Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If it were a secret passage for escape, it would indeed be arranged in such an inconspicuous place.  However, Richard did not go to the wooden houses, but came to the empty stables.  There were no horses in the stable for a long time, and there was a layer of hay on the ground. Richard murmured: "Under the pillar on the left side of the third stall" while walking to one of the stalls.  He swept away the messy hay on the ground and groped for a while under a pillar. A look of surprise appeared on his face: "Lord Raymond, I found it." Then, I saw him pulling up a hay from an inconspicuous corner under the pillar.  As soon as the thin iron chain was lifted up, a wooden board on the stable floor flipped up, revealing the downward stairs.  I have to say that this arrangement is very clever. Even if someone guessed that the secret passage was nearby, they would only search those wooden houses. Who would have thought that the real entrance would be here.  It is conceivable that if horses were kept here before, the secret passage would have been perfectly covered.  It took a lot of time to find this place, so Raymond was ready to go down.  Suddenly, Hillness pulled him: "Lord Raymond, is this guy really reliable?" While speaking in a low voice, he quietly pointed at Richard.  Raymond understood what he meant. Richard suddenly appeared and claimed to be Headington's spy, and then brought everyone here. No matter how you look at it, it is too coincidental.  If this is the conspiracy of the Necromancer, then there may be great danger below. It is best to proceed with caution until it is fully understood.  However, Raymond did not intend to give up the opportunity in front of him if he allowed Luo Lan to escape because of his conservativeness.  Then it is very likely that the treasure in the vault will never be recovered, let alone the whereabouts of Denek.  Because Raymond had a hunch that the Necromancer simply gave up on Sonali this time, indicating that the other party was likely to turn to covert activities, and it would be extremely difficult to deal with them again in the future.  And Raymond wanted to eradicate those guys no matter what.  Therefore, even if it takes a huge risk, Raymond thinks it is worth it.  After thinking for a while, he said to Sirness: "Your bow and arrows are difficult to exert their power in the tunnel, so stay here with Richard. If there is any change, send a warning immediately." "Understood." Sirness nodded helplessly.  head. ???????????????? Later.  Raymond took Bastet and Lorna and walked down the tunnel.  He believed that with these two people by his side, he would be able to deal with any danger.  ***************************************************  **************** Not long after, the three of them entered the secret passage.  Same as Richard said.  The secret passage is very spacious.  Even the tallest Raymond can walk with his head held high.  Although it has been closed for a long time, it is not stuffy and there are obviously good ventilation measures.  Bastet took down a torch from the wall.  After it was lit, the vision brightened immediately. A long passage stretched forward. The ground was very clean. From the swing of the flame, it could be seen that the air was blowing from that side.  Handing the torch to Raymond, Bast drew her scimitar and opened the way first. Catman's night vision ability allowed her to clearly see the situation ahead.  Raymond walked behind her holding a torch, while Lorna followed a little behind.  When they got here, the three of them became cautious.  They filed forward slowly along the tunnel. The entire tunnel was silent, only the sound of their gentle footsteps echoed.  Since then, the journey has been uneventful. Since Vizsla's home is located in the city, this secret passage is very long.  The three of them walked for a long time, and finally their eyes widened and they came to a wide space.  This is a wide area with a square shape of more than a hundred meters. The wall behind the three people is the exit of the secret passage of Vizsla's house.  On the walls on the other two sides, there are several similar square exits, which should be the secret passages for other nobles in the city, as well as the secret passages leading to the Central Parliament.  Opposite the three people, on the wall on the other side of the space, there is a semi-elliptical entrance that is much larger than the other exits. There is an iron door at that entrance, but it has been destroyed. The heavy iron door hit the ground, revealing  There was a dark corridor behind it.  According to Richard, these secret passages were built together when the city was first built, and only a few high-ranking nobles had entrances and exits in their homes.  