"Commander, someone is coming! Look at the banner is the people of our 'Wind Wolf Mercenary Group'... It's Glie's squad. ”

"Is that fat man from the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce on the boat?"

"In! There is also an old man in Sequence 7 on the ship, who should be the patriarch of the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce. They're on Poison Chapter Island now..."

"Hey, hey... We've been looking around here for almost two days and haven't found the entrance to the ruins, so we're afraid that the fat man is hiding some key information. Let's keep up..."

......

Raymond felt that he had been ruthless in killing his two sisters,

But compared with the fat guy, the realm is still a lot behind.

This kind of guy who can turn his face with a gun is the kind of ruthless person who really does "killing his sister and preaching". This kind of person will not be nameless in any other way.

......

Poison Island is very close to the Nigel volcano,

The extraordinary mercenary is very strong, and the small prize boat rowed is as fast as a speedboat, leaving a string of white waves on the sea. But even then, it took them hours to weave between the twisting archipelago before they landed on the target island.

The Niguel Islands are covered with huge trees that shade the sky and are covered by tropical rainforest climate, where vegetation grows extremely fast. In a day, the newly-born vines and trees can rise to a height of two or three meters. So even if there were traces of adventurers on the island one day, it could turn into a forest the next day. If you are an ordinary person, it is very easy to get lost in the jungle and die in the belly of the monster in the depths of the jungle...

Poison Island is huge, and when viewed from the sky, it looks like an octopus spread on the sea.

The fat man's move of "abandoning his sister to sacrifice to the sky" seems a bit ruthless, but after being unlucky, he ushered in the peak of his life.

With the blessing of Matthew's green hat aura, the treasure hunt for the group has become inexplicably smooth...

The voyage was smooth all the way and landed on the island smoothly...

Not long after the group landed on the island, they didn't go far in the direction that the fat man casually pointed out, and they didn't even explore a tenth of the poison chapter island, and they successfully found the landmark stone on the treasure map.

It feels like you're in a dream...

There were no twists and turns in this treasure hunt, no encounters with pirates, no murderous adventurers, no poisonous miasma, and no encounters with Warcraft... Even all the means prepared by the mercenaries were not used, and they directly found the place of treasure.

......

In front of everyone's eyes was a ruined stone pillar that looked like an ancient palace.

The dilapidated structures of this ancient ruin can be seen in many parts of the Niguel Volcanic Islands, and it is not unusual.

Matthew leaned on the stone and looked at the carved pattern carefully, and after a few moments confirmed that it was the place recorded in the treasure map.

"That's right! This is it! ”

This discovery made the fat man's sadness of being green swept away in an instant.

The expression of lovelessness all the way suddenly became smiling,

He excitedly shouted at Raymond, "Brother Nicholas, you have really helped me a lot!" If you hadn't helped me decipher the map, I wouldn't have been able to find this place. There are no traces of excavation here at all, it is a complete ruin, and we are going to make a fortune! ”

"Hmm."

Raymond nodded, smiling slightly.

He was not as optimistic as the others, staring at the surrounding forest and frowning slightly, he immediately sensed something.

The powerful Qi lurking in the jungle was obviously aimed at their group. Moreover, the aura of those people is not weak, and they are obviously transcendents of not low rank.

Raymond didn't say anything, because he wasn't sure who was behind these people at the moment.

Maybe it's a pirate who wants to kill people and steal goods,

Maybe it's the fat man who arranged the killing of his own mouth, and wanted to swallow the treasure alone...

Although Raymond didn't mean to hurt anyone, he didn't fully believe this fat man who had only known him for a few days. Matthew's series of operations tonight really made him have a great improvement in his opinion of this guy, mostly praised, and also had three points of defense. This kind of deep scheming, if you can become friends, it's fine, if it's an enemy, you can't stay.

While Raymond was pondering for a moment, the mercenaries over there had already begun to dig.

"Captain Grie, please start digging. The entrance to this ruin is about ten meters above the ground..."

Matthew took the tape measure and looked at the length of the pillar that had protruded from the ground, then looked at the hollow in the stone and looked at the direction of the moon to determine the direction of the excavation.

"In this direction, dig straight down."

"Okay!"

Glee nodded, beckoned the rest of the mercenaries to put down their packs, and directly picked up the guy and began digging.

After all, everyone is extraordinary, and their strength is extraordinary.

However, a quarter of an hour later, Raymond and the others watched as the mud pits dug by the mercenaries gradually revealed the outlines of some ancient palaces.

"Look, it's really dug up!"

"Everyone, work hard, the ruins are down there..."

"It's about to be unearthed... This time I really want to dig up the treasure, and everyone will make a fortune with it! ”

“...”

After a while, the dirt on both sides became higher and higher, and the smell of fresh mud in the air became stronger and stronger, and a complete and sealed giant stone door appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Haha, big guy worked hard!"

Matthew's eyes became more and more bright, and he shouted excitedly: "This is really a relic of an ancient civilization that has never been excavated!" We're rich! ”

Not to mention anything else, even this well-preserved finely carved stone carving is worth a lot of money.

