Lorraine Hill swung his long sword and brought up several fluorescent purple light blades, easily smashing and annihilating several ghosts that came towards him, then looked around and continued to move forward.
This is already a deeper area in the ruins. A few drops of water can be heard in the dark space, and the ground is made of damp stone bricks. Some of them have collapsed, and some are broken and raised, making the corridor not so flat.
Although most of the materials in the ruins have been corrupted and broken, a small part has been preserved. When Lorraine Hill searched a previous room, he found a box of gems.
These gems and gold coins are mixed together scatteredly. The style is very different from today. It should be the style of the Orc Empire in the First Era. The reason why it appears here is probably because the personnel in the past stored the trophies here, but later
Forgot to take it away again.
After a simple estimate, even if I take it out now, I can get more than 100 extraordinary gold coins, which is a lot of money.
After putting away the gems, Lorraine Hill moved forward along the aisle, when he slowly heard a quarrel.
"Break open this door, and there will be treasures left by our family inside." Viscount Moruo suppressed his excitement and commanded in front of a huge stone door.
"Lord Viscount, I'm afraid this is different from what you said before."
Several officers stood under the huge door that was more than ten meters high, looking up at the closed door. It was engraved with a pattern of crying skulls, which was obviously the symbol of the Mercury Dynasty. Moreover, they looked at the cold magic power leaking from the crack in the door.
, the things stored in it are probably not common treasures.
"Maybe we should go back and look for some support. Things here are very dangerous." Several other adventurers under the sect also retreated at this moment. Although they are greedy for money, they value their own lives more.
"No, just today." Viscount Moreau shook his head and explained.
"Once this ruins is opened, the self-destruction device will be activated. In a few days, we will get nothing."
"We don't have so much time to prepare. Wealth is right in front of us. If you help me retrieve the treasures left by my family, I promise to give you 300 extraordinary gold coins in return." He said a huge number, which is what many ordinary adventurers will spend in their lifetime.
Wealth that cannot be earned.
"This..." Several other people hesitated, but in the end they were moved by the generous reward.
"Then leave it to us, but can Sir Viscount provide a part of the deposit first?" one of the cunning adventurers asked.
"We are not like you. If you regret it then, we will suffer a big loss."
"Oh, take it. This is all the money I have on me now. I can give you more when I get back to the castle." After saying that, Viscount Moreau took out a money bag, which contained extraordinary gold coins and broken gems.
There are also some jewelry found in the ruins.
After counting, they found it was worth about 50 extraordinary gold coins. Several adventurers looked at each other, nodded, and then started to act.
They first asked the people under the door to retreat, and then one of them took off the items from his backpack, and then took out the bottles and cans from his waist and pockets, and mixed them on the spot.
"Is this alchemy?" Yan Liuyan looked at this slightly familiar scene and couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, my lord, although I am a dabbler, my teacher is a mage who escaped from Lurna, and he has learned some real skills." An adventurer wearing a dark green robe half-crouched on the ground, and quickly
Shake the reagent, then add some raw materials such as glass chips, and start stirring again.
When a large number of bubbles appeared in the reagent, he carefully took out the package filled with black powder from his backpack, placed it under the door, embedded it in the crack of the door, then dug out a small opening and put the reagent inside.
After doing all this, he stepped back and stood up, then retreated dozens of meters away before attracting tiny magic sparks, which floated slowly towards the reagent port.
"Bang"
Like tiny fireworks being ignited, countless tiny sparks flashed simultaneously, followed by a dull explosion.
After the explosion and the dust settled, several other people came out from behind the wall and searched the smoky ruins.
The originally closed door was blown loose and opened a little. Although it was not big, the remaining people could now walk in sideways.
"Okay, let's move on." Viscount Moreau waved excitedly, leading the rest of the group to stride forward, squeezing in one by one.
After all these people entered, Lorraine Hill walked out from the corner of the aisle and looked at the core area of the ruins. She stopped under the gate, looked up at the crying skull pattern, and sighed in her heart.
According to Trinasha, this should be the symbol of the Palace of Weeping, symbolizing that the things stored inside are dangerous and powerful, and must be treated with caution.
'The more powerful something is, the more likely it is to be accompanied by disasters and curses.' - The motto of a certain Mercury Dynasty governor.
I really don't know whether opening this place is a good thing or a bad thing. The girl shook her head lightly, then put her hand on the hilt of the sword, walked towards the open gap of the stone door, and slowly entered this deep and lightless realm.
————————
At the same time, on the other side under the night sky.
Charanlot was being protected while running in the mountains. In the darkness, the rugged mountain road made her escape difficult. From time to time, she tripped over tree roots and gravel, and occasionally slipped and twisted her foot.
Fortunately, a well-trained body will not be easily injured, but it can be said to be quite embarrassing at the moment. The boots are full of mud, and the edges of the skirt are also full of scratches and broken pieces.
"Over there!" There was another shout and a chase in the distance behind him, and the empire's elite legionnaires were still chasing after them. They held torches high and searched for traces of Charanlot and his party in the dark night.
"Quick, quick, quick!" they called to their companions, and then a shining arrow rose up, causing a sharp whistle in the night sky.
"Damn hyenas!"
Seeing the pursuers gathering again, several of the guards of the Netiwen family around them spat angrily, but there was nothing they could do. They were no match for these people in terms of combat power at the moment.
"No, this is not the way to go." Gersmi slowed down and quickly scanned the surroundings and the distance.
"We must find a way to get rid of them." He thought quickly in a low voice, then raised his head.
"You three form a team and run away in different directions so that you can distract the pursuers."
"But in this case, there will be less protective power around Miss Charanlot." The captain immediately discovered the loophole.
"In extraordinary times, you don't have to worry about so much. If you are caught up at this time, no matter how many people protect you, it will be useless. You know it." Gersmi looked directly at the captain.
The captain looked at Charlanlot and Gersmi, was silent for a few seconds, and then nodded sharply.
"Okay, let's be the bait, and you take the eldest lady to a safe place." Then he turned around and waved his hand.
"Follow the order and form a team of three to escape. If you can survive, we will meet at the stronghold south of the Dragon's Back Mountains in three months."
"Yes!" These were dead soldiers of the Netiwen family. Naturally, they had already realized this. They immediately dispersed, deliberately causing noise to attract the enemy's attention.
"This is my helmet and cape. I hope Miss Charlanlot can put it on. It will be much safer." As he said this, the captain took off his cape and helmet.
Compared to Lottie's outfit, his helmet and cape will make the girl look like those players from the back, so as not to attract too much attention.
"Thank you." Charlotte didn't show any pretense at this time and accepted the cape and armor.
"You should also pay attention to your safety. I hope to see you again." She solemnly responded to this loyal guard.
"Of course, I will still live to see Miss Ewinnie rebuild the Netiwen family." As he said this, the captain showed a smile, nodded to Charan Lott, and then ran into the night with several guards and disappeared.
Deep in the forest.
Seeing that Charanlot was motionless, Gersmi reminded, "Miss, it's time for us to leave."
"Yeah." After saying that, Charlanlot put on her helmet and cloak and walked into the dark woods again.
