Chapter 117: Ruins
After entering the mountain for a while, it is estimated that the people on the plain could not see this place, Lorain was impatient, she hated these bushes so much that she turned into a dragon and flew with the two of them, and before long they reached the vicinity of the obelisk-like hill, Loren flew around the hill twice and stopped at the top of the hill.
The trek was all the trouble, except that Raphael muttered to himself that if anyone was staring at him, he would be as eye-catching as an arrow.
There are no trees on the top of the mountain, but it is much easier for them to explore, against the already cold mountain wind, Raphael overlooks the yellow and green mountain forest below the mountain, just circled the mountain twice, really didn't find anything, this time it was a careful observation.
There is nothing special about this mountain, except that it is covered with various vegetation on three sides, and the relatively deserted north side, the mountain pattern is very clear, and there is no trace of the mechanism.
Raphael stared at the large waterhole at the foot of the mountain to the north, and felt that if there were any ruins, then the entrance could only be this large waterhole.
Lorain carried the two of them again, flew around the mountain, and when he saw a suspicious trace, he approached, but there was nothing new to discover.
Lorain was dejected, and Emilia could only caress Loraine's neck to comfort her, and the last three of them could only land next to the big pool.
There was a burst of chickens and dogs, and all the monsters that came to drink water ran away.
The pool is about a mile in circumference, it is still quite large, Raphael looked at the pool and found that the water was very clear, it was estimated that together with the underground dark river, he thought about it, and felt that there should be no dangerous demonic beasts in the water, otherwise, those low-level demonic beasts would not dare to come here to drink.
Raphael shook the necromantic vein and released a creature detection technique, and now his magic power has become much stronger, and after a wave of detection techniques, there is indeed no large vitality fluctuation under the water.
Emilia was also probing, and she was even more relieved to see Raphael nodding.
Emilia's dark system is dominated by the power of destruction, which is similar to the necromantic system, but it is far less sensitive than the necromantic system's detection technique. Necromancy doesn't just produce the power of destruction.
Although the water is clear and the light is bright, the water is also very deep, and you have to dive in to see what is going on underneath.
Lorain became human, and the three of them slipped into the icy pool water together and dived.
Raphael relies on the pulse of the bucket, but he is not afraid of the cold, but he does not hold his breath as long as Loren and Emilia, who have energy circulation in their bodies and can dive for a long time.
Running the fighting veins, naturally in a slight state of purity, Raphael suddenly found that there were strange fluctuations similar to spiritual power under the pool, these fluctuations were very subtle and subtle, as if trying to interfere with his spirit, and it was precisely because of this that he discovered it.
Since Raphael had to ventilate a lot, he kept coming out of the water, and after many times, he found that Lorain and Emilia had never been near a body of water.
Raphael was surprised, and when Lorraine probed again, he exclaimed, "Lorraine, you look south." ”
Lorain nodded and dived again.
After a while, Raphael floated a few times and saw Loren again, but she still didn't lean south.
Raphael shouted again, "Little Loraine, go and look for it in the south." ”
Loren exclaimed in confusion, "I've found the south." ”
Raphael was not surprised when he heard this, but he was overjoyed, and he was afraid that there would be no situation at all, so he immediately shouted: "Don't dive, call Amilia, we will go ashore, and then we will look to the south." ”
Naturally, Lorraine's flight made it easy for the people who followed him, and the people in the jungle on both sides of the pool all looked at Raphael excitedly, only Glori's big bright silver eyes were slightly misty, staring at Raphael's figure in annoyance.
Raphael told Emilia to watch from the shore in case there was anything she could do, and he followed Loren into the water.
After swimming for a while, he found that Loran had turned in one direction and swam to the bottom of the water on the other side, so he hurriedly grabbed Loren's little feet.
Loran looked back in a daze, with some puzzlement in his eyes, what does Raphael want to do? Could it be that this guy wants to tease himself in the water?
Raphael smiled and grabbed along Loraine's body.
Loraine's little face was so red that she could boil all the water nearby.
Raphael looked at her delicate and cute appearance, couldn't help but kiss her, signaled, and took her out of the water, saying: "Honey, it's not right down there, wait a minute, you follow me, you are unconsciously going around in circles under the water." ”
Loren was startled, she had just been completely unaware.
Emilia was slightly excited, the fool also knew that there was a situation under the water, she also slipped into the water, and said: "There won't be any powerful monsters around here, let's go down together this time, and take care of it." ”
Raphael looked around, thinking that after Loran had just flown around, it was indeed impossible for any magical beasts to come here, so he nodded.
The Pope was a master, and Raphael was still very attentive to his back when he came, but he didn't notice anyone following him.
