Chapter 454: The Underground Hall and Perception
Lin An woke up suddenly!
The vigilance brought to her by the experience of the ice field caused her to feel a slight tremor for a moment after she woke up, and her eyes, which were still slightly hazy, immediately became clear.
She grabbed the robe next to her pillow and just put it on, the door slammed open, and John, who was holding a long sword and bare his upper body, seemed to have just interrupted his morning exercise, and broke in.
Sidney's arrival was only one step slower than Johan's, and before he appeared, the shadow warrior who had gone ahead had hidden in the corner outside Lin An's room, and all the maids and servants who passed by or ran to Lin An's room passed by unconscious for unknown reasons.
In the floor-to-ceiling window on the side of Lin An's bed, Sidney flew in through the window with spread wings, and the railings and curtains at the window turned into blue fire and disappeared, making Sidney through the window look like an evil magician who had traveled from another time.
"What happened?"
The crystal chandelier above his head jingled and swayed, and several silver long candlesticks on the flat table were staggered, but Lin An, who had experienced the earthquake and avalanche before the Elemental Spring erupted, knew that the tremor he felt now was not an earthquake or other natural disaster.
"The big guy ran out."
Sidney replied succinctly, Lin An had already rushed to the window, and looked out to see that there was a thick and huge trail in the open space between the atrium and the corridor.
The ground seemed to turn into a fragile cheese, and the crack that was too thick was half of the atrium, and the flowers and plants that blocked the castration of the rift along the way all seemed to be lodging on both sides, but fortunately, Lin An did not see conspicuous blood stains and limb fragments on the way through this trace, but heard the sound of many men and women screaming and running.
But if it's caused by a tentacle of the big guy......
Lin An turned his head with an ugly face, "Could it be that the big guy mentioned that it suddenly increased tenfold overnight?" "Such a big trace, saying that it is a big guy, its father Lin An believes a little.
"I don't know."
Sidney replied with a blank face, and then an opal ring on his left index finger lit up, and Nikita's voice rang out:
"Elvis, Master Lynn is on your side. Let her go underground as much as she can. Come on our side, that big guy is almost out of the castle, James and Krum are pinning them down! ”
Judging from the intermittent vibrations, the big guy was on the west side of the castle, and the vibration that woke up Lin An must have been caused by Krum's fight.
Lin An immediately said: "Sidney, go quickly, I have John here here, it's safe." ”
In fact, as long as the big guy doesn't come this way, this side of the atrium is safe.
Sidney nodded, threw a black talisman to Lin An, and walked out through the window again.
Lin An and John didn't stall in the room either. Lin An grabbed the two stone statues placed on the cabinet, and walked down the stairs with John to find the cellar entrance.
Along the way, he saw several fallen maids and servants, and John was stunned. Apparently he hadn't seen him when he entered, but it saved John the trouble of asking someone for the location of the cellar entrance.
He grabbed a valet and shook it a few times, using some force in his hand to wake him up in pain.
"Wake up! Where is the cellar located! ”
The manservant woke up a little dizzy, and his eyelids were blue as if they had been sucked by something. Lin An looked at the symptoms and already knew who did the good thing-
When an unknown change occurs, in addition to hiding, these ordinary servants generally subconsciously gather in the position of authority and objects they can rely on, it is not strange that they gather in Lin An's room, but Sidney obviously will no longer allow strangers to be surrounded by Lin An in a chaotic situation, and the lesson of Pearl Castle makes John and Sidney eat a trench and grow wise.
Lin An's gaze searched several corners nearby. Sure enough, in a corner a few steps away, he found an extraordinarily dark shadow, which was the shadow warrior who Sidney had refined and placed beside Lin An at some point.
"You didn't even mention it to me." Lin An muttered to himself.
John asked a few times. The manservant who was awakened said grogily: "Cellar, in the utility room......"
He dizzily pointed in a general direction.
Lin An had already awakened several other servants and maids with a refreshing spice he was carrying with him at this time, and they woke up groggily, but the vitality absorbed by the shadow warrior could not come back for a while, and they had no strength at all to stand up.
Lin An frowned. I had to say, "Let's go first." ”
Of course, John's safety was his first priority, even if he found the cellar. It was impossible for him to let these strange servants approach Lin An.
But now the situation was not the most urgent, he looked in the direction the manservant was pointing, remembered that he had seen a small and inconspicuous attic when he passed by in the morning exercise, and nodded:
"I know the direction."
After telling the servants who were still in place to hide in a low place and not run around, John picked up Lin An, sent Lin An to the attic as quickly as possible, and after slamming the door onto the wooden door that he didn't know what to hold onto, he quickly rummaged through the ground for the entrance to the cellar.
Lin An looked at John, knowing that he must be worried that the giant octopus would run out of the castle and reach the civilians in the city harbor, and said with a wry smile:
"I'm the one who dragged you down."
With John's character, if it weren't for himself, he would definitely be the first to run when he encounters such a thing, and the quality of pity for the weak in the knight's code will make him risk his life.
