A relic.
Alexander and Ted moved forward vigilantly, holding staffs.
As the first batch of mage apprentices, both he and Ted have been promoted to the level of fourth-level magicians. Coupled with the large number of magic items they carry with them, their combat power far exceeds that of heroes.
Sending out two at a time is enough to show that the academy attaches great importance to this exploration.
"Fosmise into mud!"
"Illumination!"
Under the rocky ground, a passage was forcibly created, and it was illuminated by light.
"The rock appeared in a strange way, not like a natural formation."
Alexander stroked the rock wall and said suddenly.
"That means we may have found the right place, blessed by magic power!" Ted was very happy: "There is probably an 'obelisk' deep in the ground of this ruin!"
"Yes, the magician's treasure, the origin of all extraordinary things!"
Alexander said in admiration, and with a wave of his hand, several superstring warriors behind had to enter it and act as pioneers to open the way.
A group of people walked inside for an unknown amount of time, when an empty echo came out.
"I got through... There is indeed an underground space!"
Ted was overjoyed and rushed in directly with people.
Alexander stretched out his hand, moved his lips, but said nothing.
"Illumination!"
A huge sphere of light emerged from the tip of the wand and rushed into the sky, forming a day like the sun.
As far as the eye can see, it is a huge mausoleum-like building. On the Mayan pyramid in the center, there is an obelisk faintly enshrined, surrounded by a large number of Zerg puppets guarding it.
At this time, they all turned their heads, and scarlet rays of light burst out from their eyes.
"This seems to be the testers mentioned in the legend of the mercenary emperor, each of them has the strength of a hero!"
Looking at the number of puppets, Alexander couldn't help taking a breath, and waved his staff without thinking: "Maze!"
Layer upon layer of mazes instantly emerged, dividing the battlefield.
"kill!"
"Get rid of them!"
Ted hid behind the superstring warrior, and powerful and lethal spells continued to emerge from the staff.
They are already familiar with this set of procedures and coordination.
After a bloody battle, after paying the heavy price of superstring warriors, the area was finally cleared and the road to the pyramid was opened.
"It's Womong..."
Alexander kicked the head of a Zerg puppet away, and carefully observed the runes on the surface of the pyramid, as well as the remains of many bones: "It's unbelievable... Such a great Zerg civilization is still practicing bloody sacrifices and slave burials..."
"Don't worry about what to do, go and get the obelisk!"
Ted excitedly climbed up the steps and came to the obelisk.
Those 'strings', as well as the marks left on them, seemed to be telling the true meaning of magic, making him addicted to it.
"Careful, Ted, there may be traps!"
Alexander followed behind him, reminding nervously.
"I've tested it with magic... It's all right! Trust me!"
Ted reached out his hand disapprovingly, wanting to touch the obelisk.
Slap!
At this moment, a stone slab in front of him suddenly turned over, and a strange vertical eye carving emerged.
"this… "
"Magic barrier!"
Ted reacted quickly, and immediately put on colorful protection for himself.
But it didn't work!
His gaze was attracted by the vertical eye rune, which seemed to contain infinite mysteries, deep and terrifying, composed of many indescribable things.
As soon as he appeared, it occupied all his mind.
"It's so beautiful..."
Ted murmured, and his head suddenly swelled, becoming the size of a watermelon.
Both of his eyes bulged and eventually burst.
boom!
The watermelon-like head exploded, and the red and white ones poured all over the ground.
"ah!"
Alexander didn't have time to think, and waved his staff: "Destroy the magic ball!"
A magic missile landed on the stone slab in front of the obelisk, making a violent corrosion sound.
As the white smoke rose, the original stone slabs had been completely corroded.
Alexander's face was livid, and he didn't dare to approach, pointing at a superstring warrior: "You... go and get the obelisk back!"
The superstring warrior looked awe-inspiring, but seeing the cold light in Alexander's eyes, he couldn't help being shocked and walked in.
He reached out tremblingly, grabbed the obelisk, and pulled it out forcefully.
"drink!"
Amid the loud shouts, the obelisk was pulled out immediately.
"Is it a one-time trap? It can actually avoid the detection of magic?"
Alexander let out a long breath, looked at Ted's body, and couldn't help feeling sad: "My classmate, my friend... May the magic bless your spirit!"
…
imperial capital.
Inside the mage tower.
"There is news..."
Taklaw walked into the meditation room with a crystal ball in his hand: "Alexander's team has already made a discovery and unearthed a third obelisk."
Ilya stood up, a gleam flashed in her eyes: "Very well, I'll leave now to meet them."
"It's... too late."
There was a trace of sadness on Taklaw's face: "Ted was too impatient and died in an ancient trap..."
"Is it?"
Ilya was stunned, and the image of a shy boy with a good smile appeared in front of his eyes, and he was silent for a moment: "May the magic bless his soul!"
"Ilya, I have something to say..."
Taklaw looked at Ilya, and suddenly said: "Although I am chasing knowledge, I also understand that some taboos are not of sufficient rank, it is best not to touch... For example, this time, the new discovery of the Zerg ruins made me feel I'm palpitating... Perhaps, among the Zerg, there are taboo knowledge, such as 'ancient rulers', such as 'gods'!"
These two words are just a few words obtained by the magicians after vigorously excavating the ancient ruins.
"God? I like this word. It is synonymous with power and truth... And we magicians are a group of people who pursue the truth!"
Ilya replied disapprovingly: "However, thank you for your reminder, I will be careful. Also... as long as you have enough strength, taboos are not taboos. I understand this truth very well. Maybe... you should upgrade as soon as possible, otherwise, you will never You can’t see the beauty and truth of this world!”
She walked out of the mage tower, and quickly turned into a small black dot that disappeared into the sky.
Looking at this scene, Taklaw could only smile wryly.
"Ilya, you still don't understand how terrible the real 'taboo' is, it's something that even fate is afraid of..."
"However, you're right about one thing. I really should take a big step forward... God, God!"
Confusion appeared in his eyes.
I don't know why, when I heard this title, Taklaw was very eager. It seemed that it should be something I was very familiar with, but what followed was a deep fear!
