The extremely thick stone door slowly rose upwards, and at the same time, the groove where Zhao Xu placed the holy emblem popped out under the action of the mechanism, and Zhao Xu also directly reached out to catch it.
As the dull and unpleasant air flowed out of the door, Zhao Xu held the "Eternal Wand of Fireball" tightly, ready to release the spell at any time if something went wrong.
Finally, the stone door was completely raised, and there was no dull mechanical dragging sound during the entire process. It was just a gentle buzzing, as if it was controlled by magic.
Only then did Zhao Xu realize that there was a banquet hall in front of him. A lacquered wood dining table with twenty-four seats was placed in the middle, occupying nearly half of the space.
A carpet with a length of four meters is hung on the wall of the hall. It is covered with spider silk, and the color of the carpet has become dull and dull, making it difficult to distinguish.
Zhao Xu was searching for his religious knowledge and skills while recalling the portraits on the carpet in front of him.
At this time, the thick stone door began to slowly fall, and finally reached the point where it was closely connected with the ground.
The need to use a holy symbol to open the door means that this area is the living area of the priests of the God of Death
Zhao Xu had already recognized at this moment that the one hanging on the tapestry was Naraku, the last god of death.
After the War of Gods, this God of Death was in a state of semi-destruction, which has a history of at least thousands of years.
At first, the remaining power of its godhead still gave priests magical spells according to instinct, but it could no longer actively respond, and at the same time, the kingdom of God was shattered and withered.
The priests of the god of death, relying on the remaining power of their godhead, managed to survive for hundreds of years, during which they have been trying to resurrect their god.
It wasn't until the gods successfully penetrated the defensive power of the Death Godhead and divided up the Death God's priesthood that the priests lost their last divine skills and became no different from civilians.
The gods and their priests have always been both prosperous and destructive.
The passing of the last Death Priest also means that the Church of Death Naraku has officially declared its demise in Arthur.
No one can imagine that the God of Death will die one day.
Zhao Xu had begun to understand at this moment that the possible altar was not the devil's altar, but the original altar of Naraku, the God of Death.
This is Naraku Temple!
It is a hidden stronghold for one of his followers.
In this way, the devil is just a bird occupying a dove's nest.
Zhao Xu stepped forward at this time and saw that there were still gold-plated candlesticks and porcelain dishes on the dining table. Although the color was no longer there, he could still get some coins by taking them to an expert.
But Zhao Xu had no intention of doing that. He went straight to the cupboard behind the main table. It was also covered with a layer of white silk spider webs, which were not at all capable of being spun by ordinary spiders commonly seen at home.
Zhao Xu started to open the first drawer in sequence.
Suddenly his eyes lit up.
There was a scroll box in the drawer that was already broken and out of shape, but Zhao Xu had already seen that there was a scroll hidden in the box.
After adventuring for so long, Zhao Xu was able to pick up a scroll for the first time, regardless of the spider silk on it, and directly took out the scroll and started reading.
The scroll hidden in the chest of drawers is made of high-grade leather paper, with willow strips fixed and protected at both ends.
Generally, if a scroll only records one spell, it will be about the size of a piece of A4 paper. The scroll in front of me is nearly half a meter long, indicating that almost three spells have been transcribed on it.
There are slight signs of aging at the corners of the scroll, but the center is still as bright as new. With the blessing of magical power, this kind of leather paper without any hardness has survived better than the surrounding solid furniture.
[Adventurer Zhongxia made a "Spell Identification" test on the "Mysterious Scroll" and failed.]
Suddenly, the prompts on Zhao Xu's dynamic panel made him stunned.
His spell recognition skills have reached the upper limit of level 6. With +3 intelligence, his spell recognition skills have reached a full 9th level.
Even if the difficulty of identifying scrolls increases as the spell level increases.
As for the general first-level scroll, Zhao Xu has about a 50% probability of identifying it simply by relying on spell recognition.
So he couldn't help but feel a little surprise in his heart.
This is a real treasure!
Zhao Xu directly used the zero-level spell "Reading Magic", which allowed him to understand the meaning of the scroll.
In an instant, the processed arcane text on the scroll slowly became clear, as if it was being transformed and reorganized in his mind.
Level 3 divine spell casting spell!
Level 3 magic to control dead bodies!
Level 6 Divine Spell Serious Injury Spell!
Zhao Xu immediately read the details of the three spells on the scroll. They are all core magic, not particularly unpopular and powerful magic.
Manipulating the dead is a spell to create undead creatures, similar to the method used by the four people last night who were killed by evil creatures from another world and turned into zombies.
The Curse is a curse spell that caused Maple Leaf to lose 6 attributes after he was attacked by a trap. General attribute damage can be recovered slowly, but the curse must be lifted by spells, otherwise it will not be recovered for a lifetime.
In the early stage, if players do not have access to third-level spells and do not have enough gold coins to ask spellcasters to cast spells, they can basically log out of their accounts and play again when encountering this spell.
