Chapter 25: Abandoned Excavation Sites
The simple old man urgently notified the other two elders who were still older about the appearance of a mysterious powerhouse in the City of the Dead.
As a result, one order after another was given, and the city of the dead seemed to be blown up. An unprecedented search and fortification was quickly launched. Out of nowhere, teams of elite Guardians of Darkness poured out, causing panic in the City of the Dead.
On the other side, Layton, the initiator, is still working on the issue of undead minions. Through the soul mist ball in his body, he could only vaguely perceive the skeleton team, but it was distorted, and he was confused about the spatial orientation, and he could not clearly identify the location of the skeleton team.
Leighton went with Hima and Wampa to the city gate to join the others.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Night Soul Master instructed everyone, "Next, our destination is an abandoned excavation site outside the city, which is the outskirts of the City of the Dead, and there have been no undead in a long time. Although there is not much danger under normal circumstances, you still need to be vigilant. If there are no problems, let's get ready and go!"
At this time, a group of people came from a distance, although there were only about ten people, but each of them was wearing gorgeous magic robes and holding a magic staff inlaid with black crystals. The leader was a middle-aged man, who walked over casually, glanced at the Night Soul Master and his party with disdain, and sneered, "Ouch, this is not our famous civilian representative, the Night Soul Master. Look at you like this, shouldn't you take your civilian students to complete those lowest-level mining tasks?"
Everyone present could hear the sour smell in the middle-aged man's words.
Hearing this, the Night Soul Master calmly responded, "Ralph Quake, your mouth is really as stinky as ever. ”
The student next to him whispered, "This Ralph is the class tutor of the fifth class of the Dark Summoning Department, and the sworn enemy of our Night Soul Mentor. In the Dark Summoning Department, classes 1 to 6 are all noble classes, and most of the students in them are noble children, with various equipment and secret techniques provided by the family behind them. On the whole, it is superior to us, and its natural strength is relatively strong. Our seventh class is the only civilian class among the seven classes of the summoning department, and its strength is weak overall, and even a piece of ordinary magic equipment is not something that civilians can afford. Therefore, there is no money to buy equipment, so you can only complete some low-level college tasks, and you are often counted and bullied by other classes. ”
Another student added, "However, everyone who enters the Spirit Wing Magic Academy is a person of outstanding talent, especially the children of civilians, who are killed from thousands of troops, and are basically the best of their age. Although they are trapped in the early stage without those magical equipment and high-level secret arts, they are often able to soar to the sky with a large amount of accumulation in the later stage and achieve high achievements. ”
When Layton heard these voices, he couldn't help but look up at the fifth class opposite.
Wanba walked up to him, shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's just a pity that in recent years, many commoner students have been confused by the various conditions promised by the children of the nobility, and chose to become vassals of the children of the nobility, lost their freedom, and followed the nobles forever." Only a genius like the Night Soul Mentor can let go of the huge temptation and voluntarily come to the civilian class to help the civilian students, which is what I admire the most. ”
Ji Ma interjected at this time and said, "It is said that the Night Soul Master is an orphan who grew up in the academy since he was a child, and he has not been looked down upon by those people. ”
Layton couldn't help but look at the Night Soul Master with thoughtful eyes.
In the crowd opposite, Manklin stood out in the ranks, casting a gaze at Layton, but that gaze was filled with deep disdain and disdain.
Layton ignored him and treated him like air.
It's just that what Layton and his party didn't pay attention to was that when they crossed the other party, Manklin vaguely handed over a thing to the two people in his team, and kept signaling with his eyes.
Ignoring the other party's words, the Night Soul Mentor continued to lead the students out of the city gate one after another, through a distorted magical light curtain, and came to the outside of the city gate.
With his feet on the land of the undead realm, Layton once again felt the silence and desolation of the undead realm.
The Night Soul Mentor began to distribute a special digging tool to everyone, instructing, "This set of digging tools is a task tool issued by the students, specially used to mine the Stygian Crystal, remember to return it when you are done." The time of this mission is set for one day, and when the time comes, we will meet here on time, and we will start without any problems!"
Layton looked back at the magic shield in front of him slowly twisting, and the city of the dead disappeared before his eyes, and his soul could not perceive it, as if it had never appeared.
