93. The Truth

The space of the mausoleum is not small, and the passage can basically accommodate nearly six people walking side by side.

This is already a relatively large-scale production.

Judging from the various patterns carved in the passage of the mausoleum, this should be a mausoleum thousands of years ago, definitely older than before the founding of the Kingdom of Lane. But Sean really can't tell which era it is, because he has never heard of the news about this relic mausoleum in the game, so naturally there will be no information circulating.

However, in terms of the scale of production, this underground mausoleum can be regarded as very luxurious. After all, not to mention the width and height of the corridor, it can be seen just the area and number of floors of the mausoleum, and it is really impossible to build an underground mausoleum of this scale without strong financial resources.

"Aren't all the mechanisms damaged?" Sean asked.

"Nope." Yun was stunned for a moment, but still opened his mouth to answer Sean's question, "I don't know the situation on the first layer, but the mechanism on the second layer ...... What we encountered was intact, basically undamaged. ”

Sean nodded and didn't say anything more.

Others, however, didn't know why Sean was asking such a question, so they just kept silent. However, given the relationship between each other, Phil and the big man obviously didn't want to deal with Sean very much, only Anna glanced back at Sean with some curiosity, but because the light was too dim, she couldn't see Sean's face clearly.

As Yun said before, the first floor of the mausoleum was still very safe, and everyone did not encounter any ambush, although there were occasional traces of battle in the corridor. However, it is not obvious, and it is clear that both sides of the battle have exercised restraint. The only slightly messy place. It's the traps that have been broken everywhere, and these things have not been recycled. Instead, it was left scattered in place.

Sean even saw the three-headed Mithril Armor Piercing Arrow, which was extremely precious in the outside world - this armor-piercing arrow was specially processed, and the arrow was extremely hard, which could easily penetrate the heavy armor in the middle of the plate armor, and could also shoot through the protective barrier of mages, which can be called the nemesis of all professions. Although this Mithril Armor Piercing Arrow will be completely damaged after use and cannot be recycled, it can still be recovered with some techniques such as purification.

As far as Sean saw, the densely scaled three-headed Mithril armor-piercing arrows nailed to the wall could at least recover resources of more than 100,000 gold coins.

"What kind of traps are there in this mausoleum?" Sean couldn't help but ask.

"It's no different. That is, those arrow holes, ground spikes, invisible bombs, poison gas, etc. "It's still Yun who answered Sean's question, "I encountered a gas trap in the confessional hall before, and if it wasn't for the luck of finding the way to the lower level, I'm afraid we would have died in that place a long time ago." ”

The most common way to deal with exploring the mausoleum is to fill in the trap with human lives.

For the Miracle Continent, human life is the least valuable, especially the lives of slaves. For a small amount of money, you can buy a lot of "materials". Therefore, if some big families and big forces find secrets such as underground tombs, they usually secretly buy a large number of slaves, and then let these slaves explore a path that can really lead to the bottom.

Thus, a safe map of the underground mausoleum is recorded. It's also often referred to as human flesh maps - players can still be resurrected after death, and with some time and effort, you can definitely find the right path.

This time, after Yun explained those common tricks. Sean looked at the clouds very carefully. He had already suspected that Yun's purpose was a little impure, but he couldn't figure out what Yun's specific purpose was. It wasn't until after listening to Yun's words at this moment that Sean was finally able to determine what Yun's true purpose was in exploring this underground mausoleum.

The procession quickly passed through the doorway on the first floor. Entered the second floor.

On the second level, more visible traces of chaos can be seen.

It's not just the destruction of traps and the like, the traces of the battle have become much clearer, and there are even a lot of bloodstains, stumps, and corpses. However, it is a little strange that the corpses are not decomposing and emitting a strange smell here, as if these corpses seem to have just died - at least, under Sean's simple observation, it is, if it weren't for following Yun and the others, Sean would really want to stop and examine it carefully.

However, more than half of Sean's attention is still focused on the cloud.

