Legendary stealth!
The eyes of Samuel and Alyssa both jumped.
Although they were completely unfamiliar with this mysterious black-robed man who suddenly appeared, but... they were so close to him that they had no idea of his ability, but they all felt familiar.
This seems to be the legendary stealth skill possessed by one of the Seven Giants of Tanar'ri in its heyday, the solitary soul-stealing demon Etra.
And to have this legendary skill...
This mysterious man in black robes must be a legendary assassin!
"This is Mr. Shadow, the consultant I invited for the northern strategy."
"With regard to those demon-born elves, you can try to cooperate first."
Isaac's voice came from behind their heads.
And the sound fell into my ears...
Both of them, Samuel and Alyssa, felt their hearts move again.
Advisor to the Northern Raiders! !
This not only shows that the Demon Flame King has made clear the direction of Hell Gate Castle's next strategy, but they have not ignored another detail...
Since it was specially invited by the Demon Flame King, this Mr. Shadow not only has sufficient understanding of the Northern Dark Territory, but also shows that... he and the Demon Flame King are old acquaintances?
Of course, when they had this idea, they both stopped thinking at the same time.
The Lord of Demonic Flame is behind him, how could they show up to explore the secrets and even reveal the true origin of the Lord of Demonic Flame?
After carefully putting away this thought, Alissa smiled and nodded to the man in black robe: "Mr. Ying, I am Alissa. I hope that all future cooperation will be happy and smooth."
She knew it, since the teacher asked her to try to cooperate with Mr. Ying...
This should exactly mean that the teacher intends to let her participate in the Northern Strategy!
This "participation" made her a little bit more modest. If not... this should be one of the most important cores of the Northern Strategy!
Of course, whether she can firmly grasp this core position and whether the cooperation between her and Mr. Ying can be smooth and enjoyable will obviously have a lot of determining factors.
"I expect so too."
"Ms. Alissa, Mr. Samuel."
Barrett's slightly dry voice responded calmly and without any tone.
However, although his voice was without any emotion, and his face and eyes were also emotionless, when he walked into the main hall of the Flame Castle, he was actually a little surprised.
Before that, Isaac had already revealed to him the identities of the two most trusted confidants here, so he could directly call out their names.
However, even with this prophet, the extraordinary beauty and charm of Al-Almo at the moment he turned around still made the old killer feel more surprised.
Even with his experience, after so many years, all the ladies he has met can only compare with this one in terms of beauty and charm... "only a handful" is probably a bit exaggerated!
And such beauty appeared under Isaac's command, and she was still a close confidant...
"When did he become interested in these things?"
But if you think about it more carefully, it doesn't seem surprising that the dragon has this preference.
Maybe he is... of age?
Of course, although I was surprised and guessing, the city of the legendary assassin would naturally not show any abnormality.
Barrett greeted the Al-Al Demon calmly, and also ignored the Fly Demon.
"Ying, things in the north need to be put on hold for the time being."
"You first cooperate with Alyssa to resolve some matters here in the fortress. Take this opportunity to get acquainted with each other."
Isaac's voice explained a little more to Barrett.
After all, before that, he was just planning to let Barrett get to know them, and he had not yet decided to take action against those demon elves.
However, since those demon elves don’t know how to praise...
Then simply take this opportunity to let them get familiar with each other's styles and see if they can work together.
"How can you not obey His Majesty's orders?"
Barrett would not refuse, and the matter in the Northern Dark Region was not supposed to happen in three and a half months, or even in a year or two.
"Samer, you should coordinate your forces from the center. Once this side starts, in addition to leaving all the demon elves behind, you also need to cooperate with Thalia and Marina to completely capture the Port of Aven!"
Isaac gave the last command to the fly demon.
Needless to say, the fly demon obeyed his orders.
Soon, after arranging all the corresponding matters, Isaac no longer left the three of them alone.
Then all three of them retired and left.
"The creation of the demiplane base needs to be slowed down a little."
To create the demiplane, he planned to create it purely with high-level legendary spells, and at most invest a certain amount of resources to make it constant and stable.
Precisely because of this, to perform this spell, the magical energy transformed by the Tianshu Array is absolutely vast and majestic, and even the sealing barrier of Hell Gate Castle cannot block or cover it.
I really want him to try it now...
I'm afraid those demon elves will retreat again even if they have other plans.
It's not just them. Some of the attention he attracted by spreading the news about "demon elves" and "high-energy core" may also shrink.
Among them...especially those visitors from Myth Drannor!
He really wanted to see how those Myth Drannor demons planned to intervene on his side?
More importantly, through this, Zheng Ye can test again whether there is "the one" he suspected behind those evil spirits!
There was some twinkling color in Isaac's eyes.
The existence of such a person and the absence of such a person were of extraordinary significance to him.
This must be related to his overall strategic plan for the elves.
He wished he had such a person.
After all, with this person, the trouble for the elves is that they are too small.
And if there really is...
With this "deep diving" ability that lasts far longer than ten thousand years, I am afraid that only in this situation, because of the "Great Retreat" and the elves are weakening as never before, and with unintentional calculations, is it possible to observe " There is a possibility that he may have signs!
"If 'he' exists, his purpose should only be for the meaning of the existence of the 'demon elf' itself."
"That is to say, whether it is Varilmore or Thalia, whoever is in charge of the Frosin family, there is no difference to him."
"If you take this opportunity..."
After a while of pondering, Isaac slowly restrained what he was thinking.
And since it is not suitable for the creation of demiplanes for the time being...
"The matter of Black Hand's Tomb has been solved first."
The Black Hand Tomb is not only related to the one hidden deep in the endless cave, but also has a certain connection with Silver Moon City. From this, even for him, it has certain exploration significance.
"Again...over to the Black Prison!"
