Act 274 The Last Miner

What appeared in front of Faina was an abyss. A long and narrow natural stone bridge connected the two ends of the abyss. The gray bridge deck, only two or three feet wide, extended straight forward until it was hidden in the shadows. 『』,

The cold wind blowing from both sides of the abyss carries seemingly visible shapes, like pale and cold ghosts emerging from the darkness, screaming past the stone bridge, blowing away Faina's lace skirt and collar. He blew it up, covering Gai's face that looked pale due to excessive blood loss.

The dim light of the torch swayed, and the girl's sea-blue eyes looked even deeper under the flickering light.

A long team is advancing on the stone bridge. There are Cruz people and Faenzan people. At the front are Vala, Veronica, Sidney, and Rodrigo, the grand leader of the Silver Horse Knights. With several dukes, followed by a group of knights and human soldiers.

Faina followed Andrigg and Medphis. Medphis walked all the way and introduced this place to everyone. This was once the hometown of the Alka dwarves - the Anlong Mine. The dwarves built an ancient mine here. Kingdom of the Dwarves, but then the tunnel deep underground opened up the connection between the hive and the surface world. Countless monsters emerged from the darkness. The kingdom of the dwarves was soon wiped out by the invasion of monsters.

Faina had heard about this terrifying underground city. There were treasures and dangers buried in the darkness. Many adventurers came here through Mehotofen and then disappeared into this maze-like underground cave system. Some people say that what took their lives was the ghosts of the dwarves of the past who wandered in the mines. These ghosts wandered in the dark corners, repeating their chattering and regrets day after day. Those voices hidden in the dark wind made people shudder. .

Faina coughed slightly and couldn't help but stretch the wound. Making her face turn pale. While covering her collar to prevent the cold wind from entering her neck, she whispered to the vampire siblings in front of her: "Andrigue, Morpheus, and Brando are here too?"

Andrrig looked back at her, her eyes as pure as blood flashing with unpredictable brilliance, but she did not answer. Morpheus smiled apologetically. He replied: "Master is not here. We are here because of an accidental reason."

"Is it safe here?" Rodrigo, the grand leader of the Silver Horse Knights, asked. His face was as heavy as water, and his eyes were flashing with thought. It was obvious that he did not trust the vampire siblings very much.

"Don't worry, everyone. This is under the mountains of Alkash. Those monsters are unlikely to find here easily, not to mention that this is also the relic of a saint. There are two holy statues at the other end of the stone bridge. They will prevent intrusions with ulterior motives. By."

"Relics of the Saint?"

"The dwarves built defenses at the entrance to their kingdom to drive away all evil creatures in the darkness."

"It's a pity that they obviously didn't expect that the destruction would come from the other side." Andrigg sarcastically said in a cold tone.

These words made the Cruz people somewhat silent.

"Where does this lead to?" Rodrigo asked again.

"This underground passage has not been used by anyone for hundreds of years. It leads south to the southern foothills of the Alkash Mountains, which is the forest north of the Wilderness of the Four Realms." Morpheus replied.

"Is it reliable?"

"Quite reliable."

Rodrigo fell silent. He was not familiar with the vampire siblings, but he could tell. They knew these Cruz people, so he turned his questioning eyes to Veronica aside.

"Did Brando ask you to come here to guide us. Morpheus?" Veronica finally spoke, her voice a little low, just like her current mood.

Morpheus shook his head: "No, Ms. Veronica, we have been separated from our master since we left Rushta. We ended up here by accident. I know you are trapped here because Some other adventures.”

"An adventure?"

Everyone walked along the stone bridge,

The outlines of two huge stone statues gradually appeared on the platform at the other end of the long bridge. What gradually appeared in the darkness were two giant statues of dwarves, about sixty feet high. The crowd was like ants beneath their feet, both statues holding war hammers high in their hands.

The edge of the war hammer exuded a hint of cold light.

Everyone was captivated by the wonders of this underground place. No one, including Valla, thought that there was such a place underground in the Alka Mountains.

"In fact, there is an adult who wants to meet you." At this time, Medphis's voice continued: "He told us that there will be a war at the Odos Pass that is related to the future fate of the Cruz people. But the future is shrouded in fog, and he asked us to come and guide you—"

"What a loud tone." Rodrigo was very dissatisfied with this statement and snorted coldly.