"Oops, I didn't expect such good luck. It's the first time I've gone out to sea to explore, and I've actually dug up a complete ruin of an ancient civilization..."

Ilya's little face was excited,

There was a little color in her crystal eyes, and she muttered, "But why do I think the lines on this underground palace are a little familiar..."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Raymond who was not far away and greeted, "Hey, uncle, don't you know the old Knicks language?" What do you mean by the words carved on this stone carving? ”

Raymond stood on the edge of the big pit, roughly saw the stone carvings cleared out by the mercenaries, and said calmly: "The text on this probably reads 'Sacrifice to the important land, outsiders are not allowed to enter, and if you enter, you will die'..."

There are a lot of such ancient ruins and palaces in the game, and most of them write something like "break into death", but no one takes it seriously. After all, thousands of years have passed since these ruins of dynastic civilizations, and if there is really any curse mechanism or something, it will almost fail, at most there are some monsters and monsters entrenched in the ruins.

"Oh, that's it..."

Ilya raised her eyebrows slightly, not knowing what she thought, and a touch of brilliance flashed in her crystal eyes.

......

"Captain, this stone door can't be pried open! The stone was so hard that I chiseled it with all my might, but I didn't even leave a trace..."

The mercenaries who dug the pit tried to open the closed stone door, but found that they couldn't.

The stone gate was like a completely closed stone wall, and there was no crack in sight.

"I'll try."

The mercenaries tried all kinds of methods to no avail, and Captain Gree had to jump down the pit himself to try, but also failed to open the gate.

Conventional methods are useless, and I can only try to open it violently.

Gelie pulled out the giant sword behind him, and his true qi surged and overflowed, slashing down with all his strength.

"Keng~"

After the fire splashed, a shallow white mark was left on the stone door.

Sequence 7: The transcendent who awakens the power of the power strikes with all his might, and the power is comparable to explosives, but it is useless at all.

Obviously, violence can't open the stone door.

"This stone gate is strange, and I'm afraid the steel pouring is not so hard..."

Geleg put the greatsword on his back, his eyes solemn.

Matthew panicked, "Huh? That... If this door can't be opened, won't the treasure below be obtained? ”

Glee sighed, "I've tried all the methods that should be tried, I'm afraid it's hard to open it..."

“...”

The treasure is just behind a door, where is Matthew willing.

"I'll take a look..."

He also dragged his fat body and jumped into the mud pit, and after studying for a long time to no avail, he could only turn to Raymond for help.

"Brother Nicholas, you are a polymath, do you see something?"

Raymond thought about it, and it seemed that this stone also appeared in some of the high-level temples revealed in the later stages of the game.

"This... If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be the mythical 'Olin Stone', which is said to be a stone quarried from the sacred mountain where the gods lived during the ancient gods, and it is usually used as a palace for the gods, and it is extremely hard, and it is unlikely to be opened by external force..."

If it was really as he guessed, the ruins temple in front of him was probably not simple.

Matthew listened to it and said urgently, "Then what should we do?" ”

Raymond thought about the methods in the game to open the ruin stone door, and said, "This should be opened in a specific way, either a mechanism, a spell, or some kind of magic seal..."

Hearing this, Matthew immediately thought of the spell on the treasure map, and said in surprise: "Could it be the spell on the treasure map?" ”

As he spoke, he excitedly pulled out a piece of paper, which was the original words of the spell that Raymond had translated.

He didn't wait for Raymond to say anything, and just said out: "Great Nix God, you broke the darkness and brought light... Nothingness and destruction, the ban that liberates the soul, you guide me to open the door of mystery..."

When the incantation is finished,

Silence, deathly silence.

Moments later,

Nothing happened.

Quack, quack, quack...

More than a dozen onlookers staring at the fat man only felt that a few black crows seemed to fly overhead, and there was an embarrassing coldness.

After reciting this awesome-sounding incantation, it didn't work at all.

The stone door was still tightly closed, and there was no intention of triggering the door opening mechanism at all.

"This sand sculpture spell is completely useless..."

Matthew's fat face twitched sharply, and he asked Raymond in embarrassment: "Brother Nicholas, this doesn't seem to be of much use, did I read it wrong?" ”

Raymond smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Even if it's a spell, it should be recited in the ancient Nyx language... However, the Knicks civilization is a dynastic civilization, and the meaning of the words can still be deduced, and the pronunciation has really been completely lost. ”

"Huh?"

Matthew thinks about it.

He showed an extremely unwilling expression, and said, "Then aren't we completely helpless now?" We can't just give up when all the treasures are in front of us, right? ”

"Spells are just one of the possible ways."

Raymond thought for a moment and said, "Maybe this door is not a spell to open, it's just that we haven't found the right way." Let's look carefully, maybe there are other passage mechanisms or something..."

"That's right!"

Matthew rolled his eyes and said to the mercenaries, "Big guys, look carefully, dig a little deeper, and see if there are any other entrances." ”

At the sound of an order, everyone went into the pit.

After a few moments, the dirt near the stone gate was also completely cleared, revealing its full face.

......

