"Listen, even I don't know what the last layer is. Manhe said to Ian.

"I guess it's Gornes. Ian said nonchalantly, "Didn't they mention that the strongest ghost should be on the bottom layer." ”

"But do you know what Gornes is?" Manhe asked rhetorically.

Ian shook his head, it wasn't the first time he'd heard the name. To this day, everything that happened revolved around this strongest ghost, and the Peony royal family united with the heavy hammer family of the dwarven clan to set up a huge game, which was designed many years ago. Because it was the period of the Four Great Princes, that is, the period when the influence of the Peony royal family was the weakest.

And now, although the four princes have passed away, the rise of Ian has deprived the Peony royal family of the opportunity to make a comeback. They can only attack Ian, no, should I say the entire hall. They should have succeeded, but due to an accident, Barton Hammer did not go as they wished, and when entering the ghost town, he used the method of controlling the [Ghost Ghost] and intercepted half of the team, that is, the hunters on the third underground level, including Ian.

The other ten people were taken to the second basement floor by the royal family and began to sacrifice blood, summoning the [Ghost of the Earth] Gornes. This is a fact that Ian can now "see", and in addition to sadness and anger, it also solves most of the doubts that he had before.

But there are still some issues that have not been resolved.

First, what does Gornes really look like, and how powerful is the so-called strongest ghost?

Second, has Gornes been summoned? If not, who does the tentacle seen on the second basement belong to? If so, where is it?

Third, from the current point of view, the entire hunter team can almost be said to be wiped out. Only a handful of people were alive, Ian, Green, Bowen, and the guy who had jumped out of the mine early and disappeared. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the old lord Greg Thor. Where is he now, is he alive or dead?

Fourth, and the point that puzzled Ian the most. For the dwarves, the Hammer family betrayed them, and for the Peony royal family, Barton also stopped their crazy plan at the last moment, which can be said to have saved Ian's life.

If he was on his side, why didn't he tell himself in the first place?

If he is on the side of the Peony royal family, why should he save himself?

What the hell did he think?

Now, Ian feels uncertain about his future. He and Manhe were in the fourth basement with the most ghosts, and there was no dry food or water, but fortunately, it was impossible for anyone who wanted to deal with them to stand up again. It's just that Green and Bowen are still on the second basement floor, and they can follow the previous path to the third basement floor, but they don't know the way to the fourth basement floor.

Ian didn't have a good time going to them. Because Manhe's leg was broken, he couldn't walk much at all, and the two of them were almost overdrawn. The reason why he was able to stand up at the most dangerous moment was because he swallowed two dragon blood pills while he was bowing his head. And now that the backlash of the dragon blood pill is here, it is not easy for Ian to stay awake. It's too difficult to take an old dwarf with a broken leg to shuttle through the floors with the most ghosts.

"The only option. Manhe whispered, "Actually, we are not far from the passage to the fifth basement floor. ”

Ian was stunned.

"In addition to the paths left by the craftsmen I took you through, there are also serious corridors between the floors, which are about 100 stone staircases. ”

"You said the stone ladder was sealed. ”

"Yes, from the first basement to the fourth floor, the stone stairs on each floor are sealed. Manhe nodded, "I think, this is also what my people did in a hurry, the cataclysm must have started at the bottom layer, my people must have wanted to strangle the cataclysm at the bottom, but obviously they failed, so they wanted to strangle the cataclysm at a higher level-"

And then it failed too. Ian concluded, "They were locked down layer by layer, and in the beginning, they didn't intend to lock down the entire royal city?"

Manhe nodded: "That's my guess. This would explain why they sealed off the corridors on every floor, rather than just the top floor. ”

Ian didn't immediately agree with Manhe's point of view, he thought for a moment and said softly, "Actually, there is another possibility. ”

"The other?" Manhe looked puzzled, "what else is possible?"

"Your people were ready to blockade the entire royal city from the start. Ian said, "But [the ghosts] are fast, if they just block the top layer—"

Manhe understood what Ian meant, and his eyes widened, "You're saying that my people started blocking every floor at the same time?"

"Why are almost all the [ghosts] in the [Ghost Town] from the dwarf race, I'm afraid that's the reason. Ian whispered, "The dwarven warriors are resisting the [ghosts], guarding the corridors on each floor, and behind them are the craftsmen, who lock the corridors layer by layer, sealing the warriors inside, or locking themselves inside. ”

After Ian's words were finished, both of them fell silent.

The scene from thousands of years ago reappeared in their minds, and Ian seemed to be able to see the warriors guarding the corridor, resisting one [ghost] after another, making the surviving dwarves run to the upper floors, while the dwarven craftsmen blocked the corridor. The corridors on the fourth basement floor were the first to be blocked, which is why the four basement floors have the most [ghosts]. The third underground floor is second, and then the second underground floor, and the first floor is all organs, and there are no [ghosts], which means that the blockade thousands of years ago was successful.

But how many people will die in this?

I'm afraid that the dry bones wandering in the [ghost town] are more vast than the ghosts buried in the clouds. The dwarves were not destroyed in the war with the elves, but at the hands of their original servants.

"It's possible. Manhe whispered, "But this was a thousand years ago. ”

"yes. Ian shook his head, "What did you say before? The passage to the fifth basement floor is not locked?"

"Not really. Manhe said softly, "Actually, I have seen it, but I don't have the courage to go down." The passage to the fifth basement level is clearly blocked, but apparently, my people have failed, and they have not been able to lock the fifth basement floor. ”
