Volume 4 The Storm of the Royal Capital Chapter 55 The Corridor at the End of Life (1)
The bright starlight twinkled quietly above the night, like a silver moonlight sprinkled elegantly.
Looking at the lights of thousands of homes lit up like the reflection of the starry sky, listening to the melodious insects calling the cool night breeze, and the rustling of leaves.
It's hard to imagine that this is an underground world opened up by a group of goblins with their own hands and wisdom.
Standing on a hidden path not far from Gujack Station, watching another underground train slowly enter the platform against the water, Lao Zhaohua suddenly said: "Hehe, you can see it, this is a train of trucks, look at the carriage markings should be transporting magic mechas." β
"Magic guide mecha?" Without waiting for Li Ang to speak, Feng Shuang'er, who was pulling the small bell on the side, spoke first. After nearly a day of getting along, Xiaoling and Feng Shuang'er, the two girls, seem to be getting along quite well.
"That's right, the parts of the magic guide mecha are nine times out of ten for the assault mecha, and it is estimated that this whole column is enough to assemble more than ten parts. Lao Minghua reached out and grabbed his dirty and curly mustache and said.
"It's always called Hua, what about the secret passage you are talking about, the Earl is dangerous, and we don't have time to delay. β
"Hehe, it seems that you are really affectionate and righteous. Okay, I'll go with the old flowers. β
Obviously, there was something in the words, and after the old man Hua finished speaking, he walked towards the depths of the woods with a thin bamboo pole and a deep and shallow foot.
In this way, under the guidance of the old flower, it didn't take long for everyone to pass through the barrier formed by an illusory image and go straight into a huge gap.
After opening the mechanism and passing through a dark secret passage that is not very long, everyone lit up a delicate lantern inlaid with sunstone from the exit of the secret passage, and walked up the stairs that had been artificially carved out of the cliff wall.
"Everyone, pay attention, remember what I always said, we must take the lantern in our hands now, don't take it out, if you still come back from this road, remember to take it, or there should be trouble, big trouble. β
Following Lao Zhaohua all the way up, Li Ang and the others noticed that the road carved into the cold cliff wall was in a circular shape all the way up.
kept circling up, and it didn't take long for Xiao Ling and Sangiel to be unable to walk.
"Isn't there an elevator here?"
"Elevator?"
"Even what you often call lifts, lifting platforms, teleportation circles and the like can also be, since this is a secret passage used for doing business, isn't this way too inefficient?"
"yes, why don't you have a lift? I have it when I'm delivering food to the temple in another passage?" interrupting the conversation between Leon and Lao Minghua, Becky the Raccoon said with his big backpack on his back, wiping his sweat in confusion.
"Hehe, the one you said is to facilitate the normal trading between the inner city and the black market, this is a special 'dark road' dug for the Holy Church of Light, thank God we can come in today, don't worry so much. β
This old man continued to talk and walk, never stopping.
"Come up. β
"No, no, Xiao Ling still has physical strength. β
"Less nonsense, come up, we have to hurry. β
Carrying the small bell on his back, the meteor strode behind the old man who suddenly accelerated, and Leon had already seen from the holographic map in his mind that there were countless beings around him who reacted motionlessly and entrenched in the cliff, not knowing whether they were friends or foes.
Inlaid in the cliff wall, the middle diameter of the staircase spiraling up in a circle is not less than fifty meters, even the ordinary size of the Assault Mecha is enough to be wide and loose at the same time about ten up and down, a secret passage for delivery, is it necessary to make it like this?
And there is also Feng Shuang'er, a girl from Longyan Island, who is handsome and has sharp and smart eyes......
On the evening of May 28, 2320, on the west side of the Church of Light complex in the inner city of Birona.
"Hehe, I can't imagine that a noble earl would plan to attack the Altar of Light, this is a good show. β
"Hmph, what exactly is in the brains of those pampered aristocratic lords is not something that we little junior priests can figure out. β
"Don't you think it's strange?"
"Hehe, do you think that the famous Earl Harrant is still wronged?"
"No, no, no, I mean the archbishop, don't you think there's something weird about Lord Guise?"
"Shh......h Don't be foolish, do you still think that our all-knowing and all-powerful Archbishop Guise is wronging that Earl Harrant?"
"No, no, no, I just suddenly had a strange feeling, as if Lord Guise was different from before, but I couldn't tell where. β
"If you can't tell, don't say it, it's weird and cautious. By the way, Cassie, today is your brother's graduation ceremony, right? Why didn't you take a leave of absence, he's just your relative, he must be sad if you don't go, right?"
"Alas, there is no way, who let last night go so far, there is nothing more important now than the safety of the Templar and the faithful, not to mention that this is not far from the palace, Flender is a real man, he will understand. β
"Haha, it's really a blessing that you have such an excellent younger brother in your previous life, I heard that he is tied for the first place in this class, and before he graduated, he was favored by the four court pillars at the same time, and he wanted to accept him as an apprentice?"
"Hey, hey, hey, it's really fake? The four court pillars take a fancy to it at the same time, what a great genius it must be!"
"Doug is right, Flender is said to be a once-in-a-century genius, and has always been interested in mysterious exercises from the East, so he said that after graduation, he must worship the 'Heavenly Sword' Yu Wending as a teacher. β
"Wow, isn't that going to be a step to the sky?"
