As the heavy stone gate slowly closed under the force of the ancient magic spell, the power of magic wandered along the grooves on the walls and the ground, forming a closed energy cycle, and the nightmare world outside seemed to be isolated completely...
I could not hear the roar of the captain of the guard, nor the screams of the wounded and dying soldiers. Nor the roars of those terrifying monsters. Heavy and thick stone and steel walls sealed all the voices off.
Still, everyone knows this barrier is only temporary, yet in this moment of quietness, Rebecca still couldn't help exhale for a long time for the hell outside. That was a nightmare.
But, in the next second, Rebecca shook her head, putting aside all the weak thoughts that had surfaced in her mind. The heavy rock and steel can't bring any real and long-term security, so it may weaken her will and let her indulge in this temporary illusion of safety.
Thinking of this, the young heir of the Cecil family couldn't help but squeeze the already dull staff in her hand, hoping that this weapon could bring her more courage and security.
The family knight Byron Kirk's voice came from behind: "Viscount Lord, the passage has sealed, and those monsters should not be able to enter for a short time."
Rebecca looked back at the loyal knight. His steel armor covered with scars, and there was a small depression on the breastplate, and I could spot clear scratch marks on his short gray hair. That burned out by Aunt Hetty with a big fireball to save the knight from a monster.
The situation was thrilling. The fireball almost exploded against the mid-level knight's scalp. If not for the blessing of the god of luck, this knight who had been loyal to the family for 20 years would have turned into a corpse.
Of course, Rebecca is not sure if this is because of Aunt Hetty's famous "magic can never hit people" physique at work...
"Thank you, Knight Byron." Rebecca lowered her head. Concealing the tiredness in her eyes, "We can at least catch our breath."
Then she turned her head and looked at the few people around: three soldiers were holding torches to light up the surroundings. And Aunt Hetty, who looking at the wall at the end of the stone hall with a burning fireball in her hand. And the one who followed with the confused look of little maid Betty. who holding the pan that she had taken from the kitchen. She was hiding behind the soldiers, looking at this place with a pair of big flickering eyes.
Counting herself and Knight Byron, these seven people are the last survivors right now. Those who remain on the surface cannot survive those monsters.
After confirming everyone's condition, Rebecca couldn't help but look at the situation in this stone hall.
This is an ancient place. Cobwebs and thick dust can notice everywhere in the rectangular stone hall. Some decaying artifacts had piled at one end of the hall. Although they are old, they can still discern in their former exquisiteness. And richness. On the walls around the stone hall, you can still see preserved murals and reliefs. Although the murals have faded and the reliefs worn, they still do not affect viewing.
Heidi Cecil looked at the murals and reliefs for a long time. Compared with the superficial styles that emerged in modern times originated from the northern countries, all the decorations in this stone hall appear solemn and simple, with a clear "first dynasty" atmosphere. The murals are used to depict heroic images of human ancestors. They engraved reliefs with scenes that are biased towards myths and legends and abstract symbols of gods. As a learned spell caster, Heidi is very good at interpreting useful things from these ancient pictures.
Seeing the content on the murals and reliefs, Heidi couldn't help but put her left hand on her chest and whispered: "May the ancestors forgive me ..."
"Aunt Heidi," Rebecca came to Heidi carrying the staff. Her face was a little nervous. Until this moment, she seemed to realize what kind of place she had stepped into and became a little uneasy. "Here..."
"This is the ancestor of the Cecil family. Sleeping place," Heidi said, "do nothing rude."
Rebecca swallowed and looked around: "It looks like no one has come in for a long time..."
"Since the Marquis of Grumman took the sacred objects from the ancestral tombs and took part in the rebellion that almost led to the destruction of the family a hundred years ago, they have completely sealed this place off. Every one descendant of the Cecil family knows to open the method here, but because of the family order, no one dares to come in unless it is critical to life and death."
Heidi took a deep look at Rebecca. "We are the first people to step into this place in a hundred years. "
"Now it's indeed the life and death..." Rebecca took a deep breath, "the ancestor he will forgive us?"
Heidi smiled. She couldn't answer the question, so she had to follow the mural. She continues to search for the mechanism that opens the deep tomb.
It took little effort for her to find the special stone pillar, and then put her hand on the top of the stone pillar and pressed it down.
The stone door leading to the deep tomb immediately shook, and then the whole stone slab rose amidst the sound of friction.
But as soon as the stone gate rose, Rebecca heard a strange sound coming from behind the stone gate, a sound of objects falling from behind the door, followed by a distinct exclamation...
"Someone inside?!" Heidi also reacted immediately and yelled in a low voice, "Byron!"
