Chapter 454 Abnormal Situation
Because of the specialty of being a wanderer, the intricate environment underground did not hinder Nohir's return. Due to the harsh memory of environmental details in the wandering life in the past, even in In such a harsh lightless environment, Nohill did not have such embarrassing things as getting lost.
His journey was extremely smooth. He did not encounter any sneak attacks from evil thoughts, nor did he encounter monsters that thrived underground. Just over an hour later, relying on the steel predator, although Not at full speed, but still extremely efficient, he successfully rode the predator, jumped up from the intricate underground tunnel, and returned to the underground dungeon in the Moonrise Tower!
Nohir, who rushed out from the underground world, held the giant ax close to 1/3 of the head with his right hand, and supported the huge head of the predator with his left hand. His wings were slightly spread, his legs were bent, and he was cautious. He crouched on the body of this steel beast again, ready to go.
In Nohir's expectation, no matter how easy the return from the underground world is, there will inevitably be a war after returning to the sphere of influence of the Tower of the Moon.
After all, he is the king who has captured these undead. As long as Kesrick still has the slightest desire to resist and escape from control, the entire undead in the Moonrise Tower will not remain indifferent.
They will definitely receive an order to intercept them, and the high-level undead in the Moonrise Tower will definitely control thousands of undead in the tower, launching round after round against Nohir. attack until he wrested Catherick Thom from his grasp.
However...
"What's going on? What happened here? Where is the warm welcome I imagined?"
The place where Nohir is now is the moon In the underground prison area under the Tower of Dezhi, when he first went underground from here, there was nothing in this place. Let alone ordinary creatures, there were not even a few patrolling undead. After all, there was nothing here. The prisoners need to be guarded, and it can be said that it is terribly empty.
But even at that time, there were at least one or two wandering undead skeletons patrolling together alternately. But now, when Nohill looked up, even the few skeletons he had an impression of had disappeared. trace.
This situation is quite wrong. In Nohill's expectation, this kind of narrow, dark underground space with almost no way to survive would definitely be filled with all kinds of people, used to chase and intercept. His undead army is the right one, but now...
'Could it be Jaheira and the others who are coming? No, not even a day has passed, and their condition has not fully recovered. According to the original plan, they will not come to the Moonrise Tower until tomorrow at the earliest to harass the undead here. ’
Thinking of this, Nohir thought silently for a while, but in the absence of information, he really had no clue.
‘How about... go up and take a look? ’
Nohir, who was standing on the predator, glanced at the spiral staircase in the distance. Through that staircase, he could directly return to the interior of the Tower of the Moon, that is, the room full of gnolls. Maybe as long as he got there , he will know what is happening in the Moonrise Tower now.
'The evil thoughts have retreated inexplicably, and now even this abnormal thing has happened in the Moonrise Tower. Hey, it is really terrible. I always feel that the current situation has begun to gallop in a direction I have no idea about. got up. '
Nohir glanced at the spiral staircase in front, and then at the shadowed corner behind him. In his original expectation, if he was surrounded after coming out, he would break out and escape in that direction. , because if you go in that direction in the game, you will come to a very hidden small dock.
The Moonrise Tower was originally built on the edge of a tributary of the Jonsa River. The characters in the game can also leave the Moonrise Tower by boat there. In the game, the purpose of this pier is to facilitate players to evacuate the refugees imprisoned in the Moonrise Tower. From this point of view, the existence of this pier seems to be inconsistent with the logic of the real world, but in fact it is Not so.
Nohill has confirmed in advance that this pier still exists even in this real world, and the reason why this pier exists is actually because this thing is an escape route reserved by the tower owner.
In a castle in this fantasy world, every owner of the castle must prepare one or even several such escape routes so that he and his family can evacuate safely when danger occurs. , is a necessity in a certain sense.
Nohir's original plan was to break out in that direction after coming out. Since he could fly, he didn't need to take a boat. He only needed to find the cave that could connect to the outside world and fly away. Everything would be fine, but now this is weird. The situation made him a little unsure whether he should leave there immediately.
'No, I can't just let it go. I have to know what happened in the Moonrise Tower. Now the plot of this world has been completely disrupted. Whatever happens next is possible. I We must collect as much intelligence as possible so that we can prevent possible future threats in advance and avoid being blinded by sudden crises. '
Nohir glanced at Catherick who was being held by the predator. In order to prevent this guy from causing trouble, he deliberately let his kitten roast his whole body with charcoal before coming out. , under such devastation, it will be impossible for this guy to regain his combat effectiveness for a while.
However, for the sake of safety, Nohill decided to take him with him and determined not to let this guy out of his sight for even a second.
In this way, Nohir rode the predator, and the predator held Catherick in its mouth. The three of them walked up the stairs that spiraled into the tower, and when the predator After his paws stepped on the stone bricks inside the Moonrise Tower for the first time, Nohir finally saw the mess inside the tower.
"...How should I put it, this is not the scene I imagined."
Nohir jumped off the predator's head, and he just landed on the ground, The boots on his feet, which had become exceptionally clean with the help of the Cleansing Scroll, were once again stained with a thick layer of blood.
That is the blood of jackals. They are small pets that were brought to this tower by evil thoughts, mutilated themselves by the same kind, and raised poison. However, these little pets were completely dead at this time. It is not moody evil thoughts that kill them.
Nohir leaned down and picked up a tattered skull. Such bones were as common as the gnoll limbs scattered throughout the room. In addition to these bones, some ghoul stumps and the embers left behind after the ghosts died. There are also some jackal zombies that sense the appearance of living people after death and then stand up again.
These things have fully shown who killed these jackals.
“Why did these undead get involved with evil thoughts’ pets?”
