Act VII: The Dead (III)

The Reign of Chaos, the Holy War of Dusk, the Battle of the Holy White, the Battle of the Sunset...... The human race has gradually forged its own path in a world of ignorance and feudalism, starting from the overthrow of the dragon rule, to the eternal war with the Dusk Species, and then to the end of the millennial glory of the Arcane Empire...... There have not been many jihad wars in the history of mankind, and each one is familiar to people today.

"Which time did you say? A battle with the Sunset King of the Twilight? ”

"No, an earlier jihad." Avis stood up and said, "A thousand years ago, the Twelve Sages ended the millennial glory of the Arcane Empire, the Floating City fell into the Sea of Stars, the Tower of Babel Balton completely collapsed, eight Grand Arcanists were confirmed dead, and even three gods of great divine power fell. Since then, the brilliance of the arcane has dimmed, and the magical civilization has regressed to the pre-Tumen era. After that, the goddess of magic built a magic web, and a new magical civilization was unfolded from the ruins......"

"You call it the Battle of the Holy White, and we magicians generally call it the 'Battle of the Sages'. It was a miracle, an unrepeatable miracle......"

"What are you talking to us about now?" "Show off your knowledge, Master Master?" ”

"No...... What I'm trying to say is, do you know why the Twelve Sages want to destroy the Arcane Empire? ”

"From what I know." Elijah spoke at this time, after all, she was a highly educated paladin, so she still heard about some history, "because of the brutal rule of the Arcane Empire...... In those days, the Arcanists were so high that they defied the authority of the gods, and finally ushered in the crusade of the gods......"

"It's typical of the church." "But actually...... This answer is not entirely correct. Nowadays, the royal families of many countries do not respect the gods very much, why don't they see them being punished by the gods? Avis laughed, "The reason for this is that the arcanists at that time gradually touched the most fundamental secrets of this world, and they even fought several dimensional wars and conquered several secondary planes...... And this secret also frightened the gods, and so, the most glorious civilization ushered in the end. ”

"What secret did they touch?" Ilya said curiously, this is not the same as her, no, this is not the same history as most people on Big 6 know.

"If I had known what secrets those arcanists knew, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you." Of course Ives lied, and he knew the secret. And Ilya saw it, and she gently 'Oh? He raised his eyebrows and looked at Avis like that. Ives was a little furious by her, and finally said with a wry smile: "Key, although I don't know exactly what the Arcanists have appeared, but the rune mage calls the ...... that is now 'Key'" Speaking of this, Ives recalled the knowledge in the game, "There are some ......explanations about 'key' in the library of Grand Liège"

"On the third floor of the library of the Grand Liège, there is such a book on the shelves near the edge windows." Avis slowly recalled some of the information about the game, and the more he talked, the more excited he became. He didn't show up with his teammates, but the faces of his teammates were getting paler and paler, "The book opened the second page and the message of this 'key' was written...... I remember a rune written on it, almost identical to the one carved into the ground in front of me. The rune is pronounced 'Ruderih', which means 'Stairway to Death'. And there are also mages who believe that it means 'the exchange of corpses and souls'......"

"So." Avis stood up and said, "This blasphemous mage is studying knowledge about the key......"

Ilya gave Ives a deep look and didn't speak. But Mondo was a little surprised and said, "Have you been to the library of Grand Liege?" ”

Before Avis could react, he seemed to feel like he was back in his college dormitory, where he was blowing with his roommate, "yes, I've been to the library of Grand Liege. The library was set up on a snow-capped mountain surrounded by icicles, and every now and then a biting cold wind blew, and half of its main body was suspended in mid-air, and those technologies represented the top magic technology of this era. Rune mages are indeed one of the most powerful mage organizations......"

