Chapter 687 A remarkable place
The news of the official opening of the Lost Land territory quickly spread throughout the surrounding territories.
Everyone has actually been interested in this mysterious territory for a long time, especially after reading the reports of other investigation teams. Many forces have sent envoys to the Lost Land to try to deal with this emerging force called the Tribunal. .
However... they didn't even enter the gate of the Lost Land.
The entire Lost Land is completely surrounded, just like the walls built by a construction company during construction, completely preventing others from entering. It is announced that construction work is currently underway inside the Lost Land and will be officially opened after everything is over. .
It has to be said that this answer confused many forces. After all, according to the common practice in Faerûn, the construction of a territory requires a large amount of resources and transactions. Therefore, they wanted to get a share of the pie in advance, but they failed. Thinking that people are actually playing with themselves behind closed doors... and according to the observations of these envoys, they did not see a large amount of materials being transported into the Lost Land, so what are they doing inside?
No one knew all this, because the tall guardrail completely surrounded the entire Lost Land, completely blocking everyone's view. Of course, there are also some less sophisticated organizations that try to use magic or send some spies to conduct investigations, but the result... of course, they find nothing.
The only thing they could see was the silhouette of the huge metal church complex in the distance inside the Lost Land.
But now, this territory has finally taken off its mysterious veil and revealed its true face.
"Hey, are we really going to that damn place?"
Sitting on the carriage, Brook looked uneasily at his companions. They were originally residents of Waterdeep City and opened a small shop there. But then someone targeted them, forcing them to leave Waterdeep and live elsewhere, and Brooke's boss made the decision to go to the Lost Land.
"Of course, Brooke, you stupid pig."
Driving the carriage, Kelion whistled.
"You know? It's an unexplored territory, which means we can find a lot of work there! People can't live without eating, sleeping, wearing clothes, or using tools! Our Chamber of Commerce will definitely be there There will be great potential!”
"I don't think so."
However, compared to Kelly's high spirits, Brooke looked gloomy.
"Those big businessmen must have taken over the good places long ago. Maybe our final fate is to set up stalls on the street."
"Oh, shut up, things haven't reached that point yet."
Hearing Brooke's usual negative answer, Kellyon glared at his brother fiercely.
"We will definitely be able to make a comeback here, and by then we will become rich! Giant businessmen!"
"It could also be a corpse lying in a smelly ditch, a beggar on the roadside..."
"………………"
Kellyon had nothing to say, so he had to retract his gaze and look in front of him again.
"Okay, no matter what you say, we are almost there... Oh my god... By the gods!"
When Kellyn looked forward again, the carriage also turned the last bend, and at this moment, a huge metal door with a height of dozens of meters came directly into his eyes, which almost stopped Kelly. En was shocked.
Although Kelion had seen a lot of things in Waterdeep City, he could swear that he had never seen such a spectacular sight. The huge metal iron gate erected in the center of the valley area entering the Lost Land is as tall as a castle. The gate is closed at the moment. Instead, the two side doors on both sides of the gate pillar are open to welcome guests from the outside world. Everyone formed a long queue and were preparing to enter this territory.
"This is too exaggerated..."
Seeing this, Kelien swallowed. Generally speaking, territories would only build gates and walls in their main cities. However, this force called the Tribunal was so terrifying that it surrounded the entire territory. , how much supplies are needed! Especially that door, it should not be made of gold, but of copper, but...a door made of copper? Where did so much copper come from?
Well, Duanmu Huai said to this, if I don't refine copper, how can I enrich the country and strengthen the army... Okay, I'm going too far.
It has to be said that this gate itself is enough to become a luxurious and magnificent scenery. The closer it is, the more Kelion feels trembling. This heavy metal door is engraved with a huge golden skull pattern, and there is a circle of golden gears around the skull, and behind it are the signs of a double-headed eagle and a war hammer. On both sides of the door, there are also extremely tall, wearing The warrior in giant armor, holding a long sword in his hand and with wings on his back was standing there, staring coldly at the arrival of this group of uninvited guests.
Frankly speaking, just seeing this door and the sculptures on both sides is enough to make people feel a terrible sense of oppression, which is enough to prove that this territory itself is not a warm and hospitable place.
But what puzzles Kelion even more is the word "Arkham" written on the door - is this the name of this city? Or the name of the territory?
"We should get out of here."
Brooke almost whined.
