Chapter 112 Mercury Ruins

That night, while Roland Hill and Charlene were attending the banquet in the castle.

"Who are you?"

In the dim candlelight, Lottie looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him. He was wearing dark clothes that were easy to hide. If he stood in the crowd, he would look like an ordinary passerby, but he suddenly appeared. The extraordinary ability shows that this person is not an ordinary person.

"The next one is a servant who serves the Baska family. I have seen Miss Charanlot." His voice was low and restrained, and he half-kneeled in front of Lottie.

"You..." Lottie looked at the man who suddenly called out her real name in amazement, a little flustered in her heart.

Seeing this servant of the Baska family who suddenly found her, Lottie was not surprised, but rather disturbed. This stemmed from the brutal struggle between the remnants of the Baska family and the imperial family in recent years.

"Are you really a descendant of a vassal who serves the Baska family? Why did I never understand it before?" Lottie looked at the man in front of him. He probably had the strength of Sequence 5, and he could be said to be a rare master.

"This is because when the Baska family was destroyed, the young lady was still underage. You haven't fully learned about the secrets and inheritances in many families, which is what caused the current situation." He replied respectfully.

"Although the Baska family is being persecuted by the empire today, I believe that as long as Miss Charanlot is here, the scattered forces will gather again."

"Gather....?" Lottie bit her lip, a little hesitant and uneasy, but as the descendant of the Dragon of Evil, she couldn't easily say the words to give up, those family members who died in front of her let her She couldn't run away from it.

"However, what else can we do now, it's too late. The family's legions are exhausted, and the nobles loyal to us have been killed, imprisoned, and purged. There is no soil for our family to survive here." Lottie shook Shaking his head.

"No, there are still some, everyone is hiding in the dark."

"Although the empire has sent a lot of investigators and patrol teams to hunt them down, we still retain some of our strength. You have to believe in the legacy of the Dragon of Evil's operation in the southern region for hundreds of years. We still have many hidden lines."

"As long as you are willing to stand up and show your identity, those warriors will come out of the mountains, river valleys, and markets to join us."

"Perhaps you don't know, on the day the Empire decided to give up the Baska family, we were making all kinds of preparations, and the family even transferred a lot of wealth and treasures to a safe place in advance." This assassin-like man faintly remind.

"Ah..." Lottie sighed, without saying a word, sitting on the wooden chair under the bed, looking at the starry sky outside the window.

There was a brief silence in the room, and the man didn't speak any more and kept standing silently.

After a long time, Lottie stood up. She found a pen and paper, and was going to leave a letter telling Messiah her departure.

[I'm so sorry, Sister Messia, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye...]

Under the quiet candlelight, the metal nib swiped across the page, making a rustling sound, and the black ink swiped arc after arc and trajectory on the yellowed page, until the end, ending with a long, long arc. .

After writing, Lottie pressed the page on the table with a candlestick, so that Roland Hill could see it when he came back. After doing all this, she simply packed up her things and put the black long sword on the table before she felt a little relieved.

"Let's go."

"Yes, Miss." Soon the two disappeared into the night.

————————

The flames were burning cracklingly, and small sparks burst out from time to time. The torches soaked in pine oil illuminated the forest in the dark night, connecting long dragons in the night.

As the destination arrived, Viscount Moruo asked the guards to set up a brazier, and then stood guard outside.

"This is where the relics of the past are buried." Viscount Moruo stood under a rock and waved his hand. The butler led someone forward, slowly pushed the stone aside, and then dug down for half a meter, revealing a hidden floor door.

"It's actually here?" Surprised whispers came from the crowd.

"I've lived here for decades and I haven't heard of it. The Viscount is very good at keeping it a secret."

"It makes me look forward to it."

Seeing the opening of the underground passage, Viscount Moruo turned around and said to the crowd, "First of all, the closed restriction must be opened. This process may take some time and requires the assistance of all high-sequence transcendents."

"Please also ask the transcendents above Sequence 4 to step forward and follow me into the underground."

After he finished speaking, his eyes turned to several people in the arena, and the most eye-catching was the Eastern Swordsman, Yan Liuyan.

"Haha, it's my duty to wait for nature." After speaking, the strong man stepped out.

"Several adults in the army also please." Viscount Moruo looked at the officers in the field with a complicated look. Although these people are also helpers, he really doesn't want to see soldiers, because these are likely to lead to accidents. For example, take the holy relic as your own, or deduct it.

