The Amber Sword: Act 354 Requiem IV

Whether it is Vaunde or our world, there are more or less such unnoticed corners on the battlefields of ancient times. It ’s like a dead end that was forgotten by the eyes of Various Gods, no matter how fierce the battle or what weird things happened, but within the scope of the Commander thinking of the warring parties, it seems like a vacuum, and no one will Go and see it more. --, the fortress of Hafermel in the east gate of Ampere Searl, was built around 1400 years of chaos. It is a elf-like fortress, but since its birth, it seems to have been blessed or cursed. Every war went away from it. When Eicht faced the barbarians, mountain people Sha Minmin's Thane "Razor" Sihad passed the open east four times and detoured to Ampere Searl south gate to attack. Later, against the first invasion of Madara in the tide of darkness, the skeleton Thane once again passed this ancient fortress. To this day, it seems that the Princess party and the northern noble have made an appointment. There is no such thing as the Hafemeri fortress. After the demons invaded the city, it was boiling like porridge, but the northeast corner was still dead. It is hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

But after seven hundred years of wind and rain, this fortress, which has almost never experienced warfare, is still slightly old, moss has grown on the battlements, and the wall has become a heavy history in the wind and rain Black and green. The only difference between it and other cities is that no scars can be found on the 300-meter-long city section, and the appearance of the old and new after repairing. There were no human soldiers in the fortress at this moment, but the piles of Harpy crowded noisily on the battlements. Or hovering -- in the heavy rain, but Harbour Defence Army was withdrawn by itself, and Hafermelli fortress was fortunately missed the opportunity to fight.

Harpy monitors a large pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters below in the sky, and hundreds of Troglodytes are dug in a mud puddle. Of course, you have to say that struggling is also possible. It is not a wise thing to do anything in such stormy weather. Two of the worst things are digging and war. Although Troglodyte erected a number of shelves under the command of the Sorcerer under the Gorgon Ravine to stabilize the walls. But landslides still happen from time to time. Fortunately, the life of Troglodyte is insignificant. Thane Stark doesn't care about dying one, one hundred, or one thousand Troglodyte. This is no difference to him. The only difference is how many gold coins are spent. Troglodyte breeds underground in Gorgon Ravine. Very powerful, often only a small piece of land can be exchanged for an entire army. As long as he digs up that thing within the time limit, no amount of loss can be repaid.

From time to time, there are throbbing sensations in the underground, and ordinary people often think that it is a premonition before the arrival of a bad sign. But wizard, who is proficient in Magic, can immediately tell that it is the ripple -- generated by the line of the Mana flowing under the corrode under Underground. Of course, it is not a good thing for ordinary people. -- is only Stark. It seems that it is a box of gold exuding Aura as beautiful as wine. No, it's not a box, but a whole hundred boxes, even in the words of those demons from under River of Sulphur: a hundred boxes of gold are not worth the value of that thing, which cannot be measured by the stupid values ​​of the world existence. But the devil's shortsightedness to cast aside mortals. Stark likes to scorn the values ​​of demons.

Baby that cannot be measured with gold? Isn't that worthless? He shook his huge bull's head and scoffed at it. Worthless things, 俺 Stark looks down.

But this time it should finally find the right place. Stark can smell the "smelly" of the dark Mana with its nose, and can't help sighed in relief. Those Troglodyte under him can cause him a lot of trouble. In fact, until now, the landslides under the pit have continued to occur uninterrupted. Troglodytes had to take the time to transport more Troglodyte corpses, lest they become blocked and become part of the new landfill, just as it is now, and there was a noisy sound coming after a while . what happened again? Collapsed again? What can't they do well? Minotaur Thane Stark does not consider the fact that Gorgon Ravine never rains, and only makes up its mind to those Troglodytes who will give them a deep lesson if they trouble them again. Throw them into its favorite maze, which is the most proud maze of Stark. Even the smart and beautiful Medusa lady Lasmeque could not find the exit.

