Chapter 18: The Lord of the Embers
This ring Mu Yan had seen in another place, specifically a video uploaded by a mage player from the Jialan Empire.
In the year of Aoki, Amacer single-handedly passed the test, and when Jialan and a group of young talents returned with a beautiful woman, Idril and his clenched hands carried this.
Maybe it's the ring, maybe it's just an imitation, but it doesn't matter anymore, because it's in Heru, and that means more than anything else.
This is the symbol of the Glazer, named Ember Ring, and the key to unlock his mage tower "Ember".
Mu Yan grabbed the ring and rinsed it with water, and then the ring flashed red, and the water stain evaporated by itself.
After the desert circle disappeared, he spread out his senses, and found that it was not an enchantment that had previously isolated his senses, but a special ceiling—or the floor of the storage room, and even the floor under his feet now, made of the same material.
"Maybe there's something down there?"
He began to search for it on the ground.
……
Ten minutes later, he found a groove under the mirror of the previous reflex dissociation that was clearly intended for the ring.
After removing the dirt from the inside, he inserted the ring into it, and there was a soft "clang" on the floor, and then a crack appeared.
Mu Yan lifted the floor tiles along the crack and threw a lighting crystal at the pitch-black staircase. The crystal thumped down, and the sound faded until it was gone.
"Shamu, can you calculate how deep this tunnel is?"
The sound is normal for the first three seconds, rolling forward about 5.74 meters and descending 2.00 meters. After that, the sound was too low to capture the signal, and the frequency of its attenuation was estimated to be more than 50.0 meters long and 17.4 meters deep.
He pulled the ring out of the groove and found that as the slab was lifted, it began to glow faintly, and no longer flickered, as if there was something underneath that connected with it.
"What's the difference between not going down at this time and salted fish, you say yes, Xia Mu."
The keyword 'salted fish' was detected, suspected of being a mockery of the database, and was put on standby for five minutes to show anger.
“…… You're not wise at all...... It's human. He shook his head and walked down with a smile.
……
"Xia Mu, how many meters have I probably descended?"
43.9 meters forward and 15.3 meters vertically down.
Mu Yan looked at the glimmer of light that suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but hesitate. If something happened to him at this distance, he wouldn't be able to run.
But the ring on his hand was already bright and a little hot, and it was clear that the target was below.
Just as he hesitated, a voice suddenly came from below.
"You're not my good apprentice, who are you?"
Mu Yan was shocked and immediately asked, "Xia Mu, did you scan me just now?"
No anomalies have been found, and the possibility of the target exceeding level 75 cannot be ruled out.
As he hesitated, the voice came again, this time directly into his head.
"Don't worry, I can't be a threat to you."
This perception was surprisingly gentle, as if it was really as he said there was no trace of malice, just a scan.
"You're ......," he exclaimed, with some curiosity.
"A dying prisoner, don't care."
Although the other party spoke Heru, there was a style that he was very familiar with...... Mu Yan suddenly had a bold guess.
"[Lingua Franca] you ...... Are you a Morningstar? ”
The voice also answered him in lingua franca.
"You...... Also? ”
The other party also sounded a little incredulous, his voice trembling slightly, and he was also a little tentative.
Mu Yan swallowed his saliva, and asked him as he walked down quickly:
"Your Excellency, can you answer me a question?"
"Please."
"If you were one of the lucky ones with outstanding talents, who had been tested by the Elemental Towers since you were a child for excellent mage talents, and who had grown up healthily under their patronage, what would you say when one day they gently asked you, 'Do you want to join the Elemental Towers and serve the goddess Ikali together?'"
The voice was silent for a long time, and then Mu Yan heard a chuckle that was full of vicissitudes, which seemed to be full of hatred and disdain.
"Fuck the Elemental Tower, I'll choose the Mage Guild."
Hearing this answer, Mu Yan actually felt like tears welled up in his eyes.
"Lord Glazer, is that you?"
"I didn't expect anyone to remember my name, what should I call you, little one. Is it still a faith calendar? ”
At this time, Mu Yan finally walked to the bottom, and the scene in front of him made him feel a surge of anger in his heart, eager to resurrect Ash and kill him again, and even forgot to answer the old man's question.
It was a cell, the air was muddy and gave off a faint stench. There was an empty space all around, except for a chair that could be seen at a glance to have been removed from above, and only in the middle stood a cross on which an old man was nailed.
The old man was almost covered in **, wearing only a pair of coarse cloth shorts, his body was covered with whip marks, and the swollen wounds were already black. His palms and feet were pierced by the polished spikes of ghost wood, the wounds were black and no longer bleeding, maggots crawling in and out, and a few buzzing flies fluttering around him. The long hair and beard were tangled, and the face could not be seen clearly, except for a faint glimmer of wisdom in a pair of eyes.
"Mr. Glazer......"
He stepped forward quickly, burned the spikes and the cross, and placed the old man on the ground, and the water elemental continued to gather and burrow into the other man's body like a ribbon.
"Young man, your elemental manipulation skills are good."
The old man's actual voice was not as mellow as he had delivered, like a dry branch rubbing against it.
"What the hell is going on?" Mu Yan helped the other party to sit on the chair next to him, and took the "Twilight Chronicle" you are reading now Chapter 18 The Lord of Ember is only half a chapter, if you want to see the full version, please search Baidu: (Ice + Thunder + Chinese + Text) Search again after entering: Twilight Chronicle
