The knight in the abyss

Chapter 28 The Six Armed Snake Demon

In the gorgeous hall, Lancelot adjusted his posture awkwardly.On the way in just now, all the succubus seemed to be looking at him with a strange look, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

"Oh, your little adventure group has a new companion?"

Tijana was sitting lazily on her throne. Although she was talking to Lancelot, her half-squinted eyes were not looking at him.

The first few prisoners rescued by Lancelot had been led by a foreman, and they were about to start their careers in the blacksmith's district, and Karalin did not follow.At this moment, his eyes were focused on his toes, and he didn't know whether it was fear or excitement, but his body trembled slightly.

"Interesting, a member of the Black Order actually ran into the abyss." Tijana's smile was very gloomy, "This group of guys who are keen to study demons, but they do a lot of summoning demons and then vivisection and so on. thing."

"But his knowledge is really useful." Lancelot quickly defended Caralin: "With his help, I believe many tasks will be much smoother."

"As long as he doesn't focus on dealing with Shuangqiao Town." Tijana said jokingly, "Aren't these people very concerned about the situation in the abyss? I believe he is very aware of the consequences of doing so."

"I swear with my soul that I will never do anything that would harm Shuangqiao Town or your interests!" Kalarin said eagerly, "My lady, if you have any need, my wisdom will always be there for you. You serve."

"It's better to use your wisdom on this knight's enemy." Tijana stopped looking at him, and turned to Lancelo: "You have completed the assessment task, you can accept as many subordinates as you want, but you Responsible for their safety, and a poll tax of 300 gp per month per person. No refunds on death, remember."

"Thank you, my lady." Lancelot saluted.

"Take this, this is the proof that you are a mercenary." Tijana threw another emblem of Shuangqiao Town over. "With this, go to the mercenary hall to buy a residence, accept tasks, and pay the poll tax."

"Got it, my lady."

Lancelo nodded knowingly. Tijana didn't look for the gold coins they wanted to seize from Kuka, so she didn't have to worry about being swept out of the house in the short term.

Pluto took a step forward and said:

"One more thing, ma'am. Do you know anything about cold iron?"

"I don't know, what's so special about it?"

"It's a metal buried deep in the ground, rare but not uncommon, and weapons made from it are especially effective against demons and devils, and unlike weapons of good or divine attributes, anyone can use them."

"Interesting." Tijana straightened up. "Let me guess, are you going to give me a weapon like this?"

"Uh, we don't have it yet, but this kind of ore can only be processed by the special low-temperature forging technique, and the Frostcast Clan has just mastered this skill." Pluto cocked his hips proudly. "We are inherently resistant to the low temperatures that come with processing this metal. If we can find cold iron ore, we can produce this weapon on a large scale. I am sure your customers will be interested in this, but I hope that can improve my Dad and their... er... work pay."

"It turns out that you don't have anything in your hands." Tijana leaned back again with little interest. "Don't worry about your father, he has already proven his worth. When you guys do come up with some cold iron weapon, let's see if it's really as powerful as you said. Retire."

"As ordered, my lady." Lancelot saluted again, pulled Pluto and Karalin and turned around and walked out.He vaguely felt that the succubus lord seemed to be watching his back all the time.

Maybe it's an illusion caused by feeling too good about yourself.'??

"What are we going to do now?"

After coming out of the castle, Pluto asked anxiously first.

Lancelot played with the emblem of Shuangqiao Town, and his spiritual sense told him that this time it was really an ordinary emblem, at least there was no strange peeping effect.

"Let's settle the question of where to stay first, and then take Kalarin around the city to get acquainted with the environment." He put away the emblem and glanced at the young dwarf, "Finally, I will visit your father, Regarding the cold iron, we still need to listen to the opinions of professionals."

Pluto completely ignores the criticism of himself in Lancelot's words.He put his head in his hands and strode towards the arena-like building not far away.

The mercenary hall is located on the east side of the castle, very close, and further east is a continuous building, which is the residence built by the mercenaries who come here year by year.

There were not many people going to and from the mercenary hall on the road, but all of them looked ferocious, and they were just a pair of horns away from the temperament of the devil.

When the three stepped into the mercenary hall, they were taken aback by the receptionist at the front desk.

This is a creature like a mythical legend. 'She' is more than nine feet tall, and her upper body is the image of a humanoid female creature. Her face is even beautiful, but the corners of her tightly pursed mouth make her expression look very cold, and her eyes exude a terrifying murderous aura that stops your breathing.The overly slender body has three pairs of arms on both sides, on which various jewelry is worn, and the clear muscle lines remind people that it is an absolutely efficient killing machine. The lower body of 'her' is an extremely thick snake body, the diameter is wider than Pluto's shoulders, covered with green scales that can arouse people's most primitive fears, and the length from head to tail is about twenty feet. .

Pluto turned around and wanted to run, but was pulled by Lancelot.Apart from being obviously frightened at first glance, Karalin looked at each other with interest.

"It's a Merelis, known as the Six-armed Serpent Demon." His words came out between his teeth in a very low volume. "Don't panic, you see that she doesn't have a weapon in her hand, which means that it's not her job to chop visitors into pieces."

Pluto recovered from the panic, and then he noticed that the snake demon held various documents and seals in his hands, and the weapons stayed in the twelve scabbards behind him.

The elf's information about this creature also appeared in Lancelot's mind.The six-armed snake demon is a master of close-quarters combat, holding a long sword in each arm during battle, delivering a **** blow to the enemy.If you're lucky enough to parry all her six-handed attacks, her tail will be the last straw for you when you're out of breath.

But more importantly, they are the best commanders in the demon army, and one of the few leaders who can bring other demons together in battle.Their strategy and tactical awareness are as good as their combat prowess, cutting into the battlefield at the most opportune moment, unleashing a monstrous bloodbath where the enemy is most vulnerable.Without them, the performance of the demons in the bloody battle would have been much worse. Maybe even the first layer of the abyss would become the domain of the demons.

"If you have nothing to do, you'd better disappear from my eyes immediately."

The faint voice sounded, reminiscent of a snake crawling through the sand.

　Let’s change it first, thank you for your support~ Here, by the way, about the scholar profession, I designed it according to the template of the mage, but the daily spell volume corresponds to the level minus 5, which means that the 6th level scholar Equivalent to a 1st-level mage, he can cast 2 1st-level magics (0-level magic, as long as he is willing to waste money to prepare scrolls).Karalin is now an 8th-level scholar, which is equivalent to a 3rd-level wizard.In addition, the proficiency bonus of scholars is level -1, which is a relatively powerful BUFF, reflecting the characteristics of their academic casters.Scholars can only use simple weapons, go back to the whole sling or light crossbow or something.His main role is still in role-playing. He has a 20 bonus on knowledge checks on demons and abyss rumors (that's how self-willed!). In the novel, he is used to remind the characters and weaknesses of the protagonist's enemies. cheater~
