The darkness with no end in sight is always inexplicably terrifying, but there is no way to retreat. Without hesitation, Viscount Eric walked straight up the spiral escalator and headed towards the lower level.

Knox naturally followed closely behind Viscount Eric, and Bourcho and the others only hesitated for a moment, but chose to follow immediately.

The spiral escalator is not without light sources, although it is not as bright as the dome like the day, but there are many spots of light scattered with stars, although the light spots are uneven, they give people a very coordinated feeling, and they do not appear abrupt.

"It's better to get out of here when you can get there. Bourcho muttered as he looked at the endless steps.

"Hmph, if you really want to get out, I don't want to help you, after all, you're so fat, you can roll to the bottom with a kick. Knox said half-jokingly, half-threatening.

"Don't, don't, don't, I might still have my life if I roll myself, you are here, I guess it will go up." ”

It's not all Bourgeo's fault, this step is also surprisingly weird, the first step, the drop is not big, the layout is not small, and each step is also painted with strange symbols.

In addition, the radius of this spiral is really a bit large, and it takes a lot of time to walk in a circle, not to mention, you can't even see the bottom. Although it is a downhill road, it is really a painful errand for a fat man who is not lightweight.

At first, complaining was complaining, but Bourcho still showed a little scholarly spirit, carefully observing the pictures and texts on the steps, although he found nothing, but did not complain.

But this journey, not to mention the lack of foot strength, these rune patterns alone have not been analyzed, and the interest has disappeared, so it will naturally be difficult. The others saw that Bourcho couldn't study anything, so they didn't slow down, after all, it was better to take a look at it.

"Can we take a break? After a long walk, Bourcho was a little tired, and proposed to rest for a while.

"This will not work, Bourcho, and take a little more walk. ”

Viscount Eric rejected Bourcho's request: "We don't have much time, we can't last long without food and water, and we can only find opportunities if we are in the best shape to explore." ”

"Luckily, we didn't lose our food and water, so we could at least live a little longer. Bourcho also knew the difficulties of his situation, but his body could not keep up.

"Well, don't waste your saliva, if you don't shout like that, maybe you can still get there. "Captain Knox is the one with the most physical exertion, and he didn't rest after the battle, he only rested for a while in a place where he didn't know the truth, and he was tossed a lot.

"I'm so tired. ”

“......”

Everyone stopped talking, and the current situation was so bad that they couldn't even raise their minds to gossip.

"This point of light, has become more?" Viscount Eric, who had walked for a long time, suddenly asked.

"It seems to have gotten more. Knox didn't look closely, but after a while, he began to ask Bourgeois: "Fatty, you have been observing all the way, what do you say?"

"This ...... It's a bit more, indeed. Bourcho was a little embarrassed: "There are more than that, but not too much, and there is still only more, and I can't say whether this is a definite law or not." ”

"That's a lot of it, right? ”

Viscount Eric looked down, it was still dark underneath, but he could barely see the end of the stairs: "If there were more and more points of light, it should be brighter and brighter below, but now we can barely see the end, only to find that there is still darkness at the end, which is really reassuring." ”

No one answered, and the darkness, which was not too far away, was like a huge open mouth, swallowing the stairs, and intending to swallow the people walking on the stairs.

After a while, Knox was the first to speak: "Seriously, Lord Viscount, this feeling is really bad. ”

"Then let's take a break, although there is still some way, but we must leave some distance just in case. Looking at the tired faces of the others, Viscount Eric felt that he should recuperate for a while.

Hearing this, Bourcho, who was already half-dead holding on to the wall, sat down on the stone steps, and the others sat down one by one. After a few sips of water, Bourgeo seemed to feel uncomfortable enough, and simply leaned against the wall and lay down on the steps.

"Hey, I'm tired. Bourcho gasped and grumbled.

"You guy is also a scholar, how can we still have a bad image. Looking at Bourjoy's virtue, Knox couldn't help but speak.

"What scholars, how many serious scholars will run to sea?" Bourcho did not mind, but said with a slight teasingness: "Besides, if those scholars who really want ministers to encounter such a situation, how much better can they be than me?"

"Yes, none of the scholars I've ever met have been like you. Knox shook his head, feigning disdain: "You don't look like a serious scholar." But I've heard that those ministers are very careful about their bodies, and their weight is not comparable. ”

"Hey, whatever. Bourcho didn't argue anything.

"Also, we're all in danger, and I mention that they're worried," Knox said with a hint of sarcasm, and he didn't know if it was the high-ranking minister, or the imprisoned himself.

"The next part of the road is not easy to walk, maybe it is a dead end. Viscount Eric's heart was heavy, he took a sip of water, and smiled bitterly: "Hmph, it has fallen to such a point, and I don't even have to drink the severed head wine." ”

Eric knew that he had lost his words after drinking, so he never touched the wine again, but the beam could not be untied. He is also an alcoholic, but he has not drunk alcohol in the past six months, and he has been on this road.

"But the wine is good, but if you don't die, you won't have anything. Despite the bad circumstances, Eric still has some hope: "If I can really live, what if I don't drink alcohol in this life." ”

"Lord Viscount, I don't know what to say, but there are no drinks in our camp anymore. ”

"Bourcho, it seems that you have rested enough, so it is better to ......" Viscount Eric was a little embarrassed, and was about to call everyone to continue walking, but after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't say it: "Well, I won't bother with you." ”

"Hehe, Lord Viscount is magnanimous. Bourgeois smiled and lay down again.

Half an hour later

"All right, boys. Seeing that everyone was almost resting, Viscount Eric also began to beckon: "Pack up, it's time to hit the road." ”

"Don't be so ugly, Lord Viscount. Bourcho listened to Viscount Eric's words and couldn't help but speak. "Although the road ahead is unknown, it is not certain to die!"

"Perhaps, but if there is danger, you must not be prepared. Viscount Eric answered, got up to lead the group, and walked towards the darkness at the end.
