Lord of Hyranza

It's a pity that this hellhound didn't have the precious magic-weave spirit bone on it. Andrew swiftly chopped off the hellhound's head. The ogre squatting aside hesitated a bit. He had been eating marching rations for the past two days. Seeing such a big hell dog, even though I know that eating too much meat on the hell dog will make my stomach hurt, I still feel reluctant to part with it.

Suldak walked up to the ogre, stretched out his hand and patted the ogre's broad shoulder, and said to him: "This food is not delicious. When we complete the task this time, I promise you, it will be in Vojmara The city will buy you a whole cow and roast it. You may have never eaten that kind of whole cow. There will be a sheep wrapped in its belly, and a fat chicken will be wrapped in the sheep’s belly. The meat will be There is nothing tastier than marinating with spices and salt for a day and a night beforehand."

"Okay, Suldak, I know you will definitely take me to eat that delicious food, right!" the ogre asked expectantly, swallowing his saliva.

"Of course, what I promised will be done." Suldak said to the ogre, patting his chest.

"I really can't wait! How long are we going to stay in this ghostly place?" The ogre complained with a depressing look on his face now that he was about to return.

Samira walked in the front. She followed the hellhound's path and groped into the cave.

"When we find out the secret here, we will find a way to get out of here!" Suldak said to the ogre Gretem.

Walking along the route of the hellhounds for nearly a kilometer, there was a faint howl in the distance, and it was unknown how many hellhounds were in front, but the team did not stop because of this. The combat team walked to a stone gate nearly ten meters high. Through the "eye of reality" Suldak saw that the stone gate was carved with simple patterns, but he couldn't understand the specific meaning of the patterns on it. It looked like a book from a distance. Huge spellbook.

The door was half open, and the voice of the hellhound came from inside the door.

Suldak could vaguely see the precise gear mechanism hidden in the shaft of the Shimen door. He knew that the Grimm Empire did not have such exquisite mechanical craftsmanship.

The combat team passed through the huge stone gate, only to feel a gust of cool wind blowing through the stone gate, and at the same time, a faint light came from inside the stone gate.

Suldak stood at the entrance of the stone gate, and under his feet was a huge cave that could accommodate nearly an entire city. On the top of the cave, there were some dim moonstones like stars in the sky. This was the source of all the light in this underground ruins. , there is an ancient city ruins hidden in the cave, although most of the buildings are dilapidated to a pile of gravel and gravel, but among these gravel and gravel, there are still some standing stone buildings, It's just that most of the buildings lack full roofs.

At this time, he carefully and carefully looked at the position of the team.

He found that the team and his team came to a long stone platform, where they could almost look down on the vast arched space in front of them, and the stone platform where the team was on looked like a huge window sill, perhaps only Only giants can build such a tall building, and this ten-meter-high stone gate does not look like a stone gate at all. This stone gate is opened in mid-air, and there are no steps leading to the bottom on both sides. It looks more like a huge space. ventilation windows.

Apparently, Samira and Andrew didn't know that there was such a large ancient ruin hidden here. A group of hellhounds with dark red lava flowed through the ruins under their feet, and a group of ghost monkeys were scattered in front of them. Running away, under the faint light, these huge hell dogs rampage in this building complex, and there will always be some ghost monkeys that run slowly and fall under the sharp claws of the hell dogs.

Those hellhounds would leave the hunting team after biting a lively ghost monkey, and walk along a wide road to the depths of the ruins with their prey in their mouths.

This ruins is much larger than the small town of Meijin, almost catching up with the city of Wojmara in scale, and although the city is so dilapidated that there are only ruins left, the well-ordered streets and the buildings that have turned into gravel say The structure it has is incomparable to the city of Wojmara today.

"A group of underground giants once lived on the Maca plane?" Suldak asked the half-elf archer in a low voice.

Although Samira, a half-elf archer, was once the guide of Wojmara City, she didn't know much about the history of the Maca plane, so she couldn't answer Suldak's question for a while.

She set her eyes on Andrew, and Andrew explained in the lowest voice: "I'm just an aborigine of the Nanai tribe, and the civilization inherited by our tribe is not as long as you think..."

