Catching up with the shrunken group, Locke appeared in the crowd. Old Tawad looked at Locke guiltily, "My lord, I can't put into words how ashamed I feel for you. I didn't expect things to come to this point where you put yourself at risk."

Yes, I didn't expect Locke to sigh in his heart but still smile and say to Tawad, "This land is under my control, and everything that happens in this land is my responsibility."

alas

"We are also warriors of the Light! The Tyr Guards will do everything in their power to keep you safe! Evelyna righteously assured Locke, "You are a noble king, and you have much to do. I swear you won't fall here."

Locke smiled and didn't say anything, but the female guard was really upright and couldn't speak.

There was the sound of footsteps in the passage behind them, and they stopped to look back, and Ral, the captain of Locke's guard, followed with a torch.

"Ral! Didn't you keep watch on it? How did you get down?! Locke asked, a little annoyed.

"I am the captain of the Iron Guard, and our duty is to protect your safety," Ral was not convinced, he looked at Locke with a straight face, "When the Iron Guard was founded, it was his lifelong goal to protect your Lord and your children. ”

"Think about it, my lord. From ancient times to the present day, how can there be a guard who abandons his allegiance to his master? Lal's words left Locke speechless, and he continued, "Maybe I'm here to get you out of this mausoleum, my lord?" ”

"You can't say that!" Locke hurriedly stopped him, and he looked back at the people around him, "We're all going out!" Definitely! ”

Suppressing the illusion of uneasiness in his heart, Locke beckoned everyone to follow behind the ghost of Soradin, and walked step by step towards the depths of the cavern.

On the road that followed, no one spoke, the atmosphere was a little depressing, the air was dull, and everyone's hearts were pounding as if they were being weighed down by a boulder. The cavern began to make whirring noises and sharp and eerie, as if something was squealing at a low throat.

Everyone subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, and the previous dwarf mage Black Flame immediately put several protective enchantments on his body

Turning the corner of the cave, everyone suddenly opened up! In front of him was a huge cave space, and Locke looked up and saw that the stone wall from the ground to the top of the cave was about twenty meters high. A soft golden glow illuminated every corner of the cave, and in the distance, Locke saw a figure standing in the middle of the cave facing the middle, what looked like a boulder mound, performing witchcraft.

Soradin was standing at the mouth of the cave, waiting for them to arrive.

"Watch out here! You don't want to fall! ”

Arriving at where Soladin stood, the torches were blazing downward, and Locke saw a bottomless dark abyss blocking their way. The sounds around him, like wails and suppressed weeping, came from below.

"There's a stone bridge here," Soladin said unnaturally to Locke and the others, "this is the passage we made that time."

In the hall where the Silver Hand was stored before, the huge load-bearing pillar was placed horizontally on this abyss, which was more than ten meters wide. It forms a narrow single-plank bridge

"Let's go ahead!" Tawad tried to cross the bridge first, but was stopped by Locke, "The people of the past need to be able to control the scene." That guy killed all of his companions, and with this evil sorcery, you may not have been able to deal with that in the past. Let someone who specializes in art pass! ”

"Oh sure!" The dwarf stepped forward very consciously, and he spread his hands and said helplessly, "This person who specializes in art is just me, just a priest, my black flame!" The Greatest Master of Engineering! The most skilled fire wizard of all time with the five fireballs, he can easily dispose of him! ”

Boasting about himself, the dwarf prepared to step onto the stone bridge. The calf was raised, but before it could be put down, the dwarf turned to Locke and Demithia with a smile and said, "No matter how great a wizard and master engineer is, he needs some help, and you must come here after I pass!" ”

The gnome's action caused Evelena, the only woman in the Tyr Guard, to burst out laughing, "The greatest master engineer and the most skilled fire wizard of the Five Fireballs? Are you scared? Why don't you let me go first? ”

"How could it be! Little girl! I'm cautious! Caution knows? The dwarf snorted, turned to clench his staff, and glanced at the pitch-black abyss below

Then, before everyone could react, the dwarf swooped onto the load-bearing pillar, and then a quick flash reached the opposite side!

Burst!

Because the dwarf rushed too fast, he fell to the ground and didn't get up for half a day!

