Due to the bandits' frenzied robbery in the wilderness, no new people have arrived in Hamlet for five months, and the empire seems to be on the verge of abandoning this cursed territory, and all kinds of supplies seem to be desperately lacking. As a last resort, two months ago, Dismas, Barristan, and Yulia gathered all the professionals in the town and set out for the bandits' lair hidden outside the town, hoping to wipe them out there and maintain the development of the town.

But who knew that there was such a terrifying thing as a magic cannon in the bandits' lair, and the originally stable battle situation suddenly took a sharp turn.

The bounty hunter Tydev, who shouts "gold is the cutest thing" every day, is blown to pieces in the face of a sneak attack by the magic cannon.

Kingos, the clown who loves to dance and sing in the moonlight and bring joy to the town, sheds the last drop of blood from his body and falls.

In order to save themselves, dog trainer Shaki and his dog Scooby-Doo bravely rushed to the magic cannon and suicidally launched the final charge.

Boudicca, the female leader of the barbarian warriors, wielded the long blade in her hand and died with her enemies.

Hated Bigbi transformed into a terrifying werewolf, and with the roar of the magic cannon, he used his burly and strong body to push the terrifying cannon into the abyss of the coast, which in exchange for the final crushing victory of this battle and opened up the smooth connection between the town and the outside.

The bandits around the town were empty, but in exchange for the death of four 'Master' professionals and the permanent disability of one 'Defender'.

Bigby of Abomination could no longer transform back into human form, his burly werewolf form brought only endless pressure and trembling to his companions, and he could no longer enter the ruins. Without the anti-pressure expert Jingos clown and the dog trainer Xia Qi, there is no professional to team up with him, as a werewolf form, the automatic pressure increase in each turn will only make the whole team collapse quickly. This meant that he never had the chance to obtain the strange object and transform back into a human body, and could only become the town's lonely ranger, patrolling the walls at the head of the city every night, and hiding in the depths of the mill during the day, licking his wounds alone.

The one-eyed Barristan Selmy, full of white hair, stood upright in the circular square, and the only remaining eye was like a lone wolf in the night, shining with a blood-devouring light in the night. As a veteran of a hundred battles, on the night when his companions risked his life to push him out of the cannon pit, he refused the medical request of the war nun Yulia, forced his injured right eye out of the socket with his fingers, and put a dark blindfold on himself.

From then on, he gave up the recklessness of attacking and devoted himself wholeheartedly to protecting every member of the team. The spear of yesteryear had been replaced with a wide shield and a heavy steel hammer, and the leather armor that had once been covered with medals had been replaced by the heaviest plate armor, and he did not want to lose the lives of more of his companions to his impulses.

There are only five professionals left in the town except for Bigby, the robber Dishmas is immersed in alcohol every day, the war nun Yulia's face is covered with horrific shrapnel scratches, and she has no smile on her face when she used to like to laugh, Baldwin the leper throws herself into the arms of her heavenly father, and Audrey the tomb robber is a merchant, frequently going back and forth between the town and the fortress of the empire, urging the town to deliver scarce supplies.

Looking at the stopped carriage in front of him, the veteran Barristan had a glimmer of hope in his heart, the exploration of the ruins was almost stuck due to the lack of high-level professionals, and he could no longer lose any qualified professionals, and several of them now only dared to wander around the low-level ruins, looking for some remaining treasures to subsidize the development of the town. Lacking effective depressurization skills, they are cautious every time they explore, and there is almost no possibility of risk, and they are desperate to find the secret of the Crow Territory's treasure.

The fresh blood in front of them is the hope of the town, and they can't be easily lost.

The shadow of the carriage finally stopped on the side of the circular square, and Barristan heard the sound of heavy breathing behind him, and he knew that it was Beagle hiding in the shadows and secretly observing the newcomer.

The oil lamp on the carriage flickered a few times, and finally settled down, and a light body jumped from the front of the carriage.

"Audrey, is that you?!" Barristan exclaimed in astonishment, seeing the blond hair and long-lost smile under the hat.

Audrey laughed, "It's me." Barristan and Bigby, it's been a long time, and the last time we met was half a month ago. When I came back from delivering supplies. ”

"The delivery of supplies is very stable now, maintaining a frequency of every other day. Audrey, why are you back?Is there something wrong with the Empire's fortress?Could it be that the Empire is ready to give up this territory?" Barristan asked, frowning and expressing deep concern.

