Chapter 59 Field Survey

I don't care about Julian's sudden disappearance, and I know everything I should know. I already understand what Julian means, that is, he doesn't know anything about the magic circle, but he has participated in some of the construction work. I guess most of the individuals of the Russian gods may be similar to Julian. Most of them participated in the construction of the magic circle, but they didn't know what they were building. If you want to know the details of the magic circle, it is probably impossible to ask something by just grabbing the tongue. After all, there are too few individuals of the gods who know the specific situation, and we may not be able to find it. Besides, if you find it, you may not be able to beat others. This is the secret of the Russian gods, and those who can know the inside story must be core members, and none of the core members of the gods are easy to deal with, so I didn't expect to catch the gods who know the inside story. The only way left is to investigate it yourself.

"We're back to Hope City now."

"Go back to Hope City?" Ling was stunned for a moment, and then understood what I meant. Since we could not investigate the situation from the Russian gods, we had to investigate the magic circle itself.

After confirming the target, we quickly returned to the location of Hope City. Seeing me suddenly back, Celia and his father seemed quite surprised, but then she looked at me with some resentment and said, "Mr. Zi Ri, why did you send him here?"

I don't have to look at it, I know that Celia is talking about Solo, but now I don't have time to pay attention to her personal problems. "Don't make trouble first, I have something to do with your father."

When the fat city lord heard that I was looking for him, he immediately ran over and asked, "Is there anything you have to do with me? As long as I can help, I will do my best."

I nodded and said, "Do you know what underground projects are available in Hope City?"

"Underground project?" The city lord was stunned by my question, and then asked tentatively: "Are you talking about a building built under the ground or a secret project that is unknown to others?"

"It means literally, a construction project built underground."

"Oh, if you talk about underground buildings, there will be more." The city lord said in a dilemma: "Most of the residential houses in this city have basements, and rich families will even dig out many underground structures, such as the city lord and there are dungeons in the underworld. In short, there are a lot of them. I wonder which news do you want to know?"

I shook my head and said, "It's not that kind of small underground building, but a very large underground building, which may have exceeded the entire Hope City. And I estimate that the main body of the building will be very deep, far exceeding the underground building used by normal residents."

"What? It's bigger than a city?" The fat city lord was stunned at first, then seemed to suddenly realize something, and then approached me carefully and asked, "Do you have a way to create an isolated area for exploration?"

Ling, who had been following me, bounced his finger without waiting for my answer, and a translucent light cover enveloped the three of us. The surrounding ambient noise disappeared instantly. Then Ling spoke and explained: "This is a silence protection ring, which can isolate sounds and various detection techniques to detect."

After seeing this thing, the fat city lord said: "If it is an ordinary underground building, there are not a hundred or fifty in the city, but if the area exceeds Hope City... I don't know anything like that, but if there is really that kind of thing in Hope City, then only one force can be built."

I nodded and asked, "So where is the temple here? Which gods are there in charge?"

"There is no temple in the city of Hope, only a sacrificial ground. There are no gods inside, only a dozen temple guards and a few ordinary priests. However, their priests have good strength, of course, they are incomparable to the gods."

"Where is that sacrificial ground?"

"I'll let Celia take you there."

"Can."

Although Celia was very dissatisfied with me for putting Solo back, she did not dare to make trouble with me in the main business. After her father gave her instructions, she quickly took me to the corner of the street near the sacrificial ground, and then pointed the location of the sacrificial ground to me.

"That's the sacrificial ground, with the guards and the priests in it."

I nodded and said, "Okay, you can leave first, you won't be able to help with the following things."

After Celia left, I prepared carefully before walking towards the sacrificial ground. Although the city lord said before that there were only a group of ordinary people guarding and a few priests, if this was really the entrance to the underground building, I would not believe that there would be no guards of the gods below. So the group of people outside were just to cover up their eyes and try to avoid them. What I really have to worry about should be those hiding in the dark.

The exterior of the sacrificial ground in front of me is actually no different from the temple. The reason why it is not called a temple is just because there are no gods here, and the building area is slightly smaller, and it feels like the proportion of regular temples has been reduced.

When I walked into the gate of the temple, the guards in the temple were all stunned. The incident of my attack on the temple of war and the gathering points of the Russian gods was obviously not spreading. When the guards saw me, they first reacted to me as Soro, but then they noticed the incomparable powerful magic power on the dragon armor. Such things were obviously not something Soro could counterfeit, so there was only one person who could wear such a dress.

"Zi Ri?" The guard screamed in surprise, then formed a defensive formation with the others in panic and retreated while yelling in the door: "Master Priest, the demon Zi Ri is here!"

"Devil?" I looked at the guard and said with a funny look: "Don't belittle me, okay? Do you think the devil is as powerful as me?"

The guards at the scene of my joke were obviously not in the mood to answer with me, but were just careful to prevent me from suddenly attacking. Seeing their careful appearance, I didn't really think they were afraid, but no matter how they performed, I must find out the truth about this place, so I didn't care whether they were blocking the door or not, and still walked forward on my own.

When I saw me walking towards them, the guards on the scene began to retreat nervously. Although they formed a line of defense, they knew that my strength was not something they could block, so they could only keep their formation and retreat in order to try their best to restrain me. Perhaps because the area of ​​the sacrificial ground was really not large, I walked into the gate and saw a group of guys wearing priest robes running in through the back door. Among them, the one running in front was a slim old man who looked at at least eighty years old. He was wearing a white priest robe with gold embroidered on his white priest robe, and a red belt hanging around his neck. Both ends were hanging on his shoulders and drooping down to his feet, looking very majestic.

