Chapter 84 - Chapter 3

"Dilarocha, can you briefly describe the King of Midian again?" As he looked at the various peculiar carvings on the stone, Yerong asked Magic Fencer walking in front of him. He held the torch high in one hand and tightly grasped the life-saving weapon - the sniper rifle in the other. In this dim passage, when he remembered that the place where he was standing was a tomb of a dead person, Yerong couldn't help but feel numb. If he doesn't find something to do, he may not be able to walk.

Magic Fencer Diego, who was walking at the forefront, was using his nose to smell a different scent in the passage, as it could be a clue left by the previous tomb raider; I also keep recalling the relevant knowledge I have learned in the past, such as looking at the existing environment to obtain a rough understanding of this tomb. Although it was his first time doing such a thing, the confidence forged in the desert supported him.

By comparison, Dilarocha's situation may only be slightly better than Yerong's. While carefully following in the footsteps of Diego, he divided his mind on the problem. During the reign of King Midian, the desert could be said to be only slightly better than the desert during war. The high taxes, heavy labor, and severe punishment could not easily describe the harsh environment at that time. King Midian even angered the desert gods, causing punishment to affect the southwestern part of the continent for ten years. However, his domineering behavior continued until his death. After his death, some said that the gods cursed his tomb, while others said that he set up a considerable number of traps to prevent others from disturbing his sleep. However, in summary, it is rare to hear anyone taking anything from here. "How did Gods' Armed Forces get taken out by Goddess?"

"Then we're not very dangerous!"

"Mmm! Be careful of yourself," Dilarocha said in a tone that seemed to be out of place. However, in fact, his mood was that he would rather face the damn hero who stole the Chaos Sword before than walk in the tomb known as the Crazy King.

While Ye Rong shivered, he realized that Mifara beside him was getting closer to him, and even hooked his wrist as he held the torch high. As a result, the height of the torch was lowered significantly.

"The fork in the road..." Diego stopped and began to ponder which direction to take next. He approached the nearby wall and touched the text above. Through such actions and idleness, he recalled the logical connections he had along the way and the clues that his predecessors may have left behind. Before this, he was always able to choose a safe direction for the more than ten channels, but he didn't know if it was correct or not.

"Kaga!"

A slight sound caught everyone's attention. Diego stopped moving and carefully studied what had just happened. The rumbling sound gradually increased, and the ground began to vibrate.

"Look, what's that!"

Everyone followed Mifarar's call and instructions, then shifted their gaze to Diego.

"This is also considered an experience," Diego said with a shy smile. At the next moment, everyone hurriedly rushed towards the only safe passage, as there were huge stones rolling towards the entrance and the other passage.

While running for his life, Yerong really wanted to take some time to ask: Guess which stone will kill us? However, practical considerations prevented him from doing so, and the biggest factor was that just thinking like this would put a lot of effort into him, let alone asking questions.

While running, Diego did not forget to roughly observe the surroundings. Quickly, he found a semi open secret door on the wall of the passage. Based on a simple judgment of the situation, he felt that the rolling stone would never move in that direction. He led everyone into the secret door and closed it.

While everyone was taking a breath, they also felt a little strange. Why is such a finely crafted secret door half open? However, the answer was soon revealed, and Dilarocha was crouching next to a corpse: "This guy is under the command of Goddess." Diego also crouched beside him, confirming that the tattoo Dilarocha saw was the same as the logo commonly used by Goddess and his group.

"Why did he die here?" Yerong also approached and asked.

"Hanged to death," Diego judged simply. But Dilarocha asked herself in confusion, "So why does he still act like a person? Has it been a long time since the people of Gossan broke into this place?"

"Hello, hello! I guess I know why." Mifarar let out an ominous voice again. Everyone gave up inspecting the bodies of Gossan's subordinates and looked at Mifarar together, then followed her gaze. The visible part is that dozens of mummies are slowly approaching them, and the number of shadows that can be seen later does not require much effort to count.

Seeing such a grand welcome lineup, Dilarocha immediately pushed open the original trap without saying a word. At the moment when he was about to rush out, the rolling stone carrying the power of Wutao smashed the open valve.

The loud noise caused the four of them to stagnate for a moment. Diego first replied to the situation, and upon probing, the second rolling stone was coming with a rumbling noise and prestige. "Chased by stones, it's better to compete with mummies, choose the same one!"

"Touch!" The sound of the firegun echoing in the enclosed room doesn't feel very good, but it's very easy to catch everyone's attention. Yerong skillfully took out a specialized bullet from his pocket and filled it into the sniper gun's barrel to replace the empty shell of the bullet. Showing a sunny smile to all those who were watching him, he pointed to a small passage next to the mummy room and said, "How about going in this direction? At least it looks like there are fewer mummies."

