Lord Highlander

  Chapter 470 469. Empty room

After Suldak entered Wojmara City with the Hailansa guards, he cooperated with the city guards to carry out a battle to defend Wojmara City. As reinforcements from all walks of life continued to enter Wojmara City, the city The Hellhound Legion outside did not continue to launch large-scale siege battles, but the battle outside the city gate continued every day, and a large number of Hellhounds were wiped out by the Knights.

The Hellhound Legion could not stop the heavy cavalry of the Bena Army, and the most elite constructed swordsman regiment of the Bena Army had begun to point their swords backwards, allowing the Hellhound Army to continuously appear on the Maca plane. Hell passage, the Hell Legion executives are also aware of this problem.

At the same time, the plan to strengthen the **** channel is also in full swing. Once the reinforcement of the **** channel is completed, the main force of the **** legion will enter the Maca plane. During the battle, it was impossible to withdraw from the Warsaw plane in time, and the existing military strength in Wojmara City could not stop the demon army at all.

  The focus on the battlefield has also shifted from the siege of Wojmara to the destruction of the **** passage on the Maca plane. For this reason, Marquis Luthor sent a large number of reconnaissance teams into the wild jungle.

  In order to avoid exposing the demon gate prematurely, the high-level Hell Legion not only sent a large number of **** dogs into the battlefield, but also sent succubi to carry out large-scale infiltration operations.

Swordsman Haines leaned against the sand wall and said to Suldak: "This time the succubus has infiltrated the legion very widely. In addition to the various departments of the Bena army, it also includes some nobles and businessmen in the city of Wojmara. , in addition to controlling the movement of the legion, they are also preparing to cause some turmoil and chaos within the legion, so as to support the army's progress and buy time for the reinforcement of the passage to hell."

   There was a sound of **** dogs running past outside, and everyone held their breath. Those **** dogs didn't find the team of people who were only separated from them by a wall.

  Swordsman Haynes paused for a moment, and waited until all the hellhounds had left before continuing: "I think even if this operation fails, some of us must leave here alive and bring out the information here."

   After finishing speaking, he took a serious look at Suldak.

Suldak nodded, and introduced to Haynes Swordsman: "She is Aphrodite. To be honest, you should thank her. She brought us to the Colosseum Prison. I think she is trustworthy. These It's my subordinate—a member of the security squad in the barren land outside the mountain pass of the Response Squadron of the Hailansa Guard Battalion."

  He uttered a long list of names, and he didn't know how many Haynes swordsmen could remember. In fact, it was enough to remember the Hailansa Guard Battalion.

"I know!" The smile on Haines' face was a bit intriguing, and then he explained: "I saw her when I was in the cage, and her behavior is indeed a bit special, not like other succubi. Hostile, but also full of curiosity about the human world. Baron Gilmore just wanted to escape here by getting close to her, but that idiot did not keep the secret. His conspiracy was discovered by another succubus. After the matter was revealed, this Afu Miss Rudy Succubus was chopped off her wings and locked in a cage, I never thought you would save her."

Suldak didn't expect that the succubus lady who came to **** met a scumbag, lost her wings and almost died, and even persuaded their team to go to the prison to rescue them. That Gilmore kicked it off and sold it out and out twice.

   No wonder she looks disheartened, she will definitely not be able to go home now, maybe going through these things can make her more mature.

  Suldak said to Haines: "I didn't see it clearly at the execution ground. I thought she was a human being who was about to be executed. After I was rescued, I found out that she was a succubus, but she seemed different from other succubi."

  Aphrodite smiled at Haines, with a forced smile.

   After a short rest, Suldak stood up from the ruins and said to a group of people: "Let's go, hoping to find clues about the transmission channel."

  He did not lead everyone out of the ruins, but asked Aphrodite to find the vein of the underdrain, enter the underdrain again, and sneaked into the library without a sound.

It was only then that Haines discovered that Suldak's team was not completely unprepared. These plans seemed to have been planned long ago, and there must be some people who would not want to participate in this mission. Suldak actually asked them to leave It has also become part of the plan. Those knights, nobles and merchants will not know until their death how many **** dogs they have led to the Suldak team. If they appeared in front of the members of the Ke team, they would probably run away from them when they saw them.

   "It turns out that you have already made a battle plan..." Swordsman Haines said with a dazed expression.

Holding the torch of holy light, Suldak followed behind Samira, turned his head and said to Haynes Swordsman: "Of course, although we are willing to take risks, it does not mean that we have to bite the bullet and die. Under the protection of those knights, this group of nobles and merchants can go further."

  Swordsman Haynes followed everyone and climbed out of the vent.

Entering that library, he was stunned to see the tall bookshelves and the neatly arranged books on the bookshelves. He did not expect such a place among the ruins. He raised his head and saw the bright lights on the ceiling. The moonstone, like the stars, swallowed lightly. The price of moonstone, a non-renewable mine resource, is definitely not cheap in the Green Empire. Who would have thought that the roof of this library is actually embedded with moonstones.

He looked up and turned around in the middle of the room, feeling dizzy for a while, and quickly closed his eyes not to look at those moonstones, and then he felt better. He said: "Almost all the ruins outside have turned into sand. With such good preservation, can these magic parchment books really last for thousands of years?"

"Perhaps there is a magic circle of this kind in the library, which can prevent books from decaying due to the passage of time." Suldak has also thought about these problems before. It is the magician Celia Cooper hidden in the magic notebook Secretly telling him a possibility, he continued: "Not only the books here, but also the bookshelves, tables and chairs in the library, have not changed in any way due to the passage of time."

   "You mean the entire library is engraved with that kind of magic circle?" Swordsman Haynes took a breath of air.

  Suldak didn't know so much, and time was running out, so he didn't continue the discussion.

