Volume 1 The Order of Chaos Chapter 23 The Hedron Tomb

Avi and Big-Nosed Fan looked at the calm Carrie and couldn't say a word for a moment.

The three of them looked at each other and froze for a minute, no one spoke first, no one made the first move, except that Carrie no longer held the key in front of her, but put it back in her pants pocket.

"It's all arranged by Miss Delia... No, it was ordered?!" Big-nosed Van was more qualified than Avi to ask this question.

The corners of Carrie's mouth lifted slightly, and she took the key from her pocket again and said, "Yes, she told me privately, and I don't know what's inside, but Miss Delia did tell me to bring the key here, and we must go in." No one noticed that Carrie had opened the cuff of one of her sleeves before she took out the key.

"That's... Then why didn't Miss Delia tell us. Fan said this and glanced at Avi, who was also at a loss, "Aren't we trustworthy?" Fan didn't say the next sentence, but said it again in his heart.

Carrie showed a look of pride that didn't look like a fifteen-year-old girl, and her body couldn't help but lean forward a little and said, "That's because... Because that's Miss Delia's orders. With that, Carrie dropped the key on the ground, as if she had accidentally lost something.

Avi subconsciously squatted down to pick up the key, while Fan took the iron gun behind him in his hand and said, "Did Miss Delia have any orders?"

"She said something else, but we won't tell you until we go inside and confirm something. Carrie reached the torch into the crack in the barred door, trying to look deeper.

Avi pushed Fan, who had been staring at Carrie with a grim expression, but the big-nosed Fan immediately shook off the hand that touched him and shouted, "Don't touch me!"

"It's okay, I'm sure the danger inside won't bother us," Avi said reassuring Fan, "Miss Delia believes in us, and we have more important missions to the Republic of Marvier. After all, Avi was on a mission for the first time and had not been deeply involved in the world, but Fan had been following Delia for many years, so the uneasy smell had already been "smelled" by his sensitive big nose.

Carrie probed with her torch for a long time, but she didn't see anything special behind the iron gate, but there was some blue-white light in the depths of the passage behind the iron gate, like the light from the hedron above their heads.

Avi walked over with the key, fumbled for the lock of the iron bar, and said, "There won't be any monsters inside, but I didn't hear any strange sounds." Avi amused Carrie by saying this, and she replied with a smile, "Miss Delia said that her sister had been here sixteen years ago, and this time we asked us to help her retrieve something that her sister had left here." ”

"Is her sister the woman she heard at the inn that she wants to become the High Priestess of the Empire?" Avi remembered the rumor she had heard earlier.

"I guess so, Miss Delia seems to have only one sister. ”

"Since someone has already been here, there shouldn't be any danger, right?" said Avi after a moment's thought.

Big-nosed Fan just held his iron gun tightly, neither spoke nor responded, and quietly watched Avi open the door.

Avi quickly found the location of the lock, and the key opened the barred door as soon as it was inserted.

"Let's go!" Avi mustered up his courage and walked in front with a torch.

The three of them walked forward in the dark passage, the part of the road began to get dry, and the further they went, the more they could see the blue-white hedrons, which seemed to be the "sun" in this cave.

As they walked forward, they found some spiked trap floors, a few small holes that once harbored poisoned arrows, and some rocks that had fallen to the ground—all of which had become decorations. These were apparently set up to prevent outsiders from entering, but all the traps had been triggered and destroyed, and the spikes or dark arrow holes had lost their power, and there were indeed people who had been here before.

"I guess the designer of this place is the male corpse we found in that secret room earlier," Avi said.

"That man designed so many traps for his master, and I guess there's something great in them. Carrie said as she thought.

"Maybe it's a treasure room. Avi hoped in his heart that he might be able to get a share of the treasures and give them to Miranda and his mother Joni, but he thought that since someone had come, something of value must have been taken away.

"No, it's a tomb. Fan said nonchalantly.

Before the conversation between them could begin, the passage had come to an end.

Instantly, two things caught the attention of the three of them—a sarcophagus placed in the center of the space in front of them, and next to the sarcophagus was a large white spar.

But what surprised them the most was that there was a person standing inside the white spar!

Fan and Avi immediately put the weapons in their hands in front of their chests, carefully observing the situation around them. This is indeed a tomb, and the place in front is obviously the burial chamber of the tomb, and it is estimated that the person in the sarcophagus in the middle is the owner here.

