Chapter 64: Underground Ruins
Gordon's heart chuckled several times.
Although he is a king, he is better at music and rhythm, and not good at stratagem and the like.
So it wasn't until he was tied up that he finally reacted.
"Oh oh~~~!"
Gordon understood Lindsay's plan and immediately began to cooperate in earnest.
"Oh, that's ......"
"What a gaffe! What a humiliation! As King of Eleguia, I fell into the trap of slave traders! β
"Sad! It's so sad! β
"All I want to do now is cryβ"
Before he could finish his tirade, Lindsay had already leaned in to Gordon.
With his hands tied, he poked Gordon with his elbow.
"You're from a theater background?"
"Musicals."
Gordon corrected.
Lindsay understood and commented: "The performance on the stage really needs to be exaggerated, otherwise it will be difficult for the audience to feel the emotional fluctuations and tension." β
"But if it's a medium and close-up shot, you need to focus on the details, and the range of action can't be too large, otherwise it will be a little contrived."
ββ¦β¦β
Gordon couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he heard such a professional evaluation.
"Mr. Lindsay, are you still an actor?"
"You have books in the library, I took a few looks, and it's almost there."
"Ohββ!"
Gordon nodded, unaware.
β¦β¦
More than a dozen slave traders, escorting four people, all the way into the dense forest.
Eventually, stopped in front of a cave.
But instead of entering the cave, they turned to the bushes on the side.
It turned out that the cave was just a faΓ§ade, and the real "entrance" was at the end of the bushes, a very inconspicuous little hole!
Enter it and follow the stairs all the way down.
The four of them looked around and noticed a number of anomalies.
The passage is narrow, but the material of the walls is not ordinary earth, but hard stone walls.
Even the stairs under their feet are neatly arranged, with an even height up and down.
A project of this level could never have come from the hands of a slave trader, and there was a high probability that it would have existed in the first place!
"This ......"
Gordon's eyes widened.
And as the crowd walked through the passage and came to the wide space underground, Gordon's eyes widened.
"There's a ...... here"
Momentarily speechless.
What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a huge underground space!
It is surrounded by solid stone walls, high platforms and stone pillars, and a large number of intricate notched patterns.
At the end of the space, there is a huge stone gate several meters high, on which a large number of ancient characters are inscribed.
"This is a historical site!"
Gordon was shocked.
He never imagined that there would be a hidden ancient ruins under the ground of Eleguia!
"What the hell is ...... here?"
Gordon muttered.
He vaguely remembered that he had read the relevant literature, but for a moment he couldn't remember what it was.
Suddenly, the slaver behind Gordon kicked him and urged:
"This is our temporary site now, hurry up!"
Gordon's gaze retracted.
He found that the vast clearing in front of the stone gate had already been turned into a secret stronghold for slave traders.
All kinds of tents, tables and chairs, wine bottles, and dinner bowls are all placed haphazardly, looking messy.
ββ¦β¦β
Gordon was silent, anger already rising in his heart.
This is Elegia, the land of love and peace of music, and how can it be trampled on by despicable slave traders!
But how could the slave traders take care of that?
"Anyway, I don't know how the boss found this good place."
"It's just a mess of ruined ruins, but it's said that even the royal family doesn't know about it!"
He kicked Gordon again.
"Hey, hurry up!"
The slave trader urged Gordon, but before Gordon could leave, the other three stepped forward first.
β¦β¦
The three of them turned their heads and looked around.
"The ancient ruins of the Aregia's subterranean? It's beautiful! β
"Oh, oh, be careful, I feel a rather evil aura below, which I have never seen before."
"Hahaha, is that wine? I happened to be thirsty......"
Lindsay, Fuji Tiger, and Shanks walked forward as if no one was around, and even surpassed the leading slave traders, and arrived in front of the stone gate first.
Slavers: "? β
In front of everyone's eyes, the three of them sat down directly.
Shanks directly ripped off the hemp rope on his body, picked up three new bottles of wine from the ground, and placed them on the table.
It was only at this moment that the surrounding slave traders reacted and realized that something was not quite right.
"You idiots!"
A bearded man with a hammer came out of the side and shouted at the slave traders:
"What else did you say about kidnapping the king as a hostage? Now even the hiding place is exposed! β
"This ......"
"What is this, here, come on!"
