Chapter 324 Compensation Although the temperature in the dim corridor did not drop, a chilly wind blew that seemed to penetrate into the bone marrow. Lumian, who was in a state of mind emptying to restore his spirituality, instantly focused his attention and observed the tombs on both sides as if nothing happened. In fact, his first choice reflexively was to put one hand in his pocket and hold Mr. K's fingers, but he immediately remembered that this was the Southern Continent and Mr. K would most likely not be able to sense his fingers being used, so he forcibly suppressed his instinctive impulse. Franca's reaction speed was not slow either. She had a palm-sized mirror in her hand. Although Janna, who had the least experience, did not understand what such a change of scene meant, she still intuitively thought that this was not a good thing. This is similar to the ghost stories that some drunkards in bars and dance halls use to scare girls! Saliente quickly withdrew his gaze from the dim oil lamp, without even looking at Lumian, quickened his pace, walked past Janna and Franca, and walked towards the open dark wooden door of the basement. Bang bang bang! There were banging sounds coming from the tombs on both sides. I couldn't tell whether it was the lid of the sarcophagus being knocked or the heavy stone door being hit. Salient's expression changed, he raised his knees and ran out. In the originally dead silent basement, the sound of banging echoed. Lumian and others followed the owner of the secret medicine store towards the exit and surpassed him in a few steps. At this moment, the dark wooden door made a creaking sound and closed at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this, Franka continued to run and threw the mirror in her hand out the door. With a crack, the mirror hit the completely closed black wooden door, and the fragments were scattered all over the floor. Lumian and Franca stopped at the same time and turned to look at Saliente. Janna rushed forward another two meters before she came to her senses and made the same choice. In the unusually dim corridor, Salient, wearing a blue jacket with gold edges, stood stiffly in place, his pale face stained with a hint of dark green. The clapping sounds in the tombs on both sides continued, echoing in the hearts of every living person here. Saliente's body trembled noticeably, and he muttered to himself: "It's over. We are all finished..." "What exactly happened?" Franca asked quickly but calmly. Only by clarifying the essence of the problem can we come up with an effective solution in a short time! Salient seemed to have lost his soul. He did not answer Franka's question and half-repeated what he had just said: "It's over, we're dead..." Before he finished speaking, the entire basement suddenly shook. The dark green lights, which had shrunk to the size of rice grains, tilted noticeably in the same direction. Saliente's face showed fear, and his voice became louder involuntarily: "It's awake! It's awake!" "Who is it?" Janna felt that this was more terrifying than all the ghost stories she had heard before, but she still forced herself to ask. Saliente did not answer her, but continued to shout: "It's awake! It's awake!" Seeing that the owner of the secret medicine store was obviously in a bad state and seemed to be in extreme fear, Franka decisively gave up asking and took out a mirror. She planned to use the "magic mirror divination" method to quickly determine the current situation. Even if the answer obtained from divination is not clear enough and needs to be interpreted, it is always better than knowing nothing!
Soon, Franka finished reciting the spell and saw water light appearing on the mirror. She was about to organize her words, ask the right questions, and request the corresponding answers, when Lumian, who had been standing silently beside her, suddenly spoke up: "Did you make it?" "It's successful. We can use it for divination." Although Franka was confused, she still responded very cooperatively. Lumian immediately smiled: "You don't have to ask any more questions." Uh... Franka was stunned at first, then she understood what Lumian wanted to do. At this time, the basement began to shake noticeably again, and the owner of the secret medicine store, Salient, was so frightened that his voice became shrill: “It’s coming! It’s coming! "We're going to die!" The next second, Lumian squeezed his shoulder. At the same time, Lumian held onto Janna's arm with his other hand, while Franca hooked her arm around his shoulder in a gesture of brotherly love. A faint light flashed through the gaps in the clothes, and four people appeared outside the basement, in front of the black wooden door with many mystical symbols outlined on it. “It’s coming! It’s coming! "We're going to die!" Salient was still screaming in despair. Lumian looked at the owner of the secret medicine store and seriously considered whether to use the "Face of Nether" to disguise himself as a mummy and scare him. Stimulation therapy is also therapy! Considering that he had very little spiritual power left and there was no need to expose too much of his abilities in front of such a stranger, Lumian finally gave up on his plan of playing a prank. Snapped! Janna swung her right palm and slapped Saliente in the face, stunning him and staring blankly at the lady in front of him. Both Franca and Lumian were a little surprised. They watched the scene in silence, not knowing how to participate. The dark wooden door and the basement wall shook slightly, and the scene outside suddenly became quiet. Jenna felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and muttered: “Isn’t that how we wake up? "My neighbor lost control of his emotions before, and this is how he woke up." This is not really crazy. People in the factory area have their own empirical solutions, which work most of the time but not in a few cases. Of course, if it was her own relative, she definitely wouldn't be able to do it and would have to ask others for help. "Well done." Franca came back to her senses and praised sincerely. After a few seconds, Salient's eyes gradually became clear. He looked around instinctively and blurted out in astonishment: “We’re out? "When did we get out?"
