Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

The narrow passage could barely allow one person to pass through. Fang Yi had no chance to run in front of Gelbo to explore the way, so he had to follow the old man step by step.The circular passage is generally upward. Seeing that Gelbo, who was walking in front, suddenly disappeared, Fang Yi knew that the passage had come to an end.

Sure enough, Fang Yi hurried two steps and came to a small space only about ten feet square.Under the light of the torch, the ground is in a mess, full of broken wood chips and rags, and there is a continuous upward passage diagonally above.The old man Gelbo was squatting aside and observing the marks on the ground.

"This is... the treasure room?" Looking at the mess under his feet, Fang Yi looked at Gelbo and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, this is a small treasure room in Lisch Castle." Gelbo rummaged through the debris on the ground and replied without raising his head.

When Fang Yi used the exploration technique, all the hints he got were "the wall in front of him seems to have a long history", "the surrounding stones have been soaked by groundwater for a long time, and there is no trace of biological activity" and other nutritious words.

Looking at Gelbo who has been studying something with his head down, Fang Yi couldn't help asking, "It seems that this place has been patronized before. By the way, how did you know that there is a secret passage here?"

"Reading more books can not only broaden people's horizons, but also occasionally learn some little-known secrets. The Lixu family has been wealthy businessmen for several generations. How can no one pay attention to them?" Gelbo touched the The wall, said nonchalantly, raising his hand is another detection secret door.

Fang Yi was sweating immediately when he saw it, "You... Your spell today is not all prepared to detect secret doors, right?"

"Of course not, didn't you use a mage's hand before?" Gelbo said as a matter of course, still concentrating on his work, ignoring that his hands were covered with black and unknown objects, "There is a senior mage next to Li Xu, Staring at me every day, how can I have so much time to prepare advanced spells~”[

"But having said that," Gelbo turned his head to look at Fang Yi, with a strange look in his eyes, "it seems that the explosion you caused blows up that mage. That's the Lord of Star Twilight City Senior staff member~"

……

Fang Yi looked down at the experience, and after excluding the part obtained in normal battles, there was an extra part of the experience.It's a pity that the magic circle was set up by someone else in advance, and it's probably much worse than normal killing experience, which is a pity.

At this time, Gelbo's search also made progress. After a while of knocking, he pulled out a loose stone brick from the corner, then reached in without hesitation, and took out a long box, which he stuffed directly into it. into his arms.

"Go! The exit is just ahead." Gelbo beckoned to Fang Yi, and was about to go up immediately, but this time Fang Yi was well prepared, and grabbed the spirited old man, stretched out his fingers and shook him shook.

"Follow me, the city guards of Xingmu City are likely to have arrived." Fang Yi pulled Gaelbo behind him, held a torch and went into the passageway above the slope first, but did not see Gail behind him. Erbo looked at Fang Yi's back, smiled and shook his head.

The higher the passage, the steeper the slope. Fortunately, the depth of the dungeon is limited, and it didn't take long to climb to the end.

The head of the passageway was a big square box surrounded by stone slabs. Fang Yi tapped the stone wall lightly, and soon found that the stone wall on one side seemed to be hollow.

"There must be an exit here, look for a mechanism." Gelbo, who was walking "underneath", poked Fang Yi's foot and reminded him aloud.

Fang Yi looked around for a while, but found no holes or places that could be moved, so he tentatively tested the hollow stone slab, and immediately felt a gust of cool wind blowing by his ears, let it out!

However, Fang Yi, who was cautious, did not open the stone slab immediately, but listened to the movement outside, and after confirming that no one was there, he moved the stone slab to open a gap with both hands, climbed to the ground, and looked up. Leng.

It turned out that this exit was right in front of Lish Castle, and above the exit was the statue of Lish with a big belly.Fang Yi glanced at the haughty Li Xu on the stone platform, and said in his heart that this is really a cold world, fat brother, please leave~

After Gelbo got out of the hole under the stone platform, Fang Yi let go of his hand and watched the stone door slowly close, returning to its original state. From the outside, there was nothing unusual at all, and I am afraid there was no one there. I would have thought that there would be a secret exit under the public.

At this time, the lights around the castle were brightly lit, and the soldiers from Xingmu City made the castle completely unrecognizable, but the area of ​​the manor was too large, and the subordinates of the city lord of Xingmu City tried their best to surround the entire manor. Can spread out and look around.

Hey, it was indeed surrounded.Fang Yi sighed secretly, how could he escort the old man out now? [

"Why are you still standing there, let's go?"

Fang Yi felt that Gelbo beside him was poking him, and he spoke in an extremely relaxed tone, turning his head angrily, "Why are there so many people around..."

Fang Yi subconsciously closed his mouth after he finished speaking, because the old man beside him, Gelbo, had already stood up and raised his distinctive glasses with his hand, and his figure under the night sky suddenly turned upside down. The space becomes transparent.

