Chapter 51: The Passage Constructed by the Teleportation Circle
It took the soldiers a whole day to dig up and find the chamber. The priest of the wind god continued the process: "The final explosion almost completely destroyed the fifteen-meter downward passage, but fortunately, the underground chamber was all built of masonry, and it was relatively unaffected by the explosion, so fortunately more than half of the chamber space was left intact. There, we found the most crucial thing. ”
"It's a two-way teleportation circle, and you can't tell where it leads. Moreover, since there were no mages in the team, we had no way of knowing what the situation was on the other side of the circle, and we didn't even know if there would be an enemy ambush, so everyone felt that this was a very troublesome matter. ”
"But fortunately, at this time, Mr. Pannis took the initiative to stand up and take on the responsibility of finding the way. Originally, we didn't agree, because Mr. Pannis's combat power may be the weakest in the whole team, but Mr. Pannis insisted that all of us were not as skilled in dealing with danger as he combined, and although I don't know why, Mr. Moore, as the highest combat force in the team, also supported Mr. Pannis's proposition, and as a result, we had no choice but to let Mr. Pannis take the lead. ”
"But fortunately, there is no danger on the other side of the teleportation array, and on the other side is a natural underground tunnel, there are no forks in the tunnel for several kilometers, and there are no magical beasts, only some ordinary beasts. The biggest trouble with the whole tunnel was that there was no light, and it was pitch black, so Mr. Pannis soon returned. ”
"After that, we spent the night preparing all the supplies according to the list made by Mr. Pannis and Helena Sage, and after resting for the night, we officially entered the underground tunnels the next day to begin the journey. To tell you the truth, although my strength is also at the Golden Rank, I, Benn, and Amber are all Templars, and I have almost never participated in this kind of exploration of unknown locations, which is a new experience for me personally. So I was so excited and nervous that I hardly fell asleep all night, and I didn't sleep for a while until it was almost dawn. ”
"Understandable. Catherine smiled nostalgically, "The first time I went out on an adventure, I was also excited to roll in bed all night. ”
"The first adventure was a long underground journey. It's not that good. But even so, I don't think I'll ever forget what I experienced in the last few days. Teresa smiled shallowly, but not the usual professional, sacred, soothing clergyman's smile, but a smile from the heart: "After entering the underground tunnel, we found that the exit of the teleportation array was at the end of the tunnel. We searched all the way with the help of the lighting equipment we had prepared, and we didn't find any trace of the enemy until we reached the other end of the tunnel, but luckily, we found a second teleportation circle at the other end of the tunnel. ”
"Wait a minute. Vivien suddenly interrupted Teressa's narration and asked with a frown, "Aren't there any magic wave locks in these two teleportation circles you encountered?"
The Mana Wave Lock is a special circle setup technique that is specifically used on teleportation circles. When this kind of safety is set, in order to activate the circle, it is necessary to use a certain frequency of magic fluctuations, otherwise no matter how powerful the mage is, it will not be able to activate the teleportation circle. This is the kind of insurance that is set up for most teleportation circles. In many cases, it has become the instinct of most mages to draw circles and set up wave locks, unless some common circles remain undefended.
"Nope. Knowing that Teresa didn't know anything about the magic circle, Moore, who was half a mage, replied for her: "I and Pannis also wondered about this question, I don't understand why the other party doesn't add a fluctuation lock to prevent it from being used by others, and then we summarized it, there may be several reasons." First, it's not as important as everyone thinks, and it doesn't need to be as guarded. Second, the other side is an organization. There are a lot of people inside, and it is possible to use these circles, so there are no locks to make it easier for others to use them. Third. When the other party left, he should have planned to destroy the teleportation array, but we made a time difference, after the legendary mage in the town evacuated, and the gold rank professional evacuated and destroyed the magic circle, we were caught in a short period of time, so we were able to find it so smoothly. Whatever the reason. Anyway, we managed to follow the circle all the way to explore. It was a long journey, and we passed through four circles, all of which were set up in confined spaces with no outside world, so that we could not tell where we had been, and we had to follow the circle all the way forward. Some of these confined spaces, like the first tunnel, are only a few kilometers long and have no forks, but some are huge underground cave systems like spider webs, not only long, but also full of forks in the road, and the environment is dark, even with strong lighting, it is very troublesome to walk"
"The main thing is that we are causing trouble, we don't know how to explore in a confined underground with lighting equipment, and we made a few jokes, during which I got lost once. Teresa turned red, but generously told some of her actions as amusement: "But fortunately, Mr. Pannis's voice got me back, otherwise I would have starved to death in that huge hole in the ground." ”
"The first four teleportations were all through natural tunnels, and the fifth was purely man-made. The fifth teleportation point is a large basement that is completely sealed with masonry and has no access. There were only two circles in the room, one on the left and one on the right, and there were no other items. ”
"Sealed?" Vivien raised her eyebrows: "What about ventilation?
