Chapter 228 Four Old Lords

The elevator descended slowly, the depth exceeded Lu Ping's imagination, and it stopped at least five or sixty meters after descending, and the necromancer went out without looking back.

Lu Ping wanted to keep walking behind him, but in the end he restrained the urge. Following him might help avoid other guards, but there was a high chance of being spotted by him. It was better to stabilize first and see the surroundings clearly. Let's talk about the situation.

Because I used a magic eye with a master-level effect before, all the nearby NPCs and items are displayed on the small map. There are far fewer guards and NPCs on this floor than on the previous floor, and there are many blue dots representing items.But today is not the time to take advantage of the fire and rob. If you take something, you may alarm the guards. If you can't take it, you don't take it.

Lu Ping already knew the map of this floor, but he didn't know where the entrance to the third floor was. Olma didn't tell him.

Walking out of the elevator, Lu Ping suddenly had a warning sign in his heart. He looked up and saw an eyeball the size of a sea bowl above the door, turning towards him non-stop.

There is no doubt that this is some kind of magical device to detect invisibility!

Lu Ping froze there, not daring to take a breath, but there was no movement for two or three seconds. The characters displayed on the mini-map were all green dots, which were not hostile, which meant that no one had spotted him yet, anti-detection The cloak worked.

Taking a long and slow breath, Lu Ping continued to walk forward. There were two guards at the entrance to the hall, but they were dark knights.

Relatively speaking, the dark knight wears heavy armor, and his perception is not so strong. Due to the influence of the helmet, the angle of sight will be smaller, and he is not as threatening as a vampire.Lu Ping walked over slowly, trying to slip past them, but when he glanced at him, he saw a necromancer on the opposite "second floor" staring blankly at this side...cross-like vigilance, and that Necromancers are not shown on the radar minimap!

With an anti-detection cloak on his body, Lu Ping was not too worried about the necromancer in the distance, and quietly slipped past the dark knight.After passing this level, there is a lot of room to walk around, relatively speaking, there are not many guards, Lu Ping felt a lot more relaxed, and sneaked towards the storage room.Get the painting that Olmar wants first, and if the situation is not good, you can use the time and space gate to escape, so you won't be empty-handed.

Go to a corner where no one is around, take out half of the time and space beacon to see, it is very good, it can be used, that is to say, after reaching the destination, you can directly fly to the first floor, if you are lucky and rescue the four old lords, you can escape directly. out of hell.

It didn't take much effort to sneak out of the storage room, but it was different from Lu Ping's imagination. In front of him were two rows of six rooms that looked the same. Olmar didn't say that there were six rooms before, let alone Said in which one, just pointed to this area.

Fortunately, there are no guards at the door of the six rooms, only a team of patrolling sentries will pass by here.Lu Ping observed for a while, making sure that there were no other secret sentries, and when the patrol was far away, he quickly dodged into the first room.

There are rows of shelves inside, filled with large and small medicine bottles, soaking all kinds of things, such as spiders and dead mice.

Lu Ping immediately withdrew and pushed open the door of the second room. Inside were all kinds of bones in various shapes and shapes. They must not be here... After searching all six rooms, there was no portrait of Archibald at all.

It is true that this is a storage room, but there are no portraits. Could it be that the information given by the police is wrong?Lu Ping continued to walk forward, he was puzzled and distracted, and suddenly heard footsteps in front of him, looking forward, it turned out that it was a guard walking over.This is a long passage with a width of only two meters. Standing here may be noticed by the guards, so we can only retreat first.

Looking back, Lu Ping couldn't help groaning secretly, just as a group of patrol soldiers came over, he was blocked in the middle of the passage!
Forward or backward?In desperation, he saw that there was a door in front of him on the small map, so he hastened to move forward. This was the fastest speed for him to remain invisible!Sure enough, there was a very inconspicuous small wooden door on the left side of the front, and it was unknown if there was anyone inside. Lu Ping had no time to think about it, so he pushed it lightly, slipped in, and immediately closed it again.

There were no windows in the room, and it was very dark. You could vaguely see a lot of things piled up in disorder.It’s fine if no one is there, Lu Ping relaxes for a while, leans against the door and hears the people outside passing by, finds out a Scroll of Bright Fire and tore it open, his eyes light up immediately.