There was a low roar from the shadows beneath the walls, echoing Audrey's greeting.

Audrey shook her head, her golden hair swaying slightly, like a golden wave of wheat, which was extremely soft under the light of the horse lamp.

"There are a couple of new guys coming in, I think it's very good, they all have a lot of potential, and I think we can expand our squad. After Audrey said this, she turned her head to the carriage and shouted, "Friends, don't be shy, come down and come out to meet everyone." ”

The carriage door was opened, a leather glove was clutched at the carriage door, and then a figure jumped out of the carriage and landed on the ground, and there was a sound of steel clashing. I saw a girl wearing light armor and carrying a huge crossbow on her back, her eyes flashed with a slight panic, and she looked around, and then took a few steps to the side and stood still.

Immediately afterwards, a strong man with blood-stained strips of cloth everywhere, holding multiple flails and covered in scars, stepped out of the car. His eyes and face were wrapped behind strips of blood-colored cloth, revealing only a young mouth, which at first glance looked like a small replica of a bandit whipper, and wore a stabbed bracelet on his right hand, the sharp steel thorns dipped in blood, staining his right hand almost blood.

The third person who got off the car was a handsome middle-aged man, with a beautiful mustache on his chin, wearing a brocade robe, a leather bag on his waist, and a thin bottle in his hand. The middle-aged man smiled and stepped out of the carriage, nodding to everyone again and again, extremely friendly.

Dressed in a beautiful light veil, with a bewitching figure, his face is wrapped in a looming veil, revealing only a pair of delicate eyes, holding a strange incense burner, bursts of fragrance and faint green smoke are slowly emanating from the incense burner.

Four figures of different shapes stood next to the carriage, and Audrey clapped her hands gently, "Alright, everyone is here." Welcome to the town of Hamlet, where you have come with your own intentions, but you cannot venture alone, you will surely die. Only a reliable partner is your strongest backing, and I hope you understand that. ”

Barristan nodded, he lifted the thick shield on the ground, and said, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Barristan, I am a veteran by profession, and it is my responsibility to protect the safety of my companions." I may have some flaws on offense, but on the defensive end, please trust me and I won't let you down. ”

After Barristan said this, a low roar rang out behind him. Barristan continued, "The person who greeted you just now was Bigbie, a former high-ranking professional in our town. He paid a terrible price for clearing the wilderness of bandits and for your safe arrival, so please respect him. In addition to this, we also have four professionals who have also paid for their precious lives in exchange for the peace of the town, and their remains are buried in the graves of the town, which will be remembered forever by the residents. ”

Audrey continued, "This is the town of Hamlet, the territory of the Hamlet family. A paradise for professionals and adventurers, it's full of treasures and secrets, but it's more about danger and corpses that will leave your life here if you're not careful. If you want to come here, you must already have this kind of realization in your heart. Okay, now let's introduce yourself, and you can go to the tavern to find a room to rest. ”

The girl with light armor said, "My name is Mishandy, and I am a crossbowman by profession, mainly long-range attacks, and I also have single-target healing skills. ”

The strong man with the bloody hand spoke, "My name is En, ascetic, melee attack, and the collateral attribute is mainly bloodletting, which can heal your companions and yourself, and you can also absorb the pressure of others to add to yourself." ”

"Oh?!Finally there is a professional who can regulate pressure. Barristan muttered.

The handsome middle-aged man still had a smile on his face, "I'm a mystic scholar Shen, who focuses on monomer healing and attribute curses, has skills in both near and far attacks, and has special effects to deal with alien demons." ”

The last bewitching woman spoke, and the voice under the veil was very magnetic, "My name is Pyaka, I am a businessman, mainly to increase attributes and seek companion protection for companions, there is a little single body healing skill and single attack skill, the effect is not strong. My main feature is exploration, where I can uncover some hidden treasures and secret rooms that may surprise me inside. ”

"It seems that the new partners have healing skills, which is great. For the sake of your safety, we will arrange an old man to take you down to the ruins, hoping that you can mature as soon as possible and unravel the secret of burial in the crow's territory. Barristan said.

Looking at the four figures in the distance, Barristan thought, "Ascetic, merchant, what kind of profession is this? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

------ Dividing Line------

"You are also descendants of the Hamlets, why do you look like those mysterious Orientals, could it be that the reckless ancestor has spilled his blood to the East?" said Yulia, frowning.