Black Hell, before Hellgate Castle was formed, was the most mysterious and strict magical prison in Cape Esko.
Now, many powerful people including Kenil Walker and Ms. Blue Bear, as well as the purple-robed man of the Dragon Witch Cult are being imprisoned. In addition to some reports from Alisa, it is suspected that the demon elves are interested in those Bian also has some special concerns...
Isaac had already made plans to observe and research there personally.
By the way, he also had plans to have some contact with Walker and the man in purple.
How to use the two Walkers, how to "cooperate" with the purple-robed man, and then the Sambia Dragon Witch Cult, all have their own meanings.
After Isaac pondered for a while, his figure slowly disappeared into the hall.
…
Less than half a day.
After not only sealing off some of the castle's treasure troves to see if they were complete, but also going in personally to check them one by one.
From the Fire Castle, Isaac quickly returned to the Lich Tomb.
Before that, he had already informed the lich through "SMS".
Wait for his figure to appear here.
Everything related has been prepared. Wilder, the little devil, and a series of dragon-veined warlocks from the "Dragon Worship Cult" are all waiting.
"Your Majesty, please look here."
"This is my calculation of the most likely location of the 'Black Hand Tomb'."
"These days, I have sent a large number of servants to continue digging there from this position."
What Wilder presented was a layered map based on the underground structure of Hell Gate Castle.
From the map, the distribution of different colors at those locations, and his description of the area roughly covered by the seal barrier of Hell Gate Castle...
After Isaac glanced at it, he only pondered for a moment, and he understood the reason why he had been hiding here for hundreds of years but had never been able to truly explore the inside of the "Black Hand Tomb".
Judging from the topographic map, the "Black Hand Tomb" seems to be within the seal barrier, sandwiched in the depth area between the third and fourth floors, but it is offset from the location of the fortress on these two floors.
And within the "sealing barrier"...
This not only means that even if there may have been a connection within the "Phase Gate" in the "Black Hand Tomb", it is now completely cut off, and the only way to do it is to dig all the way through.
And if you want to excavate on a large scale...
This also means that once the news of excavation becomes louder, not to mention ordinary Tanar'ri, let alone the Flagellation Legion, those Tanar'ri giants, and even the former Greensack, may look directly at it.
For the former Wilder, he naturally had to be more cautious.
That is to say, the situation is different now. After surrendering to Isaac, with the cooperation of the Fly Demon and without the interference of Tanar'ri and the Flagellant Legion, he can quickly and accurately locate and explore. At the location of the "Black Hand Crypt".
From this map, Isaac could make a judgment about Wilder's past "incompetence" at a glance.
"Lead the way, we'll go straight there."
He put away the terrain map and glanced at the lich.
In the Lich's eyes, the flickering soul flames exuded some rare excitement: "Your Majesty, please follow me."
He has been studying the "Black Hand Tomb" for many years.
This time, with this hand, it is finally possible to truly open it...
Even without this person's previous promise, after opening the Black Hand's tomb, he would back up the relevant information.
It is absolutely impossible for Wilder to let all his years of research efforts be abandoned like this.
Then, a group of people, including Wilder's undead servants, first passed through a secret phase door and appeared in a deep dark cave outside the sealing barrier.
Soon they entered the sealing barrier area again.
After a while, it became clear that there were still some Tanarok patrolling the surroundings. A group of undead creatures were tirelessly digging caves at a downward angle.
Upon seeing their arrival, especially the Balor Fire Demon whose flames were rising from time to time...
The Tanaroks were shocked at first, and they quickly greeted him loudly.
"You, pass my order to dispatch two hundred-man troops from the fortress to cooperate with the excavation."
Isaac waved them to get up and ordered one of them to return to the fortress immediately to deliver the order.
Although the undead never know tiredness, but...how can Tanarok soldiers like him be more efficient?
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The demon orc who was pointed out by him immediately accepted the order excitedly, and immediately flew deeper into the dark cave.
Isaac then looked around again.
Generally speaking, the surrounding environment is consistent with the Lich's terrain map.
And from the description of the general position and depth of the topographic map...
"How long will it take to complete the excavation work here?"
Isaac's eyes did not turn around and he continued to observe, but his voice had already drifted into the Lich's ears.
"If I only use my servants, it might take three to five days before we can dig through it."
"However, if I can have the help of the whipping legion and the 'fossils into mud' spell that I have prepared..."
Wilder thought for a moment and replied slowly: "If the deviation in the direction I calculated is not too big, we should be able to see the result within a day or two."
His "one or two days" was based on the fact that today and after the night's meditation, he could perform two rounds of "fossils into clay".
Especially in the second round, with the King of Demon Flame around, he could rest assured that he could even use "Spell Upgrade" to prepare all higher spell slots for "Fossils to Mud".
In this way, his servants and those Tanarok only need to drag away these "sands" directly.
Of course...he didn't forget another thing.
"However, it is not difficult to dig through it, but for so many years, it has never been noticed by anyone. Even the location, even the excavation of deep dark caves seems to automatically avoid it..."
"I suspect that its prohibition with protective and hidden effects should still exist."
"And since this restriction still exists... maybe there are still some 'guards' there!"
Wilder emphasized the word "guard" a little bit.
And after hundreds of years, the "guards" that may still exist... must be either constructs or undead!
Considering that the predecessor of "Black Hand Tomb" is the secret base of "Dark Hand Brotherhood", and "Dark Hand Brotherhood" is related to the Destiny Lich in the Endless Cave.
The Lich of Destiny, in the legend of the ancient Magic Kingdom, was another master of manipulating the undead...
"It's probably the undead!"
Isaac could roughly tell what it would be that Wilder was also afraid of.
However, this naturally does not restrain him.
(The new year is coming soon, I wish everyone a happy New Year!)
