Proof of the Sun King

Everyone pulled out their weapons. Weasley, the director of the Luigi Chamber of Commerce, subconsciously pulled out the scimitar from his waist, and the accompanying guide took off the shield behind him.

But before everyone took out their weapons, the paladin Alfred rushed in front of everyone. He raised the paladin-style long sword in his hand and shouted angrily.

"Holy Light Art!"

The intense white-gold glow carried powerful divine energy towards the black vampire bat swarms. Those vampire bats with blood-red eyes turned into ashes as if they were melted by the glow. Other vampire bats turned to ashes. They fled, and soon disappeared.

"What a powerful Holy Light." Weasley sighed and put away his weapon.

"Mr. Paladin, can you tell me first when you're going to do this next time? I'm almost blinded by the flash." Estelle complained dissatisfiedly.

"I don't want this either, Mr. Estelle, but these vampire bats are very smart. They will remember us after they are counterattacked, and they will not attack us again if they are afraid of death." Alfred There was a serious look on his face: "We are here to check for abnormalities, not to spend time with these vampire bats."

"Well, I don't like teaming up with paladins." Estelle muttered, reluctantly agreeing with Alfred's point of view.

"Have there always been vampire bats in the mine?" Ryan noticed something unusual. Normally, there shouldn't be so many vampire bats in a mining cave.

"Of course, when there are miners, there are not so many, but we have stopped mining this mine for nearly three months. Maybe these **** beasts thought the humans were gone, so they appeared again?" Weasley also said a little. Not sure, he made a guess.

This guess was quite reasonable, so Ryan didn't ask any further questions and continued to move towards the depths.

The passage of the No. 1 mine is very long. Ryan holds the warhammer in one hand, and the light blue psionic blade is shining in his right hand. Relying on the shimmer of the psionic blade, Ryan found that many rock walls are very Wet, ice-covered: "Is there a groundwater leak here?"

"Yes, Mr. Ryan, there is groundwater seepage here." Weasley nodded, and he pointed to the top of the rock wall: "When Viscount Casanova sold us this vein, he clearly told us that there was groundwater here. Leakage, that's one of the reasons he gave us this lode cheaply."

"In order to prevent groundwater from flooding the mine, we have reinforced many places." Weasley pointed to the many infiltration places: "Although there will be a small amount of leakage in a few places, it will not affect the mining. The only problem is that the cost of mining is high. rose."

"Well." So several people continued to move towards the depths of the No. 1 mine.

Noticing that the candle light was being used very quickly, Ryan sighed again. If only Veronica was here, the torches she made were powerful, illuminated a wide range, and lasted for a long time. This kind of scum candle light could not be seen. No matter how far away, it will be used very quickly.

The deeper you go, the narrower the road, the more slippery the ground and the rock wall, Weasley wiped off the ice on his head, pointed to the bend ahead, and said in a low voice, "That's the end of the No. 1 mine. , There is an underground lake at the end of the No. 1 mine... What's wrong, Mr. Lane?"

"Wait... I seem to hear something." Ryan motioned for a few people to be quiet.

"窸窸 咔 ~ Kaka ~" There was a weird noise at the end of the corner.

All the people in their hearts pulled out their weapons and were ready to fight.

The half-elf peeked out a little from the corner, seeing as day in the dark.

After he saw clearly what happened, Estelle's eyes widened instantly.

mouse! What a big mouse!

Several rats taller than people are gathering on the ice layer of the frozen underground lake, and they are gnawing around. They have blood-red eyes, huge bodies, and sharp claws, Estelle. It's not clear what they are gnawing on, but the bones and flesh that keep flying out indicate that it must be something alive.

The half-elf turned around and whispered, "It's a mouse, a big mouse."

"Is it the Skaven?" Ryan asked in a low voice.

"It's not quite like... just like an ordinary squirrel." The half-elf was experienced, and he immediately recognized that those were not the notorious Skaven, they were just ordinary mutant mice.

"Then kill them!" Several people nodded and prepared to fight. The light blue psionic flame in Ryan's hand was burning continuously. He found a spot and stretched out his right hand.

Psionic Storm!

Light blue lightning struck the squirrels who were feasting. They were in great pain under the burning of the lightning. Two of the squirrels were killed by the psionic storm on the spot, and the rest quickly reacted and avoided the light. Blue lightning rushed towards the expedition team.

