(For the "Pink Cat Cat Rabbit MK2" brother [2/5])

In this continent full of psionic legends, the cultivation of any kind of high-level military class is inevitably the ritual of the introduction of external energy.

After all, the life of an individual is always fragile compared to the majestic mystical power, and the combination of the individual and the mystical power can obviously bring about a reborn effect.

Because of this, if the Earl of Sharon and the Knight of Valand want to rebuild the formation of the hussars as soon as possible, they must first re-sign a protection contract with the ancestral forest.

Only by regaining the blessing of the spirit of the forest can the newly recruited cavalry gain supernatural strength and swiftness, and only in this way can the "undefeated legend" of the hussars in Transencia be maintained.

This should have been an ancestral secret of the Sikomal family, the leader of the mountain people for generations.

It's a pity that little Sharon, who took over the role of Earl Sico in the midst of the crisis, only learned about this secret two days ago, and learned all about it from her dead father.

A mysterious "Wood Grail" was required to re-sign a war contract with the Ancestral Mountains to bless all new members of the Hussars, but it had been hidden in the tomb of the original Earl Sico.

The devastation from war is not only torturing the living, but even the dead.

Years of war have destroyed the family's mausoleum, so much so that when this sacred moment is approaching, Sharon Jr. even has to pin his hopes on two "tomb robbers".

Lady Dorothy and her apprentice thief apprentice in the other world, Frostfang, will be looking for her in the tomb of the first Earl of Sico.

They didn't just go alone, they even brought a "team of professionals" with them.

Because of the tragic experience of Brother Meow's death, he was gagged out of the game for seven days and couldn't enter the game, and the other brothers of his big bird turned around and turned into headless flies who didn't know what to do.

They were considered "lawful tomb robbing", but before going down to the collapsed tomb, Lord Murphy himself told them:

Don't touch anything you shouldn't bring out!

The mausoleum of the first Earl of Sico also belongs to the category of "forbidden land" near this mountain forest, and it is already the Countl of Sharon who has used the prestige of the Sicomer family to vouch for them from the elders of the mountain people.

If the mountain warriors guarding around him find out that they have stolen the burial goods, then Murphy will not be able to protect them.

It has to be said that this restraint is more uncomfortable for Lady Dorothy, who has been a tomb robber for a while, than killing her.

After all, there are really a lot of "good things" in the Earl of Sico's mausoleum.

"This is an ancient tomb that is more than 300 years old, and its underground body is still intact, but the little earl of Sharon clearly said that there must be a mechanism to prevent tomb robbers here, so you will control your hands for a while, and never touch things that should not be touched."

On the ground, there are few words, and there is a little social fear of frost fangs, and as soon as the tomb is removed, it immediately becomes "talkative".

This is probably something related to his profession.

In the dark tomb passage, he lit a torch, and skillfully avoided the obviously problematic places in the tomb with a sense of relaxation of "revisiting the old place", and said to the four King Kongs, Xiaoshou and Yansang who followed behind him with the same posture as the "tour guide":

"You have to keep up with me, don't panic if you trigger any mechanism, considering that this is a family cemetery, there shouldn't be that outrageous thing that will cause the entire structure to collapse once activated, so in most cases, it can actually be saved.

But you must be bold and careful, and you must not panic in case of trouble! If you have to find a place to hide, remember to go to the corner, you really can't go to the sarcophagus, where it seems safer is actually more dangerous, which is not a slip of the tongue. ”

"Wow, buddy, you're so professional."

Sangodou, who was also carrying a torch, carried a shield on his back, and he looked left and right in the darkness, and whispered to the claw of frostfang who led the way in front of him:

"You specialize in this in reality?"

"Pretty much."

Tooth grinned in the darkness and didn't explain too much.

Returning to this dim environment made him feel a little "relieved", and when he looked up, he saw that his mentor Dorothy was already standing by a broken wall and was studying a broken gargoyle head sculpture.

The players walked over to find that there were several corpses lying on the side of the wall.

"It seems that we are not the first people to come down."

Lady Dorothy glanced at the dried corpse beneath her feet, which still showed signs of decay, and she pointed to the broken gargoylee sculpture in front of her, and pouted:

"These unlucky ghosts are wearing the military uniforms of the Plantagenet Kingdom, probably scouts sent by the Pioneer Legion, these guys are really unprofessional! Such an obvious psionic trap actually dared to come over. When I went down to the grave, I didn't brag about it, I could recognize it at a glance as an obvious trap like this. ”

"They weren't all killed by psionic energy, either."

Tooth crouched down and examined the bodies of the "seniors" with the caution expected of a stalker, finding bite scars on one of them.

He glanced at the iron door leading to the main burial chamber that had been pushed open in front of him, and said:

"There must be something supernatural in this, said the Earl of Sharon, where the ancestor of the first generation of the Sikomel family buried his favorite war dogs with him."

"Damn, there's a ghost here?"

