Section D, Chapter 6: Double Doors (Seresia)
"Okay, knight! Ceresya raised her eyebrows in surprise: "How did you find out that there are double doors here?"
"It just so happened. Anusen let out a long sigh of relief: "Because I got that ring, I suddenly thought of this possibility...... But I didn't expect a tunnel here. ”
"So what are you waiting for? The mad dog squatted down and looked inside, squinting his eyes: "Yo, it's so dark! I went down inside without lighting tools, and I couldn't see anything clearly." ”
"It's okay, I can release the illumination. The knight with his arms slanted closed his eyes and clenched his amulet. In a few moments, the shield was enveloped in a soft white light, illuminating the entrance to the dark passage.
"Wait a minute...... Didn't you say that Nether Iron is immune to spells?" Mad Dog frowned, "If you want to say that the runes it originally engraved will work, I will admit it - how do you explain it now?"
"This ...... I don't know. The knight's expression was full of shock: "I didn't want to release it on the shield, it was it that guided the spell to enchant it itself." ”
"A shield with its own consciousness, what if I don't listen to you when I fight?" Seresa glared at the Nether Iron Black Shield with disdain, "It seems that this shield will not devour the spells released by the wielder...... Knight, do you still have any other spells? ”
"Good. The knight nodded, regained his grip on the amulet, and closed his eyes.
After a few seconds, the surface of the shield was covered in a gently burning white flame. Looking at the contrast between the flames and the color of the shield itself, Ceresya curiously reached out and tried to touch the holy flame.
It was very different from what he had imagined, and the Holy Flame had no temperature at all. Withdrawn his hand in disappointment, Mad Dog pouted: "Cut, I thought Sheng Yan would be warmer to the touch." ”
"There are many forms of Holy Flame, and the one I released this time is low-temperature. The knight let go of the amulet, and the white flame was extinguished.
"You have to hold that amulet if you want to cast a spell?" Selesa squinted at the knight, "I've been careful many times, it's always like this. ”
"Holding the amulet and casting spells is just a habit of mine. Anusen shook his head, "Since after all, it is only the power of the angels, so holding the talisman as a carrier of faith can help to concentrate the spirit. ”
"It's not a good habit, you'd better get it. Ceresa turned and looked at the knight's left shoulder, "When you're going to face to face with an enemy, there's no time for you to hold the amulet before casting spells. ”
"I don't need to say that. Anusen crossed the glowing shield slightly, and led the way to the tunnel, "Lusa, follow me. ”
Aya nodded, and followed the knight into the tunnel. Looking around casually, Mad Dog followed the two into the ground with his hands in his pockets.
The staircase leading to the underground is also made of ice, and there are more than a dozen steps. With the white light emitted from the shield plate, Seresa carefully observed the passage as she walked: it was so narrow that it could only be passed by an adult-human male. The building materials of the four walls are all polished ice, and they all exude a cold air.
After a few steps, the three of them came to the end of the hallway. Entering the only circular room connected to it, a metal round platform on the central floor revealed the pupils reflected into the crowd in the light of white light.
"That's it. Anusen sighed with emotion: "Sure enough, there is a teleportation circle...... It just took so much effort to find it. Who would have thought it was hiding underground?"
"Judging by the location of the underpass, it should be the center of the hall above our heads. Mad Dog coughed dryly: "In other words, the mana coverage area of this magic circle can pass through such a thick frozen layer...... The spellcaster really has two hits, and he wants to meet him more and more. ”
"Are you serious?" the knight smiled and looked at the mad dog, "What, after defeating the dragon knight, you were fluttering?"
"Of course not, I'd like to live two more years. Mad Dog immediately withdrew his preface: "Just kidding, you're really uninteresting, knight...... Also, this mage and the dragon knight are not the same thing. I don't bother to provoke enemies who have no chance of winning. ”
"In the face of a strong enemy, you always want to escape, and you have to change this problem. The knight spun around and nearly bumped into Aya, who was close behind.
"In the face of a strong enemy, you always want to die, and you have to change this problem. Mad Dog immediately gave a sarcastic retort: "I said, when I was just fighting with the dragon knight, I ran away?"
"Don't cheat. In that situation just now, you don't have a place to run?" Anusen reluctantly put down his shield, no longer tense up to maintain the rigid standard standing posture: "Mad Dog, take the long sword and slam the obelisk." ”
"What if it breaks? We're just a sword. The mad dog snorted and kicked at the metal object.
The disc emits a rich black light, signaling that it has been activated.
"Speaking of which, it's really the same as Lucina's story. Mad Dog snorted, "The two teleportation circles look exactly the same. ”
"It's okay to say here......" The knight lowered his head and looked at the array: "The metal round platform when we came, could it be that the mage set it up with his own strength?"
"Then could it be that he has found a construction team?" the mad dog glanced at him lazily and lifted his feet.
However, the foot hung in the air, but it was not kicked. Instinctively feeling that something was wrong, Mad Dog slowly lowered his legs: "I just thought of a question that wasn't quite right...... If someone manipulates the circle here, will he be teleported away?"
"You mean, this circle can't be used in underground passages?"
"Because you want to...... Mad Dog raised his eyebrows, "The shape of the hall is similar to that of a barrier, and it also has an aerial field. But the disc in the woods wasn't in the ground. In order to prevent the space from being misaligned when teleporting, it is certain that the people in the teleportation channel will not be teleported. ”
"Makes sense. The knight frowned: "But if this is the case, wouldn't it be necessary to leave a man behind......?"
"Knight, what you say is not up to the mark. Who said you have to leave someone behind? Keep your eyes open and take a good look at how Lao Tzu solved the problem. Mad Dog coughed dryly, "Lusa, do you still have a steam pipe?" ”
Taking the thin steel pipe handed by Aya, Mad Dog pinched it vigorously to confirm the strength: "This thing is really useful...... When I get back to Eternal Winter, I'll have to get some with me. Oh yes, knight, give me the shield to illuminate. ”
"What are you going to do?" handing the shield to Mad Dog, the knight drooped his shoulders and asked puzzledly, "Do you want to use the explosion of the steam pipe and magic energy blocks to trigger the obelisk like you did when you killed the ice dragon?"
"That won't give me enough time to escape. Glancing at the knight, Ceresya added, "The two who can't run fast better go up early." Because I'll have to run away later to make it teleport. ”
The knight still hesitated, as if he wanted to say something. It wasn't until Lusa tugged at the corner of his coat that he turned away.
