Chapter 57: The Underground Cell Door
Soon, the medic left after giving Tex the medicine.
Jack originally came here thinking that Tex could give himself the same idea as him, but he knew that Tex was not only not relieved, but stood on the same front as Luther, which made Jack angry.
Jack, who was originally sitting, stood up and rolled up his sleeves to get angry, but he took into account that Tex was recuperating from his injuries, so he stood for a while and sat down in a hurry.
He soothed his agitated emotions and tried hard to suppress the expletives that popped up in his heart, and said: "Turks, perhaps, you and I are really the only two people who survived by luck, but I can't just assert that I can control the orcs, right? What if I can't control it? Judging from the current situation, this is also obviously true. Besides, he's almost the same age as my father, so he must have a sense of responsibility, right? He can't just throw all his baggage on me! Oh, at the end of the day, if I can't do it, it's all up to me, he's easy. I don't think he's really woken up, he's still the charlatan who only knows how to cheat money and pretend to be deep!" Despite his deep anger, Turks could still sense the restlessness in his heart from the words Jack used, and he had been in such a situation.
"Jack, I know what you're thinking, and if it were me, I'd be like you," Tex said, propping himself up, "I ask you, do you still have any doubts about the existence of the Book of the Gods?" Jack shook his head.
"Well, since you believe what the Book of the Gods says, it tells us that you and I are the ones who can finally resist Lina, and you don't object, right?"
"Okay, although we haven't seen the true face of the Book of Gifts, but Luther's message has been fulfilled, can we say that the Book of Gifts exists, and Luther is not lying?"
"That's easy, he said you can control the beasts, you said you can't, but he told you, this is what the "Book of Gifts" says, it is the instructions of the gods, can you not believe it?"
Jack pondered for a long time and understood what Tex meant, and finally nodded lightly and said, "I see." Turks, you lie down and get some rest. I'll go out and look for Luther. Tex smiled with satisfaction, then said goodbye to Jack and lay down on his tired body again.
After estimating that Tex was probably asleep, Jack quietly stepped out of the tent and went out to find Luther.
Luthor was still sitting and chatting with Colon outside, and Jack didn't say a word, but stepped forward and said, "Tell me what I should do." Luther, who was concentrating on speaking, was really startled by Jack's sudden words, and he asked, "What...... What?"
"Tell me what I'm supposed to do, I'm ready for the challenge!" said Jack, gritting his teeth. At this moment, there is no resentment or doubt in his eyes. He thought about it, since he came to this continent, he had to work hard for the Garland people to be able to return to their hometown in the future, and if it was necessary to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire now, he would not hesitate to do anything, as long as he could get an answer in the end.
Luthor was obviously stunned, and only looked at him with his eyes open, not knowing what to say, and the change was too fast.
Jack took the initiative to say: "The book says that I should have a sword, and it says that I had a sword when I came, right? If I could, I would like to go back to Chau Island first and retrieve the sword. Also, I don't know swordsmanship, but the prophecy doesn't say that I can swordsmanship, so maybe there is something in this, and I think I'll find the answer slowly in the future. Jack gushed on and on as he said what was going on, Colon and Luthor were silent at first, and then they couldn't help but laugh out loud after a while.
"Jack, I knew you weren't going to give up so soon. To be honest, I was too impulsive just now, and I won't pay you compensation. I agree with what you said about the sword, and you can go back and get it when the big time is coming. How to control the orcs...... I'm still working on this problem with Cologne, you don't have to worry, there will definitely be a way. With that, Luthor happily beckoned the young man in front of him to sit down.
There may be nothing more powerful than unity, and the supreme general of the army, the kingless of the nation, will lead to the destruction of the organization. And at this time, Qi Xin is the best leader of this people who march into the canyon.
After thinking about it, Jack said, "Aohime shouldn't be able to fly that far, right? It took me three months to get to Tana, which is too long." ”
Luthor pondered for a moment and said, "Think about it, too, huh...... Otherwise, let's put down our work in the canyon first, and you can wait a few days, and when Turks is healed, you two will go back together, and I heard that Turks don't have their own mounts? You can be a companion to Turks. ”
The idea was good, and Jack immediately agreed. Right now, he has only one thought in his mind. As long as you can find the hidden beasts in the canyon as soon as possible, and then wait for the disaster that cannot be escaped after more than two months, everything will be revealed.
The three of them discussed, first sent dozens of troops into the canyon, continued to search, and when Turks was healed, he followed Jack back to Garland.
Things are almost all discussed, the rest of the itinerary is almost all arranged, lunch will start immediately, in this period of rest, conditioning energy is the most important thing, so Coren arranged for the cook to specially add food to all the soldiers, one is to encourage, the other is to celebrate the new progress - the cook boiled freshwater fish caught from the moat of the main city of Misu.
Coren had actually prepared what could be called the most expensive dish in Misso, and he had planned to take it out to reward the soldiers after the event, but now he felt that it was time.
A week later, after recovering from his injuries, Turks was standing on the gate of the canyon looking north, when a young man with a soldier on his board flew in a hurry, and the soldier hurriedly jumped down and fell headlong in front of Turks, and urgently reported: "Turks!
"What!?dungeon?" "There can't be any people living in this canyon, how can there be a dungeon?" After listening to the soldier's introduction, Turks hurriedly ran down the city gate and got into Cologne's big tent.
In the tent, Coren was discussing with Luthor and the others about their next move, when he saw Turks running in, and without worrying about breathing, he said, "Father, there is a new discovery in the canyon!"
Coren rose from his chair: "Dungeon!?"
