Chapter 323 The Lost City XII
After a night's rest, everyone had almost recovered. After checking their luggage, they got on the road again and walked towards the central square.
Everyone was quite relaxed along the way. After all, the members of the Doomsday God did not stop and wait for them, indicating that the other party was not specifically coming for them. This also made these adventurers relieved. Not only that, maybe it was because of the Doomsday God.
Since the fanatic followers of the sect had been cleared away, the adventurers did not encounter any monsters to attack them along the way, and there was no alarm similar to the previous one from Tilis.
But it doesn't seem right to say that everything is normal.
"What the hell, why is it so cold..."
The adventurers breathed in the heat, rubbed their hands, and looked around. No wonder they had such complaints. After just one night, they felt that the temperature in the entire Lost City had dropped several degrees, even though it was late autumn.
It is natural for the temperature to drop during the season, but the current climate does not look like late autumn to adventurers, but it has already entered winter. If it were not snowing now and the mountains next to it were still bright green, I am afraid that
They really thought that autumn had turned to winter and it was time for ice.
It seems that Tinidel has come to visit...
Zhan was still walking leisurely at the end. Of course he knew what this biting cold was about. This was not a normal sudden drop in temperature, but the cold breath coming from death itself. Obviously, Tinidel was there last night.
I have already passed through this area and went to look for the fragments of the Shadow Gate. I don’t know if the two sides have met now, but judging from the current situation, it seems that the two sides have not met at all. Otherwise, with Tinidell
His character will definitely cause a huge stir. But looking at it now, I don’t know whether it’s because the people of the Doomsday Cult are too lucky or because Tinidell’s speed is too slow.
But Zhan thought about it and thought it was probably the latter. He knew Tinidel's character better than anyone else. At best, he was steady and mature, but at worst, he was a born slow man who always did things slowly.
It is swallowable, whether it is fighting or anything, but this is an advantage for her to command the undead army. A person who does things slowly will not change because of the change of the situation, she will only follow her own
Under the leadership of such a person, the undead creatures can exert their lethality to the extreme. They can spend several days killing something.
The entire mountain was combed from beginning to end, not even a corner was spared, and only Tinidel could do such a thing. In fact, she was able to become one of Klein's four generals, which is why she was able to do so.
It's because of her character strengths.
And now, Zhan can be sure that no matter what the situation becomes, Tinidell will move forward slowly at her own pace without any changes - because she can complete the task no matter what.
Thinking of this, Zhan couldn't help but glance at Tilis who was walking in front of the team. Others didn't know it very well, but Zhan knew it very well. If Tilis hadn't led everyone to find the abandoned tower as a safe place yesterday,
If there is a hiding place, then they will definitely not be able to escape Tinidel's search. The Nine Holy Gods can be passed down on the mainland for so many years, and none of them is useless. The Silver Saint Sailon may be ranked last among the gods in terms of the strength of direct attack and defense.
, but is quite sensitive to danger.
It’s just that Tilis looks a little weird today. Ever since she started on the road, she has been walking in front holding her wooden stick. Occasionally, she will secretly look back at Zhan, and then look back like a frightened little rabbit.
.As for Tilis' reaction, Zhan En just smiled slightly and didn't say much. He knew why Tilis became like this. In fact, Zhan En had already noticed before that that Silver Saint
Followers of female Seren are still worse than other believers in terms of will training. Take Nadia, for example, as a paladin of the Eye of Truth, she far surpasses Tilis in terms of spiritual cultivation.
During the adventure together in Casalanth, Zhan used mental pollution so many times, and his verbal attacks only slightly shook the paladin's faith. As for Tilis, Zhan
En Ze didn't spend much effort and had already sneaked into the gap in her mind. Of course, as a believer of the gods, Tilis is still more determined than others, and what Zhan has sneaked into now is just those who have nothing to do with it.
The important part did not go straight to the core. However, he believed that as long as time passed, the believers of this goddess would be completely changed by him.
But the one who is most easily influenced by him......
Thinking of this, Zhan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Aina, who was running and jumping not far away. At this moment, the half-elf ranger girl looked no different from usual, she was still cheerful and lively.
But Zhan has clearly felt that her soul is being polluted and distorted by her own magic power. What happened last night is the best answer. Under normal circumstances, Aina certainly cannot do anything for Tilis.
It's true that they are good friends, but to sacrifice themselves to this extent for each other is a bit unbelievable.
But at least Aina was indeed very happy that Zhan En could save her companions, and she was also quite grateful to Zhan En.
For Jenn, this is a perfect opportunity.
