That is to say...... If I overreact, those who lurk in the shadows will lose their breath because they fear that I will disappear forever with my secrets. No pop-up window update fast // " The Earl continued Tianyi's words.

Tianyi took a sip of coffee and said, "Of course, since I have reached a deal with you, I will naturally guarantee your safety and solve these people once and for all." ”

"Master, what are you going to do with you?" the Count asked, but in fact he was constructing a scene in his mind: Tianyi was in a cave with torches, the walls around him were painted with evil symbols, and there was a foul-smelling pile of flesh and blood in the room, Tianyi was dancing wildly in a black robe, and then chanting a bunch of incantations, and then, all over Rome, those who threatened his safety were suddenly killed by a curse.

"The plan is simple and comes in three steps. Tianyi stretched out three fingers: "The first step is to hide the treasure, the second step is to release the news that the treasure has been hidden, and the third step is to die forever with the secret of the treasure hiding place." ”

After hearing this, the earl's face turned pale: "Master...... You're not kidding. ”

"Don't worry, it's not for you to really die. Tianyi said: "It's just a matter of burying the name of Kichet de Boge, and after dying once, you will be absolutely safe." ”

"I see. The Count thought for a moment and said, "By swindling death, everyone thinks that the treasure has been buried forever, and I have passed away with the secret of the treasure...... It's a one-and-done one!"

"However, there is another issue involved, which is our deal. Tianyi said: "If you want me to help you solve the problem of the treasure, it's another deal." ”

"But...... That's part of my security problem, isn't it?" asked the Earl.

"I'm telling you this three-step plan that makes the treasure issue part of your security concern. Tian Yi replied: "I can also solve your security problem in other ways, but if I do that." The situation will be different, and the trading conditions regarding the treasure issue will become very harsh. He paused and looked into the earl's eyes: "So, it's up to you to decide whether to take this suggestion of mine and make a second deal with me now, or let me use another way to solve your personal safety problem, and then accept a more difficult condition to solve the treasure problem in the future." ”

The Count seemed to have a choice, but we all knew what he would do: "Well, Master, I trust you. ”

"Do you believe in my abilities, or do you believe that I really want to help you?" said with a smile.

The Earl's Adam's apple squirmed, and when he heard this, his heart went up and down. Tianyi is not related to him, and he doesn't get half a penny, the terms of his first transaction seem inexplicable, just let himself save an injured young man. Why does this eccentric wizard think from my point of view, how do I choose whether the conditions are harsh or not, and what difference does it make to him?

Tianyi looked at the other party's tangled expression, as if he had gained great pleasure, and he continued: "Hehe...... You don't have to answer. Let's hear about the conditions of the second transaction. ”

The Count's nerves were tense, and his heart was in his throat, and he couldn't guess what the guy in front of him would ask.

"Actually, if you think about it yourself, you should know what the conditions are, that is, to give up your position and status as Grand Master of the Knights Templar forever, and not to transfer it to anyone until I inflict a 'death' for you. Tianyi said.

When the earl first heard this, he actually felt a sense of relief, he thought about it, this is not so much a condition, but an inevitability, according to Tianyi's plan, he not only had to give up the position of Grand Master, but also his original title, identity, and even name had to be abandoned.

"I'm afraid I have to accept this condition in order to fulfill my promise to my uncle. The Count replied.

Tianyi said: "Your uncle just doesn't want the treasure to fall into the hands of those people in Philip IV, don't think too highly of him, the so-called 'hide until the end of the world' is just an oath he made when he was worried that he would not be able to enjoy the wealth." ”

"As long as the gold and silver do not fall into the hands of the enemy, whether they are inherited by the future Templars or passed into the hands of others, I can accept it, but ......," said the Earl, "I believe that those 'treasures' should not be passed down in the world, but should be buried, preferably forever." ”

"Hmph...... What you think is your business. Tianyi said nonchalantly: "Anyway, now our deal is reached." Just follow my plan, and after completing these three steps, all your problems will be solved, and you can live the life you want to live without having to continue to face the dangers in front of you. ”

The Count replied, "Master...... You're basically helping me for free, so forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, what can you get out of this? Is the purpose of those treasures being buried forever?"