The room was quite large, but it was crowded with too many things. Tables and chairs, cupboards, barrels, boxes, rolled carpets, etc., were piled up in a random pile, like a garbage heap.

Could it be that the storage room Olma mentioned was here?Lu Ping began to search, and soon found that there were several richly decorated oil paintings stacked together, all of which were portraits of people, and one of them was a photo of Archimard and another person!The Archibald in the painting is exactly the same as the person Lu Ping saw on the island, even the clothes and the staff in his hand are the same, so there must be no mistake; It is a bit similar to Archibald, needless to say, it is King Roland!

Lu Ping was overjoyed, finally got it, and immediately put it in the package.Olma didn't lie to him. This portrait was indeed thrown here as garbage, and no one would know if it was taken away. If it wasn't for another purpose, they could retreat now.

Where will the entrance to the third floor be?Lu Ping was already paying attention when he came here just now, and he didn't see the downward passage, so it should be in an area he hasn't been to yet.This is the end of the map information provided by Olma. He has to explore other areas entirely by himself, and he doesn’t have much time. If the people above find that he is missing, the whole city will be put on alert immediately. He is notorious now. Thief!
Despite experiencing many storms, Lu Ping was still so nervous that his palms were sweating. In the past, there was no time limit for stealing things. You can take your time, but today, every second counts. Maybe Casto will find out that he is "missing" in the next second. It is more dangerous to use one more second, but he must not be fast, he is easy to make mistakes in his busy schedule, and he may be discovered by the guards if he is not careful.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around him, he took a few deep breaths, collected himself and continued to sneak forward.After searching for about three to five minutes, when he was so anxious that he was furious, he finally saw a downward staircase.

This staircase extends straight down at an angle of [-] degrees, and its width is only about four meters. There are a pair of dark knights standing guard every few meters on both sides, and some of them are mobile guards, walking around erratically.There is also a big eyeball on the top of the head at a certain distance, using magic to detect invisible people... This place is really impossible for a mosquito to fly in!

We have come here, it is absolutely impossible to just give up like this, no matter how dangerous it is, we must continue to move forward.Lu Ping went all out, put all his energy into it, and took every step well.

The 30-meter-long passage seemed to have no end, but he passed it safely in the end!
After passing through the passage, there were almost no guards to be seen inside. Lu Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and walked forward at a slightly faster speed.

At first glance, this floor looks like a natural underground space, and fiery red magma is still flowing in some places. Like the magma in the moat above, the heat is suppressed and cannot be released, and it doesn't feel particularly hot.

In this large space, there are several buildings with very special shapes, which are obviously not used to live in people.A huge building in the center looks like a modern factory building. Several towering chimneys spew out thick smoke. A large number of skeleton soldiers are busy coming in and out. Even though it is far away, you can still hear the roar of machinery and the sound of tinkling. knocking sound.

foundry?

This must be the foundry, using natural magma to obtain heat and molten iron, a unique forging geomantic treasure!
There were so many coolies and craftsmen, and the light was so bright, Lu Ping absolutely couldn't pass through. If the four old lords had been imprisoned, they would definitely not be in the forge, so he walked far away from the forge.The red light is shining here, and the light is much brighter than other places. Fortunately, there are very few guards, they are all busy people, and no one will notice him.

There are buildings on the left and right in front, and in the center of one of them there is a huge column with a diameter of more than ten meters leading to the top... If the upper, middle and lower floors are not misaligned, this huge column is at the location of the Summoning Tower. It may be that Castor is using the Spirit Tower to gather energy, as power or the magic power to create magic items.

These two buildings also looked like manufacturing workshops. Lu Ping continued to sneak forward. Most of the skeleton soldiers and zombies he saw along the way were coolies, and a few supervising necromancers and dark knights. There were almost no guards standing guard.

After walking more than half a circle, Lu Ping found a very inconspicuous building in the corner, like a small warehouse, but there was no one around.Will the four old lords be imprisoned here?