Fang Yi's eyes widened: Damn... Isn't this a stealth skill?

"You still work part-time... Have you ever learned the skills of thieves?" Fang Yi looked suspiciously at the translucent figure close at hand, and asked uncertainly.

Gelbo's unclear figure moved, and Fang Yi could vaguely tell that the other party pointed to his monocle, "Young man, don't you know that there are such things as magic items? Hurry up~"

Fang Yi stared dumbfounded at Gail Boha, stomping on the lawn between the two roads and tiptoeing towards the south.Although the level of the old man's stealth skills is obviously not high, it is estimated to be at the first level.On this night with only a few moons, even without the blessing of sound movement, there would be no problem in trying to pass through the scattered guards safely.

People become smart when they grow old—Fang Yihu was next to Gelbo, and this sentence popped up in his mind again.Huh?Why use both?

***

The slums of Xingmu City have long been a mess, with family and friends reunited everywhere, and the release of emotions after life and death filled the slums with tears of joy and pain.

Fang Yi first went to the adventurer's hall to lead Xiao Xiaou out who had been waiting for a long time. The scene of the reunion of the uncle and nephew is needless to mention.The Xingmu City under the night is brightly lit at this time, and there are city guards in helmets and armor everywhere, holding torches, hunting down the culprit who destroyed Lixu Manor in the streets and alleys.

Fang Yi originally suggested that they find a hotel to take refuge, but Gelbo flatly rejected the proposal: the tavern and the hotel must have the eyeliner of the City Lord's Mansion, and I'm afraid they will be caught by the urn.Although under Gelbo's suggestion, several people came to the slums of Xingmu City.

Gelbo led Fang Yi and Xia Ou to turn left and right in the intricate alleys, and soon came to the back door of an ordinary hut, and knocked on the wooden door several times.

"Who!?" After a while, a man's voice came out of the room, but the voice was deliberately lowered, full of impatience and strong vigilance.

"Joel, it's me. Gelbo." Gelbo replied against the crack of the door.

Soon, there was a sound of pulling the door bolt in the house, followed by the wooden door being quickly pulled open, and a big man with a hatchet in his hand stepped out of the house.

"Galbo! It's really you! Thank God!!" The big man called Joel grabbed Gelbo's arm, looked at Fang Yi and Xia Ou behind Gelbo, and said in a low voice, " come on in!"

Fang Yi, who was standing at the back, looked left and right again, and after confirming that no one was following him, he followed the two people in front and filed into the room.

Joel turned around and inserted the wooden door, and immediately gave the old man Gelbo a tight hug: "God bless, I'm fine! I heard that you disappeared inexplicably before, and Xingmu City is also very chaotic recently, I thought you What happened!"

Gelbo laughed, introduced Xia Ou and Fang Yi to Joel, then sat at the simple wooden table, and talked about the recent experience with Joel.

Sitting on the side, Fang Yi looked around the room.Only one candle was lit, making the room look a little dark.However, it can still be seen that the house is full of things that are common in ordinary houses.However, Fang Yi found a few blacksmith hammers and a few iron hoes hanging on the roof in the corner. He thought that Joel should be a blacksmith who made farm tools.

"So that's the case, so Li Xu is dead?" Joel asked a little excitedly after hearing Gelbo's brief account of what happened, and sighing about the bizarre experience, "Are you sure? "

"If there are no accidents, he is indeed dead," Gelbo nodded. "Now your neighbors who were taken away should all be back."

"That's great. Let me tell you why there's so much noise outside." Joel stood up excitedly, "Then sit down for a while, and I'll go to the street ahead to have a look. Li Xu is dead! Haha, I should talk to everyone tomorrow Eat venison stew to celebrate, hahahaha~"

Joel whispered a few more words to Gelbo, brought some bowls of water to them, then turned and left the room in a hurry.Seeing Joel's happy expression, Fang Yixin said how people heard Li Xu's death as if it was New Year's Eve, it's really sad~

"Okay, we are safe here for the time being. Young man, let's talk about your business now," Gelbo patted Xia Ou on the shoulder beside him, making Xia Ou, who was full of excitement, sit down quietly, and turned his head to the other side Yi said, "How did Xia Ou find you?"

Originally coming out of the dark castle, Fang Yi’s nervousness has not been completely relieved, because the city guards of Xingmu City may return to the slums to arrest people at any time, but seeing Gelbo’s calm expression, Fang Yi’s heart is also the same. Yi'an: This old man is so calm all the way, presumably he has something to rely on.

"Actually, I found Xia Ou first." Fang Yi smiled, took out an envelope from his backpack and handed it to Gelbo, "Actually, I have a doubt. You said that Xia Ou went to Ximen to find reinforcements, but Xia Ou Ou's news obviously didn't go out, why did Ms. Shar let me come to Star Twilight City to find you? Don't tell me it's just a coincidence." (To be continued.)
