The speed of the light element was unexpected. Uriel chased for a long time before he saw the adventurer's back.
"York! Meme!"
"What are you dawdling about?" the adventurer turned around and asked. He was almost at the bottom of the stairs. "I have an idea."
"Idea?" If it's similar to going to Bonfire Town or even Morris Snow Mountain to find someone single-handedly, let's not talk about it.
Fortunately, York has not forgotten his lesson. On the contrary, the method he proposed is very feasible: "Since Kamaria has replaced Winnie Watts, then Boss Calder must be in the city. Let's go find him, and mine." Companions."
"Are you sure they will find a solution instead of just causing them trouble?"
Lucia's Theta blinked. "Boss Calder is a great adventurer. He has seen a lot. There are few people in the entire Clover Territory who can compare with him."
"It's inside the Yotsuba collar"
After leaving the palace, Sauron began to write in every possible way. "What the wise Mr. Gessen can't do, he certainly doesn't know about it either."
You are too smart, the apprentice ignored it. He rushed down the stairs while making suggestions: "The mercenaries can indeed help, but it will take some time to find them. We must take Meimi out of the city as soon as possible."
The mercenary stopped talking.
"We'd better go to the city gate first." Uriel considered the current situation and motioned to the mercenaries and Memie to run. "Sauron, wise Mr. Gessen, please search carefully for me - what knowledge does your non-existent mind have to leave the mysterious place?"
"Hey! 』
"Will the rectangular ladder on the edge of the city be stable?" the adventurer asked. "I know there is a secret shuttle station in Winnivas. If we get there before Kamaria replaces it, maybe we can find the exit."
The shuttle station is the coordinate point of the ladder - for a creature of Knox, this is truly basic common sense. Even mortals can speak clearly about this. Maybe some people don’t know about trains, but they definitely don’t know about ladders.
Generally speaking, the ladder is a magic used for long-distance movement. It is faster than a horse-drawn carriage and has a wider range than a bus. The only drawback is that setting it up requires a certain environment, and starting it requires a lot of magic power. The seven fulcrums of the mysterious realm have restricted the positioning of the Ladder Magic. It is actually a troublesome and cumbersome matter to pass them.
The only well-known ladder shuttle station in the Eastman Kingdom is the "Crokanji Station" in Iron Claw City. I heard that most of the Sword Legion was guarding there, and the shuttle station was still a one-way door that could only go out but not in.
There is even a square staircase in Venevoise?
Gaia on top, Uriel never expected that the adventurer would actually hide such a surprise. He tried to get confirmation from the ring: "Is this going to work?"
"It depends on luck," Sauron told him. The law is still full of unstable factors.
"What's more, the Staircase is in Venevoise. If it is replaced by a projection, it will be all over. Secret coordinates are generally difficult to maintain effectiveness in mystery.』
A chance is enough. Uriel did not expect that it would be as smooth as entering the secret realm. At this time, his mind suddenly changed, Black Moon River! Maybe we could leave along the river? He couldn't help but look down the stairs of the castle. Black Moon Lake was not far from the palace. It doesn't get any closer than this.
Unfortunately, The Ring dismissed this suggestion. Its tone practically screamed: 'Don't do it, you mysterious idiot! Kamaria is no better than before, and approaching it now is to risk death. Broken Moon regards it as a hub of communication with the outside world - otherwise, why do you think those goblins want to leave like crazy? ! 』
The apprentice was speechless for a moment. Where can I get this knowledge? Even Joey promised to teach me how to use a sword when this was over.
"So we either have to rush to the shuttle, or we have to rely on you?"
"It certainly seems so. So show some respect, apprentice.』
Uriel no longer regarded Sauron's tone as a source of distress. He knew this guy was just paying lip service. In fact, it doesn't even have a mouth. At such a time-critical moment, I certainly would not read what it said word for word.
"You lead the way, York." He threw Meimi back like a baggage. "I don't care if you leave or not. When you see the shuttle station, just throw this puppy in."
"Why can't I leave?"
If you choose to abandon the Knox mercenary group, you're in trouble. "Don't worry, York. Then we'll go find your leader." Anyway, both Quillen and the Wheel Gang have become dead souls under Joey.
Uriel couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he thought of the dwarves and adventurers who were still looking for them in the snowy mountains. But he didn't find these emotions on York's face at all. Before the incident was over, it seemed that no mood could affect his state. The young adventurer with orange cheeks grinned, "They are so unlucky." He was not worried about his companions at all.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with his idea.
