Chapter 293 Eternal Underground Palace

 …

 Matthew was in no hurry to explore.

 After experiencing opening fields so many times, he is already familiar with the rules of exploring fields.

 If more exploration opportunities are accumulated, it will be possible to explore deeper into the field.

  Comparatively.

 The randomness of a single exploration is greater, there may be a lack of choice space, and it is impossible to go further to obtain higher results—

 Since taking possession of the authority of a loving father.

 Matthew’s desire for authority exceeded his domain ability.

at the same time.

 The grave is an area specifically marked by Matthew.

　　Previously, he obtained information about the Secret of Life from the God of Travelers. The coordinates pointed by the latter were clearly the large tombs in the Demonic Domain of Ravenloft.

 That is Viscount Fan’s territory.

But it is also the place where the dead brother Olorin that Matthew came into contact with when he first entered the tomb realm.

 At that time, Matthew was very curious about Olorin's identity, although according to the latter, he seemed to be just an ordinary person.

But Matthew believed that it was impossible for a mortal to survive in such a dangerous place as Ravenloft.

 Oluolin must have its own uniqueness.

If possible, Matthew hopes to accumulate more opportunities to explore the tomb realm, in order to increase the probability of meeting Olorin again.

“I’m going to enter the tomb next. As long as I’m more diligent, there should be a high probability of triggering the tomb realm again…”

　　thinking so.

Matthew took the shovel and stepped into the gate first, followed by the others.

 Behind the gate of the underground palace is a long corridor.

There are murals and stone carvings on both sides of the corridor. Most of the paintings on them are about singing praises and virtues, seeming to record the great achievements of a certain troll priest.

 According to Linden.

The content on the stone carving points to the lifelong achievements of a troll prince who was responsible for stationing in the territory of the elves.

However, Matthew and others couldn't see where the power was after looking at it for a long time.

After all, the content on the mural is either a group of trolls holding a divine meeting.

 Either the trolls are driving other second-class races such as humans and elves to work in the wild mountains and forests.

Perhaps the trolls will seem to have a sense of empathy.

But in the eyes of humans, these deeply commemorated trolls are closer to the category of devils and demons, which are purely negative images.

 At the end of the corridor is a huge stone wall.

The thickness of the stone wall is comparable to the five stone gates outside. The wall spreads to both sides, forming two diagonally downward passages.

Matthew threw out a mage's eye and took a look.

These two passages made a ninety-degree turn at the end, and then headed towards the end in an almost intersecting manner.

 Roughly, it forms a diamond-shaped road.

And the center of this diamond is the first tomb chamber on the first floor of the underground palace!

"According to our prior understanding, there are at least three to six tombs on each floor of the troll underground palace. The tombs are relatively safe. The most dangerous place is the passage leading to the tomb. There are countless mechanisms buried here..."

Stanley pointed to an inconspicuous corner ahead and reminded:

"There is a dragon fire trap there. If we rush over there, the walls on both sides will spray out a large amount of spreading, dragon's breath-like flames to cleanse all life!"

 “I could try to dismantle most of the traps, but that would take time.”

Matthew nodded after hearing this.

At this moment, he pointed the sharp end of the shovel at the stone wall facing him:

“So this is the first tomb behind this, right?”

Stanley swallowed.

 He already knew what Matthew was going to do next:

"Yes."

“There are no traps or traps in the stone wall, right?”

Matthew asked cautiously.

 Stanley shook his head:

“Normal tomb owners would not set traps in the walls. The Troll Empire is even older, so I don’t think they would be able to guard against this.”

 Matthew confirmed with Lorraine again and got the latter's approval.

 He showed a knowing smile again:

 “So sometimes it’s better to be direct.”

“If we just move this wall away, wouldn’t the problem be solved?”

The voice fell.

He skillfully wielded the shovel and began to dig on the stone wall.

The tree planting shovel is really sharp beyond imagination.

This thing cuts stone just like cutting butter. Matthew didn't even need to put in much effort and just cut a shallow door shape into the wall.

　　followed by.

Matthew dug in the direction of the surrounding area.

 After digging out a space that was almost as spacious as the corridor, he started digging vertically again.

 Less than ten minutes.

