Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 109 This damn place is so big

“Tweet, Tweet, Tweet~ (Protect yourself and wait for our good news.)”

Nohill, who noticed that the saliva was hiding behind the guards in the crack of the door, and that the guards did not show any abnormal behavior, immediately let out a few short bird calls.

Shui Shui responded immediately after hearing the sound.

"Meow~ (Don't worry, I've done this before, don't worry about my safety.)"

Nohir smiled when he heard this and said no more, but immediately turned around and grabbed Ska.

Because he already knew the specific situation inside from the previous investigation, he directly grabbed Ska and took off, falling into the tunnel and passing through the phantom wall with very quick movements.

Scar was a little surprised by this illusion wall, but he still maintained the fighting qualities of a high-level paladin and did not make any unnecessary noise. Nohir also returned to the top again to pull down the trap door and reset it, and then flew away again. return.

After returning, Nohir made a gesture to Ska to follow him, then took off his double ax and walked slowly and carefully in the tunnel.

Seeing this, Ska also took off his shield and war hammer, held them tightly in his hands, and followed Nohir slowly forward silently.

When they reached the first door, Nohir suddenly raised his hand to signal Scar to stop here first, while he continued to walk forward slowly.

He wanted to go to the end of the corridor first to see what was there. If there was nothing unexpected there, he would first turn around and investigate these two rooms, and then slowly explore one room after another.

He first walked to the end of the passage and did not choose to stick his head out rashly. Instead, he calmed down and listened carefully to see if there was any additional movement.

The passage to the left was quiet, with no footsteps or voices, but there was a faint buzzing sound from the passage to the right.

I can’t quite hear what the sound is exactly, but it feels like the vague buzzing sound conveyed by many people reciting fixed words together in a closed room.

"Damn it, could I have heard wrong? Are there so many people underground?"

Nohill also seemed a little confused after hearing these sounds. He even suspected that his ears might have heard it wrong. Although the scale of this basement is currently quite large, it is impossible to accommodate too many creatures gathering here unless …

Nuo Xiang cautiously stuck his head out. He first looked to the right. The passage made of stone was about 40 meters long. At the end was a thick stone wall. There was no passage that turned in other directions. There was only a Zhang on the left wall at the end of the passage. The thick iron-clad wooden door emitted dim yellow fluorescence under the door crack, and those strange humming sounds were emanating from that room.

Nohir turned his head to the left again. There was no movement there, just like what he heard. No one could be seen except for the miserable green fluorescence. Even the passage itself was very short, only about five meters long, but The most surprising thing is that the passage on the left is not the end. There is an additional tunnel on the right side of the end of the passage that leads to nowhere.

Nohir retracted his head. It was obvious that this ghost place was much bigger than he thought. It was very likely that this was not a basement at all, but a fucking dungeon!

This unexpected discovery caught Nohir off guard again. He originally thought that the underground space was not big, so the security force was naturally not strong.

What really made him make this judgment was that in the helmet's perception, there were only a few devils underground, which made him relax his vigilance. He naturally thought that the underground security force only had these few devils, but now he saw It's not that simple.

Damn it! If things really develop in the direction he originally imagined, they should be able to get what they want easily. Even if there is a battle, it will not be a waste at all. A few demons are no match for them. With the crown of control he currently wears on his head, even if there is a high-level devil entrenched here, Nohir can be sure to deal with it, but now...

"There is actually a dungeon underground under the Duke's Palace, and she has secretly gathered an unknown number of subordinates in the dungeon. This is going to be troublesome."

Nohir was lost in thought. The current complex situation in this dungeon forced him to reconsider his plan to explore here. The previous easy assumptions could be completely abandoned.

"...There is no other way. If I still want to continue this operation, I must capture a devil and dig out some information from his mind to confirm the specific situation here. There is no way to do something dangerous for this." There’s a way.”

Nohir probed his head again to confirm. "It seems that we can't leave on the right side for the time being. There are too many people there, and it seems to have reached the end. Then we should go back and search those two rooms according to the original plan, choose a devil at random, control it directly with the crown, and then use him brain to obtain information.”

"Oh, trouble, I don't know how big this dungeon is, and if my guess is correct, there must be more than one secret exit here. I absolutely can't until I find where Tavis Craig is hiding. Exposed, otherwise this guy will run away after hearing the news, and then I won’t be able to do anything about it.”

Nohir quietly stepped back and came to Scar's side. He didn't say anything but just shook his head. Then Nohir pointed to the door on the left, signaling to search that room first.

Although Ska didn't know what Nohill saw there, he neither thought about it nor asked any questions. He just nodded and continued to follow Nohill.

Nohir stood in front of the door of the room on the left. No light came out of this door at all. The entire door also looked very solid. The whole door was covered with iron sheets and steel nails. The only hole was the iron keyhole.

According to the structure and strength of this door, whether it is directly forced to open the door or opened with a key, it will alert the unknown devil inside, and then cause a series of vicious chain reactions.

But he has never been an indecisive person. This risk must be taken. No, wait, maybe there is a way to minimize the risk.

His intelligence, which was as high as 16 points after wearing the crown, immediately thought of a possible way. After confirming the plan, Nohill signaled Scar to go to another door to guard against any possible intruders. The spoiler, while he himself was completely immersed in the perception of the crown.

This time, he had only one goal.

Completely connecting his thoughts with the devil hidden in that room, he took off the glove on his right hand and began to slowly pry the thick keyhole with his sharp claws.

He had briefly sensed the mental state of these devils through the crown before. At that time, he found that all the devils seemed to be asleep, and his plan was to break the door while the devils were sleeping, and then go in to secretly hack or kill them. Control them.

Of course, achieving this is not as simple as it sounds. The noise made during the process of picking the lock can easily wake him up. In order to prevent this from happening, Nohill chose to use his crown to monitor the door wholeheartedly. The brainwave activity of the devil inside.

Any sign that his brain wants to wake up will be directly sensed by him. He will stop directly at the moment of fluctuation, and then wait for his brain wave activity to calm down before continuing.

As for whether it would be too difficult to pry open these iron locks with claws?

No, there is no such thing at all. This is actually not difficult for him. The mechanical knowledge he exchanged through the panel before allowed him to understand the principles of this simple iron door, the most basic iron lock Nohir I am confident that I can pry it open with my claws alone.

Yeah, perfect plan.

Nohir smiled slightly and then slowly put his claws in. While picking the keyhole, he concentrated on sensing the devil's brain waves.

His movements were very fast, and after just a few seconds, the keyhole was pried open with a click. However, the strange thing was that in his perception, the devil's mind was still dead silent, and the click sound of the door lock being opened before was still there. It didn't make any waves in his thoughts.

This is not normal. Although Nohill had experienced very calm thoughts when detecting the thoughts of those little devils before, as long as the perception time was a little longer, their thoughts would fluctuate a little.

But the devil inside is different. He is too quiet, and there seems to be no waves in his heart at all. When this happens, he either enters a deep sleep, or falls directly into a severe coma.

"...This place is getting weirder and weirder, but we've come this far, and there's nothing we can do to move back."

Nohir took two steps back, held the bundle of activated ropes with his left hand, softly spoke the secret word, and quickly made a spell-casting gesture with his right hand.

"Thumbs, open the door silently."
