Chapter 104: A Manhole Cover (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation!) )
Roaring flames raged wildly through the orc camp, and black smoke rose to obscure the brilliant aura.
Half a day passed, and the Red Dragon Legion quietly watched as the flames burned the orc camp and completely turned it into a scorched earth.
Warwick and Zet Zack rode into the orc camp on a Wyvern, and saw everything inside in ruins, and even the rock-made war fortress crumbled and collapsed in the flames.
The kobold chief didn't take a second look at the ruins, but walked straight to the orc altar with strong magic fluctuations.
Even the idol of the one-eyed orc Geush, the god of killing, the supreme holy place in the hearts of the orcs, cracked in the flames.
Obviously, this statue does not possess any divine powers, and is just an ordinary carved stone statue.
However, the old Dragonwing Kobold Warlock stared at the dense cracks on it, and his face showed ecstasy.
I saw him muttering "I knew it was like this", "Sure enough", "There is really something wrong with this orc camp" and other puzzling words.
Warwick looked confused from the side, he scratched his head with the only remaining arm, there was nothing in front of him, so what did this old guy see?
Or are all the Fa Ye weirdos?
"Wizard Zack, what did you find?"
"Come and see, what is this?" Zet Zack pointed to the stone statue in front of him, no, I should say to the base of the stone statue that was burned black.
"Stone skins burned by flames?"
"No, you can take a good look at it."
The kobold chief wiped away all kinds of messy lime, stone skin, and pitch-black dirt with his claws, revealing strange lines under the pedestal, which were intertwined and connected to each other to form half a very complex rune, which could be seen to be only a small part of it, and the complete rune structure was still buried by the stone statue's pedestal.
"Magic Array?!"
Warwick's eyebrows furrowed, he wasn't a mage, but he also understood that this kind of rune circle was usually something that only a mage could tinker with.
The development of the plot seems to be getting more and more confusing.
"Yes, to be precise, this should be a portal that can be activated, and this half of the rune is usually only used when using a fixed teleportation technique." Zet Zack said after careful analysis.
"So, the orc's secret disappearance has something to do with this portal?"
"From the current situation, it should be so. It was thanks to Patriarch Warwick's good fire, which activated the magic array, that I was able to feel the fluctuations in the magic power. ”
Half an ear grinned, he was a reckless man, although he couldn't understand what the kobold leader was saying, but it seemed that he had made a meritorious service by mistake? He looked at the kobold's eyebrows, and suddenly felt that he didn't seem to hate this thing so much.
"Wizard Zack, do you know where this portal leads?"
"I'll have to do some research, but before I can do that, I'll need to remove this statue."
"No problem." The corners of Warwick's mouth almost reached the root of his ears, and he waved his big hand, "Smash this stone statue for me!" ”
The Red Dragon Legion was full of monsters, and this stone statue, which was only a dozen meters high, was overthrown to the ground by two huge flying dragons in the blink of an eye, and smashed into pieces.
In order to make it easier for the dragon warlock to study, Warwick also ordered the monsters to clear the surrounding ground, and it turned out that the area of the magic array under his feet was amazingly large, almost accommodating half of the orc camp, and the place where the stone statue was pressed was exactly the eye of the array, or rather, the key to activating the magic array.
As a dragon warlock, Zet Zack is born with a strong affinity for magic, and although he specializes in shaping energy, he also has a little involvement in prophecy spells.
He unleashed several detection spells on himself, which were used to analyze various data from the circle, including but not limited to how to activate it, predict the location of teleportation, and so on.
After several hours, Zet Zack slowly stood up, his mental condition was a little sluggish, and it seemed that analyzing this huge portal was also a lot of consumption for him.
"There is still a lot of magic left in this magic array, which means that the orcs have activated it recently." He said.
"Can it be turned on?"
"I'll try as much as I can."
Zet Zack took a deep breath, and the dragon wings that were twice his body slowly expanded, and a low, ancient dragon groan came out of his mouth, and powerful magic fluctuations were sent from all over his body.
"Detect the secret door! (Dragon)"
The old kobold showed great magical strength at this moment, and the tide of mana that diffused from his body was like a roaring torrent, flowing down the eyes of the array into the huge magic array under his feet.
The brilliant magical aura shone again, and when all the engraved spell inscriptions were activated, the lines began to quickly arrange and combine.
The flames of light gradually dissolved and disappeared, and a stone gate that looked ancient and heavy appeared at the feet of many monsters.
The stone door faces the sky, and in addition to various complex rune trajectories, it is also carved with orc totems, which are not in the slightest different shape from the portal.
"It seems that I miscalculated before, this is not an ordinary portal, but probably a portal to the underworld."
The old kobold gasped and said, he was not an orc, and in order to forcibly activate this portal, he almost sucked his magic power dry.
"The underworld?"
"Dark Regions, to be exact." The kobold wizard said in a deep voice.
The mention of this word silenced the monsters present, as we all know, the dark region is a dark world, where all deformed and evil creatures in the world can be found, and it is the dark side of the entire main material plane.
Unlike creatures in the surface world, the vast majority of creatures in the dark world do not like the sun, and war, conquest, decline, collapse, and killing are synonymous with this chaotic and barren land.
"If nothing else, in order to avoid a direct conflict with Your Majesty, the orcs led the whole clan to hide in the dark region, which may be their lair."
The old kobold warlock said in a deep voice, thinking that this was just an ordinary orc clan, but it turned out that they controlled a secret node leading to the dark region, which was not comparable to ordinary clans.
Perhaps, one of the reasons why the orcs don't want to take the initiative to provoke a war is that they don't want this secret node to be exposed.
However, even they themselves didn't expect that a certain licking dog who was bent on His Majesty the Red Dragon would completely display this node in front of all monsters by mistake.
