It was as if a giant had dug a deep well in the center of the tunnel, and Uriel couldn't imagine where it would lead.
York was also a little hesitant. "what 's wrong?"
"The Incident at the Angmar Tunnels."
Uriel replied, "I think it probably started at this time. The ground collapsed and the rails broke. No one even came here for half a day, and everyone who came here at that time fell... The railway in the year of Qingye has already Once completed, the next step is to wait for it to open to traffic.”
"Isn't anyone here to check the tracks?"
"So there must be something we don't know about here. And I have a hunch that the reason is probably down here." He paused and said, "Elven treasure."
York continued: "Mysterious place."
The two bold guys looked at each other, and the adventurer spoke first: "I have a hook."
Uriel pulled a tangled mess of thick fibers from the shadows. "There's rope everywhere."
So nothing could stop them from going down to find out. Uriel tried his best to convince York to go ahead with him. He didn't want the orange-faced man to suddenly think of his comrades who died on Hercule Street when he was halfway up the climb. The mercenary would probably add his name to the list of people he recalled in the future.
When climbing a steep face, the worst part is going down. Uriel could see the light above him, the yellow light of the lantern and the orange light of York's body, which made his eyes dizzy. A very unfriendly darkness surrounded him, and Uriel forced himself to ignore the strange feeling that filled his limbs. He didn't worry about falling because he always felt as if the rock wall was holding on to him.
What surprised the apprentice was the railroad tracks. He found that the track on his side was not broken, but merely twisted, or turned over. Pieces of gravel don't look like they are protruding from the side walls, but are well placed on the ground. For no reason, the apprentice actually thought that they were held firm by the stone wall.
So he tried to take another step downward——
Then he lay down on the ground.
This sudden situation is undoubtedly a trajectory that has never been reached by ordinary people's imagination. The apprentice froze for a moment, lying quietly on the sand and stones motionless. After a long while, he stretched his arms and left the rock wall. As expected, the rock wall held him with greater strength and became more familiar. Because that power weighs as much as his body.
Did I accidentally activate precognitive magic?
Uriel almost thought he was back when he first climbed, and couldn't help but feel dizzy. He quickly pulled the rope upwards, causing York to complain angrily: "Did you fall?"
However, things were not as simple as he thought.
As soon as Uriel poked his head out, he felt that his neck had been tortured again, and he couldn't help but let out an ouch; but at the same time, he also saw that the orange-faced man was still not far above his head, and the rope around his waist was loosely tied. With.
"I think I know what the problem is." He stepped back, stood up, let the rock wall catch his feet, and untied the rope. Now that Uriel was standing on the ground, when he lowered his head, he could see the adventurer's soles and head.
The mercenary turned his head to meet his eyes, and was so frightened that he almost fell down. "you?!"
Uriel pulled the rope and pulled him down. York was caught off guard and fell all the way, then stopped beside the apprentice. He was so close to swearing. Uriel also lifted him up before this happened, "The direction of gravity here has changed."
At this moment, two mysterious creatures stood on the mountain wall. This is undoubtedly the case from the perspective of the tunnel where they were originally staying, but if the mountain wall is used as a plane, the Angmar Tunnel is turned downward exactly ninety degrees.
They were still standing on the ground.
York squatted down and stood up again. After repeating it several times, he still wasn't satisfied. "We can go on." He was very excited.
"It seems that those people before went down like this," Uriel said. "They didn't have ropes, so they couldn't climb the cliff. If we go to the end, we might see them again."
Those workers were the first people to disappear in the tunnel, and what would follow would be a large-scale subsidence, burying the kingdom's first railway line; or even more exciting, no one would notice anything unusual here until the No. 1 train arrived. When entering the tunnel, disaster struck like fate.
The train plunged into this deep well, taking many workers and passengers with it. They just keep going down, down. Orbits have no loops, and neither does time. Uriel trembled all over, I discovered the truth about the Angmar Tunnel and the real cause of the collapse of the Morris Mountains? Gaia!
Even if you can't find the treasure, this experience is not boring at all.
The mercenary said: "Then what are you waiting for?"
What's more, the treasure is right in front of you.
The road was not as long as they imagined, and soon they stopped again.
This time, with York leading the way, the unsettling darkness is pushed aside. Uriel couldn't see the stone walls on both sides, but he could find that every time the orange-faced man's gaze swept past him, he would freeze for a moment.
Finally he couldn't help but asked: "What did you see?"
The adventurer turned his head again before answering. He wasn't afraid or panicked, but simply felt uncomfortable. "I always feel like something is watching me." He drew his sword.
The sound of the iron sheath is like plucking the heartstrings. Uriel also drew his weapon. It was like cold water showering his head, completely waking up from the fresh stimulation. Familiar magic fluctuations immediately appeared in his range of perception, and Uriel just wanted to angrily scold himself for his slowness.
