"Roll~roll~" is the sound of wooden wheels, and a wooden cage is mounted on the wheels. In the cage, Link, Ellette, and Di Luosen are wearing thin prison clothes, leaning against the prisoner with dejected faces. The cage sits.
The shadow walker just wanted to ask them a few questions. After the questions were over, the lives of these three people were at an end. Naturally, these thieves would not give them any good treatment.
Of course, in the eyes of the thieves, these three were ordinary merchants, and they might have some force, but now that they had disarmed, they were nothing to worry about. During the escort, no one paid attention to these three prisoners, as long as they didn't die halfway.
This gave the three of Link the space to communicate secretly.
The three of them are supreme powerhouses, and they communicate with each other without needing to speak. To be on the safe side, they didn't even use lip language or gestures, but used a set of subtle movements they had agreed upon before, such as raising eyebrows, moving Hands and feet and other small movements.
In the eyes of outsiders, the three of them have no abnormal movements at all, and if they do more, they just adjust their sitting postures, but the three of them are already 'talking'.
"Hey, are your things ready? We're about to meet Morpheus." Ellette looked at Di Luosen. They were walking on a forest path leading to the depths of the mountain forest. Looking at the scene, It shouldn't be far from Morpheus' lair, and whether they can defeat Morpheus depends on the level 19 sacred artifact carried by Di Luosen.
"Don't worry, the Snow Mountain Dharma God has carefully studied his power before setting off. This sacred weapon was specially made for him. He will definitely die this time." The corners of Di Luosen's lips curled up slightly, and there was no worry in his eyes.
Link didn't say much, he was always observing the surrounding environment, and at the same time, he used the numbers around him, the direction of the wind, and the breath of the thieves' speech to judge their current position.
At the same time, he compared this position with the position of the Shadow Fortress in the previous game to determine whether they were really going to Morpheus' lair this time.
The details in the game are relatively rough, but the specific location is very accurate. For example, the previous thieves stronghold, which is also in the game, is called Fort Holder. It is a very important stronghold in the Syndicate, and it is a small team book in the game. The thief Yam and the leader of the thieves that appeared before are all BOSS in the fortress.
When Link brought his team to open up wasteland and killed the leader of the thieves, he got clues about the shadow fortress of Morpheus' lair.
According to the game description, the Shadow Fortress is located in a deep mountain and old forest more than 80 kilometers southwest of Holder Fortress, and there is a very sinister poisonous fog barrier around it. If ordinary people do not take the corresponding antidote in advance, Touch poison and die.
What makes Link feel strange is that they have traveled about 40 kilometers this way. According to the description in the game, they are about to touch the poisonous fog barrier. If Morpheus wants to ask questions, at least the three of them must be kept alive. Okay, then they should be given the antidote, but looking at the appearance of the thieves, there was no movement at all.
The poisonous mist barrier did not appear either.
Slowly, the route of the prison car seemed to have some slight deviations from the location in Link's memory, but what is the specific difference, or are these deviations the inherent errors between the game and reality, or are these thieves They are taking another safe route. Currently, there is too little information, and Link can't tell the difference for the time being.
However, Di Luosen was too optimistic, and this kind of mentality was unacceptable to deal with a demigod.
Link also spoke: "Although he is an upstart, he is a demigod after all, and he has obtained the fragments for at least a hundred years. Such an existence always has its own cards, so we should be careful."
"Of course." Di Luosen shivered and nodded slightly.
The prison car continued to move forward for another two hours or 30 miles. The path suddenly became much wider and flatter, the bumps of the prison car became less, and the trees in front of it were much thinner. Looking ahead, you can see It is a valley, the valley is only more than 50 meters wide, the walls on both sides are extremely high, and there is a thin layer of mist lingering in the valley.
Seeing the valley, Link felt more and more wrong.
"Here we are, stop the car." The leader of the thieves from Fort Holder was walking in the front. He raised his hand, and the whole team stopped: "Let people go."
