Chapter 3 Ruins
As Alan drank lightly, around the corner more than 100 meters away, three figures slowly walked out.
At present, one person is not tall, wearing a black robe, and holding a black bone staff in his hand. He didn't have a trace of breath flowing out when he walked, this was a strong man who had perfect control over his own strength, and as soon as Alan saw him, he saw his 'human king' level cultivation!
Behind this person, two black-clothed warriors guarded him tightly, and these two people occasionally showed a little dark aura on their bodies, but there were not many, obviously they were all late-stage martial artists of the eighth order!
When Alan met these three people in such a place, he immediately became vigilant, and his left hand touched the hilt of the Chixiao Sword at his waist...... "Don't be nervous, we have no malicious intentions." The black-robed old man in the lead suddenly spoke. Seeing that there was still a sense of vigilance in Alan's eyes, the man smiled slightly, but he was as thin as a dried corpse, and his two eye circles were deeply sunken, which made him look even more terrifying, "Hello, Feynman." I know your ...... I am Archbishop Hassab of the Dark Council. ”
The system of the Dark Council is similar to that of the Temple Mage, with the highest status being the Dark Speaker, followed by the Four Bishops, and then the Elders.
Eren is also wary of the Dark Council, after all, he has killed many people in the Dark Council. However, he suddenly remembered that his current identity was 'Feynman the Foxman', and he finally relaxed slightly.
"Lord Hasabo, are you here?"
"Patrol. Hassab smiled faintly and replied. Alan looked at him suspiciously, he smiled again, and said, "It's okay to tell you...... We, the Dark Council, bought the minerals of the Quarrycastle from the Orc Alliance, and this is our territory. ”
Alan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized. He had been wondering why there were so many strong people in charge of the Quarry Castle, it turned out that the owner of the Quarry Fort was actually a predator like the Dark Council! It was indeed a simple matter for the Dark Council to find a dozen or so seventh-order powerhouses who were proficient in management. It's no wonder that Hassaab is here.
Hassab smiled again: "But you can't tell anyone about it." ”
"Of course. ”
"The strength of the Holy See of Light is too huge, they are able to preach openly, and countless potential people are absorbed by them. They have the right to tax, they have a lot of money. The most frustrating thing is that they also have pastures and mines...... Power is like a snowball, after the strongest has the advantage, it will be difficult for others to catch up with them. Our Council of Darkness has not been able to come back from the Church of Light since it was defeated thousands of years ago. Hassab smiled helplessly. He stretched out his hand and pointed upward, "As for the world's fourth iron ore, it took us a lot of work to buy it. ”
Alan nodded in understanding.
"This quarry fort is currently the biggest source of weapons for our Dark Council, if something happens here, it will be a big problem, I am the person in charge here, and I will look around every once in a while...... In the past, it was fine, but when I came recently, I found a big problem. ”
"What's the problem?"
"It's the fire elemental that is being sucked away by something. It's been going on for days...... It used to be a lava river, but now the lava river has been drained of the fire element, and the lava has reverted to rock. I don't know if there will be new bloodstones and red flints formed here in the future. Hassabo had a wry smile on his face. Suddenly, he looked at Alan and said, "Young man, what are you doing here?"
"I also noticed something unusual here and came to take a look...... If nothing special, I'll go first. ”
Facing a king-level powerhouse, Alan was very jealous. He wanted to leave, but Hasabo suddenly said, "Wait a minute. Alan looked at Hasabo vigilantly, and with his super dark vision ability, he saw Hasabo take out a black slimy thing from his arms and throw it over. Alan took it casually, and it was a block token-style thing.
Hasabo said: "Your strength is very strong, and your potential is immeasurable, if you want to, be the nominal elder of my Dark Council, the same rank as the elder, and the real power is the same as the deacon." This is the token, and you will get a lot of help when you take this token to the few bases that we have made public. For example, if you buy equipment or medicine, you can get a great discount with this token. ”
The last time Alan appeared at the Quarry Castle as Feynman, the steward of the Quarry Castle reported him to the situation. Later, Allen broke out his strength several times, all of which showed that he had the combat power of the 'Eighth Order'...... Such a young and promising person, even if his identity is not a human, but a fox man, the Dark Council will be interested in him. It is very cost-effective to exchange a token of Elder Keqing for his friendship.
Alan held the token and hesitated...... This Elder Keqing doesn't have to obey orders, doesn't need to listen to announcements, and doesn't even have to reveal his identity, and this Dark Council is still against the Temple of Light...... Alan thought about it for a while, and finally put the token away.
Hassab laughed, "All right, young man. I'm going to look somewhere else, I'm going to have to take a step. If it's all right, you can go back quickly. You can drain all the fire elements here, and a strong person with this ability is not something you can deal with. Even if it's me, I just dare to look at it, and I don't dare to fight against such a strong person. Hassab smiled faintly and left the way he came.
Alan waited until Hassab left, and then suddenly sighed: "I didn't expect the Quarry Castle to be the property of the Dark Council, unimaginable......"
Suddenly, a thought crossed Alan's heart, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong!
