Chapter 287: The Temple of Ashalond

"This taste ......"

Charles couldn't remember for a moment what kind of animal it smelled like, so to speak, an experienced hunter in the wild can track any creature with feces alone, and he naturally didn't get to that realm.

"Dragons."

"This is the dragon's dung, and because it is a young dragon, the dragon's breath is very light...... Over the years, after the washing of time, the breath has become lighter, and I am afraid that only professionals with keen perception can detect it. ”

Words came from behind him as footsteps approached, and Charles remained with his back to the cage door, seemingly completely defenseless against the man behind him.

The withered man paused outside the iron gate, looking at the black-robed priest, his eyes were complicated, sometimes revealing a fierce light, sometimes revealing struggle and unwillingness.

"Alyssa, I think you've made your decision." Charr turned his back to the fallen druid, and while observing the glowing green iron rod with amusement, he said leisurely, "Now please tell me about the origin of this underground ruin, I think you must be completely sure that you venture into this place." ”

"Whew."

Alyssa let out a long breath and said slowly, "It's true that this is not the first time I've visited this ruin. ”

"In fact, more than ten years ago, when I was out on a mission to the temple, I discovered the existence of the ruins, and I have already penetrated into the ruins and learned the secrets of the ruins."

"Oh?" Charles raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at the Blighter in surprise, "So did you leave behind the goblin tribe and other monsters in the ruins to hide people's eyes?" ”

"Not bad. I've been preparing for more than a decade, and Isaac's plot seems to be about to come to fruition, but I don't know that my plan also encompasses his plot. Alyssa suddenly let out a series of sneers, "The war between the Dark Temple and Cormier broke out, and the half-plane was in chaos, so I can take advantage of this to sneak back." Take back the relics of our people. ”

"I have a rough idea of your plans." Charles groaned and laughed, "This ruin once raised baby dragons...... Could it be related to the 'Demon Dragon Rebellion'? ”

"A group of dragon worship mages who have surrendered to the evil red dragons of the ancients, who used to live here, raise young dragons, and worship them day and night, but with the war situation changing. The group of mages evacuated and abandoned this underground castle, and as a result of their hasty departure, they naturally left behind a lot of treasures. Alyssa said lightly.

"I guess there were terrible monsters left." Charles chuckled.

"Terrible? The evil ghost dragon that sleeps in the depths of the ruins is terrifying to the Holy Presence and ordinary professionals, but it is not a threat to you and me. The corners of Alyssa's lips curled slightly, outlining the arc of ridicule, "It's the dragon lich that is really terrifying, but fortunately those mages are from the Dragon Cult, not the Dragon Witch Cult. ”

"Take me to the depths of the ruins. You know. Pressed for time. Charles's fingers twitched in his robes, and to be honest, he was lucky to hear the information about the ghost dragon. If he hadn't followed Alyssa, he wouldn't have been qualified to set foot in the depths of the ruins.

In this underground ruin, ghost dragons are more terrifying than real dragons, and they can hunt their targets without hesitating terrain obstacles. There are also only high-level professionals. Only then can you break through the space and kill the virtual creatures.

"Follow me."

Alyssa glanced at him, and her whole body was like an agile cheetah. Draw an afterimage with your feet and scurry through the garden promenade.

Charles grabbed his black robes with both hands, pulled his hood, and followed closely behind the Blighter, not falling behind.

……

At this point, in another hidden room of the ruins. Demon cultists, the Pale Lord, Druux, propped his forehand against the wall and gasped violently, his chest heaving and heaving.

His hood had fallen off during the escape. A fair, bloodless middle-aged face was revealed.

Hair is neatly combed.

The beard also has traces of careful grooming.

At first glance, Duru doesn't look like an evil mage who lives with corpses for many years, but rather like a nobleman who lives a peaceful life in the upper echelons of the city.

"Finally got rid of that druid......" Duru was still breathing chaotic as he spoke, and with a "bang", he slammed his fist against the stone wall of the room, and his white face suddenly became hideous and distorted, "Cult of the Gods!!" ”

"You can't stop me from getting my stuff back!"

Durrous hated the druid and the Church of Nature behind her.

He was not afraid of the druids, but he was worried that after a battle with the other party, the Church of Nature would most likely send other druids and rangers to hunt him down.

Of course, Durrous knew what would happen to the huge church organization. He was a follower of the demon prince Orcas, and Susal did not have the power of this demon prince, and Duru knew that after the battle, he would not be helped by anyone, but would be surrounded by Susar.

But even so, Duru still won't give up the 'Stone of Ion'.

This is the secret room in the ruins, and Duru used the 'Detect Secret Door' magic to discover and enter the room, temporarily avoiding the pursuit of the druids of the Church of Nature.

