v1 Chapter 209: Ruins Exploration

In the Lyle Forest in the southern part of the small town of Dekonwa, a river ran from a distance and bypassed a hill not far away.

The side of the cliff was bare, showing pure black stones. Under the reflection of the crimson moon, it looked a bit gloomy from a distance.

At the river bay at the foot of the mountain, two girls wearing shirts and trousers with various utensils surrounded a hidden underground entrance. They were Emma and Fanny who secretly left the hotel in the middle of the night.

"Did you dug this entrance?" Emma looked at the passage after the disguise was removed, her brows frowned, and she asked her friends next to her.

Fanny fiddled with the mechanical equipment in her hand, and it seemed to be detecting something. After a while, she replied, "Look at the marble wall in the passage. You can tell if I dug it out with a little thought. "

"According to the book, wasn't the baron's castle buried by mudslides? How could there be an entrance... Could it be that the heavy rain last week changed the terrain and exposed a passage in the castle?" Emmael was a little confused. Asked indifferently.

"Why don't you take a look?" Fanny teased after taking out three shoebox-sized metal squares from her backpack.

Emma rolled her eyes when she heard this, and said, "You know I'm not good at divination..."

"So, don't talk about those demoralizing words... It's all here, can you resist turning around without exploring?"

After Fanny finished speaking, she threw three metal cubes out.

Those metal blocks began to deform in mid-air, and several tentacle-shaped metal tubes protruded from the top and bottom of the block and on both sides.

After landing, those squares turned into robot dolls that looked like they had multiple arms and could walk upright.

At this time, Fanny drew a triangular holy emblem on her chest and added:

"With them exploring the way, there shouldn't be much danger... God will protect us."

Seeing this, Miss Emma swiftly coiled her long black hair on top of her head, while muttering in her mouth: "Your grandfather is so kind to you. These robot dolls look very powerful."

Fanny knew that her friend was actually nervous. After all, the other noble lady rarely had similar adventures, so she followed her words and explained:

"Each'Destroyer' robot is equipped with 4 high-pressure steam rifles that can shoot magic bullets, and a silver cannon ball with'Bright Fire'. In terms of destructive power alone, each of them exceeds Extraordinary at Sequence 7 level."

Emma breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, then stretched out her right hand, clenched her fist on her chest and said: "The storm is with you."

Seeing the two Extraordinary ladies walking down the passage, Abner, who followed in stealth, bypassed the warning rune arranged by Emma and followed.

The reason why he came here with the two girls was not only because he was a little curious about the ruins, but more importantly, the two girls knew they were newbies at a glance, and they were not fully prepared for the expedition. If no one was watching, just in case What terrible thing was released, wouldn't the small town of Kangwa, not far from here, have to suffer?

After thousands of years of scouring, the stairs made of black marble still maintain sufficient hardness without any signs of corrosion.

The two ladies followed the cube dolls and walked all the way down the stairs to the ground. Then, they saw the decorations and patterns with Quaternary characteristics.

"This... seems familiar?" Ms. Fanny looked around with the lights on the robot doll, and said with some surprise.

"Of course they are familiar. We saw these textures in that ‘Old John’ Hotel before!" Emma squinted her eyes and quickly identified the source of the familiarity.

And Abner, who was hidden behind him, immediately judged that not only the decorative lines, but the room he was in now, even the layout was exactly the same as the restaurant in the "Old John" Hotel!

Difficult to understand that this is the "inn" originally built by the priest in the Fourth Age?

Thinking like this in his mind, Abner analyzed the surrounding furniture and objects with his "white eyes", and denied his previous guess.

No, the style of the furniture is unique to the Fifth Period, and some of the building materials are not old enough... It should not be a Quaternary building... Is it the same as the "Old John" Hotel, which was later copied?

However, why must the party create this pattern?

While Abner was thinking about it, Miss Emma, ​​who was a "decipherer", naturally noticed that the layout of the ruins was almost the same as the "Old John" Hotel.

Since no danger was found for the time being, she was surprised, and carefully searched around with her friends.

"Almost all valuable things are broken or rotted...no traces of extraordinary items have been found for the time being."

"This is indeed the former residence of Baron'Kangva'. I found his family crest here. Although it has been corroded very badly, it is described in "St. Augustine-City of Hope: "The Battle of the Oath"" Are exactly the same."

"Huh? The bookcases in the basement study are so well-preserved, the books inside do not seem to be badly weathered."

After the two girls explored the basement floor, they suddenly made new discoveries.

But Abner was on high alert at this time, because he found on the marble floor of the basement one thing that the two ladies had overlooked—footprints!

It was a strange and fresh footprint that did not belong to him, Emma, ​​and Fanny!

The strange footprint seemed to be walking down the stairs from the upper floor, and then disappeared in a huge, heavy, dark black stone door at the end of the underground corridor.

There is also the only place in this ruin that is different from the "Old John" Hotel.

That door... seems to be pushed open from the inside... Abner looked far into the open gap of the stone door, but even with the "night vision" ability, he could only see the darkness.

Shimen had already cracked a gap that allowed the two of them to escape together, and it was deep inside.

At this time, Emma's voice came from the study:

"They are all biographical books, many of which I have collections in my house... Only this handwritten note may have some value... But I don't understand what he wrote..."

"There are also words that the'decryptor' can't understand?" Fanny, who was standing next to him in charge of guarding, asked in surprise.

"I know ancient Hermes, dragons, giants, and elves, but I'm sure that the text in this notebook is not any of the above! This is a completely different type of text." Emma affirmed.

"Then take this notebook first, and wait for us to find someone to identify it after we have explored the ruins." Fanny said after thinking about it.

"That's it..."

Although Abner was also interested in that notebook, it is not easy to show up now, so he can only give it up temporarily.

After the expedition is over, look for opportunities to show their ‘learned’ side in front of them, and guide them to take the initiative to give their notes to their interpretation...

As soon as Abner thought of this, he saw the two ladies leave the study and came to the huge black stone gate.

The lights of the three mechanical dolls shone in along the gap, but they could only illuminate a small area behind the door, and could not make them see clearly.

Fanny just wanted to direct the robot to enter, but was stopped by Emma, ​​who said in a positive tone: "There is danger below!"

Fanny obviously trusts her friends, she nodded solemnly, and then solemnly said: "Then I will do some preliminary cleaning!"

Clean up? Abner hadn't realized what she meant. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com saw that the "heads" of the three robots simultaneously stretched out a golden gun tube about half a meter long.

Immediately afterwards, the barrel of the gun quickly brightened, drawing out the noisy and fierce marks and patterns.

boom!

Three golden fireballs that looked like miniature suns flew out of the "barrel" and into the darkness and darkness.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth trembled slightly, and a fierce light emerged from the gap.

Abner, who was invisible nearby, shook visibly, and his feet trembled, almost invalidating his invisibility.

At this moment, a monster the size of a calf, with golden flames burning all over his body, sprang out of the gap in the stone gate at a very fast speed.

"That breath...is the monster made by the'werewolf' with poison again?!"
