The knight in the abyss

Chapter 795 Knowing Nothing

"I'm more concerned about why this monster appeared here? The two ghosts who jumped out of the stone didn't mention it..." Brutal picked up a stone from the ground and threw it viciously at the giant skull. Going over, "Little Isa, they probably lied to you, right? I remember that Melkor and Kelemvor are also enemies?"

"Impossible..." Little Isa's expression looked extremely aggrieved. "The marks on their bodies are very clear. They obey the servants of the Lord of the Dead, and they also answered my call. There is no reason to lie to me..."

"Then what's going on?" Due to his father's injury, Brutal's tone was rather rude, "Is it a prank left by the former Lord of the Dead?"

"I don't think so." Kalarin's voice sounded first, and then the figure appeared in the air, "It is rumored that Melkor does have a large number of undead servants, but there has never been a death-eyed tyrant. Beholders like this Creatures are extremely conceited, and even the gods are ignored, it is hard to believe that this is the arrangement of the former Lord of the Dead..."

"Is there such a possibility that this monster was actually placed here by someone else?" Lancelot rubbed his chin, and slowly said to his partners, "The two ghost guards just mentioned that the last time the stone gate was opened It's a group of old women, so it should refer to the hags. Since the hags have a way to open the stone door, they must also know how to activate the altar. If the hags don't want the stone door to be opened again, then they are likely to be here Make some arrangements."

"Hmm...you have a point in saying that." Brutal let out a bad breath, "Anyway, we have to have a good argument with those two guys who lied about the military information, and I want to hear how they plan to explain it. Come on, let's go now just go!"

Brutal straightened his body and was about to sit up from the ground, but his eyes went black for a while, and he lay back on the ground with a bang.

"Uh..." The dwarf propped up his upper body in embarrassment, "I might...need a little rest. It shouldn't take too long..."

"It's not just you, all of us need to rest." Alamiel looked at Lancelot, "How about a short break for an hour? I can perform some long-time ritual magic to let everyone recover as much as possible... "

"Okay." Lancelot nodded, "I'm fine, leave the sentry task to me."

after an hour.

All the companions have fully recovered, including the old dwarf Barend who was dying not long ago.In Lancelow's previous cognition, this is impossible, but there is divine power and magic in this world, relying on the healing skills of the elf priest and the few things that the succubus lord gave Lancelow before departure. With a box full of healing potions, everyone not only became alive and kicking again, but also looked better than before.

While the elf priest was reciting a lengthy prayer, Brutal, who recovered a little bit of strength, turned over the hill made of skeletons, and to his great dismay, there was nothing there.Lancelot had already expected this. This place was obviously not the lair of the Death-Eyed Tyrant, so of course there would be no loot to be found.

But in the end they took a souvenir - the head of the Death-Eyed Tyrant.This was Karaline's reminder that as a natural spellcaster, this giant skeleton might be useful to Tijana. Without a doubt, this would be the most special gift Lancelot had ever given.However, according to Kara Lin, in the lower planes, this form of gift is quite common, especially when the head belongs to a very powerful individual, and its meaning is similar to the roses representing victory after a knightly tournament.

The speed of returning was much faster than the previous exploration. It took less than 10 minutes for everyone to return to the hall with colonnades, gargoyles and stone gates.

Stepping into this room that he had just left not long ago, Lancelot frowned slightly. He faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say exactly what it was.The stone door was still tightly closed, and there seemed to be no change, and the two ghost guards did not take the initiative to show up because of their arrival.

Everyone was about to walk towards the stone gate, so that the little vampire could summon the guards in the statue again, but Tanya suddenly stopped in her tracks, staring blankly at the pillars supporting the dome.

"what happened?"

Lancelot asked immediately, but in the next second, he also realized what was wrong.

"The position of the gargoyle has changed." The half-elf explained to everyone, "The two missing gargoyles were originally facing the stone gate and the other was facing the side passage we just went to, but now they have become one To the exit, one to the side we haven't been to..."

"It seems that the noise we heard just now was the rotation of these pillars." Karaline speculated, "Maybe if we activate the mechanism on the other side, the stone door will open?"

"Perhaps, if those two ghosts are not lying." Brutal shrugged. "I doubt it."

"Come out, gravekeeper!" Little Isa walked in front of the two stone statues, "I have some questions, you must give me an explanation!"

"What are your instructions... Honorable... The Last Passer?"

Accompanied by disturbing whispers, two cloaked ghostly skeletons floating in the air reappeared.Although the undead seldom show any emotion, according to Lancelow's observation, seeing his group reappear alive, the other party did not show any surprise.

"Why did you do what you said, and there will be a dead-eyed tyrant who just wants to kill us?" Little Isa said sternly, showing a rather majestic aura, "What do you want to do about it?" Did you say that?"

"...we don't know anything, emissary..." the two ghost guards replied without any fluctuation in tone, "we will only appear when...we are awakened...other areas...we can't know..."

"That is to say, you don't know the situation after the activation of the other altar?"

"...Yes." Ghost Guard paused, then continued, "...activate another altar...offer blood...the stone gate will open..."

"Hey!" Brutal yelled in dissatisfaction, "If it's your fault, you've seen it, it's useless to us!"

The ghostguard glanced at the dwarf, but ignored him.

"Brother, what should I do?" Little Isa turned to look at Lancelot, "Do you want to believe them?"

"What do you think?"

"...I think it's okay." The little vampire nodded earnestly, "I know it sounds weird, but I can really know that they are not lying..."

"Okay, I believe you." Lancelot smiled. "To some extent, this is your territory. Let's go, there is still a pool of blood waiting for us to fill..."
