Chapter 2 What the Hell Is It After Climbing Out of the Coffin

As the heavy stone door slowly closed under the impetus of the ancient spell, the power of magic traveled along the walls and the grooves on the ground, forming a closed energy cycle, and the nightmarish world outside seemed to be completely isolated. .

I could not hear the roar of the captain of the guard, nor the screams of the wounded and dying, nor the roars and roars of those terrifying monsters. All sounds were blocked by heavy and thick stones and steel, even though everyone was Knowing that this barrier is only temporary, but in this moment of tranquility, Rebecca couldn't help but let out a long breath - it would be great if the hell outside was really just a nightmare.

However, in the next second, Rebecca shook her hair vigorously, putting aside all the weak thoughts that appeared in her mind. Heavy rock and steel can't bring true long-term security, but may weaken her will and allow her to indulge in this fleeting illusion of security. Thinking of this, the young heir of the Cecil family couldn't help clenching the already dim staff in his hand, hoping that this weapon would bring him more courage.

The voice of the family knight Byron Kirk came from behind: "Lord Viscount, the passage has been sealed, and those monsters should not be able to enter in a short time."

Rebecca looked back at the loyal and loyal knight. The steel armor of the other party was covered with scars, and there was a small depression on the breastplate. On his short gray-white hair, an obvious patch could be seen. The scorch marks—that were burned by Aunt Hetty with a large fireball in order to save the knight from a monster. The situation at that time was really thrilling, and the fireball almost burst against the scalp of the middle-level knight. If it weren't for the blessing of the god of luck, this knight who has been loyal to the family for 20 years may have turned into a corpse.

Of course, Rebecca wasn't sure if this was because Aunt Hetty's well-known "magic never hits people" physique was working...

"It's hard work, Knight Byron," Rebecca lowered her eyelids to hide the tiredness in her eyes, "We can at least catch our breath."

Then she turned her head and looked at the few remaining people around her: three soldiers were holding torches to warn the surrounding, Aunt Hetty was holding a burning fireball in her hand and carefully looking at the wall at the end of the stone hall, and the one who followed in confusion The little maid Betty clenched the frying pan that she had taken all the way, and hid behind the soldiers timidly, looking at the place curiously with a pair of big flickering eyes.

Counting herself and Knight Byron, these seven people are probably the last survivors right now - those who stay on the surface are unlikely to survive.

After confirming everyone's condition, Rebecca couldn't help but look at the situation in this stone hall.

This is an ancient place. Cobwebs and thick dust can be seen everywhere in the rectangular stone hall. Some decaying objects are stacked at one end of the hall. Although they are old, they can still be seen in their former beauty. with luxury. On the walls around the stone hall, you can also see well-preserved frescoes and reliefs. Although the frescoes have faded and the reliefs are slightly worn, they still do not interfere with viewing.

Hetty Cecil studied the frescoes and reliefs for a long time. Compared with the frivolous and frivolous styles that emerged in modern times and originated from the northern countries, all the decorations in this stone hall are solemn and simple, with an obvious "first dynasty" atmosphere, and the murals are used to depict hero images or terroir. Human feelings and reliefs are inscribed with scenes that are biased towards myths and legends and abstract symbols of gods, and as a learned spellcaster, Hetty is very good at deciphering useful things from these ancient pictures.

Looking at the contents of the frescoes and reliefs, Heidi couldn't help but put her left hand on her chest and whispered, "May the ancestors forgive..."

"Aunt Hetty," Rebecca came to Hetty with the staff, the young girl's face was a little nervous, and it was only now that she seemed to finally realize what kind of place she had stepped into.

And a little uneasy, "Here..."

"This is the place where the ancestors of the Cecil family slept," Heidi said seriously, "Don't do anything rude."

Rebecca swallowed and looked around: "It seems that no one has come in for a long time..."

"Since Marquis Grumman took the holy relic from the ancestral tomb without authorization and participated in the rebellion that almost led to the destruction of the family a hundred years ago, this place has been completely blocked, and the descendants of the Cecil family know that the opening The method here, but due to family orders, no one dares to enter without authorization unless it is a matter of life and death," Hetty gave Rebecca a deep look, "In a hundred years, we are the first batch of people to set foot here. "

"It is indeed the 'life and death' moment..." Rebecca took a deep breath, "The ancestor will forgive us, right?"

Heidi smiled stiffly, she couldn't answer this question, she had to follow the instructions on the mural to continue to find the mechanism to open the deep tomb.

Without much effort, she found the special stone pillar, then put her hand on the top of the stone pillar and pressed it down slightly.

The stone door leading to the deep tomb immediately shook slightly, and then the whole stone slab slowly rose up with the sound of friction.

But at the moment when the stone door rose, Rebecca heard a strange sound from behind the stone door—a sound of objects falling to the ground came from behind the door, followed by an uncontrollable exclamation. .