Winnie Watts was replaced by Kamaria, and Broken Moon would not cause trouble to these natives. What we should really worry about are the werewolves living in the city... But the Knox Mercenary Group is not as powerful as the Holy Knights of the Council, and it is no problem to deal with a group of rabble.
Uriel had seen the mysterious man at the peak of the ring, and Mr. Eze's power opened his eyes. Since Calder and Druid were standing at the same height, even if they were injured, it would be more than enough to take down a few crazy wolves.
"Go around Black Moon Lake" Sauron warned.
They had entered the great hall of the castle, and the final steps were in front of them. Uriel recalled the golden statue he encountered in the illusion. Before climbing to the rooftop, he used Sauron's help to cover up his voice, but now he was not so lucky.
"The broken moon is filling the gap, and the magic power is gathering on the altar." The apprentice couldn't help but wonder, will the armor in the city still move?
The team needs to race against time, and avoiding unnecessary battles will waste time. Uriel was worried about the next road when a series of footsteps came from behind him.
At first, he thought it was decorative armor or a stone statue that had been awakened. It wasn't until the apprentice turned around that he realized that the first two were actually far from being troublesome.
"Paladin?" The mercenary couldn't help but whisper.
A heavily armed knight in shining armor walked out from the end of the corridor. Faint magic ripples spread across the dozen meters away like a scent, and Uriel could feel the holy and fresh power brushing against his face. He is not unfamiliar with it, because most of the oath scrolls contain the same kind of magic.
"I am Lemons Theodore. Head of the Holy Knights of the Glorious Council and chief executive of the Holy Inquisition. In the name of Lucia, please stop and accept the protection of the Holy Knights." The knight untied the hidden figure. Divine magic, declared behind them.
The adventurer said warily: "Why should we listen to you?"
"My companions are searching for the secret realm." The knight answered the question, "If you can cooperate with my work before they arrive, I will be very grateful."
He added: "I believe you will too."
"I don't remember Lucia's followers having their own unique language." York felt that the other party was simply disobedient. Goddess above, even this elemental being is speaking Common Language.
Uriel stopped his sarcasm. When communicating with the mysterious man, he did not seem to lack confidence: "Sir Knight, are you worried that we will leak the news about Kamaria?"
Lemons sighed and tightened his grip on the holy sword Durandal. "The White Envoy once asked the Holy Knights to find your traces." He said, "But now that you have broken into the secret realm, things have become very complicated. I swear to Lucia, I will not hurt you. It is just a matter of involvement. As for the mission to the Council, we must negotiate certain aspects with Croita.”
"You don't understand the situation, sir. We are in a hurry to get out of here." Every second Uriel spent made him more anxious. "It doesn't matter whether I accept your protection or anything else - if you are willing to leave this city with us."
But Lemons refused without even considering the reasons. "The mission given to us by the goddess has not been completed, so I cannot leave."
"Broken Moon wants my friend's life, and we can only save him by leaving here. Use your magic to see that I'm not lying." The apprentice didn't care about Lucia, so he showed his cards directly.
"It's a very important matter, and it needs to be decided by the Bishop." The Paladin frowned, "I have to inform him first."
It was not difficult to communicate with the knight who believed in justice and light. He seemed to believe what his apprentice said, but there was not enough time. Joey was still trying to delay them as much time as possible in the palace, and the replacement of the projection was proceeding at a rapid pace. Uriel said without thinking, "York, take Meimi and go first."
The adventurer's hesitation lasted only half a second. He picked up the little gray wolf and rushed out of the castle gate like a ray of light.
Almost at the same time, the paladin behind him slashed out with a sword. The terrifying wind pressure crushed the railings and handrails, but collided with the transparent barrier in mid-air.
Uriel unfolded the parchment, and golden spells floated on it. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble...but the stakes are high and I need to complete the mission my mentor has given me."
"Are you the White Envoy's apprentice?"
Admitting this is actually not as difficult as you think. Uriel nodded, suddenly feeling relieved. But then he didn't feel relaxed anymore - there was a terrifying aura rising from the paladin leader.
Regardless of the degree of mystery, just in terms of fighting spirit, he would not think that the self-will that has been tempered by the scroll of oath can resist such a determination that is comparable to obsession. The other party immediately changed his relatively friendly attitude, as if he was not facing an apprentice who had just stepped into the mystery, but an enemy that needed to be treated with caution.
Where did I get the courage to stand opposite him? Uriel couldn't help but ask himself. Is it because I didn't intend to actually fight, but was trying my best to delay the fight?
