In the depths of the tomb, a figure staggered out.
After entering the range of the candlelight, the figure seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the light, raised his right hand, and blocked it in front of his eyes.
Like those tomb keepers, he wore a blue top and yellow trousers, but his face was deeply wrinkled, with hazel patches everywhere, his all-white hair was sparse and dry, and his eyes were rare pure black and cold.
For some reason, Lumian always felt that the old tomb warden's figure was blurred, the edges seemed to blend into the surrounding darkness, unable to be illuminated by the light of the white candle, and his breathing was so faint that it seemed like nothing.
He was like a corpse that still retained the function of speaking, and said emotionlessly, hoarsely:
"Get out of here!"
"Since it is open for visits, there should be no areas that cannot be entered!" Lumian imitated the tone of some college students in the memorial parish, trying to persuade them with "reason".
The elderly tomb keeper repeated what he had just said:
"Get out of here!"
Lumian turned his head to the side and looked at "Hela" beside him, wondering if she could persuade the tomb keeper.
If it doesn't work, then just do it, control the other party, and even knock him unconscious!
"Hum Ha Technique" is very suitable for this kind of thing.
"Hela" shook her head slowly, turned around and walked to the outside of the tomb.
…………
Underground near Arcade Street of the Opera House.
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 Felkin, and you go to the Deep Valley Quarry to create a lot of movement and expose that secret cave.
"If you want, you can sign a contract now, and I have a way to ensure that the contract is binding on both parties."
5 Feldin creates an explosion that can break the stone wall at the entrance to the secret cave? Sounds simple...... Why do you ask us to do such a simple thing and pay you 5 Fairkin? The more Franka thought about it, the more wrong it became.
She tilted her head slightly, took out a fist-sized gray-white cloth bag, threw it into the shadow next to her, and posed to guard against the man opposite, which was inconvenient to rummage through items, and said:
"Help me find the seal."
Seal? Jane emerged from the shadows and caught the small money bag that made a metal clattering sound.
She was very puzzled by Franka's words:
Isn't it a coin and a "ring of punishment"?
Franka smiled at the client:
"What are the specific terms of the contract?"
She felt that the other party would manipulate the contract and use the extraordinary abilities of the corresponding field, and she planned to do it directly before signing the contract!
Grab it, ask clearly, and then consider whether to sign a contract!
…………
Lumian followed "Hela" out of the tomb suspiciously, and asked:
"What now?"
"You grab my right arm." "Hela"'s voice was colder than before, without a bit of temperature.
Lumian probably understood what she was thinking, and as she instructed, he reached out and grabbed her right arm.
Immediately afterwards, "Hela" turned the black diamond ring on the middle finger of her right hand with her left palm.
Almost at the same time, Lumian felt that he had been alienated to some extent, and was no longer in the same world as the environment at the entrance of 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 such a 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 a dead silence.
Not long after, Lumian saw a rotten coffin standing upright on the ground with visibility of no more than five meters.
Just now, the elderly tomb keeper was standing in the coffin, his eyes open, without a trace of brilliance, and his body motionless.
This time, Lumian couldn't hear his breathing at all.
In the fog, the elderly tomb keeper ignored Lumian and "Hela" and "watched" them cross over him to the end of the tomb.
There is a downward, soothing slope that leads to unknown directions.
"Hela" signaled Lumian to let go of his palm, and the strange state of the two of them disappeared.
Lumian stood at the top of the slope, and by the candlelight in his assistant, he saw that there were many bones scattered on the slope, none of which were intact.
At this moment, he felt that the cold bursting from the depths of his heart occupied his body, leaving his emotions and desires in a state of withering, but magically, the irritability that could not get rid of the restraints and the malice that wanted to pinch other people's necks still existed, and it became stronger and stronger, which made Lumian feel as if he was watching his other self, crazy, and unfamiliar in an unusually calm state.
He couldn't help but tilt his head and looked at "Hela" again.
The woman 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 at the same time, making her feel as if she had been dead for some time.
"Are you okay?" Lumian kept in mind that his main role was to always remind "Hela" to prevent her from being eroded by the pollution in the catacombs and causing mutations.
"Hela" put down the empty wine jug and said in a voice without a hint of life:
"It's okay for the time being.
