Chapter 34: The Secret Under the Hiccup Dragon Tavern

Benedict did not immediately go to meet the Pope and Richard when he learned that they had been invited into the city of Ræma, because the black-robed Kemar told him many strange and terrifying stories about what happened to him after excavating the cemetery of Clement.

As soon as the Desets took over the Holy City, the Mages sent people around to dig up the burial site of Clement, and the painful and humiliating memories of hundreds of years ago are still deeply etched in their hearts.

Although during the period of Tambolance Empire's control, many Dessert merchants also secretly did their homework, but almost all of them returned empty-handed. A few people seem to have found a clue, but then mysteriously disappeared.

Now that the Desserts were in control of the city, they could visit it openly and justifiably.

At first, the Black Robe Society thought that as the first pope recognized by the Tamborance Empire, Clement's burial place should be very luxurious, even if it had passed for hundreds of years, at least it would not be heard from. But the actual situation shocked them, not only the people in the city did not know, but even the monks in the church were at a loss.

The five reviews of the Black Robe Society totaled and felt that the bottom of the Bojiao Church was likely to be the burial place of Clement, so they ordered people to dig day and night, but the results were very unsatisfactory, because the place where the church was located, the geology was relatively soft, and it took a lot of effort to dig a section and collapse a section, and it took a lot of effort to see any results.

At this time, the Five Judges received a mysterious message that there were many treasures buried under the Hiccup Dragon Tavern in the city, and it was likely that they also contained the relics of Bo Pope Clement.

The person delivering the message was of medium height, covered in layers of thick cloth, and although the weather in the north was a bit chilly at that time, his outfit was still very surprising. In order to avoid being remembered for his face, the guy pulled the tight clothes on his body all the way to the top of his head, covering his facial features tightly.

This person didn't know what kind of trick he used, anyway, when the five judges were discussing in the Bojiao Church, the people who were on guard outside the door didn't hear any movement at all, but this strange person had already appeared in front of the five heavyweights of the Black Robe Society.

He spoke not quickly, but concisely, and strode out to the main entrance as he spoke. Wu Zheng just wanted the doorman to stop him, but he saw a dazzling white light flashing, and when everyone came back to their senses, the guy was gone.

The black-robed people were at a loss now, so they didn't think about anything, since someone in front of them had provided clues, then they would be the dead horse doctors, and they immediately packed up and hurried to the Hiccup Dragon Tavern.

Who knew that although the boss Hyde was usually silent and looked like a good gentleman, after hearing about the decision of the Black Robe Society, he immediately expressed his unacceptability. He said to Kanin, one of the Five Commentators, "Master, to be honest, our tavern has a long history, and this wine flag has stood here since the city of Roma did not exist. The first boss at that time was a hybrid of elves and humans, and everyone looked down on him, but it was surprising to find out that he had befriended a powerful dragon. It is said that the dragon lies dormant underneath the Hiccup Dragon Tavern, and it is the patron saint of the tavern. If you dig now, if there are three long and two short, I will have to clamp it at both ends, and the left and right are not people!"

Kanin had long been familiar with the Hiccup Dragon Tavern, a must-stop for Dessert merchants when they were to trade south. He knew in his heart that what this boss said was not necessarily all pretext, so he comforted: "No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with you, and neither the Black Robe Society nor the Desetes will hold you accountable, don't worry." ”

As he spoke, he didn't let the tavern owner speak again, and hurriedly instructed his men to dig up from the back of the tavern.

This time it went very well, and at once it was dug very deep, and several mages who explored the path noticed that there seemed to be traces of artificial tunneling under the tavern. They excitedly briefed the five commentaries on the ground.

Overjoyed, Kanin shouted, "Look carefully, dig through the traces." ”

Digger reminded, "Be safe, there may be traps and other things in the tunnels." ”

The day's harvest was very rich, and there were a large number of priceless gold and silver vessels in the ancient tunnel under the Hiccup Dragon Tavern, and the five judges felt that this time it was finally a bit reliable.

Just when everyone was complacent, the next day's excavation went into serious trouble.

A disgusting mysterious creature appeared in the tunnel, they were covered in green, moving and crawling like snakes, and several young black-robed mages did not know what to do, and they used digging tools to beat them desperately, so that the green slime splashed everywhere, and several unlucky people were put down by these poisonous things on the spot. The tunnel suddenly became a pot of porridge.

At that time, the tunnel was already very deep, and the people on the ground could not know what was going on at first glance.

Because of yesterday's fruitful results, the five reviews were very comfortable in their hearts and did not take any special precautions.

