Lord Highlander

Chapter 467: 466. Library

A sweet smile bloomed on Aphrodite's face. She put her little hand on Suldak's outstretched arm, and with the help of Suldak's strength, she climbed up the heavily deserted stone wall. The four of them didn't have time After picking up the corpse of the hellhound, he fled the execution ground in a hurry.

The sound of fighting in the execution ground quickly attracted the nearby hell dog patrol team.

There were nearly a dozen corpses of hell dogs lying near the stone platform. Some thick purple blood dripped onto the sand and quickly formed black and purple hard scabs. A large area came out, and some of the other hell dogs had their heads smashed, and some were shot in the eyes by sharp arrows and died on the spot.

"Aww..."

The howling of the hellhounds sounded like an alarm in the ruins of the city.

The two succubi who heard the warning from the Hellhounds stood on the street not far from the execution ground. They looked at each other with complicated emotions. They did not fly to the execution ground immediately, but saw a The figures of a large number of hell dogs spread their wings and flew into the air, rushing back to the execution ground first.

The two succubi saw the body of the executioner that had been split in half on the stone platform, and after confirming repeatedly that Aphrodite had escaped, they returned to the execution ground to pretend to look for clues.

At the same time, a three-headed hellhound arrived with a large group of men.

The three heads shot out terrified anger, constantly looking left and right to find clues on the field, the three hellhounds saw the mess on the execution ground, almost all of which were the corpses of hellhounds, and couldn't help but let out a burst of low roar.

Its three pairs of eyes glared viciously at the two succubi, their eyes full of threats and warnings. The three hellhounds and the two succubi had no communication on the execution ground. His subordinates quickly surrounded all areas of the execution ground.

Not long after, a black magician drove over from the direction of the library riding a magic scorpion.

The three hellhounds and the succubus looked at the black mage at the same time. The magic scorpion brought a gust of wind and fell down. Boarded the stone platform of the execution ground, squatted down next to the body of Xing Mo who had been split into two, and watched the Xing Mo that he summoned after spending several precious magic materials being split in half, the black magician just silently Put Xing Mo's broken body into the magic pocket, and prepare to go back and check again, whether it is possible to repair it again.

But thinking about drawing a set of extremely complicated magic summoning arrays, the black magician had a headache.

With a sullen face, he ordered to the three-headed hellhound: "Order your subordinates to catch her again. I want to know the truth about this matter."

He is not very fluent in Mozu language. The three heads of the three hellhounds looked over at the same time, and the three heads showed different expressions. He said politely: "Every giant dog is the best warrior in the clan. They will not die in vain. I will smash the enemy who killed them into pieces..."

The head with eyes as cold as ice stared at the stone platform and said: "It is at least a team of human constructed knights who can take away the criminals in such a short time."

The head in the middle of the three hellhounds opened a pair of black pupils, and those eyes were filled with deep silence, and said to the black magician: "The imperial knight squad has been infiltrated in the ruins of this city, and they must not be there yet." Go far, it should be too late to find it now."

Seeing that the black magician was noncommittal, it turned its head and growled a few times at the giant hell dogs that had been following behind it. Those giant hell dogs jumped onto the bone pile and ran away in all directions, saying There were bursts of howls.

All of a sudden, the ordinary hell dogs who heard the howling sound gathered towards several giant hell dogs. In just a few minutes, the streets of the ruins of the city were already full of hell dogs. More hell dogs continued to gather from all directions, and these hell dogs went crazy and began to search the ruins of the city.

Those ghost monkeys who were thought to be hidden were found out from the ruins by the hell dogs again, and chased them like dogs.

The three hellhounds looked like a king, jumped onto the highest pile of bones, raised their three heads and let out a long howl into the air.

There were only two succubus left on the execution ground. The black magician turned around and looked at the two succubus coldly, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction and warning. The two succubus looked at each other and put their hands on the high Shrugged his chest, bowed to the black magician, and asked in a low voice: "My lord special envoy, what do you need our succubus clan to do?"

