Chapter 85: The remains of the ancient Arcane Empire

Views:

Kingdom of Babutler, outskirts of Saint-Neubourg.

Between the mountains, with the ups and downs of the terrain, there will occasionally be open views and moving scenery.

Victor, Rosa and others, led by the wizard apprentice Wilder, came to the foot of a majestic and majestic mountain.

"Master Victor, Master Rosa..."

Wilder pointed to the mountain peak in front of everyone and said: "... This is the entrance to the ancient Nethirel empire marked on the map."

"But if we want to enter the ruins, we still need to wait for the arrival of the night of the new moon!"

Speaking of this, Wilder smiled: "Fortunately, we are lucky. Tonight is a day when the new moon is rising..."

"Then let's rest for a while, and wait to enter the ruins at night."

Victor nodded, then greeted Rosa, and the two climbed up to a huge rock at the foot of the mountain and talked.

"Victor, is that apprentice mage reliable?"

Rosa lowered his head and glanced at Wilder not far away, where the commander wizard apprentices built a simple camp.

"Well, there shouldn't be any problems!"

Victor said with certainty: "According to my observation, Wilder just wanted to find the cause of his parents' death from the ruins."

The two exchanged a few words, and then turned the topic to the "Long Road Hub" Maituli Sealand.

"After the defeat of this crusade, the vitality of the Eternal Temple was greatly injured. The so-called'Fourth Religious War' has just begun, and it stopped abruptly!"

Rosa said with a smile: "... This has become a big joke!"

"No!" Victor said with emotion: "Who would have thought that the war fortress would quietly leave Carter City and lie in ambush near Methuri Sealand?"

"Through this'Lagath Pass Battle', the prestige of the Magic Society has reached an unprecedented new height... I think there will be no more large-scale armed conflicts in the next ten years."

"correct!"

Victor suddenly thought of something. He asked, "Master Rosa, what did you find about the cause of the wolf tide in the North?"

Rosa shook his head, "I don't know! The personnel we sent out to investigate either disappeared strangely or returned without success... According to the news from the inside, the same is true for the Temple of Eternity."

"Oh, I just hope that nothing will happen again..."

In the constant communication between Victor and Rosa, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already night and the new moon was rising.

"Master Victor, Master Rosa, we can go!"

Under the huge rock, Wilder greeted loudly.

"knew!"

Victor responded and jumped off the huge rock with Rosa.

In the light of the moonlight, the expedition team set off in full gear.

After a magic hour, the expedition team came to the depths of a secret cave. Through the gaps in the cave, the bright moonlight shone straight on the smooth rock wall at the end of the cave.

Wilder, holding the map, took a few steps forward, "Virukai... Yudurou... Yayu Pai..."

The words of the ancient arcane empire reverberated in the empty cave, and a mysterious aura immediately emerged.

I saw that smooth rock wall, under the influence of moonlight and spells, flashed bursts of faint blue magical brilliance, and a huge rune array covering the entire rock wall appeared in the eyes of everyone.

"... Louhope... Diani... Airutase!"

When the spell in Wilder's mouth ended, the dark blue magical brilliance emitted by the rune array on the rock suddenly exploded, causing everyone to subconsciously close their eyes.

After Victor's vision returned to normal, he found that the smooth rock wall in front of him had split apart, like a giant rock gate that had been opened.

At this time, Wilder nodded slightly towards Victor, and then he took the lead to enter the entrance of this ancient arcane empire.

The people who entered the state of alert followed Wilder carefully and slowly along the bluestone road in the ruins passage.

"There is nothing dangerous about the entrance to the ruins..."

Wilder said in a calm tone: "I have been here two or three times, don't worry, everyone!"

However, Wilder's words did not lower the vigilance of everyone. Victor in the expedition team looked around both sides of the ruins passage as he marched.

"This is indeed a relic of an ancient arcane empire..."

Rosa's voice rang in Victor's ear: "Look, the frescoes on the rock walls on both sides of the passage are all in the style of the Nesirrel period."

Under Rosa's introduction, Victor carefully examined the huge murals again.

Time continued to pass. As everyone went deep into the ruins, the natural light was no longer enough to illuminate the vision. So, one by one magic light groups formed by "dancing light" appeared around the expedition team, illuminating the entire passage. brightly lit.

"Mr. Victor, here we are!"

When the expedition came to the end of the passage, Wilder's voice sounded in due course.

After Victor heard the words, he sent out several lighting spells in the space ahead, and the soft light instantly pushed the darkness back.

Huge shadows were cast on all sides immediately, and they saw a ceiling with a height of more than 100 meters above their heads, and many majestic stone pillars lined up to support it.

Here is a wide hall, with black walls shining like glass crystals after polishing. Everyone noticed that this hall also has three other entrances with the same black arches, one is directly opposite them, and one on each side.

"This is the ruins of the magnificent ancient Arcane Empire! I'm here again..."

Seeing everything in front of him, Wilder muttered to himself in a dreamlike ethereal tone.

"Everyone is on guard! Ready to explore!"

Victor said loudly, "Let’s start on the right side of the hall..."

With that, the members of the expedition formed a battle formation and walked towards the right side of the hall.

Soon, the group of people came to the black arch entrance on the right side of the hall. After ensuring safety, Victor and others walked in.

This is a smaller room with a door on the other side to the west. Between the two doors, scattered on the ground are many bones, as well as broken swords and axe handles, bucklers and helmets. In the center of the room, a dilapidated sarcophagus was reflected in everyone's vision.

"It doesn't look... it's not wonderful!"

Victor stepped over the bones on the ground, stepped forward, and read the handwriting engraved on the sarcophagus: "Jacob sleeps here! Son of Edward, King of Twilight."

All members of the expedition stood quietly in front of the dolmen, looking at each other.

"Jacob? King of Twilight? Who is he?"

Wilder scratched his hair suspiciously, "Strange! Why didn't I find this sarcophagus when I came last time?"

After some searching, Rosa found a book that was badly damaged. In this book, everyone knew that their location was called the "Hall of History Writing", and they also knew about the ruins of the ancient arcane empire. layout.

"Ha! It seems that our luck is indeed good... Now, the next journey will no longer be blind!"

The members of the expedition team are gearing up and preparing to do a big job.
