It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 696 The Seventy-Two Pillars Come to the Door

As evening fell, Rowe entered Philica's private study.

The Western Marshal, dressed in a white coat, was sitting at his desk, working methodically. When he saw him come in, he just smiled and didn't say anything, continuing to write something on his research report.

This wasn't the first time Rowe had barged in like this since the incident in Uncrowned City.

Only when he stood behind her did Philica give a flippant smile.

"I thought you would forget me after that, but you come to my private research room every few days. Do you think I am so irresistible to you, little one?"

Can I say yes?

“Heh,” Felicia chuckled, “Anyway, no matter what I say, you’ll just end up pinning me down on that table and starting to rampage around, won’t you?”

"..."

Luo Wei's lips twitched as he looked over. The results of last time were still there, unresolved. It was clearly intentional.

Furthermore, her written work, "Feasibility Report on the Separable Application and Counter-Reconnaissance Capture of the Type II Portable Tactical Magic Device," is also included.

What is this...?

Felicia leaned back in her chair.

"Do you want to take responsibility and not let your old woman be neglected?" She looked up and smiled. "Although it's a very considerate act, do you treat every woman like this?"

Loewe did not deny it.

Philica slowly turned the chair around.

She gave him an "Oh?" look that didn't deny it, and with an enigmatic smile, beckoned him over.

"Then tell me, do you think I'm beautiful?"

"Well, it's beautiful."

“Oh dear,” Felicia chuckled, her flower-like branches trembling, “So, this mellow, youthful taste has become addictive for you? Does it make you feel different from others?”

Lo Wei responded to her with his actions, kissing her lips and lifting her onto her research table, greedily savoring her taste.

…………

……

Two days later.

Halfway through the voyage, Ruyi, who was sitting in the captain's chair, suddenly jumped up.

"That's it!"

As she jumped, Lowe looked in the direction she pointed, and then glanced at the map that Fimi had conjured.

Within the territory of the Hooffire Empire.

In that case, the voice guiding Lu Yi is very likely there. Even if they know the other party's background, they still need to make plans. Hunting a high-ranking demon god is not a problem for them now.

"Speaking of which, why has Rowe been spending so much time in Philica's lab these past few days?"

"what?!"

Lu Yi jumped up, looked over with a resentful gaze, stared straight at Luo Wei, and made a low snoring sound in her throat.

"I don't care!" She grabbed Luo Wei's arm. "From now on, we'll sleep together!"

“Ah, Lu Yi is so cunning,” Anaining, who had just asked the question, smiled. “Then I want to join too!”

Urs watched them and smiled; this was a scene he had longed for but could never have achieved in the past.

"what!"

Elsa suddenly stood up from the side: "Do you think only that human gets this kind of treatment?"

She also took Urs's arm, and then said to Cass and Rooney, "Cass and Rooney, come on over!"

Kathy smiled and put her arm around her master's arm from the side, while Rooney stood still.

Urs: "..."

Luo Wei: "..."

Why are they even arguing about this?

No, it's completely different here...

In that case, I actually also...

The two exchanged messages across the distance, sighed helplessly at each other, and then began preparations for their descent to the ground.

on the ground.

After landing from the warship, Luo Wei, with Anai Ning and Lu Yi behind him, and Urs, with the three exiled demon generals, looked around. It seemed to be a wilderness on the outskirts of the eastern border of the Hooffire Empire. The surroundings were overgrown with weeds and some underdeveloped trees, and there were no obvious landmarks to identify the place.

Is it Marcus's territory?

No, it should be under the jurisdiction of Grand Marshal Diphas now.

Before they came down, Philica had explained some things about the Hooffire Empire to them. If the warships docked, it would definitely cause some problems, but if they moved on the ground in the wilderness, they wouldn't attract the Empire's attention. They just needed to be careful not to make too much noise.

However, if the battle takes place in underground ruins, then there's really nothing to worry about.

"Luyi, can you sense which direction it is?"

"Um…………"

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yi gave a convincing answer: "I don't know!"

Meanwhile, Anai Ning was already walking to one side. Luo Wei noticed this and followed with Lu Yi. Then, the two of them found a gap in the ground in a patch of weeds.

The opening was less than a meter long and about the width of a hand.

When Luo Wei saw it, he knew how she had discovered it. There was a faint airflow coming out from inside, which meant she sensed the movement of the wind.

"You guys stand back a bit."

“No, let me do it here,” Urs said, stepping forward.

He glanced at Luo Wei. If they were to encounter a battle, Luo Wei would definitely be the main force, while his own strength would probably only play a supporting role. It would be better to use it to clear the way for them.

As Rowe nodded, Urs stretched out his left hand and grabbed at the ground, revealing a large hole in the purple light curtain.

"Wow, not bad," Anai Ning commented.

The group then jumped in one after another. Judging from the terrain, it seemed to be a rather complex area, similar to an underground ancient palace. Luo Wei also obtained similar results by probing with his aura.

There wasn't anyone here particularly knowledgeable about history; only Rowe and Urs could understand a little. "From the perspective of texts and symbols—"

"This must be a temple dedicated to an ancient god."

The two arrived at the same answer.

The Hooffire Empire is the largest kingdom on the continent, and its people are warlike. However, in Luo Wei's opinion, it is still sparsely populated. Its total population is actually similar to that of Lion Garden. It is not surprising that there is such a ruin in a desolate place. There are countless unknowns in this world that have not yet been explored, which is why there are so many adventurers like Ryan who are passionate about adventure.