"Okay." After speaking, several officers in red with swords also walked out of the column and looked at the underground passage in front of them.

"Finally, I have to trouble some powerful guests." At this time, Viscount Moruo's mood improved a little.

At least these mercenaries and adventurers are still very good at handling them. Even if they get the holy relics, he has a way to grab them from them.

"Then let's go first. In addition, please invite friends outside to wait together." After that, he took the lantern and led people down the long stairs, leading to the darkness.

After walking in the tortuous passage for about ten minutes, the walls in the passage were first constructed from relatively new modern structures, and gradually turned into broken and ancient stone walls. The place is old and long.

Finally, everyone stopped in front of a gray mottled stone wall.

On the wall are the heads of skeletons, the moon wrapped around wisteria and other symbols of the Mercury Dynasty. At this time, everyone also felt a cold magic power sinking here, making people feel cold.

Feeling the familiar undead magic power, Roland Hill thought, if the undead sequence can be restored, it is estimated that the strength will be greatly increased here. But for confidentiality, she still has to continue to maintain the identity of the war sequence at this moment.

"It's here. Although there are restrictions and protections, our family has been studying for nearly a hundred years and understand the mechanism that works."

"So, as long as you follow my instructions and break the protection's prohibition at a critical moment, you can enter it." He said, his eyes moved to the rear of the team, where the butler stood, holding a leader by his hand. girl in a hood.

After nodding slightly, Viscount Moruo let people disperse, and then began to explain the key points and timing of the attack, as well as the problem of distribution.

After straightening it out, he first stood in front of the open space in front of the stone gate, and put his hand into the restricted area again. A slight ripple swayed by his hand, and then he felt that the energy in his life was being absorbed.

"It's now." He snorted lowly, and then Yan Liuyan slashed down and draped it on the corner of the wall. The scorching magic power penetrated into it, and even melted part of the surface, turning it into turbid crystals.

Seeing this, Viscount Moruo stretched out his hand again and felt it carefully. In this way, several people took turns using magic attacks, and finally unlocked the key switch, allowing the forbidden circle that had been running for thousands of years to stop slowly.

"Phew, it's solved." A Sequence 4 adventurer exhaled and sat aside, using high-power skills continuously, which has consumed most of his magic power, and now he has no strength to go further.

The forbidden magic circle was successfully released without triggering the reaction device, which greatly relieved Viscount Moruo.

Next is the door. He thought, then took out a small oval bottle from the inner pocket of his clothes, with intoxicating bright red blood in it, glistening in the light of the torches.

Standing in front of everyone, he slowly poured the crimson liquid down, and then the skull on the wall began to move.

With the sound of turning, the mechanism slowly pushed away the dusty stone wall, and then a chilly air flow swept in, making people feel cold.

The air seemed to smell of damp stone powder, and before everyone saw a dark red and rusted world.

A guard carefully stepped into it with a torch and illuminated the surroundings. The hall was full of fragments of collapsed shelves and wooden crates. out of the past.

In such a situation, can there still be treasures left? The people who were in high spirits became silent, as if they had been tricked.

"Now, I have to trouble those who can move down with me." Moruo glanced at the current situation, and then invited the remaining Sequence 5 Transcendents.

"Humph." Looking at the situation in the hall, a non-commissioned officer snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction.

It's a pity that Viscount Moruo didn't care, but continued to invite.

"There may be other things below. I think if there is an item that can resist the erosion of time, it must be a great thing."

"Since you're all here, it's time for you to continue walking." Yan Liuyan shook her head and followed.

Several other people in the underground space looked at each other and made their own ideas.

"I'll wait here, you go down and assist Viscount Moruo." The officer in red stood at the entrance with his arms around his arms, looking around at the wreckage and the murals on the wall.

"Yes, Lord Widwin." After speaking, the three military Sequence Fives stepped forward and stepped into the deep underground.

"Miss Messiah going?" After he finished the command, he turned his head and looked at the girl on the side. He hadn't given up on his previous plans and wanted to get acquainted with this beautiful lady.

"Well, since I agreed, I still have to go." Roland Hill said, then glanced at her, she needed a weapon.

Participating in the banquet in the first half of the night, she was not like those officers who carried a sword with her. While it's not difficult to get a handful out of the storage space, it exposes too much.