And now, knowing that he had to pay the price, he held a ritual in the room to activate the power of the 'Stone of Ion' in his hand to sense the exact location of the thief.

Next, a [Advanced Teleportation Technique] can make him instantly descend to the thief's side...... Thinking of this, Duru couldn't help but smile with a sad smile.

"Damn thief, meet the judgment of the demon believers!" Duru almost shouted.

……

Half an hour later.

"You discovered the 'Temple of Ashalond'."

Charles follows Alyssa into a dilapidated stone building, and a system prompt pops up.

The temple of Asha Lund?

Tilting his head, Charles wondered to himself, is there a god with the name 'Ashalond'? If it exists, he can't possibly not know it.

"Asharond is the ancient red dragon in the 'Dragon Rebellion...... The monks of the Dragon Worship sect worship him as a god and hold prayer meetings and festivals here. Alyssa said.

The granite walls of the stone shrine were originally carved with ornate reliefs, but now they are broken to a pulp, with large and small stones scattered on the ground.

A massive statue of a dragon stood on the west side of the temple, its deep-set eye sockets shimmering with a disjointed red light, its outstretched wings casting a dark shadow on the ground, and the entire temple was filled with a blood-like red glow.

After entering the temple, in front of the dragon statue. 5 feet in diameter, with dark red tiles and circles carved with mysterious runes, immediately caught Charles's attention.

"What is this?"

As soon as Charles asked, the withered one raised his hand to signal him to stop, and said in an indifferent voice, "Don't speak yet." ”

"Click"

The druid's voice just fell. The statues of knights standing in the four corners of the temple actually clicked and twisted their arms and thighs, and their movements quickly became smooth from clumsy and sluggish at the beginning.

Each knight statue was at least three meters tall, and each was covered in gray-brown hard armor, and red lines flickered in the cracks of the armor, like blood energy.

"It's these constructed beings again, and every time I come here, I always kill them...... It's so annoying. ”

Alyssa muttered to herself. The action was not delayed.

"Roarβ€”"

The delicate body that she flew out suddenly transformed, and a fierce silver ferocious lion pounced out of the darkness, throwing the newly awakened statue in the south to the ground, opening its mouth and biting wildly.

Stone chips, large and small, were spat out by the silver ferocious lion's head, and in the blink of an eye, the ferocious lion didn't know how many times it attacked, in short, within ten seconds, the statue was a cloud of rubble.

Charles had a toothache to see. I couldn't help touching my cheeks and smiling bitterly.

I'm afraid it's only the transformed druid. I dare to use such a primitive but overbearing attack method.

Oh.

Bite down on one of the statues, and the silver lion pounces on the next.

In terms of body type, the ferocious lion can completely suppress the statue of construction, and the power suppression effect produced by the suppression of body type is combined with the terrifying power attribute of the statue of the fierce lion template, no wonder the statue has no room for resistance.

"Buzz"

Of the three surviving statues. Two of them were wrestling with the silver ferocious lion, and the other statue walked straight up to the black-robed priest, picked up a metal spear about three meters long, and swept it over!

The charr was interested in testing the strength of the statues, so he didn't dodge. Instead, he immediately summoned a light steel shield and raised his shield to intercept the spear!

The loud bang of the bell.

The light steel shield vibrated violently, and large depressions appeared on the surface of the shield, and even cracks were visible to the naked eye, spreading from the depressions to the entire shield.

"At least 30 points of strength."

"And the attack comes with great destructive power...... This blue light steel shield actually exploded in an instant......"

The shield that collided with the metal spear was held up by two arms. Charles took a sharp breath and drained the power from his arm, channeling the shock force that poured through his body to his feet, all of which were unloaded as he walked backwards.

But the pain of the tear in his arm was telling Charles that it was such a contact defense that he was injured, and his muscles and bones were broken.

Roar.

The statue drew its spear and wanted to shoot again, but it easily killed the other two silver fierce lions, and swooped down, its body lying in the air, and its huge body cast a large shadow on the ground, enveloping the structure and the Charr.

Soon, the statue turned into stone chips and scattered in front of the Charles.

The Silver Ferocious Lion glared at Charles with cold eyes, then lifted its transformation. The depraved druid, who had regained his human form, said indifferently: "Don't try to fight these stones hand-to-hand! ”

After a pause, Alyssa pursed her lips and explained, as if she was afraid that Charles would not understand, "If you just talk about hand-to-hand combat ability, any of them can compete with those above the exemplary realm. ”

In fact, there is no need for Alyssa to explain, Charles also knows the level of these statues from the system prompt for killing and constructing life.

"Killed [Asharond's Constructed Guard] (Lord)."

"Gain 10,000 universal XP."

"Gain 100 XP."

"+50 reputation for all of Cormyr." (To be continued......)