Samira pushed open the carved door of the room, made some slight movements, and led back the three **** dogs patrolling in the corridor. With the cooperation of the knights, these **** dogs were easily silenced. The sound of killing.

Afterwards, the body of the Hellhound was hidden in this room. Standing at the door, Suldak glanced at the empty corridor outside, shook his head at the team and said, "Let's go, let's meet that person." The Black Mage..."

There is a wall lamp with soft light every ten meters in the corridor, and there are destined to be two brightly colored oil paintings between every two wall lamps, and the wall lamps on the opposite side of the corridor happen to be staggered. Each oil painting has special lighting. In addition to drawing some sky battles and dragon slaying battles, there are many scenes depicting the prosperity of the Hex era. Those ghost monkeys dressed like dogs stand On the giant airship, standing on the pedestal behind the giant magic gun, sitting on the shoulders of the magic puppet...

  They manipulated a metal giant several hundred meters high to fight the dragon in the wilderness, and the sky was full of giant magic airships.

Unexpectedly, the original Hex era was actually stronger than the heyday of the Grimm Empire. The magic note in Suldak’s arms kept sending out some reminders, asking him to take some of these oil paintings away. This kind of Hex era Oil paintings have been highly sought after at auctions in the Bena department, and prices remain high.

Although Suldak was anxious to find the black magician, it didn't affect him to take the oil paintings from the corridor, because he knew that Suldak had a magic pocket with a large space, and Andrew and Samira almost specially selected them. Those large-scale oil paintings, walking all the way, the oil paintings in the corridor of the library were almost plundered by two people.

   The eyelids of the knights and Haynes swordsmen trembling when they saw it, but unfortunately they didn't have magic pockets, so they couldn't take these oil paintings with them.

But at the end of the corridor, on the left and right sides of the round arched gate, there is a circular high platform, and there are two relief sculptures of goblin warriors standing there. Although they are stone sculptures, the weapons in their hands emit a cold light. , although the top is covered with dust, but the texture of the metal can still be seen on it, and besides the two scimitars, the two goblin warriors are also carrying round shields.

Several knights were overjoyed when they saw the weapons. After confirming that there was no danger in the corridor, they removed the weapons and shields from the hands of the two statues. However, the weapons that looked long and heavy in the hands of the goblins looked like A long dagger, and the two shields don't need to be much bigger than the armguards.

  Following the prompt of magician Celia Cooper, Suldak walked in the back, untied the musket hanging from the statue's waist, and put it into the magic pocket.

This library is far bigger than Suldak imagined, it feels like a football field, the combat team has dealt with several waves of Hellhound patrols along the way, and finally arrived under the leadership of Aphrodite. On a wide corridor, a group of people hid at the corner, and there were only two giant **** dogs at the door.

  According to Aphrodite's description, in addition to a team of giant hellhound guards beside the black mage, there are two succubi. Those two succubi were the most powerful among the group of succubus who entered the Maca plane, and they did not see the succubus.

The team rushed straight up, and Suldak and Andrew rushed to the front. Now they are familiar with the fighting methods of these giant **** dogs. Suppressed by the power of the law, the power is greatly restricted. They are not staring at the halo of power at all. There are opponents of Suldak and Andrew who have the protection of the "Blessed Body".

Suldak wanted to make a quick decision, and at the risk of being injured, at the moment when the giant hellhound pounced on him, he hit the forehead of the giant hellhound with the holy light torch in his hand. Unexpectedly, under the holy flame, **** The vicious dog let out a mournful cry, and the holy light torch, which mustered all its strength, smashed the skull of the giant **** dog in an instant.

A group of people rushed directly into the library room, but the room was actually empty, the books on the bookshelves in the room were messed up, and the basically thick magician was spread out on a reading table, with a magnifying glass next to it And the magic notes, it looks like someone is translating this book word for word, and those magic notes are only half written and then thrown away in a hurry.

  A set of magic experimental vessels is still placed on a laboratory table, and there is a black magic crucible next to it. The flame of the fire magic scroll under the crucible has not been extinguished, and the green concoction inside is constantly bubbling with disgusting bubbles.

There is a very exquisite magic model on this test bench. The model has a very delicate hexagram-shaped base, engraved with very complicated magic patterns, and the four corners are actually inlaid with six magic crystals very extravagantly. , a ring-shaped model hangs on the base, this metal ring presents an oval shape, and the golden surface is covered with runic words representing the meaning of magic.

  A few faint magic lines connect the palm-sized ring from the chassis, and black mist keeps surging in the ring.

   "What is this?" Suldak secretly asked Celia Cooper in his arms.

  Celia Cooper was silent for a while before saying: "This is the model of the Devil's Gate..."

  Suldak didn't think too much about it, and said, "He is really here to study how to strengthen the passage to hell. Can I take this model with me?"

"... Yes, but you have to close the magic circle first, just remove the six magic spar on the base, but be careful when taking the magic spar, once there is a magic abnormality, there may be a space crack." Celia Cooper spoke to Suldak in a small voice that only the two of them could hear, followed by another sigh: "...he finally got ahead of me."

  Suldak was only focused on dismantling the demon gate model, and didn't hear what Celia Cooper was saying in the last sentence.

   There was no one in the room, so the two knights at the door dragged the corpses of two giant hellhounds into the room.

   "What should we do?" Andrew led a few knights to search around the room, but found no dark room.

Suldak looked at the corpses of the two giant hellhounds lying on the ground, and thought that even if he was in ambush in the room, the hellhounds at the door had already been killed, and the black magician would definitely find this place when he came back abnormal.

Now that he has found the model of the gate of hell, as well as a few books in goblin script and magic notes on the table, he can only hope to find some clues in the magic notes, so he said decisively without any hesitation: "Come on, let's go!" Get out of here!"
