The knight in the abyss

Chapter 365 Reflection

Lancelot 'woke' up.

To be exact, only his consciousness woke up.Lancelot found himself now just a vaguely glowing shadow on a bare island.Floating in the center of the island was something he was very familiar with - a huge cyan bamboo slip, which was the treasure left to him by Han Tianzun.

So it is not difficult to guess where it is: the depths of his own sea of ​​consciousness.In the past, when he was practicing, he occasionally 'down'ed to this place, but it was difficult to stay for too long. According to the records in the small bamboo slips, he had to wait until the alchemy period before he could freely enter his sea of ​​consciousness. It is also the focus of cultivation during the alchemy period.

Lancelow tried to recall what happened just now, but found that his memory ended when the veil on Cang Ye's face was about to be lifted. He couldn't remember what the mother of demons really looked like, but from what he now Judging from the current situation, I must have seen it.

Kara Lin said before that Cang Ye's true face was so terrifying that she was unwilling to accept it. Those who had seen her true face all died, and some of them were revived by powerful magic afterwards, but they couldn't remember it at all. The sights I have seen.

Lancelot was obviously not dead yet, and he didn't know if it was because of a layer of mirrors, or because the small bamboo slips in the sea of ​​consciousness protected his primordial spirit.But he's obviously not in a normal state either, because he can't 'float' his consciousness and regain control of his body as usual.

After several useless attempts, Lancelot knew that there must be something wrong with his physical body at this moment, and he was in a state similar to petrification or sealing, probably due to the curse power contained in the true face of the mother of demons.He returned to the small bamboo slips, tried a little bit, and found that he could still read the contents of the small bamboo slips normally, which made him feel a little relieved in the predicament.

Since there was no other way for the time being, Lancelow simply sat cross-legged on the ground and recalled the details of this operation.

The operation went smoothly before Brutal accidentally opened the safe door.The trick of turning into a succubus to infiltrate a demon facility always works, it's almost unbelievably simple, if the succubus is also very good at fighting, everything will become very simple-maybe Tijana is in the process of establishing the town of Twin Bridges This strategy is not rarely used in China?

Now he already knew that the safe hidden behind the painting was a trap, simple and clever at the same time.Although his spiritual sense issued an early warning at the last moment, even if he went to pull the door, it would definitely be too late to stop, and he did not notice any abnormalities before that.

Think about it carefully, this trap requires the cooperation of the mother of demons herself. Would an abyss lord pay attention to a certain mirror for decades?Demons have eternal life, but they are definitely not boring to that extent.Apparently, the Mother of Demons knew about the arrival of Lancelot and his group in advance, and was waiting for them before the end of their journey.

So the question is, why would she know?Was it revealed at the time of Gormen Di Colia?Lancelow carefully recalled every detail of his past few days, and confirmed that such a situation did not exist.The only thing that could go wrong was when they went to scout the terrain of the fortress. Maybe there was some kind of imperceptible detection magic that discovered their whereabouts?

Or maybe there is a traitor in the team, who quietly sent an alarm to the demon side?

This was the last reason Lancelot would accept, but he had to examine the possibility.Obviously, the biggest suspect is Camone. If the drow betrayed them, the informant should have happened after Aramiel left the code word and before they helped the dark elves get rid of the pursuers. Lancelot decided to return to the hotel Camone didn't make any unusual moves afterwards.

What happened to those chasers?coincide?Or is it a trouble that everyone solves smoothly?
The infiltrating plan was formulated on the eve of departure, why did Urgogg (Lancelow couldn't think of anyone else but it) decided that everyone would go straight to its office?And the setting of that trap is also very strange, it will only be triggered after all the defense forces are defeated or bypassed, but if Urgog already knows that someone is coming to steal the battle plan, there is a better way to deal with it, why? Just want to set up such a trap?

Most importantly, the function of this trap seems to be more like capturing rather than killing intruders?
Lancelot felt as if a basin of cold water had suddenly been poured on his head.capture?Who in their party is worth capturing?Not himself, nor a scholar of the Dark Order, nor the son of some master dwarf artisan.Only one person could possibly be worth such a fight with the Mother of Demons—

Elotesia, the succubus who forsook the path of evil, a noble paladin.

Lancelot has been in this world for some time. Thanks to those knowledgeable friends, he has a general understanding of the two core sources of power in the multiverse: magic and soul.Different from the world he came from, the magic here is not so mysterious, it can be recognized, researched and mastered, even an ordinary person who lacks talent (such as Kara Lin) can pass the day after tomorrow. Work hard to gain the ability to use magic.

The various demons and ghosts living in the outer planes are more focused on the use of souls.Demons are allowed to torment the souls of sinners for the energy that sustains Baator; demons are keen to corrupt good souls for their own; even powers strive to spread their faith, and the most steadfast Followers die and are reborn in their divine kingdom, eventually merging with the deity itself.

According to the information that everyone learned when they went to the instant fortress to rescue Elotesia, the soul of the succubus paladin obviously has great power, so that many forces have offered a lot of money to get her, even the devil. He dispatched a deep-hell refining demon general, the top-ranking existence in the Nine Prisons, second only to the Devil Grand Duke.They were almost destined to succeed, but it was a pity that Lancelot... summoned the unknown person, and all the plans of the Baatezu were in vain.

Thinking of this, Lancelow realized another abnormality in Urgog's office—everything was too organized.Axiian had inadvertently complained about whether the demon general had obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Elotesia agreed that the room was too orderly by Tanari standards, but Lancelot didn't care at the time.

Further reminiscent of their encounter in the Great Abyss, the withered lord Satugula who transformed into Baatezu, Lancelot found that he seemed to be always involved in the conspiracy of the Nine Prisons against the Abyss. I accidentally ran into the good deeds of the devils, but this time luck was not on my side.

At this moment, there was a sudden violent shaking from above the isolated island. Lancelot looked up and found that the fog surrounding him was rapidly dissipating, and a feeling similar to 'buoyancy' appeared, pushing his mental body Fly up quickly.