"Since you can objectively get the results you want, don't get to the bottom of what I'm doing. Tianyi drank all his coffee, stood up, and put the hood behind the black robe on his head: "Come with me, before dusk, I will take you to see the location of the treasure." ”

"What?" asked the Count.

Tianyi didn't answer, but just made a "please" gesture with one hand, signaling the earl to go ahead, the earl hesitated for a few seconds, didn't ask any more, and walked towards the door of the bookstore.

............

After seeing the red double crosshair, Dark Water immediately used his hands to dig the loess around the brand, and dug a small pit in two or three clicks. Then he turned back to the man standing behind him, "Don't stand directly behind me, move a few steps to both sides." ”

After hearing this, everyone lined up on both sides of Darkwater's back, making way for some space, and Darkwater pressed the palm of his right hand against the marker, holding it for about five seconds, and the red double cross mark gradually changed color, emitting a blue-green light.

Then, a few feet of ground behind Dark Water suddenly collapsed in a large chunk, and a second later, the adjacent second chunk collapsed, deeper than the first one, and so on...... When the sand and gravel on the surface of the ground crumbled, a staircase two meters wide leading towards the ground appeared in front of me.

"This passage has been closed for hundreds of years, and we'd better put on our breathing masks and go down. As he spoke, Dark Water opened his backpack and took out the mask he had prepared in advance.

The others did the same, and Lodovico kept watching, and although he himself had no intention of going down, he naturally wanted to use every available opportunity to get more information before the expedition went down.

"How deep is this passage, can we expand it by excavation?" he asked Dark Water impatiently.

Dark Water replied: "The depth will naturally exceed the large pit in the center of the Colosseum, but I can't know how deep it is, and I suggest that you don't try to attack the ruins or the surrounding facilities with external forces, as it is difficult to predict what impact it will have on the interior." ”

Lodovico nodded yes on the surface, and was already thinking about whether to let the "reserve team" follow after fifteen minutes.

After everyone put on their masks and took out their flashlights, Dark Water walked in front and stepped into the dark passage. The gunsmith followed him, followed by Sueside, then the knight of the Iron Commandment, and at the end of the line were the advisor and Vanessa.

In this order, both sides will be more assured, on the side of the Cross, the advisor must follow Venisha at any time, he has to monitor the woman not to use her abilities on his companion, and he has to watch out for any conspiracy she has on the whole, and on the side of the Iron Commandment, the three dangerous elements are separated in this order, with the strongest Sueside guarding the two in front, and Venisha walking at the back of the line, guarding the advisor.

It was in this delicate atmosphere that everyone tacitly took the first step to explore the ruins.

Except for the ladder mechanism triggered by the dark water at the top, this ladder passage does not extend diagonally downward, and if you go down, you will find that this passage is in the shape of a spiral step, the horizontal length of the steps is about two meters, and the surface has a distance of about one step and a half for people to stand, that is, three people can stand side by side on a step.

The passage was like a dragon coiled on a pillar, spiraling downward in a counterclockwise direction and extending to the ground, so that everyone did not move towards the spire in the center of the Colosseum, but walked vertically downward. However, it wasn't too far from the spire dug by the Iron Commandment, and if the ruins were indeed pyramidal structures, they would have gone a certain distance down to meet a slope of the pyramid underground.

The staircase and the walls on either side of the patrimony appear to be nothing more than stone and dirt, including the few steps that have collapsed at the top of the passage, are not made of metal. Many people were muttering to themselves, how could such a passage be built, how could the earth and stone be held in such shapes, and it was completely unreasonable for the crowd to walk down without seeing anything like wood or metal supports to support the structure of the passage.

Vanessa does not think about this kind of problem, since such a channel exists, there must be some scientific or non-scientific force to stabilize this structure. At this moment, she was busy estimating the depth of their downward progress, based on the angle between the pyramid slope and the earth, the depth of the spire, the distance between the entrance of the passage and the excavation pit, etc., if she kept moving directly below, she should be able to explore the outer wall of the ruins in a few hundred meters or so. At the current forward speed, and the slope of this passage......

"Did you see that?" the advisor asked in a whisper, interrupting her thoughts suddenly.

"See what?" Vanessa asked rhetorically.

Because they were wearing masks, their voices were muffled, and they didn't attract the attention of the team in front, and the advisor deliberately kept a little distance from the people in front, tilted his head and said to Venisha behind him, "Look carefully at that wall......"
