Chapter 50: The Narrow Domain

In the dimly lit room, many of the mine employees who had been hit by falling rocks and had been injured were not lightly injured, and the joy soon overwhelmed the pain in their bodies when they learned that they could escape their misery. Some young people whose flames of life were about to burn out, infected by the cheers around them, barely squeezed out a few smiles on their skinny faces.

A hired man lying on the cold stone floor, his eyes bloodshot, despite the high fever of his weakened body due to the infection of the wound, and the frightening temperature of his forehead, still forced himself to sit up, and the glittering look quickly ignited the few remaining lives, like the last splendor of the setting sun, and then quietly disappeared into the distant horizon.

Aldrich crept over, grabbed his back, and gently placed his severed head on the ground. The abnormal flush on his face was still there, but it was quickly replaced by a blue-gray color, and a dead air immediately appeared, crawling all over the hired man's forehead, and Triss reached out to brush his eyelids, he did not want to see his hopeful eyes fade away.

"May you rest in peace and have peace in your eternal sleep. Your companions are about to embark on a journey into the unknown, and may they arrive at their destination safe and sound. ”

The foreman of the hired man, who was staring at Aldrich's every move from head to toe, felt the kindness and virtue of this knight covered in mine dust and sweat, although there were still some doubts, but so many people present did not let down their guards, and they were not afraid of what tricks he could play alone.

However, even the Knight of Tris, who has the true vision to see through all illusions, is unaware of the strange things that are happening around him.

When the hired worker exhaled his last breath, wisps of gray mist in the shape of cotton wool continued to spread out from his body, forming a blurred figure.

Just as it sank into the ground following certain laws, an indescribable attraction pulled the gray mist into Aldrich's red socks tied to his belt, and directly into the unstable narrow area where a pile of miscellaneous items was stored.

Above the pile of miscellaneous items, a rusty tin book, with a bronze relief on the cover, and two turquoise eyes glowing with a faint light, are the source of the attraction. The trickle absorbed the gray mist, and the tin book made a tooth-aching claw and tooth scraping sound, like the satisfaction and pleasure that a beast that had been hungry for many years had eaten a full meal, and spit out of its throat.

However, its good days are soon coming to an end, containing a very high concentration of negative energy, and doing such an evil act, the unstable narrow area touches a certain law, criss-crossing two thin chains of light gold directly penetrate the iron book, and then bind it from different angles, firmly tied.

The thin chain of pale gold texture is essentially made up of countless runes that shine with golden brilliance linked to each other, involving some laws of time and space, and has the ability to surpass the pale runes of the alchemy of the undead, so the imprisoning subway book cannot move.

The concentration of the negative energy was constantly decreasing, and the vicious beast roared extremely badly, but the difference in personality level between them was not small, and it could not help this unstable narrow domain at all.

What frustrated the beast even more was that the negative energy that had been accumulated with great difficulty had been drained by the chain of law and order to maintain this narrow gap in time and space. If there is a violent conflict, it will only lead to the death of both parties, and for the sake of each other's survival, it can only suffer in silence, hoping that the duration of the torture will be as short as possible.

Fortunately, the call of the tin book seemed to be heard by the creator of the narrow domain, and the extraction of negative energy came to an abrupt halt, and the beast luckily got a chance to breathe.

Its silent efforts were not without rewards, and the narrow gap seemed to reach some kind of fragile balance due to the entry of negative energy, and it began to rise and widen, and then split into two layers.

A clear distinction between light and darkness emerges in the dim narrows, with the light that grows on top condensed into a translucent golden pearl, and the darkness of night below, unable to project concrete events due to insufficient negative energy.

Unbeknownst to what was happening behind the heavy curtain of the heavy curtain, Aldrich Tris, who was lying on the ground, a wretched and unfortunate 'guide' with a frightened and somewhat fluke, hand on his chin back to its place, and with a peculiar manoeuvre he regained control of his body.

This miraculous method made the eyes of many mine employees who had never seen the world shine, and the wounded with broken tendons and fractures rushed to the 'kind knight' for treatment, and the surging enthusiasm could not be stopped even by the young man Prince, who was hidden as the leader.

The hired man's foreman, Deco, knew what he was thinking, and immediately pulled Princeteen to the corner of the room where no one was around, and whispered to him: "Without herbs, bandages, and soft plates to wrap wounds, even if he knows how to heal, he can't do everything." Besides, he is just an outsider, can he bring his brother who lives and dies together? On the contrary, if he can heal some of the wounded, our burden will be much lighter on the rest of the journey, isn't it?"

