"What is this place?" Standing on a protruding rock, Kate looked at everything in front of her with some amazement and couldn't help but mumble.

Duran was equally shocked by what he saw.

It's an open underground space, and Duran bets that even the passage to the dark lands of the grasslands to the northwest is no more. More than 100 feet above their heads are uneven cliffs, which seem to be special karst caves formed by volcanic activity in ancient times, and there are no traces of artificial development. The walls are dotted with colourful stones, marble, quartz, moonstone, granite, and many other gemstones that are difficult to discern with the naked eye. The glimmer of light provided by these gems illuminated the entire underground space, and on the vast land, a towering complex of buildings towered, and an ancient and quiet aura came to his face—as if a pair of eyes from the primeval were looking coldly at this place, and the thought of this strange feeling made Duran shudder.

"It's not like any ordinary ruin...... I really didn't expect that there would be such a huge dungeon near the Three Towns. Kate could barely put into words her surprise, knowing that it was very difficult to build a city underground, and the same was true in a place like the Finan Continent, where magical civilizations and god cultures were extremely developed. Throughout the history of Faenan, there are only a few famous dungeons, none other than the dark region in the northwest, the Siren Cave in the Thousand Stone Islands, and the White Stone Sanctuary in the inner ring of the Quiet Sea.

And the places where these dungeons were built are all in the gathering place of human or other civilizations, in the center of the Fernan's continent. But the vicinity of the Three Towns is close to the wilderness, and it stands to reason that there should be no people - even if the buildings look a little old, it is difficult to explain the strange reason.

"Perhaps, I can guess a little." Duran adjusted his breathing, then sat down on the rock, took out a piece of jerky and bit it, and said, "Remember the avatar we found on the way here?" ”

Kate nodded slightly, and the girl quickly said in surprise, "You mean- the girl of lies?" ”

Duran swallowed the piece of jerky as hard as a piece of iron with difficulty, then took out a jar of water to moisten his throat before continuing: "If I'm not mistaken, it's likely that these complexes belonged to Agatha, the girl of lies, in the earliest days. In other words, this place is the temple of the Girl of Lies, and the people who built this temple and the surrounding complex must have been the believers of the Girl of Lies. It's just that this should have been a long time ago, and in order to fight for the invisibility cloak, the lying girl has disappeared, and there has been no news until now, which is really hard to believe that she is still alive. ”

"This is an ancient story belonging to the First Age, and under the magic of time, even the great gods cannot escape destruction." Duran regained his strength while showing a thoughtful look: "The Mutins may have discovered this place by accident, because of their unique hidden surname, they have taken this temple for themselves and used it as a base for researching and cultivating the Other virus. And we must have stumbled upon their plot, and to be honest, I don't like meddling at all, especially with the guys on the Othur plane. I had a particularly strange feeling as if someone was staring at us in the dark. ”

Kate was a little reluctant to say, "I'm sorry, Duran, I ......"

Duran interrupted, "It's fine. Since I have said that I will inherit my teacher's will, I will not sit idly by and watch any member of the Black Pack die at the hands of the Othur virus. Actually, even if you don't say it, I'll find a way to come here. ”

Kate blinked, a little confused.

Duran smiled silently, "Hey, Kate, I'm not alone right now. As you can see, I have a group of followers, and I have to be accountable to them, and at the same time maintain a certain majesty and image in front of them. I can't make such an irrational decision without a good reason, now you understand? ”

The demon warlock nodded gratefully, and her expression quickly calmed down: "Duran, actually, Sean and I, the two of us don't actually have anything. ”

Duran was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "You should know, I don't care about this. ”

The girl's body immediately stiffened, she turned her face sideways, and reluctantly replied, "I—Of course I know, thank you, Duran, for being a good man." ”

The atmosphere between the two immediately fell into an eerie silence, Duran closed his eyes slightly, trying to recover more physical strength in the shortest possible time, for Kate, he had at most a trace of intimacy due to the seamless cooperation, of course, he would not care about what had happened to her and Sean. And the girl sat beside him, but her heart was full of thoughts, and in the end, all the sighs, regrets, sadness, and unwillingness finally became a question that could never be asked:

"So Duran, what do you really care?"

No one knows, not even Duran himself.

……

"According to the books of the Pearls Tower, the Girl of Lies is the third daughter of the Lord of the Dawn, and was born with three faces. She could easily switch between the three faces, and her clergy was, as her name suggested, a lie. It is said that she once deceived the Lord of the Dawn by stealing three of his blonde hairs, which she then traded with the Mother of Orsher, who helped her gain the upper hand in the battle for the Cloak of Invisibility. Unfortunately, the three blonde hairs didn't get the Mother of Othur to do much for her, and after obtaining the Cloak of Invisibility, she disappeared from the continent, and legend has it that she used it to steal more valuable treasures. Such as the Mask of the Deceit, the Scepter of Life, and the Celestial Stone, the Lord of Dawn, in his rage, completely disowned her. ”

After resting for half an hour, Duran didn't wait any longer. Although his physical strength has only recovered to 60%, it is important to save people, if he waits until he recovers 100%, it is impossible for Sean to be completely infected. So he and Kate walked down the path on the hill, slowly approaching the temple complex in the distance.

The path down was narrower and steeper than Duran had imagined, but that didn't bother him, as he was a quick man. And the most fatal part of walking in the dark is to lose one's senses in the confusion - if a person walks in an environment where he cannot see his fingers for a long time, he may have some hallucinations. During or before a fight, the slightest illusion is fatal. In order to eliminate this possible surname, Duran had to walk while putting something with Kate.

The knowledge stored in his mind is so rich that he can make most people in this world dumbfounded by the slightest word. Even Kate, who had been with him for a while, was the same, and after listening to Duran's narration, the girl glared and asked, "According to the records of the classics of the Pearl Tower in the school city?" Duran, are you a scholar? ”

"Aha?" Duran was not alert, and replied casually: "What kind of scholar am I?" ”

"Then how did you get into the school?" Kate asked confusedly, "I've heard that only scholars of record are allowed to enter and settle in the school city." Only they have access to the precious documents in the Pearl Tower...... You're not a scholar, so how did you come across this literature? ”

Duran's heart jumped, the secret way was not good, and he accidentally revealed his stuff the fastest.

"Aha? Of course I can see ......" he snorted, and suddenly the conversation changed: "No, I didn't see it, yes, I haven't been exposed to these documents." Well, this knowledge is all hearsay. ”

"Duran!" Kate pursed her lips, obviously very dissatisfied with this kind of statement: "Last time you told me, Mr. Qiu told you all this knowledge. ”

Duran laughed dryly: "Of course, some knowledge was taught to me by the teacher, but there is some knowledge that I have heard, I worked with Andrew for a while, he is a real mage, and occasionally he can reveal a little useful knowledge, right?" ”

Kate looked at him suspiciously, her lips moving, but she didn't continue to ask. She knew that Duran was carrying a lot of secrets, and continuing to ask questions would only embarrass both parties.

The two of them continued to take a dozen steps, and suddenly, the ground under their feet suddenly cracked.

Countless rubbles were raised one after another, and more than a dozen black shadows suddenly rose, and Duran dodged the collapsed ground sideways, and when he looked at it, he saw that the dozen or so black shadows were like more than a dozen tentacles! (To be continued.) )