Just when Aina was thanking herself, Zhan quietly took advantage of the mental gap created by her relaxation and sneaked into it silently. Then he secretly encouraged Aina's mood, making her originally
The gratitude towards Zhan En gradually expanded like a balloon again. Coupled with the charm spell Zhan used on Aina, the half-elf girl was full of affection for him, so in this calm manner
Under the twists and guidance of Aina, Aina finally made this decision "on her own".
Perhaps from Tilis's point of view, this is simply an unbelievable thing, but for Aina, whose mind has been gradually distorted by Zhan, the whole thing is completely logical - Tilis is important to her.
Good friend. Zhan is a human being she likes very much, and Zhan saved Tilis so that she did not lose this friend. So as Tilis's closest friend, she naturally wants to repay Zhan. Therefore, she treats Zhan
It is only natural that you should repay your kindness with your body.
Yes, of course.
This is Zhan's mental manipulation. After leaving the dungeon, he has only done similar things to a limited number of people such as Ligeia. But now, he has changed his targets to Tilis and Aina. The former
Being a believer of the Silver Saint is somewhat difficult, but the latter fell quickly. After breaking through the defense, the pure blood of the elves can be said to have no resistance to the erosion of magic. For Zhan, Aina will
Transforming into a succubus is just a matter of time.
But now…………
"Lord Zhan."
Just when Zhan was distracted, Steve's voice suddenly sounded. He turned his head and saw the adventure leader looking at him solemnly.
"What's the matter? Captain Steve?"
"That's right, Lord Zhan, you said before that you want us to protect you to the Sun Temple in the square. But judging from the route of the previous group of cultists, it seems that they are also heading to the Sun Temple. If we collide...
………”
Having said this, Steve did not continue, but the hidden meaning in his words was already very obvious. From the previous battles, it can be seen that "The Goblin and the Treasure Box" are not the opponent of those black knights in terms of strength. The previous
The reason why he was able to win was entirely because Zhan killed most of them by himself. But it is conceivable that those black knights are just a small part of the cultists. What if they really face each other head-on again?
, Steve is not convinced that Zhan alone can protect all members of the team. What's more, they were originally hired to protect Zhan. Although this situation is somewhat repeated now, if they are only protected by Zhan
, is also a very embarrassing thing.
But if they continue to move forward for the sake of face, they will definitely suffer a lot of losses. Although the adventurers are selling their lives for money, they are not asking for death. And noticing Steve's hesitation, Zhan smiled slightly.
"Don't worry. Captain Steve, I have already been prepared. In fact, there is more than one road to the Sun Temple. Before coming here, I have conducted research on this city. If my guess is not correct,
If it's wrong, then we should be able to find a secret passage leading to the Sun Temple. As long as this secret passage can be activated, then we don't have to worry about the troubles of those cultists."
"I see."
Hearing Zhan's answer, Steve could only nod his head, but he couldn't say anything more. After Zhan showed his strength, Steve knew that this young man going to the Sun Temple would definitely not be like him.
He was going to do some archaeological research as he claimed, otherwise he wouldn't have continued to move forward knowing that there were cultists ahead. He was sure that the other party was looking for something. But Steve didn't ask stupidly.
It's the employer's **, and all they have to do is take the money and do the work.
What's more, the adventure leader also has his own ideas.
Thinking of this, Steve raised his head and looked ahead. Under the sunlight, the thick fog ahead seemed thicker and thicker. They covered the Lost City like this, looking from a distance, it looked like a sleeping beast.
Temple of the Sun.
Verona stopped and his eyes wrapped in black robes stared motionlessly at the tall building standing in the square in front of him. It was nearly ten meters high, with the sun god Amun-Ra carved on it.
Mark. Although hundreds of years have passed and parts of the temple have completely collapsed, it still cannot hide its former sanctity and glory. The monsters that previously lived in the square have long been swept away by the black knights of the Doomsday Cult.
Empty, leaving only mutilated corpses and flowing blood. Seeing this scene, Verona snorted coldly.
"Croy, you take the first team down with me. The others are responsible for guarding the surroundings. Remember, no matter what happens, we must protect the safety of this place until we come out! No matter what we see, we will kill without mercy.
Great beliefs and goals do not allow anyone to hinder or destroy them, do you understand?!!"
"yes!"
After hearing Verona's order, Croy nodded, then turned his head and made a gesture to the black knights around him. Seeing Croy's action, the black knights immediately differentiated themselves.
The team members followed them, while the others quickly walked up the steps of the temple, took out their crossbows from behind and aimed them around the square, forming a solid line of defense. Seeing this scene, Verona then
