The Sun King's Evidence

Everyone took out their weapons. Weasley, the director of Luigi's Chamber of Commerce, subconsciously pulled out the scimitar on his waist, and the accompanying guide took off the shield from his back.

But before everyone could take out their weapons, the paladin Alfred rushed in front of everyone. He raised the paladin standard sword in his hand and shouted angrily.

"Holy Light Technique!"

The strong white-golden glow carries powerful sacred energy and shoots towards the black group of vampire bats. Those vampire bats with blood-red eyes are like melting and turning into ashes when the glow hits their bodies. Other vampire bats They fled in all directions and soon disappeared.

"What a powerful Holy Light spell." Weasley sighed and put away his weapon.

"Mr. Paladin, can you tell me first when you are planning to do this next time? I was almost blinded by the flash." Estelle complained dissatisfied.

"I don't want this either, Mr. Estelle, but these vampire bats are very smart. They will remember our presence after being counterattacked, and they will not attack us again because they are afraid of death." Alfred There was a serious look on his face: "We are here to check for abnormalities, not to spend time with these vampire bats."

"Well, I don't like teaming up with paladins." Estelle muttered, reluctantly agreeing with Alfred's point of view.

"Are there always vampire bats in the mine?" Ryan noticed something unusual. Normally, there shouldn't be so many vampire bats in a mine.

"Of course there won't be so many when there are miners, but we have stopped mining this vein for nearly three months. Maybe these damn beasts thought that humans were gone, so they popped up again?" Weasley was also a little bit Not sure, he made a guess.

This guess was quite reasonable, so Ryan continued to move deeper without asking any more questions.

The passage in Mine No. 1 is very long. Ryan is holding the war hammer in one hand, and in his right hand is a light blue psychic blade shining brightly. Relying on the shimmer of the psychic blade, Ryan found that many rock walls are very strange. Humid, the surface is covered with ice: "Is there a groundwater leak here?"

"Yes, Mr. Lane, there is groundwater leakage here." Weasley nodded and pointed to the top of the rock wall: "When Viscount Casanova sold us this vein, he clearly told us that there was groundwater here. Leakage, this is one of the reasons why he gave us this vein at a cheap price."

"In order to prevent groundwater from flooding the mine, we have reinforced many places." Weasley pointed to many places with seepage: "Although there will be a small amount of leakage in a few places, it does not affect mining. The only problem is that the mining cost is high. ascended.”

"Yeah." So several people continued to move deeper into the No. 1 mine.

Noticing that the candle light was used up very quickly, Ryan sighed in his heart. It would be great if Veronica was here. The torch she made has strong firepower, a wide lighting range, and a long duration. This kind of scummy candle light cannot be seen. No matter how far away it is, it is used very quickly.

As they went deeper, the road became narrower, and the ground and rock walls became slippery. Weasley wiped off the broken ice on his head, pointed to the bend in front, and whispered: "That's the end of Mine No. 1. , there is an underground lake at the end of Mine No. 1... What's wrong, Mr. Lane?"

"Wait...I seem to hear something." Ryan motioned for a few people to be quiet.

"Rustling~Kakaka~" There were bursts of weird noises coming from the corner at the end.

Everyone who knew what was going on took out their weapons and got ready to fight.

The half-elf leaned out from around the corner, seeing things in the darkness as if it were daylight.

After he saw clearly what happened, Estelle's eyes widened instantly.

mouse! What a big rat!

Several rats that are taller than humans are gathering on the ice of the frozen underground lake, munching on something. They have blood-red eyes, huge bodies, and sharp claws, Estelle. It was unclear what they were gnawing on, but the bones and flesh that kept flying out showed that it must be something alive.

The half-elf turned around and whispered: "It's a rat, a big rat."

"Is it a Skaven?" Ryan asked softly.

"It doesn't look like... just like an ordinary rat." The half-elf was experienced, and he immediately recognized that those were not the notorious Skaven, they were just ordinary mutant rats.

"Then kill them!" Several people nodded and prepared to fight. The light blue psychic flame in Ryan's hand kept burning. He found a correct position and stretched out his hand towards the eating rats. Right hand.

Psychic storm!

Light blue lightning struck the rats that were feasting. They were in great pain under the burning of the lightning. Two of the rats that were attacked were killed by the psychic storm on the spot, while the rest reacted quickly and avoided the light. Blue lightning rushed towards the exploration team.

