…………………………………………………………………………
Inside the cave, there is a long, wide dark black stone tunnel diagonally downwards. There are copper lamps inlaid every ten meters on the surrounding stone walls, but most of them are not lit, and occasionally a few
The dim yellow light made the corridor look pale and gloomy.
As soon as Lucien entered the corridor, he quickly and calmly dodged to the dark corner, blended into the shadows, and moved forward strangely and quickly without any sound of footsteps, almost crawling.
…………
In the temple, another high priest wrapped in a silver robe was checking the conditions of other entrances and exits, worried that it was a human coincidence and someone would sneak in from other entrances.
As for the entrance here, since it was the place where a fierce battle took place, and there was Angora outside, the high priest subconsciously ignored it, thinking it was safe, and put it at the end.
This is intentionally taking advantage of blind spots in thinking!
…………
After walking forward for ten seconds, the corridor became smooth, and many slightly old and dilapidated doors appeared on the stone wall.
Hiding in the darkness outside a door, Lucien did not use the "bat scream" to detect, but concentrated on listening to the movements inside with his increasingly sharp hearing, because he was worried that there was surveillance in this underground palace.
Magic arrays with large magic fluctuations, magical arrays, etc.
"There is no sound of breathing, no sound of conversation, and no sound of action." Lucien relied on the feedback to determine that there was no one inside. After all, the battle outside was fierce. If there were people or strange things that did not require breathing in the place where the Silver Horn cult was hiding,
Creatures, that would never be so quiet.
Holding the door handle with his right hand and applying gentle pressure, the door slowly opened. Lucien quickly glanced inside and then stepped into the room.
It was only at this moment that Lucien relaxed a little. The tension, depression, and fear of being discovered by high-level experts finally eased a little. Otherwise, Lucien suspected that he would suffocate unconsciously.
"It seems that most of the powerful cultists in this underground city have been transferred out to fight, while those who have not left are basically guarded in key places. Well, Uncle Joel and his family are poor, so the detention should not be strict.
." Lucien understood that his initial plan was successful, "But there is actually a ruin here."
It is obvious from the many rotten furniture in the room that this is an underground ruin.
After calculating that the cultists were hiding a hundred meters away from the ranger's hut, Lucien guessed that there might be underground ruins or underground caves. Both were 50% likely, so the "Emden" magic ruins were not
It's just random nonsense.
After a brief adjustment, Lucien opened the door again and continued to go deeper into the corridor. The matter was urgent, and the cultists had an absolute advantage in strength. I believed that it would not be long before the battle was over and they returned.
Lurking in the corridor, Lucien relied on past traces to determine where the core was, and at the same time looked for the cultists in the room.
After listening to three houses in a row, Lucien finally heard voices.
Behind an equally old door, two people were talking nervously:
"What happened outside? Are all the priests out?"
"I don't know either, but I can hear loud explosions outside..."
Lucien judged the strength of the two people, gently opened the door, and rushed in, his body turning into an afterimage.
The two cultists were worried about the situation outside. They didn't expect that they would be in danger. Lucien knocked them unconscious one by one.
After closing the wooden door, Lucien woke up one of the young cultists.
The cultist had just woken up, and when he remembered what had just happened, he shouted for help, but a pair of deep eyes appeared in front of him, which seemed like a dreamy starry sky with twinkling stars.
Suddenly, the cultist was lost in the starry sky and felt that the other person was the "Silver Lord" that he believed in wholeheartedly.
"Do you know where the captured poor family is being held?" Lucien asked softly.
The "Starry Eyes" used in this way is equivalent to hypnosis, with basically no magic fluctuations, and more direct mental and spiritual power.
After "communication" with the cultists, Lucien grasped the general situation of this layer of ruins. To the west of the ruins is the core temple, where there are high priests, priests, priests and dark knights, while the Joel family and some other ordinary hostages
He was imprisoned in a remote room northwest of the ruins, and was guarded by an ordinary dark knight and several knight attendants.
Moreover, this ruins has more than one floor, but the lower floors have been completely destroyed. At the same time, there are five exits on this floor, which are located in different places in the Melzer Black Forest.
Not daring to waste any time, Lucien broke the necks of the two cultists, then left the stone house, bypassed the core of the ruins, and quietly and quickly sneaked toward the northwest.
…………
After checking the other entrances, the silver-robed high priest in the temple began to perform evil spells to check the entrances that should have no problems. At the same time, he ordered the remaining priests, priests and dark knights to focus on checking the surroundings of the temple.
…………
Because he had mastered the terrain of this layer of ruins, although Lucien was still cautious, his hidden tension disappeared a lot, and he moved forward calmly and more freely. In addition, most of the powerful cultists in the ruins had already left.
, so he quickly and smoothly arrived at the "cell" location provided by the cult believers.
This is a large, remote room, divided into two halves by iron railings. The innermost part is divided into seven or eight small rooms, which hold different hostages, traitors, etc., while the outer part is hung with many torture instruments. Four strong people
The knight's attendants walked around uneasily, discussing outside matters from time to time.
An old man wearing black leather armor, whose face was a little distorted due to long-term negative emotions, was sitting on a wooden bench. He glanced fiercely at the "prisoner"'s room inside the iron railings, and seemed to be able to see through the closed iron door.
to the situation inside.
