Chapter 236

As Ver and Islay made their way through the long, dark tunnel, the area illuminated by Vere's torches suddenly expanded, only to find that they had come to a stone room.

"Is this the place where the mage lives in seclusion?" Ver walked out of the tunnel and into the room, where Elletair followed.

"Lampstone...... Let's find the lampstone first. Elettair swept around and came to a corner of the room. Got it. As he spoke, he took out a stone and infused it with magic on a lampholder in the darkness.

The whole room suddenly lit up. "It looks like the lampstone here is still working."

Although there were a few places where it was obvious that there should be a lampstone that should have shone and it didn't light up, most of the lampstones were filled with magic and lit up.

The stone that Eltael had just taken out was like a battery, replacing the energy stone that had lost its magic power, and crashing into a new one.

"The things here look new...... "Will put away the torch and come to a long table, and blew lightly with his mouth, "Poof! Ahem! Bah! …… I retract what I just said. ”

The dust on the table was blown by Will, like a sandstorm, and flew wildly in front of Will, covering Will's entire face with a layer of dust.

Vere rubbed his face twice and looked back at Elletair, who was roaming around a bookshelf, "Is this it?" ”

"That's right, this is it...... It's easier to find than you think. Eletair suddenly remembered something, and quickly came to a small table with many things. I'm looking for ......," she picked up the note from her desk, "look at the man here, it's ancient writing...... The notes are blurry and I need to make out for a moment. ”

"Then you look first, I'll look for any other doors first." Ver greeted and walked to the other side of the bookshelf and table.

The whole room is in a T-shape, and they are now in the area in the upper right corner of the T-shape of the room.

Wer first came to the intersection at the top of the T, from which the whole room could be seen.

Directly opposite the room they came to was a room with all sorts of strange miscellaneous items, bottles and jars, which looked more like a utility room.

On the wall to the right of Wiel, there must have been a painting, but it was now scattered on the ground.

To the left, there should be a resting place like a bedroom and dining room, and it is also the largest piece of the room.

Will turned and walked over, to the bottom of the T-shaped room.

The place seems to be very cluttered, and it must have been caused by someone leaving the place in a panic.

A comfortable bed that looked like it was worth a lot of money, and the cloth on the bed was scattered all over the floor, and the obvious wrinkles and traces of loss were obvious at a glance, like the signs left by the rape after fleeing quickly.

However, the dust here has fallen all over the 'ravines' formed by the cloth, and some of the cloth that has fallen to the ground and is soaked with oozing water has broken and disappeared.

"What is it that makes this person leave in such a panic?" Weir's brow furrowed slightly, and he looked to the other side.

A humble hut that Veel didn't want to go into.

There was also a more elegant fireplace, and a broken jar planted in the middle of the fireplace, but again, everything was covered in dust.

This is supposed to be a resting place for those who live here.

Weel continued on, following the direction in which the cloth had been pulled, to the bottom of the T-shaped room, and to the other end of the area.

"No door? Is there only one exit? Vere touched the wall in front of him with his hand, it was hard, and there was no hollow sound, and it didn't look like a dark turnstile.

"Strange ......" Will looked back at the scattered marks on the ground, it was obvious that someone was running in this direction, right? Did the man run this way and then go back and run somewhere else?

Weir's brow furrowed even tighter, if there was no door here, then that tunnel was the only exit, which means that they were trapped here now?

No...... Veil thought it was impossible, the tunnel was clearly not a normal passageway, and a ruin could not use a ruins as an exit.

There must be other doors, Wille was sure, but he hadn't found them yet.

"Where will it be?" Wiel pulled the humble hut away from it, then closed it, "Not this place. "Because it's a thatched house.

Vere looked at the fireplace, "Wait...... Fireplace? "In a place buried deep underground, would someone use a fireplace?

The chimney of the fireplace reached all the way to the roof of the house, which was made of complete stone bricks.

But this also shows that the chimney of that fireplace must have been able to emit fireworks to the outside, otherwise people at that time would not have made a fire in this fireplace to cook.

"What the hell is going on?" Weier didn't understand it, but Weier knew that the chimney must lead to a place, but it was obvious that it couldn't get into the chimney...... "Get in?" Alas~" Will hurried a few steps forward to the side of the fireplace, threw aside all the crockpots there, and looked inside.

Will looked up along the chimney of the fireplace, and in the light of the surrounding lights, his pupils shrank sharply, and he was really startled.

Because in the narrow chimney, a skeleton was stuck there. His upper limbs hung down, and his two hollow eyes confronted Will.

"I'm rough!" Wille took two steps back, because the fireplace was too low, and when Wille withdrew, he slammed the back of his head against the stone bricks, "Oh my bang! Weir clutched the back of his head, "Damn! The ......two eyes widened at the fireplace, and the crockpot that had been placed aside was kicked aside by the panicked retreating Weel.

……

On the other side, Elletair was at his desk flipping through the book on the table. The ancient text was buried in dust, and Eltael had to shake the dust off the book and look at it while coughing.

"It's an older language...... The Sacred Tree, the Seal...... I should be able to find ...... The power that mages have been looking for. Elettair looked at it seriously, but couldn't help frowning, "The text on this is obscure......

As she spoke, she looked around again, "Where the hell is that mage's codex?" Putting down the books in her hand, Elettire cut her hair so that they could not obscure their vision, and then walked to the side of the bookshelf, carefully looking at each book.

"These are old texts, and they should be of some use...... If I can decipher it. A look of surprise flashed in Elletaire's eyes. If there are ancient secrets in this, I should be able to find those dusty powers. ”

Codex...... Codex ...... "Elletaire's figure suddenly froze, and came to a halt in a corner. There was a small table, placed under the wall, sandwiched between the bookshelves.

"There are a lot of notes here...... "Many of the notes have been yellowed and shredded because of the age, and most of the remaining ones have lost their handwriting.

Eletel didn't touch it, but held her breath and leaned forward, carefully reading the handwriting on it.

"It's the mage's record!" Elletel was overjoyed, "Wand...... Target...... Arrived, thought ......"

"Ancient Star Spirit...... The ...... in the ruins, the Codex needs to be recorded......" Eletair lifted her spirits and continued to look down.

At this moment, the voice of Wille was heard, "Oops, I'll rub! Then, there was a sparse clattering sound of shattering.

Elettel quickly stood up and ran towards the place where Veel had made a sound.
