Chapter 515: The Knight of Sorenia
The Sorenian Knights are one of the most important organizations in the world of Klein, adhering to the eight spirits: humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, mercy, spirituality, honesty, and justice. Two of the most famous figures are Shuma and Stone. Breit, Brad. The former succeeded in crushing the conspiracy of Taxis after the darkness of the evil god Di, and died a heroic death. The latter was also heroic against the dragoon Chitila who was killed, but succeeded in restoring the glory of the entire Order.
This information comes mainly from a novel in Henry's mind called the Dragon Lance series. Perhaps, as some people say, the universe is far more complex than human beings think, and a sudden idea or inspiration is influenced by another world. It is said that mysterious parts of the brain can receive these mysterious messages and transform them into something that can be understood.
But none of that matters now, because I'm already in the world of Torrell, and it's impossible to go back to Earth to prove it to the creators of the novels and games.
Thinking of this, he smiled helplessly and continued to ask: "Then can you tell us about what we need to pay attention to around here?" For example, monsters, traps, etc. ”
"I didn't see the traps, but I had seen something more horrible in the dark room. I don't really want to remember it, but I have to say it, because it might help you. To the west of this place lived a group of humanoids the size of children, and it was a disaster for them to attack a living person at the sight of them, and the three of us fought bloodily for a while to escape. Rena said with a sigh of relief. Her face turned a little pale as she narrated, and it was clear that these little monsters were not as simple as they seemed.
"Child-sized? It can't be a halfling, right? Ammon suddenly jumped out and asked.
Rena frowned and muttered, "Halfling? If a halfling will tear and bite your body. It swallows both flesh and marrow. Then they're halflings. Be careful if you run into these guys. They are a tough opponent for any warrior, and they have a very good appetite. ”
"Oh, damn it! I don't remember halflings eating people! Robert cursed under his breath. As the leader of the thieves, he had seen all kinds of halfling thieves, but this was the first time he had heard of cannibalism.
"Maybe I'm hungry, or maybe I'm under the influence of that damn will of the Abyss, anyway. We're going to deal with these little cannibals. After saying that, Sheena shrugged her shoulders with a nonchalant expression. Since the effect of the magic object on her ear, not only has her mind become very indifferent, but even her sense of fear seems to have completely disappeared.
Henry nodded slightly. "The reasoning makes a lot of sense, and we're going to have to go deep into the interior anyway. If there is anything else that needs attention, just say it, and it's good to be mentally prepared in advance. ”
"I also have a piece of advice here, there is a room due north, and in it is a huge pool of fish that can walk like a man. They are vicious, with sharp teeth enough to bite through most armor, making them a formidable group of enemies. Anken raised his arm. Let everyone look at the row of small holes above. Obviously, these are all bitten out by a huge one.
"I bet. This is definitely the tooth mark of the Sawa Fishman, because the Koutao Fishman definitely does not have such a large mouth and sharp teeth. Robert knew what the monster was just by looking at it. After all, there are generally only so many kinds of fish people in the Faren Continent, and there are only two kinds of fish that are suitable for standing walking.
With the help of the Sorenian Knights and the three Holy Sword Knights, everyone quickly had a general understanding of the entire dimensional sphere. In addition to the fish man and the man-eating dwarf, further inside, there is also a magician's real yàn room. According to Angfo's account, there was a golem with a missing head and arms, and it would have been helpful if it had been repaired.
As for going any deeper, they can't help it. After all, the limitations of a warrior are too great, and once you encounter a locked door or a magic puzzle, you are completely blind. Not to mention cracking it, you may not even understand it when you look at it.
After receiving the necessary information, Henry thanked him, and then walked due north, to the room of the Sawah Fishman. For him, it is very necessary to clean up these restless little trash fish first. Anyway, it won't be much trouble, and you can also observe the structure there along the way.
As soon as they approached the door, everyone immediately smelled the fishy smell of seawater, and a little water stain also flowed from the crack of the door. Sheena squatted down and dipped her finger in it, put it in her mouth and licked it and exclaimed, "It's actually salty?" It's unbelievable! ”
"Isn't that what makes the impossible possible? Let's open the door, let's kill all the fishmen inside, and then continue to explore inside. Saying that, Henry began to bless himself with the "Iron Skin", and at the same time cast several buff magic spells. After a few minutes, he was holding the "Archmage's Staff" in one hand and the long knife in the other, and he looked completely ready for battle.
Seeing this, Ammon quickly pulled out his thief's tools, and it only took a few seconds to open the lock and kick the door open. In an instant, everyone saw a very strange scene. A large jar extended from the wall to the center of the room, filling it with water.
