He looked worried. Uriel didn't dare to ask more questions and had to climb back up. The process is no easier than going down, but it's reassuring. When they saw the night sky again, the apprentice didn't even break a sweat, but the vampires were all in low spirits.
"What?" He finally asked his doubts.
"The passable gap is gone," Rodenworth announced when the last man was back on the hillside. He was the first to climb down to explore the way. "I'm afraid that the previous high tide of the Jinque River raised the water level of the Lake of Bones and flooded the open space behind it. Water poured in along the gap and the passage was discovered. So they sealed it again."
"This is not good" Ring review.
"Is there no other way?" one person asked.
"Of course." Rodenworth said, "I'll go down and cut through the obstacles and open the passage. It will take some time for the dungeon to be filled with water. We just need to move quickly before the guards react-"
"It's not easy. As long as you cut the gap, you can't go back the way you came. The water pressure will wash you out, and there won't be enough air." Uriel pointed out, "It's impossible for me to swim out with the children. "
"Then we have to rush out." Mysterok said. He clenched his fists, and the muscles on his face were as tense as gray rocks on his shoulders.
I'm afraid the best thing to do is to fight out. The apprentice thought. People are bound to die in this process. He thought about finding a way to lose less. Could it be using magic?
There is no doubt that Uriel brought the teachings of Gaia with him. He finally no longer had to rely on the Scroll of Oath to cast every magical spell. This was a huge improvement, but it didn't help the current situation at all. I can fight my way into the castle alone. He couldn't help but laugh at his original idea. He could indeed do this, but there was no way he could guarantee the safety of the hostages... Well, he actually didn't have much confidence in whether he could deal with an entire castle of bats. It was not that Uriel had no experience of one-to-many group battles, but the process of gaining experience and even the results were not something he was willing to recall.
From this point of view, there are only a handful of helpful magic spells. Fortunately, there aren't any. "I can freeze a piece of the lake." Uriel told Rodenworth, "It's the lake near the gap. We just need to open another section of the ice cave to the surface of the ice floe. Is the location very deep?"
The Bloodborn leader regained hope. "Actually, it's about a yard underwater." Even though he was trying to hold back his excitement, Rodenworth couldn't help but wave his fist. "As long as that piece of ice doesn't break when touched -"
"There is no ice harder than this!" This is the only thing the apprentice can be sure of. If my magic cannot guarantee the quality, Sauron is still there.
"I'm curious what your original plan was," Ring asked pointedly.
I do not know either. Uriel pretended not to see its problem and began to lengthen the rope. Mistlock and Rodenworth guarded the wooden stakes of the safety rope for him. The apprentice hesitated for a moment and climbed down the cliff. I have reason to doubt them. He defended himself. The mutual help spirit of these blood descendants is touching, but they are also wary of assistance from strangers. It happens to everyone, especially people who have been hurt. After all, who hasn’t been betrayed? Even the kind Sister Mary... The floating soil and grass seeds fell on his ears. Uriel felt that he had probably encountered too many twists and turns in Blumnot, which made him become suspicious.
Halfway up the climb, he asked Soren: "Do you think the rescue will be successful, Mr. Gerson?"
"You will kill those vampires, I have no doubt" the ring replied.
"Maybe I don't look like a guardian?"
"Your mentor is focused on destruction. Don't you know what you learned from him? Besides, he gave you weapons, and me."
There was a turbulent silence. "I know I can't end this." Uriel hung above the Lake of Bones and looked down. The lake is dark and bottomless. Green algae floated in the moonless waves, the breeze blew through the grass stems, and layers of foam formed among the reeds. His fingers moved to a sudden cold rock and swept away the slippery moss and mud. They fell and sank into the dark waters.
He suddenly didn't want to say anything.
He carried all the adventurer's equipment with him. The most important of them are weapons and shoes. Good shoes are valuable and harder to obtain than swords. Fortunately, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tower is never stingy with equipment costs. Not many people in Boot Valley wear boots, because the vampires have long bridges and their own wings. But Uriel didn't know whether the vampires had faith.
