Chapter 202 Avernus
The unique frequency of the tuning fork allowed the consultant to find the specific location she wanted to go to. As the light of the deep blue teleportation array emerged, everyone disappeared in the room in an instant.
——
Noshier looked at the scenery in front of him. This was his first time to experience such a long-distance teleportation, and he unexpectedly remained quite sober during the teleportation.
He could see that he and others were wrapped in an inexplicable energy, instantly shuttling through a distorted starry sky. Some strange images kept appearing in front of him, but his eyes, which had been strengthened by the eagle totem, could not see what those images were at all?
However, Noshier soon did not have to worry about those images. Maybe it was just a few seconds, or maybe a few minutes had passed. With a flash of white light in front of him, he and everyone instantly broke free from that strange space. A strange feeling of dizziness and vomiting swirled in his brain and stomach, but with a strong physique, Noshier and others withstood this negative reaction.
But when the discomfort caused by the teleportation faded, the scorching air of hell followed closely, and the rolling heat waves rushed towards us. The unknown distant place was still emitting the sound of noisy fighting. The sound was undoubtedly emitted from the battlefield of the bloody battle in the abyss, and the sound could be heard, which meant that it was not far away.
Noshier looked at the surrounding environment. They were located on the streets of a city. It seemed that the consultant's teleportation spell was very accurate. They all entered Eltoril, but the city looked very dilapidated at this time, and there were shaky and collapsed buildings on both sides of the road.
He looked around and did not find any demons or devils around. It seemed that there would be no danger here for the time being, but further exploration was still needed to confirm.
Noshier was the first to recover from the negative state of teleportation. In addition, he had the advantages of flying and appearance, so the task of exploring the surrounding environment was naturally given to him.
But before Noshir could move, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently, almost knocking him to the ground. He looked up, and all he could see was the blood-red smoke everywhere in the sky above Avernus.
As Noshir focused his attention, in the red and smoke-filled sky above the city in the northwest direction, a dark sphere with a diameter of 400 feet (133.3 meters) suddenly lit up with blue light, and then released a huge blue-white lightning. With the lightning came not only thunder, but also another violent vibration.
‘Was the earthquake just now caused by that thing? Such a powerful lightning, wait, after the light faded, that thing seemed a little familiar, that thing was... Banyang! ’
With his powerful eyesight, he saw the thing that made the strange noise. That thing was still Noshir's old friend, but after a long time of separation, he really didn't miss it at all, after all, he was almost killed by it.
‘That thing can actually release lightning? How did these devils make this thing? I remember Scar said before that this thing can also disperse the dead. It is unbelievable that this thing was invented by the devil. How many functions does this big iron ball have? What is it attacking? ’
His questions came one after another, but he soon forced himself to put away those insignificant questions. Now that they have come to hell, the most important thing is to get familiar with the surrounding terrain and then find the resistance forces in the city. Only by finding them can they have a relatively stable residence in hell and support their next actions.
"Eltoril! My home, I am finally back!"
Skar, who came back, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar environment around him, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He once thought that he would never see Eltoril again in his life, but fortunately, fate did not let him down so easily, and he came back again!
"I remember this place, I remember this road, this is Knight Avenue, but it has really changed a lot. That house... that house, I remember it seems to be Hunter's house... why did it collapse?"
Noshier looked at the stunned Scar. Seeing Eltoril in such a miserable state at this time, he must have been greatly shocked.
After hearing Scar's words, Noshier couldn't help but look at the house that collapsed into ruins not far away. His eyes condensed for a moment, and he sighed again. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only walk forward helplessly and pat Scar on the shoulder.
At this time, everyone else also recovered and began to vigilantly surround the original preset formation. Consultant Florrick greeted Noshier and Scar, and the two also came back to their senses and returned to the team, and then followed the team to find a house that was not seriously damaged and hid in it.
This was the plan they had originally discussed. Their team was not too large, but it was not too small either. If they continued to act in groups, they would be easily discovered by the devils or demons wandering in the city, thus causing unnecessary battles.
Their way of dealing with this risk was to first find a relatively safe place to live, and then send out personnel who were suitable for gathering intelligence and personnel who were familiar with the city's terrain to explore the specific situation of the city. After finding valuable clues, they would return and then take the large force to the next destination. Then they would repeat this step until they found Grand Duke Ravengard.
They also had another plan, that is, if there was an error in the teleportation, and they did not reach the city, but directly reached Avernus below the city, then they would stay together, led by Lulu, and let the Iron Guards clear the way, until they passed through the devil and demon army still fighting each other below, and then continue the previous plan after arriving in the city.
However, Advisor Florrick's teleportation technique did not seem to have any errors so far, so they did not need to be so troublesome, and did not need Lulu and Iron Guards, and could directly send people out to gather intelligence. This task fell on Noshir and Scar.
One of them had his skin painted red, and now he looked like a tiefling from Cambion, while the other was a native of Eltoril, and his familiarity with the city was beyond the reach of others. In addition, the two of them had been partners before, so everyone gave this task to them with confidence.
Noshir used the crown to give Tavis instructions, asking him to stay where he was to help cover and protect everyone. Although this guy was very powerful, he was not mobile and was not suitable to follow along to gather intelligence. The most useful thing for him at the moment was to stay here to help provide cover.
After everything was explained, Noshir followed Scar to leave the house, and then according to the characteristics of the crown to sense the evil spirits, he sensed that there was a large group of evil spirits gathered in the west of the city.
Then Noshir constructed a rough map in his mind based on the location of the evil spirits sensed by the crown, and came to a conclusion, that is, the specific location of their group was probably on the eastern edge of the entire city, and after confirming this, he immediately pulled Scar to explore westward.
At this time, Scar looked at his dilapidated hometown and fell into great anger and sadness, but he did not show it, but turned this anger and shame into a more determined power of faith.
He now clenched the warhammer and shield in his hands. Now the only desire in his heart was to fight a desperate battle with the devils and demons that invaded his hometown, so he ignored the slight abnormality on the shield in his hand.
But Noshiel didn't.
He saw with his own eyes that the magic light on the shield began to shine slightly. In fact, since they came to hell, the shield has been in this state, but more than ten minutes have passed, except for some very subtle magic light flashing, there is no additional change.
Noshiel knew what this meant. After Gargos came to hell, he wanted to use the environment of hell to break through the seal set by the Seraphim, but it seems that he failed miserably. After the light continued to shine slightly for more than ten minutes, it ushered in a complete silence.
And this ending was naturally expected by Noshiel. After all, the panel had long said that it was not so easy to unseal this shield, and Noshiel, who sensed the lost emotion of Gargos in the shield, twitched the corner of his mouth.
He had already thought of a way to deal with him.