Violent noises were still coming, and although the fighting outside had eased a lot, it still continued.
As a dark knight, the old man suddenly stood up and said with deep anger: "Get those two guys with broken fingers out, I will punish them well."
Lucien, who was hiding in the shadows outside and quietly listening to the movement inside, moved in his heart, "He refers to Uncle Joel and Aunt Alisa?"
One of the knight attendants hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Lord Jason, we cannot let them die before we succeed!"
"I understand, but I am in a very bad mood right now and need to vent. They are the most troublesome prisoners. They have to be taken out every one or two days. It is so abominable and upsetting! I just want to teach them a lesson.
!" Because of the fighting outside, Jason said angrily, "Tim, if you don't want to, then you can take their place!"
Several knight attendants knew that Lord Jason was very irritable and irritable due to the power of his blood. They looked at each other and did not dare to stop him. They took out the keys and opened the iron railings and doors.
"You guys." Joel woke up in a daze. The torture during this period of time made them slow to react to the outside world, and they didn't even notice the fierce fighting on the ground.
Tim kicked Joel and kicked Alyssa awake: "Master Jason wants to interrogate you."
Then he turned sideways, leaving Joel and Alyssa worried and walked out in fear. Alvin, who was woken up, gritted his teeth and watched this scene bitterly. He did not cry or make any noise, and was much more mature than before.
"Go faster." Tim kicked Joel again, causing him to stumble out of the iron railing and almost fall in front of Jason.
Jason picked up the whip on the torture rack and whipped Joel on the back: "You lowly bastards, why do you want to trouble me so much! Damn it, really damn it!"
Although Jason restrained his strength for fear of beating Joel and Alisa to death, as a dark knight, he still whipped Joel and Eliza to the point where they rolled and screamed in pain.
Such painful shouts made Jason feel a little more comfortable, and his irritable mood eased because he was worried about the fighting outside.
But the painful scream also made Lucien in the shadow outside clench his fists tightly, wanting to rush in immediately to save people and kill people.
"It's not the time yet, we have to wait!"
Relying on his strong self-control and calmness, Lucien remained motionless and hid in the shadows.
…………
On the ground, the battle has come to an end. Among the thirty night watchmen, only "Joker", "Token Bearer" Salvador, Grand Knight Lund with the "Elimination" bloodline, "Night Watch Red Dragon" Minsk and the second-level battle are left.
Priest Juliana and the other twenty-five night watchmen, including a grand knight, were all killed, and some of them did not even have their bodies left.
"Silver Horn" High Priest Angra was floating in the air, using powerful evil spells to weaken the strength of the three fifth-level experts, and cooperating with the frontal attacks of other priests, priests and dark knights.
Angela relied on short-distance telepathy to communicate with the silver-robed high priest: "Ilya, these night watchmen of the church are really troublesome. There are many powerful magical items. If I hadn't taken the initiative in advance, I'm afraid that I, a seventh-level
The high priest has to pay a certain price to kill them."
Now, many of those magical items have been destroyed by Angra's evil magic.
"Angra, don't delay, resolve the battle quickly, and then seize the time to deal with the battlefield, and completely destroy the entrance to the ruins here to prevent the church from finding out." Silver-robed high priest Ilya urged Angra.
"Okay." Angela recovered for two seconds, and the dark light in her hand lit up, as if she was about to cast a powerful evil spell.
At this time, the sound of rushing tide suddenly sounded above, the darkness turned into a deep blue, and the sea strangely changed its position with the sky.
The dark blue water and sky suddenly collapsed, turning into a huge blue pillar that penetrated the sky and earth as if struck by the gods, shrouding Angra.
Silver-robed High Priest Ilya sensed this scene through his spiritual connection and stood up:
“‘Dark Blue Tide’ Camille!”
This is the seventh level Heavenly Knight!
And at high altitude, two bright red figures flew over, a man and a woman, their robes, shawls, and square hats were all bright red. They were assisting the Holy Spirit priest and member of the College of Cardinals, Salde, to preside over the Violite Diocese.
The two cardinals Gosset and Amerton!
Behind them, there were several knights flying over relying on magical items.
"Execute everyone, destroy all traces, and evacuate quickly from other entrances!" The silver-robed high priest Ilya had no time to care about Angra's condition. Through the crystal ball, he hurriedly gave orders to the key personnel inside the ruins. At the same time, he himself was also destroying
If the cardinal saw the complete altar, this matter would be a complete failure.
Although he and Angra are also seventh-level high priests, Angra has been fighting for a while and was successfully raided by the Sky Knight. The strength of the two of them will definitely not be able to defeat the two cardinals and a Sky Knight now, which is even more terrifying.
Unfortunately, Salde, the old "monster" who stands at the top of the world, is likely to arrive at any time, so Ilya made a very decisive decision.
…………
In the prison, Jason received orders from the crystal ball hanging around his neck through his will induction, so he swung the whip ferociously.
Lucien, who was in the shadow outside, heard the loud sound of waves hitting the ground, and knew that the opportunity he was waiting for had come. So before Jason could raise his whip, he had already opened the iron door outside and turned into
A faint moonlight-like afterimage rushed towards Jason's back. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piao Tian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