In fact, Lu Ping couldn't be sure that the four old lords were locked up, let alone locked up on this floor. It was entirely his own wishful thinking, and it was because of this wishful thinking that he took the risk to come in.

When I approached the hut, I found that there was only a small iron door and a small window. At this time, the small radar map also showed the structure inside, and there were really four green dots.

Exactly four people, can't it be such a coincidence?
Lu Ping was a little excited, approached the small window and slowly poked his head to look inside... There were many iron chains and iron pillars scattered about in the room, and there were four people with loose long hair and ragged clothes who were passed through the shoulder blades by two iron chains and ironed on the pillars. From the perspective of body shape, there are two men and two women. Of course, there are names on the top of their heads:

The male orc's name is Zoldan, and his profession is Sword Demon.

The man's human name is Roderick, and his occupation is a killer.

The female dwarf's name is Serena, and her occupation is the Dark Bishop.

The female elf's name is Alex, and her profession is Lich.

Lu Ping almost jumped out of his heart. They really are the four old lords of Harmondale who have been famous for a long time but have no certain face!
"You...how are you locked up here?"

As soon as Lu Ping opened his mouth, the invisible state disappeared, and the four of them immediately looked up at him, and the iron chains rattled.

"Who are you?" Roderick asked coldly, the eyes covered by the disheveled long hair were obviously vigilant and hatred.

"I am Lu Buping, the acting lord of Harmondale, and I am here to save you!" Lu Ping whispered, showing his ID and title to prove his identity.

"Is there a new lord in Harmondale?" The four looked at each other in surprise.

Lu Ping was also a little surprised: "Could it be that you wrote to the housekeeper and asked him to choose another acting lord?"

Serena's voice seemed to come from the wine jar: "Idiot, can we still write letters like this?"

Alix has a skull face, a mummy body, and tattered clothes. She looks like a ghost, but her voice is soft and elegant, with a magnetic voice: "Castor must have copied our handwriting." written."

Zordan snorted: "Don't believe him, maybe that bastard sent him to lie to us!"

Lu Ping was anxious: "The housekeeper really asked me to rescue you. I took a lot of risks to get here. Why don't you believe me? I have a scepter to prove my identity!"

Roderick said: "First of all, it is unreasonable for you to appear here. Even I cannot escape the guards and come in; since Castor has controlled Harmondale, of course the scepter is already in his hands, and I will give it to you." What's so strange about lying to us?"

Lu Ping fainted: "I'm here to rescue you, why did I lie to you, what's the benefit of lying to you?"

"Save us out?" Roderick sneered again, "Is it possible for you to save us out?"

Lu Ping was also a little angry: "You wait, I will unlock it right away!"

He walked to the iron door and pointed the silver spider on the ring at the keyhole. The silver spider's claws automatically stretched in, and the unlocking progress bar appeared.

After waiting for a full minute, the system prompts that unlocking failed. Lu Ping tried again, but it still failed, and the third time it still failed...

Roderick said inside: "Don't try, it's impossible to open with your ability."

Lu Ping was in a hurry: "How can I get you out? I tricked Casto to visit the castle above, and then sneaked down to find you. After a long time, he will find out. I don't have much time. Please believe me, okay?" it is good?"

Alex said, "It seems like he really wants to get us out?"

Zoldan and Serena immediately said, "Don't trust him!"

Lu Ping walked back to the window: "Well, you don't want to leave, it's not that I don't save you, but before I leave, please give me a proof that I found you, so that I can explain to the housekeeper. There is a golden puppet in the underground secret room, how can I make it move? Now I have to rely on him to protect the safety of the castle, because the guards in the castle are all undercover agents of various forces, not only from the undead, but also from the Griffon Empire , Elf, and Archibald's, it's so messed up, no one can believe it!"

"Do you know the golden man in the secret room?" The four old lords were a little surprised and looked at each other. Serena asked, "Do you want to believe him?"

Roderick immediately said: "No, no matter what he says, don't believe his nonsense!"

Lu Ping's anger went straight to the top of his head, and he roared in a low voice: "You are idiots, I took such a big risk to save you, but you don't believe me, well, you stay here and die!" After finishing speaking, he immediately Turn around and become invisible.
