The Amber Sword

Chapter 592: Requiem (4)

Views:

Whether it is Vaughan or our world, there are more or less such unnoticeable corners on the battlefield throughout the ages. It is like a blind spot forgotten by the eyes of the gods. No matter how fierce the battle there is, or what weird things happen, it seems like a vacuum within the thinking range of the commanders of the two warring parties. Someone will look at it more. At the Hafemeli Fortress at the east gate of Ampersel-this fortress was built around 1400 in the chaotic era. It is an elf-like fortress, but it seems to have been blessed or cursed since its birth. Every war is far away from it. When Eke faced the barbarians, the lord of the mountain people Shaminmin,'Razor' Sihad four times let go of the open east and circled the long road to attack the South Gate of Ampersel. Later, in the fight against Madara's first invasion in the Dark Tide, the Bone Lord once again let go of this ancient fortress. So today, the princess party and the northern nobles seem to have agreed that there will be nothing to do with the fortress of Hafemeli. After the devil invaded the city, the whole city was boiling like porridge, but the northeast corner is still as silent as death, for a fortress built to deal with the war. Say, it's really hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

But after 700 years of wind and rain, this fortress that has almost never experienced warfare is still a bit old after all, moss has grown on the battlements, and the city walls have become a kind of black with a heavy sense of history in the wind and rain. green. The only difference between it and other cities is that no scars can be found on the three-hundred-meter-long city section, and there is no sign of the difference between the old and the new after repair. There are no more human soldiers in the fortress at this moment, but piles of harpy squeezed on the battlements noisily, or hovering in the heavy rain—but the Hong Kong Guards evacuated by themselves, and the Fort Hafemeli was lucky. Land missed the opportunity to fight.

The harpy is watching from the sky. A large pit with a diameter of over a hundred meters is gradually taking shape. Hundreds of cavemen are digging in a mud puddle rather than a construction site. Of course, you have to say that it is also a struggle. It is not a wise thing to do anything in such stormy weather. Two of the worst things are pit digging and war. Although the cavemen set up many shelves to stabilize the walls under the command of the warlock underground in Qiao Gendigang, collapses still occurred from time to time. Fortunately, the life of the caveman was insignificant. Lord Stark didn’t care about the death of one, a hundred or a thousand cavemen. It made no difference to him. The only difference was how many gold coins were spent, caveman. People in Qiaogendigang have strong underground reproductive power, and often only a small piece of land can be exchanged for an entire army. As long as he digs out that thing within the time limit, no matter how much loss he suffers, he can be repaid.

From time to time, there are throbbing feelings in the underground. Ordinary people often think that it is a premonition before the arrival of a bad omen, but wizards who are proficient in magic can immediately tell that it is the dark magic flowing underground and eroding the world of order. The ripples produced by the lines of the sky—of course, it is not a good thing for ordinary people—but in Stark’s view, it is like a box of gold exuding the mellow smell of wine in the ground. No, not a box, but a whole hundred boxes, even according to the words of the demons from the bottom of the river of sulfur: a hundred boxes of gold is not worth the value of that thing, it cannot be based on the stupid values of the world Measured existence. However, the demons are short-sighted in rejecting mortals, and Stark is just as contemptuous of the values of demons.

Baby that can't be measured by gold? Isn't it just worthless? It shook its huge cow's head and sniffed at it. I Stark looked down on the worthless things.

But this time he should have finally found the right place. Stark could smell the dark magic'stuck' with his nose, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The cavemen under his staff have caused him a lot of trouble. In fact, until now, the collapse under the pit has been happening uninterruptedly. The troglodytes had to take time to transport more corpses of the troglodytes in order to prevent them from being blocked and becoming part of the new landfill, as it is now, and within a moment there was a noise from below. the sound of. what happened again? Collapsed again? Can't they do it well? Tauren Lord Stark didn't even consider the fact that Qiao Gendigang never rains. He only made up his mind that if the cavemen trouble him again, he must teach them a profound lesson. Throw them in its favorite maze, which is one of Stark's most proud of. Even the clever and beautiful Medusa Lady Lesmeca could not find an exit.