"Touch!" The second gunshot repelled a mummy blocking the road, and everyone advanced towards the location pointed out by Yerong.

Led by Diego and behind the palace of Yerong, a group of four threw the mummy a distance behind them, but the threat of these undead creatures remained undiminished. The power of a sniper rifle is enough to blow open any part of a mummy's body, but a mummy without a hand or a head can only increase its sense of terror, not decrease.

"Damn it! I don't want to change like them!" Mifara complained as she ran. Later, Yerong quickly responded, "Don't worry, Sister Miphael, you will definitely not change like them."

Listening to Ye Rong's playful tone that was very out of sync with the current situation, it piqued Mifara's interest and he turned around and asked, "Why?"

"Because we don't have enough bandages to wrap you up like them."

"Wow, no! No! Don't leave me here!"

Upon hearing what Yerong had said before, the first two Magic Fencer almost slipped. After finally regaining balance, I heard a mournful cry coming from behind from Yerong. Turning his head, Mifara was angrily tying Yerong with a rope he had taken out from somewhere. Seeing such a scene, no one could speak. However, the reality does not allow for any time to daydream. Dilarocha realized that the situation was continuing and shouted, "Hey! You! The mummy behind is catching up!"

At the same time, Diego drew his machete and turned around to kill him. The situation is urgent, and time is running out. Two Magic Fencer have fallen into a very bad situation in order to carry out two major troubles.

"Wait! Wait! Miss Mifara, you should have the ability to deal with this pile of mummies!" Yerong, who was lying on the ground, shouted.

The Magic Fencer did not understand the meaning of the words of Yerong, but Mifara seemed to have just been awakened from a dream. Just as Diego was about to rush past Miphiel, the angel who remembered her true identity took a step forward with a bow, and the sound of "hum!" came from her mouth.

At that moment, the images in the atmosphere were like disturbed water, with distorted waveforms extending straight from Mifarar's face to the other end of the invisible channel. The mummy swept away by this wave of sound, or rather atmospheric ripples, was shattered in just one breath. Even Diego, who was still behind Mifarar, was shaken back several steps.

Everyone faces this fact with different expressions. Mifara has a self satisfied appearance; Yerong is taken for granted; Dilarocha stared foolishly at the empty passage; And Diego just flashed a surprised look, then shifted his sharp gaze to the woman who was originally thought to be a burden.

Untying the rope that was half bound on his body, Yerong stood up and said, "Really, it's so easy to handle. Why don't we finish it earlier? We're so tired we've been running around."

"You can't blame me! Who calls me the habit I used to cultivate. As long as one person moves, the second person doesn't stop him, but does the same thing, and others inexplicably follow suit. Who cares what they do? You all run away, and I naturally follow you." Mifara seemed to be talking about something very natural, not caring about the strange looks from others.

The two Magic Fencer who did not understand her background remained silent. Of course, their reasons for not speaking vary.

With the power of the ultimate destructive weapon on earth - Mifara, the dangerous tomb is like a grand road, only missing the sight of a little sunlight shining from the treetops. Diego and Dilarocha did not waste their time asking why. Together, they focused on searching for various favorable clues in this tomb chamber to accelerate their progress. As for other things that may become troublesome, let another big trouble destroy them.

When the stone chamber, which was supposed to be the destination, appeared in front of everyone, Diego turned back to look at the obvious traces of himself walking, secretly praying to the King of Midian for forgiveness. Even though the other party was a tyrannical monarch, he led his own people to destroy his peace after death. He had a relatively broad heart, hoping to be resurrected.

Various artifacts accompanying the pharaoh were piled up in the stone chamber, including jewelry, gold coins, exquisite magical weapons, ancient scrolls that may have hidden powerful spells, and countless treasures that dazzled the eyes. Of course, this pile of treasures has clearly been searched for recently, and there are also several places where items can be placed, but none of them are found. It is believed that they were taken out by the people of Gossan. However, from the amount of things that have not yet been taken away, one can imagine how much wealth King Midian accumulated during his lifetime.

Yerong was kneeling in front of a large box of gold coins, his shining eyes making him forget about himself and the world. Mifara casually looked around and poked the jewelry on the ground with her feet; Pick up one casually and look at it, then throw it aside.

"Hey! Look, everyone," Dilarocha's voice urged others to gather around him, even if some were unwilling.

A wooden frame that can be used to hold Western style armor, with much less dust on it compared to other places. "It seems that this is the place originally used to place God's weapons," Diego roughly judged. Because during his recent inspection, most of his armor and weapons were still in their original positions, accumulating thick dust. Only the wooden frame in front of me is empty and much cleaner.

The two Magic Fencer looked at each other and Dilarocha said, "It seems that God's Love Song should be around here. Maybe it was the people of Gossan who missed it and forgot to take it with them." As they were about to start searching, Mifarar suddenly said, "It's not here."

