Chapter 2244 Dark Forest Eight
"Is this the case?" Arthur looked at the glowing little thing in the wall and intended to reach out and touch.
"Be careful, maybe it's another trap, what to do with a poisonous spike." Bettiville reminded.
"Well, it's not like a trap," Arthur said. The seams in the wall are actually very small, and adults or people with thick arms can't reach and touch the organs. Only women and children with thin arms can touch that institution.
Arthur now borrows the body of a teenager, so he can get it. He guessed that the witch who was hiding in this cave was also a slender person, and this organ was prepared for her, close to tailor-made things.
The intruder couldn't touch it, and even found it very difficult. Only the body where the witch can touch and clear its position, the probability of hiding traps is extremely small.
Arthur boldly reached out and touched it. Sure enough, it was a ring switch that could be pulled, and it was filled with rust. It is estimated that it has not been used in this wet cave for a long time and it has rusted. Rather than worrying that this is a trap, it is better to worry that the rusting of the agency is too great to cause it to move, and the shortcut cannot be opened.
However, Arthur’s momentary worry was superfluous. The witch who arranged the cave dwelling was very careful, and the work was extremely thorough. This emergency escape exit was also often prepared. Therefore, although the pull ring has a rust phenomenon, it does not affect the smooth operation of the internal structure of the mechanism. Arthur pulled it under force, pulling the ring and twirling the chain, and the chain led the entire organization hidden inside the cave. In the midst of a boom, something opened.
Arthur thought there was another secret passage hidden. Half of his ideas are correct and the other half is wrong. In fact, the cave is still going down, but because of the influence of the organs, the rock wall of the cave suddenly protrudes from numerous stone platforms for one person to stand on. The entire cave immediately became a giant spiral ladder, and people could walk on those stone platforms.
"This is the case. If the witch disappears in a flash, the chase will know that the cave is not the correct passage, but another hidden secret. So it is specifically used in this way to let yourself go straight."
"But the chase will see the witch running up the stone ladder?" Betdiwell asked. "The chase will also follow the stone ladder. Does it make sense?"
"This institution is estimated to create a condition in which only the witch can be unidirectional, and the shortcut that opens will soon be closed behind her." Arthur said: "Look, it's closed."
The original stone steps, the stone steps near Arthur's side, have slowly shrunk back and re-hidden in the stone walls. On the way forward, more stone steps are also retracted into the wall one by one, and this trend continues to endlessly until the original position is restored. When all the stone steps disappeared, the rest of the sinister caves were the suspension bridges and narrow stairs that were filled with traps.
"Is it necessary to run the stone ladder after the engine is turned off. The witch is quite confident about her physical strength." Biddiville couldn't help but spit out: "What if I don't have enough physical strength, what if I don't get hurt?" ?"
"That kind of thing is left to the witch to think about it." Arthur once again reached for the hoop: "Begin, follow me, take time!"
"Oh!" The wolf has already changed back to the appearance of the white wolf. This pair of Bediville is more agile and convenient to move around.
The organ started again and stretched out numerous stone steps from the wall. This is a time-lapse stone ladder that will retract into the wall after a while. Arthur knew that they would do this, and they did not continue to honed and flew directly to the stone steps.
Hey. Arthur landed on the first stone ladder. The platform is quite large enough to hold Arthur's petite teenager. Moreover, the surface of the stone ladder is obviously treated, with a grid-like non-slip texture on it, making it almost impossible for people walking on it to slip. This should have been part of an emergency escape route specifically for the witch, the witch has kept it all well, and her mind is scary. The stone steps should not be trapped. Arthur and Bedieville ran all the way, moving down the slightly spiraled ladder, and soon came to the bottom of the cave.
Here, as expected by Arthur, there are countless spikes in the center of the cave, and there are several bodies that have long since become white bones. In the past, there were indeed adventurers who came in from the back door of the Witch Cave, but these people obviously did not find hidden passages, so they marched along the dangerous suspension bridges and narrow ladders, and finally fell from a height and fell to the bottom of the hole. The spiked tragic end. It’s not enough to just kill people. It’s also necessary to arrange this kind of spike trap that will be fatal. The witch is not only poisonous, but also does not leak anything. It will not give her opponent a chance to threaten her – even if it’s a little bit Do not give.
