Chapter 318: Temple
For the next few days, Bracada's march remained as steady and efficient as the first day. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Days and Monica constantly send people to clear the obstacles in front.
After three days of marching, they finally came to the location predetermined on the map, the misty mountain forest.
Arriving at the foot of the Misty Mountains, Dais and Monica re-inquired with Cedros about what to do next.
Cedros's answer was simple, "Send someone to find a temple in the Misty Mountains." ”
This answer left Days and Monica a little confused. They really couldn't understand why a temple was built in such an inaccessible place. However, since it is the employer's request, it can only be complied with.
However, due to the toxins contained in the fog in the Misty Mountains, those with low cultivation levels would basically be a dead end after entering, so the candidates for entry had to continue to be streamlined.
Cedros directly divided the team into more than twenty teams, each with several mages, a stone warrior, and a local guide. This not only ensures the combat effectiveness of each team, but also ensures the protection ability of each team. And Cedros himself, alone is responsible for one direction. Somla, for his part, stayed outside with the rest of the men, building a camp and preparing for reception and reinforcements.
After arranging the team, the group took a short break and went directly into the mountains.
Days followed the five mages into the Misty Mountains as a squad. In fact, Days has been the leader for many years, and because of his long-term orders, he has changed from a hands-on to a brain-moving, although his strength has not decreased much, but when it comes to the level of reconnaissance and search, it is really not necessarily stronger than a professional scout. However, as a leader, even to take the lead, he had to go into the mountains to investigate, even if it was to go in and around. It's a matter of attitude.
Days and his party made their way down a small river towards a hill, and their task today was to search the two hills in front of them.
As he drove the road ahead, he thought about what to do next, how to win the maximum benefit with the least casualties.
A few people walked forward slowly, although the fog seriously obstructed the line of sight, and there was still a lot of obstacle to the detection spell, but the detection spell could still be used after all, and the five mages jointly cast the joint detection spell, which was used to move and detect, it was much easier than finding it with their eyes. They believed that if they were given enough time, they would be able to turn an area upside down, and finding a temple would be a breeze.
Several mages climbed over one hill after another with great interest, reaping disappointments again and again. Days looked up at the sun in the sky, and then said to one of the leaders of several mages, "Master Ronis, I think this is the end of the day, it is almost dark, and the time limit of the antidote on our bodies is almost up, if we can't exit the misty region in time, we will have to shed a layer of skin even if we don't die." ”
Mage Ronis also looked at the sky, and then at the somewhat tired team members before nodding in agreement, "Okay, just do as you say, we will exit after searching this mountain, anyway, we have searched such a large place today, and it is enough to make a difference." ”
Then he said to the mages who were looking at him, "Brothers, work harder, and we'll go back after searching this mountain." ”
"Yes, Captain. The following mages agreed with a bang, and then increased their mana output, apparently intending to complete the task as soon as possible.
However, luck always strikes inadvertently.
Just as several mages were about to gather their team and go back, one of the mages suddenly sighed in surprise, and then shouted to Mage Ronis, "Captain, there is a large artificial building in the southwest direction, should we go and see it." ”
"Large man-made structure?" Ronis's eyes lit up when he heard this, if their team could be the first to discover the temple and report the news, then they would be able to get a lot of rewards, and even he would be thrilled by these rewards, so after hearing this report, he immediately prepared to check it out.
Many of his team members also had golden lights in their eyes after hearing this, and in their eyes, the unknown artificial structure in the distance seemed not to be an unknown existence, but a golden treasure.
Days was also very happy to hear this, although he didn't play much of a role, but being able to stay in the first team to discover the temple was a victory in itself, and Days could already foresee that he had a slight advantage in the battle with Monica.
The refreshed spirits of the few people mustered up their strength and walked three or four miles southwest in one breath, and in a small mountain depression, they saw a majestic temple.
The location of the temple building is very secretive, and if it weren't for their detection spells, it would have been really difficult to detect its existence if they had just observed it with the naked eye.
The temple is very old, and many of the carvings and architectural styles are clearly in the style of the previous period. This style has been gradually lost in recent centuries, and only occasionally can be seen in royal gardens.
The temple seems to have been left unattended for a long time, the cloister in the courtyard in front of the temple and the corridor on the outer side have collapsed, and many of the decorative columns have become dilapidated. The once delicate fountain has become incomplete, and the garden that was once full of flowers is now overgrown with weeds. Occasionally, a gray shadow flashed through the grass, and it was some low-level rat.
"Captain, is this what we're aiming for?" said one of the team members excitedly.
"I don't know, but it looks like it should be about the same, let's send a flare first, and wait until the adults come to decide. Ronis said with burning eyes.
"Yes. With his command, a turquoise fluorescent single was shot into the sky, and with a bang, it exploded in the sky.
"My lord, what do we do now?" said Dyce, who also walked over and asked Ronis, "Do you want us to check it out first, and then wait until the adults come to give us more details." ”
Ronis glanced at Dais and said, "No need, Lord Cedros likes to explore, and if we enter first, I'm afraid it will cause disgust from adults, so let's just stay here and don't do too much." ”
"Yes, yes, what the adults taught me is that I have engraved it in my heart. Days cursed in his heart as he spoke, "Isn't it just a mage, if it weren't for Bracada's sake, I would have to give the other party some color." ”
Just as Days was secretly slandering, a streamer flashed in the distance, and after a while, a mage wearing a purple robe came to the two of them, "Is that the signal you sent?" ”
"Your Excellency, please see. Ronis turned sideways as he thought about the building behind him, and a towering and dilapidated temple appeared in front of several people.
