Chapter 3: The Minaret

The mysterious green light lasted for three breaths, and then suddenly disappeared, and all the people in the camp moved, and after a brief cleaning of the camp, they rushed to the spire.

The dilapidated minaret, though dilapidated, is still very well preserved from a distance, and it was once the core symbol of the power of the ancient city of Findren Elemental, and the closest to the magical rainbow in rumors.

Kasan had been loyal to Arissanret's Silver Archer Regiment, but had never entered the Magic Guild, and it wasn't a place for anyone to enter.

She had heard from the tavern owner that the magic guild of Arissanret had four levels and a total of fourteen spells, five first-level magic, four second-level magic, three third-level magic, and two fourth-level magic.

The abandoned spire in front of him was once the oldest fifth-level magic guild of the elemental race, and it was rumored that the highest place of the spire had even been carved with fifth-level magic.

Kasan has participated in many battles, but most of them have been purge campaigns, and the targets are also thieves or treacherous ones, she has seen several war spells, she has seen several damage spells, and she has heard that the same damage magic is cast from different people, there are differences. Either way, even the weakest mage can easily take several lives with a single magic arrow.

Looking at the spire in front of her, Kashan paid attention to the noble lady with her spare eyes, her brow furrowed slightly, thinking about something, and then quickly began to command everyone.

"Miss Vivien, you are with me, and you are with me, Jessira. Darrah, Ken, take Mr. Cade, and you three of you into the tower. The rest of the people were divided into two groups, all of them closer to each other, and scattered outside the tower to search. Kashan arranged for the stronger mercenaries to bring their employers into the tower, and the other weaker ones to guard outside to pick them up.

Six men, holding four torches, pushed open the broken door and cautiously entered the tower.

The space in the tower was large and dark, the light of the torches did not shine very far, there were only gravel on the ground, and there were many cracks and gaps in the walls, from which the torches of other mercenaries outside could be seen.

After adjusting to the light in the tower, Kashan carefully observed the environment in the hall, a ring of dense stone wall ladders swirled into the darkness, the wall ladder was not suspended, but a solid pointed inverted triangle embedded in the wall, the stone steps were slow and slow, not high at all, each level was about the size of a woman's palm, many faults had fallen to the hall, smashed into a pile of broken stones, some wooden guardrails were still there, but they were also tattered, most of the stone steps were empty.

"Darla, you go up first, Jessira follows, and I am the queen of the palace, willing to stay in the hall to take care of Miss. Kasan quickly commanded.

The swordsman put away his hippie smile, drew his short sword, held a torch in one hand and a short sword in the other, and cautiously began to walk up the stone steps, a huge hall was pitch black.

"Lady Kashan, allow me to go up with you. The aristocratic lady spoke suddenly.

Kassan, who was following behind Jesira, was just about to go up, and glanced back at Ken, who continued to walk up without answering, and the mercenary Ken reached out to stop the noble lady who was about to follow. Vivien stomped her foot in anger.

A few people quickly walked along the stone staircase around the wall to the second staircase, and there were many empty places in the middle, and there were no stone stairs, and several people jumped over easily. The swordsman Dara bore the brunt and went up to the second floor.

On the same floor, the whole hall was empty and barren, and at a glance it was clear that the floor was full of rubble and rotten wood, and the outlines of some huge bookshelves could be faintly seen.

The three of them continued to move quickly along the stone steps to the third floor, the space of the second floor was slightly smaller than the first, but it was much higher, and the staircase seemed to be longer, and in a short time, they went around the staircase and entered the third floor.

"Boss, there's a situation. Dara had just emerged from the third layer before he said cautiously, and the sword in his hand was raised. His eyes were fixed on the stone platform in the middle of the hall.

After ascending to the third floor, Kashan slightly pulled up the short bow in her hand, placed a feather arrow on it, and quickly scanned the space on the third floor, and then stared at the stone platform in the middle. The three of them spread out little by little.

Completely different from the first two floors, the third floor looks very clean, all the broken stones and rotten wood are tightly next to the third layer wall, as if specially swept to the corner of the wall, and in the middle is the stone platform, which has an even and flat gap around the entire stone platform, making the stone platform look like a stone coffin. The ring outside the stone platform is unusually clean and mysterious, and it looks like the stone platform is emitting air currents, knocking rubble and rotten wood into the walls.

Kasan seemed to realize something, the short bow in her hand slowly pulled away, the arrow was aimed in the direction of the stone platform, and slowly leaned over, Dara and Jessira also scattered with short swords and slowly approached the stone platform.

"It's like a sarcophagus. Jessila, who had seen the stone platform with a torch, spoke.

"Push away. The short bow in Kassan's hand was still pressed against the sarcophagus.

