Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 485: Demon-proof Fortress
Inside the Church of Our Lady of the City of Return.

As the believers in the prayer hall left their seats one by one, Brev at the top closed the holy book in front of him, and then hung it on his waist through the chain above.

Although he was previously a Knight of the Wheatsheaf, he now serves as the church's temporary pastor.

For believers like them, the change of identity is so easy.

After all, they are priests and believers first, and knights second.

After the believers had finished leaving, Brev walked down and sat down at the seat at the end of the prayer hall, where Alka was sitting and waiting.

"sorry to keep you waiting."

Hearing this, Alka just smiled, and he also prayed to the Holy Mother.

After a few words of greeting, Brev's expression turned serious and he began to say: "After these two months of low-frequency attacks, the devil's offensive has gradually picked up, although it is still at a lower frequency.

The target you brought to our attention has frequently appeared in the anti-magic fortress recently. "

Hearing this, Alka couldn't help but turn to look at him: "Kalander the Slayer?"

This was exactly what he wanted Brave and the others to pay attention to in the anti-demon fortress.

You must know that during the months when the demon offensive broke out two years ago, this demon was seriously injured by Grevel.

This resulted in Alka having heard almost no news about him in the past two years, and was only aware of sporadic information that he sometimes appeared at some edge city walls.

Mainly just for harassment, he rarely appears in a certain place where the battle is intense, so he is obviously hiding.

And witnesses said he was not in good condition.

At that time, Alka just asked Brev and the others to help pay attention. After all, his strength had not yet reached the sixth stage.

Based on the strength standards at that time, if you were in a magic-proof fortress, it would easily be too dangerous.

After all, it is the place closest to the crack, and there are almost no restrictions in terms of space or other restrictions.That was also the place where the battle was the fiercest. No one could pay attention to Alka under the powerful offensive.

Add to that the Devouring Maw, and how much the demon now wants to kill Alka.

If he went to that place without the sixth stage, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

So Alka has never been there once. During the two years, most of the places they will defend are concentrated in the surrounding fortresses, such as the Demon Hunting Fortress.

Unexpectedly, he had just reached the sixth stage of strength, at least after the anti-demon fortress had the ability to protect itself, when he heard the news about this demon.

It was hard not to think that Alka was setting a trap or something.

At this time Brave also said this: "There is some coincidence. According to the damage caused to him by Greyfal, it is impossible for him to recover so quickly.

And based on his recent active performances, it can be seen that his strength has obviously declined to a certain extent, and he still has very obvious scars on his body.

His condition is not good, and it is obvious that his current activeness is not his intention.After all, demons are reckless, but no demon at this stage would be a fool.The best they can describe is crazy. "

To put it simply, he is seducing Alka, which is a bit like seducing Alka's past targets.

Alka leaned back on the wooden chair and couldn't help but think.

Do you want to go there?

The main problem must be overcome.

After he learned about the process of repairing the world, he was already thinking about some things he needed to do.

And this anti-demon fortress must be visited.

There is no escape from that place.

Seeing Alka thinking, Brev waited quietly beside him without disturbing her.

After a while, Alka seemed to have figured it out and said: "Go, but the goal is not Callander, but to take a look at the place where the battle is most intense.

Let's take a look at what they want to do. "

Hearing this, Brave nodded without any exhortation or other words.

Because Alka is different from them.

And Alka himself knew that he had a trump card that could ensure that it would not put him in fatal danger.

That is, he can accept the strength of the dream, and his current strength of the dream has climbed to about the middle of the seventh stage.

Still running towards the eighth stage.

Once he received it, he really couldn't imagine that with his strength and the treasure, he would be killed in an instant.

And he is only on the city wall. As long as his target is not on Callander for the time being, he is unlikely to be tempted to go to an extremely dangerous area.

And above the fortress, there are too many strong men around.

If Alka accepts that the dream's strength has reached the seventh stage and will be fatally threatened in this situation, then it will be meaningless whether he hides or not.

That's right, the devil never really dies.

The worst outcome is that Alka's body dies and his soul returns to the dreamland.

"I'll go alone." Upon hearing this, Brev looked at Alka with surprise.

Then I thought about it and understood.

After all, Xia Daiti and the others have not yet reached the sixth stage of strength, and that place is indeed too dangerous for them.

Because once you can't target Alka, targeting Alka's teammates is also a very good choice.

