Chapter Forty-Nine: Tracing the Underground Palace

"Fluorescent flicker!" As a precaution, Alan turned the Miaomiao wizard's robe into a hazmat suit, then lifted the tapestry behind the children's bookshelf and hunched himself into the tunnel. The walls of the tunnel are smooth, as if they had been treated with magic, and they are solid and solid. Alan descended the steps down the tunnel, and walked a few more gentle sections of the road in fits and starts. It didn't take long for Alan to see the light.

It was a small utility room, and the afternoon sun shone straight down through the skylight on the roof of the shed, just where Alan had climbed out. Alan instantly stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and after a while, he adjusted to the light.

Pushing open the door and walking out, it was a deserted garden, with snow piled thick on the high and low ground. Leaving the garden, the surrounding area is desolate and bleak, and farmhouses made of wood, mud, and straw are scattered sparsely in the wilderness. Alan looked back, and not far from the farmhouse stood the manor, enclosed by a high wall. Here, you can see a few patches of snow on the roof of the castle in the manor, gathering scattered sunlight and glittering. Behind the manor, some of the towering peaks reach into the clouds, looking like reefs in the sea.

Alan looked at the time, Emily was about to wake up, and he quickly returned the way he came, already having a rough plan in mind. Returning the tapestry to its original state, and coming to the bedroom door, the little girl in the red dress and the toad appeared on the door again, she gave a quick glance at Alan, and disappeared in an instant. Alan pushed the door open and entered, and Aunt Josephine was nowhere to be seen, but thankfully Emily was still asleep. Alan tiptoed over, gently climbed into bed, lay down beside Emily, closed his eyes, and called out to the system.

"What's the matter with the host?" a sweet voice sounded, it was really a good system, and it was on call.

"You provided me with a map for the last Lizard Man mission, will any of the future missions be supported by maps?" Alan asked.

"Yes, in order to help the host better complete the task, there will be map assistance. ”

"So can I apply for a mission on my own initiative?" Alan continued.

"The host can publish active tasks. However, the difficulty of the task is determined by the system, and the reward is to be determined. ”

"Yes, then please help me post a quest to find Albert Harris. "Alan is really deep in the routine, and he got the results he wanted layer by layer.

"Please be patient, the difficulty of the task is determined. ”

"The system concluded that the difficulty was too low, and suggested that the quest be born to capture the 'Moon Gem'. Does the host accept the task?"

"Accepted. Alan was succinct and to the point, he felt Emily's little hand move, and the little girl was about to wake up.

"Since it is an active mission, the system has no time limit, please continue to refuel. "The system is also very crisp, and the map comes straight to Allen's mind.

Not to mention that Alan played with Emily for an afternoon, and how he chatted with Aunt Josephine. At 9 p.m., after putting Emily to sleep again, Alan casts a "good sleep charm" on the little girl, which is a spell invented by a wizard who suffers from insomnia, according to the Encyclopedia of Charms. After kissing Emily on the forehead, Eren turned to leave.

Stepping out of the farmhouse again, Alan pulled Neptune out of the storage compartment, rolled over and rode on, and sailed into the distance as fast as he could. The cold night wind blew fiercely on Alan's side, but fortunately, Eren had prepared for it, and turned the wonderful wizard robe into a close-fitting suit with wind protection and warmth. Fortunately, the moon and stars were scarce, and through the occasional thin clouds, the farmhouse on the ground seemed to be flattened and spread out, and Alan galloped at incredible speed, and in the hazy night, near the destination, a towering bell tower came into view.

When Allen's feet stepped on the ground, there was a feeling of stepping on cotton. Alan secretly decided that when he returned to Hogwarts, he must go to peek at the training of the senior apparitions.

As you climb the bell tower, an outdoor staircase wraps around the spire of the bell tower hovering like a long snake. Even standing at the top of the bell tower, Alan found no trace of Albert or the Moon Gem. The location of the target shown on the map is probably within this range, and as far as the eye can see, the direction of the target is deserted. Could this gem still be able to go up to heaven and into the earth?

Wait, seeing such a singing bell tower, Allen's first reaction was to climb up, maybe he needs to do the opposite! Alan quickly swept down the stairs again. Sure enough, in the plaza on the outside of the first floor of the bell tower, Alan found an abandoned dry well, where Alan noticed traces of magic. It's wonderful, with such a tall building standing in front of you, who would pay attention to such an abandoned well!

As the so-called artist is bold, relying on the wonderful wizard robe to protect his body, Alan slid down the wall of the well. After an unknown amount of time in the dark, Eren finally stopped sliding, and a long, narrow and dark passage led to a huge stone cave in front of him, the black mouth of which was like a big mouth, ready to devour everything.

"Fluorescent flickering. The wand's blue glow didn't add a sense of security, and with the darkness of the cavern, it made people feel dangerous. But Alan became excited, and without him, the map in his mind once again had a clear way to guide him. Without hesitation, Alan threw himself into the cave and continued to search.

The craggy stone walls were rough and uneven, and after walking through a section of smooth and tamped earth, slowly, the ground gradually became muddy, and if it was a Muggle passing by, it would definitely be difficult. From time to time, streams would block Alan's path, and he would have to wade through. There seems to be nothing special about this underground labyrinth, the muddy earth, the monotonous scenery, the depressed mood. But looking back on Alan's itinerary, if it weren't for the map to guide him, he might have been lost in one fork in the road after another, because the scenery of many stone walls is not too different.

It should be said that so far, everything is quite smooth. In addition to being boring, I really shouldn't complain about anything. With a sudden turn, a very steep slope took Eren deeper, and this slope was even terrifyingly steep, and Eren had to mentally control his balance. After a series of descents, the slope gradually flattened, and the huge underground palace was silent except for Allen's breathing and footsteps. The winding paths crisscross the city, and Alan even loses the concept of time in such a boring walk.

At this moment, Alan heard a loud voice, like an intermittent thunderstorm, and then gradually disappeared into the unknown darkness.
