Praise of the Light to the Dark Knight

More corpses were soon found upstairs. A duke’s mansion is not just one or two servants. There are more than one or two servants in the living room. They found many corpses in servant uniforms along the way, all dead with dry skin and strange postures. .

"It is the body's instinct to protect oneself when you fall, and it is also a natural biological reaction to subconsciously protect your vitals when you are attacked." Moiraira moved a maid who fell to the ground with her sword. "The magic takes effect very quickly. Before falling to the ground, the victim It has already lost all life fluctuations."

"They don't have any sense of being attacked," another paladin added.

Of course, the siphon spell can be cast instantly, but the instant cast also needs to be face-to-face. The caster has to see the poor person being sucked, just like drinking a drink, you must insert the straw into the cup, and you can’t suck things in the air.

"None of these servants resisted!" Moiraine looked around and reported to Yalan.

The situation is not much different from the speculation, even if it wasn't the Duke himself who did it - the evil leaders usually don't do it themselves, if they don't have two fans, it's hard to say - it must be done by the high-ranking servants in this mansion For example, the housekeeper, the master's personal servant, imagine if a junior maid is sneaky, her colleagues at the same level may scold her, or like a kitchen servant running into the living room, it is absolutely conspicuous like a goblin rushing in, there is no chance To do bad things, only those who are in charge and have some status can wander around the mansion and do small tricks without being noticed.

"No matter who it is." Kevin interrupted the paladins' enthusiastic investigation gloomily, "Now he is an undercover agent of the Annihilation Sect who has been exposed. I don't want to know his tragic story or experience his crimes at all. Motive, I just want to pull him out and slaughter him, take out his bones, drain his blood, and make the organs into specimens and spell-casting materials, of course I will let him scream fully before that."

Paladins: "..."

When teaming up with the black mage, I always feel that I am the villain!

"No one else," reported the paladins, "and no secret room."

"My God!" Kevin said disgustedly, "Is the secret room in the living room? Look for it in the study and bedroom!"

The paladins trembled, they felt that the black mages in the team were about to start indiscriminate attacks.

The priest was more anxious than the light priests who led the team. He wished he could lead the way and rush to the front of the paladins. Kevin made a few gestures casually—it seemed that the spellcasters from Shadow Moon made gestures so casually. Shadowmoon Priest has never used any of the complex gestures depicted and the tricks of academy mages that can twist the fingers of ordinary people, but these casual waving gestures are just as effective. The corpses scattered on the ground quietly climbed up, A discipline that has never been seen before in life. List out the formation of knights neatly, pick up vases, cleaning utensils and other things in a professional way, obviously driving their necromancers to know how to hold weapons correctly, they replaced cautious The paladins strode into the rooms, quickly but absolutely silently turning them upside down.

The way the dead perceive the environment is of course different from that of the living. They can no longer see the world in their dead eyes, but the life force flowing in the air will guide them to the target. All the awakened dead bodies silently walked to Kadi The Duke's bedroom, they rushed into the room, stepped on the carpet that had been carefully maintained in the past, and gathered around the bed.

"That's enough!" Kevin walked over and kicked the mattress, "The entrance to the tunnel is right below."

The team that went to the cemetery was probably at a loss because they were sure that the underground space was located under the cemetery. Out of prudence, Yalan arranged for Sissel and Dinin to be there just in case. So far, their speculation is still the same. To be precise, this underground space that must be entered through the entrance, the only entrance is hidden in the Duke's private mansion, where outsiders can never enter.

"As long as we don't go in and find out that it's a dirty place where a golden house is used to hide pampered beauties." Kevin poked the bed with a bone of an unknown creature, thinking about how to open it.

"On the contrary." Paladin Moiraira replied half-complainingly, "I wish it was a ridiculous place for nobles to hide beautiful slaves. An imperial noble with a dirty private life is much easier to deal with than an imperial noble who colludes with the Annihilation Sect Already!"

Aristocratic families are a bit unsuitable to be seen in the light, generally harmless, but colluding with cultists?It is almost conceivable that there will be a group of crazy aristocrats in the capital, especially those who have interests in the Catilla family, and even the northwest defense line will suffer. Seventeen imperial regiments are stationed on that defense line, and among the high-ranking generals there are A third of them are more or less related to the surname Kadela.

The offspring who envied the master's family in the past will probably yell at them this time, angrily accusing the master's parents of digging their own graves!

Yalan also cast spells - he cast spells much better than the black mage, those slender fingers flipped, stirring up the magic flow in the air, he confirmed after a moment: "There is no magic and no barrier, the entrance of this secret passage is some kind of mechanical creation .”

"Tear it down!" Kevin waved his hand—was stopped by the paladins in time.

"Mechanical creations!" Etjaye explained for them, shaking his fingers, "Those strange things made by goblins, gnomes and dwarves, no matter how exquisite the mechanisms are, most of the effects after being triggered by the enemy are related to explosions. At least half of the goblins say goodbye to half of their IQ forever in the mechanical explosion they created!"

