Chapter 64 Deep in the Ruins
In fact, Gawain planned to call Rebecca, but the latter has been busy with the construction of "Magic Web No. 1" for a while, and has not had a good rest for several days. Don't call her up again.
Anyway, there are just a few fireball launchers that are called, which is of little use in thinking - it's not as powerful as Gawain's own knife to slash people.
Heidi hadn't rested yet. She was studying the systems and plans written by Gawain in her tent. When she heard that there was a problem with the ruins in the mountain, she immediately put on her coat and rushed over.
Seeing her slightly nervous appearance, Gawain reassured: "Don't panic, it's just some unusual noises, maybe the ancient facilities in the ruins moved a bit - if it really wants to collapse, it's impossible to make such a small movement."
Heidi nodded worriedly.
Knight Byron quickly selected capable soldiers, and then led by Gawain through the mountain road to the front door of the ancient ruins.
A temporary outpost was built here with a wooden house. Usually, five soldiers are always on duty at the gate. The torches illuminate the surrounding of the gate of the ruins, so that the situation here is clear at a glance: Except for a few nervous soldiers standing, look at the It went up without exception.
"Sir," a soldier greeted him, and immediately saluted after seeing Gawain, "There were two more noises inside just now."
"Well, I'll go see it myself," Gawain said as he walked towards the gate of the ruins, "You guys are guarding outside, no one is allowed to come in without my order."
When he came to the gate of the ruins, Gawain used the platinum disc to activate the ancient Gondor magic pattern. Seeing that the heavy purple steel door was still flowing with magical glow, Gawain was somewhat relieved: at least the magic channel here It's still normal, which means that there won't be much changes in it.
Hetty clenched her staff subconsciously, and first sketched out the spell model of Frostbolt, but the magic power was dissipated in the next second and replaced with auxiliary magic—biu would be embarrassed if he didn't fall in love.
The purple steel gate slowly opened under the drive of magic, and the magic spar placed in the hall immediately lit up. Gawain put his hand on the hilt of the pioneer sword and stepped into it with vigilance.
There seems to be no abnormality in the hall. The metal ingots and weapons and armors that have not been transported are still in place, reflecting the glow under the bright and constant brilliance of the magic spar, and the entire hall does not show any signs of collapse and loosening. Business as usual.
But after taking a look around, Gawain immediately noticed the change—the doors in the depths of the hall were open.
This ancient ruin is not just a hall in front of you,
Inside the mountain, it also has a larger structure, which can be judged from the scale of its entrance and the architectural structures that can occasionally be observed on the mountain wall, but so far, Gawain and the others have only used the entrance of the ruins. It's just this hall - it's not that you don't want to go deeper, but the door to the deeper part is locked.
As early as 700 years ago, when the northern pioneering army found this relic, the door to the deep layer was locked, and it used a magic seal that was completely different from the surface door. The pioneer team of that year cracked the magic key of the entrance of the first floor, but could not do anything about the door in the depths of the hall, so they just regarded the hall as a treasure trove, reset the seal and left here, and seven hundred years later. Today, Gawain led Cecil's pioneering team back to this place, and he and the people he brought are still unable to do anything about those gates.
Hetty had studied in the hall of the treasury for a whole day, but could not unlock the seals of several doors: it was the magic technology of Gondor's heyday, far from being able to be cracked by a third-level mage like Hetty.
Gawain originally planned to put those doors aside first, and then consider how to deal with them when the situation stabilized in the future, but he didn't expect that just today, those doors would open by themselves.
Hetty also noticed the situation of those gates, and pulled Gaowen's clothes a little uneasy: "Ancestor, those gates..."
"I saw it, God knows how to open it." Gawain said with a frown, but he couldn't help thinking of the red spot outbreak and the surge of magic power a few days ago-could it be that the surge of magic power at that time also spread to Here in the ruins, the seal in the ruins has been loosened? Then recently, I frequently asked Heidi or Rebecca to bring a platinum disc here to open the door and move things. The frequent opening and closing of the first layer of seals activated the door inside by accident?
Based on Gawain's knowledge of the ancient Gondor Empire's magic technology, this is quite possible.
He brought a few soldiers to the three doors and began to think.
If it unfolds according to the general plot, digging into this kind of suddenly opened ruins in the middle of the night to explore, it is basically a death-defying development, but the specific situation depends on the theme - if this is an American drama, then basically everyone will go in as soon as possible. Dead ball, but if this is a Japanese drama, it is very likely that everyone will see a female ghost or something before the dead ball, but if it is a domestic drama...then he will most likely have sex with female ghosts after entering...