It now seems that those nobles must have had some kind of common agreement. In order to keep this secret, all the secret passages finally intersected here to prevent anyone from sabotaging it for the sake of hatred.  And the passage on the opposite side should be the exit leading to the outside of the city.  "Meow, young master, look quickly." At this time, Bast suddenly pointed to a corner of this space and said.  This space is very wide, and the only lighting on the scene is the torch in Raymond's hand, so it is difficult to see clearly what is going on around him.  After being reminded by the sharp-eyed Bastet, Raymond and Lorna noticed that there seemed to be a lot of things piled up in the diagonally opposite corner.    "What is that?" Lorna asked strangely.  "Dead people, a lot of dead people," Bast replied, her blue and yellow cat eyes glowing in the darkness.  The three of them walked over, and sure enough, there were dozens of corpses piled up in that corner. They were both men and women, all dressed in gorgeous clothes. It was obvious at a glance that they were people of noble status.  Next to them, there were many corpses of men wearing mercenary uniforms, and the scene was too horrific to look at.  "Who are they and how could they die here?" Lorna asked in surprise.  Raymond pointed to the other exits on the wall: "They should be the owners of those secret passages." Richard once said that the secret passages under Sonali City have been controlled by the Necromancer. At first, Vizsla's tribe had  They tried to escape through a secret passage, but they were all killed.  Then these people in front of me should be other nobles who tried to escape through the secret passage after the city was broken.  "But, since the Necromancer has given up on Sonali City, why do he still want to kill them?" Lorna asked puzzledly.  Raymond said: "Probably because they were afraid that after these people escaped, they would expose the existence of the secret passage, so they wanted to kill them and silence them." At this time, Bastet was squatting down to inspect the body.  After a moment, she raised her head: "Young Master, these people died not long ago, some were a few days ago. The most recent ones were not long ago, and the blood of these people has not completely coagulated." Raymond nodded: "That's it.  Said, Luo Lan should not have escaped from the secret passage, otherwise there is no need for the other party to continue killing. It seems that we have caught up. " "If so, then here" At this point, Raymond and Lorna were lustful at the same time.  Change.  Sure enough, there was a rustling sound, dozens of mounds of soil rose up on the ground near the three people, and a group of zombies emerged from the ground.  At the same time, in the passage leading outside the city.  Dozens of giant skeleton soldiers wearing armor filed out.  The three of them were immediately surrounded.  "Damn it. I was so careless." Raymond couldn't help cursing himself for being careless. When he just saw those corpses, he should have thought that there must be an ambush of the undead here.  Lorna and Bastet on the side had already raised their weapons, back to back.  Watching the undead around him vigilantly.  But there was one thing that made Raymond feel strange.  In the pile of dead bodies just now.  Many of them were elite mercenaries. If the undead ambush was just this small, how could they kill so many people.     but.  The question was soon revealed.  "Oh my, I thought the people who would come here were just useless nobles, but I didn't expect that I would catch a big fish." Following a sinister voice, a necromancer walked out of the dark passage,  And accompanying him was an undead knight without a horse.  "Hello, Mr. Raymond." ****************************************  **************************** Although it is a necromancer that I have never seen before, as the mortal enemy of the necromancer guild, Raymond  It's probably already known among them.  Seeing that Raymond would come to the door of his own accord, the necromancer's eyes were filled with fire, and his face was full of surprise.  Now all he is thinking about is probably that if he can kill Raymond, he will definitely get Deneke to look at him differently. This opportunity cannot be missed under any circumstances.  On this side, Raymond¡¯s thoughts also changed rapidly.  It seemed that his guess was indeed correct. Before Luolan left Sonali City, the necromancer was here to meet him.  It seems that a battle is still unavoidable today.  Those zombies and skeleton soldiers are easy to deal with. There is only one really difficult enemy, and that is the undead knight.  