Chapter 122 Admission
For An, she is still looking forward to this banquet. After all, this is a banquet in a different world. She also hopes to experience the exotic customs. However...
"Ugh...Why do you come here..."
Standing in the smelly sewer, An was about to despair.
"Of course it's for fighting. You don't really think we will go to the banquet today."
Looking at An curled up in his arms, Duanmu Huai chuckled. Just like Duanmu Huai said, although they were invited, Duanmu Huai had no intention of attending the banquet from beginning to end. The reason is also very simple. With his physique, he attracts attention everywhere, and it is impossible to do anything secretly.
Besides, today's banquet venue will definitely be a bloody dinner, and Duanmu Huai will not join in the fun.
Compared with those dishes that are not known to be poisoned or cursed, the most important thing now is to solve the following troubles as soon as possible. Fortunately, through the reconnaissance of the Servo Skull, Duanmu Huai had already obtained the map of the entire royal city, and naturally planned a route forward.
Of course, this route is difficult for most people to accept.
"Woooooooooooo..."
"Okay, now is not the time to lose your temper, let's do it."
Duanmuhuai comforted An, and then immediately started to take action.
Although the sewers in the royal city are safe, they are not without obstacles. It's just an ordinary place. The sewer facilities in places like the Royal City naturally have to pay attention to safety. Therefore, the sewer facilities in such places will be sealed with arm-thick iron railings, and even magic seals will be applied to prevent them from being destroyed.
For ordinary people, this is obviously difficult to break through, but now...
"Woo woo woo..."
Although he looked frustrated, An still obeyed Duanmuhuai's words and broke the magic seal at the sewer entrance. Then Duanmuhuai walked to the entrance of the sewer, stretched out his hand to grab the iron railing that was almost as thick as an ordinary person's arm, and pulled hard!
“Squeak————!!”
The next moment, the thick and hard iron pillar began to become soft and twisted like noodles in Duanmuhuai's hands. After pulling hard to create a big hole, Duanmuhuai walked in first, followed by Ogis, An and the elf princess. Finally, he entered the sewer of the Royal City and started walking all the way down.
For players, there is nothing special about the sewers in the game. At least in the game, apart from sewage and some monsters, sewers are nothing worth paying attention to. But in real sewers, this is obviously not the case.
The smell of putrefaction filled the entire sewer, and all kinds of filth, food waste, and even rotting corpses floated on the dark green sewage...
"Woo...!!!"
After An Zai entered the sewer, he huddled in Duanmu Huai's arms, not daring to look outside. Ogis also sat on Duanmuhuai's shoulders as always. Even the elf princess grabbed Duanmuhuai's cloak with one hand and lay on his back. Although she didn't speak, she firmly showed that she didn't want to see it. I don't want to touch these filth.
What can I say about Duanmu Huai now? It’s just like that song...
There is a chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand, and a fat baby on the back...
If Duanmu Huai hadn't been tall enough, he wouldn't be able to carry three people, right?
The whole sewer is also full of stench, and ordinary people will faint immediately after staying here for a long time. Fortunately, Duanmuhuai was wearing a full set of enclosed power armor and was not worried about this problem. An and the Elf Princess cast air-purifying spells on themselves almost as quickly as possible. As for Ogis, the doll didn't need to breathe at all.
But because of this, there are no guard handles or guards here. Even the cultists who are causing trouble below will not come here to die, so the group's actions did not encounter any obstacles. After breaking through several sewer openings with unstoppable momentum, Duanmuhuai and his party finally arrived at the end of the sewer.
Ancient sewer facilities were different from modern ones, and issues of flow and drainage must also be taken into consideration. The sewage facilities in the Imperial City use underground water sources as power to bring waste out of the Imperial City and discharge it into underground cavities and rivers. And if the location of the dimension stone that Duanmu Huai felt was correct, then it should be at the source of the underground waterway.
"What do you think?"
"Duanmuhuai looked around again, and then looked at the two "magic consultants." When the two heard Duanmuhuai's words, they couldn't help but think about it. Soon, the Elf Princess put forward her own ideas.