The three of them dived into the water again, Raphael swimming in front of him, and he swam straight, but Loren and Emilia felt that Raphael was always turning around, which was very strange.
After a while, the three of them finally swam to the bottom of the pool, and saw that there were rows of obelisk-shaped stones the size of a half-body armor at the bottom of the water, which were arranged in a mysterious manner, and in the middle of the tower array, there was a relatively large hemispherical low tower.
Emilia released a detection technique and found that these obelisk stones could reflect a certain amount of spiritual power, and then these spiritual powers were concentrated in a magic circle in the middle of the tower array.
After this magic circle is activated, the entire tower array will release obscure spiritual fluctuations, and now that they are closer, they can feel this fluctuation slightly, and this fluctuation can give people an illusion.
Raphael also unleashed a detection technique, sensing that each small tower could automatically absorb and store necromantic magic, and it was these necromantic magic that made this tower array play an illusionary role.
Every time someone uses their spiritual power to probe the bottom of the water, this tower formation will be activated, and as a cultivator, if they want to enter a strange water, will they not need to use the detection technique? This design is very cunning.
Loran also looked at it in amazement, she could of course find out the mystery of the small tower when she got close, but she didn't care about it, these towers didn't pose any other threat, so she pointed to the largest round tower in the middle of the tower group.
Raphael swam close to the round tower and looked closely, and found that the tower should have a lot of magic circles and traps, but now they have long since decayed, and the magic crystals of the trap circle have long been consumed, so he made a striking gesture to Lorain.
When Loran saw it, he immediately kicked the tower wall excitedly.
In the rapid flow of water, the tower wall was shattered like an eggshell, and after the tower wall of this tower was destroyed, the illusion tower array was missing a key node, losing its effectiveness, and the vague spiritual fluctuations disappeared.
Lorrain swam in, with Raphael and Emilia following closely behind.
The round tower is about ten square meters, and at a glance you can see a passage with arch beams on the ground in the middle.
When Raphael saw it, he had to turn back to the water to ventilate, although the fighting vein also had an effect, but it was much worse than the two women with energy support.
Luo Lan and the others also followed, and when they reached the water, Luo Lan said: "I hold my breath for the longest time, I'll go and investigate first, if the waterway is enough for us to ventilate Raphael, then we will go in together, if not, we will find a way." After saying that, she didn't wait for Raphael to agree, and dived.
Raphael hurriedly shouted, "Watch out!" Unfortunately, Loren couldn't hear it, and Loren was swimming too fast at full speed, and he didn't want to catch up.
Emilia said: "Don't worry, as long as it is still in the water, then if there is a mechanism in the waterway, it is basically the same as the mechanism of the round tower, and it is unlikely that it will be intact." ”
Raphael thought about it too, so he waited patiently.
After a while, Luo Lan came out of the water and said happily: "It should be no problem, there is no mechanism in the waterway, it is dark inside, I didn't look at it, and I came back." ”
The three of them prepared and dived again, this time Raphael hooked Loraine by the neck and asked her to swim with her.
After swimming into a large section of the passage of the round tower, Raphael could not hold back.
Emilia smiled and grabbed him, kissed him on the mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them continued to dive, and the passage turned a corner in the ground, and then extended up the side of the mountain, which was very long.
Emilia took out a magic lamp, and when she turned the corner, the water became extremely dark.
There was really no mechanism in the passage, and during this time, Loren gave Raphael another breath, and the three of them could swim out of the passage with their breath closed.
After poking out of the water, except for the light of the magic lamp, looking into the passage, it was pitch black, but you could feel the air flowing slightly in the darkness, and it was obvious that there were vents in the ruins.
Lorain hadn't looked closely at it last time, she happily hugged Emilia and cheered, this must be the ruins.
Raphael is also excited, exploring treasures, which always makes people's blood boil.
The three of them were excited for a while before they stabilized their emotions and climbed ashore.
Emilia took out three mercenary bags, mercenary bags have been popular in the mainland for I don't know how many years, the design is naturally more and more reasonable, with buckles, small shelves, net bags, etc., which can put down and fix a lot of exploration tools: ropes, magic lamp helmets, crossbow arrows, multi-functional mercenary shovels, etc.
Magic lamps have very low requirements for magic crystals, most of them use finely crushed inferior magic crystals as energy sources, and they can be used for a long time, and the price is relatively inexpensive, so they are widely used.
All three of them carried mercenary bags and put on magic lamp helmets to activate the small magic circle on them.
They were faced with a stone passage, and at the top of the passage were two large stone doors, which were impossible to see in the dark.
