“...... They don't seem to notice this. ”

In the depths of the pitch-black tunnel, Fanesis, dressed in a black robe, stood at the corner and leaned against the rock wall, his eyes narrowed into a slit staring at the rotting corpses wandering in the distance, and said lightly.

He turned to look back, and the scarred Isaac and Lusen were crouching on the side of the tunnel, holding their breath, their tired and flushed faces difficult to see.

"We're safe, for now. ”

At the moment when Fanesis's understated words fell, Lusen immediately opened his mouth wide and gasped desperately, his body twitching up and down like a fish about to drown;

Isaac on the side was even more unbearable and fell directly to the ground, like a puddle of mud, only his chest kept rising and falling.

"How did you do that?" the gray-eyed boy gasped violently, and his tired and faint voice had a hint of disbelief in his voice, "Let those rotting corpses fail to discover our existence......"

Turning around, Farnesis snorted softly, his cold expression made Lu Sien creepy, and he subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Monsters like rotting corpses are just shoddy monster puppets after all, as long as you know a little about it, you can know the method. Farness's face didn't have much expression: "What's more, this is the tunnel to Nidhogg, and the strong power contained in it is enough to offset our own aura." ”

"All that's left is to try not to make a sound. ”

Lusen, who bowed his head silently, coughed softly, and helped Isaac beside him to sit down against the rock wall, trying not to make his eyes meet the "Lord Farnesis".

As the youngest Banner Leader of the Broken Mountain Fortress, Lusen certainly knew the habits of the Rotting Demons - otherwise, he would not have been able to flee around with such a burden as Isaac and escape countless monsters to come here.

The reason why he still asked such a question was just a ploy on his face to hide his surprised expression.

time, go back almost seven or eight quarters of an hour......

At the moment when Lord Farnesis suddenly appeared, a wave of thousands of carrion demons also arrived as scheduled, and the three of them rushed directly from the entrance into the dark tunnel almost without thinking.

The entire underground tunnel extends in all directions, and there is more than one road, so it is pitch black and you can't see anything clearly, and there seem to be many fractures and broken ice blocking the tunnel due to the change of terrain.

But in such a dark and unfamiliar tunnel, Farnesis, who walked in front, seemed to be very familiar with the structure here, and led the two of them to avoid the army of monsters chasing behind him again and again, and even deliberately led them into traps and cracks several times in succession.

No, that's not just familiarity, it's just... It's like......

It's as if he's been here countless times before, and every path he's walked before!

Wheezing violently, the unbelievable gray-eyed boy couldn't believe what he had guessed.

The other party should have known the exact location of the entrance from Lord Loren's mouth, otherwise he would not have arrived here behind the two of them;

It stands to reason that even if the church really has some great secrets, it should not be enough for him to be familiar with this place to the point of knowing it well.

But beyond that, what else can explain all this?!

Phanesis on the side didn't seem to notice the change in the gray-eyed boy's expression, still staring at the other side of the pit with a blank face, his left hand clutching his bandaged right wrist, and his movements were so hard that half of his arms were trembling slightly.

There... Anything about it?

While taking care of the half-dead Isaac, Lusan secretly peeked at Fanescis's every move from the corner of his eye, and his tense heartstrings never relaxed from the moment he met the other party.

According to Isaac, the "bishop of Farnesis" had died at Ebolden a long time ago, and now he was standing alive in front of him.

Although he had experienced so many things, the strange aura on the other party's body always made him feel an indescribable uneasiness......

"I know what you're trying to ask, illegitimate son of the Wirtz family. ”

The faint and low voice suddenly sounded in his ears, making the gray-eyed young man tremble slightly, and his whole body seemed to freeze as if his eyes were wide, and he didn't even dare to look back.

"Whether you decide to open your mouth or not, it's best not to touch things you shouldn't. ”

"Lord Luceen, believe it or not, the meaning of your existence goes far beyond the value of your life. ”

Farness, who was half-crouching, said slowly, and glanced at him meaningfully: "Because... You should have died in the Broken Mountain Fortress. ”

"Your death caused Conrad de Salion to miss the perfect opportunity to head north, and Dioda found the entrance to Nidhogg and brought the 'Dead' back to light, and the unsuspecting Broken Mountain Fortress. Destroyed by the tide of hundreds of thousands of rotting corpses;

"The Sakran Empire came to an end in the twelfth generation, and the world returned to the chaotic Old Kingdom...... Originally, it was supposed to be like this. ”

"Originally ......"

The gray-eyed boy was so frightened that his pupils trembled, and his body shook suddenly!

Fanesis's expression was gloomy and terrifying, and his deep pupils made Luceen shudder, even if he didn't look at each other.

The next moment, Farnesis slowly got up, directly ignoring the two people who fell to the ground, and walked deeper into the tunnel;

"Please, please wait......"

"The monsters outside did not continue to catch up, indicating that Loren Turin's plan had succeeded, and the apostles of the 'Dead One' should not pose any threat for the time being, and it will never be possible to find the true entrance. ”

"If that's right, it should be in his plan. ”

Fanecis, who didn't look back, said indifferently, with a chill in his voice:

"As for the right path...... It's full of traces of 'apostates', and with a little careful attention you can find the locations of the ancient Sakrand crosses and the inscriptions of the Old Scriptures - and even if you can't find them, the wizard next to you who has woken up and deliberately pretended to be dead should be able to find out!"

The surprised Lusen turned his head, and Isaac, who was lying next to him, rolled his eyes, with a helpless and somewhat frightened expression.

How did he find out......

So familiar with the tunnels, aware of his actions, found Isaac who deliberately pretended to be dead...... Under the calm disguise of the gray-eyed boy, he was already terrified to the extreme.

Swallowing his saliva, Lusen immediately thought of another terrifying fact.

Farnessc... If he really found this place according to Loren's prompt, then how did he know that Isaac could read the ancient Sakran cross and the Old Scriptures?!

Could it be that the other party has the ability to predict the future, or spy on people's hearts... But isn't he the bishop of the Holy Cross, how can he have such power?!

In the pitch-black tunnel, the gray-eyed boy with his head hanging down seemed to be able to feel that there was another pair of eyes on Fanecis's body that was looking at them all the time......

Creepy——!

"Hear me clearly, bastard son of the House of Wirtz, and tell him this when Loren is with you. ”

Fanesis's faint voice came from the other end of the tunnel, his figure seemed to tremble slightly in the darkness, and in the calm words he could faintly hear the sound of clenching his teeth and enduring something:

"Tell Loren Turin that I know exactly what he's looking for, and for what purpose he's coming to Niderhogg at all costs;"

"But... He is doomed to be in vain, like for hundreds of years ... The 'apostate' of the previous year, like Logan, who was regarded as the 'first wizard' by the lowly wizards, will never get everything he wants!"

"If he is as obsessed as he was at Ebolden......

Ned Hogg... That's where he ends!"

The next moment, the emaciated figure disappeared at the end of the tunnel.

The frightened Isaac quickly got up from the ground and hid behind Lusen, clutching his clothes:

"What he just said... What do you mean?!"

"How would I know?"

The gray-eyed boy stared blankly at the place where the other party had disappeared, and his chaotic mind was full of countless questions.

Perhaps this adventure to find the Dragon King City was far from what he could have imagined from the beginning......
