After Angel entered the door, the first thing he saw was the Black Earl floating not far away.
Energy was constantly surging around the Black Earl, while Kael and Vai stood tremblingly in a corner not far away.
When Angel was wondering what was going on, he noticed that the energy around the Black Earl swept over. This was a kind of energy with an exploratory nature. Even if the energy hadn't touched Angel, Angel already had a
The feeling of being spied on all over.
Angel made no move and allowed the energy to get close to him.
However, the energy of exploration did not really touch Angel, but actively avoided it.
The same happened to Doakes who came in later. The energy didn't touch him and went around to other places.
Obviously, everything is under the control of the Black Earl.
But even if the Black Earl didn't take the initiative to use energy to spy on everyone, the coercion of the energy itself still made those in it feel uncomfortable.
Angel felt this way, and Kalel and Vai must have felt it even more. They were able to stand trembling, which was actually quite good.
The Black Earl may also know that such a large-scale and deep exploration will make everyone feel uncomfortable, so he quickly gathered back his energy.
It wasn't until the tension in the air disappeared that Kael and Vai breathed a sigh of relief.
Angel walked towards the Black Earl: "Sir, did you find anything?"
Angel didn't know why the Black Earl suddenly used such deep exploration energy. Maybe it was to avoid wasting time, or maybe he thought that he didn't find the abnormality of the sharp corner on the top of the underground church and planned to avenge his shame here.
No matter what the reason is, the person who is most familiar with the interior of this building now is undoubtedly the Black Earl.
Therefore, Angel did not explore further, but directly asked the Black Earl for the results.
The Black Count glanced at Angel and said calmly: "If you want to pick up the leak, you probably won't be able to."
When he heard the word "picking up leaks", Angel knew that the Black Earl must have heard what he and Doakes were chatting outside. However, what they talked about was not secret, so Angel didn't pay attention.
He said: "If you can't pick up the leaks, there are three situations. Either time has passed and the good things have rotted; or the owner of the house has taken away all the treasures when he left; or they have been robbed. I don't know, sir.
Which situation are you talking about?"
Black Earl: "The first situation can be eliminated, the second situation is possible, and the third situation is bound to happen."
In fact, there is no need to analyze the second situation. If the owner of the room leaves here, as long as he does not leave unexpectedly, he will definitely take away all the good things.
The most important thing is the third situation, which means that in the past ten thousand years, besides them, others have entered this room and left traces of looting.
Angel looked around. The surrounding area was very clean, with nothing else except tables and chairs directly connected to the ground.
Moreover, the drawers on the table showed signs of damage, including the lock cylinder, which had fallen to the ground. This was obviously forced open by a latecomer.
Seeing this, Angel smiled softly and looked back at Doakes: "It seems that your depression is about to increase again."
Doakes is not stupid either. When the Black Earl said that there was a third situation, his face began to darken.
The existence of the third situation means that someone else has entered this room in these ten thousand years. However, the door outside is locked and connected to the magic energy array. Even if Angel wants to enter, he must interrupt
The energy supply on the door requires an external array disk to enter.
In other words, others are even less likely to open that door.
Later looters did not come in through the door they came from, so there is only one possibility left.
There is more than one exit in this building.
When the road forked, it seemed that going right was a dead end, but now, the dead end turned into a way of survival.
If this road of survival is a road that can truly lead to the target point, Doakes is definitely depressed, because in his eyes, they have now become people who specialize in clearing the way for traveling merchant organizations.
Seeing Doakes' depressed expression, Angel wanted to laugh. Before, he thought Doakes was a careless person, but he didn't expect that he would care about such trivial matters. He didn't seem to be that big-hearted.
"Have you found the exit?" Angel suppressed his ridicule to Doakes and turned to look at the Black Earl.
The Black Earl hesitated for a moment: "You can go to the fireplace on the second floor and take a look. The flue of that fireplace has traces of being moved."
The Black Earl pointed out the location, and Angel was too lazy to search for other places and walked directly towards the second floor.
Everyone also followed suit.
After arriving on the second floor, Angel looked at the messy looting marks on the ground. Even the star-colored stones hanging on the walls were broken into pieces and fell to the ground. This shows how ruthless the looters were.
.
"These people are like a bunch of hungry wolves who can't get enough to eat. They even give up their usual elegance and style just for that little thing. They really don't want to be associated with them." This is what Doakes said, but his tone
The sour smell could not be concealed no matter how hard I tried.
After hearing what Doakes said, the Black Earl snorted coldly: "If you say this outside, at least half of the old monsters in the major wizarding organizations will come to find you."
You must know that the Garden Maze is an open ruins. What Doakes said is tantamount to damaging everyone who has explored the ruins.
Doakes seemed to realize something was wrong, and added: "I don't mean everyone, I mean everyone who has been in this room."
Although there are supplements, there are still questions about who has been to these rooms and whether these people are still alive. If this word spreads, Doakes may still be resented by some old monsters.
Therefore, Doakes thought about it again, then put his hands together and bowed to everyone, asking not to spread these words.
No one had any intention of spreading the word, and the Black Earl was just trying to scare him, so when he saw Doakes clasping his hands and bowing, he hummed and agreed. At this point, the matter was settled.
Doakes was actually a little surprised. He originally thought that the Black Earl might use this to blackmail him and take something out of his pocket. But Doakes felt quite happy about such a peaceful reconciliation.
Doakes was actually right. The Black Earl really had this idea, but for the sake of Doakes guiding him along the way, that was all.
Why should it be so difficult for a fool who pays a lot but doesn't realize it?
On the other side, Angel had already got into the fireplace while everyone was talking. When he asked the Black Earl about the exit just now, the Black Earl hesitated before saying the fireplace. Maybe the Black Earl himself was not completely sure whether this was the place.
The exit is only mentioned here because there are human traces in the flue.
Angel got behind the fireplace and saw an upward flue. The flue was tortuous and he couldn't see where it would reach. However, there were indeed traces of palm prints on both sides of the flue, and the palm prints were very black.
Obviously, Angel carefully observed the black dust on it with his alchemical eyes, and basically confirmed that the black substance should be blood.
At that time, there should have been extraordinary beings crawling down the flue with blood on their hands.
It is also because this blood comes from extraordinary people and has extraordinary power, so it can be preserved so completely after so many years.
However, the extraordinary reaction on the palm print has almost disappeared. If it takes another few hundred years, it will probably be lost with the passage of time.
Many times, it is difficult for history to explore the truth because the power of time will erase everything in the past.
Angel did not crawl into the flue, but asked Su Ming to feel whether there was wind flowing at the end of the flue.
The answer given by Suling is very clear - yes!
But it is very thin, as if it is obscured by a layer of physical objects.
Su Ling could not describe the specific object, but he was basically certain that there must be a road at the end of the flue, otherwise it would be impossible for Su Ling to feel the sound of the wind above.
"Sir, sir, is there really an exit in the flue?" A slightly shy and stuttering voice came from outside.
Without looking back, Angel knew that the person coming was Vai.
Although he didn't understand why Vai was so shy, Angel still told his findings in a serious manner.
He not only told Vai, but also used it to tell the outside "audience", especially Doakes, stop worrying about small details, it's time for you to open the way.
Yes, Angle plans to use Doakes in the front line.
Since Su Ling said it was a physical cover and not an energy cover, it must be the kind of work that requires physical strength.
Naturally, this kind of physical work was left to Doakes, which at least made him feel that he had a sense of participation in the exploration - this was a mercy given by the guilty leader who concealed Doakes' inspiration.
Doakes did not refuse, and showed off his well-developed biceps when passing by Angel.
Angel didn't react much to this, because his brother Leon often did similar actions, and after seeing it too many times, he just pretended it didn't exist. On the contrary, Vai couldn't help but squeaked, and Kael was confused.
In his eyes, Vai whispered: "Master Doakes often did this kind of action when he was still an apprentice, but he was always with beautiful women. This is the first time I have seen him do this kind of action to..."
Kael pondered for a moment and said in a researcher's tone: "People grow up and their tastes change."
The conversation between the two apprentices did not elicit any feedback from Doakes, because he had already climbed up the flue. As for Angel, there was no reaction either. He could probably guess what Doakes was thinking.
Some people will do whatever it takes just to grow up... no, to make friends.
After a while, Doakes' voice came from the psychic belt.
"What seals the flue is a special kind of stone, which is quite heavy and can shield mental power. After I activated my bloodline, I can push it open." Doakes paused: "But, I feel like something is wrong outside.
, although I couldn’t detect it mentally, I vaguely heard a lot of messy sounds.”
Angel: "You mean, there are monsters outside?"
Doakes: "I can't be sure. But the sounds outside are very chaotic... What the hell, there are more and more sounds, and they all seem to be surrounding the exit."
After hearing what Doakes said, Angel quickly asked Su Ling whether it detected any biological energy when it sensed the flow of external wind.
Su Ling's answer is no.
After getting this answer, Angel said without hesitation: "There should be some kind of monsters outside that can sense the breath of living creatures, and they live in groups. These monsters should not be too strong individually, otherwise they would not be able to push the stone away."
But if they continue to gather in groups, it will be a bit dangerous. I will ask Ermi and Su Ling to cooperate with you. You quickly push away the stone seal and clear out the gathered monsters first."
Without any hesitation, Angel directly put Ermi and Suling into the flue. They moved much faster than him, and almost when he finished speaking, they had already arrived at Doakes' side.
Doakes also understands the characteristics of gregarious monsters. The more they gather, the more terrifying they become.
It is not a lie that many ants kill an elephant.
So after sensing the arrival of backup, Doakes activated his blood vessels without hesitation, his arms visibly expanded and became metallized, and then he knocked away the stone seal at the exit with one palm.
As the stone seal was moved away, a large group of monsters with scarlet eyes rushed into the flue.
Doakes let the blood energy adhere to his body, and with the blessing of the speedy wind, he jumped out directly. When he jumped into the air, a blood-red long sword appeared in his hand.
Wherever the long sword was swung, monster heads fell down.
After seeing Doakes' swordsmanship, Su Ling, who originally planned to use the wind blade, quickly changed his strategy and directly controlled the power of the wind to throw a large group of monsters in the direction of Doakes.
Doakes doesn't need to move at all this time, he can just swing his sword.
Ermi, on the other hand, did not cooperate with Doakes, but killed those monsters alone. It was not that he did not cooperate, but with Ermi's strength, there was no need for Doakes to cooperate. Of course, it could also transform into
Wind style, learn to throw monsters into the air like Su Ling, and let Doakes kill them, but this is completely putting the cart before the horse.
Ermi's strength... is comparable to that of the True Knowledge level.
Not to say it is far superior to Doakes, but he is definitely not weaker than Doakes. Moreover, his killing range is wider than Doakes. When he kills these small monsters, once the shadow covers them, he can kill a large group.
The speed is not slower than Doakes with the speed spirit, it is even faster.
While the enemy was being killed above, the others were not idle and quickly climbed into the flue.
No matter how powerful Ermi and Doakes are, they can only kill monsters. But if either Angel or Black Earl goes up, they can directly control the monsters in a small area through control methods.
Therefore, compared to Suling and Ermi, they are actually the real backup.
The flue was longer than they imagined, twisting and turning, but their speed was not slow, especially after Vai controlled the power of the earth and created an upward "elevator", the speed was even more astonishing
.
It only took more than ten seconds to complete the twists and turns that were at least 100 meters high, and the two apprentices all jumped out from the exit.
