Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.
Chapter 241: Giant Eye
According to what the fast executioner Glitt said before, all the soldiers and guards in the eastern area of the lord's mansion were basically transferred away by the old lord and gathered in the northern and outer areas of the lord's mansion. The defenses in other areas are very thin.
Therefore, there will be almost no obstruction in this eastern area.
As expected, we did not find any more guards along the way, and easily entered the eastern part of the lord's mansion.
Here is the residence of Abern and the Lord's Witch La. Their residences are very close to each other, only about 5 minutes away from each other.
After thinking for a while, Rune took the lead and walked towards Aborn's residence. It was quiet here, without the coming and going of people as before.
When Aborn entered Beloberg, he wanted to seize Beloberg's power through his marriage with Wula, so that the Principality of Renal could gain some advantages in the struggle with Beloberg, and even gradually replace Beloberg through his own reasons.
When he first entered Beloberg, he advertised his name widely and bribed military officers and leaders from all over the place. He even wrote a letter to Rune, hoping to recruit Rune into his team. At that time, he was very popular.
In his eyes, the old lord might just be a puppet to help him get to the top. The lively life he had back then formed a sharp contrast with the cold and deserted life he has now. It can only be said that the Principality of Renard and Abern still underestimated the old lord's cunningness.
Or maybe everyone underestimated him. Even Rune and others were caught off guard by his contrast.
Soon Rune found the main room where Aborn lived. It was a palace-like building that looked completely different from buildings in other places. There was a formation engraved by the Blood God Sect on it that was enough to lock the door inside, preventing him from leaving. Even if outsiders came, it would take a lot of effort to open it.
However, this was not a difficult task for Rune. The shape of this formation was somewhat similar to the testimony formation in the west of the lord's mansion, but it was much simpler than that place. It only required slight changes and could be cracked effortlessly without triggering any alarms or prohibitions.
With a slight sound, the door slowly opened. Rune walked in first without any hesitation. He saw Abern sitting dejectedly in the chair at a glance.
Seeing Rune coming, Aborn was very surprised. His originally dim eyes suddenly lit up. He staggered to Rune and asked, "Rune Graves, why are you here? Oh, no! That guy has been involved with the people of the Blood God Sect and will not let outsiders enter this place at all!"
"Does that mean you have already surrendered to him? Oh, you are originally from Beloberg, so it is reasonable for you to surrender to that guy. Don't kill me. Don't kill me! I can be used as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Principality of Renard. I am the favorite son of my father!"
Abern seemed a little crazy at the moment as he kept talking nonsense.
It was obvious that the long-term pressure and loneliness in recent days had made him a little mentally disturbed.
Even though he himself was a Sequence 7 Beyonder, he was unable to withstand such great pressure.
When Lu En saw him like this, he said sternly, "Be quiet, don't talk, I'm here to save you."
"You are here to save me. This is impossible. This is absolutely impossible. I don't believe what you say. Don't lie to me anymore. Otherwise, just kill me!"
"I've been in this damn place long enough. Who could have imagined that all this would happen!"
His voice became louder and louder, almost becoming a roar.
Lu En looked at him impatiently and said viciously: "Shut up, or I will let you die now."
A long knife was placed on Abern's neck, causing him to be stunned for a moment.
When he came to his senses, he suddenly realized something and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes. He stopped talking, stood up and waited for Rune to instruct him on his next move.
Rune didn't waste any words, just said, "In the east of your lord's mansion, is there any evidence that can prove that the old lord is involved with the Blood God? Collect them all and bring them out, then I will take you away."
"Okay, okay, I understand." The old man said three "OK"s in a row. Being able to leave this damn place was completely beyond his expectation.
Originally, when he was trapped in this place by the lord, he was already disheartened, not to mention that his most loyal subordinate, the executioner Glitt, had already been captured and imprisoned. Now Rune was like his savior, and he dared not disobey him no matter what he said.
After thinking for a while, Aborn immediately made a decision. He said, "I have some documents sent by the old man. At that time, these documents were written very obscurely, and I didn't notice them. Now I think they are one of the evidences of their collusion."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of documents from the cabinet in the house and stuffed them into Rune's hands. Then he scratched his head and said, "In addition to these, there is a very strange place behind this mansion. I discovered it when they were building it before, but they didn't let me in."
"Later, they arrested all the other people in the eastern part of the mansion, saying that they were going to perform some kind of ritual. Now I think it might have been the evil deed of that old guy!"
"Okay, then take me to see it." Rune glanced at the document.
Although the document can indeed prove that the old lord's military arrangements allowed the Blood God Cult to take advantage of the situation, it cannot be used as ironclad evidence of the lord.
Rune wanted to go and take a look at the strange place that Aborn mentioned.
The executioner's scapula was pierced by two large iron hooks, and his blood dripped into the ground. It was obviously absorbed by the soil and flowed along the lines to an unknown place. The end point might be the strange place that Aborn mentioned.
After giving Abern a bottle of potion that helped him recover a little, the three of them immediately headed towards the mysterious place.
This place is quite winding, and without Aborn's guidance, it would be difficult for Rune and his men to find this place on their own.
It was in the little garden behind the side lane where Abern was imprisoned.
There is a hidden underground passage from here that leads all the way to a deep and unknown area below.
The underground passage is only one person wide and can only allow one person to move forward at a time.
Aborn was walking in front, leading the way. He was trembling all over. The darkness ahead seemed to swallow everything and he couldn't see anything clearly.
However, these things were nothing in Rune's eyes. His vision at night was much better than that of others. In fact, he could see very far in the passage. Since the entire underground passage had been completed, there was no danger.
