Lord of War

v4 Chapter 92 - .The Underground Tomb

  This team of bounty hunters, after all, still has a gap.

  Shaun didn’t feel much about it. Just as the Black King said, Shaun’s strength would not encounter any danger in the entire Kingdom of Lane. What he is more interested in now is what exactly is in the underground tomb that has attracted so many people to explore it. Of course, what I hope more is that I can find clues about Elizabeth and the Marquis of Flores, so that at least it won’t be a waste of trip.

   But compared to Sean’s indifferent attitude, Yun’s attitude is more thought-provoking.

  As the nominal captain and leader of this team, she didn’t want to eliminate the opposition and estrangement in the team. Instead, she turned a blind eye to it. As a result, the distrust and antagonism in the team naturally began to produce reactions similar to qualitative changes: Phil and the big man have begun to distance themselves from Sean, and Anna’s attitude towards Sean is not bad, but It also started to maintain a proper distance subconsciously.

  Shaun estimated that if she hadn’t had some exchanges with Anna in terms of swordsmanship, I’m afraid Anna’s attitude would not be much better than Phil and the big man.

  Of course, this kind of communication is mainly based on Anna’s consultation.

   For this girl who is keen on swordsmanship, Sean still has some good feelings.

  Although this kind of affection is a little inexplicable, Xiao En guessed that this should be a side effect of being a “Juggernaut”: For people who use swords, he always has a comforting mentality of elders watching younger ones. But it stopped here. In addition to the regular discussion and consultation of swordsmanship, Anna did not have any other contact with Sean, and Sean didn’t care much about it.

  So this weird bounty team continued to rush towards the location of the underground mausoleum with this peculiar atmosphere.

  This time, there were no accidents in the itinerary for several days. Except that Sean found an excuse to go out to meet with the person in charge of the area midway, and gave a new order-temporarily abandon the confrontation with the Kingdom of Lane, fully assist the Principality of Garrod, and do a good job of defending against the Kingdom of Lane for possible side attacks. : After all, Tonys Fortress is too close to Shaun’s territory. If it is a mountain division army accustomed to hurrying and crossing the mountains, it will be able to march on the Void City in about a week.

  This, we have to beware.

  Other than that, nothing happens.

  The whole team arrived at the entrance of the underground mausoleum that Yun said without any surprises.

  Different from what Shaun imagined, the entrance of the underground mausoleum was not under some ruins, but in a cave formed by a collapse.

  From the location of the cave entrance, it can be clearly seen that the tomb itself is blocking the surrounding terrain. It is built about 300 meters deep under the cave and has a drop of more than 300 meters from the ground. Moreover, the entrance of the tomb is not the main entrance, but a corridor of soul-recovery located on the first floor of the tomb.

  In the Continent of Miracles, the dead have different burial methods according to their status.

  Like a slave, if you die, you will lose it in the suburbs.

Poor people, such as the poor, may have a place to bury it, perhaps a monastery or the like, or a land located on the outskirts of the city. Only those civilians who have beliefs are eligible to enter the monastery or the requiem of the temple to be buried. If they are non-believers, they can only be buried in places such as monasteries.

  Ordinary aristocratic class, can be buried in ancestral land or in temples or monasteries.

  Eligible to build mausoleums are generally high-ranking nobles, such as earls and above with real power, or marquis, dukes, and royal kinsfolk with real power. The scale of the mausoleum is generally not limited. As long as you have the money, you can build it any way you want, but it is usually around four floors by default. Only the royal family will build a five-story underground mausoleum.

  Of course, exceptions are some careerists.

The standard construction method for this kind of underground tombs is the soul-returning corridor composed of a long corridor and a cloister structure. The first floor usually consists of two small, one large and three rooms, and the large one is through the guard hall of the second floor. , The two small ones are symmetrical funeral chambers: mainly for placing some utensils and the like. The second floor is also two small rooms, one large and three rooms. The big one leads to the confessional hall on the next floor. The two small ones are still funeral rooms, except that the funerary objects have changed from utensils to jewelry.

