Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 628 Strange Underground Passage
Ezra hesitated for a moment, then neatly gave up his position to Komlan, who was poking him from behind.

"Stop pretending and get down there! That hole isn't going to suddenly get wider just because you're bigger."

Comlan changed his position and decisively kicked Mal, who was frowning and bending over, and sent him down directly, and then jumped down himself.

Ezra was startled. "Isn't there a staircase?"

He quickly half-knelt on the ground and looked inside, then he suddenly realized why these two guys didn't care at all... A long white feather emerged from Mal and Comlan's heads, hanging on them like an umbrella and floating down.

Ezra could even judge from the flickering light on the feather that it had at least two spells: magic shield and long-range weapon protective film.

The so-called protective film is a flowing wind layer that can dissipate the damage of powerful arrows layer by layer.

It sounds simple, but in reality this thing is so expensive that only great nobles can use it.

A magical artifact with this function requires at least several types of wind gems... Due to the existence of the Church of Storms, wind gems have always been much more expensive than stones of other attributes. The only one that can be compared with them is the moonstone.

But the output of Wind Gem is much higher than that of Moon Stone!

Anyway, when they reach a high level, their skin is thick enough and they have their own protective force field, so not all weapons can penetrate their defense.

When they go to the battlefield, they must wear armor that suits their status.

Then this ranged weapon protection spell is really useless... It would be better to exchange the Wind Gem for something more valuable from the Church of the Storm.

Most knights, even those at level 16, must have many hidden injuries.

Potions with higher restorative properties are basically produced by the Church of the Earth.

The products of the Church of Earth are impossible for ordinary nobles to buy. Even though the two churches often have disputes in secret, the Church of Storm has everything.

Ezra was silent, no, he sighed loudly.

His men gathered around him and exclaimed in unison: "What a rich guy!"

A giant claw stretched out and pushed them aside one by one like a groundhog, "Lori made those himself. You don't need to buy them."

"Labor is expensive, and gemstones are even more expensive!" Ezra, who was slapped next to him, said unconvinced.

"Oh, the wind gems we used for them were all the remnants of our claws. Lori took them and recycled them. Otherwise, we would have buried them in the mountains." The Wind Wolf King said calmly, "So, do you still want to go down?"

Ezra took a deep breath and said, “What people fear most is comparison.

And how are you going to get down there?"

The smallest Wind Wolf here is bigger than the Vargas Horse!

The Wind Wolf King glanced at him as if he were a fool and said, "Then we'll go first."

Then he turned into a gust of wind and rushed down with several huge wind wolves.

Ezra slapped himself in frustration.

"Count, do we still need to go down?" His men couldn't help asking... The stairs in this cave were extremely simple, connected to the cave wall by simple steel cables and wooden boards. Even though they were fully armed, they couldn't even step in even half a step with their boots on it.

If they were attacked halfway, they would probably just fall into a bunch.

However, the people from Qingfeng County had already gone down first after discovering the situation, so there is unlikely to be any more attacks.

Then they were left with the ugly climb.

"What can we do?" Ezra sighed. "Hamilton is the border lord."

He stretched out one foot and began to slowly climb down: "Why do I feel like I'm going to the sewer?"

“That’s not the case. It’s not that wide.” His men watched his movements carefully but kept talking, “If it were someone without armor, they could do it both up and down at the same time.

However, Count, judging from the other party's ability, they should all be able to turn into flames, so there is no need to work so hard. "

"Don't I know?" Ezra responded impatiently as he struggled to move down, "Stop talking nonsense and get down here!"

The knight looked down in embarrassment: "What if I don't catch it? It will fall on your head...ah!"

The other knight couldn't stand his nonsense and kicked him down.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and grabbed the railing in time.

Of course, if they didn’t have this kind of reaction speed, they wouldn’t have been able to follow Ezra for so many years.

They are all people who have experienced avalanches.

The reason they kept talking nonsense was that they didn't want Qingfeng to be the last one to go down... Although the Wind Wolf King had led a few wolves down, there were still a dozen big wolves surrounding dozens of knights and waiting quietly!
Unfortunately, these wolves are really patient and remain indifferent no matter what they say.

The trust level of Qingfeng Territory is still very high among them. Hamilton's knights struggled for a while and finally chose to face the reality... They must enter last, but it is a habit they have developed in the army for many years. They will never let strangers close the door, and it is even more impossible to let the other party to suppress them.