He stepped on the stone wall, leaped downwards, and finally stepped on a section of the surrounding wall outside the castle. The stone bricks were covered with moss, but fortunately his shoes were reliable enough. After a moment of tilt, they were fixed again, and Uriel regained his balance.
Without light, finding a crack just a yard under water was difficult. Uriel was originally wondering how Rodenworth discovered it. The pair of red pupils appeared in his mind, and Sauron gave him the answer.
"The Vampires have some night vision, but it's far from real magic. In any case, if people’s bodies feel that a certain ability is sufficient, it is almost impossible for it to grow naturally.』
The magic briefly heightened his senses, but it wasn't enough. Uriel did not dare to enter the water rashly. He hesitated for a moment, then took out the parchment. He hadn't had time to practice the magical technique to improve his physical ability, so he had to use the shortcut of the Scroll of Oath at this moment.
“You have eyes for your eyes and ears for your ears.”
The vision brightened, and Uriel could clearly see the ripples on the water and the swaying reeds. The entire process was completed in an instant, and the brilliance of divine magic seemed to have never flickered. In the ripples of darkness, the gaps that were filled were like patches on a wall, and the craftsmanship was extremely poor.
He drew out the long sword made of ice and snow, and half-submerged the crystal blade into the lake.
"The Holy Word Arouses"——
'Reason resists illusion, judgment warns passion'
'Keeping your distance is good for you'
"Praise to Loneliness"——
The lake began to freeze, and the magical frost spread in a circular shape, clinging to the building on the side near the stone wall. Uriel still felt that it was not safe enough, so he controlled the ice and snow to seep into the wall, freezing it into a solid block of ice inside and out. The apprentice stepped onto the ice floe nervously, but fortunately it did not crack directly. It seems that the effect of this magic is trustworthy, and the ice surface can bear my weight.
"Do you still have the strength?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I forgot. You didn't know this was a high-level magic." The ring habitually reminded him after the incident, "Bai's profession is the 'Winter Guard', and he can only change his profession if he reaches the level of mystery of the high-level magic. All its mysteries naturally start from a high level.』
"This is just a weakened version." Uriel looked at his feet. The ice looked very solid, and he even stamped his feet without any sway. This is indeed a weakened version, but it is certain that no one will use such a magic to create land. If Joey were present, he wouldn't need to use magic at all. He could freeze the entire Lake of Bones to the edge of the highland with a wave of his hand. He couldn't help but miss the days when the messenger was around. However, if Joey comes with me, they don't have to find any secret escape route - not to mention the vampires staying at Screaming Castle, I'm afraid Prince Trolbane's Requiem Castle will have to obey orders.
As the vampires climbed down, Uriel asked the ring: "Can you control the ice and make it separate?" This would save time.
Sauron ignored him. Chills came from the soles of my feet and surged toward the top of my head. Uriel dug a passage with his sword, only about half a yard before Rodenworth was free to help. Their efficiency became faster and faster, and Uriel's spirit gradually became tense. What will I see in the castle? A sleeping child in a swaddle, or bloody wreckage everywhere? I wish the gods wouldn't be so cruel. Will little Aiken be among them? I promised his mother to send him back, but even if he is in front of me, I may not be able to tell him apart.
Manet gave him a photo and described the color of the boy's hair and eyes. Uriel later remembered that the girl was a citizen he and York met in Bonfire Town. Unexpectedly, in just one month, she seemed to have changed into a different person. This change is not just about appearance, the color of passion and regret flowing in her eyes is something that the original innocent girl Dorothy did not have.
When the wall was cut open, Mysterok's face was blue with cold. The blood-born boy breathed into his palms and rubbed his ears. He looked at Uriel with surprise in his eyes. "Your magic is so powerful."
This is not my magic. The apprentice could only smile awkwardly. "Mr. Rodenworth." He said to the vampire leader, "If things go well, can you help me take away the kidnapped human children? I really have no skills and no tools." He didn't know what tools he had. Can take many children away together. The key to the Star Gap?