"I have made certain preparations for the situation here, as long as I don't stay too long, there will be no problem."
"How long can you stay?" Lumian asked.
"About half an hour." "Hela" began to descend the slope.
Lumian planned to wait a while, regardless of whether he gained anything or not, grabbed "Hela's" arm a few minutes in advance and used "Spirit World Shuttle" to forcibly take her out of here.
The surface of the black slope, the further down there are a large number of skeletons, which gradually become complete, retaining their original form, some like humans, some like monsters.
The skeleton that "Hela" had awakened before also stopped on one knee on this slope, and I don't know what stopped it from moving forward.
After walking a distance for a while, Lumian saw layers of faint gray and white mist covering his front.
They contract gently and sometimes expand, as if they have a life of their own.
"Hela" slowed down, looking at the faint gray and white mist, more cautious and solemn than ever.
"Is there a problem with that?" The more Lumian looked, the more familiar the gray and white mist became.
"Hela" nodded and said:
"It's very dangerous, I have made corresponding preparations, but I'm not sure if it will work."
Lumian listened to Ms. Hela's answer as he continued to look at the gray mist.
Suddenly, he understood why he felt familiar.
Isn't that the gray and white mist shrouded in the ruins of Kordu Village?
Isn't that the gray and white mist that provides protection when he asks for gifts?
At this moment, Lumian understood the real reason why the "righteous" lady must let herself follow the "Hela" lady to find the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain".
He tentatively took a few steps forward and stretched out his right palm towards 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 inspired.
And his right palm did not encounter the slightest danger, and probed into the gray and white mist without any abnormality.
Lumian's heart suddenly became determined, and he said to himself:
"Praise the fool!"
After a short prayer, he turned to "Hela" and smiled:
"I prepared accordingly and it looked effective.
"I'll grab your arm."
"Hela" didn't ask Lumian what preparations he had made, nor did he ask him what information he still had, and let him grab his left arm and slowly walk into the gray fog with him.
Everything around became quieter, and it seemed that there was an invisible aura surging strangely, and it didn't take long for the two of them to hear an illusory, slight crackle at the same time.
The sound of water...... Lumi was relieved and secretly relieved.
He and "Hela" are not in the wrong place!
There is a high probability that it is the "Samaritan Woman's Spring"!
The two took a few more steps forward, and the gray and white mist quickly faded, revealing a pond-sized spring.
The spring is surrounded by dark objects that are difficult to describe in words, and there is a pale stream of water gushing in the middle.
In the water flow, a piece of wet, black aquatic grass-like hair floated and floated, and there were several vague figures at the bottom trying to crawl out.
Hovering next to the spring was a woman, the figure of a suspected high-ranking witch in a white robe that Lumian had seen before.
Her face was pale and transparent, her eyes were dull and cold, and there were white bones scattered around her.
Wow!
The pale spring water suddenly shrank deeper, leaving only a dark hole that seemed to be unable to exist even in light.
With another bang, spring water gushed out from the dark hole, refilling the pond-sized spring hole.
Compared with before, it was more bleak, not pale enough, both ethereal and dark, as if it contained countless colors.
In an instant, the spring water merged with the surrounding gray and white mist, restoring the appearance of Lumian and "Hela" when they first saw each other.
In this place, both of their memories begin to blur and seem 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 a stone texture.
He had never put a similar item in his pocket at all!
Lumian pulled out his right hand in astonishment, and saw a piece of tan stone in the palm of his hand, with many pits on the stone, and each pit was dotted with dark red patches.
Earth Blood Ore!
This is the earth blood ore he lost before!
When did it come back? How could it suddenly appear to me? This, this is part of the underground Trier! Lumi Anxin was shocked and his pupils dilated, and at the same time, a crazy, terrifying, bloody and rusty aura came from the black hole that had once again swallowed the pale spring water.
The mere appearance of it made Lumian and "Hela" freeze at the same time, making it difficult to move.
Hovering next to the figure suspected of being a high-ranking witch around the spring eye, a skeleton raised his palm and touched his right eye.
At the same time, its white teeth opened and closed, and it let out a pleasant laugh:
"I got it all, how can I not give it a try?"
Immediately afterwards, the dense white bones around the spring eye opened their mouths at the same time, making the same sound:
"I got it all, how can I not give it a try?"
