As soon as he entered the ground, a pungent smell of blood rushed to his nose, ten times farther than on the ground.

Alisa, who was walking in front, suddenly let out an 'ah' at this time, subconsciously took a step back, and almost bumped into Fang Yuan. Fang Yu hurriedly held her with his hand, and at the same time looked over Miss Nightingale's shoulder, and only then did he look at the scene in front of him by the light of the pine resin torch, and his stomach immediately churned.

In the darkness, the cellar was a little cramped.

In this narrow space, a five-pointed star array painted with blood in the center of the cellar is particularly eye-catching, although the viscous blood has dried up to a heavy black now, it still gives people a sense of evil and uneasiness. Above the apex of the pentagram, there are scattered pieces that originally belonged to a certain part of the human body—

A binocular skull is being placed directly in front of the entrance. The skull was pale, its drooping eyelids were sunken inward, like a skeleton, its mouth was wide open, and two spots of blood and tears ran down it, and its eyes and tongue had already been gouged out.

Next to the fragments were some butter candles, which had long since burned dry. Farther away, in the corners of the room, there were mountains of corpses, missing arms and legs, or beheaded, bleeding profusely, and a thick layer of black dots on the gray walls, wriggling beyond the firelight. When I looked closer, I realized that it was a thick layer of flying insects.

Between the flesh and blood flowed a river of white flesh, and it was an uncountable number of maggots, coming and going between the bones. When Tianlan saw this scene, his face turned pale, and he took three steps back, as if he had been punched in the face, and retched with a 'wow'.

She didn't even dare to make a loud noise, but immediately said:

"I—I suddenly felt a little unwell, so I went up first."

Then he pulled Kita and ran back the same way without looking back.

Luo Yu looked up, then turned back to look apologetic at the others, and then chased after him as well. Fang Yu didn't stop the three of them, after all, Parker and the box had already come down to see it once before, and there was no danger here, and there was no need for so many people.

But the Paparal, though he had been here before, was now cowering outside, not afraid to enter, not because he was worried about the disgusting stench, but about the innumerable insects in the cellar.

The rest of the people didn't look good, they hadn't seen a tragic scene, and the hellish scene in Dorifin's sea of fire was not far behind here.

But after all, it was a fantasy, and it was more than a step away from the experience of putting yourself in the shoes of others.

Only Attila looked at this scene, her expression could still be a little calm, and she turned back and said to everyone:

"This is the typical ritual sacrifice of a 'blind follower'."

"They summoned Descartes here, probably to mass-produce 'Blood Worms', and the 'Blood Servant' is one of the experiments," she turned around and looked at the cellar with a not very good face: "Their 'experiment' didn't seem to go well, otherwise they wouldn't have left so many corpses, but the previous 'Blood Servant' shows that the other party is not a complete failure." ”

"They may have succeeded in the experiment before the transfer, and although there were not many samples, they still prepared usable 'blood worms'."

"What does the 'blind follower' want to do?" Alyssa's voice was a little uneasy and she whispered, "Use the blood worm to create panic, in Tansnir?" ”

Attila shook her head: "Historically, they did have such a criminal record. "She didn't say a word of subtext, but everyone could see her shaking her head, maybe the 'Blind Follower' would do that, but not necessarily Tansnir.

"These people are really unreasonable...... Alyssa couldn't help but shake her head uneasily: "What are they doing this for?" ”

"What's even more unreasonable is that," Luo Hao replied on the side, "maybe there are still electors involved." ”

"How is this possible?"

"Isn't it strange to forget where those slaves came from?"

Alyssa kept her mouth shut with a very ugly face.

Abed was also a little silent on the side, and then he looked up and said, "I must report this matter to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"This is natural," Fang Yu replied with the same ugly face as he withdrew his gaze from below, "but there is no hurry for this moment, let's investigate this place first, Mr. Abed." ”

The latter listened, bowed slightly, and agreed.

At this time, Luo Hao put the big shield aside and said to everyone: "Shall we go in and have a look?" ”

Alyssa looked inside the cellar with disgust.

Fang Yu stretched out his hand to stop Sylvid, who was about to enter the cellar, and whispered, "You are waiting for me outside." ”

The ship's master raised her head, smiled at him a little gently, and did not say anything against it.

Fang Yucai said to the elf lady on the side, "Miss Attila, please take care of Sylvid and Sugar Candy. ”

Miss Elf looked at him quietly and nodded. If there was any trouble she might encounter, it would only be in the cellar, and she understood that Fang Yu asked her to stay, but it was actually just a pretext. As a believer of nature, she was not very accustomed to such occasions.

But then she said, "Wait, Eddard. ”

Then he reached to the back of his neck, took off the pendant with the emblem of Ameya, and hung it on the mouth of Fang Yu's heart.

"Now you can." After doing all this, she nodded.