After seeing me, the old man obviously slowed down his speed, but the magic fluctuations on his body showed that his emotions were in a high state of tension. After walking to the team of guards, the old man waved his hand to signal the guard to give way, and then he looked at me and said, "I wonder why President Zi Ri had time to come to our small sacrificial ground?"

Seeing the old man's calm expression and his extremely active magic fluctuations, I almost didn't laugh. "Oh, don't be so nervous! Your magic is almost lit up the air. Are you not afraid of causing a fire?"

When the old man heard what I said, his face turned red, but he still asked firmly: "What are you here for?"

"Hahahaha, I won't tease you anymore." I smiled and suddenly smiled and said, "We should not play the puzzle anymore. Let's just talk about the topic. I know that there is some kind of underground building under your sacrificial ground, and I want to go down and take a look. You should be very clear about my strength, so if you are smart, don't resist. Let me tell me where the entrance is, and then leave immediately. Of course, you can also choose to resist stubbornly, but I must tell you first that the result of choosing this option will lead to a complete death that cannot be expected to be resurrected. Are you sure you want this option? Or do you want to cooperate with me?"

When the old man heard what I said, his whole body trembled. Although he didn't say it, I could tell from his reaction that I was not going to the wrong place. This should be the location of the entrance, and the old man must know the existence of this entrance.

"Have you thought about which one to choose?" Seeing that the old man didn't react for a long time, I asked again. If it was normal, the old man could still fight me carelessly. Unfortunately, I asked too directly. He didn't even have the chance to interrupt, so he could only get stuck there and answer it or not. Although he felt very embarrassed, I didn't plan to sympathize with him. "You should make a decision quickly. Now I will count three times. If you don't respond, I will go in by myself." After I said that, I counted myself without waiting for the old man to answer.

The old man was so anxious when he saw me counting it, but the three numbers were just a few, and I counted quickly, almost in less than three seconds. I saw that he had no reaction and walked forward. When the old man saw me moving, he immediately retreated behind the guard, and then raised his hand and said, "Stop, although this place is not a temple, it is also a territory of the gods, and no outsiders are allowed to trespass."

"Oh? Then what do you mean is to choose to resist stubbornly?" I said and took Eternal from the back of my hand. Eternal, which turned into a spherical shape, immediately melted and stretched into a sword shape. "Since that's the case, then go to die." Before the old man spoke again, I suddenly took a step forward and stepped on the ground like a spider-web-like crack. Following the Eternal Sword, a red sword light shot out and instantly passed through the crowd in front of me.

Except for the old man who held up a protective cover in time, the others were swept by the sword light without even reacting, but there was no change in the end because of the shield that the old man held up. As the sword light flashed, the crowd in front suddenly became shorter, and all the people swept by the sword light fell to the ground like harvested wheat, and everyone's wounds were almost a neat section passing by, including the old man.

I didn't show any excitement when I knocked down most of the enemies in the sacrificial ground with one move. I knew before that the people here were just a cover-up. The real enemies were all in the building below, which was the most dangerous place. Although I didn't kill all the people here just now, the rest were completely scared, and no one responded until I stepped on the bodies of those people.

After passing through the hall in front, which is only slightly larger than the ordinary street shop, there is a small garden. I said before that the structure of the sacrificial ground is like a reduced-type temple, and the overall structure is almost exactly the same. Behind the garden is a small building. If it is a temple, it should be a library and a place where the gods live. However, this is a sacrificial ground, and there is no gods live, so this is the place where the priests and guards live.

After entering this building, I first observed the structure of the building. The small building is not large in size, and you can see the whole picture at a glance. There are two large rooms on both sides of the hall on the first floor, which are the residences of the priests and guards. These people have too low status, and even if there is an authentic entrance here, it is impossible to build a place with many eyes. Opposite the door is the staircase leading to the second floor, with only the room and database of the main priests on it, so there is no need to look at it. On both sides of the stairs are two rooms, one is the office of the main priests, and the other is the office of other priests. Don’t think about it, if there is an authentic tunnel here, then the most likely one is the main priest’s room.

I kicked open the door of the main priest room and walked in. This room is quite large. After all, a quarter of the entire floor of the building except for the aisles and stairs were occupied by it. Apart from some simple office furniture, there is only a wall made of huge bookshelf in the room, which is more eye-catching.

After walking to the bookshelf, I summoned Ling out. As soon as Ling saw the bookshelf, he walked over and wiped it with his hands on the bookshelf. Then he immediately walked to a piece of bookshelf and said, "The door is right behind this."

"Why are you so sure?" I asked curiously.

Ling asked back: "Do you think it is necessary to protect the basic magical teaching materials with powerful protective magic? Moreover, there is a very complex counterattack array connected behind it."

"There is no silver here!" I said, and walked up to pull the bookshelf in front and threw it aside. The wall behind looked no different from the ordinary wall, but if you look closely, you will find that there was an inconspicuous gap on the edge of the wall that just formed the shape of a door. "It seems that this is the entrance, but what should I do with this defense array?"

Ling thought for a while and said, "There are three methods. One is to use the Eternal Sword to cut the door directly. Anyway, the magic array is based on the stone slab on the door. As long as the door is destroyed, the magic array will naturally be useless. The second method is to let me break the magic array, but this takes time, and I guess it will take at least one day. The third method is to find someone who can open the door. Since there is a door here, it must be for people to enter and exit. The Russian gods will not be stupid enough to seal themselves outside, so they must know how to open the defense technique."