"When you shouted 'We're going to die' 'We're going to die'." Lumian replied in a tone that deserved a beating. Then, he raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Who did you say was waking up?" After Salient's expression changed several times, he pursed his lips and said: “A real ancient mummy. "It sleeps at the bottom of the tomb and wakes up occasionally. It just woke up a few days ago. How could it wake up again so soon..." Under normal circumstances, the time when the mummy "wakes up" has a rough range. According to Salient's experience, it will take at least another month for it to wake up again, so he dared to take Lumian and others into the basement. Who knew an accident would happen! What factors caused the ancient mummy to wake up early? Lumian cast his eyes at Franca thoughtfully, as if asking if you would like to consider the real ancient mummy. Franca understood what he meant and shook her head to indicate that it was not necessary. Mummy ashes are just auxiliary materials. Last year's ashes can also be used. There is no need to take risks against that dangerous-looking monster. Lumian retracted his gaze, endured the throbbing pain in his head, looked at Saliente, and said with a smile: “I don’t care if it’s last year’s mummy or the ancient mummy waking up, I only know two things; “One, I saved you, and two, we were frightened and almost died in there. "So, you need to give me a thank-you gift and spiritual compensation. How much do you think I should give you? Remember, I only want gold." Thinking of the 10 Felkin gold he still owed to Armored Shadow and Mr. Fool, Lumian didn't want to miss any opportunity to save money. Seeing the noise behind the dark wooden door gradually subside, Salient felt relieved and took a breath and said: "How about 1000 Fel Gold? That's all the gold I have." He felt a little sad about the loss of money, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with what Lumian said. If it weren't for them, he would have died in the basement and become food for the mummy. Moreover, the other party showed considerable strength, and rejecting it on the spot meant a high risk. "Okay." Lumian didn't ask for too much or exploit her. As the four of them walked towards the stairs leading to the warehouse, Franka lowered her left hand, allowing something to slide silently into the shadow in the corner. After receiving 1000 Fel gold coins, gold bars and gold jewelry, Lumian, Franka and Janna walked out of the "Highland Secret Medicine" store. "Tsk, after all the trouble, I not only got the mummy's severed hand, but also got 500 more Fel Gold." Franka looked back at the store and sighed with amusement. Without waiting for Lumian's response, she asked with a smile: "Are you short of money again? In the past, you definitely wouldn't care about getting paid for saving people. They could give it to you or not." “Have you switched to the ‘audience’ path?” Lumian teased, nodding sincerely. “The special contract I mentioned requires a sacrifice of 10 Felkin worth of gold within a certain period of time afterwards.” 10 Felkin? After truly entering the world of occultism, Jana's view of money was refreshed again and again. As far as she knew, the cash that Charles had now was not as much as she had on her, and yet such a person actually dared to owe 10 Felgin just for a contract that allowed him to use special abilities. Franka made a "tsk tsk" sound again, and then asked: "Why didn't you just 'teleport' us outside the door at the beginning? At that time, the door of the basement was still open and there wouldn't be any accidents."
"Don't you think it was cool to make a move at the last moment?" Lumian asked instead of answering. Of course, the real reason was that he had just acquired the ability of "spiritual travel" and had not yet formed the habit of using it subconsciously. When the dark wooden door of the basement was closed, he was afraid that the last "teleportation" would fail, so he did not dare to try it rashly. Later, Franka completed the "magic mirror divination", through which he determined that the seal could also connect to the outside world, so he made a decisive decision. Amid the disbelieving voices of Franca and Janna, Lumian rubbed his empty, throbbing head and said: "Let's find a hotel. I want to get some sleep and recover my spirit." "Okay." Franca didn't rush to find a hotel, but turned into an empty alley and took out an exquisite makeup mirror. "What do you want to predict?" Janna asked curiously. The corners of Franka's mouth curled up: "Divination of the image reflected by my other mirror." Seeing that Janna was puzzled, she smiled and added: "I just threw a small mirror that looked like a fragment outside that basement." After saying that, Franka gently stroked the mirror and chanted a spell. Soon, the mirror reflected a scene: Salient, the owner of the secret medicine store, who was wearing a blue coat with gold trim, stood in front of the dark wooden door, bent over, and shouted in a low voice: "Only death remains!"