As for the serious injury spell, it is the opposite divine spell that corresponds to the healing spell.
The healing spell system in divine magic is very clear. The first level is for treating minor injuries, the second level is for treating moderate injuries, the third level is for treating serious injuries, the fourth level is for treating fatal injuries, and all the way to the top level is the sixth level healing spell.
These healing spells can be converted and cast by good priests at will.
The sixth-circle divine spell of serious injury is the opposite of the healing spell. It can cause 10 points of damage per caster level, with a maximum limit of 150 points.
The scroll in Zhao Xu's hand has a caster level of 15, indicating that the other party may be an eighth-ring priest.
It's just that he feels that these Naraku priests are a bit out of their minds. They can convert sixth-level spells into serious injury spells at will, so it doesn't make much sense to specially prepare scrolls.
In particular, this spell is relatively useless. It cannot kill someone with one shot.
Being injured without dying is the characteristic of this spell, because it is not called a death spell.
Even if you use the Serious Injury Technique on a civilian with 4 HP, the opponent will only drop to 1 HP and cannot be killed.
But since he didn't have to spend money to buy it, Zhao Xu happily rolled the scroll and stored it in the scroll box of his backpack.
It was also the first time that Zhao Xu harvested magic items by himself. Before he went on an adventure, he asked Roja to take the magic item converted from the adventure harvest to the local magic association, so that it could be given to him in the future.
Who knew that the other party would later be wiped out and the magic items would naturally be gone, but Antinoya compensated him with the automatic shorthand quill.
Now Zhao Xu is still very pleased. The scroll contains at least 1,600 gold coins for the serious injury spell and 375 gold coins for the curse spell. The scroll for manipulating the dead is worth 625 gold coins because it includes the spell material fee.
It has to be said that compared to the 25 gold coins for a first-level spell, the price of the later scrolls is like a snowball. Even if you succeed in killing the opponent, you can't help but feel heartache.
Especially those monsters whose targets are "ghosts" and "elemental creatures" that disappear immediately after being beaten, leaving no corpse for you, are even more despised by the majority of Arthur adventurers.
At this time, Zhao Xu also continued to open the second chest of drawers.
He already knows that this small underground temple of Naraku has definitely not been raided by anyone, otherwise the scrolls worth two to three thousand gold coins would not be left openly.
This may also mean that the entire three rows of fifteen drawers contain treasures.
Even in the rooms beyond this may be hidden the last treasures of the priests who tried to resurrect the gods.
This is also the reason why adventurers like to go to dungeons, because it means wealth.
While Zhao Xu was thinking about today's harvest, he just opened the second chest of drawers. Suddenly, a spider that was so big that it took up the entire drawer space jumped up and bit Zhao Xu fiercely.
Even though Zhao Xu hadn't seen this acquaintance for a long time, he couldn't help being startled, and immediately made an instinctive dodge action.
Zhao Xu, who only reacted backwards, did not use the "Secondary Swift Burst" and used the teleportation boots under his feet to initiate teleportation, so it was no longer possible to dodge.
Suddenly, the spider, which was almost the size of a tablet, opened its sharp teeth and bit Zhao Xu.
However, the "star cloak" on Zhao Xu suddenly shone like stars in the night sky, bursting with light directly at the spider's lower mouth, and immediately bounced the spider far away.
The spider was so shaken by this shock that it no longer dared to continue fighting, and quickly sneaked along the door into another passage and disappeared.
Only then did Zhao Xu shake off the dust on his body. Even though the spider's lower jaw was sharp, it didn't bite the cloak open.
Zhao Xu, unlike the two women, dared to come in without the blessing of "Mage Armor". Precisely because of the immunity effect of the cloak he wore, he was already invincible against these low-level ordinary animals and insects.
At this time, Zhao Xu also recalled the memory of his previous life and recognized the name and type of the spider.
Ultra-small mutant spiders with dark vision and tremor perception. At the same time, their bite attacks are poisonous. Once the save is failed, they will take 1 point of strength damage.
Although the other side is bigger than a washbasin, the body shape between 30 cm and 60 cm is defined by Arthur as ultra-small, and even lower there are micro.
Zhao Xu encountered a super-giant mutant spider in his previous life, and was trapped by a spider web. It was only the super giant mutant spider that was hunting other prey that allowed them to survive.
If the ultra-small mutant spider with an average of about 4 HP can continue to evolve, it will have to pass through small, medium, large, super large, and giant before it can reach the sixth stage and become the "super giant mutant spider" that Zhao Xu saw in his previous life. At that time, my body alone was over 20 meters tall.
After the near miss, Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to search for the remaining chests. This time he was more cautious and pointed the light crossbow at the mouth of the chest with one hand.
If something goes wrong, he will pull the trigger. If he encounters a mutant spider again, he will kill him with one arrow.
It wasn't until the third drawer was opened that Zhao Xu, who was accustomed to big scenes, couldn't help but take a deep breath for the first time today.
