Walking in this empty and gloomy underground corridor, looking at the familiar layout of the room and the house number next to him, Xiuge had a subtle illusion.

It is as if the ground has become a giant mirror, and the buildings above the surface are reflected in the mirror, forming a world of emptiness that is difficult to peek into and full of a deep sense of mystery.

The heavy metal doors were locked, and Xiuge tried to see that his strength was not enough to push them open.

After a brief discussion, Vicin used a "Unlock" on the door of Room 203.

This kind of raindrop-level simple magic, Wei Lin is completely able to skip the magic book and magic inscription and cast it directly, and the effect it brings is more accurate and gentle, which is very different from the violent "destructive" lock-picking magic cast by Xiuge.

With a dull metallic thud, the heavy locks that sealed room 203 underground were magically unlocked, and Verine took a step back, a simple lighting trick effecting from her fingertips, a soft, bright glow spilling out from a small ball of light.

Standing at the door of Room 203 with a revolver rifle, looking at the metal door with a small gap open, he inexplicably felt an outrageous sense of déjà vu.

"Mr. Schugg?"

Wei Lin didn't quite understand why Xiuge was momentarily stunned at such a time.

"I'm sorry, I just remembered something......

If Schug remembers correctly, this face must have belonged to a famous member of the Ernst family, namely General Walter, Ludwig Ernst, who had shone in the great war two hundred years earlier.

Even if he now has the full support of the Black Sun Association, he does not dare to do so.

Xiuge was surprised to find that the figure lying on the bed was not a simple, crude humanoid stone sculpture.

Whenever he stood behind his father, he couldn't help but look at the other person's neck.

The Ernst family has had many outstanding figures in the past, and Ludwig is just one of them.

Zeke Ernst carefully studied the portrait in front of him, the wrinkles on his old face trembling slightly.

"Yerevan...... Yerevan!"

A well-dressed middle-aged man walked into the break room.

After a brief moment of shock, Willin closed the curtains again, blocking out the light from the window once more.

But he didn't dare.

But today is different, Yerevan Ernst knows very well what the meeting of nobles of Leyland represents, and his father's willingness to let himself officially attend this important meeting is equivalent to announcing his decision in front of all the important nobles of Waterl.

In fact, it's very delicate and full of details.

Suddenly he realized that he seemed to have seen such a face somewhere, and he quickly rummaged through his own memories and those of Shog Ernst.

It was only with General Ludwig that the Ernst family truly stepped into the military realm of the Vottel Kingdom.

When this meeting is over, the heirs of the Ernst family will be completely confirmed......

….

"Some kind of crystallization...... It seems to be somewhat similar to the magic crystals we are used to."

Whenever he had to make a big decision, he meditated on the portrait of General Ludwig, as if he could draw enough wisdom and courage from it.

He had short curly hair, a straight face, and his eyes were slightly open......

The pitch-black room suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

Shuge "stared" at the delicate figure wrapped in pitch-black colors, and after witnessing the black rat swarm and speculating about the underground space, he only felt uncomfortable.

It looks like it's going to talk.

It wasn't until this moment that the two of them realized that the black wall they had thought of before was actually a huge black flannel curtain, and if it weren't for the mage's hand to investigate, I'm afraid the two of them would have roots

Ben wouldn't have realized that there was a layer of obstruction in front of him.

It seems to be a hotel room with a normal layout, with a desk and chairs, a wardrobe, and a magic lamp fixed to the wall......

It was a painting.

That's the curtains.

However, now, Xiuge saw him again in such a gloomy and strange environment.

The metal disc that had been rotating at a constant speed unexpectedly accelerated in full force at some point, which caused waves to stir up in Xiuge's vast spiritual ocean, constantly washing over his nerves.

Despite being underground, Verin was very careful to extinguish the light source in the room, and only slowly pulled back the black curtains when the room was dark again.

The old man's voice came from the front, and Yerevan hurriedly ended his reverie, and he stepped forward respectfully as usual, gently resting his palm on the back armrest of the wheelchair.

Listening to Wei Lin's words, Xiuge's heart moved slightly, he tried to mobilize his special magic power from the nameless dark green crystal, and the metal disc immediately began to accelerate, and his magic perception was also strengthened to a considerable extent.

As Wei Lin turned her head to look at the other place, the mist of the messenger in the mirror gradually filled Xiuge's eyes, and the dark stone figure began to become clear in Xiuge's vision, and the outlines, lines, and details hidden in the dark color also appeared.

Hug sneered, resisting the urge to kick the door open and shout into the room, and instead following his mental experience, he cast a "grease spill" trick in the direction of the metal door's shaft, and then summoned his dark green mage hand and pushed the heavy metal door forward.

"There is no light at all and there is no trace of normal life, but everything here is very clean...... There's not even dust on the ground, cleaned by the attendants in black masks?"

As at any other time in the past, Yerevan Ernst maintained a very good aristocratic bearing, and today he is particularly excited, although in the past he has taken over the decision-making of many important matters in the Ernst family, but there is no end to the discussion about whether Yerevan Ernst is the next heir to the family.

Today is very important to the nobles of Leyland, and in today's meeting of nobles, these elites who were once able to influence the development of the Kingdom of Waters will face a series of questions that will have to be discussed: what decisions this ancient alliance of interests should make in the face of the impending war and the rapidly expanding and expanding royal power.

