Chapter Seventy-Five: The Body Is Found

"Alan, I thank you for your kindness on behalf of the mercenary brothers, but I'm afraid this is just wishful thinking on our part, and it can't be implemented at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Hearing Alan's words, Bloom's eyes flashed with surprise at first, but they immediately dimmed again.

"Why?"

Alan is a little strange, this is a big positive thing for the mercenaries, why did it become his own wishful thinking?

"You still don't understand?"

"Understand what?"

Alan became more and more confused.

"There is no entry and no exit, this is the meaning of the Ogu family, in order to prevent the people who escort the tribute from entering and then bringing the tribute out, so they deliberately designed the passage like this. ”

Bloom looked frustrated and said with a wry smile.

Everyone was silent, everyone understood that Bloom's speculation was correct, otherwise it would be impossible for no one to find a way to crack this design for hundreds of years, let alone anyone to know. Alan and they can't be unreminded before they came, and there was no relevant explanation on the map, although Hollanster did warn Alan about whether he had gone or not, but he didn't tell them what kind of thing he was, all kinds of facts show that the Ogu family is hiding this matter, and they don't want to make any changes, because although this design takes the lives of the mercenaries, it also ensures the safety of the tribute, otherwise once the tribute is stolen, the dragon is angry, and the consequences will be very serious, and the Ogu family does not want to bear the wrath of the dragon, so they can only sacrifice the lives of the mercenaries。 In the eyes of the Holy See, Higg, and Yous, the lives of mercenaries are worthless, and the same is true in the eyes of the Ogu family.

How can this fact not make Bloom, who has always been grateful to the Ogu family, not feel sad and sad?

"Your analysis makes sense, maybe hundreds of years ago, the ancestor of the Ogu family designed this mechanism in order to ensure his credibility in front of the dragon, and it did work, and the transaction between the dragon and the Agu family has been maintained until now. However, now that time has passed, and the power of the Agu family has changed from what it used to be, this kind of cooperation with the dragon is no longer their most important thing, if Brother Bloom reports the situation here to Lord Hollanster after we go back, and I can help to ask the lord for intercession, maybe this design can be changed. ”

Alan was silent for a moment, and then thought for a moment before speaking.

"You're right, the Agu family has been passed down to the present, and Lord Hollanster is still unsure of this matter, maybe when we go back and tell the adults about it, the adults will immediately nod their heads. Alan, thank you so much. ”

Allen's words made Bloom's originally dim eyes light up again, and he took Allen's hand excitedly and said.

"Brothers don't have to be polite to each other, but before that, we have to get through the current difficulties, otherwise we have no way back, how can we help the other brothers?"

Elvis replied for Allen on the side, reminding the two of them to focus on the present, rather than thinking about what would happen after they returned.

"Haha! El reminded us well, let's put this matter aside for now, and now we must deal with the difficulties in front of us wholeheartedly. ”

Bloom said with a laugh, sweeping away the somewhat low morale that had been there before.

When a few people were talking, the passage had come to an end. A huge underground cavern appeared in front of him again, but this time there was no pool, and as the height rose, the temperature outside was dropping, and the ice and snow were no longer melting, so the cliffs were very dry, and there were no more traces of water. At one end of the cave, you can see another passage, and everyone is relieved that there are no boulders blocking the road this time.

The group walked up a few more of the same passages, the mountain of Longshen Mountain was too high and too steep, and it was impossible to use a step to lead from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, so the passage was used to go up diagonally from one side to the other, and then a huge cave appeared, and there was another passage on the opposite side of the cave to continue upward. With this Z-shaped upward zigzag design, the slope of the passage is greatly reduced, but the overall distance is longer.

"I can't really walk. ”

When he came to an open cavern, Elvis sat down on the ground, not ready to go any further.

"Brother El, you are too lacking in training, just practice swordsmanship with me in the future. ”

Stanny carried Miranda on his back, and Bloom and Xavi wanted to replace him several times in the middle, but he refused, and he has been like this until now, although he is also sweaty, but his performance is much better than Elvis.

"yes, it's been a long time since I've walked so far. ”

Elvis said breathlessly, for more than half a year, he had spent most of his time practicing meditation in retreat, barely leaving the room a few steps, and now he had come by boat all the way, and he did lack some exercise.

"Since everyone is tired, we will spend the night here today, have a good rest, and continue our journey tomorrow. ”

Although Alan was better than Elvis, he also felt some soreness in his legs, and he didn't want to get up as soon as he sat on the ground.

"Ahh

Just as everyone was sitting down to rest, a sudden exclamation from Fresnel rang out in their ears.

"What's wrong?"

Everyone looked over and saw Fresnel rushing from a corner and hiding directly to Allen's side.

"There are dead people there. ”

Fresnel pointed to the corner and said with a pale face.

"What is there to fear from the dead, go and see. ”

Bloom and Alan looked at each other, then walked over with the Illuminated Magic Circle, followed by the others who still had the strength to stand up.

"It's a mercenary!"

The magic array lit up the dimly lit corner, and then everyone was surprised to find that there were six corpses sitting side by side against the wall in the corner, looking at their decaying corpses, their bodies must have been dead for many years, but his identity could still be seen from the remaining costumes and equipment.

"This should be the brother who went up the mountain to escort the tribute. ”

Bloom said after observing the corpse for a moment.

"Why did they die here?"

Elvis asked, according to Allen's speculation, the destination of the tribute is the top of the mountain, so the mercenary should have died at the top of the mountain, but why did the corpse appear here, could it be that the tribute had died before it was delivered?

"I don't know, are there any other finds nearby?"

Bloom shook his head, and then walked around the wide space with the lighting magic array, and found a few more corpses in another corner, nothing else was found, this time the corpses were more seriously decomposed, and there were only some dry bones left, indicating that these corpses were at least more than a hundred years old, but no trace of tribute was found.
