Chapter 148: Statue

readx;? The two of them stepped on the gravel from the gap in the broken wall and entered the courtyard. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

In the vestibule of the other courtyard, there is a pool more than 100 meters long and more than 40 meters wide, the walls of the pool have been pried open, and now only a pool of clear water remains, but under the reflection of the blue sky, it still gives people a sense of calm like a mirror.

There are ruined buildings on both sides of the pool, and on the other side of the pool are two small three-story white rock forts with spires, one of which has collapsed and the other is still intact.

Each floor of the small stone fort has a corridor composed of arch beams, columns and stone balustrades, and the architectural style is very light and elegant.

The appearance of the stone castle has natural traces of weathering, and there are also man-made chiseling and damage, which makes the stone castle look like a sense of simplicity and vicissitudes of life that time has passed and the elegance is no longer there.

"It's a shame, you can imagine what a beautiful courtyard it was. Raphael sighed.

Then, he said curiously: "This is all by the water, why did you build such a big pond to escape the heat?"

Luo Danla said: "I have checked the information, this pool was there at the earliest, it may be used to trade with the mermaid clan, although the Oran River is far away from the sea, but after all, it is connected to the sea, and the royal palace is only renovated on the basis of the original shelter." ”

Raphael looked at the water and said, "The water is very clear, and it does connect to the Oran River outside." ”

While chatting, the two of them walked along the path among the messy plants by the pool to the complete small stone fort.

It was then that they noticed that half of the stone fort was built in the wide Γ…land River.

Walking up the steps, on the white rock terrace in front of the fort, you can see a lot of broken statue bases, many vertical white rock flower beds are damaged, there are a lot of gravel on the ground, the gravel has been covered with dark green moss, the flowers and trees on the terrace are still flourishing, just because no one prunes them, they grow very messy.

After entering the stone castle, the rooms inside were all empty, with only four walls, and there was nothing worth noting at all.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the castle as if it had been sacked by the most stingy robber on the continent, Raphael exclaimed, "Oh my God, even the carvings on the walls have been broken and gone, will there really be treasure?"

Rodanna had an innocent look, as if to show that she was stupid, innocent, and forgivable for any mistakes.

Because she didn't have the bottom in her heart, saying that there was a treasure was purely a guess after she checked some information randomly, but she said in her mouth: "Don't worry, Xiao Feifei, listen to me." ”

Rodan Laben didn't intend to find anything in the room, so he took Raphael and walked down the ancient stone steps towards the basement.

The stone staircase to the basement spirals downward, and it is very deep, as if you are going to hell.

After walking for a while, and finally came to the basement, Raphael took out the magic lamp, lit it, and observed the basement.

The basement is simpler, except for a three-meter square pool on the ground, nothing else of note except gravel, which is rubble.

Raphael touched his chin, looked around, and muttered, "Hell, this basement is too deep, is it necessary?"

Rodanra placed several magic lamps on the ground and said, "Maybe it was built to store ice." ”

There is some truth in what Rodanla said. Mages can also use magic to affect water to make ice, but no mage wants to do it.

First, because of the arrogance of the mage, making ice for the nobles just for the nobles to enjoy? This sounds like a servant, and the mage thinks that this practice is lowly and not in line with the status. Even if there are nobles who pay a high price, the mages will not be willing to do it, they would rather spend a lot of energy to enchant equipment to make money.

The second is that for the nobles with territories, digging an ice cellar and letting the servants store ice cubes in the winter will not cost a few dollars, and they will not ask the mage to do this kind of thing that has little value.

So the nobles used ice cellars.

After saying that, Rodara, she took the hammerhead staff and hammered it east and west, looking for a mechanism.

After a while, she didn't notice anything unusual.

The self-confidence finally collapsed completely, and when he walked up to Raphael, Rodan crossed his hands and twisted his fingers, looked at Raphael with extremely innocent eyes, and said, "Maybe in other buildings, but those buildings have collapsed like that, so forget it, right?"

Raphael smiled, rubbed her head and said, "No, maybe you really found something." Don't you think this pool is weird, little Loro?"

When Rodan La heard this, she ignored Raphael's overly intimate actions, and hurriedly ran to the side of the pool to take a look.

The water was very clear, and the walls of the pool could be seen clearly, and she didn't notice anything unusual, so she recited a spell, cast an elemental detection technique, and then said: "It's not strange, well, the water is very clear, it should be connected with the river, not stagnant water." ”

Raphael also walked to the edge of the pool, looked at Rodanla in amazement, and said, "Oh my God, little Loro, haven't you noticed that the water surface of this pool is lower than the bottom of the river outside?

Rodara, in amazement, "yes, why is that? Oh, at least this pool has nothing to do with the river outside." ”

Raphael raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Why? With that, he picked up his clothes.

Rodanla quickly turned around and scolded, "What a little billet. ”

Raphael rolled his eyes.

It's not naked, what's the big deal with a man being shirtless?

"Poof!"

Raphael smashed into the pool like a stone and splashed Rodan with water.

