Chapter 2414 Nishan Fortress
Coming out of the woods, a few people walked into a canyon. As they went deeper, the canyon became narrower and narrower. When the light was shining above their heads, the width at the top was only less than ten meters.
"Is the end ahead?" Avro controlled the light ball to fly forward. Instead of an end, there was an artificial mountain road ahead. The reason why it is said to be artificially built is because there are stone steps on the ground. Although some stone steps are no longer in shape, the entire mountain road is still obvious.
"Go up?" The hammer-wielding dwarf looked up. They had not fully understood the situation in this quarry. There seemed to be some roads leading to other places before they came here.
Ke'er made a decision and said: "I don't think so much anymore, let's go up this road."
After walking for more than a hundred steps, a guiding stone appeared on the side of the mountain path, with the words "Nitouthan Fortress" written in vague writing on it. There was no room for the Dark Gold Sun Crown Dragon to follow anymore, so Bimoye recalled it and continued to climb up behind Ke'er.
The road steps gradually entered the mountain. Under the hollow mountain shell, a majestic fortress was built inside. Bimoye carefully observed the steps and the situation in front of the fortress gate: "There are no traces of anyone coming. "
"Do we still want to go in?" Miao looked at this dark mountain fort that had not been visited for many years, and really didn't want to go in.
"We must enter, we have no retreat." Bimoye stepped forward, put his hand on the dirt-covered fortress door, and called Delma to slowly push the door open.
The biggest advantage of losing the emotion of fear is that you are fearless. Even if you have some bad premonitions, you will not flinch.
The interior of the fortress was very vast, and there was no obvious bad luck. Several people entered one by one holding miner's lamps and copper chandeliers, and illuminated the surrounding area with light balls before Moye and Afro. There are traces of militarization in the fortress, but they are not obvious. There are some ventilation windows high on the wall, as well as two ancient magic rock cannons and some bed crossbows. In addition to these military traces, the planning and layout of the internal room passages is more like a business institution than a military castle with strict barriers. It is conceivable that the structure here should have been one or two senior officials or military officers, and below them were some personnel doing various things. They posed a certain external threat, but it was certainly not serious. They were mostly monsters in the forest, and their main functions were It is to manage the mining and production of quarries and mines.
These are Bimoye's guesses. He has visited the mines outside Thebiles. The organization responsible for managing the mines has a similar layout, but it is not in the form of a fortress.
The two dwarves confirmed this: "Some dwarf tribes living underground will build a fortress near the mine. This is the habit of the tribe... Hey, is this fortress also ours? Built by the dwarves?”
How many people are in the castle? Going deeper into the fortress, it can be seen from the preserved state of the room that the people here were evacuated, and the evacuation was relatively hasty. There are fallen candlesticks and hangers, and drawers that are not closed after being opened, because this type of furniture is not entirely made of wood. , so we can also imagine the scene at that time from these situations. Apparently, those who evacuated had no intention of coming back. In addition, they found signs that dwarves had lived here. The tables, chairs, and beds in some rooms were too short, and some of the equipment left behind included hand axes and armors that were suitable for use by dwarves.
"Sure enough, building this castle is the idea of our dwarves." The two dwarves said a little excitedly: "Maybe Lao Wang has really been here."
The fortress has several floors, and each floor is empty. Delma wondered: "Will the secret be in this fortress?"
"I don't think it is here." Bimoye said this, but every step was taken smoothly. Very carefully, they came to the largest room on the top floor. This was a high-rise conference hall with a vertical structure. On the wall deep in the conference hall, there were many traces of random digging, as if something had been removed. Chiseled out and taken away, or destroyed to hide something.
Delma found half an old and corrupted piece of paper in the stone. If it had not been sandwiched between two wall stones and the paper was better, it would have long since decayed into dust. Even so, Delma still broke the stone when he opened it. There was writing on it, but unfortunately the writing was blurred, and he could only vaguely recognize the word "tree"!
"Tree?"
A few people thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of anything. It was probably an ordinary word in an ordinary official document, and at most it was related to those touching branches.
"Come and see, there is a stone door here." Miao shouted, trying to push the stone door, but it couldn't be pushed.
“Is it a dark room?” Several people stood in front of the door, unable to push it open.
Bimoye told them to get out of the way, punched Frost Arm, and violently broke open, revealing a large cave behind.
“It’s a cave again!”
Now they are disgusted and disgusted when they see the cave. If there is a complicated road again, things will be even more troublesome. A few people decided to search the fortress. What if they could find something? Because they did not dare to search a room alone, everyone entered and exited at the same time, which made the efficiency very slow. Soon everyone was hungry and tired, so they found a room to get something to eat. Feeling that the environment was quite safe, Bimoye took out the small soup pot in his backpack and decided to eat some hot food. In this cold environment, the food is always old and hard, making everyone uncomfortable.
Just when everyone was looking forward to boiling the dried meat and drinking it hot, Bimoye suddenly felt something standing at the door of the room. When he looked up, he saw that it was several familiar people from the Bloody Mercenary Group. .
"Bimoye, you are making broth here and you don't invite us?" A few generous members of the Bloody Mercenary Group walked in with a smile, as if they were not in a gloomy environment at all.
The two dwarves, Delma and Mio, jumped up in fright, and even Avro and Cole exclaimed.
"Hey, what are your expressions? We were finally separated and reunited. Aren't you happy?" A total of eight 'people' from the Bloody Mercenary Group came in. They were very familiar with each other by the soup pot. He sat down, picked up the spoon and stirred: "What? How can such a small amount of meat be enough for us people? Put more, more."
The seven Bimoye people looked livid, and no one dared to move. Delma asked: "Where did you come from? Where did you go before?"
A member of Yuxue gestured: "We came out of the cave in the conference hall over there. We were separated before. Yeah, we're looking for you everywhere."
"Where's the leader? I mean Deputy Scar, and Luo and Irina." Bimoye and everyone stepped aside.
"Not found yet. Have you met them?"
Bimoye shook his head solemnly and asked again: "Are you happy? What good things happened?"
One person said cheerfully: "My wife is pregnant. She is a boy. I will go back to reunite with her soon."
Another person said: "We dug up several sacks of demons in the cellar of our house. The crystal coins are all of high quality. I am also going to go home and stop being a mercenary."
The seven people listened to them talking about good things one by one, and looked at each other, and a nervous heat rushed from their backs to their faces. Neck auricle.
Delma asked: "Your home is in Magic Moon, and you haven't been home for many months. How did your wife get pregnant? How do you know she is pregnant, or is it a boy?"
The 'person' was stunned for a long time with a smile on her face and a frown on her face, and said: "She told me in a letter."
"When did she write you the letter, and how did it get to you?"
"It was just yesterday. It seems that the postman delivered the letter to me... It seems..." he said He couldn't speak anymore, and the joyful expression on his face gradually solidified. Suddenly he showed an extremely frightened look, and then his whole person dissipated in the air like mist, as did the other people, exactly the same as the six people in the lumberyard.
Afro said: "I have a bad premonition that all my companions in this situation are dead."
Bimoye nodded: "Fortunately, this time Luo and Irina and the others are not among them, but it’s hard to say next time. We have to save every break and speed up before everything becomes irreversible!”
