The knight in the abyss

Chapter 920 Conspiracy (and the announcement of changing the vest)

Before Brutal had time to ask any questions, Lancelot secretly made a special gesture, which is usually used in ambushes, meaning to keep calm, the enemy has not found us yet.

Although he didn't know where the enemy Lancelot was talking about, Brutal immediately knew that it was not the time to speak, so he closed his mouth tightly, silently waiting for the next instruction from the human knight.

Lancelot didn't say anything, just led everyone to the empty round table and left.He gently untied the dimensional bag at his waist, took out a gold coin from it, and said to the half-demon maid who came over:
"Four glasses of ale, without water. Is that enough?"

At the same time as he took out the money, a little bat quietly crawled out of the bag, and skillfully got into the human knight's hair.The coquettish maid didn't answer, but took Lancelot's coin away.Almost in the blink of an eye, there were four bubbling wine glasses on the table in front of everyone, and there was no change.

"Thank you." Lancelot nodded to the maid, and then whispered to someone, "I'm sorry, but logically speaking, you are not yet old enough to enter this kind of occasion, so I won't order wine for you."

After the maid walked away, Lancelot picked up the cup and took a sip. At the same time, he drew some kind of rune on the bottom of the cup with a concealed movement, and then put the cup back on the table.Seeing this, Brutal also wanted to get the wine glass, but the moment his hand touched the glass, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear, which made him almost throw the glass away in fright.

But after all, he is a dwarf warrior who has experienced many battles. Not only is his nerve very thick, but his reaction is as quick as a cat.He immediately realized that the voice came from the three ladies at the other end of the tavern. As for why he could hear it so far away, it must be Lancelot's trick.

The other partners also quickly discovered the magic of the cup. As long as they held the cup with their hands, they could clearly hear the conversation between the three ladies, and they were quickly attracted by the content of the conversation.

"...Venerica, are you sure your induction is correct? Molo's treasure house is in the tallest tower of the castle?"

"Correct."

"At least 100 million gold coins?"

"Correct."

"Don't ask, Taj, Venerica's scales are black, and her sensitivity to gold is better than yours and mine."

"Okay, okay, I'll join as a way to avenge our former employer... Then, let's talk about your plan again, Iserie."

"I've said it no less than ten times."

"I promise to listen carefully this time."

"...tomorrow night, Molo, the temporary owner of those treasures, will hold a banquet to celebrate his latest shameless betrayal. According to rumors in the streets, the demon lord has ordered enough liquor to bring down an entire army. His men All the adjutants will be at the banquet, and most likely the senior officers of Graz's stationed in the town will be invited, and if you want to see what's in his treasury, there's no better chance than tomorrow night."

"That obnoxious male succubus has a horrible sidekick, a wolf-snake. What's his name? Zeranonis?"

"Zeranox. It's the Overseer sent by the Graz Special."

"That guy is not easy to deal with. Even you, you shouldn't be immune to its poison, right?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. However, since it has been following Molo every step of the way, there is no reason why it will be separated from Molo during the banquet. We will have enough time to carry out operations. If the male succubi really Bring that wolf snake demon back, we don't have to fight them, just run, it will definitely not catch up to us, I still have this confidence."

"...Venerica, what do you say?"

"I'm going."

"Are those gold coins really that attractive to you?"

"It's fine. But they belong to the male succubus, and I just want to take them away."

"Okay, okay, let's do it according to Esserie's plan. Damn it, this wine makes me thirstier..."

The voices in everyone's ears gradually became smaller and finally disappeared.The three ladies continued to discuss other topics, but they were all insignificant. Lancelot and his companions had heard the most important part.

"Wow, I said, why do they look familiar, are they the three female dragons we brought back from the steel ice field?" Brutal covered his mouth with a cup, and sighed softly, "The dwarf survivors in the temple asked I’ve been there before, when Graz’zt’s army attacked, there were three-headed dragons in the sky to help defend. Afterwards, everyone was teleported away, and no one knew the fate of the three-headed dragon...”

