There was a 'click', and a dark passage was opening on the stone wall hanging the curtains behind them.
Fang Yu and Jita turned around and looked at the secret passage that suddenly appeared with some surprise. They were just observing the painting before and had no idea how to trigger the mechanism here.
If it is said that the action of lifting the curtain earlier caused the change, then the interval was too long.
Jita looked at Fang Plover. "Wait a minute." Fang Plover looked at this secret passage and did not rush forward in a hurry. It also appeared too coincidental, as if someone behind the scenes deliberately let them enter.
He raised his right hand slightly and raised his five fingers to summon the clockwork goblins and let them fly into it. At the same time, he sent a message to Alyssa, telling the three of them the location and the discovery.
After the message was sent, there was no sound at all. The etheric magic in the valley was so chaotic that Fang Plover didn't know if his communication crystal was functioning normally. The Clockwork Fairy's detection was also poor. There was no light source in the twists and turns of the secret passage, and the clockwork
The goblin itself does not emit light and crashes into chaos after flying out of the light range of the crystal lamp.
He temporarily added a hook to it and reduced unnecessary weight, so that one of the clockwork fairies could move forward with a crystal lamp hanging on it. In this way, it flew forward for twenty or thirty meters, and there were only one level after another in the secret passage.
The stairs extended downward, and the scenery was the same. A little further away, the crystal lamp was away from the maximum range of the magic furnace, and the light flickered and then went out.
Fang Plover had no choice but to take them back.
He took out his pocket watch from his pocket and checked the time, and felt that staying here was not an option. The secret passage would not disappear here anyway, so to be cautious, he decided to take Jita to find other people to meet with him first.
But before he left, he had other things to do. Fang Pliance ordered the capable angel to loosen the old revitalized armor on the ground, and he fiddled with it for a while, intending to reverse engineer the blueprint of this thing.
Although the revitalized armor was dull, the design was retained by several major alchemy families, and even the Corin-Ithurian Artisans Association did not record it. Now that he had encountered it, he would definitely give it a try.
This thing really lives up to its reputation of being in disrepair. It is missing too many arms and legs. The rust even connects the pieces of gears together. It is a miracle that it can move. Fang Plover has mastered multiple parallel techniques, and his efficiency is far better than ordinary.
The Alchemist, but even after carefully maintaining its structural value and losing all its value, the first disassembly only achieved 17% of the drawing progress.
After the first disassembly, the remaining structural value was basically only a fraction, and it was almost impossible to reinstall it. Fang Yu had no choice but to try destructive analysis. Only after the second time did he finally get 30% of the value.
drawing progress, and a temporary design drawing.
This design drawing allows him to make three activated armors, and the remaining progress in reading the drawing will be turned into a knowledge reserve that will come into play the next time he surveys and maps a similar structure.
Jita witnessed from the sidelines the entire process of Fang Plover dismantling the activated armor into parts at a dazzling speed. She also watched him turn the surveying and mapping progress into a light map and integrate it into the system.
Although this is not the first time she has watched the captain complete this work, she is still amazed every time. It seems that this time, the captain is much more skilled than before. She simply doesn’t know where his upper limit is? Compared with those in Tapolis
Compared with the Craftsman Selector, the latter cannot be compared with it.
To say it was the light of grains of rice and the brightness of the bright moon might be a bit too much. But she did not forget that the captain was only level 14 and his future was limitless.
Fang Yu finished his work, put away the craftsman system, and then exhaled and stood up. He kicked the empty breastplate of the activated armor, causing it to make an "empty" sound and roll to the wall.
It’s no wonder that the original level 18 activated armor dropped to only level 13. This thing is too shabby. How long has it been here? He couldn’t help but have questions in his mind: Elmau Castle has been around for a century.
, I don’t know how many adventurers have been here. It is really a miracle that this piece of junk has not been dismantled by other adventurers before him.
Fang Plover raised his head again and looked around. This place didn't seem to be secretive. On the second floor, directly opposite the north corridor was the wall with windows. Anyone who saw such a strange place would come in to investigate.
Ichiban?
It's a pity that Luo Yu is not here, otherwise the magician could use detection spells to check whether there are magic spells such as illusions maintained here.
He opened his communication crystal, but it was empty, with no information. It seemed that the communication had indeed been interfered with. Fang Pliance then planned to take Jita to leave this place and meet with Alyssa and her group. But at this time, he
He stopped, looked at a place and said softly "Eh".
Following this sigh, Jita naturally saw the breastplate that had been kicked over before, hitting the lower left corner of the picture frame, and unexpectedly knocked something out from there. It was a silver bracelet, small and exquisite.
It was originally buried under the dust, but now it is revealed.
She was stunned for a moment, glanced at the captain, then walked over to pick it up, compared it, and handed it to the latter. She found that the bracelet fit just right if she was wearing it, but it was a little too small for the captain to wear it.
Its size seems to be an accessory for children.
The bracelet itself has no attributes and is not a magic accessory.
The name Fang Yu saw in the system was 'Chain of Blessings of Life'. Although time had left traces on it, when he gently touched it with his hand, he could still feel the faint sacred aura in the silver brilliance.