With a gloomy face, Kevin glared at him, and then drove all the living people out of the house, leaving only dead bodies in the room.

The paladins resignedly used their holy light shields, and their holy lights were connected to each other to form a shield ball covering the entire room. Not a moment later, a muffled explosion came from the light ball.

The bed turned into a black hole, and the surroundings felt like a gust of wind, the flames were still fluttering among the papers on the desk, and the luxurious upholstery and carpet turned into charcoal.

"Goblin gunpowder." Yalan knelt down and touched the sulfur-based residue on the scorched black carpet. "The human kingdom in the southeast that had friction with the goblin tribe suffered greatly from this thing."

Although there are many legendary powerhouses among human beings, the members of the army are still ordinary people. A legendary mage can indeed sweep the battlefield, but the premise is that a legendary mage is willing to leave his tower and library and serve the world. Power struggles... it's even worse to compete with goblins for mineral veins.And those races who don't have any talent for magic or fighting spirit - goblins, dwarves, halflings, and dwarves born from their random mixed blood, magic can't flow in their bodies, fighting spirit can't be aroused, they are timid by nature, Going to the battlefield is definitely taking the lead in escaping, and there are even very few who can understand divine arts, but the world has given them another kind of talent - machinery.The invention and manufacture of machinery made it impossible for even the most elite human troops to break into their tribes.

Hundreds of years ago, the dwarf kingdom began to use huge mining machines. If it weren’t for the large number of humans, the giant dragons guarded the precious crystal mines tightly, and the elves and druids regarded nature as higher than life. Those dwarves could take Dia Digging into briquettes.

"Racial talent, just like elves are friendly and natural, goblins seem to be born to make firearms." Yalan suddenly smiled, "I think we have seen the maker of this mechanical door."

Etjaye tried his best to remember, and shook exaggeratedly: "Isn't it, that dirty fire maid?"

There is such a goblin maid in the Duke's mansion who can't stand on the stage, a mixed race, not as ugly and short as a pure goblin, but from the perspective of human aesthetics, she is still ugly. She should go to the circus to be a buffoon. In the duke's mansion, she should not even be qualified to be a fire maid.

"Fiona, that lady's name is Fiona." Yalan said.

"You still remember the name of that thing!" Atgaya spread his hands.

"That's a lady." Yalan glanced at him reproachfully. Obviously, paladins generally don't like the goblin race, but they won't show it in front of the high priest, and only Etjaya will say it outright. .

Et Gaya responded not to be outdone: "Ma'am? Do you call a low-level creature that has created and has the ability to continue to create a big bang called a lady? That lovely goblin lady—" He bit the word "ma'am" heavily On, "—has taken refuge in our greatest enemy, the Goddess of Annihilation, who told me before that gender does not determine character?"

"I just hope..." Yalan frowned, "at least you don't call her 'that thing'. Goblins are just a race that is different from humans, but they also walk in the continent of Diana, and they have no advantages or disadvantages from elves and humans. the difference."

That's right, that's right, Et Gaya raised his forehead, Yalan was very dissatisfied with the fact that humans called him "high elf", and obviously calling goblins an inferior race would also make elves feel unhappy.

Atgaya felt the sour taste.

He snorted, not intending to continue wasting his saliva, he reluctantly said: "Okay, but I'm right about one thing, goblins don't have such high 'ideals' or 'great goals', goblins don't have any beliefs gods whose spirits are as chaotic as their personalities."

"Then it shows that this young lady has been used." Ya Lan nodded.

Et Gaya let out a long sigh from the bottom of his heart—so according to this development trend, it would not work to directly hack that thing to death!God knows how many goblin mines there are going to be down there in that dark hole ready to blow people into popcorn, and then they can't just kill that thing... Well that goblin girl!

Kevin, who hadn't said anything, interrupted the discussion on race and belief. He commanded the dead bodies to crawl into the tunnel, "Don't get too close."

If this is entering a mage tower, dead man's wayfinding is not completely reliable, because mages can distinguish species to attack, and magic traps can be used by dead people to step on it, but living people can't, but goblins... their IQs have been increasing for many years Their explosive power is reduced, there is no exaggerated creativity, their mines are boom boom boom, the bigger the bomb, the better.

They were too worried. There were no mines in the tunnel. Yalan once judged that the surrounding terrain of the Yinxin Fortress was relatively fragile, so they could not directly demolish the cemetery and rush into the ground. The huge turmoil might cause landslides. The same is true for this tunnel. She didn't fully inherit the goblin race's love for explosions. Of course, she may have listened to her master... But in short, she knew that if the mine exploded in the tunnel, it would easily cause their own people to come and go, so the defense along the way was relatively close. Because of cold weapons, barbed iron plates fell from the sky, and the road suddenly cracked and spiky or something.

With the dead they carried on with ease.

Until they encountered the first golem.
