Chapter 46: Into the Treasure
"None?"
It took the mage a long time to understand what Magellan meant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, after understanding, he seemed very calm.
"That's the key. ”
Magellan also had this speculation, but he was not sure.
"It's easy, let's go find the lock and try it. ”
The mage leader seemed convinced of this speculation, and he put his hand on Magellan's shoulder: "Anytime, if you need help, you can come to me, as long as you say my name, Shamir, I will definitely come to help you." ”
Magellan felt that the Shamir mage was too arbitrary, and that the copper block could indeed be the key, but it was not 100% likely.
Shamir's enthusiasm embarrassed him a little, after all, it was useless, and if it wasn't the key, the mage's promise would be a bit ridiculous.
But Shamir didn't think so at all, and he shouted orders to the mages on the shore of the water, and soon, the barrier was removed and all the mages were ready to go.
"We're going to open the treasure, it would be nice if you would come along, of course, the crusader's cathedral is not in the direction of the treasure, and if you want to rest, just wait in the city. ”
Magellan was not in good spirits, after all, he had just been through a lot, but he decided to go along anyway because he didn't want to miss the moment when the treasure was opened, although this time the mage was unlikely to succeed.
The countess did not want to go back to the city and wait, so they left a mage to report to the countess, and the rest were all on the flying carpet.
This time they were lucky, despite the scorching sun, there was no wind and sand, they had lunch by an oasis, and then moved on, and finally, before the sun set, they came to a sand dune.
The mages lined up on one side of the dunes, from high to low, chanting with their hands held high.
A faint stream of air began to appear, flowing from between the mage's hands at the top to the front. With each passing of the mage's hand, the current grew stronger, and eventually, when it rushed above Shamir's head, it was already a howling wind.
Shamir, who stood at the front of the mage's ranks, was facing the side of a sand dune, and the wind rushed straight into the dune, kicking up a cloud of sand and dust, and the sound of the wind drowned out the mage's chanting, and the dunes kept retreating in the face of the wind.
Magellan and the Countess hid behind the mage, watching the magic they had never seen before, like watching a wonderful opera, except for the wind and sand in the sky and the excitement, the rest really didn't know anything else.
It didn't take long for the mages to lower their hands, and the wind and sand slowly dispersed, revealing a stone gate under the sand dunes that had been raging for a long time.
The mages had excited looks on their faces, and Shamir nodded and stepped forward to open the stone door.
But instead of going in, he came to Magellan and the countess: "Here is the treasure, my esteemed friend, please come in." ”
Magellan, who was uncomfortable with the mage's enthusiasm, saluted the countess, "Ladies first. ”
The countess smiled and walked through the stone door.
The mages swam in behind Shamir and lit torches. The group walked through a long corridor and came to a circular hall.
In the middle of the hall was a table, but other than that, there was nothing.
Magellan looked around, there was nothing on the four walls of this hall, as was the ceiling on top.
Shamir made a beeline for the platform in the middle of the hall. It was a cylindrical shape standing on the ground, almost as high as a man's waist on top, with nothing on it.
Magellan walked over to the platform and watched as Shamir placed the copper nugget on the platform, and the platform changed.
It was like turning from stone to sand, and the platform quietly completed this change in an instant, and the copper block seemed to be on top of the quicksand, slowly swallowed by the white sand.
When the copper was gone, the platform changed again, and the sand gathered back into stone, but with an extra groove on it.
Shamir took Reinhardt's Seal Ring from his bosom - Magellan had already given it to the mage chief for safekeeping, and the silver hand's coat of arms was placed downwards in the groove.
Then the table changed again, and the ring disappeared.
At this moment, there was a dull crash from the depths of the earth, and then accompanied by the continuous sound of gears turning, a gap appeared in the walls around the hall, and light came through it.
At the same time, several copper handles protrude from the sides of the table, and the top is a strange pattern.
"That's ......," Shamir whispered to himself, "that's the key, and now it's only one step away......"
He circled around the table, and there were six patterned handles at the top, and the light from the walls shone on the ground.
Magellan took out the mechanical copper plate and handed it to Shamir.
The mage leader knew what to do now, and he began to turn the small ring.
This ring is a complete ring pattern, if you only look at the pattern on the handles, you will feel very weird and ugly, look at this pattern, you can see that it is part of this complete pattern.
Shamir tried to turn the handle, and as expected, the handle did. He easily found the correspondence of the patterns on the copper plate and turned all the handles into the correct position.
There was a muffled sound inside the column, and then the handle began to turn on its own, forming a neat row from top to bottom. Then the crowd noticed that the floor beneath their feet began to fall.
Shamir burst out laughing, and all the mages looked very excited, and they embraced each other and said something in a voice that Magellan and the Countess did not understand.
The circular platform descended, and it didn't take long for it to leave the cylindrical shaft and descend into an open space.
There was a lot of colored light, and the mages were lying on the edge of the platform, pointing to the place where the light was coming from and laughing.
Magellan looked at the huge space below and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
This is worthy of the treasure house of the mage lord, just the magic materials piled up outside are like small mountains, and the place where the truly valuable magic items are stored is a golden palace, and I don't know what will be inside.
Once the platform reached the bottom of the space, the mages scattered and rushed towards their respective targets, with only Shamir remaining calm and removing the bronze key and ring from the platform. But the smile on his face and the trembling of his hands betrayed him, and the mage leader was just as overwhelmed by ecstasy.
"The mages of the White Tower will not forget you, Professor Magellan, and Countess Helen......"
"Let's go see what's in the vault first. ”