At this time, there is only one person in the tunnel who is still in his right mind, and since melee combat is not good, then use magic. Considering that the space was small, and if he was not careful, he would hurt himself, so he chose the fire wall technique, which could effectively contain those poisons and prevent them from getting close to him.

When he saw that his fellow citizens were dead and wounded, and that he only had two hands, he was really unable to support himself, so he turned around decisively and ran out of the tunnel in a hurry.

The fifth judge was chatting proudly about something in the spring breeze, and when he saw his disciple's embarrassment, his heart suddenly sank, and Kanin asked, "What's wrong, Hasio?"

"Master, a mysterious green creature has appeared in the tunnel, and it is poisonous, and the excavators have suffered heavy casualties. ”

Old man Digger was very serious about Hasio, and helped him wipe the smoke from his face.

When Kanin learned about the situation, he didn't panic: "I guess it's a soft mud monster, I'll go down with Master Musa to take a look." ”

Despite Digger's objections, Hasio insisted on going back to help.

Kanin agreed to his request.

Inside the tunnel, the green stuff rotated three hundred and sixty degrees like headless flies because of its fear of fire. Kanin and Moussa didn't say a word, but two large fireballs beckoned them, and the earth shook suddenly, and the entire tunnel seemed to be about to collapse. When the dust had settled and he could barely open his eyes, he saw only Hasio's poor companions and the ooze monsters reduced to a scorched earth.

The young mage couldn't help but weep bitterly, he was very puzzled by what the two masters were doing.

Mouses comforted him: "You have done a good job of blocking them with a wall of fire. These things are inherently afraid of fire. Each of your companions has been poisoned by the Ooze Monster, a deadly substance with no antidote. Long pain is better than short pain, rather than let them live and die, it is better to give them a good time. ”

"But there's a lot of fire magic, so why do you have to use fireballs. The space inside the tunnel is so small that it will collapse entirely!" said Hasio, annoyed.

"When these things encounter a very dangerous situation, they will split themselves, and the fireball technique will kill with one blow, leaving no room for anything. Kanin explained.

In fact, he was telling a little lie. Although the ooze monsters can split, it is when they do not encounter open flames, as long as they are casually next to the slightest spark, these deadly poisons will wilt and lose the ability to resist.

The reason why Kanin and Moussa want to do this is, of course, also considered. The ooze monster is extremely poisonous, and those poisoned mages cannot be touched by others at all, otherwise there is a chance that they will suffer. In order to take care of the overall situation, it is better to solve the problem as soon as possible.

The people on the ground heard a loud noise and felt a little shaking. Digger and the other three commentators were not at ease, and they were ready to go down to see for themselves. The people on the side tried hard to persuade each other, and Kemar took advantage of it and said: "Master, the reason why the Black Robe Society wants to establish the organizational structure of the five commentators is not only to open up the way of speech, but also to make it impossible for the hostile forces to easily carry out the decapitation operation. The five commentators should not take risks together, and I would like to lead a few mages down to see what is going on. ”

Kemar was well behaved and trusted by Kanin, and Digger was very reassuring to him, so he nodded in agreement.

Kanin, on the other hand, had already stepped over the charred corpse and continued to investigate inward, and there was almost no need to dig by hand at this time, because they had already entered the ancient artificial tunnel.

With Hasio in front and the two masters behind, the young man looked left and right, always vigilant, and suddenly he felt a dazzling light flickering in front of him, and said excitedly: "It seems to be a treasure!"

All three of them were in high spirits, and Kanin walked in front of Hasio, despite the danger. The light became more and more dazzling, and Canin narrowed his eyes, carefully distinguishing them, only to find that it was not a treasure, but a magical medium cold crystal.

As the Bo Pope, it is impossible for Clement to use the cold crystals required by pagan magic. Kanin suddenly felt that all these days of hard work had been in vain.

Musa then arrived, and in the face of the cold crystal in his eyes and a frustrated Kanin, he expressed a different opinion: "It is true that Clement is the Pope of the Liberal Sect, but the relics of the Prophet Cyril that he keeps do not necessarily have to follow the purpose of the Confession. After all, Cyril was a strange man from the Eastern Continent, and he hadn't used cold spar before he started the Liberal Arts? With such a huge tunnel, I can't think of anyone who once lived in Roma City who could match it. ”

Kanin also felt that it made sense when he mentioned this, and he cheered up again.

Musa continued: "There must be some use for so many cold crystals gathered together. I think it's better for us to go up and talk to Diger and the others first. There may be greater danger next, and it is important to be prepared beforehand. ”

Kanin nodded approvingly.

Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
