Chapter 121: Exploring the Monastery 1

The next day, Karl was woken up by Alexia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Karl rubbed his eyes and sat up: "Morning." ”

Alexia shoved two slices of bread into Karl's hand: "Let's go when we're done." ”

"What's the hurry......" Karl muttered as he took a toast in his mouth.

The inn was deserted all morning, and the townsfolk usually gathered in the evening, so it was dawn and there was only one bard.

"Why don't you leave without saying hello to Eric and the others?" asked Carl, slurring as he bit on his bread and drank his milk.

"Don't talk while eating. Alexia frowned, "You're up too late, I've already greeted them." ”

"Yes, yes. Karl quickly swallowed the bread and replied weakly.

Pushing open the wooden door of the inn, the cold wind mixed with the rain hit Carl's face and slipped through the collar. With a shudder, Carlton sobered up a lot and hurriedly held up his umbrella.

After a few steps in the rain, Cal retreated in embarrassment under Alexia's disdainful gaze and changed under the eaves into a thick poncho, a salamander gel that was extremely waterproof and much lighter than a fur product like a bearskin wolfskin.

Today's rain is much heavier than yesterday's, almost as if a god was carrying an endless sea down from the sky. The wind was howling, and every house had its windows shut, lest it be blown by the wind.

It's hard to walk an inch with an umbrella.

"It's not the right weather to go out. Karl said with a sad face.

"It's just a bit of bad weather. Alexia's clear, mellow voice revealed an indescribable firmness, "It's just a little difficulty, try to overcome it." ”

"Okay, okay. Karl put his hood on, "Where is today's trip?"

Alexia shook her head: "The next five days without supplies will be in the location, and after five days, we will arrive at Rhea, which is a second-tier city, and can rest well." ”

"Our estimated distance today is 160 kilometers. Karl calculated a little.

"Yes, so don't waste any time, hurry up. Alexia urged.

"Wait, I almost forgot something. Carl took out the short plan he had made last night and handed it to Alexia.

Alexia looked at Karl suspiciously, and took it.

"You want to explore beneath the ruins of Ramona's Monastery?" asked Alexia after reading the plan.

"That's right. Karl suddenly said with some excitement, "Think about it, why is that necromancer hiding?"

Alexia put her right hand against her chin and thought for a moment, "Didn't you say there was an altar of the dead?"

"No, no, no. Carl shook his head, "You reversed the cause and effect, for a level 10 necromancer, a simple undead altar is still easy to build, at most the materials are more difficult to make, it should be made by the necromancer himself." ”

"Because the beast tide broke out seven years ago, a lot of dead people died there, so you can find a lot of material to cast undead spells?" Alexia reasoned, "No, no, no, no...... The key should be the labyrinth, and that labyrinth shouldn't have been made by a necromancer!"

"Yes. Karl tightened the strap of the poncho on his body and said to Alexia, "Senior Eric, they only explored part of the underground labyrinth, and after finding the altar of the dead, they left, and now there are no guarding necromancers, only an empty labyrinth, which must contain many secrets, and it is simply an unguarded treasure." ”

“...... Not. Alexia was silent for a moment, then nodded, "It's worth exploring." ”

Two figures, one black and one white, walked into the heavy rain, and their figures were gradually covered.

The ruins of the Monastery of Ramona are not very far, only more than twenty kilometers, and less than a kilometer from the cliff where the fierce battle took place last night.

Around Carl's body, the wind forms a tiny circulation, although weak, but when the wind passes, it will be carried aside by the circulation, so as not to impact Carl.

Alexia's heavy bearskin cloak was blown up, but the girl was rock-steady against the wind, and when she looked closely at her feet, the waterproof lizard boots made deep footprints on the muddy road, only in this way could Alexia be sure that her light weight would not be blown up by the wind.

"At this rate, even if we don't take a detour to the monastery of Ramona, we won't be able to walk a hundred and sixty kilometers in a day!" Karl shouted.

His voice was torn apart by the wind, but Alexia heard it clearly.

"Have you heard—have you trained—pulled?" replied Alexia, in a strange voice, "do you know how we—how to maintain our speed—in a harsh environment?"

"How?" asked Karl aloud as he pushed forward against the wind.

"The one who walks--takes-drag-drag--walk-slow-walk--he walks--he walk--he walk-- Alexia's voice reached Karl's ears intermittently.

Carl slapped his face, and dragged the fast and slow, this girl clearly meant to drag herself with a rope!

After walking for more than two hours, the two finally arrived in front of the ruins of Ramona's monastery.

