Chapter 67 The Lost Palace
The brilliance of magic illuminates the originally dark space.
But what was presented to the two was something they had never imagined.[]
It was a ruin.
At a glance, the underground hole is as big as a square, and in the center of it stands a gorgeous palace. Around the palace, a lake formed by the deep and dark groundwater surrounds it, guarding the palace like a moat. The only passage to the outside is where the staircase extends at the feet of Rhodes and Marlene.
"Where is this place?"
Marlene looked at the palace blankly, not knowing what to say. Rhodes was in a slightly better condition. After all, he had seen a more glorious ruin than this, but at this moment he was silent, thinking in his heart what the origin of this strange ruin was.
Although both of these two people are knowledgeable at some level, they are not omniscient and omnipotent after all. Rhodes's knowledge is mainly focused on the game information that is useful to players. Although Marin is a mage, her first priority is to learn magic rather than archaeological research, so she does not have much thoughts about this situation. If there is a scholar here, they might be able to figure out where they are, but now they can only rely on their own knowledge and experience to guess and deceive.
"Do you have any clues?"
Rhode had calmed down at this moment. He made a gesture, indicating that the poor "Kamikaze Dog" would jump off the stairs again to do mine-sweeping work, while he followed slowly behind him, squinted his eyes and carefully observed everything in front of him.
The entire palace gives people a very brilliant, gorgeous and atmospheric feeling. The exquisitely carved stone pillars stand tall and look no trace of damage at all. The magical ball of light slowly floats and falls in the hollow. Under its light, the shadow of the palace slowly moves on the ground. The white ground, the white ceiling, the pitch-black shadow, and the combination of black and white gives people a fresh beauty.
There are no corpses, no furniture, and no weapons.
The hollowness was Rhodes’ first impression after coming to this palace.
On the surface, the ruins are quite complete and have no traces of damage. But strangely, in this palace, there are no other things except those stone steps, pillars, carvings and statues. It is like a person decorating a house, only laying wallpaper and floors, and forgetting everything such as home appliances and decorations.
In the game, there are not a thousand or eight hundred ruins that Rhodes have seen. Although they are different, the broken weapons, armor, and rotten furniture at least indicate that there have been people there. But this ghost place is completely different, dead, as if the entire space and building are dead. Even the underground lakes surrounding both sides seem to be flowing, but they cannot hear the sound of half a thread of water flowing.
Even the sound of footsteps became extremely small, and before they even came out of nowhere, they were completely swallowed by the darkness.
“What a strange place.”
Rhode put down the sword in his hand and walked to the stone pillar to carefully observe the complex words and patterns on it. Unfortunately, he didn't see anything. Marin, who had been following Rhode, also observed the patterns on it, but unlike Rhode, Marin had gained something.
"I think this should be the building at the end of the Kingdom of Fasicar, Mr. Rhode."
The Kingdom of Fasicar is a mysterious country at the beginning of its creation. Although it was considered a big country at that time, it disappeared for no reason. Even in historical records, there are very few explanations for this country. If you only look at it this way, then anyone would think that this is just an unknown small country.
But what's strange is that the shadows in this country die like ghosts. No matter where the continent is, their remains and the remaining civilizations can be found. Not only in the Kingdom of Light, where the Dragon Soul of Light is located, but even in the Kingdom of Night and Fa, the remains of this country have been unearthed. If this is seen by unknown people, they would think that this is an extremely powerful country that once ruled the entire continent.
But no matter which country it is, there is no record of this country at all. Even the name Fasicar was discovered in the dragon grammar of an ancient era.
It is also a state of being able to survive in such an unknown state.
"But this ghost place seems to have nothing."
With the help of the brilliance of magic, Rhodes could clearly see the end of the palace, where there were no treasure chests, no long swords, and only a lonely stone altar—not to mention, it looked very pitiful.
Apart from this, there were only those swordsmen sculptures leaning against pillars. They were all wearing heavy armor, holding up their swords with their hands high, pointing them diagonally towards the sky. When they suddenly looked, they seemed to be welcoming guests, but also to be demonstrating.
"Since there is nothing, let's leave."
Although it was not Rhode's personality to go to the treasure mountain and return empty-handed, this place was so weird that it made Rhode feel inexplicably panicked. If he changed to the game, he would die once. At worst, he would run away from the corpse and come back again. But now he didn't dare to take this risk. Since there was no gold or treasure in front of him, it would be better to retreat decisively.
