Chapter 156 Surge and Moth

Steam Carriage Stopped in a big town.

This town near the river relies on fishing for a living, and it is not far from Jianhai City, so it is much more prosperous than ordinary towns. The specific location of the cemetery was five kilometers east of the town. At this moment, after the steam carriage stopped, a few people walked to the destination.

Sam and Daryl both carry a large suitcase along the way.

There are actually a lot of explosives stored in it, and then there are all kinds of things, such as books, pen and ink and so on.

“This is a corpse spray, we all spray it, so that we won’t be injured by Corpse Qi in that ancient site. After the official mining, there are several living corpses inside, it should be The reason for being affected by extraordinary power.” Ferranka took a bottle of transparent spray and sprayed some on his body.

Romon did the same.

Then a few people walked into this large cemetery, and Jianhai’s army guarded outside the cemetery to prevent urban residents from approaching, affecting development work or being injured by living corpses.

These soldiers strictly guarded their posts. Even when they saw Ferranka, the leader of the research team, they didn’t let them go. They showed their identification before letting everyone in.

There are kerosene street lamps that were just built, and it is not dark and gloomy at all even at night. The four of them walked on the stone pavement and heard the voice of in a frenzy in front.

A large tent appeared before me.

In each tent, there are people going in and out. Some of them are carrying kerosene lamps, while others are taking some food to find a place to sit and eat.

“These are people from other groups and have little to do with us. Although they all belong to the Bureau of Investigation, each department has a clear division of labor, and we only need to identify the documents.”

p>

Ferranka showed a resentful expression like being abandoned by the beginning and the end.

Romon followed his gaze and didn’t hold back for a while. Next to the big tent in front, he cleared out an open space with piles of slate, wood and animal skins piled up on it.

I don’t know how these hides and wooden boards are preserved, and they haven’t been corrupted for so long.

“Let’s start working, the next task is not easy, we need a quiet environment, because once this kind of work is disturbed, it may be lost, and even we ourselves will be negatively affected. .”

Ferranka spoke to the Chief-In-Charge here and positioned the marquee to work.

Then Darryl and Sam quickly moved the documents beside them into the tent, and then began to work together.

Ferranka saw the material piled up like a hill, and the whole figure was like an eggplant beaten by frost, with a hopeless expression, “With this workload, we don’t even think about taking a vacation for a month!”

Darryl complained to Romon next to him, “That’s how our boss is. There are as many nonsense as ships passing by in the middle of the sea every day. When he stops talking nonsense, I find it strange.”

“Hey Darryl, I’m still here! Are you trying to piss me off and take over as my team leader?”

Ferranka’s expression exaggerated .

Sam was already at work and started sorting through the pile of material.

It looks like these guys are on good terms.

Romon laughed , didn’t chat with this group of guys, but also put in work, time is very precious, he doesn’t have to read everything here like Ferranka.

Like Dorothy said, just look at some symbolically, then expand and print some to take back.

He only earns three gold pounds a week, and he doesn’t even have life insurance. Why do he work so hard?

However, if you want to complete Mrs. Field’s commission, it’s not good to be too perfunctory, and you need to carefully control the details.

“Is this cuneiform?”

Romon was stunned when he took the first board. Dude, it’s all cuneiform, a little fuzzy, but most of it can be seen clearly.

There are very few people who know this type of text, and it needs professional counterparts to recognize it. If Romon doesn’t know a thing or two about this kind of language, it can be said that he doesn’t know anything about it. Fortunately, the boxes that Ferranka and the others brought in contained translations in various languages, including the counterparts in cuneiform.

Romon picked up the pair of translations, and then checked the text on the board one after another, which seemed very laborious, and even read a sentence several times over and over again.

And these words have a special magic, which makes people feel dizzy when they read them, it seems that several needles are stuck in their temples, and their ears keep echoing as if they came from the void. Whisper.

“Axator… Gumic… all beings…”

There are a lot of intermittent content, but none of them are real. The first two are most likely names. As for the names of people, places, or items, Romon doesn’t know.

The content recorded on this board has no value. If you can understand the content of the whole board, you may gain some really useful knowledge, but many cuneiform scripts are not recorded in the translation version, and Some translations are conjectures.

This also means that even by half-guess, it is difficult to figure out the above content.

This point was also confirmed by Ferranka, and the expert of the research team expressed his incompetence and believed that this piece of wood was only valuable for burning fire.

