Like most other alien shelters, the territory of the Ancatero family is hidden in strange space cracks, and is camouflaged and deflected using mysterious technology. As the most mysterious branch of all alien families, Ancatero

The territory is even more secretive than the Shadow Sanctuary, and the method of opening it is only in the hands of a few ancient families like Wayne. After the incident a month ago, the secret realm of Ancatero was completely sealed by the people inside.

, the ordinary opening methods also lost their effect. Wayne Walter had to prepare some special things to help open the door, and in order to open the door, they had to go to a special place: it was underground.

Wayne Walter had come to this small town at the foot of the mountain to visit the Ancatello family more than once, and he knew all the secret routes here. Under the leadership of the vampire patriarch, Hao Ren and the others got into the town.

In the underground sewer.

This seemingly inconspicuous town has surprisingly underground waterways. The wide sewers connect the underground parts of the town like a maze. And such a small town obviously does not need drainage facilities of this scale, so the size of the sewers is

Some areas were blocked or semi-dry. Hao Ren followed Wayne and Hesperius and walked in a wide tunnel like a subway passage. He saw that the surrounding areas were made of permanent concrete and large steel interiors.

A circular pipe supported by a shell, with dim lights embedded on both sides of the pipe. In the center of the sewer is an almost dry waterway, and on the guardrails on both sides of the waterway, dark green moss has seriously eroded those steel and cement structures. According to

Judging from the surrounding lights, there are still people maintaining this place from time to time, and the builders of this place must be humans, but why would a small town like this build a sewer of this scale?

"This place was a battlefield many years ago. It was a military location during World War II," Wayne explained casually after hearing Hao Ren's question. His voice echoed in the wide pipes of the sewer and sounded very loud.

"These underground facilities were originally tunnels and warehouses, so they were extremely strong. After the war, the locals did not abandon these facilities, but instead reinforced them and rebuilt them as sewers."

Lily wrinkled her nose and followed Hao Ren. Because these sewers have complete ventilation facilities and only a few parts are used, they don't actually have much smell. However, as a canine, Lily is still a little allergic to the smell here:

"I didn't expect to have to dig into the sewers...Why did the Ancatero family choose the entrance in a place like this? How did they get in and out before this town was built?"

"Of course there are other entrances and exits. But I chose the safest one this time," Wayne nodded lightly. "This entrance to the underground waterway was settled only a few decades ago. The entrance to the secret land of Ancatero

It corresponds to the position of the stars in the sky, so it changes every once in a while, and each time there are four channels connected to the outside world. In this star cycle, there happens to be one channel corresponding to the human town.

There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Lily exclaimed, feeling that this was quite magical: the entrance to the secret realm that constantly changes with the position of the stars, it really sounded like a fairy tale. Next to Hao Ren, a question came out of nowhere: "Although it sounds quite

It’s safe, but what if the stars turn and the door of the house coincides with the septic tank?”

Wayne was walking in front quite gracefully, but Hao Ren's words almost made him fall into the ditch on the roadside: "Why do you have such dirty thoughts?"

Hao Ren scratched his face: "My way of thinking is quite normal, isn't it? Has no one ever thought of it this way?"

Wayne was speechless, but Hesperius spoke up: "Hao Ren. If you meet the Battanian Witch Spirit family in West Africa in the future, you must not talk to them about this topic."

"ah?"

"The exit of their family's secret realm also changes with the movement of the stars. It is really connected to the septic tank..."

This time it was everyone's turn to be speechless, until Elizabeth folded her arms and sighed like a little adult: "So this kind of lost and out-of-control ancient technology is the most unreliable. I thought about safety at the beginning, but now

Later generations don’t even know how to control direction, so they are blind.”

"Ahem, it's not completely uncontrollable," Wayne explained with a weird look on his face, even a little incoherently. "Selecting a rough connection range can fix the door opening position at a relatively stable location. Or calibrate the astrological chart...calculate

Now, let’s not talk about this, okay?”

