Chapter 399: Underground Temple
readx;
Several union leaders nodded their heads one after another. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I'm slightly bored, these things or the thieves' guild would be interested in knowing, but we're not interested at all. However, I thought that it might be possible to hear some useful information from it, so I continued to listen.
Next, they discussed some trivial matters about the mercenary union, and it seemed that this middle-aged escort should now be the temporary head of the Manro mercenary union. Just when Feng'er and I were very bored listening and decided to grab someone to ask for directions, the middle-aged guard finally said, "Okay, that's all for today! Everyone go back, I should also go and report to the president." Tomorrow should be done as soon as possible, the situation is complicated these days, everyone should spend more thought, do not relax. ”
Seeing that everyone retreated reluctantly, and then the middle-aged guard also walked out of the other door of this courtyard. I smiled and whispered to Feng'er: "This is called crooked fighting, I was worried that I couldn't find anyone just now, and now the one who led the way ran out." ”
"Hee-hee, that's their bad luck. Feng'er said playfully, and the hot breath blew in my ears, making me shiver.
I chuckled and shook my head, she never missed an opportunity to tease me.
Imposing a space-based stealth enchantment on ourselves and Feng'er, we silently followed behind the middle-aged guard.
The middle-aged guard walked very carefully along the way, although this was the territory of the mercenary union, he still maintained enough vigilance, and his feet were slow or urgent, and he walked around the huge complex for a while before he came to a tall tower-shaped building.
"Watch carefully, and if there's any movement, sound the alarm immediately. With a warning to the four swordsmen guarding the tower, the middle-aged guard entered the tower.
I was slightly amazed, I had just been here and ran in to see it, but I didn't find anything abnormal, and I thought it was just a lookout-like tower, but it was actually the destination. Needless to say, this should be an entrance. The whole union has a huge underground structure, which I found out about a long time ago, and I didn't expect the entrance to be here.
The four Great Sword Master-level guards are not weak, but unfortunately, for me and Feng'er, they are nothing. Even Feng'er walked in front of them slowly and strangely, and they didn't notice it.
At the bottom of the tower, after the middle-aged guards groped on the walls for a while, there was a slight vibration on the ground, and a long staircase appeared in front of him, extending straight down.
"I can't live on the ground, but what is Qi going to hide underground?" I wondered slightly, watching the middle-aged escort enter the stairs, and the floor on the side began to slowly move closer to the middle. Knowing that there was no chance to be lost now, I pulled Feng'er and followed him down the stairs.
With the magic lights constantly appearing on the top wall, the underground staircase does not look dark at all, and the slightest sound of wind also indicates that the ventilation here is very good. After descending the stairs for a few dozen meters, it suddenly became clear to us that a huge complex of buildings standing in front of us, no less than the ground.
"It's a lot of work underground. It seems that the mercenary union is not as simple as a few years or decades for the construction here. I immediately followed the middle-aged guard in front of me, but I couldn't help but admire.
"What's the use!" Feng Er said with disdain: "Although the earth-based magic aura here is a little stronger, the other magic elements are just the same, even if they are given to me for free, I don't want them." ”
I laughed dumbly, as a fire supreme, her favorite environment is probably volcanic lava, right? The environment here is very peculiar, and the intensity of earth-based magical energy is not even much inferior to that of the blue forest, and even other magical elements are much thicker than ordinary cities. If you can concentrate on cultivation in such an environment, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, but it is not a broken place that Feng'er said that you don't want to give away for nothing.
The middle-aged guard walked directly towards one of the temple-like buildings. The protection here is much tighter than outside, and the overlapping magic prohibitions make Feng'er have to be very careful. I followed behind, taking a closer look around me, and with the exception of a dozen or so more conspicuous buildings, the others were very similar, all of them were courtyard-like manors. Although it was already late at night, I could still see people busy cultivating in the courtyard. Needless to say, these should be the forces that the mercenary guild has secretly cultivated.
It was the temple and was the most conspicuous of the underground complexes. Almost to the top of the height, the ornate gilt decoration of the wall, the majestic gate as high as four or five zhang, in the show of its status. Not to mention, the conspicuous tall mansion was built around it.
