"Bachelor, are you sure you want to do this?" said Eddes with some hesitation, "In my opinion, it's better not to do it, right? That altar makes me feel too evil......

"I'll have to go down and have a look before I decide whether or not to perform the ritual?" The expectant Nadia Maester looked at Lord Mace, "My lord, according to Captain Edus, it's likely that it's the Mana Altar I've been looking for a long time - it's rumored to be hidden in the underground vault of Snowcastle. ”

"Anyway, it's weird. Lord Mace was still shocked by Edus's report: "I am surprised enough that the secret passage under the statue of the dragon god is enough to surprise me that there is such a secret room in the living room - and it is designed to only be opened from the inside. ”

"Your Lord, please allow me to perform the ceremony. Maester Nadia stiffened up rather excitedly, "If that's right, it can help the Children of Ice regain their magical abilities." I'm just giving it a little try - just a simple activation spell. ”

"The mana net that was frozen with the dragon god's eternal sleep......" Lord Mace pondered for a moment, "There shouldn't be any risk...... In that case, you might be able to give it a try. ”

"Bachelor, will you think about it again?" Seeing that her husband had agreed, Lady Elena hurriedly dissuaded Bachelor: "The Corruptor deliberately let us discover this altar, and there is absolutely no good intention. ”

Eders agreed: "The altar must have been passive in some way - like if it is activated, it will be corrupted or something. ”

"It's not going to be that outrageous. Unable to hold back, Nadia stammered and said, "Let's go activate the altar now—I've been waiting for this moment for years."

Never before had a bachelor so energetic, Eddes was shocked: "Wait a moment, Bachelor. I still think—"

"Don't stop me, Captain Edus. Master Nadia frowned, and said with a little anger: "If you are really worried about my comfort, send someone to come with me." ”

“...... Got it. I wasn't going to let you go on your own. That's too dangerous. Sighing, Eders had to give up persuasion: "I will accompany you." Also, Lord Mace—can you get Elton with you?"

"Go ahead, Elton. Mace turned to look at his escort and gave the order.

Elton nodded, and approached Edus.

"That'...... Let's go now. The bachelor rubbed his hands together and couldn't wait to get out of the room.

Following the eager Bachelor, Eddes and Elton entered the chamber one after the other. The Bachelor stood in front of the straight ladder and bent down to look down: he frowned, "Oops, such a long ladder...... There seems to be a faint light at the bottom. ”

"It's that blue ice flame. Straightening his helmet, Eders shook his right index finger: "The temperature of that thing is frighteningly low." Just a little bit of finger sticking in it, it was frostbitten and turned purple. ”

"Ice Flame...... I've seen a few ice dragons breath at very low temperatures—something that seems to be similar to the ice flame effect. Maester Nadia muttered to himself and bent down, as if in a hurry to climb down the ladder.

"Wait, Bachelor. Eders hurriedly stopped the bachelor's thin body: "There may be corruptors ambushing down there, so I'll go down first." When the time comes, I'll climb faster, and I'll call you when I'm sure there's no danger. ”

"That's right...... I'm sorry for you. Master Nadia nodded and stepped back.

"I'll go down at the end. Elton tapped Edders on the shoulder.

"It's a long ladder, Bachelor. Eddes looked at Lady Nadia's thin body, and couldn't help but feel worried again, "You have to be careful. ”

"No problem, no problem. The Bachelor looked impatient: "Captain Edus, let's go?"

Bounting down in front of the straight ladder, Eders cautiously poked out his left foot. After stepping on the straight ladder, he sped up and climbed down.

After climbing to the bottom, Eders jumped down the ladder, looked at the blue-lit hallway, and raised his head and shouted, "There's no one in ambush down there!"

Elton shouted in response. Immediately, the sound of metal striking on the straight ladder was heard slowly and rhythmically.

Although it doesn't take too much physical effort for the bachelor to climb very slowly, is this really okay...... Eddes sweated: if he fell from such a high ladder, the bachelor would definitely die.

It wasn't until the bachelor slowly descended to the bottom of the straight ladder that Eders was relieved and hurriedly approached to help.

After a while, Elton also descended to the ground. Rejecting Edus's offer to rest for a while, the Bachelor hurried towards the small room. The speed of the march stunned Edus: it was not at all like the slow bachelor he remembered.

Standing at the door of the room, the bachelor frowned, "Is this the place...... It's too dark to see inside at all. ”

"This torch can be taken down, Bachelor. Eddes hastily removed a torch hanging from the wall and handed it to the Bachelor.

"Oh, what a wonderful flame...... the Bachelor's attention was immediately drawn to the torch in his hand, "I can't feel the heat emitted from it at all." Well, not bad...... But how do you find a way to get some of this torch from here? It's a shame not to study it properly. ”

"I'll figure this out, Bachelor. Eders wasted no time in proposing.

"Then I'm sorry for you, Captain Eders. The bachelor smiled and walked into the room.

Standing in front of the altar, Bachelor Nadia looked extremely excited. Caressing the wide altar with a black theme and blue runes carved on it, the Bachelor continued to exclaim in admiration.

"It's something very old...... Undoubtedly, it is the altar recorded in the literature that can unleash the magical abilities of the Children of Ice. The bachelor kept nodding his head, and said in a preface, "I can understand some of these runes, but not much...... Now I just want to know who put it in this place. ”

"Since it's such an important thing, let's find out that this Corruptor is brain-pumping?" Elton voiced Edus's doubts, "Once we have a mage, the Corruptor's advantage is bound to shrink. They couldn't possibly not think about it. ”

"I also felt so wrong. Eders immediately offered his support: "Bachelor, since you've seen it, why don't you go now? ”

"How many times do you have to say it before you understand?" the Bachelor's stubbornness came up, "I'm about to cast a spell to activate the altar, and people who don't know how to use magic will affect the ritual here—wait for me outside the room, a little further away from this room." ”

Now that the maester had already said this, Edus, in desperation, had no choice but to walk out of the room with Elton and stand about five paces away from the room.

A moment later, the room emitted a burst of white light mixed with multiple flickering runes. To Eddes' surprise: it seemed that the Maester had actually activated the altar.

However, a moment later, the light instantly turned black and purple. And then there was the screams of the bachelor.