Don't think those demons won't do this, after all, they will even use force to attack the City of Return.

This kind of behavior, which costs almost nothing in exchange for anything, shows that they can do anything.

After saying goodbye to Brave, Alka returned to the building.

He told everyone about some of his chats with Brave.

"You want to go to the Demon-proof Fortress alone?"

Alka nodded, and then promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely only be on the city wall. I mainly want to take a look and experience the intensity of the battle in that area."

I won’t take a dangerous step targeting Karander, don’t worry, the people around me will also remind me. "

Hear this.

Everyone who originally wanted to dissuade them couldn't help but nodded.

It's already the sixth stage, and it's a bit too timid to be timid when the treasures are basically collected except for the crown.

After all, you have to face the devouring mouth.

There is no point in escaping.

no matter where.

Seeing that no one had many opinions, Alka chatted with everyone for a while and started to pack up.

Early the next morning, I casually followed a convoy to the front line.

A quiet walk.

There is no ambush from demons or attacks from wild monsters.

Alka, who was rarely quiet, came to the gate of the anti-demon fortress.

Look at the exaggerated building in front of you.

In other words, this can no longer be called a building, this is a mountain.

It was a man-made mountain that lined up in front of him.

It can be seen from the surrounding environment that these three peaks are obviously not natural growth, but artificial structures.Then a magnificent fortress was built on top of this mountain peak, relying on the part of the mountain peak.

The gate at the rear alone is more than ten meters high, and there are small doors of various sizes beside it for everyone to pass through.

The door was wide open, because this was the road leading to the rear, and various goods and wounded people were being transported constantly.Behind them, both sides of the German gate were covered with various supplies and tents.

These things are obviously not enough to be transported into the fortress, indicating that the space in the fortress is somewhat tight.

Alka passed through the middle road and looked at the supplies and tents on both sides.

Inside were some resting soldiers and mercenaries, most of whom were bound with bandages.

Obviously, the people living here are all wounded soldiers, and they are all out of danger and in the recovery period. They are actually recovering directly behind here.

Alka looked at the injuries of these soldiers, which should not affect the battle, but just needed rest.

One cargo vehicle after another kept moving automatically on the road. The road leading to the interior of the fortress was enough for three transport vehicles to drive side by side.

There are still goods piled up around that have not been delivered.

There were many members of the Holy Mother Church and the Seed of Life standing at the gate and around it, and they seemed to be conducting tests.The protection here is extremely tight. Before Alka even got close to the gate, which was at least a few hundred meters away, soldiers and various personnel had already noticed him.

The eyes cast on him were more or less scrutinizing and sizing up.

"Lord Alka?"

A guard next to him suddenly shouted.

Hearing this, Alka turned around and looked over.

Looking at the guard, he suddenly remembered that this should be a soldier who had stayed in the Demon Hunting Fortress, and might have come here for rotation.

"Lord Alka, you are actually here."

Although he said hello, he did not come over hastily because he still had his own tasks.

On the contrary, the captain next to him exchanged a few words with him and came over with a weapon.

Looking at Alka, he said: "You are Master Alka."

"I can't call you an adult, but I am indeed Alka."

He looked at Alka and nodded respectfully, and then said: "This must be your first time here. Do you need me to take you to the place where the Holy Mother Church is stationed?"

Hearing this, Alka nodded and said, "Thank you."

"It is my honour, my lord."

As he spoke, he gave some orders to his team members, and then walked towards the gate with Alka.

After arriving at the gate, he stood aside and said to Alka: "Please accept the inspection. This is a necessary procedure."

Alka nodded and walked up directly.

The person who examined him was a guard with pointed ears wearing emerald green robes and dark green vines on his body.

He looked at Alka and nodded politely.

Then he took out an emerald green crystal and gently placed it on Alka's chest.

Alka could clearly feel some fluctuations and was scanning him.

In an instant, you can feel that this is some kind of wave that repels the breath of the abyss, and it is an inner scan.

After scanning it, the soldier looked at the crystal in his hand and gave Alka a strange look.

"Is there any problem?" Alka asked.

The guard shook his head: "No, it would be better to say there is no problem at all. There is no aura of abyss invasion on you."

After all, the world is scarred and fighting demons.Under such circumstances, it is indeed a bit strange that there is no trace of abyssal aura left inside the body.It's so clean that it makes people feel as if they have just arrived in this continent.

