Chapter 27: The Secret Passage in the Back Mountain

[Labor is glorious, waste is shameful, footsteps cannot be stopped, and the other world cannot change the hardship. ——Six-toothed dolphin in the 146th year of the 4th era of Guangming 23]

The manor is very lively, and the forest is very quiet; Leaving the noisy manor, I quietly ran to the second phase of the Behemoth Manor planning area, that is, the third area of the manor, the area with the smallest slope, and then hurried to dig up the foundation of the magic position before them, otherwise it would be nothing to do when they moved.

Alas—melancholy!

At this time, I have work to do, but my heart is happy, thinking: Wait until you finish discussing and then publish the paper, it is estimated that it will take a while, the idea is that I want to come up, and there should be no second one better than me in the manor on the sense of space, it is better for me to start working alone, anyway, it is not too difficult to draw a magic array, and by the way, I will not let myself be bored.

I dug hard this wave, and the monsters watched me dig in full swing, thinking that I had found some big treasure, and they all gathered around to see the excitement, but they looked at the hard polishing of the six pickaxes, and only then did a round rolling stone beast with skin like a stone ask me: "Master, have you dug up a baby?" We're all anxious for you! ”

"Baby? What baby? I asked rhetorically, sweating.

"No baby? So why do you dig so hard? The other giant eagle beast asked, looking at me crookedly.

"Dig the foundation! Can't you see that? ”

"Ahh

"Hurry, hurry! Work hard, work hard! Soon a demonic beast reacted and shouted hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, work hard! Follow me back to get the dirt frame and take a walk! ”

"Hurry up, let's help dig together!"

"Stop! You really don't know how to dig this, this is to dig a magic array, will you? ”

"Nope! That's a mage's thing, Warcraft won't! "A unicorn is honest.

"Just say it! But if you really want to help, you can clean up all the weeds in this woods, and remember that the herbs and millet are not wasted, remember which ones are herbs and millet! I put down my pickaxe and instructed.

"Know! Take it in moderation, use it properly, and never waste a single grass or tree! "I didn't expect that the Warcraft had really learned this for more than a year, and they even shouted slogans neatly.

I nodded with satisfaction: "Good, good!" Go ahead, the second phase of the project - start work! ”

"Whew-"

I smiled and looked at the group of demonic beasts in front of me like ghosts crying wolves, and I felt warmth in my heart again.

As I watched the monsters leave, I continued to dig the trench at the base of the magical camp by myself.

From the north side of the Behemoth Manor to the back of the three mountains, I dug for ten days without sleep, digging around the foot of the Behemoth Manor.

On the evening of the tenth day, Alice came to me and said upset, "Master, why are you working alone?" Don't call Alice to help you! ”

I didn't stop what I was doing, digging and asking, "Alice, where are they now?" ”

Alice said with a look of disdain:

"They! I have been researching for almost ten days, and I have just designed the manuscript paper today. Alice has been looking for the master for two days, thinking that you are out, until today they took the manuscript paper out to compare the construction site, only to find that someone has dug up the prototype of the magic array, Alice then thought that the master dug it, so she searched all the way. ”

I felt that I really wanted to rest, so I didn't say anything polite to Alice, and told her to dig down according to the marks I had drawn.

I never expected Alice to be faster than me, and she was very neat and skillful in her work.

But think about it, after all, she is a puppet, not only has speed and strength, but also doesn't know tiredness, to put it bluntly, it's a machine, as long as there are corresponding instructions, she can keep working, and the accuracy is much higher than that of a human.

After leaving the job to Alice, I lazily ran to the back mountain and began to wander around, this area I had always wanted to explore, but never had the opportunity, today is the right time to explore.

According to the memory of the Golden Dragon God, there should be a secret passage in the back mountain, but the Golden Dragon God did not know where this passage led, but it did not think to explore it, after all, dragons are generally greedy and lazy creatures.

Guided by the memory of the Golden Dragon God, it was still very fast to find the secret passage, and I saw the location of the passage from the cliff wall before the sun had set.