But after that time, Lesmeca immediately turned it into stone for two hours. She actually said that he was cheating and didn't build a door to the maze. But this is also the tauren's cunning strategy, isn't it? Stark is deeply troubled by not being favored by the beautiful lady, why no one appreciates his wit. When he thought of Lesmeca, his indifferent and beautiful face suddenly appeared in his mind. It was as vivid as the truth, but Stark immediately realized that it was true because he saw it. A beautiful lady Medusa walked out of the rain.

"So, what happened again, I heard a mess from above." Lesmeka asked a little displeased: "Is it because you grow your head so big to balance your body? Stark?"

Hearing what Lesmeca said, the tauren lord Stark showed a simple smile. This expression that can basically be judged as a smirk completely destroyed its vicious expression-can you imagine a cow smirking? What Ms. Medusa saw was such a respectful face. She frowned, probably guessing that the silly big guy couldn't tell a single reason, so she simply pushed him away with her hand and looked at the bottom of the pit for herself. She immediately saw that a spectacle seemed to be happening under the pit, and saw a large group of cavemen screaming like mice in a pot, rushing up the upward ramp from the bottom of the pit. It felt like there was a cat besides the rat in the bottom of the pot.

"What are you doing!" Lesmeca almost went mad. If she hadn't had a trace of sanity, she would have looked back at that bastard Stark and turned it into a stone sculpture forever. That stone sculpture must be as mighty as Minotaur, the legendary lord of the tauren, and since then no one knows how stupid this guy is. This is the most important thing.

But it was a pity that the caveman could not answer her.

"What are you doing!"

When I heard this scream that was not inferior to the sea monster’s screaming through the rain, our business lady was turning into a black cat with the help of the white mist, and a cloud of black smoke rose. From the smoke, the kitten with golden pupils stepped out of the smoke. She seemed to be curious about this form, but for the witch to transform into a magical animal was actually a full-time spell, Bai Wu didn't tell her—she would get used to it all soon.

Bai Wu looked at Roman curiously licking the left paw, then looked at the right paw, stretched out the paw to scratch the ear, and then wagged his tail. She couldn't stand it anymore, and turned into a circle of white mist around her. By his side, the left back turned into a white bow tie tied behind the businessman's eldest lady's neck. "Come on, it seems chaotic below, now is a good time." Bai Wu said in the usual weak tone.

Only then did Roman walk out of the grass and quietly came to the edge of the pit.

A pot of porridge was in chaos under the pit, and it was unknown whether a larger-scale collapse occurred or something happened. The caveman was screaming and fleeing upwards. There is no brotherhood between these creatures from Qiaogendigang's underground. They fight with each other just to get the first step-if you can, you can leave your companions behind. Lasmeka turned several cavemen who rushed into the pit into stone in a rage, and didn’t ask why. At this time, naturally no one would pay attention to the movement around the pit, or no one would have seen it at all. There is a cat by the pit. Of course, in fact, only Stark and Lesmeca were the only ones who could see.

Roman lightly stepped on the scaffolding and jumped all the way to the bottom of the pit, like a real kitten. He sighed after seeing the white mist, thinking that the business lady was better than a cat. However, she suddenly felt that, compared to Roman’s curiosity, perhaps it is said that the cat with nine lives is really her destiny. If there is a reincarnation in the world of Vaughan, Bai Wu might think that Roman has cast the wrong child. . However, she was distracted for a little while, and the merchant lady had already avoided several groups of cavemen. She dexterously landed on a reinforced board, widened the golden-yellow pupils, and looked towards the bottom of the pit, "White mist and white mist, look, what is that!"

Bai Wu'looked down', and immediately saw a dozen strange creatures hunting down the caveman in front. It is a strange creature because it looks a bit like a spider, but in her extensive knowledge, there is absolutely no spider covered in sharp crystals. If she hadn't seen the bare limbs, she would almost think it was a few huge crystals chasing and hunting underneath. "Ah, it's a crystal cluster!" she cried out.

