Lord of War

This bounty hunter team, after all, there is still a gap.

Sean didn't feel much about it, as the Black King said, Sean's strength would not encounter any danger in the entire Ryan Kingdom. What he is more interested in now is what is in the underground tomb that has attracted so many people to explore. Of course, what I hope more is that I can find clues about Elizabeth and the Marquis of Floris there, so that at least I won't make a trip in vain.

However, compared to Xiao En's indifferent attitude, Yun's attitude is even more thought-provoking.

As the nominal captain and leader of the team, she had no intention of eliminating the confrontation and estrangement in the team, but turned a blind eye to it. As a result, the distrust and antagonism in the team naturally gradually began to produce a reaction similar to a qualitative change: Phil and the big man have begun to keep a distance from Sean, and Anna's attitude towards Sean is not bad, but It also began to subconsciously maintain an appropriate distance.

Sean reckoned that if it wasn't for the fact that he had some exchanges with Anna in terms of swordsmanship, Anna's attitude might not be much better than that of Phil and the big man.

Of course, this kind of communication is mainly based on Anna asking for advice.

Sean still has a good impression of this girl who is keen on swordsmanship.

Although this kind of favorable impression came from some inexplicable reasons, Xiao En guessed that this should be a side effect of being a "sword master": for people who use swords, he always has a comforting mentality that the elders look at the younger ones. But that's all there is to it. Apart from regular discussion and advice on swordsmanship, Anna has no other contact with Sean, and Sean doesn't care much about it.

So this weird bounty team continued to rush towards the location of the underground tomb with this strange atmosphere.

This time, there were no accidents during the several-day itinerary. Except that Sean found an excuse to go out to meet the head of the area, and issued a new order - temporarily abandon the confrontation with the Kingdom of Ryan, and go all out to assist the Principality of Garrod, and at the same time, do a good job of defending against possible flank attacks by the Kingdom of Ryan : After all, Tonis Fortress is too close to Sean's territory. If it is a mountain division unit that is used to rushing and crossing mountains, it will take about a week to march quickly to reach the Void City.

This point has to be guarded against.

Other than that, nothing happens.

The whole team arrived at the entrance of the underground tomb that Yun mentioned without any danger.

Unlike Xiao En's imagination, the entrance of the catacombs is not under any ruins, but in a cave formed by a collapse.

Judging from the position of the cave entrance, it can be clearly seen that the mausoleum itself is isolated from the surrounding terrain. It is built about 300 meters deep underground in the cave, and there is a drop of more than 300 meters from the ground. Moreover, the entrance of the mausoleum is not the main entrance passage, but a returning soul corridor on the first floor of the mausoleum. The damage at the entrance is a gap that was forcibly pierced through by force.

In Miracle Continent, the dead have different burial methods according to their status.

Like slaves and the like, once they die and throw them in the suburbs, it will be over.

Poor people such as the poor may have a burial place, perhaps a monastery or the like, or land on the outskirts of the city. Only those civilians who have affiliation with faith are eligible to enter the monastery or the requiem of the temple for burial.

If they are civilians without believers, they can only be buried in places like monasteries.

Ordinary nobles can be buried in ancestral lands or in temples and monasteries.

Those who are eligible to build mausoleums are generally high-ranking aristocrats, such as earls and above who have real estate, or marquises, dukes, and royal family members who have real power. The size of the mausoleum is generally not limited, as long as you have money, you can build it however you want, but generally the default is around four floors, and only the royal family will build five-story underground tombs.

Of course, some careerists are exceptions.

The standard construction method of this type of underground tomb is the returning soul corridor composed of long corridors and corridors. The first floor generally consists of two small and one large three rooms, and the larger one passes through the mausoleum guard hall on the second floor. , the two smaller ones are symmetrically shaped funerary rooms: mainly for placing some utensils and the like. The second floor also has three rooms, two small and one large, the big one is the confessional hall leading to the next floor, and the two small ones are still burial rooms, but the funerary objects have changed from utensils and the like to jewelry.

Starting from the third floor, the structure depends on the overall specifications of the mausoleum.

Taking the four-story structure of the mausoleum as a scale, the third floor will become a structure of two large and two small rooms. One of the two large rooms is the rest hall leading to the fourth floor, and the other is the clan coffin hall, which is used to store the tablets and coffins of the family masters. The two smaller ones are also burial rooms, but because every time someone in the family dies and is buried, these two burial rooms will be opened to put in new funeral objects, so the general reserves will be larger than the first two floors.

The fourth layer will become a structure of three large and two small. The two small rooms are still burial rooms, and the three large ones are the final hall, which symbolizes the end of life. The sub-hall where only sons and heirs can be buried.

If it is a five-story scale, the layout of the third and fourth floors of the four-story scale structure is moved down by one floor, and then increased from one auxiliary hall to two. The layout of the vacated third floor will also be transformed into two large rooms and two small rooms. It is regarded as a sealed place, used to seal the powerful evil spirit and dead energy in the mausoleum, and maintain the rest and stability of the souls of the entire underground tomb.

When bounty hunters or tomb robbers find such a tomb, they will definitely empty out all the contents of the funeral room.

The burial objects accumulated by the tomb families alone are usually worth tens of millions of gold coins. If it is a prestigious family or a royal tomb, the value of the burial objects will even increase several times to more than ten times. And the further down the mausoleum, the higher the value of the burial objects. This is why once someone finds this kind of tomb, they will continue to dig deeper. The purpose is naturally for those burial objects, but if you encounter a five-story tomb If so, the third layer is generally avoided.

The third floor of the five-story mausoleum is also known as the layer of balance and the layer of succession.