The slope of the back mountain is very steep, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the deep cliff, which is not only bottomless, but also very wide; The distance to the opposite cliff is also several kilometers away, and I am more assured about the safety of the back when I see this terrain; Although there is no absolute defense against the cliff of flying creatures, it can play a decisive role in the defense against ground creatures, and even if ground creatures attack it, it is only a minority, and it can be easily solved.

The location of the secret passage was in the middle of a narrow cliff, and I had to find a route to climb with great difficulty, but this route was only barely enough to reach the cliff of the passage, and I had to approach the secret passage carefully.

After arriving at the location, I knew that there was a small jump platform that was not satisfied with weeds, and the entrance of the passage was on the top of the small jump, and I saw a secret door two or three meters high, which was almost exactly the same as the mountain, if it was not known in advance that this was a passage, it would be impossible to find its existence, and the camouflage was really good.

Although I found the location, it also made me feel sad.

I don't know how to open this passage, I don't know if it's a trap, or if I need a key.

Just as I was about to give up, the moonlight rose in an orderly manner, and the bright moonlight shone into my eyes, and my pupils suddenly contracted, stimulating my brain, and I suddenly thought of a possibility: the moonlight spell!

I can think of this possibility because this position is closely related to the trimoon, and I found that no matter what time it is, from the rise and fall of the trimoon to the setting of the trimoon, as long as there is a moon, this place will always be under the moonlight, and you can see the three moons at any time, and the three moons seen from this position are also exceptionally clear and bright, and the scenery illuminated by the moonlight is very charming.

I don't know if it's reasonable, but it's definitely an anomaly, and it's worth my try anyway.

The Moonlight Spell is a spell of the Elven Clan, and it is a spell that every Elven Clan must learn.

While chatting with the elves, they told me about the Moonlight Charm and its origins.

The elves were a race despised by the elves in the age of the elves, and the elves of that era considered themselves the noblest race except for the gods; They believed that their bloodline was the purest bloodline, comparable to that of the ancient gods, and at that time, the high elven royal family had issued a decree prohibiting the elves from intermarrying with races other than their own, believing that it was to tarnish the noble and pure blood of the elves, and it was a shame for the elves; Therefore, at that time, as soon as elves and other races appeared, the offspring born would be strangled at the first time.

However, the birth of a race has its value in existence, and it cannot be stifled casually.

With the continuous prosperity of the elf era, the news of the birth of goblins became more and more frequent, and more and more goblins were born, and the local government of the elf empire was overwhelmed, and in the end they had to send troops to exterminate them, and the goblins were forced to hide everywhere, so that the goblins had to start fleeing later.

But where there is oppression, there will be resistance.

The goblins continue to gather and unite on the way to escape, forming an immeasurable force, they even broke away from the original elven god belief of the elves, and turned to believe in the moon god, their leader created the moonlight spell on the road of resistance, this moonlight spell is both a song and a magic spell, they use the moonlight spell as the spiritual song and inheritance magic of the goblin clan, and constantly inspire the goblin clan, borrowing the power of the moon with the magic of the moonlight spell, and fighting unrelentingly in that dark era, It also created its own goblin country, and the moonlight spell has become the sacred song of the goblin clan, engraved into the bones of every goblin, and it is a inheritance spell that every goblin must learn.

Thinking back to the history of the race told by the elves, I bowed deeply to the moonlight in the sky and sang the moonlight spell that the elves had taught me:

I don't know what sin I was born in?

Moonlight

You are so bright

Shine on me

I want to brighten my heart through your brightness

Can you see if I am guilty or not?

Moonlight

You are always so gentle

soothes me

I miss my hometown far away, but I don't know where it is

Could you please tell me where my home is?

Moonlight, moonlight

……

My singing drifted far away, probably to the manor, attracting the elves as well, and they sang the moonlight spell with me, and the song resounded through the back mountains.

"Knock knock~"

The stone door of the secret passage slowly opened.

Looks like I guessed right.