But Veronica seemed a little surprised. Being able to predict the battle at Odos Pass was considered a top-notch existence among astrologers. She asked in a respectful tone: "My lord, he had already predicted the battle at Odos Pass." Is there a big battle at Dos Pass? Has he already anticipated the origins of those monsters outside?"

"I'm sorry," Morpheus said with a smile: "Andrigue and I don't know much about this. In fact, we only know so much."

"Mephisto...?"

"Master Sword Master came here with us, but he seems to know that master, but he didn't tell us."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering who the mysterious big man was.

"Medphis," Faina said at this time: "On the battlefield before, your strength was much stronger than when you were in Rushta. Is it also because of that adult?"

She had fought side by side with Morpheus and others in Rush Tower, so she naturally knew that the opponent's strength was about the same as that of Elemental Civilization. However, when the opponent rescued her from the crystal cluster on the battlefield, the level of power he showed was obvious. Not only that, but the other party also showed a strange power. She had only seen similar power in Brando in the past.

"Yes," Morpheus replied: "This is the fate that the Lord gave me and Andrique. With this kind of power, we can return to our master as soon as possible."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Faina couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the words. For many people in this world, elemental enlightenment is the highest level they can achieve in a lifetime. But after listening to Morpheus's words, the mysterious big man seemed to lift his head. You can lift people to a higher level with just a lift of your hands. What kind of power level is this?

For a moment, Vala, Veronica, Sidney and others who had known about the vampire siblings earlier couldn't help but feel troubled, but none of the people who had seen Morpheus and Andrique before Noble Cruz, Rodrigo and others looked calm and had no intuitive feelings about this.

Faina couldn't help biting her lower lip, feeling silent in her heart, thinking that the distance between herself and Brando was getting farther and farther. When she was in the Ring of Trade Winds, she was still the student of the only female swordsman in the empire, the most favored daughter of the Mehotofen family, and in an instant, their statuses had intertwined. At this moment Even the empire fell apart, and her family was naturally not immune. Now that she has become mature little by little, she can only watch the other person's back as he moves forward.

Elise followed her sister step by step. Considering her age, she was not too interested in these adult topics. Although the empire collapsed, at least her family was still around, so she did not feel much sadness. , instead he rolled his eyes and asked curiously: "Medphis, what kind of person is your master? Why did you call my sister mistress before - oh!"

Before she could say anything, she was given a hard tug by her sister with gritted teeth.

"Hehehe, sister, are you shy?"

"Shut up, Elise!"

After passing two dwarf stone statues and walking through a long dark passage, the outline of a door gradually emerged in the darkness. The gate seemed to be carved from a single piece of boulder. The surface relief was covered with gold threads. The pattern on it was the history of the birth of the dwarves. Sparks splashed out from the furnace of Im, the god of craftsmen, and landed on the silver plain. This formed the image of a dwarf.

This is the history recorded in the Poem of Blue, and everyone recognizes it. In fact, there is a similar underground city gate in the dwarf kingdom in the Broken Sword Mountains, but its scale is compared to this. The Alka dwarves inherited the rune dwarves. Part of the culture, it now seems that the rumors are true.

The Great Holy See Valla remained silent among the crowd. His eyes fell on the two gates, and he was thinking about something in his heart. He recalled some rumors about this holy mountain, and A scene that happened here sixty years ago.

The door is tightly closed and is more than forty feet high, only inferior to the height of the two giant statues. You need to look up to see the whole thing. When everyone approached the door, the door automatically made a dull roar and slowly opened inward, as if to welcome guests.

Everyone was shocked by this scene. Only Rodnig frowned and muttered: "It's all pretending."

Behind the gate is an extremely vast hall. The hall seems to be immersed in deep darkness. Giant square pillars stand upright under the light of torches, like tree trunks in a dark forest. The firelight lengthens the thick black shadows. , one after another.

The tops of these pillars were completely integrated into the dark shadows, and you could barely see part of the dome when you looked up. This cave may have been naturally formed, and the shadows were densely covered with hanging stalagmites.

Deep in the hall, Faina saw a ball of fire.

The firelight was located in the central area guarded by dozens of pillars, emitting from a silver candlestick on a low table made of red pine wood. There was a bench beside the table, and a man wearing a silver robe and a monocle. The old man is sitting on a chair.

Before everyone arrived, the old man was holding a thick octavo book and was reading it attentively. As if he noticed Faina's gaze, he suddenly closed the book and raised his head, revealing a pair of bright red eyes like agate.

Miner people——

Everyone's heart trembled.
