The career of an evil alchemist that started with picking up a crazy sword girl

But also because of their existence, it shows that this prison car is probably prepared for the purpose of imprisoning living creatures in the novel. three

Looking inside through the holes, one can see a huge metal coffin standing quietly. San

The surface of the coffin is rough and hard, covered with a thick layer of rust, which seems to tell the story of the long years it has experienced. The edges of the coffin were irregularly bulging, like marks left by countless impacts and knocks. 〇

Surrounding the metal coffin were countless sturdy iron chains as thick as thighs. 5

The chains were intricately intertwined, binding the coffin tightly. Search

The surface of the iron chain was covered with sharp rusty thorns. They shone coldly in the weak light, looking cold and ferocious. So

"With this size, what kind of ancient beast is locked inside..." The corner of Lu Lin's mouth twitched. :

"Hmm... this situation is a bit subtle," Xiulinsi crossed her hands, "Maybe they are actually here to throw away garbage?"

"Although this coffin is large, it should be because of the thick outer shell. There is probably a humanoid creature trapped inside," Lu Lin said, "Well... as far as you know, has the Holy Cult done anything similar before? "

"I've never heard of it," Xiulinsi shook her head, "I'm getting more and more confused about what they want to do."

"A trap or something like that?" Lu Lin touched his chin, "Deliberately exposed to the forces in the Chaotic Land, luring them to intercept and kill this team, and then release what's locked inside? Hell, there's a trap inside. A nuclear bomb?"

"No matter what it is, it must be very dangerous," Xiulinsi said, "What should I do? Are we still going to intercept them?"

"The interception must be intercepted. Who made us unlucky enough to block their way," Lu Lin said helplessly, "No matter what, they will transport this thing to our hometown, but... maybe the action plan needs to be slightly changed. change."

⒐ "Kill other people, but prevent them from liberating the prison van or something like that?" Xiulinsi asked, "But this kind of thing may also be conditional unblocking or remote unblocking, and you have to completely cut off their ability to unblock it. The possibility is probably not realistic.”

"It doesn't matter, as long as it is not unsealed in our home," Lu Lin said, "Actually, my idea is, no matter what is locked inside, just let it out. This is a desert anyway, and we will let it out when it is released. Just withdraw, and then consider the next step after confirming what they released and their subsequent actions.”

"Hmm...is this the idea?" Xiulinsi touched her chin.

"Well, we don't have enough information. If we want to find out what's inside, we have to release it," Lu Lin said, "Moreover, seeing how tightly they sealed this thing, if you're lucky, that thing He is really a dangerous person who cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. As long as he is released, he can help us directly deal with this holy army. "

Si: "Even under perfect circumstances, after killing these guys, it may not be able to find the target and return to the original route."

"You think this is a little too beautiful," the ferret complained.

Save "What if," Lu Lin shrugged.

“I still feel it’s not very reliable,” Xiulinsi said. “Can you really fool something that even the Holy Cult takes so much trouble to deal with?”

"Yeah... that's right," Lu Lin frowned slightly, "Oh, so the trouble lies here. Whether it's a brave man or a dungeon, the power in it all comes from another world. The holy religion holds it in his hands. With these resources, you can never guess how many strange things they can come up with. It’s hard to handle..."

Jiu Ling Si - "８⑷Early Qiu 0铻 swelling: "Turn"!: "To be on the safe side, we'd better gather all the top combat forces we can contact," Xiulinsi said, "and discuss it with them. "

"No, we don't have enough time," Lu Lin shook his head, "The closer it gets to us, the more dangerous it becomes. Now go back and deliver letters to the three oasis cities, and wait for people to come and discuss it again. We don't know when it will go. "

"Then at least ask the queen of the night elves to check it?" Xiulinsi asked.

"It's possible, but it may not be useful," Lu Lin said, "Well...actually, I suddenly feel that we may have reached a dead end."

"What?" Xiulinsi frowned slightly.

"If you think about it carefully, we have a lot of information in our hands," Lu Lin said. "Doesn't it be enough to know the opponent's trump card?"

"But those cards on the opponent's side are all just a cover for this trump card," Xiulinsi said.