Because of Fenris and his party, he is familiar with Mirela's divine power. The sacred aura on this chain should also come from this goddess of life, and it has at least been blessed by its priests or baptized with holy water.
Seeing this bracelet, he suddenly remembered a rumor. "Miss Tata, is this that thing?" Miss Fairy's emerald eyes were as flat as a mirror. She could feel her knight's thoughts and nodded lightly.
In Aitaria, the infant mortality rate is still quite high, so the nobles will seek some holy objects blessed by the goddess of life to pray for their offspring to grow up safely. The goddess of life Mirela is responsible for fertility, which itself is also
One of her vocations.
The bracelet in his hand should be such a sacred object. If it is worn on a baby or child, the divine power of the goddess of life will naturally protect it from growing up.
Fang Plover took the bracelet and took another look at the painting. "Let's go." He then said to Jita. This should be the last discovery in this room, although there were some coincidences in its appearance.
However, he had a feeling in his heart that this bracelet did not appear by chance. It was well preserved and obviously incompatible with other things around it, and the sacred aura of the goddess of life on it had not dissipated for hundreds of years.
It's as if there is an obsession lingering on it, just like the holy objects in Dolifen's fantasy, which last forever.
It seems to be just like this room.
There was a faint force that led them to this place
The two pushed the door open and found that the room outside was like weathered gravel. The previous illusion had long since disappeared. The orderly room was reduced to ruins. How could there be any scene like the guest room before?
"Ah?" When Jita saw this scene, she couldn't help but let out a low cry.
But it was this exclamation that seemed to disturb something in front of him. Fang Yu suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing behind the window in front of him. This time he saw it clearly, and it was definitely not an illusion.
Having lost the opponent several times in a row before, how could Fang Plover let go of this opportunity? He immediately released the Clockwork Fairy, while protecting Jita behind him, and chased after him in one stride.
The capable angel arrived first and flashed on the other side of the wall almost at the same time as him.
As soon as Fang Plover climbed over the window, a black shadow rushed towards him from the front. Seeing this, Jita raised the crystal lamp, and the soft light shone so that he could see clearly. There was a half-body zombie in the darkness. Zhang
Opening his mouth wide, a mouth full of sharp teeth and a long tongue rolled towards him.
Starving ghost
This thing suddenly appeared in the darkness, which made Fang Plover's scalp numb. However, he reacted quickly and swung his left hand diagonally. On one side, the angel raised his knife and dropped it, and a ray of silver light cut diagonally downwards along the zombie Tianling Cap.
.
Fang Plover stepped aside again and passed by the zombie whose head fell to the ground. However, his dodge was too low. When the zombie passed him, its dodge value was reset to zero, and its long claws still pulled out a line on his chest.
The blood immediately stained the coat red.
Jita's exclamation came from behind.
At the same time, the system also sent prompts for kills and experience. But Fang Plover had no time to see it. Things like 'starving ghosts' would not appear alone. There must be another type of undead vampire behind it.
But his awareness was too low, and vampires are masters of concealment. Fang Plover covered his chest and was wary of his surroundings. For a moment, he couldn't feel the existence of anything in the dark and narrow environment.
Fortunately, his vigilance was not useless. At the critical moment, Fang Plover suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind his head. "Be careful, behind!" Ji Ta also shouted angrily, the little girl's voice was full of worry.
It's tension and worry.
Without even thinking about it, Fang Yu raised his right hand to block the situation and turned around at the same time.
It's just that he blocked an empty space.
The attacker cunningly changed its direction. Its attack in the darkness was almost like a surprise attack. It was destined to severely damage Fang Plover. But at this moment, Fang Plover's dark ritual took effect.
Predicting the danger, he automatically controlled Fang Plover's body, causing him to pounce forward unexpectedly. The vampire turned into a huge bat and flew over him. It flapped its wings and turned into thick smoke, falling to the ground, and then transformed into a human again.
.
Fang Yu quickly got up from the ground, and then he saw the other person's appearance clearly. He was a thin human being with a gray face, wearing a tattered black robe, looking like a shady dark wizard.
Fang Yu saw the opponent's level in the system: high-level servant, lv22.
Its face was bloodless, it missed a hit, and let out a low roar. At the same time, its figure flashed to one side, and disappeared from Fang Plover's sight. The level was too high! Fang Plover secretly screamed something bad, and at the same time released
The second powerful angel protects his back.
Then he heard a stammering spell coming from behind: "Vine!"
That was Kitta's voice.
Thorns spread and grow in the stone corridor.
At the same time, there was a loud bang, and a thorny vine as thick as a bucket rushed through the wall, carrying scattered stone bricks, and rolled towards a steering wheel behind Fang Plover.
Fang Yu knew in his heart that Jita could see places that he couldn't see from behind. He didn't even think about it and moved based on instinct. He didn't even need to turn around. He placed the metal glove of his right hand flat and swept it lightly with his five fingers.
I saw the capable angel shooting there with an arrow and stabbing the thing in the vines with his sword.
There, the black shadow wrapped in vines was letting out a scream, and Fang Plover also felt that his angel had stabbed something. But the black shadow suddenly repeated its trick, and once again dispersed and turned into a cloud of smoke.
