There was indeed a Greenwich Wizard here, and it was right under the ground where the Demon Bart had crawled out. The huge stone was a cover.
In fact, there was a bigger space inside, but it was only relative.
The underground space wasn't big enough to accommodate Li Jie's group. Most of them had to stay on the surface, and at the same time, they needed people to look around.
But the situation with the Greenwich Wizard was not what Li Jie had imagined.
Originally, seeing that Lan was not very friendly with the Greenwich Wizards, Li Jie thought that the two would have a conflict. But it turned out that he was thinking too much.
The expected conflict did not happen, because a dead person could not jump out of the grave to quarrel with you.
Well, this was the reality in front of Li Jie.
A Greenwich Wizard, for some reason, maybe Wizard Merlin had recorded something in the book. Or maybe he had discovered something on his way to pursue the true meaning of magic.
In short, no matter what the reason was, this Wizard brought his servant, the Goat-Horned Demon Bart, and entered hell in a special way.
And then, there was no then.
He was now lying here quietly, protected by a simple coffin made by Bart using stones. And he had been dead for nearly five years.
The coffin was very crude, and it seemed that the person who made it did not have much experience in folding, nor did he have the slightest artistic talent.
The knife marks made with a sharp weapon were still left on the outside of the stone coffin, and it looked very bumpy. With one look, it was obvious that this was made under a situation where they were pressed for time.
"It looks like this was Wizard Rooney's laboratory when he was alive." Because there was a small tombstone in front of the coffin, on which was the name of the Wizard when he was alive, Li Jie and Lan knew what the Wizard should be called.
This underground space could not be said to be very spacious, but the things were arranged in an orderly manner. Most of the furniture was made of the most common materials here.
A kind of black and gray hard stone. Unlike the crude coffin, these furniture were also made of the most coarse stone.
But it was obvious that the maker had put in a lot of effort. The furniture was finely polished. Li Jie suspected that it was not polished by hand.
He didn't think that a mage who came to Hell would be so bored as to spend a lot of time polishing his own furniture. Perhaps these were all created using magic.
This could explain why Bart's coffin seemed out of place with the rest of the furniture in the room.
Li Jie also saw a platform made of boulders. The platform was neat, and there was even a letter G in the middle of the platform. It looked like a decorative inscription.
"Looks like Wizard Rooney originally planned to stay here for a long time," Li Jie deduced after looking at the furniture.
"He's even in the mood to make artistic carvings and inscriptions on his furniture. It looks like he's really prepared to stay here for a long time."
"But why did he come here? And why did he die here? "Lan's brows were tightly knitted together. She threw the question to Bart.
"Because Master is conducting research here." Bart touched the coffin. Li Jie felt a chill run down his spine when he saw a demon doing such a thing.
"What research? Where are Wizard Rooney's books and magic notes? "Li Jie and Lan saw a bookshelf in the room, but they didn't see a single book.
The bookshelf proved that there used to be books here, or in other words, the mage's experiment notes. But now there was nothing. The only explanation was that Bart, who was still alive, took them away.
"Sir Wizard, this is Hell. Master died, and he didn't allow his magic knowledge to be left in Hell. "Bart lowered his head and touched the coffin.
"So where are the books?"
"They were burned according to Master's wishes."
"All?"
"All of them!"
"Then why did Wizard Rooney come here?" Li Jie continued to search the room. He was also curious about a mage appearing in Hell for no reason.
"I can't tell you, unreasonable stranger. I'm only loyal to mages, not humans. "Bart didn't like Li Jie's questioning. He seemed a little angry.
He raised his head and shouted in Li Jie's direction. He seemed to be cursing, but he spoke in the demon language, so Li Jie couldn't understand him.
"What is he saying?" Li Jie glanced at Lan.
"He's cursing you for being merciful." Lan's explanation confused Li Jie.
"Huh?"
"That's a curse in Hell," Lan explained. Well, because of the meaning of the vulgar language, Li Jie didn't plan to cause trouble for Bart.
"Then you should tell me what Wizard Rooney is doing here." Lan continued to answer Li Jie's question.
Bart's eyes seemed hesitant. His lips moved a few times, but he still didn't speak.
"There's a limit to my patience, Bart. If you weren't a servant of Wizard Greenwich, I could have ripped your soul out. I believe you saw that there's a Ghost Rider following us. "
"I think you understand what a Ghost Rider represents. They can torture your soul. The Spirit of Vengeance has the ability to make you wish you were dead." Lan used Johnny Blaze's identity to threaten Bart.
Of course, this could only be a threat because Johnny wasn't a real Ghost Rider. He was just a fake modified by Mephisto. But this didn't stop Bart from being scared.
For most demons in Hell, death wasn't scary. Creatures born in Hell were much less afraid of death than humans.
But they were afraid of the torture of the soul. It was a terrible punishment that would make them unable to reincarnate.
Maybe those powerful figures weren't afraid of the Ghost Rider's soul punishment, but there was definitely no one named Bart on the list.
Bart finally opened his mouth under Lan's threat. "I can't tell you everything because my master asked me to keep it a secret. This secret can only be told to the London Temple Mage, Baron Mordo. "
Li Jie and Lan looked at each other. The London Temple Mage was involved too?
"How do you want to inform Mordo? Write him a letter from Hell? "Li Jie asked Bart teasingly. Although he didn't know how this Wizard Rooney entered Hell.
But Li Jie didn't believe that an ordinary demon could leave Hell so easily.
"Of course not, I'm looking for an exit to return to the human world," Bart said, gesturing with his hands and feet.
"Now there's news of an exit to the human world spreading in the dark of Hell. Many demons are looking for this exit. Everyone is preparing to leave this place. "
Li Jie suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. "Who's spreading this news? And why do demons want to leave Hell? "
Bart glanced at Li Jie out of the corner of his eye, then said to Lan politely. "Sir Wizard, I don't know who's spreading this news."
"As for why they want to leave Hell. Because hell is almost over. "Bart revealed the shocking news.
"My master and I entered here more than 20 years ago. At that time, Earth Dragon Nesario was still the ruler of this land."