Fang Yu held the Holy Emblem a little confused, and faintly felt that Ameya's gaze had returned to him again. He was a little surprised, but he didn't hesitate, and only turned back to the others and said, "Luo Hao, Parker, Mr. Abed, let's go in and have a look." ”

Parker shuddered, hugging the doorpost and shrinking back, screaming, "I'm not going in!" ”

It's a pity that this is not up to him.

Under Fang Yuan's signal, Luo Hao grabbed this guy and dragged him in.

Abaid seemed very calm, and the innkeeper only kept his head down for a moment, as if he was still thinking about the 'blood worm'. At this time, after listening to Fang Yuan's instructions, he nodded and followed Luo Hao in.

It's strange to say.

Just as the three of them entered the cellar, the dense flying insects on the wall 'buzzed' and flew apart, but when they were about to fly towards the door, the Emea's emblem on Fang Yuan's chest suddenly emitted a scorching light.

Wherever the light passed, the flying insects on the ground and walls scattered as if they were hiding from the plague, lest they could avoid it.

A large area of the cellar was immediately vacated.

Seeing this scene, Parker, who was being grabbed by Luo Hao, stopped struggling, staring at his dark eyes, and couldn't help but be amazed.

And Fang Yu looked down at the holy emblem on his chest with a little surprise, and couldn't help but think in his heart that believing in divine power is really useful—do you also want to find a god to believe in or something? For example, the alchemist's protector, Angie is a good choice.

But cousin Tang Xin is also a priest and a believer in Milella, but it seems that apart from mastering a little fur healing spell, the goddess of life has never shown any miracles on her.

Is there such a big difference between a hypocrite and a true believer?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back.

After all, the two have lived together for more than ten years, Tang Xin instantly understood what his stupid cousin meant, and said angrily: "Look at it, I'm just a rookie pastor, but I don't have the ability to let Ms. Milella take care of it." ”

Sylvid smiled slightly, and punned, "In fact, there are not many believers like Miss Atila who can be trusted by Lady Ameya. ”

Fang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and felt as if this was really the case.

And he looked at Miss Elf, who was still flat, and didn't care about their discussion.

But discussion aside, he turned and walked into the cellar.

There was not much space in the cellar, and the four of them covered their mouths and noses with their hands, enduring the discomfort caused by the stench, and walked all the way to the other end. There were shelves full of bottles and jars, as well as a few snow-white skulls, blood-stained handsaws, pliers, and other tools.

The four of them rummaged through it separately to see if any useful clues were left, and the sharp-eyed Paparral saw a blood-stained silver cup on the shelf, and he stepped forward and took it off the shelf on tiptoe.

But after he took back the cup, before he could wipe it with his sleeve, he saw a swarthy millipede crawling out of the cup.

This terrifying scene suddenly frightened the little guy into letting out a miserable scream, and threw the cup hard, causing it to fall to the ground with a 'clang'. At the same time he stepped back and slammed into the cabinet behind him, which creaked and tilted down, and it seemed to be weighing on him.

Fortunately, Fang Yuan's hands were quick and he used his hands to block the falling trend of the cabinet. It's just that the empty door of the cabinet opened, and the glassware inside fell out like raindrops, shattering to the ground.

Fang Yu looked down at these glassware, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Those are actually a set of alchemical vessels. In fact, it is something similar to the curved-neck flask, which is mainly used for distillation, condensation, and condensation, and in Aitalia, no one uses this kind of thing except for alchemists and apothecaries.

This clearly indicates that there is at least one alchemist who has 'worked' here. But as for whether it was the wandering alchemist, it could only be said that in his heart at the moment, it was obvious that the other party was very suspicious.

It's just that he doesn't understand why the other party took the initiative to expose it and make a move as big as taking away Inhandz Type IV from the 'Sand Journey'.

In fact, if it weren't for that incident, Princess Rupert might not have been in such a hurry to rush back from Bargo, and the other party would have exposed her whereabouts, what was the plan? Was it unintentional, or was it a deliberate attempt to bring Princess Rupert to this place?

Thinking of this, he was not even in the mood to bother with Parker, so he only pushed the cabinet back, and then turned back to Abed and asked:

"By the way, Mr. Abed, when you searched here, did you find any traces of the Inhandz IV that was lost in the 'Sand Journey'?"

Abed listened and shook his head at him.

"With the size of the Inhandz IV, even if it is placed in the courtyard, it is easy to see from the outside. And the hall inside will never be able to fit this magic guide structure. Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied.

At this time, Luo Hao came over and pulled Parker up from the ground. The Paparal patted the dust off his body and continued, "I guess the other party must have informatized the structure." ”

"Come on," Luo Hao replied at this time: "When did you hear that the main structure and the dragon knight can be informatized, then what else do you need to send the 'slider' for?" ”

Parker was slapped in the face and was immediately dissatisfied: "How do you know if there is none?" ”

Luo Hao looked at this guy and sneered: "At least I won't be scared by a horse and urine." ”

"Who's going to be," the Paparal's dark eyes rolled, and he immediately changed the subject, "By the way, what about my cup." ”

With that, he ran over alone.