A thief came up, opened the iron door of the prison car with a bang, and shouted: "Come out, come out."
"What's the situation?" Ailette asked his companion with his eyes.
Di Luosen frowned, he didn't know, Link raised his eyebrows: "Do as he said, adapt to the situation."
It is very normal for the plan to deviate. The information they have is not comprehensive. How can a plan based on incomplete information be perfect
The three got out of the carriage, and the thieves on the side put a dagger on the back of the three of them: "Go, go forward."
The three of them were forced to walk all the way to the leader of the thieves at the front. The leader of the thieves sneered and threw a package into Link's arms: "Take this gem statue and go all the way into the valley. Don't try to escape, because God It's waiting for you in the valley."
The three of Link looked at me and I looked at you, each of them had a look of 'panic' on their faces, and their bodies were also 'shaking', hesitating and daring not to move forward.
"Enter the valley!" The leader of the thieves took out the crossbow and pulled the string with a 'click', and the other thieves did the same. For a while, the three of Link were pointed at by more than a dozen sharp crossbows shining with cold light.
If you don't go, you are dead. Although the road ahead is unknown, there is still a glimmer of hope. The three of them walked forward "shudderingly", especially Link, who was holding the gemstone statue, trembled the most, obviously frightened up.
The thieves behind burst into laughter, but they stood motionless at the entrance of the valley, only looking at Link and the other three from behind.
The three kept walking, kept walking, and soon, they walked into the white mist in the valley. Looking back, the figures of those thieves were completely covered by the white mist, and they were completely invisible.
Morpheus still didn't show up, which deviated greatly from the plan, but the three of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and move on.
After walking for about ten minutes, a voice suddenly sounded in the white mist: "Mortal, you look familiar."
When the voice sounded, the white mist around the three of them suddenly moved and condensed into a figure. This figure walked towards the three of Link, and the figure's eyes were fixed on Link.
This should be a projection of Morpheus, where is the real body? No way of knowing, naturally, Di Luosen couldn't make a move. He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Link and Morpheus had dealt with each other before. In order to avoid being recognized by him, Link changed his facial features and figure, and also concealed all the magical aura. Coupled with the trembling and cowering expression at this time, it was completely out of character. It was a different person, but the demigod's perception was so keen that he still felt a sense of familiarity.
Link collapsed to the ground with a 'thump', with sweat pouring down his forehead, his hands were trembling, and he held the package containing the gemstone statue above his head, his voice trembling: "Great God, I'm just a businessman, I'm just a bastard!" Let me eat, please forgive me."
With such an expression, no one would have guessed that this is the invincible Lord Fielder of Ferroman. Although Ellette and Di Luosen are also full of fear, they are quite admirable at this time. This acting, if they hadn't known in advance , I can't see it anyway.
The figure of the white mist seemed to have dispelled his doubts. His eyes were attracted by the package in Link's hand. He didn't know what he did, but the package opened automatically, and the bright star stone statue was revealed.
"It's a good thing, it's really a good thing, but it's a pity that there's only half of it." The white mist statue looked at the fracture on the statue, stretched out a hand, and rubbed it carefully: "Where did you get this thing?"
At this time, Link's back was soaked and covered in cold sweat. Half of the cold sweat was fake, and the other half was real. He had a hunch that as long as he told the prepared information, Morpheus would immediately tell them hands on.
Once Morpheus makes a move, the three of them will naturally be exposed. This is near Morpheus' lair. Once exposed, they will directly face Morpheus himself.
Their plan was to take advantage of Morpheus's inattention and sneak attack first. Only by doing so could they succeed. If it was a head-on confrontation, the three of them would be three little mice in front of the demigod, who could be trampled to death with a lift of their feet.
Now, it is really a matter of life and death!
The question is, what should I do
Ailette and Di Luosen on the side are extremely intelligent people, and they both know that the situation is critical, but they can't help it. Both of them are extremely anxious, and they are sweating desperately, really sweating like rain.