“Romon, you have to be careful. If you feel that it is a little obscure to read, or even physically resists, then you have to stop immediately.” Ferranka felt that the Holy Amethyst Academy sent over ‘s temporary colleague is not annoying, so the word Mr. has not been added at this moment, which is to treat him as a friend.

Romon nods and continues to flip through the other boards.

After looking at it piece by piece, he realized how troublesome the job was. Not only do you have to read these nutritious things word by word, endure mental torture, but also hold back the various whispers that ring in your ears from time to time.

These Ghost God whispers are unbearable.

Romon has two skills obtained in the Ancient God Library, and he can’t read it all the time, while Daryl and Sam are mainly responsible for sorting, and Ferranca is the main one who is responsible for identifying. strength.

This guy looks like an Old Fox on the surface, but he is really meticulous and terrifying in his work.

3 hours straight.

Romon finished today’s work and rested on the stool next to the tent. Darryl and Sam had already run out of spirit strength.

Only Ferranka was still sitting in front of the pile of planks and slates, working attentively, like a ruthless reading machine.

Good guy.

It turns out that you are the most curly one!

When Romon saw him, he wanted to see those guys who always say that they don’t study, they just go home and play, but they can get the first place in every exam.

Ignoring Ferranka, Romon stepped out of the tent and watched the situation all around.

Although a group of people lived in the cemetery, no one was afraid.

There are dozens of awakeneds here, all of whom are experienced guys from the Bureau of Investigation. There are military guards around the cemetery, so they are extremely safe.

The mining of this relic is carried out in secret, and their food and clothing are all in the cemetery. Although I don’t know the specific reason for the concealment, I want to hope that there will be less trouble.

Romon was thinking this, but the kerosene lamp in the tent suddenly flickered a few times, and then went out.

There is a glass cover on the outside of the kerosene lamp. Even if it is carried on a rainy day, it is impossible to turn off. At this moment, it is gone, and everyone feels that something is wrong.

Darryl and Ham immediately released their psionic energy, and Ferranka also stopped reading, looking all around with a gloomy and uncertain expression.

I don’t know when, a piece of frost appeared on the ground, intertwined in layers, exuding a biting chill.

Darryl clenched his fists, “Team Leader, something is coming out from under the ice!”

Romon also walked quickly into the tent at this time, seeing this suddenly The ice layer that appeared was a little weird in his eyes. The layers of ice radiated psionic energy and gave him the feel of an old world.

This is from the old world? Is it an alien beast that came out, or who caused the anomaly?

Isn’t it only when the cracks of the old days are opened that the alien beasts in the world of the old days can run out?

It is not easy to open the cracks of the past.

Except for some special cases, generally speaking cracks of the old days will not appear, and if you want to actively cause them, you need to pay a lot of money.

Before Romon had learned about the characteristics of the crack of the old days because of the encounter with Wudun, so at this moment it was determined that it was definitely not caused by the crack of the old days, but something special.

Romon didn’t ask much at the moment.

The solid ice covering the ground gave out bursts of chilly air, and then a twisted shadow began to condense in the tent one after another.

Everyone reacted quickly.

Darryl suddenly fell to his knees and made a strange handprint of one after another with his hands, showing a trace of pain on his face.

And then he all around, there are also shadow-like lines appearing all around, like sharp arrows stabbing those things that emerge from under the ice. Ferranka put on his glasses, took out a booklet with gilding edges from his body, bit his finger and smeared it with blood.

While smearing, he argues with the courage of one’s convictions, chanting a harsh, temple-stinging incantation.

Then see.

Franka all around There was fire, like blood! These flames have no temperature, completely different from the fiery flames of the Church of the Forge.

But these flames work wonderfully.

In a short period of time, the ice cubes on the ground melted thoroughly, but the coldness in the air did not decrease, but continued to become more serious.

Several people felt that their blood was starting to coagulate.

“Let’s go, this is not the place to stay, there must be something wrong with the tomb.”

The expression on Ferranka’s face was full of trouble.

Romon also felt very unlucky. He had only been here for dozens of days, so why did he have a problem on the first day he came?

The four of them walked out of the tent and planned to move towards the developed tomb. As a result, the cold air in the air quickly dissipated, leaving only patches of water on the ground.

The problem seems to have been resolved, and a guy who seems to be the manager of the investigation bureau ran over, “Mr. Ferranka, don’t be impatient, just now there are some small things from the ancient tomb. The situation has been resolved. You can go back to rest in peace.”

It really was the situation at the ancient tomb.

