The knight in the abyss

Although old Rip didn't seem to be in the tavern, they did, because a secret emblem representing Twinbridge on the gate was still in effect.However, everyone still did not take off their masks, but only showed the rings that symbolize the status of senior mercenaries in Shuangqiao Town. The half-demon female bartender concealed her surprise very well, and still said nothing, but threw a bunch of Keys, signaling everyone to stay in the suite on the third floor.

And at night, the expected visitor did come.

Lancelot opened the door before someone's fingers tapped on the door.A figure in a hood stood at the door, looking at the person who opened the door for him in surprise, and behind him, several people were gathered around the fire and looked over curiously.These people were all wearing masks, but they still made the werewolves feel extremely familiar.

"Come in, old man." Lancelot said, "You know who we are."

Old Rep didn't hesitate anymore, and quickly flashed into the room. After the door closed behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Two humans, one dwarf, one elf, with the golden mercenary emblem of Shuangqiao Town, huh? Little Isa is here too? As soon as I heard Ashaya report to me like this, I wondered if you were here... "

"It seems that Kelemvor's mask is not so easy to use." Lancelow took off the mask with a smile, and at the same time dragged a chair for the other party, "It's great to see you, old man, sit down .”

"It's really you..." Old Leip looked at Lancelot in a trance, "I thought you would never come back."

"How is it possible." Lancelot shook his head, "I still have unfinished work... a lot."

"For Tijana?"

"Yes." Lancelot looked at old Rip calmly, "There is also Shuangqiao Town."

"What are you going to do?"

"Revenge, resurrection, and revival." Seeing that the other party was unwilling to sit down, Lancelow didn't force him, and sat down by the fire first, "Start with the lord of the town we are in."

A complex look appeared on the werewolf's face. Suddenly, he knelt down on one knee in front of Lancelow and said in a suppressed angry voice:

"In the name of the will of the abyss, I, Rip Radner, offer my allegiance to you, Lord Lancelot, Prince of Twinbridge Town! I will be loyal to you and never betray you, or let the abyss take me A sad worm until Tijana, Mistress of Twinbridges, returns from the shadow of death to rule her kingdom once more..."

Lancelot didn't rush to interrupt the other party, but quietly waited for the other party to finish speaking, then he also stood up, and replied in a deep voice:
"And I, Lancelot Durek, Prince of Twobridges, Lord of Blight of Moglondar, Defender of Sworn Demons, Slayer of Dragons and Giants, Pascole, Volcano, and Derek The savior of the kingdom, the knight cultivator in the abyss, I promise you that I will do my best to revive Tijana and make all those who murdered her pay the price..."

Everyone in the room looked stunned, and said in unison:
"What?"

"Obviously he was the first to be so formal... You can get up now, my friend."

"You shouldn't have given Lancelot this chance." Brutal rolled his eyes at Old Rip, "That sounded like he didn't come up with it on the spur of the moment. I bet he's been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."

"You've ruined the atmosphere, and I'm not telling the truth." Lancelot complained dissatisfied, "It's great to see familiar faces...were you also in Shuangqiao Town that day? "

"Yes, Lady Tijana sent us all out in the end." The werewolf nodded, "I heard that most of the dwarves went to their hidden temple, because I am more familiar with the situation in Oasis Castle. , so I sneaked here... Did you also come in through the underground tunnels? You should have seen the portal, right?"

"Yes." Lancelot nodded, "We already know what Molo has done."

"Do you have any plans?" Old Leip became excited, "After I arrived in Oasis Fort, I also took care of many residents of Shuangqiao Town who have wandered here. They are all good hands. The male succubus does the math..."

"The people you mentioned..." Lancelow rubbed his chin, "Are they reliable?"

"Yes, but not many." Old Rip shrugged, "Most of them are mercenaries, you know, the loyalty of mercenaries is a commodity for sale... Please don't get me wrong, you and ordinary mercenaries Of course it's different... However, although the mercenaries are mainly for money, since they will beg for life in this plane, it means that they don't only care about money. These people also have tempers, and many of them put Shuangqiao As their own homeland, at least it is a favorite foothold, so they are very, very angry with Molo and even Grazte. If there is a suitable opportunity, they will be happy to participate in any action against Oasis Castle, and only Ask for less than what is justified."

"I understand." Lancelow nodded, "I do have a plan, but I shouldn't need them. In fact, this is a very secret plan. The fewer people who know about it, the better. I don't want to cause trouble. Unnecessary alertness..."

"You probably didn't take me into consideration when you were making the plan. If that's the case, then don't even mention me." The werewolf replied very decisively, "However, without telling me the specific details, what can I say?" Can I help?"

"Yes." Lancelow nodded, "However, I still want to hear your thoughts on some other things. I am organizing a rescue operation to send away those dwarf artisans who are hiding. Do you want Shall we go together?"

"Go? Where to go?"

"Leaving this plane, the final destination is Sigil City. There will be many job opportunities there, and it should be no problem to support yourself. Everyone can also slowly find the portal to return to their respective home worlds."

"But my home is here, even though it has been destroyed." A bitter smile appeared on the werewolf's face.

"At least it'll be safe there."

"How many guys here can threaten me." Old Leip raised his pitcher a little proudly, then remembered something, and became a little embarrassed, "Of course, I also want to thank you for doing it for me on the Iron Ice Field." Washed with the blood of the Titans..."

"You earned it yourself, I just helped a little." Lancelow waved his hand, "So, how about Moglondal in the Great Abyss? It's a real neutral town, and it's not too big It could become a battlefield for a bloody battle."

"It's a good proposal, but I want to stay here and do something for the revival of Shuangqiao Town... You will definitely be able to revive Lord Tijana, right?"

"As I promised just now, I will do my best." Lancelot pondered for a while, "I heard from Phil before that you used to work in the intelligence department of Shuangqiao Town?"

"I hope that guy is all right, but what he said is not accurate, not having worked, but one of the best agents in Shuangqiao Town, until I met a cute girl." The werewolf glanced at little Isa At a glance, "Because of some force majeure, this relationship ended without a problem, but I still had some savings at that time. You know, Lady Tijana has never been stingy with her employees, so she lived a relatively indulgent life...until I met you. "

"I see." Lancelow nodded, "Then, are you interested in returning to the old business? Even if Tijana is really resurrected, it will not be easy to regain Shuangqiao Town. We need information, manpower, It would be nice to have a command structure in place. Then, when I go off to find a way to revive Tijana, someone has to do it. I need a professional, and he has to be strong enough to be there somewhere. out of danger when something unexpected happens..."

"Enough." Old Rip raised his callused palm, "You've found this man."

"You are indeed the perfect candidate." Lancelot smiled. "So, maybe we can start working now. First, I want to talk about three special guests in your tavern. Some interesting ideas, and the timing of the choice is also very special. You see, on the way we came, we encountered a little accident..."

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

Due to some unavoidable reasons, I had to change my vest and continue writing this book. The name of the new book is also very simple and rude, it is called "The Knight of the Abyss 2" (the name may be changed, but I haven't decided yet), the author Chirp, the new book doesn't have any chapters yet, the plan is to cut to this part of the story of Oasis Castle after it's over.In the future, such an explanation will be added at the end of each chapter, in case new and old book friends get separated, thank you!

I worked overtime from morning to night for two days on weekends. The long chapter with a word count of 4000+ in the original plan failed to be realized. I will strive for more code points next week...
