Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 58 Secret Room
On the second-floor terrace, Robin only saw the system alert before he was sure that Raymond was dead.

Only then did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

He knew very well that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so he quickly adjusted his state and began to search the castle.

He knew that the lord's wife and children were probably hiding in a dark room and would not show up for a while, and it would be difficult for him to find them in a short time.

So he decisively gave up looking for the darkroom and ran straight to the study and collection room.

Entering the study, Robin began to search quickly like a hungry cheetah.

He flipped through the books on the bookshelf one by one, and the friction of paper was particularly clear in the silent room.

In the collection room, he did not miss any corner and carefully searched for things that might be valuable.

After a lot of trouble, he only found a thousand gold coins and a few ordinary breathing manuals.

What surprised him was that the Earth Dragon Breathing Technique was also among them.

But after he read it carefully, he was overwhelmed with disappointment, as it did not contain the key breathing method that led to the realm of Great Knight.

Robin became more and more annoyed when he thought about how he risked his life and finally got rid of Raymond, but got only this.

He tightly grasped the breathing technique book in his hand, frowned, and wondered what to do next.

"It's just three sets of ordinary knight breathing techniques. What a hassle! I should have left him alive earlier." Robin muttered in frustration. He subconsciously turned to leave, and in his distracted state, he kicked the chair next to him.

The kick made him lose his balance and he stumbled towards the bookshelf.

In a panic, he stretched out his hand to steady himself, and in his haste he pressed down a row of books on the bookshelf, and the books immediately fell down with a crash.

At this moment, a series of "squeaking" sounds suddenly rang out, as if an ancient mechanism was awakened.

Robin turned his head in surprise, only to see the wall next to him slowly move, revealing an underground passage.

The passage was filled with an old and mysterious atmosphere, which attracted him to explore.

Robin took a deep breath, calmed his nervous mood, and walked down the underground passage carefully.

The passage was dimly lit, with the torches on the wall flickering faintly, illuminating his slightly wary figure.

When he finally arrived underground, the scene before him shocked him. It turned out to be a secret room.

After taking a closer look, Robin was shocked. He realized that this secret room was the evil place where Lord Blot used to absorb the life force of the seven knights.

In the corner of the secret room, a set of profound breathing techniques was engraved on the wall, emitting a mysterious and evil aura.

On the other side of the secret room, Eric's body came into view. He died with his eyes wide open, as if filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.

Robin's body trembled violently, a deep sense of remorse and grief welling up in his heart. He slowly walked over to Eric, squatted down, and said in a choked voice, "I'm sorry I'm late. I will definitely avenge you and Lily." He then reached out and gently stroked Eric's open eyes, allowing him to rest in peace.

At this moment, the hatred and anger in Robin's heart burned even more fiercely, and he secretly vowed to make the culprits pay a heavy price.

Robin slowly stood up and looked around warily.

There is a strange atmosphere in this secret room, which seems to suggest that there are more unknown secrets or dangers hidden here.

The walls of the secret room were engraved with strange runes, which flickered with faint light, as if telling ancient and mysterious spells.

Robin approached the wall and carefully observed the runes, trying to find some clues. However, the runes were obscure and difficult to understand, and he racked his brains but could not decipher their meaning.

But based on his past experience, he could feel that these runes were not ordinary decorations, and might be related to some powerful magic or mechanism.

In a corner of the secret room, there is a huge sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus was exquisitely carved with patterns that seemed to depict a fierce battle. Robin's heart moved and he slowly walked towards the sarcophagus.

When he approached the sarcophagus, a chill hit him in the face, making him shiver.

He reached out and gently touched the sarcophagus. The surface was icy cold, as if it came from another world.

The lid of the sarcophagus was slightly loose. Robin hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to push the lid open.

As the lid of the sarcophagus slowly moved, a pungent smell hit Robin in the face, and he quickly covered his mouth and nose.

After the smell dissipated a little, he looked into the sarcophagus and saw a corpse dressed in gorgeous clothes lying inside.

The body was well preserved, as if it had just fallen asleep.

When Robin saw the face on the corpse clearly, he opened his mouth in shock. The corpse was the Great Knight Damia who had just died some time ago.

He also attended the funeral of Grand Knight Damia and buried him personally.

The next second, Robin found that there was a weird smile on the face of the corpse, which was creepy.

His fingers accidentally touched the corpse's clothes, which instantly turned into powder, revealing a black crystal on the corpse's chest.

The crystal emitted a mysterious light, as if it possessed some powerful power, constantly absorbing the energy of the Damia Knight's body.

When Robin was about to pick up the crystal to find out what was inside, he suddenly heard a slight sound coming from the entrance of the secret room.

He was startled and quickly put down the crystal and hid to the side of the sarcophagus.

I saw a dark shadow slowly walking into the secret room, and the figure was looming in the dim light.

The shadow seemed to sense Robin's presence, stopped, and looked around vigilantly.

Robin held his breath, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and he held his weapon tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

As the shadow gradually approached, Robin finally saw his face clearly. It turned out to be one of the wizard apprentices who had fought with Lord Blot on the city wall before.

There was a crazy look on his face and a greedy gleam in his eyes.

When he saw the black crystal in the sarcophagus, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he reached out to take the crystal without hesitation.

The moment his hand touched the crystal, the crystal suddenly emitted a strong light, illuminating the entire secret room as bright as day.

After the light disappeared, the wizard apprentice's body began to undergo strange changes. His skin gradually became transparent, and his blood vessels and bones were clearly visible. He seemed to have turned into a monster.

The monster roared and lunged towards Robin.

Robin quickly jumped out from behind the sarcophagus and started a fierce battle with the monster.

The monster was extremely powerful, and each attack carried a tremendous force, so Robin could only barely resist.

During the battle, Robin discovered that the monster's weakness seemed to be the black crystal on its chest.

So, he seized an opportunity, rushed towards the monster, and stabbed the crystal with the sword in his hand.

The monster sensed Robin's intentions and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

The weapon pierced the crystal, and it shattered instantly with a loud bang.

The monster's body collapsed to the ground and turned into a pool of blood.

On the blood, there was a parchment drawing with some strange and bizarre human body drawings on it.