But they didn’t intend to let a few people pass by.

This made Romon even more puzzled. It stands to reason that they are all in the same bureau.

It is reasonable to say such a big thing, no matter what, they should be told what happened.

But the guy in front of him didn’t mean it.

Franka frowned and said with the same dissatisfaction: “What happened? Yasuo, if you don’t tell me, how can we continue to work as if nothing happened?”

“It’s just a little trouble. If there is a real danger, it must be the first among us miners to encounter it! Don’t worry, you will not be in any danger.”

This guy named Yasuo, no matter what, refused to reveal the slightest information.

Unfortunately, several people could only return. Ferranka deduced that things were not that simple based on his own experience, and said to Romon: “Although I don’t know what the group of people inside is doing, it is better to be careful. Be vigilant.”

Romon naturally knew how powerful it was, the cold air almost froze his blood just now, not something to be taken lightly.

The big tent is filled with a lot of slate and wooden boards. It is the place for work. Romon and the others rest in a separate tent. Aside from the environment, the food here is really good, three meals a day are enough for all kinds of food. But what happened tonight was still lingering in Romon’s mind.

The mining graveyard is several hundred meters ahead.

“Would you like to go and have a look? But if you go there rashly, it will be easy to be discovered, and there must be a lot of secret guards, which is not easy.”

Romon said in his heart thought secretly.

He took out the relic, the Hypocrite Mask, which he had just obtained, thinking about whether to take the risk.

If he wears this thing, and it is night again, the chance of him being discovered is very small. If he doesn’t know what happened here, he will never be at peace.

It doesn’t matter if the danger in the ancient tomb will not affect him, but it has just been proved that the danger inside is likely to affect the entire cemetery.

Do what you say.

Romon quickly pulls out the Hypocrite Mask, and after putting it on his face, he feels like a block of ice is covering his cheek.

He doesn’t know what he looks like now.

Because this is the first time I have used the mask since I got it. Romon hadn’t had time to test the mask’s effect of changing his appearance, concealing his aura, and reducing his sense of presence.

The night was quiet and no one was around.

Romon quietly walked out of his tent without making any sound. There was no one else around the tent where he was staying, and there was only a dim light outside the cemetery in the distance.

The sound of soldiers moving in the distance.

Romon put on the mask and felt that everything in the world was quiet, as if he was wrapped in a mysterious veil, very safe.

The occasional insect chirping in the dark night is annoying.

Romon didn’t move in, but observed the environment around the tent. After confirming that no one noticed, he swayed lightly and came to the darkest place next to him.

The moon was very pale, obscured by dark clouds, and Romon moved quickly through the shadows.

There are very few people who will continue to work at night. Mining ancient tombs is as risky as classifying those documents. If you don’t rest and work tiredly, you may cause problems first.

But there is still someone’s voice in front of the tomb door of several hundred meters.

Romon came to the place near the entrance and quietly climbed up a big tree. He had the ability of a hypocrite mask to hide his breath. He crouched on the branch and no one saw him.

There are four people at the entrance of the tomb.

Through Romon’s perception, these four people are all awakened and of Second Rank. Although it is late at night, they still abide by their duties and are not lazy at all.

The four are here, and it’s hard for Romon to get in.

“It seems that we can only go back first, and then we will find out the guards here, and then come and have a look. I will ask Ferranka tomorrow and see if he can find a way, let us enter.

” Take a look inside the ancient tomb.” Romon felt a little weird in his heart, although he didn’t come to work for the Bureau of Investigation, but they were also partners, and they didn’t even have the right to take a look.

Now in a life-threatening situation.

He naturally wouldn’t stay here foolishly without knowing anything. If he couldn’t get the specific information in the ancient tomb, if he couldn’t figure out the source of the previous danger, then Romon was going to run first. If you don’t know where the danger is, you can only stay away from the danger area.

But as Romon slowly backed away, ready to leave.

He suddenly noticed that in the darkness in the distance, another shadowy silhouette was quietly approaching. The other party hid behind a rugged rock, covered his face, and was dressed in black clothed. His two exposed eyes looked at the entrance of the tomb below, and he seemed to be paying attention just like him.

Romon quickly hid behind a nearby bush.

With the concealment effect of the hypocrite mask, and the cover of night, Romon and the bushes fuse together, and the concealment effect reaches the extreme.

The man observed for a while and found that he had no chance to enter and left immediately.

