Chapter 24: The Underground Gate

Underground in the ecclesiastical palace is still a prison, or rather a place of judgment, as is the case with all the halls.

It's just that what Lu Ming didn't expect was that there was still no one on this level, and the people he sensed were all deeper underground.

"What are they doing when they're hiding so deeply?"

For a moment, Lu was obviously a little puzzled.

"What's wrong? Brave man? ”

Seeing Lu Ming's strange appearance, the saint couldn't help but ask him.

Lu Ming nodded and told her:

"The people in the church aren't here, they're deeper underground."

"What is the building of your church, under the Judgment House, used for?"

The internal structure of all church buildings is basically the same, so Lu Mingcai hopes to get some hints from the Holy Maiden.

However, when the saint heard what Lu Ming said, she was slightly surprised:

"Is it deeper than the Inquisition? Our church palace usually doesn't have other buildings, right? ”

The so-called Inquisition was originally a place used by the Church to separate the sinful people, and they were deep enough to separate it from the palace above.

Looking at the mainland, it is almost impossible to find an underground building deeper than the Inquisition, but Lu Ming told her that someone is deeper in the Inquisition?

She thought about breaking her head, and she didn't know what else was deeper in the church.

"That's what they carved out on their own?"

Lu Ming muttered to himself, and continued to walk with the Holy Maiden towards the deeper part of the judgment.

He didn't worry about any accidents, after all, as long as he walked along the road, he could always find out what the other party was doing.

After a long period of place, where various torture instruments were placed, Lu Ming and the others came to the end of the courtroom, where they found an iron door.

Lu Ming glanced at the Holy Maiden, and Hill shook his head at himself, indicating that she didn't know what was in it, and this door didn't exist in other church buildings.

"Go in and have a look."

Lu Ming said, and after checking that there were no traces of magic on the door, he reached out and opened the iron door.

There was a 'click', and the door was very heavy, and it made a loud sound the moment it was pushed open.

Lu Ming didn't react, and when he found out, the sound of metal rubbing had already reached the depths of the ground.

Fortunately, after a full five minutes, there was no reaction from inside, and Lu Ming had been observing the movements of those people underground with his magic power, and found that they were still far away from his side, and he didn't hear this sound.

So they walked in with peace of mind.

Behind the door, there was a very narrow passage, and there was hardly any light in the passage, so that the saint on one side was very uneasy to stick to it, and at the same time asked him worriedly:

"Brave, Brave, we just come in like this, nothing will happen, right?"

Because the passage was already very narrow, there was no way for the Holy Maiden to post it, and Lu Ming could even feel her warm body and the hot breath exhaled when she spoke.

"Rest assured, I can 'see' where those people are."

Lu Ming comforted her and turned sideways, in fact, the saintess could have followed him, but she didn't expect to have to squeeze with him, probably because the environment here was too dark, and it was underground, even the saint was very uneasy.

The passage seemed to be long, and in the darkness, he didn't know how long he had been walking with the Holy Maiden, and he could only measure the distance between them and those people by the feeling transmitted back by the magic power.

After a long time, Lu Ming and the others saw a glimmer of light, and the narrow passage gradually relaxed, and the holy woman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she didn't leave Lu Ming.

It's easy to forget after getting used to it, and Lu Ming didn't remind her, so he let her stick to herself like this and came to an empty room deep underground.

"What are these people doing?"

He saw several priests in church robes, constantly moving back and forth in the passage, as if probing for something.

"I don't know ......"

The saint also shook her head blankly, and suddenly her body stiffened, as if she finally remembered her current state, and silently left Lu Ming's body, pretending that nothing happened.

Only on the cheeks, there is still some redness.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the side door of the passage, and an old man who looked very kind walked out from there.

"Have you found a way to open the door below?"

"Door?"

Hearing what the other party said, Lu Ming was puzzled for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at the holy woman.

The saint shook her head, indicating that she didn't know what the door was, she didn't even know what the door above did, how could she know that there was such a door below.

Seeing this, Lu Ming touched his chin and became interested, and did not hurry to make a move, but looked at the movements of several people in the passage.

The old man who spoke just now had a very gentle voice, with a different kind of magic, which made several priests who heard his voice stop their busy steps, and showed a look of shame on his face:

"I'm sorry, Lord Carthus, but I haven't ...... yet"

Is this man Carthus......

Lu Ming looked at it from the side, he had guessed before, this kind old man had more than 170 levels, and it was obvious that he had the strength of an archbishop, and when he heard these people call him at this moment, he could already be sure.

Carter, after hearing the answer of his men, sighed softly, with a faint disappointment in his eyes, shook his head, and said:

"Forget it, take your time, I don't plan to find a way to open that door in a day or two."

Then he turned and slowly walked out of the place.

Lu Ming could see the gloom on Carter's face when he turned his back to his men.

Today is the third day that Carthus has discovered this door.

Three days ago, when he was in the underground cell, when he was testing his demonized strength, he accidentally used magic to blow up a deep hole in the cell.

You must know that the power of his bloodline after breaking out can destroy a capital, so the hole he opened with magic power is absolutely bottomless.

From this blow, Carter discovers that something is blocking the extension of the magical destructive power in the bottomless underground.

Then Carterus realized that there was probably some treasure under the ground, and he went deep into the ground, and found the door inside, with strange carvings on it, and several statues he did not recognize.

After a whole night of research, Carthusian finally discovered the origin of this door from the vast database of the church.

The pattern on the door is a carving pattern exclusive to the demons in ancient times, and the statue in front of the door is the demon species in the demons.

In ancient times, these demons existed as servants and even slaves of the demons, and one of their most important jobs was to protect the tombs of the demons.

Obviously, this underground door leads to an unknown, ancient demon tomb.

And there must have been a lot of treasures buried, and even Carter knew that if he got this tomb, he would probably have the strength that even the black-robed man feared.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to hide from the black-robed man, and with a few of his most trusted subordinates, he stayed in this dark underground all day long, studying the way to break through the door.
