Chapter 2231: Warrior Legacy (5)

Bediwell's judgment was very correct, and they didn't go far before they saw the staircase going down, and it was a very luxuriously arranged spiral staircase, connecting dozens of floors up and down, extending deeper into the ground.

"Without the breath of blood, at least there won't be a mechanism in the part of the ladder. "Bedivel Road.

"So---" Arthur boldly walked into the stairwell, heading in the direction of the underground.

The structure of the staircase is exactly what Arthur had guessed. The upper floor of the Warrior's Tomb is extremely luxuriously decorated, and it should have been used for living in the past. So although there are still quite a few terrible killing traps in this superstructure, the number of traps is not much, just enough to defend against intruders. The staircase is not placed in a very private place, but appears generously in the central area of this "palace", providing convenience for the original occupants to go up and down the floors.

Still, because the Warrior's Tomb itself is a very large structure, adventurers who come here to explore the treasure hunt will not go straight to the bottom like Arthur and the others, but will open the door and search for treasure everywhere in the palace until they are killed by the traps hidden throughout the superstructure. It is estimated that there are very few adventurers who actually find this stairwell and go down the floor like Arthur and the others.

Despite this, about two floors later, Arthur found a long-dead skeleton in a corner of the stairwell.

"Bedi?" the blonde boy asked, inquiringly.

"No, there was still no smell of blood, and there were no serious injuries from the condition of the bones. The sitting posture is very natural. This man was not killed by a trap. Bediwell leaned over and took a closer look: "This man may have been an adventurer who had come to hunt for treasure in the past, but he found that the upper floor of the warrior's grave was full of traps that he could not pass, so he hurriedly hid in the stairwell. Then I didn't know why I couldn't get out, so I died of thirst and starvation here. ＂

"Will we be like this?" asked the Knight King.

"I'm skeptical. The guy didn't struggle until he couldn't move, and walked peacefully. It can be determined that he is not trapped here in some kind of trap, at least. I guess I was frightened by the trap outside, and I didn't dare to go out of the stairwell anymore, thinking that it was better to wait here for death than to die in the trap outside. The big white wolf snorted, "But he doesn't have much food and water with him. By the time he found himself running out of food and water, his body was probably too weak to continue walking. ＂

"I even gave up struggling...... Arthur snorted disdainfully, "What a weak man." Would you rather die of starvation and thirst here as a wreck, than risk your life and try to escape from the grave of a warrior? ＂

"That's what people are. It has always been so. Bediwell sighed: "I know that no matter how I choose, it is a dead end, of course I will choose a more comfortable way to die." Humanity has always been so weak. King Arthur, who seems to be inhuman, you may never understand. ＂

"I just don't understand. The Knight King snorted. Even he himself could not deny that there was something [human] missing in the depths of his soul.

I'm afraid that when Arthur was created as an "artificial human", Morgoth didn't give him a complete soul in the first place.

But what is the soul? Is there really a distinction between complete and incomplete such an ethereal thing?

The two of them left the meaningless dry bones behind and continued their way down the floor. There were no traps in the stairwell, so they reached the ground floor almost without any hindrance. This is not the bottom of the grave of warriors in the true sense of the word, they do not know. But this is the lowest level that the staircase can take them to.

The atmosphere on the bottom floor is completely different from the others. In front of the dark arched stairwell, there is only one door. Heavy iron gates. What exactly is on the other side of the door can only be understood the moment it is actually pushed open.

Arthur swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and when he was mentally prepared, he moved to push the door.

The moment the door opened, a familiar feeling came over me.

The smell of cold metal, the faint smell of blood, the smell of sulfur and tar.

The dark underground labyrinth in front of him is almost exactly the same as the underground labyrinth of the warrior's grave of Arthur and his world.

"Interesting. The Knight King snorted, "We have never found such a staircase connecting to the upper floors in our world, but the underground labyrinth part is quite familiar. ＂

"Is it really the same warrior's grave...... The Great White Wolf asked suspiciously.

"Keep digging deeper, you can always figure it out. Arthur said, "Maybe we'll find the signs we've seen before." ＂

"There's a strong smell of blood everywhere," Bediwell reminded, "and my nose won't be able to dodge all the traps every time I go any further." It would be nice if Evan was here at this time. ＂

"I know you can do it, Bedi. The blonde boy jokingly said, "Work harder." ＂

"Squeak!" even the bird crouched above the head of the great white wolf cried.

"Damn...... Don't put pressure on me!" Bediwell said angrily.

