Although the situation is extremely strange, the back road has been blocked, and Link and his party can only bite the bullet and walk deep into the cave.
"We must have angered the devil, it will kill us!" Yaksa murmured, already terrified by what happened along the way.
Yake was a little impatient, and roared in a rough voice: "Your life is the most precious, coward!"
Normally, Jacques, the captain of the militia, would definitely refute, but at this time, he shrank his head and muttered in a low voice: "I shouldn't have heard of this place!"
Anderson just heard it, he was very annoyed by this guy buzzing all the way, he is a knight of the kingdom, and he is also the commander of this operation, at this time he slapped him without any scruples: "Shut up, obey the order, Soldier!"
Although Anderson was also shocked by the current situation, he also knew that in this situation, fear could not solve any problems, and what was needed most was calmness.
The existence of this Yaksa is too fucking affecting morale, if it is on the battlefield, he will definitely kill this coward with a sword.
The slap was so hard that Jacques lost all his teeth and his mouth was covered with blood. He gave Anderson a venomous look, and finally remained silent.
These are just small episodes of the team, but they are enough to explain the anxiety in everyone's hearts.
Link saw this in his eyes, and knew that after a series of strange events beyond imagination, everyone's morale was running low. If they didn't escape this damn cave quickly, there might even be internal strife.
That would be bad.
At this time, another stone room appeared beside the passage. As before, everyone walked in to check, but found that there was no one in this stone room, and the furnishings inside were also different from other stone rooms. There was a small bookshelf and a desk. , there are many scrolls on the table, and the scrolls are not documents, but magic runes.
Link's heart moved, knowing that the owner of this stone room must be the dark elf magician.
He walked over, picked up the scrolls on the desk and examined them carefully one by one. Link basically knew the runes recorded on them, and they were all unformed hypotheses on how to improve magic, and they didn't have much value.
While flipping through the pages, suddenly, an open letter fell out from the gap in the scroll. Link pulled out the letter paper and opened it. He found that it was actually written in dark elf script.
To ordinary people, the dark elves' writing is like a heavenly book, each word is shaped like a tadpole, completely irregular, and Link doesn't know this thing.
But the strange thing is that when he picked up the letter paper, a message appeared in his field of vision. When he took a closer look, it turned out to be the translation content of the letter paper.
"Philicia, my friend..."
When he saw the name Filidia, Link was shocked. He didn't expect that the black-robed magician turned out to be this guy.
Filidia, a dark elf, a member of the Silvermoon Council, and a genius magician. In the game, his battle of fame took place five years later. Encounter, at that time, Ellette was already the top magic genius of the human race and enjoyed a great reputation.
But in that battle, Felidia and Ailette actually drew a tie, and the aftermath of the battle between the two sides directly doubled the area of Crystal Lake.
Calculating the time, Filidia is also very young, she should only be 23 years old this year. For the dark elves with an average lifespan of 100 years, Filidia and Elette belong to the same age group. At this time, he was already a level 4 magician, worthy of the name of a genius.
'I didn't expect it to be him! Link suddenly realized, no wonder he had the guts to sneak into the vicinity of Hot Spring City to make troubles, it turned out to be a man of high art.
Link continued to read the letter. The first half of the letter contained pleasantries between friends, but in the middle part, key information was revealed. The letter mentioned a place called Howling Cliffs.
This Howling Cliff is the address of Filidia's friend, and from the description in the letter, it seems to be within the Norton Kingdom. In other words, this guy should be Filipia's successor in Norton Kingdom.
"The last time we fought, Filidia was injured. Since he is not in this cave, it is very likely that he is recuperating with this friend. Even if he is not there, if I catch his friend, I should be able to get Filidia. The next clue!"
When Link thought about it, there was information in his field of vision, and after checking, it was mission information.
Complete the task: find clues
The player gets 20 free points.
Start a new mission: Escape
Task content: Escape from the Syndicate's lair and find the Howling Cliffs.
Bonus Points: 50
50 free points? The rewards are very high, but the two goals of this task, whether it is taking out the Syndicate lair or finding the Howling Cliff, are very difficult.
Not to mention escaping from the lair, he is still trapped, there is also legendary magic in it, and there is no one knows what ghosts are hidden in the depths of the cave.
As for the Howling Cliffs, Link has never heard of this place name at all. The Ferroman Continent is so vast, and the Norton Kingdom has a radius of 2,000 kilometers. It is really easy to find some by himself, but Link is not alone. But now they are trapped in the cave, waiting to escape.
He put away the letter paper and the rune scroll on the table, walked towards the bookshelf again, flipped through it, and found that they were all ordinary books, not magic books. Link lost interest, turned his head and said to everyone: " Let's go, keep looking."
The crowd continued to move forward, walked some distance, passed some new stone chambers, and encountered more than 30 syndicate thieves. A dozen of these thieves were burned by Link and others, but burning the corpses was troublesome. Soon, half of the thieves were still resurrected and rushed to the deepest part of the cave.
The strong purpose of these undead made everyone feel more uneasy.
"It's like someone is directing them." Lucy said.
"Is there a necromancer in front? But why didn't he attack us directly?" Anderson reasoned.
Link shook his head: "Guessing is useless, let's go and see. But I think, no matter who the opponent is, his strength is not strong, at least he can't kill us easily, otherwise, he won't Using the labyrinth and resurrecting the undead, let alone wait until now.”
"My lord is right, the other party is also afraid of our power!" Lucy supported Link's statement.
Link's statement made sense, except for Yaksa, everyone else nodded.
Jacques said nothing, not because he had no disagreement, but because he was afraid of being taught a lesson by Anderson.
After walking more than a hundred meters deep into the cave, the group finally entered the deepest part of the cave.
This is a very spacious hall, with a length and width of more than 50 meters. It is basically a large auditorium in the mountains.
In the center of the hall, there is a pure black humanoid statue, covered with a large cloak, shrouded in shadows all over the body, surrounded by circles of white candles with flickering flames on the ground around him, and standing outside one by one The silent undead.
There are quite a few of these undead, about fifty, and they are the ordinary Syndicate thieves who were killed by Link and others before. When they saw Link and his party, the only movement of these undead was to turn around and stay silent Looking at them intently, those eyes that were either cloudy or lifeless made the viewer tremble.
The spacious underground hall, black stone carvings, white candles, and a group of silent dead spirits like pilgrims, these things combined together outline a freehand painting of hell.
Just when Yake and other ordinary soldiers were horrified, the eyes of the human statue in the center of the hall suddenly lit up with a red gleam, and then an evil voice that was neither male nor female resounded in the hall: "Mortal, know What kind of price will you pay for desecrating the holy land? Yes, that is your soul! Well, what a delicious soul~~~”