The burial chamber is not large, smaller than the secret training point square of their mercenary group, but it is surrounded by blue and white crystals on all sides, and there is no other exit except for the entrance to enter, so the entire sealed burial chamber is extremely bright and dazzling. The only thing that doesn't fit in with all of this is the white crystal that hides people.

Carrie boldly walked over to the white crystal, put her hand on the white crystal, and a penetrating coldness passed through her body, as if she had touched a cold corpse.

Ah Wei and Fan also immediately followed, taking a closer look.

The white crystal was crystal clear, and there was a man sealed inside, who was about a little older than Fan. The man's expression was distorted, giving a sense of his last pain and anger, but it was clear that everything was frozen in stone. His eyes were closed, blood was oozing down, and his hands were stretched straight forward as if he wanted to grasp something, but even then he could tell that he had once been a handsome young man.

The most surprising thing is that he wears a black robe, which is only found by those clergy, but in the details, it is different from the clothes of ordinary clergy, and it does not seem to be a product of this era.

"It can be sealed in a hedron!" Avi's heart was immediately seized by a thought, "Could this be... Magic?"

Carrie and Fan both looked at Avi, and the words that were supposed to make ordinary people laugh didn't have the effect they should.

The so-called "magic" has disappeared for hundreds of years, and it is almost only recorded in books that are very old that these things are like myths. Magic is nothing more than legend, and no one on this continent has seen it with their own eyes - only weapons, cold or alive.

Fan suddenly asked Carrie, "What does Miss Delia want us to take?"

Carrie looked around to make sure everything was clear except for the sarcophagus, and she said, "That thing is probably inside that coffin." ”

The three of them set their eyes on the sarcophagus, while Avi and Fan blew out the torches and approached the sarcophagus with short knives and iron guns.

The sarcophagus lid is engraved with a short sentence: I and you will never be separated.

"Could it be that there are a couple of lovers buried inside?" Carrie touched the line of words carved with a knife with her hand. The moment the sarcophagus was touched, the entire sarcophagus surface turned into a spar, but in an instant, it turned back into an ordinary stone. This magical sudden event caused everyone to take a few steps back, but nothing came out except for that moment.

"Hey, coward, push it away!" Fan said, holding the iron gun tightly to the side, aiming at the sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus is completely covered, and it takes two people to push its lid open.

Fan stood at the top of the sarcophagus with an iron gun and said, "You two come and push, if a zombie jumps out of it, I will kill it!"

Carrie and Avi both nodded and walked over to the side of the sarcophagus. Fan aimed his iron gun at the sarcophagus while the other two pushed the sarcophagus lid hard, and just as the lid was halfway open, Carrie cleverly stepped back, leaving Avi alone pushing while Fan stabbed it with his iron gun!

There was no movement. From the half of the sarcophagus that was pushed open, it could be seen that there was only a rotten skeleton left in the coffin, not to mention a living corpse, not even insects.

The three of them pushed the lid of the coffin to the ground, revealing the bones inside the coffin.

"The skull, the body bones, the limb bones," Carrie counted the contents, "not a single one missing." ”

"But the corpse was missing a large piece of sternum in its chest, as if something had pierced a large hole. All three were aware of the anomaly, but could not see anything from the past through the empty atrium.

"We're not here for an autopsy, just take what we're going to take, hurry up!" Big-nosed Fan put the iron gun back on his back, his hands folded on his chest, and he looked unhappy.

"And that necklace around its neck is what Miss Delia said she wanted to retrieve?" Avi gestured to the inconspicuous necklace around the skeletal neck.

There were no funerary goods in the whole coffin, only the necklace that was not very valuable, and the necklace was made of the most ordinary small iron rings, which were so delicate and meticulous that they could be seen to be of the highest craftsmanship. And the gemstone that was supposed to be set on the pendant of the necklace is missing.

Carrie nodded and said, "I guess, Miss Delia did say it was a necklace." ”

Seeing that Fan didn't mean to take the necklace with his hands, Avi boldly pulled the necklace out with his hand, and the necklace directly tore the neck of the skeleton, turning the corpse below into a severed skeleton.

Now that the thing is in hand, what is the danger that Miss Delia is talking about?

At the moment when the necklace was taken away, some voices came from nowhere, directly into the ears of the three people.

"I won't forget you. ”
