Chapter 302: Senior Investigator

Just as Zhao Xu was thinking, Frost Sword had already arranged for the union members under his hands to assemble the bamboo poles they had carried at the beginning, and then poked into the bottom of the silt to test the depth.

At the same time, he also arranged for fighters to stand on guard against an attack that could come at any time. It has to be said that when a team has a full forty people, there will be plenty of manpower to allocate whatever you want to do.

The whole mud field is more than 100 meters long and wide, and although there is no unpleasant stench, the only thing floating on it is the dead leaves that have just fallen.

At this time, it was judged that the area of silt in front of him was only less than a meter deep, and the four wanderers who were in charge of finding the entrance to the stone chamber walked into the silt one by one, and their steps were very cautious, and each step was first probed through the depth with bamboo poles before continuing to step forward.

And Zhao Xu, who cared about the notes in the stone room, although he felt that things were a bit too coincidental, but at this time, for him, there must be no taboos, and he would take as many as he wanted.

The only problem was that when he saw the notebook, he would not be able to open his mouth to ask for it, otherwise it would seem that anyone would want to swallow the mage tower for himself.

Zhao Xu is not nervous, since the position of the mage tower in the end belongs to him, then naturally the notebook in the back, the frost sword will still be handed over to him, otherwise Zhao Xu will be very troublesome to have the mage tower.

Therefore, Zhao Xu had to make sure that they could enter that mage tower, otherwise Zhao Xu would not be able to open his mouth to ask for it from Frost Sword no matter how many reasons he had.

At this time, Frost Sword looked at the gray and old parchment map in his hand, and continued to direct the four wanderers in the muddy field to advance.

As we went deeper, the depth of the mud had begun to reach the chests of the wanderers.

The high-strength warriors on the shore, who deliberately dragged the wanderers with ropes, also began to hold the ropes.

"There's a raised platform." Suddenly, the wanderer who had opened the way shouted excitedly, and his progress stopped completely, apparently kicking something.

One of the wanderers stood aside with a dagger raised, while the other stood a little further away to avoid any explosions on the raised stone platform.

The other two adventurers are responsible for breaking the closed stone platform.

It's just that the slightly raised stone platform, which is itself the height of the stone pier, is completely below the knees of several people, and if they squat down like this, the mud will completely submerge their heads.

In short, these wanderers don't have long enough hands unless they have developed the ability to crack mechanisms with their feet.

The frost sword on the shore also frowned when he heard the feedback from the wanderer.

At the beginning, when everyone drew up a plan and carried out a sand table deduction, they did not expect this situation at all, and they did not even prepare a few reed poles for breathing.

"Thief, if you don't pout your ass, the sludge will just be over your head." According to everyone's opinions, Frost Sword gives risk advice.

"Oh my boy, try to pout your ass." The Wanderer Thief grumbled when he heard this, and by this time he had bent down to feel the gap from the stone platform.

"That sludge just went over our heads, it's not easy." The thief continued.

And Zhao Xu, who felt that the spell notes were all in front of him, didn't want to make any extraneous branches at this time, and asked directly: "If you get taller, your head should be exposed, right?" ”

"That's for sure." The thief shouted.

Just right away, he sensed something was wrong.

At this time, Zhao Xu, who was on the shore, had already begun to chant the incantation after he scattered a stack of iron powder, after he finished reciting the last syllable.

The iron powder that had been scattered directly turned into a deep light and possessed the thief's body, and suddenly his whole body began to grow, and his height and the length of his limbs were increasing in equal proportions.

In the end, it wasn't until the thief stopped being three meters faster that this transformation completely stopped, and then he looked at Zhao Xu with a blank expression.

"It's a human behemoth that can make you bigger and bigger into a 'big creature'. That way you won't get too short and get drowned in the mud, so go ahead, it's only five minutes. Although Zhao Xu was a little far away, he still said slowly.

Feeling the theft of the effect of the first-level giant technique lingering on the spell on his body, he didn't dare to entangle the problem of height with Zhao Xu, so he immediately gritted his teeth, reached out, and kept groping for the stone platform to see if there were any tricks.

After another ten minutes or so, the thief suddenly showed joy and shouted, "I touched it." ”

Immediately afterwards, there was a tremor on the already calm ground.

When Zhao Xu saw this scene, he also brewed the spell of "flying technique" on the edge of the corner of his mouth.

As soon as something is wrong, he casts a spell.

In an instant, there was a roaring and shaking sound in the entire silt pool, as if the gears of a long time had finally begun to shake, and it was still not enough.

"Alert!" Frost Sword suddenly shouted.

With a swing of their arms, all the rangers raised their longbows and aimed them directly at the wanderers near the stone platform, as if they were the real enemies.

However, Zhao Xu was not the slightest nervous, he had already seen similar methods in the underground temple before, such as using gear machinery to control the lifting or not of the gate.

And the wanderer, who had grown larger, had already retreated a little at this moment, as if he hadn't reacted to the fact that he had actually caused such a shock.

