Chapter 10 Escape (Part 2)(1/2)
Feeling surrounded by a large group of creatures, Moya immediately responded.
The elf bow hanging on the back was removed as fast as possible, and the action of pulling the strings and pressing the arrow was completed in one go. The magic arrow burning with flames not only intimidated the approaching creatures, but also showed the entire environment in front of the three people at a glance.
They were surrounded by neither underground creatures nor undeads walking around because of the spells of the Dead Mage, but hundreds of dwarves holding battle axes.
"Humans? What a rare guest."
The red-bearded dwarf who was the most advanced, put down the axe he had originally held high in his hand, and he thought it was an immortal soul who was following him again.
"Who are you?" Unlike his slackness, another dwarf in golden armor shouted loudly, and took his weapon and led the rest of the dwarfs to approach again.
"Stop, if you lean over again, I'm not polite."
Roland's uninjured left hand was pressed on the scabbard, ready to pull out the Nether Sword, which will be stained with blood every time it is unsheathed, and the Soul-Enjoyed.
"What else is there? Isn't it just to go to Shadas's nest to hunt for treasure? Are you too worried, Depp, they are just a few children, where is there any danger?" The red-bearded dwarf with thick brains relaxed his guard after discovering that Moya and others were all women.
"I really don't understand how you escaped from the attacks of the abominable wizards, Kez, haven't you discovered that they are not ordinary humans?"
Glazed at his disregarded brother. If the current situation was not suitable, the dwarf leader Depp really wanted to use the battle axe in his hand to knock Kerz's head. What was his mind pretending? Didn't he see that the three humans who appeared in the last hiding place, except for the last one, were they all very human?
"Wait... are you the dwarf tribe guarding this bridge? I was hired by Rooney to save you."
Moya was relieved to find that the enemy was a dwarf. He quickly explained his identity and took out the dwarf badge that Rooney had given her to her.
"Yes, this is indeed a family badge that Rooney doesn't show anyone easily."
He took the golden card thrown by Moya with suspicion. Depp carefully observed and confirmed that the three suspicious humans in front of him were not enemies sent by the necromancer.
"You three are the only ones who want to save us from the necromancer? Rooney is too naive."
Although I am very happy to have rescuers, if only three people are alone, it is unlikely that they will escape.
Depp's mood also quickly recovered from depression.
"No, it's one. Rooney only hired me to investigate the situation here. Both of them met halfway."
"What?" The dwarf who had just put down his weapon raised his axe again.
"Don't worry, they are definitely not your enemies. This is my friend, who was chased by the undead wizard and demons, so he hid in your cave. As for this person... she fell in love with the treasure of the Red Dragon, but she also implicated us."
Seeing that the dwarf leader was too nervous, Moya had to reinterpret the identity of his companion around him, so as not to lose his composure and chop off the poor thief.
"Are you sure they really have nothing to do with the undead's swearing?"
"Of course, I guarantee it with my personality." He raised his hand and made a sworn statement. Moya repeatedly stated that the two companions were definitely not subordinates of the Necromancer; "Look at my companion, if I was injured like this by the female demon, would they still be their companions? And the poor Arisha, she was only greedy, and the others... were almost half-tone. The Necromancer would never let such people be subordinates. If things were not done, they would give their lives first."
After seeing Moya's swearing and Roland's right arm's wounds that were visible to the bones, and the female thief who was already scared to be soft, the honest dwarf leader believed her words.
"So that's the case... You're just here to investigate the situation. That doesn't that mean that I only sent out to ask for help..." Thinking of the tribe members who had unfortunately died, Depp could hardly suppress his hatred for the necromancer; "You have fought with the necromancer? Are there any of our tribe members above?" The only hope now is that there are survivors among the compatriots who stayed in the cave above to fight against the enemy.
"The possibility is extremely small. When I arrived, all the dwarf soldiers in the hall had been killed, and they all became Pedine's manipulated puppets."
This is the fact. When Moya and the Night Elf arrived, the dwarfs had all been killed by the Dead Mage. At this point, she felt that there was no need to hide it, so she told the truth.
"Pedine?" Hearing a strange name, Depp was convinced that it must be the name of one of the two enemies.