However, a few minutes after leaving, the guy went back the same way, hid behind the stone and took a sneak look at it to make sure that he didn’t reveal his whereabouts, and then he retreated safely.

Romon in the shadows saw it all, and quietly retreated into the tent.

The next few days.

Romon spends the day sorting through the contents of planks and slates.

A lot of the sentences on these things cannot be translated, and what can be translated are only some strange and strange legends, or some bizarre memorabilia, as well as true and false biographies.

These are basically worthless, and there is no record of the era of giant dragon, except to bring the expansion of a few slates back to the Amethyst Library, there is simply nothing to gain.

But to Romon’s surprise, after reading the words on these slates and boards, he was able to get Learning Energy Value.

And at night, Romon turned into a night traveler and went to inquire about the situation of the ancient tomb, but he never found the opportunity to enter.

On the fourth day, this situation finally ushered in a change.

Because another danger has come!

The danger this time lasted longer than the last time. At that time, Romon was eating with the three of Ferranka, and they were eating well, but the mutation suddenly came, making them all completely unprepared.

This time is a serious ground fissure!

The ground of the cemetery cracked one after another huge cracks, and even people almost fell, the cracks were deep and invisible darkness, although it was only for a moment, but Romon also felt the extremely foul breath. Upload from below.

In just a moment, these cracks have disappeared, and it seems that some awakened who can use the power of the earth element have shot.

But it still caused quite a stir.

Not only the research group assisted by Romon, but also several other groups, such as the logistics support group, all had opinions.

Even the leaders of the military outside came in to inquire about the situation. If such a big thing happened, they could not ask.

Under pressure from all sides.

The mining team that had the most contact with the core of the ancient tomb finally made a step back and asked everyone to go down and have a look.

The composition of the mining team is very complicated. In addition to the people from the Investigation Bureau, there are also experts from the Archaeological Bureau and the Great Families. The relationship is intricate. It seems that the major noble families in Jianhai are all in this mining team. People are stuffed inside.

Thinking of this scene, Romon felt that mining at this time was not simple, and there were some secrets hidden behind it.

“Look, it’s this stone gate. There are several restrictions on the spiritual circles on it. The previous Frozen Spirit Array and the previous Earth Splitting Spirit Array were all broken by us. The previous The change outside is caused by the broken spirit formation, and we don’t want that, but if we want to continue mining, we must break the stone gate.”

A man who looks like the leader of the mining team said sincerely.

The explanation he gave Romon didn’t believe, the guy was lying!

There are also unbelievers at the scene, but after they observed the stone gate up close, they found that there was indeed an obvious restriction on the spiritual circle, and they couldn’t find a place to refute it for a while.

apart from this , there is no clue whatsoever in the places that were mined earlier.

“We will continue to break the ban on this stone gate, you should go back first, please rest assured, your safety will definitely be guaranteed, and everyone will do your part. Work is fine, this time division of labor and cooperation to mine this ancient tomb is the will of the Queen Your Majesty, we just need to follow her orders.”

The man said again.

When everyone saw this, they could only return to their respective work areas. From Ferranka’s complaints, Romon knew that the Bureau of Investigation was not monolithic.

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.

Where there are rivers and lakes, there will be competition for power.

As the No. 1 violent agency in Jianhai, the Bureau of Investigation fights against all kinds of strange and awakened strongest forces.

Although Queen Cynthia has always wanted to be in her own hands, those big noble families are not just decorations. With mutual checks and balances, the Investigation Bureau has become what it is now. When there is nothing to do, it is natural to say hello to me, hello to everyone, but when it comes to real interests, the Department of Various Sects will not give in half a step.

“Let’s go, these guys won’t tell us the truth. It is estimated that there are some good treasures in the ancient tomb. They want to hide it and divide it by themselves. Those of us at the bottom can’t get a bite. Soup. Those guys in the Bureau of Investigation are just pigs that eat everything!” Ferranka complained in the tent at the workplace.

Many tablets, boards, and slates have been piled up here.

The speed at which they translate and summarize is far slower than the speed at which these historical materials are sent, but there are indeed some interesting things, such as some primordial potion formulas recorded on the slate. These primordial potion formulas have evolved into the current potions.

So these recipes are actually very valuable.

Romon transcribes some of them, and then goes back and tries to see if they can actually be dispensed. If these primordial potions can be dispensed, it will be of great help.

After a while.

Romon returns to his tent.

Ferranka didn’t need his own help, Romon came here most important or for the Academy’s library to sort out a useful ancient book to take home.