"Miss Messia is looking for a weapon." Before Charlene, who was beside Lorraine, could react, Widwin had guessed what the girl was thinking, and because he was a person who fought all the year round, he naturally understood the critical moment. The importance of carrying a weapon with you.

"I lent this sword to Miss Messia, and I hope you don't dislike it." He untied his saber and handed it over to Roland Hill.

"This...then thank you." Now was not the time to be entangled, and Loren Hill didn't refuse.

"Miss Messia likes it, hehe." The red-clothed officer also smiled and seemed very satisfied with Messiah's move to accept her long sword.

Shaking his head, without thinking about the weird meaning, Loren Hill took out his sword and simply waved it, then continued to enter.

Holding a torch, walking through the cold and dark passage, a long corridor appeared in front of him, and there were many rooms connected to both sides of the corridor, some of which were full of black and gray debris, looking like a kind of rotten grain Some of the food is rust. It is estimated that weapons and weapons were stored here in the past, and some rooms are clear at a glance. Only the ground is inscribed.

Special array.

A girl familiar with the knowledge of the Quicksilver Dynasty recognized at a glance that it was a kind of necromancy circle, which could attract ghosts or resurrect corpses into undead warriors. However, looking at its style and engraved pattern, this is estimated to be the second generation of the dynasty - the Howling Magic Array. The effect is not stable and requires several wizards to jointly cast spells.

In the inheritance that Trinasha left to her, the evoking magic circle at the end of the dynasty has developed to the 16th generation - the Array of You Ming. At that time, the appearance and pattern have changed greatly, and a single person can summon a large number of Corpses and ghosts, but there weren't as many high-quality corpses available back then.

After walking through this room, Roland Hill continued to move forward. On the way, he saw the footprints just left in front of him, distributed among the gravel floors, and there were white marks of rummaging and chopping.

It seems that the people in front are very anxious.

The girl meditated silently in her heart, and then there was a sudden fight and screams, which seemed to be the voices of ghosts wailing.

Well, this is also expected, after all, it is the relic of the Quicksilver Dynasty, if there are no ghosts wandering, it would be strange. Thinking like this, Roland Hill let go of his perception, filtered out irrelevant information, and walked forward quickly.

"The Fire of Huilu, Sword Fourteen!"

With a loud shout, Yan Liuyan jumped high, his figure turned and flashed in the dark space like a fright, and the long sword of red flame in his hand galloped like lightning, splitting this dead world.

The scorching hot blade seemed to be the natural enemy of the ghost. After the fiery blade slashed, several ghosts of the Sequence 5 of the Undead wailed and turned into smoke and dust, gradually disappearing into the underground space.

Viscount Mo Ruo, who was shrinking to the side, looked at the scene in front of him with cold sweat. He was almost attacked by the ghost and leaned over. Fortunately, the Eastern Swordsman was not far away and rescued him.

"Thank you, I will give Mr. Yan Liuyan a good report when I go back." After being attacked by the ghost, Moruo woke up from the eager frenzy and no longer dared to act alone.

But the thirst for power in his heart is getting heavier and heavier.

If only I had such a strong strength, such thoughts quietly surfaced, and then hidden in the depths of my heart.

With the sound of a ping-pong battle, everything in the underground ruins was slowly discovered, and everyone gradually approached the central area they controlled.

Meanwhile, outside the ruins.

The forest shrouded in darkness was very quiet, and occasionally a few calls of gray owls could be heard in the forest.

A group of guests who were entrained filtered out their original uneasiness, sat under the torches and chatted with each other, telling the story of the rise of the Moruo family, and then speculated on the future changes of the empire. If it weren't for the sudden action tonight, it would be rare for them to get together to exchange information.

In the shadow of the forest that no one could reach, a woman with a good figure slowly emerged. She had a pair of lapis lazuli blue eyes, and she was also covered with a long blue and black dress.

The woman sat on a horizontal branch, her lapis-like pupils looked at everything in the camp, and then a grey forest owl with brown and white feathers flapped its wings and landed beside her.

"...Really....I see." She seemed to be able to understand the message silently conveyed by the bird beside her, and then bursts of brilliance flashed in her pupils.

"Finally found you, our lovely star witch, giggle."

The woman covered her lips and smiled, and with the more and more exaggerated laughter, the bright blue in her eyes became more and more burning.