Although the undead knight abandoned his horse in order to fight in the tunnel, there is still no doubt about his powerful combat power.  Raymond doesn¡¯t want to fight to the death with the opponent, so he still has to use the old method.  "Lorna, you and I will entangle the Necromancer. Bastet, take the opportunity to kill the Necromancer." Raymond whispered to the two of them.  "Meow, I understand." Bastet and Lorna nodded at the same time.  At this time, the surrounding zombies slowly approached the three of them.  Raymond took a deep breath, thrust the torch to the side, and then shouted: "Come on!" He rushed forward with his sword.  Raymond stepped forward and swept forward with the heavy sword in his hand, cutting two zombies in half, and then kicked one zombie away.  After it rolled to the ground, it knocked over several of its companions, and the pressure around the three of them immediately relaxed.  At the same time as Raymond took action, Lorna and Bastet also moved.  The scimitar in Catwoman's hand danced into two balls of silver light around her, shattering the bones of any approaching zombies.  With her flexible body, she is like a white ghost, blowing a whirlwind of death among the zombies.  "Compared to Bastet's gorgeousness, Lorna's attack is more like a precision-operated machine.  In the zombie bagIn the midst of the attack, she was thin and slender, wielding the heavy sword left by Goodwin, killing again and again with extremely clever movements. Her sword movements were elegant, smooth and natural, and the heavy sword was in her hand.  It seemed as if no effort was needed at all.  Although she was unable to exert the true power of this magic sword because she could not use fighting spirit, Lorna already had the posture of a first-rate swordsman just by relying on the sword skills she had obtained from Kress's true heritage and trained on the battlefield.  Watching the three people walking among the zombies, the Necromancer always had a sneer on his face.  He had seen this situation many times. The nobles who fled had their bodyguards all very powerful mercenaries. At the beginning, they were just like Raymond and his party, killing in all directions, as if they could easily kill the undead that blocked their way.  Kill them all.  But in the end, without exception, those guys turned into corpses in the corner, because they had an absolutely invincible trump card.  Thinking of this, the Necromancer snorted: "Go ahead. Kill them." The Necromancer Knight beside him nodded slightly, holding a huge long knife, and together with the armored skeleton soldiers, charged at Raymond and the others.  Forced to go.  Although the space in this area is wide, it is still a bit too narrow as a battlefield.  When a large number of skeleton soldiers poured in, the three of Raymond immediately felt tremendous pressure.  These specially modified giant skeleton soldiers are much more difficult to deal with than zombies.  They all held heavy weapons and wielded them with great force. In addition, they were wearing armor and were not afraid of ordinary attacks. Several of them surrounded them together.  No matter how good your swordsmanship is, you will still be unable to withstand him.  Here, Raymond just killed two zombies.  Suddenly a strong wind came from the side.  He turned his feet, and the sword in his hand was tilted to his side. There was a loud clang, and Raymond felt a heavy force coming from the sword body.  I was caught off guard and almost let go.  My heart feels bad.  Only then did he see clearly that the attacker was a skeleton soldier holding a battle axe.  A single blow failed.  The skeleton soldier raised his ax again and was about to chop it down.  "Leimeng is also a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles. How can he let the opponent take advantage of the victory to pursue him at this time?"  He took advantage of the situation and twisted his body to remove the force of the blow just now.  At the same time, he took advantage of the opportunity for the opponent to raise his hand and swung his sword, slashing the skull's head with the second blow first.  However, before hitting the opponent, another skeleton soldier next to him also swung his axe.  The most troublesome thing is that these guys are not afraid of accidentally injuring their companions in order to attack the target. This ax directly chopped the left hand of the previous skeleton soldier into pieces, and then came towards Raymond's chest.  Lei Meng had no choice but to quickly block with his sword. In the end, he was hit by the opponent's heavy ax and staggered back.  The previous skeleton didn¡¯t care about the lost left hand and rushed towards Raymond with the ax in one hand.  