Before waiting for more instructions, the knight had already gripped his sword and rushed towards Shimen, and the other three fighters followed suit. Afterward, Rebecca ran up immediately. While moving, she ordered the confused little maid: "Betty! Find a place to hide!"
Rushed into the tomb, Rebecca saw Knight Byron, who had rushed in before, swinging his sword at an agile, petite figure.
That petite figure dashed right and left around the Knight Byron like a gust of wind, and from time to time turned into a cloud of black smoke to escape into the ubiquitous shadow area in the tomb. The power of her shadow manipulation and the agility of her footwork made Rebecca's eyes wide open.
There are usually few stalkers who can entangle Byron Knight for so long. However, as the remaining three soldiers completed the encirclement with Heidi, who kindled flames in her hands blocked the door of the tomb, the agile figure completely lost the space to escape and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Rebecca waited until she checked to see the intruder's appearance. It was a girl who looked about the same size as herself, but shorter than herself. She wore old leather armor and had short hair. She has a beautiful appearance. Although there are a lot of stains on her face, I can still see her face, which is beautiful. The most noticeable thing is the other party's ears. The ears are pointed, but not as long as the elf. This is enough to explain her blood: a mixed-blood elf.
But it is impossible to tell what her other half bloodline is. After all, the power of the elven bloodline is so powerful., the racial characteristics of humans or orcs and elves are similar.
As soon as the half-blood elf girl landed, Knight Byron stepped forward and put the long sword on the opponent's neck. The remaining three soldiers immediately surrounded her, and the three sharp swords blocked all the opponent's escape routes.
"Who are you! How dare you break into the ancestor's tomb of the Cecil family?!" She strode forward with irresistible anger in her tone. For a noble descendant like her, the ancestor's tomb being stolen. That the thief sneaking incident was enough to make her angry. Once this event spread, the precarious reputation of the Cecil family might be all over.
Rebecca also stared at the half-blood elf. Although this unexpected incident made her a little startled, the appearance of an outsider in the ancestor's tomb, which was a forbidden place, made her annoyed enough.
The half-elf girl has forced by the long sword and glared by Heidi and Rebecca, and her voice quivered: "Wait... wait! I have stolen nothing!"
The long sword in Byron's hand pushed down again: "You are so bold!"
As soon as the knight's voice fell, I heard a strange sound coming from the black steel coffin in the center of the tomb, and it immediately introduced the eerie atmosphere. After hearing everyone, including Rebecca, felt cold in their backs.
After a while, Rebecca was the first to react. A fist-sized fireball materialized from the top of her staff and pointed at the half-blooded elf who was half-kneeling on the ground: "What did you do to our ancestors?!"
The half-elf girl is really about to cry this time: "Don't... don't kill me first! It's no longer able to hold down the coffin board of your ancestors!"
Accompanied by the half-elf girl with a mourning voice., The sound in the black steel coffin became louder and louder, and even the lid of the coffin become vibrating.
"Ancestors!" Heidi paled. This lady, who has always recognized for her dignity and elegance in the aristocratic circle, was so perilous for the first time. "Please rest in peace! Those who disturb you will sentenced..."
The half-elf girl cried. She shouted: "What the hell is this bullshit! Hurry and press down on the coffin board of your ancestors!"
The three soldiers looked at each other, and even Byron looked dazed, but Rebecca. After reacting, she sprinted to the platform where the coffin located. The lid of the coffin totally shoved aside, and a hand came out from the gap.
Seeing this, Rebecca drew up the staff and smashed it down: "My ancestors! Rest in peace!!"
That hand blasted back into the coffin on the spot and came from the coffin, a painful cry: "Whoever hit my hand!"
Rebecca stared up in a daze, seeing her family knight, aunt, and three warriors all looking at her in amazement.
Rebecca looked down at the staff in her hand. This time it was her turn to cry: "Aunty, am I a little disrespectful to the ancestors..."
But Heidi yelled, "Rebecca, retreat from the area, "
It surprised Rebecca a moment: " aunt?"
"The dead may be back to life!" Heidi became pale, "perhaps the surface of the monsters ... corrupted ancestral holy body! "
This possibility immediately caused Rebecca to sweat in a cold perspiration, and when she was about to jump off the platform to hide behind the soldiers, the heavy cover of the black steel coffin pushed up again—and this time the people in the coffin used all his strength, the entire coffin lid pushed out!
Then, a man with light brown short hair and a dignified face, dressed in ancient aristocratic costumes, seated up from inside.
The half-blood elf girl who was half-kneeling on the ground turned her head to see this scene and couldn't help but gasped: "Look, your ancestors have completely cheated the body this time."
