The knight in the abyss

Chapter 355 The experience of failure

Everyone sat around the dining table and enjoyed the halfling chef's just-right baked works.Even little Isa was gnawing on a slice of apple pie.Lancelot was sure that she must have fallen asleep just now, but the little girl had an unparalleled love for desserts, and she almost got out of the dimension bag in a state of sleepwalking.

"Based on what you just described, I think what those people met were like shadow demons." Karaline said to Camone while eating, "Some people call them shadow demons."

"What's that?" Brutal asked eagerly, "Can my hammer do any damage to them?"

"Shadow Fiends are incorporeal creatures just like the demons and banshees we encountered before. This kind of demons are immune to attacks from ordinary weapons, but your hammer is equipped with powerful magic, which can cause normal damage to them. It just feels a bit strange." The scholar patiently explained for the dwarf, "This kind of demon's claw machine is not physical, but directly tears the target's mind, that's why the armor can't protect the brave dwarf warrior .”

Camon on the side opened his mouth wide in surprise, shocked by the scholar's understatement.Drow is a race that often deals with the lower planes. They think they already know demons very well, but scholars are like an encyclopedia of the abyss. Features and weaknesses are also crystal clear.

"Most of the scholars of the sect believe that the Shadow Fiend is not advanced from a lower form like other demons." Kara Lin didn't notice the expression of the bald drow, and continued with great interest, "There are many demons. Evidence shows that this kind of demon is a product of 'accident': when a demon is killed by some special magic in other planes, its essence cannot be resurrected normally after returning to the abyss, but transforms into this formless state."

Having said that, he involuntarily looked at Elotesia, who shrugged helplessly (and the wings behind her), "Don't look at me, I don't know much about these..."

"But their weakness is also obvious, that is light - this is a bit like the dark elves. Under strong light, the shadow demons will be blind like us humans in the dark, and the upper body will show a vague human silhouette with wings. "Kalarin continued, "Due to their incorporeal nature, shadow demons can pass through any entity, but they cannot stay inside the entity, nor do they have the ability to see through the entity. If we encounter such a demon, we must immediately Kill him, or soon the entire fortress will know we're coming."

"Then, the first infiltration attempt fell into the hands of this unexpected enemy." Lancelot nodded. "Does this kind of demon have the ability to see through invisibility or camouflage?"

"Only some high-level demons are born with that ability, but middle-level demons can also rely on magic items to obtain real vision." Kara Lin explained, and did not forget to confirm with Helotesia after speaking, "Is this the case? "

"Yes." The succubus was not humble this time, and nodded bluntly, "Actually, you know more about demons than I do. You don't have to ask me for advice all the time. If there is anything that I know If it's different, I'll point it out directly."

"Thank you!" The succubus' affirmation made Karalin look very happy, "Lancelo, I believe that your martial skill of making the blade shine will be able to quickly eliminate such demons, and they will not become a big trouble."

"Okay." Lancelot nodded, and continued to ask Kamon and Axian, "You mentioned that there were two operations. What happened to the second one?"

"The second time was 30 years ago. Only two elves participated in the operation." Kamon looked at Axiian, "They claimed to be your deputy."

"Tarashiel Morningstar and Dalana Morningstar, and two hundred other elf warriors came with me from Selien, but I never regarded them as subordinates." Axiian's face was a little gloomy , "They are the best rangers I have ever seen, and I still don't understand why they failed..."

"They didn't seem to trust me very much, and they didn't leave me a message until before the operation started, so that I could be ready to respond." Kamoen said with a frown, "I lay down at the scheduled location all night, hacked seven or eight There was a poisonous snake, but nothing came. There was no movement from the fortress, and I once believed that they must have succeeded, but unfortunately nothing came in the end."

"How did they sneak in?" Brutal asked curiously, "Are they also pretending to be slaves?"

"No, they didn't discuss it with me." Camone spread his hands, "When I arrived, the two of them had already gone in, but I noticed that the guards on one of the towers were gone, so they probably jumped over the wall directly .”

"That's not difficult for them." Aksian nodded, "I'm more concerned about why they failed..."

"Maybe they were caught in some kind of powerful magic trap, which caused them to lose their fighting power directly." Caraline speculated, "If there are only two people, the other one may not be able to rescue them in time, and they may even fall into the trap together."

"When I went in, it was almost undefended inside." Aksian scratched his head, "Damn it, can those demons remember the location of the trap by themselves..."

"The demons are crazy, but they are not stupid." Karaline shook his head, "There must be unguarded passages and secret rooms in the fortress, but don't underestimate the enthusiasm of the demons to arm their lairs. If we are careful, Advance while searching, you should be able to discover those traps in advance, but this will take a lot of time, "

"So what are we going to do?" Brutal swallowed the last pie that belonged to him contentedly, and belched and said, "The trick of pretending to be a slave sounds good, why don't we try it?"

"I don't think so...Did you notice the checkpoints at the outer entrance on the mountain today? Those guards looked very carefully, and it was difficult for us to hide the equipment." Aksian shook his head, "Besides, You really don't look like a slave, and occasionally dwarves make it to the south of the Hoffenstein River, they are all skinny, and if they didn't have beards, you would definitely confuse them with dwarves."

"Are you trying to say that I'm too strong?" Brutal bent his arms happily, "Look at my well-developed muscles! Hmm... You said that I have been swinging the hammer with my right hand, will it cause my right arm to become bigger? How thick is the left arm?"

"I'm sure your left arm is getting a good workout too." Karaline rolled his eyes. "I mean, your shield looks heavy too..."