At the critical moment, Lorna rushed out from the diagonal stab, inserted her sword into the spine of the skeleton soldier from behind, turned her wrist and cut off its head, then drew her sword and slashed forward, killing the follower.  The skeleton soldiers that came were chopped to pieces.  At this time, the entire area was in chaos. Thanks to the skeleton soldiers being too tall, they crowded together and pushed the others outside, so that Raymond and the others did not have to deal with many of them at once.  However, the opponent's attack was fierce, and the remaining dozen zombies also squeezed in and attacked, gradually suppressing the three of them.  Bastet, who is known for her flexibility, has less and less room for movement.  Although the current situation is not good, all three of them have fought hard in countless battles, and they have encountered many situations worse than this.  Therefore, although they were temporarily at a disadvantage, they all calmly faced the attacks coming from all directions and looked for opportunities to counterattack.  Finally, as heavy footsteps approached, there was a sudden commotion among the crowded group of skeletons.  Immediately afterwards, there was a flash of sword light, and the three skeleton soldiers facing Raymond seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and they were all shattered into pieces in an instant.  Then, among the bones flying in the sky, the tall undead knight stepped out and swung the huge long knife towards the three of them.  Without saying a word, Lorna stepped forward first. The sword in her hand was slanted on her shoulder, and the tip of the sword was leaning on the ground. She used the power of the ground to push it up, and she just withstood the thunder blow.  There was a loud noise, and the long sword hit the sword body hard. The huge force made Lorna groan, and her thin body knelt directly on the ground, but the sword in her hand was as steady as a rock, and she did not take a step back.  Taking advantage of the undead knight's opportunity to push back the skeleton soldiers and being blocked by Lorna, Raymond, who had been waiting for a long time, held the sword in both hands, turned the sword flat upward, and shouted: "Baster, prepare!" Catwoman's light voice  He jumped around and jumped onto Raymond's sword. At the same time, Raymond swung the sword upward fiercely!  Bast turned into a white light shadow, used the power of swinging her sword to pass over the heads of the undead knights and skeleton soldiers, then kicked on the high ceiling of the basement, using the force to change direction, and moved towards the dead people behind like lightning.  The spirit mage pounced. ??Unexpectedly, the opponent had such a move. The unprepared Necromancer looked horrified and had no time to react.  ***************************************************  **************** Flying in front of the Necromancer, Bast slashed with her sword.  Seeing the silver light rushing towards the opponent's neck, Catwoman's eyes showed a clear look. She had killed countless necromancers through surprise attacks. Bastet believed that it would be the same this time. She only needed to cut off his head and fight.  It's over.  However, just when the blade was about to hit the target, the Necromancer suddenly revealed a ferocious smile, and at the same time, a translucent light curtain suddenly appeared in front of him.  Boom!  Just listen to one sound.  Bastet's scimitar hit the light curtain, causing ripples in the air. Catwoman's attack failed and she was forced to bounce away.  "Idiot, do you think I will be killed by such a simple trick?" As the Necromancer spoke, a magic array quickly lit up at the entrance of the passage where he was standing, shrouding him in it.  It is a defensive barrier. It seems that in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the Necromancer has set up a self-protective barrier at the entrance of the passage.  No wonder he is so confident.  After being bounced.  Bastet rolled around on the ground and got up.  However, she had no chance to attack again. Skeleton soldiers had surrounded her, and several axes were attacking her at the same time.  "Meow. Don't" Bast held the knife and spread it on both sides.  In the group of skeletons, he suddenly said: "Block me!" Bang bang bang click, click, click! ? followed by a series of chaotic sounds.  I saw a white shadow moving flexibly between the gaps of the giant axe, and at the same time, the silver light stirred around like a whirlwind.  The skeleton soldiers¡¯ attacks all failed, and the huge ax hit the ground.  Makes a dull sound.  At the same time, where the silver light passed, all their knee joints were cut off by the scimitar, and their huge bodies fell to the ground one after another.  After finishing dealing with the skeleton soldiers around, Bast was about to continue attacking the Necromancer.  