Noble Emblem

Duke looked very ugly. He put back the wooden boards at the entrance, and then pretended to make it almost the same as before. Then he walked back to the tower as if nothing had happened and asked his team to wake up the stunned guardians.

Cuckold Locke took the opportunity to secretly ask: "What happened to Captain, your expression is very wrong."

Something was definitely wrong. Only three people in the mercenary group knew about this entrance. Now someone slipped in silently. He had to suspect that there was a spy in the mercenary group. But the problem is that it is impossible for the leader to tell others the news. After all, the entire mercenary group is his private property, and it is impossible for him to share his property with outsiders.

The other is the wise man in the mercenary group, the high mage Wu Puer. It is impossible for him. He is the son of the group leader. As the legal heir of the mercenary group, it is impossible for him to tell outsiders about this entrance. So after excluding the two most unlikely people who betrayed the secret, the most likely person to be the mole is himself.

When he thought of this, Duke's face became even more ugly. He had even begun to wonder if he had been 'framed' by the leader's family. Deliberately telling outsiders the secret of the entrance, and then pushing the matter onto him so that he can take the opportunity to kill him. Duke thought about what he had done in the past few years. Indeed, he had secretly embezzled the property of many mercenary groups, nearly a hundred gold coins, but this crime would not lead to death. If the group leader really wanted to take advantage of this To get rid of him, he must be prepared in advance. If something goes wrong, he will immediately take the opportunity to escape.

While he was thinking this, a lavender magic signal rose over Songfeng City. Because the sun had completely set at this time, the signal was extremely conspicuous in the sky.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the woods, and soon seven people appeared in front of the tower. The leader was a bearded middle-aged man. Wearing the common standard chain armor, he has a burly body, a long face, and a very vicissitudes of life. At first glance, he looks like a very majestic and courageous leader-level figure.

beside him. He is a fair-skinned young man, wearing a drab magic robe. He has a delicate appearance and a bright smile. At first glance, he looks like a very gentle and polite young man. In fact, this is also the case. Although he is the heir of the mercenary group, he has never acted superior to others. No matter who he meets, he always smiles first, making it the first time people see him. I felt that this person was quite comfortable.

Seven people jumped off their horses. The leader of the White Bear mercenary team walked up to Duke and asked, "What happened?"

Duke told the whole story, and then continued: "I have re-disguised the entrance. My team members don't know that there is an entrance to the ruins behind the tower. Now I am just thinking, except for us Three people, who else knows the direction of this entrance."

The mercenary leader's gaze moved up and down Duke's body like spikes. He asked doubtfully: "Duke, you seem nervous?"

Every muscle in Duke's body became more tense: "Haha, Captain. Are you kidding me?"

The mercenary leader showed a smile on his lips and said: "Don't be nervous, I don't doubt you. Someone knows this secret entrance. It's not necessarily us who leaked it ourselves, but they may have guessed it from our usual actions. You are We are an old man in the mercenary group, how could I doubt you."

Duke breathed a sigh of relief. He said gratefully: "Thank you, captain, for your trust. I will take you to the entrance now."

After finishing speaking, Duke turned around and walked towards the entrance of the ruins, but before he took two steps, his body suddenly stopped. Then he lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the bloody sword tip on his chest. The vision in front of him gradually turned white, then black, and then he couldn't understand anything at all.

The mercenary leader waved his hand and raised Duke's body with his long sword and threw it aside. He said coldly: "Only the three of us know the secret of the entrance. Since it is impossible for my son and I, who else can it be but you! "

The handsome Wu Puer came over. He looked at Duke's body and said with a painful expression: "Father, I don't think Duke has been exposed. There are no eternal secrets in this world. Even God's private affairs will be spread to the public." In the human world, not to mention that our White Bear Mercenary Group has occupied Beichen Forest for such a long time, it is not a strange thing for a smart person to find the secret entrance."

"Son, you have been studying magic in the Yellow Magic Tower. The people there are noble and proud, worship powerful power, and think that with power, all the conspiracies and tricks in the world are boring. It is normal to disdain the small plots in the world. But Your current strength is not to the point where you can despise everything. I will teach you a truth now. In order to eradicate unnecessary troubles, you must kill everyone with doubts, whether he is an innocent person or a real suspect. .”

Upur closed his eyes with a heavy expression: "Father, this is too cruel, I can't do it."

The mercenary captain looked at his son's expression with both relief and helplessness.

At this time, the team members finally discovered that Duke was dead. They were all surprised and looked at everything in front of them in disbelief. The mercenary leader walked over and said: "Duke colluded with outsiders and leaked the biggest secret of our mercenary group. I have killed him. Now we are going to hunt down the outsiders who broke into our territory. If you If you are willing, just close your eyes and follow us, if not, just die here."

Locke and several team members looked at each other a few times, made brief eye contact, and then they closed their eyes at the same time.

The mercenary leader waved his hand, and several members behind him walked over and covered the eyes of the Duke players with rags, and then they also covered their own eyes.

Upur took one more look at Duke's body, and then let out a long sigh. He cast a mental spell on the blindfolded people. These people felt themselves flying up, and the whistling wind blew around them. With the wind blowing across their faces, they flew for a long, long time before landing on the ground.

But in fact, they didn't move at all. Finally, Upur ended the magic, let them walk hand in hand to the entrance of the ruins, and ordered them to jump in one by one.

After everyone entered the underground passage, Upur covered the entrance and waited until they walked through the underground passage. After completely entering the ruins, the mercenary leader asked these people to remove the black cloth covering his eyes.

Then they were stunned by what they saw.

