Chapter 14 Footprints and Conjectures
Around 4 pm, Tianyi and the Earl came outside the Colosseum. This place was not well regulated in the Middle Ages and was not protected by the government. (To be continued 89 free novel reading "")
Tianyi took the count to a stone wall in the Colosseum and stopped. He didn't raise his hood. The count could only see his lower half of his face.
"Well ... I think it's good here," Tianyi said.
The count looked left and right, and said, "Why?" You just pick an iconic building, stand under a stone wall, and tell me it's good. Do you want me to bring a few people to dig a big pit here overnight and throw the treasure in?
"Master ... this way ... not right." The count expressed his doubts euphemistically.
Tianyi knew that he had misunderstood his meaning and showed a weird smile. "I'm going to tell you something next. It must be very strange to you, but that's true, you have to accept it as soon as possible."
The earl was mentally prepared for this situation. After encountering Tianyi anyway, he had seen at least two or three strange events beyond his own understanding.
"Master, tell me," the count replied.
Tianyi said: "Under this Colosseum, there is a huge pyramid-shaped temple."
The count's eyes were straight, his mouth half open, and the corners of his eyes jumped involuntarily.
Tian Tian continued, "I plan to start from here ..." He pointed to his feet: "Dig a passage, if we keep vertical downward, we can touch at a depth of 200 meters to 230 meters. To an entrance to that temple. "
"Hmm ..." The count just wanted to ask him now, how to dig?
In the Middle Ages, where there was engineering technology that could get into such a deep underground, and even if it was, Count Borge was a fugitive wanted by the Holy See and monitored by countless dark forces, he could never hire a hundred people. Engineering team, do civil engineering in the Colosseum?
Tianyi did n’t wait for him to ask this question, and he said directly, "I can do the construction of the passage alone, and it can be completed in about three days. You just need to remember this place where we stand at the moment, after three days, you Take the treasure from the temporary hiding place, and find some loyal and reliable people to take care of it. We will carry the treasure to the underground temple in batches, and all operations will be completed within a week. "
The earl was relieved when he heard this. He almost forgot that this wizard was in front of him. How could it be rare to dig a tunnel for such a master, maybe someone would cook a pot of eyeballs, and some cat urine, Saying a few spells, a large snake emerged from the center of the earth to help him clear the ground.
"Okay, I must do it." After the count answered, he thought of something again and said, "Yes, master, in the next three days, just in case ..."
As soon as Tian interrupted him, "You don't have to make abnormal behaviors, as usual, there is no danger."
…………
Following the flashlight of the flashlight, Venissa looked in the direction pointed by the consultant, and carefully observed for a few seconds, she almost cried out. (Unfinished 89 free novel reading "") The wall on the side of this passage, the uneven wall surface composed of soil and stone, can dimly recognize a human-like imprint.
"How can this be ..." Venissa whispered to herself.
The adviser said to her in a natural tone: "Someone must have put it on his face."
"You mean, some 700 years ago, someone used their face to grind the walls here?" Venissa asked.
"Oh ... how do you know that the owner of this face printed his face on the wall?" The consultant laughed. "And, look at the footprints on the ground."
Venissa lowered her head and shone the stairs with a flashlight, but she could not see the hall of fame. There were more than a dozen people walking in front of her, and her footprints were messy.
However, the consultant sees things differently from others. He can see the only and inconspicuous "face print" on the wall under poor lighting conditions, which is enough to show that there is nothing on the way. Information can escape his observation, memory and analysis.
"There are footprints going upwards." Venisa came out a little, and Vinessa understood.
She also recognized the few footprints on the ground, but she just casually replied: "What's weird, the Templars who transported the treasure had to return to the ground from this passage. Right. "
The consultant saw the lights moving away, and said, "Let's keep up with the team."
Venissa followed him back, accelerating slightly.
The consultant explained while walking: "This passage is undoubtedly affected by some special force. After the closure, many traces left 800 years ago remain the same. I noticed the problem of footprints from the moment I entered, almost Our newly left footprints are similar, so it is of great reference value.
In fact, the consultant probably already guessed what was happening in this passage, because it was connected to the fortress of the Darkwater clan, so it should be affected by the internal forces of the ruins.
Inside the fortress of the Darkwater tribe, living things can't feel the physiological needs, time passing, etc. This is a characteristic produced by the "eternal core" as an energy-based facility. In fact, it is not just living things. China will also enter a state similar to no space and no time. This passage has not been considered inside the ruins, it has been affected. This situation is bound to become more apparent when the expedition actually enters the ruins.
The consultant continued: "It was difficult to tell exactly how many people were going down. People in our team were carrying equipment, and when the Templars went down, they should all have treasures. Without knowing the weight data Under the circumstances, it is very difficult to distinguish from the depth of the footprint. So I will talk about the upward footprint.
From the top of the aisle to all the steps between that face, I only saw the two people's footprints walking up. But starting with that face, there have been three people so far. Then ... the footprint that disappeared probably belonged to the owner of that face, and I saw that the footprints that he had raised were only the soles of the feet, deep and powerful, and striding greatly, as if ... "
"Run away?" Venissa answered.
"Yeah, run away." The consultant responded, "I can imagine what happened when the man escaped to the position where his face was left, causing his face to hit the wall. You notice, There is no palm print near the face. Whether a normal person is hit, shoved, or beaten, when his face hits the wall, his two hands will always instinctively protect the front of the face, or at least hold it against the wall. Right, but there isn't.
