Chapter 449: Bad News
According to scientific research, the behavior that can quickly bring people closer to each other is to do bad things together, in addition to rolling chuang sheets. After this incident, the relationship between Aemon and Yao En immediately improved, and since the two had very similar personalities, they became good friends after only a few minutes.
While they were chatting, Naria hurried out of the council building and shouted, "Ammon! Sorry for being late, are you looking for me in a hurry? β
"Aha, you're finally here. We found a horde of Mind Flayers and their slaves in the sewers of the temple area, and Henry told me to come back and report it. In addition, this is a map, and the place marked on it is the entrance. As he spoke, Ammon pulled out a crumpled piece of parchment from his bosom.
The news startled Naria and hurriedly asked, "How is it possible?!" How many of them are there? I need a specific number. β
Ammon scratched his head and thought for a moment before replying, "Uh...... According to preliminary estimates, there were at least 300 Mind Flayers, and as for the number of slaves charged with zhΓ¬, it is difficult to confirm that there are almost 2,000 or more. Henry felt as if these guys were going to build a city here, so it was best to gather an army to clear it out, otherwise it would not be so easy to attack once it was all built. β
"Damn! This is a terrible threat, and I must inform the Council immediately. Naria was clearly frightened, and before she could even say goodbye, she ran to the building in a panic. She couldn't imagine the damage that so many terrible enemies could do from the sewers to the streets, and I was afraid that half the city would be reduced to rubble.
"Hey. This friend of yours is rude. He didn't even say hello to me. Yao En pouted and said.
Aeon shrugged his shoulders and defended Naria, "No way. You know, the news I've brought is pretty bad, and as an honorary councillor, she has to do everything in her power to find a solution to ensure that these evil creatures don't threaten all citizens. β
"Well, you have a point. By the way, what are you going to do next? Isn't it going to keep drilling sewers? As he spoke, Yao En's face showed a hint of fear. He remembered that he went to the sewers some time ago to get some extra money, and he almost ended up being food for the dung monsters.
"Of course I want to go back and meet my teammates. But I only have one teleportation scroll right now, so I'm afraid I can't bring you with me. Aemon said regretfully. She's really a little reluctant to part with this well-spoken dwarf now. After all, it's not easy to find someone with such a similar personality.
As soon as he heard the magic scroll with teleportation, Yao En's eyes immediately lit up. He quickly opened his backpack and pulled out a strange set of tools, followed by Ammon and said, "Get that scroll out, I have a way to transform it into something that can teleport two people." It's a great technique, and if it weren't for the fact that you helped me, I wouldn't have shown it lightly. β
Suspiciously, Amon took out the scroll and handed it over, and said, "I have this one in my hand, you must not break it, or we will have to go through the dangerous sewers." β
"Rest assured, Yao En's products must be high-quality, and there will be no quality problems." Saying this, the frantic dwarf spread out the scroll. I started to transform with those strange tools, and I don't know what the consequences will be......

Meanwhile. Henry's party also went through several battles before finally reaching the northwest area of the sewers. Everyone looked a little bit wolfy, and even SΓ©rielle, who had always loved cleanliness, was stained with a lot of stinky water. They had just encountered a large group of ooze monsters, and they didn't know what was going on, these guys would actually explode after they died, splashing the dirt in their bodies everywhere, and there was no place to hide.
Kaidong washed his face with the water in the kettle and pointed to the passage on the left: "This is the headquarters of the Blind Eye Cult, be careful for a while, their leader Gal is very vigilant, as long as he finds something wrong, he will attack immediately." β
"Don't worry, I'm very experienced with these guys, and I will definitely not be seen in any flaws." As he spoke, Henry used magic to change his appearance slightly. After all, his popularity is not low now, so it is better to cover up. As for the rest, there is little to worry about.
Selly Love had just come to the main plane from Heavenly Mountain, and it was impossible for anyone to know her. Hina the Dragon Maiden had lived on the ridge of the desolate world before, and had little contact with the outside world. The only one who is easily exposed is Uncle Kaidon, but he is now wearing a helmet and can't see his face clearly.
Wading through a stinking ditch, the group walked into the passage on the left. It's a different world from the outside, and not only does it not smell disgusting to rot, but the floor and walls are so dry that they look like they've been abandoned for quite some time. However, they did not let their guard down because of this, because both the two paladins and Henry felt a faint negative energy, and the further they went, the higher the concentration.
