Chapter 299: Escape Four
The strange smell of vomit combined with the stench of the corpses of the rotting dung monsters filled the entire passage with something disgusting. This is simply the limit of sight and smell, and even Henry almost couldn't help but vomit with it. In order to be able to clear a clean path, he did not hesitate to use the Fireball Staff. With a series of violent explosions, the corpse of the dung monster was completely blasted out.
The group tiptoed and carefully pinched their noses past the corpse. They are all very fast, for fear of getting something disgusting. As Henry passed by, he spotted a strangely shaped key in the minced flesh of the dung monster. He picked it up with a mage's hand and rinsed it with water several times before putting it in his fanny pack.
Passing through the garbage disposal area, the group followed the tunnel that led to the north to a lavish room. As soon as he stepped through the door, suddenly a burst of alarm bells rang throughout the floor, startling everyone. They quickly drew their weapons and prepared for battle, but after a long time no enemy appeared.
"Put all your weapons away, I think the enemies on this floor should be almost cleared." Henry said to everyone as he searched the contents of the house.
"Damn! This place makes me nervous. Apodell kicked the chair to the side and cursed in a low voice.
After removing several magic traps, Henry retrieved another oddly shaped key in a locked chest. After searching the room for valuables, they followed Malak's prompts to turn right and enter a small underground garden. The verdant trees and flowers make everyone feel like they are in the forest, and even some impatience is relieved.
After not going far, three beautiful women suddenly appeared from behind the tall trees. They rushed up to Henry and bowed deeply. "Dear Guardians of Nature. Please help us. This evil mage has forcibly imprisoned us here. As a slave to his desires. ”
"This bastard! How dare you desecrate the beautiful creations of nature in such a way! Jasila let out a roar of rage.
Henry took out the fruit of the oak tree from his bag and said to the three dryads, "This must belong to you, right?" Go ahead. Need me to do it. As a druid, it is a duty and an obligation to help beautiful elves return to nature. ”
An elf was ecstatic to pick up a seed and sniff it. "That's right, that's our acorn. All you have to do is bring them to the Wind Spear Hill and the Queen of Treants will take care of them. ”
Henry nodded, and reassembled all the fruits. "No problem, as long as I get out of here safely, I'll send the seed over immediately. Other than that. We're looking for a flask that imprisons Malak, do you know where it is? ”
"Of course, this bottle is in my hand, take it. But I'd better search the back room, the key to get out of here should be hidden somewhere inside. Be careful, the room is full of alarm bells and traps. With that, the dryad took out a dark purple bottle encrusted with gems from behind him.
Apodell eagerly took the bottle and stuffed it into his pocket. After saying goodbye to the tree spirits, they walked along the garden path to Joan. Irenikas's bedroom. I have to say that the decoration and style here are very beautiful, and everywhere is full of elven elegance and tranquility.
Amon looked at the mural on the wall and sighed, "This ...... It's a beautiful place. It's unimaginable. How could a guy with no humanity have such a quiet and beautiful room. ”
"Joan. Irenikas was an elf before he was banished. It's just a recollection of his past, or a habit he's cultivated over time. I'm sure it has nothing to do with character. After saying that, Henry cast a "detection trap". The entire room instantly lit up with countless red lights. Magic traps fill every corner.
The girl was speechless in astonishment. She couldn't imagine how perverted a person would be to set so many traps in her bedroom. Henry stepped forward and touched Ammon's hair and said, "Don't look at it, quickly dismantle all these traps." I've already said that these decorations have nothing to do with character. Joan. Irenikas would never trust anyone but herself. ”
"Okay, but it will take a little time for all of these traps to be removed." As she spoke, the girl took out her tools and began to work on the ground intently.
After more than ten minutes, the traps in the house were cleared, and everyone began to search for the key to the portal. The room wasn't too big, and it took only a few moments for the five of them to dig out a handful of keys woven from mythril thread in an intricately decorated chest. At the top of it is a black pearl that makes a "buzzing" sound when touched lightly.
"Oh my God, is this really just a key? How I feel better than those works of art. Apodell sighed after taking one look.
Aemon nodded. "That's right, it's the most beautiful key I've ever seen. Remember to take it away after a while, it will definitely sell for a lot of money. ”
As Jasila grabbed a ball of silk, a gem tumbled out of it. Henry hurriedly picked it up and released a "discernment", and immediately got specific information.
