I have a shelter

Chapter 157: Deep into the Tomb Chamber

George asked her something again, this time about the estate.

"What? Lord Earl? She is very kind to us and likes to take us with her wherever she goes. Although she looks stern, she is actually very gentle and kind."

"I'm not her personal maid, so how can I know what's on her mind. But in my impression, no matter before or later, I was only deeply afraid of her. No matter how hungry I was, I didn't dare to catch her attention. It's her, I don't even dare to attack other 'living people' because I don't even know what I am, I think I'm just sick."

"Indeed, she is our king, but I really didn't know this at the beginning. Because even before she was cursed, my feelings for her were the same as now - only love and fear. And no matter before or now, Or the future. She has always been our master."

Jack told many of the things he had heard in the southern part of the valley, and the woman responded to those rumors with anger and curses - indeed, she was asking the wrong person. In the eyes of such admirers who are crazy about their master, even if those things are true, their master has done nothing wrong.

"Who do you think is more powerful, your master or the wizard down there?" George asked the topic he was most concerned about.

"That dirty, putrid thing is not worthy to be compared with my king!" the woman said, "He is only worthy of playing with maggots in the sewer!"

The woman's wakefulness only lasted for a while, and then she was entangled in spider webs, with a wooden stake driven into her heart, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Anthony, I think it is better for you to put that gem on your wand than to give Lorna a piece of jewelry." George said sarcastically: "Look at the attitude of these things towards the wizard. Obviously when they are awake, they The gems don't have much control over them - if we really organize an army of monsters in the future, they might rebel at some point."

"It shouldn't be." Then he frowned, touched his chin and began to think: "Although these vampires are somewhat different from the undead, in theory, as long as a part of their souls are split, they can be absolutely controlled - you Look, they have been out of that circle, this is disobedience."

"Who knows, maybe the treasure is not as useful now as it was before, or maybe - or the gem doesn't exist at all."

"Don't you dare try to embezzle my gems! Make jewelry for Lorna?? You're not afraid of throwing her to death!" Anthony stared, waving his sleeves and getting angry: "If you don't give it to me, I won't do it! "

"I don't know who persuaded me to go back before." George curled his lips: "Now that the battle has not started, I think of the spoils."

A night of silence.

In the next two days, the entire cemetery ground area has been cleaned. Including the ruins of the church, the soldiers also cleaned up - they used the rubble to build some defenses. But what is disappointing is that the thing deep in the cave has never appeared, as if the spiders had just opened an ordinary tomb.

However, when cleaning up the vicinity of the church, they also got a lot of unexpected gains. In addition to some silverware and colored glaze in the church, the soldiers also found a lot of things from the coffins in the small tomb.

Doing the math, the total of the various trophies in the past few days is indeed a large number. Just the thumbnail-sized gems inlaid on the ring and armor alone totaled more than three hundred! There are countless gems less than 2 carats. After rough measurements, the figure of eight hundred carats has been exceeded.

It can be said that the gems harvested in the area above the cemetery alone are more than those accumulated by the nobles in the southeastern part of the valley. Of course, there is a slight difference in quality. I don’t know if the family members of the deceased had changed the details before burial, or if the Black Pearl family used these gems that were not shiny enough to deceive the deceased.

It seems to be more like the former, because many gems are of medium to upper quality. The annual output of gems in the valley is not a small number. Even if low-grade gems account for the majority, the number of good gems that are singled out is a bit scary.

Compared with gems, gold coins and silver coins are somewhat less, with a total of only more than 6,000 coins. However, there is also a lot of gold and silver outlined on those armors. In addition to some silverware, the armors buried with some noble knights with higher status are still made of silver.

Therefore, if all were smelted, it should be equivalent to 12,000 to 14,000 silver foxes.

Considering that the shelter mainly needs silver, the ancient gold and silver coins collected here should also be kept. Therefore, after discussing with Garvey and others, George decided that future rewards would be mainly the golden lions left in the shelter - gold will always be more valuable than silver in people's hearts, and those soldiers who have no worries about food and clothing, I was so excited when I heard that the reward had been raised to a higher level.

In addition to these treasures, there are many materials that can be used in the cemetery - most of them grow in small, dark and damp tombs, and they are some strange little plants and creatures.

A large amount of 'death essence', spider webs, eggs, and special organs were also collected after the ghosts were burned.

In fact, there were many things in those corpses that were recorded in the book, but apart from a few rare monsters from the Scarlet Huntress, Anthony did not order anyone to collect too many other things - after all, there was a lot of work involved in doing this kind of work. There is a risk of infection if you are not careful. Compared with monsters such as scavengers, these undead are not very valuable.

However, some brave knights and soldiers did not let go of the bodies of the blasphemers, and searched them all over - some wicked people even knocked off the gold teeth of the dead.

The poisonous gas basically dissipated on the second night, although it is not ruled out that there may still be some harmful gases in the tomb due to poor ventilation. But according to Anthony's experimental results, the venom of the strange spider has lost its activity.

No one wants to stay here for too long, and the more treasures buried inside also make the knights and soldiers eager to try, and they are very anxious - those things have dazzled the eyes of these guys. Unlike at the beginning, they are now fearless about what is in the big tomb.

Considering that too much time will be detrimental to morale. On the morning of the third day, George led the team to set off - there were only more than 100 knights and more than 100 soldiers.

Most of the soldiers were left on the ground. In the complex and crowded environment below, too many people might be a bit troublesome. And the ground exit also needs to be guarded by someone - the main reason is that George is afraid that the tunnel will be blocked or collapsed suddenly.

Digging on top is much easier than digging below.

The soldiers who went with the knights were the most elite ones. They were the best among the soldiers in terms of will and body. With the current equipment, they were better than the first batch of gray knights in the shelter. George hoped that they could gain some insights after this battle and some of them could become true fearless knights.

Considering the effect of the "Torch of Hope" last night, George asked everyone to bring a lot this time. The soldiers used local materials and cut tree trunks into simple short throwing spears so that they could be used to deal with the enemy in emergencies.

And it was very dark underground, which might affect the field of vision brought by the "illuminance". If the "Spear of Hope" was thrown out, it could be thrown faster, more accurately and farther than the torch.

In addition to these things, the soldiers also brought two special things.

One was "Blue Withering", which was made by replacing the one hundred bottles of potions left over from the first war on crystals - with some mithril added.

The other was a lavender crystal with mithril added inside, which was specially prepared by Anthony for the wizard.

Both crystals were made into diamond shapes, and they also had iron hoops at the ends. It took some time to make spears from local materials.

Although they were stronger and safer than glass, they were still wrapped in thick linen and weeds. To avoid accidentally breaking the two things on the belt during the collision.

However, because the number was too small, Anthony was in charge of the decision when to use them.

For this exploration of the "underground city", the scholars of the shelter had been preparing for a long time. For this purpose, a very special torch was specially made - it burned a light blue fire, with almost no temperature and no brightness. But it could emit a fresh breath - and some water vapor.

The so-called fresh breath was actually a little pungent, but according to the scholars, the pungent water vapor could absorb the most harmful gases in the underground city.

When George heard Anthony's explanation, several vague chemical formulas turned in his mind, and he roughly guessed several possibilities, but he didn't know how they combined those alkalis, oxygen, and hydrogen together.

This torch was combined with the torch of hope. More than 200 people held it in their hands, forming a long dragon in the wide tunnel, and slowly walked down.

The crushed debris and huge scratches left by the strange spiders in the tunnel made people feel that they had walked into the gullet of an unknown giant beast.

The road ahead was dark.
