Chapter 288: Sudden Fall (2)

No matter what Zoe was doing, or what happened to Zoe, the magic that could make Zoe disappear suddenly was powerful. Even, when it is cast, it makes people mistakenly think that nothing has happened at all.

Susan thought it was Mentor Lil, as she could use spatial magic. When it comes to creating a magic portal in front of her eyes, Lil can easily do it. In the past, Susan and the other members of the Revival Legion often used Lil's magic to enter and exit Noah's jungle.

But Susan thought about it carefully, how could that be Li'er's mentor? In Alex's kingdom, if someone could silently use magic like space-time, it must be about the same as Li'er's magical strength. But looking back at the entire kingdom of Alex, Susan couldn't think of such a person, so she could only guess that her own knowledge was too shallow, or that person didn't bother to compete for fame and fortune at all.

"It's a strange thing that an amazing magician actually appeared in Feitian Town. When Susan thought that she had survived, she realized that good luck was still there. If the magician, who was about the same strength as Lil, wanted to take Susan's life, then Susan was already lying under the clock tower. So, there must be some reason for this.

"Who could that person be?"

Walking through the rain-soaked streets, Susan didn't care about potholes or anything like that, and whatever was in front of her, she was always stepping on a meteor and running past. Despite her preoccupation, she was caught by a figure that was right in front of her and along the ridge of the roof in line with hers.

"What happened?"

Susan glanced towards the inn on the east side of the street, and she saw another figure turning over to the ridge of the roof. In order to get a better view of the inn, she moved a little closer to the west side of the street. As a result, she saw that the windows of Glori and Xavier's room, west of the second floor of the inn, were being blown by the wind.

"And what about Glori, Evan, and Lord Xavier?"

In order to shorten the distance and catch up with the shadow, Susan took three direct steps. Then she climbed into a carriage with a shed on it. On top of the carriage was a telescopic steel bridge corridor connecting the east and west streets, and she jumped on the support of the shed, grabbed the guardrail of the bridge, and climbed onto it. After approaching the longitudinal house on the east side of the street, she jumped onto the ridge. However, her feet were slippery, and without paying attention, she kicked a flat rock tile in front of her. The tile slid down the white ridge and woke the owner of the house. Then, the streets were lit up sporadically.

When she looked ahead, Susan saw the general appearance of the second person. The man was tall and had a dagger at his waist on his left and right sides, and to Susan's surprise, he also carried two moonblades, just like Sidney's weapon. Unexpectedly, the person Susan was looking at also looked back at Susan. The man even showed his middle finger.

"What does that mean?"

However, Susan had to go back to the inn first. After passing by a dozen houses in quick succession, she finally came to the top of the inn. The rooms in the inn were built around the middle garden, so she jumped in. After grasping the pillars on the side of the corridor on the west side of the second floor, she climbed over the fence.

"Glori, Glori?"

Susan knocked the second door on the west side of the second floor. But, just as when he knocked on Zoe's door, there was no response at all. Then she had to knock on Evan's door.

"Evan, open the door...... It's me, Susan. ”

Still no one answered, so Susan tried to go to the third room to the south. When she knocked on the door, it opened, and she didn't really use much effort at all. When I entered the door, there was no one on the bed at all, only a cover that had been lifted on the ground. Moreover, the furnishings in the house are very cluttered. The small round table on the north side of the bed was missing a corner, and the missing part was inside the door near the north wall. Apart from the chaos, there were no notes or letters or anything like that.

Could it be that they have all encountered something bad. However, there was no trace of blood at all.

"So, where have Glori, Evan, and Lord Xavier gone?" said Susan as she left the room, standing in the hallway with no master. When she was depressed, she saw the signal of fireworks rising in the rift. Looking at the appearance of fireworks, it is not at all the kind used by the Meritorious Knights.

Suddenly, Susan jumped on the fence and took off three steps later. She grabbed the eaves and climbed back up the ridge. Could it be that the Order of Meritorious Knights has been attacked?

But there was no sound of killing, only silence and illuminated night sky. Susan looked at the cliffs to the northeast, jumped from one house to another in front of the north, then crossed another steel telescopic bridge, and then jumped into the woods.

Before you know it, a beam of light falls from the sky. It's as if, all the obstacles are hiding. There was no grass in the way, no branches in front of you, no beasts or spirits that suddenly burst out of your way. Looking up rashly, Susan found that it was already dawn. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she turned to look to her right, only to realize that the river was nearby, and the cliffs were in front of her.