There were just some restrictions on both sides occasionally, and with Rune's reminder, Aborn was able to avoid them again and again. He walked down the passage for about half an hour and finally arrived at the strange place.
This place was filled with blood and murderous energy, which mixed together and made people breathe faster. Aborn didn't dare to go forward, so Rune had to grope carefully on his own.
"The formation in front of Rune has suddenly become denser, so you must be careful." The octopus wizard reminded. At this moment, they were in a relatively spacious room, but there were various clay sculptures placed around them.
These sculptures seemed familiar to En. When he first encountered the Hydra's descent ceremony, he sneaked into the underground space and saw similar existences. The methods used to worship these evil gods are actually very similar, but the paths leading to them are completely different.
After passing a ferocious-looking sculpture, there is another small door. There are obviously unusual fluctuations behind the door.
Lu En glanced at the two people behind him and reminded them softly, "Be prepared, I will open the door immediately. There must be something behind this door."
Upon hearing this, Aborn and the octopus wizard immediately took precautions. Rune pushed gently, and a stone door slowly opened.
There were rustling small stones falling on both sides, and the sound of the stone door rubbing against the ground was extremely harsh.
However, the moment the door was opened, the heat and smell of blood made everyone frown.
A heat wave swept in, and the temperature in the entire room rose by at least twenty degrees.
Rune looked inside and was even more surprised by the scene inside.
This is a huge underground space. The entire space has been dug into a cylindrical shape. Small paths have been dug along the cylindrical stone walls. There are countless exquisite stone doors on it. Rune and his companions only passed through one of them. There is a small gully on the side of each stone door, but these gullies are filled with blood.
A steady stream of blood gathered downwards and flowed to the bottom of the underground space, where a tall tower was built. It kept rotating with the injection of blood. Above the entire tower, the blood flashed a scarlet light through the lines, as if activating the entire formation.
In addition to the surging magical fluctuations at the bottom, there are also chilling roars echoing throughout the entire underground space.
"Sure enough, there is such a big secret here! Old man, what do you think this place is for? What is roaring down there?" Aborn was also excited when he saw the situation in front of him.
His voice was trembling, and it was obvious that he was also frightened by what he saw. The octopus wizard had seen a lot of things, so she walked beside Rune, carefully studying the layout and depiction of everything around her. After a moment, she raised her head and said to Rune, "This thing looks like a summoning array."
"Summoning circle." Rune had never seen such a thing before.
The octopus wizard explained, "When you entered the Church of the Goddess of Life before, you were teleported to the place I set up. In fact, that was also a summoning array of mine. I summoned it at that time to communicate with the God of Fertility and ask him to give me the power to deal with the people of the Blood God Sect."
"From the perspective of its structure, this summoning array is communicating with some ancient creature, and this ancient creature has been injected with endless blood. After the transformation, it may be controlled by the people of the Blood God Sect. After that, it will definitely become a powerful weapon in the war."
After listening to the explanation of the octopus wizard, Rune understood a lot. He immediately made a decisive decision and said, "Let's go to the bottom floor and take a look."
Aborn was extremely reluctant, but he dared not disobey Rune's words. He could only follow Rune and Octopus Us carefully and explore underground. Because there was a ready-made path, he didn't have to spend much effort. After circling around a few times, he was getting closer and closer to the deepest part of the underground space.
The temperature gradually rose, making it difficult to breathe.
The blood here boils and flows like magma, and the unique stench of decay penetrates into the nostrils.
Not long after, the three people finally reached the bottom of the underground space. There was indeed a small door on the first floor of the tower that could be used to enter.
Rune took the lead and moved forward. The closer he got to the tower, the more deafening the sound of the afterlife became. Rune quickly looked for a path to move forward, trying not to step on the array patterns or where the blood was flowing. After twists and turns, he finally pushed open the door under the tower.
The moment the door was opened, a huge sound wave was heard, almost blowing Abern away.
The octopus wizard almost lost his balance and touched the ground with his staff, and his whole body instantly turned into crystal. However, Rune had Black Mountain Town, so he didn't have to worry about this. He grabbed Aborn's hand, and it took a long time for the airflow to stop, and this guy fell from the air.
At this time, the three of them finally saw clearly the source of the roaring sound from underground. It was a huge head. There was no hair on the entire head. There were dark red lines from the top of the head to the eyes, nose, and mouth. In the eyes, the bottom of the eyes were black and the pupils were red.
The sharp teeth seemed to be able to tear everything apart, and the air flow from the nostrils was enough to blow away any weak creature.
"Is it a giant?"
Rune asked.
He had only seen a giant once before, and other than that he had seen similar descriptions in books, but he had never seen a record that was exactly the same as what he saw before his eyes.
The octopus wizard nodded and said, "This is a giant, a Sky-Eyed Giant among the giants! This kind of giant relies on a pair of strange eyes to cast spells. They are one of the few giants that can cast illusions."
"When they grow up, they are about 120 meters tall. Their strength is average among giants. Their defense is extremely high. Their movement speed is not very agile. Their lifespan can reach 400 to years. However, according to records, this kind of giant should have become extinct!"
She blinked her eyes, looked at the giant in front of her and said, "We don't know where they summoned this guy from. Look at the huge summoning array on his body. It forcibly pulled him here from another place, without obeying his own will at all. After the blood was injected into his body, he can indeed be completely controlled. But fortunately, they have only summoned a head now. The rest will take more time and blood to do!"
As soon as the octopus wizard finished speaking, the giant in front of him seemed to be in pain again. He struggled frantically, and the whole tower was shaking violently.