"Yes, it's all a pretense," Lu Lin nodded, "But all pretense is necessary, isn't it?"

"Hey, I seem to understand what you mean," the ferret touched his chin with a smirk on his face.

"You want to say, target someone else besides that thing?" Xiulinsi frowned slightly, "But is there any difference from what you just said?"

"Yes, the difference is that we need to make them unwilling to break the seal of that thing," Lu Lin said.

"How?" Xiulinsi asked.

"You said that based on the Holy Religion's intelligence network, you shouldn't know that there is a dungeon here?" Lu Lin asked.

"How do I know," Xiulinsi shook her head and said, "They may or may not know that the northern desert is a closed environment after all. Coupled with the previous rumors of the 'Empty God Cult', even if the desert is surrounded by trade routes, After walking around for a while, the Dagashi Cult can’t figure out the situation.”

"Yes, so the opportunity is here," Lu Lin said, "Whether the Holy Cult knows about the situation in the underground city here, they definitely don't know that the underground city here has been taken care of by us⑻]⑤\u003c76·§ Liu ⑶Sisi 2 Yuhan: Oh.”

"The troops they sent this time are undoubtedly aimed at people. No matter which force in the Chaos Land their final goal is, or they can hit anyone at will, they will always have to hit one force to be complete. Task."

"But what if...their team was killed halfway by monsters emerging from the dungeon in the desert before they even met anyone?"

"Huh? Do you want to..." Xiulinsi glanced at the black insect under her.

"Well," a smile appeared on Lu Lin's lips, "I haven't given these bugs a meal since I caught them. I just took this opportunity to give them a full meal."

A few days later.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the Crusaders stopped advancing and began to camp on the spot.

Walking in the desolate desert for days, not eating enough, not drinking enough water every day, and always seeing the same scene in front of them, made the morale of the Crusaders very low.

In the search of this unit, there was a man named "Maka".

He is the actual steward of this army, and is also the highest-ranking person in the team besides Cerberus - the only silver-armored paladin in the team.

In the Crusader Army, anyone who is named a Paladin is a person with outstanding military exploits and outstanding strength.

The Paladin is the supreme pursuit of the Holy Knights, and the Golden Armor Paladin is the supreme honor.

But looking at the entire holy sect, there are no more than twenty golden-armored holy knights. It would be good to have one in command in most holy cities.

There are relatively more silver-armored paladins, but there are usually only a few in each holy city.

There are more white-clothed paladins, but looking at the entire empire, there are only a few hundred people, and most of them are concentrated in the First Holy City. In other holy cities, there are usually only twenty or thirty people.

The young man named Garud who followed Seborli was a white-clothed paladin. -bar

On weekdays, if nothing major happens, Seborli basically doesn't care about anything, and Maka is responsible for almost all the trivial matters. ⑤

As Cerbery's personal disciple, Garud only knew how to follow Cerbery on weekdays and would not help Maka at all. Qi

Of course, Maka is used to this. ⑹

Being able to reach his position, he understands very well how big the gap is between the Paladin in Gold Armor and the Paladin in Silver Armor. (VI)

If you want to become a Paladin in Silver Armor, the strength of a Grandmaster is just a stepping stone. Among the Paladins in Silver Armor, there are many top experts who are considered to have reached the limit of Grandmaster. However, there is still an insurmountable gap between them and becoming a Paladin in Golden Armor. Three

Almost all of the golden armored paladins are monsters with inhuman strength. Hiss

Therefore, no matter what Cerbery said to him, he would not be dissatisfied at all. ⒋

He never questioned the arrangement of Serbo Calendar.佴

only……

This time when he came out, he felt really uneasy.

He knew very well that the "Serbor" following the team was not him at all, but just a puppet.

Although Seborli told him when he left that this was part of the plan and a cover-up to confuse the enemy, he always felt that things were not that simple.

To say what made him most uneasy...

He lowered his head and looked at his right hand.

This hand was the hand he used to hold the sword with.

In the past, he had killed countless enemies for the Holy Religion with a cross sword.

But now, his hand, which contained almost 70% of his strength, had become pitch black and extremely thin.

