Chapter 8: Ancient city mutation


Through the heavy fog, the bright moon in the sky has become a vague bright spot. Several people soon discovered that the ship's missing boat was steadily parked on the shore. After watching the boat dealer set up the two small boats, several people climbed up the ancient city along the path on the crumbly soil.
The higher the place, the less dense fog at night, and when a group of people walked to the edge of the ancient city, facing the gate full of history and solemnity, the dense fog was completely gone.
The bright moonlight shines directly on the surface of the city wall, making the weather-beaten city wall look like a looming veil. Heliga stood in front of the city gate, feeling slightly in a daze. At this time, his spirit was much better, not as sick as he was on the boat. Laura, Klaus and the guerrillas who saw his changes also secretly relieved.
"I always feel that this city has changed a lot from when I came before." After a moment of indulgence, the butler Klaus said aloud. He was the one who came here with the "Swordsman of Light" to inspect the most times, and before the current Viscount formally succeeded Ragram, he came here with his predecessor. It was just that he was getting older later, and the affairs of the dojo and the Viscount Mansion became more and more onerous. Thinking of this, the Viscount didn't let the old man accompany him for routine inspections. The experienced old housekeeper can tell at a glance that although the exterior of this ancient city still looks the same, it seems that some wonderful changes have taken place inside.
"Then, everyone is fully prepared to enter again." Although there has never been a record of a monster infested here, but the butler’s words made everyone vigilant, and second, the dense fog at night and the missing three people always make People felt a little uneasy, so the leading guerrilla shouted loudly, and everyone nodded in agreement. The weapons used by the three guerrillas were guided rifles, sword shields, and long axe guns. The three of them maintained their weapons and confirmed their tactical power guides (the Guerrillas Association has a unified standard configuration, and Laura also provides them. No, express envy). The old butler walked to the gate of the castle, looked around carefully, lost in thought. After briefly confirming that the Great Sword is in good condition, Laura walks towards Heliga.
"Heliga, is your weapon okay?"
"No problem." Although there was some pain and trance while on the ship, Heliga took the time to check his sharp knight sword. The finest stainless steel, mixed with some finely divided brass, is made by advanced craftsmen. If you care, you can still feel the scorching sensation when it is just taken out of the furnace. "The weapon is in good condition, even if The shell of a Cancer Crab can also be cut easily."
"That's good." Laura smiled slightly, it seemed that she really didn't need to worry, Heliga's answer looked very energetic.
"Everyone, let's go." Everyone is a professional, and all kinds of pre-preparations have already been familiar with the road. Soon, everyone was put into the task again, and the butler Klaus took the lead and opened the gate of the ancient city.
"...It doesn't look unusual." The few people who stepped into the ancient city observed a little in the hall. Except for the normal darkness caused by night, the city looked no different from before.
Among the few people, the strongest butler Klaus frowned at this time, and a strong anxiety filled his heart. The eagle-like sharp eyes of the young butler with a treasure sword shot straight at the door that hadn't been opened for many years to the north of the hall.
Feeling the old butler's focus shifted, several people quickly moved to the stone gate. On this ancient door that has not been opened for many years, fresh handprints are clearly left!
"This door..." a guerrilla who accompanied him said uncertainly, "I remember that it leads to the underground area of ​​this ancient city...because it is related to the "Iron Cavalry" of the empire, it has never been opened, right? "
"This is troublesome..." The butler Klaus said distressedly, "If you climb to the top floor, you can take them back with a little effort, but if you enter this underground area..."
Before the butler could finish speaking, a terrible scream came from the silent castle, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
"What?" The few people immediately launched a defensive posture, moving extremely quickly, and the old butler keenly discovered the source of the sound, "On top!"
The old butler made a decisive decision and issued an order to several people: "It's important to save people. Leave the basement of this ancient city alone, everyone immediately go up!"
Several people responded quickly, and then rushed upstairs. The guerrillas were strong and sturdy, and the three of them lined up to the front; Laura and Klaus followed closely behind, and Heliga—
"Oh...what does it feel like..." The body that had already recovered, once again felt the state of weakness, but the difference is that when I slowly lost consciousness this time, I did not fall, and It is some kind of force that continues to urge itself to go up...
This time, Heliga did not think of the strange pictures and characters. Soon, he regained control of his body. At this time, a few people had rushed to a corner under the top-level clock tower. The two children were hugging each other and crying, chanting "Goddess Bless", while an adult male was forced to be calm and brave, facing the other The stairs on the side shouted: "Get out! Monster! Don't come here!"
