"It's ......," Cecilia looked shocked.

And William and Anno were even more shocked at the moment and couldn't speak, and the two looked at the suddenly raised statue with a stunned expression. Then they found that when they saw this statue just now, the sword on the statue's cane did not have a sword tip, they thought it was some kind of design concept of the designer, and then at this moment, they found that the sword on the statue's crutches had a sword tip, but the tip of the sword went deep into the ground.

Because of the shock, all the people who had already run to explore the castle ran out, and then everyone looked surprised when they saw the raised statue, and many people returned to the first floor and began to observe the statue closely. Sean didn't stop all this, he knew the curiosity of these guys, just thinking about what kind of expressions they would have when they saw the magnificence and grandeur of utopia.

"Looks like we're in luck." A smile appeared on Sean's face, and judging from the situation when the statue was raised, he could tell that Asuna had not discovered the secret passage in the first place.

This passage is the two-storey underground space that leads to the Black Swan Castle built in the mountain.

Because it is covered with black asphalt and mountain ash, these two floors of space are moisture-proof, waterproof and insect-proof, and the designers who built the Black Swan Castle at the beginning also have a very complete ventilation system for the sake of strategic reserves. Therefore, the space on the basement floor was used by the owners of the Black Swan Castle for generations to store various strategic materials, and of course, some consumables needed during the war were indispensable.

However, what Sean really values is actually the second layer of the underground space of the Black Swan Castle.

Anno had returned to the carriage outside the castle, fetched a few torches, and lit them. Then, at Sean's signal, he carried a heavy shield in his left hand and a torch in his right, and walked down the stairs, followed by another Northland barbarian, but with two spears in his right hand. One of them is Anno's. Sean was in third, followed by Cecilia, William, and then several Northland barbarians.

Although the underground space is not dangerous, Sean did not say anything to stop Anno and the others from being cautious, and of course Sean would not refuse this change in attitude. Because it does mean that this Northland barbarian army has been following itself in several battles. Something qualitative is happening, and this change will also affect more Northland barbarians in the future, and Sean is happy to see this.

This staircase is a spiral-shaped staircase, and it is on the wall next to the staircase. There is a candlestick at intervals, but because there are no candles on the candlestick, there is no way to light it.

The stairs are not deep, only ninety-nine steps.

So it didn't take too much time, and everyone had already arrived on the first floor of this underground space.

Sean took the torch from Anno and took a few steps forward, reaching into a groove on the left.

In an instant, a flame erupted from the groove. Immediately after that, it swept away in a posture like a prairie fire. It quickly burns out along the direction of the groove. Then everyone clearly saw that a fiery snake was swimming throughout the basement level. In just a few seconds, the originally dark and gloomy underground floor became as bright as day. At this time, everyone realized that the entire underground floor had been surrounded by these grooves, and behind the grooves was fire oil, so as long as the torch was put in, the entire underground floor space could be lit, instead of only candlesticks and no candles like the staircase.

At this moment, the entire underground floor was clearly revealed in front of everyone, and there were no secrets to hide.

It's just that to everyone's disappointment, in the huge space on the first floor, they don't see anything of great value. Although there is still enough food to last a year, it is only considered based on the size of the Black Swan Castle, and if it is converted into the size of the entire army that Sean needs to support at present, it is probably only enough for a month and a half of rations.

In addition to the grain, there are also bundles of arrows piled up here on the first floor. William visually inspected it, and there were about a million sticks, which were worth only a thousand gold when converted into gold coins, and they were not even as good as the pile of grain, but because the quantity was more than the grain, it looked a little more spectacular. Other than that, there was nothing left on the entire floor, not to mention unknown precious metals, and even some standard weapons that could be replaced.

"I don't know if this bunch of stuff is worth five thousand gold coins." William pursed his lips, "Don't you feel poor and sour to hide such a little stuff in such a big space?" ”

"At the beginning, the viscount was not known for his military strength and financial resources." Sean smiled and said, "But it's a pity, I thought there was something else of value hidden here." …… But something is better than nothing, do you think there is anything else on top of this castle? Asuna had emptied almost the entire castle, not even the fakes, and if she had known about the underground space, she would have scavenged all the oil. ”

Hearing Sean's words, everyone let out a good-natured laugh, but they didn't know if Asuna, who was far away in the Tonys Fortress, would sneeze because of this.

There's nothing to do on the whole floor, because there are no compartments, so everything stored is clear at a glance.

