In an instant, Klein switched to the "Fool"'s state of looking down on everything, unfathomable and mysterious, and nodded slightly.
"Not bad."
The river before him suddenly surged, and the white words writhed and changed, reforming into:
"Below is the exploration process recorded by your loyal servant Arrodes. You can choose to speed up or skip certain scenes at any time."
After that sentence froze for two seconds, the scene suddenly pulled closer, and Klein appeared beside Ickons Bernard, but no one noticed him.
He looked around and felt that everything around him was alive, the scenery vivid, with no hint of falsehood, making it exceptionally immersive.
Can speed up or skip certain scenes... The true form of this mirror Arrodes is actually a virtual reality home theater, right? Klein couldn't help but complain.
He examined the members of "Mechanical Heart" again and found that the leader was an old man in a white priest's robe and a soft clerical cap, with an extremely kind face and a calm, gentle expression.
"Your Grace Archbishop, everyone is ready." Ickons approached the old man and bowed.
Archbishop... So this is the Archbishop of the Steam and Machinery Church's Backlund diocese, the demigod Hollamick Haydn? The Mechanical Heart is indeed cautious, not careless...
Perhaps they even carry a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact and have done divination in advance, since they have the Mystery Pryer pathway. Fortunately, I can basically confirm that the gray fog's anti-divination or divination-interference ability is like the "Blasphemy Card", causing results to appear the most normal, natural, and least suspicious. Otherwise, maybe some things would be exposed...
But my meeting with Miss Sharon has a certain probability of being reproduced, because it is not harmful to me. It depends on whether the "Wraith"'s instinct to interfere with divination can affect the "Mechanical Heart"'s attempt. Wait, the "Mechanical Heart" is likely relying on Arrodes. Given its performance just now and before, it wouldn't be impossible for it to conveniently pixelate things to please me... Klein thought with some realization.
At that moment, Hollamick Haydn drew a triangular holy emblem on his chest:
"Begin the operation. God will bless us."
Nearly ten Beyonders descended one after another. Klein followed closely, without "fast-forwarding" at all.
He had always been curious about the fighting style of "Mechanical Heart" at medium and low sequences and planned to take this opportunity to witness it.
In addition, what a demigod actually looks like when they act, and what secrets are hidden in the Amon family tomb, were also matters of great interest to him.
The staircase polished from black marble had withstood the erosion of one or two thousand years of time, still maintaining sufficient hardness without any signs of corrosion. The members of "Mechanical Heart" followed it down to the underground, where they saw asymmetrical stone pillars characteristic of the Fourth Epoch and axe-cut marks.
Those pillars stood on both sides of a wide road, ahead of which was a huge, heavy, double-leafed dark gray stone door.
The stone door had already cracked open a gap wide enough for two people to walk side by side, inside which was deep darkness.
The members of "Mechanical Heart" did not rush in. Carrying lanterns with good illumination, they carefully searched the peripheral area and found nothing of value.
"According to the pre-planned plan, the first group will do initial clearing." After obtaining the Archbishop's consent, Ickons pressed down on his hat, flattening his fluffy hairstyle.
Clearing? Klein chewed on the word as he stood nearby.
As he was puzzling, the two most robust and stalwart male members of "Mechanical Heart" each put down the black rectangular boxes on their backs and opened them.
Inside the rectangular boxes were, respectively, a thick and heavy iron-black cannon-barrel-like item engraved with dense, strange inscriptions, and a complex and exquisite strange firearm with a pale gold ammunition belt inserted into it.
One of the two members shouldered the cannon-barrel-like item and walked heavily to the open stone door.
Another member of "Mechanical Heart" picked up the strange firearm, hooked the ammunition belt, and followed behind, slightly slower by two steps.
The two exchanged a glance, and the cannon-barrel-like item on the former's shoulder quickly lit up, outlining noisy and blazing marks and patterns.
Boom!
A golden fireball like a miniature sun flew out from the "cannon barrel" and into the darkness.
Rumble!
The ground trembled slightly, and a fierce light burst out from the gap.
The "Mechanical Heart" member holding the "cannon barrel" noticeably sank, his feet trembling.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
He repeatedly used the extraordinary weapon, firing golden "shells" one after another at different positions, causing the tomb to shake and sway but without dust falling.
After he paused slightly, the member holding the strange firearm stepped forward two steps and pulled the trigger:
Da da da da da da!
A sound like machine gun fire rang out. Pale golden bullets flew out one after another, purifying the dangers deep in the darkness.
...Isn't this exactly the artillery-strike effect I've always wanted? And using extra consumables like purification bullets and exorcism shells... So extravagant! This is the "Mechanical Heart"'s style of fighting? Klein stared wide-eyed and his mouth slightly opened.
After a heavy bombardment, Ickons raised his voice in the rumbling echoes:
"Second group, do follow-up clearing."
There's more... Klein felt a bit numb.
The second group was also two members, and they used scrolls made of different leathers.
