Like most towns in Erdrit's territory, Tulip Town also has a square in the center of the town, but the center of the square is not the popular sculpture fountain, but a flower earth bag, a round and fluffy flower earth bag.
Tulips in spring and summer, green pines and cypresses in autumn and winter. These are the characteristics of Tulip Town Square, and they are quite unique now. The pine and cypress bushes are all buried in the soil, and the entire area is covered with earth. From a distance, it looks like a large tomb.
The originally empty square was now filled with random piles of dirt and gravel, leaving only a narrow road, like a ditch, facing the entrance of the tunnel on the side of the flower soil bag.
Before Elius, Immorton was like a mad cow with its head and tail ignited, rushing into the tunnel with great speed. Elius did not learn from Imogen. Although he was also very anxious in his heart, at least it seemed that he had a high-level
A spellcaster should be calm and calm, and Elius believes that this is also the demeanor a leader should have. No matter how chaotic the demeanor is, he cannot mess up himself.
On the rubble piled up like hills in the square, there were at least nearly a hundred demonizers, and more than 20 Terrest hounds were also brought here. Some of them were searching around, and some were patrolling on alert, with expressions on their faces.
He was solemn and his eyes were sharp, and he looked like an elite soldier who was doing his duty, giving the whole area a sense of treachery and sternness.
But the more this happened, the angrier Elius became.
"Pretending!" Elius secretly spat out something he dared to guarantee with his head. Although there were not many fewer people guarding here ten minutes ago than now, the alert situation was definitely the opposite compared to now. Otherwise, how could the enemy
Swaggering into the tunnel?
Elius has already learned the general outline of the matter from one of his assistants, the level 3 mage Aldrich:
About 10 minutes after the murder scene of patrol group 6 was discovered, an enemy pretended to be a cultist and marched straight into the excavation site at the bottom of the tunnel. At the innermost level, he killed the demon changer Ya Heng.
Aldrich was certain that an object had been taken by this enemy, but it was unknown what it was.
You can't blame it, because even Elius only knows about the excavation target. It's like those standard explorations of ancient ruins. No one has an accurate picture in advance of what objects can be produced.
"Master, although Yaheng has paid the price for his mistakes, I still hope you know the truth of the matter." Aldrich is a bit dull on weekdays, but he is not a person who is shy about talking, and in the impression of Elius
Here, this person is relatively objective and fair, and will not try his best to smear anyone because of his own personal grudges.
His vision suddenly went dark. Elius had already entered the tunnel.
The construction was rushed and the tunnels were dug in a crude way. Every once in a while, through the soybean oil tube lamps hung on the walls, one could see the scenery of the area more clearly. The most conspicuous ones were the twisted supports.
The pillars, crumbling beams, and roofs left long shadows in the light, twisting like monsters with claws and teeth. If you pay more attention, you will find that these materials supporting the tunnel have traces of gray stone and even mud tiles.
It’s hard to understand. They were obtained by robbing private houses. They were temporarily requisitioned just like the people who dug the tunnels.
Elius allowed Aldrich to tell the so-called truth, and as he expected, the excavation reached the final stage, and it was time to produce results. The domineering Yaheng hoped to dig out important objects first-hand and present them to the superior.
In order to win the favor of the superior, this gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of
"Damn it!" Elius cursed bitterly in his heart. With his active thinking, it was not difficult to imagine the scene at that time, and he was convinced that the Shangguan Yaheng wanted to dedicate to him could never be him, Immortun, or even
Simply Gordon, even if these items will eventually be transferred back to the Hall of the Dead where the Necromancer belongs, for research, but before that, those guys have to show off their power and even bargain.
"Aldrich, you should have been keeping an eye on me!" Elius complained slightly.
"Master, the student is at fault!" Aldrich showed his humility
However, he quickly changed the subject: "The joining of the magic warriors in our team is like adding sand to the clear water. They are stupid, unruly, unruly, and difficult to manage. They have made the originally strict system and rigorous and careful plan disappear.
To become a master full of loopholes, I personally feel as if a scholar is cooperating with a group of street gangsters!" Aldrich severely eliminated the dark minions of the evil system.
I have to say that what Aldrich said exactly expresses Elius’s feelings.
"The gangsters in the market, huh! You really look up to them!" Elius, who was pacing, snorted coldly: "The losers, the frustrated, the down-and-out, the incompetent...these guys are the scum and waste eliminated by society.
A waste among firewood! Not enough for success, but more than enough for failure!"
Aldrich curled his lips secretly. His goal was achieved. Elius was very angry. This anger would naturally make him blame most of the responsibility for this incident on Yaheng.
As for a dead person, Immorton would not be too serious about it with Elius. A dead person has no investment value...
