Chapter 694 Discovery (extra updates will be provided for those who have accumulated 600 monthly tickets)
At the same time, Zhou Xu, who was carefully planning the follow-up development plan of the two cities here, was tired after a busy afternoon. Okay, after dinner, I was ready to go back to the bedroom to rest.
The bedroom prepared for him by his subordinates was naturally the largest in the city lord's palace.
When they first arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, it was also in a mess. Basically, everything that could be moved or grabbed was gone. Fortunately, the solid wood bed was big and heavy enough, so they couldn't move it away, otherwise tonight He also had to build himself a camp bed to sleep on.
At this moment, a new bedding had been put on the bed for him. After a brief wash, Zhou Xu quickly got into bed.
It's still winter, and it gets cold after dark.
Originally I wanted to just wrap myself up in quilt and sleep, but as the night got darker, it became completely quiet outside. In this environment, any sound would be particularly noticeable.
【What's going on? Where did the news come from? 】
Lying on the bed, Zhou Xu frowned and subconsciously glanced at the position of the doors and windows in the house, thinking that there was an air leak somewhere in the door or window.
But he soon realized something was wrong. The sound was a bit muffled, more like coming from under his ears.
Almost as soon as he realized this, Zhou Xu immediately sat up from the bed, and then glanced at the bed board beneath him.
This solid wood bed can be said to be full of materials. Looking from the outside, the bottom of the bed is completely filled and there is no space. Under this premise, there is actually a sound of wind down here?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu obviously couldn't sleep anymore. He quickly put on clothes, then lifted up the thick mattress, lit the oil lamp, and looked at the bed board.
I saw that the wide bed board was completely integrated, and there was no problem at all.
“No, no.”
I don't know if it is because the growing power of the mantra in his body has also helped his body. Recently, Zhou Xu has also felt that he has become more and more intelligent.
He never believed that he had heard the rumor wrongly.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu directly put his ear to the wooden board and made sure.
"Yes, that's the sound coming from down here!"
During this period, the Guards soldiers guarding the door undoubtedly heard the noise inside the house, and then knocked on the door. .
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
"Just in time, you guys come in."
After receiving the order, the two soldiers guarding the door immediately opened the door without doubting that he was there. Go inside.
As soon as I entered, I saw the bed and quilt that had been lifted off by their king and thrown aside.
At this moment, their king is trying to lift the bed board underneath, but to no avail.
He could confirm that the bed board was not fixed on all sides and should be able to be opened. However, there was something holding the bed board underneath, making it impossible to open the bed board.
“Go and notify Silk and ask him to bring a group of soldiers, remember to bring torches.”
“Yes!”
He has thought about using it directly The 'flying stone attack' blasted away the bed board, but the movement might be too loud, which made him give up the idea.
After everyone arrived, Zhou Xu quickly made a move.
"Use the blast to split this bed board."
Hearing this, Hilke pulled out his silver steel sword and walked over without asking any questions.
Silke is not the only one who can use this move, but among the existing methods of their elf knights, blast slash is relatively expensive. At this stage, among the elf knights, Only Silk can use it without too much pressure, other elf knights usually reserve it as a killing move.
Now, Zhou Xu is waiting for Silk to arrive with a group of soldiers before taking action, completely out of caution. Who knows what will happen after the bed board is cut open.
As my thoughts flew, I saw a sky-blue sword light flashing through the bedroom, and accompanied by the sound of the whistling wind, a whole solid wood bed was divided into two parts with the bed board attached. It fell with a muffled sound and raised a large amount of dust. Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this scene.
This situation is slightly different from what he expected.
【Forget it, it doesn't matter. 】
Waving his hand, he swept away some of the raised dust.
At the same time, the soldiers on both sides moved swiftly and quickly moved the wooden bed that was divided into two.
During this process, Zhou Xu also saw clearly. It turned out that there was a latch structure as thick as an arm on the back of the bed board. With this plugged in, no wonder it couldn't be moved outside no matter how hard it was moved.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is the tunnel exposed underneath after the wooden bed is moved away!
No one thought that there was such a thing under the bed.
At this moment, Zhou Xu was standing directly on the edge, looking down the tunnel.
This tunnel is not paved with stone steps, but a vertical ladder is hung directly on the inner wall.
If anyone is blocked below, the tunnel will immediately become an important pass that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Everyone who goes down will die.
In addition, it is easier and cheaper to do it this way.
“Give me a torch.”
As he spoke, the soldier on the side quickly handed the torch to Zhou Xu.
After taking the torch, Zhou Xu threw the torch directly down the tunnel without saying a word.
The torch quickly fell to the ground, allowing them to see part of the situation below. It seemed that there was no enemy.
At the same time, the height was visually measured, which was only six or seven meters.
Zhou Xu didn’t need to say much after that. Silke directly nodded to one of his subordinates and motioned for him to go explore the route first.
The height of six to seven meters is nothing to the elf knight.
The soldier stepped on the ladder and slid down with a swipe without intending to walk step by step.
While landing smoothly, he twisted around, leaned his back against the wall with the ladder, and placed his hand on the silver steel sword at his waist.
After confirming that there was no danger around, he picked up the torch that Zhou Xu had dropped earlier and signaled that they could come down.
During this period, I briefly scanned the surrounding soldiers and found a stone lantern on the left and right sides, so I quickly lit it with a torch, making the tunnel suddenly brighter.
At this moment, Zhou Xu and Hilke also came down. Counting Hilke, they brought four soldiers with them, while the others stayed above to support them.
The structure below is simple, nothing complicated. There is only a passage several meters long that leads to the stone chamber at the end.
Before he even got close, Hilke, who was standing in the passage, sniffed and realized something was wrong.
“It smells of blood!”
This discovery made the group of people vigilant and vigilant. Four elf knights protected Zhou Xu in the middle, cautiously came to the stone room.
The next second, two corpses with different death conditions suddenly broke into his sight.
A corpse seemed to have been stabbed directly in the heart with a dagger, and it was very clear that it died.
The other one was more miserable. At first glance, it seemed that the neck had been scratched, and a large amount of blood flowed out. At the same time, the face was distorted, as if it had experienced some extreme pain. It was shocking to see!
【Good guy, it's late at night, the labor and management are going to bed, can you show me this? ! 】
