The knight in the abyss

Chapter 481 Going to the Great Abyss Again

three days later.

Lancelot and his partners came to the pier in Shuangqiao Town, ready to take a boat to start their journey.According to the plan, they will first take a boat to Lake Main, and then enter the Great Abyss through Kai-Oin, the Tower of Bones, and look for the portal to the Iron Ice Plane.

It can be seen that the wharf in Shuangqiao Town was once a busy place. There are many large loading and unloading machines piled up in the stone work area, and the heavy dust covering the surface shows that they have not been used for a long time.

The culprit of all this is naturally the bloody battle.After entering the Abyss, Grand Duke Zariel of Avernas immediately ordered the blockade of the River Styx. Since then, the caravans that came by water have almost disappeared.This was of course a huge blow to Shuangqiao Town, but fortunately the demand for weapons and armor increased dramatically as the war approached, making up for the decline in income due to reduced trading activities.

The only thing that can break through the devil's blockade is the small boat controlled by Duyinmo, but these inferior yugoloths never carry goods, only people.When I went to the Great Abyss last time, Elotesia was in the team, and it was not a good idea to take a paladin to cross the blockade of Baatezu by boat, but this time there is no such concern.

Another common way to travel is through teleportation magic, but it is not very wise to go to the Great Abyss this way. Due to the characteristics of that special layer, the end of the teleportation will be distorted, and travelers will be teleported to random locations on random layers of the abyss. , such as tens of thousands of feet underground, the center of an active volcano, the dining table of the abyss lord at the current level... Except for a small group of fanatics in the perception society, no one would want such a travel experience.

Also, Tijana couldn't open a portal that would send everyone 'near' the Great Abyss.Despite her powerful magical powers, the succubus lord is only a warlock, not a mage, and this distinction is not obvious in her own territory, but this kind of long-distance teleportation without a clear location is still beyond her ability.

Lancelow walked to the embankment of the pier, took out a brass bell from his arms, carefully dipped it in the water of the River Styx and shook it gently.Others stayed under an abandoned tent, escaping the mild sun overhead.

The bell is another small prop given by Tijana. Its usage is just like Lancelow just showed. The nearby Duyinmo can hear the call of the bell and come to provide services.Because she didn't want to attract the necessary attention, the succubus lord didn't come to the pier to see him off, but she just left Hagrid Manor half an hour ago and wished everyone the best.

"Why hasn't the ship arrived yet?" Brutal looked up and down impatiently, "Are you sure you're using the right method? Could it be that there isn't a demon in the vicinity?"

As it turns out, Brutal is the most enthusiastic about the adventure.The kingdom of evil giants, the ancient relics of the ancestors, plus a white dragon, this satisfies all the fantasies of a dwarf about adventure, and according to the standards of their race, Brutal is still very young, and he has not lost his love for his family because of his family. desire.

"Be patient, dwarf." Aramir leaned lazily on a pillar, holding a glass of light green drink with ice cubes in his hand, "The boats of Duyinmo don't move by teleportation, they need time."

Compared to Pluto, Aramiel is not particularly excited about the upcoming trip.As a priest of Sune, he didn't expect to encounter any romance on that plane.In addition to wanting to help his friends, the biggest driving force behind his progress is the battle with giants.Although the hatred is not as strong as that of the dwarves, the elves agree with the dwarves that dead giants are good giants.

Another caster in the team, Kara Lin, was much more active than him.As long as the risk is within a certain level, Kara Lin is very happy to explore any level of the abyss, and the steel ice is originally a plane worthy of in-depth study in the abyss.On the one hand, it is because of its lord, Kostchurch is one of the few abyss lords who most often attack the main material plane, and on the other hand, it is because of the situation at that level - the steel ice field is one of the few in the abyss. There are several planes completely controlled by non-demonic creatures, and there is much to observe and record.

Of course, there is another factor that cannot be ignored, which is the rumor about the whereabouts of the dark scroll.Under Lancelow's persuasion, Karaline had already let go of his thoughts on recovering the holy relic of the cult, but now that the task assigned by the succubus lord also required going to the Iron Ice Field, the scholar inevitably moved his mind again.

On the night before departure, Karaline talked to Lancelot again. This time, the human knight did not refuse him, but agreed to pay extra attention to the clues about the artifact.Although Lancelow actually didn't promise anything, Karalin was satisfied with such an answer, because he knew that it was definitely not a perfunctory remark, and Lancelow had always been a man who kept his word.

The only one who didn't seem much interested in adventure was old Rip.In that battle with the incarnation of Aurul, the werewolf showed enough sophistication, which means that he must have a very exciting past.The current old Rip seems to prefer to spend time in the tavern, like an old dagger randomly thrown in the debris pile, and only finds the cold light on the blade at a special angle.

There is another important member in this adventure group, and that is little Isa.Just like the previous few times, the little vampire put his 'coffin' into Lancelow's dimensional bag, and he was sleeping soundly at the moment, and would come out to move around after the sun went down.

Just as everyone was a little bored waiting, the bell in Lancelot's hand hummed lowly.Everyone looked at him strangely, but found that a gray boat had already leaned against the embankment at some time.Standing at the bow was a skeleton that seemed to be wearing a cloak, looking at them with dark red eyes.

"Who is calling for the ferry?" The Ferryman noticed the bell in Lancelow's hand, and asked him with a voice similar to that of a dull saw sawing ice, "Where are you going?"

"There are five of us, and we are going to Lake Main near Kai-Oin." Lancelow pointed to the crowd behind him, "How much should I pay you for the boat?"

"That's not close. Even at my speed, it will take a whole day to get there." The boatman's eyes seemed to brighten up with excitement, "Each passenger needs to pay five hundred gold coins before boarding the boat. price."

"Okay." Lancelot agreed decisively, and handed over three rubies worth a thousand gold coins with white star-shaped markings, "The extra ones are offerings to Charon, thanks to its servants for providing Serve."

Both Tijana and Kalarin had reminded him not to try to haggle with the ferryman, and it is better to pay some extra tips, unless you want him to arrange an unexpected encounter.

"The Lord of the River Styx has received your respect, please board the boat, hehehehe..." Du Yinmo let out a strange smile, and took the fare paid by Lancelow, "By the way, we never Don’t participate in the battle of the passengers, you should know, right?”
