Chapter 38: The Mysterious Ancient Ruins, Anson Hunted Down.
Under the cover of the mist, Anson and his wife managed to enter the cave.
After entering the cave, I saw that on the wall of the cave, there were obvious traces of artificial excavation, and not far from the inside, the whole passage changed, and the wall was hewn by the mountain stone, and became a passage paved with bluestone slabs.
"I didn't dig too deep after discovering the ruins, but I guess the structure inside should be similar to a tomb palace, and there are not many mechanisms inside. ”
Upon entering the passage, Nikolai introduced to Anson.
"Mechanism......
Hearing the word "mechanism", Anson couldn't help but have black lines on his face, thinking of the last experience, Anson even had the urge to leave here now.
"You'd better not stay too far away from me, after all, your luck is so bad that there's a good chance you'll touch the mechanism here. ”
"What do you call me unlucky, I tell you, it was all an accident..."
Click.
Before Anson could finish his words, the sound of the mechanism being triggered was heard under his feet.
"Rub. ”
Anson, who heard the voice, cursed and immediately ducked to the side.
As soon as Anson flashed to the side, several spears stabbed down from the ceiling.
Click.
As soon as Anson flashed to the side, he triggered the mechanism again, and Nikolai, who was in front of Anson, shook his head and walked forward.
Anson, who triggered the mechanism again, immediately rushed forward, only to see that the bluestone slabs on the surrounding walls fell off in an instant, and countless arrows shot out at great speed.
"Hey, Nikolai, you're too unfortunate to leave me here. ”
After dodging the arrow, Anson looked at Nikolai as he walked forward, roared loudly, and then chased after Nikolai.
But before he could take two steps, Anson touched the mechanism again.
"I'm waiting for you in front, take care. ”
Nikolai, who was in front, waved his hand at the back without looking back, making Anson want to scold the street.
After not knowing how many traps he triggered, Anson finally managed to get out of the passage.
"You're slow. ”
At this time, Nikolai looked at the gray-faced Anson impatiently, and at this time, Anson had been tortured by the mechanism in the passage, and he didn't want to talk back at all.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go. ”
After leaving the passage, Anson and the others had already come to the belly of the mountain, only to see that the entire mountain had been artificially excavated.
At this time, in front of the two of them, there were many buildings that had collapsed due to the passage of time.
And in the deepest part of the complex, there is a tall tower, which is black and cylindrical, and the outer wall of the tower is carved with an unknown totem, which gives the tower a mysterious and solemn feeling.
"I've been focused on exploring ruins since I became an adventurer, but I've never seen this kind of writing, or the totems on the towers. ”
Nikolai walked over to a broken slate, pointed to the blurred text on the slate, and spoke to Anson.
"I'll take a look. ”
Hearing Nikolai's words, Anson walked over to the slate with great interest, crouched down and carefully observed the writing on the slate.
"[Text Analysis]"
Anson used his skills on the stone slab, and after waiting for a long time, several unexplained text messages appeared in Anson's vision.
"The big picture... Grind... Courtyard... Monuments... Records... Exceed... Reincarnation... History. ”
"No, the slate is so corroded that there is no useful information at all, but I guess we're heading in the right direction. ”
When Anson saw the word reincarnation, he instantly frowned.
Because he knew that as long as these two words appeared, then he would definitely find some information he wanted, but if the information here was seriously corroded like this slate, I am afraid that it would be difficult to get useful information.
"Based on my experience exploring the ruins over the years, this place probably existed at least before the Battle of the Demons, but after that, I don't know what happened, and it was abandoned. ”
Nikolai looked around, guessing the story here.
The history of this world, with the Battle of the Demons as the dividing line, is divided into the Prehistoric Calendar and the New Era.
In prehistoric times, the pattern of the world was completely different from today, and the civilizations and currencies of that time were as many as the stars in the sky.
And after the destruction of the Demon War, many civilizations and races have been completely destroyed.
After the Majin War, thanks to the joint efforts of the surviving races, the world was once again prosperous, and it was after this that writing, language, and currency were unified.
"Let's take a look at the tower inside, and you might find something. ”
Anson and Nikolai searched around and prepared to head in the direction of the tower.
"Anson Thomas. ”
Just as the two of them were about to move in the direction of the tower, a woman's angry shout was heard in the direction of the passage.
Hearing this voice, Anson's face changed instantly, and without looking back, he ran wildly in the direction of the tower.
"Yfrit. ”
Hearing the voice sound again, a huge wall of fire instantly appeared in front of Anson, who was running forward, blocking his way.
"Khiva"
Seeing this, Anson hurriedly turned around and summoned Shiva out.
When Anson turned around, he saw a figure unexpectedly appear in the air, and this person was none other than Iphilia.
