Chapter 13 Underground passage

"That is to say... if I make any extreme reaction, those who are hiding in the dark will not be able to calm down because they are worried that I will disappear forever with my secret." The Count continued Tianyi's words and said

Tianyi took the coffee and took a sip, saying, "Of course, since I have reached a deal with you, I will naturally guarantee your safety and solve these people once and for all."

"Master, what are you planning to do?" The count asked at this moment. In fact, there was a scene in his mind: Tianyi was in a cave with torches, and the surrounding walls were covered with evil symbols, and there were piles of foul flesh and blood in the room. Tianyi was dancing wildly in a black robe, and then recited a bunch of spells. Then, those who were far away in Rome, who threatened their safety suddenly died collectively due to curses.

"The plan is very simple, divided into three steps." Tianyi stretched out three fingers: "The first step is to hide the treasure; the second step is to release the message to tell them that the treasure has been hidden; the third step is to die forever with the secret of the treasure hiding place."

After hearing this, the count looked pale: "Master... don't joke."

"Don't worry, it's not that you really die," Tianyi said: "It's just burying the name Kissie De Boer. Only after you die once will you be absolutely safe."

"So that's it." The Count thought for a while and said, "Using the method of cheating death, everyone thought that the treasure had been buried forever, and I left the world with the secret of the treasure... It was indeed a one-time and for all."

"However, this involves another issue, that is, our transaction," Tianyi said: "If I ask me to help you solve the problem of treasure, it is another transaction."

"But...that's part of my safety problem, right?" asked the Count.

"I tell you this three-step plan, which makes the treasure problem part of your safety problem." Tian Yi replied: "I can also use other methods to solve your safety problem, but if I do that, the situation will be different. The trading conditions for the treasure problem will become very harsh." He paused and looked into the count's eyes: "So, it's up to you to adopt my suggestion, and now we will reach a second deal with me, or let me use other methods to solve your personal safety problem, and accept a more difficult condition to solve the treasure problem in the future."

The Count seems to have a choice, but we all know what he will do: "Okay, Master, I believe in you"

"Do you believe in my ability, or do you believe that I really want to help you?" Tian Yixiao said

The count's Adam's apple squirmed. After hearing this, he felt that his heart was neither close nor good, and he had no benefit from a penny. The conditions for his first transaction seemed inexplicable. He just asked himself to save an injured young man. Why should this weird wizard consider the problem from my perspective? How can I choose whether the conditions are harsh or not? What is the difference for him?

Tianyi looked at the other party's entangled expression and seemed to have gained great pleasure. He then said, "Hehe... you don't have to answer to listen to the conditions of the second transaction."

The count's nerves were tense, and his heart was mentioned as his throat. He could not guess what kind of request this guy in front of him would make.

"Actually, you should know what the conditions are, that is, you should always give up your position and identity as the leader of the Knights Templar. You must not transfer it to anyone until I create a 'death' for you," said Tianyi.

When the count heard this, he felt relieved. He thought about it. It was not so much a condition but a necessity. According to Tianyi's plan, he had to give up his position as the chief commander, but even his original title, identity, and even his name were abandoned.

"I'm afraid I have to accept this condition to fulfill my promise to my uncle," the Count replied.

Tianyi said: "Your uncle just doesn't want the treasure to fall into the hands of those of Philip IV. Don't take him too high. The so-called 'hiding to the end of the world' is just a vow that he made you make when he is worried that he will not be able to enjoy these wealth."

"As long as those gold and silver do not fall into the hands of enemies, I can accept it whether they are inherited by the future Templars or transferred to the hands of others, but..." the Count said seriously: "I think those 'treasures' should not be circulated in the world, but should be buried, preferably forever."

"Hmph...why do you think it's your business?" Tianyi said indifferently: "Anyway, now our transaction has been achieved. Just follow my plan and complete these three steps, all your problems will be solved. You can live the life you want without continuing to face these dangers in front of you."

The Count replied, "Master... You are basically helping me for free. I wish you a prudent question, what can you get from this? Is those treasures permanently buried is your original purpose?"

