The crimson moon represents the silence of death, the silvery moon represents the bloom of life, and the blue moon represents the mystery of magic and knowledge in the world. Under the moonlight of the blue night, the air pulsates with surging mana, the elements of magic dance under the moon, and the light of magic flutters in the wind. It was approaching midnight, and all spell professionals could feel the throbbing from the depths of their blood, a gift and mercy from the blue lady Lucia.
The full moon Lucia, sprinkled with bright moonlight, shrouded the world with a layer of pale blue twilight, through the blue light, everything between heaven and earth was hazy, and full of mystery.
"It's almost time. Vivien looked at the artificially dug waterhole on the ground, staring at the reflection of the moon gradually emerging in the waterhole: "In ten minutes, the moon will move to a certain position, and that will be the time when the gate opens." ”
"Are you ready? The front should be the end of our adventure, and the last part of the road must be completed smoothly. Catherine knelt down on one knee, carefully arranging the shin armor on her legs once more, and finally put on the armor of her knee joints, and covered herself in a special scale armor again: "It may not have been entered for many, many years, I wonder if there will be unknown dangers, Mr. Elard, are you sure you want to go in with us? If you are not willing to take the risk, you can wait here." Even if you don't go in, once we find the treasure, we will pay you a five-percent share as usual. ”
"I've lived in the forest for many years, and it's the first time I've encountered something so interesting. Elad said: "Although there may be dangers inside, but after working together all these days, I believe that you are fully capable of protecting my safety in danger, so if you don't object, I still want to follow in and have a look, which can be regarded as an accumulation of experience." ”
"Then as you wish. Catherine nodded in agreement: "I will do my best to ensure your safety, but I must state in advance that if we encounter force majeure factors that cause us to fail to ...... in the end"
"That's my bad luck. Elad interrupted Catherine: "There will be absolutely no complaints. ”
"It's about to begin, and the fluctuations in the magic are getting stronger and stronger. Although as a priest and not a mage, I have no control over this pure magic, but I can sense the condensation of magic that is getting stronger and stronger. When Elad ended her seven-day life of being alone in a tent and almost secluded, and resumed her actions with the four members of the party, Lina hid her abnormal nature again, this time her words and deeds were full of divine aura, which was completely in line with her own professional characteristics, so that people could rest assured that their health and life would be in her hands when they saw her: "Vivian, a question suddenly occurred to me. ”
"How to get back?" Vivien's eyes were still fixed on the reflection of the blue moon in the waterhole.
"Yes, that's it. Lina didn't even hold her beloved novel in her hand at this time, but spread out the silver law book in front of her, and continued to ask while flipping it: "If we go in for a long time, and the power of the Blue Lord fades, will the entrance be closed?
"Rest assured, she's ready. Pannis was lying on the edge of the waterhole with his legs crossed, a toothpick in his mouth, and his arms were half-squinted and he was looking at the sky leisurely: "There will be no problem at all." ”
"That's good. Although Pannis's answer was very vague, Lina, who was originally curious, uncharacteristically did not ask, but drew a square on her chest with one hand, and began to flip the Dharma book and pray silently.
"What's wrong, Catherine. Leisurely, Pannis noticed that Catherine had drawn her one-handed sword again and began to wipe it a third time, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you weird? ”
"Ahh......h Hmm, I'm just ......"
"She's overexcited. Vivien said leisurely, "I'm already overwhelmed with excitement. ”
"What's there to be excited about?" said Pannis, feeling inexplicable.
"That's a lot of money. Catherine put away her sword, clenched her hands into fists in front of her chest, her eyes shining with excitement, and her voice became sharp with excitement: "The wealth of a kingdom accumulated over generations. Oh my God, I can't even imagine how much it would be. You see, you see, there are pieces of rare materials, a lot of gems and spars, countless luxury goods and works of art, piles of Mithril coins and magic stone coins, haha, haha, the feeling of holding a handful of Mithril coins and spilling them on your body from the top of your head, oh my God, this is really heaven on earth. Shhhh......h It's ......."