Estelle bends and shoots arrows at great speed.

"Hey!" The first feathered arrow hit the left eye of the headed squirrel, it rolled to the ground, and immediately lost its breath.

The second arrow caught the half-elf's longbow, and the cunning squirrel knew how to dodge. They dispersed immediately, one of them charged directly at Alfred, and the other two were at Ryan's place. The place is approaching rapidly.

"Huh!" Alfred held the square shield and slammed Shuoshu's head hard. Shuoshu tried his best to dodge, but was still hit by the huge square shield of the paladin. Shuoshu's face was beaten with blood by the paladin.

"Hey!" Estelle took advantage of the stunned squirt to shoot another arrow at the door, and the squirt fell to the ground, and immediately stopped moving.

On the other side, the two squirrels rushed towards Ryan together. Ryan raised the Griffon Warhammer and shot one squirrel in the head with a single hammer. The other squirrel felt bad when he saw this, and the cunning creature immediately turned around and ran away. .

"Kill it!" Several people wanted to chase, but the ice surface of the underground lake was slippery, so Weasley hurriedly said to the half-elf.

"You don't need to say more!" Estelle answered impatiently. The half-elf bent the bow and shot the arrow. He narrowed his eyes and directly calculated the distance. Then he raised the longbow and shot an arrow directly towards the heights. .

How did this half-elf shoot arrows? Chamber of Commerce Director Weasley frowned, but what happened next made his eyes widen.

Shuoshu slid across the ice at a very fast speed. When it slipped to the edge of the ice and jumped on the ground and was about to escape, the arrow in the air changed direction, fell, and then penetrated through Shuoshu's heavenly cover, bringing its final judgment.

This is a projectile, and Ryan nodded approvingly: "Being able to calculate the distance so precisely is not a loss for the people of the forest."

"Everyone in the forest can projectile, this is just a trivial skill." Estelle didn't care about this compliment, a few people couldn't answer, only Ryan shrugged: "Okay, okay, insignificant skills too. Skill, let's see what they're eating."

Several people carefully came to the top of the ice layer and looked at the corpse that was eaten by several large rats.

"This is... a kobold?" Relying on the weak candlelight and the light in Ryan's hands, several people found that this was the corpse of a kobold, who had been eaten beyond recognition.

"Are there kobolds in the mine?" Ryan asked Weasley.

Kobolds are nasty creatures that like to survive in the damp conditions of the ground, but they are also excellent miners and treacherous slave traders.

Weasley motioned for the guide to answer, and the guide answered without hesitation: "Yes, since we started digging this lode, kobolds have not stopped appearing, but they are generally more afraid of people, and after clearing them a few times before and after. , as long as there is a human figure, they will take the initiative to avoid it."

The muscles on Ryan's face twitched, and he thought to himself that there was a reason for everything and strangeness.

So why did the miners go mad?

"Do you drink the groundwater directly here?" Looking at the thick ice layer of the underground lake, Ryan thought of another explanation.

"No, it's happened before. Ever since some miners went crazy, we also thought it might be a problem with the water, so we asked the miners to bring their own water." The guide still shook his head.

"...Well, anyway, there doesn't seem to be anything left in the No. 1 mine." Ryan found that this icy lake was already at the end, and there was no way forward. There were only some mouse holes dug by mice and black paint. Above the painted rock wall: "Let's go to the next mine!"

"Where it all begins is also where it ends."

"What?" Ryan frowned and turned around to ask Estelle: "Ester? When did you learn these babbling prophecies?"

"Hey! What are you talking about, Ryan? I didn't say anything." Estelle looked at Ryan strangely: "What prophecy?"

"Ah? Didn't you talk?" Ryan was surprised now.

"I really didn't speak." Estelle was a little dissatisfied: "We didn't speak, are you hallucinating?"

"Yeah, good friend, none of us spoke just now." Alfred also came out to testify.

A few people look at me, I look at you, they immediately realized something was wrong, and Ryan immediately asked: "Wait! Mr. Weasley, you said before that many miners can hear low and muddy voices?"

"Yes... Yes, you heard that too, Mr. Lane?" Weasley's eyes lit up, and asking Lane to investigate really worked.

