Sinmonger Chapter 13: Underground passage
Chapter 13 Underground Passage
"That is to say... If I react too aggressively, those people who are hiding in the dark will be unable to hold their breath, because they are worried that I will disappear forever with the secret." The earl continued Tianyi's words. .
Tianyi took a sip of coffee and said, "Of course, since I have made a deal with you, I will naturally guarantee your safety and solve these people once and for all."
"Master, what do you plan to do?" The earl asked at this moment, but he was actually constructing such a scene in his mind: Tianyi was in a cave with a torch, and the surrounding walls were full of paintings The evil symbol, a pile of fetid flesh and blood lay in the room, Tianyi danced frantically in a black robe, then chanted a bunch of incantations, and then, all over Rome, those who threatened their safety collectively Cursed and died suddenly.
"The plan is very simple and divided into three steps." Tian Yi stretched out three fingers: "The first step, hide the treasure; the second step, release a message to tell them that the treasure has been hidden; the third step, you Die forever with the secret of where the treasure is hidden."
The count turned pale after hearing this: "Master...you don't joke."
"Don't worry, it's not for you to really die." Tian Yi said, "It's just to bury the name of Kichet de Beauger. After you die once, you will be absolutely safe."
"I see." The earl thought for a while and said: "By cheating death, everyone thinks that the treasure has been buried forever, and I left the world with the secret of the treasure... It really is a once and for all approach! "
"However, this involves another issue, which is our transaction." Tian Yi said: "If you want me to help you solve the problem of the treasure, it will be another transaction."
"But...that's part of my security problem isn't it?" the Count asked.
"I told you this three-step plan that made the treasure problem part of your security problem." Tian Yi replied, "I can also solve your security problem in other ways, but if I do that. The situation is different, the trading conditions for the treasure issue will become very harsh." He paused and looked into the earl's eyes: "So, it's up to you to accept my suggestion and reach it with me now. For the second transaction, let me use other methods to solve the problem of your personal safety, and accept a more difficult condition to solve the problem of the treasure in the future."
The Count seems to have a choice, but we all know what he will do: "Well, Master, I believe in you."
"Do you believe in my ability, or do you believe I really want to help you?" Tian Yi smiled.
The earl's Adam's apple wriggled. Hearing this, his heart was even more ups and downs. Tianyi was not related to himself, and he didn't get half a cent of the benefits, so the conditions of his first transaction seemed inexplicable, and he just let himself save an injured young man. Why should this eccentric wizard think from my point of view? Whether the conditions are harsh or not, how do I choose, what difference does it make to him?
Tian Yi looked at the other party's tangled expression, and seemed to get great pleasure. He then said: "Hehe...you don't need to answer. Let's hear the conditions of the second transaction."
The earl's nerves are tense, and his heart mentions his throat. He has no way of guessing what kind of request this guy in front of him will make.
"Actually, you should think about it and know what the conditions are. That is, you will forever give up your position and status as the Grand Commander of the Knights Templar, and you must not transfer it to anyone before I create a 'death' for you. people." Tian Yi said.
The first time the earl heard this, he felt a sense of relief. He thought about it, it was not so much a condition as it was a necessity. According to Tianyi's plan, he not only had to give up the position of the chief, but also His original title, identity, and even name had to be discarded.
"I'm afraid I have to accept this condition in order to fulfill my promise to my uncle," replied the earl.
Tianyi said: "Your uncle just doesn't want the treasure to fall into the hands of Philip IV, don't take him too high, the so-called 'hidden to the end of the world' is just because he is worried that he can't You only swear by enjoying these wealth."
"As long as those gold and silver don't fall into the hands of the enemy, whether they are inherited by future Templars or transferred into the hands of others, I can accept them, but..." The Count said sternly: "I think those' Treasures' should not be left in the world, but should be buried, preferably forever."
"Hmph... What do you think is your business." Tian Yi said nonchalantly: "Anyway, our deal is now concluded. Just follow my plan, and after completing these three steps, all your questions will be dealt with. All will be solved, and you can live the life you want without having to continue to face the dangers in front of you.”
The Count replied: "Master... You are basically helping me for free. Forgive me for asking, what can you get from this matter? Those treasures are permanently buried, which is your original purpose. ?"
