Chapter 451: The lost artifact

Now that the team leader has a complete plan and made a guarantee, it is difficult for others to continue to ask questions. They passed through a stinking ditch and came to a locked iron gate. With the key in hand, everyone opened the door effortlessly and entered the spacious underground hall.

This is the hiding place of one of the elemental witches that sealed Kangus. Henry had been here once, but now it has been used as a hiding place by a few blind men. Perhaps as confirmed by some scientific experiments, once humans lose their eyesight, the remaining sensory organs will rapidly increase dozens or even hundreds of times. Before he could speak, one of the blind men spoke first.

"Ah... be careful, friends. I can feel someone walking into this hall."

Celie Lev frowned and muttered in a low voice: "Go on Tyre, there are so many people without eyes, they must all be believers of blind eyes."

Although the voice is very small, for this blind man with abnormal hearing, it is not much different from normal speaking. He hurriedly got up from the ground and waved his hand to explain, "No, ma'am, we are not. Uh... to be correct, we used to believe it before, but we don't believe it anymore."

"Oh? Can you tell me why?" Sai Li Love asked with wide eyes.

The blind man nodded with a wry smile. "Of course! My name is Shasar, and I was once the highest priest of the only true god. When I discovered his evil purpose, I couldn't help but escape, and hid here with other escaped believers."

"So you should know the true face of this so-called one true god? Can you tell us?" Kai Dong hurriedly asked. In his eyes, as long as he can find the main envoy behind the scenes, the task is considered complete, because as long as he can confirm that he is not the true god, he can report to the council and send troops to eliminate them.

"It's an beholder, but it's not an ordinary beholder. It can not only bestow true magical skills on believers. There is also a whole army of beholders lurking underneath. It is the leader of these evil monsters and possesses very powerful power. Just one glance can turn a person into a statue directly.” The blind man named Shasar showed a look of fear on his face.

After hearing the true face of Blind Eye, Kaidong turned around in surprise and asked Henry: "Have you ever heard of an example of a beholder becoming a demigod or a god?"

"It's impossible, because all the blood of the beholder comes from the "major mother" on the sixth floor of the bottomless abyss. As the descendants of a powerful abyss lord. They themselves are very resistant to divinity, not to mention becoming a god, even There is no precedent for divine creatures."

Henry also didn't understand what was going on. You must know that the "major mother" thinks that her offspring already have enough magical talents and do not need magical skills at all, so unless they are resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, they will give the "eye of the brood" nine priest levels for a short period of time, and The longest time will not exceed seven days.

From this point of view. This kind of creature is very repulsive of things related to gods, whether it is concept or bloodline. How can there be beholders that can bestow magical skills? There must be some unspeakable secret hidden here, maybe it is related to the artifact hidden in the dungeon, but it must be confirmed by seeing it in person.

"It seems that our investigation will continue, at least to figure out the peculiarities or weaknesses of this beholder." Kaidong couldn't help sighing after he finished speaking. This incident is the strangest among the many cults he has investigated, and the enemy is also quite difficult to deal with.

After listening to the conversation between the two. Shasar suddenly said: "Two adults, if you want to destroy the blind eye, I have a suggestion. The reason why this powerful beholder settled here is to obtain the powerful artifact underground. It is said that. It was an item with destructive power, so the **** decided not to use it anymore and divided it into two halves, half of which was hidden in the underground temple. The other half had been acquired by the beholder."

"As far as I know, half of the artifacts placed in the underground temple were protected by powerful forces. The beholder once sent countless hands to take it away, but they all failed without exception, and none of them came back alive. I believe that as long as you can gain the power of this artifact, you can definitely use it to destroy the blind eye..."

Before the blind man could finish speaking, Henry interrupted him for a long time and asked: "Since this artifact is so powerful, why don't you go by yourself?"

He always felt that the guy in front of him had no purpose, because these words sounded good at first, but he didn't mention a word about the danger.

"Because...because that artifact was cursed. The curse that the **** personally imposed, not to mention...only half of the artifact is of no use, only...only when the other half is retrieved from the beholder can it possess destructive power." Sha Sal stammered and replied. His expression looked a little flustered, obviously he didn't expect someone to see through the trap behind him.

