"It's a secret room......"

Gray's face suddenly appeared with surprise, although it was strange why this secret room was not concealed, but what is this shape not a secret room?

And the secret room, this is a good place, generally speaking, this kind of place will hide things of great value that do not want to be easily seen by outsiders, such as the secret room of the Fergus family.

As far as he knew, there was such a secret room in Fergus Castle, which contained the wealth accumulated by the Fergus family for more than a hundred years, and where it was, and even how to open it, only Viscount Fergus, and perhaps Madame Milan, also knew.

The three of them walked to the front of the secret room and looked in through the entrance of the secret room, only to find that the stairs seemed to be very long, and they did not seem to be descending in a straight line, and there was no end in sight.

Viscount Fergus took out a metal cylinder from his backpack that could be held in one hand, the surface of the metal cylinder was engraved with a series of runes, and it was also inlaid with a small purple-black magic crystal.

At the top of the rod is a ball made of yellow crystal, which is deeply embedded in the metal, revealing only a small part.

A trace of Viscount Fergus's blood power stimulated the purple-black magic crystal, and suddenly, from the crystal ball, a bright light leaked out of it and spread out to all sides.

Obviously, this is a rune item, a simplified version of the rune lamp, although the brightness is not as strong as the rune lamp, but it can be carried at any time, but the utility is greatly increased.

"There are usually rune traps and other things in this kind of secret room, follow me, don't touch anything inside."

Viscount Fergus turned his head and said to Gray and Bernal with a serious face.

"Yes."

Gray and Bernal both nodded solemnly.

Rune Traps, a triggered weapon made by rune masters, are placed in special places that are activated when trampled or touched, and then shoot various attacks.

Such as arrows, such as iron needles, and even attacks similar to the ability of blood beasts, can be said to be extremely dangerous.

Going down the stairs, the three of them walked down carefully, and under their feet were the earthy yellow stairs, which were indeed not straight down, and there was a structure similar to a spiraling staircase in the middle.

After several circles and drops to a height of tens of meters, the three of them finally stepped on the flat ground, and they descended to the bottom of the secret room.

With the rune lamp in Viscount Fergus's hand, Gray found himself at the end of a passage.

Ahead is a passage with no end in sight, and the surrounding ground and walls are paved with earthy yellow stone blocks similar to those of staircases.

With the rune lamp in hand, Viscount Fergus walked forward, and Gray and Bernal hurried to follow.

The earthy yellow passage, about three meters wide, is not straight forward, but also curved, and after walking out of dozens of meters, the three of them encountered a bend.

Suddenly, Viscount Fergus, who was walking in front, stopped walking, and Gray and Bernal, who were closely following him, almost couldn't stop because they were following too closely and crashed into Viscount Fergus.

Stopping and looking forward through the light, Gray's face changed slightly.

The ground of the passage in front of us was full of a large number of short arrows, iron needles and other sharp weapons.

The edge of the blade is sharp, and it can still flash with a white metallic luster, and I don't know how to do it for thousands of years without decaying.

In addition, there are a large number of stone chips on the ground, and the surrounding walls also have traces of being hit by sharp objects.

Obviously, there must be a mechanism ahead, but it has been triggered by the first comer of this ruin.

"Although it should have been triggered, don't be careless, there are likely to be traps that haven't been triggered yet."

Viscount Fergus gave another command, and then stepped forward, Gray and Bernal followed, this time, the speed of the march was noticeably slower than before.

With short arrows, iron needles and the like under their feet, the three of them walked forward cautiously.

Syllable!

Suddenly, Viscount Fergus, who was walking in the front, seemed to step on a loose stone slab, and there was a distinct abnormal noise.

Click.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Then, with a click of the walls on either side, several stone slabs shrank back to reveal a hollow from which a whistling sound struck.

I saw some kind of sharp weapon with a bright white metallic luster, quickly shooting out of these holes.

"Not good!"

Gray's face changed drastically, and he didn't have time to think about anything else, the power of blood poured into his legs, and his legs suddenly became thicker, and his roots and tendons skyrocketed, and he suddenly retreated backwards.

Bernal, like him, is no different.

It's just that although the movement speed of the two of them is already very fast, it is obviously not as fast as the speed of the hidden weapon of the machine, and they are about to be shot by the hidden weapon.

Call!

At that moment, a strong wind flashed, and the two of them felt themselves being lifted up, and quickly retreated.

Ding Ding Ding!

