Chapter 643 An Unexpected Discovery
The Underdark is as dark as ever.
Fairy looked at the passage and stared at the guards around him with dissatisfaction, waiting for the report from the scouts ahead.
Since the news came out from the First Family, many families have dispatched their own patrol guards to search for any suspicious outsiders in the areas surrounding the city. But there was nothing gained. Apart from occasionally encountering a few gray dwarves and goblins, there was no progress.
Did Mother Angst really receive Rose's oracle?
This idea floated through Feierui's mind for a moment, and then he gave up immediately. The crime of forging an oracle is very serious, and even the matron of the first family cannot escape unscathed. And seeing that the First Family is indeed working very hard in this search, it is difficult for anyone to doubt that this is the conspiracy of Mother Angst.
But that doesn't mean things are as simple as the rumors say.
At this moment, a drow elf soldier hurriedly ran back. His steps were as light as a cat's. There was no sound, and he didn't speak. Instead, he quickly gestured with his finger at Fairy - Drow The elves always move quietly after leaving the city, and they exchange information with each other through a series of sign languages. Even in the dark, Fairy could see the meaning of the other party's sign language.
"Lady Fegina wants you to lead the team to join her immediately and make some discoveries."
"What discovery?"
Looking at the other party, Fairy's expression was a little gloomy. She gestured fiercely and asked, and the latter answered quickly.
"A secret tomb passage, a tomb."
"Tsk————!"
Seeing this, Fairy couldn't help but clicked his tongue. The Underdark is mysterious and complex, and there are many things hidden in it. The same is naturally true for tombs. In fact, many tombs from ancient times will be buried deep in the Underdark, and will eventually be discovered for one reason or another.
These tombs are very dangerous, but also contain considerable benefits. If you are lucky, you can find relics from ancient times or even artifacts in the tomb, but if you are unlucky, such as disturbing the slumber of a lich - well, that's another story.
Of course Feirui understood the meaning of Fagina calling him to go. They were both members of the third family, Fagina was the eldest daughter and Fei Rui was the second daughter. Fegina has always been ambitious and wanted to become the mistress of the third family. At the same time, she was also very careful about the sisters coming from behind.
So Fairy knew very well that it was obviously not a good thing for his sister to ask him to go.
However, she still bit the bullet and led her soldiers into the depths of the passage in the Underdark. Then beside a passage, Fairy saw her Feigina and the soldiers she led.
"elder sister."
Feirui did not speak, but quickly gestured with his fingers and greeted Fegina in sign language.
"Well done, my dear sister."
Fagina responded and pointed at the cave in front of her.
"I discovered a tomb that has not been explored yet. How about we go in and take a look?"
"……………………"
Fairy hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She didn't know whether Fegina had really discovered something, or wanted to take the opportunity to bury herself in the Underdark, or both. But now she had no choice, so she nodded, then made a gesture, leading her soldiers and Fegina into the cave in front of her.
There is indeed an ancient tomb inside, but perhaps because it was so long ago, almost everything here has weathered, and only some artificial remains can be barely recognized.
"There's nothing here."
Fairy released a magical spell, and then showed a dissatisfied expression.
"This is just an empty ruin."
"We'll find out when we get in."
Fagina ignored her sister's protest and just walked forward. Feirui followed her bravely. She didn't know how Fagina planned to deal with her. What was the accident? murder? Or is there another plan? But Feirui is certain that Faegina must have a good reason to achieve her goal. After all, she is also a priest of the Spider Queen, not one of those lowly men.
As Fairey said, the entire tomb looked empty. Whatever was there before, it seemed to be completely empty now. But Fegina didn't seem to care. She just walked forward, while Feierui walked beside her, secretly holding the five-headed snake whip beside her with her fingers, and at the same time thinking about what if she really killed it. I lost my sister, so how should I explain this to my mother.
"Oh, we found something."
Fergina's voice suddenly sounded, startling Fairy. She raised her head and looked forward. She could see a chair at the end of the tomb in front of her, with a white skeleton wearing a robe sitting on it. It looked like an unlucky mage, and behind the remains of the mage stood a tall, dark humanoid construct. Its armor had the marks of a skull and a warhammer, and a strange, A symbol in the shape of a double-headed eagle.
Maybe it's that mage's mark?
"That's just a piece of armor, sister."
Feierui no longer used sign language at this moment, but spoke slightly dissatisfied.
"It doesn't have any magical aura reaction, and my magic can't detect any power it has."
"But I don't think so. You go over and check it out."
