Tucker, who had been underground for a long time, finally set foot on Larmore's surface again.
Larmore's sky seems to be heavily smeared with thick black ink.
From the thick ink-like darkness, the huge outline of the dark red Ash Sun could be vaguely seen.
Beyond that, the entire world is immersed in waves of dark sun, ashes, and undertows.
A faint trace of pollution has begun to permeate Larmore's steam tower ecology.
"In the past, during the gray night period, although it was colder, at least it could save the life of the lantern when it was on the surface."
"The damn Dark Sun Church, now I can't even save the lantern.
" Ke muttered quietly.
Tucker, who originally wanted to go to the surface and put away the lantern, could only throw highly condensed kerosene bombs inside again.
The orange-red firelight became much richer again.
Pushed the darkness four or five meters outward.
At this time, there was still light coming from the tower windows in the tower area, as well as night watchmen with lanterns patrolling the defense line around the tower area, plus pedestrians dotted with lights.
In addition, Larmore seems to have been completely swallowed by darkness.
"I wonder where Lao Kom and the others fled to?"
"Old Kom and the cavemen have stable trading channels, and they can survive even if they go underground."
"Just be afraid, those cavemen will go underground Black hand."
Tucker thought secretly as he walked in the darkness.
The shadow tentacles were as thick as wool, condensed from Tucker's shoulders, and extended forward about one and a half meters to grab the lantern.
The lantern did not sway with Tucker's steps, but was very stable.
And he is also in a "shadow state" combined with normal walking.
This is a method of using "Shadow State" that Tucker has researched that suits him better.
This can not only maintain the burst and use of the physical body, but also maintain the strange flexibility of the shadow state.
Carlos on the side followed Tucker closely.
Carlos was more cautious when walking alone in the dark.
After all, the darkness around the tower area is not safe.
I heard two days ago that someone was assassinated in a sneak attack.
But now, when following Tucker, Carlos was relieved.
The elite demon wolves approaching the third level were all subdued by Tucker.
Even if they encounter assassins infiltrated by the Church of the Dark Sun, they will only be the unlucky ones.
He glanced at the steam tower that was still struggling to spit out steam energy.
Tucker gradually narrowed his eyes.
"Tell me carefully about the current situation of the Underground Demon King's seal."
Carlos, who originally came here for this matter, started talking immediately after sorting out his thoughts.
"Currently, the passage leading to the Demon King's Tomb has been blocked."
"And an independent magic door has been established on the steam tower. You can enter directly from the tower..."
Carlos lowered his voice slightly.
"The place where we warmed ourselves by the fire."
"Currently, the energy level of the doorway we dug has reached a level that can accommodate the entrance of a 17th-level transcendent."
"It will soon reach level 18. In a few days, 19
"It's not a big problem to get in . But the problem is..."
Carlos stopped here and looked at Tucker.
Tucker added slowly and logically.
"After you go in, whether you can come out alive is the question."
"You really guessed it." Carlos raised his eyebrows.
Tucker said slowly while moving forward.
"If Larmore had not been attacked by the Church of the Dark Sun."
"This exploration of the Demon King's Tomb will surely be a slow-moving harvest."
"But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Larmore cannot hold on. "
Lamore may not be able to see the next sunrise,"
Tucker said after the Ashes.
Carlos glanced at the dark sky, which was as thick as ink, and his eyes were slightly empty.
Tucker glanced at Carlos's slightly strange state.
Tucker took a moment to look back.
Obviously Carlos didn't realize that he had entered an empty state of thoughts and cognition.
Tucker continued.
"In addition, the Church of the Dark Sun also secretly covets the Demon King's Tomb."
"The Demon King's Tomb must be a bad debt. Since it is a bad debt, there is no need to worry about it."
"As long as one person becomes unscrupulous inside, fragile trust , it will collapse in an instant. At that time, everyone will become unscrupulous."
At this point, Tucker smiled lightly.
"Perhaps, St. Rand is still a little worried, but several other high-tower city-states... are afraid that all the people who enter Lamor will die."
"After all, everyone is kind on the surface, but secretly there are so many evil things.
"Everything I know is that the lighthouse mine on the northeast side of Larmore was bombed, killing hundreds of people, and even losing a large area of the mining area. This is a big blow to Larmore ." "Little."
