The Paladin in the Abyss

Chapter 325: 339 Gaomendikolia

Chapter 325: Chapter 339 Gaomendikolia

This city contrasted sharply with Melanthan in many ways. The city of the Aira was like a giant garden, except for the castle built by the Protectors to convene meetings and hold ceremonies, there were hardly any tall structures, and they were all constructed to harmonize with the surrounding environment as much as possible.

However, in Gaomendikolia, everything was of a different state. The architecture here was dominated by towering towers that were built twisted and askew, as if their owners had changed their minds halfway through construction, thinking it was more important to block out the adjacent buildings than their own. The result was buildings entwined like vines, which made anyone who saw or lived within them feel extremely awkward.

Of course, the most significant difference lay in the inhabitants of the two cities. Melanthan was filled with Aira children and Protectors who had volunteered to come here. They came not for any benefits, knowing well they would face the most terrifying enemies of the Multiverse, yet still resolved to protect those pure and innocent children.

The Demon city ahead, on the other hand, was full of self-important adventurers, and day-dreamers aspiring to ascend the ranks in a single bound. They firmly believed that Cang Ye was definitely their never-before-seen mother, or grandmother, or maybe the grandmother’s grandmother; in any case, one of their charming male ancestors must have once been favored by the Mother of Demons. And once they managed to catch the attention of Cang Ye, she would surely recognize their blood relationship immediately.

As for evidence? Wasn’t their own handsome and striking appearance the best proof?@@@@

What followed was mostly good fortune, such as being granted power, magic power body infusion, and the like. As for how it might unfold, well, perhaps their appearance could remind the Mother of Demons of that handsome ancestor? With their intelligence, and the power bestowed by the Mother of Demons, it wouldn’t be impossible to become the next Grazzt or to recreate the deeds of the Wolf Spider Miska and the Consort of Chaos, unify the Abyss, and conquer all worlds.

As the silhouette of Gaomendikolia gradually became clear within their sight, Lancelot and his companions couldn’t help but feel a surge of tension. They each took out the mercenary emblems from Twin Bridges Town and donned them in some concealed spot.

These emblems played a very important role, in that they rendered ineffective the intrinsic detection of good abilities possessed by many Fiends. This detection ability was somewhat akin to the sensation living beings have of ghosts, where even if invisible to the eye, the presence of ghosts nearby still made people extremely uncomfortable. For Demons, who were both hot-headed and exceedingly cunning, this sensation put them on alert, paying attention to any unfamiliar faces nearby, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Yet these emblems could render such innate passive detection abilities ineffective, but if a Spellcaster were to use an active detection spell on them, it would still yield true information. However, this level was already sufficient; the ability to actively detect good was only deployable by High Rank Demons and Middle Rank Demon Spellcasters, and in most cases, they had specific targets, eliminating the need to use this ability spontaneously.

“We are General Ulgog’s conscription team, and you have been conscripted!” a tiny voice called from below. The group looked down and saw a diminutive Quasimodo Demon, “Come with us, now, immediately! Unless you hand over half of your possessions as compensation...”

The Quasimodo Demon was even shorter than the Halfling Koula, which took those familiar with Dingke a bit by surprise, but in fact, this was the normal size for such a cunning little demon.

“Step aside,” Lancelot said coldly, “you’ve got the wrong person.”

“Huh? You dare speak to Captain Flog like that?” The Quasimodo Demon clearly hadn’t expected such a reaction from the Human Knight in front of it, and flustered, it slapped the shining plate armor on the back of the Berserk Demon, “Do you know how many people Captain Flog has killed on the battlefield? It could rip you apart as easily as crushing a few cockroaches...”

“In that armor?” Lancelot interrupted bluntly, “I’ll say it again, step aside, and go perform your clumsy scam on someone else.”

His forceful attitude left not only the demons in front of him somewhat nonplussed but even his companions quite surprised. Bruto poked Lancelot’s arm and asked loudly:

“Big Brother, how do you know they’re bluffing?”
