The fierce wind blew, sweeping the sand and gravel on the blood-colored plain into the air again, scattered and boundless, which made the sun, which briefly shone on the ground through the thick dust, return to a dark red.
Wild dogs with three heads dragged their tails from afar, feeding on dead demons, slowly growing scales on their bodies. Their eyes were red, and they devoured the corpses like a competition, not even letting go of the part that was still burning, and even the bones were chewed and swallowed.
Atlanta opened his eyes, looked at such a scene, and said in a soft and kind voice: "Are you going into the abyss now?"
He inquired about Lucian, Natasha, and Malfurion's plan of action.
Malfurio simply cooperated with Lucian to prevent sudden changes in the interior and deteriorate the relationship between the Magic Council and the elves, so he did not answer, and looked at Lucian with a hint of green pupils.
Lucian shook his head: "Enter the abyss tomorrow, stay in the Nameless Town today to see if you can find any problems."
Speaking of this, he smiled: "Entering the Abyss to investigate is a relatively late choice, and you should not aim for the Abyss without carefully searching and inspecting the surroundings. What if the source is really here? I don't want to waste time, especially because of my own negligence, and I have to do things step by step."
"Very good, let's carefully look for the oddities of Nameless Town and nearby areas in the next time." Atlanta quite agrees with Lucian's opinion.
Malfurion naturally had no objection, and Ranhill and Selinde, who felt the power of "Eternal Sun", were quite silent.
As she flew to the town of the Nameless, Natasha asked through a psychic connection: "Why do you want to go to the abyss? No need to take risks...... If you want to help me find a chance to fight, there is no problem in waiting for the demon kings to attack in the town of the Nameless."
She believed that Lucian was not the kind of person who did not care about priorities, so she was quite confused.
"This 'spatial fusion' is quite similar to one of my ideas, so I hope to study it thoroughly and maybe find something." Lucian explained, looked back at the gap in the abyss, shook his head, and muttered to himself in the spiritual connection, "Is it 'space fusion'......?"
Seeing that Lucian had her own purpose, Natasha nodded without saying anything more, feeling that every cell in her body was invigorated and eager to fight.
…………
The town of the nameless.
Mason and Fred paced back and forth down the street, surrounded by equally anxious waiting adventurers, who couldn't wait to leave here, not to fall victim to the abyss.
"Boy, stop! You bumped into me!" In such an atmosphere, a burly man suddenly roared angrily, his bald head had a cyan pattern like entangled branches and leaves - this belonged to one of the totems of the barbarians of the highlands at the southern end of the Dark Mountains.
The young man who was roared by him carried a short bow on his back, holding a blue dagger that exuded a hint of chill in his right hand, and his emotions rose a little out of control: "Barbarian, shut your mouth, this is not the place to compete in the voice, otherwise I don't mind letting you taste the taste of freezing."
Due to the commotion caused by the "Eternal Sun" just now, the short streets were crowded with adventurers, and it was inevitable that they would collide with each other.
"Bastard! You must apologize to me, or I will make you nameless!" The barbarian was so angry that his veins burst out, and his two-meter-tall body was bulging with muscles, shimmering with a deep bronze luster.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, a heavenly knight's right hand turned into flames and split between them from top to bottom, causing the earth to crack a scorched gap.
"Be quiet!" The heavenly knight's cold golden eyes swept a glance at the two knight-level adventurers.
Looking at the traces on the ground, both the barbarian and the young man took a step back, glared at each other, and then turned their heads to leave.
Mason, who witnessed all this, sighed: "After being blocked for a long time, and experiencing the previous demon tide and the death of many adventurers, everyone's mood seems to be becoming more and more irritable and anxious, and even the slightest thing can lead to a bloody incident."
Even he himself had similar irritability and painful feelings and wanted to vent them.
Fred took a soft breath, intending to criticize the elves' slow efficiency, which hadn't been lifted for so long after Eternal Sun.
At this time, he suddenly raised his head with some feeling, and saw a strange change in the sky above the town, and the blue sky filled with blood-colored dust suddenly "fell", low, depressing, and dim!
Then, half of the sky became brighter, with ever-changing lights inside, sometimes showing obscure darkness, like a symbol of the human heart, the other half became darker and darker, more and more low, and finally, the blood color faded, leaving only the deepest and deepest darkness, boundless darkness!
And in this darkness, there is a little bit of star-like twinkling, colorful and strange.
Looking at this vast and far-reaching scene like a starry sky, looking at this flickering and obscure scene like a human heart, Fred suddenly fell into a state of fainting, his soul floated, and he had no other consciousness for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, the cool breeze with the smell of blood blew, Fred shivered suddenly, seeing that the sky had long returned to normal, and the permeating dust still blocked the sun's rays, no, not the sun, but the silver-white moonlight!
"Was it an illusion just now......" Fred turned his head and found that Mason and the others were all standing there like stone statues, and the entire town of Nameless was surprisingly quiet, not even the giant dog in heat at the "Flesh and Bone" bar roared.