The latter nodded sensibly. "Even if you didn't ask for it, I certainly have a reason to do it."
"There are also guards. If our actions are revealed, I will deal with those vampires." Uriel promised, "Finally, I will find a way to burn this dirty castle to ensure that nothing will be left."
"Please don't take risks." Rodenworth reminded kindly. "Just do your best." He also understood that this could only temporarily delay time, but could not fundamentally resolve the conflict between the vampires and the vampires. "We are forever grateful for your helping hand, Uriel. You are someone who truly sympathizes with us. Each of us will remember this, even if we become stone statues." He patted the apprentice on the shoulder.
Uriel felt as if there was more than just the weight of the vampire leader's palm on his shoulders. The castle was right in front of him. He stabbed it in silently, and then fell to the ground covered with withered grass together with the gravel. Mistlock followed closely behind, he subconsciously let out a low cry and twisted his body to let the petrified part hit the ground first.
"Where is this?"
"The dungeon at the bottom." Rodenworth drilled the hole and said stiffly. "This is an unoccupied cell, I'm pretty sure. Because it was left to me by Baron Posier."
Uriel didn't understand: "Leave it to you?"
"The vampires who lead their companions to escape are at the top of the vampire hunting list, but vampires are proud to make these people surrender again. They love to humiliate people's will," answered the ring.
"Follow me." Rodenworth explained without any unnecessary explanation. He led the vampires to grab their weapons and rushed out of the empty cell. Behind the fence on the opposite side, a strange humanoid creature stared at the group of vampires emerging from the shadows with wide eyes.
Uriel cut off the door lock with his sword as he passed by. The other party looked at him suspiciously, and the apprentice didn't care. He hoped that this guy could escape, and even more hoped that he could create chaos and delay the vampires. So as he passed each door, Uriel did the same thing until Mysterok caught him. "What are you doing?"
"As you can see, let them go."
"They'll be spotted by the guards."
"Sooner or later we will too. If your father is really important."
The blood boy seemed a little angry. "Not all the people imprisoned in the dungeon by the vampires are good people! They will also kill our people, and there are even demons among them."
"There are also demons in vampires?" Uriel's focus was different.
"There are creatures with fire. Do you understand what I mean?"
Uriel thought about this guy's incomprehensible mind for a long time and realized that he actually had a death wish and only considered the people who stayed in the village. After all, they don't understand that the mysterious beings other than vampires are just a group of mortals. If they saw how I killed Zachary Posier, they might change their minds.
Even if the Vampires stepped lightly, they couldn't hide it from the ears of the Vampire Guards. Uriel's additional magic was still taking effect, and he quickly found the location of the guard. "Ask your companions to go to the east." The apprentice said to Mistlock beside him, "Someone is coming. Look at the direction, they are not disturbed by the prisoners I let go."
The guards were in teams of two, but after learning that the intruders numbered about a dozen people, all the guards guarding the dungeon arrived. Their armor is light and complete, and their weapons are mostly stabbing swords. Their movements are quick and silent, and they have a cunning and insidious style. Rodenworth and Mysterok would surely die if they encountered them.
Uriel's magic was of great help now. But even in the "Eye of the Eye", these vampires still move as fast as lightning, and their traces are confusing. He couldn't help but feel afraid of the consequences of not using magic. Maybe when they come to me, I will discover the existence of these vampires.
"Don't let the wounds touch their blood," the ring reminded, "if you don't want to be cursed."
I won't get hurt here. Uriel thought to himself.
He did not move forward recklessly. Although the enemies are fast, their mystery level is as expected, pitifully low. Not only did these guys fail to change jobs, they were also very unfamiliar with the use of magic. The first vampire guard to arrive stabbed with his sword, the steel tip flashing red.
The sword is coated with poison. A vampire who has not ignited the fire can also have a vampire. He should have understood the truth of the curse of the vampire. Uriel sheathed his long sword and faced the enemy with his short sword. Then at the moment when the blades clashed, he activated his hidden magic.