Arthur discovered at this time that he had been admiring since the beginning and praised the witch. From the arrangement of each part of the cave, the witches have invested a lot of hearts for their own homes, and they are extremely thoughtful, and every detail is taken care of. In this era, in this alien world where the photon civilization is extremely low, there is such a powerful role, and Arthur’s admiration is taken for granted.
Even though it is a witch, may she be an admirable enemy?
So Arthur was even more eager to meet the witch. He wanted to see for himself how this witch is a powerful character.

After reaching the bottom of the cave, the front is a wide corridor leading to the deepest part of the cave. Look at this, in the room behind the iron gate at the end of the corridor, there is the witch waiting.
"Let's go." The Cavaliers said to Bediville: "This witch is scheming and must not be relaxed."
"Yeah." The great white wolf replied vaguely. He also tried to pretend to be a normal beast, hoping to fool the witch who was about to face. Although he also knows that his serial movements should have exposed his identity. The witch is very likely to monitor the deep caves just now and see the two of them move.
There is a wide and deep corridor with no half organs. This kind of environment is also not suitable for trapping, the witch is estimated to give up doing so.
In any case, Arthur and Bedyville walked safely into the iron gate, looking at the iron gate that seemed to be too thick to push, and made a moment of stay.
Arthur tried to find an organ next to the door, because he knew that such a thick iron gate could not be opened by his own power, and the witch himself could not open the door by his own power, that is, another institution that opened the door.
And the institution did not deliberately hide. An old pull ring attached to the chain, so quietly lying on the wall on the right side of the iron gate.
Arthur tried to pull the iron ring without thinking, and the organization was successfully triggered. The iron door slowly opened with a sound of gear rotation.
At the moment the door opens, a strong herbal scent comes to the fore. It's hard to describe it as a pleasant aroma or an unpleasant smell. The smell is quite complicated, it should be the smell of at least twenty kinds of scented herbs mixed together, and Arthur's research on herbs is not deep, he can only judge the smell of lavender with this smell.
If a large section of the road is used to prevent intruders from organ traps, it is the same thing as the labyrinth of the mantle. It can be said that it is the true residence of the witch and the place where she lives. There are a lot of wonderful wooden cabinets in this large room, which are estimated to be used to store the dried herbs. Some of the hooks on the side are still hanging on the dried herbs. There are indeed lavender (other herbs are Arthur one) Can't recognize it!).
The witch seems not to be in the warehouse where the medicine is stored. Where did she go?
There is also a door in front that connects another room to it. Is there there?
"It seems to be a little hot" Bettiville suddenly whispered.
"Yeah." Arthur also replied. Although not very hot, the heat here and the coldness of the caves they have just walked are completely two extremes. And the heat seems to be uploaded from the floor. Arthur just walked on the ground with two legs, and he was wearing boots, and he felt far less like the four-legged Bediville. The more the cave is, the colder it is, the more it is not suitable for people to live in, but because of the influence of this geothermal heat, the situation is completely reversed. Is it safer to sit on the bottom of the cave than the wet cave above?
No wonder there are so many herbs hanging here, and they are hung with hooks. This bottom cave should be dry and comfortable for the influence of geothermal heat, giving the medicine an ideal air-drying condition.
This kind of heat can be found under the ground, either because there is a hot spring under the water, or because there is lava below it (although it should be far apart). The United Kingdom is already in the Mediterranean Sea - near the Himalayas volcanic seismic belt. Occasionally, a little hot resource is normal. The interesting thing is that the witch has found such a hole with geothermal resources to live. Here is the fortress of the witch, her comfort zone. If there is no outsider's disturbance, she can probably stay here in the wild, completely without worrying about the outside world.
But such a witch was actually spreading the Black Death, killing countless nationals in England and France. Is Arthur a reasonable argument for it? Of course, Arthur is not the kind of person who will listen to rumors. He decided to wait until he saw the witch, and after confirming it with his own eyes, it was true that the witch’s spread of the Black Death was true.
He passed through the storage room and pushed the door open. Among the halls that were illuminated by the torches and were empty, only one woman in a black cloak was waiting for Arthur and Bedyville.
"You are finally here." The witch turned and looked at Arthur.
At that moment, the Cavaliers suddenly froze.
What appeared in front of him was his mother, Iglesia -
Or at least, a woman who looks exactly the same as Iglesia.