But that's not good. The more the big white wolf walked forward, the more cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Because the smell of blood is getting less and less.

The strong smell of blood is only present in the part that has just entered the underground labyrinth, and the deeper you go, the less this smell of blood, and even the less human breath there is. Drifting through the labyrinth, the smell of blood from the ancient times is indeed there, but it has become very thin. The new smell of blood "can't keep up", and it can't make up for the thinning of the smell of blood. As a result, the smell of blood becomes less and less noticeable as you go deeper into the labyrinth, and it is almost impossible to use as a warning sign of danger.

"Isn't that good...... Beddwell snorted, "Is it because the adventurers who come to explore the Warrior's Tomb only focus on exploring the golden palace on the upper floor, and no one wants to enter the underground labyrinth to explore? ＂

"The palace above looks more like it is hiding treasure, and it is normal for adventurers to focus on the palace part. Arthur snorted, "Alright, you do your best." When it matters, we can only act on opportunities. ＂

Bediwell muttered, focusing more on his sense of smell, so as not to miss the slightest clue. Because walking in this kind of labyrinth, even the slightest miscalculation could cost Arthur and himself his life.

Also. Nine hundred years ago, the [Tomb of the Warriors] of their time still hid King Arthur's sword, and the throne of Great Britain was not settled until the sword was drawn. For the sake of the throne, for the supreme power and power, every year, tens of thousands of warriors break into the underground labyrinth of the tombs of the warriors of that era, explore the labyrinth, and then die. There were so many dead at that time, and there were signs carved in their blood in every dangerous area of the Warriors' Graves, which Bediwell could easily tell by his own nose.

And now, this tomb of warriors nine hundred years later does not seem to have the legend of the sword of kings, not even legends, it is a huge palace exposed on the sea. There are indeed adventurers who are not afraid of death to come in and hunt for treasures, and there are quite a few, but the goal of these people is treasure, not the sword of the king hidden deep in the deepest part of the underground labyrinth. The guys who came for the treasure did not have the slightest knightly attachment, no ambition and no perseverance, and some were only their greed for a while. This kind of garbage is not even as good as thieves, even if they come for treasures, and they are in a hurry to escape after finding a few treasures in the upper palace, how can they continue to venture deep into the deepest part of the underground labyrinth? Even if so many ambitious people really come into the underground labyrinth to hunt for treasures, how far can people of this era go?

Is this what it is? It's really not as good as the generation.

"Bedi, stop. Arthur suddenly stopped the great white wolf.

"Huh?" Bediwell stopped.

However, Arthur seemed to feel that this was not enough, and grabbed the great white wolf by the tail and dragged him back a full foot.

"Hey, what are you doing------"

The sharp blade suddenly swept sideways less than an inch in front of him, and the huge blade almost cut off Bediwell from left to right!

"Wow!" exclaimed the frightened white wolf, who had clearly not smelled blood here.

"Is your nose suddenly bad, or do you want to be the first to die in this place since no one died in this place before?" said the Knight King sarcastically.

"This ...... I'm sorry. The wolf snorted, "But how did you find out about it, Arthur?"

"I didn't find it, I just remembered it. The knight king crouched on the ground and carefully resisted the place where the blade had just appeared: "In 523 AD, when the twenty-second expedition to the tomb of warriors passed by, one of the unlucky knights lost a leg here. Of course, his leg that was cut off by the blade was quickly connected, and the guy's life was fine, but because he was not dealt with in a timely manner, he limped and limped after walking, and retired from injury a few years later, and now spends the rest of his life with his wife and children in an apartment in the suburbs of Dundee. ＂

"This ...... ＂

"Bedi, seeing this trap, I am convinced that this is indeed the underground labyrinth of the warrior graves of our world nine hundred years ago. Or rather, the structure of this underground labyrinth is indeed the same as the underground labyrinth of the warrior graves of our world. ＂

"How so!"

"Turn left at the intersection ten yards ahead, and there's another trap that will release a deadly electric current, and those who walk on it will be scorched. So that's a dead end. Arthur said in a firm tone as he walked over, stopped in front of the trap he had spoken of, and threw a throwing knife at him. Sure enough, the current trap was triggered, and countless blue and white electric lights shone in the hidden iron mesh on the large section of the road ahead, and the entire corridor crackled.

"Sure ......!?" Bediwell was startled again.

"Looks like we're finally on the path we've explored. King Arthur snorted, "Betty, I don't need your nose anymore." I still remember the safe route to the central area. The graves of the warriors in this area have been explored by our expedition to Great Britain two hundred and sixty-two times. ＂