However, Lasmeque immediately turned it into a stone for two hours after coming out. She actually said that he had played tricks instead of building a door for the maze. But this is also the Minotaur sly strategy isn't that so, Stark deeply distressed for not being favored by beautiful women, why no one appreciates his wit. When he thought of Lasmeque, he could not help but came up with the indifferent and beautiful face, as if it were true, but Stark immediately discovered that it was true because he saw the beautiful Medusa lady Come out from the rain curtain.

"So, what happened again, I heard the mess below on top." Lasmeque asked a little unhappyly, "could it be that, do you grow such a big head to balance the body, Stark? "

When I heard Lasmeque say this, Minotaur Thane Stark showed a thick smile. This expression that can basically be evaluated as a smirk completely destroyed its fierce expression. -- Can you imagine a cow smirking? Ms. Medusa saw such a respect. She frowned, probably guessing that the silly big man couldn't say one, so she just pulled him away with her hands and looked at the bottom of the pit herself. She immediately saw that a spectacle was happening under the pit, and saw a large group of Troglodyte screaming like a rat in a pot, scrambling up and down the ramp up the pit bottom. It felt like there was a cat in the bottom of the pot besides the mouse.

"What are you doing!" Lasmeque is almost furious. If she doesn't have a trace of reason left, she must look back at the **** of Stark and turn it into a stone sculpture forever. That stone sculpture must be as mighty as the Minotaur legend Thane Minotaur. And no one knows how dumb this guy is ever since, and that's the most critical thing.

But unfortunately Troglodyte couldn't answer her.

...

"What are you doing!"

When we heard this little bit of not inferior when the shrieks of the Siren penetrated the rain curtain, our Miss merchant became a black cat with the help of White Mist. A cloud of smoky smoke rose, a fur black and satin, and a kitten with golden pupils stepped out of the smoke. She seemed curious about this form. But for witch, the change into a Magic animal is actually a full-time spell. White Mist did not tell her --, and she will get used to it all soon.

White Mist watched Romaine there curiously licking the left paw, and then looked at the right paw, stretched out the paw to grab the ear, and then shook the tail, so I couldn't stand it anymore, it turned into a circle of White Mist around Beside her, the left rear turned into a white bow tie behind the neck of Miss merchant. "Let's go. The following seems messy, Correct is now a good time." White Mist said in that consistent weak tone.

Romaine Then came out of the grass and quietly came to the pit.

Under the pit is messing up into a pot of porridge. I do n’t know if a larger collapse or something happened. Troglodyte is screaming and fleeing upward. There is no brotherhood between these creatures from the Gorgon Ravine underground, they are fighting each other, just to be a step ahead of -- if possible. It is also possible to leave your companions behind. Under the fury of Lasmeque, several Troglodytes that rushed into the pit were turned into stones, and no one was asked, so at this time, naturally, no one would pay attention to the movement of the pit, or no one saw one at the pit. Cat. Of course, in fact, there are only Stark and Lasmeque that can be seen with eyes.

Romaine stepped lightly on the scaffold all the way to the bottom of the pit. It's like a real kitten. When I saw White Mist, I was sighed. I think Miss merchant is better than a cat. However, she suddenly felt that, compared to Romaine's curiosity, it may be said that a cat with nine lives was the true destination of Correct. If the Vaunde world had an abortion, White Mist might not think that Romaine was the wrong one. However, she was distracted, Miss merchant already left and right to avoid several teams of Troglodyte. She landed Agility on a reinforcement board, staring at the golden-yellow pupils, and looking down at the bottom of the pit, "White Mist White Mist, look at that, what is it!"

White Mist "looked down" and immediately saw a dozen strange creatures hunting down Troglodyte. The reason why it is strange creature is that the thing looks like a spider, but in her extensive knowledge, absolutely no spider is covered with sharp crystal. If it weren't for the exposed arthropods, she would almost think it was a few huge crystal chases and hunts below. "Ah, it's Crystalline!" She cried out.

