The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

　　Catherine did not immediately pull the door open, but carefully opened a gap and peeped inside, hoping to see Nelson and his abductors, but unfortunately there was no one inside.

On the contrary, Leo seemed to have no fear of hitting the grass and scared the snake. Before Catherine reacted, he pulled the door completely violently, kicked the wooden wedge on the ground against the door, and walked in and said: "Don't look for it, they are no longer here! Since Yongmiandian has a secret door, it shouldn't be a strange thing to think of another secret road."

　　 Leo walked straight to the grave closest to the inside of the entire tomb. This tomb is different from the other graves in the tomb. It is a coffin grave with a complete body preserved.

　　Since several large-scale plagues broke out in the three continents of the Velon world, the funeral habits of the Velun continent have changed. Except for those rich businessmen and nobles, most people will choose cremation.

In places like Cage City, after the dead people burned the ashes, the ashes were put into the ashes and sent to a tomb in the necropolis. They were adjacent to the other deceased. This is the most suitable for Cage City. Burial method of slums. And the way of burial like the coffin that Leo is facing now is a bit abrupt here.

"This is the tomb of St. Birmingham. He was the chief designer of the sanctuary. After his death, he was consecrated by Martin, who was the archbishop at the time, and has been included in the roster of saints in the Holy See." Catherine saw the tombstone Immediately after the name, he made a gesture of religious prayer and explained to Leo: "The Temple of Eternal Sleep was also built by him. He was the first person buried here."

　　 "Birmingham, it sounds like the name of the English people." Leo said again, seemingly casually.

　　 Catherine said: "He is the man of your English kingdom."

After Leo listened, he said nothing, but crouched down, groped under the sarcophagus, and then heard the sound of pulling the organ, and then the coffin slowly moved away to reveal a downward staircase. Catherine in the scene showed an unexpected look.

"Wait!" Catherine stopped him when Leo was about to lead them down. Then he looked at him with a straight face and said, "You better explain it first, and then we decide where to go next." ?"

　　 Leo asked back, "What is the explanation?"

　　Catherine said seriously: "Why are you so clear about these institutions? Why do you think Nielsen will be brought here? Where does this secret path lead?"

"I will answer your questions one by one!" Leo saw that Catherine had become serious and felt the need to explain, so she said: "Just now I said that everyone has a unique smell, such as gooseberry, The lilac blended perfume is very unique, it should be blended by yourself."

　　Catherine was surprised when she heard the words. Obviously no one knew the secret.

　　 Leo continued: "Perfume alone is not enough to make your scent unique. You still have some herbal scent, some potion scent. When these scent are mixed together, your scent becomes unique."

　　Catherine guessed: "Can you smell these smells?"

Leo didn’t admit it or deny it. He just smiled and pointed at the secret path that was revealed, and said: "As long as the scent is traced to the place, it is easy to judge whether there are secret doors and secret paths around because there is no one. It can disappear out of thin air, and it is not alone. It is much simpler to confirm that there are secret doors and secret paths, and then to find the open mechanism."

　　Catherine heard it for a while, and finally couldn't help but said to Leo: "Are you a thief before?"

　　Leo did not take the stubble, and continued to point to the secret path, saying: "As for where this secret path leads, it should be very easy to guess, and you should be able to guess."

　　 "The catacombs." Catherine quickly thought of the answer.

　　 "Good is the catacombs!" Leo nodded affirmatively, he would know where the secret road leads to is not by speculation as he said, but the spiritual network has already discovered the situation below. Then he said, "Don’t you think this is weird? Mr. Martin wants to target the doctor inexplicably. The ultimate goal is the catacombs, and now a group of people have joined in. After they caught the doctor, they also took him Take it to the catacombs. What's so special about this catacombs? Also, what's special about the doctor?"

　　 Because of Leo’s deliberate guidance, Catherine fell into contemplation, but soon she recovered, and from her thoughtful look, it is not difficult to see what she obviously thought of. It's just that she didn't intend to say it, but urged: "Let's find Nielsen first and say something else!"

Seeing Catherine's reluctance to say, Leo didn't ask, he nodded in favor of Nelson's proposal first, and then he cut off several wall lamps filled with kerosene from the tomb in the tomb.

　　Leo's act of destroying those wall lamps made Catherine frown, trying to stop it, but in the end he said nothing.

　　 At this time, Leo lit the wall lights and gave them to Catherine and Jason respectively for tunnel lighting, and the rest was put in the backpack for backup.

Later, in order to avoid the big robe on his body, Leo took off the robe, but he did not throw it away. He also put it in the backpack together with the robe removed by the other two, so that he can be used as a Firelighter.

Finally, he checked the king and the queen’s launching, so that Jason would also fill the strong crossbow obtained from Valjean with arrows, but not the special-effect arrows, but ordinary arrows. Ya.

Leo’s prudent approach caused Catherine to feel very nervous, because she was prepared to come and see the patient in advance, and she didn’t expect such a thing to happen, and even if there was an accident, she didn’t think she would be in the parish. She was hurt, so she didn't bring any weapons at all. The only thing that could be regarded as a sharp weapon was a syringe with a needle soaked in an alcohol box.

　　 "You take this battle axe first, and hide behind me or Jason when something happens." Perhaps after finding Catherine's embarrassment, Leo took a battle axe from her waist and handed it to Catherine, and prompted.

　　Catherine was obviously not an ordinary woman. After taking the battle axe, she waved twice and nodded at Leo to signal that she could use it.

In this way, I prepared for more than seven minutes, and Leo, who was properly checked, grabbed the wall lamp, stood up, walked into the tunnel, walked down the sloping stairs, and walked away. After a certain distance, he extended his right hand and pressed it on a stone brick with no obvious patterns on the wall.