"The soldiers said that they had found a dungeon with a huge iron gate cutting off their path, but the ...... could be heard from the outside."
"What do you hear!?" asked Cologne, anxious.
"Hear the herd......" Tex said with hesitation.
Things seem to have become complicated, it is clear that there is no place for human life, why is there an extra "dungeon"?
So, Turks, Luther, Jack and Coren hurried to the place where the soldiers were.
This is where Jack once been, and from under the waterfall he took a raft to the riverbank, and the shore was now full of torches, illuminating the whole underground, and the dungeon that the soldiers had spoken of passed to the right side of the water feeding spider burrow, and the water turned sharply from the right side to the east, and the raft traveled north for a while to the place where the dungeon was.
It was an obvious underground stone chamber that had been polished by hand, and the river was still moving forward from the right side, and to Jack's left stood the huge iron gate, standing high on the wall of the bank, at least thirty meters high.
The soldiers remained where they were, and the torches were planted in the stone trough that existed next to the iron gate.
The four of them hurriedly got off the raft and stepped forward to carefully inspect the situation of this "dungeon".
The iron doors were double-opened, with a large chain in the middle, and a lock that was also several times larger than Jack had ever seen locked the two iron doors. The iron gate blocked the way ahead like a giant gate, and the pitch black inside could only be seen through the iron fence as thick as an arm.
"Who found this place?" asked Cologne, turning his head.
"Me. A soldier stepped forward.
Coren called the soldier to him and said, "How did you find out? Is there anything unusual?"
The soldier then recounted: "We were going on the raft along the waterway, and as we turned around here, I seemed to hear some strange noise, which I thought was a hallucination, but just as we were about to leave, I heard a sound from this side again. So I let them come ashore, and as soon as they came ashore, this door appeared where the torch lit it, and it was locked like a prison door. Later, we tried to split it, but we couldn't do it, and the lock only 'jingled' and was unscathed. After that, I heard the sound of several fierce beasts roaring from inside. ”
After hearing this, Coren turned his head and approached the iron gate, and the sound of wild beasts shouting could be faintly heard inside the door.
On both sides of this iron gate, it is obvious that the stone walls are made of artificially processed stone bricks, and because of the age, the stone bricks have been tightly glued together, and there are almost no gaps. The walls have recesses on both sides, which are now lined with torches.
Everything in front of him seemed to have subverted Coren's imagination, this canyon had obviously never been visited, and the troops he sent had spent three months sealing the entire canyon perimeter, and it was impossible for anyone to enter from outside the canyon. However, how did this iron fence come about?
At this time, Jack suddenly remembered the discovery he had made a week earlier.
"Cologne, remember those cowhide boots?" said Jack.
Everyone turned their heads, and Jack continued: "I think the appearance of this cell door must have something to do with those leather boots!" However, he really couldn't think of the specific relationship between the leather boots and the prison door, and where there was a breakthrough.
What is the connection between the two?
Turks wasn't there, and neither was Luther, and both were interested in what Jack was talking about in the boots. At this time, the fire in front of the iron gate was shining, and everyone was quietly thinking about the origin of the iron gate and the clue relationship between the leather boots, thinking about it, and thinking about it, they could only temporarily think that behind the iron gate, not to mention the voice of the beasts, it was the beast that was originally hidden in the ground, and the owner of the shoes should be inextricably linked with the world inside the iron gate.
Just then, Jack and the others heard a voice in their ears!
"You're here to find the sea beasts. ”
The voice was old and powerful, as if it came from the distant sky, and it was faintly in the ears.
While everyone was panicked and looking for the source of the voice, another sentence came from inside the iron door: "No need to look for it, I'm inside this prison door." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone turned their eyes to the iron gate.
In the darkness, an old man with gray hair was slowly walking with slow steps. The soldiers immediately vigilantly surrounded Coren and Turks, drew their swords, and pointed in the direction of the iron gate.
The old man walked behind the iron gate, and when he saw such a formation, he laughed and said, "What are you nervous about? Aren't you looking for me? Where are my shoes?"
Everyone didn't know whether the old man in front of him was a human or a ghost, after all, it was impossible for anyone to survive under such an underground!
But the old man in front of him, dressed in concise short-sleeved animal skin clothes, thick white long beard, neat white long hair, and no rickety, no matter how he looks like the old man next door, he can't see the slightest murderous aura. But after all, this is a treacherous canyon, and a murderous sea beast can pop up everywhere at any time, and how did he end up in this place?
"Old man, why are you alone underground?" asked Coren tentatively through the iron door.
The old man's face was red, and his body seemed to be very healthy, no different from ordinary people. He glanced up and down Coren a few times and said, "Presumably, you must be Cologne, the monarch of the Missu Kingdom." ”
The crowd was amazed! How did he know!?
"Old man, how do you know me!?Who are you?" Coren couldn't help but feel a hint of nervousness.
The old man smiled and said, "Although I have been living in this canyon, I know a lot of things that are happening outside here, and I also know what you are here for. Herds, huh?"
Coren was dumbfounded, the person in front of him not only had a strange identity, but even knew Cologne's identity and the purpose of this trip, could it be that he was following him?
"How do you know?" Turks crossed the soldiers' lines, and did not listen to the soldiers' resistance, and walked to the iron gate and said, "My name is Turks, and I am the prince of Misso. ”
"Haha, sure enough, there is the style of a general, it is really a treasure of the Missus country! You should be twenty-five years old this year, right?" the old man looked at Tex and said.
Tex looked dazed, the old man obviously knew everything out there, even quite familiar.
He then asked, "Can you tell me who you are?"
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "My name is Warin, and I am the messenger of the undead of the earth. ”