Yan Sang in the crowd shook his body, and he suddenly realized that it seemed a bit risky for him, a helpless scout, to run down with him.

But the other players didn't care.

They simply drew their weapons in silence, ready to deal with the danger that might arise next.

"Weapons back!"

Dorothy scolded:

"I have the crest of the Sicomel family in my hand, given by the Earl of Sharon, which is enough to keep us from being attacked by the guards of the dead in the tomb, but it is impossible to tell you about meeting your ancestors with weapons.

In my experience, dead people don't have the patience to reason with you. ”

"Huh."

Reprimanded by the NPCs, the players obediently withdrew their weapons and headed deeper into the tomb under Dorothy's leadership.

The road ahead collapsed so badly that there was even stagnant water, and a few power-based "livestock" players had to make cameo appearances in the "Dancing Shovel Class" to quickly clear a path in the midst of the flying bricks and stones.

This is the main reason why Dorothy and Tooth brought them down.

"The collapse of the tomb is not all bad, several hidden traps have also been destroyed."

Tooth circled around a few times before reporting to Dorothy:

"The path to the side chamber is blocked by falling rocks, and we don't have to worry about being attacked by the souls of the hussar warriors who buried Count Sico. I now suspect that the destruction of the cemetery was probably not accidental.

Maybe the Pioneer Legion deliberately attacked this place so that their scouts could safely enter the cemetery, or maybe they wanted to take something from here too.

Like the Holy Grail we came down to find. ”

"Why do you think the Pioneer Legion wants to do this?"

Dorothy, who has a lot of life experience, shook her head and said:

"Just because the corpses were wearing the uniforms of the Pioneer Legion doesn't mean they're necessarily the half-dwarves' subordinates, and from what I know about dwarven customs, robbing graves and disturbing the peace of the dead is a heinous crime in their culture.

They believe that these resting places beneath the earth are the sanctuaries of Mother Earth, and that Lady Gaia does have a 'patron saint of the dead and the graveyard' in her priesthood.

So I'm guessing that the exploration of this cemetery is most likely due to some hidden forces within the Pioneer Legion. ”

Frostfang's claw nodded.

The local customs analyzed by his mentor were very reasonable, and they were the experiences and ways of thinking that he had to learn.

"To my surprise, though, you seem to be very familiar with something like the Tomb, and you look like an expert in your own field when you walk in the dark."

Dorothy looked her otherworldly apprentice up and down, her eyes glowing reddish in the darkness, and after a few seconds of thought, she leaned closer to her teeth and whispered:

"This tomb is a treasure trove that we can't loot, but I also know that there are other 'riches' hidden underground in the land of Translasia, so why don't we work together? We're going to get rich. ”

"No, I refuse to astringent wealth in this disgusting way."

Yaya very decisively refused:

"My work ethic does not allow me to do such a thing, and if I develop a bad habit here, it will make an unforgivable mistake in my hometown. You should go to other interested people. ”

"Hmph, forget it."

Dorothy pursed her lips and said:

"Taking a group of stunned young people to hunt for treasure in those dangerous tombs is equivalent to burying yourself in the earth with half a foot, and I'll wait for the rest of the Blood Rat Gang to grow up before I talk about these plans.

But my apprentice, you have to understand that if you want to get rich in our business, you have to let go of morality, so much wealth is buried in the ground and does not see the light of day, we just take them back to the world and do something meaningful."

"Is that how you hypnotize yourself?"

With a slight disdain, Yaya said:

"Taking a burial object in a world without psionic powers is condemned both mentally and legally, but the price of daring to disturb the peace of the dead in a land full of magical power is almost tenfold multiplied.

I advise you not to do these things again.

Even if you're a vampire, you won't be able to keep your car from overturning, and if you provoke a very powerful evil spirit, I'm afraid I'll have to take the time to send your ashes back to my hometown thousands of miles away and spend time at your memorial service. ”

"Hmph, it's just an 'occupational risk' in our industry."

Dorothy was a little hairy by her own apprentice.

She recalls that there were many cases in the Explorers' Guild where she had been, showing that thieves with unclean hands and feet often ended badly, but how could her hard-mouthed character give in?

And just when the master and apprentice were arguing, several players in the big bird group had already cleaned up the collapsed tomb road with quick movements, but at the moment when the last rock was pushed away, Sanwudou and Heisi Ge, who were holding shovels, immediately stiffened in place.

In the dark tomb in front of them, five half-ghost war dogs in rusted armor were staring at these "uninvited guests" with eyes burning blue ghostly fire.

The ghosts of these war dogs were each half a man tall, and their eager posture and the ferocity of their fangs made the two young players who saw them feel terrible.

"Five Tomb Ghosts! All of them are special Black Iron Elites marked as 'Guardian Spirits'! , don't move! They're staring at us. ”

Sangodou issued a low warning, telling the little hands behind him and Yansang not to run, in case they were chased by these war dogs in this narrow terrain, they would be doomed.

