"Shall we go down from here? Lord Jenn? ”

Looking at the dark and cold tunnel in front of him, the adventurer couldn't help but gasp, looking a little uneasy. It's no wonder, although they weren't familiar with the architecture of the Lost City, but they only had to look at the tombstones and the black hole in front of them to tell where they were.

It's a cemetery.

Cemeteries are not a good place for adventurers, and although they often venture into abandoned tombs, they understand better than anyone else the horrors of the places where the dead rest. Traps everywhere, and the undead who lie there one moment asleep, the next they wake up and pounce on you. As well as lichs, ghosts, undead. These things are arguably the biggest trouble for the living, and they are reluctant to fight each other if they can.

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Jenn stretched out his hand and pushed his glasses before he spoke.

"If my previous investigation is correct, in the depths of this mausoleum, there should be a secret tunnel connected to the Temple of the Sun, through which the dead who have been blessed and baptized will be sent to this tomb complex through this secret passage to eternal sleep. Therefore, as long as we can find this secret passage, we can enter the Sun Temple without alarming the cultists, so what else is the problem? ”

"This ............"

Hearing Jenn's answer, the adventurers also looked at each other, but they couldn't say anything more. And at this very time. A voice came from behind them.

"Why, then, do we have to enter the Temple of the Sun now?"

Hear the voice. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then turned their heads away. I saw Daniel standing there with a gloomy face at the moment, looking at Jenn with a somewhat defiant smile.

"This noble gentleman, it's almost time to tell us the truth, you told us that you are here to investigate, if that's all there is to it, then we can wait for these cultists to leave before moving on, right? Why fight with them? Although you say that there is a secret passage down here that will allow us to avoid the cultists, this is only an assumption. What exactly are you looking for there? Shouldn't you be honest with us? ”

"Daniel ............"

Hearing Daniel's words, everyone frowned, but they didn't say much. In fact, they are also very clear. The reason why Jenn continued to move forward even though he knew there were cultists must have been for something in the Temple of the Sun. Maybe both of them are going for the same thing, but most people don't have any idea about it. The reason is simple, no matter what Jenn's real reason is, they, as adventurers, have to take money to do things since they have already received commissions. As long as Jenn wasn't one of those evil necromancers and didn't mean to sacrifice them, then everyone wouldn't disobey him. Not to mention the strength that Jenn had shown before. It's enough to shut up most people.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that there was actually a person here who was not afraid of death.

But no one stood up against Daniel's words, and in fact they were curious. It would never be so simple to be able to let such a young and legendary powerhouse come here alone, maybe it would be some legendary treasure. But they don't have a good time asking. And now that they are willing to have someone take the lead, they are naturally happy to see it.

Anyway, it's a failure. It's not you who is unlucky.

"It has nothing to do with you."

But in the face of Daniel's inquiry, Jenn gave a decisive answer.

"What you have to do is very simple. As I said when I was hired before, come with me to the Temple of the Sun and protect me until I finish my research. That's all, and anything else is outside the scope of our treaty, and I am not obliged to tell you what I have come to do, and you don't need to know. ”

Saying this, Jenn reached out and pushed his glasses, and then looked at Captain Steve next to him.

"Captain Steve, I hope this doesn't happen again, I hired you because you are professional adventurers who know what you should and shouldn't do. I don't think I've given you any orders or instructions to put you in danger until now, have I? ”

"I'm so sorry, Lord Jenn."

Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Steve also hurriedly walked out, lowered his head, and solemnly apologized to him. Because Jenn was right, when the two parties were hired before, there was no agreement on this aspect. And as a hired person, it is a matter of course to obey the orders of the mercenary, so whether Jenn wants to avoid those cultists or not, it is Jenn's own business. Others can propose a proposal, but they can't question the employer's decision, which is the "professionalism" of the adventure team. Now, however, Daniel's approach is clearly shaking the foundation of the contract between the two parties. If this continues, it will only get even more out of control.

"Daniel is just a little more temperamental, and I assure you, this won't happen again........."

As he spoke, Steve turned his head and looked at Daniel sternly.

"Daniel, this time I forgive you for your rudeness, but don't let something like this happen a second time! You are an adventurer, don't forget our rules! ”

"But the head of the regiment ..............."

Hearing Steve's words, Daniel's face changed slightly, he opened his mouth, and wanted to say something more, but at this time Steve had already waved his hand, interrupting his defense.