Gawain glanced at the people around him. The style of this group of people wearing armor and helmets and carrying a staff is American drama.
If you don't go in, you will definitely die, and you won't even be able to see the female ghost before you die.
But just when he made a decision and was about to order the gate to be temporarily closed, and when the conditions were ripe to explore in the future, he heard Hetty suddenly muttering: "There seems to be a magical reaction inside... in a deep place. "
Gawain raised his eyebrows: "Magic reaction? Deep?"
"It came from the depths of this door," Hetty pointed to the door in the middle. "It was probably the door that blocked the flow of magic before, and I never felt it, but now that the door is open, it can be faintly seen. I feel that there is something inside... It may be a running magic circle or something. However, the reaction is very, very weak, and it is still declining, and I am afraid it may disappear completely at any time."
Gao Wen: "..."
He abruptly stopped the urge to turn around and leave, sighing in his heart: Humans are indeed a creature that has to die.
No matter what was in it, it seemed that it had to take a look before leaving.
Holding the Sword of Trailblazers in his hand, Gawain silently used his knight skills to protect his home a few layers, and then walked ahead.
There was no light in the depths of the ruins, and it became darker and darker after walking through the gate. Hetty raised his staff and chanted a few syllables in a low voice. A glowing magic ball floated on the head of the staff, illuminating the way forward. path of.
Can play lighting, is a real mage.
Looking at the deepening corridor ahead and the high and wide spaces on both sides, Knight Byron couldn't help but wonder: "It is indeed something created by the once-prosperous Gondor Empire... There must be something in it. How big is it?"
"God knows, the gate of the ruins is in the shape of a large fortress in the Starfire Age of Gondor. This kind of large fortress can be hollowed out of a hill," Gawain pouted, "Amber didn't know if he really absconded with the money—she If only it were here."
"This kind of highly specialized ancient ruins, even the most brilliant stalkers are not good at dealing with them," Heidi gave Gawain a puzzled look, "Deciphering this kind of place is usually the professional field of mages..."
"No, if Amber is here, I can throw her out to explore the way, I can feel less psychological pressure," Gawain said casually, "and her escape skills are top-notch, and she can continue to throw when she runs back..."
Heidi was stunned: the ancestor suddenly made unethical remarks, what should the younger generation do? !
Gawain glanced at her and laughed: "I'm joking - mainly because Amber has a special ability to walk in shadows. In a place where there are shadows everywhere, she can find more hidden paths than us."
Hetty breathed a sigh of relief, and the Byron knight next to him also nodded: "I knew that you are a role model of knights, and you will definitely not do that kind of thing to a lady..."
Gawain's mouth trembled slightly: Amber? Who could associate her with a lady if it wasn't for her chest and face being there?
And to be honest, her breasts are not very closely related to the lady...
A few small chats eased the tension of everyone, but everyone's vigilance did not weaken at all. Under Hetty's magic ball of light, Gawain stared at every detail around him, not letting go of any possible Traps and the occasional ancient writing on the wall.
Those are the common scripts of the ancient Gondor Empire, and the common scripts used by the four kingdoms today are derived from them. However, due to the thousand-year span in between, there will be some changes during the evolution of the characters. The "Age of Sparks" itself was also a time of great change in the Gondor Empire, so basically only Gawain could understand the ancient characters in the ruins.
Hetty saw that they were half-understood.
The scale of the ruins in this mountain was indeed huge, even to the extent that Gawain was a little surprised.
Going all the way from the central corridor, the team encountered more than one forks, detours and stairs. The overall trend of the passage is that it continues to spread and descend toward the depths of the mountain. During this process, Hetty detected several breaths. Confirm that there should be perfect ventilation channels where people can't see it, which shows the advanced construction technology of the ancient Gondor Empire.
And in the process, they found rooms or other halls more than once.
These rooms and halls are made of stone-like material, but after Hetty's identification, it is found that they are not stone, but some man-made material more durable than stone; every room and hall is empty, except for Except for a few rotten shelves and some metal tools that are about to turn into slag, basically no valuable ancient relics can be seen-obviously, the imperial people in this facility were in good order when they had plenty of spare time. Evacuate here.
This is also in line with Gao Wen's judgment on the "Spark Age".
But this also made Hettie quite regretful: she thought she could find some antique treasures in it, even if it was unusable, but the words "from the Starfire Age of the Gondor Empire" were enough to make a piece of broken copper rotten. Iron has become a hot treasure.
The group did not have time to explore every fork and room in the path, so Gawain ordered to mark those forks that could not be explored temporarily, and then explore slowly when there was time in the future, while the group was in Hetty's. Under the guidance of the induction, he went straight in the direction of the magical reaction.