In his mind, the White Bone Emperor sighed: "No wonder this monarch has never found this city of the dead in the undead realm for countless years. Wonderful, really wonderful. First use the Space Stone to isolate it, and then use the Time and Space Magic Array to twist the void and disturb the soul perception. In this world full of death, it is possible to create such a hidden habitat with human power. If you hadn't experienced it beforehand, I'm afraid you would never have known that there was a city of the dead here. It can be described as a creation that conquers the heavens and the earth, and it is indeed a big deal! Admire and admire, the Terran magician really has a powerful role. ”
After the Night Soul Master led the group through a large mountain, he finally came to the abandoned excavation site.
"Well, this is the abandoned excavation site, and it is also the place where the academy's freshmen are tested. The task is clear to everyone, who can dig up the most Stygian Crystals in one day, who will be the leader of the seventh class of the Dark Summoning Department, and get the silver-level equipment - the Conqueror's Magic Staff. ”
In front of him was a huge sinkhole excavation site, but from the traces of countless dirt pits, it could be known that this place had been desolate for a long time. The yin wind whistled by, and it let out a roar like a devil cry, as if there were countless ghosts shuttling through it. Not far away, there were ten huge mines, and the dark holes gushed out gusts of wind, as if a giant beast in the darkness had opened its mouth and waited quietly for its prey.
Wanba frowned, stepped aside, casually raised his foot and kicked a stone away, and couldn't help but doubt: "The appearance of potholes on the ground, I'm afraid it has already been dug three feet into the ground, and there are good things that have been dug up a long time ago, will they remain until now?"
Layton felt that it was okay, and comforted: "If you come here, you will be safe, try it, maybe you will really dig it!"
Not far away, there were ten huge mines, and the dark holes blew gusts of wind from the dark openings, like giant beasts in the darkness opening their mouths wide and waiting for their prey.
After the Night Soul Mentor explained the mission, he didn't know where to go, leaving a bunch of students in place, which was probably the most irresponsible mentor. Wanba's bad guess must be that he doesn't know where to hide and be lazy.
A group of students, you look at me, I look at you, I can't help but get excited, not to mention the position of the class leader, just that silver-level conqueror magic wand makes everyone red.
One by one, they were ready to move, and they each rushed to the cave that had been selected a long time ago.
The others had already rushed to the chosen entrance to the cave with their digging tools, leaving only the three Laytons and two other students on the outside of the cave. The two men seemed to have been waiting for something, and Layton didn't care.
Wamba looked at Hessesen's hole and got goosebumps. His head shook vigorously like a rattle, and he said reluctantly: "Forget it, I don't want to be a squad leader anyway, or I'll wait for you here!"
Jima looked like she was about to hit him, and threatened on the side: "Dead fatty, do you dare not go?"
As soon as Wanba turned his head, the dead pig said as if he was not afraid of boiling water: "Don't think that I can't beat you, so I'm afraid of you." ”
Layton thought that he would be stiff twice, but after saying this, he saw a starry flame in Jima's hand, and immediately changed his face, and immediately smiled and said: "Big deal, I'll go with you, put it away, don't play with fire in the girl's house." ”
Only then did Ji Ma accept the starry flame in his palm, and said with a smile: "You still know each other." ”
"To find Sombra you have to dig deep into the cave, follow me. Jima said. "There are ten caves here, and we'll pick one at random. ”
Layton just lifted his feet, ready to follow.
At this time, the White Bone Emperor in his mind said: "Walking to the buried cave on the far right, Benjun vaguely senses that something is there. ”
Layton looked closely, only to find that there was another cave that had been buried due to collapse next to the ten large caves, and it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time.
"Are you sure? The cave looks like it's abandoned. Layton asked.
"I believe in Benjun, although there is a seal of the Immortal Monument and the perception is not clear, there is definitely something in it. The White Bone Emperor affirmed.
Layton pointed to the deserted cave on the far right and said to Hima, "Why don't you choose this cave?" ”
Hima looked at him and said, "Are you sure? It's an abandoned mine. ”
Layton said earnestly to the two, "Trust me, I have a gut feeling that there's something in there. ”
"Well, believe you once, I'm relying on Meng anyway. Hima responded.
There were two people standing not far away, and one of them sneered: "I'm afraid this kid is not a fool! That cave has been abandoned for a long time, and a normal person would not choose there." ”
The other said, "Whatever, when they get in, we'll do what Master Manklin has told us to do." ”