But obviously Alka didn't just come here.

But he also learned about the name Alka from the guard next to him, here in this anti-demon fortress, Alka.Except for new recruits and rotating soldiers from other distant forts, more or less everyone has heard of it.

He didn't know how to determine it.

"I'll do it." A voice came from behind the Seed of Life member.

What came over was a figure dressed in the style of the Mother Church.

It was a woman who came.

He has blond hair with long, silky hair, and a very recognizable and conspicuous metal eyepatch on his face.It is covered with strong religious-style patterns.

Dazzling metal ornate armor was worn on her body, and there were long swords of different styles on the left and right sides.

There is also a metal laurel wreath woven from wheat ears on the top of the head, with a brown-yellow gemstone dotted in the center.

Alka recognized her.

The long golden hair and metal eye mask are so recognizable.

It was probably six or seven years ago, when Alka sought help from the archbishop on the Twin Islands and wanted to borrow a treasure related to autumn.

Aka remembered that when he left the church, he saw the Holy Blade Saint leading several wheat knights to pray in the church.

At that time, he remembered that he saw two gold and one orange on this girl, a total of three treasures, and her strength had reached the sixth stage.

And now Alka blinked slightly.

This girl's strength has almost reached the perfection of the sixth stage. It seems that she may break through to the seventh stage at any time, and the treasures on her body have also become three gold and one orange.

With Alkabi, there is only one orange treasure missing.

"Holy Blade Saint." The member of the Seed of Life said respectfully, and then gave way to his position.

The Holy Blade Saint looked at Alka and smiled: "We met many years ago, right, I still remember you."

Alka nodded: "When we were on Twin Islands."

The saint's smile did not diminish when she heard this, and she raised her right hand, which was covered with a thin metal soft armor.

There was even some blood and scratches on it. Judging from the freshness of the blood, it seemed that she had just finished fighting for less than half an hour.

"Let me meet you, my name is Anafil."

Alka reached out and shook her lightly and said, "Alka."

Anafil nodded and said: "You have no problem. Are you going to the Holy Mother's residence? Come with me."

Alka nodded when he heard this, then turned to look at the guard next to him and said, "Thank you for your help."

The guard captain nodded quickly and said, "It's okay."

Alka then followed Anafil into the fortress.

Entering inside, the space inside the fortress was much larger than he thought.

You can even see a large training ground around, with soldiers doing warm-up training on it.

There were soldiers coming and going around, talking to each other, and the place was filled with an atmosphere of killing. The thick smell of blood floated from a distance and could not dissipate at all.

And as soon as he entered the fortress, Alka could clearly feel that the space solidification here weakened and almost disappeared in an instant.As if outside the scars of the world, the door to space can be opened at will.

I only heard Annafel in front say: "This is the most chaotic node in the entire world. Because of the scars in the world, this place is extremely chaotic.

The space is extremely weak and everything is chaotic and disorderly.Demons can also display their greatest strength here, and the same treasures can also display better here without too many constraints. "

Alka nodded in agreement with Anafil's words, and he had clearly felt it.

He could already clearly feel that the elements around him were so easily controlled by him.

Although the element is chaotic and active, it also means that it is easier to mobilize, control, and master.

So is space.

Alka even felt that the barrier to the dream world was no longer so thick here.

Although it makes no difference to others.

The devil gets stronger here, but he only gets stronger.

Alka couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

Walking further inside, after passing through the obstruction of some stone buildings, Alka finally saw the towering sentry tower and city wall.

The city wall that should be facing the devil is actually 60 meters high. Can this be considered a city wall?

It's like rows of tall buildings, tightly packed together.

It almost blocked the sunlight to a certain extent, making the fortress look a little dark.

The sentry towers were even higher, and Alka could see an extremely exaggerated gem above his head.

He could even feel the power from the Virgin in the gems, but it was not just the Virgin's power.

From a closer look, it seems that the power of the four gods is gathered here.

By the way, it also slightly stabilized at least the chaos in the fortress, so that the order of natural forces would not be completely lost here.

In other words, the chaos Alka felt just now was only a change in the environment within the fortress, under the intentional control of the four gods' power.

If it were outside the fortress, the level of chaos would be unimaginable.

In that case, the devil's location might be just one step ahead of the Abyss Road.

In contrast, it is unknown whether the use of treasures will still promote higher levels.
