It wasn't just the house that was decorated in the style of the Odin Empire. As he followed Marguerite through the underground palace, Connor discovered that everything was decorated in the style of the Odin Empire. Moreover, from the degree of corrosion of these decorations, this underground palace didn't seem to be as old as Connor had imagined. It was at most eighty to a hundred years old!
A hundred years ago, someone actually built such a large underground palace near Loen? And it's in the style of the Odin Empire? Who was the one who built this underground palace? What secrets are hidden in this underground palace that are related to the forbidden Blood Witchcraft?
A series of questions appeared in Connor's mind, making him feel a strong interest in the underground palace that Marguerite had brought him to.
After walking for about five minutes with these questions in mind, Connor saw the control center of the entire underground palace's array that he had studied on the blueprint that Marguerite had given him — that tombstone!
At this moment, only the base of the tombstone and a small part of the tombstone were still standing. The rest of the tombstone had already been torn apart and scattered on the ground. Moreover, there were clear traces of an alchemy bomb explosion on the tombstone, but he could still vaguely see that the tombstone was originally magnificent.
After carefully sweeping his gaze over the tombstone, Connor discovered a detail. The tombstone scattered on the ground had traces of abrasion on it. It seemed that before the tombstone was blown up, the inscriptions on the tombstone seemed to have been scraped off by someone. And from the looks of it, it was very new, and the inscriptions on the tombstone seemed to have been scraped off only about a month ago. With this thought in mind, Connor pretended as if nothing had happened and glanced at Marguerite in front of him!
If his judgment wasn't wrong, the inscriptions on the tombstone were very likely scraped off by Marguerite. And the reason why Marguerite scraped off the tombstone was because of the secrets recorded on the tombstone that Marguerite didn't want to tell others.
While Connor was observing the tombstone, Marguerite didn't remain idle. She started chanting again, and the ancient-looking ring on her finger blossomed with a dark red light.
After a short while, Connor's complexion changed slightly. His spiritual force sensed a subtle but clear energy fluctuation that was developing around the tombstone!
Under the influence of those energy fluctuations, the tiles around the tombstone immediately caved in and turned into a flight of stairs leading down.
"This is the path to the second floor of the underground palace. The Azedine Serpents are not far below. Connor, do you have any good ideas?" Marguerite asked Connor in a deep voice.
Without directly answering Marguerite's question, Connor retrieved a crude bronze mask from his space ring and tossed it to Marguerite.
Catching the mask that Connor tossed to her, a trace of doubt flashed across Marguerite's beautiful eyes. She asked Connor, "What is this?"
"As you can see, this is a mask. Do you see the card slot on the left side of the mask? Insert a magic stone into the slot and the mask will last for three hours. Its function is to filter the air you breathe! "Connor explained to Marguerite as he pointed to the slot on the mask that could hold a magic stone.
"What are you going to do next?" From Connor's explanation, Marguerite understood the function of the mask in her hand. Marguerite was very interested in what method Connor would use to deal with the Azedine Serpents below the stairs.
"Just watch!" While answering Marguerite's question, Connor fished out two fist-sized bluish-black stone balls from his space ring and attached his mind power to them. Under the control of Connor's mind power, the two stone balls slowly entered the second floor of the underground palace.
As the stone balls entered, the world of the underground palace under the stairs also appeared under Connor's mind power. He could clearly see that the second floor of the underground palace had the same rich style of the Odin Empire as the first floor of the underground palace. However, compared to the first floor, the rooms on the second floor were filled with Azedine Serpents with pale white scales and very small eyes. They were the Azedine Serpents described in the ancient books!
Connor's mind power swept the surroundings and found that Marguerite's description was not too far off. There were about a hundred adult Azedine Serpents on the second floor of the underground palace, less than a hundred and fifty adult Azedine Serpents, and about five hundred juvenile Azedine Serpents. There were about fifty more Azedine Serpents than he had expected. The information about the Azedine Serpents that Marguerite had given him was not too far off from the truth.
However … Connor shook his head with a wry smile as he used his mind power to sense the blood-red boundary in the core area of the second floor of the underground palace. He had been tricked by Marguerite again! How could there be a restriction here? Anyone who wasn't blind would be able to see it. Marguerite said that he only needed to help her pass through the outer area of the second floor of the underground palace occupied by the Azedine Serpents. She would take care of the rest.
Connor's mind power triggered the restriction he had set up in the stone balls. He randomly found a place with a lot of Azedine Serpents and threw it down. Connor immediately withdrew his mind power from the second floor of the underground palace!
"We will enter the second floor in three minutes. It will be full of poisonous smoke with a pungent smell. You must wear a mask. Do not inhale this poisonous gas. The poisonous smoke will last for five hours! Although the poisonous smoke will help us destroy the Azedine Serpents' sense of smell, it is inevitable that some of them will fall through the net. Be prepared for battle! " Connor then put on a mask and took out the Castilla Staff from his space ring. He looked at Marguerite quietly.
"You're well prepared!" After praising Connor, Marguerite also put on the gas mask Connor gave her. After three minutes, she took the lead to walk down the stairs and entered the second floor of the underground palace.
However, when Connor and Marguerite appeared on the second floor one after another, the scene on the second floor shocked Marguerite. The second floor of the underground palace was filled with blue-black fog that emitted a sweet smell. The fog was so thick that she couldn't see her fingers in front of her. Accompanied by this fog were hundreds of Azedine Serpents screaming in pain. Such a strange and terrifying scene made this place look like an evil hell described in myths.
Marguerite turned her head and looked deeply at Connor. Through the gas mask, Connor could see Marguerite's complicated and fearful eyes.
