Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Great Priest Who Came by Chance

Considering that there may be serious dislocation in the road ahead, Anduin slows down the speed of the minecart to a certain extent, which is also convenient for the system to record data in the scanning space, and every once in a while, the system will report the results, and when Anduin has to stop the minecart due to some important reason, it finally gets a law that cannot be ignored.

From the first time you encounter the place of spatial dislocation, at every fixed distance, you can find traces of dislocation in the corresponding position, and at this time, the smooth stone body in front of Anduin is another dislocation node, the railway track that should not be cut off here is replaced by the wall, and through the slight gap between the edge of the wall and the stone wall of the tunnel, you can see the railway in front of you moving ten meters away from the original track!

[It can rule out the possibility that the other party has spatial magic, and at the same time, it can also be determined that this spatial prop must follow certain rules.] 】

Anduin nodded slightly, and the regularity of the misaligned nodes appeared, indicating that the other party could not splice the space at will, and at this time, despite the stone body blocking him, he wanted to explore more deeply, and after putting the minecart in the badge, he used the shadow step to go through the gap in the wall to the dislocation area.

Because continuing to use the minecart may startle the snake, Anduin chose to put on a hidden cloak and move forward on foot, while not forgetting to hold a candle flame to guard against an unknown danger lurking in the darkness, so he walked for about half an hour, and Anduin stopped at the sixth node, because he saw that the railroad tracks had completely disappeared here, and the break out of thin air was seamlessly connected to an underground cavern.

The cave smells bad, scattered with corpses and rotting bones, and the system scans show that these strange-shaped underground creatures have died in about two or three months, and in addition to the black poisonous mushrooms growing here, there is also no trace of fluorescent fungi, and there is no sign of residual life.

Anduin carefully explored the cave, and finally found a cross-sectional entrance to the underground on the node on the oblique side, and the entrance was a different appearance, there was a clear river flowing on the ground, and he finally found the existence of fluorescent fungi by the river, Anduin jumped down lightly, and followed the water forward, and it didn't take long to reach the eighth node, and at the same time saw what he wanted to see.

At the end of the water flow is a clear spring, above which there are two half-open wooden doors, at this time there is a figure using a wooden bucket to get water, quite difficult to pull the rope upwards, Anduin quietly hid aside, judging that this is an unknown place of water, otherwise the river will also be polluted by darkness, and the water man has to do his best to pull a half-full bucket, probably just a servant.

"Can you scan the space inside the wooden door?"

[It's a little difficult, there's magic energy blocking there, and I need to use mana crystals.] 】

After receiving the 500 crystals advanced by the kobold earth diviner, Anduin simply chose to agree, and immediately began to wait patiently, and finally heard the system's response when the servant was about to pull up the barrel.

[The magic energy is too strong, I can only scan a limited range, inside the wooden door is a utility room, only this human is present, I have found a suitable hiding place, and the host can act at any time. 】

Guided by the system, Anduin immediately used the Shadow Step to dive into the darkness when the wooden door was closed, climbed the steep rock wall with a snap of his fingers, and landed lightly behind the servant at the same moment that the Shadow Step failed to meet the light.

With the cloak of concealment, the other party was completely unaware of Anduin's presence, and he kept an eye on the servant's every move, slowly retreated to the hiding area guided by the system, blew out the candle, and looked at the underground world with magical lights.

If the Holy Empire was built in a style that was heavily papal, this utility room is the epitome of primitivism, with the exception of magic lamps and buckets, everything else is made of rugged greystone, and combined with the kobolds' exploration logs, Anduin is sure that this is an undiscovered subterranean ruins.

The human servant was a teenage boy, who was sitting listlessly on the ground with his head bowed, wondering what he was thinking, and after a long time, he let out a sigh: "I hope Mr. Marin is safe and sound......"

Anduin's eyes narrowed, and he followed the little boy step by step, into the empty corridor outside the utility room, where there are magic lights at intervals to dispel the darkness and illuminate the tribal totems that are faintly visible on the walls.

Soon after, a solemn stone statue appeared in the corridor, the little boy seemed to be very afraid, and his steps were not light, and he became more and more cautious, which made Anduin also vigilant, and he pulled away from the little boy a little, and then saw the solemn stone statue cut off the long knife and fell in front of the little boy, and then slowly turned his head joint, using the scarlet eyes embellished with blood-colored gems, carefully examining the little boy who did not dare to come out of the atmosphere.

It wasn't until his legs trembled and he was about to collapse that he slowly withdrew his long knife and regained his composure.