Countless bats flew out, chirping, as if trying to escape from all directions.
"Jita, stop him!" Fang Piao shouted.
"Anstali Glacier!"
Jita gently closed her eyelids, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She placed her hands on the silver pages of the magic book and recited the spell in a slightly trembling tone.
There was a loud "crack" sound.
The corridor was immediately filled with cold air, and curling ice walls rose from all sides, completely sealing the narrow space.
The only exit at this moment was in the direction where Jita was. And after a group of blood-red bats flew around and hit the wall, they turned to that direction.
Fang Plover immediately threw a TS-1 lurker that could generate a gravity trap in the direction of the window.
But at this moment, the corridor where the three of them were sitting suddenly sank, and suddenly sank. "Oops!" Fang Pultru said secretly. He knew in his heart that it was Jita's previous vine spell that destroyed this year.
The corridor has been in disrepair for a long time and has a very fragile structure.
As expected, the ground cracked downwards. Fang Plover raised his hand and shot out his flying claws, grabbing onto a protrusion above to prevent himself from falling.
But he heard an exclamation from ahead.
"Mr. Knight, this is Kita."
Fang Yu heard Miss Tata's prompt and looked up, only to find that his TS-1 lurker had also rolled down along with the cracked floor and was unable to work. And the smoke was rolling toward Ji Ta.
passed.
The latter had already turned pale with fright and had forgotten what spells she had. Besides, even if she had any spells, she was only a sixth-level naturalist.
As soon as the smoke fell to the ground, it turned into hands and grabbed Miss Naturalist. The vampire seemed to be seriously injured and did not dare to stay. He grabbed the dumbfounded Jita and disappeared at the other end of the corridor.
That direction is exactly the room before.
Fang Yu was so anxious that he didn't bother to see where his TS-1 lurker fell. He knew that vampires can recover by sucking human blood. If the opponent is given enough time, Jita will most likely be in trouble.
He hurriedly swung forward with all his strength and landed firmly on the platform formed by the break in the corridor in that direction. Without even having time to check the injury on his chest, he gritted his teeth and chased in that direction.
He didn't expect that he would be back in this place in just a few minutes. But when he opened the door and entered, the room was empty. He took out a lighting crystal and lit it up. Where could there be any Jita or vampires around?
The painting was still placed in that place, and the girl in the painting looked at him quietly.
Fang Yu accidentally glanced at the girl and discovered that she was wearing a strange ring on the ring finger of her right hand. There was a wolf head on the ring, which seemed vaguely familiar to him.
But this thought only passed by in a flash. He didn't have the mind to think about it now. He just glanced at it and saw that the only exit in the room was the secret passage. He understood that the vampire should have escaped in with Jita.
He didn't care about anything at the moment, he just hung the lighting crystal on his chest with his backhand, then pulled out the silver blunderbuss Scarpe gave him and Sylvester, and walked in carefully.
Two powerful angels guarded him, one behind the other.
The secret passage was not much different from what he had seen in the Clockwork Fairy's vision before. It was narrow and winding, and the scenery was the same as in the previous chapter, all the way down. This kind of place is the easiest to set up traps and traps, but Fang Yu was worried about Ji at the moment.
I don’t care that much about the safety of the tower.
Fortunately, it seems that because it has been too long ago, the trap has long been ineffective. Or maybe the original owner never set any traps here, and he did not encounter any trouble along the way.
He walked more and more hastily, and he didn't know how long he walked. There was still no trace of the vampire and Jita in front of him. But suddenly, his line of sight suddenly widened. In the shining light of the crystal lamp, Fang Plover realized that he had entered
In an underground hall.
In the darkness, the hall didn't know how wide it was. But at least it was no smaller than the front hall he and Kita had seen when they entered the castle.
The silence around him made Fang Yu feel a little strange, so he slowed down a little. The hall was very empty, with only the rustle of his footsteps echoing. Fang Yu looked around, then took off the crystal from his chest and raised it high.
The range of the light was slightly expanded, allowing the halo to extend in a circle, but it only just illuminated the center of the hall.
Only then did Fang Plover notice that there seemed to be a flash of light on the ground in that place.
He walked over and took a look, only to find a silver emblem in the shape of a bat lying on the ground in the dust. Fang Yu couldn't help but was stunned. This was the emblem of the attendant. The vampire would leave this emblem after death, but he didn't know what it was.
Which level?
He was secretly puzzled, and carefully looked around behind him before picking up the emblem. The emblem was still warm when he got it. Vampires naturally have no body temperature, but this was a reaction that the magic power had not dissipated.
It shows that this emblem was left just now.
The system also gave a hint: high-level attendant emblem.
Fang Yu felt a shiver in his heart. Unless there were other high-level servants in this place, then this emblem was probably left by the previous vampire. But how could it die in this place?
Did this unlucky guy succumb to his injuries before he had time to suck Jita's blood?
But the problem is
Where's Kitta?
Fang Yu stood up full of doubts and looked around. The hall was completely silent. If Jita was still here, she would have seen him holding a light source in his hand.