"Oh! Damn it! In the future, I will say that I will not go down such a path! I swear! I swear in the name of the God of Contracts! Rising from the ground over there, the dwarf kept muttering. Obviously, he has the same fear of heights as Locke

What had worried Locke didn't happen, and the dwarf just cursed a few words and didn't look for the man in the middle. He waited at the bridge over there for the crowd to pass.

Gaffold and Evelyna are gone, and so is Ral. Demytia wanted to go over, but was stopped by Locke, and he decided to go first.

"Wait a minute, Locke," but before Locke could step on the pillar, Soladin suddenly spoke, "You are different from them, and what I want to tell you is that after passing through this bridge, you have completely entered the magical barrier set up by the Tyr guards. It is full of the whispers of evil gods that make people fall, and if you find anyone behaving wrong, don't be merciful."

Before Locke could speak, the man on the other side proved the truth of what Soladin had said.

"Hey, be careful yourselves. Something keeps saying gibberish things to your ears, right? Needless to say, those who believe in him are fools! The dwarf nervously said to the others, "I've heard that cultists can hear this kind of thing."

"I don't believe in any gods! But how can this thing be prevented from the outside of the ear? Gaffold asked the gnome.

"From my experience, you need my mechanical products! Sound-isolating earbuds! Only ten silver coins are required! It will make you want to isolate the sound that makes people tear his mouth apart! ”

"Little man! Does this cost money? I thought we were comrades-in-arms! The tall Vika Dragonsnatcher said dissatisfied.

"Hey, hey, what's the robbery! It's mine! You barbarians! Locke turned his head to see that the gnome had pulled out a handful of what looked like a plug had been looted by the Tyr guards.

"If you don't have money, where is the motivation to develop new products? Really, barbarians who don't know how to protect intellectual property! The dwarf said indignantly.

"Ral, give him a gold coin!" Locke, who couldn't stand it, said here, not paying attention to the situation over there, Locke turned to Soladin and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that's the evil god in the middle, right?" You defeated it in the first place, can you tell us about its weaknesses? ”

"Weakness?" Soladin shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't know about its weakness, Locke. What I do know is that it's powerful enough to manipulate the shadows that are everywhere here. With my help and Scamdo's help, I was just able to make a tie with it, and eventually die with it."

Placing his empty hand on Locke, Soladin looked at him apologetically, "I'm sorry that my selfishness left you to face all this. If I were you, I would be unhappy with what happened here. I can't help you with anything but one piece of advice! ”

Locke's teammates all walked over, leaving Locke alone to stay here and face to face with the Emperor.

"Be careful of your comrades-in-arms who are fighting alongside you," Soladin sternly patted Locke's shoulder, "because you don't know when they may already be controlled by the evil gods." It will hide in the shadows and give you a fatal blow at the most critical moment"

Locke subconsciously turned his head to look at the people on the other side of the abyss, and when he turned his head, the cold Soradin in front of him had lost his trace. Stunned for a moment, Locke sighed and stepped onto the bridge.

The single-plank bridge is not very stable, and there are dark shadows on both sides, which is still a bit stressful for Locke, who used to have a fear of heights. But fortunately, the stone pillar was stable enough, and there was no danger coming.

The murmur of chaos, chaos, nothingness, and noise penetrated Locke's ears as soon as he stepped into this land. But to Locke's surprise, through his observations, it seemed that the Tyr guards did not react as deeply as they did to Demithia and the dwarf.

Could it be that a powerful person is more sensitive to this kind of whispering?

Locke stuffed the earbuds handed over by the dwarf into his ears, although the earbuds made of iron bumps were a little heavy, but strangely the whispering in the air was much smaller after putting them on.

"This is a great creation of a collection of technology and magic, and of course, the craft is kept secret!" This is what the dwarf said in a smug tone and Locke.

Locke undoubtedly studied how this thing was made, but this kind of thing was a good note against the Old Gods. In the future, this kind of thing can be produced in Iva and sold to the Alliance?

Everyone was silent, and walked all the way towards the figure in the middle.

The surroundings were empty, without any cover, but the man just didn't turn around, and just let Locke and the others get closer and closer. As he got closer, Locke could still see the white bishop's priest's robe he was wearing, bearing the Mark of Stormwind.

He stood there, casting his spell on the stone-covered pile of debris in the middle.

"Fatheon! What are you doing?! ”

Demetia stepped forward and shouted behind Fatheon.