The mercenary leader didn't let them have much time to be surprised. He then cuckolded and said: "Locke, follow their footprints and find them. We will follow you."

"No problem!" Locke was indeed a professional scout. He squatted on the ground. He picked up the soil on the ground with his hands, took a taste, and then said: "Captain, they have been away from here for more than an hour. One of them is a spell caster. I feel the magic elements are cheering."

Liang Lidong did use magic, but it was a magic scroll and a small-scale light magic. Can increase the subject's movement speed and slightly reduce weight. It can save a lot of energy when traveling for a long time.

This ruins is exactly the same as in the game three hundred years ago, without any changes, and time seems to have frozen here. Everyone is a relatively agile person, and they have the effect of lightness, so they move very fast.

Liang Lidong led everyone to walk in this huge ruins, turning left and right without a moment's hesitation. They avoided many gathering points of monsters. It had been nearly two hours since they entered the ruins, and they had yet to experience a single battle.

Catalina followed Liang Lidong. He asked softly: "Your Excellency is very familiar with this place. Have you been here before?"

"I've been here before. It was during my time as a mercenary." Liang Lidong replied casually: "My friends and I spent a lot of effort to find out the terrain here and the distribution of magical beasts. It cost us almost the entire time. In a week, so to speak, the topography of this place has been memorized in my head.”

In the game back then, Liang Lidong and his friends went to the center of the ruins to get water from the Guangming Well. After dying an average of three times in this ruins, I finally got the water from the Well of Light. In fact, the reason why this task was so difficult was because they didn't know the distribution of Warcraft at the time, and they walked into the territory of those difficult Warcraft several times, and were crushed by extremely powerful Warcraft, or were overwhelmed by an extremely large number of small monsters. The monsters chased him everywhere.

Liang Lidong came with two tasks this time. One was to obtain some rare alchemy materials, and the other was to retrieve Guangming Well water for Tina.

The alchemy material used to make 'Tifa's Bracelet' is called 'Luminous Mushroom', which grows in darkness, but where a large number of light elements gather. There are very few environments that can meet these two conditions, and one of them is the ruins of the Zuze Kingdom with the 'Bright Well Water'.

Liang Lidong led everyone to rush left and right. In the silent underground ruins, except for the occasional roar of a monster from a distance, the only sound left was the sound of their footsteps stepping on the ground.

Such sound spreads in all directions, and then comes back as an echo. If you listen carefully for a long time, you will feel that there are people walking towards you from all directions. This is a hearing illusion, which is easy to do in a quiet place. There will appear, especially shabby people.

After walking for a while, Catalina couldn't bear it. In fact, not only her, but also several of her subordinates looked constipated.

"How far is it from the first goal?" Katarina asked.

"We're here!" Liang Lidong suddenly stopped.

In front of them was a grand temple, a pyramid-shaped altar made entirely of dark blue boulders. This pyramid-shaped altar is about two hundred meters high. In front of them is a door that is only half closed. Looking through the other half of the door, it was dark inside, as scary as the open throat of an evil spirit.

"After entering from here, there will be a staircase leading to the altar. There are thirty-seven floors in total. The alchemy materials I need will probably grow before the seventeenth to twentieth floors. The quantity is not much. I estimate that if I collect them all, it should be It's enough for me. The second mission target is on top of the altar. It's a spring, a very precious spring, I need it."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go up now. I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment longer!" One of the assassins said impatiently.

Catalina stared at her subordinate fiercely, and then she asked: "There will be danger inside, right?"

"Yes!" Liang Lidong pointed to the top of the altar and said, "There is a kind of bug living here, which looks similar to the white cabbage bug we usually see, but the bugs here are very big. The bottom bug is about 10 feet long. Half a meter. The closer to the top, the bigger the bugs get. I remember that the bugs on the top should be four meters long. They are Warcraft. They know some attack magic of the light system and are quite powerful. What's even more disgusting is that they are used to the darkness. The world, so the hearing and vibration sensitivity are very powerful, and it is almost impossible for us to sneak through it."

"That means we can only force our way in?" Katarina asked.

Liang Lidong nodded: "Yes, that's why I hired you. When it comes to fighting in the dark, no professional can be your opponent."

Catalina smiled: "You have a good plan. We are indeed good at fighting in the dark, but what about you? You are a spell caster. Don't you have to use magic like light spell?"

"These bugs are all light monsters. Although they live in darkness, they yearn for light. If they see a bright light source, they will revel, even go berserk, and rush towards the light source regardless of anything. In that case , we will be very passive."

"For battle, we need formation configuration." Catalina looked at Liang Lidong: "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Liang Lidong said: "You are professionals, I listen to you."

Catalina nodded with satisfaction. It was a pleasure to work with experienced people. At least they would not rush to perform or point fingers at random. She looked at her subordinates, and then said: "Old rules, one-two-three formation, Mr. Beta, you follow us."

Liang Lidong nodded.

The so-called one-two-three formation is actually the sharp arrow formation. After several people took their positions, seven people walked into the entrance of the altar. It was dark inside. It took a while for everyone's eyes to adapt to the almost complete darkness. world. They didn't go far when they saw a bug with a faint fluorescent light crawling in front of them.

Generally speaking, light magic beasts will emit a white fluorescent light, which is a sign that the light magic element in their body is the majority.

No one moved around anymore, and even their breathing slowed down. The bug should have crawled ten meters in front of them, but for some reason, it suddenly stopped and faced where Liang Lidong and others were. Position, half of the body was erect, swinging slightly from side to side, as if looking for something. (To be continued...)