"This is the place where the vermilion fruit grows in the first place, but Hasabo hasn't said anything about it just now, and he hasn't even looked at the location where the vermilion fruit grows, which means that Hasabo hasn't been here to see it before!
"He asked me to leave just now, ostensibly for my good, but in fact...... I'm afraid there's something here, and he doesn't want me to see it!"
Eren snapped into the lookout. It's a thousand meters underground, so who would patrol this kind of place? The only purpose of Hassab's phone call just now was to coax him away.
"There must be something weird...... The Great Spiritual Map, show me the terrain around here!" Alan took out forty-nine wooden sticks and threw them, which were inserted into the dirt according to their innate position.
A spirit map emerged from the ground, and on the far right of the spirit map, a dot suddenly appeared, which was where Alan was standing. Immediately afterward, with this point as the center, dozens of tunnel signs staggered appeared.
The map is stereoscopic, so Alan can see the staggered roads.
The map only appeared for a few dozen miles or so, and it was already unimaginably chaotic. Hundreds of roads crisscross and crisscross each other, making it a big labyrinth. This kind of authentic situation is absolutely impossible to be naturally formed.
Alan was a little dazzled, and he only felt inexplicable in his heart: "Who has nothing to dig a hole in such a deep place?"
Suddenly, the spirit map was marked to a certain position, and suddenly it was stuck. A powerful force shot out of the picture and hit Allen. Eren put away the spirit map at the last moment, but he was still beaten by the backlash.
He took two deep breaths before calming down, his eyes were full of surprise...... "You can't actually measure the terrain here?"
Alan, he was very curious...... If you change to the Xianxia world, if you encounter this situation, you will find the Immortal Cave Mansion! In this world, I am afraid that you have also encountered something good!
Alan wielded the spell of shrinking the ground into inches, and took a few steps towards what he thought was the most suspicious path.
The underground paths extend in all directions, and the ground is uneven, all like naturally formed cave passages, and occasionally some of the ground is flat, but also limited in leveling.
Alan came to the most densely populated place more than ten miles away where the roads marked by the 'Great Yan Ling Map' were densely populated, and here, there were seven roads crossing above him and three below. Just now, the Great Yan Spirit Diagram was invalid when it was marked here.
It's empty, and there is only room for three people to go together. Alan looked around and walked to a place about ten meters away from the end...... He suddenly picked up the Muroc Escape Technique, drilled into the wall, and got in.
After only walking about two meters, Eren came out of the stone wall and came to an open place.
It is an open field with a length and width of about 50 meters and a height of about 20 meters. The ground is level, the walls are smooth, and it is clearly man-made.
There are also many pictures carved on the walls. These drawings are very simple, add a few dots next to a circle, which is the sun, and a cross word, which is the fish...... There are also paintings of people carrying things and holding celebrations.
"What era is this? Goblin Age?" said Alan, shuddering.
The Phantom Moon Continent was the era of gods and demons a long time ago, and then to the ancient era, and then the era of humans and goblins, dragons, elves, and the four major races divided their territories, and then the goblins were destroyed, the dragons were expelled, and the elves disappeared, and it became the era of humans and orcs. In the pictures on the walls, the figures are a little underproportionate, and it looks like they are from the goblin era!
Alan suspects he's found a treasure!
He quickly came to his senses again...... If the treasure land was so easy to find, it wouldn't be his turn. There are so many roads here, someone must have found it before, at least, the dark archbishop just now should have found this place...... "Let's take a look first, this time use the method of the immortal to guide the way." Alan pulled out the red sky from his waist. He threw it casually, and the sword fell to the ground in a parabola, the tip of the sword pointing in one direction.
This is the 'immortal guide' that every practitioner will use, and the accuracy of measuring things is not high, but the advantage is that there will be no backlash.
Eren picked up the flying sword and walked towards the point of the tip of the sword.
It's a strange situation here, because the walls and the floor are damp...... You must know that there is earth fire flowing through here, but it is wet here! It means that there is only one explanation, there is a big formation here that isolates the surrounding forces! Even, it is very likely that this formation is blocking Allen's Great Yan Spirit Diagram!
Alan walked more than a dozen miles and found the nest of a fourth-order poisonous spider. After casually collecting more than 100 poisonous spiders from the cave, he continued to walk forward.
Finally, he met someone.
More than a dozen minotaurs, led by a mid-eighth order elder, were walking around a certain passage, but as soon as Alan entered the passage, he saw them.
The Minotaur Elder Alan had seen it on the Roo Prairie, and it seemed to be called Parish.
Parrish suddenly heard a noise, and turned his head to see Alan standing around the corner. Allen's ghost mask is a signboard, and as soon as Parrish saw this ghost mask, he became vigilant and said, "Feynman, what are you doing here?"
Alan was already ready for battle, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately realized that he had injured Cuiata before, and these people didn't know it.
He smiled faintly and said, "It's the same purpose as you." ”
Before Parrish could speak, a minotaur next to him buzzed disdainfully: "You are also here to find the Holy Spirit Fruit? Why didn't I see you bring your men down, the fox clan is really just an empty shelf with a strong outside!"