Rodara, who was no longer reserved, turned around and said, "You bastard!

Raphael smiled, floated on the surface of the pool, and took out a helmet with a magic lamp, this helmet also had a crystal eye guard, which was specially used for diving, and the magic light rays on it could be reflected intensively and illuminated very far.

Due to the large number of mercenaries on the continent, alchemists designed and manufactured various expedition equipment. Raphael hadn't had this special helmet before, but after his last expedition, he felt the need to prepare some and bought it while shopping with Emilia.

After putting on the helmet, he dived into the water.

The pool is very deep, I don't know where it leads, this is the first dive after Raphael's spiritual power in the veins is complete, after swimming for a long time, the waterway has gone up, and he actually doesn't feel depressed, which makes him feel it again, spiritual power must also be a kind of energy.

He calculated that if it was half of the waterway at this turn, then he would have had time to swim to the exit, but if it wasn't, it would be miserable.

He wasn't prepared to take any chances, because there was always a way, such as getting a well-sealed leather bag, filling it with air, and then hanging a heavy object on the bag and carrying it down to the water.

It's a pity that the storage space can't carry air, otherwise it would be much simpler.

The storage space is created by the mage using magic arrays and other magic techniques, which is actually equivalent to intercepting a very small space on the main plane like Wella and attaching it to the main plane.

But Wella is a deity, and the sub-plane she creates is completely in a natural cycle with the main plane.

The mage, on the other hand, has limited abilities, and the dimensional laws of the storage space are not only incomplete, but also very rudimentary.

There are two things that do not conform to the laws of storage space, one is living and the other is air.

As for the soul, it can't be entered in the normal state, but the soul has to be shielded with the soul box, and it can be put in if it dodges the law induction of the storage space.

Raphael didn't know any of this, but he also had a similar understanding of storage space.

Because he has space for tattoos, how can he not study and study.

The feeling that the tattoo space gives Raphael is that it is an air leak, of course, this air leak is not physical, but legal.

The leakage of the law cannot be sealed with a sealed container, unless some great mage creates an empty box that seals the air like a soul box, obviously, no mage will be brain-dead to such a point.

This kind of air leakage in the storage space is not leaking out, but there is a soul-like energy leaking into the storage space, and this power will repel all the souls who want to enter the space.

When ordinary people explore the items stored in the storage space, their minds are like pictures that keep flashing, and this picture lasts for a short time every time, as if the spiritual power is cut and dispersed as soon as it enters the storage space.

Raphael's mental power is very unique, he can observe the storage space for a long time, and he can clearly feel that there is a force in the storage space that wants to invade his soul.

As for the air, the storage space cannot be completely attached to the law of the main plane, there is no natural circulation in it, of course there is no air, and the air will disappear without a trace as soon as it enters, as if it has been eaten.

These thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, and Raphael suddenly understood.

This is also the reason why the mage failed to create a long-distance teleportation array on the same plane, as long as there is a storage space that can stay human, then long-distance teleportation can be realized, of course, this kind of teleportation costs a lot of energy, but unfortunately, the dragon's dream is only entered by Luo Lan.

But now is not the time to think about that.

Raphael slid the water, adjusting his body and preparing to turn.

At this moment, the magic lamp of his helmet shook over the top of the waterway wall in front of him, and with the help of his keen eyes and goggles, he was surprised to find that there was a small hole in the top of the wall in the distance.

Since it's not too far, let's go and have a look.

Raphael swam over, close to the hole, and looked at it with the magic lamp.

The fist-sized hole is very long, and the combination of the hole and the pattern of the pond wall makes it difficult to spot.

Raphael immediately took out a round tube from the tattoo space, inserted it into the hole, blew out the water in the tube, and then took a few deep breaths.

This hole, inside is like a sealed jar, the water can't press in, Raphael will go up to breathe, because he sees a magical plant called light-disgusting growing inside.

Just listen to the name, this magical plant, grows in the dark.

After learning a lot about alchemy, Raphael knew that this magical plant had a characteristic: it could absorb water vapor and produce life in the air, which according to the research of necromancers, was exactly what people needed.

After changing his breath, Raphael relented and continued to swim forward, noticing for any small holes in the waterway.

Sure enough, after swimming for a while, another small hole appeared.

It was here that Raphael discovered that the turning point of the first waterway was a trap, and that it was by no means half of the waterway.

The waterway is deliberately designed to be so high and low that people who misjudge it will drown in the waterway.

With the support of the small holes, Raphael continued to swim forward, and after swimming through eight small holes, the front of the waterway was still bottomless.

Let's go back, or Rodara's will be in a hurry.

Raphael turned and swam back.

After swimming for a while, he was surprised to see a small figure struggling in the water in front of him.

Who else could it be but Rodanla? and looking at her flustered appearance, it seemed that she could not hold back.

Raphael observed that there was a hole in the vicinity of the cave, and he quickly swam over, grabbed Rodara, swam to the hole, and gave her the pipe.