But it's a pity.

In the Hooffire Empire, people prefer to join the army rather than adventurers, so it's not surprising that such ruins have gone undiscovered. Travelers who accidentally stumble in would probably have a hard time escaping.

They have already discovered skeletal remains down there, and not just one.

It doesn't seem like they fell from above, but rather came in from somewhere else, got here, found a gap above but couldn't get out, and died here in despair.

“Leave the monsters along the way to the three of us,” said Cass, summoning her long-handled battle axe.

No... you didn't have to go this far...

Luo Wei wanted to say that he was no longer a magical waste, but he and Anai Ning wanted to keep an eye on Lu Yi, so they did not refuse their kindness.

However, they were wrong about one thing: this place was not unexplored. Judging from the cracked walls and broken jars, it seemed to have been looted by humans.

Ruins thief...

There is indeed such a group of people, which are not commonly seen in Lion Garden. After all, no one wants to enter the ruins and find nothing but monsters and no treasures. They would definitely be criticized.

That's how thieves' reputation gets dragged down.

But since that Marbas has come to a place like this, could it be that there are deeper parts underneath that have never been explored?

The seven of them continued their journey into the deeper part of the land. Since descending to the surface, they could no longer sense any presence from Lu Yi. The three demon generals worked together to kill the monsters along the way, but the worst possibility was that the demon god sensed Lu Yi's presence and fled on his own... That shouldn't be the case.

"what…!"

Lu Yi was sitting in Luo Wei's lap with her knees pulled up, and she was suddenly surprised.

"Just now!" She pointed in the direction behind her, looking at Elsa and the others who had turned around. "I sensed a presence when we passed by."

Lo Wei carried her back and they arrived at the location Louise had indicated, in front of a dark wall.

After Urs moved the wall aside, a closed secret passage appeared in front of them.

Luo Wei: "..."

The two exchanged a glance and nodded. Then, the three demon generals and Urs went in first, followed by the other three.

"whee……"

As they walked down, Lu Yi suddenly smiled.

"Luyi always opened the door for you guys before, but this time Luyi doesn't have to do anything?"

"Just stay here and relax," Luo Wei said, lifting her up and smoothing the hem of her skirt to prevent her from exposing herself. "Did you hear me?"

"Lu Yi, remember that!~"

After arriving in this underground area, the strength of the monsters increased significantly.

But those three were, after all, gods, and they were equipped with quite a bit of equipment. However, when Lu Yi sensed the aura opening three more secret passages in succession, they were all a little surprised.

"What the hell is this place?"

The environment they were in now was completely different from what they had been in before. From the initial temple, to the dark labyrinth, to the mysterious area covered with trees and moss, it was now an ancient, earthy ruin. Even the walls had a yellowish tinge, and the writing and patterns were blurred.

You've left these ruins of the War of the Gods...

Luo Wei was too lazy to complain. Their progress was definitely not slow, but they had already walked for about half a day, and the three people fighting ahead were starting to have some difficulty breathing.

"Why are these underground areas connected together?" Urs suddenly pondered.

“It’s possible they were thrown together because of the God War,” Luo Wei replied. The actual distance from here to Uncrowned City wasn’t that far, “but I can’t guarantee that.”

Urs nodded, after all, he had never been to the ruins of the Crownless City, but soon they arrived at a very open area.

"Where is this?" Elsa instinctively became wary.

Having such a spacious area so deep underground would seem unusual to anyone.

Luo Wei looked up and thought that if such a deep structure was really built underground, it would be extremely difficult. It would be a miracle if the structure didn't collapse.

Philica: "Can you hear me?"

The voice came from the tactical magic device on Luo Wei's body, which immediately brought him back to the time when Attana provided remote assistance to them in the Silent Courtyard during their exploration of the God War Ruins.

The only difference is that now the Mother Goddess has become the Western Marshal; one relies on domain, the other on technology...

Luo Wei took out the magic device and turned on the image transmission. He didn't expect that he could hear the message so deep underground after developing it to Type II, although it was a bit blurry.

"I can hear you, what's wrong?"

Philica: "Wait... what's that?"

Although the image was very blurry and flickering, Philica still managed to stand up in the lab, supporting herself on the table.

After Luo Wei showed her the surrounding scenery, he also felt that he had vaguely seen this scene somewhere before.

Philica: "The place you are in now... could be the site where ancient humans used magical technology to create magical weapons..."

Luo Wei then remembered when he had seen it.

When I first met her and captured her, the weapons manufacturing site of the Hooffire Empire in the God War Ruins was similar to this, or even a little smaller.

Just then, Lu Yi suddenly sensed something.

"It's in that passageway! It's very close!"

Luo Wei's expression darkened. He entrusted Lu Yi to Anai Ning's care and then rushed off in that direction.

In the long corridor, a flamboyant girl wearing a hunter's hat was squatting beside a box, her long lion tail swinging leisurely behind her.

"Mmm, mmm~"

She was engrossed in munching on the dried fish spread out in the paper when she suddenly felt a gust of wind blow by.

"?"

As soon as she raised her head to look in that direction, a figure emanating a reddish-gray aura surged from the passageway, charging towards her with a murderous intent—

Female Demon Goddess: ∑っ°Д°;
"Meow!!!!????!"
