From the depths of the tomb, a figure staggered out.
After entering the candlelight range, the figure seemed a little uncomfortable with the light. He raised his right hand and blocked it in front of his eyes. "
Like the tomb attendants, he wore a blue jacket and yellow trousers, but his face was deeply wrinkled, with light brown patches everywhere, his white hair was sparse and dry, and his eyes were rare and pure.
Black and cold.
For some reason, Lumian always felt that the figure of this old tomb keeper was blurry, and his edges seemed to blend into the surrounding darkness, unable to be illuminated by the light of white candles, and his breathing was so weak that it seemed like there was no sound at all.
Like a corpse that still retains the ability to speak, he hoarsely said without emotion:
"leave here!"
"Since it is open to visitors, there should be no inaccessible areas!" Lumian imitated the tone of some college students in Memorial Hall, trying to persuade them with "reasons".
The old tomb keeper repeated what he just said:
"leave here!"
Lumian turned his head and looked at "Hela" beside him, trying to see if she could convince the tombkeeper.
If that doesn't work, then take action directly, control the opponent, or even knock him out!
"Hum Ha Technique" is very suitable for this kind of thing.
"Hela" shook her head slowly, turned and walked outside the tomb.
...
Underground near the Opera Arcade.
Franka looked at the client and asked tentatively:
"What deal?"
The man dressed as a wizard replied sharply:
"I will increase the reward to 50,000 ferkin. You go to the deep valley quarry to make a big noise and expose the secret cave.
"If you are willing, you can sign the contract now. I have a way to ensure that the contract is binding on both parties."
50,000 Filkin to create an explosion that can collapse the stone wall at the entrance to a secret cave? It sounds very simple... Why should we be asked to do such a simple thing and be paid 50,000 Filkin? The more Franka thought about it,
The more wrong it becomes.
She tilted her head slightly, took out a fist-sized gray-white cloth bag, threw it into the shadow next to her, and pretended to be on guard against the man across from her, making it inconvenient to rummage through the items, and said:
"Help me find the seal."
Seal? Jenna emerged from the shadows and caught the small money bag that made a sound of metal collision. "
She was very confused by Franka's words:
Isn't it filled with coins and the "Ring of Punishment"?
Franka smiled at the client:
"What are the specific terms of the contract?"
She felt that the other party would tamper with the contract and use extraordinary abilities in the corresponding field, and she planned to take action directly before signing the contract!
Catch him and ask questions before he considers whether to sign a contract!
Lumian followed "Hela" out of the tomb in confusion and asked:
"What should we do now?"
"Grab my right arm." "Hela"'s voice was colder than before, without any warmth.
Lumian probably understood her thoughts, and followed her instructions, reaching out and grabbing her right arm.
Immediately afterwards, "Hela" used her left palm to turn the black diamond ring on the middle finger of her right hand.
Almost at the same time, Lumian felt that he had experienced a certain degree of alienation, and was no longer in the same world as the environment at the entrance to the tomb.
He quickly looked around and found that everything, including the dim candlelight, had become blurry, as if covered with a thick fog.
In this fog, "Hela" took him step by step and re-entered the tomb.
There was no movement in the depths of the tomb, and the two of them moved forward slowly in deathly silence.
Not long after, Lumian saw a rotting coffin standing vertically on the ground when the visibility was no more than five meters.
The old tomb keeper just now was standing in the coffin, his eyes open, without any light, and his body motionless.
This time, Lumian couldn't hear his breathing at all.
In a state of mist, the elderly tomb administrator ignored Lumian and "Hela" and "helplessly" watched them cross him and head to the end of the tomb chamber.
There is a gentle slope going down, leading to nowhere.
"Hela" signaled Lumian to let go of his hand, and the two of them became mist-like, and the strange state of concealment disappeared.
Lumian stood at the top of the slope, and with the help of the candle in his hand, he saw many skeletons scattered on the slope, none of them complete.
At this moment, he felt that the coldness bursting from the depths of his heart occupied his whole body, making his emotions and desires in a state of withering. But the magic was that the irritability that could not get rid of the restraints and the malice of wanting to break other people's necks still existed.
, and became more and more intense, which made Lumian look at another self, a crazy and unfamiliar self, in an unusually calm state.
He couldn't help but turn his head and looked at "Hela" again.
The lady drank a pot of strong liquor in one go, but there was still no blood on her face, and several purple-red patches were highlighted on her exposed skin, making her seem to have been dead for a while.
"Are you okay?" Lumian remembered that his main role was to remind "Hela" at all times to prevent her from being eroded by the pollution in the catacombs and causing mutations.