"It seems that they are all safe and sound, which is great." Lancelow nodded. "To be honest, I was quite surprised to learn that they still came to help when they were attacked in Shuangqiao Town. Although Shuangqiao The town fell in the end, but we did not save them in vain."

"What are you going to do?" Aramiel asked curiously, "Prove your identity, and then ask them to help attack the portal? Isn't it too difficult?"

"No." Lancelot shook his head, "If my guess is correct, the portal will be destroyed soon, and we don't need to do it."

"Huh?" Brutal's eyes widened in surprise, "Is there anyone else who doesn't like that portal?"

"Of course, the devil." Caraline, who had been silent since just now, said, "The situation is already obvious. The devils will definitely make a move, and it will probably be tomorrow night. You think so too, Lancelot?"

"Wait a minute, I still don't understand..." Brutal leaned forward and asked eagerly, "The devil will attack here tomorrow night? How do you know?"

"It's not here, it's the portal in the corpse pit." The abyss scholar shook his wine glass and explained to the dwarf with a smile, "I was still at a loss when I found the erinyr locked in the cocoon, but seeing Once we got to that portal, it became obvious."

"why?"

"According to what that Erinite said, Zariel has already arrived at Volcano Fortress, and that Volcano Fortress is probably surrounded by demons at this moment." Karalin dipped his fingers in some wine and drew a map on the table, "You know, When these fortresses are besieged, they will turn on the anti-teleportation magic circle, so that although the defenders can only count on external rescue, it is better than the enemy directly attacking the interior through teleportation. The last time the reinforcements from Shuangqiao Town relieved the volcano The siege of Oasis Castle, but Graz'zt wanted to take Twinbridge Town for itself, and it got only ruins, so this portal of Oasis Castle is especially important. Since we saw Eriny in the underground tunnel before , then there is every reason to believe that the devils already know about the existence of the portal, so, do you think they will just ignore it?"

"No." Brutal swallowed, "The last time we came to Oasis Castle, the devils tried to attack here..."

"And the time we came back from the Iron Ice Field happened to coincide with the devil's attack on Shuangqiao Town." Aramiel glanced at Lancelot, "That's when the relationship between you and Tijana was officially made public. gone."

"Sweet memories." Lancelot smiled wryly, "Right now, Zariel's subordinates have both the motivation and the ability to attack Oasis Fort, and even the attack route is ready-made, and the only possible obstacle is the big dog. Spiders, we got rid of them too..."

"There must be devil's spies in this city, so tomorrow night's celebration banquet..."

"It's the best opportunity." Lancelow shrugged, "There is no reason for the devils to miss it."

"Well, now I understand that the devils will definitely do something at the banquet tomorrow night." Brutal leaned back again, "You think the devils will definitely succeed? So there is no need to go and help them?"

"Yes." Lancelot nodded, "Although I do hope that the devils can succeed, but at the same time, I also hope that their losses in the process will be as great as possible, preferably just enough to destroy the portal, but unable to completely occupy it." Fort Oasis, let the corpse pit lose its strategic value, so it will be easier for us to start."

"So you plan to help the three female dragons?" Brutal's expression became a little excited, "Hey, Molo's treasure house, this sounds really good, let's go and identify them..."

"You haven't reached that point yet, just sit still." Lancelot pressed Brutal's hand, "I have a revenge plan, but they don't need them to know about this plan."

The relaxed expressions of the partners disappeared, because they all saw the expression on the human knight's face, just like the sky before the storm.

"We all know that Graz'zt is the chief culprit for the destruction of Twinbridge Town, but Molo also played an extremely ugly role in it, and its betrayal is the key factor for Grazt's sneak attack." Lancelow His lips barely moved, but his voice clearly floated to everyone's ears, "Of course, I'm not without self-knowledge, knowing that we are still no match for Graz'zt, but Molo is different. Looting its treasury ? For the evil deeds committed by the male succubus, that is not even considered revenge, it is far from enough..."

"You want to kill it." Sune's priest looked directly at the human knight, "Avenge Tijana."

"Yes." Lancelot nodded straightforwardly, "Perhaps killing once is not enough."

"Can you beat it?"

