Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

"Be careful!" Quest's figure suddenly escaped into the shadows, and his speed was even faster than the bronze egret statue that exerted force at close range. Ron's hand was pulled by the spy at the moment of pain. That was why the statue was not allowed to launch further attacks.

The statue let out a sharp chirp. The fingertip that had just been pierced by Ron seemed to have absorbed enough plasma. The areas that were previously considered worn were quickly filled with blood-colored lines. The originally dull eyes, It was also dyed a violent scarlet color.

The bronze base is integrated into the egret's body, and the ominous-looking statue seems to have come to life. Its wings are spread out, and it is chirping while dodging the wooden sticks swept by Quest, as if to challenge everyone.

"An animated gargoyle?" Gilenis's eyes widened and she looked at the bronze heron jumping up and down. She was full of curiosity about this statue that was much smaller than the ordinary gargoyle and had a completely different texture. The next moment, The blue eyes of Elf Lake turned into a dark void full of terrifying power, and her voice sounded like an irresistible will, "Statue, watch me!"

The sound of metal friction was so intense that under Gilannis's attentive gaze, even though the statue struggled desperately, it could not escape the control of the Archmage. Its long neck rotated 180 degrees, its blood-red eyes He looked straight at the mage, unable to make any movement.

"Sleep-ugh!"

Gilenis tried to issue a command to make this strange gargoyle (bronze gargoyle) fall into silence again, but before she finished chanting the spell, the stinging pain that hit Ron's soul just now also acted on it. On the elf.

"Ms. Gilennis!" Sylvia immediately realized something was wrong. Black mist spurted out from the top of the cane. The hidden arcane magic contained in it tried to control this statue that could even hurt the Archmage. However, this was nothing. It's all in vain.

Accompanied by a strange laughter like an owl, the bronze egret broke away from the shackles of Gilenis and Sylvia. The heavy bronze wings of the statue lifted its equally heavy body with incredible flapping gestures, and with the surrounding dark fog, A hole was torn open, and the egret's beak penetrated You in the spirit state, and flew straight out!

"Exuri!" Ron shouted, summoning the young dragons outside to come for support. His fingertips seemed to be paralyzed by poison. It was difficult to even bend and extend. Even the entire palm and forearm became a little numb, making it difficult to cast spells, draw a bow or raise a crossbow.

"Hold that statue, don't let it go!"

A low dragon roar came from the entrance of the cave, followed by the sizzling sound of strong acid corroding hard objects and the scream of the statue. However, in less than ten seconds, Iksuri's cry of pain came from outside. Passed in - it seemed that the young dragon who hurriedly responded to the challenge also followed Ron's footsteps and was pecked by the bronze statue.

"Do you want me to stop time?" Gilenis shook her head, her pointed ears turning red from being teased. "I need to remind you: this spell will stop the time of all living creatures around you, including you."

"If that statue is not affected, it probably will be"

"It's too late!" Ron took out a bottle of antidote and tried to restore his fighting ability. "Just use it if you can, and it will really run away!"

There must be something seriously wrong with that bronze statue! If you just let it go, God knows what trouble will happen!

But just as Gilennis was about to cast the spell, a silvery radiance suddenly burst out from the underground of the dragon's nest, passed in front of everyone, and then plunged towards the entrance of the cave. In just a few seconds, the unique and evil look of the bronze statue was revealed. The screams echoed in the cave.

"What is that?!"

This sudden silver light made both Sylvia and Quest startled. Although its target was not the two of them, the fleeting heart palpitations always lingered in them like a lingering nightmare. heart.

It felt like... some kind of natural enemy!

Natural enemy?

"Dispel the foreign land! Is it possible that you still have a paladin here?" Gilenis revealed the true identity of the silver light in one sentence. Ron was one step ahead of her, dragging his paralyzed arm to snatch out the treasure house, and walked straight Rush towards the cave entrance.

"Paladin?" Quest and Sylvia looked at each other, "Andre is Tyr's... No!"

At this moment, another shadow that was slightly shorter than Andre, but with firmer beliefs broke into their minds. Although the warrior with a fish head and a human body had not interacted with them much, he had served them at critical moments. Buy enough time!

"Devin Booker!"

When a few people rushed outside, the statue that was already very close to escaping was shimmering with silver light. The silver sacred power allowed it to maintain a weird flying posture, but it could not control its wings. He could only fall helplessly into the mud outside the young dragon's lair, like a toy carelessly discarded by a child in the village.

"The blood color on its body is fading!" Sylvia's sharp eyes immediately caught the abnormality of the statue, "Is it the power of the paladin at work? But, but he has obviously..."

"Obviously he left a backup plan," Quest said thoughtfully, "But why? If he had discovered the anomaly of the statue, why didn't he take action to solve it? At least tell Exuri and Golden Dragon... …”

The tiefling looked at the black dragon that was supporting its body on three legs. Exuri obviously had no idea about this.

"It may be another situation: the paladin you mentioned originally left this arrangement to deal with other creatures," Gillianis looked at Ron, "Lord, they just mentioned a paladin named 'Devin Booker', why did he appear here underground? And why did he leave a spell to punish the existence of the alien world?"

"Paladins are not spellcasters like us, and dispelling aliens is closer to guiding divine power. It may not be easy to arrange such a back-up."

"Maybe because..." Ron thought about it, and simply told Gillianis everything he knew about the fishman paladin.

"Freshwater Legion..." The Moon Elf nodded, "Most of the Thoros' legions are used to deal with elemental creatures. I think he wants to extend his guard time as long as possible to prevent elemental creatures from invading from here."

"But he sacrificed himself, and the portal set up by Saran was also closed by you. The arrangement he left behind is no longer needed to deal with those water elements. It's just a coincidence that the gargoyle born from the earth element is also an elemental creature, and his back-up plan suppressed the statue."

"But..." Gillianis picked up the heron statue that had become silent again, and the silver light and blood color on it were almost destroyed together, "It seems that my judgment is still a little wrong. The actual target of dispelling the alien world seems not to be the statue itself, but some existence inside it?"