There was a rustling sound from the stairs, and dozens of strange monsters twisted their bodies and slid down. The whole body of these monsters was dyed in weird red, and the strangely shaped head-like objects swayed up and down, without hands or feet, and their bodies were just suspended in mid-air.
"Ahhhhh! Ghost!" When the monster turned his head, the two children lost their last sanity and began to cry in fright. And the child's father also felt a deep despair at this time-
"Drink!" Seeing this scene, several guerrillas could no longer hold back, and immediately rushed forward. Relying on the advantage of the weapon, the axe gunner rushed up first, with a vertical split head on. This attack is heavy, if it is accurate, it may leave a huge mark on the iron block, but-
Such a powerful blow went straight through the body of the monster, hitting the stone slab on the ground, and a large number of broken stones and dust flew up. Feeling the hostility coming from behind, these ghostly monsters turned their heads and reached out to grab the guerrillas.
"No, physical attacks can't hit them!" The axe gunner, who felt a certain sticky and hot touch, was approaching, and immediately retreated to a safe distance, avoiding the attack of the monster. And the gunner who came up immediately pulled the trigger three times in a row and shot at three different monsters.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The projectiles fired by the powerful guided gun also penetrated the wildfire, hit the ground with three crisp sounds.
"Tsk!" Seeing this, the sword and shield hand, who was about to rush into the monster pile to kill, rolled over to the other side, hung the shield to his waist, and took out the force guide—soon, a ball Fiery energy gathered around him.
"Fire Arrow!" With the completion of the magic drive, a fiery flame was launched from the force guide, accurately hitting a monster's head. Suddenly, most of the shimmering things were eliminated. Upon seeing this, the other guerrillas also took out power guides and started driving magic. A few flaming bombs forced the monsters to retreat, but more monsters have slipped down the stairs
"You three! Please give us time!" The guerrillas had already rushed to the frightened tourists, and one of them shouted.
Laura and Heliga looked at each other, nodded each, and plunged into the fight from both sides. After observation, although these monsters are not harmed by physical attacks, they respond to attacks and move slowly. If someone checks them, they can buy time for guerrillas who can use magic!
"Master, you--" Laura turned to her old housekeeper, but found that the old housekeeper seemed to have not heard, but held the hilt tightly--
"Supreme Sword!" The right foot moved back slightly, his body tightened and then suddenly popped out-the vindictive old man used Alsideliu's arcane swordsmanship, and the purple-red vindictiveness swept with the stabbing action. Out, the few monsters in front of me were broken into pieces instantly!
"It turns out...the fighting spirit can also hurt these things..." the three guerrillas who were shocked by this attack murmured to themselves.
"Well, everyone! Work harder!" The long-breathed old man once again assumed a posture, "If you have anything, I will say it after we get rid of these monsters!"
"Oh!" Such a strong performance of the old man not only stabilized the panic-stricken people's emotions, but also made several combatants more interested in fighting!

The edge of the cliff not far from the castle.
A woman in casual clothes with a beautiful back is standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the castle.
And if you can get around the cliff and see the face of this woman, you will be even more impressed by the amazing beauty.
And the majestic and majestic aura that is unmodified but not deliberately expressed, is also hovering around this woman, giving people a sense of attention from outsiders.
With the huge knight's gun in his hand that matched the accident, his right hand, which was throwing, was slightly tight, and after seeing something, he let it go.
This old castle is her possession. She knew all the secrets here.
Today is the day when the full moon is shining, coupled with the thick fog, the summer heat dissipates, and the three overlap, it is the time when the depressed souls under this old castle are ready to move.
Those innocent tourists should never be killed accidentally here because of this
I had planned to rescue her personally, hiding her merit and fame deeply-this was a breeze for her, who had already broken through the limits of mortals.
But then the figure driving through the thick fog, let her dispel this idea.
They can do it. If this is the case, how about letting them do it? she thinks.
The descendants of his loyal right-hand man, now the empire rarely embraces traditional aristocratic people.
Although she could not see what happened in the castle through the thick stone walls, there were eyes loyal to her everywhere in the fortress.
She clearly saw that the old and strong knight, the loyal supporter of the hand armor, and the two heroic chicks fighting bravely to protect the weak.
It is also clear that after the easy victory, the horrified man took the child and bowed to several people.
She smiled slightly, this world still has this kind of beauty.
However, just as she turned around comfortingly, preparing to meditate tonight--
That kind of dark, eager to move, is floating from the old castle