However, the lifting platform that surrounds the cliff was almost completely destroyed. Susan didn't know if it was the favor of the god of light, but one of the lifting platforms in front of her was intact.

According to the idea, Susan was going to pull the lever and let the lift table come down. However, she stopped when she stepped on something resembling a stone slab, and thus survived another disaster, just now the rope that pulled the lift table was loose. Susan didn't expect that she would fall into a deep well because she stepped on the trap.

After the rumble, Susan could only look at the lifting platform that covered the wellhead.

"The god of light doesn't make such jokes. ”

On her first night here, Susan also saw patrolling militiamen climbing on the railing of the lift platform to check the locks. Susan felt that the rope had been cut by someone in nightwear, as the maintenance of the lift had never been broken. So, there's no need to complain about anything at all. Of course, she didn't have time to complain, in addition to being anxious, there were a lot of question marks stacked in her heart.

"Maybe you'll find a slit to get out of. ”

After jumping twice, Susan thought she could climb up with the help of the cyan bricks around the deep well. However, this well was not a dry well. The walls are slippery and can't go up anyway. At this moment, half of Susan's body was soaked in water, and even the leather armor on her upper body was wet from the splash just now. Without light, without the tools to illuminate, Susan had to fumble around.

In addition to the moss, Susan also found a hollow into the wall of the well. After careful exploration, Susan identified what was in the depression. She found that the arch in that place was the size of the secret door under the bell tower. The only slight difference is that there is a gap in the middle of the arch that can be touched.

Push it hard, and the arch doesn't move at all.

"So, this door is stuck with something. Or, it's controlled by some agency. ”

Susan groped again, and then pressed the masonry around her. After about half a moment, she finally found the masonry that she could push under a tree vine behind her.

Press the mechanism, a creak remembers. With it, the arch opened. Bending down and walking up the steps, Susan touched the walls on either side. The walls of the passage, unlike the walls of the well, are made of monolithic rocks, and there are carvings. The passage runs all the way to the east and passes through the bottom of the river. After walking through a raised platform, there is a downward staircase passage. In the passage, there are few unbridled mosses and vines that can burrow, but the ticking sound is constant.

After enduring the cold dripping into her collar, Susan saw a flash of light. All the light comes from the oil ducts under the walls. In front of him was a secret chamber, and the walls were as covered with carvings as the passageways.

The secret room was so large that Susan could only look around. She couldn't figure out what this place was for, because there was no storage at all. The entire square chamber, except for the oil lamp ignited by the fire of the oil channel, is a sunken drainage pool in the middle. So, where is the export?

Susan frowned and could only look around. The arch closes automatically when you come in, and if the oil lamp burns all the time, it will keep consuming the air. If Susan can't find the exit soon, she will have to endure the pain.

After some checking, she found an underground chamber not far from the west wall. Actually, she found it by accident, just as she was looking at the walls around her. As for the mechanism that opened the cover, it was where she walked. It didn't matter what the mechanism was, she didn't want to care about it at all, she just wanted to leave as soon as possible and find someone else.

Exit the Quad Chamber and follow the stairs into the Dark Room. Susan didn't notice anything suspicious, just a musty smell. She guessed that there might have been food stored here. With the help of the fire's oil channel, Susan found some worn-out sacks, as well as a few broken barrels. There was a corner, full of dead bones.

On a square wall next to the bones, Susan also found some written accounts.

"May the kingdom of Alex be accompanied by light forever! The one who made the vow - the minister of the kingdom of Alex and the friend of Velon......"

Susan didn't read the name, but at the end she saw the broken book and dagger discarded on the ground. She guessed it was a hiding place for people who had escaped crime. However, there was nothing these words could do to help Susan leave. She picked up the tattered book and dagger and walked up the steps again, returning to the chamber.

Faced with the carvings around her, she was helpless. Even under the lights, she couldn't find a secret door to leave. There wasn't anything on the walls that looked like a mechanism at all.

“......”

I want to save others, but I am trapped. After a moment of silence, Susan put her hope on the others. Now, in order to calm her nerves, she had to open the booklet with a hole. Later, she looked at the knife again, and saw that the edge was exactly the same as the one in the booklet. Looking at it this way, it seems that there was a fight in this secret room.

Looking back at the wall, she found several lines carved across the cross. Among them, some of them have deep lines, some are cross-shaped, and some of the dents are as large as if they have been slashed by a big sword. So, she couldn't help but keep looking, so she closed the booklet first.

Finally, in the southeast corner, she found the handle of the greatsword that had been burned by magic. To keep quiet, she used wind magic to blow the dust off the hilt of her sword and checked.