There are also more than a dozen thick water pipes laid on the ground, which are covered with small holes, and the water is evenly sprayed everywhere, so that it always maintains a depth of about one foot. The seven Sawfish people live in such an environment, and it seems that they are either captive test subjects, or they are observing the living habits of these sea creatures.
Hina glanced at the ground and immediately cursed in a low voice, "Damn! This kind of ground is too soft to slip if you are not careful, let alone fight. ”
"I'm worried, I'll let them get out on their own. Of course, it is also possible that they were all poisoned inside. After saying that, Henry directly released a "Dead Cloud Technique" and a "Stinky Cloud Technique".
The poisonous gas could not be dispersed in the small room at once, and four relatively weak guys were immediately poisoned to the ground, and a large amount of blood gushed out of their mouths, ears, and noses. You don't need to check to know that you can't survive. The remaining three immediately held their breath. Rushed straight to the door.
Just as they were about to approach the gate. A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Ammon's face, and he quickly took out a piece of lard and quickly completed the spell and action, and the "greasy technique" was successfully cast. I have to say that her timing was very good, and the three unlucky guys slipped in front of everyone in an instant.
Unceremoniously, Robert stabbed the magic dagger directly into the eye of one of the fishmen, and also stirred it vigorously to ensure that the brain was completely destroyed. Sheena and Henry were much more straightforward. With the sharpness of the weapon, he directly cut off the heads of the other two guys.
The whole battle ended before it began, and poor Sawa Fishman became a ghost before he could figure out what was going on. But it's no wonder that under the crushing of absolute strength, a few small trash fish can't make any waves at all, and even if they really rush out, they will be put in the end in minutes.
Henry shook the blood from the long knife, then stared at the water-filled room and sighed, "What a nice design, perfect for raising some amphibians." The main water pipe must have been connected to the sea by some kind of magic, and the lines on the walls measure the water level, and the whole process is fully automatic, so there is no need to bother to manage it at all. ”
"I'm curious. What are the benefits of taking the time and effort to build such a place? Ammon asked curiously. With all her knowledge, she couldn't understand the meaning of doing so.
"The benefits? That's too much. For example, you can observe and understand the social structure, physiological characteristics, habits and so on of these creatures. From these aspects, judge whether they can be charged zhì, or even further enslavement. Of course, it is not excluded to carry out some special practical yàn, such as vivisection......" Henry explained to everyone with great interest.
He felt that whether it was Aemon the mage Jane the thief or Sheena the mage and sword master, the knowledge reserve was too poor. They see magic as a means of fighting and responding to crises, not a subject worthy of further study. Obviously, this kind of incomprehension is dangerous, especially for magic itself, which has a great deal of uncertainty.
As they spoke, they walked, and soon they came to the passage on the west side. As soon as I opened the door, a gust of dust blown up by the wind blew in my face, and everyone was disgraced. But when they reopened their eyes, they immediately saw a strange picture.
In the endless void, huge rocks floated, and several earthen bridges kept them connected. Because the ground is so dry, the soil is dry and cracked into small pieces, small pieces, and as long as a little wind blows, it will bring up a lot of dust. Not far away, there were a large number of low shacks, and many halfling-looking creatures walked around.
However, what is frightening is that there are a large number of bones stuck in the vicinity of their village, which are undoubtedly humanoids in terms of size and structure. Like the Sorenian Knights Rena said, these guys are cannibals.
While Henry was taking a closer look at his surroundings, Ammon suddenly shouted in fear, "Look! That...... What is that halfling doing! ”
Following the direction of her finger, everyone saw a disgusting scene. A bloody halfling was sitting on the ground, gnawing on a thigh. His mouth was full of red minced flesh, blood was running down his chin, and the whole scene looked disgusting.
"There's no need to think about it anymore, these guys are all damned." Henry said with a grim face. It was clear that he was now enraged. Cannibalism is a taboo thing to do in most civilized societies, and even orcs who worship barbarism and chaos would not do so.
"So what are you waiting for, let's do it. These man-eating demons are not supposed to live in the world, and it just so happens that the abyss is right outside, an excellent place to be buried. As she spoke, Sheena drew her two-handed greatsword.
Her face wasn't very good-looking, after all, who would be indifferent to such an act as a human being. Robert also pulled out his weapon without saying a word, and his eyes flashed dangerously. As for Ammon who had vomited all the contents of his stomach, he looked furious, the divinity was in a hurry, and a killing was about to begin...... (To be continued......)
