Leading to the second basement floor is a wedge-shaped downward corridor.

It was pitch black without any light.

This is probably the case with such forgotten or abandoned passages.

The more historic the family, the more various forgotten things will appear.

Just like the guardian knight of the Lancaster family more than two thousand years ago.

He was still keeping his promise until his death, loyally guarding the Lancaster family, even if he turned into a ghost, he never broke his promise.

Until he is forgotten along with this passage.

Zong Shen was no longer excited by killing a mere epic monster.

However, the actions of that guardian knight named Gajeel Wade still moved him a little.

For such a loyal knight, what Zong Shen can do is to help him escape.

To end the oath he made with death, he no longer needs to live in the world with the decayed body of the undead.

The world of the undead has no color, no emotion, and the boring waiting is intertwined with the long decay.

Only loyalty has not been eroded.

Zong Shen hoped that no matter what the future outcome would be, the soldiers under his command would also be loyal to him.

After killing [Lancaster Family Guardian Knight: Gajeel Wade LV43 (Golden) (Undead State)], Clone No. 1 lost nearly 2,000 points of health.

At this moment, he is slowly recovering under the influence of his strong body.

In order to resolve the battle as soon as possible, the avatar without combat skills chose to exchange blood for blood.

In addition, Gajeel Wade belonged to a high-level knight before his death, his level was as high as LV43, and his attributes in all aspects were relatively prominent among the golden epic-level undead monsters.

He also fought tenaciously with the clone.

Being able to settle in two or three minutes is already considered fast.

In addition to the equipment on Gajiru, Zong Shen controlled the avatar on his chest and touched a birch bark paper letter that had been blessed with magic.

【Gajeel Wade's suicide note (special)】

…

This letter cannot be opened, at least Zong Shen cannot see the contents.

And it comes with a mission.

[Mission: Gajeel Wade's suicide note]

[Requirement: Give the suicide note to Gajeel's wife, Mrs. Wadana, or a direct descendant of the Wade family]

[Reward: Gajeel's family lance (golden) x 1, 10,000 continental general dinars, 1,500 prestige points, Morton Manor's title deed x 1]

(After more than two thousand years, everything has changed. Gajeel’s wife has passed away, and his descendants also moved out of the giant city of Lentax before 2529, and settled in the giant city of The Hague. The task reward will be change according to the actual situation)

…

This suicide note quest is a bit outdated.

Gajeel Wade also served as the guardian knight for the ancestors of the Lancaster family two or three thousand years ago. He must be an outstanding figure of that generation, and the family he belonged to must be quite powerful.

As long as there are no accidents, the continuity of the family is far longer than that of a strong person.

As expected, the Wade family not only continued, but also moved to the giant city of The Hague for development.

If there is an opportunity to go to the giant city of The Hague in the future, Zong Shen plans to find Jiajilu's descendants and hand over this suicide note to the Wade family.

It doesn't matter if it's rewarded or not.

Now that Zong Shen's family business is big, he doesn't need to look at rewards to act.

Controlling the avatar to put away the suicide note, Zong Shen was emotional, but he didn't hesitate.

The actions of the avatar must race against time.

Every minute of delay increases the likelihood of exposure.

And as time goes by, Marquis Henry's determination to show his cards will become stronger and stronger.

Even without Dabos gladiator twins and fire magister Doris as incentives, Marquis Henry will still have a high probability of directly launching an action tonight.

Therefore, Zong Shen must completely destroy the Marquis' actions in time and according to the plan.

He was forced to postpone the plan to hold the prince hostage until after the tournament.

Only in this way can the Calamity Raven Church have the best chance.

The situation in the city will therefore fall into full-scale turmoil.

And only when turmoil occurs, Zong Shen will have a chance to take down the entire giant city.

It's all about getting the timing just right.

If there is no right time, place and people, then create the right time, place and people.

The wedge-shaped corridor twists and turns downward.

The walls are still dry, which shows that the castle's construction technology is not solid.

Even after so many years, the overall durability of the building is still very good, and even the return of damp has not occurred.

Zong Shen hadn't had time to see the whole picture of the Marquis' castle and attributes such as its sturdiness.