"…………"
Fierri resisted the urge to whip Feigina with the five-headed snake whip. She first cast several divine spells on herself and defended herself openly, then signaled the two soldiers to follow her forward.
The only lucky thing was that according to Fierri's observation, the skeleton sitting on the chair was not a lich, but just an ordinary corpse, which was good news. However, she still raised her vigilance and walked forward carefully, paying attention to whether there were traps around her, and guarding against whether her sister would attack from behind.
However, perhaps Fierri was too focused on the back, so she ignored the crisis in front.
"Crack."
The floor under her feet moved slightly, and the next moment, the whole tomb suddenly began to shake, and then the walls on both sides collapsed suddenly, and then several humanoid armors holding long swords and shields walked out from inside and rushed towards the people who desecrated the tomb.
"Be careful!!"
Fierri retreated and shouted loudly, and at the same time she took the time to look at her sister. The latter was obviously surprised by this unexpected situation. She was waving her six-headed snake whip and desperately commanding other drow soldiers to attack these humanoid armors.
The humanoid armors were quite powerful. Most of the soldiers under Firri and Fegina died before they knocked these iron shells to the ground.
"That's enough! These damn mages!"
Fegina vented viciously, and then glared at Firri standing next to her.
"Quick, go and see what the mage left behind! The trap was triggered just before, which means no one has been here. There must be something left."
"Yes..."
Firri just nodded at this moment, and then walked carefully to the seat again. Then Firri found a strange decoration—it was a pendant that looked like a skull and a war hammer intertwined, and it was now on the corner of the chair. Although it was not glowing, Firri instinctively realized that it should be some kind of magic prop.
So she reached out and touched the pendant carefully.
At the moment when Ferri's fingers touched the pendant, a voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
(Follow your orders, Master, what do you want me to do?)
"Hey?"
Ferri was shocked to hear this voice that suddenly appeared in her mind. She raised her head and subconsciously looked at the giant armor standing behind the mage.
"What did you find?"
At this time, Feigina couldn't wait any longer and rushed over here. Hearing Feigina's voice, Ferri's heart sank. She knew that once Feigina found out, she would definitely take this thing away from her hands. By then, she would have nothing left.
At this moment, suddenly, a plan appeared in Ferri's heart.
Got it!
Thinking of this, Ferri hurriedly turned his head and looked at his sister and shouted loudly.
"Don't come over!"
While shouting at his sister, Ferri tightly grasped the pendant and gave an order.
(Kill her!)
"——————————!!"
Hearing Firri's order, the giant armor's eyes suddenly radiated a dazzling red glow. Then Firri saw it raise its head, grasp the war hammer behind it, and roared towards Feigina.
Facing the sudden attack of the black giant, Feigina was also shocked, but as a priest deeply favored by Rose, she immediately raised her hands and prayed for the power of God. Soon, a barrier appeared in front of Feigina, blocking the way of the black armor.
Seeing this scene, Firri was quite disappointed. Although Feigina was cruel and tyrannical, her ability as a high-level priest was unquestionable.
But the next moment, Firri widened his eyes in surprise.
The thunder hammer in the black armor directly broke through Feigina's divine power barrier, as if the barrier that could withstand all attacks was just a piece of paper. Feigina had never expected that the black armor had such power, and she did not react for a while. When she came to her senses, the thunder hammer had already smashed down, directly smashing the slender drow elf to the ground like slapping a fly, turning her into a bloody meat paste.
Awesome!
Seeing this scene, Firri widened his eyes in surprise. This was originally just her temporary idea. At that time, Firri did not expect that this construct looked more powerful than she imagined. It could even break through Feigina's divine power barrier and kill her easily!
This scene not only shocked Firri, but also shocked those drow elf warriors. As for the huge construct, it stood up again after destroying Feigina and scanned the surroundings without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, Firri clenched the badge again and silently issued an order from the heart.
(Kill them)
She couldn't let these drow soldiers leave, and at the same time, she also wanted to test how powerful this strange construct was.
The result made Firri quite satisfied.
When the priestess and the construct left the tomb, only a pile of bloody corpses were left on the ground.
After a while, two figures quietly emerged.
"I don't understand, what's so fun about this."
Jia Wei turned her fingers. The puppets that attacked the drow elves were controlled by her and Ogis. The black armor standing behind the mage's body was undoubtedly Duanmu Huai. This was also a trap designed by Duanmu Huai after he noticed the existence of the drow elves. Of course, Ogis and Jia Wei were only responsible for execution and had no idea why Duanmu Huai did this.
"The master has his own plans."
Ogis's expression was the same as always.
"We just need to do what we should do."