But there were several loud clashing sounds of weapons coming from behind, followed by Lorna's painful cry.  Bastet turned her head and saw Lorna squatting half-crouched against the corner, holding a sword in one hand and hanging by her side with the other hand, dripping with blood.  She kept gasping for air and was extremely embarrassed.  And the tall undead knight was slowly walking towards her, dragging his long knife backwards.  The blade of the blade rubbed against the bricks on the ground, emitting a long series of bright sparks.  Although great progress has been made, Lorna's swordsmanship is still not enough to compete with enemies of the level of the Undead Knight.  On the other side, Raymond was struggling with a group of zombies. When he saw this, he didn't care to continue fighting. He grabbed a zombie and pushed it towards the undead knight.  The undead knight slashed the zombie into two pieces without hesitation, then stepped over its body and continued to approach Lorna.  The space in the basement was limited, and Lorna couldn't even turn around and escape.  Seeing that he couldn¡¯t stop it, Raymond rolled his eyes and simply ran towards the Necromancer Knight. At the same time, he did not forget to swing his sword to attack several skeleton soldiers around him.  So, when Raymond inserted himself between Lorna and the Necromancer Knight, a group of menacing zombies and skeleton soldiers followed, completely blocking the space between both sides.  After blocking the attacks of several skeleton soldiers, Raymond saw the opportunity to escape from the battle group, pulled Lorna and moved to the side: "Quickly go!" The Necromancer Knight wanted to catch up, but his companion's intelligence was too low.  They didn't know how to get out of the way at all. Both the skeleton soldiers and the zombies wanted to attack Raymond, but instead they were completely crowded together because of the chaos.  The Death Knight tried to push away the guy in front of him several times, but he was pushed back every time. Instead, he was scratched on the breastplate by a skeleton soldier's axe.  ¡°Then I saw the ghost fire in the eyes of the undead knight jump a few times, and followed it to rush into the companions with the sword.  In an instant, a whirlwind of steel blew among the zombies and skeletons.  The long knife in the hand of the undead knight flew by, and there was a sound of bones and flesh cracking. The wind blew the torch half out, and the light and shadow suddenly swayed in the basement, making it chaotic.  The violent wind suddenly rose and died down. After a while, when the flickering light and shadow returned to calm, a tall undead knight was seen standing among the corpses and broken bones. His long knife was hanging on the ground, and the blade was slowly dripping with sticky substance.  The concentrated fluid has already killed all the surrounding accomplices.  Here, Raymond pulled Lorna and ran a few steps, but there was no longer any cover between the two parties.  In desperation, he had no choice but to protect Lorna behind him, raised the sword in his hand, and at the same time, the Death Knight took a big step, and with the movement of his body, he swung the long sword in a semicircle and slashed at Raymond.  Feeling the heavy wind brought by the blade, Raymond did not dare to be careless and gathered all his strength to fight up.     when!  There was a loud noise, and Raymond's hands shook violently, and the sword in his hand almost came out.With his hand out, he staggered back involuntarily, and he and Lorna were forced to the wall again.  It is worthy of being the undead creature second only to the bone dragon. Even if it dismounts and fights on foot, the power of the undead knight is still unstoppable. No wonder all the elite mercenaries escorting the nobles hate it.  "Very good, chop off their heads." The necromancer watching the battle from behind showed excitement in his eyes. If he could kill Raymond here, he would definitely be looked upon differently by Denek.  He also realized that the zombies and skeleton soldiers would get in the way, so he asked the remaining undead soldiers to step aside and immediately cleared an open space around the undead knight.  With no more obstacles, the Necromancer Knight slowly approached Raymond.  The shadow of death fell over his head, but Raymond's eyes remained as calm as ever, but he could not find a way to retreat from the enemy for a while.  At this time, Lorna took a step forward and stood side by side with Raymond.  The girl was holding Goodwin's big sword, her eyes full of perseverance, staring at the approaching enemy without any fear.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
