Chapter 1079: Reentering the Catacombs
“In addition, judging from the latest report provided by the military, it is suspected that this barbarian invasion is related to the abnormal movement of the earth’s veins a few months ago.”
"After the Earth Vein Change occurred, cracks leading to caves appeared in many territories of the empire, most of which were concentrated in the northern and southern regions of the empire."
< br>“The Imperial Military suspected that the barbarians were transferring their forces through the passages under the Earth Cave, so they raided the Empire from the western region of the Empire, catching the Empire by surprise.”
“But now the Empire has calmed down. All aspects of the empire are optimistic about the outcome of this barbarian invasion. This is generally the situation.”
After saying that, Mo Jiawei glanced at Tang Mingyue who was standing aside.
Originally, he had done a good job in the investigation. He originally wanted to continue investigating along the clues of the abnormal movement of the earth's veins, thinking of coming back to Tang Mingyue to ask for the authority to investigate.
Good guy, just as we passed by, Tang Mingyue and Fang Heng were dragged to the imperial capital to fish and make money.
“Thank you, thank you all for your hard work.”
Wei Tao did not notice anything strange about Tang Mingyue, nodded and said: “I didn’t expect that we would investigate together, but my entry point with you is Different, I started the investigation from the background identity of our team.”
"Except for Tang Mingyue, the rest of us are mercenaries hired by Tang Mingyue. We all had different initial identities. As the investigation deepened, by coincidence, I also found the cave-dwelling beast."
"I found something interesting, come and take a look."
As he said that, Wei Tao took out a map and spread it out in front of everyone.
He pointed to a location.
"About a week ago, the empire discovered the entrance to a catacomb passage outside the main city."
Wei Tao said, turning his gaze to Tang Mingyue.
“For some special reasons, Tang Mingyue personally led the team to investigate. It is not clear what happened during the investigation. However, after leaving the cave after completing the investigation, Tang Mingyue immediately ordered the entire cave to be sealed. , everyone is prohibited from entering or exiting."
Everyone looked at Tang Mingyue after hearing this.
"What?"
Tang Mingyue looked confused and shook her head: "I don't know."
"Well, just like you, we don't have these memories."
Wei Tao continued: "After this incident, Tang Mingyue quietly recruited our team and secretly went to Hani City. Exploring the cracks in the cave outside, and then what happened after that when we entered the trial game."
"From the analysis of some scattered clues, we determined that we originally accompanied the group to explore the cave outside Hani City. The team size should be larger, and there are also translators who understand the language of the cave-dwelling beasts. However, they encountered danger during the process of entering the cave, resulting in casualties."
Milhauch rubbed his temples and tried to analyze. : "Okay, let's make a reasonable guess. Could it be that Tang Mingyue found some clues in the cave and then went to Hani City to search?"
"Well, I think the same thing as you."< br>
Wei Tao continued: "Fortunately, when I continued my investigation, I found an imperial researcher and expert who studied cave-dwelling beasts. It was he who took Tang Mingyue into the cave together."
Everyone He was shocked when he heard this.
Milhauch asked: "Then what? What did Tang Mingyue go through at that time?"
"They no longer remember. They only remember accompanying His Highness Mingyue into the cave. After leaving the cave, he was asked to enter the mage tower and voluntarily erase the relevant memories in the cave."
Fang Heng frowned and voluntarily erased the memory?
It seems that something special has happened that has a great impact and needs to be kept strictly confidential.
Most likely related to the task!
Wei Tao said this and waited for a few minutes, leaving everyone with enough time to think.
Then, Wei Tao looked around at the crowd again.
“We have no way of knowing exactly what happened in the cave, but I think it’s all connected.”
"I suggest that the next step in our investigation is to use the cave as a breakthrough point and enter the cave to explore again. Of course, this time we can bring a translator who is proficient in the language of the cave-dwelling beasts. What do you think?"
Fang Heng secretly asked Wei Tao Liked it.
Not bad, with clear goals and clear ideas.
With Wei Tao here, it would be no big problem for him and Tang Mingyue to fish.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded: "No problem."
"Just do what Brother Tao said."
......
The underground cave discovered within the empire is located in a mountain range outside the empire's main city, Altamai.
Everyone first entered the main city of the empire through the teleportation channel, and then the griffin team flew to the mountains.
About an hour and a half later, the team arrived at the military camp outside the entrance to the cave.
Since Tang Mingyue issued the blockade order, the Imperial Military Headquarters set up a camp here and stationed troops 24 hours a day, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting the cave.
Tang Mingyue led the imperial team and a group of guards as well as the players to get off the griffin and join the imperial guards from the outside.
The imperial soldier in charge of garrison protection came forward, clasped his fists and reported: "Your Highness Mingyue!"
Tang Mingyue nodded, moved his eyes to the entrance of the cave not far away, and asked: "The cave How is the situation recently? "
"Since you issued the order, we have strictly sealed off the cave and expelled merchants and mercenary groups who tried to explore the cave. The frequency of these people has increased recently. A lot.”
"Also, recently we can often feel huge noises coming from the depths of the cave. This phenomenon is more serious late at night. Many soldiers cannot have a good rest at night."
Fang Heng and others listened. As the soldier commander narrated, he couldn't help but look at each other and recalled the scene when he just entered the trial.
Will this damn place collapse too?
Come here, you have to go in and have a look.
“Well, take a few people with me, and the rest will stay outside to guard.”
"Yes!"
After hearing the report, Tang Mingyue led the team into the cave to explore.
This time Tang Mingyue came to explore the cave in person, and the accompanying imperial elite guard was extremely luxuriously equipped with five imperial mages.
Two mage mages released the flash spell.
The soft light dispels the darkness.
The cave is not deep. After walking forward for more than ten steps, you will see a huge crack on the ground.
Everyone tried to stick out the torches in their hands, trying to illuminate the area below the crack.
The crack is so deep that the bottom cannot be seen with the naked eye.
The accompanying camp guard nodded and said: "Your Highness Mingyue, the cave is at the deepest point below the crack. As for what is going on below, we have never been in, so we don't know."
"Yes. , get ready, let’s go down and check.”
The Imperial Elite Group was well prepared and immediately began to arrange ropes and use the ropes to climb down.
Soon, the rope ladders were arranged one after another. (End of this chapter)