Suldak squatted on the stone platform, observing the underground ruins below.

This stone platform is tens of meters high. God knows how that hellhound climbed up, but if the team members want to go down here, they need a strong rope. Suldak has a rope in his magic pocket , but when he bought this rope, he only considered the weight of an ordinary knight. Whether this rope can withstand the weight of an ogre is still unknown.

Suldak said to Andrew and Samira: "Those hellhounds have occupied this underground ruins. Maybe the demon gate or hell passage that the command is looking for is here. We have to find a way to sneak in." The head said to the ogre again: "Greetum stays here and guards our last retreat. Don't worry, I will leave enough food for you to ensure that you will not go hungry."

When the ogre heard that there was something to eat, he naturally had no objection.

Andrew said with emotion at this time: "It would be great if there was a secondary invisibility potion like the one in Meijin Town."

Suldak thought of himself and Karl in the pile of scrolls in the magic grocery store in Bena City. At that time, he thought of the battle in Ice Lake Manor. Suldak spent a lot of money, and he really only bought a few scrolls. The secondary invisibility scroll, he said to Andrew: "Wait, it seems that I really brought a few bottles, this secondary invisibility potion is not uncommon in the Grimm Empire..."

As he spoke, he rummaged through the magic pocket for a long time before he found five bottles of lesser invisibility potions from a pile of scrolls.

"Shall we drink it now?" Andrew asked.

Samira quickly stopped Andrew's proposal at this time, she said: "Actually, you can drink it when you are in danger. There is nothing more interesting than disappearing under the eyes of those hell dogs... And no one knows How big is this ruins, how long are we going to wander here!"

Chapter 463 Civilization in the Ruins

The three members of the combat team slid down from the high vent along the rope, and Samira quickly hid behind a broken rock wall. She bent down and stared at a group of hell dogs hundreds of meters away. The vicious dog wandered around here for a while, but didn't realize that the scouting team had sneaked into the ruins.

Suldak stepped on the broken rocks and tiles under his feet, and hid behind a broken stone wall with Samira.

There was a part of the mouth of a clay pot buried under the sand. Seeing the exquisite patterns on the mouth of the bottle, he casually picked it up from the gravel, but his hands were very light. A bottle mouth was broken from the neck of the clay pot, and the body part of the bottle remained in the sand.

There is a sense of age everywhere in the ruins. Most of the mottled stone walls have collapsed. Even those that only stand in the ruins cannot withstand any external force. A light touch may completely prevent the wall from collapsing completely. Lose.

The team of hellhounds walked farther and farther on the street, and finally disappeared at the end of sight.

The light on the top of the cave is very weak. This underground ruins is like the darkest moment at dusk. Only a vague black shadow can be seen a hundred meters away, but the combat team stood at a high place at that time, but they can see it better. farther away.

The buildings in the ruins of this city are all extremely tall. Surdak walked into a well-preserved dwelling. Although the roof had completely collapsed, the basic pattern of the foundation could still be seen clearly. Some broken gravel and pottery shards, Suldak found that these pottery vessels were very delicately made, almost every shard had patterns.

Andrew, an aboriginal warrior of the Nanai nationality, found a stack of silver plates in a room, but these silver plates were only palm-sized, covered with a layer of gray-black hard skin, which was heavy in his hand, and he scraped off the black skin with a dagger, and the You can see the sterling silver inside, even if it is covered with a layer of black leather, you can still see the exquisite patterns printed on these silver plates.

"I hope the archaeologists in Wojmara will like these silver plates." Andrew happily packed the stack of silver plates into his backpack.

Suldak walked to a room that looked like a kitchen. Samira was squatting on the edge of a dilapidated low wall. From a stone platform that looked like a stove, he took a piece of wood that was covered with green rust. The red copper rune board was lifted off, and the dust on it was vigorously dusted off. The smoke and dust filled the air for a while, and Samira was surrounded by thick dust.

The magic circle engraved on the rune board has been damaged beyond recognition, but the engraved magic pattern can still be seen faintly. From the outline inside, one can also see the magic pattern on the scroll of Suldak's Gathering Fire Technique. Lots of similarities.However, the magic pattern on this ancient magic rune board is much more complicated.