"Then let's talk about the witcher?" Vivian blinked. "Wayne, you investigated early. What do you think of the witcher's disappearance here a month ago?"

Wayne pondered slightly: "To be honest, for me, I can't even believe a single punctuation mark in what the demon hunter said, but if what the demon hunter named White Fire said is true, it can be true to the information I have.

Roughly corresponding. A considerable number of witcher groups did appear here a month ago. The number was enough to make the werewolf warriors of the Hogwarf family flee, so it should not be the same as the few witchers currently responsible for investigating here.

The same batch. And according to the fragmentary report of the crazy investigator, he did mention that there were witchers and so on in the Ancatero territory."

Hao Ren hummed and said nothing else.

This dark and cramped underground waterway was really not a good place to discuss matters. The team quickly lost interest in discussing the problem. They followed Wayne in silence and continued to move forward. After bypassing each pipe joint, they finally entered a section that looked like

A place that has been abandoned for many years. No underground water flow can be seen in this passage. The only light comes from a fork dozens of meters away.

Wayne finally led everyone to stop in front of a mottled and dirty cement wall: the entrance was here.

"The detective from the spiritual world would never be able to find the Golden Manor in his lifetime," Hao Ren couldn't help but muttered after seeing the entrance. "The entrance is actually in a place like this. It has nothing to do with sunlight."

Wayne smiled: "The scene on the other side of this door will surprise you even more."

As he spoke, he took out something delicate from his small suitcase.

It was a weird thing like an old camera, but its structure was obviously different. It had a square main body wrapped in black leather. At the front of this "square box" was a hemispherical lens, and

A series of lenses and crystals can be seen at the back end of the "box". This prop is reminiscent of the unreliable "psychic machines" created by those mysterious scholars more than a hundred years ago.

, those supernatural cameras assembled with glass, crystal, copper ore, trying to capture ghosts, also reminded Hao Ren of the psychic lens set in Pierre's hand. But the device in Wayne's hand was obviously different from those half-empty knock-offs.

, this device is inlaid with sparkling runes, and each of its lenses and crystals are not connected with any fixed objects, but rely on magic power to float in their respective positions. When Wayne aimed the device in front of his eyes

When the wall is closed, all the lenses emit a faint light.

The light from the lens group gradually increased, and the front end of the device emitted light like a slide. Like a projection, these lights gradually outlined a series of complex lines on the cement wall. The image slowly changed, and Hao Ren finally saw

That is the shape of a door.

And the most amazing thing is: the door was indeed a simple image at first, but as the device in Wayne's hand kept making creaking sounds, the feeling of those images gradually changed. Hao Ren didn't know

He missed a step, but by the time he realized this, the image on the wall had turned into a real door.

A door made of metal and inlaid with a large number of golden runes.

Wayne turned off the device, carefully put it into his suitcase, and stepped forward to open the door: "Let's go, this door can only last ten minutes. If everything goes well, we can set it up through the Ancatello family

A fixed passage to return to the world here."

Lily let out a long "Oh," and then pushed Hao Ren and ran into the door.

A burst of moist and warm breath hit his face. Hao Ren clearly felt that he had passed through a barrier like a water curtain. He walked out of a door that stood in the air and found that he was already standing in a strange place.

.

The boundless thick fog of chaos shrouded the surroundings. No sun, moon or stars could be seen in this space. The light of unknown origin shone down from above the thick fog, preventing the world from being completely dark. Hao Ren's eyes widened, and in the thick fog

Trying to distinguish the surrounding scenery, he finally saw the scene of the Golden Manor as he wished: although there was a heavy fog blocking it, he still saw a series of splendid buildings dimly appearing in the field of vision. The buildings were exactly as Pierre described.

, almost entirely made of pure gold, even if it was shrouded in thick fog, its splendor was not diminished.

However, what shocked Hao Ren and his party after seeing these buildings was something else.