"It's not that an exaggeration, but my brother, unlike me, is a genius, and he is more diligent than anyone else, and he will one day be a great man. β
"Hehe, it's still hello, look at the two of us, there is no one around us, how can it be like you, although the parents are gone, but there is such a great brother. By the way, is the wedding time set? I heard that your fiancΓ©e is also a big beauty. β
"Haha, alright, in a week, the ceremony will be in our Sanctuary of Light. β
A junior priest named Cassie, like his two companions, held a staff in one hand and a daylight lantern in the other, and walked along a corridor inlaid with many white jade reliefs.
Between words, whenever the names of his brother and his fiancΓ©e were mentioned, the unremarkable-looking young priest would smile happily with pride.
"Wow, it's here again, let's go over quietly. β
In the middle of the corridor, a path stretches out, winding and turning to a small mountain peak not far away. At the top of the mountain, there stood a strange black tower that was completely different from other architectural styles, and the white mist was wrapped in the cloudy wind, which was terrifying.
"I heard that there is an ancient demon god who specializes in eating human flesh and especially likes the internal organs of women and children, have you two seen it?"
"What are you kidding, at our level, how can we have that kind of opportunity. Let's go, it is said that ordinary people don't say that they see or touch it, even if they get closer, they will be cursed by evil spirits, and they will not die well, so let's go quickly. β
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind and dance, and the three priests were apprehensive, holding lanterns, and speeding up their steps to move forward.
After not going far, the figure at the end of the corridor flickered, and suddenly out came a fluffy and cute raccoon man with a large bag on his back, a short man with a wrinkled and hunched face, an extraordinarily fat robe, and an old yellow dog, and a tall saint wearing a mask, carrying a long sword, and a cross hammer at his waist.
"Hmm, aren't you the little becky of the Dragon?" the two groups of people got closer and closer, and the young priest named Cassie raised the lantern and asked with a surprised expression.
"Ah, yes, aren't you Mr. Cassie, and Mr. Jace and Mr. Doctore, are you still patrolling so late?"
"That's not it, we were ordered to go to the North Hall warehouse to do some errands, is anyone still ordering food at such a late hour?" Cassie asked with a puzzled expression.
Although it includes himself, it is often ordered from the food street of the goblin black market, and Shenlong Ji has an excellent reputation. But now it's late at night, and it's still such a juncture, who still wants to eat supper at this time?
"Hey, why haven't you two seen you?" the lantern shone behind Becky, and the other slightly larger priest said suspiciously.
"Ah, Mr. Jace, they are relatives of Becky, who have just made a pilgrimage from the Templar in the Outer Church, and want to quietly take the opportunity to deliver food to this legendary holy place to pay their respects. β
As he spoke, Xiaobei reached out and took out a handful of shiny goblin gold coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the three priests.
"Hmph, look at the hurry up, this is not a park to enter, the wind has been tight lately, and there are often patrols," said the priest named Jace, who gently tossed the three gold coins and stuffed them into his trouser pocket, "According to your method, I am afraid that it will be bankrupt in less than half an hour." β
The Shrine of Light, located underground, had just been attacked for a day, and there had been a riot in the outer city in the morning, and there were important suspects locked up in this sanctuary, so it was said that even a junior priest should not be so careless at such a time.
But in the face of the raccoon Xiaobei's harmless cute expression and sincere and tactful moving accent, it was inexplicable that the three priests believed this string of nonsense......
"Wait a minute. Just when the two groups of people had just passed by, and had not gone far, Cassie suddenly thought of something and turned around and said.
"What's the matter, Mr. Cassie?" Becky hurriedly turned around and smiled kindly.
"We did meet once, but I was collecting it on behalf of someone else, how did you know my name?"
"Ah, you told me yourself, don't you remember?"
Xiaobei, who was found to be flawed by the other party, still had no change in his face and did not beat his heart, and his answer was natural and clear, with a sincere and friendly cute expression.
Even Li Ang, who was dressed up as a saint and experienced in a hundred battles, couldn't help but secretly pick his big fingers, thinking that don't look at this guy's hairy, it's really stable to make up nonsense.
"Did I tell you?"
"Forget it, Cassie, this raccoon man often comes to deliver food, it's not surprising to know your name, don't be too nervous, we're still waiting for us over there. β
Indeed, whether he knows my name or not, what does it matter? This raccoon man often comes to deliver food, and he is not a villain at first glance, so it must be fine, and there is no strange aura on the other two.
No, what's wrong, why, why do we take those gold coins, why do we believe the raccoon man unconditionally?
The more Cassie thought about it, the more wrong it became, just as he was "lucky" to rub shoulders with Archbishop Guise today, which felt subtle and yet indescribable.
"Excuse me, can we go?" Smiling slightly, Becky asked very politely.
"Okay......" Cassie had just opened his mouth when a gust of wind swept in the direction of the black strange tower in the distance in the blink of an eye, "Wait a minute!"
The gale rolled up the sleeves of his robe, and Cassie suddenly woke up like a dream when he saw the short old priest pestle the delicate little hand of the staff!
"Don't-don't let them pass, catch them!"
At this moment, with the sound of shouting, more than a dozen armed saints wearing masks, wielding hammers, or holding swords and spears were killed in one breath from the direction where Li Ang and the others came.
I saw that the big man who ran at the front was only a big pants, and his mask and coat had long since disappeared. Holding a three-eyed fire gun, he had a big purple bag the size of a bean bag on his head, and rushed up in a hurry......
