The knight in the abyss

Chapter 325 The Square
As the crowd walked through a canyon-like path, the city suddenly became clear in front of them.The twisted and weird tower was blocked behind by an invisible boundary, and a large square with an area similar to the Shuangqiao Town Arena appeared in front of it.

But the square is not empty.Before their eyes were countless huts, tents, and crypts.The surface of these temporary buildings is covered with dirty oil, the ground is flowing with yellow and green pus, and the smell in the air is like a hundred mouse-eating goblins farting at the same time, severely punishing those Stupid trying to take a deep breath.

At the center of these low buildings is a colossal statue depicting a woman with a seductive figure and arms slightly outstretched, all wrapped in a plain shroud-like drapery.Details such as the fluttering edges of the drapery, the looming body, and the concave and convex arcs make this colossus look so realistic. The only thing that is not depicted is the head of the statue, which is covered by layers of drapes. Make it impossible for people to see the true face.

No need to guess Lancelot, he also knows who the statue is - the titular owner of Andrinna, one of the oldest demons in the Abyss, the 'mother of demons' Cang Ye.

Just as he was looking at the statue, the small bamboo slip in his mind suddenly made a "ding" sound, and Lancelot came back to his senses in an instant, only then did he realize that his situation just now seemed strange.He turned his head to look at his partner, and found that everyone was in a state of trance, as if the statue possessed some kind of magical power, which made people involuntarily attracted.

He coughed clearly, and there was a bit of real energy in his voice.This method causes the listener to feel a slight sting, which, according to Brutal, is like having a leg hair plucked.It certainly didn't do much harm, but it was enough to shake the listener out of a trance.

All the people who regained their sanity changed their expressions slightly, and they moved their eyes away one after another, not daring to look again.Axian tilted his head and murmured strangely:
"That statue has been standing here for countless centuries, and it didn't have such evil characteristics before..."

"Maybe it's for that."

Lancelot pointed to the foot of the statue, which was an altar-like platform surrounded by burning candles and freshly slaughtered sacrifices.As the center of worshiping Cangye, it is not surprising that there is such a facility in Gorgon Dicolia, but there is a huge signboard on the side, with three big characters written in Abyssal language: Recruitment Office, and the stone table below There are all kinds of demons crowded in front of it, and it's hard to say that it has nothing to do with the statue from the frantic look.

"That's not a good sign." The elf ranger gasped, and then coughed violently.

"The taste must be terrible..." Kara Lin patted the elf's back sympathetically. He wore an adaptation necklace from Oasis Castle on his neck, allowing him to breathe freely in any environment. At this moment, all The most relaxed of all.

"Cough cough... cough... over there, where the statue's right hand is pointing, follow me..."

Under the leadership of Axian, everyone marched along the edge of the square.After walking for about 10 minutes, they stopped in front of a huge tower.Like the rest of the building, there is no entrance at the base of the tower, but a mural on the wall depicts, rather crudely, the head of a goblin on a dinner plate.

The elf ranger turned around and counted the number of people, took out eight gold coins from his pocket, and stuffed them into the mouth of the goblin's head.Only then did everyone discover that there was a crack on the wall, which was ingeniously combined with the mural.

The gold coin didn't make any sound after it was stuffed in, as if it just disappeared out of thin air.But after a few seconds, the eyeballs of the goblin's head suddenly started to move, as if it came alive.It glanced at the people in front of it, nodded, and then stopped moving.

"It's gone?" Brutal asked, staring. "What did you do?"

"It should be right, I think that's what the person who brought me here did..." Axian poked on the wall in confusion, "Did I forget an important step..."

Lancelot first noticed a small blurry black spot on the ground, and then it quickly became larger and clearer.The whistling sound in his ears made him raise his head, just in time to see a round discus falling straight towards the top of Aksian's head, with the crushed flesh and blood of a victim stuck to the bottom.

At this time, it would be too late to summon the vines, so Lancelot could only grit his teeth and rush forward, throwing the elf ranger out in a matter of seconds.There was a loud sound like a boulder falling to the ground from behind, and Lancelot turned his head to look, only to find that what fell was a huge cage with thick iron chains tied to it.

"Ahem, I just said I forgot something, so I had to stand far away." The elf's weak voice came from below, "Well, I think I need a bottle of healing potion..."

Lancelot looked down and realized that he had made a serious mistake.His armor had been transformed to be full of sharp blades and spikes. The thin elf was repaired by himself, and his whole body was bleeding profusely. He really lost half of his life.

"Uh, sorry." Lancelot quickly got up from him, and this action made the elf scream again.The rest of the people also gathered around, Kora poured potion into his mouth, and Alamir released the healing spell under the cover of his companions, and it took a while for the poor elf ranger to slow down.

"Thank you for saving my life." Axian stood up again with the help of others, "It's my own fault. If I was smashed into meatloaf, resurrection alone would not be able to revive me."

"You're welcome." Lancelot shook his head, he turned to look at the cage, "What the hell is this thing for?"

"This is an elevator, used to pick people up." The elf ranger walked into the cage, turned around and found that no one was following him, and couldn't help but asked with some doubts, "What are you waiting for? Come up."

"Then..." The dwarf looked at him hesitantly, "Are you sure you haven't forgotten any other steps?"

"Although I'm very uncomfortable with the various facilities in the city, I'm sure I didn't remember anything wrong this time." Aksian groped around the edge of the cage, "Ah, I found it! It's the pull ring, just pull it like this, We will then……"

The cage took the elf up quickly, leaving the stunned crowd in place.

"He's an elf general, right?" Brutal glanced sideways at another elf in the team, "Or some prince of Selyon?"

"Hmm... General is just an honorary title among the elves, and most of it is related to his status as a prince. Every elf warrior knows what he should do on the battlefield, and he doesn't really need a general to command...at least in my case It’s like this in our world.” Aramir explained with some embarrassment, “I believe he must have a way to correct this little accident, so we’d better stand a little further away, that cage will fall down at any time, don’t you think what..."
