The knight in the abyss

Chapter 19 Saving the Succubus Grace

"Shuangqiao has always been like a beacon on the River Styx, attracting runaway slaves, stray mortals, and ambitious adventurers. It's one of the few places willing to shelter them, and the price is very fair. ."

"I've received a lot of complaints recently. Near the Whistling Woods upstream, a Bagula named Kuka often kidnaps passing travelers with impunity."

"I can't possibly kill every guy with a mortal race on the menu, but it's always attacking travelers heading to Twin Bridges, which is definitely offensive to me."

"Just eight hours ago, I sent a maid to warn it, but the maid hasn't come back yet, and that idiot has obviously attacked her."

"Your mission is to bring poor Grace back to me and give Kuka whatever punishment you can."

The succubus lord took out a scroll, and with a mysterious wave, it seemed that a shadow had penetrated into it.

"This is the quest scroll, which records the details of the target location and the Bagura Demon. Go out and take a look." Tijana threw the scroll to Lancelot, "There is also a portrait of Grace in it. People have beautiful corners, so don't do anything weird to her portrait."

Lancelo cautiously opened the scroll and glanced at it, confirming that there was nothing wrong with the scroll.

"Are you so curious?" Tijana laughed, "Grace doesn't know what kind of torture she's going through. If you want to see her, leave as soon as possible."

"Hope she's all right." Lancelot saluted Pluto. "Then we retire."

Tijana waved her hand, indicating that he can leave.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Lancelot was about to step out of the hall, Tijana stopped her again.

Lancelot turned around and caught the same item that Tijana threw.

He looked down and found that he was holding an emblem engraved with Shuangqiao Town in his hand, exuding a strong evil atmosphere, as if it had just been blessed by magic.

"The stench of kind creatures on your body is so strong that in this world, even the stones on the ground want to come alive to attack you." Tijana explained, "With this gadget, it can cover a radius of five meters. The aura of kind creatures is valid for three days."

"Thank you." Lancelot was a little surprised by the kindness of the succubus lord, but he concealed this emotion very well, unlike Pluto next to him, his eyes were about to pop out.

"Also, if Grace is all right, then leave that idiot Kuka alone and bring her back as soon as possible."

"Understood." Lancelot waited in place to see if she had any other orders.

"Okay, let's go now." The succubus lord seemed to have suddenly lost his patience and turned his head away from looking at him.

Lancelot saluted again, turned and walked out with Pluto.“€?br />
After coming out of the castle, the two first came to the blacksmith's district to say goodbye to Pluto's father.

The old dwarf had agreed to Pluto's adventure, but was still very worried.He hugged his son for a long time, repeatedly told Pluto to be careful, and gave him a freshly made warhammer.

This hastily finished claw hammer is unremarkable in appearance, but its luxurious use of fine iron as its main material makes it far heavier than it looks.The handle of the hammer is engraved with a mysterious dwarf rune painted with mithril, and a mountain crystal is inlaid on the hammer head, which makes it have a magical effect: the person holding it will have a certain increase in strength, and when wielding it, it will also increase. There is a chance to release the energy of mountain crystals, giving the enemy a devastating blow.

The shield that Lancelot gave to Pluto was also strengthened, the front was hardened, and the back was also engraved with mithril-engraved power-enhancing dwarf runes, and inlaid with mountain crystals.

All of the above precious materials are sponsored by Lancelot.His idea is very simple, that is, to improve Pluto's survivability as much as possible.

Only by surviving can you become stronger little by little, and it is enough for him to split the enemy in half for now.

After separating from Barende, Lancelot summoned the demonic warhorse again.It sniffed Lancelot back and forth a few times, and seemed to be very confused by the change in his master's scent, but he obediently let the two ride on his back.

Lancelot trotted along the Styx while controlling his mount, telepathically letting Dink follow.Quassers have the ability to shapeshift, turning into small animals to follow their masters.

Pluto was sitting with his back to him, studying the quest scroll that Tijana gave them.

"Kuka, the elite...the elite Baal...the Ragu Demon..."

"Bagura," Lancelot corrected.

"Ah, the Abyss language makes people dizzy. Most of these words are cursed in themselves."

Bruto said helplessly.After more than a year here, he has learned to speak Abyss language, but it is still very difficult to read the words of this language.Abyss language is a kind of pictograph, which is derived from various crazy natural scenes in the abyss, and it is unbearable to read.

"It's better for you to read, I'll look at the picture first. This orangutan-like demon is Kuka, right?"

"Yeah. Kuka, the elite bagula, nearly 10 feet tall and estimated to weigh 1000 pounds, ho!"

"What a big guy. Except for the mouth full of fangs, this is a magnified orangutan. What's this big paragraph on the side saying?"

"Mainly because of some of its behavior patterns and fighting methods." Lancelot can already remember it, which is another benefit of becoming a cultivator.He recounted the contents of the scroll: "Bagura, when in the tree, has amazing flexibility, is good at climbing, jumping and ambush, and has the ability to be invisible, and can see through the enemy's invisibility."

"Its main weapon is its powerful fists, and if the opportunity is right, it can also bite your head off your neck with its mouth. It likes to hide in the shadows and launch ambushes, using its terrifying bouncing power to bounce On top of you, a full round of ****-like raids before you can react."

"It has a supernatural ability called abduction, which can force a large or two small creatures to teleport over short distances, which is difficult for ordinary people to resist. This ability can carry a severely injured target away from his teammates, so that a pair of One to solve. It will also use this ability to capture innocent travelers as snacks for its pastime."

"It sounds like it might use this ability on me." Pluto was a little disturbed.

"Probably not. If you defend with all your strength, it will not be able to help you for a while, and the distance of the teleportation is not far, so I can come to support quickly. Bagura is not stupid, this ability can only be used once a day. , if I kept a little bit of strength at the beginning, it would probably see me as a better target."

"Good idea. Anything else?"

"It was mentioned above that it appeared in the Shrieking Woodland about half a year ago. At first, it would only attack and break into its designated territory, but then it began to regularly leave its territory and attack passing travelers." Lancelot wrinkled He frowned and commented, "I feel like there's something wrong here."

"Which part is wrong? According to the description above, this Kuka is simply a model demon of the abyss plane."

"The problem is with order. You can only find a little order in Tijana within a hundred miles. I can't think of any reason for a wild demon to do anything orderly. Demons don't need to eat. , kidnapping and torture are just out of cruel nature, they like the screams of living beings being bitten, and there is no reason to regularly replenish food reserves."

"Never mind, we just need to find this succubus called Grace and hit that stupid orangutan head a few times with my new hammer, and we're done."

"I hope so." Lancelo looked at the emblem of Shuangqiao Town in his hand thoughtfully.

A bat was following them not far or near, it was Dingke.