This surprised and disappointed the two Magic Fencer, as the woman in front of them had a peculiar ability that they couldn't help but believe that she might also have a fairly accurate intuition, and even had a unique way of searching. They remained motionless for a moment, and with further confirmation from Diego, they asked, "Miss Mifarar, how could you know that God's love song is not here?"

"A feeling. The divine weapon made by Uza should be able to emit a special wave. But here, I cannot feel a similar wave."

"How about going to the main tomb to see?" Dilarocha suggested, "If the item is really special, it may be placed near the main tomb, not in the treasure room."

Diego confirmed Mifara's intention with his eyes, and Mifara nodded in agreement. However, Yerong exclaimed in disappointment, "What~Don't you bring something from here?"

Everyone stared at the disappointed young man for a while before Diego took the lead and said without looking back, "Sherk taught us that burial objects should be buried underground, not carried with us, because you may easily take away the curse of the deceased. If it weren't for the foolish behavior of moving God's weapons and wielding a divine sword, I would rather put them back here. Consider it for yourself."

Dilarocha did not respond to Diego's words, but he just nodded at Yerong. The meaning contained in it was incomprehensible to Yerong, as if he was saying, "Give it a try, don't take responsibility for anything.". Mifarar looked down on anything here from the beginning, so she quickly followed in Diego's footsteps. In Yerong's eyes, he could only sigh helplessly and bid farewell to the wealth that could be squandered for ten lifetimes.

Except for facing the mechanism, which is handled by two Magic Fencer, everyone follows behind Mifara at the rest of the time. With luck and strength, the group smoothly arrived near the main tomb chamber.

First search for the target object in the surrounding stone chambers, and then gather in front of the tomb chamber. Everyone peered at the golden coffin figurines inside.

"It's not so coincidental, it's inside! Normally, there's just a golden mask on top of my head," Dilarocha said, seeking Diego's approval with her eyes. But without waiting for others to speak, Mifara said, "It's not there either."

Upon hearing Mifarar's opinion, no one else knew what kind of expression to make. Ye Rong dared up and asked, "Is it possible that it is sealed in something that cannot be sensed?"

"Mmm~" Mifara tilted her head and thought for a moment. Seeing her serious appearance, the three men on site couldn't help but feel their hearts beating faster, their faces turning red, and they gasped for breath. "I'm not sure. Huh? What's wrong with you?"

Strive to recall all of Mifarar's evil deeds to suppress the inexplicable emotions in his heart. Dilarocha, due to his previous experience, helped his people recover first. He asked the most practical and vague question now, "What should we do now?"

Mifara did not pay much attention to the behavior of others who were unaware of their actions. Upon hearing Dilarocha's question, she took some time to think about it again. It seemed like she couldn't get a good answer. She approached Yerong and patted his buttocks, and a gold coin used in ancient times fell out of her belt.

Everyone watched as ancient gold coins rolled on the ground, and as the seam between the slabs stopped, Dilarocha and Diego all turned their gaze to the mechanic. "Hehe, I want to say to keep it as a souvenir..."

Mifara picked up the coin and muttered, "Keep searching on the front and leave on the back." With a flick, the empty gold coin once again became the focus of attention.

When the crisp sound of grounding echoed in everyone's ears, thoughts like 'it's time to leave' floated in their hearts. However, Dilarocha approached Yerong and asked, "Is this a good decision?"

"Do you have a better way?"

There is no answer. Diego shrugged obediently and said, "Forget it, go out first and think of a way."

Just as she was about to turn back, Dilarocha grabbed Diego and pointed in the direction of Mifarar.

I saw a white light swirling up on each of Mifara's feet. The white light slowly circled, intersecting at the waist and continuing to rise towards the raised right hand. When the light was focused on the palm of his right hand, Mifara moved his right hand down to the point where he was raised diagonally in front of him. The spiral shaped light gathers in front of the palm, appearing in circles, forming an arm long beam of light.

With his closed eyes wide open, Mifarar shouted loudly, "Akusiz Basda!" The beam of light shot out like a wild horse, opening a large passage in the stone tomb that could see the blue sky.

"Let's go! It's faster to go straight out. I'm too lazy to walk through the winding ghost passage. At this level, you should be able to crawl out!" As soon as Mifara finished speaking, she left towards the straight passage she had opened.

"That's okay!" Dilarocha turned her head to look at Yerong, who just smiled helplessly.

"In the name of Allah, who is merciful and compassionate, we praise you. We only serve you, we only ask for your assistance, and we ask for your guidance to the right path. Lord, who is merciful and compassionate, who presides over the day of repayment..." Diego silently prayed.

Returning to the ground through the newly opened passage, before taking a breath, four or five people were already wielding weapons and approaching. A whistle sounded, and the other person called out to their companions to come and support.