"This is not the place we should be at all. God bless you, this is simply a hell that only devils come to! Look, there are so many people in front of us. They are wearing gold and silver. They must be wealthy businessmen. Compared with them, we They are just two little pawns. Brother, it’s still too late. Let’s turn the carriage around and go to a nearby village to do some small business there, and then live our lives in an ordinary way..."
"Shut up, you idiot!!"
Kelion angrily interrupted his brother's complaint.
"I've had enough of your weak-minded complaints! If you want to leave, then get off the carriage now and go wherever you like! And those are not businessmen, hey, they are the Paladins of Tire, and Thom, Lathander...Suellen... Oh my God, what is going on?" Kelien's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the envoys not far away who were preparing to enter the territory. They were all believers of gods, and almost all of them were from Faerûn. The most famous and beloved messenger of the gods. But today they actually gathered here and came to the Lost Land together?
Kellyon also knew that generally speaking, believers of gods would not contact a new territory in this way. They would indeed go to meet the lord and ask for permission to preach and establish a church. But this is obviously different now. Looking at these messengers of gods gathered together, it feels more like they are going to attend a meeting...
But what kind of meeting would allow so many messengers of gods to attend?
Thinking of this, Kellyon shuddered and quickly looked away.
He is just a serious businessman, and he is not willing to get involved in some troublesome things.
At this moment, Kelion's queue also moved forward slowly, and soon he came to the entrance of the side door.
"Who are you? What is the purpose of coming to the Lost Land?"
A terrifying being who was even taller than Kellyon and wearing black armor stood in front of him, his eyes glowing scarlet, and he asked coldly, and when he heard his voice, Kellyon also trembled. , stood up quickly.
"Report... It's wrong. Dear...that...respected master, we are brothers Kelion and Brooke from Waterdeep City. We are businessmen and want to run a business in the Lost Land..."
"………………"
Before Kelly could finish his words, he was forced to shut his mouth by the eyes of the night guard in front of him.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise from the team nearby.
"Are you kidding? Why don't you let me in!"
Hearing this voice, Kelion was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw on the other side, a fully armed lizard man who looked like an adventurer was roaring angrily at another night guard.
"The Tribunal only allows humans and demihuman races to enter, and no alien race is allowed to enter."
Facing the lizard man's roar, the night guard said coldly, and hearing this, the lizard man became even more angry.
"Stop joking! Do you think of me as something despicable like goblins and jackals?! You..."
However, before the lizard man finished speaking, Kelion saw the night guard suddenly raise a strange saw-like object in his hand and aim at the opponent. Then with a "bang", the lizard man's head shattered directly. , scattered all over the place. And its headless body also shook for a moment and then fell heavily to the ground.
"………………"
Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned. At this moment, a girl dressed as a priest came out and glared at the night guard angrily.
"Why are you doing this? He just wants to go in and have a look. Even if he is not allowed in, there is no need to kill him!"
"For the Inquisition, all xenos are targets that need to be eliminated."
The night guard gave a calm answer, but at this moment, suddenly, an aristocratic man who looked like a kid from a rich family sneered and walked out.
"Oh? According to you, as long as it is an alien race, the Tribunal will eliminate it?"
"That's right."
"Very good, interesting..."
Hearing the words of the night guard, the man nodded, and then his robe suddenly swelled. The next moment, a huge green dragon suddenly appeared in front of everyone!
"In that case, then I want to see what your trial court has...!!"
"Bang!!"
"Destroy the aliens!!!"
The green dragon raised its head high, but before it could finish its words, the surrounding night guards roared angrily. The next moment they raised their weapons and attacked the green dragon. Along with the thunderous bombardment, everyone was surprised to see blood flowers bursting out from the green dragon's body. Under this extremely violent attack, the green dragon wailed without even finishing his pretentious words. , directly collapsed to the ground. The next moment, the night guards patrolling above suddenly raised the chain saw guns in their hands, jumped down, and then the whistling and rotating chain saws in their hands cut directly into the green dragon's body!
“Ahhhhhhhhh————!!”
The green dragon let out a shrill scream. At this moment, the people nearby were even more frightened and ran away, watching the giant dragon rolling on the ground desperately. However, this was meaningless. It only took a moment. One of the night guards He cut off the green dragon's head abruptly and turned it into a corpse.
“……………………”
At this moment, Kellyn had collapsed to the ground, and his brother Brooke next to him had long been unconscious.
Looking at the body of the green dragon that was dragged away by the Night Guard like a dead dog, Kelien swallowed silently.
This time, I might have really arrived at an incredible place...
