Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 170 Bloody Throne
It was obvious that Thaddeus had something else in mind, but Marvin would not distrust Black Hand just because of his instigation.
There is a reason why his attitude toward the devil is always different from other evil forces.
Although the devils are hateful and evil, they have principles.
They are hypocritical, they are vicious, but they follow the rules.
No matter how dirty things are in secret, at least on the surface, everything is in order.
Demons rarely invade on a large scale. For them, this is not a decent thing to do - unless the opponent is their mortal enemy, the Demon of the Abyss.
They prefer to use contracts and agreements to play with people's hearts and ultimately lure people into depravity.
Marvin knew that when dealing with the devil, as long as he calculated the principles and bottom line and did not let his emotions be affected by the other party, everything would be within control.
Of course he knew that there was no principle of free service in the devil's world. Even if the other party was his grandfather, Marvin would not lose his vigilance against Diloth.
This is the awareness that must be had when dealing with the devil.
…
At that moment, he smiled at Thaddeus: "Thanks for the reminder."
Then he looked at the thief beside him who looked a little fearful and asked: "Are you going or not?"
The entrance to the tomb was right in front of them, looking like an ordinary staircase entrance.
But in fact, Marvin knew that the demons could not enter this space.
Demons with pure blood were rejected by the Bloody Emperor's tomb. This was designed by the tyrant when he built the tomb.
Although it is unknown how he did it, neither Blackhand nor Thaddeus could get in.
That's why Thaddeus entrusted the black knight Cang'er to help him collect the debt. As for the content of the debt collection, Marvin was not interested.
The only ones who can enter the tomb are Marvin and the tomb robber.
He is seeking the other party's opinion.
The thief was stunned for a moment, then showed a hint of curiosity: "Although I am afraid of death, but since I am already here, I might as well go in and take a look."
"I also want to know what the differences are between the tombs of the famous tyrants in the history of the Underdark."
Marvin nodded.
He had been forced to threaten the tomb robbers because, on the one hand, he couldn't let the Black Knight get more help; on the other hand, he needed a qualified pathfinder to help him find the entrance to the tomb. Who knew that Black Hand would show up halfway?
Now that he has found the entrance to the tomb, it doesn't matter whether the tomb robbers go in or not.
With Ma Wen's strength, he is naturally not afraid that the tomb robbers will have other ideas.
If he really dared to take the Blade of Sodom, he would not have surrendered so easily in front of the Devil City.
The two of them then went straight into the tomb.
Thaddeus just looked at their backs and did nothing.
Outside the entrance of the tomb was still the Devil City, and he could not do anything to Marvin who had devil blood; but inside the tomb was another time and space.
…
The stairs were dark and steep, and even the two agile and tall people found their feet slippery when they walked on them.
Marvin didn't know where Cang Ge'er had reached, but it was always better to be as fast as possible.
Xiaofei, as always, carries out his mission conscientiously.
He walked in front, showing several excellent detection abilities.
There were many deeply hidden mechanisms, and he could tell from a distance.
That's professionalism.
Marvin, who is also a legendary wanderer, is far inferior to him. Although he can also avoid those traps, at least it is not as easy as before.
Thinking of this, Marvin's gaze towards Xiaofei became somewhat profound.
It doesn’t seem like a bad idea to have one more tomb robber in the territory, right?
…
"The footprints and traces were left four minutes ago. They probably didn't go far."
“It’s still those three people.”
At the end of the stairs is a cramped stone chamber.
There are three doors in the stone chamber, all of which can be easily pushed open, and behind each door there is an unfathomable tunnel.
Xiao Fei half-knelt on the ground and said seriously: “They took this road without hesitation.”
He pointed to the door on the far right.
"That's fake." Marvin said calmly.
Xiao Fei was stunned for a moment, but Marvin didn't wait for him to speak and walked straight into the door on the far left.
Most of the previous conversations between Marvin and Black Hand were kept secret from the tomb robber, but there were only two things that Black Hand secretly told Marvin.
One of them is about this stone chamber.
The three roads here lead to different places, and only one road will eventually lead to the tyrant's tomb.
Marvin believed more in the path Black Hand told him than the "clue" that the Black Knight deliberately left for him.
The Black Knight didn't leave any trace along the way, so how come he only left footprints at this fork in the road?
Only an idiot whose entire soul has been deceived by the devil could come up with such an obvious fraud.
As for whether Black Hand's information was wrong - if Di Luo Si wanted to harm him, he would have died countless times already.
The two of them moved forward quickly in the tunnel in silence.
To Marvin's surprise, the Bloody Emperor's tomb was not as luxurious as he had imagined.