"Crystalline, what is that?" Romaine asked curiously.

At this time, several Crystalline alreadys were close to the surface. They were very fierce and killer. Many Troglodytes were killed under their minions, but it was a little creepy that they obviously didn't kill Troglodyte for hunting. These Crystalline simply killed Troglodyte, and then threw their bodies to the side as if they had been experience is formed after professional training or thousands of repetitions.

On the ground, Ms. Medusa Lasmeque finally noticed these uninvited guests. "Is it a guard?" She murmured and dropped the lucky Troglodyte in her hand, dropping it under the pit.

She took the short bow from her waist, aimed at those Crystallines, shot one arrow at each, and shot the front two back. The performance of several Crystallines is very powerful, which is about the level of Gold-rank Initial Stage. Troglodyte was not their opponent at all. As soon as Lasmeque tried, they realized that they had encountered a difficult opponent.

"Crystalline is Crystalline, let's continue to look at it." Under the pit, White Mist is answering questions to Romaine in her unique way.

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

"No, I am here," White Mist replied simply.

Miss merchant just nodded, and went down vertically, steadily falling to the other side of the bottom of the pit. Only at this time did the two 'people' realize how deep the bottom of the pit was. -- The bottom of the pit was in fact already, and artificial traces began to appear below. It should be a piece of ruins, with many holes leading to the underground of the black hole.

The two randomly found an entrance to drill in. There is no Troglodyte existence in the ruins at the moment, and no new Crystalline appears. In addition to the sound of rain and water, it seems a bit lonely. In fact, after entering the depths of ruins, the sound of rain training gradually became smaller, and a huge existence contour gradually emerged in the darkness.

“Ah!” to White Mist is another exclaim.

"What's wrong?"

Romaine hurried forward, looking curiously at raises head. She saw the huge outline gradually become clear in her field of vision, and then outlined the shape of a skull. --, to be precise, should be part of a huge stone statue. Or, according to Romaine's, -- is a bit like the product of Fortress Fir, the marble statues used for decoration are magnified a thousand times.

But the face line of the stone statue is very tough. It doesn't look like modern humans, but more like it is shaped by races other than humans. Only Romaine took a look, neither bearded nor pointed ears. Not a dwarf, nor elf, she thoughtfully evaluated.

"What is this, White Mist?"

"... Titan Colossus, I didn't expect it to be here ... I didn't expect it to be here ..." White Mist muttered to himself, if the eyes could be widened, this listless woman must be staring now To the maximum.

...

Brando listened side by side, rustling noise's voice already was getting closer and closer in the dark. But that will never be the sound of the spider mother. It will not make such a loud noise. Although the -- spider mother is a behemoth itself, it is very light and is a lurking hunter.

Recalling the experience of the original adventure, Brando still remembers it.

Everyone stops. Knights all put their hands on the sword, but they did not pull the sword, which is also a skill learned from Brando. In some cases, drawing the sword first is not to take the lead, but to expose the position of one's own to the other party, especially when facing unknown enemies.

Brando is very satisfied with the actions of others. He first saw those unexpected guests who suddenly appeared.

The first thing that appeared in the dark was a glimmer of light that seemed to reflect the dim light of the crystal in his hand. Then he saw what it was -- creature composed of a piece of crystal, and it looked like a spider.

But they are no longer already spiders.

"Crystalline?" Brando froze for a moment. Why is there such a thing here? There should be no such monsters in this Instance. Besides, any kind of monster among the ambers appears for some reason, just like the group Wind Element under Maer Highland, and it will definitely not be okay.

Crystalline is a very special monster. Brando has only seen them in a few places, and each time it is not many.

A lot of thoughts flashed through his mind. But the response was quick, the body's center of gravity sank, and Earth Sword already appeared in the hands.

"Ready to fight!" Her Highness the Princess whispered behind him. Knights brushed out and pulled out the sword.
