After witnessing Lilith and Arya work together to dispose of the four puppet guards guarding the door, Countess Callea and her exploration team confirmed that the scene was safe, and soon after entered the corridor under the supervision of Finn and Camussa, each of them crouched down next to the remains of the four puppet guards to examine the remains of the four puppets.

The remains of the four puppets lying on the floor of the corridor, their armor torn and blackened by the flames, seemed to Countess Callea to be a novelty, the existence of the puppets she had only seen in the notebooks of some wizard friends when she was young, and now the reality of seeing was believing, which made her both curious and a little nervous at this time, she leaned down and carefully rummaged through the remains of the puppet craftsman with her hands wearing non-slip gloves, the expression on her face had long since lost the fear for her own safety a few minutes ago, After a while, he raised his head with an excited expression and turned back to the rest of the exploration team and said, "The armor on these things seems to be impossible to pull off, and it seems that they are originally part of their bodies. They don't look like living creatures or undead, but rather like rare constructive beings. ”

As soon as the countess said this, several other members of the exploration team suddenly showed excitement. The story of the half-elf Witch King White, the Kingdom of Babel and the Puppet People is a legend that every explorer must have heard, and the puppets created by the Witch King White in the Third Age are precisely the most classic configuration life in the history of Ferdia, and these explorers who walked with Countess of Callea from the Ronster Plains all felt that their trip was not in vain for a while, and several of them even had a vague premonition that there was a dusty history waiting to be discovered in front of them. This heavy sense of mission makes their hearts irresistible.

While the Countess of Kalea and the explorers were excited about their new discovery, Finn held the iron sword in his hand and looked down at the remains of the puppet at his feet, then raised his gaze to gaze calmly into the darkness deep in the corridor, and then his head was still in his head to reflect on his past experiences, and soon he had a new perspective on the dwarven ruins that he had despised in his previous life.

In his opinion, since this is an underground ruin built by the Witch King White of the Third Age and the Dwarf King Vladin Hearthfire to bury the Obsidian Codex, the four puppet guards guarding the door of this ruin are probably genuine products from the hands of the Witch King.

These absolutely loyal puppets were instructed by the Witch King White to guard the relics hidden at the foot of Mount Elbuck forever, but with the erosion of time from year to year, their

Their bodies were probably more or less damaged before their group arrived, and as a result, some of the magic that supported their movements had already been lost from their bodies, making them much weaker than when they first guarded the gates of the ruins.

It's no wonder that their level had dropped to around level 10 at this time, and they were only nearly wiped out by Lilith's fireball.

"But then again, even for a level 10 creature, the magic power that Lilith just showed is ridiculously high by the standards of this era, right?" Soon, after Finn stared into the depths of the tunnel, he looked back at Lilith, who had put down the staff of the wolf soul and was standing quietly beside him, and felt a little shock from this black-haired warlock girl in his heart.

Based on his impressions in the Dagger Forest, Finn was sure that Lilith's strength had increased a lot compared to before. He knew that Lilith's spellcasting ability would gradually increase as her memories recovered, but Lilith showed no signs of further recovery of her memories along the way from the Dagger Jungle through Orlan to Scorpion Valley.

"Could it be that the Codex?" After a moment, he thought of a possibility, and then turned back to look back at the darkness deep in the corridor, thinking of the obsidian code buried deep beneath the ruin.

……

After briefly investigating the remains of the four puppets at the entrance of the ruins, Countess Kalea took out a mechanical part called [Construct Core] from the skeleton of the puppeteer's broken hole, put it in his backpack and stored it, and then urged the young people to continue to explore the depths of the corridor.

The corridors inside the ruins are wide, but unsafe, and as many freelance explorers and bards have deliberately exaggerated, they describe.

On the rest of the journey, Finn discussed with Terx and Countess Callea and adjusted the formation of the team, with Telx, Lilith, Camussa and him at the front of the team to open the way, the Countess and the explorers of the expedition walking in the middle to receive the protection of the front and rear of the team, and then Leah and Arya to stay behind the team to prevent potential crises from behind.

