Chapter 227 Imperial Mausoleum or Seal? (3)
Although it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision to place Isabel in the Church of Nature's Heart like a nail, it was very important to Ron.
With the existence of a high-level contract document, there is no need to worry about Isabel's betrayal, unless this woman is willing to die. Of course, even with the constraints of the contract document, Isabel is likely to disobey in secret and work without putting in any effort.
After all, there are many things that high-level contract documents cannot take care of, but Ron knows that although Ashburn is powerful, he is very narrow-minded.
Even if I didn't do anything bad to Isabel, the man probably wouldn't believe it. After Isabel returned, I was afraid that she would be treated unfairly, and the relationship between the two would become more and more distant. When Isabel and Ashburn became incompatible, the Saint would naturally pay more and more attention to the things she arranged for him.
This was Ron's original plan.
However, Ron could never have imagined that Ashburn had completely replaced Herman's job as the gold medal assistant and was even better than Herman. He had just obtained the antidote and walked out of the gates of hell, and immediately pushed Isabel completely to his side.
By now, Ron has already left the library with Bai Yuan. Time has been wasted for a long time, and it is almost time to take action.
The first target is still the royal mausoleum of the Twilight Dynasty.
Ron is determined to obtain the forbidden spell buried in the imperial mausoleum.
He had used forbidden spell-level magic scrolls with his own eyes and knew how terrible the power of forbidden spells was in the Dusk Continent. The destructive power was far more exaggerated than in the game.
With the fox girl accompanying her, Bai Yuan could be regarded as one of the top masters in the entire Dusk Continent, but when she was with Ron, she acted like a little bird, holding one of Ron's arms and leaning half of her soft body on him, without any demeanor or airs of a super master.
Although Bai Yuan had never held a coming-of-age ceremony or been alone with the opposite sex before meeting Ron, as a fox girl, she knew very well that no matter whether they were orcs or humans, as long as they were male, they would all be more or less chauvinistic in nature.
Being strong is not necessarily an advantage for a woman, but it may make men stay away from her. However, a strong but gentle and well-behaved woman is definitely the type that men like the most, which can greatly satisfy men's desire to conquer.
No matter how many women Ron had before he met her, Bai Yuan was confident that he could win Ron's affection from those women.
It's not a malicious thought, it's just a little thought of a girl.
Bai Yuan, a legendary eight-star, and Roen, a heroic nine-star, although there seems to be a big gap, their actual combat power is not necessarily inferior. When the two of them join forces, the Dusk Guards in the Dusk Temple are no match for them. In addition, after such a long time, the trialists who entered the Dusk Temple have also cleared a large number of Dusk Guards. Along the way, Roen and Bai Yuan basically did not encounter too many obstacles.
Occasionally, they would encounter other trial participants, but they would immediately flee after seeing Bai Yuan, making Ron's plans of killing people and stealing treasures fail.
In just half a day, the imperial tomb of the Dusk Dynasty appeared in front of the two of them.
"It seems that we are a step late."
The imperial mausoleum is located underground, but the entrance is on the ground. Glancing at the damaged stone door on the ground, Ron sighed and said quietly.
Bai Yuan finally let go of Ron's arm, frowned slightly and walked forward, reaching out to feel the stone door, taking a deep breath with his delicate little nose: "Judging from the remaining smell in the air, it should be the gravedigger Bridges."
Gravedigger, Bridges.
Another expert with pretty good strength.
A legendary strongman.
Some information about Bridges flashed through Ron's mind. This guy can be regarded as an outlier in the game. He has never appeared in the main storyline, but he is a BOSS that must be faced in an important branch story.
This guy is nominally a scholar.
But in fact, in the scholar circle of Dusk Continent, everyone sneered at this guy. What a crappy scholar, this guy is just a tomb robber.
Moreover, unlike ordinary tomb robbers who only dig up burial objects, this bastard not only digs up burial objects, but even the corpses in the tombs will not be spared.
He even trained a group of apprentices who specialized in digging up the tombs of the fathers and even ancestors of nobles and wealthy businessmen. After stealing the burial objects, they would take the bodies away. Then they would send letters, asking for the reclaiming of their ancestors' remains so that they could rest in peace, and they would pay a large ransom.
In the Dusk Continent, Bridges is definitely notorious.
But Bridges was so powerful that ordinary people couldn't do anything to him. And Bridges was very tactful and would never provoke those who he couldn't afford to provoke. Therefore, he had been roaming the Dusk Continent for decades and was still living happily until now, and no one could do anything to him.
In the game, this guy stole the body of a wealthy businessman's father and demanded a ransom. However, the wealthy businessman had a strong character and would rather hire players to kill Bridges than pay the ransom. This is how Bridges ended his sinful life.
In the game, he was killed by the player, but in the Dusk Continent, he fell into his own hands. Could this also be the effect of the convergence of the world line? Ron thought randomly in his heart and asked casually, "Can you feel when this guy appeared?"
