Chapter 126: The Underground Cavity

Duke Sr. began the ceremony, but Grandin couldn't see his movements because of the bodyguards.

At the end of the ceremony, Old Duke held up a blood diamond and said in a loud voice:

"I, in my name. Recommend Grandin and Harris to the Underworld!"

The diamond, which had been condensed from human blood, was swallowed up by darkness as soon as his words fell. Immediately, the unknown creature wrapped around Grantin's ankle also suddenly loosened.

Inspired by this, Grandin discovers that he has a mark on his ankle.

"Don't ask me what the ritual was or what it was, I don't know." Old Duke directly blocked Grandin's question, and then continued, "Okay, read 'Underworld' with me."

"The Underworld."

"The Underworld."

Several people shouted in turn.

"Very well, then all we have to do is find a random passage and continue walking, and we will be there in no time."

After the old Duke finished speaking, he ignored the two people who were full of doubts, Grandin and Harris, and chose a passage to walk in.

The next part of the journey was even more strange for Grandin, and the invisible force was constantly suppressing him, making his perception completely dysfunctional.

He couldn't tell if he was going up or down. He was walking to the right, but when he landed, the ball of his foot was on the left, and sometimes he even felt like he was walking backwards.

As a precise "machine", such an experience is very rare. Although the outward appearance is completely different, this feeling of being suppressed reminds Grandin of the strangeness of Burreth Cemetery again.

Gradually, the glowing moss on both sides of the passage has replaced the kerosene lamp, and the various colors of fluorescence make the light and shadow in the passage strange.

I don't know how long it took for a few people's eyes to suddenly open up. They had come to a small platform, and a large underground cavern appeared in front of them.

It was at this moment that the power that had suppressed Grandin all the way suddenly dissipated. The noise of the bustle came to his ears in an instant, and these noisy and chaotic sounds came from the thriving trading market in the clearing.

With just one glance, Grandin was sure that most of Enmat's extraordinaries were here.

The glowing moss on the roof of the cave provides enough light to do so, so you don't have to worry about stepping into the air. Grandin took two quick steps forward and found that many caves had been carved out of the surrounding stone walls, and there were various signboards outside the caves. Other caves look like dwellings because of the addition of doors.

"This looks like another Enmat City ......" Harris looked a little dazed, the huge underground cavern shocked him, and he felt a little more confident that he had found the Assassin Order.

Grandin, however, suddenly remembered what he had seen in "Rat Tail Alley": "It's a huge hollow. It's deep, dark and endless, and there's only a cold wind whining there."

The content of this newspaper is too similar to what I just experienced, and it seems that there is something wrong with this newspaper as well...... Are there prototypes for other weird stories in newspapers?

Old Duke didn't give Grandin much time to think, and saw him say:

"Don't go to the northeast corner, it's overrun by an organization called the Aurora Society, they're all crazy."

"Don't accept invitations to private 'rooms'."

"Don't make trouble here, I'm sure you've already experienced that feeling of being suppressed on the way. Think about it, what will become of you when it is a thousand times stronger?"

Old Duke had probably really seen that kind of scene, so as soon as he finished speaking, he shivered to himself. Then he continued:

"I'm not here with you, I still have my own business. When you want to go back, just say "go back to the surface" just like before, and then find a random passage and walk in, and you can go back to Enmat."

When Duke Sr. had explained this, he said "Go back to the surface", and then he retreated into the passage again, and in a short time disappeared around the corner with his bodyguards.

"Grandin, I don't know if you feel that way...... When I'm in the passage, it's like I'm in the belly of a monster." Harris's voice was dry, and the journey just now was not easy.

"I don't feel that way...... But to be honest, this place kind of scared me."

Grandin frowned, and after reminiscing about it, he realized that the experience of walking in the passage was very similar to the feeling he had when he used the "homecoming key" to roam the spirit realm.

If it is really a spiritual roaming, then are we still underground in Enmat at this time?

Because it was just his conjecture, Grandin didn't say it.

"I'm going to go around the city, and we'll meet here in half an hour?"

They were now in a higher position, Harris asked, pointing down as he circled the trading market.

"No problem, I just want to shop around, maybe there's the materials I need." Grandin nodded indifferently.

So the two men parted in place, Harris jumped straight down, and Grandin walked slowly down the steps to the clearing.

He walked from stall to stall, and when he met buyers and stall owners bargaining, he would stop a little and listen quietly from a distance that would not cause the other party to resent him.

After visiting dozens of stalls in a row, he quickly discovered the problem.

There are a wide variety of spiritual materials here, and even extraordinary materials are common.

The difficulty of obtaining extraordinary materials has decreased, resulting in a much higher number of extraordinary people here than Granding imagined.

Grandin glanced faintly at the Aurora Residency in the northeast corner, and he now somewhat understood why the Aurora had been able to fight the Storm Church in Emmatt for so long.

"Should I tell the Storm Church about this?"

As soon as the thought came to his mind, an unspeakable chill began to climb down his ankle and towards his heart. Spiritual reminders always come so timely that Grandin immediately dismisses the idea.

"I need to gather more information, and Duke Sr. obviously has a lot to hide from me......

He stood still and thought for a moment before taking another step, this time focusing more on finding materials.

Grandin's instincts told him that the last auxiliary material wouldn't get stuck with him for long.

Just then, a cave in the shape of a mushroom in the stone wall caught his attention, and it hung a sign outside that read "A Thousand Materials".

Grandin immediately recalled his introduction to the occult, the book called A Thousand Materials.

"Heh, I hope this stall owner really has a thousand materials, and it will save me a lot of trouble."

After making up his mind, he began to walk up the stone steps towards the shop.