"I still don't know who did this."
"Those guys don't care about Larmore's life or death. All they want is to eat Larmore's body!"
"For them, the dead Larmore is the best Larmore!"
Tucker's words made Carlos understand. Tucker obviously understood the trip to the Demon King's Tomb better than he did. It should be more profound and thorough.
He had naively thought that this was a collaborative exploration by everyone.
Until his sister Xiluol told him righteously.
"You can be naive, but others will not accompany you to be naive."
The change in Larmore's off-field form has made this exploration more and more dangerous.
"Well, are you sure you want to participate?" Carlos asked.
"After all, when my sister invited you before, Larmore was not in the predicament he is in now."
This issue is also the core issue that Carlos wants to confirm during this trip.
"Go, why not go."
Tucker said lightly.
"After all, there is the Demon King there. If you don't lift the Demon King's coffin board, it would be a shame to visit the Demon King's tomb."
"The Demon King's coffin board?"
Carlos was stunned.
"You...don't really want to do this?"
Tucker smiled.
"Didn't you tell me before? I'm the gravedigger of the Demon King's tomb!"
"But..."
Carlos wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Tucker.
"Your sister should have given you the information on several other high-tower city-states that may participate this time, as well as the 18th and 19th-level extraordinary geniuses in Saint Rand's extraordinary academy!" Tucker asked.
"Yeah!"
"Give it to me."
Carlos took out the information bag that his sister had given him before.
"Well, the portion is quite large. It seems that those guys are not weak." Tucker said, feeling the thickness of the parchment information bag.
"Saint Rand is the core of our Dark Curtain Province. Within the Principality of Siriones, the Dark Curtain Province is quite large."
"Many bloodline knight families, wizard families, or other noble families, etc., almost All the talented and extraordinary people from the entire Dark Curtain Province have gathered in Saint Rand."
"Even my sister is only qualified to study at Saint Rand's Academy of Extraordinary Studies."
"So many extraordinary geniuses and powerful masters have entered . The killing place."
"You...really want to go?"
Tucker ignored Carlos's kind words.
Instead, he looked at the huge steam tower above with a clear roar that could be heard, and the steam ring that was being eroded step by step.
"Did your sister tell you?"
"What?" Carlos was startled.
Tucker pointed to the steam ring above.
"You mean, the secrets of the machinery, steam, and angels in Larmore's steam ring?"
Tucker smiled: "Your sister really doesn't treat you as an outsider."
Carlos: "???
" Have you tried it?"
"I have."
"What's the result?"
"That secret is a lie." Carlos looked unbelieving.
"My sister has been feeling it for three days, and the steam elves started dancing next to my sister. In the end, my sister still didn't feel anything."
"Maybe... the method is wrong."
"Method? What method?" Carlos couldn't help but move closer.
After Tucker thought seriously for a moment, he slowly said: "In many adventure stories, there are scenes like this."
"For example, a wizard is chased by an assassin, falls off a cliff, and enters a powerful world. In the place where the wizard's treasure was left, he learned powerful witchcraft at the level of forbidden spells. After his strong return, he blasted the assassin's head with a forbidden spell. "
"For another example, a wizard was chased by an assassin and was forced into a desperate situation . , the wizard broke through and was promoted to extraordinary master. After coming out, he used witchcraft to separate the assassin's body.
"I understand, the assassin must die, right?" Carlos rolled his eyes.
"No!" Tucker shook his head.
"Only when you are on the verge of death can you have a chance to seize the lost treasure."
"The conditions are too harsh!" Carlos still looked unconvinced.
"If I wasn't harsh, wouldn't the treasure have been taken away long ago?"
"Well... there is some truth to it."
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the entrance of the steam tower.
At this time, the entrance to the steam tower gate was heavily guarded.
The burly knight held a powerful steam gun.
Tucker's bullet tentacles are a simulation of this steam firearm.
But the power is obviously not as good as these steam firearms of the same level.
It is said that a third-level steam firearm, when fully charged, can blast through thick walls with one shot.
After the identity check was completed, Tucker and Carlos walked through the magic door and came directly to the floor where the steam ring was located.
When you walk out of the magic door, you see the situation in the hall on this floor.
Tucker's pupils shrank slightly.