"Perhaps they plan to use the water flow to pollute the entire city? Evil God believers often do this kind of thing. If the water flow here has the same source as the underground sewer, then the spiritual energy will also pollute the water flow in the underground sewer, thus affecting other people."< br>
"However, I can feel the intense operation of a large amount of magic below. Perhaps the water flow is used to cool down the high temperature generated when the magic is released."
An also put forward her own opinion. She didn't know much about the followers of the evil god, but in terms of sensing the operation of magic power, An's ability was beyond the reach of even the elf princess. For Duanmuhuai, this is also very important.
"The intense movement of magic power? Is it dangerous?"
"Of course, the magic power below is very unstable... Well, maybe it's because the person who controls the magic is not good enough? If you are not careful, it is very likely that the magic power will get out of control and cause an explosion."
"How powerful is it?"
"Destroying the entire royal city will definitely not be a problem."
After hearing An's answer, Duanmuhuai thought for a moment and then looked at An.
"An, suppose we rush over now and the magic power is out of control. How sure are you that you can handle it?"
"Huh? Well... no more than one minute at most."
"Is it too late?"
"You can use Colettes magic to maintain a stable form. First stabilize it, and then..."
As she spoke, An stretched out her fingers and drew a bunch of arithmetic formulas in the air like solving high numbers, and then she nodded.
"No problem, sure."
"Very good."
Hearing An's answer, Duanmu Huai nodded, then he took out the thunder hammer and held it in his hand.
"Then everyone, listen up, the plan is very simple. Now we have to rush directly to the water source to secure the dimension stone. An, while I attract the attention of those guys, you will directly seize control of the magic power. Others You don’t have to worry about anything. Ogis, you are responsible for protecting Her Royal Highness Princess, do you understand?”
"I know."
"Understood, Master."
"Okay."
After hearing Duanmuhuai's order, the three of them nodded, and then Duanmuhuai turned around and looked forward.
"Then.........do it!!"
As soon as the words fell, Duanmu Huai flew forward directly.
In the dim sewer, a huge figure wearing pitch-black armor seemed to be as silent as a ghost, running forward at a fast speed. This is not because Duanmu Huai is fast enough, but because he uses the power of the "gravity gloves" - gloves that can freely control gravity, and can naturally be used on himself. As long as the gravity on your body is reduced, the speed will naturally increase. This can be regarded as a method of using gravity gloves developed by Duanmu Huai. Just increasing and reducing gravity can bring about various effects. It is truly a player's artifact.
It was precisely because of it that Duanmuhuai was able to fly past as lightly and nimbly as a cat, making almost no sound... When the soldiers guarding the water source realized that something was wrong, Duanmuhuai had already appeared. within their field of vision.
“Who?!”
The guarding soldiers roared and raised their weapons, but at the same time, Duanmu Huai reached out his hand towards them and grabbed hard!
The invisible gravity changed its direction instantly, pulling the guarding soldiers and the closed iron door behind them at the same time. The soldiers screamed and swung their bodies. However, at this moment, they were not flying forward, but vertically towards the abyss. fall. Therefore, they could only watch in despair as they "fell" in front of the terrifying black monster, and then - the warhammer swung.
"Boom!!!"
The sweeping war hammer instantly knocked the heavily armed soldiers away. Their bodies and limbs were twisted and deformed under the impact, and they fell to the ground again together with the heavy iron door. At the same time, Duanmuhuai had already rushed into the water source.
Different from the filth in the sewer, the water source is unusually clear. Located in the center of the huge hollow, the water constantly pours out of the circular pond carved out of white stone and pours down the river. At the same time, Duanmuhuai also saw a huge dimensional stone located in the center of the water source - it was the dimensional stone that he dug out from the slums of Mordheim and was located at the center of the fall.
At this moment, this dimensional stone is standing in the center of the water source, exuding dazzling magic light, and around the crystal, there are nine rings with strange graphics and text. At the same time, there were nine followers of the evil god wearing black robes standing in the ring.
It's just that... the current situation seems a bit strange.
I saw the energy erupting from the center of the dimension stone turned into a lightning-like beam, hitting the nine believers. At this moment, the nine believers were twitching desperately as if they were suffering from epilepsy. It looked like someone was forcing her to dance disco.
What's going on?
Duanmu Huai's question was quickly answered.
"Sure enough, the magic is out of control!!"