I shouted to the elves gathered on the edge of the cliff, "Why are you all here?" This may be the remains of your ancestors, Mia and Miman, the two of you come down from the cliff over there carefully, and the others go back first and wait for the news, it's too dangerous to stand on the edge of the cliff! ”

After watching Mia and Miman get safe, I led them into the secret passage.

"Master, is this really the relic of our ancestors?" Mia was more active, and couldn't help but ask, but was reprimanded by Mi Man: "Mia, follow the master, don't talk too much!" ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay Miman, it's dark here, you can light it up!" ”

At the same time, the two of them released a ball of light floating in front of them, and the black passage suddenly lit up.

After walking straight into the passage, we came to an empty cave with a closed gate on the opposite side, a dozen meters away.

"Watch out for the ground!"

Miman suddenly reminded.

Looking at the empty cave, it is actually two or three meters downward, forming a large pit, and the two or three meters of this depression is at least two meters high and is filled with a layer of mist, fortunately, Mi Man's reminder, otherwise I would almost step on the air.

We followed the steps to the bottom of the pit and walked towards the opposite side.

"Something is wrong!" Miman reminded again.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Mia was pulled by Miman.

I walked ahead and she didn't have time to hold back.

At this point, I also noticed that something was wrong and reminded, "Be careful, there's something in the fog!" ”

Mia also spoke, "We are surrounded! ”

Yes, I also feel that we are surrounded.

The fog had formed a circle of mist spinning around us, and the circle was accelerating, but we couldn't hear any sound.

"Master, this is the Mist of Death, this place should be a tomb, there is no record of this place in the clan." Mi Man said solemnly to me as he looked around on guard.

"What do you mean? You're saying it's not a relic of your elves. I asked, puzzled.

"Yes, if it is the relic of our goblin clan, there is no possibility of undead magic, so Miman guesses that this may be the grave of the dark elves, or even a trap to trap goblins in the elven era."

"Master, what my sister said makes sense, let's get out!" Mia began to grow timid.

Hearing Mi Man's analysis, I think her guess may be right, but I feel more interesting and excited: hahaha, it's kind of interesting! Labor and management still feel that they have been a little bored lately, and finally have something.

"Wait for me outside!" I restrained the excitement in my heart and explained solemnly.

"Master, it's too late......"

Before Mia finished speaking, the things in the fog probably sensed our intentions and had already begun to attack us.

"Be careful!" I quickly pulled the two behind me: "Lean together, I'll take you up first." ”

"Master, it's a corpse poisonous insect!" Mia was even more frightened, her voice trembling.

Mi Man's face was pale, and his voice trembled with force:

"That's not right! It is a highly poisonous ghost corpse, a hundred times more terrifying than a corpse poisonous insect! ”

I don't know what they are talking about, at the moment I only have curiosity and excitement about unknown creatures, and I don't show any traces: "No matter what it is, as long as it is something that has lived in the dark place for many years, it is afraid of light, so it is all stable, and it can be solved with light and fire magic!" ”

The two of them used to fight a lot, and they actually had a countermeasure in their hearts, and before I could finish speaking, they had already released their own Fire Wall Technique and Fireball Technique and threw them around.

The reaction of the two of them was expected by me, and seeing that they had the ability to protect themselves, I was even more relieved, and casually released a high-level light magic that I learned from the angels, the Praise of Light.

Under the magic of fire and light, I could clearly hear the screeching sound of my nails scratching at the iron plate, and the fog gradually dissipated, and the poisonous ghost corpses hiding in the fog became real dead things.

When I saw these things for what they really were, I was disgusted.

The bulging eyes were only white eyeballs, the shriveled face could not distinguish what kind of creature it was, the upper and lower four long green fangs occupied the whole grimace, the body under the slender neck was no different from that of a mole soaked in a ditch, the pale skin was covered with a few jet-black hard hairs, and there were six limbs that could not distinguish between hands and feet, and the ends of the claws on each limb were dark and shiny.