The structure of the four rooms is arranged in the direction of southeast and northwest, and the east and west sides are the small rooms of the funerary room, also known as the symmetrical offering room. The Hall of Listening and the Sealed Land are said to symbolize the dual worlds of the living and the dead—the living lead to the next level, and the dead lead to the kingdom of the underworld. The existence of the offerings is to ensure that the seals between the seals will not be broken. It is a balancing measure and a kind of respect for the owner of the tomb.

However, when he entered the cave, Xiao En had already deliberately observed the cloud.

Only from Yun's calm and indifferent expression, Xiao En didn't find anything suspicious. On the contrary, Phil and the others all showed excitement. This kind of performance is the normal reaction of a bounty hunter—bounty hunter and demon hunter, which one is not forced to do it for money?

In this way, it made Yun's purpose and actions even more suspicious.

But just when Xiao En was going to observe Luo's expression, the assassin escaped into the darkness one step earlier, and also distanced himself from Yun and the others, obviously to investigate the situation first.

"The situation is normal." Luo quickly sent a feedback message, "There is no ambush."

After confirming the safety, everyone entered directly through the gap in the cave.

Xiao En also deliberately observed this aspect. This cave was not formed naturally, and even the collapse was not a natural behavior. The air is filled with the breath of different energy, but Sean is not a professional magician after all, so he can't distinguish the specific information of these energy breaths. The only thing he can confirm is that the composition of these different energy is extremely complicated, and the There are even some situations where neutralization reactions occur with each other, which increases the difficulty of energy discrimination.

But for Sean, who has never pursued the process very much, he is convinced at this moment that the rediscovery of this catacomb is by no means a simple accidental exposure.

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help looking at Yun who was walking ahead.

As if aware of it, Yun turned his head and glanced at Xiao En, and even showed an indifferent smile.

At this moment, Sean suddenly felt a throbbing feeling.

The obvious abnormal flow of the surrounding air, as well as the sudden boiling of blood in the body as if ignited, all fully demonstrated the changes in the atmosphere of the mausoleum at this moment. The tingling sensations from all over his body made Sean feel that danger was approaching, but Sean couldn't tell where the danger was coming from. The only thing he could feel was this underground tomb. The breath was very chaotic, to the point where it disturbed his perception.

During the time when Xiao En was so dazed, the team had already advanced a long distance.

Obviously, they already knew something about the situation on the first floor, so they were not particularly concerned and vigilant. Even the sloppy aura on them is clearly visible, they don't look like professional bounty hunters at all.

What was different from these people was that Sean's muscles were tense all over, and even the Eye of Truth, which hadn't been opened for a long time, was opened again. It was completely prepared for battle, and his breathing rate was constantly adjusted. Apart from not revealing his true strength, Sean was already at the peak state of his current strength. .

"Don't be nervous." Yun didn't know when, and suddenly appeared beside Xiao En, "We have explored the first and second floors, and cleared traps and other mechanisms, as long as Detective Luo is not in ambush If that's the case, we can pass through with confidence....The only trouble is that we are on the third floor, and it is because we have found a way to enter the third floor first, that's why Ghost Eye and Thunder Dragon are targeting us like that."

The underground mausoleum, the entry of each floor is not a simple matter.

After all, no mausoleum owner would want his mausoleum to be destroyed and harassed. At the same time, in order to prevent some guys who are proficient in undead magic from disturbing the rest of the dead, they will lay down layers of traps in the mausoleum. If you want to go to the burial room to take away the funerary objects, you have to find a way to break through the door to the next floor, and according to the preferences of the mausoleum builders, these traps will also be different.

The most common is the real door and false door trap.

After all, the space between each floor of the mausoleum is huge, and the middle part can completely build another space layer. The most common method of false doors is that they can only enter but not exit. Once they enter the false door by mistake, they usually have to pay a lot of money to return.

Therefore, the value of finding a real door that can correctly lead to the lower layer is completely inestimable.

Yun's words are full of logic and rationality, and there are no flaws or loopholes at all.

But for some reason, his intuition did tell Sean that the words of the woman in front of him were absolutely unbelievable.

"After all, I'm used to walking alone. It's just a conditioned reflex." Xiao En smiled, and did not relax his vigilance as Yun said, but became more vigilant towards Yun, "But I I don't think there's anything wrong with that... After all, there's nothing wrong with being cautious."

"That's right." Yun nodded, didn't say anything more, then passed Xiao En and continued to walk forward.

Sean's expression remained the same, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

He slowed down his breathing rhythm, letting his tense muscles gradually relax, but he didn't relax completely. He still maintained a high concentration of attention and spirit to guard against possible sudden attacks around him.

And in his retina, a light yellow halo basically appeared on Phil and the others, which represented a neutral color, with different shades. Although this neutral attitude means that there is no hostility towards Sean, it is not very friendly. At least this is in line with everyone's current attitude towards Sean. The only ones that have changed significantly are Anna and Yun.

The color of the former is much lighter, showing light yellow mixed with light green, which is obviously a slightly friendly sign.

As for the cloud, there is a little reddish in the light yellow, which is obviously hostile towards Xiao En. Moreover, these reddish colors were not present at the beginning, but the colors that emerged after Yun persuaded Xiao En to relax his guard to no avail.

This made Sean even more vigilant about the cloud.

Especially after leaving the first floor and directly entering the second floor, the aura emanating from Yun's body became obviously more dangerous than before. Although this level still cannot threaten Sean, his intuition is telling Sean that the situation is obviously developing in an unfriendly direction.

This subtle tense atmosphere stimulated the continuous secretion of Sean's adrenal glands. Even if the skill of adrenal stimulation was not activated, Sean felt an unprecedented excitement and fullness of spirit.