"There's someone inside?!" Heidi also reacted immediately, shouting in a low voice, "Byron!"

Without waiting for more orders, the knight already clenched his long sword and rushed in the direction of Shimen, followed by the other three warriors. Without looking back, he ordered the confused little maid: "Betty! Find a place to hide!"

Just after rushing into the tomb, Rebecca saw the Byron knight who had rushed in before slashing at an agile petite figure with his sword.

That petite figure dashed around the Knights of Byron like a gust of wind, and from time to time turned into a cloud of black smoke and escaped into the ubiquitous shadow area of ​​the tomb. She manipulated the power of shadows and the agility of footwork to make Rebe. Ka's eyes widened - I don't usually see a few stalkers who can entangle with Knight Byron for so long. However, as the remaining three soldiers completed the encirclement, and Heidi, who was wrapped in flames in his hands, blocked the door of the tomb, the agile figure completely lost the space to escape, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

When she stopped, Rebecca saw the intruder's face clearly - it was a girl who looked about the same size as herself, but was shorter than herself. She was wearing an old leather armor and had short ear-length hair. She has a beautiful appearance, and although there are many stains on her face, it can still be seen that she is a beautiful woman. The most striking thing is the other's ears, which are pointed, but not as long as the elf, which is enough to explain her bloodline: a half-blood elf.

But it is impossible to judge what her other half bloodline is. After all, the bloodline of elves is so powerful, basically, the racial characteristics of human beings, orcs and elves after mixing blood are similar.

As soon as the half-blood elf girl landed, the knight Byron stepped forward and put his long sword on the opponent's neck. The remaining three soldiers immediately surrounded him, and the three sharp swords blocked all the opponent's escape routes.

"Who are you! How dare you break into the Cecil family's ancestral mausoleum?!" Heidi strode forward with uncontrollable anger in her tone. For a descendant of a noble like her, the ancestral mausoleum was robbed. The fact that the thief patronized her was enough to make her furious—if it got out, the Cecil family's crumbling reputation would probably be over.

Rebecca also stared at the half-blooded elf-although this unexpected incident made her a little confused, but the appearance of an outsider in the ancestral tomb, which was a forbidden place, made her angry enough.

The half-elf girl was pressed by the long sword and stared at by Heidi and Rebecca, and her voice suddenly trembled: "Wait...wait a minute! I haven't stolen anything yet!"

The long sword in Byron's hand suddenly pressed down again: "You are so brave!"

As soon as the knight's voice fell, he heard a strange sound of Karakara suddenly coming from the black steel coffin in the center of the tomb. This strange sound immediately spread to everyone's ears, including Rebecca. Son quiet down.

After a while, Rebecca was the first to react. A fist-sized fireball appeared from the top of her staff, pointing at the half-blooded elf who was half-kneeling on the ground: "What did you do to our ancestors?!"

The half-elf girl was really about to cry this time: "Don't... don't kill me first! Compared to this coffin board of your ancestors, it can't be held back!"

With the crying voice of the half-elf girl, the sound in the black steel coffin became louder and louder, and even the coffin lid vibrated visibly.

"Ancestor!" Heidi's face suddenly turned pale. This was the first time this lady, who was always known for her dignified elegance in the aristocratic circle, was so rude, "Please rest in peace! Those who disturb you will be punished..."

The half-elf girl screamed: "What's the use of nonsense at this time! Hurry up and press down the coffin board of your ancestors!"

The three soldiers looked at each other, and even Byron was confused, but at this time Rebecca reacted, and she rushed to the platform where the coffin was placed. At the same time, the lid of the coffin had been completely pushed. Open, a hand also came out from the gap.

Seeing this, Rebecca picked up the staff and slammed it down without saying a word: "Master Ancestor! Rest in peace!!"

The hand was directly smashed back into the coffin on the spot, and at the same time there was a painful cry from the coffin: "Who the hell hit my hand!"

Rebecca raised her head blankly, and saw her family knight, aunt, and three warriors all staring at him dumbfounded.

Rebecca looked down at the staff in her hand, and this time it was her turn to cry: "Aunt, am I a little disrespectful to the ancestors..."

However, Heidi suddenly shouted: "Rebecca! Get out of there!"

Rebecca was stunned: "Aunt?"

"This may be the resurrection of the undead!" Heidi's face was pale, "Perhaps the monsters on the surface... corrupted the ancestors' sacred bones!"

This possibility immediately made Rebecca sweat cold, and just as she was about to jump off the platform to hide behind the soldiers, the heavy cover of the black steel coffin was pushed up again—and this time the people in the coffin were pushed up again. With all his strength, the entire coffin lid was directly pushed out!

Afterwards, a man with short light brown hair, a dignified face, and an ancient aristocratic costume sat up from inside.

The half-blooded elf girl who was half-kneeling turned her head to see this scene, and couldn't help sighing: "Look, your ancestors have completely deceived the corpse this time."
