"But the most dangerous place, but also the safest place. The entrance to the secret dungeon in the headquarters of the night owl in our Zhangye county town is hidden in this firewood room. ”

After saying that, the night owl commander made a gesture of invitation to Li Wenyuan, and then took the lead and walked into the firewood room.

Seeing that the night owl leader took the lead in entering the night owl headquarters, Li Wenyuan turned his head to look at the other people around him, only to see that their faces also had expressions of confusion. Of course, the only people who can follow the Night Stalker's headquarters are the officials of Zhangye County and the Night Stalker's own people. The officials of Zhangye County were even left in the main hall where Fang Cai was staying, and were not allowed to follow the Night Stalker Commander to see this secret dungeon in the Night Stalker's headquarters. After all, this is a secret within a secret, and it has never been easily known by outsiders.

After Li Wenyuan looked around, he followed the night owl commander into the so-called firewood room in the night owl headquarters, which was actually the entrance to the dungeon.

After entering the firewood room, I saw that the night owl commander did not light a candle, but just groped in front, moving forward one small step at a time, and the more he was in the firewood room, the dimmer the light became. Li Wenyuan was only barely able to take advantage of the light shining in from the door, vaguely watching the reflection of the armor on the night owl commander in front of him, so that he could confirm his whereabouts and not lose it. The Night Stalker Commander said to Li Wenyuan as he walked forward cautiously:

"His Royal Highness King Tang, don't be surprised. Although this is the entrance to our night owl dungeon, this is also a firewood house. If you start a fire candle here, I'm afraid that if you are not careful, we will be able to go out directly, but those brothers in the dungeon will be choked by the smoke, and if you don't do it, you will kill people. So every time you enter the dungeon, you can only enter in the dark, don't be surprised, as long as we enter the dungeon, there are enough lights and candles on both sides to illuminate the torches. ”

"Oh, I see. Indeed, as you said, if you touch an open flame here, there is a danger of fire. Be careful, safety first. I can understand you, lead the way ahead. After listening to the words of the Night Stalker Commander, Li Wenyuan knew that what the Night Stalker Jungle said was indeed true, so he nodded and continued to the Night Stalker Commander in front of him.

After listening to Li Wenyuan's words, the Night Stalker Commander stopped talking, and he had been counting the number of steps he took as he moved forward in small steps. After counting a certain number, the Night Stalker Commander stood still, then reached out and touched the wall in front of him.

I don't know where I touched it, but I heard a click. It seemed to have touched some kind of information agency, and then only the rumbling sound of gear snapping was heard. Li Wenyuan suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and he saw that the wall in front of him had turned over, revealing a passage that could only be passed side by side.

In the inner passage, torches or lamps are placed on the walls on both sides, illuminating the passage. After staying in the darkness for a long time, Li Wenyuan's eyes were actually reflected by the fire in front of him, and he couldn't help but squint.

After waiting for a while, Li Wenyuan's eyes adjusted to such brightness. All he saw was that the Night Stalker Commander was already in the middle of the passage, and he was waving back to him. So Li Wenyuan also stepped forward and passed through the mechanism of this copy door. When everyone entered, the Night Stalker Commander pulled down a lever in the passageway, and the entire flap door was back in place.

Li Wenyuan was amazed when he watched from the sidelines, there were many skilled craftsmen in ancient times, who were able to make the internal structure of a sophisticated mechanical mechanism, but the most difficult thing to deal with with this kind of large-scale machine was to set up the power source. Without the drive of the power source, these brackets are just decorations and have no utility.

I just don't know what the power source used to activate this flap door is? Could it be to use the yellow sand that can be found everywhere in the Western Regions? Or is it the mercury that can be refined by systematic and efficient purification methods because of alchemy? Or is there an underground river running through the city under the headquarters of this night owl? The more Li Wenyuan thought about it, the more he felt a headache, but he couldn't think of a clue.

Suddenly, the night owl commander in front of him stood still, and Li Wenyuan, who was pondering, almost hit his head on top of him. After Li Wenyuan also followed the night owl commander to stand firmly, he leaned out to the side to see what was in front of him, this night owl commander was walking well, why did he stop so suddenly while walking.

Li Wenyuan poked his head out, and with the help of the lights, candles, and torches on both sides of the passage, Li Wenyuan saw that the passage in front of him had suddenly widened, from a passage that could only accommodate two people to pass through to a wide passage large enough to accommodate four carriages side by side.

Further on, blocking the passage is a building resembling a city gatehouse. The whole building is made of stones and connected by earth. In the middle is a mahogany door that opens to the side. On the wall there is a female wall, there are battlements, and there is a gate tower with a pure wooden structure. It was also filled with torches, making the walls as bright as daylight. With the help of the lights, you can see that there are many men in black armor patrolling the city walls, and if nothing else, these are the night owls guarding the dungeon.

The Night Stalker Commander stepped forward, greeted the Night Stalkers, and showed his waist card. After the night owl guarding the city confirmed that it was correct, the redwood's open gate creaked open under the control of the night owl. In the end, the night owl commander made a gesture of invitation to Li Wenyuan, and then continued to lead the way in front.

Li Wenyuan followed behind the night owl commander and crossed the city wall. Then he turned his head to look at the city wall, only to find that there was also the same female wall inside the city wall. Similar to the strong bows and crossbows used for external defense, there are also a number of strong bows and crossbows on the female walls facing inward. It seems that the effect of this wall is to resist those who try to rob the prison by force, and to resist those who try to escape by force inside.

It seems that although this dungeon looks inconspicuous from above, it is just a firewood room, but after entering from the firewood room, it is a sloping downward passage, and people have already walked deep underground before they know it. Moreover, the defense of the city wall was tighter, and the width of the area in front of the city wall was limited. The bows, crossbows, arrows and muskets arranged on the city wall are enough to cover the entire area, leaving no dead ends, which can really be called an easy to defend and difficult to attack.