Suddenly, a group of black, monster-like things rushed out of a dark corner. All of them were composed of a cloud of black negative energy, except for two white cold rays of light on the part of their eyes. There is no doubt that these are shadow creatures, not only immune to the damage of ordinary weapons, but also quite resistant to fire, cold, and electricity, and the creatures that are touched will find that their strength becomes smaller and smaller, and finally they can't even swing their weapons.
However, they also have many weaknesses, the first of which is that they must not be exposed to sunlight, otherwise they will immediately turn into a small pinch of dust. Secondly, any positive energy or healing spell can deal a very significant amount of damage, and the Priest and Paladin's Excess Undead are equally effective. In short, it's a big hassle for the average adventurer, but it's not a threat to the elite squad at all.
"Tyre gives me strength!" Celeph chanted the holy name of the God of Justice and began to chant aloud a prayer to disperse the undead. The majestic positive energy emanated from her body, frightening many shadows with relatively poor strength to retreat again and again, and several people who couldn't dodge directly screamed and dissipated into the air.
Kaidong shouted, "Well done! He then rushed forward brandishing the Holy Avenger. As a result of the discovery of evil, the holy sword bloomed with a golden light, and all shadow creatures that were wiped out were instantly vaporized, and in just one minute, all enemies were cleaned.
The skillful cooperation of the two holy warriors prevented the other two from even having a chance to make a move. This is one of the reasons why they are so popular, these professionally trained paladins are more reliable than regular adventuring squads when it comes to dealing with undead and evil creatures, and most importantly they never charge anything. No one doesn't like a free service, especially when free is better than a fee, and why shouldn't people accept it.
"I can feel that there must be a lot of undead creatures in captivity within this cult, otherwise the negative energy in this area can't be so strong." Sally Leph said with a frown. She grew up in Heavenly Mountain, which is full of orderliness and kindness, and has always been extremely sensitive to evil things.
Henry used the power of the legendary druid to summon a few mice to ask, and then immediately nodded. "You're right, Blind Eye has created a pit of unbelievers in it, filled with ghouls, zombies, and the like of the undead, and anyone who thinks the faith is ungodly or refuses to gouge out their eyes will be killed and thrown down."
"What a disgusting evil! They must be purified right away! Saying that, this girl with a sense of justice drew her weapon and was about to rush to find someone desperately.
But before she could throw two steps, she was grabbed by Kaidong. "Kid, you're too impatient. Our first task is to investigate the truth behind them, otherwise even if we kill all these people, the cult will rise again after a while. Remember, as a paladin you have to learn restraint, because being too impulsive will often do bad things with good intentions, and if you are not careful, you will fall. I have been in the Knights for so many years, and I have seen many examples of this. β
"Uncle, I think you're too strict with Celileph, she's only fifteen years old, and she's still a child. At this age, I used to fight with my peers, steal food, and plug other people's chimneys. With that, Hina pulled the holy warrior girl into her arms and patted her somewhat immature shoulder comfortingly.
Kaidong shook his head with a wry smile and explained, "You don't understand, once you become a holy warrior, it means responsibility, an extremely heavy responsibility, and it has nothing to do with age or anything. Knowing that the purer the soul, the more evil prying eyes will be, and I believe that the priests of those evil gods will be very willing to see a paladin like Selileph degenerate into a dark guard, and they will do everything they can to set up all kinds of traps, so this can only be avoided by growing up as much as possible. β
"That's right, as far as I know, every year the Knights of the Warmest Heart have several apprentice paladins who fall on impulse or because they make the wrong choices. Uncle Kaidon is talking about this from experience, so it doesn't hurt to listen to it more. In addition, when I negotiate with the leader of the cult for a while, I must hold back and not show any disgust. β
Saying that, Henry also touched the long black hair of Sailie Leph, he still had a good impression of this holy warrior girl who was a little naΓ―ve and a little stubborn, and he didn't want something to happen in his team.
Although believers in the God of Justice, although somewhat rigid and dogmatic, rarely find people annoying. They always stand on a relatively objective and impartial standpoint, and it is precisely because of this that many towns are willing to hire these guys as law enforcement officers, not only to prevent corruption from breeding, but also to prove to the people that their laws are just, at least in line with the values of the god of justice, so as to reduce the dissatisfaction of the people at the bottom.