"This rune plate should be worth some money." The half-elf archer rubbed the copper rust on it vigorously, wanting to see how damaged the rune plate was.

Suldak was in the corner of the room, looking for a clay pot that looked complete from the gravel. He moved the pot vigorously and found that it was not moving at all. Even more curious, he took out the craftsman's sword and carefully dug up the sand beside the pot.

"Captain, you seem to like these pottery?" Andrew leaned over and helped Suldak dig out a clay pot buried in the fine sand.

Suldak couldn't explain that he had a very unique complex with ceramics in terms of antiques, so he smiled faintly at Andrew.

The clay pot was heavy in the hand, and it was hard to imagine how this clay pot, which looked as big as a canning jar, could be so heavy.Suldak used the horn on the dagger to break open the calcified mud seal on the top of the clay pot, and found that it was half full of golden shells that looked like small shells.

"My God, Captain, you dug up a pot of gold..."

Andrew exclaimed, which immediately attracted Samira who was not far away. The half-elf girl also looked at the half pot of gold with a look of disbelief in her eyes.

Sami stretched out his hand and took out a full gold shell that was only as big as a thumbnail. Looking at the fine patterns on the shell, he exclaimed: "I have never seen this kind of gold shell. The craftsmanship of these patterns is really exquisite. .”

Andrew also said enthusiastically: "The ruins of this city are really full of surprises everywhere. The people who live here don't seem to be giants. These clay pots and silver plates don't seem to be enough to make wine cups for giants. Could it be ancient times? The ruins of the ogre's underground city?"

Suldak and Samira turned their heads to look at Andrew, and Andrew could only shrug his shoulders and say:

"Well, I didn't say..."

These small discoveries in the ruins completely aroused the team's desire to search. After leaving the ruins, the three members of the team crossed a street and quickly searched for a larger ruin, but these ruins looked more dilapidated, and many ruins were There were some traces of later life, and three or four building ruins were found in a row. Except for Sharmila who found a copper candlestick, Suldak and Andrew had nothing to gain.

The initial desire to search and explore gradually calmed down, and the three people found that they had walked into the ruins of the city unknowingly, and there was already a long distance from the edge of the ruins. A team of hellhounds passed by on the main road.

All three of them were covered with man-eating pollen, so the hellhounds' noses couldn't feel their presence at all. These hellhounds seemed to have problems with their eyesight. The darker the place, the less they could see too far, so the battle team With Samira's keen vision, almost all of them avoided the hellhounds searching in the city ruins in advance.

Along the way, they did not see any trace of the ghost monkey.

Some exposed flat strips of rocky ground can be seen, and in front of it is a square covered by ruins.

The building ruins around the square are arranged very neatly. There is also a huge dilapidated ruin in the middle of the square. It looks like this dilapidated ruin is like a tall tower. There are many huge stones scattered around the base, and there are still some exquisite reliefs on many huge stones.

However, judging from the patterns of these reliefs, apart from the elves and winged men, the most appearing images on the reliefs are a group of races smaller than dwarves, which look a bit like those ghost monkeys seen in the jungle, but this race It seems that they have extremely brilliant civilizations, they have their own language and characters, and they seem to have created powerful war beasts, which can actually wage war against the ancient elf dynasty and the winged people of the sky city...

Samira lightly touched a relief with her fingers, and the relief instantly turned into a handful of gravel. The elf girl Samira turned her head to look at Suldak and asked, "What are they? They don't look like humans. ancestors."

"Definitely not." Suldak replied firmly.

Samira said again: "Could it be the ancient dwarf dynasty?"

"It doesn't look like it either!" Suldak shook his head and said.

The biggest sign of a dwarf is a long beard that can be braided, fine wine, a huge furnace, and an underground fire vein, and this is just a dungeon of a large mountainside cave.

"Why should we bother with this..." Andrew said honestly while standing on a huge gear.