Ye Rong couldn't figure out the situation for a while, but the two Magic Fencer were not taught from a young age to not fight back, so they each drew their long swords and curved swords to kill each other.

The long sword, emitting flames, drew three circles in the air and received a horizontal strike. The curved knife, emitting a chilling chill, also swung towards the head of an enemy. At the same time, Mifarar had already brought down two enemies and was charging towards the direction of the third person.

With a gunshot, Yerong crouched down and defeated the enemy who had put away his whistle and was withdrawing his weapons.

More enemies came from the entrance of the tomb, and the two Magic Fencer had just defeated their respective enemies. A hymn of spells came from the atmosphere, and behind more than ten enemies, a black wizard was preparing to perform high-level magic.

Mifarar and two Magic Fencer fearlessly stepped forward. Later, Yerong skillfully switched to the specialized bullets of the sniper rifle, aimed and fired them! A little crimson burst between the eyebrows of the black wizard in the aiming mirror, and the magic condensed in the atmosphere dissipated in an instant.

I just switched to the next special round and was about to choose the next target. The remaining enemies were rapidly decreasing under the powerful destructive power of Mifarar. Compared to others, those who face two Magic Fencer are much happier.

Seizing an enemy whose weapon had been knocked away, Diego was stabbing him in the neck with a knife.

"Palaucia! Palaucia!"

The ancient saying circulating in the desert stopped the movements of Magic Fencer, and he only heard the other person continue to plead for mercy: "Magic Fencer, please don't kill me..."

"It's best to remember the words you've begged for mercy," Diego said fiercely, gripping the curved knife in his hand. A deep scar was left on the other person's forehead, and they were allowed to leave freely.

The group gathered to examine the identity of the attacking enemy, only to find that there was still one person who had a breath left. Diego stood in front of the other person indifferently, only to hear them say more out of anger, "Don't think I'll beg for mercy from you... This is a fair war between us..."

Grasping the curved knife in his hand, he took one blow and saved the other person's life. Yerong saw it from behind and exclaimed excitedly, "How did you kill him? He no longer has the ability to fight!"

Squatting down, he closed the eyes of the man who was no longer an enemy. Diego said in a deep voice, "I died in holy war, my flesh returned to earth, and my soul will be recalled by Allah. Holy war... is that okay? Just believe it."

"What happened just now? The person you let go of just now?"

Dilarocha lightly grabbed Yerong's right shoulder, suppressing his excitement, and said, "Carrying the imprint of a coward," Dilarocha flicked her forehead with her fingers. "No matter where you go, you will be despised. It's even more painful than death."

Having calmed down, but still feeling a bit puzzled, Yerong asked, "Why?" But no one answered this question.

"These people are under Gossan's command," said Diego, returning to his normal state and tone. At the same time, Dilarocha found black water and various traps all over the entrance of the tomb. He judged, "It seems they plan to ambush us when we come out."

"Wait a minute! Can anyone answer my question?" Yerong still didn't give up, holding onto Diego and saying.

"Sherlock once said, 'The Law of the Desert teaches us that you can hate your enemies, but you must give them a chance to choose.' Diego briefly answered Yeron's question and turned to Dilarocha, asking, 'What's next?'"

After thinking for a while, Ye Rong gave up thinking about things he couldn't understand and turned his head with two Magic Fencer to look at Mifara, who was standing high in the distance, waiting for his proposal.

"Do you know the Angel Tower?"

"Angel Tower?" Dilarocha felt unfamiliar with the term proposed by Mifarar.

"Hmm! Angel Tower." Mifarar continued to gaze into the yellow sand sea, saying, "If my memories from a long time ago are correct... it was located near the desert, with a fourteen story tall tower in appearance, slightly tilted at an angle."

"Oh! Are you talking about the Devil's Tower?" Diego remembered the location of the tower described by Mifarar, and Dilarocha also remembered it. He continued, "I remember it was in the southeast of the desert, quite close to the dry grasslands to the east. If we return to Dalain and transfer to a fast horse, take a slight detour, and pass through the gravel desert to the south, we will reach the Devil's Tower faster than crossing the desert directly with a camel. Because the snow water flowing from the Mujero Mountains creates many oases and dry grasslands along the way, it is very suitable for riding horses to pass through."

Upon hearing the detailed answer, Mifarar felt a little disappointed and sat down on the large column, saying, "Why did you call the place where the Angel Army was stationed the Demon Tower in your mouth?"

"Is the Angel Army stationed?" Dilarocha was quite puzzled by the sentence, but he still said, "I don't know. But since records began, that place has always been called the Demon Tower. Because there are often some bad strange things happening around it, not many people are willing to approach. Can we find God's Love Song when we get there?"

"I don't know, if the machines over there are still usable..."

"Oh~! Machine! What machine!" Yerong's mood now is probably the only difference among the four people.