From the outside world, to the cave in the ground, to the first floor of the mausoleum, and now to the second floor of the mausoleum, the breath on Yun's body has changed more and more obviously, as if a strange force is constantly converging into her body, which makes the human breath on her body gradually begin to produce some mutations. At least at this moment, Sean has been able to clearly judge that Yun is by no means human, but if he belongs to a specific race, it is still unclear for the time being, because of the lack of image characteristics.

However, this strange change in aura seems to be felt only by Sean alone, and the others do not feel this at all.

As the team continued to move forward, there was still no sign of any enemies on the second floor.

However, the damage around it is obviously much more serious, especially the two burial rooms, the doors have been completely smashed open, and all the funeral goods inside have been emptied. Although it is only the second layer, things such as gold, silver, and jewelry are considered hard currency in any era, even if they are pinned. If you stolen it, there will be many people who like it. So Sean wasn't surprised that all the burial goods in the burial room on the second floor would be emptied, the only thing he was surprised was that it was a terrible smell of blood.

Judging from the descriptions of Yun and Anna and others, the battle that broke out in this mausoleum has been going on for some time.

But even after all this time, the freshness of the corpse remained the same as if it had just died, and even the blood was warm, not to mention the strong smell of blood. The only thing he didn't understand was that if this ruin was so powerful, why didn't there be any clues in the game in the first place? Why couldn't the members of the Void Realm he sent to investigate before find any relevant information? Now they are even in a state of disconnection with him.

All these doubts are like a puzzle that has been disassembled. Even if it has been pieced together, it lacks the most critical and core point. The truth is still hidden in the black fog.

Maybe it's because the second layer has already been explored, and everyone still passed without any danger.

Luo did not appear in this process.

The moment he entered the third layer, a cold palpitation instantly rose in the depths of Sean's heart. Sean's bare skin in the air instantly felt a strong pinprick pain, which was obviously to the extent that it could threaten Sean's life.

"Zorro, what's wrong with you?" The voice of the cloud came from Sean's side again.

But this time, the sound is a little different.

Mingming's tone has not changed from before. But it gives people the feeling that it is full of a strange charm, which makes people have an illusion of dry mouth and fever. But it is precisely because of the rise of this illusion that Sean is more aware of the horror of the cloud at the moment.

"I see." Sean exhaled heavily, and with a step back, he distanced himself from the clouds that were close to him at some point, "Is it an illusion?" …… What level was I in illusion? First or second tier? ”

"I don't know what you're talking about...... Zorro, what's wrong with you? "The face of the cloud does not seem very real in this dim environment, but because of this unreal blur, there is a strange hazy beauty, which adds a bit of temptation." You okay? ”

Sou!

The sword in Sean's hand slashed a silver light through the darkness, as if it was about to tear apart the darkness around him.

Yun, who originally wanted to get close to Sean's side, immediately stopped-if it hadn't stopped in time, the cloud would have been split into two by Sean's sword at this moment.

"Zorro ......"

"With the strength you've shown before. You can't dodge my sword, can you? Sean said in a cold tone, "But now, you can easily dodge my sword...... Hehe. The strength has increased slightly. ”

As Sean's words fell, the sword of the iron sword he held in his hand was suddenly covered with countless cracks. Immediately afterwards, it directly turned into a piece of iron powder and fluttered down from mid-air. And Sean also let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword. The hilt of the sword fell to the ground, making a sound of metal hitting the ground.

The atmosphere in the air suddenly became stagnant.

Sean glanced around, and although the dark environment did not become brighter, this level of darkness could not stop Sean's gaze. He could clearly see that the eyes of Phil, the big man, and Anna had become dull, completely out of focus, and they looked stupid, standing in place in a daze at the moment, without any movement, like puppets abandoned to the side.

