Chapter 215: The Magic Corridor
There was no end in sight to the long and dark passageway, and if it weren't for the light that symbolized hope in front of them and the steps that appeared under their feet, I am afraid that the mages would have started the mode of complaining a long time ago. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"We're here." Looking at the gate blocking the way, Ryan's voice was a little muffled.
This is not only the reason for the long silence, but more importantly, it is not surprising that behind this will be Salonrose's personal domain. In other words, the real danger of this mage tower is about to be presented to him!
It has to be said that although Ryan's strength plummeted due to his weak state, his timing ability helped him to a certain extent.
Condition: Weak (3 hours)
It's really surprising, I was in a coma for a few hours, and most of the rest of the day was spent on the road!
The scale of this mage tower is too strange, or rather, could it be that there are spell effects affecting you? But what is the intent?
A large number of doubts appeared in Ryan's mind, and he inexplicably felt that this mage tower did not seem to be as simple as he thought.
"Ryan, what's wrong?"
Sophia's call brought Ryan back to his senses, and the latter smiled lightly to indicate that he was okay, and then turned to the crowd and said in a solemn tone: "Behind this door should be Salonrose's private territory, whether it is knowledge or curiosity, but his accidental death will definitely activate the defenses." ”
"That is, when we open this door, we are in danger that is really life-threatening."
"I don't care how much you prejudice me, but if you want to follow me, then remember, be obedient!"
After saying this, Ryan retreated to the wall, took out the dry food from his waist bag, and chewed it slowly.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, most of them have taken a break in place, after all, as a pampered mage, a long time of travel has already made them physically and mentally exhausted, and it is also appropriate to take a rest.
Even the students who were seriously dissatisfied with Ryan fell to the ground with a sigh, and they didn't have the heart to pay attention to this half-elf who suddenly appeared and seized command.
But there are exceptions.
Cecilia, who is also a part-time Ranger of no lower level, did not even feel the slightest tiredness, kneeling in the corner, and a posture of not entering the living made everyone involuntarily keep their distance from her.
Ryan looked with envy at the knee-length boots on her feet through the robe lifted by the other party, the expensive enchanted silk shimmered with a faint silver shimmer in the shimmering light, and the delicate and intricate obscure inscriptions not only carved a freehand delicate pattern on the monotonous boots, but also apparently gave the boots a powerful enchanting effect.
Seeing this, Ryan glanced down at his low-quality cowhide boots, which had begun to fade.
Tsk, what a profiteer!
Ryan pursed his lips, his face full of depression. Obviously, if he had a chance to return to Horncreek City, he would definitely go to the hammer smithy again.
However, he seems to have forgotten that this set of leather armor was blackmailed with a standard sword...... In exchange for ......
Ryan is not dead-eyed, he didn't wait for the state of weakness to be completely lifted, after all, sometimes, weak strength is not a bad thing.
Glancing at the mages behind him, the corners of Ryan's mouth curled up in an inexplicable arc, and then slowly pushed the door open.
Not to mention that such a group of mages do not lack their own few spells, and now no one comes out to make trouble for themselves, presumably because of the imperceptible magic fluctuations on their bodies, they are unwilling to lose their value for this. After all, it had only been such a short time since he entered Shining Star Castle, who would have thought that he had already reached the strength of a mid-level spellcaster?
As the planks rubbed, a screeching sound spread far away, but no echo could be heard at all, and the silence of the space was tingling.
Ahead, the door slowly opened, and a soft, bright light shone into everyone's sight.
I saw a wide corridor with no end in sight in front of everyone, and unlike human aesthetics, Salonrose placed countless rare plants on both sides of this corridor.
Unfortunately, time has passed, and a hundred years have passed, and most of the fragile plants have long since withered. However, survival of the fittest, in this magical place, the surviving individuals have already undergone surprising changes.
Countless verdant vines and luxuriant foliage covered almost the entire corridor, and the walls, ceilings, and even the floor under his feet were covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and earth.
Even more stunning, the tangled veins and rhizomes of the plants are covered with thin blue lines.
Carefully stroking these natural magic circuits, the mages felt as if the power in their bodies was becoming more and more powerful.
Of course, this is just a delusion.
Compared to the ease and exhilaration, Ryan seemed a little out of place.
He silently retreated to the back of the crowd, clenching his left hand tightly, feeling the magic around him like a tide, and his expression gradually became tense.
Ryan hadn't forgotten Taylor's warning, the higher the concentration of mana, the more serious the side effects of the magic surge would be. Although the magical aura here is lighter and calmer than the turbulent area outside, it still has the ability to threaten him.
Strangely enough, though, the magic quickly filled the space around him, and Ryan didn't feel the slightest discomfort. Except for the smoother breathing, lighter steps, and even a faint increase in strength, he didn't notice anything wrong.
Could it be an illusionary effect? Or is it because of weakness and forbidden demons?
Glancing at the attribute panel, Ryan's brow furrowed fiercely, his face full of surprise that was overflowing.
Although the concentration of magic here is higher than that of the outside world, I don't know if it is due to the closed environment, there is no sign of disorder, and the spellcasters here are like fish in water, and they are in a good mood.
Visitors are constantly weaving through this dreamy corridor, sometimes stopping to study the exotic plants in the vicinity, sometimes peeling aside the dense foliage to explore the history buried deep in the river of time, or the strange things left behind.
Only a few people remembered Ryan's speech and didn't move around at will.
Seeing that the latter was not in a state, Sophia gently tugged at the hem of his clothes: "What's wrong with you?" ”
His thoughts were interrupted, and Ryan stopped meditating, but his weak state was about to be lifted soon, and in order to prevent accidents, he still had to leave here quickly: "I'm fine, let's go, there shouldn't be anything you want here." ”
Ignoring the mages who were either elegant or brutal in search of treasure, Ryan moved forward with a slightly hurried pace. Lanier apparently agreed with him and silently followed.
Cecilia glanced in disgust at the mages rummaging for the relics, and then out of sight, she walked forward as well.
Sophia looked at the backs of several people, and then turned to look at the others, wanting to warn, but afraid that it would not ruin Ryan's plan.
Just as she was finishing her struggle to keep up, the mage not far away ripped off a piece of plant rhizome, revealing half of the steel armor wrapped in layers of branches.
Pupil-widening is the familiar pattern carved into the armor.
If I'm not mistaken, it's exactly the same as the two golems in the preaching hall.