"She's gone crazy. Vivien rolled her eyes helplessly: "Lina, I think the eldest sister needs you." ”
"There is no need for treatment. Lina gestured to Catherine with a holy face: "Now all we can do is pray for her, for the mercy of the gods." ”
"I think she'll beat you both up if she comes to her senses. Pannis smiled wryly and stretched out his hand in front of Catherine: "Wake up, it's dawn, it's time to get up." ”
"Give up, it's useless. Vivien smiled very happily: "This is the second time she has been in this state, and she can't wake up unless there is a change in the situation, such as the entrance suddenly opens." ”
"Isn't it the first time?" asked Pannis, surprised, "When was the first time?"
"More than two years ago. Lina closed the law book and beat rhythmically on the ground with a mace in boredom: "That time, our adventuring party had just been promoted to the silver rank, and it was the first time that we completed a five-figure reward mission. She was the same that time, giggling all night. ”
"Hehe, hehe. Pannis was speechless and could only express his current mood with a dry smile.
"It's time. Vivien's expression suddenly froze, and she pointed to the waterhole and said, "The blue moon is already in place, and I already feel the energy in the moonlight beginning to be reflected by the surface of the water. ”
"I felt it too. Pannis looked up at the special location on the rock wall with a serious face, and his heart was full of curiosity about the entrance to the treasure room designed by people hundreds of years ago.
Under the pale blue moonlight, the magical energy continued to converge on the activation device on the rock wall, and the activation device was as bright as a lighthouse in the magic sensing of all the casters. Gradually, as the magical energy gathered more and more strongly, a striking white light suddenly shot out from the rock wall where the device was activated. The white light shot straight into the ground at the bottom of the crater, condensing into a circular spot on the ground.
"Why is there no movement?" Lina asked curiously, "Do we still lack some set-up?"
"No, don't worry. Pannis shook his head and said, "It will take time for this entrance to open. ”
"Well, this is a secondary excitation device. Vivien said, "It seems that the rock wall is just a device for gathering and refracting, refracting the collected magical energy to the ground, and the real opening device is actually at this point in the ground." Ha, it's funny to set up an entrance so complicated. ”
"No way, after all, it's to prevent others from breaking in. "It's understandable that it's a little more complicated. ”
"Look, there's movement. Catherine's voice came from behind the trio.
"Huh, big sister?" said Lina to Catherine in surprise, "You woke up so soon? ”
"What woke up?" Catherine asked, confused, "I didn't sleep at all, did something happen?"
"Uh, it's fine, nothing happened. Lina laughed dryly, then suddenly pointed to the ground and said with an exaggerated expression, "Wow, look, there's movement." ”
"That's too fake, isn't it? Catherine rolled her eyes and muttered suspiciously, "There must be something hidden from me." ”
The light spot refracted on the ground changed, and from the position of the light spot, a pillar of light suddenly shot out towards the sky directly above, and after the light pillar extended to a height of three meters, it no longer extended upwards and remained still. The next moment, the pillar of light, which was originally only the thickness of a wrist, suddenly began to spread out to both sides, as if a person was holding a scroll and slowly pulling it apart, gradually extending the circular pillar of light into a flat light curtain composed of white light.
"It's an ancient portal design. The corners of Vivien's mouth twitched, and she said with some disappointment, "I thought there would be some new technology." ”
"This is also teleportation magic?" Catherine had never seen this form of teleportation spell before, and couldn't help but ask, "It's ancient?"
"Well, fifteen hundred years ago, this kind of teleportation magic was popular. Vivien explained, "But since the teleportation circle was modified more than nine hundred years ago, the performance and cost have been greatly improved, and this old spell is no longer used. Unexpectedly, the Naren Kingdom was obviously destroyed seven hundred years ago, and it was still using this outdated teleportation spell. ”
"They perished 700 years ago, but this kind of treasure room as a last resort was not necessarily built 700 years ago. Pannis stretched out his finger and poked at the light curtain, but there was no change: "Maybe it has been built since the first generation of the royal family, so it makes sense to use this spell." ”
"Well, you have a point. Vivien closed her eyes in front of the light curtain for a while, and pouted: "The teleportation distance is no more than two kilometers, and it seems that the treasure is hidden in the underground around and I don't know where." ”
"How long will this last?" Catherine circled around the light curtain, turning her head and asking, "Can you support us until we come back?"
"About two hours. Vivien said, "But it looks like it's supposed to be one-way, and there's probably a one-way circle that can be activated as an exit." Don't worry, even if there is a problem, I'm ready to solve it, let's go, let's go in, the treasure is still waiting for us. ”