The beard is obviously a "cadre" level character.
With his order, figures appeared all over the ruins.
Counting the dozen or so people who had just returned, there were about forty or fifty in all, all of whom were good among the slave traders.
"I don't believe that the weakest East China Sea can have any ruthless role!"
The beard slammed the hammer and shouted, "Except for the king, all the others are killed!" β
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
Numerous slave traders swarmed up.
In the face of such a disparity in numbers, Shanks took a hard sip of wine and raised his eyes to look at the two people in front of him.
He asks a key question:
"My daughter is the cutest of all, isn't she?"
Boom!
A cannonball landed next to Shanks and exploded.
Unbeknownst to Shanks, Shanks tore away the smoke around him and slapped Uta's picture on the table.
"The singing is good, the personality is great, and it is definitely the loveliest on this sea!"
"Oh yes oh ......"
Fuji Tiger nodded, "Your Excellency Uta does sound like a warm and bright tune. β
But then, Lindsay put forward a different point of view.
"'Most' - not quite accurate, Vivi is also cute."
Shanks' brow furrowed, "Who?" β
"Wow!"
Several slave traders screamed and slashed at Lindsay's back, only to be shocked and their arms numb.
Lindsay's body bulged slightly, tearing the rope off her body.
Then, he raised his hand and lifted the group away, and took out a photo from his arms.
It was a photo of Vivi pulling everyone before they left Alabastan.
ββ¦β¦β
Shanks looked at the little blue-haired girl, but he couldn't make the slightest criticism.
While pondering, several more slave traders rushed over.
Shanks turned around and kicked them away, suddenly thinking of a solution.
He put the two photos in front of Fuji Tiger and grinned:
"Hey, Fuji Tiger, can you rate it?"
Fuji Tiger: "......"
Fuji Hu: "It's really inconvenient to get down......"
"Wait!"
Shanks suddenly raised his hand, his gaze searching somewhere.
An arrow rushed to the side, kicked the slave traders there, and snatched two knives from their hands.
It was his love knife "Griffin", with the cane knife of the Fujitora.
Shanks slung Griffin back to his waist and threw the staff knife at the tiger.
Seeing this, Fuji Tiger also broke free from the rope on his body, took the cane knife, and his expression fell into a deeper entanglement.
"I helped me get back the love knife, and I should be grateful, but this evaluation is ......"
"Die, guys!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the bearded beard took out the high-power hand cannon that he bought with a lot of money, and aimed it at the three of them.
Phew-
Lindsay turned her head, emerald green scales popping out of her spine, and she opened her mouth and roared.
"Roar!"
The handcannon shell was blown upside down and flew back, colliding with the beard.
Rumble!
β¦β¦
"Well, it is indeed a favor to protect the subordinates from the bombardment of artillery fire, but ......"
"Say it!"
- Lindsay and Shanks speak at the same time, pushing the photo in front of Fuji Tiger.
Fuji Hu could only hold his staff and knife, and he couldn't advance or retreat for a while.
What could he do?
He's just blind.
Weak, pitiful, and helpless.
ββ¦β¦β
"Let's focus on what's in front of you, you two!"
Fuji Hu stiffened his head and diverted the topic, "The three of us are under a dangerous siege, so let's deal with the enemies around us first!" β
Immediately, he pulled out the staff knife in his hand slightly.
But look around, where are there safe slave traders?
or be swept away by Lindsay;
Either get kicked away by Shanks;
The few remaining survivors were also covered by the gravity of the vine tiger, and they lay on the ground, unable to move.
"Oh yes oh ......"
Fuji Hu smiled helplessly, sighing that he had finally survived this catastrophe.
β¦β¦
And in the next momentβ
The three of them sensed a strange aura at the same time.
They looked up at the same time and whispered, "Who?!" β
β¦β¦
This was an ordinary scene.
But as a bystander not far away, Gordon found something extremely unusual!
I sawβ
In the direction that Shanks and Fuji Tiger are looking at is the ruins of the stone platform on the left.
Evan Lindsay, on the other hand, looked at the huge stone gate on the right!
The three of them were moving towards two different goals at the same time, asking the same question.
"Who?!"
β¦β¦
Gordon suddenly remembered the document he had read.
A horrific nightmare buried in the history of Aregia, a cursed monster that destroys everything indiscriminately-
Totemjika!
