Chapter 142: Planting a Garden

"Are you sure?" said Kiravidon, pulling out a torch and shining it on the ground, "I thought wizards would only be humans," the acid turned her to her stomach, and she needed a little dragon wine to comfort her.

"He's human, using Elaine's Transfiguration to transform into this form", Tarrant took a step back, the clutter was approaching the team, and it seemed to be planning to fight back.

"Since yesterday?" said Katrina with questioning tones, "it's past ten o'clock, more than twenty-four hours of fiction chapters. โ€

"Yes, that's how he left Davis's house, he didn't expect to climb here, to make flints, no, he should use dragon wine," Tarrant waved his hand at the priest, "and solve a big problem first." โ€

"Never!" Killavidon stuffed the wine into her spirit pouch, "Sadistic perverted paladin, it's just a pile of shit!

"Wait," explained Katrina, "Elaine's Transfiguration is not a permanent spell, and although it has a longer duration than a normal spell, it can't last that long. โ€

"Really?" Tarrant couldn't be sure, the creatures on the ground were identical, and they might be distinguished from each other by the food in their bodies, "but we shouldn't give up that possibility." โ€

Catrina said, "The distance from the Davis House to here is impossible to reach in twenty-four hours at the speed of sludge, and besides, there is no reason for Mr. Graydon to see what it eats in this form." โ€

Puff ~ puff ~ The mouse has completely disappeared, leaving only a few strands of blood in the lวœsรจ smucus.

"She's right," Kira Veton jumped to the other side of the sewer. "We shouldn't waste wine, bastard. โ€

"Alright, I hope you're right, get out of here," Tarrant said, holding Katrina.

Poof~ The sludge stopped in place, and the team quickly distanced itself from it.

"I have a question, since the guy just now is not Graydon, where did it come from?" Tarrant suddenly became interested.

"The mages are not sure how it came about," replied Katrina, "only that they live in dark, damp, rotten places. Nature's scavenger. โ€

"Think about when we were kids running like crazy in the sewers. I've never seen anything like this before. โ€

"It could be that the Siante sewers have piled up too much rot, or that some magic has been abused to draw them here. โ€

Kira Veton spread his hands, "It's obviously the former, the corpses of the victims, the archmaster mages who are hiding, rodents, all kinds of feces. It's fertile ground for them. The development of Siante attracted a variety of creatures. Hahaha. โ€

"Shut up," Tarrant gesticulated, and they were at the crossroads. There are no obvious trap crates around.

"The magic trap is around here", Katrina walked towards the left passage, surrounded by damp masonry, and she continued to sense the magic feedback, which was already very close.

"Don't let your guard down," Tarrant tapped on the wall, and there was no hollow echo.

Kira Veton pushed Tarrant away, "Look at this", she crouched down, there were some purple powdery objects on the ground, she twisted some with her fingers, those strange things stuck to her fingers like paint, accompanied by a slight smell of ** plant leaves.

"What is it?" There were no of these things on the wall, Tarrant lay on the ground and carefully distinguished, it seemed to be mosses, but this color was rare, he used the tip of his sword to cut through the accumulation in the corner of the wall, "Look, these things are spreading out from under the wall", he stood up and took a step back, "There must be space behind the wall." โ€

Katrina confirmed, "There's a magic trap behind this wall, this is it." โ€

The team scattered to find the trap box, the arched walls around the sewers were no longer as strong as they had been built, many cracks and loosens appeared between the masonry, and they tore every suspicious void, and the door to the vault did not activate.

"We're wasting our time," Kiraweton grabbed her cloak and walked to the door of the chamber, "Let's be more direct!" her little silver hammer aimed at the wall.

"No!" Tarrant stopped with his hand.

"Smack!" the priest had smashed a brick in front of him, and a sudden crash in the silence echoed throughout the passage, a magical afterglow shot out from the inside, and the magic trap was triggered, but the wall blocked its external effect, "Those Sven mages must not have thought that they could open the door like this", Kira Viton was very proud.

"Good! Now they know there's a guest," Tarrant could only use the hilt of his sword to smash the door of the chamber.

A purple air wafted out of it, filled with powder similar to that found on the ground.