"Hela" put down the empty wine bottle and said in a voice without any breath of life:
"It's okay for now.
"I have made certain preparations for the situation here. As long as I don't stay too long, there will be no problem."
"Exactly how long can we stay?" Lumian asked.
"About half an hour." "Hela" began to go down the slope.
Lumian planned to grab "Hela"'s arm a few minutes in advance, regardless of whether he would gain anything or not, and use "Spirit World Travel" to forcefully take her away from here.
On the surface of the black slope, the further down you go, the more skeletons you see. They gradually become complete, retaining their original forms, some like humans and some like monsters.
The skeleton that "Hela" had awakened before also knelt on one knee and stopped on this slope. I don't know what stopped it from moving forward.
After walking for some distance, Lumian saw layers of thin gray-white fog in front of him.
They shrink slightly and sometimes expand, as if they have a life of their own.
"Hela" slowed down and looked at the thin gray mist, more cautious and dignified than ever before.
"Is there a problem with that?" Lumian looked more and more familiar with the gray mist.
"Hela" nodded and said:
"It is very dangerous. I have made corresponding preparations, but I am not sure whether it will work."
While listening to Ms. "Hela"'s answer, Lumian continued to look at the gray mist.
Suddenly, he understood why he felt familiar.
Isn't that the gray-white fog shrouding the ruins of Kordu Village?
Isn't that the gray mist that provided protection when he prayed for blessings?
At this moment, Lumian understood the real reason why Ms. "Justice" must let him follow Ms. "Hela" to find the "Fountain of the Samaritan Woman".
He tentatively took a few steps forward and stretched out his right palm toward the gray mist.
As soon as the two came into contact, Lumian felt a heat in his left chest."
He knew that Mr. Fool's seal had been activated.
And his right palm penetrated into the gray-white mist without any danger or any changes.
Lumian suddenly became determined and said secretly:
"Praise the fool!"
After saying a brief prayer, he turned to "Hela" and smiled:
“I also prepared accordingly, and it seems to be working.
"Let me grab your arm."
"Hela" didn't ask Lumian what preparations he had made or what information he still had. He just let him grab her left arm and slowly walked into the gray mist with him.
Everything around them became quieter, and there seemed to be an invisible aura surging strangely. Not long after, the two of them heard an illusory, slight clattering sound at the same time.
The sound of water... Lumian felt happy and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He and "Hela" were not in the wrong place!
There is a high probability that there is the "Fountain of the Samaritan Woman" below!
The two took a few more steps forward, and the gray-white mist quickly faded, revealing a spring the size of a pond.
The spring is surrounded by dark things whose color cannot be described in words, and pale water flows in the middle.
In the water flow, there was a wet patch of black water-weed-like hair floating and sinking, and there were several vague figures trying to climb out at the bottom.
There was a woman lingering next to the spring. It was exactly what Lumian had seen before. She was wearing a white robe and looked like a high-ranking witch.
Her face was pale and transparent, her eyes were dull and cold, and white skeletons were scattered around her.
Wow!
The pale spring water suddenly shrank deep into the depths, leaving only a dark hole, as if even light could not exist.
There was another roar, and the spring water gushes out from the dark hole, filling the pond-sized spring again.
Compared with before, it is dimmer and not pale enough. It is both void and dark and seems to contain countless colors.
In an instant, the spring water merged with the surrounding gray-white mist, restoring the appearance of Lumian and "Hela" when they first saw it.
In this place, the memories of both of them began to become blurred, and they seemed to be dying little by little.
Lumian quickly reached into his pocket, intending to take out the metal vial he had prepared in advance and find a way to fill it with the pale spring water.
At this moment, he touched something with the texture of stone.
He never put anything like this in his pocket!
Lumian took out his right hand in shock and saw a flaky brown stone in the palm of his hand. There were many pits on the stone, and each pit was filled with dots of dark red patches.
Earthblood Ore!
This is the earth blood ore he lost before!
When did it come back? Why did it suddenly appear on me? This, this is part of the underground Trier! Lumian was shocked and his pupils dilated, and at the same time, he once again swallowed the pale spring water in the dark hole,
There was a crazy, terrifying smell full of blood and rust.
Its mere appearance made Lumian and "Hela" freeze at the same time, making it difficult to move.
Wandering next to the figure who was suspected to be a high-ranking witch around the spring, a skeleton raised its palm and touched its right eye.
At the same time, its white teeth opened and closed, and it laughed happily:
"I've got it all, why not give it a try?"
Immediately afterwards, the densely packed white skeletons around the spring opened their mouths at the same time and made the same sound:
