Chapter 41: A Door

A door……

Just when Roman was secretly on guard, Black Dog and the other three also saw this simple and heavy stone door through the light of the lantern.

The three of them gathered in front of the stone gate to check if there were any hidden mechanisms or traps.

When the three of them weren't paying attention, Roman took a few steps back into the darkness and took out the divination gold coin.

Since the key word in yesterday's divination was the manor, and it might not be inside the manor now, Roman was afraid that the divination results would be misleading.

Think silently in your heart.

"There is mortal danger behind this door."

"There is mortal danger behind this door."



He flipped up the gold coin and found that the reverse side engraved with complicated asymmetrical patterns was facing up and landed in his hand.

The danger is not fatal.

Roman looked at the three people doing the examination in front of him. For some reason, he felt that they looked so professional.

After checking it in several ways, Black Dog looked at Roman: "We are going to open this door and take a look, Giant, what do you think?"

I think, what can I feel? If I decide, I will definitely turn around and leave. Anyway, this door is closed well, and there are no dangers inside.

But seeing that the three people in front of him were ready to open the door, Roman smiled and said, "No problem."

Seeing that the three people's attention returned to opening the door, Roman took out several tin boxes from his arms, took out a black men's glove, a ring, and a ring, and put them on

On hand.

As for the badge engraved with the Holy Emblem of the Storm, Roman pinned it to the chest of his inner clothes.

After being fully armed, Roman came to the gray-white door and started pushing the door hard with several people.

Even if he didn't use any extraordinary power, Roman's power was not comparable to that of the Black Dog trio. The moment Roman joined in, the stone door that had only cracked a small gap slowly opened, and there was a burst of heart-wrenching sound.

Rubbing sound.

The three black dogs couldn't help but look at each other with complicated expressions.

After opening a gap large enough to pass through, Roman stepped back suddenly and started to be on guard.

After several people opened the door, they heard a rustling sound. Roman was the first to see it and took three steps back. He felt goosebumps all over his body.

I saw a large number of huge insects of various types pouring out from the door.

There were spiders the size of a palm, a reptile with many legs that looked like a centipede that Roman couldn't name, and a black crawling beetle with a hard shell, the smallest of which was as thick as an adult's finger.

After Roman retreated, Black Dog and the other three also saw the insects pouring out. Although they were surprised, they did not panic. Black Dog opened the backpack behind him while retreating.

He first opened a paper bag containing gray powder and spilled the white powder inside in a semicircle forward.

When the insects in front of them came into contact with the gray powder, they changed their direction of travel in an attempt to avoid it.

After seeing the insects crawling along the circle area he had designated, the black dog opened a jar containing a yellow-brown liquid and poured the liquid forward to surround the insects.

Then he took out a match, lit it, and threw it into the yellow liquid.

I saw that the yellow-brown liquid that was originally spilled on the ground burned quickly when it met the flames. The flames that shot up were more than half a meter high, surrounding the insects.

The insects were seen constantly struggling in the fire, and some even tried to escape through the flames, and were eventually burned to ashes.

Black Dog carefully replenished the fuel twice more, and a burning smell gradually spread in the air.

Roman watched his operation from the side, quite dumbfounded.

"Did you know there would be insects inside?" Roman asked casually.

"No," Black Dog smiled: "This is experience. Basements that have not been opened for a long time often breed various insects or snakes. This is what I have learned from many unpleasant exploration experiences. Although this time

Insects grow extremely large, but it is not difficult to eliminate them by simply setting up a trap. Therefore, when performing similar commissions, I always carry some insect repellent and snake repellent, as well as this special burning

agent.”

Mole said from the side: "Although this oily burning agent looks ordinary, this can costs 2 pounds, and most people have no way to buy it."

"Professional..." Roman spit out two words.

After a while, I saw that the flames gradually extinguished and no more insects emerged.

Several people picked up their lanterns and walked towards the door.

"The lanterns have not been extinguished. It seems that the air environment inside is fine." This was Roman's first thought after entering. Then, he saw a large area of ​​tall, dark buildings.

What appeared in front of Roman and the others was a wide hall with the floor covered with dark stone slabs.

In the hall, huge stone pillars are scattered asymmetrically, supporting the ceiling.

From the ceiling, you can see metal rods hanging vertically down, and at the bottom you can see candlesticks engraved with different creatures.

Quaternary architecture?

Seeing the asymmetrical inverted candlesticks on both sides, Roman immediately wanted to turn around and run away.

Although he did not have a deep understanding of the history and architectural style of the Fourth Age, Roman also knew that the most representative architectural styles of the Fourth Age were the candlesticks hanging from the ceiling and the chop-like patterns on the black walls.

This is consistent with the architectural style of the underground ruins that the goddess sent down the oracle to avoid!

What kept Roman from escaping was that the number of candlesticks on both sides of his eyes was wrong.

According to memory, Roman remembered that in that dangerous ruins, there were an exaggerated number of candlesticks, 41 on the left and 40 on the right.

That's the specification that Tudor and Trunsoest can only use!

In the Fourth Age, there were strict regulations on the number of candlesticks that could be used in buildings. Commoners could only use 3 on the left and 2 on the right. In the hall in front of him, Roman counted 21 inverted candlesticks on the left and 2 on the right.

It's 20.

This shows that the owner of this building was a noble of the Fourth Age during his lifetime, but not that kind of great noble.

So Roman could still think about it and observe again instead of turning around and running away.

Several people walked forward with lanterns in hand and saw that the hall was scattered, with seats placed asymmetrically, with a huge black iron-colored seat at the top, as if looking down.

One piece...

Roman breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

Roman walked forward and saw a pattern similar to a badge engraved on the back of this huge chair. It was a layer of thorns, a shield wall, and a vertical long sword.

on it.

What badge is this?

The badge in front of him was beyond the scope of Roman's knowledge. Roman only knew that this building belonged to a certain noble from the Fourth Age, but there were many families in the Fourth Age that could be called nobles, and it was impossible to tell them apart.

Just as Roman was thinking, he heard the voice of a mole coming from the front.

"Look, there's another door here!"