"There is an enemy, a mysterious creature!"
The apprentice sincerely hoped that his enemies would be as afraid of his dagger as Sir Conrey was. But if any ordinary person had such ability, the treasure would not be in the hands of these two half-hearted guys.
The environment is too dark, so it is not easy to find the target. The adventurer immediately raised his sword: "Chasing Shadows!"
A large burst of light exploded from the sword blade, and thin threads cut the shadow into pieces. The entire passage was filled with the fragrance of sunlight.
Holy magic——
Only then did Uriel realize that York's profession was the Vanguard of Darkness. From what he told me, he must have wanted to do this for a long time. But why not?
"No one." The apprentice heard his companion say, his tone full of anxiety. "I knew it."
Having light is certainly comforting, but if you still find nothing in the light, it is better to let yourself believe that there is a peeper hidden in the darkness.
But with the light, Uriel could see more clearly than he could. In other words, not seeing. "In front!" He threw the short knife almost immediately. It was also different from the door of "Bad Brinz". This time, the apprentice's accuracy was good. The blade nailed the stone wall and penetrated a hat by the way.
There was a scream at the end of the tunnel.
Maybe it was the knowledge in the existence and fire that played a role. Uriel himself didn't expect that he could actually hit it with one blow. He was still frozen in place, but York was already running over, bright tracks streaking across the darkness.
Under the orange light, the unfortunate enemy finally revealed his figure. It was a little thing only an arm long, with pointed ears, gray paws, and a pair of golden eyes. It was wearing a glove but no muzzle, and it was grinning and trying to bite York's finger. When the mercenary pulled it off from under the blade, he knocked it hard on the small head unceremoniously, making the guy swing back and forth like a paddling motion under the grip of the leather gloves.
"Is it you?" Uriel recognized its silver fur when he got closer. It turned out to be the little worker who had fallen in the tunnel overhead. "Aren't you an image? Why can we meet you?"
"No manners! You are the image!" This little guy who looked incompatible with humans screamed again. Its ears were originally hidden under its hair, and its face was covered with a layer of dirt. If it weren't for the messy hair, Uriel wasn't sure he would still be able to recognize it.
"I'm Mamie, Mamie Graypaw," said the silver-haired creature. "I'm a werewolf. Get your dirty gloves off!"
York was very surprised: "You still dislike me like this?"
The apprentice's focus is more normal: "A werewolf? Is it a monster that turns into a wolf on the night of the broken moon?"
"Yes, it's them. Oh, it's them now." York replied, "Maybe the mysterious land temporarily made him lose this ability, uh, and the effect is not complete... After all, the rules here are different from the outside world. "
"I saw him in the previous group. He was wearing workers' clothes. Are those werewolves?"
"That's a 'real projection'. I'm the only one, and the others are all shadows." Meimi muttered, turning to glare at the mercenary. "You reek of aconite. You'd better put me down, big Sita." He showed one of his canine teeth, "or I'll bite you!"
"If I ever touch aconite, you won't dare bite me." The mercenary sneered at its threat. He could even tell at a glance that the little wolf lived in the tunnel. "Or are you saying that you can't even use your brain if you stay in the tunnel?"
The little wolf pressed his gray paw against his eyes. "Today is the most complete day of the Broken Moon." It seemed to have found a reason, and it suddenly became more confident and announced loudly: "It's not that my brain is not working well at all!"
At this time, Uriel already understood that this guy was simply mixed in the images of a group of people before in front of the track, and ran past them openly. He even accidentally fell - but no one tripped him.
The apprentice began to doubt this statement, but not just his brain, maybe his feet too. Neither of these works very well. "You said he lived in the Angmar tunnels?"
"And it's Angmar from the Year of Green Leaves." The orange-faced man hung Mimi on the wall again, making him kick and scream in anger. "Don't forget that we just happened to get in here. If there was a way out, he would definitely not stay here."
"I also want to ask how you got in!"
"There's no point telling you, shut up."
"Wait, York, I still have questions to ask him." Uriel didn't expect the mercenary's attitude towards the little wolf to be so bad. It seemed that he was really frightened by Memie's elusiveness just now.
This gave the werewolf an opportunity. "What do you want to ask?" His eyes rolled, "If you take me out, I will tell you everything."
"You still want to bargain?" The adventurer took off his gloves and squatted down to scare him. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll put the glove in your mouth and let you bite as much as you like."
"You can't do this." The little wolf simply howled, tears washing away the dirt on his face. "I'm going to die..."
Uriel covered his face, unable to bear to look at his stupid look. "Put him down."
By the way, Gaia, did this little fool knock himself out?
