Chapter 65 Tristram Library
With a loud bang, the double-headed flail blasted open the gate of the monastery that was blocked by countless debris. The debris and rotten wood exuding a rotten smell were scattered everywhere. The heavy door was broken into pieces and shot out like a cannonball, immediately knocking down a large number of sharp blade demons.
"Rakanishu." The sharp blade demons panicked and turned around and ran away like rabbits. They were like their close relatives, the fallen demons, timid and cowardly, and very easily frightened.
Virgil blasted open the gate of the monastery and rushed out with the ferocious double-headed flail. The iron chain rustled, and the iron balls at both ends were as big as a human head, covered with sharp barbs. The short sharp blade demons could not resist such a weapon at all, and they would die if they touched it. In the blink of an eye, a large open space had been cleared at the door.
The sharp blade demons hid more than 20 meters away in horror. They looked at the tin can that rushed out like a demon in fear, and no blade demon dared to surround and kill it.
With a light rustling sound, Lan Ya floated above a blade demon that was killed by the fragments of the door panel, and quickly completed the possession. She stood up from the ground and immediately activated the thorn halo.
Then, Lan Wu and his party rushed out of the monastery with Afafu and Bruna leading the way. Lan Wu glanced around and did not see the figure of Lakanishu, so he immediately urged: "Hurry up, let's go back to the camp."
With the hurried shouting, the land in front of the monastery suddenly rumbled and shook, and quickly bulged high. Not long after, the clay stone demon climbed out of the mud. It was Lan Wu who changed the bone staff and summoned it out.
"The teleportation array is over there." Virgil picked up the double-headed flail that was still stained with blood, and rushed to the abandoned city first.
Lan Wu quickly made arrangements. The clay stone demon and Lan Ya and the other three skeletons followed Virgil. Kane and Volod, the two with the weakest physical strength, followed closely behind Lan Ya and the others. He and Irene worked together to guard the rear.
Without the most powerful Lakanishu, these sharp blade demons whose strength was reduced by 30% could not stop this team of killing gods at all. They fled and entered the endless ruins. The group successfully broke through the siege and entered the ruins.
Virgil was obviously very familiar with this ruin. He led Lan Wu and his group through the ruins and entered the central city of Tristram.
This was obviously the main battlefield when the demons invaded. There was basically no relatively complete building in this ruin. The remaining walls of one meter or half a meter stood in the charred ruins, silently showing Lan Wu and his group the cruelty of the fierce battle that year.
"That... that is the Tristram Library." Kane's attention was attracted by a tall building in the distance, and his voice trembled.
"I saw it on a scroll. It is said that all the knowledge at that time is collected there." Kane was very excited and stared at the library at least a kilometer away. For an enthusiastic scholar, this library is simply a gold mine.
"We can't go back yet." Kane looked greedily at the library that was not destroyed in the fierce battle that year, and shouted enthusiastically: "We must go there to take a look."
Virgil stopped when he heard the voice, and looked back at Lan Wu, his eyes full of questions. Obviously, he already trusted Lan Wu very much and needed Lan Wu to make a decision.
Warrod and Irene also cast their eyes on Lan Wu. Needless to say, these two people simply regarded Lan Wu as the backbone.
Lan Wu hesitated. He glanced at Warrod quickly, and then quickly retracted his gaze. There is such a son of doom in the team, and going to the library now will probably be unlucky. He is more inclined to send this son of doom back to the camp, and then bring Kane back for archaeology.
"If those books are not destroyed, there must be knowledge of the magical structure of the teleportation array." Kane suddenly restrained and looked at Lan Wu with a sharp gaze.
Lan Wu understood something. This sloppy-looking bald old man is indeed one of the leaders of the Rogue Camp. Seeing that the Tristram Library was not destroyed, the first thing that came to mind was to try to obtain the knowledge of the ancient teleportation array magic structure and repair the dilapidated teleportation array in the camp that was overwhelmed.
Think about it carefully. Once the teleportation array in the camp is repaired, even if Bishuboshu's mutant fallen demon army besieged the Rogue Camp, it doesn't matter. The professionals and civilians in the camp can also escape to other places through the teleportation array. The camp is certainly not safe, but the people are alive after all.
As long as people are there, the existence of the Rogue Camp is no longer important.
"Understood." Lan Wu smiled and cast his eyes on Virgil.
Virgil understood Lan Wu's thoughts and immediately turned to the library and walked towards it with a group of people.
Tristram has been sealed for thousands of years, revealing a dead silence. There is no wind, no rain, and no sun here. But the sky is as bright as day, and no one knows where the light comes from. This land outside the world still retains the tragic scene when it was destroyed.
