The knight in the abyss

Chapter 682
"Fall asleep." Aramiel shrugged, "It will take at least eight hours to wake up, and I will continue to relive this beautiful dream for the rest of my life."

"Almost." Lancelot rolled his eyes, "Did you forget? We still have questions for her."

"She already told me." Aramir pointed to a small door under the arena, "Enter through that door, there will be candlesticks of two sizes on the wall, the third large candlestick on the left and the sixth small candlestick on the right." The candlestick is the switch for the entrance to the secret passage, the larger one turns counterclockwise, the smaller one turns clockwise... at least that's what she told me."

"Okay..." Lancelot raised half of his eyebrows, "Shall we start now? Or do you need to take a break too?"

"Of course not, I'm full of energy just like when I woke up in the morning." Aramiel showed a smug smile, and then his face became serious, "But before I leave, I have something to tell you, About Yi Ni..."

"Please, you should call her Irina." Lancelot tried hard to restrain the urge to roll his eyes again, "What's wrong with her?"

"First of all, it should be the former Grand Duke Bayer of Avernas who sent her to Vesuvius..."

"Well, she slipped a bit before... What new information did you get?"

"That's right... Later she called Bayer's name several times, and even said 'Forgive me, Grand Duke Bayer!', 'I have fallen completely, Grand Duke Bayer!', 'Duke Bayer is sorry!' kind of nonsense..."

"...Are you sure she didn't shout those words on purpose to mislead you?"

"Impossible. At that time, she should have lost the ability to think. Only the strongest thoughts will remain in her mind, and in that delirious state, she can't realize that she is speaking out her thoughts."

"...how the hell did you do it?"

"Professional attitude." Alamiel spread his hands, "You have to take this matter seriously, not just treat it as some kind of casual entertainment..."

"Stop, let's end this topic first." Lancelot sighed deeply, "If Erinia is really an agent sent by the former Grand Duke of Avernas, then some of her strange behaviors can indeed be explained. , such as why she hid from her compatriots after breaking the city... But this has created some new questions, what is the purpose of Beyer sending her to Vesuvius? Did she finish? If not, what stopped lost her?"

"This is the second thing I want to tell you." The elf priest frowned, "She mentioned Vesuvius' treasure house, and there seems to be something in it that she has been unable to obtain..."

"Oh?" Lancelot was aroused by a certain word, "Where is that treasure house?"

"It's at the bottom of the magma lake where the defensive circle is buried. Vesuvius seems to think that no thief can approach its storage room except a Balor like him..."

"But it doesn't make sense." The human knight frowned, "Any devil can ignore the damage of the flames and walk into the magma, and Irina, who is a erinia, is of course no exception. If it was because of Vivian Su Wei stared too late to make a move, so she should have plenty of time to take action after the city is broken..."

"My guess is that it's something that's hard to take away in a short time." Aramiel shrugged, "At least she can't."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm referring to an upper-level artifact similar to Star Strike. This kind of holy object is nothing to ordinary people, but it seems to weigh several tons in the hands of demons, and it will actively release power to damage the holding it. Demons. Unless you are prepared in advance, you will definitely not be able to take it away in a short time..."

"Interesting." Lancelot rubbed his chin, "Let me string together the clues: Irina is a spy sent by Bayer, and at the same time, she doesn't want to contact the devils who broke the volcano fortress because those Her brethren would think she was truly depraved and treated cruelly. But according to your latest information, Irina is on a secret mission to retrieve an important item to raise Erinia's status in Baatezu society. , it is impossible not to get a chance to defend, and as long as the devils are brought to Vesuvius' treasury, it should be easy to prove their innocence..."

"This is also what confuses me." The elf priest frowned, "Maybe she is really depraved, thinking that Tanari's way of doing things as she pleases is the true meaning of life?"

"Why? A Barlow Balrog who keeps her unsatisfied?" Lancelot shook his head, "There must be other reasons... what she wants should be what Bayer wants, Rather than wanting to prove his innocence, maybe he didn’t want that item to fall into the hands of other devil princes, and the devil army that broke down the volcano castle was loyal to..."

The eyes of the two froze at the same time, and the answer was already obvious!

"The current Grand Duke of Avernas, the supreme commander of the Devil's Blood War Legion, was once an archangel, Zariel!" Alamiel took a breath, "We just speculated that the item was from the heavens. The sacred object, maybe its previous owner was Zariel!"

"Well, the complete story may be like this... Vesuvius, who once led his army into the hell of Bator, got a powerful sacred item by accident. It didn't know what it was at the time, but just brought it back My lair, hoping to find a way to use the energy contained in it... At the same time, the former Grand Duke of Avernas, Beyer, who was replaced by Zariel, has been looking for that item, and somehow deduced that It probably fell into the hands of Vesuvius. Beyer sent out spy Irina, hoping to steal the item, and she even offered to help us, the Demon Alliance, to retake the Volcano, but could not let it It fell into the hands of the devil who was loyal to Zariel. Obviously, this item must have a special connection to Zariel, and it can play a special role in fighting against the former archangel, so Bayer wants to get it so much it…"

"Perfect reasoning." Aramir applauded involuntarily, "With just that little information, you can deduce so much content, and I can't find any loopholes at all..."

"There are still." Lancelow glanced at the elf pointedly, "If you think about it carefully, didn't she really let you know about the treasure house on purpose? You said it just now, the demons It's hard to get it out, but maybe there's no obstacle for us..."

"Uh..." Pastor Suni's face became quite embarrassed, "She did mention the storage room under the lava lake very early... But the part about calling Bayer must have revealed her true feelings!"

"Maybe she just wants to make you more excited." Lancelot shrugged, "Thinking about it, it's really exciting."
