Chapter 2410 Breaking In

At the same time, Fang Heng followed Norbert and his team to the Tower of Bones area, hiding behind a wall to observe the situation.

On the periphery, the necromancy attendants were still holding their ground.

During this special time period, the Tower of Bones area had been locked down and placed under strict security.

Everyone looked toward Norbert.

He appeared more confident now and nodded, “Just as I expected, the guards of the Tower of Bones have been reassigned.”

Li Shaoqiang glanced at the entrance of the Tower of Bones from a distance and said quietly, “How do you plan to get us in? I don’t want to make a move and end up being labeled a rebel by the undead faction.”

“What’s there to be afraid of at this point?”

Norbert seemed a bit anxious and shook his head, “Forget it, I won’t force you to take action. Just wait on the side and let me handle it.”

With that, Norbert waved his hand and led his two subordinates out from behind the wall, confidently walking toward the entrance of the Tower of Bones area.

Two necromancy attendants guarding the entrance blocked Norbert and his group.

“Catantul is currently under lockdown. The Tower of Bones area is not open to the public.”

“I understand,” Norbert replied, nodding. “We received a special mission and need to enter the Tower of Bones to collect some war materials.”

The necromancy attendants did not step aside.

“We have not received any notice regarding such a mission.”

“Is that so? There must have been some mistake. This is the pass given by the tower master, please take a look.”

The necromancy attendant, somewhat puzzled, took the pass from Norbert’s hand.

“Buzz…!”

The next moment, a dark wave pattern emanated from the opened pass.

At the instant the wave touched them, several nearby necromancy attendants shuddered violently, twisting and dissolving until they turned into a cloud of ash, completely disappearing before everyone’s eyes.

“Clap…”

The pass fell to the ground.

Norbert crouched down to pick it up and waved toward Fang Heng and the others hiding in the corner.

“Let’s go.”

Behind the wall, a group of more than thirty players followed Norbert and charged into the Tower of Bones area.

Li Shaoqiang couldn’t help but curl his lip at the sight.

Norbert had gathered so many players this time…

Even a fool could storm in.

What happened to the strict selection of participants to prevent leaks?

…

As the entire city had entered a state of lockdown, there were no visible figures inside, except for several necromancy attendants guarding the entrance.

Norbert led the group smoothly into the central square of the Tower of Bones area.

Fang Heng stood in the square, looking up at the five towering undead towers.

He had visited the tallest Tower of Bones many times before.

Everyone turned their attention to Norbert.

“The entrance to the special space of the death knights is hidden within the Tower of Bones,” Norbert said, gazing up at the tower for a moment before adding, “There’s no time to waste, let’s go.”

Under Norbert’s guidance, the group pushed open the massive doors of the Tower of Bones and hurried inside.

Fang Heng followed the others into the tower.

Standing in the first-floor hall of the Tower of Bones and looking up, he could see spiraling staircases leading upwards, which led to Teacher Gu Luo’s study and reception room.

In the past, he had always been guided by the necromancy attendants to meet Teacher Gu Luo.

This time was different; Norbert had no intention of going upstairs. Instead, he led the group to pause in the first-floor hall.

Norbert and his subordinates seemed to be searching for something, deliberately slowing their pace and carefully tapping along the walls of the hall.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

As a player tapped on one of the walls, they discovered a clear anomaly.

The sound was somewhat muffled.

“I found it!”

Norbert’s eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to investigate.

There was a passage behind the wall!

Norbert took out a small knife and carefully cut along the seams of the bricks, moving them aside until a dark entrance was revealed.

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.

There really was one!

Having visited this place many times, he had become quite familiar with it, yet he had never thought there could be a secret passage here.

“Let’s go in and take a look together.”

Norbert was the first to step into the dark passage.

The passage was deep, completely devoid of light, and it appeared to have been untouched for a long time, with a thick layer of dust covering the ground.

Norbert lit a prepared ghostly candle, illuminating the path ahead.

Before long, he spotted a staircase leading downward and guided the group down the stairs.

As they descended, Fang Heng felt like they were walking for a long time.

“How far down is it? How much longer?”

Li Shaoqiang grew impatient.

“Hmm, I’d estimate we’ve gone down about fifteen levels.”

Tan Shuo counted silently in his mind as they walked.

Just as he spoke, they finally reached the end of the stairs.

Passing through another short passage, a large underground hall appeared before them.

“It looks like this is the place.”

Norbert scanned the surroundings and levitated the burning candle to illuminate the entire Great Hall.

The dark, circular hall was lined with dilapidated jars, and cobwebs were everywhere. The walls showed signs of faded and peeling paint, indicating that it had been a long time since anyone had visited this place.

It felt more like an abandoned hall.

Fang Heng observed the environment and pondered quietly.

In Punoze, there had originally been a rift leading to the death realm, and the undead occupied this area largely for research and cultivation.

Ever since he had moved the entire rift to Duncha last time, he had thought that Punoze’s biggest secret had been uncovered.

So, what was this place used for?

“Everyone, if the information I received is correct, the passage to the sealed land of the death knights is right here,” Norbert said, stepping forward to the center of the circular hall. He crouched down and began to sweep away the thick layer of dust on the ground.

Huh?

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow.

Once Norbert cleared the dust, a large, bronze door appeared on the ground.

The door seemed engraved and embedded in the floor, currently sealed and entangled with numerous undead chains.

“The undead instructors have placed prohibitions on the seal. If the door is damaged, it will trigger an immediate response.”

Norbert looked a bit nervous as he stood before the locked door, carefully inspecting it, “But the instructors aren’t in Punoze right now, and they won’t be able to return in the short term.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s get started.”

The other players were eager and stepped forward to begin unraveling the seal.

The seal wasn’t particularly difficult; it was a common undead-type seal.

The first few players who tried found that their mental strength wasn’t enough to fully unlock the seal, so they called everyone to help.

“Everyone, come help!”

The group gathered around, channeling their mental strength into the sealed door.