It used to be a large monastery covering a large area, it is said that it has a history of more than 200 years, it was built in the Civil War, and it was the place of faith and spiritual support of many people at that time, but after the war, the faith became weak, and the number of people who came to worship at the monastery became fewer, because there were few people to take care of it, and the monastery of Ramona gradually fell into ruins, and finally became a ruin in the beast tide seven years ago.

Monasteries are not the same as regular church churches, they are generally built spontaneously by the people or nobles, and although the priests and nuns in the monastery also believe in gods, they are not necessarily the gods of light, even if the main belief is the god of light, it is also somewhat different from the teachings of the church.

However, the relationship between the church and the convent is not bad, and nuns often become official priests in the church, and occasionally the other way around, and nuns and priests are probably the most likely pastoral group outside the church.

Like the church, they spread the light and teachings of God outward.

Of course, because of irregular reasons, many monasteries are also places to hide filth and dirt, and even develop into the Church of Evil Gods, when it develops to that point, the Church of Light will not show mercy, and the Dark Holy See behind the Church of Light is responsible for this matter.

The collapsed walls, the remaining bricks and tiles of the houses, the moss on the brick surface became more and more dazzling under the rain, and the broken cobwebs stuck silently to the broken walls, floating with the wind. From time to time, there were one or two ghoul roars from the depths of the monastery, and without the restraint of the necromancer, these undead creatures without intelligence would no longer hide themselves.

Carl and Alexia stood close together so they could talk to each other.

"Do you know where the secret door to the underground labyrinth is?" Alexia looked at Karl.

Carl was speechless for a moment, he really forgot to ask Eric, so he could only spread his hands: "You should master the skill of trap breaking, right?"

"Yes. Alexia nodded, "In order to find everything that could be hidden, I have mastered some of even the most difficult pathfinding. ”

Wayfinding requires a lot of basic disciplines as a prerequisite, including but not limited to illusion seeing, basic mechanics in the Department of Magic, general topography, geology, and biology, and mechanics and stealth in the Warrior Department. Those who can master pathfinding are all top-level explorers, and Alexia claims to have mastered some of them, which is already a talent.

Karl breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine. ”

"Do you want me to find my way in this weather?" Alexia leaned against the monastery wall to take shelter, "You'll have to get a professional explorer over." ”

Karl was speechless for a moment, then shook his head: "No. ”

"Hmm. Alexia tilted her head, "What do you mean?"

Carl analyzed: "At the beginning, Eric was chased out by the necromancer, and the traces should be obvious, and the necromancer in the pursuit cannot clean up the traces of his own appearance, and it should be more likely to go back and slowly clean up after killing them." ”

"It's just that he can't go back. Alexia nodded, "I see, you can find the secret door by following the trails, right?" ”

"It's better than looking aimlessly. Karl Dao.

Along the perimeter of the monastery, the two slowly searched, and sure enough, they soon found an anomaly in one place.

Carl and Alexia stopped at a non-obvious trail.

"Look here. Karl crossed a line with his right hand, "as if he had been blasted by vindictiveness." ”

"That's right. Alexia crouched down and rubbed her fingers, then stood up and said, "This is supposed to be the one with the sledgehammer when Eric and the others explored it." ”

"Didn't they blow it up when they fled?" asked Karl.

"Nope. Alexia cautiously walked around, "Look at the distribution of these broken bricks, they are blasted open from the outside. ”

Carl looked around at a small number of bricks flying outwards and inwards, and nodded knowingly. This kind of obvious trace cannot be destroyed in a short period of time by heavy rain.

"And then they got here. Alexia jumped like a light white bird on the pile of rubble that could barely be called a road.

Karl hurriedly followed.

"Here...... Over here...... Finally stop at this location. ”

Alexia's location is buried in front of a collapsed building, with an opening to get in and out of it.

"The footprints here are a little deeper than those elsewhere, indicating that they have been standing here for a while. Alexia crouched down and took a closer look, "Although the heavy rain and the chaos of the escape covered the traces, you can still tell if you look closely. ”

Alexia had an extra red brick in her hand, and circled three circles on the ground, and Karl also crouched down and stared wide-eyed for anomalies, and sure enough, three pairs of very vague footprints were found in the circles, the kind that turned inward.

"The secret door is here. Alexia threw away the red brick and clapped her hands.

"Not in there?" Karl curiously pointed to the entrance to the building.

Alexia shook her head: "The location of the entrance is here, the location of the exit, is inside. ”

After saying that, two fingers and swords, the silver-white fighting qi ignited in the fingertips, and the ground was hit by a specific frequency and suddenly shook, and a square brick on the ground slowly lifted and translated, revealing the steps leading to the dark depths below.
