The knight in the abyss

Chapter 922 Devil's Banquet

The next afternoon.

Wearing masks, Lancelot and his partners swaggered around the streets of Oasis Castle.Compared with the last time I came here, Oasis Castle has become much more prosperous. There are row upon row of pedestrians on the street, and a wide variety of goods in the shops. It is obvious that they benefited from the destruction of their direct competitors.

Like Shuangqiao Town, many pedestrians on the street are adventurers, mercenaries, and plane merchants from all corners of the multiverse. Curious eyes looked at everything around.

However, mortals only account for half of the pedestrians, and the other half are all kinds of demons.Different from Shuangqiao Town, the demons that appeared on the streets of Oasis Castle were all demons above the middle level, and of course Berserker Demons were the main ones, which made the smell in the air extremely bad. It was a mixture of fishy smell and stench. The terrible combination of corruption and corruption, if it is the first time for a person to visit the abyss, most of them need to use magic to breathe normally, but Lancelot and his partners have long been used to it.

Of course, in this case, it is impossible not to conflict, after all, half of the recipe is on the other half.From time to time, there will be demons violently eating people on the street, and the reasons are completely unpredictable-it may be just a look, and the other party thinks you are provocative, or it may just be that the person who is attacked has a better appetite.

At this moment, not far in front of Lancelot, this kind of drama is happening again.The two sides of the conflict were three humans dressed as mercenaries, and the other was a berserker.No one knows what the cause of the conflict is, and no one cares, and the passers-by, whether they are mortals or demons, have no intention of helping, they just think it is a free entertainment, or some kind of need to get around Trouble.

The battle went on fiercely and quickly, and the Berserk Demon quickly got two arms and a head, but that was all.A bare-chested guy among the mercenaries is a ruthless character with red tattoos lit up on his body. He wields two flaming long knives with amazing speed and strength. Cut open to retrieve a companion's lost limb.

The guards came late for Shanshan. They were also two Berserkers, but they were wearing exaggerated golden armor. Those were the guards of Oasis Castle called Golden Scarabs.They did not ask the reason for the conflict, nor did they arrest the victor because the dead were of the same kind. They just carried the broken body onto the cart and told the naked barbarian where to provide treatment and resurrection services.

The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, praising that it was really a good show just now.Nominally, the lord of each neutral town will provide visitors with a guarantee of safety, but the reputation of demons has always been well-known, so visitors have to learn to fend for themselves.If anything, it's a tavern in Pirate's Cove on the Material Plane, it's that its residents are extremely selfish and never lend a helping hand to those of their kind in trouble, so minor conflicts rarely turn into major riots, Of course the demon lords would not allow that to happen.

In contrast, Lancelot and his party looked extremely relaxed, as if they were tourists who knew nothing about the situation.However, under the effect of the mask of the Lord of the Dead, almost everyone ignored them subconsciously, and shifted their attention to other places without knowing it; But as long as they observe a little, they can immediately conclude that this group of people is definitely not an ideal target for robbery - the hand and half sword carried by the human knight is obviously a cold iron weapon, and this alone is enough to explain a lot something happened.

Lancelot and his pals aren't really hanging out, they're a professional team wandering around the city to spot spots.Their time is very tight, and it is impossible to determine who will attack first, the dragon lady or the devils, so they must be prepared for different situations.

Of course there are maps, but many situations still have to be seen in person to know, for example, a certain store’s promotional activities occupy half of the street, a certain alley is extremely narrow due to illegal buildings, or a certain yard is actually the most popular place for demons. Welcome to the entertainment venue.

The partners seemed to be silent throughout the whole process, but the scholar used the magic of mind link in advance, so that everyone can discuss the details of the action efficiently.Whether it is the dragon girls who act first, or the devils who launch a surprise attack first, they have already made corresponding plans, and it is even no problem to let Lancelow and the others carry out the robbery mission by themselves, it is just such a drama that lacks Lancelow's expectations Effect.

In addition to the prosperous business activities, the festive atmosphere in the street market is also very strong.Mo Luo was quite straightforward about his betrayal not long ago. The flags symbolizing the Succubus Queen were flying everywhere in the city, but now they have all been replaced by the six-fingered palm flag of Lord Wu'an.Not only that, even among the demons haunting the streets, most of them were Graz'zt's minions, and apart from the guards, Molo's subordinates were hardly seen.

It is not difficult to find those individuals from Azgrat from among the common demons. They have darker skin, thinner stature, and human-like appearance, and they have only some crude equipment (or none at all) .In contrast, Molo's men are standard Tanari demon images, and the male succubus is not stingy in arming his army, which makes it easy for anyone to distinguish them.