"Be careful", Tarrant covers his nose to warn his teammates.

The air continued to drift outward, and in a matter of seconds, a layer of lilac was dyed near the broken wall.

Tarrant asked the mage, "Have you ever seen anything like this?"

"No", Katrina cautiously peered into the chamber, the hole was too small to see more purple air, "probably some kind of pollen", she rubbed her eyes, the concentration in the air was too high to produce irritation, "Ordinary people can't live normally in this air." โ€

"They're all stupid dogs", Kira Veton held her breath and chanted at the entrance of the cave to filter the air, and the magic ball flew into the secret room to make the turbid air fresh in an instant, "there was no one inside", she saw the scene inside.

"Gotta go in and see", Tarrant slammed on the wall, the wall collapsed under the impact of the half-human-high brick, he quickly bent down and flashed in, the situation in the secret room was dazzling, the entire space was covered with purple mushroom-like vegetation, from the ground to the top of the wall about twelve feet on top of the dense layer, each individual was less than a third of an inch, the small plush structures on top of the vegetation continued to emit powder, "The air is polluted by them, I'm afraid it will be back to the way it was in a few minutes." โ€

"Hopefully there wasn't a knock on the wrong door", Kirawiton patted the dust off his chest, "otherwise the owner of this botanical garden would be angry", the shape of the space proves that the place is artificial, and clearly not a design need for the sewers.

There was a line of footprints on the ground that led to the wall, and Tarrant pointed to the wall, "There is a secret space behind the wall. โ€

Katrina followed her teammates, "I only found a magic trap, here!" she tripped on her toes and threw herself on Kiraviton's cloak.

"Walk carefully, my little liver", Gilavidon helped her up, "the knight will blame me for not protecting his sweetheart." โ€

"Thank you for helping me confess", Tarrant turned around, tripped over the mage's thing and was kicked in the center, that was ...... A leather boot with an exposed toe, which he struck away with his sword, revealed a coarse cloth civilian dress in the vegetation, covered with vegetation that made it impossible to see the details, but such civilian clothes were usually the garment of low-class laborers, which presumably reminded Tarrant of the missing scavenger in the cemetery, "Victim, whoever this botanical garden owns, he's in trouble", he cut through his clothes and looked at the corpse's legs, "At least two weeks, but ...... His muscles are strangely colored, and there is no process for decay. โ€

Kiraweton looked at it, "It's like the color of the air, maybe it's a change from long-term exposure here." โ€

"It's terrible", Catrina became terrified of the plants around her, they must be some kind of threat.

There was a slight resonance on the "buzz" wall, and the source of the vibration came from behind the wall where the footprints had disappeared, and there were other people here.

Tarrant raised his sword, "Meet this master", there was a mushroom-covered bulge on the wall, which he carefully scraped open, a trap box, "Ready." โ€

Katrina chanted a scroll spell, and a gray twilight condensed from the air into a human form at the summoner's feet, and Kiraviton cast her blessing.

Tarrant grabbed the trap gate, and on the other side of the wall there were two experienced mage opponents, and he was ready to start a pleasant journey at the moment of meeting, giving the phantom to the other party, and he gestured to count down, three, two......

"Goo", an anomaly emanates from the vegetation, like rusty metal rubbing against each other.

Tarrant slowly released the trap brake, gesturing his teammates to back off, there was something hidden in the vegetation, he may have inadvertently touched other traps, Tarrant bent closer.

The "Goo" metal object began to move, and the layers of vegetation surged to show the human form.

Realizing the danger, Tarrant "Keep your distance!"

A giant fist pierced out of the mushroom, a silvery luster could be faintly seen in the purple, the mechanical components, Tarrant's horizontal sword blocked, the giant fist bombarded the sword body of the dragon emblem, the brute force blew away the paladin like a hurricane, Tarrant's eyes shook violently, and when he could see clearly, he had fallen into the mushrooms in the corner of the wall on the other side, he tasted the taste of these plants, salty, bitter and thick.

Catrina saw her opponent clearly, a mechanical artifact half the height of Tarrant, "Zircon Golem!" (to be continued......
