The knight in the abyss

Chapter 40 Preparations for Karalin

The dark red sun on the Wanyuan Plain hung obliquely on the horizon, making it unclear whether it was morning or dusk.On the barren and barren land, a four-wheeled carriage was heading south at a moderate speed.

It may not be accurate to say that it is a carriage, because the two creatures pulling the carriage do not look like normal horses.They were as black as solidified magma, but blazing flames were burning on its hooves, mane, and tail.

This is the Nightmare, an evil creature transformed from the noble Pegasus, serving powerful evil creatures such as the Lich, Death Knight, or Demon Lord.

As an action supported by the Council of Artisans, Barende was given a brass whistle inscribed with a mysterious rune.Blowing this whistle requires a lot of lung capacity, but then a wagon large enough to carry eight people, pulled by two nightmares, appears to serve those who call them.Wagons can exist for 4 hours, or whistle again to dismiss them, after which they need to wait at least 4 hours before they can be summoned again.

In theory, the summoned Nightmare must obey the summoner's orders, but the old dwarf who handed the whistle to Barende said it's better to prepare some meat and potatoes that the Nightmare likes to eat, otherwise they may be deliberately misinterpreted. your command and make the passenger's travel experience as thrilling as possible.

The group of people who prepared jerky and cassava in advance naturally did not experience much pain, except for the sins that travel in the abyss itself, including but not limited to rough ground (of course there are no roads here), strange The strong winds, the sharply rising temperature, and the constant emergence of various small demons and abyss beasts.

"The abyss is indeed the hometown of demons, but those more powerful guys generally belong to a certain legion and are unlikely to be seen in the wild. In the wasteland between steel fortresses and war fortresses, the survival game between low-level demons is always on. It's all happening."

Karalin practiced his sling as he acted as a guide.These wild monsters tried to charge the passing wagons, and they were all targeted by Kalarin.Of course, in most cases, this can only make the enemy more annoyed, and he has to rely on Lancelot to help cut the guy who is too close in half.

"What's the point of this?" Pluto asked curiously.

"The rules of the game in the abyss force them to attack each other, and those who are stronger and more treacherous tend to survive, absorb the essence of the loser, and repeat the process." Karalin threw a smooth stone, trailing Slightly deviated from a meatball with three mouths. "Some lucky guys can accumulate enough Essence energy before being killed to be promoted to more powerful demons. The process of promotion is extremely painful, more than any punishment you can imagine, and the bodies of demons mean that they You don't lose consciousness in the process, you have to be conscious of every detail of the process, which makes them more and more brutal."

"Why is this happening?" Lancelot remembered what happened after he gave Dink a little energy. "I mean, what's in it for them?"

"There is no benefit. The behavior of low-level demons is more from the fear of death. When they are stronger, they will learn to destroy the beauty." Karalin spun the sling back and forth in front of him, and then threw it violently. " Remember when I told you about Eminem's point of view on the will of the abyss? This phenomenon is one of the evidences, because the end product is a group of evil, twisted, brutal and experienced fighting middle-level demons, can't wait to put themselves The pain experienced spreads to every corner of the multiverse."

The gang of Pluto swung a hammer and smashed a claw that had been on the carriage into a pancake.

"Your accuracy is too bad." The dwarf muttered dissatisfiedly, "When I'm fighting the enemy, please don't use this thing to try to help."

"So I'm practicing." Karalin once again threw a stone slightly smaller than an egg, and this time he finally hit the target accurately.

The one he hit was a small demon with twelve legs, like a mutated insect and a goblin sewn together.The other party was only slightly dizzy, and then rushed over at a faster speed, and was finally cut into pieces by Lancelot's great sword.

"It seems that even if it hits, the power is not very good." Pluto laughed.

"Because I'm just practicing." Karalin opened a corner of his robe, revealing the straps that were tied across his body. There were many small grids on it, and bottles of potions were inserted into them.

"Uh, what is all this?" Pluto looked at Karalin curiously. The scholar's appearance today is very strange, with various pockets and containers hanging on his body, which makes people feel like a traveling juggler.

"Some dangerous items that are not suitable for carrying around." Karalin took out a small green bottle and shook it in front of Pluto's eyes, "This is a bottle of strong acid, they are my real ammunition."

"Uh." Pluto took a step back in fear, "Remember to remind me to stay away from your room."

"Don't be afraid, this kind of special bottle must be broken with great force." Karalin was very satisfied with the dwarf's response, and reached out and took out a few more bottles of blue liquid. "It's a strong base, and we'd better each bring two bottles."

"Great, I almost forgot about it." Barende slapped his thigh, grabbed two bottles and put them in his pocket.

"Well, who can explain why you should bring this thing?" Pluto was still reluctant to carry such a dangerous item with him. "I've been down the mine countless times, and I've never brought this thing with me."

"That's because you don't worry about these things every time." Barende said angrily, "Have you forgotten those pesky slimes in the ground? Strong alkali can react violently with their acid, and when you You'll be glad to have a bottle of this stuff handy when you're caught by a ooze."

"Uh, this seems to have been said in the miners' school." Pluto took the two bottles in embarrassment and put them away.

Lancelot stretched out his hand too. He was sure he could break free from the ooze with his own strength, but bringing two bottles with him would obviously be helpful in rescuing his troubled comrade.

"What preparations have you made?" Lancelot asked curiously, looking at the strange equipment on Karalin's body.

"You've seen my flash ring, it's great for monsters who are used to living in the dark. I've also made a necklace that detects magic, a staff that casts light, and all kinds of A gadget that can release 0th-level spells." Karalin then opened the shackle he was slung over, showing the various scrolls that were neatly placed inside, "Most of them are detecting secret doors and feather fall techniques. Auxiliary spells such as. I don’t know much about 2nd level magic. There are giant magic and see through invisibility, but the most important thing is magic weapons. The enemies who need magic weapons are not easy to deal with. I hope we I won't be able to use this spell again."

"Hopefully." Lancelot wasn't sure.

Not far away, a black hole appeared in the field of vision, and it kept getting bigger.

The destination of their trip has arrived.