This hand is still healthy, but it has forgotten how to hold the sword and has become extremely weak. It can't even support the weight of the arm armor, so that he does not wear an arm armor on this hand, but only Wear a cloak to cover your hands.

This injury was left in Loves Hades Valley.

The horror of that dungeon exceeded his knowledge, and the wounds it left him were unheard of.

In the doctor's opinion, his hand was perfectly healthy except for being a little darker.

But everyone can see that he has suffered an irrecoverable blow.

Because of this injury, Maka's strength also plummeted, and the title of this silver-armored paladin was not worthy of its name.

Originally, Makar thought that he would retire or be demoted to an ordinary instructor.

But... for some reason, the Holy Cult has been unwilling to let him see anyone since he returned from injury.

He had a guess. Perhaps the Holy Cult, or the Archbishop of the Seventh Holy City Cathedral, did not want others to see his miserable state.

The injuries left to him by Loves Hades Valley were enough to scare any warrior.樲

He lived in darkness for a long time, and then suddenly received this mission assignment. Nine

And he was actually able to carry out this mission as a silver-armored paladin. Four

In fact, Maka had a bad feeling when he received the news. select

When he arrived at the place, he found that the team was full of warriors who had been injured in the Loves Valley in the past, and his uneasiness became stronger. ④

The only thing that made him feel at ease was that the leader of the team would be the "Blood-stained Holy Hammer" Serbery. ③

But...Thrium

Now Serbery has also left, along with his apprentice. ⑥

He was left with a large group of defeated soldiers, dragging a huge iron box with unknown contents, walking aimlessly towards the depths of the desert. ④

This seemed to be a road to the underworld.

"I have fought for the Holy Church all my life, and this is the ending I got..."

Looking at the night and feeling the evening breeze coming towards him, Maka felt very cold.

The person was cold.

The heart was even colder.

The boiling blood that once boiled as a warrior was now cold.

He gently opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of air, and the hot air condensed into white mist, and finally turned directly into a little frost.

The temperature dropped really quickly...

Is this the night in the desert?

No, isn't it too fast...

Maka suddenly felt something was wrong.

He turned his head and looked behind him. Almost at the same time, he felt a chill in his chest and abdomen.

He lowered his head and saw the extremely cold ice blade piercing his chest and abdomen. In front of him, the black insects with negative light all over their bodies opened their hideous mouthparts.

Darkness enveloped his head, and Maka was frozen into an ice sculpture by the negative light before he could even make a sound.

Then, accompanied by a crisp sound like metal crushing ice crystals, only half of the ice statue pierced by the ice blade remained in the night wind.

Chapter 484 Horrible Old Deng

The dark insect swarm launched a surprise attack under the cover of night. 2

Due to the characteristic of absorbing magic power, ordinary magic detection methods are completely ineffective against the black insect swarm.

When you are aware of their existence and have a basic understanding of them, you can judge their location through the blank space in the magic field. ㈣

But, this Crusader army obviously had no relevant intelligence.

In just a moment, countless black bugs emerged from under the sand and smashed the Crusader camp that was just about to rest. Four

The Crusader army was not in a state of war, and most of them did not even wear armor. After all, not everyone could ignore the armor weighing several kilograms, dozens of kilograms, or even dozens of kilograms. ３

In addition, they were used to using magic for early warning, but they encountered the special characteristics of black bugs. The magic equipment used for early warning did not react at all. Five

Of course, the most important thing is that this team was not a normal army. Lu

The false leader was just a puppet who could only act dully. The real leader died under the double blades of the insect king at the beginning. Private

Just like Mark had sensed something was wrong the whole time, how could these soldiers not feel anything along the way?

Even though they were facing death, a small number of soldiers did not even resist.

As if they had already accepted such an outcome, they just watched the dark beetle press them to the ground quietly, then closed their eyes and accepted their fate.

The remaining Crusader soldiers did try to resist, but without a leader, a group of old, weak and sick people could not organize any decent counterattack. For a while, the whole camp was in chaos.

Lulin, who was in the dark, watched this scene with a frown.

Although he guessed that this unit was a cover, Lulin still did not expect the situation to be so one-sided.
