After crossing the street in front of him, and turning the corner again, it was the newly built Earl's Court, and Erfei walked in the opposite direction, walked to a prosaic-looking house, and reached out and knocked on the courtyard door. [Full text reading]

Erte's knocking on the door was rhythmic, and An Fei, who was experienced in this area, didn't need to think about it to know that Erte was sending a code.

The one who opened the door was an old man about sixty years old, seeing An Fei behind Erte, his eyes showed a look of surprise, but he quickly calmed down and slowly made a way, An Fei just followed Erte to the courtyard, the courtyard door had been quietly closed, and a wave of magic came from the old man's body, and more than a dozen figures came out of the front and left and right like ghosts, some were holding long swords, and some people pulled out their longbows, and the targets were all pointing to An Fei.

An Fei raised his eyebrows, although he believed in Erte very much, and knew that these people were his own people, but it was not very pleasant to be targeted at close range by seven or eight arrows, especially the other party's expression was already extremely nervous, if he made a slight movement, the arrow might fly out.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is Count Amphi. Erte said softly, and then turned to An Fei: "My lord, don't worry, although I have already sent out the code, they are afraid that I will be hijacked by others, so they are a little nervous, hehe, I have never brought anyone here." ”

"It doesn't matter. Anfei nodded.

The swordsmen and archers glanced at each other, and almost at the same time they lowered their weapons and fell to the ground on one knee towards Anfei.

"Well, it's none of your business here. With a wave of his hand, the swordsmen and archers retreated in an orderly manner, and disappeared into the dark night, but An Fei could see clearly that they did not leave. Still hidden in every corner.

Stepping into the door, An Fei coughed lightly: "Erte, they are also the people you recruited?" The movements of those swordsmen and archers seemed to be well-trained, and they were also very skilled in cooperating with each other, and An Fei did not believe that Erte could train such soldiers in a short period of time.

"No, they turned out to be Lord Auroben's personal guards, and the Lord said that when you return, he will submit his resignation to you in person, and there is no point in keeping these personal guards. So they were handed over to me. ”

"Guards, when the Shining Sand Empire occupied Violet City......"

"At that time, Lord Aroben had already received the news of the invasion of the Shining Sand Empire, but he said that anyone could leave, but he couldn't, Lord Araben had been loyal to the Empire all his life, and he didn't want to be charged with crimes and become a laughing stock when he was about to leave office. Ert said as he pushed open the door of the inner room: "These guards have been with the adults for many years, and the adults don't want them to die in vain, so they gave an order temporarily. Ask them to send a cipher to the city of Blacknia, in fact, the cipher is another order for them to help defend the city in Blacknia, and by the time they know that the situation is not good, the city of Blacknia has already been surrounded by the army of the Sand Empire. ”

"How many of these guards are there?" An Fei sighed softly.

"There are more than forty people left. ”

"What's left? you mean......"

"There were more than eighty of them, some of them stayed in Violet City, and those who stayed behind died to protect the adults, and many of those who left died in Blacknia City. Erte said softly: "My lord, don't look at their rank, they are not high-level, but they have a lot of combat experience. This time in the defense of Blacknia, almost all of them made a meritorious battle. ”

"It's overkill to let them guard this place. ”

"No way, I can't find anyone else I can trust. Erte walked over to the bed, reached out and pushed the double bed in the inner room open, revealing a large black hole. There was also a looming staircase: "My lord, please come with me." After saying that, Erte stepped in first.

The tunnel is very narrow, just enough for a person to walk, but the height is enough, so as to avoid the pain of bending over and shrinking back, Erte reached out and touched the cave wall a few times, and a faint fire appeared: "My lord, I can't use the magic lantern, so I can only let people set up a magic array that is the simplest to illuminate." Be careful. ”

"My eyesight is much better than you think. An Fei smiled, "Erte, does this lead to the labyrinth?"

"That's what I was going to do. Ott shook his head: "But the four walls of the labyrinth are all built with pieces of steel rock, the steel rock has a good integration with the elements, it is a good material for carving magic arrays, and it is very tough, it is difficult to get through." At one point, the movement was a little too loud for the patrol team above to notice, and they dug a few holes while sending someone to call me the police. He buried the vat in the pit and listened for the sounds coming from underground. I couldn't help it, and I couldn't explain it to them, so I had to change direction and dig the tunnel into the basement of the Earl's Court. ”

During the conversation, the two people had walked through the nearly 100-meter-long tunnel, and a wall appeared in front of them, and the tunnel also made a ninety-degree turn in front of the wall. ”

An Fei approached and took a closer look for a moment: "Steel rock is a very rare material, right?"