Marin was a little dissatisfied with Rhode's care, but since she had already said she wanted to obey Rhode's orders, she had to keep silent. After sighing helplessly, Marin stood up and then planned to turn and leave. But at this moment, the little squirrel suddenly appeared from the darkness, made a squeak and ran to Marin's side quickly, then grabbed her robe and climbed up. Then, Marin's expression changed slightly.
"Mr. Rod, they are here!"
Your sister!
Hearing this news, Rhodes did not change at all, but he cursed in his heart and gritted his teeth. He also guessed that the group of spies would follow. Moreover, this ghost place is deep underground. If they die here, no one would find their existence. This can be regarded as a perfect assassination place for those spies. If they don’t want to do it here, it may not be just an IQ issue. But to be honest, the time is definitely not good now. If everything goes according to Rhodes’ expectations, then there is no problem. But now there is a ruin and ruin that is not Rhodes expected...
Rhode looked around. There seemed to be no other exit around. The places he walked along were safe, but only geniuses knew about those places that had not been explored. It took only half an hour for him to arrive at the cave. The group of spies could not be slower than them. Although they were also prepared, but...
"Miss Marlene."
Thinking of this, Rhode made up his mind. He pulled Marlene's hand and whispered to the surprised girl.
"I have a plan that requires your cooperation..."
Shadows swept through the darkness.
People in black flew quietly like ghosts. They looked at each other silently, made gestures, adjusted their direction and movements, and conveyed orders to their companions.
The goal is ahead.
It's coming soon.
Have arrived at the destination... Be careful and ready to take action.
The spies sneaked into the cave.
The incomparable underground beauty made Marlin sigh that these spies did not feel the same way. They did not have the leisure to appreciate the magical creations of nature. They looked at the dim holes with vigilance, holding daggers and short swords in their hands, and carefully leaning against the wall, hiding in the shadows and moving forward.
However, they found nothing.
In the huge void, there was nothing but a broken box that was opened and a pile of broken iron weapons.
There is no other outlet here. Did they grow wings and fly?
Of course this is impossible, because soon, the spies found the secret door opened on the stone wall. In searching for such things, they were much more professional than the blind cat who met the dead rat. Moreover, they did not have as many concerns as Rhodes. Anyway, as spies, they faced death more.
However, these spies were still careful. They left two people to guard the outside, and then the other three people quietly slipped into the secret passage to find the whereabouts of their targets.
These guys look a bit tricky.
Rhode, who was also lurking in the dark, felt slightly sank after seeing the actions of the spies. He was not worried that he would be discovered by the enemy. In the game, as the summoned swordsman and the president of the guild, Rhode had not been assassinated by those thieves and killers. If he had not even had this correspondence, he would have died thousands or hundreds of times. To be on the safe side, Rhode also put on the "Shadow Messenger". This magic item was indeed well-known. After it was activated, Rhode's body immediately appeared on his body. Even if others observed it carefully, it would be difficult to notice that someone was standing in front of him.
Rhodes was determined to win these spies, and for this reason he not only equipped the "Shadow Messenger", but also touched the "Dark Soul" worn on his fingers.
In PVP battles, equipment and skills are the most important.
The next moment, Rhodes' figure disappeared into the darkness and disappeared.
The three spies passed by Rhodes like a breeze. They did not notice that there was someone beside them, nor did they know that Rhodes had already pulled out the sword from his waist backhand, and his eyes showed cold murderous intent, looking at the target in front of him. Soon, he would let these guys who were trying to make their ideas know who was the real hunter!
As for the three seemingly unprepared spies, Rhodes did not choose to take action easily. Because he could see clearly that the positions of these spies were very regular. They formed a triangle, and they could support each other at any time. If any person was attacked, the other two would react at the first time and launch a counterattack. Unless Rhodes could kill three people at the first time, this was definitely not the right way to do it.
And now he definitely does not have such strength.
But Rhodes was very patient because he knew what these spies were thinking, what they were planning to do, and more importantly, how they should do it.
He quietly lurked behind the three of them, hanging from afar, waiting for the opportunity.
Soon, the three spies passed through the secret passage, and then, like Marlene, they came to the platform.
However, what appeared in front of the three of them was not the spectacular and gorgeous scene before. Long before learning that these guys were coming, Rhode had asked Marin to cancel the lighting of the magic light ball, and he did not mean to create conditions for the enemy. However, perhaps because Rhode knew very well that this was too difficult for those spies, so he still "concerned" to help the spies.
In the darkness, a little fire immediately attracted the attention of the spies.
They attached themselves, crawled on the ground, looked there carefully, and then saw Marlene holding the torch in her forehand, half-squatting in front of a stone pillar, as if she was studying something on it.
It's a good opportunity!