Estelle bent her bow and nocked an arrow at an extremely fast speed.

"Whoops!" The first feather arrow hit the big rat's left eye. It rolled to the ground and immediately lost its breath.

The second feather arrow hit the half-elf's long bow. Now the cunning rat knew how to dodge. They immediately dispersed. One of them rushed directly towards Alfred, and the other two headed towards Ryan. The place is approaching very quickly.

"Hoo!" Alfred held up the square shield and hit Shuoshu on the head hard. Shuosu tried his best to avoid it but was still hit by the huge paladin's square shield. Shuosu's face was beaten with blood by the paladin.

"Phew!" Estelle took advantage of the moment when the big rat was knocked unconscious and shot another arrow directly in the face. The big rat fell to the ground and immediately stopped moving.

On the other side, two giant rats rushed towards Ryan. Ryan picked up the gryphon war hammer and hit one of the rats in the head with one hammer. The other rat was deeply troubled when he saw this, and the cunning creature immediately turned around and ran away. .

"Kill it!" Several people wanted to chase it, but the ice surface of the underground lake was very slippery, so Weasley hurriedly said towards the half-elf.

"You don't need to say more!" Estelle replied impatiently. The half-elf bent his bow and nocked an arrow. He squinted his eyes and directly calculated the distance. Then he raised his long bow and fired an arrow directly towards a high place. .

How does this half-elf shoot an arrow? Weasley, the director of the Chamber of Commerce, frowned, but what happened next made his eyes widen.

Shuoshu slid across the ice at an extremely fast speed. When it slid to the edge of the ice and jumped on the ground to escape, the arrows in the air changed direction, fell, and then penetrated Shuoshu's Tianling Cap, bringing Its final judgment.

This is a projectile. Ryan nodded approvingly: "You are worthy of being a citizen of the forest for being able to calculate the distance so accurately."

"Everyone in the forest can shoot. It's just a trivial skill." Estelle didn't care about this compliment. Several people couldn't answer. Only Ryan shrugged: "Okay, okay, it's a trivial skill too." Skill, let’s see what they’re eating.”

Several people carefully came to the ice together and looked at the corpses that were eaten by several giant rats.

"This is... a kobold?" Relying on the weak candlelight and the light in Ryan's hand, several people discovered that this was the body of a kobold. The kobold had been eaten beyond recognition.

"Are there any kobolds in the mine?" Ryan asked Weasley.

Kobolds are nasty creatures that like to live in damp underground environments. They are also excellent miners and treacherous slave traders.

Weasley motioned to the guide to answer, and the guide answered without hesitation: "Yes, since we started digging this vein, kobolds have never stopped appearing, but they are generally more afraid of people. After clearing them out several times, , as long as humans appear, they will take the initiative to avoid them."

The muscles on Ryan's face twitched, and he thought that there was a reason for everything and the strangeness.

So why did the miners go crazy?

"Do you drink the groundwater here directly?" Looking at the thick ice layer of the underground lake, Ryan thought of another explanation.

"No, it has happened before. Since some miners went crazy, we also thought it might be a water problem, so we asked the miners to bring their own water." The guide still shook his head.

"...Okay, in short, it seems that there is nothing left in Mine No. 1." Ryan found that the ice lake was at the end, and there was no way forward, only some rat holes dug by rats, and black paint Above the painted rock wall: "Let's go to the next mine!"

“The place where everything begins is also the place where it all ends.”

"What?" Ryan frowned and turned around to ask Estelle: "Estelle? When did you also learn these blabbering prophecies?"

"Hey! Ryan, what are you talking about? I didn't say anything." Estelle looked at Ryan strangely: "What prophecy?"

"Huh? Didn't you speak?" Ryan felt strange now.

"I really didn't speak." Estelle was a little dissatisfied: "We didn't speak. Are you hallucinating?"

"Yes, good friend, no one of us spoke just now." Alfred also came out to testify.

Several people looked at me and I looked at you, and they immediately realized something was wrong. Ryan immediately asked: "Wait! Mr. Weasley, you said before that many miners can hear deep and muddy sounds?"

"Yes...yes, you heard it too, Mr. Lane?" Weasley's eyes lit up, and asking Lane to investigate proved to be effective.