Matthew successfully hollowed out the wall. Except for two stone pillars left as load-bearing materials, he ordered the undead to move all the remaining stones.

These stones are all good things left over from the era of the Troll Empire.

 Their own strength may be average.

However, due to being buried underground for a long time, they are deeply corroded and assimilated by negative energy, so they are very suitable for building buildings in cemeteries and strengthening ceremonial venues related to negative energy.

“The Necromancer does have a unique advantage in robbing tombs. If I want, I can even draw more people from the cemetery and empty the tomb directly!”

“The labor that the undead, especially zombies, can provide is really rare in tomb robbing operations…”

Matthew ordered the undead to carry the stones while placing a teleportation stone tablet at the entrance of the underground palace.

 After debugging, he found that due to the emerald green barrier left by the elves, the effect of the teleportation stone tablet was not very stable.

But as long as he spends more time, he can still make the zombies carry everything back.

 Leave a few zombies to guard the teleportation tombstone.

 Matthew quickly turned back underground.

 At this time, everyone has arrived in the first tomb chamber.

After Stanley and Lorraine teamed up to eliminate several gas traps, they successively announced that the threat in the tomb had been eliminated.

 The rest are allowed to move around freely.

Linden stood in front of a stone tablet and consciously interpreted the content on the stone tablet for Carmela next to him:

“The tombstone says that those buried in this underground palace are His Royal Highness the Holy Prince Philip, the third highest priest of the Troll Empire, chief mage, and his retainers and heirs.”

“This Prince Philip is said to be eight meters tall and has mastered the ability to have **** with the God of Pur at a young age?

This should be a divine connection, right?

 I’m not sure…

Trolls usually use rough words. They even use the same word for eating and shitting, but the tone is different.

The tombstone states that Prince Philip’s greatest contribution was the introduction of foreign women to the Theosophical Assembly, in order to alleviate the tension caused by troll women’s reluctance to participate in Theosophical Assembly at the end of the empire.

 It is said that he himself even persuaded his friend, the Elf Queen at that time, to also participate in the troll's theosophy conference.

 At first the Elf Queen was reluctant.

 She participated in the next few times with her daughter, and it was all thanks to Prince Philip.

 Damn what is written in this!

 This must be a slur!

 Slander!

How could the Elf Queen attend the Theosophy Convention of Trolls? !

 What a piece of shit! "

As he was translating, Linden suddenly became furious.

 He slapped the surface of the stone tablet awkwardly.

 As a result, because he was too fragile, the stone tablet was not in good shape, and his own right hand showed signs of slight fracture.

“Isn’t it surprising that the Elf Queen attended the Theosophical Conference?”

not far away.

Daisy, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly spoke leisurely:

“You told me before that even the great elves were enslaved by the trolls for more than two hundred years.”

“Since we are all slaves, of course it is not up to us to decide what we want to do.”

Linden had anger on his face, but for some reason, his lips trembled violently, but he did not refute Daisy's words.

 “Compared to the Elf Queen, I think they are more pitiable.”

Daisy stretched out her hand and pointed to the north of the tomb.

There is a large collapsed space there.

Everyone came over to take a look, and saw that there were countless white bones in the cold pit!

These bones are thick and thin, large and small, and have different parts.

Even people who don’t know much about biology can tell at a glance that these bones come from different humanoid races.

“Humans, dwarves, hobgoblins, and bound elf zombies...are they all burial objects?”

 Daisy sighed softly.

Linden said nothing.

 The expressions of the rest of the people were full of seriousness.

Just from this tomb, it is not difficult to get a glimpse of the brutal rule of the Troll Empire.

“Perhaps the gods at that time, even the Purgatory, were relatively advanced compared to the Troll Empire…”

 It stands to reason that Matthew should be happy to see so many bones.

But when he thought that behind these skeletons were innocent victims, the joy in his heart disappeared, replaced by endless sighs and emotions.

 He just checked.

 The first tomb chamber is mainly composed of three parts—

 The central area is used to store more than a dozen coffins, the largest of which are two large and three small coffins;

 The pit area is full of bones of the victims. Apart from the bones, the most valuable ones are the figurines used to bind the elves!

These zombies are a natural breeding ground for the undead.

