Chapter 103 Precarious

Chapter 103 Shaky

Walking in this empty and dark underground corridor, looking at the familiar room layout and house numbers beside him, Xiuge had a subtle illusion.

It is as if the ground has become a huge mirror, and the buildings above the ground are reflected in the mirror, forming a void world that is difficult to peek into and filled with a strong sense of mystery.

Those heavy metal doors were locked. Xiuge tried and found that his strength was not enough to push them open.

After a short discussion, Weilin used the "Delete Door Lock" on the door of Room 203.

Wei Lin can completely cast this raindrop-level simple magic directly without skipping the magic book and magic inscription, and the effect it brings is more accurate and gentle, and is comparable to the violent "destructive style" used by Shuge.

There is a distinct difference in lockpicking magic.

After a dull metal sound, the heavy door lock that blocked Room 203 underground was successfully unlocked under the influence of magic. Then Weilin took a step back, and a simple lighting trick took effect from her fingertips, and a soft and bright light came from a small

The ball of light spilled out.

Xiuge stood at the door of Room 203 with a revolver in hand. He looked at the metal door with a small gap opened, and inexplicably felt an absurd sense of déjà vu.

"Mr. Sugar?"

Wei Lin didn't quite understand why Xiuge was temporarily stunned at this time.

"Sorry, I just suddenly remembered something..."

"Huh?"

After a brief shock, Weilin closed the curtains again, blocking out the light outside the window again.

The old man's voice came from the front, so Yerevan quickly ended his reverie. He moved forward respectfully as before, and gently placed his palms on the armrests behind the wheelchair.

"Father, the meeting will begin soon."

He has short, slightly curly hair, a stern face, and slightly opened eyes...

This is a carved male body, wearing a very ancient aristocratic dress, with his hands crossed in front of his abdomen, and several different rings on his fingers.

The metal disc that was originally rotating at a constant speed suddenly accelerated at full speed. This caused waves of waves to set off in Shuge's vast spiritual ocean, constantly washing away his nerves.

A portrait that hangs both in the gallery of Ernst Manor House and in the armory hall.

Xiuge was surprised to find that the human figure lying on the bed was not a simple, rough humanoid stone sculpture.

As at any time in the past, Yerevan Ernst maintains a very outstanding aristocratic demeanor. He looks particularly excited today, although in the past, he has taken over the decision-making of important affairs in many areas of the Ernst family.

power, but the discussion about whether Yerevan Ernst is the next family heir has never stopped.

When people stand under the mountain, they are destined to be small and humble.

The eyes of Xiuge and Weilin were immediately attracted by something lying on the bed. It was a dark figure. Even under the light of the light ball on the roof, the figure was still pitch black.

“Yerevan…Yerevan!”

After hearing Wei Lin's words, Xiuge's heart moved slightly. He tried to mobilize his special magic power from the unknown dark green crystal. The metal disc immediately began to accelerate, and his magic perception was also strengthened to a considerable extent.



Xiuge cursed silently in his heart.

However, now, Xiuge saw him again in such a gloomy and strange environment.

Wei Lin ended her inspection of the stone humanoid: "Be careful, don't touch it casually."

Starting from General Ludwig, the Ernst family truly entered the military field of the Kingdom of Votel.

It wasn't until this moment that both of them realized that what they thought was a black wall was actually a huge black velvet curtain. If it hadn't been for the mage's inspection, they probably wouldn't have discovered that there was a layer of obstruction in front of them.

.

Then, a scene beyond their expectations appeared.

A well-dressed middle-aged man walked into the lounge.

"I can only feel the same secret ritual fluctuations as in the room above. Other than that, there are no other special traces. However, it may be some ancient ritual that is beyond the scope of conventional magic, or it may be some kind of secret ritual mastered by the Black Sun Society.

Occult magic.”

At this moment, Xiuge heard Wei Lin suddenly make a slight noise on the other side, so he turned around and saw Wei Lin suddenly controlling the mage's hand to float to the side of the wall. The mage's hand gently

After groping twice in the darkness, something was lifted from the dark wall.

It looked like he was about to speak.

Xiuge "gazed" at the exquisite figure wrapped in pitch black. After witnessing the black rats and making some guesses about the underground space, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Xiuge smiled sarcastically. He resisted the urge to kick the door open and shout into the room. Instead, he followed the experience in his mind and performed a "grease spill" trick in the direction of the metal door's axis.

, then he called out his dark green mage hand and pushed the heavy metal door forward.

This body is so old that it must rely on various magic secrets to control the many diseases and defects in the body. Yerevan knows that as long as he has the courage to pinch that thin neck, and

Or simply terminate the secret ritual on the wheelchair, and the old man in the wheelchair will immediately turn into a corpse.

It is said that a broken magic crystal penetrated General Ludwig's chest accurately like a short spear thrown by giants.

Although she was underground at the moment, Weilin still very carefully extinguished the light source in the room. After the room returned to darkness, she slowly opened the black curtains.

But today is different. Yerevan Ernst knows very well what the Leiland District Nobles' Meeting actually represents. His father's willingness to allow him to formally attend this important meeting is equivalent to the recognition of all important Walter nobles.

He announced his decision in front of him.

The sense of oppression brought by the "Three-clawed Falcon" is not only at the military level of the Kingdom of Votel. The existence of Zeke Ernst is a mountain for any member of the Ernst family.

Soon, he successfully found the correspondence.