"I'm scared to death...... the little boy wiped his sweat with relief, and wondered, "Why is it taking so long to check today?" ”

As he spoke, he didn't notice that Anduin had successfully swept past the sword-wielding stone statue and came behind him again, but he took a deep breath and knocked on the heavy stone door in front of him.

Swish!

The stone door opened, revealing a magical space shrouded in purple light, and Anduin, who had the origin of holy light, frowned, just because he felt an incomparably strong evil aura, and the dark dragon breath of the twilight dragon was completely incomparable.

However, this did not stop Anduin's footsteps, and he followed the little boy into the stone gate and stood still suddenly, using a wall in front of the stone gate to block his view, and the eerie old woman's voice immediately sounded in his ears: "It's another day, Marin, aren't you ready to accept your fate?" ”

"Old woman, my ears are almost calloused when I hear this sentence, you are not annoyed, I am still annoyed!"

It was a rather cynical man's voice, and Anduin, who expected that the little boy who was one step ahead would attract most of the attention, slowly showed his head and saw a short and gloomy old woman, a seventeenth-order Rubik's Cube that released a strange magic light, and a bearded man exposed in the strange magic light, sitting on a large pile of gold and silver treasures, holding Bolval's saber in his hand, and eating a hideous hound from hell.

The rickety old woman with demonic purple light flashing in her eyes sneered: "Don't wait for rescue anymore, Boval is dead, those stupid kobolds haven't seen through my space cube at all, if you still refuse to surrender, there is only a dead end waiting for you!" ”

Hearing this, the boy's shoulders began to tremble, which made Anduin realize that he must have been forced to work for the demonized old woman.

"Haha!" Marin laughed a few times nonchalantly, opened his mouth to bite off a piece of black flesh, and said indistinctly, "I can surrender to you, but the condition is that you release that little ghost first!" ”

The old woman snorted coldly: "Old fox, don't think I don't know what kind of calculation you are playing, I let people go, you can still stay obediently?" ”

"Then there's no need to talk about it, although the meat of these hellhounds is unpalatable, but at least it will keep me going for a while, even if I can't wait for rescue, it can delay your plans. Want to use the Space Cube to open the hell passage and cultivate a demigod Cerberus? ”

With a swing of his long sword, he split several hideous hounds that had squeezed through the gaps in the space into two, and Yun smiled lightly: "Tell your old woman, no way!" ”

The old woman shouted a little frantically, "What's in it for you? You rely on the Hellhound to replenish your physical strength, and sooner or later you will also be demonized, and at that time, you will join our side even if you refuse to surrender! ”

"Don't worry...... Marin's eyes flashed red, "aren't you afraid that I will use Berval's sword to destroy the hell passage you have worked so hard to build?" As long as that imp has three longs and two shorts, or I'm about to enter permanent demonization, I'll let you get what you want! ”

"Humph! Stubborn! ”

The cold snort of the demonized old woman shook the space, making Anduin tremble, and the strange light revealed by the space cube also dissipated suddenly, at this time, Anduin saw that the old woman was holding a thing similar to a pointer in her hand, and the little boy with a sad face immediately sent it to the barrel, and the pointer immediately fell into the water, and then filled with a thick white mist.

"Crying for what? Marin's old fox is holding my death hole, and I won't touch you easily! ”

The demonized old woman glanced at the little boy, took out the pointer of the retreat of the high temperature from the water, waved her hand impatiently and said, "Fetch another bucket of water!" ”

The little boy didn't dare to look up, and exited the stone door with the bucket, and Anduin realized that he might be the key to breaking the game, so he didn't act rashly, and followed him back to the utility room.

"Mr. Marin, I'm really useless, I didn't help you anything, and I became a drag on you, and you were trapped in the Rubik's Cube space by Lynn......"

The little boy sat helplessly on the ground, letting the barrel fall, letting the warm water flow, he buried his head deep in his knees, and muttered very weakly: "Is there anyone who can come to save us?" ”

Andul didn't answer for fear of being exposed, but just touched the boy through his cloak.

The little boy looked up suddenly, blinking his eyes and scanning the surroundings, but his hazy teary eyes could not find Anduin's location, and he fell into self-pity again: "Is it just my delusion? ”

Anduin was a little helpless, although the concealment cloak had a stealth effect, but if you looked closely, you could still see the outline of the figure, the vision of the sword-wielding stone statue was not sensitive, so he let him pass the test in confusion, in order to make the boy sober up, he had to kick hard.

The little boy fell to the ground, and at last he was about to scream in excitement, when he saw a blank piece of paper falling out of thin air, on which was written: "If you still want Marin to be rescued, then cooperate with my work - Sign, some great priest who has arrived by chance, His Excellency Anduin!" ”
