The knight in the abyss

Chapter 893 Goodbye Shuangqiao Town

"My master, Charon, the Lord of the River Styx, has always held great respect for the Lord of Death and the Raven Queen." Du Yinmo replied respectfully, and Lancelot could hear a kind of indifference from the other party's voice. Obvious fear, "Our people have served the messengers of the Lord of Death since ancient times... that is a great honor."

"In ancient times?" Lancelot asked curiously, "Which Lord of the Dead are you referring to?"

"He refers to Jergal, the lord of the end of all things, the first lord of the dead." I don't know when, little Isa got out of Lancelot's hair again, "However, during the period of Melkor, this This collaboration stopped for some reason and has never been resumed since..."

"You are... the favored person of the Lord of the Dead?" Weiss seemed to be taken aback, and took a step back suddenly, even the hood slipped down carelessly, revealing his bare forehead, "Wait a minute , you seem to be... the favored one of the Raven Queen?"

"Huh?" Little Isa wrinkled her nose, "Can I think that in the past thousands of years, Duyin Demons have been serving the Raven Queen?"

"Uh... this..."

"It's okay, it's not important." Little Isa shook her head, "Can I understand your attitude as that your master, Charon, the Lord of the River Styx, wants to ask the Lord of the Dead?" , and Jergal, His Master, for the goodwill?"

"Of course." Weiss shuddered and bowed deeply to the vampire, "As I said just now, this is a great honor..."

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

After boarding the boat, Weiss told everyone that the place they were just now was a relatively hidden tributary of the Styx River. After sailing southward for about fifty miles, it will merge into the part east of Deathknell Town. It is called the Blood River, and from there, sailing eastward for another [-] miles, you will arrive at Shuangqiao Town.

At the normal sailing speed of the Duke of Bones, it will take about a day and a half to arrive, but since he wants to pay his respects to the Lord of the Dead, Weiss will naturally use his housekeeping skill of translating demons to make a phase jump——through one end of the straight , the wide river channel to accelerate, even the boat and people jumped directly into the astral world, and then reappeared in another water area of ​​the Styx River.In essence, this is a kind of teleportation magic, but the medium of casting the spell happens to be the ship itself, and Du Yinmo has more supernatural abilities related to ships.

When the ship that once belonged to the devil returned to the abyss plane again, the outline of Shuangqiao Town had appeared in everyone's sight, but it was no longer what the partners remembered - the original towering and neat city walls were almost It ceased to exist, and several ominous columns of black smoke rose from places in the city where no one could see.In the higher part of the city, Tijana's iconic red castle has been destroyed, and landslides are everywhere on the surface, as if a castle made of sand was visited by waves, and the tower hanging from the highest point A banner silently confirmed all the bad news that everyone heard along the way:

A huge white palm with six fingers silently announced who was responsible for everything that happened here.Lancelot didn't say anything, just stared at the flag intently, his whole body was as cold as a stone dug out of a snowdrift, the succubus Letitia who returned to the abyss with everyone opened her mouth wide, It seemed that they still didn't understand what they saw, but Barend and Brutal, who were on the side, were even more excited.

"Damn, damn, damn!!!" The young dwarf knelt on the ground, hammering the ground with both fists, "Adric...Adbek...Derg...Dain...my good brothers...I I will definitely avenge you...I swear..."

"I thought I was lucky to have another chance after my death." Barend slumped on the ground weakly, and seemed to have aged a lot, "My people, may you be blessed by God the Father." Rest in peace in the palace..."

As the Duke of Bones approached, the defenders in Shuangqiao Town also noticed this strange warship.A large number of berserker demons began to appear on the city wall. Even if they did not have the eyesight of Lancelot and Aramiel, and could not clearly see the vicious and hungry expressions on the faces of the demons, other partners could still see the cold light reflected from the weapons in their hands. Understand that the new owners of the place are not very hospitable.

"It seems that we are late this time, sir." Du Yinmo walked quietly behind Lancelot, "Do you want to get closer?"

"No need." Lancelow shook his head, "Go around, there is a fjord about six miles downstream, and we will disembark there."

"As you wish." Weiss nodded and retreated quietly.

"Lancelot, why did you disembark from there?" Karaline asked worriedly, "Where are we going next?"

"Go to the Broken Temple." Lancelot looked away from the ruins of Shuangqiao Town, "There may be survivors there."

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

When the Duke of Bones sailed through Shuangqiao Town, they were still "warmly" welcomed by the defenders.Javelins, falling rocks, and Quasaimos flew down from the top of the city. Most of the arrows did not pose any threat, except for the Quasaimos, which can adjust their ballistics in the air, which gave the depressed partners just a chance to vent way.Don't look at Lancelot's silent look just now, his hands are more ruthless than anyone else, the blade goes in with the head and comes out with the buttocks, and none of the enemies who died in his hands has a complete body, that fierce look Even the defenders on the city wall are a little bit scared.

When there were no more projectiles falling around the Duke of Bones, its entire deck was covered with a layer of sticky, foul-smelling blood, which made the battleship, which was originally made of bones, look even more eerie. , but the owner himself has no opinion on this.In fact, Du Yinmo was quite happy in his heart. After all, as a demon, what better paint than blood?

The conquerors of Shuangqiao Town did not have a navy that could be used to pursue them, and everyone spent the last part of their journey in a relatively peaceful environment.About half an hour later, the partners disembarked and set foot on the barren, cracked land of the Wanyuan Plain again.

It must be said that the river Styx will not make the land along its banks fertile, its poisonous water will only make everything worse.

The location where everyone got off the boat was the closest point to the dwarf temple in the Broken Mountain Range, and they continued to move forward from here, and they could reach their destination before sunset.Although the hidden holy land was established not long ago, it has become the belief center of the large dwarf population in Shuangqiao Town. There is a small temple guard all the year round. It is their last refuge.

In addition, Lancelot still had a little fantasy in his heart. After all, Tijana's last message was to let him go to the dwarf temple. Maybe there, his succubus lover left clues about how to resurrect?

While the human knight was walking, thoughts of one kind or another were turning in his mind.Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, frowned, and listened carefully to the sound of the wind blowing from the mountains.

　Sorry again to my brothers, the project I worked on last week turned over, and I was arguing with my colleagues every night... I went back to Shanghai this week, and I finally have time to fish...