　　 At this time, Catherine, who was at the end, just walked into the tunnel. The sarcophagus closed silently behind her, leaving only a faint oil lamp in the corridor.

　　 "Let's go! We have to catch up with them, we need to speed up our pace." Leo waited for Catherine's thoughts and hurried, and then accelerated his pace and led the way.

　　 Perhaps because of walking in the dark environment like cage city all year round, Catherine's adaptation to darkness is still above Jason, and soon she adapts to Leo's pace.

　　 Leo was also surprised by Catherine's adaptability, but it was not a good thing for him, because he was originally planning to use Catherine as an excuse to slow down his progress.

　　 The preparation process just now and the idea of ​​slowing down now are because Leo really wants to know what the relationship between the people they chase now and Nelson? Why do they come here with the best equipment?

Just at the moment when the secret path opened, Leo’s spiritual network has detected the location of those who first entered the secret path and Nelson, because the secret path extends downward in a spiral shape, although some parts will exceed His spiritual net covers, but soon the secret path will turn around again, and those people will reappear along the secret path in his spiritual net.

　　Like Leo's previous information obtained from odor particles, Nelson was indeed not kidnapped. Judging from the fact that Nelson was guarded by those people in the middle, it was clear that Nelson was the protected person there.

What's more interesting is that there are more than one person protected by Nelson, and there are two others, and these two people seem to be very familiar with Nelson, and they will also have some very intimate moves when they are on the road, such as patting shoulders, etc., and Nelson also showed no signs of resistance.

If Leo and others were immediately caught when they sensed Nielsen and others, I believe that after a few minutes at most, they will be able to catch up with those who can’t adapt well to the darkness. Just this way, I’m afraid It's hard to know the purpose of this pedestrian.

　　 Therefore, Leo deliberately delayed the time to allow Nielsen to walk away enough distance to lead them down.

　　However, he clearly underestimated Catherine's ability to move in the dark environment, catching up at the current speed, and if the other party does not walk out of this secret way, they will meet soon.

Fortunately, under the perception of the spiritual net, about 150 meters down, the secret path has reached the exit, and Nielsen is only half a circle away from the exit.

　　 Leo continued to move down at the current speed, and did not intentionally remind some broken steps, so that both Catherine and Jason made a noise because of the sudden stepping of the feet.

　　 Sure enough, as he expected, after the sound went out, the people in the secret road also heard it, and the speed of travel immediately accelerated a lot, and soon rushed to the exit of the secret road and went out.

　　When Leo, they also came to the secret road exit, the group of people had disappeared.

　　After reaching the end of the secret path, Leo deliberately groped for a while on the stone wall in front of him, just as if he had just found the organization and opened the closed stone door, and then went out first.

I saw that the exit of the secret road happened to be in a basement. The stone door just covered the exit. Open the stone door and enter directly into the basement. You can see the exit of the basement a few steps forward. The steps of the exit are upward. Go, and soon be able to go out.

　　 "Here? Where is this?" Catherine, who had walked out of the basement, looked at the strange surroundings and couldn't help but stunned.

Although 　　 is under the ground, the stone walls here and the rocks on the top are covered with a kind of fluorescent plants.

　　 Although the light emitted by this plant is not very strong, it can also play a certain role in lighting when gathered together. Not to mention, at least it can let people see the general situation of this underground space.

　　 A huge city ruin, this is the first impression of anyone seeing the surrounding scene.

Secondly, the whole city was excavated on the rock of the earth. This can be determined from the contact points of all building components such as the house beams, foundations and even roofs. It is enough to judge that these individual stone houses are all a rock. Chiseled out.

　　 The last thing is that you can see more houses on the stone walls in the distance. Obviously, all of them are stone kilns cut from the stone walls. Judging from the number of houses, there were also many people who lived there at that time.

　　 "This should be the catacombs." Just when the two were still shocking what they saw, Leo knew the situation of the underground city long ago, without much emotion and excitement, and said calmly.

　　 "Impossible! I know what the catacombs look like! It can't be the catacombs!" Catherine shook her head again and again, denying Leo's claim.

　　Leo said: "You remember how many meters the secret path went down, and then recall the location of the catacombs."

　　Catherine thought for a moment, as if thinking of something, and suddenly looked up at the rock above~www.NovelMTL.com~ said: "You mean, we are under the catacombs."

　　 "I don't know." Leo answered vaguely.

　　 In fact, Leo is very clear that the current location is at the bottom of the catacombs.

　　If you walk from the Holy Hall according to the normal way, you will enter the catacombs first, then the tunnel excavated from the catacombs will enter the residential area of ​​another underground city, and then come here from the channel opened by that underground residential area.

　　Because the secret road was vertically downward, people who walked from the secret road crossed the catacombs and another underground residential area and came directly to the underground city.

This is a good thing for anyone who does not want to disturb the Aknaya Church. In Leo’s perception, many armed church guards are guarded at both ends of the passage from the catacombs into the next underground city. Priest.

　　If there is no such secret, he still has to consider how to deal with these people. Now he saves a lot of trouble and avoids disagreement with Catherine who has a special feeling for the church.

　　 At this moment, Catherine suddenly seemed to see something, quickly rushed through a rubble ruin, and came to the center of this underground city.

This is a central square. There should have been a huge sculpture on the square, but it has been turned into a pile of gravel, but the base of the sculpture is barely preserved. The light emitted by the fluorescent plant attached to the rock surface People with slightly better eyesight can barely see the gigantic text and some weird symbols on the base from a distance.

　　 At this moment, Catherine squatted on the ground, looked at the relief text and symbols in front of her face with surprise, excitement and excitement, and murmured in her mouth: "Is it true? It turns out to be true? Nilgard really exists."