With a little processing, Matthew can summon a group of banshees through them;

The funerary area has four separate rooms for storing funerary objects, most of which are locked boxes, as well as some pottery and paintings;

“These boxes are not only locked, but also have a very vicious curse of corpse transformation. Anyone who touches the items may quickly become an undead and eventually become a member of the tomb guard.”

 Outside the funerary area.

Carmela pointed to the treasure box inside and introduced it.

 Finished.

She walked in swaggeringly, and then opened a treasure box at will.

There is a crisp sound.

 While everyone looked at her in surprise, Carmela just used a strange force to tear open the lock of the treasure chest.

　　followed by.

 A large amount of ore comes into view—

 Saint's Stone, Heart of the Dead, Tears of the King, Farro Mithril, Azalea Sand...

 See these gems.

 Everyone’s breathing could not help but become tight.

 You must know that these are very precious and rare magic gems!

 The key is to fill the whole box with them!

 If we estimate its value, this box may exceed 1.2 million gold coins!

 Not to mention that each of the four rooms has a similar treasure chest!

 Another younger brother of Stanley rolled his eyes and quietly took two steps back. However, before he could sneak into the second room, he was grabbed by the back of his neck by a huge force!

 “What do you want to do? Go and die?!”

Stanley's face was pressed tightly against the young man's nose, and he said in an almost growling manner.

“No, boss, I just want to open my eyes.”

The younger brother said sarcastically.

 “Didn’t you hear her say that there is a corpse-turning curse on it?”

 Stanley's eyes were full of disappointment.

 The younger brother scratched his head:

 “I think she’s fine.”

These words immediately made Stanley's nostrils a little bit thicker.

 He just wanted to scold his younger brother.

He saw Carmela walking out of the room leisurely.

　　When passing by two people.

 Carmela stopped suddenly.

Stanley and his younger brother's breathing became tight.

Unexpectedly, Carmela actually said to Stanley very gently:

 “There’s no need to be so nervous.”

 “If you don’t let him try it, how will he know if it will work?”

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t handle it. I happen to be a priest and am very good at saving people’s lives. I can remove the curse for a thousand gold coins once. Except for Linden, each of you can try it by touching it!”

 The two of them were silent.

 Until Carmela left.

Stanley quickly took out a white mouse from his sleeve.

 He threw the white mouse on top of the treasure chest.

 In an instant.

 A thick green smoke rose up.

Thick smoke poured into the body of the white rat. The latter twitched twice and quickly stiffened and died!

 The younger brother's eyes suddenly widened.

 Another ten seconds passed.

 The dead white mouse suddenly waved its forelimbs stiffly, and then slowly got up from the ground.

 It turned into a zombie rat!

This time the younger brother was completely scared.

He was about to say something, but at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew in from outside the tomb!

 Everyone took a closer look.

It was a rotten bird!

This bird is still shedding blood feathers as it flies, but its feathers seem to be endless, and they have not yet finished falling off all over the ground.

 “Outsiders!”

 “Why did you come in here?”

 The rotten bird stopped on the largest coffin and asked menacingly.

Matthew glanced at him and replied in a relaxed tone:

 “We are here to rob the tomb.”

　　Bang!

 One of the Rotbird's eyes explodes.

 His voice was filled with more anger:

 “I am the guardian of the underground palace!”

 “How dare you disturb the underground palace?”

 “How dare you blaspheme the dead?”

At this time Linden jumped out and said eagerly:

"Lord Guardian, I am not the same as them. I am an archaeologist, and they are real tomb robbers!"

“Honestly, I think you are wrong. It’s okay to come in and look for things. You still have to respect the dead...”

Matthew looked at Lyndon strangely:

 “Why respect?”

Linden’s eyes widened:

“Put yourself in his shoes, if you were the owner of the tomb, wouldn’t you hate the tomb robbers who will rob you hundreds and thousands of years later?”

Matthew nodded:

“It’s true what you said, but why should I put myself in the shoes of the owner of this tomb?”

“Why should I empathize with these princes, generals, ministers, and dignitaries from who knows how many years ago?”

“I am a necromancer, and I keep company with a lot of skeletons and zombies every day. When I summoned the undead that ordinary people became after death, you didn’t tell me that this was a blasphemy.”