An, who rushed in shortly after, saw this scene and screamed hurriedly, while Duanmuhuai looked at her.
"Out of control?"
"Yes, they should have tried to use these nine circular magic circles to stabilize and disperse the powerful magic power bursting out from the middle, but they didn't succeed. Now they have been completely entangled with this power! That's it! It’s like someone being hit by electricity, unable to separate at all”
"Oh————"
After taking a look at the stone powder next to the circular array, Duanmuhuai suddenly understood. Obviously, these evil god believers used dimensional stones to arrange the magic circle in an attempt to stabilize the magic power. However, these dimensional stones have actually been replaced by Duanmu Huai with superficial stones, and the stones - obviously have no ability to absorb magic power.
So these idiots got out of their way hahahahahaha.
"Can you absorb it?"
Duanmuhuai laughed at the stupidity of these evil god believers deep in his heart, and then immediately turned to the topic.
"Of course, but it will take some time!"
As she spoke, An walked to the pond at the water source. Then she took out the magic book that she never left from her waist, held it high, and then opened the pages of the magic book. Accompanied by the chanting, a shining magic circle soon appeared out of thin air, completely enveloping the entire magic light ball, and the source of the originally boiling and rolling magic began to gradually subside.
"Huh..."
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not as knowledgeable as An, he had studied at Manalia Magic Academy. When he saw this, he knew that the boiling magic power had begun to settle down.
However... Duanmuhuai was quite speechless as he looked at the believers who fell to the ground like mummies. 9 seems to be the number of the god of deceit. In other words, these idiots used conspiracy and tricks to bring the three princes together to kill each other, and then they performed evil magic below to benefit the fishermen. In the end, because they had no Thinking that the Dimensional Stone was replaced by stone but failed, the plan failed, and he also took it in - hahahaha, this really seems like the usual style of the idiot believers of the God of Deception.
However, things are not over yet.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be quite fast."
At this moment, suddenly, a voice came from outside. Duanmu Huai turned around and saw that the witch hunter had appeared there at some unknown time. His dress was no different from before. Duanmuhuai stared at him and waved his hand.
"Long time no see, I thought you were dead."
"Hahaha, fortunately...I didn't..."
However, before the witch hunter finished speaking, Duanmu Huai suddenly raised his hand and grabbed him. In an instant, invisible gravity bound the witch hunter's body, suppressing him in place. The next moment, the witch hunter suddenly let out a scream, and then turned into a puddle of sticky, pink fleshy balls that looked like monsters with arms and legs. It shook its body desperately, opened its mouth wide, and let out a piercing scream.
"You, how did you..."
"Don't come by such a coincidence next time, otherwise people will easily suspect you have a problem."
Duanmuhuai stared coldly at the demon in front of him, then clenched his right hand tightly. The next moment, the demon exploded and then disappeared into the air.
Seeing this scene, the Elf Princess also looked at Duanmu Huai in surprise.
"How do you know it's a demon?"
Of course the Elf Princess knows what the little pink monster is. It is the Pink Horror, the demon of the deceitful god. It can transform into any objectively existing entity. In fact, what this kind of little pink person is best at is jumping behind enemy lines and camouflage tasks. Even for elves, it is difficult for them to tell who is the transformed pink fear monster. .
"Experience, and it couldn't have come at a better time."
Looking at the ground in front of him, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. He even suspected that the witch hunter who was originally in Mordheim was probably the Pink Terror. But it doesn't matter. The reason why Duanmuhuai doubts this witch hunter is very simple. He has never told the witch hunter about his plan, but the other party appears here by such a coincidence... Well, for Duanmu Huai Say, this is enough.
This is also the reason why players trust soul cards more. After all, you don’t know whether the NPC that has been following you is a little fan disguised, and then suddenly jumps out at a certain time to give you a knife, and then in "I'm sorry, I'm an undercover agent" said in your ear......
However, things don't end there.
Because Duanmuhuai has discovered through the reconnaissance servo skull that a large group of life reactions are rushing towards here in a menacing manner.
Obviously, from the looks of them, these guys have bad intentions.
"Ogis."
Duanmuhuai clenched his war hammer, strode to the door, and blocked the exit.
"Protect An, and let me deal with it here!"
There are only two updates in the past few days, you know the reason