"I really underestimated you." Yun chuckled, then stroked his long hair, a gentle and elegant temperament, which was displayed from Yun's body at this moment, not at all like the slightly heroic boss momentum when he was a bounty hunter before, "When did you find out?" ”

"Just now." Sean was still looking around, the darkness around him seemed to be a living thing, and he was constantly trying to encroach on Sean's area to compress Sean's vision range space and perception area, "Originally, I was just a little suspicious, but it wasn't until I entered here that your sudden voice made me understand the most critical place." …… Originally, I thought you were a succubus, but now it seems that you should be a blood clan. ”

"Sure enough, I'm too anxious." Yun stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and chuckled, his demeanor was elegant, like a noble girl, "But I can't help it." I thought it was just one more servant, but it was unexpectedly a strong man, even Luo was wary of you, and I made the wrong move, so I could only make a mistake. …… Alas, if it weren't for the trap of that woman, it wouldn't have been so easy for you to find out. ”

"Elizabeth, sure enough, here." Sean nodded, "Then all the clues can finally be strung together." ”

"Oh?" Yun raised his eyebrows with interest, "What clues?" Can you tell me about it? ”

"Why isn't it convenient?" Sean also showed a smile, and his elegant aristocratic temperament was not under the clouds at all.

"The Ghost-Eye Blade was indeed the first to discover this place. But it wasn't their luck that they found it, but you were tempted to find it. Then they found those jewels on the second floor. I thought I had unearthed a treasure, but I didn't expect it. They're just prey in the cobwebs. …… So, they became the first victims, the blood slaves of your blood. ”

Cloud's smile was still the same.

"After that, they became blood slaves and faithfully carried out your orders and spread the information of this so-called 'underground mausoleum', but in order to prevent things from getting out of your control, they were only limited to some of the more powerful circles. It is also at this time that you disguise your identity through hypnosis and illusion. Successfully infiltrated the black market in Black Point, and disguised as a persecuted victim, increasing the authenticity of the underground mausoleum from the side. ”

"Originally, I heard that humans are the best at conspiracy, and I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect you to understand the cause of the whole incident so easily, it's really amazing." Yun seemed to appreciate Sean very much, and nodded in agreement, "So human, guess what happened next?" ”

"Someone bites. Naturally, there are people who don't bite the hook. Sean smiled, "When you planned these things, you didn't expect the situation in the Ryan Kingdom to change so quickly, so the sudden high bounty order. Disrupted your plans. Later, because of the leader of the White Wolf Squad, many people began to abandon the news of this catacombladder and instead went to find a bounty target. …… Oh. Let me guess the corpses and blood I saw just now. It's supposed to be the Hurricane Squad, right? Well, the team was just stuck here. You wanted to turn them all into blood slaves, so you didn't use the killers, but because of my arrival, you let Luo go and deal with them. ”

Yun applauded happily, and the smile on his face was very sincere: "Human, you are really amazing, you have guessed everything." …… The White Wolf Squad was supposed to be solved by me, but because of that woman...... You're called Elizabeth, right? It was this woman's sudden attack that wiped out all the members of the White Wolf Squad, but her injuries were obviously not light, otherwise I wouldn't be sure to force that woman into here and trap her. ”

"Although the puzzle clues are all connected, and I know about your conspiracy, I still can't figure it out." Sean said thoughtfully, "Why do you want to do this?" Why turn everyone into blood slaves, you're just an earl, right? What good is it to establish your stronghold in this land? ”

"Count?" As if he had heard some funny joke, the cloud suddenly let out a burst of laughter.

But as the laughter gradually sounded, the aura on the cloud became more and more intense, and the darkness in the surrounding space was also disappearing wildly. But if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that these darkness are actually some kind of energy entities that have escaped, and at this moment, all these energies have returned to the body of the cloud, which is equivalent to making the cloud completely recover its own strength.

Similarly, because of the restoration of strength, the appearance of the cloud has also changed.

The original black hair and black eyes of the Chainas people quickly transformed into a blonde and blue-eyed typical Western female face, the softness of the lines is not as good as the outline of the Chainas, but it has an extremely sharp carving beauty, giving people an extremely stunning visual shock. In terms of charm and beauty alone, the blood woman in front of her, who calls herself Yun, can definitely rank among the top five women Sean has seen.

"Under is one of the thirteen clans, the Grand Duke of the Lesomba family, Serena. Lesemba. The charming and gorgeous girl wiped her lower lip, revealing a seductive look comparable to the temptation of a succubus, and said with a chuckle, "Human, I am very interested in you. I'll give you a chance to be loyal to me, accept my first embrace, and become a member of the Great Bloodline, and you will be able to obtain the noble blood of the Thirteen Clans and become a duke! ”

"Oh?" Sean raised his eyebrows, "I actually looked away, I didn't expect you to be a grand duke." ”

The division of the rank of the blood clan is not the same as the noble title of the human race - the title is a symbol of their strength, and the superior title has an absolute suppressive effect on the lower title, especially the blood clan that is really born in the thirteen clans.