"Stand down! We are the messengers of the contemporary Earl of Sicommel! ”

Just as the young players were facing each other, Dorothy stepped forward quickly, holding the family emblem of the little Earl of Sharon and scolded the five fierce war dogs in front of her.

The aura emanating from the emblem made the ghost war dogs who had already entered the battle state show confusion.

The tallest of the dogs, the tallest of them, sniffed as they had been alive, and after confirming that Dorothy's crest came from Sikomel's bloodline, it let out a hollow, low bark that made the dogs get out of the way.

"Come with me, don't panic."

Dorothy said behind her.

She stepped into the tomb in front of her, her teeth and teeth following her, and the other players rushed in, and finally stepped into the burial chamber where the first Count Sico was buried under the "gaze" of those ghostly dogs.

It's surprisingly austere.

In the center is a sarcophagus entwined with black vines, as well as some funerary objects used by the tomb owner during his lifetime, but on both sides of the tomb are two very strange "scarecrows".

It was woven from special wood and vines, resembling a humanoid creature with antlers.

"That's a ritual thing that summons the deer's head."

Dorothy explained in a low voice:

"If you encounter an unskilled tomb robber and take something here, the summoning ritual will be triggered, and two deer-headed spirits will appear here, and together with five ghost war dogs, it will be enough to bury any tomb robber gang.

I've heard that monsters like the deer head can still bind souls, in other words, if they die at their hands, they won't even have a chance to return to the underworld. ”

"Look! There's a baby there! ”

The sharpest-eyed old crook looked around, and finally set his eyes on the sarcophagus, which housed the weapons and armor used by the first earl.

It's hard to tell what grade the armor adorned with the beast's head is, but the barbarian-style double-edged battle axe has spent more than three hundred years in the catacombs, but it still beats with a sharp, cold glow under the torches.

At first glance, it is not ordinary.

Big Bird goes around the group, you look at me, I look at you.

They were all a little excited, after all, for the players, they were finally allowed to enter such a forbidden place and really found good things, and it always felt a bit of a pity not to take them out.

"If you want to die, don't take me with you!"

Tooth felt the longing in his companion's heart, and he immediately persuaded:

"This time it's a plot mission, don't fool around, if you really want to wait for the matter to pass, then organize your own people to come back and loot it again. You all know the path, but I reckon you'll pick up that tomahawk and trigger the trap in the catacomb.

Given the strength of these measures, I estimate that you will have to find at least ten Black Iron Warriors to fight this scenario.

And if you take this axe, you're going to be hostile to the Sikomels, but Count Sharon is an important NPC in the engineering profession and has the prestige of the hussar camp.

Unless it's really a legendary weapon, it's totally worth the cost! ”

"Makes sense."

Lao Qu regretfully retracted his gaze.

But soon, the little hand next to him leaned over and whispered something, causing the other people in the big bird to be stunned for a moment, but soon they seemed to have reached an agreement.

Yaya didn't know what decision they had made, but he could guess that these guys probably didn't want to give up the benefits here.

He didn't persuade him again.

After all, it's just a game, and you can only control your own morality, and you can't restrict the way other players enjoy the game.

He and Dorothy bowed down in front of the first earl's sarcophagus before they began to search for the required "quest items", but the forest chalice was not very deeply hidden.

It was placed on the table in front of the sarcophagus, an ordinary-looking cup, made of some kind of special wood, which was easily activated by the Frostfang's claws when it was picked up, but the information it came out made his eyes shine:

Name: The Woods Holy Grail of Avalon

Quality: Gift of Strange Things

Efficacy:

One. Those who hold the Holy Grail and have Mountain Folk blood can talk to the Mountain Spirits and ask for blessings.

Two. After certain conditions are met, drinking the water contained in the Holy Grail will allow you to complete the special class "Grail Knight" transfer.

Prompt!

This class is the "Special Oath Keeper Sequence", and anyone who violates the class oath will be punished direly.

Maker: Avalon Astral Forge, Mother of the Forest

Item Description:

[There are legends about the Holy Grail all over the continent, and there is one thing in common in these different versions of the legend, that is, only those warrior heroes who have stood the test are able to drink the water of the Holy Grail and obtain the blessing of power.]

You have only one of many Holy Grails in your hand.

It doesn't fit into the path you've chosen so far, but don't be discouraged, as long as you don't stop moving forward, you'll always get your own Holy Grail on the path to the legend. 】

"Got it, let's go."

Tooth turned back to say something to his fellow players, only to hear a few guys from the Big Bird Group whispering about an outrageous thing:

So, to sum up, where do we go to find a group of tomb robbers who are not afraid of death and have the spirit of dedication? Black pot they back, the benefits we take. If it works well, not to mention weapons and gains, even the prestige of the little Earl of Sharon can be ruthlessly brushed up.

Hey, why don't we spread out the map of this tomb?

There will always be fools who are not afraid of death who will come to make a fortune, and by that time, won't our brothers have a way?

Tsk, the plan works! ”