The corridors of the ruins are littered with traps, and some sinister mechanism will fire several poisoned arrows at the intruder the moment they accidentally step on a floor or touch a wall tile, or launch a huge rolling stone from a high place, or burst into a dense array of guns from a few rows of dark holes under the floor.

These traps designed by the ancients in various places in the corridor are simply full of malice to the gods of conspiracy for those who are careless tomb robbers. But fortunately, in the team of young people, the dark elf girl Camusa is a mature second-order thief professional, her skills in detecting and eliminating traps in the narrow terrain are much more superb than Arroyo's skills in the past in the depths of the Melore Pits, and all the traps that appeared along the way in the ruins and tunnels have been identified and successfully dismantled by her, and the reason why everyone has a smooth journey in the next trip must not be ignored.

The physical traps were discovered and eliminated by Camus, and the spell traps in the ruins were left to the two casters of Lilith and Telkes.

Apparently after the initial shock, Terx was always cautious and sometimes too timid when detecting spell traps, resulting in most of the spell traps the team found along the way that Lilith found and dismantled.

Although Lilith is not an orthodox spellcaster who graduated from the Human Wizarding Academy, she is more sensitive to magic than Telkes, which creates a phenomenon that makes Telx increasingly unhappy, that is, as the team explores deeper into the ruins, Lilith brings more and more trust to the people than Telks.

It was a great shame for the haughty Tarcks, who graduated from the Violet King Wizarding Academy, to be inferior to a wild girl when the team needed it - but at least for the sake of the team's apparent harmony, he had to swallow his anger lest his emotions explode and not end the game.

Of course, in addition to the traps of the two types of traps and spells, there is more than one corridor in the ruins, and the puppet guards guarding the corridors are naturally not limited to the four at the entrance of the ruins.

The pavement under his feet continued to stretch infinitely deeper into the ground, and while Finn dealt with the new puppet guards along the way, he could also feel that the closer those puppet guards were to the ground, the higher the level of the monsters displayed in the [Primary Insight] expertise information, and the better their constructs and bodies would be.

This phenomenon proves that Finn's speculation that Lilith will become stronger again in a short period of time may be correct. The young paladin speculated that the obsidian codex buried in the depths of the ruins would endlessly spread from the depths of the earth to the surface of the ruins, and that the radiation of magic itself would be like a magic tide, causing an energetic amplification and protection to everything related to magic in the vicinity.

According to this theory, the puppets in the depths of the ruins are more affected by the magic radiation that spreads to the surroundings of the obsidian codex, so the magic power in the bodies of these puppets is less lost, and the strength is stronger than the puppets close to the surface, and the [Structural Core] that Countess Kalea found from their remains afterwards is naturally more complete.

In the same way, whether it is Lilith as a [Warlock], Telx who is an orthodox [wizard] by profession, or even the [Demon Pet] owl Bol who has been standing on top of Lilith's head, while they are gradually approaching the core of this layer of magic radiation, their own spell casting ability has actually been improved to varying degrees.

Lilith's previous fireball spell at the entrance of the ruins can explain the fact that Telx and Pol should be the same, but Lord Lord, who claims to be the tax collector of Golantia, has been sullen since Lilith removed a few spell traps before him, so he doesn't seem to be aware of any changes that have happened to him.

However, even if the puppets scattered in the depths of the ruins are getting stronger and stronger, the section of the road that Finn led the team to explore in his previous life still covers the entire upper part of the ruins, so he knows in his heart how to deal with these puppet guards guarding the ruins in the corridor, whenever a new puppet guard blocks the way of the team, he can always quickly deal with them with the support of Lilith's spells, and then make the Countess of Kalea and the explorers of the exploration team stop and study the remains of the new puppets, Then move the team deeper into the ruins.

Until, after the team followed the corridor under their feet, passed through the turns of several underground rooms, and came to the depths of a new corridor.

"There's no road ahead." Leaning down, Camusha, who was in charge of detecting traps, slowly sneaked at the front of the team, stretched out her hand and gently touched a stone wall blocking her, and carefully looked around with the dark vision innate to the dark elf race, then spread her hands and turned back to report to the people behind her.
