The knight in the abyss

Chapter 823 In the Tavern

"That is to say, Peyton Derek has recovered his strength, and he is the commander of the army of undead besieging the Hagwood?" Soveris said with a solemn expression, "And that terrifying meteorite from the sky is also Was it summoned by magic?"

"That's right." Lancelot nodded, "The Lich has probably obtained the power left by Melkor, the former Lord of the Dead, in that ancient temple. We speculate that its strength may be It has reached the level of a demigod."

There was a noisy discussion in the tavern, and everyone's expressions were ugly.When the undead army attacked the hag forest, many arakkoa turned into birds and watched the battle from a distance. Even those who were not at the scene had already heard about it from their companions.In addition to the meteorite used to deal with Lancelot's group, the Lich also displayed many other terrifying methods, such as the poisonous mist that instantly withered a large area of ​​trees, and turned a hag into dust with a flash of green light.In addition, it has an undead army that is absolutely loyal, obeys orders unconditionally, and can be replenished infinitely. Now that the strength of the Lich has reached the level of a demigod, it is hard not to make these rebels feel desperate.

"This is really...not a wonderful change." The brown-haired elf covered his face with his hands and rubbed it fiercely, "From a positive point of view, our enemies have changed from liches and hags to only liches, at least It makes things a little easier..."

"I agree." Lancelot shrugged, "Also, there are other good news. I'm sorry that I can't reveal too much to you now, but the Lich is definitely not invincible, as long as you use the right method... "

"The correct method?" Soveris' face suddenly changed when he heard this, "Is that related to... His Royal Highness Fran?"

"If you mean that she needs to be sacrificed as some kind of sacrifice, then there is no need to worry about it. I can assure you that there is no such arrangement in the plan." Lancelow smiled, although the truth in his body There are not many yuan left, and the hearing is not affected, "However, as you already know, our enemies are very powerful, and various accidents may happen during the battle..."

"..." Soveris was silent for a while, then took a peek at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the corner, and sighed softly, "Of course, each of us has the consciousness to sacrifice our lives for this. So, about that 'The right way', is there anything we can do?"

"Of course." Lancelot nodded. "First of all, I want to confirm with you that all the crows in this fortress were actually transformed by your people, is that so?"

"Not all, most of the crows in the fortress are real birds, only the ones within thirty feet of this room at the moment." Soveris looked up at the open ceiling, "This is Raven Castle The biggest secret, so that the enemy has never been able to determine the true number of our family... However, all the crows in this kingdom are our friends. They are very intelligent birds. Of course, some of them were once mortals, But they have forgotten their true identity and how to change back, but I don't know how many."

"Enough is enough. The most important thing right now is to grasp the Lich King's movements. Where is it? What does it want to do next? What kind of deployment will its undead army have? Based on this information, we can formulate A step-by-step plan..."

Lancelot's calm tone had a special appeal, and the atmosphere of panic, fear, and bewilderment in the air of the tavern subsided unknowingly, and everyone listened to him seriously, and couldn't help but believe this. The tall, muscular yet articulate human knights could really lead them to ultimate victory.

"No problem, I'll make arrangements later." Soveris nodded, "Once there is any new situation, I will be the first time... Will you stay here?"

"Well, Karaline and Barend are seriously injured. Even with the help of the priest's magic, it will still take some time to fully recover." Lancelow nodded, "I have disturbed you all a lot during this period. .”

"Don't be so alien, just treat Ravencastle as your home."

"Thank you very much." Lancelot nodded to the other party, "There is one more thing...the Wolf King's Nest Hotel in Chadgori Town, do you know about that?"

"Of course. If I remember correctly, it was the baroness who instigated you to go to the lost temple of the Lord of the Dead. Could it be that you suspect..."

"She is a possible breakthrough." Lancelow didn't directly say anything about the bones, "Please keep an eye on that place for me, and tell me immediately if there is anything abnormal. But be careful, the baroness herself The strength is not weak, you don't rush to spy, just watch from a distance."

------------

Following Soveris, Lancelot, Little Isa, and Fran went down to the cellar of the tavern. After passing through the stacked wine barrels, they entered the small room with the raven statue again.Another companion of the group, Tanya, the witch swordsman, was kneeling and meditating in front of the statue that symbolized her mentor, the Crow Queen, or the Sovereign. After hearing the sound of someone coming, she slowly walked away. He opened his eyes and withdrew from the meditative state.

"Did you get any omens?" Lancelot asked softly towards the half-elf.

"Well." Tanya nodded affirmatively, "It's just some broken images, I still need some time to decipher the implication, but the figure of the same woman appeared several times in those images, I think it may be The instructor is trying to tell me that that person is the key to solving the current predicament..."

"A woman?" Lancelot frowned, "Is it the lady from the Wolf King's Lair?"

"Absolutely not." The half-elf flatly denied, "My intuition tells me that it should be the clue mentioned in the previous divination of the secrets of the Demon Realm - a potential powerful helper, a legendary man with a crazy mind. Women... do you know of such people in this kingdom, Monsieur Soveris?"

"Satisfy these two conditions at the same time? I'm afraid there is none." The brown-haired elf shook his head, "If there is nothing else, then I'll go back first, and you can talk slowly..."

"Wait a minute." Lancelot stopped the other party, "I'm sorry, there were too many people just now, and some things are inconvenient to say... about the 'correct method' I mentioned."

"Oh?" The elf immediately became interested, "Can I ask first, how did you get this information?"

"In the temple of the Lord of the Dead, there is not only the remaining power of Melkor." Lancelow said with a serious expression, "We have also received a powerful help - Kelemvor, the current dead man A clone of the Lord, my trustworthy father...friend, has come to that temple. He has the ability to completely defeat Peyton Derek as a lich, but only if the battle takes place in the ancient temple within range.