The black mage snorted softly in his nose, and warned the two succubi in an extremely dissatisfied tone: "I hope you don't cover up Aphrodite, otherwise this matter will go to King Amozdan, It won't be so easy!"

One of the taller succubi hurried forward and said in a sweet voice: "We will definitely not cover up Aphrodite, she is responsible for all this, and I will tell the truth to the leader."

The black mage's expression softened slightly, and he said:

"That's good!"

The two succubi glanced at each other again, and then said: "Master Special Envoy, if there is nothing else, let's go to rest first!"

The black mage raised his head again, and asked the two succubi, "By the way, how are you finding the materials to strengthen the passage to hell?"

The two succubus quickly lowered their heads and said to the black magician, "Recently, the scope of activities of the magician investigation team outside has become wider and wider. Every time we go out, we have to take advantage of the night, so we don't have much gain."

The black magician obviously didn't expect too much from the succubus, he just said: "Speed ​​up the translation process of the grimoire, maybe in the recent period, we will be able to obtain the coordinate points of the Maca plane, maybe King Amozdan There is a way to reversely strengthen the hell passage, as long as the demon warriors can enter the Maca plane through this passage, even if the main force of the Bena army rushes over, it is impossible to be the opponent of the demon army."

When the succubus saw what the black magician said, she hurriedly said:

"Yes! Follow your arrangement."

...

When the leader of the three hellhounds summoned all the hellhounds in the ruins of the city, Suldak was moving towards the edge of the city ruins.

There were bursts of howling of hell dogs.

The giant hellhounds all over the city also took the opportunity to respond, and they also stood on the heights of the city ruins, roaring.

The city was filled with the howling of hellhounds.

A large number of hellhounds poured into the city center through all roads, so that Suldak's team could only hide in the rubble of a ruin to avoid the large number of hellhounds.

The succubus has been silently following behind Suldak, and the half-elf archer Samira looked up at the street entrance. The originally empty street was crowded with hell dogs passing by, and occasionally a few ghost monkeys came from there. It got out of the hidden city ruins, spit out a few poisonous needles at the hell dog, and then shook a big head, launching a suicide attack at the hell dog.

The hell dogs killed the ghost monkeys in one bite, and then moved on with the ghost monkey's corpse in their mouths.

Samira carefully put down the camouflage on the top of her head. She squeezed beside Suldak, her fine hair was covered with sand. She asked Suldak in a low voice:

"Now the ruins of the city are full of patrolling hellhounds, what should we do next?"

Suldak knew that he couldn't keep hiding in the crevice of the ruins, and that the hellhounds would search here soon, so he said, "We need to find a safe place to hide first, to avoid the big hellhounds." Search, and then look for opportunities to leave the ruins of the city, it is not safe here."

"There are so many hell dogs searching everywhere outside, where can we go?" Andrew, a native warrior, huddled in the ruins, even having difficulty breathing.

Suldak and Samira had nothing to do, and they didn't know where the team should hide for a while.

"If you want me to say, let's choose a direction and go straight out. I don't think those hell dogs may be able to stop us!" Andrew said confidently touching the big ax in his arms.

When the three people in the team were struggling, the succubus Aphrodite hid beside her and said weakly: "I know a very secret place, it's safe, and the hellhounds haven't dared to search it yet."

...

In this hiding place where it was difficult to even turn around, the succubus Aphrodite crawled over Suldak, crossed Samira, and scraped away the sand under the uncollapsed wall behind Andrew. A stone slab came, and the succubus Aphrodite said to Andrew: "Help me move this slate away!"

Although she spoke Grimm Empire language, her tone of voice always seemed so weird.

Although Andrew didn't say a word, according to the words of the succubus, he lifted the stone slab below with one hand, and there was a dark hole under the slate, and some sand slid down the edge of the hole.

