Chapter 168: Three Hunters in One Play
Elose stretched her right palm forward and launched a crimson fireball.
The fireball whistled and flew in front of the two fiery serpents, crashing into the ground.
With a booming sound, it swept the fiery snakes into its own explosion, preventing them from running towards the bronze coffin.
Without making any further effort, Albus put on the carbide lamp and stood up.
He looked at Eloth and grinned, "You really know something?"
Albus then taunted Lumian, "You don't know anything."
! If it weren't for the wrong occasion, I'd definitely have to "fight" with you...... Only then did Lumian realize that Albus's recklessness was a temptation, a trap.
"This is the Red Swan Castle of the Sauron family." Aloth did not respond directly to Albus, but only stated a fact.
She's saying that I have the blood of the Sauron family, and I've lived in Red Swan Castle for almost six years, isn't it normal to know something?
Albus turned his gaze to the white candle that had been extinguished for nearly a third of the time, and asked directly as if he hadn't heard Elos's words, "What are you doing in the depths of the dungeon?" If you don't say it, how can we cooperate with you and help you?"
Elos looked at the bronze coffin and replied unexpectedly, "I want to come and see this place known as the forbidden place of the family, where only a few people can enter, and find out if the curse in our blood has something to do with it."
"You're an Einhorn, and you think you're a member of House Sauron?" Albus. Medici laughed at the woman.
This is not only satirizing Elose for not telling all the truth, but also provoking the relationship between her and the Sauron family, so that she can recognize her identity, and there is no need to hide some secrets for the Sauron family? Lumian heard two meanings in Albus's words.
This makes him suspect that the other party is already a "conspirator", always looking annoying and belonging to a disguised trap.
Unprovoked, Eloth sighed and said, "I have half of the Sauron bloodline, and I am also a 'hunter', so I will also be troubled by that curse."
Speaking of which, she looked at Albus. Medici said, "What are you doing in the depths of the dungeon?" You don't really want to play my foolish cousin's childish games, do you?
Albus said in a tone that was half embarrassed and half sincere, "It's time for the curse of the Sauron family to end."
"And to break this curse, you must first understand the nature and source of the curse."
"Would you be so kind?" Eloth no longer showed signs of being well-behaved or reserved.
Albus laughed, "You don't understand, this is called the highest level of love and mercy, mercy knows no boundaries, and I am such a person."
I believe you are a fool...... However, the real "conspirators" do not just tell lies, they are always half-truths, or even all truths, but they lack the key parts...... Albus. What is true in Medici's answer?
He wouldn't really want to help the Saurons break the curse, would he? Eloth said, "I still believe that he is an outsider who has nothing to do with the Sauron family, how can he have such good intentions...... Is this a consequence of his accomplishment of his true goal? Lumien listened quietly, analyzing the answers of the two "teammates".
He also didn't really believe Eloth, believing that what she was saying was only partially true:
She suddenly changed her temperament and ordered the black spiders to leave, which was not like something that could be done by a girl who lived in her grandfather's house and was not taken seriously!
Elos commented on Albus's explanation with a disdainful smile, and then the two of them looked at Lumian at the same time and asked in unison, "Why did you go to the depths of the dungeon?"
"Me?" Lumian pointed to himself with his empty left hand and replied very honestly, "I have been entrusted with an investigation into the cause of the decline of the Sauron family, and something has been given to me. ”
The delegator refers to Gardner. Martin, stuff was referring to the dangerous pollution inside the building at 13 Market Avenue, but Lumien didn't say if he accepted it.
Albus smiled, knowing Lumian's "true identity", and he recognized the lie.
Elose's eyes twitched, as if she was quickly analyzing what was true and what was lying or incomplete in Lumian's statement.
After a brief silence, Lumian sighed and preemptively accused Albus and Eloth: "You 'hunters', you have said so much, and none of you have taken a step forward!"
The three of them were still blocking the doorway, and no one recklessly entered the hall, all waiting for their teammates to step on the thunder.
"It's a waste of time to talk to you." Albus sighed.
He still didn't take a step forward, and said, "At this time, it would be nice if there was an extraordinary person in the 'sailor' way."
"Don't think that the extraordinary person of the 'sailor' path must be irritable and reckless, careless and eager, potions do have a certain impact, but the most important factor that determines a person's behavior is still his character and experience, if you use this stereotype to deal with the extraordinary person of the 'sailor' path in the future, it is likely to become a trait." Elos taunted Albus.
Lumian didn't join them in the argument and asked thoughtfully, "If we hadn't chosen the middle path and the 'Gate of Madness', would we have arrived here?"
"Yes, but some rooms will be more dangerous." Elos stared at the scene in the hall, motionless.
Lumian nodded and asked further, "Will you meet a monster at the demigod level?"
