Chapter 59 Field Investigation

Chapter 59 Field Investigation

I didn't really care about Julian's sudden disappearance, since I already knew everything I needed to know. I already understand what Julian means, that is, he doesn't know anything about the magic circle, but he has participated in part of its construction. I estimate that most of the Russian protoss individuals are similar to Julian. Most of them participated in the construction of the magic circle, but they had no idea what they were building. If you want to know the details of that magic circle, it's probably impossible to ask just by scratching your tongue. After all, there are too few divine individuals who know the specific situation. We may not be able to find it, and if we find it, we may not be able to beat them. . The Russian Protoss keeps this matter so secret. Those who know the inside story must be core members, and none of the core members of the Protoss are easy to deal with, so I don’t expect to catch the Protoss who know the inside story. So the only way left is Just go and investigate on your own.

"Let's go back to Hope City now."

"Go back to Hope City?" Ling was stunned for a moment, then understood what I meant. Since the situation cannot be investigated from the Russian Protoss, the only way is to investigate the magic circle itself.

After confirming the target, we quickly returned to the location of Hope City. Seeing my sudden return, both Celia and his father looked quite surprised, but then she looked at me with some resentment and said, "Master Ziri, why did you send him here?"

I knew without looking that Celia was talking about Solo, but I had no time to deal with her personal problems now. "Don't make trouble first, I have something to do with your father."

As soon as the fat city lord heard that I was looking for him, he immediately ran over and asked: "What do you want from me? As long as I can help, I will try my best."

I nodded and said, "Do you know what underground projects there are in Hope City?"

"Underground projects?" The city owner was stunned by my question, and then he asked tentatively: "Are you talking about buildings built underground, or are you talking about secret projects that are not known to anyone?"

"It literally means a construction project built underground."

"Oh, if we talk about underground buildings, there are a lot of them." The city lord said with some embarrassment: "Most of the houses in this city have basements, and rich people will even dig out many layers of underground structures, like the city lord There are also dungeons and the like inside, but there are a lot of them. I wonder what kind of information you want to know?"

I shook my head and said: "It's not that small underground building, but a very large underground building. The area may have exceeded the entire Hope City. And I estimate that the main body of the building will be very deep, far larger than the underground buildings used by normal residents. "

"What? Bigger than a city?" The fat city lord was stunned at first, and then he seemed to suddenly realize something. Then he approached me carefully and asked, "Can you create an area that is isolated from exploration?"

Ling, who had been following me, flicked his fingers without waiting for my answer, and a translucent light shield enveloped the three of us, and the ambient noise around us disappeared in an instant. Then Ling explained aloud: "This is a silent protective circle, which can isolate sound and various detection techniques."

After seeing this thing, the fat city lord said: "If it is an ordinary underground building, there are not one hundred but fifty in this city, but if the area exceeds Hope City... I don't know about such a thing, but if Hope City really has that If you plant something, only one force will be able to build it.”

I nodded and asked: "So where is the temple here? Which gods are in charge of it?"

"There is no temple in Hope City, only a sacrificial site. There are no gods inside, only a dozen temple guards and a few ordinary priests. However, the strength of their chief priests is pretty good. Of course, they are incomparable to the gods."

"Where is the sacrificial hall?"

"I'll let Celia take you there."

"Can."

Although Celia was very dissatisfied with my act of releasing Solo back, she didn't dare to make trouble with me on business matters. After her father's instructions, she quickly took me to the corner of the street near the sacrificial site, and then pointed out the location of the sacrificial site to me.

"That's the sacrificial site. The guards and priests are inside."

I nodded and said, "Okay, please leave first. You won't be able to help with the following matters."

After Celia left, I prepared carefully before walking towards the sacrificial site. Although the city lord said before that there are only a group of ordinary guards and a few priests here, but if this is really the entrance to the underground building, I don't believe there will be no divine guards below. Therefore, these people outside are just a cover-up to deceive others. What I really need to worry about are those entities hiding in the dark.

The sacrificial site in front of you is actually no different from a temple in appearance. The reason why it is not called a temple is because there are no gods stationed here, and the building area is slightly smaller. It feels like a regular temple has been scaled down.

When I walked into the temple gate, the guards in the temple were all stunned. My attack on the Temple of Martial Arts and the local gathering point of the Russian Protoss has obviously not spread yet. The first reaction of the guards here when they saw me was to mistake me for Zoro, but then they noticed the helpless look on the Shenlong Armor. It is obvious that such a thing cannot be imitated by Zoro, who can match the powerful magic power, so there is only one person left who can wear such a suit.

"Ziri?" The guard cried out in surprise, and then formed a defensive formation with others in a panic, while retreating and shouting through the door: "Master Priest, the devil Ziri is here! "

"Devil?" I looked at the guard and said funnyly: "Don't belittle me, okay? Do you think the devil is as powerful as me?"

The guards at the scene were obviously not in the mood to answer my joke, but were carefully on guard to prevent me from suddenly attacking. Seeing how careful they were, I didn't really think they were scared, but no matter how they behaved, I definitely wanted to find out more about this place, so I didn't care whether they were blocking the door or not, and still went on my own. Go forward.

Seeing me walking towards them, the guards on the scene began to retreat nervously. Although they formed a defense line, they also knew that my strength was not something they could stop, so they could only maintain their formation and retreat in order to contain me as much as possible. I. Maybe it was because the sacrificial site was really small, so I just walked into the gate and saw a group of guys in priest robes running in from the back door. Among them, running at the front was a capable old man who looked to be at least eighty years old. He was wearing a white priest's robe embroidered with gold and a red ribbon hanging around his neck with both ends on his shoulders. It hangs down to the top of the feet and looks very majestic.

