"This is the last 10% of the exploration progress in the main mission!" Xu Feng looked at the passage emitting soft firelight with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Li Bing, Wang Hu, and Zhao Xin's eyes widened. For more than a year, the three of them had been hunting kobold supervisors on the second floor of the mine, but they never knew that there was such a dark room on the second floor.
.
Moreover, their original main mission only needed to go around the mines on the first and second floors, and it was easily completed. From the exploration mission, it was not obvious that there was a darkroom on the second floor, but now...
"What, what is going on?" Li Bing asked in a low voice, looking at the other two companions with eyes full of confusion and confusion.
"There is a dark room here, how come we have never discovered it before!" Wang Hu looked surprised, and even stuck his head to look towards the passage, wanting to see what was going on at the other end of the passage.
"Would you like to go in and take a look together?" Xu Feng turned to the three of them and asked with a smile.
"No, no need, we can just wait for you outside." Zhao Xin quickly waved his hand.
Xu Feng's face darkened: "You'd better be wiser, I'm not asking for your opinion!"
Zhao Xin and the other three looked at each other, their faces immediately filled with bitterness, and they walked towards the passage as if appointed.
Fortunately, Xu Feng did not push too hard and let the Taoist soldiers walk in the front, followed by Zhao Xin and the others.
The passage was narrow, and there were traces of manual excavation everywhere. As Xu Feng entered the passage, the originally stagnant exploration progress began to beat.
The passage was not long, only about ten meters long. After passing through the passage, everyone came to a cave with an area of more than 100 square meters.
It is said to be a cave, but in Xu Feng's eyes, it looks like a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The floor is paved with floor tiles, and the surrounding rock walls are covered with wallpaper. There is no shortage of living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and study room.
An old man with gray hair was sitting in front of a burning fireplace with his eyes closed and resting. There was a blanket on his knees and an open book on top.
When the old man heard a noise coming from the passage, he immediately woke up, picked up the reading glasses on the small table beside him, and looked towards the passage while wearing them.
Seeing Xu Feng and the others, the old man had a look of panic on his face. He wanted to stand up, but the blanket on his legs tripped him, staggered, and the book on the blanket bounced into the fireplace.
Quickly, the flames licked the book and burned the entire book to ashes.
The old man stared at the fireplace blankly, with a look of loss on his face. He sighed and slowly sat down again.
After the brief panic before, the old man returned to his previous gentleman appearance and asked Xu Feng: "Are you entrusted by the kobold to kill me?"
"On the contrary, we found this place only after we killed the kobold supervisor." Xu Feng took the signet ring dropped by the kobold supervisor, the blood-stained letter, and the "bloody handkerchief" found under the mine car.
The three mission items were displayed towards the old man.
"So, you are here to save me?" A look of surprise appeared in the old man's eyes. He couldn't help but stand up and looked towards Xu Feng, his eyes full of expectation.
"If you are the steward of the Luo Meng family, then I think we are here to save you." Xu Feng said with a smile.
The hidden mission requires Xu Feng to find the butler of the Luo Meng family on the second floor of the mine. Obviously, on the entire second floor, the old man in front of him seems to fit the role of "steward", and Xu Feng's exploration progress in the main mission has been
Reaching 96%, it is estimated that by going through several other houses in the entire darkroom, the exploration mission will be completed, and there will not be another similar darkroom on the second floor.
"Yes, I am the steward of the Romon family. You can call me Etta, Etta Romon!" The old man had a look of joy on his face.
Xu Feng nodded. The old man in front of him could actually bear the surname of the Luo Meng family. Obviously, his relationship with the Luo Meng family was not an ordinary relationship between a housekeeper and his employer. He could already be regarded as half the master of the Luo Meng family.
.
Seeing that the other party admitted his identity, Xu Feng handed all three mission items to the housekeeper.
Etta first saw the bloody handkerchief, with a sad look on her face.
Then he saw the seal ring, and his expression suddenly changed. This kind of ring, which only the clan leader was qualified to own, appeared in the hands of an outsider. The meaning of it was naturally self-evident.
After Etta read the contents of the blood-stained letter, she suddenly became furious.
"This is a conspiracy, a shameful conspiracy!" Etta shouted, her face full of grief and anger, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, as if she was trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
After a long time, Etta sat back on the armchair weakly, with a look of despair on her face.
"It's all over. The Romon family has been defeated by the conspiracy, and its decline is inevitable..." Etta said to herself, the wrinkles on her face seemed to have become deeper, and there was a hint of death in her eyes.
"Sir, thank you for letting me understand the truth, but unfortunately, it would have been better if you could have let me know a year earlier. Now, everything is too late..." Etta struggled to stand up, her already aging body
, seems to have become more sluggish.
With that said, Etta took out a roll of parchment from her arms and handed it to Xu Feng: "I have been keeping this item for my family, but now it seems that it has lost its meaning to keep it. Thank you for letting me
By understanding the original truth, I will be able to explain everything to Lord Romon after I die."
Stuffing the parchment into Xu Feng's arms, Etta walked tremblingly out of the passage.
Xu Feng could already feel that the old man in front of him was already willing to die. He opened his mouth to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say. He could only helplessly shake his head and watch Etta leave.
Etta's figure slowly disappeared after leaving the passage and entering the second floor of the mine. The apostle mark on Xu Feng's chest also felt hot.
Focusing on the apostle's mark, a translucent screen suddenly appeared in front of Xu Feng's eyes, marking that the hidden mission had been completed.
[The hidden mission "The Truth about the Decline of the Romon Family" has been completed, and the mission reward: the core of the secret realm has been distributed. After passing the level, the evaluation will be improved. 】
"Wha, what? The core of the secret realm?" Xu Feng's eyes suddenly widened, and the parchment in his hand seemed a little hot to the touch.
Although this secret realm of the mine is only level zero, it has been open for more than a year, but there is no news that anyone has obtained the core of the secret realm, and there is no prompt when entering the secret realm. Obviously, no one has obtained the core of the secret realm until now.
The core of the secret realm.
"I didn't expect that I got it by myself. Although it's just a zero-level secret realm, the mineral resources here are extremely rich. It's a pity. If I were a blacksmith, I could make full use of this resource secret realm. Even if I get it now
If it's gone, it can only be used to sell the mines!" Xu Feng thought to himself.
Xu Feng stood there quietly for a few minutes. After calming down his excitement, he turned around and smiled at Zhao Xin and the others: "Okay, the hidden mission is completed. Let me explore this place and then hunt some kobolds."
The miner obtains a candle and then digs a piece of high-quality ore to clear the level! When I clear the level, you will be free."
