Chapter 172 The first floor of the tomb

"At that time, in addition to the common professions of paladins, monks or missionaries, the cathedral also had light messengers, and the temple also had special professions such as ascetics..."

On the first floor of the tomb, I took a rest in a small, dark room. A restless voice with a beautiful melody came out as the necklace on my chest kept flashing. This necklace was exactly the white necklace that Alice gave me. The monk's necklace, after the battle with Alexander, the holy power contained in the necklace had been exhausted, and it turned into an ordinary golden necklace. However, maybe it is a bit inappropriate to say that a gold-level necklace is no longer You can't use the word "ordinary" to describe it.

"Hey~Hey~Xiaofan, are you really listening to me~?"

The girl in the necklace is unhappy. I can even imagine her silver eyes showing a troubled look, and her sweet voice still carries a coordinated rhythm or melody. It seems to have become her instinct. Although it is derogatory, the use of " "What she said was better than what she sang" is the most appropriate way to describe what she said.

"Listen, listen!"

I raised my voice and leaned leisurely against Xiaoxue's plush body with my eyes closed and meditative. The title "Xiao Fan" seemed a bit inappropriate for someone who was only as tall as my chest and who looked about 20 years old. But whenever I protested, she would rarely mention her true age. Of course, when her true age was mentioned in other places, she always deliberately avoided it. What a cunning little ghost. .

"Time will eliminate all things that hinder development, which is the so-called survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest. So far, only seven major professions have survived. Doesn't it explain everything well?" I retorted slowly.

"That's what I say. However, we can't deny everything about them. In terms of data alone, Lightbringer and Ascetic Monk are definitely much stronger than the current seven major professions. It's just because the conditions are too harsh, so to In the end, they can only be lost in the trend of history, and monks and missionaries are also collectively called priests by many people. The main functions of these two professions are assistance and treatment. Because they lack the necessary means of attack, they have no choice but to be eliminated. , Wugu~~”

At the end, Alice let out a painful whimper and woke up from singing for thousands of years. She found that the world has undergone earth-shaking changes. Many familiar things in the past have disappeared. They were replaced by some unfamiliar things, and she felt depressed. Of course.

After being slightly depressed for a while, her spirit quickly came back to life, as if she wanted to make up for the weight she had accumulated over the past few thousand years. As long as I had free time, she would not be able to help but play that beautiful melody to me. She didn't listen to the chatter in her ears, but I have to say that her knowledge was very profound. She knew even more clearly and in detail about anything of her era than Kane did.

Although for me, I am not interested in many things Alice said, but when I am lonely, I will listen to the advertisements on the radio with great interest, not to mention Alice's voice that is like music. ?When I was lonely in the past, I would always talk to Xiaoxue and the others, and they would respond to me with sobs and comfort me with the voice of their souls. But no matter how smart they are, they are still just beasts, and most of them cannot understand the complex emotions of human beings. Still can't understand it.

Another extremely important point is that I, an alien time traveler; Alice, a girl who has been isolated from the outside world for thousands of years, are both unfamiliar and unknown to this world. Therefore, I can travel without fear

Use some popular words and tones from the original world to talk to her. She won't find it awkward, but will curiously ask what I mean. Then I will explain to her with a smile. This feeling is particularly satisfying and accomplished.

It's like training an ignorant girl into a type that suits you step by step, wow~~, I'm so talented.

Of course, I will not say anything that poisons an innocent heart, let alone teach her. In my mind, Alice will always be a noble saint, a saint who only belongs to me and is not allowed to be

Contaminated by anything unclean.

Thinking of this, I slowly pulled out the necklace that was close to my chest. The gentle touch, the golden light, so similar to Alice's aura, and the constant chirping sounds from the necklace all made me feel at ease.

. I slowly stroked the outline of the necklace, feeling the warm breath of Alice emanating from it. My mood, which had been bright just now, suddenly turned gloomy.

Alice is inside the necklace. As a ghost, she can place herself on the necklace. Of course, this is not because I asked her to do so, nor is it because she likes to stay in the necklace. It is just to maintain her strength.

...Yes, to save her little remaining physical strength. When her physical strength is exhausted, that is when the two of us part ways...

"Take a rest, Alice, we have said a lot, let's leave it to tonight..."

I caressed the necklace tenderly, gritted my teeth and interrupted Alice's words. In order to conserve her strength as much as possible, she could only show up for about ten minutes a day. She even had to speak sparingly... Blood, slowly

It dripped from my biting lips...

"Hmm~~woo~~"

Alice reluctantly finished her words in a low voice and responded obediently. The troubled and crying look came to my mind again. She was really a child who would never grow up.

In order to calm down this restless little oriole, I only rested for a moment before I started on the road again. Only when fighting would Alice really stop and let me concentrate on fighting the enemy.

To be honest, when I first came to the first floor of the tomb, I was really surprised. I didn’t expect that the monsters inside were so sparse. The largest group of monsters I encountered was only a few dozen dark demons.

, other pollution monsters, bone mages, etc., gathered together in twos and threes, which was not challenging at all. If it weren’t for the emergence of new monster species, I would have thought I was in the wrong place...

"Have you finally settled down?"

Kasha held the machete of Maldas extorted from someone in one hand, while training the 10 little devils under his control. Without even looking back, he asked Farah who appeared behind him.

"It should be almost done." Farah let out a long breath and lay down unsteadily on the chair.

"The magic circle has been used to isolate the holy light emitted by the cathedral to ensure that it will not penetrate into the tomb and the inner corridor. However, the cathedral and the monsters within three kilometers within it are no longer able to survive. Also, Shao

Part of the light power has penetrated into the first floor of the tomb and near the inner corridor. In a short period of time, there may be fewer monsters in these two places. We must wait for the light power to dissipate before it can return to normal..."

"What a blessing among misfortunes, this matter has finally come to an end..." Kasha took a sip of wine and exhaled a strong smell of alcohol.

"Don't make it sound like you have some credit, I did it all by myself." Farah glared at her and said.

"Don't say that. It wasn't me who repaired the prison wall last time. It was all Wu's fault..." When they mentioned this name, the two of them exuded a surge of resentment.

"That's right. 'That day' is coming soon." Kasha suddenly said.

"Yes, we should be almost ready." Farah responded, tugging at his white beard.

"Is 'that' ready too?"

"Don't mention it. I feel like our Mage Guild has been unable to raise its head in Rogge's camp because of 'that' reason." Farah's old face suddenly dropped. If he hadn't taken his own image into consideration, he might have really cried.

There's no telling if it will come out.

"Don't say that. How can we do it without the Mage Guild? We are accomplices, and you should also think about the research funds for the Mage Guild, right?" Kasha said cheerfully in his signature tone.

Farah smiled over his shoulder with a helpless look on his face.

"We must let that boy Wu bleed for a good time. Hahaha..."

The two men let out terrifying laughter, and a sinister wind suddenly filled the area within ten miles...

"Qiang——"

I turned around sharply, and the big shield immediately blocked a sharp spear tip that suddenly appeared from the right side. I pushed hard and ejected the owner of the spear tip, a figure even thinner than the Sinking Demon.

Ratmen, a new type of monster that appeared on the first floor of the tomb, a short, agile and terrifyingly powerful monster. Some of these insidious and cunning little things hold pig-killing knives the same size as themselves, and some hold pig-killing knives.

They are armed with spears longer than themselves, and some are even proficient in a very special hidden weapon among the primitive forest tribes - blowing needles. If all the ordinary monsters in the entire Rogge camp are arranged, let the adventurers choose which one is the most powerful.

Terrifying, then the Rat Man is undoubtedly among the best. This kind of monster relies on extremely high speed and extremely powerful attacks that come like wind and lightning. Once an inexperienced adventurer is surrounded by it, it is very likely that he will be killed in a few breaths.

He would be hacked to death with random knives. Then before his companions could arrive for rescue, the group of rat men would disperse in a rush, leaving only a dead body, which was really frightening.

Fortunately, I have ghost wolves with a keen sense of smell and poisonous flowers that are not afraid of the dark. The attacks of these rat men are not of much use to me, and thanks to the unknown reason, they attack me every time.

There are only four or five ratmen at most.

Even so, these little things are enough to wake me up. Touching my numb arms from the shock, and the big shield that is still buzzing, I think in a cold sweat - it is really unimaginable.

, without changing shape, the strength of these rat men, who are less than my knee height, has a tendency to overwhelm me.