He stood on tiptoe and vigorously moved a knight's spear. This knight's spear was fixed in the center of a huge and flat circular wall. The spear was covered with dust, but it could not conceal its exquisite shape. This wall There are three long spears with different lengths and thicknesses on it. The longest one can reach five meters, and the shortest but thickest one is also four meters long.

Andrew failed to remove the spear from the wall, but his great strength made the round stone wall make a dull sound.

"when……"

Dust was flying on the stone wall.

After the dust settled, what appeared in front of Suldak was a clock face with a diameter of more than ten meters. It was clearly divided into twelve areas, and a very strange character was engraved on it. Even if Suldak Ke didn't know it, but he could also guess that the above should be some numbers.

What Andrew wanted to remove was not the knight's spear at all, but the giant hands on the clock face.

Surdak did not expect that this place turned out to be a collapsed clock tower, and after so many years, the clock dials that fell from the clock tower were preserved so completely.

Andrew's face was covered with dust and hung on a pointer, and even with all his strength, he couldn't shake the pointer.

At this moment, Andrew's attention had been diverted from these pointers, and he also found that he could not take these huge pointers away with his own strength. He saw a row of hammers under the dial, and these hammers should be used by the clock tower. For telling the time, the handles of these hammers are more than three meters long. One side of the hammer head is cylindrical and the other is tapered.

Suldak didn't know how many magic metals these rams were mixed with to be stainless for thousands of years. At this time, Andrew had already used all his strength to remove a ram from the metal frame. He laughed and said, "This hammer is probably Gree's Tem would like it, it's much stronger than his big stick!"

"Are you sure you plan to carry this away?" Samira looked at the heavy hammer in Andrew's hand and asked suspiciously.

Andrew mustered all his strength to lift the ram to Suldak, and said with a smile, "I'm going to hand this to the captain, he must have a way to take it away!"

Perhaps the loud noise just now attracted some creatures around. A ghost monkey crawled out of the drainage ditch with a hard armor scale on its head and a blow dart in its mouth. It saw Surdak and his party , and fled into the ditch in fright.

Suldak saw the ferocious face of the ghost monkey. It had short limbs, a disproportionately large head, a mouth full of sharp teeth, a pair of big eyes full of bloodshot eyes, full of greed and cunning. A blow dart looks a little crazy.

While running, the figure was actually somewhat similar to the race on the stone relief. Suldak said with some doubts: "Do you think it is possible that the former owners of this dungeon ruins were these wild monkeys?"

When Andrew heard what Suldak said, he immediately laughed and said, "You mean these uncivilized subspecies of wild monkeys? If I am the owner of this civilization relic, then I am the supreme god of this world."

"Don't talk nonsense..."

Suldak was still somewhat in awe of the gods. He always felt that the sacrificial ceremony was a blessing from a certain god, but these blessings were equivalent to him.

The city is very well planned, the streets are very neat, and the buildings are well arranged. Although only some cornerstones are left in ruins, you can still see the drainage ditches opened on both sides of the road, and some intersections are carved with exquisite patterns. Suldak regretted that he didn't study the general history of the world more deeply when he was in the Knight Academy, but just looked over the history of the Grimm Empire to get a general idea.

From a distance, I saw a three-headed hellhound leading a large group of hellhounds searching in the opposite direction. The three-headed hellhound was like a king, patrolling his own territory, Sulda Of course, the three of Ke didn't want to meet these hell dogs head-on, and the three immediately went deep into the ruins to avoid the group of hell dogs.

The three of them did not go far, but hung far behind these hell dogs, and followed them through half of the ruins of the city. The number of hell dogs here has increased significantly, but the three of them did not find any connection. The gate of evil spirits in the hell world.

The three hellhounds led a group of men into a library-like building, which was almost the only intact building in the ruined city. There were nearly a hundred hellhounds around the library, which could be described as heavily guarded.

Seeing that they could not go deep into it, the three of Suldak carefully withdrew from this area and hid in a ruin.

Andrew guessed: "Could this be another hatching room for the devil's son?"

Suldak shook his head, and said noncommittally: "We withdraw, as long as we bring this information back, the task should be considered complete!"

The combat team bypassed the patrolling hellhounds and planned to return the same way.

