Chapter 109: The Killing Elevator of the Undercity
Alsace's voice was low, with a strange and eerie feeling.
"Before my grandfather inherited the throne, the Kingdom of Lordaeron had a total of nine kings. During this period, there were many years without a king. The longest king was thirty-three years, and the shortest was only three years and six months. They will
Suddenly one day, as if in a daze, he walked underground together with all his descendants and disappeared."
"Undercity!" Robbie trembled.
The Undercity is an underground city made entirely of boulders. The construction technology of Azeroth is similar to that of the European Middle Ages. Stone buildings have always been known to take a long time. Cologne Cathedral and Notre Dame de Paris both cost hundreds of millions.
It took years to complete the construction.
So how many years does it take to build an underground city? How many Notre Dame de Paris is it equivalent to?
A conservative estimate would suggest that it would take thousands of years, and it is simply impossible for humans to accomplish this.
Arthas nodded and spoke again:
"The Undercity is a city full of mystery. I don't know who built it. It should not be a human creation. Initially, the royal city of Lordaeron was located on the Whispering Coast. Like Stormwind City, it is an excellent natural haven and the foundation has just been laid.
While traveling, a large city was discovered underground. The king at the time thought it was unknown, so he chose its current location, on the shores of Lake Lordamre."
"What I didn't expect was that the city actually followed."
After listening to Alsace's statement, Robbie fell into deep thought. In a world of high demons, there were too many weird things. Even the ancient gods could reasonably exist. It was really not surprising that a city could move underground.
"What do you think of this, Lord Guardian?" Robbie asked.
Arthas smiled bitterly:
"The Guardian doesn't know the secret either. She has no other choice but to look for a special bloodline to inherit the throne. You see, she finally chose the right person. Our Menethil family is immune to this curse, but we have paid the price
The price of blood."
It would be okay if we did not mention the guardian. When talking about the guardian, His Royal Highness was filled with resentment and said in a cold voice:
"Robbie, I am twenty-four years old this year. My sister is only three years older than me. My father has inherited the throne for fifty years. What conclusion can you draw from this simple calculation?"
this!
Robbie had always been a little skeptical about the family affairs of the Menethil royal family, but he didn't ask more questions out of politeness.
King Terenas is already about seventy years old, and his eldest daughter is only twenty-seven.
In this way, King Terenas had his first child when he was nearly fifty years old.
Is it difficult for a king to find a wife? Is he so busy that he doesn’t even have time to create the next generation?
In the feudal dynasty, the king’s family affairs were state affairs.
Under normal circumstances, the king will get married as soon as possible and give birth to an heir to the throne, so as not to have an accident on that day and suddenly die, and the kingdom without an heir will easily fall into civil strife.
Robbie scratched his head and wanted to say that King Terenas was a typical example of late childbearing.
His Highness the Prince gritted his teeth and was filled with hatred:
"Actually, I have six brothers and five sisters. They were all taken away by the Guardian and disappeared. My sister Calia was too talented, so she survived. I am the only male left.
Heir to the throne."
Being taken away by the guardian? Robbie looked surprised.
It's definitely not like being accepted as a disciple, otherwise there would be no need to hide it, it would be nice to be open and honest.
Could it be some kind of evil experiment to extract blood?
There must be nothing good in it anyway.
Robbie could only sigh to express his sympathy. Behind the superficial beauty of the Menethil royal family, there was actually endless desolation.
"Did the Wrynn family of Stormwind Kingdom have the same fate?" Robbie thought of Vanessa.
Alsace thought for a while and said: "The Wrynn family also has a special bloodline. They seem to be born with a dual personality and can split into two completely different people. They are also passed down by a single generation for several generations and have a small population. Are there any of them?
Because of the guardian, I’m not sure.”
There is no doubt that there is definitely something wrong with this coincidence.
No wonder Queen Tiffin Wrynn needed to use the power of the Brotherhood to fake death and escape from Stormwind City.
It's no wonder that Vanessa is so persistent in her pursuit of power.
The Guardian McGowan family is simply a dark cloud hanging over mankind.
Alsace felt sleepy and yawned profusely. Robbie stood up and left.
Not long after lying on the bed, familiar footsteps came from the corridor again.
Very light, very gentle, this time it stopped in front of Robbie's door.
Robbie frowned and stood up helplessly to open the door.
The female corpse stood outside the door, with a beautiful little face, her eyes closed, just standing there, low-key and quiet.
Ordinary corpses are evil, but this corpse gives people a warm feeling, like a sleeping beauty.
"Hey, hey, go back and sleep with your prince. I'm not interested in corpses."
The female corpse didn't move at all, as if to say that no one cares about you.
"Well, I have nothing to say to a corpse."
The strange thing is that the female corpse did not go back to Alsace's room, but walked in another direction, walked a few steps and stopped.
"You mean to let me follow you?"
Of course the female corpse couldn't speak, she just walked and walked, obviously leading the way.
Robbie curiously followed the female corpse. Apart from walking very lightly and slowly and not breathing, the female corpse seemed to be no different from a living person.
The female corpse was very familiar with the inside of the palace. She stopped at a corner and turned on the mechanism on the wall. A stone door opened, revealing the elevator entrance driven by the mechanism.
Robbie frowned and looked down. The elevator shaft was extremely deep, with dark holes leading straight into the depths of the underground.
Could this be the famous murderous elevator in the Undercity?
What does the female corpse take me to the Undercity mean? Robbie doesn't quite understand.
Driven by unknown power such as gear mechanisms, the elevator rumbled upwards, and the female corpse stepped forward and stepped onto the elevator.
Robbie hesitated for a moment and then followed.
The elevator descended slowly, and the holy light lit up between Robbie's fingers for illumination.
Robbie didn't know what was driving the elevator. He only saw patterns carved on the walls of the elevator shaft. They were strange species that he had never seen before, including beasts with scorpion tails and canine-like heads.
Fish with dragon-like heads; giant insects that circle together and have thorns on their backs are not like species in the world of Azeroth.
After a long time, the elevator reached the bottom. Robbie stepped out of the elevator and looked around with the holy light at his fingertips.
In fact, the Undercity under Lordaeron has already been explored by predecessors, and Orgrimmar Doomhammer was once imprisoned here. Robbie did not think there would be any new discoveries.
The leather boots made no sound on the stone floor, the mottled walls, the ancient stone pillars, the spiraling stone stairs, and occasionally the sound of dripping water could be heard.
It's surprisingly clean here, with no moss growing on the damp walls. Not only are there no mice, there's not even a trace of mosquitoes.
After following the female corpse not far, Robbie felt like crying and lost his way again.
The female corpse walked along a winding passage deep into the Undercity and entered a dead end.
Suddenly there was a faint sound of mourning, as if to welcome the return of the dead. The female corpse walked straight forward. The large symbols on the wall flashed and rippled, shaking like water waves. The female corpse actually passed through the wall.
Sad music echoed in his ears, and the symbols on the wall flashed again, as if calling Robbie.
After hesitating for a long time, Robbie took a step forward and walked into the wall.
Countless lights and shadows intertwined, black and white intertwined.
Before Robbie's eyes could adjust, he heard loud shouting:
"There are living people here."
not good!
Power like a tidal wave, carrying the sound of hunting wind, came overwhelmingly, and Robbie felt only darkness in front of him. (To be continued)