The team didn't stop here, and under Sean's leadership, they quickly walked up the stairs leading to the second basement floor.

The staircase was at the end of the first floor, but this time it was not a spiral staircase, but a very common zigzag staircase, with only two floors and thirteen steps each.

Anno was a big man, and he ran down in high spirits and began to look for grooves, and this guy who still had the innocence of a child obviously wanted to try the feeling of lighting a fiery snake with his own hands. But on the second floor, he walked around the door with a torch but still didn't see a groove, so this guy turned his head to look at Sean with a look of grievance and grievance, like an abandoned puppy, which made everyone cry and laugh.

In this regard, Sean could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and said with a smile: "There are no grooves on this floor, so if you want to ignite a fire, then there is no way." ”

The space on the second basement floor is not large. One could even say. It's about the size of the most ordinary aristocratic parlor—hundreds of square meters. After the influx of nearly twenty people, the room was already a little crowded, but there were a lot of candles on the menorah on the walls, and after everyone lit them one by one, the whole room became bright again.

What appeared in front of everyone was a very ordinary-looking stone round table, with nothing on it.

But when Sean looked at the round table. There was a hint of excitement on his face, and the only one who could notice this was Cecilia, who had been following Sean's side. In fact, Cecilia has been observing since Sean opened this passage to the underground, because no one knows Sean better than her. So Cecilia was sure from the beginning that there must be something in this black swan castle that Sean desperately needed.

It's just that what she didn't expect would be such a simple and simple round table.

But when Cecilia stepped forward, she suddenly felt an extremely abundant magic surge from the round table. It's just that there seems to be something like an enchantment or magic array near the round table, so it prevents the abundant magic power on the round table from pouring out, and only when it is close to a certain range, can you feel the magic fluctuations that are almost like a heart.

Cecilia then immediately looked down and saw that she was within three meters of the round table. A lot of dark secret lines are drawn. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to see these secret lines.

"Found out?" Sean smiled and rubbed Cecilia's head. "If I am willing to sell this round table, it will not be a problem to change to a grand duke."

Sean said such a powerful content with an indifferent face, but once again deeply shocked Cecilia and William.

A round table has such a high value, what kind of round table is it?

However, Sean didn't seem to have any intention of selling it, and he quickly explained: "You can find descriptions of this round table in many ancient books, although it is only a few records, but it is indeed a product of ancient history. ”

"Round Table...... Ancient history ...... "Cecilia, as a magician, is a must to be well-informed, so after a few hints from Sean, she already had a vague concept, and after a few seconds, a look of extreme shock appeared on her face, "Is it ...... The legendary platform of piety that can communicate with the gods? ”

Although William is not as well-informed as Cecilia, he will definitely not be ignorant of some basic knowledge. Therefore, when I heard the "Altar of Piety", the look of shock on my face turned into a look of surprise.

"Almost." Sean nodded.

"What do you mean almost?" Cecilia subtly captures another meaning in Sean's words.

"The true Altar of Devotion has long since been destroyed in Ragnarok, so this one is actually a replica." Sean pointed to the stone round table and said, "Strictly speaking, this thing should be called the Sacrificial Table, and the magic circle you see underground is not just used to seal the stone table's magic power escape, it also has the effect of amplifying." Therefore, as long as there are enough sacrifices prepared, sacrifices can be made on this round table, but this round table is actually a thing tossed by the demons, so the only direction that can communicate is the abyss. So if the portion of the sacrifice is sufficient, it is not impossible to summon a demon lord to come out and play. ”

"This ......"

"Remember the Demon Book I sold? It's a portable product for this thing. However, the Book of Demons has no way to summon the Demon Lord, but this stone table has a way, but the demon creatures summoned as sacrifices sign equal contracts, not absolute master-servant contracts like the Book of Demons. …… However, the biggest advantage of this thing is that anything strange can be sacrificed, as long as the thing as a sacrifice is placed on it, the color of the stone table turns red, which means that the sacrifice is accepted, and the darker the color, the heavier the sacrifice. ”

Sean didn't have a reason, and suddenly remembered the unlucky player who accidentally found this stone table. Because I was too excited, I took a photo and uploaded it to the forum to share with others, but in just one day, the Black Swan Castle changed hands thirteen times, and it was not until the stone table was destroyed that the Black Swan Castle gradually became less interested in players.

But Sean is not the kind of person who likes to show off.

He has always remembered a lesson that the elder told him back then: to be a man, you must always learn to make a fortune in silence. (To be continued.) )