"Pedine Oup, the Deadly Soul Master of Death Leader. Although the demons who are with him do not know their identity, they are definitely a dark priest. I have met the Deadly Soul Master once in the Black Forest, so I don't know what he is here for. Rooney just sent me to check what happened to the Dwarf Cave and why did he lose contact with Benna City." The Deadly Soul Master's purpose is also Moya's urgent desire to know. Will an ordinary dwarf cave attract Pedine's personal visit?
According to Roland herself, she was also teleported here after being hit by Lafamon, and she didn't know the reason.
Perhaps only by asking the digger of the cave, the dwarf, will there be a result.
However, according to Moya's own guess, it was probably because of the magic power emitted by the dragon crystal that the deceased mage and the female demon clan would come here. She also felt a strange feeling when she entered the cave.
In the deeper underground, there is a lot of magic power. Now, in addition to the dragon crystal, Taiban should blame the red dragon Shadas.
In the earth world, except for the magical artifact, there is no more individual magic than an ancient dragon of the Dragon King level.
Thinking of the possibility of wandering in the dwarf cave, the Dead Mage and the Demon Clan, Moya came up with another idea.
I believe that except for thieves, there is nothing more furious than discovering a soul wizard and a demon sect that breaks into the dragon tomb they are guarding.
"It's really a good way to kill two birds with one stone..."
"What?" Hearing the female archer talking to herself, Depp was not sure if he had really heard the word "good way"?
"The choice of the nest here is a blessing for you dwarves."
"What does this mean?" Without understanding Moya's words, the dwarf leader asked again without shame.
"Generally speaking, in order to prevent their treasures from being stolen, the dragon tribes will choose to build nests in relatively remote places. Why did the Red Dragon Shadas choose the nest in a cave that was already dug by dwarves?"
"Because this is the dragon tomb."
"Yes, since the Dragon Tomb can attract thieves, why can't the Necromancer be attracted to you?"
"You mean... the necromancer is attracted to Long Jing..."
"It must be that the magic power emitted by the large number of dragon crystals in the dragon tomb attracted the attention of the undead mage, so he attacked your village. Since he came for the Dragon Crystal, why don't we let the Dragon Crystal guardians teach these two guys a lesson. Even if we can't take revenge with ourselves, it's better than letting them leave?" In order to ensure that all the remaining dwarves would follow him back to Benna City, Moya could only persuade them in this way.
“…”
"Indeed, what you said makes a lot of sense." The dwarf leader thought about it and couldn't find a reason to refute.
They had been out of food for several days, and even if they were determined, they were unable to continue fighting. Moreover, the necromancer would use spells to manipulate corpses to make him chop the battle axe at the tribe members who had lived with him. Depp knew that he could not do it, and others could not do it either.
"Let's retreat back to Benna City like this. Even if they are allowed to run away this time, you can still seek revenge on him, right? There is no need to send your life to revenge for revenge without victory. Only by living can you take revenge." Seeing Depp's depressed face, Moya knew that her persuasion had worked.
The dwarf also understood this simple truth and should not seek revenge on Pedine immediately.
"Have you ever had a deep revenge that must be avenged?" The look and voice were not something that ordinary people could have. This girl holding a dark elf bow must have had a sad past, so she could understand his current mood.
Depp found the same mood as himself through Moya's persuasion, which was hatred.
"Yeah... I have to take revenge, indeed." Moya's expression slightly caught by the words of the dwarf leader, and then returned to normal. "My enemy is very afraid of my revenge now, so I said don't worry. Although waiting for revenge is a painful thing, your enemy is also not feeling well. He will also be afraid and worried while waiting for your revenge. Well, there is no need to talk about these things again, let's go out first."
“Walk from here and you can reach the ground.”
Leading Moya and Roland, Arisha, who was finally calming down, said Depp pointed to a cliff that was almost vertical and difficult to climb.
From here you can go back to the ground?
The distance has been shortened a lot, but it is too difficult.
Looking up at the cliff that was almost impossible for her, Moya subconsciously rejected the road.
The thief Arisha or Roland may be able to go up, but I can't.
