Karadna nodded and carefully checked everything in the room with him.

Soon, the sorcerer found a lever-like switch on the statue platform in the northeast corner.

"Boom..."

With a roar, the platform began to rotate, and then slowly turned around, and a downward rotation ladder appeared.

This is a small room shrouded in the shadows.

There is a small altar under the wall opposite the stairs, and a black round wooden plate surrounded by a circle of purple rings hangs on the wall above the altar.

Brian did not find out that this was the emblem of Ms. Lost Lady Shar.

There was also a small lamp on the altar, as if the source of the shadow in the room was this lamp, the oil inside was burning, but it emitted a shadow.

There was a letter in the shadow of the desk lamp.

Brian picked it up curiously and took it apart and checked it out.

Despiel:

Miss Lost has seen your sincerity and she intends to reward you for this.

So I sent Selvin to you, and he will hand over this letter to you in person.

At the same time, he also brought a way to reopen the door of dusk, which will help us share our common purpose.

As you pass through this door, you will find you are in a reflection of the fortress.

A fellow Selvin, a Shadow-born Lizardman, will wait there and take you to the Abbendu Monastery.

I will be there waiting for you to come, and we will have many things to discuss.

Protect your secrets.

One day, they will end the mystery.

"Who is Despier?" Karadna looked at Brian like a curious baby.

"The ancient black dragon guarding the shadow plane." Brian put away the letter and explained to her: "In the ritual where the magic net was torn apart, this black dragon was responsible for this part of Hirozawa."

"The Dusk Gate is the passage you are looking for to the shadow plane, is that right?" the sorcerer said his guess.

"The answer is correct." Brian smiled at her, but responded to him by the latter's beautiful pair of rolling eyes.

"Strange, why is the passage to the shadow plane called the gate of dusk?"

Karadna found another point of the problem. She sat casually on the table, shook her white and slender legs, looked at the thoughtful Brian, and asked curiously: "There must be some story hidden here."

"Because the one who created this door was the Dusk Lord." Brian observed the surroundings while answering the sorcerer's question. "A very inconspicuous legend mentioned that the Dusk Lord once studied the power of shadows and finally established a passage to the shadow world, and never returned."

Three hundred years ago, a prosperous tribe lived on the land between Thunder Peak and the elves' territory.

They called themselves: Sethlund, and their lord was called by the people: Dusk Lord.

Later, the Lord of the Bow Valley accused the Lord of Dusk of studying the magic of the undead and other dark forces, which polluted the land.

So, the war broke out.

Regardless of whether the allegation is true or not, it is all that.

Eventually, the army of Bow Valley destroyed Sethlund's town, and the civilization disappeared after three weeks of massacre.

Most of the remaining people moved westward into the Kingdom of Cormier, and most of their wealth was brought back to the Bow Valley by the plunderers.

And Sethlund disappeared from history and gradually became forgotten.

Only a few scholars are still arguing about the fate of the Dusk Lord.

Some people think he is dead, while others think he relies on powerful undead magic to maintain his existence.

Judging from the earlier folk legends, the latter may be a fact: the lord of Dusk fled to Guangze and lived in seclusion here since then.

One hundred and fifty years later, the claim that the Dusk Lord lived in seclusion in Guangze gradually disappeared.

Only a very few people insist that he is still here, with the body of a lich...

"So that's it." The sorcerer who was relishing hearing couldn't help but look at Brian for a few more glances and smiled: "I didn't expect you to know so much secret history."

"The historical area of ​​the Crown Palace is recorded." Brian glanced at her and said, "The history and speculation about the 'Down Lord' was written by your teacher Sandra Cott himself."

"Okay..." Karadna's cheeks turned slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed for no reason.

Brian was too lazy to pay attention to her, and after he got rid of the two unlucky patrols who had entered here again, they walked through the fortress complex and came to a low stone tower.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are no windows or light sources on this tower, and it is as dark as a cellar.

Five haggard lizardmen and a young woman were still handcuffed to the wall, who did not react to the arrival of the two.

These lizardmen and the only humans all looked very haggard and tired.

Brian waved his hand and used magic to open their shackles. After a brief understanding, as he imagined, these lizard men were all from the Sharp-Tooth Tribe.

For example, the old shaman's wife Ashara, and their former chief Gan Ran.

The only thing that surprised Brian was a Bede barbarian named Brenciti.

This young barbarian female warrior is not only tall, but also has a very rare beauty in the Bede Barbarian tribe.

