Chapter 31: Entering the Mausoleum
The female mage Ada didn't take direct action, she lowered her voice and asked, "But aren't you afraid that they deliberately let us go to the enchantment and show them the way?"
"That can't be helped, if they really have something to do with the Spirit Eye Tower, who knows how many secrets they know. Even if we don't lead the way, we won't be able to find it? Marco put his mouth into Ada's ear and said, "You know...... The guys weren't at ease either, and they had asked about the control center several times. There's nothing more important these days than defending an enchantment. This is the Marquis's most important bargaining chip, and without this, what do we have in our hands? ”
"I see. But...... I've heard that there is more than one master in the Tower of China, and they really want to destroy ......," Ida hesitated.
"That's not our business. We're going to help the Marquis do this, but we don't want to put our lives on the line. Got it?"
"Hmm. ”
Marcoy cupped his chin and thought for a moment, and said to Pascoët, "Go to the gate of the city and let them not let anyone in." So that Avali could stop. ”
"My lord, that's what the Marquis meant. Pascoe said.
Marco snorted coldly, and a sharp momentum like a blade shook Pascoë and staggered, and he retreated directly to the wall.
"It's not your turn to talk nonsense here, I will naturally go to the Marquis, now you go and handle this matter first, if you can't do it, I don't need the Marquis to speak, I will want your head." From now on, lock down the city!" Marco walked out of the house and got on his horse and headed towards the lord's mansion, and Ida didn't dare to delay, leading the other three people in the other direction, unbeknownst to them, Tasia, Elaine, and Xiaobai were flying in the air following them.
In the soul dialogue, Tasia said, "Follow, they seem to have passed in the clearing in front of them." ”
"What is that? It feels strange. Elaine asked.
"I don't know, I've never been to this city. "That's the cemetery, and they've put the entrance deep into the ground in the largest mausoleum. ”
"It looks like it's a mausoleum of a big man, and there's a statue on it, and it looks like it's been many years old. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the rebuilder of the city, Saldania, Duke of Armando of the Black Dragon Empire. The city was destroyed once during the Battle for the Founding of the Black Dragon Empire. The current walls were built at that time. The mausoleum and some of the main buildings in the city are also. ”
"You humans really have a strange fetish, I didn't expect him to hide the passage of the city defense center in his tomb. ”
"No, I don't think it must have been like this at first, this passage must have been rearranged by the later city lord to cover the way through the control center. ”
"That's strange enough, we elves wouldn't bother our deceased compatriots like this. Elaina said.
"Isn't there anything strange about elves? Humans didn't put themselves in the trees, mad queens. Tasia retorted.
"Your queen is almost insane. Elaina said.
Tasia was about to say something, but she heard a sharp, crisp dragon groan ringing in her ears, and Elaine clearly heard it as well.
"Xiaobai?" asked Tasia.
A short answer came from the soul, and it was really Xiaobai who cut directly into their conversation. It screamed again, and it was very tactful, as if someone had said something long, but Tasia and Elaine both understood the meaning of it: the energy leaking from this house is strong, and we have found the right place.
"Is this the language of dragons? Tasia said.
"This is not the language of dragons, the language of dragons in general, the language of the pet dragons of the gods of nature. That's just another variant of the lingua franca similar to Elvish. But what Xiaobai said was something completely different. I don't know how to describe it, it's like a superimposed magic script, and it works directly on the spirit. Elaine explained with great difficulty.
"Don't talk about it yet, they're going to open the mausoleum. Tasia said.
Ida and the others had dismounted, and they came to the north of the mausoleum, where Ida took out a small stone and pressed it on a groove in the back wall of the mausoleum, and as a magic circle was lit, a door was quietly opened on the back wall. A downward staircase is revealed.
Ida and the others walked in one by one. Tasia and Elaine hurriedly landed on the ground, but when they saw that the door was about to close, Xiaobai rushed over and stuck to one of the doors, the magic lines on this door were obviously darkened, and the speed of closing was much slower, and when the other door was completely closed to the middle line, this door was still half closed. Tasia and Elaine seized the opportunity and hurriedly flashed in.
Xiaobai then flew away from the stone gate, and with the last gap, followed them into the mausoleum.
When they entered, they realized that the passage was actually separated from the mausoleum itself, and it did not lead in the direction of the mausoleum, but turned down and went deep underground.
After about a hundred stairs down, they came to the bottom of the passage, which was a wider entrance to the dungeon, where there was an entrance hall, and at the back of the hall, there was a long passage leading to an unknown place.
Here, Ada and the others encountered a dozen or so guards blocking the doorway. These guards are obviously very elite masters.
"Lord Ada, haven't you always been by the Marquis's side, why did you come here? Said the man who looked like the leader of the guards. This person looks extraordinary, and he gives people a sense of oppression, which is no worse than the previous Marco.
"Lord Helomel, there is a very troublesome situation, there are already Chinese masters who have infiltrated the city, and they have left a letter to Lord Marquis, threatening that if the Marquis does not do what they say, he may raid this place. "Marko told me to let me know, and he'll send more masters." ”
The guards present were visibly nervous. The leader, Helommel, instructed the guards around him, "Activate the defensive circle at once." ”
He said to Ada, "Except for me and Marisa. There are also two high-level here, and even if the general enemy comes over, with the advantage of the defensive formation, we can resist. But then the Marquis will have fewer people around him, and I fear it will be a conspiracy. ”
"Marco and Primo will always be on his side, and besides that, there are those of them. ”
When Tasia heard this, she couldn't help but say: "That Pascoe really didn't have a good heart, and he actually underreported so many masters. ”
Elaine said: "In this way, we can't do it directly, it seems that the best way is to look at Xiaobai's ability." ”