"When I saw the unnatural fog outside, I guessed it must be you, Mr. Anson Thomas. ”
Iphilia stood in the air, smiling at Anson, but there was an aura on her body that made Anson feel dangerous.
"Iphilia, I'm not here to make trouble, this time it's just a mission, a mission. ”
Hearing Iphilia's words, Anson immediately laughed.
Hearing Anson's words, Iphelia smiled even brighter, she stretched out her right hand, and then said to Anson.
"Since it's a mission, then you take out the file and I'll take a look. ”
"Documents, oh no, I lost them. ”
Hearing Iphilia's words, Anson was instantly embarrassed, and after hurriedly pretending to rummage around his body, he scratched his head and said to Iphilia.
"Oh, lost it?"
"Yes, yes, I lost it. ”
"Mr. Anson, did you know that if adventurers need to explore the ruins of other countries, they must first report to the adventurers' union of their own country, and then the adventurers' union will submit an application to their own country, and finally after consultation and consent between the two countries, the adventurers will go to the capital with the approval documents to make a joint report. ”
"Ah, that's right, all the formalities are done. ”
"What about the Overseer?"
"Overseer?"
"Adventurers from other countries entering their own country to explore the ruins will be accompanied by the Overseers sent by their own country, and the Overseers who will accompany you. ”
"Maybe I got separated, hahaha. ”
"Mr. Anson, it will take at least three months to complete the approval of these procedures just mentioned, and it has only been more than a month since this ruin was discovered. ”
“.....”
Looking at Iphilia's playful expression in the air, Anson was completely speechless, while Nikolai on the side covered his face with his hands, because he really couldn't listen anymore.
"That's right, I don't have the papers, so you can say what you want. ”
Seeing that it was pointless to continue to argue, Anson asked Iphilia directly.
"Quite simply, Anson Thomas, you will be arrested for deliberate aggression and will be permanently deported, Ifrit. ”
As soon as Iphilia's voice fell, Ifrit roared behind her.
I saw that the ground under Anson's feet was red, and a heat wave gushed out, and Anson hurriedly dodged.
As soon as Anson flashed to the side, a pillar of fire erupted from where he was standing.
"Shiva. ”
Anson, who dodged the pillar of fire, raised his hand and shouted at Iphilia in the air, and Shiva, who was behind him, immediately raised his left hand, only to see countless ice spikes appear in the air in an instant, shooting towards Iphilia.
"[Magic Enhancement: Meteor Shower]"
Seeing this, Iphilia raised her right hand, and a magic array appeared in front of her in an instant, only to see countless fire projectiles flying out and crashing into the ice spikes that shot at her.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Yfrit. ”
In a series of explosions, Iphilia whispered to Ifrit.
After hearing Iphilia's voice, Ifrit pushed forward with both hands, only to see that eight magic arrays appeared around it in an instant, and after the magic array appeared, eight pillars of fire erupted from the magic array and blasted towards Anson.
"Shiva. ”
Anson's pupils shrank when he saw the pillar of fire rushing towards him, and hurriedly called out to Shiva.
I saw Shiva holding his hands in the void, and then blowing lightly, the air in front of him directly froze and spread rapidly into the air.
Seeing the rushing pillar of fire, it was frozen in an instant, and Iphilia hurriedly retreated when she saw this.
"Nikolai. ”
Seeing that Iphilia was forced to retreat, Anson hurriedly called Nikolai, who was in a daze, and then immediately turned around and rushed towards the wall of fire.
Nikolai was stunned at first when he heard Anson's voice, and then immediately followed Anson's footsteps and ran towards the wall of fire.
"I want to run again, Ivlit. ”
Iphilia, who retreated, saw Anson running towards the tower and hurriedly stopped.
"Shiva. ”
Hearing Iphilia's voice, Anson clearly felt a powerful magic condensing behind him, and he hurriedly pointed forward with his hand.
Shiva immediately raised his right hand, and a transparent icicle flew out from his right hand.
Seeing that the icicles pierced directly through the wall of fire, leaving a passage on it, Anson ran to the passage and immediately turned around.
"[Magic Enhancement, Magic Duet, Earth Prison]"
I saw that after Anson shouted, two huge high walls directly trapped Iphilia inside.
After trapping Iphilia, Anson and Nikolai quickly made their way through the wall of fire and ran towards the tower.
With a loud bang, the high wall that trapped Iphilia was shattered in an instant, and Iphilia who was out of trouble saw that Anson had passed through the wall of fire, and with a wave of her hand, the wall of fire dissipated instantly.
At this time, Anson and the others were about to run under the tower.
Seeing this, Iphilia hurriedly chased in the direction of Anson.
At this moment, the mutant was born, and I saw that the ground between Anson and Iphilia suddenly bulged, and the buildings on the ground were instantly catapulted away, and a huge figure broke out of the ground.
"Ah~. ”