"Decaux, do you know the details of that man, why do you trust this knight who is likely to be of the Earl's family so much, and do you still have unrealistic illusions about the Earl of Eastwood, hoping that he will come forward to administer justice?" Princeteen patted the hand of the foreman on his shoulder.

"Yes, I don't know the details of the knight who called himself Aldrich Tris, but from his clothes and deeds, I know the identity and origin of this man. Princeine, don't let anger and hatred obscure your eyes, and you will suffer from presbyopia that only the elderly have. Deco withdrew his hand, his eyes fixed on the young man in front of him until he avoided his gaze.

Princeine tilted his head and looked at the flat stone slab on the ground, which was stained with the blood of the cave hire, speckled like tiny sparks, ignited into a prairie flame by anger: "What can you see? Mr. Deco, with sharp eyes, I do not deny that you are the oldest hired employee of the Snake Mine, and you can dig with your bare hands in half a day to withstand the hard work of others all day, and it is entirely your ability and helpful heart to become a foreman, but in other respects, I have no way of knowing." ”

"You're proud, you always have been, maybe you've been educated, you can read and write, you have something that ordinary people can't understand. Princeine, you always look down on other people's eyes with a high look, acting as a wise guide, pointing us in the right direction. However, because you always put yourself in a high position, you often turn a blind eye to what is happening around you, and ignoring the details is your biggest fault. Seeing the young man's face change suddenly, the foreman immediately sighed with ease.

"Deco, can you give me an example?" Prince's tone became much more sincere, perhaps he was also aware of his personality problem, so he was aggrieved and "shamelessly asked".

It's a shame that it's hard to change. ’

The foreman nodded, "The knight who calls himself Aldrich Triss is covered in fine mineral dust, smells of sweat, and has come from an underground cavern through a chasm stairway in the rock wall. Needless to say, it must have been from Eastwood City, perhaps a member of the city guard, perhaps a knight of the lord's family, or even a scavenger sent by the alchemist Bunolu. Whatever his status, he came alone, and instead of killing the companion we sent to check on the movements of the Yongdao as soon as we met, he only knocked the two unconscious and captured Eric alive. He wasn't tortured much, except that Eric couldn't speak, and his limbs were bound, which was much better than the whip and club of the overseer, and the lynching of Etna the steward. This shows that he did not come with malicious intent, and is likely to be part of the unwitting city guards. ”

Princeteen frowned and thought about it carefully, and found that he could not find a reason to refute it for a while, so he nodded, and patiently listened to the foreman Deco continue to "talk about it".

"How much is the gargoyle in the rock palace, you and I are very clear, just now I joined hands with you to push open the revolving stone door, and when I walked inside, I also saw a pile of rubble on the ground, which can prove that the knight's strength is very good, if he is really fierce and wants to kill us all, I believe that the victor who is still standing in the end is definitely not any of us, even you. ”

Seeing Princeine's expression, Foreman Bandko immediately continued, "I know that in this dimly lit room, so many of us are rushing up at once, and it will definitely cause him a lot of harm, but you also have to take reality into account. Most of them were injured in varying degrees from the collapse of the mines, at least a few of them, about forty brothers were incapacitated, and as a knight who was proficient in all kinds of martial arts and tactics, would he obediently stand and exchange punches and kicks with us? But Aldrich Triss didn't do that, he was able to listen patiently to what I told from beginning to end, and even though it was part of our speculation, he chose to believe it and was willing to help us. If I am not mistaken, the man who calls himself Aldrich Triss may be a rare knight who adheres to traditional virtues. He can be trusted, for now. ”

Hearing the previous words, Princeteen still had a sad face, but the last sentence did speak his heart, "That's right, the violent shaking not long ago, it was obvious that the mine tunnel collapsed again for some reason after it was dug through, and it was possible to trap him in the underground cave, and he happened to find the ladder through the crack in the rock wall, and then found one of the entrances to the tunnel." Well, it must be the case, he is also trapped, worried that there is no way out, there will be no escape, so he chooses to cooperate with us. ”

He patted the foreman on the shoulder, "Mr. Deco, I know that you are not a fool of all understanding, and when I open the secret passage of the Rock Palace, please keep an eye on the every move of Knight Aldrich Tris to prevent him from suddenly breaking out." ”

"I will, I will. Prince, you have to trust my eyes, I never missed a single person. Otherwise, we would have been killed in the underground caverns by the overseers. ”

"Shhhh ”

Deco's face did not change in the slightest, and quietly picked up a hired man with an injured leg and foot, and walked over to let Aldridge treat him, Princeteen was far away, and was stared at by the knight of Tris, looking a little cramped and uneasy, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

At this time, he recalled the knight's record of killing two gargoyles with his bare hands when he was standing not far away, and the pressure he gave was really heavy.