Lancelot has been in the abyss for so long, and has a close relationship with a succubus lord. He naturally knows the reason behind this phenomenon-the abyss lord can immediately promote low-level demons by consuming their own magic power. The Tanari made by this method will more or less have certain characteristics of the abyss lord himself, such as Graz'zt's black skin and extra fingers, Yeenoghu's wolf head and sharp claws, and Baphomet's Horns and hooves.

Pit Lords use this method to quickly acquire large armies in the face of a major (bloody or rival) threat, but lesser demon lords cannot.Of course, they also have the ability to promote low-level demons (even Lancelot can), but doing so consumes a lot of their own power, and it is not an economical choice, so ordinary demon lords usually rely on recruiting, or capturing Catch, wild demons come and slowly fill the barracks.

As for why the abyss lord can do that, it is mostly related to the power gained after ruling a plane, at least Karalin and his colleagues believe so.

As the plans in everyone's minds gradually improved, the male succubi's banquet venue was gradually arranged properly.The huge long table was carried up to the square in the center of the town, and the Quasai in maid outfits did their best to arrange the tableware neatly, and even the ingredients were prepared: a large number of corpses, humans, dwarves, elves, Orcs, goblins, and all races piled up on both sides of the square like hills, making the scene look like a siege battle that just ended.

Still, the taste in the square isn't too bad, as there are magic ice cubes to keep the "ingredients" fresh.God knows where Molo got these, but this is obviously not the time to be fussing about proof of origin.

Obviously, this is not a banquet specially held for mortals, but there are also pigs, cattle and sheep among the ingredients, and some tables and chairs suitable for creatures under 6 feet in height are placed in the square.Although it is impossible for any normal person to have an appetite after seeing the surrounding scenes, most of those who will go to the abyss to eat (and survive) are not normal people.As the opening time approached, under the call of those Quasai demons, demonic officers and mortal bloody mercenaries from the 46th floor of the abyss continued to sit, and immediately began to enjoy free and unlimited drinks.

Yes, all the villains in the universe are the same, they all like some kind of poisonous drink that makes them temporarily confused, confused, and unresponsive.The difference lies in the ability to resist poison. Tanari are the most poison-resistant creatures in the multiverse, even to the point of being completely immune to most poison damage. Therefore, all the alcohol they can get drunk on is deadly poison .Even in the Material Plane, many mortals know that the most wonderful wine comes from Shadella, the kingdom of the Queen of the Succubus, but the demons themselves, especially the demons of the middle and lower classes, only recognize the wine produced in the 222nd layer of the abyss. Wine - that's the domain of Mrs. Fungi Zugmoy.

According to rumors, in the dense forest on the 222nd floor of the abyss, there are various poisonous mushrooms that can threaten the lives of demons, and it is with these poisonous mushrooms that Mrs. Fungus brewed a strong wine that was sought after by the Tanari. Why Zugmoy has almost no enemies in the Abyss.Of course, except for Jubilex, who was competing with her for the control of Shedakla on the 222nd floor, one of the two lords controlled the ground and the other controlled the underground, and neither could do anything to the other.

Naturally, Lancelot and the others would not attend this kind of banquet, and it was unnecessary.Around the square, there are a large number of mortals watching, and thousands of demons gather to eat human corpses. This is indeed a very impactful scene, but it is indeed a rare spectacle. For many plane travelers, The meaning of travel is to witness similar scenes.

And when the impotent sun of the Wanyuan Plain completely disappeared below the horizon, the lord of Oasis Castle also led his guard of honor, a group of berserkers wearing armor made of pure gold, accompanied by a band composed of Flo Appeared on the stage, and the rumored wolf snake demon followed behind him.The male succubus made a short and arrogant speech, half of which was touting Grazte and half to himself, just to express how wise his rebellion was, and half of the credit for the conquest of Shuangqiao Town, Lan Sloan had no objection to the latter.

As he listened, he was thinking about how to settle the score with Mo Luo.At this moment, little Isa's voice sounded from the bottom of Lancelow's heart:
'Brother, sister Iserie and the others have appeared! '

'Has it started yet? Lancelot looked at the field, and Molo was pushing a cup with the wolf snake demon (it's called Zelanox), "The timing is okay, it would be better if it was later... You don't want to follow It's too close, stay hidden, and let me know anytime. '

'receive! '

"Dragon ladies have already moved." The human knight turned his head and whispered to his companions, "How is the situation underground?"

"There is no shadow of the devil yet." Karaline replied immediately.

"Not here yet?" Lancelot frowned, "Maybe the vanguard used invisibility? In this way, you move the arcane eye to a place where you can see the portal..."

"What about us?" Brutal asked impatiently, "Do you want to leave now?"

"Wait a little longer." Lancelow shook his head, looking at the bloody banquet, "Let's go with the target..."