Elius soon met Immorton, who looked as blue as if his wife had just died.
The dark force that raided Tulip Town had seven core characters. Apart from the leader, the 8th-level necromancer Elius, and four magic warriors, after the death of the three necromancers Douai and Fartak, Immorton felt that
I was a little happy at first, because 4:2, from the perspective of strength, the magic warrior has a clear advantage.
But before Imerton could make any obvious move, he arranged for a freed serf to sing, and the news of Tatai's death came back. Now even Ya Heng is dead, and all the superficial evidence is not conducive to Ya Heng. He is definitely taking the blame.
Immorton was very angry, because he knew that due to the nature of this incident, he, the little leader of Demon War, would also be implicated. The loss of an 'important item' by Elius could put most of the blame on
After all, what important items the magic warriors are? This is really a question that makes people think a lot.
Sure enough, he was afraid of what he was afraid of. As soon as Eleus saw Immorton, he immediately said: "What important items are missing?"
"Fuck! Are you so damn sure it's an important item?" Immorton really wanted to pull out the few strands of hair on Elius's head, but one of his hands behind his back pinched his butt hard.
After a while, I finally endured it.
"Oh, after a simple investigation, I inferred that it is an object of this category." Immorton tried his best to keep his tone as calm as possible, and handed over a small box. This thing was originally given to him by Ya Heng before, because Ya Heng
Heng was very good at using various methods to enrich himself during the excavation process, so Immorton assigned him full responsibility for the excavation site.
Taking the small metal box from Immorton's hand with great care, the expression on Elius's face suddenly resembled that of a pervert when he saw a beautiful woman.
"What a treasure. Look at the metal texture, the pattern, and the mechanism. It can't be made with modern technology. It has been buried in the soil for many years, and there is no rust at all! Tsk tsk!
"Elius murmured to himself and carefully opened the lid.
Inside the box is a flexible card slot made of an unknown material, embedded with a short transparent crystal tube the size of a thumb, with metal caps at both ends. Inside the tube is a very pure liquid of light, in six colors. Elius knows that this is energy.
"The ancient magic energy festival, the inspiration for the birth of the modern energy festival, is said to be a treasure from the world where the god became a god..." Elius was a little crazy in his thoughts.
"Master, didn't you say you wanted to see the murder scene in person?" Aldrich reminded him from the side.
Elius's expression froze for a moment, and he returned to his old spirit. "Well, yes, I have to see the scene to know if the lost object is related to this item!"
Immorton secretly scolded Elius for being greedy and shameless, but he could only accompany Elius to inspect the excavation site.
In a relatively spacious and flat basement, a series of slate fragments are assembled using mold support. Although incomplete, after this simple piece together, it is not difficult to see that it was once part of a series of cabins.
This kind of slate material is very special. It is between crystal and polished granite stone. The surface layer still retains the luster of glass texture. Magic runes are embedded in the slate, some are large and some are small, arranged in rows and columns, especially
Show mystery
This stone slab is obviously artificial, but there is no place where it is welded and assembled. It is really hard to imagine what kind of craftsmanship is used to make it so complete and natural.
Along with the shell of this cabin, there were also some large and small objects, tables, chairs, metal instruments, etc., which were unearthed. It is extremely difficult to restore those broken and shapeless metal instruments, let alone study their functions.
Therefore, there is no way to determine the original function of this broken cabin.
Elius pretended to investigate, and finally pointed to a piece of soil and vowed: "I feel that the surrounding soil contains special energy radiation. The objects stolen by the enemy should be related to magic, and they are very important!
"
Immorton's nose almost became angry, and an idea came to his mind. He ordered with a sullen face: "Come on, seal all this soil in a crystal box for me to study energy radiation and trace the whereabouts of lost objects!"
Elius's face changed slightly. In fact, there was no so-called special energy radiation at all. It was his bluffing that ended up giving the opponent the advantage in public.
Changing the topic calmly, Elius said: "According to the plan, today is the last night. We try our best to ensure the thorough excavation and full shipment here. This is a great achievement and our current top priority! As for
Those cunning enemies, after the main task is completed, we will settle the accounts with them together with the profit! Now, I order..."
When Imogen heard what Elius said, how could he still not know that he was coaxing and bluffing? He sneered in his heart: "Want to cheat your father? It's not that easy! Damn it, if this old bastard doesn't say anything about this, what a big deal it will be.
Turn a blind eye and let him get some benefits secretly. If he insists on making trouble, I will fight to the death!"
With this idea in mind, in the speech that followed, Immorton explicitly hinted and expressed his attitude. With Elius's sharp thinking, he naturally understood it and followed the good deeds. He and Imogen understood this very well.