Just as she was passing a ruin not too far from the library, Samira, who was in charge of exploring the path, suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her eyes were looking into a circular ruin.

"What's wrong?" Suldak asked in a low voice.

Samira nimbly jumped onto a low wall of ruins, put her hands together on a transparent pointed ear, and listened attentively.

After a while, he said with absolute certainty: "There are shouts over there..."

"Hell dog or ghost monkey?" Suldak asked casually without reacting for a while.

"Grimm Empire!" Samira said.

Suldak stopped in his tracks and said, "Let's go and have a look..."

After walking into the circular ruins, it was discovered that this area was also filled with a large number of hellhounds, and it was also heavily guarded, so the three of them had no way to get close.

Suldak saw a high platform a few hundred meters away, which looked like an altar, so he pointed to it, and the three members of the team immediately moved there. Sure enough, there were not many patrolling hells here. The vicious dog, relying on Samira's keen intuition to avoid the hell dog, the three of them secretly climbed up the tens of meters high altar and looked down at the circular ruins.

This ring-shaped ruin looks like a colosseum, with huge cages lined up in the field, and the shouts came from the cages...

Chapter 464 On the Execution Ground

The light was dim, and it was hard to see clearly what kind of prisoners were held in the cage of the Colosseum.

The three climbed down from the high platform of the altar and hid behind a boulder on the north slope. The field of vision here was very narrow, but they could also see a corner of the Colosseum.

Several hell dogs walked slowly on the street below the altar, lava flows slowly on their backs, exuding a dark red light, and the two hell dogs in the middle are holding ghost monkeys that are constantly twitching and struggling in their mouths , The two ghost monkeys also made a scream of 'squeaky'.

The three members of the team hurriedly hid their bodies behind the boulder, and the surroundings became quiet, only the screams of ghost monkeys could be heard, and the hysterical shouts in the cage of the Colosseum could be vaguely heard.

After the group of hell dogs passed the altar, Andrew sat up straight and let out a suffocated breath. At this time, the Nanai warrior looked at the cages on the Colosseum suspiciously and asked strangely: " Didn’t you say that you never keep any prisoners in battle with the hell demons? Why is there a prison here?”

Suldak thought for a while and said, "Maybe there are prisoners of some other race, maybe they are hiding some ulterior secrets!"

Samira happened to look up at the dome of the cave, and she whispered: "Look down..."

Everyone hurriedly retreated behind the boulder again, a succubus slid over the altar, leaving a black shadow on the dome of the star-studded cave, the succubus fully spread its wings, slid far in the air, and then fought After circling a few times in the air of the animal farm, it landed firmly in front of a cage, with its wings folded behind it, as if there were two black flags behind it.

Suldak was a little curious about the cage in the Colosseum. He lowered his head and thought about it, but he couldn't convince himself to turn around and go back the same way, so he said to Andrew and Samira: "I I want to sneak in and see what's inside."

The native Nanai warriors and half-elf archers began to check their armor and weapons without saying a word, and Suldak said: "This operation is a bit risky, and we may encounter some emergencies. We must have someone stay here." Here, I need someone to bring back the information here."

When Andrew heard what Suldak said, he immediately yelled at Suldak angrily: "Captain, are you going to leave me here and let me stay as a deserter? We Nanai warriors can't do such a thing." If you want to go, go together, if you want to go, go together."

His tone of voice was unusually firm.

Suldak also wanted to persuade Samira, he didn't want all three members of the combat team to take risks.

The skinny half-elf archer was wearing a set of red salamander leather armor. In the cave, she didn't wear the hood on her head. Under the broken hair, there was an extremely delicate face, which was as graceful as an elf. , but a pair of eyes were light red, with a strange beauty.

She usually rarely speaks, because her sweet voice can always destroy the coldness she deliberately maintained. She looked at Suldak and said before he spoke:

"If you want to go, go together. If I bear such infamy again, maybe there will be no place for me in Wojmara City. Many guides think that I always like to leave the adventure group and go back to Wojmara alone. Well, those people in the city don't know that I don't want to die with those adventure groups, but this time I'm going to take a gamble..."