But she knew her fellow honorees, and there was no psychological barrier to civilian death and injury, and as long as the giant octopus did not cause damage to the nobles and the dock cargo ships, the negative impact would not increase much - this was a world dominated by the aristocratic class and the powerful and wealthy, and the commoners were just the sand and thatch dominated at the bottom of the world.
They need to prevent the giant octopus from destroying their companions and local nobles near the castle, or escaping in the direction of the docks, so they will definitely lure the giant octopus to the civilian area and use it as a battlefield.
"It's not your fault, not to mention that you're only temporarily losing your ability to cast spells, even if it's forever, I won't change my loyalty to you."
John replied solemnly, and then looked back in Lin An's direction, his eyes lit up, "Found it!" ”
He crossed Lin An and groped his hand on the outer wall of the only dilapidated fireplace in the attic, and after a few moments, there was no cellar entrance on the attic floor. On the contrary, Lin An had a keen hearing and heard the almost silent grinding sound of the stone wall behind the fireplace.
She said to John, who looked around for the entrance to the cellar, "It looks like it's in the fireplace." ”
John was stunned, and glanced at Lin An, both realizing that this could not be the castle's cellar, but more like a secret passage.
John poked into the fireplace, pushing away a bundle of firewood and two planks that were in the way, revealing the passage behind the closet, where the mechanism for the entrance had been opened.
John walked in for a while, and came out after a while, with a little dust on his forehead, and said to Lin An with certainty: "There are traces of entry and exit." Unobtrusive. ”
He said, glancing around, "I should have thought of that." There's nothing piled up here, it's not a utility room. ”
They had apparently mistaken the position the valet was talking about.
"A few steps into the passage is a downward ramp, and at the end there is a basement hall, there is no one in it, no mechanism." Johnham was afraid that something would happen to Lin An outside. It took the shortest possible time to check it out and it came out.
"Go in and have a look." Lin An said.
John nodded, closing the attic door and resealing it.
Lin An stood in front of the entrance of the closet passage, and had already seen the light coming from below, obviously there was a light below, which automatically lit up when John entered, so there was no need to think about the lighting.
A secret passage dug in the Viscount's mansion. They must not be a big threat to Lin An, but Lin An is still more cautious, and hangs the talisman that Sidney gave her around her neck. Following John downward, an opaque shadow followed in the shadows behind Lin An.
The cold fluorite lamp illuminated an empty hall, there was no treasure room or complex secret passage exit as Lin An imagined, and this place looked more like an underground shelter with little effect except for its extremely deep location. This can be seen from the simple storage of beds, tables, and chairs here.
As I was flipping over to the desk, I suddenly heard a thud. A dark shadow emerged from Lin An's shadow and slammed away from Lin An's position, as if it had encountered something it couldn't avoid.
Lin An was stunned and quickly left the desk, and John's quickly rushed over to block in front of her.
But after waiting for a while, nothing unusual appeared, and John tried a few times with his detached fighting qi in the air, splitting the desk to pieces, and found nothing else.
Lin An sensed that something was wrong, and went to look at the shadow warrior in the corner, in the previous mutation, it was like ice and snow encountering fire, and the body without spiritual intelligence was a little thinner, hiding in the corner and refusing to get close to the direction of the desk, and was also a little repulsed by Lin An's approach, and ran to the shadow of a farther corner.
What Lin An realized:
It was the light elemental affinity, and it was natural for the shadow warriors to reject her, but it was obvious that she was more afraid of the position just now, and what that meant was self-evident - there was nothing in this world that terrified the shadow forces more than the light elementals, and that was more extreme and restrained by their magical powers.
Her heart tightened, and she raised her head and said hurriedly: "There is a strong aura of magic here, let's go quickly!" ”
What the shadow warrior encountered was obviously not a trap but just the aura left by the other party, but there was still such a strong reaction, which showed the strength of the other party, and now I am afraid that the other party is not there, but I don't know when he will come back.
John immediately understood what Lin An meant, grabbed her hand and was about to walk towards the passage, when at this moment, footsteps faintly sounded at the other end of the passage.
Zing, Zing-
The grinding sound of some kind of robe dragging on the ground was mixed with regular footsteps.
Lin An's breathing was tight, and he quickly grabbed John, who was about to rush to the entrance of the hall to ambush, quickly patrolled the direction, pointed to a corner next to the desk, and silently signaled, Johnmu picked her up and stuck there silently.
Lin An took out the stone statue of the lion-winged beast from her arms, stroked it twice, and the crouching lion-winged beast stretched out in her hand, her eyes widened and changed to a spirited look, and her posture settled.
Not long after the posture of the lion-winged beast stone statue was set, the sound of sizzling footsteps came to a few feet away from the entrance of the underground hall, and it suddenly stopped.
Lin Anzheng was puzzled, and suddenly raised his head suddenly, looking at the fluorite lamp on the roof of the underground hall, and the dim light was faintly projected on the ground.
Oh no, the other party has already noticed that someone has come in!
(To be continued)