The fox girl has a keen sense of smell and can discern a lot of intelligence and information that Ron cannot see from the remaining smells.
"The exact time cannot be determined, but I think it will not exceed half a day." Bai Yuan said after considering it for a while.
"Half a day... there should still be a chance." Ron said after a moment's hesitation.
After all, gravediggers are not easy to deal with.
Except for the source of the plague, none of the bosses in the Temple of Dusk are easy to deal with.
Although Bridges is quite strong, it may be a bit difficult for him to fight the Gravedigger alone.
"Let's go..."
Without further ado, Ron took Bai Yuan into the imperial mausoleum. As soon as they entered the mausoleum, a smell of decay immediately hit them in the face.
Just as imagined, the imperial mausoleum was extremely dark, with almost no light at all. It was not an exaggeration to say that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. However, this little problem naturally did not affect Ron and Bai Yuan.
Looking ahead, what appeared before my eyes was a secret passage that led to nowhere. There were torches sticking out of the walls on both sides of the passage, but as time passed, the flames had long since gone out.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, and above the dust was a row of messy footprints.
There are human footprints, and some footprints that obviously belong to orcs, and these footprints only show people entering, not leaving.
Bai Yuan's expression changed slightly, he looked at Ron, and hurriedly quickened his pace.
Following the footprints, they walked quickly forward. Along the way, they could see many Dusk Guards that had been cleared out by Bridges. After walking for more than ten minutes, Bai Yuan suddenly frowned, and his mind sank: "There is a smell of blood."
After walking for a few more minutes, a bloody scene appeared in front of Ron and Bai Yuan, with blood splattered all over the walls. The narrow corridor was covered with minced meat, bones, broken internal organs, hairy heads, sharp claws, and hair stained with blood.
This scene made Bai Yuan tremble. These corpses were all orcs who followed Bai Yuan into the Temple of Dusk.
Just by seeing this scene, Ron immediately understood what was going on.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The first person to discover the imperial tomb was not the gravedigger Bridges, but the orcs under Bai Yuan.
The Temple of Dusk has been open for some time. Ron and Bai Yuan are spending a night of love in the library, but many people have gathered outside. These orcs have discovered the imperial tomb, but because they appeared too early and the aura had dissipated long ago, Bai Yuan did not detect the aura of their kind at the door. The orcs suspected that there was a treasure inside, so they destroyed the gate of the imperial tomb. They fought with the Dusk Guards all the way and killed their way here.
However, they never expected that Bridges had also discovered this place and followed all the way. These orcs should have been fighting with the Dusk Guards, but they didn't know that the real danger had appeared from behind. Bridges sneaked attacked these orcs and destroyed their bodies into pieces.
Bai Yuan was not angry.
She acted very calmly.
The Temple of Dusk is such a place. There are no moral or legal constraints here. Fists are the biggest rules. Bai Yuan knows this truth better than anyone else. Her companions died here because they were unlucky and not as skilled as others.
Kneeling on one knee on the ground, Bai Yuan lowered her head, clenched her right hand into a fist and supported it on the ground, muttering something.
This is a ritual of the Orcs, used to bid farewell to warriors who died in battle, hoping that the warriors' souls can find peace in the arms of the God of Wilderness.
After a long time, Bai Yuan stood up and said, "Let's go."
Although Bai Yuan didn't say anything, Ron clearly felt a sense of solemnity from this fox girl, which was completely different from the frivolous and charming feeling she had before.
Because of the long period of pleasure before, Ron almost forgot that Bai Yuan was a genuine legendary master, not just a little woman who enjoyed himself under him.
The speed of the two increased again.
Although there were many rooms on both sides of the passage, neither Ron nor Bai Yuan had any intention of stopping and went straight to the deepest part of the imperial mausoleum.
boom……
Finally, a loud roar suddenly came from a door in front of them.
The entire imperial mausoleum seemed to tremble.
After crossing that door, the deepest secrets of the imperial mausoleum were completely exposed to Ron and Bai Yuan.
Even though he had seen the appearance of the imperial mausoleum in the game, Ron still couldn't help but take a breath, and was deeply shocked by the magnificent and majestic scene before him.
The so-called imperial mausoleum is more like an extremely spacious huge square.
The huge space occupies at least one-third of the area of the Temple of Dusk and is at least tens of meters high. On the dome, there are carvings of mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and the stars. Just below are huge altars, and on each altar is a huge coffin dozens of meters long.
Each coffin is made of molten bronze.
On the coffin, there are carvings of divine dragons, giant pythons, divine birds, as well as swords, spears, and halberds, as if symbolizing the glory of the Dusk people's life of conquest.
At a glance, there are at least hundreds of such coffins in the huge imperial mausoleum.
Nine thigh-thick chains were wrapped around each coffin. The other side of the chains was submerged in the solid wall, and the chains were covered with dense, mysterious and strange runes.
Rather than calling it an imperial tomb, it is more accurate to say that this is a huge seal.
Who would use such chains to tie up the coffin of their ancestors? And even use runes to suppress it?
