The knight in the abyss

Chapter 890 She is gone
"Something happened in Shuangqiao Town."

There was something special in the voice of the Lord of Death. Lancelot stood in the sunshine that he hadn't seen for a long time, but felt that he was in an ice cellar.He reached into his collar and pulled out the necklace he was wearing. The pendant at the end of the necklace was the amulet with the emblem of Twinbridge Town—once activated, the magic on the amulet would immediately teleport him back to Tijana By his side, by his lover.

But at this moment, Lancelot felt very clearly that the talisman had changed.The original amulet had some kind of strong magical bond, but now that bond is as fragile as a spider's thread, gently floating in the invisible etheric wind, like seaweed in the water.

"Lancelot, what's the matter?"

Aramiel walked up to Lancelot and asked him softly.The rest of the partners also gathered around, and everyone noticed the abnormality of the human knight. After all, he has always been the one who is the most stable and calm in the team, but Lancelot's expression now is like a piece of winter. It is as cold and hard as the stone in it, and anyone can see that something is wrong.

"Catch me." Lancelow didn't explain too much, but said in a low tone, "Let's go back to Shuangqiao Town."

Hearing this, the partners looked at each other in confusion, but out of trust in the human knight, they all did so without asking any questions, while Kelemvor stood quietly by the side, maintaining a professional silence .

Tijana...

Lancelow called out his lover's name softly, but he couldn't help turning some distracting thoughts in his mind—it seemed that every time his adventure ended, something bad would happen to Shuangqiao Town?
After he repeated it three times, the magic on the amulet was still activated, but the pulling force was too weak to pull everyone into the astral realm for teleportation.Suddenly, a palm-sized space crack appeared in the air in front of Lancelot, and an object flew out of it, heading straight for the human knight who created the crack.

Lancelot raised his arm quickly, took the object in his hand, took a closer look, and found that he was holding a handkerchief exuding a familiar fragrance, which was the entrance to the demiplane created by Tijana.At the same time, a hasty voice sounded in Lancelot's heart:

'Go to the dwarven temple, my love, please...'

The sound transmission stopped abruptly, leaving only a disturbing silence.He slowly raised his head, staring closely at Kelemvor who was pursing his lips tightly, his eye sockets were already bloodshot.

"What happened?" Lancelot asked in a hoarse voice, which made the other partners shudder, "I want to know every detail..."

"I cannot reveal the memory of the dead." The Lord of the Dead replied in a tone without any emotion, but added, "This is the rule."

"I understand." Lancelot nodded stiffly, "So, is there anything you can tell me, Great Lord of the Dead?"

"...About three days ago, an army of demons of unprecedented scale raided Shuangqiao Town. They were flying a black flag with a six-fingered palm symbol. The leader was Grazte himself." Kelemvor replied lightly, "Shuangqiao Town has fallen, and her master... was killed on the spot in the battle with the enemy commander. There are many witnesses."

Although he had roughly guessed it, Lancelot was still shocked by the news.Tijana?was killed?how can that be?She is one of the most powerful fighters he has ever seen, and her body skills have completely exceeded the limits of ordinary people's cognition, not to mention that Tijana is also a high-level warlock, and can perfectly combine melee combat and spellcasting .Although Graz'zt, as one of the three giants of the abyss, must be much stronger than the succubus lord, but in Lancelot's view, even if Tijana can't beat him, he will definitely be able to run away. Why was he directly defeated in the battle? killed?
From the perspective of others, the human knight took two steps back abruptly, as if he had been punched in the face.He quickly turned his face to a direction where no one was there, raised his head slightly, and said nothing.

"Well, the Lord of the Dead... Your Excellency." Brutal rubbed his nose, and looked at Kelemvor hesitantly, "Our sister-in-law... Will she go to you after death?"

"Tijana is a succubus, a type of Tanari, a plane creature." Caralin was worried that the god would be angered by the stupid question of the young dwarf, so he answered first, "Only the soul of a mortal will die. Go to the Obscure Realm, and where the plane creature goes after death... depends on the rules of the plane itself. Generally speaking, the "essence" of a plane creature that dies on a non-native plane will return to its original plane, Or rebirth, such as the three major demon races; or merge with the plane itself, such as the three great heavenly races. However, if the plane creatures are killed in the original plane, they will die completely, unless..."

"Demon talisman, right?" Brutal slapped his hands, "I remember what you said before, the demon lord can cut a small part of his own essence to make a talisman, so that when they are killed in the abyss , you can be resurrected with the help of this talisman. Hey! Lancelot, don’t worry, Tijana must have prepared that talisman long ago. Maybe when we return to Shuangqiao Town, my sister-in-law has already been resurrected and waited. You..."

"...she is gone, I can feel it."

The deep and hoarse voice floated from Lancelow's back, and the emotion contained in it was so strong that everyone present felt an uncontrollable grief.After saying this, Lancelot shook his head lightly, then turned around, and there was no abnormal expression on his face.

"But I will find out what happened," he declared to the mortals and gods present, "and do my best to bring her back to life, no matter how difficult or costly it may be."

"Dangerous speech." Kelenvor commented, "I know that many tragedies start from similar speeches, and some of the costs are simply unbearable."

"Thank you for the reminder, Great Lord of the Dead."

"Lancelot..." The young dwarf looked at his human partner sympathetically, "Then shall we...start now?"

"Well, after we finish all the work here." Lancelot turned to look at Kelemvor again, "Great Lord of the Dead, you promised us another reward before, a kind of reward that can help us hide our identities." The magic mask, for our next mission, that thing will be very helpful."

"Ah, of course, you did everything I asked for..."

Kelemvor stretched out his palm, and there were six ordinary gold coins out of thin air, but soon, the coins began to melt and deform, and in just a few breaths, each coin turned into a thin sheet With a wave of the god, the mask flew into the hands of the companions—including the old dwarf Barend, each of them had a share.

"Go and say goodbye to those friends." Kelemvor said in a suggestive tone, "Maybe the next time we meet, it will be in my hall... Come back in an hour, and I will invite the Queen of Crows You were sent back to the abyss."

　First of all, I still want to say sorry to all the veterans. The three-month agreement was agreed, but it was still overdue. I am really very, very ashamed and sorry!During this period of time, I have been extremely busy at work. I have not been home for a month and a half and have been on business trips. Although the 630 sprint is over, the result is not very satisfactory, so I will still be very busy. Next Most of the updates cannot be guaranteed to be stable. I will try my best to write more as soon as I have time under the premise that I will not be fired...