Inside the temple, **Qi was kneeling down in front of a tall statue with a reverent face, praying in a low voice. Behind him were more than a dozen mercenaries who seemed to be equally religious. After the middle-aged guard entered, he didn't speak, just stood silently to the side, waiting quietly.
I was slightly curious, and asked silently, "Who is this statue?" The statue stood in the wind with a long sword in his hand, and with a tiger leaning affectionately at his feet, it seemed to be quite imposing. However, it was the people on the ground who caught my attention, and they were all saint-level masters.
"Master, you won't forget the mercenary temple you went to a few days ago, right? The idol there is the same person as here, but in a different posture. Feng'er said funny.
I was slightly embarrassed, I was just accompanying Alice to see a lively scene, but I didn't believe in any mercenary gods, so naturally I didn't pay much attention to the statues. However, the statues of the gods there are definitely not as vivid and majestic as here. After seeing what was going on inside, I pulled away a bit. These are all masters who can be famous in the mainland, and I have to be cautious.
After nearly a festival of silence, the prayer ceremony finally ended, and the mercenary masters dispersed. Only then did I notice that the mercenaries kneeling on the ground were all wearing the Amethyst Mercenary Medal representing the elders of the union. Their status, like the enshrinement of the Thieves' Guild, is transcendent and honorable.
Seeing the middle-aged guard standing quietly aside, **Qi asked calmly while leaving the temple, "What's the matter?"
"Report to the President, it's some information about the Thieves' Guild. The middle-aged guard said respectfully. "This afternoon, Frank's son, Forcilin, has taken the position of president of the Acting Thieves' Guild. You are not wrong at all, not only did they not panic in the slightest, but began to plant their own men in a big way, and it seemed that they were ready to take this opportunity to take control of the city gates, as if they were premeditated at all. ”
"What kind of thing is Forcilin, just a gentleman, so that old fox of Frank is really not dead!" **Qi chuckled: "Have you found out who the killer is?"
I was slightly surprised, could it be that the Phantom was lying, she said that it was the mercenary union that asked them to help, but **Qi obviously didn't know anything about it. It wouldn't be surprising if the president of the thieves' guild hadn't died. After all, the person who was killed by the killer was simply an ordinary person who didn't know martial arts, and it was impossible for him to have a thief leader who was close to the cultivation of the thief god.
"There's no news on this yet. The middle-aged guard said cautiously: "Those killers left Manro that night, and they are good at hiding their traces, so it is really difficult to find their traces." However, judging by their skills and attitudes, it seems to be a bit like the style of phantoms. ”
"Oh?" **Qi groaned slightly: "If you can't find it, forget it." Perhaps, this whole thing was just a farce designed by the old fox. What else is there that doesn't?"
"There are still some things that need to be decided by the president. The middle-aged guard reported seriously. Listening to what he said was all about the guards of Manro City, I didn't bother to listen to it anymore, so I pulled Feng'er and silently sneaked into the temple.
"Master, there seems to be a very oppressive aura here, well, it is very similar to the aura that the slave felt twice before. As soon as she entered the temple, Feng'er said in surprise. Maybe it's because there is an enchantment relationship in the entire temple, but you can't feel this breath at all outside.
"Are you sure?" I said with a slight excitement. For a long time, that mysterious atmosphere has made me curious, but now that there is news suddenly, there is no reason not to be surprised.
"Yes, it should be around here. A trace of fierce fighting spirit flashed in Feng'er's eyes, but unfortunately, I didn't notice this. "It's still a little weak here, maybe it's blocked by some kind of barrier. ”
"Then look for it!" I said eagerly.
In fact, there is no need to look for it at all, at this time, even I can already sense the mysterious aura, which is gloomy, tyrannical, and full of danger. With this hint of induction, it is easy to see that it is coming from under the idol. It's just that now that the entrance to the temple is open, and there are still dozens of guards outside, it is impossible to move the statue.
"What should I do? Master. A glimmer of excitement flashed in Feng'er's eyes, and she said, "Why don't we knock out all the people outside first?"
"Nonsense!" I frowned, "Most of the masters of the mercenary union are here, not to mention only the two of us, even if we add Xiao Yu and them, we may not be able to knock them all out." What's more, there are 5,000 people from the mercenary union around here, and if we really start to do it, we are afraid that we will be tired and faint. ”
