Chapter 919: Puppet
Master Stoll had a thoughtful look on his face: "Master Ethan, I remember that you once knew something about the civilization of the Great Goblin Period, do you think this emblem is very familiar?"
Mage Ethan's gaze fell on the emblem as well...... This is a emblem with a human portrait as a pattern, which is extremely rare in the mortal world, and the portrait on it is clearly a big goblin - Merlin muttered in her heart, this big goblin in the Ezra plane is the same as the big goblin in the wizarding world, but I have never heard of the big goblin good at building.
As if sensing the confusion in Merlin's eyes, Master Ethan spoke: "This is the emblem of the Samaranch family in the era of the Great Goblin Civilization, this kind of emblem is extremely rare among other races, but it is more common among the Great Goblin Race. In order to commemorate their ancestors, the big goblins often use the heads of their ancestors as the family emblem, and some families known for their design and architecture like to engrave their family emblems in some unnoticed corners of their works to show the builder and designer of the work. The Samaranch family is an ancient and extremely prestigious family of the Great Elf Clan, who once lived in the western part of the world of Aisla for a long time, but for some reason they actually left an emblem here, could it be that the ruins here turned out to be their work? This seems a little unlikely, but how to explain the origin of this emblem?"
Speaking of which, Master Ethan actually began to groan, obviously unable to understand some questions.
"Yes, it is the emblem of the Samaranch family, a line that can only be engraved so powerfully and profoundly by the craftsmanship of the great goblins that it is difficult for ordinary people to do so, and it is not necessary. Master Stoll nodded, supporting Master Ethan's explanation.
"Well, I don't know if we're unlucky or God's favor, if this ruin is the work of the Samaranch family, then we'll have to think about this expedition. The Samaranch family is especially good at underground construction, and the remains of the Mogao Grottoes in the Tengger Desert were the result of their collaboration with another famous family of the Great Goblin, the Ellen family, where I don't know how many explorers were trapped. Mage Stoll turned a little ugly, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.
"What does Master Istor mean, will we give up now?" said Hamilton's tone a little aggressively.
"Of course not. β
Master Stoll said lightly, "I'm just reminding you that exploring this ruin is probably more difficult than we imagined, so be mentally prepared. β
"I'm sure we all have enough time, so let's go step by step. "Merlin doesn't want to cause arguments among the big guys at this time, anyway, magicians have time, and for them, speed is not a problem, but the result is a problem.
The purifying light slowly diffused through the palm of Stoll Mage's patina towards the patina, a low-level spell that checked for curses or magic traps, and although it was not lethal, it was still very effective for detecting unknown traps.
The magical energy passed through the gate, and there was no unexpected change, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mage Stoll was very careful, and with a mage hand, he gently pushed towards the door.
The copper-wrapped door slowly opened, and the seemingly mysterious texture on it seemed to have nothing to do with magic, but looking inside the door, several people seemed to hesitate.
"Ahem, I'll do it. β
Master Hamilton strode forward with a dry cough, which made the other four all a little stunned...... This guy seems to be rough, but in fact he is more cunning than anyone else, how can he be so generous?
At this moment, Master Hamilton took out a human form...... The puppet, this is indeed an alchemy puppet, but from the proportions of the head, torso, and four legs, it can be seen that it is a humanoid.
Generally speaking, when magicians refine puppets, in addition to their practicality, they pay special attention to the beauty of their appearance, and they are meticulously made, which is the basic requirement for alchemy puppets, and only those shoddy cannon fodder puppets will no one care about its appearance...... In fact, that kind of thing doesn't deserve to be called a puppet, it's just a tool at best. And the puppet that Master Hamilton took out obviously belonged to this situation.
Seeing this miserable alchemy puppet, Mei Lin and the others couldn't help but look at Master Hamilton, and Master Hamilton, who had always had a big heart, couldn't help but blush under the gaze of four eyes with different meanings.
It's a bit of a mistake to take out this thing, but Master Hamilton said that he is also very helpless, his attainments in literature and art are really not enough, and it is already very hard to make such a thing...... Besides, in this situation, isn't this puppet used to act as cannon fodder?
As soon as the mental hint came out, the puppet had walked forward flexibly, looking left and right and looking at it with a rather superior demeanor, holding a wooden staff in its hand, knocking on the ground from time to time, as if it wanted to find out if there were any traps or something.
After stepping into the door, the puppet behaved very cautiously, it should be said that under the control of Master Hamilton, this puppet behaved very cautiously, according to the general rules of underground building construction, there will definitely be defensive facilities in the door to prevent foreign enemies from invading at will, the puppet waved the wooden staff in his hand, as if to give himself courage, but in the eyes of everyone it was extremely funny and cute, they did not expect that the five big and three thick Hamilton mages actually gave this puppet such a lively personality.
Not to everyone's surprise, when the puppet marched to the point where it was about to walk out of the doorway, two gate-like gates that fell to the ground suddenly isolated the puppet in the dark hole, and some panicked puppets quickly quieted down under the hint of Hamilton's mind, these two knives were obviously triggered by the puppet touching a certain mechanism, but this kind of physical device cannot be detected by magic perception, so at this time, the puppet also took on the danger that should have been borne by the caster, especially after being trapped, there are often other attacks, but it seems that no other means of attack were found this timeγ
Mei Lin stepped forward and lightly touched the knife gate, carefully observed the material made of it, and then took a step back, the long sword on her waist burst into a flash, and there was a loud bang, and the knife gate turned into a pile of fragments in front of everyone.
Mei Lin looked at the destroyed knife gate with some regret, it was really not in their interests to use violent means to destroy it like this. However, there seemed to be no other way to open this mechanism, which could only be unlocked from the inside, and Merlin could only shrug her shoulders in despair.