"Has any of the miners heard what this voice is saying?" Ryan's brows became tighter and he asked in a deep voice.

"No, according to them, it's a language that they don't understand." The director of the chamber of commerce said helplessly: "We used to ask the miners to record these languages ​​and go to linguists, but each miner described it differently. ."

"..." Ryan already had the answer faintly in his heart, and he motioned everyone to explore the No. 2 mine together.

The No. 2 mine is generally similar to the No. 1 mine, but the content of mithril ore in this mine is purer, and the road is narrower. In some places, people have to crawl forward, and the humid underground environment makes people very uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable, and as they entered the underground for a long time, they couldn't see the sun, and everyone's concept of time gradually became blurred. Some people felt that three or four hours had passed since they entered the underground, and some people felt that most of the day had passed.

The dome of the No. 2 mine is even higher. It is difficult to imagine that the top of the rock formation in the cave will be fifty or sixty meters above the ground. Several people cautiously advanced towards the depths of the mine, and Ryan's right wrist sticks out light blue. The sharp psionic blade illuminated the way forward, and the few people behind were holding the candle lights in their hands and looking at the rock wall.

As several people continued to move forward, the road became narrower and narrower, almost only for one person to pass. The rock walls on both sides of the road continued to oppress everyone, accompanied by strong psychological pressure, darkness, depression, It was wet, Lane and the others were okay. The guide and Weasley who brought a few people together were a little bit overwhelmed. The director of the Chamber of Commerce cleared his throat: "Cough, Mr. Lane, we have been in the mine for a long time, yes Don't you go up and rest first? Come down tomorrow?"

Ryan thought for a while, but still shook his head: "After checking the No. 2 mine, if there is nothing wrong, then we will go back to the ground first."

"OK."

After a few people walked for a while, the half-elf Estelle felt a drop of water falling on his face, so he looked towards the dome and found that at the highest point of the dome, something seemed to be constantly shaking: "Lane? There seems to be something on top."

"What is that? Estelle, can you see clearly?"

"It seems like... something is hanging and swinging." Estelle watched for a while, but still couldn't determine what it was: "I'm sorry, Ryan, my dark vision is not as good as the real wood elf compatriots. , the distance is too far, I can't see clearly."

"Where is it?" Ryan and the others raised their heads together, but they could only see darkness: "Is it something hanging? Can you shoot it down?"

"It should be possible, let me try it!" The half-elf bent his bow and shot an arrow. Seeing this, several people stepped aside and waited for the result.

"Hey~" The first feather arrow rushed into the sky and disappeared into the depths of darkness.

After waiting for ten seconds, without any response, Estelle took out another arrow: "This one is sure to hit!"

Sure enough, after five seconds, there was a sound of a sharp object scraping a hard object: "I hit it!"

There was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Something very heavy fell about 50 meters in front of everyone. The sound was louder than ever. Ryan and the others rushed to the front.

It was a skeleton, a human skeleton, covered in dust and cobwebs.

"What is this? Someone died here?"

"It's no surprise. Where are there no bodies in the underground tunnels?"

"He seems to be a little different. This corpse should have been dead for a long, long time. You see, there is no meat on the bones, so it should have been many years since this person died."

Ryan, Estelle, and Alfred discussed at length, and the appearance of the skeleton puzzled the three of them.

"After a normal person dies, it usually takes about a year and a half for the corpse to turn into a skeleton if it is in the open air and in normal temperature and environment." Ryan touched his chin: "In this underground and cold environment, the corpse needs to be more long time."

"In this underground environment, it will take at least a few years." Estelle said and turned the corpse over. The skeleton was unusually tall, about two meters tall, and it had completely turned into a skeleton. The bones have been broken, and only general outlines can be seen.

"Wait, this is..." Ryan noticed something different about the skeleton, and he immediately reached out and opened the skeleton's teeth.

Under the light of the candle light, everyone noticed that the skeleton's teeth were different from those of normal people, and his teeth were sharper.

Just like wolf teeth.

Ryan's eyes opened wider and wider, his mouth opened, and the Primarch subconsciously took out a silver wolf head pendant from his body. In full view, the silver wolf head pendant shimmered with faint light.

"Impossible!" Ryan was shocked: "Impossible! It's impossible!"

Ask for a ticket!
