A ruin.

Alexander and Ted marched vigilantly with their staffs in hand.

As the first batch of mage apprentices, he and Ted have both been promoted to the level of fourth-level magicians, and with a large number of magical items they carry with them, their combat power far exceeds that of heroes.

Dispatching two at a time is enough to see the importance that the college attaches to this exploration.

"Fossils are mud!"

"Illumination!"

The ground of the rocks has been carved out into a passage, and there is light to illuminate it.

"This rock appears very strangely, not like it is naturally formed."

Alexander stroked the rock wall and said suddenly.

"That means, we're probably in the right place, Magic Blessing!" Ted was very happy: "Deep underground in this ruin, there is likely to be an 'obelisk'!" ”

"Yes, the jewel of the magician, the origin of all transcendental!"

Alexander said in admiration, and with a wave of his hand, several superstring warriors behind him had to enter it and act as a vanguard to open the way.

The group walked inside for an unknown amount of time, and an empty echo was heard.

"Got through...... Sure enough, there's an underground space! ”

Ted was overjoyed and rushed in with someone.

Alexander stretched out his hand, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

"Illumination!"

A huge ball of light emerged from the tip of the magic wand and soared into the sky, forming a sun-like day.

As far as the eye can see, there is a huge mausoleum-like structure, and on the Mayan pyramid in the center, an obelisk is faintly enshrined, surrounded by a large number of Zerg puppet guards.

At this moment, they all turned their heads, and a scarlet light bloomed from their eyes.

"This seems to be the trialists mentioned in the legend of the Mercenary Emperor, each of them has heroic strength!"

Alexander looked at the number of puppets, couldn't help but gasp, and waved his staff without thinking: "Labyrinth!" ”

Layers of labyrinths emerge in an instant, dividing the battlefield.

"Kill!"

"Kill them!"

Ted hid behind the Superstring Warrior, and powerful lethal spells continued to emerge from his staff.

They are already familiar with this set of processes and cooperation.

After a bloody battle, after paying the heavy price of casualties among the superstring warriors, the area was finally cleared and the road to the pyramid was opened.

"It's in the Wamon language......"

Alexander kicked the head of a Zerg puppet away, carefully observing the runes on the surface of the pyramid, as well as the numerous bones remains: "It's unbelievable...... Such a great Zerg civilization is still practicing bloody sacrifices and slave burial systems......"

"What do you do, go get the obelisk!"

Ted excitedly climbed the stairs to the obelisk.

The strings, and the marks left on them, seemed to speak the true meaning of magic, and he was hooked on it.

"Be careful, Ted, and possibly a trap!"

Alexander followed behind him, nervously reminding.

"I've tested it with magic...... It's okay! Believe me! ”

Ted reached out disapprovingly, wanting to touch the obelisk.

Smack!

At this moment, a stone slab in front of him suddenly turned over, revealing a strange vertical eye carving.

"This ......"

"Magic Barrier!"

Ted reacted quickly and instantly put on a colorful shield for himself.

But it didn't work!

His gaze was drawn to the runes of the vertical eyes, which seemed to contain infinite mysteries, deep and terrifying, made of many indescribable things.

As soon as he appeared, it occupied all his mind.

"It's beautiful......"

Ted muttered, and his head suddenly swelled to the size of a watermelon.

His two eyes kept bulging and eventually exploded.

Bang!

The watermelon-like head exploded, and the red and white poured to the ground.

"Ahh

Alexander didn't have time to think, and waved his staff: "Destroy the orb!" ”

A magic missile landed on the stone slab in front of the obelisk, making a violent corrosive sound.

As the white smoke rose, the original stone slab had been corroded.

Alexander's face was pale, he didn't dare to approach, and pointed to a superstring warrior: "You...... Go get the obelisk back! ”

The superstring warrior's expression was awe-inspiring, but when he saw the cold light in Alexander's eyes, he couldn't help but be shocked and walked in.

With a trembling hand, he grabbed the obelisk and pulled it hard.

"Drink!"

In the midst of the loud cheers, the obelisk was suddenly pulled out.

"A one-time trap? Can you hide from magic? ”

Alexander let out a long breath and looked at Ted's corpse, and couldn't help but feel sad: "My classmates, my friends...... May magic bless your spirit! ”

……

Imperial capital.

Inside the Mage's Tower.

"There's news......"

Taclau, holding a crystal ball, walked into the meditation room: "Alexander's team has made a discovery and excavated a third obelisk. ”

Illiyah stood up, a gleam flashing in her eyes: "Very good, I'll leave to meet them." ”

"Already...... It's too late. ”

A hint of sadness appeared on Tacklau's face: "Ted is too anxious, he has died under the ancient trap......"

"Really?"

Illya was stunned, and the image of a shy boy with a good smile seemed to appear in front of him, and he was silent for a moment: "May magic bless his soul!" ”

"Ilia, there's something I want to say......"

Taclou looked at Ilia and suddenly spoke: "Although I chase knowledge, I also understand that some taboos are not enough ranks, and it is best not to touch them...... For example, this time, the new discovery of the Zerg ruins made me feel very palpitated...... Perhaps, among the Zerg, there are forbidden knowledge, such as 'Ancient Dominators', such as 'gods'! ”

These two words are just a few words that magicians got after vigorously excavating ancient ruins.

"Gods? I love this word, it's synonymous with power and truth...... And we magicians are originally a group of people who chase the truth! ”

Illia replied disapprehantly, "Still, thank you for the reminder, I'll be careful." And also...... As long as the strength is sufficient, the taboo is not a taboo, I understand this very well, perhaps...... You should improve as soon as possible, otherwise, you will never see the wonderful and the truth of this world! ”

She stepped out of the Mage Tower, quickly turning into a small black dot that vanished into the sky.

Looking at this scene, Taclau could only smile bitterly.

"Iliya, you still don't understand how terrible the real 'taboo' is, it's something that even fate has to fear......"

"You're right, though, that I should have taken it in my stride...... Gods, gods! ”

There was confusion in his eyes.

I don't know why, as soon as I heard this name, Taclau longed for it, as if it should be something that he was very familiar with, but then it came to a deep fear!
