Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 129 Underground
After entering this desolate ancient castle, Amanda did not encounter the grandeur or wonders he had imagined.

This is the most ordinary stone castle. Because no one has maintained it all year round, the stone platform without any windows is covered with moss, and bright green juice condenses on the corners. In various dark places, the deposited mud layers have It's as thick as half a finger.

The atmosphere is very humid. Walking in the corridors of the castle, you can't feel the so-called European medieval cultural style at all. It is even a bit too primitive and barbaric.

Because many of the stones that built the castle were not even carefully carved, but were just polished into a square shape and stuffed in.

Those rough nicks and bumps don't make people feel the heavy sense of history, they just feel simple.

Many times, the so-called preserved buildings with profound historical and cultural heritage are not as exquisite as we imagine and represent the wisdom of the ancients.

They are just ordinary buildings built by people at different times in the long history.

This place has become a paradise for insects and is very suitable as a laying ground for some insects.

The tour guide’s name is Zesu, a local young man.

He was very familiar with this place, but he couldn't think of anything to introduce it to the people in the college.

Because every time he opens his mouth to count the amazing features of this castle from his childhood to now, the professor will be like a few treasures, counting the countless treasures of this castle that was built hundreds of years ago. More charm points out.

It's as if he is more familiar than the local himself.

They spent half a day touring the entire castle, and couldn't find a single thing about the so-called flesh sacrifices, rat contamination and the like.

This is a very ordinary castle.

As for the original residential area outside the castle, it has been covered by forests, and there are no clues worth exploring from the broken bricks and tiles.

In the end, only the castle of the Delapore family was left leading to the cave in the distance where the source of the rat plague was found. The two places connected to each other have not been visited.

When he turned to the entrance of the underground passage, Omega detected in advance that behind the gate was not only the natural passage leading to the distant mountains, but also the tunnel leading to the underground that he had confirmed from the beginning.

The professor looked thoughtfully at the structure of the door and asked the tour guide:
"This door is completely different from the architectural style outside. Was it built by the people behind it?"

Zesu nodded to please and said:
"When Mr. Walter moved away, the rat plague hadn't happened for many years. But for the sake of safety, people still sealed up this passage. If you want to go in and have a look, it's not impossible, after all, there are also There is no danger."

He gradually walked to the gate.

This door is more than three meters high and two meters wide. It is made of a relatively strong and durable wood. After it is closed, it only uses a simple wood as a latch. You only need to lift the wood to enter.

Judging from the direction of the rocks behind it, the passage behind must be very vast.

Sure enough, after the door was opened, the front of the originally narrow passage instantly became wider.

It is hard to imagine that there is actually a space for the entire castle to exist under the castle.

Amanda hesitated and asked Omega:
"Before coming in, I mentally calculated the geographical location of this castle. There shouldn't be such a huge space behind this passage. Is there any distortion somewhere?"

Omega felt it carefully again and said:
"Nothing unusual was found. It's safe inside. The terrain of the passage leading here from the castle is actually sloping, but the amplitude is too small and you can't feel it. If you find the tunnel that leads directly to the underground later, Don't approach it just yet, it's very evil there. Other than that, everything is as the guide said."

Amanda looked at the professor, who was obviously aware of the abnormality.

However, he observed more carefully, compared the rock layers on the mountain wall, and came to a conclusion.

The entire castle was actually gradually collapsing downwards, but because the wild plants outside gradually became more numerous and covered most of the wall foundations, and the process was very slow, no one noticed.

The introduction of the hierarchical distribution of the stairs and floors inside the castle, coupled with this passage, was originally close to the underground location.

In fact, when they were here, they were closer to the ground than they looked from the outside.

After confirming that there was no risk of a one-time collapse of the mountain rocks in the underground space, everyone walked in.

In this space close to the castle, you can still see the remnants of some equipment left behind in the past. It seems that this place was used as a warehouse for a period of time, and you can also see some barns and farm tools.

Even some torture instruments were placed here. The rusty iron hooks clearly did not look like they were used to handle livestock.

Going further, there is not enough light in this underground space.

As the locals said, as the blood of this family gradually weakened, and even the last heir went to a foreign country, there has been no abnormal situation for a long time.

It seems that this time the search for the Delapore family will be in vain.

Anyway, the world is on the road to reform, and the inheritance of many mysterious things has disappeared.

Blake teased Amanda and said:
"Pearson said that wherever you go something will happen, but look here, we may be in the headquarters of some ancient evil inheritance, but nothing happens."

Amanda didn't know how to answer. If they took a step or two further, they would find a tunnel that was almost at a right angle and completely led deeper underground.

That's where Omega feels dangerous.

Fortunately, people were ready to leave at this time, and he was very happy. This so-called expedition happened without any accidents.

But God always seems to want to joke with him.

When people were about to turn back, the tour guide seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and said excitedly:
"Gentlemen, I remembered that there is a strange thing further ahead. It is a vertical passage. It is said to be the cemetery of the Delapore family. We don't know where it leads, but there has never been danger there. , if you are looking for something, maybe you can go and have a look."

The professor was obviously interested when he heard this. He liked the old-fashioned design of having an underground space underneath the underground space.

During this period of his travels, he encountered many families or tribes that inherited cult sacrifices and had this situation.

And even though he is here, there are still people from the combat team around him.

Adhering to the unique human spirit of exploring the unknown (seeking death), Professor.I was immediately ready to walk a little further to see what was in that vertical passage.

Amanda was a little helpless and said that the place might be dangerous.

But the professor said they were here to find the secrets of the Delapore family.

What's more, this unknown temptation is unavoidable for him.
