"Here are the stairs." Ryan looked up at the huge towering spiral cylinder in the distance. It was made entirely of sand and stone. It was no different from the peaks in the human world, except that the peaks in the human world were wider at the bottom, and the farther they went, the higher they were. It gets narrower as it goes up, and the diameter of the stairs in front of Ryan has almost not changed at all. Although it is still dozens of kilometers away from the stairs, Ryan can still feel its thickness. I'm afraid it would mean moving the entire Cassano area. Come here, you can also stuff it into the inside of the ladder flatly.
"Yes, this is the passage connecting different abyss." Astarot explained to Ryan. He now wears a magic mask, so he has become a dark elf, and his identity is the guard captain of the entire caravan. , after arriving at the territory of the Rakshasa demon, he will be responsible for all matters, so as to prevent Ryan and the others from being exposed because they are not familiar with the situation.
Ryan, Faras and others all wore magic masks made by Ryan himself. They all had different images, but they were all creatures that existed in the Netherworld. They looked as if they were hired by the entire plane caravan when they were doing business. , there are so many such caravans in the Netherworld. Unless you know in advance what Ryan and the others are pretending to be, it is almost impossible to find them among the tens of thousands of caravans.
"Remember, our caravan encountered a large group of robbers on the way, and all the goods we transported were lost. We tried our best to protect the owner of the caravan and escaped, but unfortunately the owner was frightened and remained unconscious. ." Astarot warned: "The territory of the Rakshasa demon is full of powerful warriors and mages, but there is a very lack of healing priests. Even if there are, they are almost all shadow priests who are good at attacking. In this way, we can legitimately pass the teleportation. The magic circle arrives in another world, and we go to the larger city over there to find the priest."
"Okay, I'll leave everything to you." Ryan nodded, and then he made a gesture to let the Queen of Blades, who was disguised as a Rakshasa demon, lie on the stretcher. As the leader of the caravan, the Queen of Blades had to pretend Zuo lay unconscious on a stretcher and was carried by Reynolds, who was disguised as a minotaur, and Alando, who was disguised as an ogre in the city. These two races are very strong and simple-minded guys. Doing this Hard work is the most suitable,
After the group of people disguised themselves, they walked towards the "stairs" in the distance. Since they could no longer fly forward, it would be much slower to just rely on walking. It took Ryan and his group several hours to walk up to the "stairs." " Below, Ryan raised his head and glanced at the top of the stairs. With his current strength, he could not see the edge of the other end at a glance. For fear of exposing a flaw, Ryan did not dare to look more, and then withdrew his gaze and followed the stretcher. move on,
"Stop, who are you and what are you doing here?" A tiefling voice rang, and then a dozen tiefling soldiers holding various weapons appeared in front of Ryan and his party. Before arriving, Ryan and the others I have heard Astarot talk about the situation here, and I know that these tiefling soldiers are used to guard the entrance and exit of the "stairs". They can not only warn other abyss when they come over, but also collect toll taxes. It was also a considerable amount of income for the former lord Kuze.
"We are from the earth giant caravan, and we are going back to Birag City." The male dark elf disguised as Astarot stood up, with a look of disdain on his face. This is the sign of every person of his own bloodline. They are all proud, and at the same time, the expression that a dark elf with sufficient strength must have,
The one who came forward was a dark elf who had reached the legendary realm. The tiefling soldiers did not dare to do anything too extreme, but the leader still opened his mouth and said: "How many of you are there in total?"
"Eleven." Astaroth replied,
"Okay, according to the order of Lord Kuze, Lord of the Earth's Core Abyss, each person must pay a toll tax of one hundred gold coins." Captain Tieflin roughly clicked. Ryan and the others were only a few in number, so they could see it at a glance. After he finished, he opened his palm and said to Astarot: "You must be a caravan that travels frequently. Please pay, 1,100 gold coins, or use goods to offset the price, but if you use goods, it will only be calculated at 70% of the market value. "
"I know." Astarot took out his storage bag from his arms, pulled out a magic beast and threw it over. After the tiefling captain caught the magic core, Astarot said: "Our goods were intercepted on the road, and the underground dwarf in charge of the money died. Let's use this level 5 magic core to replace it."
The tiefling captain knew the goods well. He looked carefully and saw that this magic core was indeed a level 5 wind magic core. If it was sold, 2,000 gold coins would definitely be indispensable. When the time came, he would still need it. He could enrich his personal pockets a little, so he waved his subordinates to get out of the way with a smile on his face, and then said to Astarot: "You go in."
After watching the disguised Ryan and his entourage step into the "stairs", other tiefling soldiers immediately gathered around. Each of them looked at the magic core in their captain's hand with greedy eyes, hoping that the captain would be able to enrich himself. Leave it to yourself. Upon seeing this, the tiefling captain first collected the magic core, and then said in a puzzled tone: "It's strange, how come there is only one caravan coming here in the past few days? Look, They look like they have lost the battle. Could it be that after Lord Kuze died, fighting for position started again in the territory."
Ryan and his party slowly walked up the "stairs" in a circle. Since the space inside the stairs was very wide, Ryan and the others did not feel too dizzy. It was more like walking around in a dwarf underground city. Thinking that Astarot had said before that such a "ladder" could allow a hundred thousand legions to pass smoothly with military supplies in less than a day, Ryan was relieved.
After walking continuously for six hours, Ryan suddenly realized that something was wrong, because according to Astarot, these "stairs" were passages connecting the Earth's Core Abyss and the Multipolar Abyss, but for such a long time they were completely It was a bit strange that no one else was seen passing by. Astarot guessed Ryan's thoughts and whispered: "Kuze's favorite thing is to rob caravans, so there are almost no caravans." He came to the Heart Abyss for trade, but the most important purpose of Kuze here is to block the expansion of the Rakshasa demon or the dark elves. As long as he can pay tribute, we don't bother to care about him."
Ryan rolled his eyes at Astaroth and thought, no wonder the entire Earth Core Abyss looks so barren. It turns out that you also know that it was caused by Kuze's scratching. No wonder the Dark Elf Army conquered Kuze so quickly. The castle did not have enough reserves of supplies and unified command, coupled with the overwhelming offensive of the dark elves, it would be strange not to be defeated on the spot.