This is just an ordinary-looking underground palace.
Both the architecture and the structure are shockingly shabby.
As the two of them went deeper, even the traps became fewer.
"Is that great emperor so confident?"
"You didn't even deploy a few monsters to guard the tomb?"
Marvin was secretly puzzled. In his previous life, he had been to several emperors' tombs, all of which were very dangerous places. Not only were there monsters and guardians everywhere, but the roads were also extremely complicated.
But the tomb of the Bloody Emperor is obviously not in this category.
Soon, they reached the bottom of the tunnel.
Faintly, they also heard the sound of fierce fighting.
The tomb robber's face changed and he showed fear.
"Come to think of it, this is the first time I've seen a legend like you."
Marvin smiled and said, "It's quite a rare thing that he can become a legend even though he doesn't like fighting."
The tomb robber scratched his head awkwardly and said honestly, "Actually, I just don't dare to stay with those two devils."
"Of course I am interested in this tomb, but the Black Knight Cang Gol is simply my nightmare. I really don't want to get close to him."
Ma Wenqi asked: "Then how dare you stay with me?"
The thief said honestly: "I just heard it. They all called you Sir Marvin ."
"Although your disguise is very good and you look like a drow warrior, I didn't recognize you at first, but those two demons will never make a mistake."
"There's no other Marvin in the current Feinan, right?"
"If you are really the one from White River Valley, then there is no doubt that you can be trusted."
Ma Wen didn't expect that the other party followed him for this reason.
His heart was slightly moved. It turned out that the legendary speed was still somewhat useful.
The Baihe Valley is currently undergoing a thriving development and needs all kinds of talents.
Although the profession of tomb
But now is not the time to use your fame to recruit new followers.
The Black Knight Cang Gol is his biggest problem right now.
"You can stay here or find a place to hide."
"I'll go take a look first."
After saying that, he quickly entered stealth mode and moved forward.
…
At the end of the tunnel is a small secret room.
There were figures everywhere in the secret room, which made Ma Wen frown.
As expected, the Black Knight Cang Gol had already gotten there first, but at this point, he encountered strong resistance.
It was a emerald green nine-headed snake!
The body of the Hydra is fused with a huge stone door, and its nine heads grow out from the surrounding stone walls.
The stone gate was tightly closed, and it seemed that only by killing this monster could one reach the other end of the stone gate.
"Black Hand said that behind this stone gate is where the corpse of the Bloody Emperor lies."
"It is said that the tyrant was not buried in a coffin or anything like that, but his body was left here along with the bloody throne."
While sneaking, Marvin calmly analyzed the situation at hand.
Cang Geer held a spear in his hand, and the power of darkness continued to erupt from his hand.
The temple raider was just roaming the battlefield - the secret room was too narrow and not suitable for him to operate.
What surprised Marvin was that the legendary wizard did not take any action at all. He just stood there stupidly in a safe corner, occasionally casting a few negative spells at the Hydra.
This is totally unreasonable... Although the Hydra monster has a legendary template, its resistance to spells is not necessarily very high.
It would be very difficult to chop down a monster with thick skin and flesh, so it would be more effective if the wizard casts a few spells.
Marvin did not act randomly, but turned on [Sensing the Earth].
The next second, he instantly understood the reason.
"No soul?"
Marvin sneered at the backs of the legendary wizard and the black knight. After confirming that this was not a trap, he finally took action.
But his target was not the Black Knight, but the stone door!
The nine heads of the Hydra were all entangled with Cang Gol, and naturally they could not respond in time to Marvin's clever cut.
The next second, Marvin appeared in front of the stone gate.
Amid the Black Knight's angry roar, Marvin walked directly towards the seemingly closed stone door!
His body hit the stone door directly.
However, a surprising scene happened. The stone door seemed to be non-existent and Marvin walked right in!
It all happened so suddenly that even the Hydra guarding the stone gate didn't have time to react.
Not to mention the flawless Black Knight who was entangled by the Hydra!
“How is it possible!?”
"This door is actually a trick?"
The black knight roared, brandished his spear, and charged forward fiercely.
…
On the other side of the stone gate, Marvin remained highly vigilant.
The strategies from the previous life are not completely useless after all.
At least that guy revealed the relationship between the stone gate mechanism and the Hydra monster.
The stone gate is just a decoy. Just find a pet to attract the Hydra's attention. As long as you are agile enough, you can break in at any time.
But behind the stone chamber lies the truly severe test.
Marvin looked at the bloody throne standing on a pile of bones not far away with a solemn expression.
…