What's more puzzling to me is that the footprints have disappeared here, but no corpse has been left. If there is a headless corpse nearby, and there is a personal head on the steps not far away, it all makes sense. For example, when he fled here, he was beheaded, his head flew towards the wall, etc., but there was no body ... was it something that was eaten after death? "
"Don't be malicious and scary," said Venissa in a bad voice.
"If we are attending a gall battling conference, and you are wearing a swimsuit and holding my arm forward, then this is the right time to scare people." A scary time that I think is appropriate: "I'm just guessing right now, and I feel afraid it's your own problem."
"Okay, I'm convinced you." At this moment Venissa felt that the consultant was a freak. Normal people carefully check, take pictures, and take back the conclusions that can be drawn from the analysis. This guy just looked at him when he passed by and got the same answer in his mind. That's all, he can instantly construct a scenario like a courage test in his head to perform irony, in exchange for others to say this, Venissa must have thought that this person has been yy for many years and imagined n kinds of food Her tofu scene.
"Well ... the footprints have been added again, it's interesting." As he was about to catch up with the army in front, the consultant stopped again, and he shone his flashlight at his feet. Like the owner of India, he is also running. "
Venissa glanced and asked, "What about the other two footsteps masters? Even the two who were alive, did they also run up?"
"Look at it yourself." The consultant's flashlight was slightly crooked to the side. "Can you see clearly, these two footprints exist to the top of the passage."
"It's normal to walk ..." Venissa wondered. "The people who left successfully leave, but the running is interrupted."
"It's not surprising that there is a danger of catching up behind and talents will run." The consultant took a picture of the walls on both sides, and even looked at the above his head: "The fourth footprint disappeared here, but he left nothing behind Other marks, of course, have no corpses. "
Venissa thought for a while and said, "I guess what happened between the Templars, maybe there was a conflict, there is no body to explain it well, they may have died in the hand of the capable person, and that capable person There is a way to kill corpses on the spot. "
"Well ... it's a reasonable explanation." The consultant nodded. "But there is one more abnormal thing."
"Also?" Winissa said.
"From the perspective of the footprints, the number of people going down is unknown, but it should be in the range of a few people to a dozen people, and only two people came up in the end." The consultant paused and said, "However ... It was just the footprints left by the treasure transport team once. The two people who were alive had different footprints, so it was impossible for the same person to leave twice.
He looked back at Winissa:
Of course. It ’s not just a question of one or two people. My question is ... Can the Templar ’s treasure be shipped in one round trip? How many people are needed to move it?

Venissa froze, her expression obviously changed: "Is there any other entrance to this relic?"
The consultant shrugged and said, "I don't know, but it is obviously impossible for more than a hundred people to carry a sack of treasure each. I would rather believe that a total of a dozen people came down that year, and they have long since Knowing that this was a life of nine deaths, they chose to take only the most valuable treasures in the treasure, and did not bring much gold and silver.
The two men who finally went out alive, they either divided the rest of the gold and silver, or hid somewhere else. There is also a small chance that the two returned to the ruins and had to transport the treasure a little bit more, but this time they failed to escape alive, so they did not leave a trace of the return the second time. Of course, there are other possibilities. There are all kinds of chances. Looking at the upward footprints, I can only speculate so much. "
Venissa said, "Would you like to lead the team ..."
"No need, in fact, these are just what I see in my eyes, and naturally come to mind, what the life and death of those people had nothing to do with me." The consultant replied: "Besides, if you go to the front now, you will not see anything Now, according to my speculation on the depth of the channel ... "
"Find the entrance!" Someone shouted in front of the team.
The consultant crooked his neck and spread his hands.
Venissa always thought that the other party was just a weaker hacker than herself, and she was a little bit clever. It is not surprising that she could become an inverse cross-arms division. But as she walked down this road, she just shuddered. The boy was not only a little "smart", he was not a normal human at all.
"From now on, don't leave my sight, it's better to stay within five meters of me." Vinissa squinted at him: "If you dare to play any tricks, no matter how far away I can go, I can advise You don't take risks by yourself. "
"Okay, I don't care. This surveillance is what I deserve." The consultant walked down with a smile.
At this time, the front of the line, the steps at the end of the passage and the of the ruins form a funnel-shaped angle, but the is not very steep. Although it looks like the is a black metal wall, the material is no different from the pyramid spire The top is also covered with small textures, but the peculiar eyesight of dark water can be seen through. The wall is just a disguise ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It is similar to a virtual projection, and you can enter the ruins directly through it.
The problem is that below this level of projection is a relatively large space. After passing through the inclined plane, it will fall, about a dozen meters high. Those who have a level ability can jump down if they are prepared. There should be no problem, but people below this level may be injured if they jump down.
The dark water came to the end of the passage and stopped on the stairs. He didn't go up to touch the of the ruins, but was thinking about what he could do to make sense. After all, he is going to play John DeSoto, so he can't mess around. He couldn't possibly turn back and say, "This wall is a projection, I can see through it, and I can visually observe that there is a drop of more than ten meters below without a flashlight."
If he did that, Suyside behind him would probably ask immediately: "What is the purpose of your coming to Earth?"
Darkwater pondered for a long time, and thought of a countermeasure: just pretend to know nothing, step on the air with one foot, and then quickly turn back to grab the stairs, so that others will pull him up, and the projected matter is considered by him "unintentionally "Medium" found. Then throw a stone or something through the projection, tell them the depth, and let them prepare the rope.