….

"Father, the meeting is about to begin."

To this day, there are war monuments to this general in many border cities of the Wattel Kingdom.

In front of the portrait of General Ludwig, Zeke Ernst took off his black top hat, revealing a very thinning silver hair.

Xiuge cursed silently in his heart.

"What do you mean...... Could it be that these underground floors are also special burial grounds for the Ernst family? This is a special memorial to an important member of the family?"

It is a carved male body, dressed in very old aristocratic clothing, with his hands crossed in front of his abdomen, and several different rings on his fingers.

Verin's mage hand floated over and gently touched the stone figure, but it did seem to be a "dead thing", and did not respond in any way to the touch.

Shug and Verin's eyes were immediately drawn to what was lying on the bed, a dark figure that was still pitch black even in the light of the light ball on the roof.

It is said that until the general's body was buried, the shining crystal was still embedded in his chest.

Verin finished her examination of the stone humanoid, "Be careful, don't mess with it."

And at this moment, Xiug heard a sudden slight sound from Wei Lin on the other side, so he turned his head to look, only to see Wei Lin suddenly manipulate the mage's hand to float to the wall on one side, and the mage's hand was gentle

I fumbled in the darkness twice, and then I lifted something out of the dark wall.

But at the end of the war 200 years ago, the general, who had a brilliant military acumen and overhauled the Vartel army, was killed by an explosion caused by a badly malfunctioning crystalline cannon during a routine artillery patrol.

Of course, there is also a standard large bed.

The first thing he saw was a faint light—it was a window, and outside the window was not a stone wall, but a real space, and he cautiously came to the window and peeked out, so he saw the light "downstairs", which was a large "square" of astonishing size, most of which was shrouded in darkness, but there were lights along the main road, and by these rays he could see the sporadic flickering of human figures.

"Huh?"

With a flick of her fingers, Vilyn controlled the ball of light to move slowly forward, and then floated to the top of the room, illuminating the room like a real lamp.

Soon, he succeeded in finding a correspondence.

It's like a medal given to him by the war itself.

"Miss Vilin, can you see what this is?"

General Ludwig was Zeke Ernst's most admired person, and his biography, his thoughts and predictions about the military and political situation, as well as his prospects for the development of the future military model, are the contents that the elder Zeke is most familiar with.

The oppressive feeling brought about by the Three-Clawed Falcon is not only in the military aspect of the Waters Kingdom, but also in the presence of Zeke Ernst as a mountain for any member of the Ernst family.

….

He stood up and was about to tell Verin about his discovery of the stone statue on the bed, when he suddenly received a warning from the spirit world.

Snich, the running rat waiting in the hallway, didn't notice anything, and it was clear that the danger wasn't coming from its direction.

Even if it's a crumbling mountain.

Standing at the bottom of the mountain, man is destined to be small and humble.

Wei Lin leaned in, and she looked curiously at this strange stone, which she had never seen before, "But I can't feel the flow of magic in it, maybe it's because the magic has been exhausted, or maybe it's a man-made alchemy item in nature."

"Can an underground space of this magnitude really be sustained? These people haven't even thought about what to do if there is an earthquake? Oh...... They have magic, and that's fine."

He was supposed to be an important heir to the Ernst family.

This discovery is somewhat surprising.

A portrait hangs in the corridor of the Ernst Manor House and in the armoury exhibition hall at the same time.

So Hug quickly turned his gaze to the black figure on the bed, and in the magical vision provided by the messenger in the mirror, he was surprised to find that the stone statue belonging to the Walter general Ludwig Ernst had opened his mouth slightly at some point.

As a result, a picture that exceeded the expectations of the two appeared.

……

After carefully observing the house, after confirming that there were no magic traps or alarms of any kind in the room, he stepped into it first, and slowly walked to the bedside, and at this time, he saw that the person lying on the bed was not a person or entity, but a human figure carved out of some kind of pitch-black stone, which seemed to be very special, and when the light shone on it, it would be completely absorbed, so that the whole humanoid stone statue seemed to be a pitch-black void that appeared out of thin air.

It is said that a shattered magic crystal, like a short spear thrown by a giant man, pierced through General Ludwig's chest with precision.

"I can only feel the same ritual fluctuations as in the room above, and there is no other special trace, but it could be some ancient ritual that goes beyond the realm of regular spells, or some kind of evil magic mastered by the Black Sun Society."

Xiuge originally thought that the underground floor he found was essentially an extension of the mansion on the ground, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated the action and brains of the Black Sun Society...... And they did

However, a whole manor hotel was recreated directly underground, and even such a large space was dug up, and I don't know what the specific purpose is.

The body was so old that it had to rely on a variety of magical instruments to control its many ailments and imperfections, and Yerevan knew that if he had the courage to choke the thin neck, or simply terminate the secret instrument in the wheelchair, the old man in the wheelchair would immediately turn into a corpse.

"You've been working hard these days, aren't you?"

The old man smiled gently, "That student of mine has been very active lately, and must have caused you a lot of trouble?"

"It's all something I'm supposed to deal with, not hard...... However, yesterday, the Fifth Chasseur did arouse the dissatisfaction of many people, who thought that it was a destruction of the status and rights of the nobility."

"Hmm...... That's their opinion, and I'd like to hear yours."
