"Let all the hypocritical and loyal people in the world die."
Well, Gargoth's secret words are so annoying.
The boulder in front of him turned into a phantom and no longer had substance. Raven entered it with Bai Mao and Sainz.
The passage inside spiraled downwards. After walking for about fifteen minutes, Raven and his party arrived at a circular platform.
On the platform, twelve strange gems were suspended above the platform at the twelve o'clock position. At the bottom of the channel was a huge blood-red energy pool. The obvious smell of hell was escaping from the pool, which made people very uncomfortable.
I always feel like a devil will suddenly jump out of the pool.
Raven stopped Bell's plan to summon thunder and lightning in advance. However, Sainz and the Shadow Killer hiding in Raven's shadow were ready to slash at any monster that rushed towards the team.
There are four passages next to the energy pool, leading to the four directions of east, west, north and south, but in front of the passage, Raven sensitively discovered a problem.
This is a typical magic trap used for alarming. If any creature walks by, its heat will be sensed, thus notifying the people inside.
The key is that this alarm trap was installed recently.
"The followers of Gargas have not been defeated?" Saenz asked quietly.
"Not only did it not happen, but it actually changed my mind." Raven was a little dizzy because he heard the faint hell language coming from the end of at least two passages. Only middle-level devils or above can speak such standard hell language.
Devils are all cunning and insidious. Under Asmodeus, the Pearl of Hell, each hell king has a different secret order. Gargoth, known as the tenth king of the nine hells, fell. His fearful followers
It is absolutely normal to fall into the arms of other big devils.
Raven hesitated.
When you attack a demon, you are only challenging a single creature. But when you attack a demon, you are challenging them all.
After all, there are only a few devils like Gargas who leave their true bodies on the main plane of Ultron. More devils will just come and project themselves. Killing him on the main plane is not the end at all, but a beginning.
The killed devil will gather more companions to carry out a grander conspiracy against you.
In fact, for devils, property is a means to achieve their goals. Under normal circumstances, they have no special preference for money. Although property can come in many uses in a devil's conspiracy, if they encounter trouble
, the devils will simply give up their treasures.
Raven once considered whether to use coercion to show off his strength and force the devil here to give up the treasure. After thinking about it, he decided not to do so.
Devils are very vindictive, and if you are entangled with them, it will be endless.
In fact, Raven's behavior is very similar to that of the devil. He often weighs the pros and cons and likes to trick people. He also has his own bottom line and will fight to the end at all costs for what he wants to protect.
It's just that Raven's bottom line and moral integrity are much higher than the devil's.
In theory, yes.
Raven led the people back the way they came.
One day later, Bai Mao, who had been struggling for a long time, finally got some relief.
"Boom" Bell slammed open the castle door of the earldom with a bear paw with the power of thunder and lightning. Behind him, there were countless roaring paladins who rushed in angrily with weapons raised.
"Men on the left and women on the right, all kneel down for me! The devil stands in the middle waiting to die!" Bell laughed and stood at the gate of the city with his arms akimbo.
"Don't block the way!" A paladin ignored Bai Mao and rushed past.
"Your butt is too big...don't block the suspension bridge." Another paladin rushed over.
"..."
Bai Mao felt bored for a moment, so he had no choice but to follow the charge and rush into the castle. On the first floor of the castle basement, he encountered a chain demon and immediately started fighting with that guy.
"Evil will be purified!" When facing demons or demons, the paladin always looks like he has been beaten to death. This time, also benefiting from someone's detailed intelligence, the paladin beat the devil in a rare way.
The cult was caught off guard.
Under normal circumstances, once they are warned, the devil residents of this base will first enter their respective combat positions and go to terrains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack and can launch surprise attacks on invaders. Then, in order of increasing importance, they will
were sent in turn to repel the invaders.
Servants and retainers are used to wear down the enemy and exhaust their resources, while the more powerful defenders are ready to launch a fierce attack on the remaining invaders and eliminate them completely.
The leaders of the organization will retreat to a safe place and monitor developments on the battlefield through divination tools or verbal reports from messengers.
Normally, this is indeed the case.
But the shameless Raven used his gorgeous infiltration and memories of this place to figure out the location of almost all the traps and alarm systems. He also used the classic trick of "fossils into mud", allowing the paladin troops responsible for the raid to enter directly.
Entering the core area of the treasure cave, the first encounter entangled the three most powerful high-level demons: two horned demons and a Hama demon.
Bell's attack outside the castle was actually an attack on the devil's slaves and attendants.
Just as the paladins and devils in the castle and underground palace were fighting, Raven took Sainz and sneaked into the underground palace again.
Since a large number of paladins had already opened the way ahead, these guys in heavy armor were like a herd of elephants running wildly, and almost all alarm traps were triggered by them.
Raven and Sainz didn't run into any trouble.
Just when they walked to an inconspicuous, dark corner full of debris, Raven pointed to his feet. Sains heard it immediately. There was a trap door under their feet. If you listened carefully, you could hear a burst of sound coming from under the door.
There was a soft scraping sound, like many daggers being dragged across the floor.
Chain Demon!
In addition, many soft footsteps can be heard, which are different from any high-level devil that Raven knows.
The two looked at each other and at the same time activated the latest magical spell [Misty Deception] given to them by Laila.
A seemingly light mist surrounded them, but in fact, this mist combined a series of hidden functions such as fog, light refraction, odor masking, and isolation detection.
Gently opening the trap door, the two entered a deeper level.
The two teams look like little devils, but the creatures shrouded in shadow are busy here, and another female figure in a cloak is supervising them. They are tinkering with a batch of boxes. Not far away, two chain demons are working
Guard.
The dim light emitted from the pale white glass balls hanging high around the room shook for a while, and the chain demon and the little devil fell to the ground at the same time. The devils killed by Raven and Sainz turned into a pool of foam that kept rising.
, the sneaky moving ooze, the evil magic power of this kind of soul residue is disgusting.
Two Assassin Demon Elites suddenly jumped out of the room. Sainz swung his sword at them. The three guys started fighting fiercely. Unconsciously, the battlefield moved away from the room.
A woman stood there, raised her head and stared at Raven in shock, the Black Moon Blade was pressed against her throat.
"Hi! Beauty, can you give me that thing you secretly hide in your waist?" (To be continued...)
