[Temporary Mission: Explore the Secrets of the Ancient Passage]

【Reward: Upgrade (Village)】

[Description: When you set foot on this ancient passage, you seem to have some guesses about the myths of the past.] You think there may be a deeper secret in it, and you plan to keep going until you explore the secrets of this ancient passage. 】

A system dialog appears on Retina.

Kant frowned slightly.

"The Secrets of Ancient Mythology."

Sweeping the introduction on the dialog, Kant whispered, "That's interesting." ”

That's right.

It's really interesting, to the point that Kant wants to know about it.

The once glorious era of the gods has come to an end, leaving only ruins and ruins, and there are not many people who can pose a threat to him, even if it is a demonic creature, in the absence of a large number of murderous species, in the face of more than 500 elite troops, he must also bow down and understand who is the real king in today's era.

Kant may be even weaker, but it is also not the same as these mythical remnants who have been breathing for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, after losing their past glory and strength, they can still fight with him brazenly, on a par with him.

Not to mention the completion of special tasks, perhaps you also need to know to explore this ancient passage.

The stone pavement is neatly arranged.

The underground river flows like a dam road.

However, the embankment road is 10 meters wide along the mountain and the underground stone layer, and not only is the stone slab paved, but the relief carvings of ancient samurai are carved every 5 meters or so on the right side of the mountain.

The deeper you walk, the clearer the shape of the relief next to it becomes.

But the road is getting deeper.

It's like there is no end, it stretches all the way to the depths of darkness that seem to be frozen like eternity.

Kant had been leading his troops for nearly 2 hours.

Although it was walking, the distance was definitely several kilometers, and they could estimate it.

But the ancient passage along the underground river spread for several kilometers, and it was not even known whether it had come to an end, and it was clear that their original idea had been overturned.

The sergeant next to him raised his torch.

A roaring flame illuminates the surroundings.

The 5-metre-high head bears signs of rock being carved out by tools, and no ceiling has been laid or carved into relief.

It should be a matter of cost and technology.

Even in the age of the gods, it is impossible to build such a large-scale building without considering the cost, not to mention that manpower and material resources are limited, and the ability to dig a passage that does not know how far has already proved their construction level, even if it is an ordinary tunnel, it can amaze the people of this era.

But Kant and they didn't arrive at this ancient passage to admire the level of architecture.

Rather, it came to solve special and temporary tasks.

Instead of admiring the architecture, he had already appreciated the mastery of the architects in the time of the gods in the cave ruins, even the mountains could be completely hollowed out, and even the mountains and rocks could be carved into such great giant statues.

That's already the top level of construction.

"This path."

Kant opened his mouth slightly, his face depressed: "Is there no end?" ”

The darkness ahead is condensing like eternity.

After walking for such a long time, even Kant's knightly body was a little tired.

In fact.

The elite soldiers behind them were also tired, and the two-hour march on foot, although it was a smooth stone road, but with the weapons and equipment all over their bodies, the enough weight still made them breathless.

Not to mention, there were also several small-scale demonic creature raids.

Bandak walked to the front.

Looking at Kant's depressed face, he sighed lightly and suggested: "Lord Kant, I think it may be better to retreat now, we are now entering this ancient passage, and the distance is too far. ”

"But it's a pity to go back like this."

Kant squinted.

Bandak dissuaded, "Maybe we can send cavalry." ”

"Cavalry?" Kant was slightly stunned.

"That's right." Seeing that Kant was thoughtful, Bandak hurriedly suggested: "This ancient passage is paved with stone slabs, even if the cavalry can also march, we don't need to explore on foot at all, as long as we send a few cavalry to go deep into the passage to investigate the situation, and after we get a valid conclusion, we will be more efficient to advance further." ”

"That's a very good suggestion." Kant nodded, agreeing with Bandak's words.

Turning his head to look at the Swadia heavy cavalry who were in charge of the rear of the palace at the rear, he directly ordered Bandak: "You immediately lead part of the troops back, bring all the cavalry's war horses over, and prepare food and fuel for 1 day, I plan to lead the cavalry to continue to advance!" ”

"Uh... That's not what I meant, Lord Kant. Bandak looked stunned.

"Don't explain." Kant interrupted him and ordered him directly: "Go and deal with it quickly, I don't think you will let me down, I will continue to wait here for you to come back with supplies." ”

"But if you go deeper, won't it be too dangerous?"

Bandak's face was slightly anxious.

Kant was the supreme lord in his heart, and the slightest danger was caused by his incompetence, so for safety reasons, Bandak continued to block it.