While Weilin turned her head to observe other places, Shuge's eyes gradually filled with the mist of the messenger in the mirror, and the dark stone human figure began to become clear in Shuge's field of vision.

The contours, lines and details hidden in the dark colors are also revealed.

"Miss Wei Lin, can you tell what this is?"

"Can an underground space of this size really be able to support it? These people have never thought about what to do if there is an earthquake? Oh... they have magic, so it will be fine."

It was almost like a medal given to him by the war itself.

In fact, it's very refined and full of details.

It is said that until the general's body was buried, the shining crystal was still embedded in his chest.

He stood up and was about to tell Wei Lin about his discovery of the stone statue on the bed, when he suddenly received a warning from the spiritual world.

Even if he now has the full support of the Black Sun Society, he would not dare to do this.

But he didn't dare.

That is a painting.

Shuge suddenly realized that he seemed to have seen such a face somewhere, so he quickly rummaged through his own and Shuge Ernst's memories.

Whenever he needed to make a major decision, he would meditate under the portrait of General Ludwig, as if he could draw enough wisdom and courage from it.

When this meeting ends, the identity of the Ernst family's heir will be completely confirmed...

Whenever he stood behind his father, he couldn't help but look at his father's neck.

Xiuge carefully observed the house. After confirming that there were no magic traps or alarms of any kind in the room, he stepped into it first and slowly came to the bedside. Only then did he see that there was no magic trap or alarm in the room.

What is on the bed is not a person or entity, but a human figure carved from some kind of dark stone. Those stones seem to be very special. When the light shines on it, it will be completely absorbed, so it makes

The entire humanoid stone statue is like a pitch-black void appearing out of thin air.

So Shuge quickly cast his eyes on the black figure on the bed. In the magical vision provided by the messenger in the mirror, he was surprised to find that the stone statue belonging to Walter General Ludwig Ernst was actually

I don't know when I opened my mouth slightly.

He was supposed to be an important heir to the Ernst family.

That's the curtain.

This seems to be a hotel room with a normal layout, desk and chairs, wardrobe, magic lamp fixed on the wall...

To this day, there are still war monuments to this general in many border cities of the Kingdom of Votel.

Wei Lin came up and curiously looked at this strange stone that she had never seen before: "But I can't feel the magic flow in it. Maybe it's because the magic power has been exhausted, or because of its essential nature."

It’s a man-made alchemical item.”

Zeke Ernst carefully studied the portrait in front of him, the wrinkles on his old face trembling slightly.

Xiuge first saw the faint light - it was a window, and the outside of the window was not a stone wall, but a real vast space. He carefully came to the window and peeked out, so he looked at the "floor"

"Xia" saw the lights. It was a large "square" of astonishing size. Most of the areas were shrouded in darkness, but there were lights beside the main roads. Through these lights, Xiuge could see scattered stars.

The silhouette of a person flashed by.

Wei Lin's mage hand floated over and gently touched the stone humanoid. However, it seemed to be a "dead object" and did not respond in any way to the outside world's touch.

Snitch, the running rat who was waiting in the corridor, didn't notice anything. Obviously, the danger didn't come from its direction.

Of course there is also a full-size bed.

"What do you mean...are these underground floors also a special cemetery for the Ernst family? Is this a special monument to commemorate important members of the family?"

Wei Lin shook her finger and controlled the light ball to move slowly forward, and then floated to the height of the room, completely illuminating the entire room like a real lamp.

Xiuge originally thought that the underground floor he found was essentially an extension of the mansion on the ground. Unexpectedly, he underestimated the mobility and imagination of the Black Sun Society... They actually re-created the entire underground floor. The Manor Hotel has even dug out such a large space, but I don’t know what the specific purpose is.

There were many outstanding figures in the Ernst family in the past, and Ludwig was just one of them.

"Although there is no light or trace of normal life at all, everything here is very clean... There is not even dust on the ground. Was it cleaned by the waiters wearing black masks?"

General Ludwig was the person Zeke Ernst admired the most. His biography, his thoughts and predictions on the military and political situation, and his prospects for the development of the future military model were all written by Zeke Ernst. The most familiar content.

Today is very important for the nobles of Leyland District. In today's meeting of nobles, these elites who once were able to influence the development of the Kingdom of Walter will face a series of issues that have to be discussed - facing the upcoming war and With the rapid expansion and expansion of royal power, what kind of decision should this ancient alliance of interests make?

A dark room suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

Even if it is a crumbling mountain.

This discovery is truly astonishing.

If Schuge remembers correctly, this face should belong to a famous member of the Ernst family, that is, General Votel - Ludwig, who once shined in that massive war two hundred years ago. ·Ernst.

In front of General Ludwig's portrait, Zeke Ernst took off his black top hat, revealing a head of silver hair that was already very thin.

"Some kind of crystal... seems to be somewhat similar to the magic crystals we commonly use."

But at the end of the war two hundred years ago, this general with outstanding military acumen who had comprehensively reformed Votel's army was accidentally involved in a routine inspection of the artillery position due to a serious malfunction of a crystallized cannon. killed in the explosion.

"Are you having a hard time these days?"

The old man smiled gently: "My student has been very active recently. He must have caused you a lot of trouble?"

"They are all matters that I should deal with. It is not hard work...but yesterday, the Fifth Chasseur Regiment did arouse the dissatisfaction of many people. They thought it was a violation of the status and rights of the nobility."

"Well... that's their opinion. I'd like to hear your point of view."