Dara inserted the dagger into her waist, placed the torch across the sarcophagus, and began to push the sarcophagus with Jessira. The sarcophagus that I thought would be very heavy, but I pushed it open very easily, and the entire sarcophagus lid was lifted to the ground, making some noise.

Although the light of the fire was limited, Kashan could clearly see the entire sarcophagus, a man in a red gold-rimmed mage robe lying quietly in the sarcophagus, as if asleep.

"He's alive and breathing. Darrah, who was up close, obviously saw more clearly, and said in surprise.

"Not good!" said Jessila, who had re-raised the torch.

Kashan was startled, her eyes moved away from the sarcophagus man, staring at the sarcophagus that had just been knocked to the ground, and at this moment, the sarcophagus lid began to crack one after another strange cracks, forming mysterious rune carvings. "Be careful, everyone, and get out of the way. Kasan cautiously motioned for everyone to step back.

Under the limited firelight, the three of them watched as the sarcophagus lid quickly dispersed, and slowly condensed into two humanoid slender stone figures that were at least two people tall. Before the three of them could react, a large number of stones in the corner of the wall slowly rose, levitated, and then flew towards the two stone figures, quickly attaching to the stone figures.

The "bang" sound of the stones colliding was endless, and soon two huge, more than three meters high, stone figures appeared in front of the three of them.

"It's a stone elemental, go down, go down, get out. Kasan roared back.

If there is no mistake in judgment, the two huge stone figures in front of him are likely to be fifth-order elite magical lifeforms, stone elementals, and high-level sacrifices are almost the same level of existence. And the two fifth-order elite lives are simply not something that a few of them can deal with.

"Withdraw, withdraw, get out. Jessila and Darla quickly ran back along the ladder that had come up, shouting to the crowd below who had not yet come up.

The queen of the palace Kashan cautiously stood at the edge of the stairway, staring at the stone elementals, many elemental beings are neutral lifeforms, as long as they do not attack them maliciously, they may not actively attack humans.

The huge stone man's body slowly emerged with dense broken stone lines, and the lines began to glow with dark red light little by little, and soon the head shattered into two pupils, as well as a large mouth, and the dark red light suddenly converged and stabilized on the lines.

"Human!" one of the stone elementals opened its mouth and let out a hoarse, metallic sound at Kasan.

"Say what you mean!" the stone elemental shook its body, looking as if it had just woken up and moved its joints.

"We have no ill will. Kasan exclaimed, slowly retracting the bow in her hand to show that she had no ill intentions.

"Why did you come to Findrun? It's an abandoned place. The stone elemental who spoke asked as he took a small step forward.

"We were just passing through looking for a place to rest. We don't have any ill will. Kasan re-emphasized, her forehead covered with sweat and her whole body tense.

"Lying! she's lying!" another stone elemental suddenly interrupted Kassan's words, and suddenly rushed towards Kassan, attacking!

Kashan decisively pulled out the short bow, and a feathered arrow "swished" and pierced the chest of the stone elemental, and the stone elemental who was attacked did not stop, and still rushed towards Kassan, ignoring the arrow on the chest.

The stone elemental was huge, not moving very fast, and every step seemed heavy and slow. In contrast, Kashan was very fast, with feathered arrows one after another, some nailed to the stone elemental, and some were bounced off and fell onto the stone slab, causing insignificant damage.

Seeing that he couldn't do much damage to the stone elementals, Kashan jumped and jumped steadily onto the stone steps, ready to retreat, and at this moment, there was a violent wave of magic power, and the dark red runes on the two stone elements were suddenly dispersed, and the two tall stone elements fell on the stone slab and shattered into two stone slabs.

Kashan found the red-robed man lying in the sarcophagus before, now pointing at the two broken stone elemental stone mills with one hand, and leaning against the sarcophagus with his head in the other.

Kashan looked at the two piles of rubble and the man in the sarcophagus in shock, and her heart beat violently. "Who are you?" Kasan pulled her bow and stared at the red-robed man in the sarcophagus.

"Who am I?!" The red-robed man in front of him suddenly held his forehead tightly with his hands and grabbed his hair, letting out a terrible howl, and a sharp pain in his brain.

The severe pain made the red-robed man struggle vigorously, and he turned out of the sarcophagus with a "poof", fell on the stone slab and struggled continuously, his eyes were closed, his expression was hideous, and the howl and the range of struggle went from large to small, and finally passed out.

During the whole process, Kashan kept staring at the red-robed man, keeping vigilant, and the short bow was tightly aimed at the red-robed man, until the red-robed man did not move for a long time, and then cautiously bypassed the two gravel piles and leaned over, stretched out his foot and kicked, making sure that the red-robed man was sure to faint, and Kashan slowly let go of the short bow in his hand.