"Since you can objectively get the results you want, don't ask what I do." Tianyi drank all his coffee, stood up, and put the cap behind the black robe on his head: "Let me go, before dusk, I'll take you to see the treasure hiding place."

"What? Now?" asked the Earl.

Tianyi did not answer, but made a "please" gesture with one hand, signaling the count to walk in front. The count hesitated for a few seconds, did not ask more questions, and went to the gate of the bookstore.

…………

After seeing the red double cross mark, Danshui immediately used his hand to dig the surrounding loess, and dug a small hole in two or three strokes. Then he turned around and said to the person standing behind him: "Don't stand directly behind me, move a few steps to both sides."

After hearing this, everyone was placed on both sides of the back of the dark water, giving up some space. The dark water pressed the palm of his right hand on the mark, and kept it for about five seconds. The red double cross mark gradually changed color and emitted a green light.

Then, a large piece suddenly collapsed a few feet behind the dark water. After one second, the second adjacent piece collapsed, which was deeper than the first piece, and so on... After the sand, stone and soil on the surface of the ground were broken and fell, a two-meter-wide step that extended toward the ground appeared in front of you.

"This passage has been closed for hundreds of years, so it's better for us to wear a breathing mask before going down." Danshui said, then opened his backpack and took out the mask he had prepared in advance.

Everyone else did as well. Lodovico kept watching. Although he had no plans to go down, before the expedition team went down, he naturally had to take advantage of all available opportunities to find out more information.

"How deep is this passage? Can we expand the passage through excavation?" he asked Dark Water impatiently.

But the dark water replied: "The depth will naturally pass through the big pit in the center of the Colosseum, but I can't know how deep it is. I suggest that you don't try to use external forces to attack the ruins or surrounding facilities. What impact will it have on the inside be unpredictable."

Lodovico nodded on the surface and said yes, but was already thinking about whether to wait for fifteen minutes before letting the "reserve team" follow along.

After everyone was wearing masks and took out the flashlight, the water walked in the front, and walked into the dark passage. The gunsmith followed him closely, followed by Suyside, and the Knight of the Iron Commandment behind. At the end of the team were the consultant and Winesa.

Both parties will be more at ease in this order. On the contrary cross, the consultant must follow Venisa at any time. He has to monitor the woman's ability to use her companions, and beware of her some conspiracy. On the other hand, the three dangerous elements are separated in this order, and the strongest Suyside is guarding against the two in front. Venisa walks at the end of the team and guards the consultant.

In this subtle atmosphere, everyone tacitly took the first step in exploring the remains

Except for the stair mechanism triggered by dark water at the top, this stair passage does not extend obliquely downward. When you walk down, you will find that the passage is spiral-shaped staircase. The lateral length of the steps is about two meters, and the surface is about one and a half steps for people to stand, which means that three people can stand side by side on one step.

The passage is like a dragon plated on a pillar, which circulates downwards counterclockwise and extends to the ground, so everyone does not move towards the spire of the center of the Colosseum at this moment, but walks vertically downwards, but it is not too far from the spire of the steel rule. If the ruins are indeed pyramid structures, they will encounter a slope on one side of the pyramid underground.

The steps under your feet and the walls on both sides look just stones and soil. Including the several steps collapsed at the top of the passage, they were not made of metal. Many people were muttering in their hearts, how was such a passage built? How could the soil and stone be fixed in this shape? Everyone walked along the way and did not see anything like wood or metal brackets to support the structure of the passage, which was completely unreasonable.

Winesa did not consider this problem. Since this channel exists, there must be some scientific or non-scientific force to keep this structure stable. At this moment, she was busy estimating the depth of their progress downwards. Based on the angle formed by the inclined surface of the pyramid and the earth, the depth of the spiral, the distance between the entrance of the passage and the excavation pit, etc., if you keep moving directly below, you should be able to explore the exterior wall of the ruins for about a few hundred meters. With the current progress and the slope of this channel...

"Did you see?" the consultant suddenly interrupted her thoughts and asked in a low voice.

"What did you see?" Venisa asked back

Because they were wearing masks, their voices were very dull and did not attract the attention of the team in front. The consultant deliberately kept a little distance from the people in front, tilted his head and said to Winesa behind him, "Look at that wall carefully..."