In addition to the high elder class, the titles of the blood clan are knight, lord, baron, viscount, earl, marquis, duke, grand duke, prince and other nine ranks from low to high. Knights and lords are considered to be the commoner class in the blood clan, barons and viscounts are lower blood clans, and earls, marquises, and dukes are upper blood clans, corresponding to the seven realms of human beings, such as the lower silver and the upper sanctuary.

The prince, on the other hand, corresponds to the legend.

The Grand Duke is the transition between the Duke (the upper Sanctuary) and the Prince (Legendary), this rank is not fixed, and there are also blood families who are directly promoted from the Grand Duke to the Prince. Generally speaking, the title of Grand Duke refers to those who are extremely powerful and have created a new clan of their own - like Serena. Lesumba, she has already started a clan of her own: the Serena clan attached to the Lesenba clan.

This kind of grand duke blood clan that has already created a new clan, basically as long as it does not fall, becoming a prince is a complete necessity: it is only a matter of time.

Because of the darkness around him, Sean was able to see his surroundings clearly.

Where is this what a catacombic mausoleum.

It's a huge underground cavern.

But at this moment, there were many people lying on the ground, these people seemed to have lost consciousness, but judging from the signs of their life fluctuations, although the breath was very weak, at least these people were not dead. Among them, Sean has seen a lot of bounty hunters or demon hunters who have had a relationship with each other in the black market of Black Corner, and even the group of little rabbits under his command in the Void Realm are also here.

Of course, the most conspicuous among this group of people is the target of Sean's trip: the daughter of thunder, Elizabeth. Batian.

However, he did not see the Marquis of Flores and the princess Fursis.

Elizabeth was obviously a little distracted by the complete disappearance of the dark environment around her, but as a veteran powerhouse who had been through a hundred battles, this distraction was completely recovered in just a moment. Immediately, she saw Sean standing on the side, with an incredulous look on her face: "Xiao...... Kindness? ”

"Sean?" Serena's brow furrowed slightly, as if she was recalling the familiar name.

"Be careful, she's not human!"

"I know." Hearing Elizabeth's eager concern, Sean smiled, "I already know who she is. ”

"No, you don't know!" Elizabeth exclaimed even more urgently, "This is an old passage for the underworld to invade the surface world, and the people of the underworld have not closed it for a long time, and no one in the surface world knows about its existence. …… Those guys in the underground are planning a plot to attack the surface, and this woman is just here to attack the outpost in order to seize a frontline stronghold! ”

Hearing Elizabeth's words, Sean was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed suddenly: at this moment, he finally understood why there were so many inhabitants and creatures of the underworld in the Kingdom of Lane. Why is it that after so many years in the surface world, the people of the underground world are still familiar with the entire surface environment, and they are often always able to cut into the lives of the inhabitants of the surface world.

It turns out that all of this originated from the active abyss path that Elizabeth was trying her best to suppress!

Then, the unilaterally sealed abyssal path in his own gorge fortress is probably the alternate passage for the inhabitants of these underground worlds - otherwise, it is impossible to explain why there are two abyssal paths in such a close area!

In the next moment, Sean had pulled the Black King out.

A strong momentum suddenly erupted from Sean's body, hitting Serena like a hurricane.

And Serena, with her hands pulled left and right in mid-air, a transparent wall of wind completely blocked Sean's fierce momentum that erupted like an actual attack. The sudden collision and explosion of the two momentum directly affected the surrounding area of dozens of meters, and the people who fainted in this area became the victims of the first round of collision between Sean and Serena.

From the momentum of this collision, it is not difficult to see that the strength of Sean and Serena is between them!

It was precisely because of Sean's unreserved blow that Selena's face also changed as if she had woken up: "You are Sean. Connelly? Grand Duke of the Void Principality!? (To be continued.) )