At this time, I saw a cylindrical stone platform like a deep well, slowly rising from the silt pool, only to see that the silt under the accumulation was brought out, revealing all kinds of rotten things, and everyone present was a little disgusted.

And the rising stone well was made of bricks all around, and the height of the well itself was even taller than the height of everyone present.

It's just that after the thief became bigger, he easily climbed the stone well, and then according to the experience of his research institution, he easily untied the sealed cover plate above the stone well.

"President, there's a passage down the well, it's a bit deep." As he spoke, he lightly threw a stone, and even after a few seconds, everyone heard the sound of the stone falling and bouncing.

That well, it's deep.

At this time, Frost Sword also knew that he had to hurry up and hurry under this stone well to explore the notes that recorded the map.

He immediately arranged for people to follow him down the well and into the stone chamber according to the plan.

The mage left this stone chamber for future generations at the beginning, and he himself would not set any complicated traps, so everyone was not too worried.

At this time, Zhao Xu also signaled that they could go down together, and although Frost Sword was a little confused, he still promised directly.

In this way, the people who arranged to go down the well slowly walked through the mud according to the safe route they had taken at the beginning, and finally climbed into the stone well one by one after another, and even the vigilant wanderers entered it at this time.

Zhao Xu didn't think too much at this time, the stone well was not far from him, so he directly drove the teleportation boots under his feet, and appeared on the stone well in the blink of an eye.

The players who could see the surrounding observation of the situation were stunned, but they didn't expect that this tempest mage didn't even want to walk through the mud, and actually used the spell slot to hurry.

When Zhao Xu arrived at the stone well, he found that there were protruding stone steps on the inner wall of the wellhead made of bricks and stones, which could be climbed down slowly along the top hurdles.

So Zhao Xu followed the people who had already climbed down and continued to trigger downward.

In the end, when he climbed to the last hurdle, the bottom was completely suspended in the air, and it was a wide room, and Zhao Xu let go and jumped to the ground.

Underneath the stone well was a spacious room, surrounded by neatly stacked bricks without revealing a single gap, and it was hard to imagine that someone had built such a secret room under the mud a hundred years ago.

At the end of this very spacious chamber was the same stone door, and both wanderers looked at the stone door lock in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Frostsword asked.

"There's a trap here, we'll have to wait until we crack it first." A wanderer who specializes in picking locks and disarming traps said, which is why he came down on purpose.

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and another wanderer, and unlocked the lock.

However, as the minutes passed, the sweat on the foreheads of the two wanderers grew.

Until one of the wanderers stopped, his face was already a little pale from exhaustion, and he kept shaking his head and saying, "I can't crack it at all." ”

The six or seven people on the side were a little strange.

The trap didn't trigger, but it couldn't be lifted?

And the frost sword is also a little anxious at this time, they have been targeted, and they are blocked here at this moment, it will be very wronged.

"Shall I see?" Zhao Xu, who originally didn't want to be in the limelight, saw that the team was stuck in a door lock trap, and also stepped forward.

At this time, another wanderer also stopped, looked at Zhao Xu and said helplessly: "Mr. Hurricane, you mages are doing it, but to remove the trap, you still have to ask us about the profession of wanderer." ”

Zhao Xu didn't care at this time and smiled, he pointed to the trap on the door lock that had not been triggered, and asked, "I can't solve it all the time, but won't it be triggered?" ”

At this time, the wanderer was a little stunned and nodded: "Yes." ”

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu couldn't help but shake his head, that mage also liked to tease his descendants too much.

At this time, Chen Nuo, who also followed, thought that Zhao Xu wanted to use brute force to crack it, and hurriedly shouted: "The percussion technique can't open the stone door, unless you have the five-ring wall piercing technique." ”

But Zhao Xu said happily: "No, it's the phantom trap of the second ring." ”

After saying that, Zhao Xu gently wiped his backpack, and suddenly the mechanical trap on the stone door lock, as if it had changed a spell, was directly transferred to Zhao Xu's backpack.

The trap that was originally on the door lock disappeared on the spot.

It's just that Zhao Xu didn't reach out to erase it at all, and even the target of his spell just now was his backpack.

The whole process is like magic.

At this time, Zhao Xu's focus was no longer on the door lock, and he knew that he needed more dominance next.

He directly took out a certificate badge and said to everyone present: "Tempest, a senior investigator of the Rosicrucifix, is now investigating the extension of the secret temple, and the next process may require everyone's cooperation." ”

Rosicrucius, the secret agency responsible for investigating mysterious events on the ground of Mistra, is also the strongest combat force outside of the spell guard.

Suddenly, the priest who believed in the goddess, Qing Sky, immediately turned sideways to pay respect to Zhao Xu.

It's just that outside of him, the players present couldn't help but beat in their hearts, they were actually that kind of high-level senior investigators!

Did they get involved in Mystra's hidden mission?

Is there a deeper secret to this mage tower mission?
