Chapter 256: Discovery
It was late at night, and the lights on the Liujin River were still bright, and the boats that came and went stayed awake all night, transporting great wealth to Jinwu City.
In the sky, a full moon shone its clear light, and the craters on the moon are faintly visible.
The clear waves ripple on the surface of the river, and the river gently laps on the riverbank, prompting people to sleep more soundly.
Lazia rolled over and slid into the water, sinking to the bottom without even making a splash.
Lazia moved quickly underwater, and the cultivation of high-level transcendents allowed him to have extremely fast speed underwater.
After walking for a while, a fence appeared under the water, the fence had been soaked in water for many years, and it had rusted to the point that it was full of all kinds of garbage, and the river became muddy.
With the perception of an extraordinary cultivator, Lazia knew that he had reached the entrance to the sewers, and he did not touch the fence, but lay quietly at the bottom of the water.
After a while, Lazia slowly rose to the surface of the water, revealing only a pair of eyes, and behind the fence was a passage, which was wide enough to pass through a carriage.
The sewage in the castle is flowing into the river through the sewer in the channel.
Lazia unleashed a water beetle, which flew through the gap in the fence and headed for the passage.
This water beetle is a probing tool made by alchemists based on the principle of the magic shadow stone - "snooping beetle",
The beetle swayed and flew over the fence, everything was no different, after passing through the fence, the beetle just flew out not far away, crackling a flash of lightning, the beetle seemed to crash into an invisible power grid, and was shattered by the electric light!
Deep in the castle, in a private room, the light in the room was very dim, almost pitch black,
In the middle of the room, there seemed to be a disc that was emitting a faint light. If the light is bright enough, you can see that the room is richly decorated, with scarlet carpets on the floor, intricate carvings on the columns, and beautiful murals painted on the walls.
On the wall facing the door hangs an oil painting of a nobleman with curly hair and a face identical to that of his little uncle.
The room was unusually cold, there was a coffin parked in the middle of the room, the coffin was also richly decorated, carved with various ornaments, the surface of the coffin was covered with ice, exuding endless cold, and in the center of the coffin lid was carved a full moon, which was the glowing disc.
The full moon flickered on and off, as if it were passing through the clouds of the night, and if you looked closely, the circle around the full moon was composed of dense runes, these runes flowed slowly along the edge of the full moon, and the light emitted by the runes was very faint, but it was very striking in this dark room.
Two bats are carved at each end of the coffin lid, and the bats are vividly formed, with their wings spread as if they were about to fly from the coffin.
In the cold and deep darkness, there was another person who was slowly cleaning the room.
At the same time that the beetle was shattered by the electric light, in the coffin, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly opened, and the black shadow that was cleaning the room also turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared into the room in this instant.
In the middle of the river, Lazia reacted quickly, and without hesitation, he dived underwater, casually inserted another snooping beetle into the mud at the bottom, and then fled at full speed.
In the moment when Lazia fled rapidly, behind the fence of the sewer, a cloud of mist emerged from the dark passage,
A figure then came out of the mist, and the figure was shrouded in black robes, and as soon as it appeared, it immediately turned into a shadow and floated to the surface of the river.
The water on the river surface under the moonlight is rippling and the light is dark, and the shadows rise and fall with the waves, which looks like the natural light and shadow in the water, and cannot be detected at all.
The shadow floated on the surface of the river, chasing it out as fast as it could, quickly closing the distance between it and Lazia,
Lazia sprinted with all his might, rushing out of the river, his luck was very good, a cargo ship happened to pass here, he rushed to the bottom of the boat, ten fingers clasped to the board, clinging to the big ship, and following the big ship into the distance.
The black shadow chased to the mouth of the river, looked at the boats coming and going on the Liujin River, and then followed the waves, and returned to the channel along the river.
The black shadow came to the passage and turned into a human form again, looked at the moonlight on the river outside the fence, and muttered to himself, "Damn thief, you can get away quickly." ”,
The moonlight shone diagonally through the passageway, and a gust of wind blew, lifting the hood of the robe, revealing the pale and thin face of the butler Derek.
A snooping beetle lay in the dirt in the water, and only two tentacles no bigger than a human hair poked out.
Derek returned to the dark room and said deferentially to the coffin, "My master, the man ran away, and I didn't catch up with him, and I didn't even see his figure. Judging by the explosiveness of this man's fighting spirit, he is a fighter. ”,
There was silence in the room for a while, and after a while, the magnetic voice of the little uncle resounded through the ice coffin in the room: "You are running really fast." Who will it be? Holy Cult of Light? No, if the Light Cult discovers us, they will only cleanse the place with the Light, and will not be so cautious about probing us. Ferdirando? Nor will it be him,",
The little uncle asked himself and said, "With Ferdilando's strength, if he suspects this place, he will only send someone to search this place directly, and will not let Billingbair go to participate in any reward ceremony." ”
"The Phantom is even more impossible, if she can use her brain like this, then she is not a Phantom."
"Who could it be? The little lord of the Northlands? It shouldn't be, he didn't find anything out of the last time, and Fidel was handed over to Ferdirando, so he couldn't have doubted it anymore. ”,
A pair of scarlet eyes emerged through the lid of the coffin, and he looked at Derek and said, "You asked Gashanda to check, the person who can slip out of your hand so quickly is at least the best in the high-level transcendent realm." You go and ask him if there are any suspicious characters who have come to Jinwu City recently. ”
"Yes, my master." ,
Uncle Zu asked again, "Derek, has he found you?" ”
"Probably not, I went in the misty gauze, I didn't even see the shadow of that person, and it was impossible for him to find me."
"Excellent! It's never too careful, Phantom, you go now, that thief just left, he wouldn't have thought that I would let you go at this time. ”,
"Yes, my master." As soon as Derek's robe rolled up, it turned into a mist, and the fog flickered away and reappeared in the sewers.
In the moonlight, a swarm of bats burst out of the sewers and flew into the night.
Lazia had been attached to the bottom of the boat for more than half an hour, and he was afraid that he was not ten miles away from the river, and then he came out of the water from the bottom of the boat.
Lazia's heart was still pounding at this time, he didn't expect the other party to be so alert, there was still a confidential arrangement in the seemingly abandoned sewer, if he was a little more cautious, I am afraid that it would have fallen into the hands of the other party now,
The black shadow cultivator who was chasing him was far stronger than he expected, but fortunately, the river was not long, and he was able to escape into the passing ships in time.
Lazia put her face out of the water, took a breath of cool air, and calmed her mind.
At this time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the cold moonlight sprinkled the surface of the river, and there was silence all around, only the sound of rushing water.
Lazia dived into the water again, and waited until another boat came from the opposite side in the direction he had come, and then he once again grabbed the bottom of the boat and headed for the Golden Syca.
The boat came to the mouth of the river again, and Lazia got into the water and climbed into the boat he had rowed.
The other party didn't find the second snooping beetle he put down, which made Lazia very happy in her heart, and she couldn't wait to see what the snooping beetle found now.
He pressed the excitement, lay on the board of the boat and waited for the dawn, and looked out of the hole in the canopy, the moon in the sky hung high like an ice wheel, and the few night stars twinkled endlessly.