"Crystal cluster, what is that?" Roman asked curiously.

At this time, a few crystal clusters were close to the surface, and they were very fierce and bloodthirsty. Many cavemen have lost their lives under their minions, but it is a bit creepy that they are obviously not killing cavemen for hunting. These clusters simply kill the cavemen and then throw their bodies at On the one hand, it seems as if experience has been formed after professional training or thousands of repetitions.

On the ground, Ms. Medusa Lasmeka finally noticed these uninvited guests, "Is it a guard?" She muttered, then dropped the lucky caveman in her hand, and threw it under the pit.

She took the short bow from her waist, aimed at the crystal clusters, one arrow at a time, and shot back at the front two ends. The combat power shown by the few crystal clusters is very strong, about the level of the first level of gold. The cavemen weren't their opponents at all, and Lesmeca tentatively realized that he had encountered a tricky opponent.

"Crystal clusters are crystal clusters, let's continue to take a look." Under the pit, Bai Wu was using her unique way to answer questions to Roman.

"Will they kill Roman?" Roman asked a little nervously.

"No, I am here." Bai Wu replied simply.

The merchant eldest nodded her head, dart down, and landed steadily to the other side of the bottom of the pit. Only then did the two'people' realize how deep the bottom of the pit was—the bottom of the pit had actually been dug through, and artificial traces began to appear below. It should be a ruin, there are many holes that can lead to the underground of the black hole.

The two randomly found an entrance and went in. There is no caveman in the ruins at this moment, and no new crystal clusters can be seen. Apart from the sound of rain and water, they seem a little lonely. In fact, after entering the depths of the ruins, the sound of practicing rain gradually decreased, and the outline of a huge existence gradually emerged in the darkness.

"Ah!" Bai Wu exclaimed again.

"What's wrong?"

Roman hurried forward and looked up curiously. She saw that the huge outline gradually became clear in her field of vision, and then outlined the appearance of a head—to be precise, it should be part of a huge stone statue. Or according to Roman's understanding-it's a bit like the product of the marble statues used to decorate the fir castle magnified a thousand times.

However, the facial lines of the stone statue are very tough, and they don't look like modern humans, but more like being shaped by races other than humans. It's just that Roman took a look, and he didn't have a big beard or pointed ears. It's not a dwarf, or an elf, she commented quite knowingly.

"What is this, Bai Mist?"

"... The Titan Colossus, I didn't expect it to be here... I didn't expect it to be here..." Bai Wu muttered to herself, if she could widen her eyes, this listless woman must have her eyes widened right now.

Brando listened, the rustling voice in the darkness was getting closer and closer. But that will never be the noise made by the spider mother, it will not make such a loud noise-although the spider mother is a behemoth in itself, she acts very lightly and is a lurking hunter.

Recalling the original expedition experience, Brando is still fresh in his memory.

Everyone stopped. The knights all put their hands on their swords, but they did not draw their swords. This was also a technique learned from Brando. At some point, drawing the sword first is not to take the lead, but to expose one's position to the opponent, especially when facing unknown enemies.

Brando was very satisfied with the actions of others. He was the first to see those unexpected guests who suddenly appeared.

The first thing that appeared in the darkness was a floating gleam, which seemed to reflect the dim light of the illuminating crystal in his hand. Then he saw clearly what it was—a creature made of crystals, which should be a spider in shape.

But they are no longer spiders.

"Crystal cluster?" Brando was slightly startled, why is there such a thing here? There should be no such monsters in this dungeon. Besides, there is a reason for any kind of monsters among the ambers to appear somewhere, just like the wind elements below the Mar Heights, and they will definitely not stop by.

The monsters like crystal clusters are very special, Brando has only seen them in a few places, and each time there are not many.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind for an instant. But the reaction was quick, the body's center of gravity sank, and the sword of the earth appeared in his hands.

"Ready to fight!" Her Royal Highness whispered from behind him. The knights drew their swords together.