Her fiery red hair is now tied into a refreshing ponytail and hanging behind her head. Her big eyes are shining with clear light like stars in the sky. Her tall and straight nose, and her slightly thick lips all reveal the stubbornness in the barbarian woman's character.

Although I have been exposed to wind and sun for many years, my fair skin is still smooth and delicate. The feeling of touching it is the same as the oil extracted from whale fat.

Seeing this, Brian immediately understood that no wonder the eighth prince of Ghost City, Ecasia, was so obsessed with her, and she looked a little capitalized.

According to the other party's story, he learned that the female barbarian was originally imprisoned by the Eighth Prince in the floating city of Sacros. The second prince Yada couldn't stand it, so he secretly released her and guided her to take refuge through Hirozawa to Cormier.

As a result, I happened to meet the people from Shar Church and imprisoned them here, intending to return them to the eighth prince Ekasia when the mission is over.

As for why she didn't go back to her own Bede Barbarian tribe, she undoubtedly became the only survivor in the Griffon tribe in the Enoak Desert.

After Brian did not waste too much time and guided a path for the group of lizardmen, he continued to lead Karadna to find the gate of dusk in the fortress.

"Why did you guide the female barbarian named Brenciti a different path than the lizardman?" The danger of the fortress was lifted, and the sorcerer's high heels clattered happily on the marble floor. She caught up with Bryan's footsteps and walked side by side, asking with confusion:

"You are not saying that you have notified the consul of Huailun City to go to Guangze and let the Lizardmen of the Lizard tribe sign a loyalty covenant with Cormier. Why don't she go back with the Lizardmen? This is not more convenient."

"Have you ever heard a word?" Brian stopped and looked at Karadna, "It's hard to persuade the damn ghost."

"Why do you say that?" Karadna was stunned.

"I just felt the hatred for the ghost man she expressed in words when she was talking about. After all, they destroyed the griffin tribe." Brian said calmly:

"I was worried that this kind of person would bring danger to them, so I let her die on her own."

He had long known the degree of infatuation with this female barbarian in the Eight Prince of Ghost City. If he really asked the other party to return to the Kingdom of Cormier with the consul of Huailun City, he would be worried that he would meet Ekasia who was going to track down the road.

Obviously, this ghost ranger with a medium-sized strength is a disaster for the entire Lizardman tribe and the consul's troops.

Karadna nodded in a slight sense of understanding, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I thought you were the kind of person who couldn't walk when you saw a beautiful girl. You would definitely be able to reach out to help her. I didn't expect that you were quite considerate."

"Am I that kind of person?" Brian looked at the sorcerer who teased her in anger, and said in a pretended unhappy tone.

He didn't know much about this girl from the Bede barbarians, but only knew that the Eight Prince of Yinhun City was very obsessed with him, and the latter was flattering and just looking for opportunities for revenge.

Therefore, he didn't want to cause many troubles to himself because of this unexpected change.

"Isn't it?" Karadna obviously didn't take his tricks, and raised her full chest and asked her soul without showing any weakness. "If not, why did you rescue Xisaiya in the dark area?"

"The nature of the two is different, forget it, I'm too lazy to explain it to you." Brian didn't want to talk to her, so he threw a sentence, speeded up and continued to walk towards the depths of the fortress.

They came to a large courtyard at the deepest point, and the ground inside had long been eroded into mud.

It seemed like this was once a garden.

But now it is covered with dense weeds, vines and shrubs.

These vegetation grows so prosperous that there is almost no place to be found on the ground, and the wall on the north side is also flooded by vegetation that grows inside and outside.

The growth direction of vegetation spreads towards the tower, making it appear dark and quiet.

Brian led the sorcerer into the tower, and there was a shaky spiral staircase in the center of the octagonal room, passing through the hole in the ceiling and leading to the upper floor.

They stopped hesitating and stepped onto the spiral staircase and came to the top of the tower, where, as he thought, there was an open-air obsidian altar.

Brian stared at the sky where the sunset was about to disappear, pondered for a moment, took out the Shadow Stone fragments and placed them in the center of the Obsidian altar.

As expected.

In just a moment, a portal with a dark color appeared quietly in front of the two people in front of them.

Obviously, this is the gate of dusk to the shadow plane.

"I finally found the path to the shadow plane. Be alert. The next task will become very difficult. If I accidentally die inside, I will not collect your body."

Brian took away the Shadow Stone, reminded the sorcerer who was very interested in looking at the portal, and led her through the portal and disappeared on the tower.
