Outside the door, Sersi looked at the comer, whose face was hidden under his robe, and his lips opened and closed.

"May I ask this gentleman, what is the reason for coming here so late?"

"Wizard Sersi is like this, I have a text from an ancient ruin, and I would like you to please take the trouble to translate it. The visitor said, handing over a piece of parchment with strange words copied on it.

Sersi glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it, for nearly a year, she has been helping people translate all kinds of relic texts, and when it comes to it, she is quite famous. It's normal for strangers to come to the door, there have been several times before, but it's only in the middle of the night, and it's really the first time.

Putting down the parchment, Sersi looked at the comer, nodded, and said, "Okay, just leave the things here with me, and if you come back in three days, I will give you the translation." Generally speaking, the price of my translation is one low-grade crystal coin for every ten words, which is one hundred gold coins per word. If you are not satisfied, you can go to someone else. ”

"No, I'm very satisfied with Wizard Sercy's offer, but I want to ask, can Wizard Sersi help me translate now, I can give five ...... No, triple the price, because I'm really in a hurry. The visitor looked at Sersi and pleaded.

Sercy smiled: "It's not about the price, it's about my limited ability." I'm not sure what text you've given me, and if the translation time is too short, the result may be wrong, but I'm afraid it will have a big impact on you. ”

"No, no. The visitor shook his head quickly, "Wizard Sersi doesn't have to worry about me, I can accept some minor mistakes." As long as you can translate the general meaning, please. ”

After speaking, the visitor bent down deeply and bowed to Sercy.

Sersi blinked his eyes, as if hesitating, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "Okay, if you really don't mind some minor mistakes, just come in with me, and I'll translate it for you." If it goes well, maybe the results will be handed over to you in a few hours. ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do. ”

Sercy said lightly, leading the visitor towards the side study.

......

Under the thick darkness of the night, a desolate mountainous area on the main continent.

Five people gathered on a huge stone wall, anxiously waiting for something.

One minute, one minute, another minute......

I don't know how long it has passed, but one of the brown-haired men shook his body, sensed something, reached into his arms, and felt a crystal ball.

At this time, the inside of the crystal ball appears a brilliant and colorful luster, which changes rapidly according to the law, conveying the predetermined information.

After more than ten seconds, the luster disappeared, and the brown-haired man put away the crystal ball, looked at the other people, nodded and said, "The content has been translated, and it is the third method that we guessed before." ”

"Then start it immediately, the province will drag on for too long and there will be variables. The other green-haired man listened, and said quickly.

"Good. The third blue-robed man said.

"Yes. The fourth man in the green robe said.

The fifth person next to him was a few centimeters shorter than the other four, and he looked much younger, just a teenager. A pair of gray eyes kept turning, with a little uneasiness, listening to everyone's words, and also echoed: "I think it's okay......"

However, the other four ignored him, and after exchanging opinions, they took direct action without waiting for him to finish.

The green-haired man, who was the first to propose, strode towards the stone wall next to him, raising his hand and pressing heavily on the surface of the stone wall.

The mana in the law source in the body quickly gushed out and poured into the stone wall, and with a "buzz" sound, the stone wall vibrate, and a large number of stone chips fell off the "slurch", and complex lines of finger thickness appeared on the surface.

The lines gave birth to a cool blue glow, which spread rapidly, and finally outlined a three-meter square gate pattern on the stone wall.

With a "bang", the "gate" shattered, revealing a downward, pitch-black passage that led to no apparent location.

As soon as the green-haired man raised his hand, a viscous gray-white flame like glue erupted in his palm and was thrown towards the passage.

The flames fell to a height of more than ten floors and more than 30 meters before they bottomed out, illuminating a wide road leading to the belly of the mountain.

The rest of the people looked around, and the brown-haired man was the first to speak: "Everything goes according to the original plan: I will guard over here to prevent accidents, and you go in and explore, and when you get something, you can come out as soon as possible, and do not delay to avoid accidents." ”

"Hmm. ”

The green-haired man answered, and the rest of the people did not object, the green-haired man looked at the entrance of the passage, silently estimated the danger below, and felt that it was not too high, and he was about to jump off when he took a step.

At this time, the blue-robed man stretched out a hand and stopped in front of him.

The green-haired man was a little puzzled, and then saw the blue-robed man give him a look, and bowed to the short, gray-eyed young man next to him.

The green-haired man had some enlightenment, thought about it, turned around, pointed at the gray-eyed boy, and ordered: "You, the first one to go down for me." ”

"Me?" the gray-eyed boy was startled, obviously a little surprised, and even more flustered.

The green-haired man glared and scolded, "What, don't you want to?" Do you want to obey yourself or do you want me to drop you down?"

The gray-eyed young man's face turned pale, his expression struggled a few times, and he found that the other four were all looking at him unkindly, knowing that there was no choice, and finally bit his lip and said, "I...... I'll go down on my own. ”

"That's good. The green-haired man said, leaning to the side to make way for the gray-eyed boy.

The gray-eyed boy strode to the entrance of the passage and began to chant incantations, light flashing on his body, casting defensive spell after spell to keep him safe.

Just when the rest of the people were a little impatient, the gray-eyed boy stopped his preparations, and cast a final "feather fall technique" on himself, jumping towards the passage.

As soon as he jumped in, the gray-eyed boy let out a short exclamation, twisted his body, and the whole person did not slow down without slowing down, like a bird with broken wings, falling straight down.

"Smack!"

The gray-eyed boy finally slapped heavily under the vertical passage more than thirty meters deep, convulsed a few times, coughed up a few mouthfuls of foaming blood from his mouth, and did not move.

On the ground, a few onlookers couldn't help but be silent for a while.

After a long time, the green-haired man spoke up and analyzed with a calm face: "It seems that there is a forbidden sky spell. ”

"It's normal. ”

"It's to be expected. ”

"It's just a pity for that wizard's apprentice's child. The brown-haired man sighed, "Alas, the forbidden sky spell is not too dangerous. If I had known earlier, I could have kept that child alive...... In this way, he can also test the next trap and save waste. ”

"Definitely. The green-haired man agreed, "But it doesn't matter, isn't the reason why I arrested him just to find a way to send him to death, and now I can be regarded as successfully completing the mission." I don't believe that there are really so many dangerous traps in the passage. ”