"Unless its strength has greatly improved from the last time we met, I have a good chance of defeating...killing it in a one-on-one battle."

"One-on-one... For a demon lord, that kind of opportunity is rare."

"That's right. Kara Lin, I want to hear your opinion. If your private treasure house and the portal are attacked at the same time, what will Molo do?"

"Let a demon lord choose between his allies and his own interests? This is the most difficult question I have ever heard...I guess, maybe it will care more about its own treasure house?" The scholar put his hands on his chest, trying to pretend to be thinking attitude, "Molo may order his soldiers to support the battle at the portal, but he will definitely rush to the treasure house. For demons, selfishness is an instinct, just like when we touch hot things, we will subconsciously It's like taking back your hand."

"So your real plan is to use the treasury as a cover to find an opportunity to kill Molo?" Brutal sat up straight again, "But those dragons just mentioned a wolf snake demon, and they followed him every step of the way. That male succubus..."

"I know." Lancelot looked at Karalin again, "Tell us about creatures like the wolf snake demon."

"Words, between ten and fourteen feet tall, have a humanoid body and two heads—a wolf's head and a snake's head protruding from the nape of their necks, which is where their name comes from." Scholar Said in a whisper-like voice, "Their snake heads have a special venom that can turn any creature, including demons, into a primordial demon; and its other ability is to transform a primordial demon into a A cold iron weapon (usually a battle axe), and cold iron weapons are known to be particularly effective against demons. Wolf snakes have a very special role among demons. They are recruiters, warlords and executioners, theoretically It is said that the strength of the wolf snake demon is slightly lower than that of the Barlow demon, but in many cases their status is even higher than that of Barlow, because they are often more trusted by the abyss lord. There have always been rumors that the snake head of the wolf snake demon In fact, it is part of the abyss lord it is loyal to, but this kind of rumor has never been confirmed, but no matter what the truth of the rumor is, the wolf snake demon is indeed the right-hand man of those abyss giants."

"Thanks, we've actually heard most of it before, and now I want to know more about combat. Do you have anything you can tell us about that?"

"The information about the wolf snake demon is far less than that of the Ballow demon. After all, the latter frequently appears in the invasion of the main material plane, while the wolf snake demon is more active in bloody battles. However, according to some bloody war servants According to the report of the soldiers, we can still roughly grasp the fighting style of this demon..." Kara Lin took out a roll of parchment from his backpack and drew directly on the table, "First of all, the battle ax of the wolf snake demon seems to be able to wear Through most of the damage reduction effect, this makes their weapon strikes extremely deadly..."

"In other words, as long as you don't get hit." Lancelot nodded, "Continue."

"Secondly, the wolf snake demon has a strong self-healing ability. Although it is not as good as a troll, it only takes one minute at most for a dying wolf snake demon to fully recover."

"So don't give them time to recover... remember."

"Thirdly, wolf snake demons can cast spells in battle like warlocks, and this is their most terrifying aspect." Kara Lin raised his head, "Generally speaking, they will first use invisibility and flying to approach the enemy , and then use the space anchor to prevent the enemy from escaping, and release various offensive spells between swinging the battle ax. There are small tricks such as fear, charm people, and instant telekinesis, as well as blasphemy, A big killer like Malicious Transformation..."

"It's great to have you here, please explain these spells in detail."

"I won't talk about fear and charm humans. I know you won't be affected by such little tricks, but the instant telekinesis is a bit special. It remotely controls inanimate objects, and the effect is like fetching objects from a distance. .The wolfsnake likes to use this trick to make the opponent's weapon drop, so you may consider strapping the weapon to your wrist. As for the blasphemy... this spell is more tricky, it can trap enemies within forty feet The states of dizziness, weakness, and paralysis depend on the strength and will of the opponent, and in extreme cases it can even cause death directly. The malicious transformation technique is even more exaggerated, it can turn the subject into a frog, a rabbit, a cat, etc. Harmless small animals completely lose their combat effectiveness. What's more frightening is that the effect of this transformation is permanent. If it cannot be removed in time, the subject will gradually lose their original memory and personality, and completely become a harmless animal. Small animals……"
