Hao Ren took a general look at the situation in the cave, and after confirming that it was solid ground and not too deep, he jumped in. As a result, within a few seconds after he got down, he let out a powerful "Fuck!"
Lily and Vivian were both startled. Lily raised her head and looked at the dark entrance: "Landlord, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's really...not that big down here!"
Hao Ren stood under the cave, squinting his eyes to observe the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but be filled with wonder in his voice.
It was already dark down here, which was far more of a test of night vision than the night outside. Except for a bit of second-hand moonlight that could be faintly transmitted through the entrance of the cave, there was no light source at all in the cave. Hao Ren felt that even if he had just
The acquired night vision function is also a bit close to its limit, so I can only concentrate with all my strength so that I can clearly see the situation below.
It seems that his night vision ability is still based on normal optical laws. It has not yet reached the legendary level of scanning the surroundings with mental power. It is not known whether it can evolve in the future.
When he first jumped down, he was standing on a higher earth platform. This earth platform seemed to be specially designed to facilitate people underground to return to the ground through the secret door of the chapel. There was a small slope in front of the earth platform, and Hao Rengang walked along it.
As we walked down the slope a little, we saw something amazing: a tunnel, a tunnel beyond our imagination.
There is indeed an underground structure under this castle, and its scale is larger than Hao Ren expected. It has even exceeded the underground scale of most normal classical castles. In front of Hao Ren alone, there are three wide passages extending in different directions.
, these passages are reinforced by thick stones and some kind of black pillars whose materials are no longer visible due to their age. They have not collapsed after so many years. Even Hao Ren, a layman in architecture, found it quite incredible. Each passage is wide enough.
A medium-sized car was driving inside, with a height of more than three meters. They formed a T-shaped intersection in front of Hao Ren, and the intersection was as wide as an underground hall.
It seems that the secret door of the chapel leads to a "node" of the castle's underground passage, which is the place where several tunnels intersect.
There were two soft crashes behind Hao Ren, and Vivian and Lily also jumped down from the hole one after another. They walked along the slope of the small earth platform to the end, and after meeting Hao Ren, they saw the scene in front of them.
"This... the lord of the Joford Territory back then looked like he was really not an ordinary person. The underground palace he built was beyond the standard." Vivian, a knowledgeable vampire, could tell at a glance the scale of the tunnel and the structure above it.
The castle is not very well equipped. "Did there have been wars here for many years? As a result, the local lord built the underground shelter so big? There are even three forks in the road..."
Hao Ren glanced at Vivian strangely: "Have you not been to England since 1190? How come you are so familiar with the size of an English castle hundreds of years ago? I was thinking about it just now
Asked..."
"Why can't I wander around Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and France if I'm not in the UK?" Vivian glanced at Hao Ren with disdain, "I'm a bit poor, but the reason why I haven't come to the UK for nearly a thousand years is not because I'm too poor to have travel expenses.
——At that time, I was traveling around the surrounding countries. The ancient castles in this area hundreds of years ago were all similar. No matter how different the structures were, I still had a good idea of the scale comparison of each facility."
At this time, Lily had already sniffed and walked back and forth around the three intersections of the tunnel. She ran to one of the intersections, carefully distinguished the remaining smell in the air, and shouted loudly: "This way, there is the smell of someone here!"
The werewolf girl was now completely reduced to a smell radar, and Hao Ren felt like he was carrying a police dog...
Led by Lily, a group of three people headed towards the depths of the underground palace (which was large enough to be called an underground palace). At first, Hao Ren was worried about the danger of suffocation in the underground passage that had been in disrepair for a long time, but not long after leaving, he
I found that the air here is very fresh, and there is always a breeze blowing from nowhere, it seems that there are still vents leading to the surface in the underground palace that have not been blocked, and this further proves the original owner of this castle.
How much effort was put into building this fortress, yet it is so solid.
