The stone-wrapped snowball threw a graceful arc in the snowy mid-air, and then just as it was about to pass through the arch, it suddenly seemed to hit an invisible transparent wall and stopped, and then it was cut in half by a cold light that brushed straight down from the top of the arch.

Leah witnessed this phenomenon that Telks had shown him with a small snowball, and immediately stood there and blinked, then swallowed his throat, glad that he had just been held down by Finn, and had not entered the entrance of the ruins in the first place.

Otherwise, his current fate would not be the same as the small snowball that Terkes threw towards the entrance of the ruins, and the whole person would be split in two on the spot by the light knife that brushed down from the top of the arch arc.

"Lord Tarks, what is this?" Countess Kalea cautiously looked at the bronze arch that was the entrance to the ruins, feeling that it looked like a set of designed traps, and asked Talkes.

"There's no doubt that it's a combined set of magic traps." After all, Tarks graduated from the Violet King Wizarding Academy, and it was more than enough to discern this little trick, "But don't worry, Sir Kaleya. This set of traps contains only two insignificant two-ring sorcery, [Air Wall] and [Light Blade], please give me a little time, and I will take action to disarm them. ”

After that, the young blonde lord looked back at the people who were traveling with him, and thought in his heart that there were only himself and Lilith in the large group of people here, and he was quite proud, thinking that some of the tasks in the team could only be successfully completed by himself, and he could be said to be an indispensable core part of the entire exploration plan.

Of course, as an academic wizard who graduated from a prestigious college, Telx also knew that [dismantling magic] was not a difficult thing to learn - but looking at the girl named Lilith who gave her a series of heavy tasks to remove the magic trap, could she be trusted?

He thought to himself.

So, having volunteered to ask Countess Calea, Terkes took his staff a few steps to the bronze arch that served as the entrance to the ruins, first looked up and examined the entire arch carefully, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then carefully extended his free right hand to the pillar to the left of the arch.

He felt the spell sigils of the two spells carved into the doorpost.

However, just as he was about to disarm the spell from the doorpost, Finn stood in the doorway and examined his back, quickly recalling the details of his original exploration of this ruin, and suddenly drew a line of alarm in his heart, and immediately shouted at Telkes: "Please wait a minute! ”

"What's wrong, paladin?" Hearing someone disturbing him, Telkes was annoyed, and suddenly looked back at Finn with a little displeasure, "I've found the mark of two magic traps on this pillar, and I'm about to disarm them now, please don't distract me while I'm focusing, okay?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he ignored Finn's reminder, turned his head back and put his hand in front of the pillar, and quickly whispered a spell in his mouth, and immediately two crisp "pop" sounds sounded on the doorpost in front of him, as if something had been destroyed from it.

"It's easy." Confirming that the two spell marks he had detected had indeed been successfully destroyed by himself, Telx smirked and took a step back from the bronze arch with a flick of his wrist.

At this moment, in the pitch-black corridor behind the arch, several "whooshing" sounds like arrows breaking through the air suddenly came from the depths of the corridor.

Telkes' eyes widened, and then he suddenly saw three large arrows the thickness of his forearms flying straight towards him from the tunnel.

The young blonde lord was so frightened that he forgot to dodge, but fortunately his brother Leah noticed the anomaly and rushed up from behind him in time to knock him to the ground, and the three thicker arrows flew over his and Leah's heads, and finally hit a wall of ice where Lilith swung the staff of the wolf soul and stopped.

[Ice Wall] is the fourth ring of the sorcery level like [Fire Wall], and the difference between [Fire Wall] and [Fire Wall] is that it does not directly produce magic damage, but it has real wall health, and will always have a [freeze] effect on objects that touch the wall.

After the three thick arrows were frozen on the ice wall, Finn's party and the exploration team of Countess Callea came out from both sides of the wall, and then saw Leah helping the fallen Terx to get up from the snow, and Telx looked angry, and as soon as he got up, he shouted "I stand firm" and pushed Leah away from him, and then turned his head sharply to stare at Finn, who came out of the ice wall, and asked through gritted teeth: "Did you mean it just now?" Do you know that there are other traps in this, but you deliberately want to see me make a fool of myself in front of everyone? ”

Finn glanced at him, and thought to himself that the Lord who claimed to be the tax collector of Gorantia was really as Leah had said when he whispered before the party set off, sometimes not only did he die to save face, but he also threw the blame everywhere at the slightest disagreement, and in short, it seemed that he himself had no responsibility in the end.

However, he didn't want to worry about this with Terkes at this time, so he just took the iron longsword he had newly bought from Orlan in his hand, and then walked past him directly ignoring the black cauldron that Telx threw at him, and came to the entrance of the corridor behind the bronze arch and raised his left arm, lifting the bracelet of the Holy Emblem wrapped around his left wrist and aiming it at the depths of the corridor.

He turned his back to the people behind him, his lips skillfully closed a few times according to the prayer of the divine art, and a [Holy Archery] was immediately launched from his holy emblem bracelet towards the corridor, and two seconds later, a sound message was transmitted from the depths of the pitch black with a "snap".

"What's in there?" Pricking up her ears to hear the sound coming from the corridor, Countess Kalea stepped forward from the back of the group, clenched her fists and asked Finn a little nervously.

Instead of answering Countess Kalea right away, Fein took a few steps out of front of the door with his sword in hand, his eyes fixed on the movement in the depths of the tunnel, and it wasn't long before he finally saw his intended enemies from there—four unidentified humanoids slowly revealing the outline of a human in the darkness as the distance approached, glowing with a faint blue glow from their eye sockets.