When night came again, Romon put on a mask and turned into a dark shadow to sneak out, but he stopped before he walked far and looked towards the trees next to him.

Under the cover of night.

There was a silhouette moving quietly, and the other party also made a disguise, quietly moved towards the other side of the cemetery.

The entire cemetery is not small, and there are many trees planted in it. The environment is complex, so it is very simple to hide the silhouette and move in it. Of course, this person didn’t think that Romon was quietly hiding in the dark and watching him.

“This guy is not the one I saw that night. It seems that other people have been disturbed or curious about the tomb, and have begun to act.” Romon secretly said in one’s heart.

He quietly followed behind the man.

As a result, Romon found several guys operating in the dark. These guys were all dressed up in disguise, but they were all seen by Romon.

Good guy.

There is not only one person who complains about the mining team, but these people are obviously more interested in the treasures in the ancient tomb.

Although I don’t know if these guys have seen each other, Romon can only make sure that he is absolutely not seen and discovered. With the mask of a hypocrite, his breath is hidden to the extreme.

He followed this guy to a small wasteland behind the cemetery, but the man actually disappeared right under his nose.

Romon was absolutely right.

This person just disappeared suddenly.

Not even a single spiritual energy fluctuation.

After waiting here for half of the time to disappear, Romon made sure that there was nothing wrong with the surroundings before approaching this small piece of wasteland overgrown with withered grass. After fumbling with his hands, he quickly found a loose piece of land. After opening the land, a dark passage with the smell of earth appeared.

Looking at this passage, Romon’s eyes were full of surprise.

This passage also leads to the underside of the ancient tomb. Although he really wanted to go down and have a look, he thought of that person going down. If he rushed in without knowing the situation, he would probably collide with the other party directly. full of.

It wasn’t beautiful back then.

Who knows if there will be a few burly men in the tunnel, waiting for him to walk right into a trap?

Two steps back, Romon hid again, relying on his hypocritical ability to hide his breath with a mask, his whole body and darkness merged into one.

After two hours, the man finally came out. It’s just that his breath is very wrong, and his spiritual energy is fluctuating on his body, very unstable, and it seems that he may lose control at any time.

But after taking a few steps, the person’s breath quickly stabilized, and his pace was steady, no different from just now.

Romon’s eyes grew suspicious.

He waited until the black clothed person left, and then came to the entrance covered by the turf again. After opening the passage, he walked in cautiously.

It’s very dark inside, and the space is cramped.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Romon felt that the passage was long, winding, and had to pass through several forks. In the end, he reached a flat land, which seemed to be the end of the place. Romon searched all around, and finally found a stone gate that had grown together with the rock wall and was almost indistinguishable.

This stone gate is the same as the one the mining team found ahead.

He was about to go up close to see if there was anything wrong with the stone gate, which had kept the man here for so long, but a sudden smell of blood in the air stopped him.

A very light, very faint smell of blood.

Romon’s eyes were vigilant, he looked around, and finally confirmed the source of the fresh blood energy smell from the sand under his feet. This is also the reason why his sensitivity to blood has greatly increased after he has the ancient python ability.

Romon covered his hands with 【Rock-colored Scale Armor】, stretched directly into the ground, and started to do a primordial exercise, digging the ground.

Soon he felt that he had touched something different from the dirt, it was a corpse.

The hands twitched, the soil was turned over, and the corpses were dug out.

The corpse was still fresh and not long dead, and Romon was lost in thought in the dark, and this was the guy he had followed all the way.

He is now too dead to die.

But if he died here, who was the guy who just came out of the passage? Obviously, the two are similar in body shape, dress, and even walking.

Romon lifted the mask off the man’s face.

It turns out that under the mask is a face with withered muscles, no skin, it seems to have been forcibly peeled off, and there is no blood energy at all, as if it was sucked dry by someone Nutrients…

Romon took a deep breath.

There is something weird about this.

He directly peeled off the man’s whole body, and found that there were no wounds on his body, his body was intact, but his face was peeled off.

Just as he was lost in thought.

Suddenly there was a new change on the corpse.

A blood line appeared on the corpse. These blood lines were intertwined and interspersed, and soon a lifelike moth pattern was formed.

Is this a clue left by the dead?

Romon watched the moth pattern vigilantly, and after memorizing it, he buried the guy again, cleaned up all traces of his past, and quickly returned to the tent.

This time the mission is very wrong, it seems that the water is a little deep!

Someone had died, and he was thinking about how to deal with it when he went back.
