Chapter Eighty-Three: The Eighth Coffin

When I got close to the stone gate, I found that there was actually a mystery on it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Although there are no gaps in the door, there are eight empty holes in it. It seems to be a kind of opportunity.

"Have you ever heard of chain locks?" Helvi pondered for a moment, then continued; "To open this lock, eight keys are required at the same time, and all of them are indispensable."

Buck had also heard of this type of lock, which was usually found in the storage of an important item. One person is not insured, and the keys are divided among multiple people to increase the safety factor.

He felt the hole in the stone door, and if this was a chain lock, what was the key? He looked thoughtfully at the eight statues representing the virtues of knighthood. Only the eight burial chambers behind this statue correspond to exactly eight keys. The sensitivity of players in his previous life made him feel that the answer to the game was in these eight tombs.

Entering the first burial chamber, the statue in front of it is a knight with a sword drawn and a shield, ready to fight. Needless to say, it is known that this represents heroism. The burial chamber has no fancy ornaments, and in the center is a huge sarcophagus. Through the gaps in the sarcophagus, the corpses of the warriors in armor can be seen, and the corpses are indistinguishable from the sleeping people except for the pale complexion. At his side was the weapon he had used in his lifetime. Buck and the others had no intention of disturbing the deceased, and found a gemstone medal on the sarcophagus, the size of which matched the small hole in the stone door. It seems that this is one of the keys. Just as he was about to go out, Samir was the first to notice that the body in the sarcophagus had disappeared in an instant after losing the medal, leaving only a pile of bones.

"Will this medal keep the corpse alive?" Buck reasoned suspiciously.

Helway took out a cylindrical lens from her pocket and looked at the medal several times before she was sure, "Indeed, this gem is enchanted with a simple time spell......"

"Let's go, go to the next burial chamber." Buck frowned, the process of obtaining the key was too simple, and he had a bad premonition.

The next order is humble, honest, merciful, just, honorable, and steadfast, and in each of these six burial chambers a medal is stored. And take away the medal, and the corpse will be transformed into a skeleton. After six times in a row, Buck was no stranger.

Except for a fire bat in one of the burial chambers, the poor little monster was shot down by Samir without Buck's shot, and it didn't even make a splash.

"And the last burial chamber! Hurry up and put an end to this boring exploration. Helway's pace quickened, and she wished that every time she entered a tomb, a barnish of skeletons, zombies, and mummies would emerge, and this yawning search game was not what she was expecting.

Buck's brow furrowed even tighter, he always felt like he had overlooked something, but he couldn't grasp the focus and analyze it carefully, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Be careful......" he admonished.

The last chamber is a sacrifice, and the statue in front of the chamber is a knight covered in bruises, with his arms outstretched, as if to block an attack for his companions......

"I have an impression of him. This is a real warrior! Helway pointed to the statue of the warrior and stood in awe.

"It's documented in Edmund's biography," she explains. During the Founding Campaign, the knight broke off alone, delaying the Imperial army for half a natural hour for Edmund's troops...... This turned the battle into a stalemate, and Edmund took a desperate attack on the Gothic Wizards through this half of the natural time and won a big victory. The scales of victory are only beginning to tilt in the direction of the Federation. ”

The battle was praised by the scholars of the Federation, with the focus of course on Edmund and the Wizarding Order, and the knight who dragged the army alone was brushed aside. On the contrary, the enemy Gothic Empire valued the unknown knight very much, and in historiography called him the key to the battle.

Two completely different humanistic attitudes are destined for the future trend of the two countries. Today, the Commonwealth is on the wane, but the Empire is always progressing and never stopping.

When Buck heard this, he also felt a sense of respect in his heart. He knew how much a battle could make if it disrupted the enemy's disposition. And the fact that this knight can complete such a difficult task alone is enough to prove his strength.

This burial chamber is much the same as the previous ones, with the Jewel Medallion, the final key, placed above the sarcophagus. If you get it, you can break this dilemma.

Helway froze in mid-air as she stretched out her hand......

"What's wrong?"

"This sarcophagus...... There are no bodies in this sarcophagus......"

Buck hurriedly stepped forward, and sure enough, the sarcophagus was empty. The bodies were gone, not even the weapons and equipment were missing.

"Could it be that the knight's body was not found later, so it was an empty coffin." Buck came up with a conjecture.

"No!" Helway affirmatively dismissed Barker's conjecture, "I...... No, it was the Gothic Empire that honored the hero, so after this battle, returned the hero's body to the Federation. This is clearly written in the court chronicle. ”

"Take the medal away first, and then talk about what you have to go out......" Samir held the bow in his hand, and he was a little alert, and opened his mouth to remind the two of them.

At this time, an unpleasant rancid smell appeared in the air.

Buck closed his eyes, and a wave of darkness rose around him, silently beginning to spread. Suddenly his eyes opened, and he gave an order to Samir: "At ten o'clock, 30 degrees upward, shoot arrows!" ”

Samir didn't ask why, picked up a flaming arrow from his quiver behind his back, and shot it with a bow. Several actions are like flowing water, all in one go. Buck gave the order, and the arrow was fired, without a slight delay in between. This time, he didn't use the Wind Elemental Arrows that came with the Wind Power.

A fiery arrow slashed through the dimly lit chamber, striking its target, bursting into a small spark. Through the flash of firelight, the three of them saw the monster hidden in that location.

A carrion with a severed arm, covered in pus. As soon as the flaming arrow hit his body, it smelled of burnt flesh.

It jumped directly to the ground in pain, dragging a long sword upside down, grinning at Buck and the others, a few wisps of turbid saliva leaking between their teeth.

"If I'm not mistaken, he's the knight who represents sacrifice......" Helway gasped, what happened to the knight who had been dead for hundreds of years and had degenerated into a dark creature?

"He's unconscious......" Buck judged based on his actions

"All we can do is to let his soul that has been tormented by pain rest completely......" The light of the power of the runes flickered in his hand, the undead did not gain permanent life, but they also had to be burned by the flames of their own souls for eternity, and this pain would make them fade into the walking dead.