"There should be an air conversion circle in the walls, or some small air vents leading to the outside world. Pannis interjected and explained, "It's not stuffy at all. ”
"Understood. Vivien nodded, "You go on." ”
"The sixth time is a similar chamber. Teresa continued, "Mr. Pannis believes that the enemy has not found a suitable underground space to use, so he has to spend a lot of effort to build these two underground chambers. By the time we had finished our seventh teleportation, we had arrived at an amazing space. ”
"What space?" Catherine suddenly realized as she looked around at Teresa's surroundings, "This is it?"
"No, no, no, it's not here, it's very close to here. Teresa replied, "It should belong to the same place or be at the same time." Mr. Pannis thinks that this is a goblin creation, and that it should be a sewer from the goblin period, but I never knew that a sewer could be built on this scale. ”
"I'll explain this to you later, Miss Teresa. Catherine said, "But Pannis's guess is right, this is indeed a goblin sewer." ”
"It doesn't really matter. Teresa smiled and said, "The first sewer we passed was very short, winding five kilometers in a winding way. But strangely, the ends of both ends of this waterway were broken very abruptly, and there were some twisted and torn marks on it, as if they had been broken by someone holding it and forcefully breaking it. As before, teleportation circles are located at the ends of the sewers. After teleporting again, the location we arrived at was still the sewer, but this time it was an extremely large area, not as large as the one we were in now, but it was much larger than all the underground spaces we had passed through before. ”
"It was there that we were attacked for the first time. Teresa seemed to bring back some bad memories, and said in a low voice, "It's those cleaning puppets that attacked us. ”
"Do you know the names of those puppets?" Vivien glanced at Catherine. Catherine knew what she was wondering about, and the two of them knew it was called a cleaning puppet because Indulgence had told them. But the team in front of them definitely didn't have a chance to accept this preferential treatment, how could they know so clearly?
"Actually, I didn't know before. Teresa said, "However, Mr. Pannis told us the title of these puppets. ”
"Pennis?" Vivien looked at Pennis quizzically, "How do you know?" ”
"They told me on their own. As if doing a trivial thing, Pannis said casually, "Have you forgotten that I am very familiar with goblin language, and I have no problem listening and reading normally." Every time the cleaning golem appears, it will say a long list of nonsense unhurriedly, and some of that nonsense actually explains the types and attributes of these golems. ”
Goblin Language...... It's a hassle. Vivien pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "Go ahead, I won't interject." ”
"These cleaning golems don't have too much attack power, so they don't cause much trouble for everyone. Teresa continued, "But it was so big that it took us more than a day and a half to walk around it before we found the circle that led to the next passage. However, it was late at that time, and everyone decided to find a place to rest for the night and wait for the next day to continue. ”
After the proposal was unanimously approved, everyone began to look for a place to spend the night. As a result, this search officially allowed us to discover a big secret. ”
"Secret?" Catherine asked, puzzled, "what did you find?"
"It's not a secret. Teresa thought for a moment and corrected, "We've found a goblin city...... A small corner of it. ”
Hearing Teressa's first half of the sentence, Catherine and Vivien stood up excitedly at the same time. But before he could say anything, he was beaten back into the valley by the second half of the sentence. In every sense, the ruins of a complete goblin city are not on the same level at all compared to the ruins of a certain corner of the city, and it is no wonder that the mood of the two is up and down.
