Chapter 408 The Wine Cellar
"To be honest, Miss Avrolla, I thought you would be The kind of person who wants to kill me."

Shade extend the hand, Demonness hesitated before holding it, and sighed in a low voice:

"Why should I kill you? What good is it? However, this is the first time I've shaken hands with a man since I was an adult."

Demoness's hands were soft, and Shade asked:

"My How does your hand feel?"

"Your hand is rough, although it is recovering, you can feel that you have probably done heavy work before."

She withdrew her hand, and then He waved to Shade's head. Black's little spider jumped from Shade's hair into her palm, and then climbed onto her face, turning into an imperceptible beauty mole under the corner of her eye.

"So this spider is yours? Did you really smell the ocean on me just now?"

"Of course, but not just because you've been there before. The seaside, and because you smell like murlocs. I thought you had fought murlocs before you came to Laccia Princess."

Demoness said.

"The smell of a merman? I haven't met a murloc, oh, I see."

Shade thought for a while before realizing that it was because he was still carrying [Scales of a drowned merman]. In this way, the previous owner of the scales is really the family of the Evil God [Scarlet Spiral Lord] in the previous era. Cultist

:
"You understand, remember to return the ring to me after the matter is over. In addition, I think as long as you don't provoke it, the strongest sixth ring of the underground cultists, There's no problem escaping alive."

So Shade ended his first meeting with the second Demoness he knew from the Sixth Era.

Because he knew that Darkness was most likely going to Tobeysk, Shade had little interest in helping Demoness find him. After parting with Demoness at the door of the room, Shade found Lazia again. Princess was very worried about Shade, but did not ask Shivi Avrolla's identity.

"I'm going to the underground wine cellar. Laccia, remember to bring the fishing rod with you. If you really encounter problems, even if you reveal your Warlock identity, you have to go to Avrora. Miss for help."

"But rather than Demonness, I wish you could be by my side at dawn."

Princess said softly.

"Of course, I came to Lengshuigang to help you, how could I forget this purpose?"

He replied, and Lecia thought about it and gave Shade a hug:
"I don't know what you're going to do, but be careful."

Then she shoved Shade a steam bomb. Shade was surprised and put it away carefully.

There is still one hour before sunrise.

The ring warlock squad of the Church of Nature, waiting on the second floor to strike again before dawn. Although Shade could not know the situation in the wine cellar from their mouths, Miss Avrora told Shade directly that there were three ring warlocks and a dozen murlocs underground.

Shade's original plan was to use the Illusion Technique to get into the wine cellar and steal those texts if there was an opportunity. But in the wine cellar of the Avrolla Manor, there is actually a secret passage connected to the gardener's hut in the garden.

That secret passage was built when the Avrolla family owned it, and even the murlocs didn't know it.

So Shade jumped from the window on the third floor into the rainy garden, braved the rain to find the gardener's cottage with the door locked. After opening the door, I found that it was a utility room, with shelves for metal tools on all four walls, and there was even a steam engine in the corner.

Push open the corner chest and tap the floor a few times to locate the trapdoor. After struggling to open the trap door, the dark hole seemed to lead straight to the abyss.

But with the rays of light on your fingertips, you can see that the bottom is only three meters deep.

Unlike the underground ruins in Tobesque, this dark passage appears to be used only for emergency escape, so it is very narrow. Shade even had to lower his head to pass, and the height of the dark passage was only about 1.7 meters.

On the way down, there is only one fork, one way forward, one way to the storage room where food and water are stored.

So Shade followed the straight road ahead, and soon came to the end of the dark passage.

While illuminating the front in the dark, Shade also thought that if he also had a manor, he must also build a complicated secret passage. After all, the space is so large that it would be a pity not to build a secret passage.

According to Ms. Avrolla, this underpass leads to the inner mezzanine of the walls in the cellar, where new wine for aging is stored.

Therefore, when Shade pushed open the secret door as carefully as possible and climbed out, he could only see rows of wine barrels and no trace of the murlocs.

Carefully using the Illusion Technique, the mist of silver quietly flows forward on the ground. After coming out of the inner mezzanine of the wine cellar, I finally saw three strong men dressed as sailors, guarding the entrance of the wine cellar with guns. The common feature of the three people is that they look ugly.

In addition to them, Shade saw a tall, thin man standing in the shadows. This one is Ring Warlock, he almost fuses with the shadow, Shade wouldn't even notice him if it wasn't for the voice in his ear reminding him.

In order to prevent being discovered by the ring warlock, Shade is very careful to control the mist of the Illusion Technique only in the surrounding area. But the Illusion Technique is not the Invisibility Technique, and even if it can achieve a similar effect, it is easy to be discovered by the sensitive ring warlock.

He could only bend down and lean against the wall, letting the rows of wine cabinets block his face. It took a full ten minutes to make a full circle from the edge of the shelf, away from the door of the wine cellar.

The whole wine cellar was dark, and there seemed to be no one else except the four people at the door. So Shade used the spell [Echo of Blood], and sure enough, during the battle with the Squad of the Orthodox Church, the injured companions of the murlocs left bloodstains on the ground during the transfer.

Although the naked eye cannot be caught, but in the state of [Echo of Blood], the Shade with bloodshot eyes in the right eye can follow the red halos that are like road signs in the dark, all the way. Came to the end of the cellar and found a hole in the wall.

There should have been space behind that wall, but it was temporarily closed by a brick wall before it was sold to the Avrolla family. When it was opened again tonight, the fishmen seemed to smash the wall with a sledgehammer, and the masonry on the ground was not even cleaned up.

The cold, damp and fishy wind came from behind the hole in the wall, and at the same time, faint candlelight and strange blue light could be seen in the dark. Whisper.

"It's windy. Are there other exits behind the wall?"

This is what surprised Shade the most.
