Is this... the devil's city
Roland couldn't help but be amazed. He thought that the memory fragments would be connected to a certain decisive battle ground, but he did not expect to have the opportunity to face the enemy's lair. .
But the scene in front of him was very different from the mirage that the Mutual Aid Society had seen before.
At least he looked around and did not find the most conspicuous core main tower, which was the giant obelisk that the witch Taquila said was made of divine stone veins and could grow and create red mist on its own.
After all, there are too many towers here.
And some still stand on the cliff, and most of the towers cantilever outwards, like castles in the sky.
How did such magnificent buildings come to be
In addition, since this city is not the one Ye Ye and the others saw, where would it be
Or is it located in a farther place... like the continent where the rumored devil was born
At this moment, Roland noticed that there seemed to be firelight flickering in the area below the ring pit, close to the surface of the Red Mist Lake.
Unlike the crystal clear fog surface, it seems to be a flame burning in a natural state.
This made him feel a little surprised. Since the red fog can burn, open flames should be banned in the devil's city.
Out of curiosity, he decided to go down to the bottom of the pit to have a look. According to the architectural style of the opening on the cliff, there should be a downward stairway or a hanging basket nearby.
But before he walked 100 meters, Roland suddenly stopped and his muscles tightened!
A group of devils actually walked out of the corner ahead!
Judging from the appearance, they should all be mad demons, with bone armor on their bodies, short spears in their hands, and the two leaders wearing gloves, and their burly stature almost blocked half of his path.
And the distance between the two is less than ten steps away!
Wait, how could there possibly be living things in the memory fragments
He hadn't seen a single Judgment Army or a church priest when he was wandering around in the Cathedral of Hermes!
This accident caught Roland off guard, and he didn't know how to react.
run away
He had seen the strength and precision of the madman throwing a spear, and giving his back to the enemy was undoubtedly a self-defeating approach.
Rush up to dry them
The power of the dream world is still running in his body. At this moment, his skills are far superior to ordinary people, but compared with these murderous monsters, his fighting skills are basically still at the level of fighting. One-on-one may be able to do it, one person with six Only madmen fight? He felt that the chance of winning was slim, especially the leading Iron Hand Devil, whose powerful electric shock ability was definitely the nemesis of melee combatants.
However, before he could make a decision, something surprising happened again.
The devil didn't seem to notice the presence of the uninvited guest, but walked past him on his own, without even pausing.
Roland was stunned for a while, then turned around subconsciously and reached out to touch the arm of the last madman.
The fingers passed through its skin, but the fingertips did not feel any touch, as if they were touching a phantom.
So... is that so
He withdrew his hand thoughtfully, leaning over and pressing on the ground.
This time, the palm clearly felt the dampness from the black soil eroded by the red mist.
Roland had an answer in his heart.
It seems that the will to resist of the devoured can not only determine the scope of the memory fragments, but also affect the things displayed in the scene. Obviously, the content saved in this memory is much more than that left by Zero.
Thinking along this line of thought, he couldn't help but have two new doubts in his mind.
One is the church warriors who deliberately sacrificed their lives to feed Zero, how rich their memory can be. Is it possible to talk to the dead after entering
The other is how strong is Zero's sense of resistance or the hatred and unwillingness after losing to him? Actually compared to the devil.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had the urge to go back and hang up the little guy at home and spank him.
Roland took a deep breath, put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and stepped up to his destination.
…
As he had imagined, there were many ramps and stone stairs leading to the bottom of the pit on the edge of the ring-shaped cliff, and some of them were built very spaciously, not at all inferior to the main road of Neverwinter.
The further down he went, the deeper he felt about the breadth of the Red Mist Lake.
Even if the upper half of the Western Snow Mountain was flattened, it would probably be nothing more than that. Standing on the Banpo, he couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance, the world seemed to be moving away from him, leaving only the surging fog columns and the cantilevered stone towers looming in the fog.
It's hard to imagine that this sinkhole formed naturally.
What is even more incredible is that the devil has transformed this place into his own permanent residence.
In the end, it would take hundreds of years to carve out a ring-pit passage large enough for horses and carts to pass, and lay a layer of hard black glittering stone
If you use this to measure the devil's technical level and social organization, no matter how you look at it, it is an extremely difficult enemy.
Today's human beings do not have the possibility of winning by chance. To win the battle of divine will, the four kingdoms must go all out.
As he got closer to the firelight, Roland noticed that the demons on the road were getting denser.
They don't all carry weapons, and most of them wear animal skins or cloth robes, and their appearance and body shape are even more varied. It's hard to imagine that these guys are of the same species just by looking at them.
Pasha's information also mentioned that the Federation had captured some deformed devils with no magic power and low combat power, but at that time it was uncertain whether they were a kind of devil or a vassal race enslaved by devils.
However, Roland did not find the existence of superior demons similar to supervisors around, and their actions seemed to be completely spontaneous, which meant that the answer should be that the former was correct.
This kind of separation seems to be more thorough than the division of witches, not only in ability, but also in form.
It's just that it's not clear whether they are born with the same origin, or are they born separately, and there is never a possibility of change
Are the devils male and female
Or, their reproduction situation is completely different from that of humans, and it is impossible to generalize
With this guess, Roland finally reached the bottom of the ring pit.
He found that the source of the fire came from a roaring bonfire and saw a suspended stone bridge sticking out from the side of the rock wall, which was connected to a circular island in the Red Mist Lake.
Although it is an island, there is no support below it, as if it is directly lifted by a slender stone bridge, which makes people worry that it may fall. The bonfire is erected around the isolated island. When the fog column rises, a bright flame tip will appear above the flame, as if echoing the roar of the fog lake, sometimes even as high as ten meters. This is also Roland on the top of the cliff. You can notice the reason for the flickering below.
It seems that although the red mist can burn, it is not a gas.
There are also tens of thousands of devils gathered around here. They densely occupy all the ramps, platforms and caves on the rock wall. The colorful pennants flutter up and down with the changing winds, and the roars and calls of unknown meaning are almost overwhelmed. The roar of the airflow at the bottom of the cave.
Roland couldn't help blinking.
The devil is... holding a ceremony
