The knight in the abyss

Chapter 26 Karalin

Lancelot was startled and asked in surprise:

"Have you read the Dark Scroll before?"

"Yes, a stupid decision. As a seeker, when you find the Scroll of Darkness or any demon-related item, the right thing to do is to take it back to the nearest Order branch immediately, but I and the Order's Like everyone, they are full of curiosity about demon knowledge." Karalin spread his hands, "The attacking demon directly pulled the entire room into the abyss, but the scroll was teleported away from my arms at the last moment. already."

"Uh, so how did you escape this attacking demon?"

"I was attacked by a defiance, a demon that isn't as keen on killing as other demons, so it doesn't seem to have much interest in me. Anyway, I survived the attack. With some knowledge of the abyss , I survived the first few days, but in the end I was caught by that Bagura demon named Kuka."

"I see." Lancelot nodded. "You mentioned that you are an explorer. What kind of job is this?"

"The purpose of the Black Order is to collect Eminem's writings in all corners of the universe, and to continue to explore knowledge related to demons along his footsteps. The job of the seeker is to search for items or information related to it for the Order .This can be weapons and items used by the demon, or a precise description of an encounter with a demon, or even capturing a demon alive for research. The order will calculate the contribution based on the value of the discovery, provide rewards, and improve accordingly A member's rank in the Order."

"So, the Black Order must be a respected organization."

"Uh, in fact, there are not many such cases. The attitude of the demons to the order can be imagined. Most of the time, a branch of the order has to keep a low profile and secret state for safety reasons, and because we Always engaged in activities related to demons, it is not difficult to imagine how bad the image of the order is in the eyes of the public who do not know the truth." Karalin shrugged helplessly, "Fortunately, the ruling class is usually aware of the black order. especially when a demonic invasion does break out in their territory."

"It does sound very useful, but I guess you don't like actually coming to your research subjects' den."

"It's true. People who study war don't like being on the battlefield, and people who study demons certainly don't want to face demons." Karalin sighed again. "We are all experts on paper, and our combat power is a lot worse than those of professional adventurers. Our greatest value is actually the knowledge in our minds, which can help adventurers deal with all kinds of demons correctly."

"There is a person standing in front of you who can use this knowledge." Lancelot said with great interest. "Fighting the devil, can you give me any advice?"

"Your great sword is very suitable for fighting a larger enemy like a demon." Karalin pointed to the hilt that protruded from Lancelot's back and was a head taller than him. "The most effective against demons are weapons of divine or good nature, but that is unlikely to be found on this plane, and will attract unexpected enemies like a bonfire in the dark. In addition, cold iron also It's effective, less rare, and about twice as expensive as a normal weapon. There's no limit to the user's good and evil natures, so even demons like to use them as weapons."

Pluto, who had been listening with great interest, suddenly interjected:

"Are you talking about the kind of special metal that is buried deep in the ground, always emitting cold air, and needs to be forged at low temperature?"

"Uh, yes. Are you familiar with this material?"

"That's our clan's specialty." Pluto Frostcast said happily. "My father is also an expert in the field of cold iron processing. Do you think we should let Tijana know? Is it possible to improve the treatment of my father?"

"Your father is also in Shuangqiao Town? Is he also a mercenary?" Karalin asked in surprise.

"No, his father works for Tijana's blacksmith in Shuangqiao," Lancelot explained. "This guy's name is Pluto, and he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life trapped by some forge in the abyss. So I chose to become an adventurer. Did I mention it earlier? Saving the succubus named Grace is Tijana's assessment of our mercenary qualifications. Although the results were not as expected, it seems that we are our mercenaries. passed."

"Oh, the famous mercenary service in Shuangqiao Town, Tijana always evaluates each applicant herself." Karalin's emotions became excited again.

"Why did you react so strongly to Tijana? Is she famous?"

"The story of Shuangqiao Town she built is very exciting, and it can't be told for three days and three nights. The fifth battle of the Acropolis is a miracle, showing her extraordinary strategy and leadership, and she is simply the protagonist of the legendary story. ." Speaking of Tijana, Karalin was a little embarrassed. "The identity of the succubus is inherently thought-provoking, and by the standards of demons, her attitude towards mortals is even friendly, so you can easily understand the researchers' interest in her."

"She is indeed a very attractive lady." Lancelot nodded in agreement.

Pluto rolled his eyes very covertly.'??

The group marched along the Styx, and Lancelot and Karalin chatted while walking.But after they climbed over a small mountain, they encountered a creature familiar to Lancelot.

More than a dozen Abyss Hounds are drinking water by the Styx River. This demonized beast seems to be immune to the poison contained in the Styx River, as well as various other negative effects.

There was a guy with two heads among the dogs, and he immediately spotted Lancelot and his party.

Unlike the last time he encountered this creature, Lancelot did not have the advantage of numbers this time, so the group of hounds did not flinch at all.They looked at them one after another, bared their sharp teeth, and kept drooling from them. They had already determined that these humans in front of them were a feast that fell from the sky.

Lancelot knew that he couldn't hesitate at this moment. Once the enemy surrounded him, it would be difficult for him to protect everyone.Immediately he drew his weapon and charged towards the dogs, shouting to Pluto at the same time:

"I'll deal with these guys, you protect others!"

Those abyss hounds also rushed towards him without showing weakness, but of course Lancelot was not an ordinary knight.The true energy in his dantian naturally poured out, and his giant sword was swung at a speed that defied common sense, like a tornado blowing on the ground.

The enemy that rushed over was like a small fishing boat that crashed into the storm and was torn to shreds in an instant.

The abyss hound with two heads saw this and let out a whimpering sound, and the several abyss hounds immediately tried to bypass Lancelot and attack the people behind him.

Lancelot thought something was wrong, but the enemy tried to bypass him from both sides at the same time, and despite the full block, the two abyss hounds slipped past.

"Pluto! Stop them!"
