Chapter 225: The Invisible Hand
"The Chamber of Secrets is down here, come with me." Snead said and took the lead to go down, and when we saw this, we hurriedly followed, the steps behind the door were very long, and we walked for a long cup of hot tea before finally coming to a hall, Sneijder snapped his fingers, and the lights around him suddenly lit up, and in a moment we were stunned by the sight in front of us.
This hall is really not small, visually enough for hundreds of people to dine here at the same time, of course, what surprised us was not this, but the whole hall was in a mess at the moment, all kinds of equipment and furnishings were scattered all over the ground, books and documents were everywhere, and it looked as if it had just undergone a looting.
"How could this be..."Sneijder's face was full of surprise when he saw this, it was obvious that this was not the case in the first place.
"Looks like someone is one step ahead of us." Maria looked around and said coldly.
"How can you be so sure?" Antonla asked.
"See for yourself." Maria said as she pouted from the ground next to her, only to see a dark green footprint clearly left there.
"The dirt on this footprint is still fresh, obviously not long ago."
I pondered for a while and hurriedly asked Snead on the side: "Who else can open the magic array in and out of here besides you?"
"Well, almost all the high-ranking cadres in the guild are available, let alone more than a hundred."
"Damn, it looks like someone snuck in while we were busy cleaning up the mess."
"But all the senior cadres are obviously under our surveillance?" Feng on the side was puzzled, the two sisters had been taking turns guarding the captured guild cadres in the past few days, for fear that they would turn against the water again.
"You're wrong, and it's not all." Maria said coldly.
"You're saying we're negligent?" The little girl Feng was a little unconvinced, but fortunately, the orange on the side hurriedly stopped her.
"Kaede, you get excited first, Maria didn't mean that, it's true that not all the cadres are under our surveillance..."
"Sister, what do you mean?" the little girl said with a blank expression.
"You forgot, isn't there another bunch of guys we didn't catch?"
Kaede was stunned, and then suddenly realized, "You mean Morgana and them!?"
"Yes, it's them, they know that there are a lot of important secrets hidden here, so they took advantage of our adventure to sneak back and take the relevant information and equipment. It was also our carelessness that we should have interrogated the captives in the first place." As she said this, Maria couldn't help but clench her staff, her face remorseful.
"There's no way around it, after all, we didn't know there was this secret room at first, so let's go around and see if we can find any valuable clues." Seeing this, I was afraid that Maria would blame herself too much, so I hurriedly diverted the topic, and everyone felt justified when they heard it, so they hurriedly searched the scene, but having said that, most of us didn't know what was originally here, and the people who came here to loot it first were very clean, so in the end we didn't find too many valuable clues, and we could only roughly determine what the other party had transferred through the memories of Sneijder and Harry.
"Almost all the important equipment and materials have been taken away by the other party, and many of the remaining things that are too bulky and difficult to carry have basically been destroyed, and almost all the valuable things have been left in the United States..."Snead couldn't help but shake his head again and again as he said this, his face full of regret.
"Damn, these guys are amazing." Tina was a straight person and slammed the wall in anger when she heard this, but this action unexpectedly reminded me.
"By the way, didn't you say that Saruman still has a secret room here? Shall we not go there and have a look? β
Sneiard's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, you see I almost forgot the most important thing, the spell that opened that door is known only to Saruman himself, maybe it hasn't been looted yet, you come with me." β
With that, Snead led the way in front of the head, and led us to the other end of the hall, which was very similar to the Wizard's Tabu on the ground, and also built a stone room, which seemed to be used for people to work and rest, and at the end of the corridor Sneijder stopped, pointed to the unprocessed rock in front of him and said, "This is it, the secret room is behind this stone." β
When I heard this, I reached out and touched the rock, which seemed to be the same as a normal rock, but I could clearly feel a powerful magic behind it.
"Yes, I can sense that this one hasn't been looted yet."
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry inside." Hearing this, Anton La couldn't help but hurriedly urge.
"But I don't know how to open the door." Sneijder spread his hands and said helplessly.
"It's okay, you guys stand back and let me try." I waved my hand at the crowd, then stroked the rock, holding my breath and feeling the magic on it with all my might, and since I had inherited nearly half of the demon king's mana, I easily understood the mystery of this door.
"Dominic Salaam." As I snapped, a magic array suddenly appeared on the rock, and then it was the same as when we found the secret room, the magic array grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a huge arch, and as soon as the door opened, a strong evil aura rushed towards us!
"Be careful, everyone, there is a lot of evil here." Hearing me say this, everyone couldn't help but retreat again and again, Maria and a few other people with strong magic power are not very good, like Tina and a few other people who can't do magic are already staggering and unsteady on their feet at this moment.
"There's too much evil in here, I think the princess, Maria, Antonla, Xiaojia and the two professors will go in with me, and the others will stay outside first." When everyone heard my proposal, they all disagreed, so I went into the secret room with the princess and the others.
The space inside the secret room is not large, about the same size as Saruman's office in the Wizards' Guild, it is full of various dossiers and magic weapon props, it looks like a treasure trove of magicians, Xiao Jia and Snead have always been immersed in this, and they can't help but feel a little dizzy at the moment.
"Looks like this place hasn't been looted yet." The princess looked at the neatly arranged books on the bookshelf and said.
"Morgana's people shouldn't be able to open that door..."I said as I pulled down a few books from the bookshelf and looked through them, which were basically ancient magic books, which were indeed rare to the average human magician, but they were worthless to me, and just when I thought I was going to go home empty-handed, a stack of scrolls neatly stacked on the desk next to me caught my attention, compared to the other books, these books seemed to be very new, On it I can still clearly feel the energy left by the demon king.,Obviously, these things should be read on a regular basis.,Thinking about this, I hurriedly picked up a volume.,Unfold it and look at the content.,I couldn't help but be surprised.
"Come here, everyone!"
"What, did you find out?" When everyone heard my greeting, they immediately rushed over.
"Look at theseβ" I said as I handed the scroll to everyone to circulate, and everyone looked at it.
"It's... Saruman's work diary!?"
"That's right, it's a detailed record of the design principle and progress of the Demon Gate, and the most important thing is here...", I said, and I pointed to a line in the scroll.
"There is a mention of someone's visit, and their discussion of the current situation in the Three Realms, and from Saruman's account, it seems that the other person is well aware of the changes in the Three Realms, and knows our whereabouts."
Could it be that this is the "invisible hand" you call it?" The princess said.
"Quite possibly."
"But here Saruman doesn't mention the other person's name, just calls him "that guy"..."
"This is also the most regrettable place, obviously I know the existence of the other party, but I just don't know its identity..."
"By the way, don't you kid have the memory of the Demon King? Wouldn't it be nice to reminisce?" At this time, Antonla said suddenly.
"It's useless, all I can read is the memories of the Demon King before the seal was unlocked, and as for the part of the memories it shared with Saruman after that, I can't read it at all, otherwise we wouldn't have to put so much effort into it."