Especially sweeping through the deep ancient passage, Bandak said solemnly: "As the mage apprentices said, if you continue to go deeper inside, the more you can feel the evil power emanating, if you continue to lead the team forward, maybe you will encounter more demonic creatures and stronger, this is risking your life to investigate!" ”

"That's right, my lord, please think carefully."

The mage apprentices were equally solemnly discouraged.

"Hmm." Kant responded.

Although Sergeant Rhodok in the rear, the Livingston rangers did not speak.

But he could still see the dissuasion in their eyes.

No one wants to see their allegiance to their lord in the slightest danger, because that would be the greatest mistake for them, even worse than defeat and slaughter.

Your own life can be ignored, and it is glorious to die in battle.

But Lord Kant must live.

This is their belief.

Kant looked at the real eyes of these soldiers, and he also understood where their beliefs came from.

He took a deep breath, a little cold, but Kant looked at Bandak and the mage apprentice, as well as the soldiers behind him, and said in a deep voice: "I want to get the answer, what is waiting for me in this ancient passage, so I will not quit, I must get the result." ”

This is a task given by the system, and Kant will not give up.

What's more, he believes that the system will not harm him.

Sweeping their eyes, Kant continued in a deep voice: "According to my arrangement, continue to act, we must finish this ancient passage this week. ”

"Yes!" Seeing Kant's decision, Bhandak could only nod solemnly.

"Understood!"

Many of the soldiers also replied in a deep voice.

Since this is an order from Lord Kant, then they obey it unconditionally.

In case of danger.

They used their bodies to create the strongest shield wall for Lord Kant, and as level 4 and level 5 middle and high-level troops, they also have their own arrogance and fearlessness in their chests!

Bandak turned and returned with the Swadian heavy cavalry.

Others were stationed in situ under Kant's arrangement.

Only 3 torches were lit, and they were lit in the front, middle and back, relying on this light to maintain vision.

The underground river is flowing in a hurry.

In this deep darkness, perhaps overhead, the mountains of the Sanwaya Mountains, the entire ancient passage was silent, and the soldiers all squatted on the damp and cold stone slabs and waited, or took out the bread and water bladders they carried with them, and ate and drank a few sips to replenish the exertion.

As for sleep, it is also shallow, and the guards are arranged, and no one is really asleep, after all, in the ancient passage, there is a group of bloodthirsty and tyrannical demonic creatures.

Everyone was vigilant.

Kant also sat on the stone slab, and although there were leather cushions, he still felt a chill creeping through his bones.

Underground passages, plus rivers presence, are extremely cold.

Even touching the damp water vapor in the corner of the wall, Kant found layers of frost, obviously if the temperature is at a low point, it can condense into ice here, obviously in the depths of the earth, the cold is extremely heavy!

Even the soldiers could only sit back to back.

As for leaning against the stone wall, they didn't dare.

Although there is support, the chill on the stone wall is quite strong, and it is easy to pass through the linen robe and chain mail, causing the heat of the body to quickly disappear, causing a state of weakness.

It's similar to the climate of the Vekia Snow Field, and they know something about it.

"Misstepping."

Kant frowned at this, and regretted slightly: "I should have instructed Bandak to bring some leather jackets over." ”

This soft leather jacket is worthless at the Solid Stone Pass.

Thanks to the abundance of wildlife in the Sanwaya Mountains, hunters bring back a large amount of prey every day, so leather products are equivalent to exports at the Jianshi Pass, and the price of self-sale is very low.

In order to solve the problem of cold nights in the castle of "Drehem", Manid purchased a number of leather jackets.

Nearly 300 sets were also sent to the village of "Aaron".

Although it is not enough for everyone to wear, it is absolutely no problem to use it as a foreshadowing during rest, so that everyone has a place to sit and lean on, and to isolate the chill from the stone pavement and stone walls.

After waiting for nearly 3 hours, the sound of horses' hooves was bursting.

The roar was like a flood breaking its banks.

It was the Swadian heavy cavalry who were riding their horses, holding torches aloft, and they were very conspicuous in this dark ancient passage, and soon appeared before Kant and them, and they all stopped their advance.

"Lord Kant, all the war horses have been brought."

Bandak rolled over and dismounted.

At the same time, he led the war horse that no one rode next to him to Kant and reported respectfully: "And the food and fuel you arranged are ready." ”

"Well done." Kant nodded in satisfaction at Bandak.

The surrounding infantrymen also stood up.

But it seems that after squatting for a long time, the cold invades the legs and feet, and the activity is a little inconvenient.

But they weren't needed anymore.