The last rat-man that was blown away by me rolled a few times in mid-air deftly, and was about to land steadily. Unexpectedly, there was already a ferocious mouth at its feet waiting for it. The poisonous flower vine

Opening the big mouth that was neatly arranged like jagged teeth, he made a "Gulu" sound, and before the rat man could react, he had swallowed it whole. The body that was as high as a python after eating was swollen.

It deflated rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the beginning, the shrill screams of the Rat Man as it was being dissolved could still be faintly heard from its mouth, but in a few seconds, the sound went from high to low, until it disappeared.

, just using your brain to imagine the expression of the prey struggling painfully in its stomach is enough to make people feel horrified and make them unable to eat.

With a "whoosh" sound, the appetizing poisonous flower vine spit out the half-corroded spear that had just attacked me from its mouth, announcing the end of this rat-man's tragic fate. It slapped it on the ground with satisfaction.

After a few circles, these rat men who are smaller than the fallen demon are really a perfect delicacy for it.

However, the next step is the key point. I used my fingers to crush a few fragile stubble on my chin, making a very mature (?) look of deep thought.

There is a straight passage ahead. There is a door on the left and right. It is also a crossroads. Which way should we go?

Ahhhh... Prison makes sense, why should even a good tomb be made like a maze? Is it to prevent the dead from pretending to be corpses and escape? Does the church also have this concern? There is no answer.

I immediately went crazy.

Lord, give me a sense of direction.

"You should go straight ahead."

The necklace on the chest suddenly made a sound.

"Why do you want to go straight? And the tone is so sure? Where did a ghost who has been squatting in a house for thousands of years get the inspiration?"

I have serious doubts about the suggestion of a ghost who has been isolated from the world for thousands of years. The most important thing is this unwillingness to "be compared"!!

So, I decisively chose the door on the left, and let my seventh sense, a man given by God, tell you how wrong the sense of direction of a small ghost who has been trapped for thousands of years is.

"Because you have already passed through these two doors..." Alice whispered into the necklace. Unfortunately, I was in a delusional state and did not hear it.

Five hours later, I returned to the same place again.

"..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it..." My whole body was burned out and I leaned against the wall palely and said.

"It's... it's really amazing. Xiaofan, look, you have successfully circled the entire tomb. This is something that other adventurers cannot do! Ten points! Ten points!!! It's a difficult thing.

…”

After a moment of silence, Alice spoke in a very exaggerated and cute tone.

"Forget it, your comforting me like this will only make me more sad..."

After getting along with each other for the past few days, I finally figured out the character of this ghost girl. What was very different from the disguised saintly and quiet appearance when I just met her was that the ghost girl in front of me showed willfulness towards me.

It was really unexpected and left me speechless.

If you want me to be more specific, it would be - a curious baby and a purdah lady who is smart and knowledgeable, but has no understanding of worldly affairs. She has a strong insight and sharp words that point to people's pain points and makes people unable to refute.

To describe it simply, the ghost girl in front of me has a very weird personality. She is a scary person who can say some weird words in a very quiet and holy manner. Her power is just like how she was able to survive in the spiral staircase a few days ago.

It was caressed like a kitten in my arms and purred slightly...

"Forget it, let's choose the door on the right this time. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's this way..." I clenched my fists hard.

"Wow!!!"

Seeing me turn to the right, Alice let out a short cry.

"What, is there something wrong?"

I swear, if she says something again that can make a wounded man hurt a second time, I will let her experience the thrill of the merry-go-round when it is turned to 100 rpm.

"No, nothing. I just think that Xiaofan will live a wonderful life in the future."

Alice, a perceptive little girl, must have sensed the murderous intent in the words, so she carefully said it in a way that could express her meaning while preventing me from grasping the painful foot.

"Let's go, the second floor of the tomb is calling us."

I deliberately ignored the profound meaning of Alice's words, raised my fist to cheer myself up, and then turned towards the door on the right.

"Humph——"

There was a slight chuckle in my arms. If I could see it, I would definitely find that in the dark space with nothing in the necklace, Alice was floating quietly in the void, with a holy light emitting from her body. Compared with

When I first saw her, she had become much darker, and her face seemed even weaker and paler, but there was still a sweet and satisfied smile on her lips.