"Most of the extraordinary characteristics of the demigod level have been recovered, and many below the demigod level are still left in the dungeon, turning this place into a restricted hunting ground, which is convenient for the members of the Sauron family to hunt and improve themselves." Eloth didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it for the Saurons.
The vast majority of ...... were recovered In other words, there is still a part in the depths of the underground palace? Is this a situation that has accompanied the complete disappearance of some core members? Does the Sauron family not want to recycle them, or does they not have the ability to do so?
Well, Eloth's description is in line with the current situation of the Sauron family, there are not many demigods at the Sage level, but there are not many of them, and many core members are scattered in the military, politics, and business circles, and they all have decent strength...... What are they missing is a higher level of power? There are no angels, only "0" level seals left, or is there only one angel? Lumian glanced left and right, and saw that Eloth and Albus were patient, as if they were fixed in place.
Frankly, Lumian was eager to see what happened to Eloth and Albus and what their fate would be, so as to judge the danger of entering this hall in the depths of the dungeon, but given the abnormal change in Eloth's temperament just now and the unusual silence of Themipolos recently, he gave up on this plan.
Not only is that very risky, but it can also mislead him!
It was at this time that Lumian suddenly had some kind of dangerous intuition.
He jerked around and cast his gaze behind him at the same time as the light of the carbide lamp.
Albus and Elose did the same.
Diagonally upward, a palm with crimson and near-black veins protruding from the darkness and pressed against the surface of the yellowish glow of the wall.
Lumien's eyelids jumped, and he remembered the scene that memorized him the most from the nightmares that came from the game of King's Cake:
Inside the bronze coffin surrounded by white candles, a palm with crimson and near-black blood vessels protruding suddenly poked out, holding a shriveled and black heart oozing a little blood!
The dangerous creature inside the bronze coffin came out? Before Lumian could use the "Spirit Shuttle" under pressure, he felt a strong fear, which made him want to surrender, and his back bent unconsciously.
In instinctive resistance and struggle, he, Albus, and Elos subconsciously took a step back and stepped into the hall.
In an instant, hallucinations appeared in front of their eyes at the same time.
Lumian "saw" that the hall was covered in illusory purple flames, like a mythical and flattering hell.
At the heart of the Purple Fire was the bronze coffin, which had become transparent and seemed to have no substance, revealing an iron-black ring that it had pressed down.
The ring was embedded in the ground, and in the center was a viscous blood-colored spring with no bottom visible, and in the spring there were several shriveled and blackened withered hearts, sometimes sinking and sometimes rising.
Lines of blood spread out around the iron-black ring, some wrapped around the bottom of the bronze coffin and drilled in, and some connected to the white candles.
The next second, Lumien heard an illusory roar that was frantically violent, as if coming from the depths of the earth.
His mind suddenly buzzed, and the whole person instantly lost consciousness.
......
In the darkness with no end and no boundary, Lumian, who was unconscious, faintly heard the magnificent cascading voices, but he did not know what the other party was talking about.
He tried to listen in a daze, and the melodious melody of Auroel and the ethereal flute of the shepherds echoed in his ears.
"I am the elf of spring......."
The voices grew louder, and Lumian felt a little hot in his right palm.
The fiery heat was noticeable, showing a burning pain.
Pain....Pain! Lumien woke up and opened his eyes.
He saw a red fireball in front of him, and felt like he was being imprisoned by a metal bracket, and he had to stand upright.
At this moment, a black-robed man with a bright red beard and a thick beard resembling a humanoid lion was standing in front of a metal stand, holding softened white wax and pressing it to his body piece by piece.
Lumien did not hesitate, did not do unnecessary scrutiny and fighting, and directly inspired the black mark located on his right shoulder.
In a flash of light, he disappeared into the metal stand with some of the white wax.
At the entrance to the underground labyrinth of Red Swan Castle, Lumian's figure was quickly outlined.
He quickly looked around, saw that there was nothing unusual, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterward, Lumian patted off the ash on his body and examined the items on his body.
He was a little stunned to find that not only the original magical items, gold coins, banknotes, and various potions were missing, but even the extraordinary properties of the "wax man" obtained in the underground palace, the shriveled heart, etc., were all there.
No one searched me? Lumien was surprised, and a discontinuous picture flashed in his mind: it was the image of him losing the calcium carbide lamp and walking silently in the dark.
In those images, his expression was dull and his face was stiff, like a wax figure.
Eventually, he walked to a room on his own, burrowed into a metal stand, and calmly waited for the "wax man" to make himself a wax figure.
It's not like me at all...... Lumian rubbed his throbbing head and chose to go up the stairs and leave the underground labyrinth.
He soon returned to the large living room on the first floor, where he saw the poet Illaeta happily drinking absinthe.
"You're back too?" Elite asked curiously.
"Yes." Lumian, who had recovered his mood, sat down on the sofa and said with a smile, "I was separated from them." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Albus, with reddish hair, also appeared at the door of the large living room.
