Chapter Ninety-Four: Turning the Road

"Katrina!" Tarrant ran into the corner.

Half a head popped out of the wall over there, and the mage glared at him, "What are you yelling about!"

"You ......" Tarrant ran to the right corner, "what's going on!" he looked at the wall in a daze, the torch illuminated two walls, the first starting from the left wall perpendicular to the aisle, leaving a gap about a meter from the right wall, and the second wall extending diagonally from the right wall, sandwiching into a passage with the front wall.

"Two walls?" Behind her, Kitty noticed the shadow cast by the first wall on the second wall in the light of the fire.

"It's incredible," Tarrant took a few steps back, and after the light source in his hand was far away, the two walls in front of him and behind them blended together visually.

"It can indeed be called art," Rex said as he walked down the aisle, "without the help of magical energy at all, only by visual means to create 'mechanisms', if the lighting torches in this aisle were still there, its shadow would be hidden, it would be difficult to detect it, and magic would not be effective against it." ”

"Well, the maker of this temple is quite clever", Tarrant followed, "The wisdom of ancient civilizations may be more effective than the current magic research, I don't know what will be hidden inside", he stepped into the aisle.

This passage was very short, only more than two meters, and after a few steps, the team came to a circular room, a standard conference room, in the middle of which was a nine-cornered teardrop-shaped conference table, with a thick corrugated flower carving on the legs, very similar to the decoration on the temple door, and a few broken stone chairs scattered around.

"Look here", the mage who walked at the front stopped at the main seat of the conference table.

The main seat surrounded by intricate wavy patterns was placed in the center, and a war halberd that had been dusted into white was stabbed obliquely on the back of the main seat, and the aura of betrayal, Tarrant crouched down, and there were no blood marks on the ground, there were a few tiny pieces of rags, maybe a mage was stabbed to death here, "The battle that took place in the temple may have been a conflict between the attendants, and the mage on the main seat was stabbed to death before he could resist." ”

"Where did the corpses go?" said Katrina, stroking the halberd.

"Become the undead attendant of the temple", Tarrant grabbed the halberd and pulled it out hard, the halberd did not move at all, it was almost one with the stone chair, Tarrant exerted his hands and shook it up and down, some stone chips fell off the back of the chair, "a very heavy weapon", he leaned back and pulled it out hard, inertia made him rush backwards two steps, the mold ash on the halberd spilled, and a smell of moldy Yan zhòng filled the room.

Tarrant raised the halberd, its tip still retained a cold front, glowing like ice against the yellow firelight, he tried to wield the halberd with one hand, but found that the weight of this weapon far exceeded the weight of the whole body armor, "This halberd...... It's not like you can control it with one hand. ”

The mage leaned over to him, "I said earlier that this temple was probably built by the Giants. ”

"No, depending on the height of the room, this room can only allow human-height creatures to enter and exit," Tarrant said with a smile, "I agree with Kitty that this place was supposed to have been built by elves, in their prime. ”

"Look for clues," Rex leaned back against a stone chair, "there's been a fight, maybe you'll find something." ”

The four of them looked around the conference table separately, and found no traps or hidden compartments, no writing, and like the rest of the temple, there was nothing but traces of being trampled.

The mage crossed his chest and sighed, "Nothing." ”

"No, at least this gives us an idea of how the Grand Deacon, the Grand Deacon, died," Tarrant quipped, setting the halberd aside.

"That was 10,000 years ago, and it won't help us at all, unless you want to write a biography of him, The Sad End of a Chief Deacon," the mage sneered disdainfully, "Go back to the first aisle and see what about it?"

Now that the mage can unleash the detection technique, maybe he can crack the trap over there, Tarrant agreed, "Good idea, the more important the place to protect, the more valuable it will be, follow me", he walked out of the conference room first.

The four of them returned the same way, and when they passed the room where they were resting, the scorched crumbs on the ground did not move, and it was a good sign that there were no creatures near the team, and Tarrant began to believe that there was no living threat in this temple.

He continued to move forward, and there was a "sizzling" sound in his ears, slight, as thin as a gossamer, it was the hallucination, Tarrant chuckled lightly, calmed himself down, there were no spirit suckers here, nothing, after his thoughts calmed down, the voice disappeared immediately, and he turned back to warn his teammates: "There are hallucinations here, pay attention to the discrimination, don't be affected." ”

Kitty nodded, "I didn't see anything." ”

"I didn't see anything," Rex turned to look at the mage beside him.

Katrina's face tensed, her hands clenched into fists, and it seemed that she was affected again, and Tarrant stopped, and the torch reached out to the mage, shouting, "Katrina!"

The mage was agitated, his eyes closed, "What?"

"What do you see?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... Let's get out of this place," the mage quickened, walking past Kitty to Tarrant's side.

"Everyone wants to get out of here quickly", Tarrant shook the mage's hand, and found that her palms were hot and sweaty, "stay calm, you will scare yourself to death if you lose your mind." ”

"En", the mage bowed his head and agreed.

The team turned back to the temple hall and entered the first hallway, where they quickly found the skeletons of the rangers scattered on the ground, and beyond that was the hallway full of death traps, and Tarrant stopped aside, "Katrina, give it a try." ”

The mage understood, concentrated on the spell, and the energy began to gather.

Tarrant gripped his katana and stared at the ground, the Shadow Eater who had slipped through the net hadn't appeared, and it probably wouldn't reappear, at least not now.

The energy was pushed out, surging forward along the wall, and Katrina took a step back, "Unthinkable!"

"What's wrong?" Seeing the mage's embarrassed expression, Tarrant had a premonition that things were taking a new and complicated turn, "Can't you detect it?"

"On the contrary, I detected a ...... here. Nearly ten energy sources. ”

"Ten?" Rex squatted down, looked at the aisle in front of him and said coldly, "There are ten magic traps alone in such a short distance, counting the mechanical traps...... It seems that the intruder will have to pay the price of blood for every step he takes. ”

"The room at the end of the aisle will give us a good reward," Tarrant leaned against the wall, "Guys, think of a way." ”

"I say," Kitty whispered, "Will there be an enchantment that affects detection?"

The mage leaned back beside Tarrant, "I'm not sure about that, but the Bone Golem has already confirmed three of them, and I wouldn't be too surprised if there were ten or twenty more." ”

"With this density of arrangement, I guess there are mechanisms for each floor," Tarrant scratched his hair, "maybe the builders didn't intend to let anyone other than the temple worshippers pass through in the first place." ”

Katrina stood up straight, "You remind me of a word, worshippers can pass here, because they know the rules of the temple, the rules", she kept tapping her lips with her index finger, "Think about it, this temple mechanism, that gate, that conference room, what do you tell us?The builders don't like to use the touch traps that are popular in our time, they prefer artistic visual constructions, and this may be the secret", she snatched the torch from Tarrant's hand, and shone it down, the ground was black, there was no pattern, no bumps......