A series of clanging sounds sounded behind him, it was the sound of a metal weapon hitting the wall, and at the last moment, Viscount Fergus carried the two to avoid the attack of the hidden weapon.

"Phew—"

After shooting out the passage of the hidden weapon, Gray and Bernal, who were put down by Viscount Fergus, couldn't help but let out a long breath, and fine sweat appeared on their foreheads.

"Just a little bit!"

Gray looked apprehensively at the passage ahead.

If it weren't for Viscount Fergus's timely action, he and Bernal would have been killed.

Although he has an iron rhino inner armor with super defense, it is only an inner armor after all, and it can't protect all parts of his body, and if he is shot in the head by a hidden weapon, he will also die.

Viscount Fergus also looked at the passage in front of him, with a serious expression, and after a moment, he turned back and said solemnly.

"There should be some traps that haven't been triggered, you follow me, get away from me, and follow my footprints!"

"Yes."

Gray and Bernal nodded busily.

They have also now discovered that it is quite dangerous to get too close to Viscount Fergus, after all, Viscount Fergus opens the way in front, which is likely to trigger the mechanism, and the two of them are too close to each other, but they are likely to be affected.

The three of them walked forward one after the other, and then they all raised their vigilance to the highest level, but this time, until they turned a few corners and entered a wide room, the three of them never encountered a mechanism again.

However, along the way, the traces left on the floor and walls of the passage couldn't help but make the three of them stand on end.

There are not only traces of the impact of various sharp weapons, but also black marks like fire, and even some traces that seem to be corroded by some kind of corrosive substance.

The earthy yellow stone walls were easily corroded into hole after hole, dozens of centimeters deep, and Gray even felt that even the iron rhino inner armor on his body might not be able to block this kind of corrosive attack.

Entering the large room, Gray was surprised to find that the room was lit up.

This is a room of about 1,000 square meters, and on the top of the room, there is a huge suspended rune lamp.

At this time, the rune lamp was on, and it is unknown whether it was activated by the person who entered before, or if it was lit from more than a thousand years ago and has been lit until now.

Gray estimated that it should be the latter, even if the magic crystal was extremely rich in magic power, it was impossible to continue illuminating for thousands of years, and the magic power would definitely be depleted, so it was most likely that the person who patronized it before activated the rune lamp.

"It's ......"

His eyes wandered around the room, but the next moment he couldn't help but be surprised.

Hearing his voice, Viscount Fergus and Bernal looked sideways, and their eyes suddenly became surprised.

On one side of the room, there was a metal giant that had been cut in half, at least five meters tall.

On top of the metal giant's broken body in two, there were all kinds of twisted runes, just like Gray's crazy tattoo lover in his previous life, all over his body.

The three of them walked over to the metal giant and took a closer look.

Gray saw the fracture of the metal giant's body, but his pupils couldn't help shrinking, the fracture was extremely flat, and there was no sign of a second knife, that is to say, this metal giant was actually cut in two with one blow.

The metal giant is five meters tall, and the diameter of the torso has reached about one and a half meters, but it is such a metal giant that was actually cut in two at once, so you can imagine how powerful the attack of the person who shot it was.

According to Gray's estimate, Viscount Fergus is far from being able to do this, even if he uses the blood beast ability "Wind Knife", he will definitely not be able to do it, that is to say, the person who makes the attack is at least a berserker above a fierce blood warrior, and may even be a more powerful brute blood warrior.

Viscount Fergus had apparently noticed this as well, as could be seen from the serious expression on his face.

"Father, what the hell is this?"

Bernal was curious about what was in front of him.

Judging by the runes all over the body, this should be a rune item, but it is quite strange that it is so large and in the shape of a human being.

"It's a rune golem."

Viscount Fergus frowned slightly and said.

"Runic items?"

Gray couldn't help but be curious.

"Well, this is a kind of battle puppet made by the battle rune master among the rune masters, it is said that it was common during the imperial period, and now there are very few rune masters who know this rune technique."

Viscount Fergus explained.

"This kind of battle puppet has extremely strong combat ability, and it is tireless, unless the magic crystal magic hidden in the body is exhausted, or it is completely destroyed, otherwise, it will continue to fight forever."

"Never tireless?"

Gray couldn't help but be shocked.

This kind of tireless battle puppet, if it can be mass-produced and used as an army, is absolutely terrifying, and it is actually very common during the imperial period, so it can be inferred that the empire was once powerful.

At the same time, he became more and more curious, what kind of existence was it that destroyed the empire?