"This stone gate is so well preserved, I'm afraid it is really a relic of an ancient civilization that has never been opened for thousands of years..."

Raymond also squatted in front of the stone gate, rubbing the yang carved symbols on the stone door.

He was surprised that this expedition actually came across the ruins of the temple forged by the "Orin Stone".

The appearance of the stones in this mythological story means that the ruins may be of a very high grade, and it is definitely not an ordinary sacrificial temple... The game's story-related trigger levels are very high, and the Black Sea has never heard of a temple ruins of this level.

At this time,

I don't know where Ilya's girl came from,

She also learned from Raymond to squat in front of the stone door, rubbing and studying the stone carvings decently, and muttered in pieces: "Ouch... How do I always think these patterns are so familiar... Have you seen it in any ancient book? ”

“...”

Raymond rolled his eyes, not intending to pay attention to this squirrel, and lowered his head to study the stone gate to himself.

Ilya didn't mind, rubbing the ancient symbols to herself.

Others didn't notice that under her crystal eyes, a touch of increasingly strange emotions appeared, as if she was seeing an old friend.

I don't know when,

Raymond suddenly heard someone chanting an ancient incantation in his ear, and his voice was like a lark.

“?ερογλ?φο?Э?Ю?Я?а㏕мн... о㎜бвγλ?φειν?...”

He listened closely, but he didn't understand what the incantation was saying...

The chant was faintly like the soft chant of nature, faintly fitting into some strange magical rules, and as if it resonated with the ancient gods in the dark.

This seems to be an ancient spell?

"What's going on!"

Raymond was startled and quickly turned his head to see where the sound came from.

Just in time, I saw Ilya's girl smacking her lips, as if she had just finished singing.

Raymond felt in a trance that he should have triggered some hidden plot again, and asked, "Elijah, what spell did you just chant?" ”

"Huh?"

Ilya blinked with a pair of crystal eyes, full of doubts, "Uncle, what did you say?" What spell? ”

"Didn't you just say a spell? What are you reading? ”

"I didn't read it? Did you hear it wrong? ”

“...”

Raymond looked at Elijah's pure jewel-like eyes and didn't doubt what she said.

Could it be that she heard it wrong, that the incantation was not chanted by her?

Or...

This relic itself leaves a setting, and certain situations will trigger auditory hallucinations, such as mental power reaching a certain limit?

He thought of the plot in the game, this kind of ancient civilization ruins will always trigger some mysterious events, but it is also normal.

"That spell, I think I've written it down..."

At this moment, Raymond only felt that the ancient spell was chanted repeatedly in his head, lingering.

When he awakened Sequence 8 [Tomb Robber], he automatically comprehended a C-level passive skill [Unforgettable].

Now he can clearly write down what he has seen or heard once.

For example, the ancient spell that seems to be an "auditory hallucination" just now.

"Or... Do I try it myself? ”

Thinking of this,

Raymond opened his mouth and spat out the first syllable,

The syllables I heard just now were a little awkward, and they were not at all like the pronunciation habits of the current lingua franca of great navigation. He could only slowly, syllable-by-syllable recollection, babbling and jerkily singing out of his mouth.

“?ερογλ?φο?Э...”

As soon as this incantation came out of his mouth, a strange scene appeared!

Click...

Suddenly, everyone felt that their bodies shook slightly, as if a slight earthquake had occurred.

Everyone heard the melodious chant and clearly understood something.

At this moment, they all let go of what they were doing, and their eyes were focused on Raymond in shock.

The movement grew louder and louder, as if the whole temple was about to emerge from the ground...

The sound of "click" is endless.

"Look, there's a crack in the door!"

At this moment, everyone watched as the stone gate, which had been completely helpless before, actually slowly opened a gap, and as the incantation chanted gradually increased, the gap in the gate opened wider and wider.

At this moment, the fat man Matthew looked at Raymond, the essence in his little eyes became brighter and brighter, and his heart was shocked, "My obedient... The Nicholas brothers not only knew ancient texts, but also how to read them... It's really right to bring him this time! ”

The last syllable of the ancient spell came out of Raymond's mouth,

Click, click, click...

Stone chips fell, and the giant door opened.

Ancient ruins that had been hidden for thousands of years finally came to light at this moment.

Behind the huge stone door was an endless dark passageway...

"Hahaha..."

Seeing this scene, Matthew felt that he was going crazy and roared excitedly, "Brother Nicholas! It's opened, we've really opened the ruins door! ”

At this moment, everyone's hearts were extremely excited.

The treasure is finally in sight!

Within reach...

"Let's go!"

Matthew affectionately hooked Raymond's shoulders and prepared to walk towards the ruins, "Brother Nicholas, the treasure is waiting for us again." ”

However, at this moment, Raymond did not move, but frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?"

The fat man was still a little confused,

But when he turned his head, dozens of strangers appeared on the pit,

His face changed dramatically in an instant.

"Hey, hey... This ruin is so hidden, it's really not easy to find, I didn't expect any of you to know the ancient language of Nix... Tsk, thank you so much for helping us open the ruins gate..."