"This is an order, your actions are to discredit our 'Fairies and Treasure Chests'! If something like this happens again, then you leave immediately!! ”

"This ........."

Hearing Captain Steve's order, Daniel was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and stopped talking. The others didn't come up to speak for Daniel, and although they were happy to see Daniel's actions come to fruition, it didn't mean that they agreed with what Daniel did. What's more, Jenn had already picked out the words clearly before. If they dared to stand up again, they might anger Jenn, but these people were not stupid enough to touch the mold of a legendary powerhouse. Especially in this case. In fact, even Aina and Tillis, the two kindest people in the group, didn't have the idea of stepping forward to help, after all, Daniel's actions just now were too bad. They are also quite dissatisfied. Knowing that there are strong enemies around you and that the lost city is in danger, you still insist on inciting infighting at such a time, isn't this really the rhythm of death?

"Tillise, I'll leave it to you."

"Yes, Captain."

Hearing Steve's order, Tillise stepped forward, then she glanced at Daniel before looking back and sighing. Then he clenched the stick in his hands, closed his eyes, and began to pray in a low voice.

The ginger is still old and spicy.

Seeing this scene, Jenn glanced at Steve quietly. On the surface, Steve is obedient to himself, but how simple is it to be able to lead a team? In fact, in Steve's heart, he may not have the same thoughts as Daniel, but he obviously won't do it so stupidly. Asking Tillise to come out and explore like this would be the best option, and if Tillise's pathfinder pointed out that the tomb was very dangerous, then Steve would naturally have a reason not to go this way. And if Tillise's pathfinding means it's safe here. Then Steve will be able to do what Jenn tells him to do without clashing with the other party. This is obviously a very smart choice for Steve. And compared to that.........

Thinking of this, Jenn reached out and pushed his glasses. Glancing at Daniel, who was standing behind everyone. At this moment, his face was gloomy, he clenched his teeth, and stared at Steve with clenched hands. Unaware of Jenn's gaze.

Waste is waste, and mud can't hold up the wall. But.........

Retracting his gaze, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly.

Even if it's waste. There is also value in recycling.

At this time, Tilis had finished praying, and she let go of her hands and took a few steps back. The stick in Tilis's hand stood alone on the ground, and it was not until a moment later that it fell with a thud -- and the place it pointed to was the entrance to the dark tomb ahead.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Either way, at least Tilis's guidance indicated that the tomb was much safer than the outside, so it seemed that Jenn's choice was not unreasonable. Steve's face was stern and cold, without a trace of expression, just nodding at Tilis.

"Good, keep going."

It was pitch black in the tomb.

The warm glow of the burning torches dispelled the centuries-old darkness that had been dormant here, and with the help of the torches, it was easy to see the snow-white cobwebs woven throughout the tomb and the broken floor fragments, with the fragments of bones and shrouds everywhere. The iron gate that had been used to seal the tomb was already fragile after a hundred years of corrosion, and the warrior at the head just stretched out his hand and gently pushed it, and then scattered to the ground, the harsh sound echoing in the depths of the silent passage, but it did not bring any response. Except for the footsteps of the people, there was only a dead silence in the entire tomb.

Although it seemed that there was nothing, the adventurers did not let their guard down because of this, and they stared at the two dug up tombs, and stared warily at the corpses lying in the tombs, rolled up in the shroud. It wasn't the first time they ventured deep into the tombs, so it was clear to these adventurers how dangerous these ordinary-looking corpses were.

"Whoa!!"

Sure enough, just as everyone was passing through a passage under the tomb, the skeleton that was standing in the hollow of the corner with a long sword in its hand suddenly moved, and it raised the long sword that was still on the ground just now, and slashed at the adventurers next to it. And the warrior who had been alert to this for a long time also hurriedly raised the shield in his hand to block the sneak attack of the skeleton swordsman, and then saw the berserker beside him roar angrily, raising the two-handed giant sword in his hand and slashing at the skeleton swordsman's body. Of course, this lowest-level undead creature couldn't block the full force of an elite warrior's blow, only to see that the skeleton of bones was knocked out like this, and then completely fell apart, and there was no more movement.

But instead of relaxing, the others drew their weapons and stared around warily. Because everyone knows very well that from now on, it is the trouble place.

And just as they had expected, almost at the same time, a terrifying roar came from the depths of the silent darkness.

The dead, who had been sleeping here for centuries, have finally awakened again. (To be continued......)