Mondo was a little stunned and said, "Impossible! You're lying, only rune mages can enter the library of Grand Liege...... Will you be a rune mage? ”

Avis was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was just an inconspicuous first-level mage, and it was still too outrageous to insist that he was a rune mage. Seeing that Ives stopped talking, Mondo snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, is he really a liar who loves to brag, or does the mage like to lie like this?" ”

Avis shook his head with a wry smile and didn't speak. It's just that Elijah and the priest looked at Ives a few more times.

Avis diverted the topic: "Since there is a rune about key in this place, the enemies inside are not something we can deal with. At that time, only the most powerful arcanists, even the Grand Arcanists, could study this rune. I'd better evacuate and let the truly elite clerics deal with the enemies inside...... At least I don't think we'll have the ability to solve the problem here. ”

Mondo snorted, "If you feel afraid, you can leave by yourself." ”

Ilya shook her head: "I agree with Mr. Avis's suggestion, you may not be aware of the fact that you are a warrior...... Something seems to have awakened in this cave now, and even here I can feel the terrible dark fluctuations quite clearly. This is no longer a problem that we can solve, we have to ......"

Before Mondo could speak, they felt something tremble under their feet. Avis's gaze swept around, the earth trembled, his eyes kept jumping up and down, the trees began to shake, and soon he realized that it wasn't just because he was shaking—first the leaves were falling, then the branches, and finally some of the trees fell to the ground with a piercing roar.

Almost immediately, Ives fell to the ground - it was a million times better to lower himself than to fall unprepared. The three experienced mercenaries did the same, but Elijah, who was born as a holy warrior, and the priest named Issinger on the side did not react, and then they were thrown to the ground by the shaking ground. Isinger also let out a slight scream, and subconsciously covered his little ass.

It would have been a lovely move, but now it's deadly!

A huge, green creature leapt out of the ground. The terrible pincers bit straight at the little girl. Miss Priest stared blankly at the terrible creature that was getting closer and closer to her, and forgot to scream.

"Bump!"

With a bang, a blue ball of light smashed directly on the green creature's head, and then the green creature turned around and saw the young mage who had just put down his staff. The young mage let out a soft breath, bitterness written on his face - he didn't want to draw the attention of the 'burrower' if he could. But if the pastor dies, then their safety is really not guaranteed. No one knows better than Ives how beneficial a healing figure can be to the team.

Avis unleashes a magic missile that only hits 3 damage, which is a tickle for a burrower with at least 4o HP. Almost without hesitation, Ives stood up and placed the enchanted magic bolt on the light crossbow in his hand. Stroking the cold butt of the crossbow in his hand, he calmly lifted the crossbow flat. The burrower roared wildly, and it opened its mouth violently, aiming at Avis, who was just ready to fight! Avis immediately pulled up some information about the Digger in his head - this guy, in addition to his terrifying melee abilities, also had the ability to spew terrified sulfuric acid.

Avis took a deep breath, almost subconsciously closing his eyes and not looking at the hideous appearance of the digging worm. Because if he looked at it, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold the crossbow arrow in his hand because of fear!

But he didn't let go of his hand, the elven blood in his body gave him good vision, and after he pulled the trigger, the light crossbow arrow went straight into one of the Digger's eyes. Dark green juice and blood gushed out, and the digging worms roared wildly. The acid that it was about to spit out from its mouth was deflected by the sharp pain and landed beside Avis. The sound of 'Ziz' continued to reach his ears, and Avis understood the terrible consequences of being shot by such a slime.

Almost without hesitation, Ives stepped back and shouted, "Let's go into the cave!" ”

"Are you crazy!" Mondo cried out loudly, "This guy is a digging worm, digging the ground!" It can run underground! ”

Ives didn't forget to show a hearty smile at the moment of crisis: "This ruin is guarded by magical runes around it, and these runes also have the power of 'dispelling animals'...... We just need to run to the ruins, and this digging worm won't chase after us! ”

As soon as Ives's words fell, Elijah had already grabbed Isengard's hand and ran towards the ruins.
