The knight in the abyss

Chapter 329 Found it

Crossing that square was far more difficult than Lancelow thought, not because of the harsh environment or people blocking it, but because of what he saw.

As a veteran, Lancelot had seen the most horrific aspects of war—not the battles where the blood and limbs splattered when the two armies faced each other, nor the battlefields where the corpses were scattered after the battle.The most frightening thing is the wounded barracks. The survivors are unfortunate. They lost part of their limbs.

The situation in this square is even worse.

Kara Lin once explained to him that the demon's body itself is a tool of torture, full of unbearable pain, which is why this demon behaves so violently and irritable.Lancelow didn't have an intuitive understanding of this before. Among the demons he fought against, even the weakest coward had well-developed muscles, sharp claws and strong vitality.

But here, he saw another side of these lower plane creatures.Huge tumors, mutated bones, and festering skin, the lesions on their bodies are so serious that other races would have died long ago.Painful wails wafted through the dilapidated buildings. The demons' supernatural vitality and fear of death made them unable to escape, and they could only suffer in this never-ending torment.

Even though Lancelow had spent nearly half of his life in the army, such a scene still had a great impact on him, and he had to rely on the constantly running Ice Heart Art to maintain his mental stability.Axian simply closed his eyes, relying on the ranger's ability to sense the surrounding environment, and followed closely behind Lancelot.

Fortunately, this road is not long.After a while, the two arrived in front of the base of Cang Ye's statue.After experiencing what happened just now, Lancelot understood why the demons surrounding the conscription office looked so fanatical—from this angle, Cang Ye’s statue was even covered with a savior-like aura, and joining her army seemed like one of these The only way to get rid of the bottom demons.

But it seems that the recruiting office of the Demon Legion does not accept everyone.Theoretically speaking, high-level demons only need to consume a little mana to upgrade a low-level demon into a new form.Lancelot, who has absorbed the aura of the abyss, also has this ability. According to his estimation, he only needs to consume about one-tenth of his true energy to directly upgrade a Coward to a Berserker.

This promotion is so thorough that any defects in the original body will not be brought to the new body.But will high-level demons consume their magic power to save their suffering compatriots?Of course not, evil creatures despise sympathy as a 'weak' emotion, laughing out loud at those in misery, and attempting to aggravate their pain for pleasure.

Naturally, Lancelot and Axian would not want to lend a helping hand to these guys. How do you say it?This is what they asked for. If they hadn't committed serious sins during their lifetime, their souls would not have fallen into the abyss after death, becoming a worm crawling out of the river Styx.

The two of them carefully stayed away from the demon recruiting place, avoiding attracting any attention.The elf ranger led Lancelot around to the back of the statue. The side of the pedestal was a wall instead of steps, and it was engraved with many runes of unknown meaning and in different shapes.There were also some slogans written in Abyssal language, and Lancelow was surprised to see that there were many vicious curses on Cang Ye.

The existence of those slogans does not mean that Cang Ye is magnanimous and willing to accept criticism from the people, it just ruthlessly exposes a fact: the mother of demons doesn't care about this place at all.

How do you say it?The greatest contempt is ignoring them, directly assuming that these low-level demons do not exist, anyway, they have nowhere else to go, and sending troops over when needed, forcing them to become cannon fodder or processed into rations.

"found it!"

While Lancelow was standing there idly, Aksian's surprised voice suddenly came from his ear.He looked up, and saw that the elf was pointing to an inconspicuous corner, where black and white paint was used to depict the image of a girl dancing under the moon.

The girl has snow-white hair and a black body, and holds a long sword in her hand.Staring at the emblem gave Lancelot a sense of tranquility and relaxation, completely different from the malicious words and symbols around him.

"Is that the emblem of a certain god?" Lancelot asked curiously.

"Well, this is the symbol of Eilistraee, the god of our spy friends." Axian took out a silver arrowhead from his bosom, and carved several symbols on the side of the emblem, "It is said that In the world where the spy came, the goddess guards the good dark elves and helps the drow who want to return to the surface to get rid of her evil mother, Lolth, the spider queen."

"Is this Eilistraee the daughter of Rose?" Lancelot asked with great interest, "And she is also a good god? Then who is his father?"

"Naturally Rose's husband, er, ex-husband, an elf god king." The elf ranger finished the message, clapped his hands and stood up from the ground, "Thousands of centuries ago, for some unknown reason, the ancient The elves left their home plane, immigrated to every corner of the multiverse, and established their own gods. I don't know much about the elves gods Rose belongs to, but I heard that she tried to replace the position of the king of gods and colluded with The evil god wanted to assassinate her husband, and after the conspiracy was exposed, she was transformed into a terrifying spider demon and was driven into the abyss."

"But Rose seems to be doing pretty well. She controlled the entire level and became an abyss lord." Lancelow shrugged, "What's wrong with that elven king? He actually saved Rose's life. ?”

"Not only did he save his life, but he also drove the drows underground together, just because those dark-skinned elves are followers of Rose. What's wrong with those drows? Isn't it because they worship Rose? Si is his wife, isn't this pushing those innocent children into the fire pit?" Axian, who was still in the form of a dark elf, complained, "Now you understand why my compatriot believes in a human god Well, the elf gods are too...emotional a lot of the time."

Lancelot opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly there was an angry female voice behind him.He turned his head and found a group of dark elves standing not far behind him.The voice was a gorgeously dressed female drow, sitting on a floating magic carpet, surrounded by several other drow women, and behind them were dozens of soldiers, almost all of whom were men .

These female drow are decorated with spider patterns, and it seems that they are all loyal followers of Rose.They didn't seem very happy, could it be that they heard the conversation between the two just now?
