Connor gave Marguerite a look of admiration. He never expected that working with Marguerite would bring him such benefits. He slowly looked around the castle in front of him, and said calmly, "Marguerite, is the underground palace you mentioned under this castle?"
"No!" This time, Connor didn't get the answer right. Marguerite shook her head, and pointed to the cypress forest not far from the castle. "Where is the underground palace? I obtained information regarding the underground palace from that elder of mine. All I know is that the underground palace is located near Loen, but there's no specific location. I have to say that the murderer who killed Vidal was very skilled at destroying corpses and evidence. In order to investigate Vidal's death, I came here several times to investigate the crime scene and gather evidence.
"I guess I was lucky. It was also because of these several investigations that I discovered that the cypress forest not far from the castle was very similar to the terrain that marked the location of the underground palace. I really did find the underground palace here. Speaking of which, I have to thank the murderer who killed Vidal!" Marguerite's eyes were focused on Connor, and her tone was full of teasing.
Seeing that Marguerite had already discovered that he was the one who killed Vidal, Connor continued to ask Marguerite, "So, the dance at Mr. Harvey's birthday party at Pawar Manor …?"
"He brought me to the underground palace. Let's dance together as a way of thanking him!" Marguerite winked playfully at Connor.
Connor shook his head with a wry smile. Since all his questions were answered, he didn't dwell on this matter. He looked up at the setting sun in the sky, and asked Marguerite, "When do we start?"
"Midnight! Under non-aggressive circumstances, we can only enter the underground palace between midnight and one o 'clock in the morning! "Marguerite took out an exquisite pocket watch and glanced at the time.
Connor nodded and scanned the surroundings with his mental strength. After confirming that there was no one nearby, he took out five crystal balls from his space ring and placed them on the edge of Yang Shulin in a pentagram.
After placing the five crystal balls, Connor's expression became serious. He suddenly chanted, and his hands flew up and down, striking several spells on the crystal balls. Following Connor's actions, a faint yellow light immediately appeared on the crystal balls, but the next second, the crystal balls merged into the ground under Yang Shulin.
"Connor, this magic circle of yours is very interesting!" Seeing Connor's actions, Marguerite seemed to be very interested and said, "Not only can it hide energy fluctuations, block sound, and some protective effects, but it also has some other functions!"
Connor wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and finished setting up the magic circle. He said to Marguerite, "You better hope that you and I don't have to use those functions of the magic circle!"
Hearing Connor's words, Marguerite took a deep look at Connor and said, "It seems that you've prepared a lot for this operation?"
"If possible, I don't want to fight an unprepared battle!" Connor casually found a big poplar tree in the forest and sat under the roots.
Hearing Connor's words, Marguerite didn't speak again. She followed Connor's example and sat down in the forest, quietly waiting for midnight to enter the underground palace.
For wizards like Connor and Marguerite, a few hours wasn't too long. It was done after a short meditation. Soon, it was midnight. Accompanied by the sound of the pocket watch in their pocket, Connor and Marguerite stood up at the same time in the forest. The two of them looked at each other. Marguerite solemnly took out a dark red quaint ring from her space ring and put it on her right index finger.
In the next second, Marguerite cut one of her slender fingers and dripped the blood from the wound onto the dark red ring on her right index finger.
"One drop, two drops, three drops …" This dark red ring seemed to be drinking Marguerite's blood. Not a drop of Marguerite's blood was left on the ring. After "drinking" 13 drops of Marguerite's blood in a row, this dark red ring seemed to be full. A layer of demonic blood-red light appeared on the surface of the ring.
Seeing this layer of blood-red light, Marguerite's expression eased a lot. She hurriedly stopped the bleeding on her finger and took out a bottle of light red potion from her space ring and swallowed it.
The bewitching red light on the ring lasted for approximately three seconds. Then, under Connor's attentive gaze, a white door of light emerged from the poplar forest!
Nodding at Connor, Marguerite walked into the light door. Connor hesitated for a moment, but followed behind Marguerite.
A few seconds later, the vigilant Connor found himself in a room in an underground palace. Marguerite was also in this room.
"Odin style?"
Looking at the decorations in the room, Connor's eyes flashed with doubt. As someone who had studied history in Greene University, Connor immediately determined the style of this room's decorations.
If this room's decorations were from the Byzantine era, Connor wouldn't be surprised at all. After all, there were many Byzantine ruins in the Kaman Empire. However, this room's decorations were from the Odin Empire, thousands of kilometers away from Loen. This was completely beyond Connor's expectations.
"We are now on the first floor. We will first go to that tombstone to enter the second floor. There are some hidden mechanisms here. Connor, follow behind me. Follow me wherever I go!" Marguerite turned her head and seriously instructed Connor.
"Understood!"
Connor replied softly. For some reason, he had a feeling that this place wasn't simple.
After thinking about it carefully, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it. According to Marguerite, this place was related to the Blood Witchcraft she cultivated. What was Blood Witchcraft? It was a forbidden technique that was prohibited from being cultivated. How could anything related to Blood Witchcraft be simple?
Following behind Marguerite, Connor walked out of the room and walked quickly in the underground palace. Along the way, Connor's curiosity grew.