"Huh! I said, it turned out to be the curse of the gods again. You want to sneak into the beholder's lair again, no wonder you go or not, it turns out that you want us to die." As Henry released a trace of murder, the temperature of the entire hall Instantly reduced a lot. He hates this kind of clever guy the most. Although he is not guilty of death, he still has to be scared.

But Kaidong stopped before he could do anything. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, although this person has concealed the danger of this mission, the information provided is still very useful, and we have to go no matter how dangerous it is, right?"

"Well, let's forget it this time, if there's another time..." The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a very evil smile.

Shasar was frightened and hurriedly shook his hands. "I promise there won't be another time! As long as you retrieve half of the artifact, I can provide a passage to the Beholder Cavern."

"Then I'm looking forward to it, and I hope I won't play any tricks this time. You must know that the paladin's endurance is also limited, and I won't be protecting you next time." After saying that Henry led his teammates toward the lobby Go to another exit. It's getting late now, he needs to find a safe place to camp as soon as possible, and contact Imoen by the way to see why the troublemaker hasn't come back.

Going straight along the dark tunnel, it didn't take long to come to the end. Here is a downward spiral staircase, because it is too dark to see how deep it is. Hina immediately took out a dagger when she saw it, and blessed it with a "lighting technique" and threw it directly down.

I saw a small ball of light falling rapidly and getting smaller and smaller, disappearing at the end of the darkness, and it took a long time to hear the sound of landing. Obviously, it is very high from the ground floor. If you rely on the stairs, you may not be able to walk in less than an hour or two.

"Well, next is the time to climb the stairs, I hope there will be no accidents in the middle." Kaidong couldn't help sighing after he finished speaking. For a paladin his age, this kind of physical work is the most terrible.

Henry smiled and asked, "Why climb the stairs? We can use a faster method. For example, just jump down..."

As soon as the voice fell, he opened his arms and pushed the three teammates down together with himself.

Cyrelev was frightened and closed his eyes by the airflow generated by the rapid fall, and squeezed the weapon in his hand, trying to get a little psychological comfort. But all this is in vain, because most creatures are afraid of heights except for those who can really fly. This is a protective instruction of the brain, which is basically difficult to overcome.

Hina turned into a dragon directly with excitement, flapping her huge wings to slow down the speed of her fall. But judging from her pale face, these wings are definitely not as good as the real dragon.

Kaidong no longer cared about his manners and shouted at Henry: "Damn! You are crazy! We will all be thrown to death!"

"Hahahaha! Don't have a snack, I will make sure everyone will land safely." Henry replied with a big laugh. Not only is he not nervous now, but somehow enjoys the excitement of this kind of falling from a high altitude.

This kind of enjoyment did not last long. Everyone quickly saw the light spot below it again, and then it became bigger and bigger, and they saw the ground in just a few seconds. Just before the collision, Henry opened his mouth and uttered a syllable, followed by magic being cast.

The space of more than three meters in radius was suddenly filled with special magical energy. Everyone found that their body suddenly became very light, and at the same time the speed of descent was also slowed down, like a feather slowly falling to the ground. . This is the first-level magic "feather fall technique", and wizards usually use it to save lives when falling from a high altitude.

However, the duration of this magic is an increase of six seconds per cast level, and the range of influence is only about three to four cubic meters. If you can't master the time and distance, you will most likely fall to death or be injured directly. Every year, many low-level mages die in the "feather fall technique", some of them are due to their own reasons ~www.ltnovel.com~ but more are due to the "disarming magic" of the enemy in mid-air.

Henry dared to use this spell here, one is because there are no enemies around, and the second is because of the night vision ability brought by the "Ring of Gus". No matter which one of these two is missing, he will not take risks easily. After all, safety comes first for the caster.

After landing, Cyrelev finally couldn't help it, and started to vomit while supporting the root of the wall. When she was in the air, her face was not so good, it was a real loss that she could bear it till now. Uncle Kaidong’s image is slightly better, but not much better. His legs and hands were shaking constantly, and he seemed to be shocked.

Seeing the tragic sight of the two paladins, Henry laughed and said: "Well, I said that everyone will land safely."

"You're such a bastard! Almost caused me to have a heart attack. Next time you do this kind of thing, you'd better say hello in advance. I'm old and can't stand this kind of stimulation." Patted his chest. If he hadn't experienced enough, he probably wouldn't be better than Lilev. Although the paladin is not afraid of evil monsters, there is still no way to overcome the human nature like the fear of heights. (To be continued.