Vivian was analyzing next to her: "I originally thought that the original lord of the Joford Territory was just an ordinary nobleman who owned a castle, but now it seems that he is quite extraordinary. The underground structure here and the stones of the castle above
The quantity shows that this was once a very strong fortress building, but this is a plain area, and the location is not a military strategic point - even if it was a fortress, it lacked favorable geographical conditions. I am a little confused that Lord Jofold built such a
What is a strong fortress for?"
"Didn't you say that the Joford Territory was later abandoned due to internal rebellion?" Hao Ren guessed wildly, "Maybe it was because of the constant civil war that the lords here built the castle like a large fortress."
"You have no common sense," Vivian glanced at Hao Ren, "How long do you think it will take to build such a large underground fortification? And it was hundreds of years ago? This requires the efforts of several generations. I'm afraid it will take the Ford family two hundred years to build such a large underground fortification."
We have been strengthening and expanding this underground palace. And don’t forget that this is England. Unlike the bug dynasty in ancient China that easily recruited tens of thousands of civilians to dig mountains and create lakes, the productivity that a feudal lord here can use is limited.
, it’s suspicious that he’s undertaking such a big project.”
Vivian said, speeding up her pace and walking to the front. At this time, the surroundings were completely invisible, and no matter how strong the night vision ability is, it still needs a little light, so Hao Ren took out his data terminal and turned on the standby screen.
It was shining forward like a flashlight, and the surrounding area suddenly became as bright as day in his eyes. Lines of subtitles scrolled on the data terminal like a screen: "This machine thinks your usage is wrong. This machine thinks your usage is wrong."
The usage is incorrect... I suggest you search for the normal measures that should be taken at this moment..."
Hao Ren pretended not to see it. This data terminal was not reliable at all.
The three of them walked in the tunnel for a few minutes. Hao Ren felt that the terrain in front of him was slowly going downwards. It seemed that the tunnel was leading to a deeper place. He had temporarily forgotten the paranormal enthusiasts and Nangong on the surface.
Behind his head: He felt that staying in this pitch-black place was at least a good thing. He was far away from the troubles on the surface. It would be perfect if he could find the "person" he was looking for underground.
"So to say that the castle is haunted is actually because someone is pretending to be a ghost?" Lily felt that walking like this was boring, and regardless of her usual resentment, she took the initiative to talk to Vivian, "Who could it be? And there really are undead spirits under this castle.
Bar?"
"Hmph, people are definitely the ones who pretend to be gods and ghosts. People are the most complicated things. Who knows what they are thinking about all day long," Vivian snorted, "As for the undead... Hey, landlord, why did you tremble just now?"
Hao Ren cried sadly: "I just remembered that there is a ghost down here! I just jumped down without thinking about anything... At this time, I feel a little scared."
Vivian "comforted" him maliciously: "Don't be afraid, dealing with monsters and monsters will be your daily job sooner or later."
At this moment, Lily, who was walking at the front and leading the way, suddenly shrugged her nose in the air: "There is a person very close ahead! It seems that he can't stop."
The tunnel not far ahead finally came to an end, and there was a corner. On the other side of the corner, you could faintly see lights coming from it. Just as Hao Ren was about to take a step forward, Vivian grabbed his arm and said, "Wait a minute.
It's best to put on a disguise and don't forget to hide your identity in front of ordinary people."
As soon as Vivian finished speaking, layers of black mist spread around her. Because of Hao Ren's strange "magic immunity" constitution, Vivian couldn't make her spells take effect directly on Hao Ren, so
They could only use such a layer of fog to surround the three of them to hide their figures. Hao Ren looked at himself shrouded in a layer of black fog, and suddenly felt that the three of them seemed to be the most suitable group to set up a ghost...
Vivian whispered to the other two people: "Don't leave the range of the black mist, especially you, big dog, don't wrinkle your nose, my black mist is obviously mint-flavored, okay! This time I specially gave the bloody scent to
I removed it just to prevent you from talking nonsense."
The three of them hurried forward silently under the cover of black mist. After going around the corner of the tunnel, they saw the back of a person.
A short, fat man, wearing a miner's lamp and carrying a strange box on his back, was standing in front of a stone wall and walking around anxiously.
It's Angus, the innkeeper.
