Chapter 536 The Labyrinth of the Betrayer
There is an organization that does not want the Demon King to return. They are extremely powerful and deeply hidden. They secretly control all dynasty changes on the entire continent. Their purpose is to prevent the Demon King from returning. God suddenly returns.
Regardless of what kind of organization the Glow Ion Yin Order is, since these prosthetic enthusiasts have turned into corpses, they are not the same organization that does not want the Demon King to return.
But this cannot be simply summarized as "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". The other party has crossed countless planes and came to the demon kingdom, and it is very likely that he came here for the Demon King's Ring.
What puzzled Aldai was, why?
I don’t see any entanglement of interests, and I don’t look like a follower of the Demon King. You guys come here to make money.
Not only Aldai was confused, but Li Chengqi, who was looking through the computer screen, was also puzzled.
What makes Li Chengqi wonder is that there are Nixie tubes in the magical world...
Then I thought about it, maybe it was 'invented' by people who traveled from the earth in the past. It seems reasonable to say this.
At this time, Aldai suddenly stood up, and Zola and Nemea, who were not far behind him, also turned and looked at the other side of the tunnel. They all reached out to touch their weapons, feeling as if they heard some movement.
In fact, the three of them heard a terrible low roar, which was very similar to the whine made by the wind blowing through the cave, but the sound brought strong malice to people. Just listening to the sound made every cell in the body emit... Fierce warning.
There's danger ahead, run!
However, it was not a monster approaching, and the sound only rang once. The three of them stood there to discuss it, and then decided to continue walking deeper.
Still as brave as ever.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Some kind of terrible roar was chilling, but it also interrupted Alday's thoughts.
She randomly selected a few prosthetic limbs or implants from the mountain of corpses and stuffed them into the magic bag. Then she called Zola and Nemea, and the three of them set out on the road again without any intention of backing down.
Of course, for Aldai, the terrifying roar could not stop her from moving forward, and she even wanted to see what the roaring thing was...
Having said that, regardless of the true identity of the group of prosthetic enthusiasts, since they died here recently and the bodies were piled into a hill, the murderer is probably still in the ruins.
Obviously, the person who killed them was not a monster, otherwise they wouldn't be piled up so neatly at the door. It felt more like someone from an organization that didn't want the Demon King to return.
Aldai has already taken away a Demon King's Ring. The organization operating behind it will definitely set up defenses in the remaining seals where the Demon King's Ring is stored. It is likely that they will run into them this time, which is expected.
Perhaps due to the mountain of corpses, the three of them were more cautious in their subsequent actions. They tried not to make any noise and did not light any light sources. They relied entirely on the brazier arranged in the tunnel to illuminate their way forward.
This time we walked almost two hundred meters. As the tunnel gradually narrowed, the exit finally appeared in front of us.
Nemea took the first step and quietly approached the exit for a look. No trace of the enemy was found, and then he gestured for Aldee and Zola to follow.
Coming out of the tunnel, the first thing you see is a huge underground cavity.
The top is about twenty meters high from the ground, and ravine-like roads extend below the feet. At first glance, they look like a hedge maze, but they are made of stone.
Opposite the entrance of the tunnel is an open space the size of a square, with a huge beacon-like thing poking into the ground, which is still burning with pale green flames, providing the most basic lighting.
As far as the eye can see, there are no corpses, no monsters, and not even many traces of human activity. However, you can often hear some rustling sounds, like insects crawling across the tiles. tiny movements.
Aldai waved her staff, and several translucent prying eyes were spread out, hovering around like drones to monitor any possible dangers.
"This is supposed to be a maze, I can't see how big it is."
Zola pointed to the stone part above the gully and said:
"Can I pass through it?" "Yes, but it's too conspicuous."
Don't forget, there must be an organization here that doesn't want the Demon King to return. There are only three of them, and it will be very troublesome if they are surrounded.
"Anyway, let's go down first. I think this square is a bit abnormal. Take a closer look."
It was useless to continue standing here. The three of them went down the stairs on the side of the tunnel entrance, and soon they were standing in the square.
This square is very flat, and some traces of flames can be seen vaguely on the ground, but they are not very regular.
Aldai felt like someone had used some kind of fire spell here, but the traces were too vague to make an accurate judgment.
Continuing to walk forward, we came to near the center of the square, where Aldai's voyeuristic eyes saw something that concerned her.
In the center of the square, a huge black circle was made out of stones and paint. Due to the dim surroundings, the three of them ignored it at first, and they didn't notice it until they got closer.
When you get closer, you will find that this black circular pattern is surrounded by a flame-like pattern.
It is too regular and distinctive to be a natural formation.
This should be some kind of emblem, but there is no organization or individual that uses this emblem in Aldai's memory.
Is it the emblem of an organization that doesn't want the Demon King to return, or is it something else?
The three of them got closer. Aldai signaled Zola and Neemia to stay where they were, and she stepped forward to get closer.
This emblem has been here for a long time, and eye-catching traces of fading can be seen in many places. However, someone recently repainted it with paint, and the faded parts can only be seen in the details.
Moreover, Aldai also discovered that there were traces of being burned by flames around the black sphere pattern, which was also very new and completely different from what he had just seen, but he did not see any ashes left by burning fuel around.
This is not like a purely symbolic emblem, it is more like someone has used it recently.
An idea suddenly popped into Aldai's mind.
Could this thing be a certain holy symbol?
How many gods are there in the multiverse world? This is a question that even the most knowledgeable scholars cannot answer. After all, there are too many planes, and a god, even one like Lathander, has followers in multiple planes. Powerful divine power can only appear in four or five planes at most.
But according to Li Chengqi, the gods have fallen and are unlikely to come back in a short time. Even the holy emblem should be temporarily useless.
After hesitating for a moment, Aldai stretched out her hand and gently touched the edge of the black sphere pattern.
This is definitely a very risky move, to remove the holy symbol of a god that you have no understanding of at all. You have no idea whether the other end of the holy symbol is a doge coin, and it may be attacked.
Aldai just thought that nothing would happen if the gods fell, so she decided to do this and use the spell of 'identify magic items' to confirm what this emblem was.
The moment she touched the emblem, Aldai immediately regretted it.
Because when her fingertips touched the emblem, her eyes went dark, as if her eyes had been gouged out and she was plunged into endless darkness...