The succubus Aphrodite jumped down first. The hole was not deep, and the succubus Aphrodite stood in the hole with her upper body exposed.

She smiled, but she looked a little forced, as if she remembered something unhappy.

She said to everyone in the team: "Originally, this is an abandoned drainage channel that I found after consulting a lot of urban construction drawings in the library. Now this channel has been dry for many years, but the rock slabs inside have not weathered. This is part of my escape plan, but before I can use it, Gilmore was caught!"

As she spoke, she lowered her body and got into the dark ditch.

When Andrew was hesitating, Samira had already passed Andrew, and turned lightly into the pitch-dark canal.

Andrew also gritted his teeth, and jumped from the hole. He was so tall that he had to kneel in the dark ditch to crawl forward.

When Suldak jumped down, he did not forget to restore the stone slab at the entrance of the cave to its original state. The succubus Aphrodite climbed to the front. The inside of the dark ditch was very dark, and the succubus Aphrodite did not know what to say. With magic, her eyes released two beams of light, illuminating the path ahead of the dark canal.

I don't know how long this underground ditch has been dry. The ditch has been stepped on very smooth, and there is no messy debris.

Suldak was thinking about who cleaned up this underground drain so clean, when he saw a shadow flashing in front of him.

Samira quickly put the feather arrow on the forest bow, and shot an arrow with a 'swish', directly shooting through the shadow.

The forest bow in her hand is a kind of short bow, which can be used even in a narrow underground ditch.

The succubus Aphrodite crawled at a faster speed. In the dark ditch in front, a ghost monkey's head was pierced by a feather arrow and fell straight on the ground. The other ghost monkeys in the dark ditch ran away in fright.

"It turns out that this is their hiding place!" Andrew said with a sigh as he looked at the straight ghost monkey that had been shot through the head.

The succubus Aphrodite looked at the ghost monkey with complicated eyes, and didn't know what unhappy things came to her mind.

She sorted out her mood and continued to lead the way.

After Samira shot and killed seven ghost monkeys in a row, the ghost monkeys hiding in the dark ditch finally did not dare to appear in the eyes of everyone. The succubus Aphrodite crawled ahead for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a shaft. Down, it's a little more spacious here. At least everyone can take turns to stand up and stretch their muscles and bones, and the underside of the culvert is covered with fine river sand, so even if you are tired, you can lie down and sleep. This is indeed a very good hiding place.

Everyone thought this was the hiding place chosen by the succubus Aphrodite.

Suldak even wondered whether the secret passage formed by this underdrain could lead to the outside of the city.

But at this moment, the succubus Aphrodite quietly climbed up the ladder of the shaft. She pushed the manhole cover and got out. Samira was afraid that she would run away alone, so she also got out after her... …

Suldak and Andrew hurriedly followed, the shaft was connected to a long and narrow corridor, almost like a long and narrow gap in a building.

The succubus Aphrodite pried open a ventilation duct, which was even narrower, and Andrew could only crawl forward inside.

Through the thick walls, the team of four walked into a slightly brighter room.

What came into Suldak's sight was a room filled with books all around. The moonstone on the roof of the room released soft light. There was a slanted desk in the center of the room. Suldak stood behind Aphrodite. , looked at this very private room, and asked the succubus, "Where is this?"

The succubus Aphrodite sat down beside the desk, she glanced at the bookshelves on the surrounding walls, and replied, "A room in the library..."

"You brought us to the library?" Suldak didn't expect Aphrodite to be so bold, and couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

"Without the orders of the special envoy, no hellhound will approach here! We can hide here for a while, and they will never think that we will be here!" After finishing speaking, she walked to the wall.

Pointing to the bookshelves full of books on the wall, he said: "Here is the record of all the civilizations in this ancient city, which may be helpful for you to understand the ruins of this city, oh! By the way, I have heard that the special envoy used The Grimm Empire described this period of history, and she called it the Hex civilization of the goblin era..."
