The man who came out from behind the dragon gate was unknown to anyone, so he was not a scribe. And after the burns on his body were treated, he still looked crazy, and kept talking about things related to the "giant dragon".
After contacting the ground, Mr. Gilbert hypnotized him briefly, and then used spiritual guidance to try to understand what happened here.
"We came here with the bestowers of the Church of the Sages, and we got separated during the battle. I followed Mr. Alexander, the only one who knew the secret here, and walked into the gate of the phoenix first, but it was just a road full of traps. passage, and later…”
As long as the dragon's gate is not mentioned, this person is fully capable of describing what he knows. And that Mr. Alexander is the leader who organized this group of people to search for Clement's treasure.
He clearly knew the positions of the 7 masks, and he also took out the key leading here.
But no matter how everyone asked, he couldn't tell the specific appearance of Mr. Alexander. It's not that the man hides his face all the time, it's more like he's cursed to be unable to speak.
The information he provided was very important, because the number of people that Mr. Alexander finally assembled was no less than the number of scribes who came here. This is very unreasonable, because he does not need so many helpers to share the final harvest.
The church immediately suspected that there should be a door that required a large-scale sacrificial ceremony to open. After a detailed analysis of the information from the underground hall, they finally determined that their goal was the bronze door with the crown pattern.
"The mask...the crown...it's not..."
Jenkins seemed to understand something, hugged his cat and followed the team into the passage behind the crown bronze door.
Chocolate can't wait.
This passage is very similar to the passage that everyone enters underground, except that there are not so many traps. After deciphering several ancient gear mechanisms, the wall on the left side of the passage that had already come to the end moved to the left with a huge roar, revealing a downward stone door.
Someone had obviously walked through this passage, there was no light behind the stone door, and under the light of the lit kerosene lamp, the passage showed a strange off-white color. Scattered on the steps were bat corpses, the corpses of benefactors, the occasional withered dandelion-like plant, and severed human limbs.
Obviously, most of the people that Mr. Alexander called died here.
Since he was at the back, when Jenkins came to the cliff-like platform at the end of the stone gate, the battle was over.
In fact, it is not a battle. The missing scribes and the illegal bestowers came here almost at the same time, and Mr. Alexander used the mask in his hand to take one thing and left directly.
For the rest of the time, it was just the two groups of people who were left here attacking and defending each other, until the church also found this place.
Walking down the narrow stairs with a bent waist, the first thing you see is the huge abyss in front of you. The remaining instinct in human blood makes everyone resist staring at it. The people who opened up here also did not place lights here, and only relying on candles and kerosene lamps in their hands could not clearly illuminate the whole picture of the darkness in front of them.
Seeing someone using the ability to illuminate, Jenkins also summoned the starry sky ball. But for some reason, everyone's light was far lower than expected, whether it was items or abilities, the extraordinary abilities that glowed were all suppressed. This made the scribes even more vigilant, without anyone warning, they lowered their voices and slowed down spontaneously.
Following Mr. Gilbert's instructions, Jenkins and the others focused the light on the cliff opposite the platform, which was a pure black rock wall. The rock wall is facing the exit of the steps, and there are seven bronze boxes inlaid neatly. One-third of the bronze boxes protrude from the surface of the cliff, and each side has different patterns, but the one that is completely On one side is the indentation of the exact same mask.
The bronze casket in the center has been opened, and the scribes can see the hollow interior.
"Holy Cloth?"
Jenkins entertained himself guessing, but it was clearly not. The [Armor of Courage] he had used before was more like the Holy Cloth in his memory.
Putting down the chocolate for the time being, he went to treat the wounds of the wounded. When he finished his work and turned back to look for his kitten, he found that Chocolate had already stood on the edge of the cliff.
"Oh, chocolate, come here!"
He hurriedly called out, and the cat, which was looking down, hesitated for a moment, then ran back to Jenkins wagging its tail.
"Sir, is this over?"
Everyone has something to do, just recording the situation here and controlling the prisoners is enough trouble. Only Mr. Gilbert stood alone beside the stone wall, looking at the seven boxes illuminated by silver rays.
"No, this is just the beginning."
The middle-aged man frowned, "It's hard to imagine that there will be an abyss at this depth. Where else can this abyss lead? Under the ground of civilization, there is actually nothing..."
"Could it be the kind of civilization living underground in the story? Dwarves?"
Hearing his words, Chocolate in his arms showed a mocking expression, but immediately retracted it, pretending to be a cute and naive cat.
"No, highly intelligent xenomorphs don't live in such a deep underground. Because there are more terrifying things there..."
Mr. Gilbert squatted down, picked up a small stone and threw it down. Except for the sound of collision with the rock wall nearby, there was no response.
"This matter is very serious. Even the church does not know that there is such a place so close to Beldyran... The ruins here cannot be built by the ancient robber. Although he was very famous in that era, he also There is no such power...”
Jenkins also poked his head downward at this time, and below the abyss was a deeper darkness. For the sake of safety, he did not control the ball of light downward, because no one can guarantee what will be disturbed by doing so.
"There is also the missing Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Dagger who didn't appear here. The latter is better, maybe it's just an ordinary criminal. It's good to check the past arrest warrants when you go back. But since the former can plan this This kind of thing must not be a simple character. In fact, I am more curious about what he got from here?"