"Do any miners recognize what this voice is saying?" Ryan's brows furrowed tighter and he asked in a deep voice.

"No, they said it was an unintelligible language." The director of the Chamber of Commerce said helplessly: "We once wanted the miners to record these languages ​​​​and go to linguists, but each miner described it differently. .”

"..." Ryan already had an answer in his mind, and he motioned for everyone to explore the No. 2 mine together.

Mine No. 2 is generally similar to Mine No. 1, but the content of mithril ore in this mine is purer and the road is narrower. In some places, everyone has to crawl forward. The humid underground environment makes people very uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable, and as they went underground for a long time without being able to see the sun, everyone's concept of time gradually became blurred. Some people felt that three or four hours had passed since they entered the underground, and some felt that most of the day had passed.

The dome of the No. 2 mine is even higher. It’s hard to imagine that the top of the cave’s rock formations is fifty or sixty meters above the ground. Several people cautiously moved toward the depths of the mine. A light blue stick stretched out from Ryan’s right wrist. The spiritual blades of the people were lighting up the way forward, while the few people behind were holding candles in their hands and inspecting the rock wall.

As a few people continued to move forward, the road became narrower and narrower, almost only suitable for one person to pass. The rock walls on both sides of the road continued to press towards everyone, accompanied by strong psychological pressure, darkness, and depression. It was humid, but Ryan and the others were okay. The guide and Weasley who came with a few people were a little overwhelmed. The director of the chamber of commerce cleared his throat: "Ahem, Mr. Ryan, we have been in the mine for a long time. Why don't you go up and take a rest first? Come down again tomorrow?"

Ryan thought for a moment and shook his head: "After checking the No. 2 mine, if there is nothing wrong, then we will go back to the surface first."

"OK."

After a few people walked for a while, the half-elf Estelle felt water dripping on his face, so he looked towards the dome and found that something seemed to be shaking constantly at the highest point of the dome: "Ryan? There seems to be something on top."

"What is that? Estelle, can you see it clearly?"

"It seems... something is hanging, swinging around." Estelle observed it for a while, but still couldn't determine what it was: "I'm sorry, Ryan, my dark vision is not as good as that of real fellow wood elves. , the distance is too far, I can’t see clearly.”

"Where is it?" Ryan and others raised their heads together, but they could only see darkness: "Is it something hanging? Can you shoot it down?"

"It should be possible, let me try!" The half-elf bent his bow and set an arrow. Seeing this, several people got out of the way and waited for the result.

"Whoops~" The first feather arrow shot up into the sky and disappeared into the depths of darkness.

After waiting for ten seconds, there was no response, so Estelle took out another arrow: "This one will definitely hit!"

Sure enough, five seconds later, there was the sound of a sharp weapon scraping against a hard object: "Hit!"

There was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Something very heavy landed about fifty meters in front of everyone. The noise was beyond the normal level. Ryan and others hurried to the front.

It was a skeleton, a human skeleton, covered in dust and cobwebs.

"What is this? Someone died here?"

"This is nothing surprising. Where are there no bodies in the underground tunnels?"

"He seems a little different. This corpse should have been dead for a long time. You see, there is no flesh on the bones, so many years have passed since this person died."

Ryan, Estelle and Alfred were all discussing, and the appearance of the skeleton made the three of them puzzled.

"After a normal person dies, if it is exposed in the open air and under normal temperature and environment, it usually takes about a year and a half for the corpse to turn into a skeleton." Ryan touched his chin: "In this underground and cold environment, the corpse needs to be replaced more frequently. Long time.”

"In this underground environment, it will take at least several years." Estelle said, turning the corpse over. The skeleton was unusually tall, about two meters tall, and had completely turned into a skeleton. Many The bones have been damaged and only the general outline can be seen.

"Wait, this is..." Ryan noticed something different about the skeleton, and he immediately reached out and opened the skeleton's teeth.

Under the illumination of candle light, everyone noticed that the skeleton's teeth were different from those of normal people, and his teeth were sharper.

Just like, wolf teeth.

Ryan's eyes opened wider and wider, and he opened his mouth wide. The Primarch subconsciously took out a silver wolf head pendant from his body. In full view of everyone, the silver wolf head pendant shimmered in waves.

"Impossible!" Ryan was shocked: "Impossible! This is impossible!"