  From the third floor, the structure depends on the overall specifications of the tomb.

   Take the four-story structure of the mausoleum as a proportion, and the third floor will become two large and two small rooms. One of the two large rooms is the resting room leading to the fourth floor, and the other is the clan’s coffin room, which is used to store the tablet and coffin of the family master. The two small burial rooms are also burial rooms, but because every time someone in the family dies and is buried, the two burial rooms will be opened to put new funerary objects, so the general reserves will be larger than the previous two floors.

  The fourth floor will become three large and two small structures. The two small rooms are still funeral rooms, and the three large ones are the final hall that symbolizes the end of life, the other two are the main hall where the coffins and rankings of the family’s past patriarchs are stored, and the other is the family line. The deputy hall where the children can be buried.

  If it is a five-story scale, the layout of the third and fourth floors of the four-story structure is moved down one floor, and then one auxiliary hall is increased to two. The vacant third floor layout will also become two large and two small rooms. The layout of the funeral room remains unchanged. Except for the two large ones, one is the listening room leading to the next floor, the other large room usually contains It is regarded as a sealed place, used to seal the powerful evil spirit and death energy in the tomb, and maintain the rest and stability of the dead souls of the entire underground tomb.

  Bounty hunters or tomb robbers find such a tomb, they will definitely empty the burial room.

  The funeral items accumulated by these tomb families over the past generations are usually worth tens of millions of gold coins. If it is a reputable family or a royal tomb, the value of the funeral items will even increase several times to more than ten times. And the further down the tomb, the higher the value of the funerary objects. This is why once someone discovers such tombs, they will continue to go deeper. The purpose is naturally for those funerary objects, but if you encounter a five-story mausoleum If it does, the third layer is generally avoided.

  The third layer of the five-story mausoleum is also known as the layer of balance and the layer of inheritance.

  The structure of the four rooms are arranged in the direction of southeast and northwest. The small rooms of the burial chamber on the east and west sides are also called symmetrical consecration rooms. The Hall of Listening and the Sealed Land are said to symbolize the dual world of the living and the dead-the living leads to the next level, and the dead leads to the kingdom of the underworld. The existence of worship is to ensure that the seal between the seals will not be broken. It is a balance measure and a kind of respect for the owner of the tomb.

  However, when he entered this cave, Sean had already specifically observed the cloud.

  Only from the calm and indifferent look of the cloud, Sean did not find anything suspicious. On the contrary, Phil and others all showed excitement. This kind of behavior is the normal reaction of a bounty hunter. When a bounty hunter or a demon hunter, which one is not forced to do it for money?

  In this way, it makes Yun’s purpose and actions appear even more suspicious.

   However, just as Sean was going to observe Luo’s expression, the assassin had escaped into the darkness earlier, and also distanced himself from Yun and the others, obviously going to investigate the situation first.

   “The situation is normal.” Luo soon sent feedback, “There is no ambush.”

  After confirming the safety, everyone entered directly from the gap in the cave.

  Sean also deliberately observed in this regard, this cave was not formed naturally, and even the collapse was not a natural behavior. The air is full of different energy breaths, but Sean is not a professional magician after all, so he can’t distinguish the specific information of these energy breaths. The only thing that can make him confirm is that the components of these different energy are extremely complex, sometimes There are even some cases where there is a neutralization reaction with each other, which increases the difficulty of energy discrimination.

   However, for Sean, who has never pursued the process much, he is convinced at this moment that the reappearance of this underground mausoleum is by no means a simple accidental exposure.

   Thinking of this, Xiao En couldn’t help but look at the cloud walking in front of him.

   Appearing to be aware of it, Yun turned his head and glanced at Xiao En, even showing a calm smile.

  At this moment, Sean suddenly had a feeling of throbbing.

