The group of people arrived at the top of the low mountain in the center of the island without incident. Lin Yun also saw it just now. The largest building here is located here.
"Well. We'd better not leave Mr. Aravashnai alone in this city to talk to people. After all, strictly speaking, this is a diplomatic occasion. If something goes wrong," Lin Yun said with some worry.
"I know." The elf mage said in a low voice.
There were also mixed race guards standing outside the door. After seeing Lann, they started talking in underground language again, and then they moved aside to allow Lin Yun and the others to enter.
Entering the house, the structure inside is also very simple, but it can be considered luxurious for such a living place.
There was a stone seat in the main hall, and sitting on it was an extremely fat hybrid man who looked like a giant rat.
One of his eyes had a white cloud, so his vision seemed to be greatly affected.
But even though he looks so ugly, his expression gives people a sense of uprightness and peace.
"Hello, Chief Sur, I am honored to be received by you." Lin Yun saluted the other party.
"I am Dante, a man on the earth who fell into this underground due to a disaster, and now we are looking for a way back to the surface."
"Hello, Lord Dante. I am very sorry for what happened to you, and I think the disaster you are talking about must be the earthquake recently." With a slightly low tone, Chief Sur said slowly.
"As you said. It's just that it was not an ordinary earthquake, but was caused by a powerful demon that invaded Cannably." Lin Yun solemnly blamed the demon for the earthquake.
Although from a certain perspective, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
"Oh!" Everyone suddenly felt that the unattractive old mixed-race man in front of them had sharp eyes.
It seems that even after coming here, the hostility of the Holy Crusaders towards demons is still there.
"Now we don't know what is happening on the ground, but judging from what we have experienced, it is difficult to be optimistic." Lin Yun said in a deep voice.
"Really? This is really terrible. Did Montevi's expedition encounter such a setback?" Chief Sur looked at the ceiling of the stone house, as if he didn't know whether he was feeling emotional or regretful.
"In fact, if you are talking about the first jihad, then it is probably the fifth jihad that is about to begin." Lin Yun said with a wry smile, "It can be said to be a very bad beginning."
This is true both for the people here and for players like Lin Yun.
The Storm King comes to an end at the beginning, and kills an ancient dragon Silver Dragon at the beginning. Isn't this exciting enough?
"Corey, Della, you can go back and rest. Lann can stay." He waved to the two hybrids, and Chief Sur took a deep breath.
The two hybrids nodded and walked away quickly, knowingly.
"So I hope you can understand that we are very eager to go back and do our best for this city." Lin Yun said seriously.
"Well, I can totally understand. I wonder if you know the origin of our clan?" Chief Sur said with a sigh.
"The result that our venerable Mr. Aravashnai has analyzed is that you and your people are descendants of the First Expeditionary Force, which we call the First Holy War."
"Yes, fate and the power of the abyss have contributed to our differences in appearance, but our hearts are the same. Since you brought these, um, disabled people and people with no fighting ability, can you still come all the way? If you don't leave here, you will understand that you are a kind person. People like you will understand our differences, but other surface people may not."
"I understand that differences will always exist among people." Lin Yun nodded slightly, "To tell you the truth, he and I are actually tieflings." Lin Yun said bluntly.
"Oh, now the Expeditionary Force, oh, the Crusaders can even accept the demons?" Chief Sur seemed a little surprised as he opened his eyelids slightly.
"Because the demons have proven with their blood that they are also full of hatred for demons." Lin Yun continued.
"I see, even among the same races, extreme and reckless people will inevitably emerge. No race can avoid this curse. We are outcasts, freaks, and monsters. Even people like Lann It is rare for an individual to have a complete appearance, and it still does not look like our ancestors did in the past." The old hybrid Sur said in a calm tone.
"Seeing others with prejudice is a shame for those who hold prejudices, but such things will not block the judgment of truly wise people." Lin Yun said a famous saying that I don't know where he read it.
"I feel relieved to hear you say that." He sighed. "As descendants of the former expeditionary force, what you call the Crusaders, we have also been taught how to destroy demons. Regarding your feelings, I I understand it very well, but it’s a pity.” Chief Sur sighed as he spoke.
"Excuse me..." Lin Yun estimated what kind of side mission it might be and said cautiously.
