Act XXXIX. Tomb robber Rosen
When she awoke, Grantia saw a deep darkness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Hmm......"
She covered her head and tried to get up, but suddenly recalled her previous experience and was about to exclaim, but she was gagged by a cold hand.
“!!!”
"If you don't want to die, keep quiet."
A deep voice sounded in her ears, and after a little recognition, Grantia found that it was Lawson, and the cold palm was Lawson's handarmor.
The knight, covered in armor, was half-crouching on the ground, and at this time, Grantia noticed that she was actually being held in the arms of Rosen in the posture of a princess.
The unworldly girl naturally had a touch of crimson on her face, but Lawson, who was puzzled, didn't have the time to sigh about this, and all his senses were open, trying to search for traces of the enemy.
The Black Iron Stairs were not enough to fall to their deaths, and before falling, Rosen noticed that Zeroth had also jumped, and at the same time sealed Gascoigne's path with magic.
He was more than enough to face the five black iron ranks that had temporarily relied on potions to ascend, but he had to be extremely careful when facing the mages at the peak of black iron.
In the darkness, there were several breaths that were about to move, and Rosen seemed to have opened a large net centered on himself, and every move of these black iron steps was watched by him.
However, presumably the other party can also perceive him, even if it is a little vague, but the powerless Grandia is undoubtedly like a bright light at this moment, guiding the direction of others.
"Get down."
Lawson whispered, then let go of his hand and threw Grantia to the ground.
"Yikes!"
Still wondering how this Lawson didn't know how to pity the jade, Grantia hit the hard and cold floor and let out a small exclamation.
At the same time, bright sparks lit up in the darkness.
Under the spark, Grantia caught a glimpse of Lawson being surrounded by five people, looking like he was in danger, her heart tightened, and now Grantia's only reliance is this taciturn Lawson, but the aristocratic daughter who can't help any gang can only secretly pray to the goddess for Lawson in her heart.
The crisp sound of a few swords clashing, followed by the muffled sound of a sharp weapon piercing into flesh and a wail of pain, and after a while, the surroundings became silent again, as if everything just now was an illusion.
Grantia couldn't help but hold her breath, listening carefully to the movement around her, she felt her heart beat faster, and it seemed especially loud in this quiet space.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed the back of Grantia's neck and lifted her up.
"Wow !!"
This sudden change made the girl shudder, and she screamed, her hands and feet kept swinging, but she couldn't reach the person behind her.
"I, I, I won't give in, you, you, you, your conspiracy won't succeed......"
"If you keep yelling like that, I don't mind keeping you here."
A familiar voice came, it was Rosen.
"Hmm......"
Hearing this, Grantia immediately covered her mouth with her hands, looking silent.
How could this man treat a lady like this, because he had treated him so politely before!!
Grantia felt that her impression of the priests of the Templar had suddenly fallen below the lower limit, and it seemed not unreasonable to hear that the bishops in the highest positions had never married and were alone in order to serve the goddess.
"Can you go?"
Rosen didn't have the slightest idea of taking care of this noble daughter at this time, but because she was the key to activate the defensive circle, she stayed by her side, but fortunately, Grantia herself was quite good-quality and did not mess around as Rosen imagined.
"Hmm."
Grantia felt that Lawson had lowered herself to the ground, and the moment her feet touched the ground, she suddenly had the illusion of being teased like a pet.
"So where are we now?"
She asked, and it was dark all around, and Grantia unconsciously moved closer in Rosen's direction, her slender hand gently resting on Rosen's arm.
The fragrance that belonged to the girl came, and it was particularly clear under Rosen's perception of several times the increase, but it was a pity that Rosen had become a skeleton, and he couldn't set off a ripple in his heart at this time, but in Grantia's heart, he had been labeled as an ascetic priest.
"I don't know, it could be a hidden space, who knows what's here."
Rosen said coldly, there was no trace of Zelas in his perception network, and it was estimated that the old mage fell somewhere else, or fell to his death.
If it's the latter, it's naturally best, but it's unlikely, and even Lawson himself thinks it's too ideal.
He searched the surroundings with his mental powers, and it was an empty hall, the dome was so dark and deep that it was impossible to find the top of it, and there was only one passage around, and it was also impossible to know where its end led.
But since that's the case, there's only one way to go.
Rosen made up his mind, he thought that this was probably the "wolf herder" Reed. Gray's mausoleum, if explained by his meagre knowledge, is the hall of the mausoleum.
That task seemed to be playful, and for whatever reason, he had to search it out
"This could be Reed. Gray's burial chamber. ”
reminded him, but Lawson felt Grantia's nerves around him tense up.
"Tombs, burial chambers?"
The girl hugged Lawson's forearm again and said in a somewhat trembling voice.
"So—will there be undead ghosts or something......
Yes, and right next to you, it's a skeleton.
Secretly laughing at the ghost-fearing eldest lady, Lawson suddenly had an urge to immediately lift his visor to scare Grandia, but thinking about it, he finally gave up, ignoring the trembling girl and heading towards the passage.
"Wait!"
Grandia wiped away her tears and hurriedly chased after her, stepping on some viscous liquid on the way, she didn't think about what it was, she could only silently follow Rosen.
The air in the passage was viscous from years of condensation, and Grantia felt a dry pain in her throat, she didn't dare to say more, and Lawson didn't seem interested in small talk, and the two walked silently among the graves deep underground.
"How do we get out, the situation outside must be getting worse."
Suddenly thinking of the miserable scene she had seen earlier, Grandia said in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Tombs usually have a road leading to the outside, which is a secret passage deliberately left by craftsmen when they were built."
"How do you know all this?"
In Grantia's imagination, this knowledge was known only to tomb robbers who specialize in tomb robbing, so she wondered where Rosen had obtained it.
"Uh, you know, excavating the ruins is also part of the Grey Knight's job, so ......"
It was impossible for Rosen to tell this young lady that he relied on the tomb robbery novels he had read in his previous life, so he came up with an explanation, regardless of whether the other party accepted it or not, and continued.
"However, most of these passages pass through the main burial chamber where the coffin is kept......"
As he spoke, Rosen stopped, for in his perception the road ahead was blocked by a tall door.
In other words, we have to go through Reed. Gray's coffin. ”