If I didn't use flying spells, it would be impossible for me to climb so high.
"Although the other road is simpler, it leads to the Dwarf Hall. If you walk here, you may encounter the Dead Mage." With a backhand, he pointed to a gravel path behind him, and Depp introduced the remaining road that he could leave.
"Just go this one."
"But..." Depp was about to object, but Moya explained her reason for choosing this path.
"According to my calculations, Pedine should not continue to stay in the Dwarf Hall. He has only two roads to walk. One, continue to track us, so that he will definitely pass through the Dragon Tomb. Then he can use Shadas's hand to remove him. Two, if he does not continue to walk down, he must have returned to the dwarf village on the ground. After all, the Red Dragon discovered our existence first, and maybe he had already searched around the cave above. If Pedine discovered Shadas, he would evacuate immediately if he had a little mind. So we don't have to worry about the undead mage, but we should pay attention to the Red Dragon Shadas. If he was discovered, no one would escape from the cave."
Moya was not worried about meeting the Dead Soul Mage. There were thirty Abyss Knights in the hall. No matter how powerful Pedine was, he would never be able to deal with so many elves knights at the same time.
Of course, she could not tell the dwarf about the night elves in the hall.
Although they also live underground and dig underground tunnels, they are not underground dwarves in Rock City after all, and they have no business dealings with the night elves. The Yalu dwarves in the Light Clan may even fight with Jie An and the others, so it is better not to mention them.
What Moya most hopes is to get out of this underground cave that has trapped her all day long.
"Okay, let's choose this road." Waving his hand to signal the other tribes to follow, the dwarf leader led everyone to the road leading to the dwarf hall.
***************************************
After several white and soft light flashed continuously, Rooney handed him a black wooden stick to Moya who had been waiting aside for a long time.
"Is the seal of the Church of Light all untied?"
He watched in surprise as the dwarf forging master used the fragment of the Sun-Stone that he had asked for from Depp, and just placed it on the magic bow, and all the strange seals that puzzled her were uncovered.
"Actually, this seal is very simple." Rooney looked disappointed. "I thought it would be a very complex seal. After careful study, I found that it was a very simple 'Sun Seal Method'. It was just to use the power of light in the Sun Yang Stone to temporarily seal the magic power of the bow. This bow was placed in the Great Hall. I believe that those who were the first seal thought it was foolproof and would only make a simple seal."
"Yes, you're not going to be troublesome. What about me? Do you think there is a perfect place in my body?" Moya showed obvious trauma on her left arm. Although she had recovered and bandaged by the city's treatment stone, the wound had stopped bleeding, but she still felt a stinging pain.
"Sorry, I didn't receive a message for help, and I didn't expect there would be a necromancer. If this is the case, how about I give you another magic arrow worth 10,000? The magic arrow produced by our store cannot be compared to other places." The old dwarf tactfully used the magic arrow with another 10,000 gold as a reward for Moya's injury during this trip.
"This is what I should have." Unceremoniously received additional reward from Rooney, Moya then looked at the magic bow with a slightly changed appearance.
Not only does the color change from yellow to black, but the shape has also changed a lot.
If it turns out to be just a strange twisted wooden stick, it can now be called a weird stick.
The two ends of the wooden branches are twisted together in a spiral shape, and a striking and large colorless crystal appears in the center of the archery.
"The Eye of Lutis..." This is the current form of the magic bow.
I have heard of it that the magical crystal that can increase the magic power and accuracy of the holder is embedded on the magic bow, which turns out to be sealed. Moya almost thought that it was just a rumor, but he didn't expect it to exist.
I will name this crystal by the name of the hunting goddess, and I guess there are other special functions.
"Okay, as agreed, I will return the bow to you. Little girl, you haven't told me your name yet. You are the great benefactor of my Yalu clan." Rooney was grateful to the young archer who brought the remaining dwarves away from the Claws of the Necromancer, no matter what her origin was.
"Croatia-Shingi-Saroman."
Moya said the pseudonym she is using now. She will not disclose her real name.
"A very old surname..." Rooney, who already understood the meaning of this surname, did not continue to ask; "I wish you can find what you want on the road ahead."
To be continued...