But there is no doubt that the solid value here is absolutely beyond imagination.

While thinking about it, he controlled Clone No. 1 to reach the end of the descending corridor.

There is a closed room in front of me, without piles of debris, but there are many tables and chairs.

The dust accumulated on the ground was half a foot thick, and it was like stepping on soft sand.

Such a thick layer of dust cannot accumulate in a short while.

It shows that this place, like the one above, has been neglected and abandoned for many years.

Those tables and chairs were also covered with a thick layer of beige dust.

When the avatar stepped forward, it left behind a line of striking footprints.

Because the environment is relatively closed, there is not much surge of air flow, and the dust is not raised.

It becomes difficult to breathe here, and the air from the upper floor needs to pass through the corridor to reach here.

And the room itself is relatively airtight.

Fortunately, the clones of the legendary level are quite strong, and can sustain for at least an hour in an anaerobic environment.

Enough to complete the next exploration.

And as long as you leave this room, there should still be normal air circulation on the second floor of the castle.

Quickly confirming the environment, the clone walked towards the rune door in the room.

The rune gate here is old, simple, and full of traces of time, but the brilliance on the surface has not disappeared, and it is still flowing after time.

Zong Shen's clone came to the door with light steps.

Take out the 【Master Key (Orange)】.

This key can be used up to a hundred times, and now there are more than ninety chances left.

As long as it is a rune door not higher than the fifth-order legendary level, it can be easily opened.

It is almost impossible for such a small rune door used in a room to reach the fifth level or higher.

High-level rune doors are usually the main doors with relatively large specifications.

Most of the small rune doors used in the room are on the second to fourth levels, and their main function is to be used as a temporary partition, and they also have an additional mute effect.

Only the Lancaster family, an old giant city-level family with a fairly abundant background, would arrange rune doors in every room.

Some castles of minor nobles even use ordinary doors instead.

Zong Shen inserted the [Master Key (Orange)] into the lock cylinder, and after twisting it lightly, the brilliance of the rune door shone, and there was a crisp riveting sound, and the door was opened.

Before opening the door, he used the strategy module to confirm that there were no magic circles, patrolling soldiers, and undead detected outside the room, and then he pushed open the door with confidence.

There is a straight corridor outside the room.

to a fixed direction.

And this happens to be the last room in the corridor.

According to the position on the golden circle navigation, it has passed through the movement of the basement level.

His location on the second basement level is about the east side of the castle.

This floor is relatively quiet, and there are not so many patrolling soldiers.

Even the deployment points of high-level detection magic have become much sparser.

Probably followed the principle of tight outside and loose inside.

If the strength of anti-submarine intrusion on the basement floor is a fine-mesh sieve.

Then the second layer is a hollow net pocket, and the holes are bigger and bigger.

When he continues to go down and reaches the third floor, the anti-submarine speed will increase again,

This floor is mainly a warehouse, which stores a lot of bells and whistles.

In wartime, you can rely on the materials here for long-term defense.

Important materials are nothing more than storable food, ordnance, equipment, commonly used forging raw materials, and so on.

Zong Shen had a clear goal this time, and he wasn't here to rob.

So I suppressed the habit of looting, honestly followed the recommendation of the strategy module, and proceeded along the passageway of the third underground floor.

This time he deliberately increased the screening conditions.

After excluding all factors that might trigger the battle, such as high-level detection magic circles, patrolling soldiers, puppets, magic sculptures, and undead, two passages that could safely reach the next floor were selected.

Considering that the core area of ​​the third floor is in the center, Zong Shen chose one of the two passages closer to the middle of the castle as the main route.

In the process of finding the way forward, the stealth effect of the avatar reached the time limit, and the prototype suddenly appeared.

However, Zong Shen had changed boots, put on a pocket coat, and put on an iron mask for the avatar as early as when he was in action.

The effect of this kind of physical cover is actually not bad, unless the opponent has a specific sense of breath or perspective ability, it is difficult to see through the true face if the clone cannot be captured.

Moreover, the defense on the second basement floor is relatively loose.

This made Zong Shen reach the selected passage without much effort.

There are neither sundries nor guards here. There is only a metal sliding rod connected to the ceiling of the second floor, and the other end is straight into the next floor.

