Han Sen felt a bit of a headache. The only two clues he had were actually useless. It seemed that finding the artifact would not be an easy task.
"Let's split up. The grade 1 professionals will form a team of two. Edward and I will form a team. We can investigate in four different directions. Don't stray too far away. If you encounter any danger, try to escape and shout for help. The nearby teams will come to your rescue."
"Okay." No one had any objections to this arrangement.
In the end, Lolo and the Elf Archer Beck formed a team. Hilton and the little thief Grimm formed another team. They began to search the surrounding area. The future Supreme Magus Your Honor, as the chief attendant of The Brave, naturally followed behind the grade 1 swordsman.
Along the way, Archmage had more or less figured out the temperament of the team members. Beck was a typical cool guy. He didn't talk much and maintained a certain distance from everyone, including his twin attendants. According to the two brothers, they were also hired by Ryan's Adventurers Guild, so they didn't know much about the cool Elves.
However, as a master, Beck was the more popular type. He didn't have many requirements. As long as the twin brothers did their job well, he wouldn't ask for too much. He wouldn't force his attendants to do dangerous activities like some unscrupulous adventurers.
From the perspective of a teammate, the Elf Archer could be considered excellent. With his godly archery skills, he could always provide support when you needed it the most. In addition, the Elf race's excellent eyesight could also help the old thief Edward with reconnaissance and vigilance. Before Grimm joined the team, reconnaissance was usually done by Beck and Edward together.
Having such a reliable fellow as a companion would undoubtedly guarantee the team's safety to the greatest extent.
Therefore, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor could focus most of his energy on searching for the treasure.
Unlike the others, Luo Bu didn't think that the previous two clues were useless, especially the clue regarding the Cathedral. Though it was confirmed that there were no cathedral-like buildings in the Dungeon, the creature who discovered the Secret Treasure wouldn't have said so for no reason.
Archmage thought for a moment and asked, "Can we go to a higher place to take a look?"
"Sure." The elven archer nodded and answered as concisely as ever. Although Beck didn't know why the young scholar would make such a request, he trusted him because of his previous performance. After a pause, the elven archer pointed at a white tower not far away and said, "That should be the tallest building in the vicinity."
So, the three of them arrived at the white tower.
Pushing open the door, Luo Luo's field of vision was instantly filled with sacks. The sacks were stacked as high as a nine-story building, and the ground was littered with dried insect corpses that turned into dust when the wind blew. Luo Luo quickly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves and looked around. "Hey, is this a granary?"
"Well, this at least proves that the civilization ten thousand years ago wasn't destroyed by famine. Looking at the food reserves here, it should be enough for the whole city to eat for half a year, but for some reason, no one opened the door of this granary after that, leaving the food to be eaten by insects," speculated Rob.
The three did not waste any more time at the bottom of the tower. They climbed the stairs to the top of the tower. It seemed to be the resting place of the guards who guarded the granary. There were beds, tables, and other things of unknown significance. Unfortunately, when they opened the window, everything in the room had turned into dust.
Rob poked his head out of the window. This granary was indeed the tallest building in the southwest. From here, he could see almost all the buildings within a few miles.
Beck was also standing in front of a window. Like his little attendant, he was also silently looking at the buildings under his feet.
As an archer, he naturally knew that standing high would allow him to see further. But at the same time, the higher he stood, the smaller the scenery under his feet would become, especially in a relatively hidden place like the entrance to the tunnel. Even with the extraordinary eyesight of the elves, it was difficult to find it from a hundred meters away.
That was why Beck could not figure out why the little scholar insisted on climbing this tower.
In fact, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor was not looking for any tunnel. Instead, he was carefully looking at all the buildings within a two-mile radius with the help of the current favorable terrain.
Church … There definitely wasn't one in the inner city. Luo Bu had confirmed this before, but was it possible that the guy who discovered the secret treasure mistook another place for a church? Archmage's eyes moved slowly. Which building here had something in common with a church?
Finally, his eyes fell on a large domed building on the west side. It was the only building in the entire underground city that was decorated with colored glass. It looked like a bathing place.
Coincidentally, many churches liked to inlay various colored glass in their windows. On one hand, it was to increase the sense of sacredness. When the sunlight shone through the mottled colored glass, it would make people feel incomparably solemn. On the other hand, the craftsmen would use the colored glass to piece together mythological stories. When walking into the church, even illiterate believers could listen to the teachings of the gods from those paintings.
Rob withdrew his gaze and pointed to the bathing place in the distance. "Let's go there and check it out later."
Strictly speaking, the place was not in the direction they were supposed to search, but they were just aimlessly looking for the treasure. It was rare for the little scholar to find some clues, so the elven archer and grade 1 swordsman did not have any objections.
On the way, they also met the old thief Edward. After a discussion, they decided to go to the bathing place together.
If the treasure was really there, needless to say, the guardian would definitely be nearby. One more person meant one more layer of security.
So far, other than the rookie The Brave, no one had earned any money from this adventure. However, almost seven days had passed, so it was impossible to say that they were not anxious. According to the original plan, this was only a short-term adventure that would last between fifteen to twenty days. If everything went smoothly, they should be able to return to the surface tomorrow. However, they did not expect to see the shadow of the treasure until now.
There was another matter that had been weighing on Edward's heart. The old thief did not tell anyone about it. Recently, the charred corpses of the adventurer team that they met not long ago kept flashing in his mind. Edward could not help but have a bad premonition in his heart.
After entering the underground city, they did not meet Raúl's team again. Logically speaking, they should not know their current location, but for some reason, Edward had a feeling that he was being targeted by prey.
Could it be that he was too tired recently?
Hmm, no matter what, getting the treasure is the right thing to do.