“Why does it become a kind of blasphemy for me to go to the tomb of a big man to do the same thing?”

Linden was speechless after being retorted by Matthew.

At this moment he turned to look at Luo Lan:

"And you?"

“Aren’t you a poet? You consider yourself an artist. Do you also think that robbing tombs is right?”

Loland was holding his green piccolo in his mouth, holding the Book of Hebrew Cards in his hand, looking like he was thinking hard.

 Hear this.

 He rolled his eyes directly at Linden:

 “It’s none of my business!”

Linden was very angry and shook his head again, as if he wanted to find someone to support his remarks.

However, what he saw this time was Carmela who was rolling up her sleeves.

Linden was immediately frightened and could only stamp his feet on the spot angrily:

 “I don’t share the same common sense as you uneducated people!”

 Then he ran and hid behind Stanley and Daisy.

Matthew didn't bother to argue with the lunatic. If this guy hadn't had some real stuff in his belly, he would have left him somewhere long ago.

At the moment he faced the rotten bird.

 On the data column.

 …

“Hint: You encountered a clone of the tomb guardian “The Banshee”.

  Warning: The Banshee is summoning a skeletal beast through remote spells! "

 …

 Sue death for the banshee?

“It seems that the elves transformed into the undead and finally stayed in the tomb and became loyal guards.”

 Matthew had already put away the zombies in the pit—

No one was trying to **** this thing from him, and in the process he also found that many of the zombies were empty, which meant that some elves had been transformed into the undead.

  Rustling.

With the blessing of a magical energy, a tornado began to blow in the pit.

 The bones rose up in the wind and formed the frame of a huge creature in mid-air!

"Do you need help?!"

Stanley cautiously came over.

Matthew nodded:

"needs."

Stanley was very wise. He saw that Lorraine was thinking about the article, and Carmela seemed not so easy to deal with, so he took the initiative to say to Matthew:

 “Just tell me if you have anything.”

Matthew pointed backward quickly:

“Take your people and exit this tomb quickly. My next spells may accidentally injure you.”

 “Remember to keep an eye on Lyndon.”

Stanley was stunned for a moment:

"this one?"

 “Don’t you need anything else?”

Matthew looked at the skeletal beast that was gradually taking shape and the rotting bird sitting on the coffin, and said firmly:

"no need."

Stanley decisively ordered everyone to retreat.

He sent the others away with his super high movement speed, but then he himself stayed.

 “You go too!”

 “Be careful of accidental injury.”

Matthew reminded.

 Stanley pointed at Lorraine and Carmela:

"where are they?"

Matthew shrugged:

“If they were accidentally injured by me, I would suspect it was a case of accident.”

Stanley no longer hesitated and left quickly.

Matthew turned around and faced the ferocious skeletal beast.

The appearance of this thing is close to that between the abomination and the bone dragon, a bit like a suture monster made of countless white bone blocks.

 It looks quite scary.

The tomb is indeed very capable of fighting in this three-acre area.

However-

 "Level 4 Spell: Bone-Cracking Howl"!

When Matthew's short chant sounded in the tomb, the summons of the skeleton beast came to an end.

 When the giant beast finally fully formed and pounced on Matthew.

 The latter suddenly opened his mouth.

 Suddenly.

A burst of extremely sharp sound waves shattered the soul fire of the skeletal beast!

Under the impact of that terrifying sound wave.

 The giant skeletal beast collapsed.

 All the feathers on the rotting bird's body shot out, pricking holes in the stone wall.

 Itself turned into a puddle of muddy water.

 Hurrah!

Bones fell all over the sky, forming a rather spectacular rain of bones.

 “Outsiders!”

“Do you really want to challenge the majesty of the eternal underground palace?”

 A cold voice sounded from the depths of the tomb.

 “I told you, I am a necromancer.”

Matthew’s tone was quite calm:

“I don’t want to challenge anyone’s majesty, I just like this tomb and want to keep it as my own.”

 The next second.

 Slowly he opened the realm of the tomb.

 …

“Warning: Do you want to engage in a realm duel with Brianta, the tomb guardian of the eternal underground palace?

　　Do you want to plunder the domain control of the Eternal Underground Palace? "

 …