Wang Chengen turned his head to look at He Shen, who took out a letter covered with ink from the leather bag on his waist and handed it to the war nun with scars on her face.

"I really don't know why every descendant of the family receives such a thing? It's just a talisman! Could it be that the old fellow who has long since been reduced to ashes will not be able to wipe out all his descendants. The Hamlets have already killed enough people here, didn't your parents warn you in the same way?" Yulia said as she opened the letter to the two fools in front of her, who had returned thousands of miles away and wanted to inherit the family domain, "Unless you unravel the secret of the ancestral treasures, the upper echelons of the empire will not recognize the legitimacy of your inheritance." By the way, Bowen and I are also descendants of the Hamlet family, and unlike the professionals out there who come to hunt for treasures, let's work together. ”

"Our family is in decline. Do you remember our ancient, deep courtyard, which stood so rich and solemn, unmoved and proudly towering high above the fertile wilderness. Yulia frowned as she read the letter, "Why is your letter different from the content of the letter we received from the family? It reveals some other unfamiliar information, it seems that there are a lot of secrets in it~"

"I spent my life in that old, rumor-shrouded mansion. After enjoying a life of luxury and erosion. I'm tired of that almost constant layer of lights. At this time, there is a strange and disturbing rumor that hints at the ancient past of this manor. ”

"A door that may lead to an unknown but unimaginable amount is buried underfoot. Yulia's face began to become solemn, and she read a different meaning from the letter brought back by the descendants of the Orient of the ancestors, which may contain the real reason for the ruin of the Hamlet family.

"I began to learn about ancient relics and religious rituals on my own, and I exhausted all my efforts to discover and restore the secrets that had been buried in them for a long time. I spent every penny of my family's wealth on hired workers and sturdy shovels. ”

Could this be the origin of those inexplicable ruins?!" Yulia suddenly realized what the letter was saying, and became more and more serious.

"Finally, at the bottom of the layer, the stone layers soaked in rock salt, we finally found the ruins of the ancient gods and the inexplicable portals. We activated the portal in curiosity, and the sound of our footsteps disturbed the land for an unknown amount of time, and fear and horror emerged from the inexplicable void, plunging us into the realm of death and madness!"

Yulia's hands trembled as she read this, and the text reminded her of the unbearable exploration of ruins two years ago. The self-sacrifice of the Crusaders, the Plague Doctors, and the insolent horrors of the inexplicable space seemed to reappear before their eyes, and those bloody scenes seemed to be about to reappear.

Yulia's eyes suddenly turned red, and she opened her mouth to let out a roar. I saw Wang Chengen raise his bloody hand above the top and grab it hard in the void, Yulia's head flew out of some blood-colored brilliance, which was absorbed into the bloody hand wearing a stabbing ring, and Yulia suddenly regained consciousness.

"This is your blood pressure lowering skill?!Absorb the pressure of others and pass it on to yourself!" After Yulia regained her senses, she quickly understood what had just happened, "Ascetic~ Could it be that the skill from the East can be used in battle without restrictions?"

"Yes, this is our secret method. Wang Chengen nodded, with a chuckle on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were hidden in a thick bloody cloth, making it impossible to distinguish his true expression.

"I'm sorry, but the information in your letter reminds me of my departed companion. Okay, I'll keep my composure and keep watching, well, it seems that you will be an indispensable member of our team in the future. Yulia praised Wang Chengen and lowered her head to read it again.

Wang Chengen and He Shen looked at each other, these foreigners from the other world spoke really directly, and they didn't hide it at all.

"Eventually, I was the only one who ran through the tunnel, crying all the way through the tunnel, leaving the aberrations and the darkening ancient corridor alone, and I kept running until I finally lost consciousness and everyone else died. ”

"This secret has been buried by me all my life, and now I am dead. I decided to tell you this secret before I died, hoping that you would return to this ancient, deep courtyard, which was in essence a disgusting creature that was constantly festering flesh and blood. ”

"I beg you, come back, no matter how long it takes, come back and claim your inheritance, come back here, and save our family from the shadow of greed that consumes us, and free those innocent souls to this pure world. ”

"Sure enough, there is a secret, it seems that these monsters and skeletons that appear in the ruins are not random, the reason is the mysterious ruins of the ancient gods. Yulia frowned and thought for a moment, "Thank you for the letter, it reveals a lot of important things. I need to talk to someone and plan your exploration carefully. ”