Rodara, she was almost scared to death, she saw that Raphael had not come out of the water for so long, so she thought that the waterway was very short, and she dived down, and the consequences were naturally terrible, even if she had energy circulation, and the breath-holding time was more than three times longer than Raphael's, but she still couldn't bear the length of this waterway.

Of course she would, and after taking a few deep breaths, she almost burst into tears, she thought she was dead.

Fortunately, I swam back, otherwise this chick would have drowned. Raphael made a gesture to draw Rodara's attention to the holes in the waterway, and then he took a few breaths of his own before the two of them swam deeper together.

A full hour was spent in diving.

In the meantime, the two also saw a sword stuck in the stone wall of the waterway, and there was a terrible corpse with hollow eye sockets hanging on this sword, this posture, it can be seen that the sword is not the corpse at all, and at least two people have died in the waterway.

When Raphael saw the corpse, not only was he not shocked, but he was overjoyed, there might really be a treasure!

It seems that some people have done it to find a way to dive with air, but it is difficult to grasp how long the air can last.

This corpse shows that it is not that no one has explored this place, but the explorers did not find the ventilation hole in the road wall, and they all died in the waterway, so there is no secret of this pool outside.

The two finally swam out of the waterway and entered an underground river.

Can't wait to swim out of the river, Raphael breathed deeply, the breathing method of the round tube, always makes people feel unsteady, but fortunately, after surfacing the surface of the dark river, there is air here.

It's not surprising that the waterways are designed to be designed in such a way that people can get in and out, and when the exit arrives, there is no air.

Under the flickering of the magic lamp, the two looked around, and this was a natural cave.

The cave was so large that you could feel the flow of air, and the dark river flowed through it, and the water level here should be the same as the pool in the basement of the stone castle.

One side of the river was empty, but on the other side there was an altar.

The two of them swam toward the bank of the river on the other side of the altar.

When she came to the shore, Luo Danla saw that there were some low stone pillars around the altar, and on the stone pillars were ancient oil sealing lamps, so she went to light these lamps, and said proudly: "Little Feifei, I said there are ruins, haha!"

She seemed to have completely forgotten that she had almost smothered in the water in disgrace.

The light and shadow flickered in the cave, and Raphael's magic lamp shone through, and a life-size statue was seen on the altar.

The statue is not gold or wood, it is the image of a Naga woman, the upper body is a human, the face is beautiful, the back of the head has fins and spikes, and the lower body is like a python, but the python body is very short.

The statue has four arms, the lower two arms hold a staff and shield, and the upper two arms hold a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other.

When Raphael saw that Rodanla was about to walk towards the altar, he said, "Wait, what is on the ground?"

The two of them looked at the ground carefully, and the raised stones on the ground in the shadows, under the illumination of the magic lamp, showed their true faces, it was a human corpse!

The corpse pieces did not rot away, but strangely shattered to the ground, looking at the section of the block, it didn't look like it was chopped, the corpse pieces looked hard, otherwise, what was even more strange was that the large pieces of corpses were not covered by any clothing.

It seems that even people have been here, but they have all died in front of the altar.

Raphael was slightly startled and said, "Little Loro, be careful." ”

Luo Danla said: "Your strength is not as strong as mine, I'll investigate first, and you will answer later." ”

Raphael thought of the adventure of the dragon sacrifice hall last time, and immediately took out a roll of rope and threw it to Rodara, saying, "Tie up, I'll go to the water's edge." ”

Luo Danla didn't dare to be careless, tied the rope, and first activated a fire detection technique, an invisible ripple spread out from around her, and the fire elements in the air were slightly stimulated, which was more powerful than the spirit detection technique, if there were enough fire elements around, then even Raphael avoided this elemental feedback type of detection.

Raphael didn't even have time to stop her, he had sensed since the last expedition that it was foolish to use probing in the middle of an expedition.

The waves flickered, and the statue's eyes lit up with two faint green dots, and his lips moved slightly.

The seductive ballad wafts through the cave, and this song is pleasant to the ear, but it seems to be in a trance, and people can't help but listen carefully.

The flame-like hair fluttering, the white and bewitching delicate body dancing, Valery's enthusiasm rushed to her face.

Raphael's mind was in a trance, and he was so excited that Valerie had disappeared in the slightest, and he not only burst into tears, but also tore the clothes on his body with both hands, as if he wanted to feel Valery's warmth.

The Necronomicon Star was slightly shaken and then quickly spun up, and the passionate woman disappeared, and Valery's voice came from her mind: "Raphael, what's wrong with you? Hey, it's the song of the Siren!"

Raphael was shocked, and immediately turned to the Purification, no longer affected by the Siren's Song.

On one side, Rodanla had already ripped off her clothes, her big eyes radiated a strange light, her face flushed, and she opened her arms and ran towards the statue.

Fork, this chick, old and reserved, is so crazy! This delicate plump body is really tempting to run!

"Gollum!" Raphael swallowed, muttering to himself, and ran his pulse, pulling the rope in an attempt to pull Rodan back.