There are several empty boxes piled up in the corners of the surrounding walls, as well as empty wine jars and broken lamps.

Without any delay here, the avatar climbed the sliding pole, gripped the pole with its arms, and slid to the third underground floor.

The drop between the second floor and the third floor is the smallest, with only a vertical height of more than ten meters.

After landing, there was a cloud of dust immediately where the feet stepped on the ground.

This passage is like a circular patio, which is sunken two or three meters downwards. There is no high-level detection magic circle nearby, and Zong Shen can fall down unimpeded.

Controlling the avatar, he deftly jumped onto the aisle after landing.

Different from the simple layout of the first and second floors, there are many more carvings on the walls here.

These carvings have different shapes, most of which are heroic knights.

Almost every three or four meters there is a relief statue carved on the wall.

It's just that the further you go, the more incomplete the carving becomes, like a semi-finished product that was temporarily abandoned in the middle of the carving.

According to the information prompt in the strategy module, there are no permanent patrol soldiers on the third floor.

There are only guards in the hall in the central area, and there is a legendary low-level combat force among them.

In addition, organ magic sculptures were also arranged at the intersections and critical areas of the aisles.

This mechanism is hidden on the side of the wall, and when an intruder appears, it will be flipped and activated.

There are two types of magic figures, the first will attack invaders in a melee stance.

The eyes of the second type of magic sculpture will shoot out a magic light with strong penetrating power, causing damage to the enemy.

And here are all stone magic sculptures.

As the name suggests, the so-called stone magic sculpture is a magic sculpture body carved from stone as a whole.

It is about three meters tall, a bit like a stone giant, and has certain mobility.

Different from war puppets, magic sculpture is a skill that does not pay much attention to materials, and it relies entirely on the carving of runes to turn decay into magic skills, and the driving force is magic energy crystals.

Moreover, there is often a huge floating space between the upper limit and the lower limit of the magic sculpture's strength.

Its strength depends largely on the skill of the carver, but the material used can also play a role.

A magic sculpture carved from pure gold by the same magic sculptor is definitely better than a magic sculpture carved from stone.

But stone can be mass-produced, but fine gold cannot.

The cost of the two is not the same.

Just be careful not to be discovered by the detection magic circle and the stone magic sculpture along the way.

It is conceivable that when Zong Shen arrived at the central area, there would definitely be a battle.

However, he had prepared for a long time and gave Clone No. 1 a precious magic ornament in advance.

Even if you really want to fight against the legendary powerhouse, the avatar can still have the power to fight.

Carefully detouring along the route, the avatar controlled by Zong Shen was almost stepping on the sensing boundary of the magic sculpture and the detection magic circle.

Fortunately, every time he went down one floor, he was one point closer to the center.

After only five or six minutes, Zong Shen arrived near the target area.

That is a hall on the third floor, and it is also the real core.

Standing at the corner, Clone No. 1 can already see the scene inside it.

In the middle of the hall stands a huge metal column with a diameter of five meters.

There are dense passages of magic energy on the pillar.

Various precious magic metals are used as materials.

It is also inlaid with elemental gems and hundreds of super magic crystals.

The entire pillar is emitting a faint light, not too dazzling, but still eye-catching.

There is a small group of sixth-rank soldiers near the pillar, and several spellcasters of the same rank.

They were sitting in chairs drinking and chatting, looking very relaxed.

What Zong Shen cares most about is not these sixth-level fighters and spellcasters~lightnovelpub.net~, but the strange figure standing next to the magic pillar, holding a chisel and a carving knife, and constantly carving a big stone.

The man didn't wear armor or helmet, only a simple coarse linen clothes.

The hair is very long, mixed with silver gray, it just hangs down the back, looking messy

Moreover, that guy was barefoot, with a small hammer stuck in his waist, sometimes portraying, sometimes gouging, not like a warrior, but like an artist, with an extremely focused expression.

From the moment he saw him, Zong Shen knew whose handwriting those wall carvings and stone magic sculptures along the way were from.

Because this guy is impressively displayed in the golden prompt of the strategy module:

[Magic Sculptor: Ashley Yabo LV39 (Legendary Low Level)]