The library seems to be only a kilometer away. But as the saying goes, a horse will die if it is seen from a mountain. It took more than an hour for Lanwu and his party to arrive at the library. It was not until they stood in front of this magnificent building that Lanwu and his party realized the prosperity of Tristram in the past.
Standing in front of the giant archway that was about 100 meters high, Lanwu and his party seemed as inconspicuous as ants. In the square in front of the archway stood a statue of the emblem of the Samlanka Church. The angels and demons were carved lifelike, so fine that every line on the exposed skin was clearly visible.
This statue has been destroyed, with only a section about 20 meters high remaining. The angel and the demon's body above the knee has turned into a pile of rubble, scattered on a huge square with a radius of about 500 meters.
The tall base, as well as the legs of the giant angel and the demon are covered with scratches of varying depths. They silently told Lan Wu and his party that this area had also suffered ruthless wars in the past.
Kane was no longer able to appreciate this statue, which was only half left. Even though this statue was the pinnacle of King Leo Rick's time, it didn't allow him to spare a bit of thought. He stared at the towering building behind the giant arch, and looked back at Lan Wu from time to time. That look clearly urged everyone to hurry up and find precious ancient knowledge inside.
Lan Wu smiled and called on Volod and others to fulfill Kane's wish as soon as possible. The group passed through the nearly 20-meter arch and walked to this magnificent building full of the style of King Leo Rick's time.
"Wait." Virgil, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and warned: "There are unclean undead creatures inside."
Without his reminder, Lan Wu and his companions had already seen the messy footprints left on the steps. These footprints were large and small. The large ones were similar to those of ordinary humans, while the small ones were only the size of a baby's foot.
"Lakanishu." When Lan Wu saw the small footprints mixed in with those human footprints, the first thought that flashed through his mind was the missing Lakanishu. And these human footprints might be the little BOSS who imprisoned Kane in the game, Griswald.
How did these two little BOSSes get mixed together?
Lan Wu looked strangely and looked up at the gate that was more than ten meters high. The gate was open, and behind it was a long corridor, and it could be clearly seen that the corridor was decorated with decorations full of the style of King Leoric's period.
After thinking for a while, Lan Wu put on his fist sword and whispered, "I will go in with you. You stay outside to support me."
"I will go with you." Volod asked with full loyalty.
"I must go. Only I can distinguish the magic structure of the ancient teleportation array." Kane's request was more reasonable.
Virgil said nothing, but raised his double-headed flail and shield and looked at Lan Wu firmly. His meaning was self-evident. He also wanted to go in and eliminate the unclean undead creatures and demons.
Lan Wu looked at Kane and Volod, two weak guys, and then at Virgil's tin can-like armor, and shook his head decisively to reject it: "I just want to sneak in and see the situation. Without accurate information, rushing in will destroy this surviving library."
"You... I'm afraid you can't escape if you encounter danger." Lan Wu's eyes moved to Kane and Volod, very determined.
"And you... unless you are willing to take off this armor, they will find you as soon as you enter the door." Lan Wu's eyes moved to Virgil's face again, and his tone was firm.
Kane and Volod stopped talking. Virgil blushed and finally chose to give up. He always remembered that he was a Crusader. As a Crusader, he would never take off his armor.
Lan Wu smiled, called Irene and started to accelerate at the same time. The two quickly entered the gate and soon disappeared from the sight of Virgil and the other two.
Passing through the long corridor, Lan Wu and Irene entered the main hall of the library. This is a wide and empty hall. The air is dry and filled with an unpleasant smell of decay. Although it has been thousands of years, the ground is still clean and smooth, with almost no dust. There are about twenty doors distributed on the surrounding walls, which seem to be the entrances to various library rooms.
While observing, Irene suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes and raised her hand to point to the entrance in front. He looked up and found that the door was half-closed, revealing a gap. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell that this door is different from other doors. He immediately winked at Irene and approached quietly.
When he reached the entrance, Lan Wu suddenly realized. The reason why this door was half-closed was that the rotten bolt had fallen off halfway. Obviously someone had entered from here. Just as he was about to ask Irene to go in and investigate, he suddenly heard a few vague conversations from behind the door.
"The Demon King needs... We must find..."
"Believe me... It's hidden here."
Lan Wu's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a gesture to keep silent, carefully pushed open the half-closed door and went in. When Irene followed in, the two of them followed the sound along the dim corridor.
This corridor was not long. After a while, a ray of light appeared in front. Lan Wu patted Irene, indicating that she would stay here as a support, and then he groped over alone. When he reached the light, it was another door. He dodged into the shadows and poked out half of his head to look inside.
Lakanishu.
He saw the yellow-skinned sharp blade demon at first sight. Then a giant man in armor with his back to him walked into his field of vision.