But it wasn't long before Fang Yu heard the little fat man's dejected shouts: "These damned bastards, these heinous murderers, criminals against humanity, Grande—" and at the end he added:

"This cup turned out to be silver-plated!"

Fang Yu and Luo Hao glanced at each other, and both shook their heads speechlessly.

But at this time, Luo Hao bent down and picked up a stack of parchment paper from the glass fragments on the ground, he shook the stack of paper, shook off the glass slag on it, and then asked with some surprise: "What is this?" ”

Fang Yu actually saw the stack of parchment, but there was nothing on it.

He thought for a moment, and suddenly said to the other party, "Show me." ”

Luo Hao handed over the parchment as he said.

Fang Yu held the parchment paper in his right hand, and took out a bottle of thumb-sized reagent from under his coat in his left hand, as an alchemist, all kinds of basic magic reagents and developers were naturally carried with him.

The developer he uses is the latest magic product from the Elffindor Council, and can be used in a variety of situations. He opened the stopper and poured the liquid onto the parchment, which was not damp with the liquid, but as if mercury was rolling across the paper, and after the reagent flowed, lines of writing were revealed on the parchment.

As soon as Fang Yu saw these words, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

"The Abyssal Sea Scroll."

On the side, Luo Hao also whispered.

Fang Yu silently flipped through a few pages before confirming that this was indeed the Abyssal Sea Long Scroll, which was the same batch given to him by Her Royal Highness Princess Rupert. However, he did not read deeply, but after a few glances, he rolled up the parchment and put it away.

"Strange." At this time, Luo Hao muttered again.

"How?" Fang Yu looked at the latter.

Luo Hao then analyzed: "It stands to reason that these things should not be general, they should be taken away with the transfer of the other party, how could they stay in this place so hastily?" ”

Fang Yu thought about it for a moment and realized that it seemed to be true.

At this time, Luo Hao said again: "Commander, you also heard it before, when the princess's subordinates found this place, the corpse decomposed for almost three or four days. In other words, the time for the other party to leave should be very abundant at least within this time, and it should not be so panicked. ”

Fang Yu nodded again, almost exactly that.

He looked at the other party, and when he saw that the other party wanted to speak and stopped, he asked, "Luo Hao, what else do you think?" ”

Luo Hao thought for a while, and then replied: "Actually, I felt a little strange before, in my opinion, the other party left too many clues. For example, if the other party is not in a hurry, it can be cleaned up without leaving any clues. ”

"But it is also possible that this is a demonstration," Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied: "The other party is unscrupulous, does not take the latecomers in his eyes, and leaves everything outside, it may be just to put pressure on Princess Rupert." ”

"There is such a possibility," Luo Hao did not object: "But in this case, the other party wants to hide this cellar?" Captain, you know, if it weren't for Luo Yu, the princess's people wouldn't even have discovered this place. In other words, if the other party wants to keep the cellar, it should not be so secretive. But if it's not intentional, it doesn't explain what lies underneath. ”

Fang Yu looked at the glassware fragments on the ground and couldn't help but nod.

"So," he asked, "is it possible that the other party left this place in a hurry?" ”

"It's not right in terms of time." Luo Hao shook his head.

As soon as these words came out, the two of them couldn't help but fall silent.

And it was at this time that Abed, who was in front, suddenly stepped on the sound of rustling footsteps and walked back.

The owner of the 'Sand Journey' came to them, holding an object in his hand, and said, "Both, I found something in the wall, which seemed to be a letterhead, but there was no text on it either. Mr. Ed, you might want to take a look. ”

"Clamping the wall?"

Abaid nodded, and pointed behind him, "In that place, I didn't find it so easily, but the blood stains on the wall made the loose brick look a little eye-catching. ”

Hearing this, Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at Luo Hao, wondering if this was the 'answer to the dead'?

But he still took the letterhead from Abed's hand, opened it, and sure enough, as the other party said, there was not a word on the letterhead, and it looked like it was just an ordinary piece of paper.

It's just that the lower left corner of this letter paper is stained red with blood, which is a little shocking. Fang Yu held the letter paper, and there was just half of the developing reagent left in his hand, so he picked it up and poured it on.

But this time, the development reagent that had been tried and tested before failed to work.

Several people were stunned when they saw this scene.

Is there no text on this letterhead in the first place?

What does it mean that the 'blind follower' carefully hides it in the wall, a prank? But Fang Yu shook his head, believing that the other party should not do such a boring thing.

But he took the letterhead, and suddenly remembered something in his heart, opened the dragon knight system, and looked at the letterhead. Sure enough, a moment later, the name of the letterhead was swiped out on the light pages of the system—it turned out to be a complete sentence:

'Inform Mr. B that the goods have arrived and that this letterhead should be sent before the moon of irises-'

When Fang Yu saw this, he couldn't help but be taken aback in his heart.

Because the person who can deliver the message in this way is almost always the one who is called.
