Gray had always been straightforward. What he hated the most was people who were shrewd and didn’t speak the truth.
Furthermore, this young man in front of him was already a serious threat to Klein and Gray’s safety. Naturally, he had to stay far away.
Seeing that the two of them were really leaving, the young Macbeth finally panicked.
“Stop immediately! Stop right there. Everything I said just now was true. Although I lied to you a lot, I really had no choice at that time!”
After all, who would dare to tell the truth when they had just met a stranger?
Not to mention the current situation, danger lurked everywhere, and they could encounter enemies at any moment.
Even under normal circumstances, there wouldn’t be a silly and sweet person who would believe anyone they met, right?
In fact, the young man’s vigilance wasn’t wrong, but what infuriated Klein the most was that he treated the lives of the two of them like dirt and attempted to use them to deal with the traps.
This action made Klein extremely unhappy.
He stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at the young man’s anxious face. He sighed softly.
“You should have heard the story of the boy who cried wolf. You lied once, but the next time, that person won’t believe you. I didn’t say that everyone has to be honest with others, nor do they have to be as unscrupulous as a fool. Then, when you look back at what you’ve done. Is there anything that makes sense?”
In fact, Klein and Gray weren’t simple-minded people either.
Klein could even hear Macbeth’s flaws and expose his lies from one sentence.
But a person’s wisdom and scheming were really different things.
One was used to deal with matters, and the other was used to scheme against others.
At that moment, Macbeth seemed to know that his actions had angered the two people in front of him, but he was unwilling to let them leave.
Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “Let me tell you something. This isn’t my first time here, so I know quite a bit about the surrounding environment. The correct path is through this door. It’s futile for you to go anywhere else. Not only will you not be able to find what you’re looking for, but you’ll also be trapped here forever. There’s no way out!”
Although Macbeth had made up a lot of lies to fool the two of them, Klein still believed what he said.
He stopped in his tracks once again and patted Gray on the shoulder.
“Regardless of whether this person is right or not, let’s go in and take a look. Otherwise, we’ll have wasted our trip to the trap.”
Gray nodded. “It’s fine if we go in. I won’t act together with this fellow. Even if he shamelessly follows us, we can be considered strangers in the same industry. Don’t even think about cooperating!”
Klein nodded. “Don’t worry, I know what to do!”
The two of them answered each other’s questions, as though they didn’t put Macbeth in their eyes at all. This made Macbeth feel very unhappy.
However, he knew that their abilities were extraordinary, so he didn’t dare to say another word.
Klein and Gray came to the door and found that it was indeed a brand-new space.
It was completely man-made, which meant that this place was really inhabited.
Klein found it strange. The catacombs had only been open for a few years, so who was the person living here?
They knew that so many dangerous traps were clearly meant to prevent outsiders from entering. What secret did this person have?
The two of them walked through the door, and the situation in front of them surprised Klein.
It was actually a man-made stone cave. The reason why he said that was because Klein could even see the marks of a knife and axe being dug into the surrounding walls.
Typically, all the catacombs were naturally formed. As long as they were dug open, there would be signs of the erosion of time.
However, the space in front of him was very different. Not only had it been artificially processed, but there were also many valuable furnishings.
There was a huge high platform in the middle, surrounded by a circle of stone statues carved from stone. The workmanship was also very exquisite.
Gray frowned slightly. For some reason, he felt that the scene in front of him was a little strange.
A few stone figures were surrounding a round platform. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like they were performing a sacrificial ceremony.
Before the two of them could begin their investigation, Macbeth who knew the place very well began to talk.
“I’ve entered this place three times, and every time, I’m stuck in this spot. I know how many levels there are behind this door, and I can’t open it with my abilities. I’m hoping to seek your help!”
Klein snorted coldly and didn’t answer. Was he asking for help? He was clearly asking for death!
Macbeth’s face grew thicker and thicker. He didn’t feel the slightest blush in the face of the two people’s supercilious looks.
Macbeth thought for a moment before saying, “According to the information I’ve found, this place should be the legendary divine altar. It’s indeed used for sacrificial purposes!”
So Gray’s guess was correct, but who would build an altar here and which gods would be worshipped here?
In the primordial space, everyone didn’t have much faith, and they were all very pure.
But after entering this brand-new space, Klein discovered that everything here was very different from before. Many of the customs and thoughts were vastly different.
He thought for a moment before saying, “It’s said that the gods worshiped here are all mighty figures who call themselves immortals. They’re not gods, but a mighty figure from hundreds of years ago in this world!”
Mighty figures only appeared once every hundred years or so. It was said that they were powerful and were called gods that descended from the heavens. It was said that they had some responsibility to protect the safety of the local residents.
The last time a mighty figure appeared was indeed three hundred years ago. This person had indeed made many outstanding contributions.
Therefore, up until now, there were places that worshipped this god.
Gray reached out to touch his nose and couldn’t help but answer Macbeth’s words.
“Klein and I aren’t people from here. We have no interest in gods like you. We believe in sweeping away all difficulties with our own strength. We won’t live in a void of faith every day!”
Klein patted Gray’s arm. Although that was indeed the case, he still had to respect the religious beliefs of others.
Furthermore, this amplifier wasn’t made by some god, but by someone who truly existed. It was indeed admirable.
Gray knew that he had said something wrong, and his words were a little abrupt. He lowered his head in embarrassment and silently apologized in his heart.
At this moment, the two of them had already approached the console and found that it was empty. There was nothing there.
There was only a dent, and it looked like a very special shape.
Klein couldn’t touch his nose. Logically speaking, such a high platform should have some enchanted artifacts or holy items.
There’s nothing on it. It should have been abandoned for some time, right?
Because the high platform was protected by a circle of stone golems, the two couldn’t really get close.
They could only look at the bottom of the groove from afar.. It seemed to be carved with some words, but they couldn’t see what it was.