Of course, the main reason is the people left on the ground, whose strength is too far apart. Even if the other party is a trustworthy ally, they still can't control their sense of crisis.

After taking another look at Palacios and Castor who were protected by the Wind Wolves, the knight made up his mind and began to climb down... The fighting power of Qingfeng Territory could still be trusted.

He always felt that among the group of wolves remaining in the hall, there were a few who gave him a stronger sense of oppression than the Wind Wolf King.

Qing Feng understood how to use dragons to train his knights, and the royal family would naturally not waste such a good opportunity.

Beings like them who hold both military rank and the status of palace guards... this was something Ezra had fought for himself.

Because of his money, he couldn't afford to support so many knights above level 12.

After repeatedly failing to send high-ranking knights to act on their own, Ezra simply chose to give them half of the royal status.

Then, you can naturally get double salary.

The royal family does not have high demands on people like them. They are not required to stay in the palace to stand guard. However, when the royal family needs rescue, they must respond immediately as royal guards.

But, as long as they followed Ezra, this matter was originally their responsibility.

So the knights agreed without hesitation.

In fact, they never expected Ezra to provide too many resources, they just didn't want to leave his side.

Then every extra point you get is wasted.

However, the most difficult battle they had ever imagined for themselves had not involved a route like today's... The knights who were carefully holding onto the steel cables and climbing down bit by bit were in a bad mood.

The only thing to be thankful for is that although it looks like crawling into a sewer, in this deep cave, there is only a dry and sticky smell.
-
The further Ezra climbed, the heavier his heart felt.

Something doesn't seem right.

How could a god who needed a lot of blood be a pure fire god?

He tilted his head and glanced down.

A wolf's tail extending from one corner made him feel a little relieved.

When His Majesty Travis arranged for him to take over Hamilton, he solemnly reminded him that in matters concerning gods, especially gods from the outside world, he must follow Lowry's steps.

Even Travis himself doesn't know more about those beings than Lori does.

Ezra didn't quite understand either.

But from what His Majesty Travis said, the inheritance of the White Dragon, especially that of Ruth Kania, is a bit crooked.

Their views on man, God, and even the universe are not suitable for human perspectives.

On the contrary, Lowry's neutral dragon heritage would be more fair.

At least he wouldn't say to a very serious god with whom he could communicate that he would just go crazy.

Nor would they point to a god who is not suitable for human communication and say that they can have a chat... But the inheritance of Ruthcania would ignore a premise: humans cannot defeat such a being that will be obedient as long as they are defeated.

It was only after Travis suffered a few losses that he realized that some of Ruth Kania's memories were a bit tricky.

Fortunately, Lowry came along later, so he was able to find the other party to find out the truth and balance out that somewhat distorted perception a little.

Ezra felt relieved when he saw that the people and wolves from Qingfeng Territory had no intention of charging directly... It seemed that His Majesty Travis was still very reliable and knew to say hello to Master Lori beforehand.

Otherwise, the enemy wouldn't have to wait for these heavy-armored knights who were holding them back.

There is no doubt that the Wind Wolf King is powerful, and the knights on their side are here just to gain merit.

After moving to the end of the ladder with difficulty, Ezra looked at the dust and dirt below, then pulled the steel cable and slowly and gently lowered himself to the ground.

"Remember, don't jump." He looked up and warned, then quickly left the cylindrical dungeon.

Mal and Comlan were standing in a tunnel that was ten meters wide and four meters high, talking in low voices, with a thick piece of leather stretched between them.

Most of the wolves were still in the wind state, with only two regaining their wolf form.

Ezra walked over quickly: "How is it? Is there any danger ahead?"

"The biggest problem is the lack of danger." Mal loosened one hand and tapped the leather in front of him. "The three-dimensional living map made by our lord cannot allow us to see the routes we have not walked, but... it can allow us to see the areas where elemental energy gathers ahead, or where the flesh and blood power is particularly abundant.

There is nothing in this tunnel."

"They come and go in flames, and only the knight servants who know nothing need to take this route." Ezra thought for a moment before saying, "Could it be that as long as they sense that the energy properties passing through the tunnel are not consistent, it will trigger some trap?"