"Since you can objectively get the results you want, don't ask me what I did." Tianyi drank his coffee, stood up, and put the hood behind his black robe over his head: "Follow me. Come on, I'll show you where the treasure is hidden before dusk."
"What? Now?" asked the Count.
Tian Yi didn't answer, but made a "please" gesture with one hand to signal the Count to step forward. The Count hesitated for a few seconds, then walked towards the bookstore door without asking any further.

Dark Shui saw the red double swastika, and immediately used his hand to plan the loess around the brand, and dug a small hole in two or three times. Then he turned his head and said to the man standing behind him: "Don't stand directly behind me, move a few steps to both sides."
After hearing the words, everyone was arranged on both sides of Anshui's back, making some space. Anshui pressed the face of his right palm on the mark and held it for about five seconds, the mark of the red double cross. It gradually changed color and emitted a blue-green light.
Then, the ground a few feet behind the dark water suddenly collapsed in a large piece, and after a second, the second adjacent piece collapsed, which was deeper than the distance of the first piece, and so on... When the sand, gravel and soil on the surface of the ground shattered and fell, a two-meter-wide staircase appeared in front of him.
"This passage has been closed for hundreds of years, and we'd better put on a breathing mask before going down." Dark Water said, then opened his backpack and took out the prepared mask.
Everyone else complied, and Lodovico kept watching. Although he didn't plan to go down, he naturally wanted to use every available opportunity to get more information before the expedition went down.
"How deep is this passage? Can we expand the passage by digging?" he asked Darkwater impatiently.
Darkwater replied: "The depth will naturally exceed the big pit in the center of the Colosseum, but I can't know how deep it is. I suggest you don't try to use external force to attack the ruins or its surrounding facilities. It's hard to predict what that will do internally."
Lodovico nodded and said yes on the surface, but he was already thinking about whether to let the "reserve team" follow him in fifteen minutes.
After everyone put on their masks and took out their flashlights, Dark Water walked in the front and stepped into the dark passage. The gunsmith followed closely behind him, followed by Suyside, followed by ten knights of the Iron Discipline, and at the end of the line were the advisor and Vanessa.
In this order, both parties will feel more at ease. On the reverse side, the advisor must follow Vanessa at all times. He has to monitor this woman and not use his abilities with his companions, and he has to beware of what she is doing. The conspiracy and tricks came out; on the steel commandment side, the three dangerous elements were separated in this order, and the strongest Suyside guarded the two in front, and Vanessa walked at the back of the team, taking care of the advisors .
Under this delicate atmosphere, everyone tacitly took the first step to explore the ruins.
Except for the ladder mechanism triggered by dark water at the top, this ladder passageway does not extend diagonally downwards. If you go down, you will find that this passageway is a spiral staircase with a horizontal length of about Two meters, there is a distance of about a step and a half on the surface for people to stand, that is, three people can stand side by side on a step.
The passage is like a dragon coiled on a column, spiraling down counterclockwise to the ground, so everyone is not heading towards the spire in the center of the Colosseum at this moment, but walking vertically downward. However, it is not too far from the spire dug by the Steel Commandments. If the ruins are indeed a pyramid structure, if they go down a certain distance, they will encounter a **** of the pyramid underground.
The steps at the foot and the walls on both sides look like nothing but stone and dirt ~IndoMTL.com~, including the collapsed steps at the top of the passage, are not made of metal. Many people are muttering in their hearts, how was such a passage built? How can dirt and stone be held in this shape? Everyone walked all the way down, and did not see anything like wood or metal brackets to support the structure of this passage, which was completely unreasonable.
Vanessa didn't consider this kind of problem. Since this kind of channel exists, there must be some kind of scientific or non-scientific force to keep this structure stable. At this moment, she is busy estimating the depth of their downward advance. According to the angle formed by the **** of the pyramid and the earth, the depth of the spire, the distance between the entrance of the passage and the excavation pit, etc. You should be able to explore the outer wall of the ruins within a hundred meters. At the current forward speed, and the **** of this passage...
"Did you see that?" The consultant suddenly interrupted her thoughts and asked in a low voice.
"See what?" Vanessa asked rhetorically.
Because they were wearing masks, the voices of the two were very dull and did not attract the attention of the team in front. The consultant deliberately kept a little distance from the people in front, tilted his head and said to Vanessa behind him: "Look at that wall carefully. ..."
