On the one hand, this is because the members of the Edward family who are dissatisfied with the patriarch fought for the road. On the other hand, when cheese and others enter combat, the dangerous smell in these people is enough to make the craziest beast think about the consequences of blocking. Half beast Jack rushed in the front, wolfwalker''s unparalleled strength and speed allowed him to hit the enemy who could not escape along the road into the distance. Even if a ghoul gets away from the humanoid tank, the two knights behind jack, Lothar and Atticus, will harvest those lives with their sorcery knives in their hands. The two knights, one old and one young, encourage each other with dazzling skills.
With this hard combination, cheese and the old ghouls around him almost only need to run and climb the tombstones along the way. The mage was surprised to see that although the skinny guide looked weak, in such a high-speed movement, the oil lamp in his field of vision was stably maintained in the same position, which meant that the speed of the other side was completely up to that of the mage, or even better. Heather, who is in charge of the rear of the team, has the most say in this regard. In the view of the female knight, the old corpse ghost is not fast, and does not rely on muscle force to speed up the speed as other people do. Rather than running, the old man is more like floating close to the ground. Its body seems to have no weight. It only needs a slight push to fly far away.
Tombstone in a few people around the rapid retreat, blink of an eye has been deep into the center of the cemetery. Here, the Edwards'' civil war is more intense. If two forces can be distinguished in the outer cemetery, the fighting in the central area can be described as chaos. Every ghoul is fighting with all his strength to fight against his contemporaries. He does not have any energy to estimate the formation and other things, such as amputated limbs, flesh and blood, disembodied bodies They hang on tombstones, spread on the ground, and even those branches in the air have remnants of battle. The air is filled with the pungent smell of Ghoul blood. Even the bright moonlight is not enough to cover the purgatory scene.
The battle was so fierce that even the experienced iron knights and the count of Heishan frowned. They know that the battle in front of them is different from the war between human beings and rat people, and also different from the war between the Kingdom''s army and other kingdoms or the fight against bandits. This battle is much more cruel than mentioned above. "Is it worth paying such a painful price?" Said cheese in a low voice. He looked at the old corpse ghost around him. The mage understood that the Edward family would come to this stage. The betrayal of the patriarch was not enough. The elder, known as the elder, must have played a certain role in promoting the civil war in the whole family.
"There''s never been anything worth it, Mr. grey. Many questions can''t be asked easily, because once they are discovered, they must be answered, otherwise, they will destroy everything of the questioner himself. " With these words, the old man rushed to the wolf walker. "You can''t count on those young people for the next road. It''s time for me to work as a guide." The lantern in his hand began to emit a fierce light. The light was not fire light, and it was different from the light in the world. The light was strange and friendly. If you want to stay away from it, you can''t help prying. Only cheese in the team knows that the only thing that can emit this light is the soul of life.
Under the protection of the light of the soul, the ghouls in the chaos do not realize that someone is passing by them. In the process of moving forward, Lothar noticed that under the light, the words on the tombstone had disappeared completely. Instead, there were faces of different shapes and colors on the stone slab. The count of Heishan felt that his scalp was exploding. He wanted to remind his companions to pay attention to him, but cheese reached out to stop his action. "Those are the souls buried here. We are walking through their world now. Don''t disturb them. "
In this strange environment, several people walked through the cemetery for a period of time. Soon, an open grave appeared in front of them, and the stone corridor led to the ground below. Here, we can see the number of ghouls fighting far more than other areas. "Come on, let''s go straight through before the light goes out." Said the old ghoul, who led the way, and ran straight to the ghouls in front of the door. At the moment his body touched each other, unbelievable things happened, and the fighting Edwards family members were passed through like nonexistent phantoms, unaware.
Jack, who was close behind, was surprised at the scene, but he thought it was too late to brake. As soon as wolf Walker closed his eyes, he made force at his feet and rushed to the front together As Heather, the last member of the team, stepped down the steps, the flames in the ghoul''s Lantern gradually became normal. "Welcome to Edward''s crypt. Although this is not a good time to visit. " Said the guide, walking down the steps into the darkness.
The crypt continues down, and in the narrow, dark corridors, even the most directional werewolves gradually forget how far they have gone down. However, unexpectedly, the air in this cave is extremely clean, there is no imaginary smell of corpse, and there is no smell of damp and moldy tomb soil. The air here is clean and does not belong to ghouls. Stairs, turn back in front, an open hall connected up and down, jack with the ability of night vision can vaguely see some cabinets in the corner of the hall. "This is the chapel, where we usually wake the dead. There''s a room for each of the clansmen, one for each. But by the time we got down, 19 of the 31 had lost their owners. It is a tedious job to select new sacrificial rites. It is hoped that there will be enough qualified people among the remaining clansmen. After the war, kings have a lot of bodies to deal with. " The old man said calmly, as if he were really introducing his home to outsiders.The team continued down the stairs in the hall. After walking about the same distance as before, another empty space appeared. Unlike the hall, the air was filled with a faint smell of blood. "This is the family''s dining room, and the corpses that have been wakened in the chapel will be transported down for our people to eat. Eating etiquette is the basic skill of soul watchers. It can free us from eating craziness and stop being bloodthirsty beasts. Every Edward spent a lot of time training when he was young. But, "said the old man, shaking his head," how can one overcome his inherent nature so easily? As long as the spirit of a little slack, years of training on the instant collapse
In the dining room, the corridor leading to the deeper part of the crypt is locked by a gate, preventing the team from moving forward. "The third level, which is the deepest part of the crypt, is the private space for the head of the Edwards family and his cronies, where they received the instruction of their ancestors and understood the knowledge of life and death. But now, it''s occupied by an immortal. It''s ironic that its existence is the greatest desecration of death. "
"Can you open this gate?" Jack asked, the blasphemer in the ghoul''s mouth was clearly the Lich they were looking for. As a protection to the lich, the gate will not open so easily. "Originally, I really had the qualification to lead to the deepest place, but the existence brought back by the patriarch changed the way the gate works. Now only the key exclusive to this door can open it."
The answer was not so satisfactory. Lothar frowned. "Where are we going to find that key?" The old Ghoul didn''t answer. He just looked at the cheese with a smile. The mage nodded under the gaze of his companions and took out the shovel he had got from chieftain Edward. He went to the gate and carefully observed the iron grid. Then he picked up the shovel and tapped a certain iron bar with the shovel tip. "Ding!" The clear sound reverberated in the open cavern. Then a sound of metal friction sounded, and the enchanted gate slowly opened upward.
Cheese stood at the top of the ladder and looked back at the members of the team. The grey robed mage tilted his head. "Come on, it''s time to meet this friend."
