The gate of the monastery was closed, and a few crows perched on the branches of the old tree inside, and the quacking of the night added to the eerie silence of the night.

Unmasking his silver mask, Lewis stood in front of the convent in contemplation, he was also a member of the Sword of Damocles, who had been wounded in his left arm in the previous great battle and had to leave the Imperial army.

But the spy agency in Licinius' hands found him and hired him at great expense, so Lewis entered the Sword of Damocles as an instructor.

Lewis was followed by ten samurai in the same attire, who had come this time to investigate the members of the Sword of Damocles who had disappeared before.

All the clues pointed here, and what surprised the upper echelons was that it was just some low-level investigators who suddenly disappeared into this land without a trace!

"My lord, we're all set." It was Luca, one of Lewis's right-hand men who spoke this time.

Lewis had seen each of them carry a small crossbow, a quiver with thirty arrows in it, and a black nightcoat covering their bodies, revealing only the sharp edge of the scimitar beneath them.

"Get in!" Lewis stared for a long time, although the atmosphere here was quiet, but the sense of foreboding that lingered in his heart did not dissipate, and the intuition of the battlefield for many years had not degraded.

"Let's all be careful, and get out as soon as we find something wrong!"

"Okay!"

"May God bless us, Amen!"

Lewis instinctively crossed and prayed to God, but he quickly smiled wryly, they were about to step into the monastery, and what would happen next would not be considered blasphemy.

The men who had been hoisted in by ropes from the wall were already greeting Lewis, and without any change, he finally relented, and followed him into the monastery, so as to see if there was anyone they were looking for.

"Split into two teams and search, if we're lucky, we probably won't have any fights today."

Lewis spoke as he entered the church, and then he went in with five people, and his deputy, Luca, groped his way along the backyard with four others.

Walking in the empty church, there was no light in the dark, and Lewis's hand holding the scimitar couldn't help but bruise.

In fact, in his mind, if he lost a few people, he would lose it, and it would be good to find anything, or directly send the local garrison to search, but a low-level Roman soldier like him could not control the will of the nobles.

Stepping through the door of the prayer room, Lewis slammed the door open, it was still empty, he was very strange, there was not even a priest, where had they gone, even if they had to rest, they would have to be left on duty!

"Head, we didn't find anything, there's no one here!" A few of the subordinates who were scattered around searching also came back to report, and it was strange that there was no one in them.

Sweeping the stone pillars around him, Lewis made a bold move by lighting the candle directly, and the bright light of the fire reflected the scene around him, and the small church was only empty rows of seats.

The door of the church was pushed open again, and it was Luca and several of his men who walked in, and now everyone arrived, but seeing that they came back empty-handed, it is estimated that no one was found.

"My lord, no one!" Lukka shook his head, and sure enough, it was the same as Lewis thought.

But Lewis did not speak, and he continued to walk up and down the small church, and after about a week he walked back to the place of the prayer room, where he stood for a long time, and Lewis fell into deep thought.

"Luca, are you sure you've searched everywhere?" Lewis asked again.

"My lord, we did search all over the place, there is no one we are looking for, and there is not a priest, we seem to have come to a church that has long been empty!"

Lukka was puzzled, and the specific goal of this mission was not specified, but he just asked them to come and find someone, and the trouble had just begun.

Looking back at the shabby decoration of the church, everything around him was in his eyes, and the monastery was so big, it didn't make sense that there was no one!

Yes! Just because there's no one on the ground doesn't mean there's no one underground!

"Where's the grave here?" The moment Lewis spoke, Luca also understood which key position they were missing.

"My lord, I'll take you."

Luca led Lewis out of the church, and there was a mess of graves, littered with crosses and broken tombstones, the epitaphs on which had long since been blown away by the wind and frost, leaving only the scars to tell the world about the ancient and unverifiable history of this place.

"Go knock and see which tombstone is hollow underneath!"

There is definitely something wrong with the priest here.

Lewis asked everyone to hold torches and look for clues left by the undead, perhaps God forbid, and a samurai quickly stopped after a few brief knocks on a tombstone, shouted, and everyone gathered around.

After a few taps, Lewis was sure that there must be no space underneath, and that there was no small space underneath!

After priing open the tombstone and groping for a few times, Lewis finally found the entrance to the tunnel, and with the efforts of more than a dozen people, he forced to pry the board behind the tombstone, revealing a dark secret passage.

"Is this it?"

Lewis's face was already solemn, this monastery is not simple, if it is an ordinary place, it is possible for the convent to get some cellars to treasure gold and silver artifacts.

But this is not an ordinary cellar, it is so big and deep, no matter how you look at it, it is not right.

"Go down and see what the priests are doing here!"

Lukka was the first to enter, carrying a short crossbow, a little fire was the only light in the darkness, and the warriors behind him drew their scimitars to protect them.

These former Imperial soldiers were specially recruited by the Sword of Damocles, and Lewis was confident that he would take on any enemy, and this group of priests with bad intentions had no chance of winning.

The darkness in the underground was gradually replaced by the light at the end, and there was actually a spacious space underground, and Lewis already had some speculations in his heart as he looked at this huge underground secret passage.

It is estimated that the monks here have long since hollowed out the tomb below, and the bones of the imperial nobles who were originally buried here must have been abandoned by the priests to a miscellaneous place in the middle of nowhere.

The secret passage below is divided into two, along which there are torches inserted on both sides, Lewis gestures to Luca, and the two separate again, Lewis stepped into the secret passage on the right, and Lukka entered the secret passage on the left.

Lewis didn't know where the deep secret path was, but his sense of smell from years of fighting on the battlefield told him that there was blood ahead.

Several of the samurai who had come with him had already taken off their crossbows and walked back to back in pairs towards the depths of the secret passage.