"Actually, we have always maintained a passage leading to the ground here, but because of various, um, reasons you know, we don't dare to go to the ground easily. And now on the ground, our hometown is in trouble, and we should have gone to the rescue , It is a pity that the tribe that was originally guarding there betrayed us and cooperated with a group of people on the ground who seemed to be related to the devil." As he said this, Chief Sur seemed to be very sad and hit the chair with his fist. handle.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Our conditions here are too poor and we lack resources. If we trade with those people on the ground, we can at least live a better life. However, no matter what, this is betrayal." Chief Sur showed a look of hatred. "Before, because we are all descendants of the expeditionary force, we turned a blind eye, but now..."
"You mean, let us wipe them out?" Lin Yun said with a strange expression.
"Although it is a pity, it can only be like this. After all, traitors should not exist. If you can betray once, you can betray a second time. As long as you open that channel, go up and tell the compatriots of the Holy Army, tell us the Holy Religion The descendants of the army still adhere to the ancient creed and are willing to accept the existence of our underground holy army, then we are willing to shed our blood with our heads." Chief Suer looked at Lin Yun very firmly and said.
"Then I don't know, can you give us some help in wiping out that tribe?" Lin Yun continued.
"About this, as you can see, we have too few people here. I need to call other tribes together to prepare for a full-scale battle, so unfortunately, we can't help you fight. Of course, some materials
We can still provide some support and set aside one, no, two houses as your temporary residence. As long as necessary, you can come back to rest at any time. Okay, today's time is almost up. You guys take a rest and we will take a rest.
Prepare some resources for you." Chief Suer waved his hand and said.
"Can I know how many enemies this tribe has?" Lin Yun narrowed his eyes and asked.
"The traitors are similar to the people in our tribe. They should mainly be people on the ground, but I'm not sure about those people." Chief Sur said helplessly.
"Thank you very much for your help." Lin Yun probably understood what Chief Sur was thinking.
This guy is also an old fox. On the one hand, he wants to test the abilities of Lin Yun and the current "Holy Army", and on the other hand, he wants to kill the traitors. Of course, it may also turn into other more complicated situations.
As for his so-called adherence to ancient creeds.
I'm afraid if it weren't for Lin Yun and the others, once they failed, these guys would make a deal with the cultists.
The reason why I keep turning a blind eye is probably to avoid a complete stalemate and give myself a way out. When I really can't support it, I can at least seek refuge with the cultists in exchange for more things.
Of course, they undoubtedly have certain bottom lines.
I just don’t know whether the bottom line is above ground or underground.
Moreover, they probably also long to return to the earth.
But at the same time, they also know very well that if they return to the ground like this, they will be ostracized.
However, if it is said that this is the time for the Crusaders to hire people, it is just like the demon descendants in the past.
If they prove their abilities and the significance of their existence in the battle, let the people on the earth accept them, and even allow them to live the lives of the people on the earth again, then he, Chief Sur, can be regarded as a reward for his hard work.
Of course, this is still based on Lin Yun and the others' success in wiping out those cultists.
Again, if it fails, nothing will happen, and Chief Sur can even pretend that Lin Yun and the others do not exist.
Those people on the ground are causing trouble for you. What does it have to do with us hybrids?
Should I say that he really deserves to be a chief?
"By the way, we picked up this brooch when we fell down before. Lan En said it has something to do with you. Please take a look." At this time, Lin Yun also remembered the brooch he had gotten before and quickly took it out.
"Can you tell me where you found this?" Chief Suer said with some trembling.
"I found it by a fire. It seems like someone lost it." Lin Yun said, handing over the brooch and placing it in Chief Sur's trembling hand.
His intact eye was covered with mist.
"That's right. This is my son's brooch. I had a dispute with him before because he wanted to walk to the ground through that road, he wanted to see the sun, and he wanted to eliminate evil, but...he
He left Nisholm in a rage and has not been heard from since." He stretched out his hand to wipe his tears.
Obviously, his last sentence should be that he would not let his son have a head-on confrontation with those cultists.
"Since you picked him up on the way here, I think either he encountered something unexpected or his whereabouts are unknown." Chief Suer's eyes were full of helplessness.
