Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 52: Slate Corridor

As a wanderer mentor, Sheldon naturally wouldn't lack the means to fly over eaves and walls, and it would not be a problem for Cyril to jump and charge with one hand, rushing into the cave.

When the half-lizardman saw that Cyril took advantage of those magic touch vine nets to take off on the ground and landed firmly in the cave, he couldn't help opening his mouth wide, and after a long while, he spit out a sentence of exclamation:
"Is your Silver Blade Knights all charging like this?"

Cyril said a few words politely, then looked around.

There is only a short section of the rough cavern, followed by the ground paved with special stone bricks, extending to a place beyond the sight.

Cyril turned around and looked at Sheldon who was leaning against the stone wall with his arms folded: "Mr. Sheldon, I think you can explain something about this ruin."

Sheldon took a deep breath, wanderers are good at seeing the pros and cons, of course he knows what to do now.

Although still very upset with Cyril, Sheldon calmly said:

"I was hired by the Duke to investigate this ruin. According to what the Duke said, I want to take the green fragment from the chest of a skeleton."

"Green shards?" Cyril considered the word, and if he was right, he should be talking about the shards of the Corrupted Orb.

And Sheldon continued:

"When I entered the ruins for the first time, it went very smoothly. This place is indeed the burial place of a Lich, and I also saw his bones.

It was scattered on the ground in such a broken way, without any funerary objects around, only some broken walls.I found where its sternum is, but I didn't see the green fragment that the Duke mentioned.

Just as I was going to search, the ground in the middle of the ruins suddenly collapsed, and then I saw the underground palace on the second floor - you must not be able to imagine what is in the underground palace, there is no such thing in any underground palace ! "

As he said it, the horror he saw that day seemed to appear in his mind, and his lips trembled and said:

"There are hundreds of giant bone beasts!"

Pale skeletons walked among the wreckage of the old city, surrounded by skeletons sitting on a high platform with crooked heads——

After listening to his description, Cyril was calm on the surface, and kept searching for relevant information in his mind, but found no clues.

A skull with a crooked head?That should be the dead lich.But since the lich is dead, how can there be spare energy to wake up the skeleton guards?

Not to mention the giant white bone beast—although Cyril didn't know what the size of the giant white bone beast that Sheldon was talking about was, it probably wouldn't be smaller than the ice-skinned demon bear.

But where can it supply so many bone frames?This is the northern border of La Rochelle, which was the territory of La Rochelle hundreds of years ago.

Cyril was puzzled, he had to see the situation on the spot if he really wanted to know the situation.At this time, he probably understood why Sheldon insisted that he bring Caroline and Mia in.

He guessed that he wanted the two girls to be bait to lure away those giant bone beasts, so as to complete the task.

Cyril's heart sank. Sure enough, Sheldon wasn't a good guy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do things like stealing the crown in the game.

After entering the tunnel, the space suddenly opened up a lot.The silver light shines on the surroundings, even the walls are not rough rock walls, but carefully crafted bluestone slabs with fine patterns engraved on them, making Cyril stop to look at them.

He stretched out his hands to touch the patterns, the workmanship was so fine that it didn't feel rough, and the lines were extremely smooth, like paintings with special meanings——

"The walls are beautifully painted!"

Acheson's voice startled Cyril.Cyril turned his head to the side, and saw the half-lizard who was nearly a head taller than himself was seriously touching the stone slab with his thick fingers, nodded while touching, and said seriously:

"Well, well, that's what it means, that's how it is."

"Acheson, do you understand?"

Sheldon was puzzled, and Cyril was equally puzzled—although he could feel that it was a painting, it was nothing more than that.

They couldn't even tell whether the lines were depicting characters or scenes. They were randomly intertwined, like several chaotic paintings stacked together, making them even more chaotic.

"Of course, this part of the painting is that many creatures have come here one after another, voluntarily giving their lives...the rest can't be seen clearly."

"Then what about this piece over here?" Cyril asked anxiously, without asking why Acheson could understand the picture.

"The content is the same, every group of five stone slabs tells the same thing, but the clarity is different." Acheson touched his chin, wondering, "But what exactly does it want to say? "

But what is it trying to say?

Cyril was also puzzled.

Tombs and underground palaces are two common types of ruins.The structure of the former is relatively simple. If there are treasures in it, they are all concentrated around the owner of the tomb, or in the funerary room.

The latter is even bigger, like a square or a small village. As for the complexity, it depends on how many floors it has.

Relatively speaking, the number of monsters in underground palaces is more than that in tombs, but the number of treasures is less—unless it is those underground palaces with special legends, the income from treasures is definitely lower than that in tombs.

But Cyril has never seen a passage with an underground palace, and he will try to describe a thing repeatedly with pictures that ordinary humans cannot understand.

"It's over."

He stopped in front of a smooth stone wall that suddenly appeared in front of him, held up the sword in his hand, and let the silver light illuminate this small area.

"Is there no way to go?" Acheson frowned, stretched out his hand and pushed on the stone wall, motionless.

"Maybe we're going the wrong way." Sheldon said, "Maybe there's another passage in the magic touch vine net, and we've gone the wrong way—"

He hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly felt someone glared at him. He looked where the feeling came from, but it was Cyril who rolled his eyes, and then said to Acheson:
"Captain Acheson, please push this stone wall hard."

"Full strength?" Acheson asked in confusion, seeing Cyril nodding his head in agreement, he took two steps back, then rushed towards the stone wall, and slammed into it with all his might:

"Humph, hum, hum, ah ah ah ah!"

Acheson swore that he had never exerted his full strength before. The thin dragon blood in the lizard blood seemed to be stimulated by its movements. He felt that he could even throw a bear five meters away.

And this force really paid off, suddenly he heard a "click", and then the stone wall in front of him shook violently, and was slowly pushed back by him——

"Ivor, this really works!"

Acheson exclaimed in surprise, the strength in his hands did not relax at all, the next moment he felt that the stone wall in front of him suddenly lost resistance, and then collapsed backwards with a bang!

The long corridor suddenly became clear in an instant, but before the three of them had time to rejoice, the moment they poked their heads, their faces changed——

They stood in mid-air, with a colosseum-like building under their feet.

Heavy bone monsters are distributed among them, and the whole square is illuminated by a string of green lights.

Even though Sheldon had already described it once, Cyril still couldn't help but lose his mind when he actually saw it.

But the next moment, his attention was attracted to the bottom: there, a black figure was tiptoeing towards a bear-shaped bone——

This underground palace is really being visited first!

　The income increase situation is not ideal. Huh, it is obviously a very good recommendation position on the app. Why am I so stretched.

　　Tickets haven't changed much, are they all collected by robots? I'm so panicked.