The old man obviously slowed down after seeing me, but the fluctuations in magic power on his body showed that he was in a high state of emotional tension. After walking to the team of guards, the old man waved to the guards to make way for them. Then he looked at me and said, "I wonder why President Ziri has time to come to our little sacrificial site?"

Seeing the calm expression on the old man's face coupled with his extremely active magic power fluctuations, I almost stopped laughing. "Oh, don't be so nervous! Your magic power is almost setting the air on fire. Aren't you afraid of causing a fire?"

The old man's face turned red when he heard what I said, but he still asked firmly: "What on earth are you here for?"

"Hahahaha, I won't tease you anymore." I smiled and suddenly stopped smiling and said, "Let's not play charades anymore and get straight to the point. I know that there is some kind of underground building connected to your sacrificial site, and I want to go down there. Take a look. You should know my strength very well, so if you are smart, don’t resist, tell me where the entrance is, and leave immediately. Of course, you can also choose to resist, but I must tell you first, the consequences of choosing this option But you can’t even expect to die completely. Are you sure you want this option? Or do you want to cooperate with me?”

The old man obviously trembled when he heard my words. Although he didn't say it, I could tell from his reaction that I wasn't in the wrong place. This should be where the entrance is, and the old man must know the existence of this entrance.

"Have you decided which one to choose?" Seeing that the old man didn't respond for a long time, I asked again. Under normal circumstances, the old man could still play rough and tumble with me, but unfortunately I asked too directly, and he didn't even have a chance to interrupt me. He could only answer without answering. Although he felt embarrassed, I had no intention of sympathizing with him. "You should make a decision quickly. Now I will count three times. If you don't respond, I will go in by myself." After I finished speaking, I started counting by myself without waiting for the old man to answer.

The old man watched me really counting and felt extremely anxious, but the three numbers were only so small, and I counted so fast that it almost ended in less than three seconds. When I saw that he had no reaction, I walked forward. When the old man saw me moving, he immediately stepped back behind the guard. Then he raised his hand and said, "Stop. Although this is not a temple, it is also the territory of the Gods. No outsiders are allowed to trespass."

"Oh? So you mean to choose to fight stubbornly?" I said and took the eternity off the back of my hand. As soon as the spherical eternity came into my hand, it immediately melted and stretched into the shape of a sword. "In that case, let's all die." Before the old man spoke again, I suddenly took a step forward and stepped on the ground under my feet to create spider-like cracks, followed by a fierce horizontal slash of the Eternal Sword, and a The red sword light shot out and instantly passed through the crowd in front. Except for the old man who put up a protective shield in time, the others were swept by the sword light without even reacting, but the result did not change at all because of the protective shield put up by the old man. As the sword light flashed, the crowd in front suddenly became shorter. All the people swept by the sword light fell to the ground like harvested wheat, and everyone's wounds were almost a cut. The neat cross-sections passed by, including the old man, were no exception.

I didn't show any excitement after knocking down most of the enemies in the sacrificial hall with one move. I knew before that the people here were just hiding from others. The real enemies were in the buildings below, and that was the most dangerous place. Although I didn't kill all the people here just now, the remaining people were completely frightened. No one reacted until I stepped over the corpses of those people.

After passing through the front hall, which is only slightly larger than an average street-facing store, there is a small garden. As I said before, the structure of the sacrificial site is like a smaller version of the temple, and the overall structure is almost exactly the same. As expected, there is a small building behind the garden. If it is a temple, this should be the library and the place where the gods live. However, this is a sacrificial site and there are no gods living there, so this is where the priests and guards live.

After entering this building, I first observed the structure of the building. This small building is not large, and you can see the whole thing at a glance. There are two large rooms on either side of the hall on the first floor, which are the residences of the priests and guards. These people's status is too low. Even if there is a tunnel entrance here, it is impossible to build in such a crowded place. Opposite the building door is the staircase leading to the second floor. There are only the officiant's room and the database on it, so there is no need to look at it. On both sides of the staircase are two rooms, one is the office of the chief priest, and the other is the office of other priests. Needless to say, if there is a tunnel hidden here, then it is most likely the main priest's room.

I kicked open the door of the officiating room and walked in. This room is quite large. After all, it takes up a quarter of the entire first floor except for the corridors and stairs. Apart from some simple office furniture, the only other eye-catching feature in the room is a wall composed of huge bookshelves.

After walking to the bookshelf, I summoned Ling. As soon as Ling saw the bookshelf, he walked over and touched it with his hand. Then he immediately walked to a section of the bookshelf and said, "The door is behind here."

"How are you so sure?" I asked curiously.

Ling asked back: "Do you think it is necessary to protect the basic magic teaching materials with powerful protective magic? What's more, there is also a very complicated counterattack array connected behind it."

"There is no three hundred taels of silver here!" I said as I walked forward and pulled out the bookshelf in front of me and threw it aside. The wall behind looks no different from an ordinary wall, but if you look closely, you will find that there is an inconspicuous gap on the edge of the wall that just forms the shape of a door. "It seems that this is the entrance, but what should we do with this anti-*** formation?"

Ling thought for a while and said: "There are three ways. One is to use the Eternal Sword to cut off the door directly. Anyway, the magic circle is based on the stone slab on the door. As long as the door is destroyed, the magic circle will naturally be useless. The second method is to let me crack the magic circle, but this will take time. I estimate it will take at least a day. The third method is to find someone who can open the door. Since there is a door here, it must be for people to come in and out. Yes, the Russian protoss would not be stupid enough to seal themselves out, so they must know how to activate the anti-infection technique."