The matter was settled in a low-key manner. Of course, the two of them hated the single-handedly bold plunderer and his accomplices to the core, and they unanimously made up their mind that no matter what, they would not spare those people lightly.
people!
Elius and Immorton were not prepared to spare anyone lightly. At this moment, they were thinking of this sentence: Sometimes it is people who do things, and sometimes it is things that help people!
In fact, Neo had no intention of killing Ya Heng, let alone snatching Lao Shizi's relic treasure from his hands. His original intention of venturing into the tunnel was just to confirm whether anyone in the McCann family was still alive.
As the secret room of the ancestral home of the Mammeris family was discovered, Neo thought that the dark minions might conduct a second thorough search of Tulip Town, focusing on secret rooms, cellars, and basements. In the process,
They are likely to use intimidation, inducement, torture and other means to torture the living townspeople. Therefore, in Neo's view, the McCann family is a big loophole. Even if it cannot be remedied, they must be aware of it.
Neo found out that most of the townspeople were driven to dig holes, and exploring such places was not easy. At the very least, he had to divert the attention of the minions of darkness and buy as much time as possible.
So Neo did a second case in the northwest corner of the town, and this time the process was relatively smooth. Afterwards, in order to anger the enemy, Neo took off all the clothes of the two demonizers and stacked them neatly on top of each other.
There, the naked body was hung up, and then carved with a sharp knife on the body: "Wash your neck and wait!"
Because the naked corpse was displayed in a relatively conspicuous place, it was quickly discovered by a passing patrol group. This incident was reported to the police, alarming Elius and Immorton. While heading to the scene, Elius ordered a verification patrol.
group, but it turned out that there was one missing group, and then the murder scene in the ancestral home of the Mammeris family was discovered. After this coming and going, Neo gained enough time, and eavesdropped on tonight's password in the chaos.
After successfully sneaking into the tunnel with a set of dark cultist clothes, Neo did not see old McCann, but when he saw McCann, Neo only felt mixed emotions. He was neither happy nor unhappy.
Originally, Neo's goal was achieved, but in the end, Aldrich captured the young man and asked him to go into the deepest part of the excavation site to get an item. He happened to meet Yaheng who had sent the others away. He had just obtained the secret treasure and was talking happily to himself.
What will happen to me, Yaheng, this time...
As soon as this person was happy, his vigilance was lowered. Originally, Neo Mao barged in blankly, which was very eye-catching. If it were in normal conditions, with Ya Heng's strength and vision, he would definitely have discovered something unusual, such as Neo Mao.
He was wearing armor on the inside and camouflage clothes on the outside. Coupled with the dark cultist's clothing, it was a bit bulky and unnatural.
Neo was also helpless. The only way out was a necromancer who was waiting for Xin'er. He actually prepared a trick of "seeing the enemy in the dark", but when he saw Ya Heng, he felt a little chilled. As a core member, Ya Heng
He is a demon transformer, whose strength is comparable to that of Tatsuta. Even though he has not transformed, he cannot be killed by a crossbow arrow from a long distance. As long as the opponent finds something suspicious and becomes wary, Neo will
Whatever you say, I have to explain it here today.
At that time, Neo felt that his heart was jumping into his throat. He thought about it many times afterwards and felt that he was really lucky at that time. His performance at that time was definitely full of loopholes.
But it happened that Ya Heng was in a good mood. He was thinking about how he could get promoted to a noble position with this secret treasure and become prosperous. He never thought that someone would accidentally stumble into this place and prepare to kill him.
When Ya Heng saw that he was a demon warrior, he relaxed his usual deadpan expression and showed a rare amiable side. Not only did he not blame Neo for trespassing, he also waved him over to ask what happened.
As a result, Neo followed the trend and strode forward, saying that there was something for adults to take a look at, and then used the hand crossbow covered with cloth that had been prepared to hit Yaheng at a very close distance between the eyebrows, so Yaheng
It's ironic that he died of his own 'approachable show'
When Neo came in, he heard Yaheng talking to himself when he was proud. Knowing his name, he killed Yaheng, took the secret treasure, and followed the trend again. When he went out, he met Aldrich who was waiting and lied that Yaheng had made a major discovery.
, ask him to come inside
Just as Elius thought, in the final stage, the goods were shipped. The reason why Aldrich ran out before was actually because he also hid a 'treasure'. His name was that there was a small cell at Research Point 1 in the middle of the tunnel.
The experiment needed him to take care of it on time. To this end, he cleverly dragged a magic warrior into the water to serve as a witness, proving that he was working at Research Site No. 1, but the result was unfair.
It can be seen that Aldrich is also a greedy person, so when Neo made a major discovery, Aldrich did not doubt the deception, and went in happily. What he found in the end was Yaheng's body. When he shouted that there was an assassin,