"Burn it, burn it all!" Seeing such a disgusting monster, my stomach couldn't help but roll a little, and without hesitation, I threw out a ball of fire and called the two goblins to do it together.

After setting these disgusting poisonous corpses on fire, I asked the fairy sisters to exit first, and pushed open the opposite door by myself.

As Miman said, this is a large cemetery, and when I push open the door, I light up the front with a ball of light, and I am greeted by layers of dried corpses and skeletons that fill the entire passage.

The sight made me wary of what I saw, just in case I closed the door again and continued to walk inside.

"I'd like to see what kind of place this is, with such a mountain of corpses." Looking at the layers of dried corpses and skeletons, I felt a long-lost stubbornness in my heart, and I muttered to myself.

The more I went inside, the more complicated the passage became, I chose the direction, and when I encountered a fork, I always kept to the left, no matter what was in front of me, it could no longer stop the stubbornness in my heart.

Eventually, I came to the end, and there was nothing here, except these dried corpses and skeletons, still dried corpses and skeletons; But I know that such a strange place is not as simple as the ordinary cemetery that Miman said, but I just didn't find the right place.

I turned around and walked back, still keeping to the left when I encountered a fork in the road.

This time it was completely different, there were many hidden arrows, rolling stones, fire oil, axes, traps, as if an invisible hand was stopping my way, and I knew that I was on the right track.

Finally I came to the end again, but this time there was a gate full of mechanisms.

There was also a staff in his hand, holding a skull, and a large cloak that wrapped it around a creature all over its body; I couldn't see its face clearly, except for the large cloak, its whole body was shrouded in a cloud of black mist, and its body was unusually tall at 5 meters, which looked like an abnormal creature.

As soon as I stepped into the passage of the fork, the staff in its hand flashed green, and the dried corpses and skeletons that were close to me suddenly crawled out of the pit where they were lying and continued to kill me.

I had been keeping an eye on these ghosts as early as I entered here, and I had expected that these ghosts would definitely suddenly wake up and attack me, so I was not surprised by this sudden situation at all, and calmly released an arcane law, the cloak of holy light, on myself.

At the same time, he rushed towards the thing that was not a ghost or a ghost at the fastest speed, and the magic in his hand was thrown out without hesitation.

"Arcane - the light of judgment!"

"Arcane - Sword of Judgment!"

"Divine Arts—Judgment of Light!"

I showed my strength without reservation, and the thing that was not a ghost or a ghost was already wilting when I was struck by my second arcane blow, the Sword of Judgment, but I still increased my attack; I know that this kind of creature in the shadows is the most cunning, and if I don't use all my strength and don't take advantage of his illness to kill him, I may capsize in the gutter at any time, which is the survival experience that Okuko and I suffered during the journey to find "Tole's Diary".

When my divine light judgment fell on this non-human and non-ghostly thing, the other party let out a sharp and piercing cry for mercy: "Please, please let me go, let me go!" ”

"It's late!"

I know that I must not be soft at this time, and I must speed up the killing of it, this state of trapped beasts is the easiest to cause the opponent to counterattack.

The right hand decisively drew a large knife and stabbed the opponent's head with a clear face, and the left hand released a magic - air slash, cutting off the arm holding the staff, and at the same time kicking off the skull in the opponent's hand, all in one go.

Under the continuous attack, the other party let out an unwilling roar: "No-I-curse-"

As soon as it spoke, I guessed that it was absolutely no good thing, so I simply gave it a punch of the Light Divine Technique, the Aurora Holy Seal, and smashed it on its head, and finally finished cursing it before it could finish cursing.

The things that were not human or ghostly shrank into a mass at a rapid pace, turning into a dense stream of silver-gray light, and finally swallowed by me; The memory of this thing occupied my mind for a while, and there was a wave of dizziness, and a feeling of nausea filled my whole body, and it also made me know that this was an ancient god who had been sleeping for an unknown amount of time, and I woke it up; This god is none other bastard, it is none other than the legendary Hades King, an ancient god who does not hesitate.

I'm a god like that!