"No, it's a half-plane projection, a half-plane ...... of a legendary magician," Mason also came back to his senses and said as if answering to himself.
Some rituals that help knights temper their bloodlines require communication and summoning legendary plane powers, just like the promotion of clergy in the Church of Truth must communicate and summon the "Lord".
Fred smiled self-deprecatingly: "This is the first time I've seen a legendary plane, and it's not a 'blood plain'."
The lord of the Scarlet Plains, the "Blood King", is a legendary second-order demon, and if magicians, cults, and knights with special bloodlines want to perform blood and killing rituals, they are likely to summon the power of the "Blood Plains", so it is also a legendary plane.
"The two Excellency of the Council have finally finished checking." Mason was exhausted from the bottom of his heart, and at this time, it was already late at night.
…………
In the polluted forest outside the town of the Nameless, there were trees that violated normal laws, they bent wantonly, as if they had been pranked by children, and there were tumors on the bark, leaving blood-colored filth, ferocious and disgusting.
"This is a forest that has been polluted by being too close to the abyss crevices, but it begins to gradually weaken after a hundred meters, and at two hundred meters, it is almost normal, and it is difficult to bear the consistency of the needs of 'space fusion'." "Balance Hand" Lodel introduced the only place nearby that could be harmonized with the Abyss parameter.
Lucian observed carefully for a while, then checked it again with magic, and nodded: "It can be confirmed that this has nothing to do with the expansion of the abyss gap."
Atlanta also gave a similar conclusion.
"It seems that I really want to go to the abyss." Malfurio was reluctant to go in, the god-like "Abyssal Will" was a complete lunatic, and no one knew what he wanted to do next, because even He himself didn't know! What if He 'couldn't think of it' for a moment and blew himself up directly in front of himself and others? So what to do?
Compared to the Lord of Hell with many conspiracies, he was more worried about the Abyss Will without a brain.
"The 'Space Fusion' is still in its infancy, and it basically belongs between the Crimson Plain and the Stroop Forest, so it is affected by the abyss here, and it will also be suppressed by the main material world, and the wounded 'Abyssal Will' is basically impossible to descend on the Crimson Plain, just as it cannot directly descend on the Overworld." Lucian explained to Malfurion that this was the handling experience of the ancient magical empire.
Speaking of this, Lucian looked at Ranhir, Lodel, and Celinda, and said solemnly: "Due to the progress in the investigation of the fallen elf incident, there is one thing I must remind you."
The "Day One Investigation Report" of Ulyssian, Felipe, Heidi, and others has reached Lucian through electromagnetic messaging, so they know their suspicions.
"What's the matter?" Ranhir's expression became solemn, no longer as arrogant as before, hiding many thoughts in his arrogance.
Lucian roughly preached: "In the ancient ruins in the deepest part of hell, there are seven strange and inexplicable ancient demons, named after emotions such as hatred and pain...... As long as the corresponding emotion in the heart reaches a certain level and cannot be expressed, and this emotion is strengthened through a seemingly ordinary special ritual, and the heart believes that there is such an ancient devil, then the devil seed hidden in everyone's heart will 'revive', 'grow and sprout', and guide the corresponding ancient devil projection ......"
「…… The magicians who followed us initially suspected that the fallen elves were infected by ancient demons......"
The "Ancient Devil ......" elves have well-preserved ancient civilization books, so Malfurion recalls the legend that was divided into the bard's story under Lucian's narration.
His expression was very solemn, if there really was such a monster, it would be absolutely weird and difficult to defend, more difficult to deal with than all the devil dukes and earls!
Lordel, Celinda, and Lanhil all whispered the names of the ancient devils, they had never thought of such a monster!
Lucian continued: "When I inspected the Nameless Town before, I found that the adventurers in the town were trapped here for a long time and were in danger of demonic attacks, so they were all very anxious, painful, tyrannical and uneasy, and were at an abnormal critical point. If this matter is really related to the ancient devil, this atmosphere is very easy to take advantage of, you must pay attention, eliminate suspicion as soon as possible, and let them leave."
"Leave this tedious matter to me." Atlanta said.
…………
The next day, Lucian, Natasha, and Malfurion passed through the abyss chasm and entered the Scarlet Plains.
In the town of the Nameless, Mason and Fred had just finished resting when they heard a scream below, and a great knight was seriously injured by the Heavenly Knight who was slightly out of control, and blood was spilled all over the ground.
Looking at the bright red and dazzling liquid, the blood vessels on Mason's forehead jumped and jumped, and his vision seemed to be filled with it, and the strange and oppressive feeling became stronger and stronger, making him unable to endure it any longer.
"No, I can't stay here any longer!"
He stood up suddenly, grabbed Fred, and rushed in the direction of the elven guard.
In the "Natural Residence", Ulyssian, Felipe and others also went to find the "staff bearer" Martha under the leadership of Estine.