  The obvious abnormal flow of the surrounding air, as well as the blood boiling in the body that suddenly seemed to be ignited, fully demonstrated the change in the atmosphere of the tomb at this moment. The acupuncture sensation from all over the body gave Sean a sense of danger approaching, but Sean was totally unable to judge the source of the danger. The only thing he could feel was the breath of the underground tomb. It was very chaotic, and it was even serious enough to disturb his perception.

  In such a flash of time as Shaun, the team has advanced a long distance.

  Obviously, they have already understood the situation of the first layer, so they are not particularly concerned and vigilant. Even the sloppy aura on them is clearly visible, and they don’t look like professional bounty hunters at all.

  The difference from these people is that Sean’s muscles are already tight, and even the real eyes that have not been opened for a long time are opened again. It was exactly the appearance of preparing for a battle, and the breathing rate was constantly adjusted. In addition to not revealing his true strength, Sean was already at the peak state of his current strength.

“Don’t be nervous.” Yun didn’t know when he suddenly appeared next to Xiao En, “We have explored the first and second floors, and traps and other organs have been cleaned up. As long as Luo Detective does not ambush If so, we can pass with confidence…. The only trouble is on the third floor. We have found a way to enter the third floor first, so Ghost Eye and Thunder Dragon will be so targeted at us.”

  The underground mausoleum, entering each floor is not a simple matter.

  After all, no mausoleum owner wants his tomb to be destroyed and harassed. At the same time, it is to prevent some people who are proficient in undead magic from disturbing the rest of the deceased. Therefore, they will place the lower level institutions in the tomb. If you want to go to the funerary to take away those funerary objects, you must find a way to break through the door leading to the next floor, and these traps will be different according to the preferences of the tomb builder.

  The most common ones are the true door traps and false door traps.

  After all, the space between each floor of the tomb is huge, and a space layer can be built again in the middle part. The most common method of false doors is that they can almost only enter and cannot exit. Once you enter the false door by mistake, you usually have to pay a high price to be able to return again.

  So the value of finding a true door that can correctly lead to the lower level is completely incalculable.

  Cloud’s words are full of logic and order, and no flaws or loopholes can be seen at all.

   But I don’t know why, but my instinct really tells Sean that the words of the woman in front of me are absolutely untrustworthy.

“I am used to walking alone after all. This is just a conditioned reflex action.” Xiao En smiled, and did not relax his vigilance as Yun said. Instead, he became more vigilant towards Yun. “But I think this There is nothing wrong with it… After all, there is always nothing wrong with being careful.”

   “That’s what I said.” Yun nodded, saying nothing, and then passed Sean and continued to walk forward.

  Shaun’s face was as usual, but his eyes were slightly squinted.

  He slowed down the rhythm of breathing, letting the tight muscles gradually relax, but he did not relax completely, his attention and spirit still maintained a high degree of concentration, in case of possible sudden attacks around him.

  And in his retina, Phil and the others basically have a light yellow halo on their bodies, which represents a neutral color, with different shades. Although this neutral attitude is equivalent to not showing any hostility towards Sean, it is not very friendly, at least this is in line with everyone’s current attitude towards Sean. The only things that have changed significantly are Anna and Yun.

  The color of the former is much lighter, showing light yellow mixed with light green, which is obviously a slightly friendly logo.

  As for the clouds, there was a slight reddish in the light yellow, which was obviously hostile towards Sean. And these reddish colors were not there at the beginning, but the colors that emerged after Yun persuaded Xiao En to relax his guard.

  This makes Sean maintain an absolute high degree of vigilance towards the cloud.

  Especially after leaving the first layer and directly entering the second layer, the aura radiating from Yun’s body has obviously become more dangerous than before. Although this level still cannot threaten Sean, his intuition is telling Sean that the situation is clearly developing in a somewhat unfriendly direction.

  This kind of subtle tension stimulated Sean’s adrenal glands to continuously secrete. Even without turning on the adrenal stimulation skills, Sean felt an unprecedented excitement and mental fullness. (To be continued~^~)