"It's not rare, it's true. Erte smiled: "My lord, after digging the Heavenly Dao for a few days, I have a new idea. ”

"What thoughts?"

"We can't let tragedy happen again

It's done, so I'm going to dig a tunnel to the outside of the city, and I can escape from the tunnel in case of danger. Erte's expression was a little uncomfortable: "I know that this kind of thinking is too selfish, the civilians in the city have no chance to use the tunnel at all, they won't even know that the tunnel exists, it's just ......"

"Don't be so troublesome, in fact, Violet City will soon have its own magic teleportation array. ”

"Really?" said Ett with a look of surprise and delight, "Will the cabinet approve it?"

"We don't need their approval, the magic crystals we use are our own, and besides, if there is a teacher maneuvering on it, who will stop it?" An Fei said with a smile.

"That's great. Erte paused: "But...... My lord, the tunnel also needs to be repaired, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, besides, we still have more than 600 prisoners of war in our hands, it is useless to keep them, and we are wasting food in vain. ”

"This tunnel was also built for prisoners of war?"

"Yes. Erte said slowly, "My lord." I know what you're thinking, the fate of those prisoners of war is already sealed, none of them will get out alive, and I can guarantee that this secret will not be revealed. ”

"Well, you do things, I'm relieved. This is the second time that Anfei has made this assessment of Erte.

At this moment, Ett stood next to a crystal ball, stretched out his hand and shook it above it, and the crystal ball lit up. Inside there is a panoramic view of a room, but the light is not good, and the room looks eerie.

Erte looked at it, stretched out his hand and pushed open the stone door in front of him: "My lord, this is your basement, it has just been completed now, and the area is smaller, let's deal with it for a while, and then expand it in the future." ”

An Fei followed and walked out. It turned out that this basement was the room that appeared in the crystal ball: "Sky Eye Magic Array?"

"Well, it's just the simplest, roughest. ”

"You come out of here often?"

"Not very often, I'm a big guy now, and I'm going in and out here too often, and it will attract some people's attention. Erte laughed.

"Wouldn't the patrol outside be surprised to see you appear out of nowhere?"

"When I first became a sheriff, I repeatedly warned them not to ask about things that should not be asked, and not to look at things that should not be seen, otherwise they would bring disaster to themselves. Erte said lightly.

"They suspected that someone was doing something underground. Now that you're always popping up again, someone smarter should be able to guess it. ”

"Guess it, guess it. Erte shrugged: "I can guarantee that they won't give away any secrets." ”

"This tunnel is almost a hundred meters long, isn't it? It's only been since I've been around, and it's good that you can build such a tunnel. An Fei complimented.

"This ......" After listening to An Fei's praise, Erte's expression became strange, and he looked at An Fei with a cautious look: "My lord." It's not that I'm not dedicated, I can't use all my manpower to keep it a secret. If the adults can send more people to help, even if I build a tunnel to the outside of the city, it will only take me ten days at most. ”

"Ten days??" An Fei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the most fundamental difference between this world and his world: "You mean using magic?"

"Don't you use magic to dig with human hands?" Erte laughed, "If I had relied on those prisoners of war, I wouldn't have been able to dig such a tunnel if I had been given another six months." ”

"Understood. An Fei was embarrassed for a while, and then changed the subject: "Where does the basement lead?"

"It's your study, please come with me. ”

Then pass through a stone gate. Outside is a starry night scene, the entire main building has not yet been capped, and the so-called study room is also leaking on all sides.

"My lord, how is it? It's majestic, isn't it? There aren't a few ...... in the whole of Violet City," Erth's words were not finished, and the sky suddenly lit up, and the stars disappeared without a trace in an instant, and in the sky, bright spots like small suns gradually formed an image, which was a huge angel. The lightsaber in his hand stretched across the sky, and the wings of light that stretched out to the north and south were beyond the limits of human vision. Faintly below the horizon, Erte froze, and a few patrolmen who were walking by, as did the slaves of the working field, and each one had a look of fear on their faces.

"What's that?" An Fei's expression tightened, he was now extremely sensitive to angels.

"War of the Dead...... It's erupted!" said Ott in a dreamy voice.