"The Balancer" Hilt Gem:
This is one of the fragments of the "Balancer", a powerful longsword forged from ancient times as a tool to balance the forces of the universe. Also known as the "Sword of Neutrality", the more the target's faction deviates from "Absolute Neutrality", the more damage it deals. It is said that the balancer was finally defeated by the elven hero "Aram. Green Leaf", he disappeared after traveling to the Dark Regions. However, other rumors say that the sword's hilt gem was stolen by a slave who escaped back to the surface world.
"The goddess of the forest is above, and this is actually part of the balancer. We must be cautious, otherwise it is likely to attract the prying eyes of many forces. Jasila warned with a stern expression.
Henry nodded, pulled out a box made of magic, and placed the gem inside. This was originally intended for the storage of the Nexera Scroll, which prevented all detection spells, and even if the gods were present, they would not be able to see through the contents of the box. The Balancer's Sword is not the chicken rib of the game, as a legendary weapon that can only be used by neutral factions, it is no less powerful than the "Holy Avenger".
"Well, now you don't have to worry about it. This box blocks all detection magic, and as long as we don't say it, no one will know that the pieces of the Balancer's Sword are here. ”
"So what are you waiting for, let's go to Malak and get that thing back, and escape through the portal." With that, Apodell hurried outside.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate, two tall clay golems blocked the exit. One of them said in a deep voice: "The master's room has been invaded, and all intruders will die." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a thick arm smashed over, and Apodell couldn't dodge and was hit hard in the stomach. The golem's tremendous force sent it flying straight away, knocking down all the bookcases and tables along the way, until it hit the wall before stopping and vomiting a mouthful of blood.
"Apodell!" Jasila shouted and hurried over to check on the injuries. Anyone can see that this time must not be light. Because the chest of the magic armor has deflated a large hole, it seems that at least seven or eight ribs have been broken.
Minsk roared, turned on a furious stance, raised the hammer and rushed forward. Amon also circled to the side with two weapons in his hand, and when he saw an opportunity, he rushed up and slashed at the opportunity. Unfortunately, piercing and slashing attacks have no effect on the Clay Golem. The cut that had just been cut would heal automatically in a matter of seconds.
Henry knew that except for the "Ma Yufu Micrometeor", other spells could not do any damage at all. This golem was designed to protect the maker from magical damage. He honestly followed what the textbook said, hiding in the farthest place, and kept attacking the clay golem's control center with micrometeors.
As the Minsk war hammer slammed into the golem's chest, the hidden control device was finally revealed. Ammon's hand was quick, and he instantly flashed to the front and stabbed into it, only to hear a muffled sound, and a clay golem was destroyed. The only clay golem left was no threat, and after a few minutes it was the last one.
As soon as the battle was over, Henry hurried over to check on Apodell, who was lying unconscious on the ground. Upon examination, half of the ribs in his chest were broken, and his brain was violently concussed. Although he has been treated with divine magic, it will take at least an hour or so to wake up. After a brief deliberation, it was decided that Henry would be left alone to exchange for the magic items, while the others would rest in place for a while.
With the bottle in hand, Henry chose to use teleportation directly. He didn't want to pass by that disgusting garbage dump, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat for the day.
As soon as he came to the golden lamp, Malak came out of it and shouted, "I feel the storage of the bottle!" Hurry up and let's start the exchange. ”
Henry didn't want to talk nonsense either, so he handed the bottle over. That's exactly what I mean. Here's your bottle, and bring the two-handed sword that belongs to Apodell. ”
"How do you know it's a two-handed sword? Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, here you go. As he spoke, Malak threw a red-glowing sword from the lamp, and then let out laughter. Hahahaha! I'm finally free. Goodbye, mortal. Before leaving, I must warn you that the farther away from the master here, the better, for his power is beyond your imagination. ”
Hearing Malak's kind warning, Henry couldn't help but laugh. "Hahahaha! I can say know Joan better than anyone. Irenikas is terrifying and powerful. However, his sanity had begun to crumble, which was a fatal flaw for a mage. Spellcasters who don't know how to be cautious usually live short, and I'll prove that shortly. (To be continued......)