The four walls of the passage are exquisitely carved, the upper and lower walls are just floral patterns and mixed with a lot of magic patterns, and the two sides are depicted with many legends, but the colors on the carvings have fallen off with a long time, and they look colorful and mixed.
Raphael looked at the magic patterns on the upper and lower walls, and said, "This passage has mechanisms, unlike in the water, these mechanisms should still work. ”
Emilia also looked up and down, especially the layout of the ground, behind a section of textured slate, there was a blank area, no matter how you looked at it, there was a sinister killing intention.
Emilia nodded, and felt that Raphael was right, she was very well prepared, took out a few spherical heavy stones from the spatial ring, and placed them beside Lorain.
Heavy stone, which contains mixed earth elements, except for being very heavy, there is nothing special, and the large piece of the head has more than 200 catties, which is very suitable for testing.
There were holes dug in the heavy stone to make it easy to grasp, and Loren grabbed the heavy stone and rolled into the passage.
Passing through the cobblestone, the walls of the passage only emitted some creaking echoes, which showed that the mechanism in the passage still lost its effect, and at the same time, the magic pattern on the top of the passage fluctuated, releasing some magic.
These spells are available in all genres, and they are the fastest single low-level spells, but they are extremely powerful, which is also due to the passage of time.
If the magic circle is a bottle, the stored magic power is water, and high-grade magic storage materials may still be useful, but if the materials used to build the magic circle are not good enough, it will be like the bottle mouth is blocked, which means that the mechanism is invalid.
However, the targets of these spells are very peculiar, they are all textured stone slabs separated from the ground, and they are concentrated on the empty slate area.
After Luo Lan threw several round balls in a row, the magic power became smaller and smaller, she suddenly smiled, and said: "No problem, the magic circle materials of these mechanisms are also wasted, and the resonance can't be restored, and this little magic element can't even hurt ordinary people." ”
Raphael said: "Wait, how do I think that the area of these textured slabs has fluctuations like spiritual power." ”
Luo Lan was anxious to find the treasure, and said, "What does it matter? At most, like the phantom array at the entrance, we can see if there is anything abnormal if we have walked one by one." ”
Raphael thought about it and agreed.
Emilia took out the rope and tied it around everyone's waist, and said, "I'll come first, if the situation is not right, Lorain will quickly pull me out, Raphael, you release the magic quickly, help me prepare a single bone shield." ”
Raphael agreed, and his mind determined a necromantic vein, ready to rescue at any time.
Emilia stepped into the area of the textured slate with a gentle step, her face immediately filled with peace, and then a slight smile appeared.
Raphael stood beside her, could still see her face, didn't notice anything unusual, thought she thought it was okay, so she smiled.
Emilia seemed to walk forward naturally.
At this time, Raphael could no longer see her side face, and he naturally did not notice that Emilia's face began to distort, and various expressions such as hideous, cheerful, sad, gloomy, annoyed, and hatred emerged from Emilia's face one by one.
Emilia walked to the empty space, froze for a moment, seemed to be in a great mood, and then walked towards the next area with a very happy look.
At this time, the rope had been straightened, and Luo Lan saw that it was okay, so he followed in.
Raphael, however, always felt that something was wrong, because Emilia paused for a moment, but instead of turning around to say hello, he shouted, "Amilia, is it all right?"
Now, he realized that something was wrong, and Emilia and Loren didn't react!
Raphael hurriedly pulled the rope and tried to pull Loren out.
But Loren walked so unhesitatingly and indomitable, where can Raphael's strength be compared?
Raphael couldn't pull at all, he was anxious, desperately pulling the rope.
This kind of wrestling obviously has two results, one is to pull others, and the other is to be driven by others.
In the exertion, Raphael broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, but he was led by Luo Lan step by step to approach the texture area, he was about to pull off the slipknot of the rope, loosen the rope and find a way, but Luo Lan just took a step forward and pulled him into the area of the texture slate.
Raphael fell into a darkness, but this darkness was not oppressive, but full of warmth.
A soft light appeared in the haze, and Raphael opened his eyes, and his mother's gentle and beautiful face was seen.
It's just that this is not the face he remembers!
Raphael walked forward step by step,
The Necronomicon trembled and lasted for a few moments before finally turning slightly.
Raphael gritted his teeth and crouched in the icy snow, armed with a sharp blade, trying to assassinate the Lord, a demonic lord who had destroyed his poor but beautiful home.
Raphael's heart beat violently as he watched the walking cavalry approach, and at that moment, he suddenly felt that everything around him was unreal.
Raphael came to his senses, but he still gritted his teeth, not resentful of the illusory lord, but resentful of the bastard who set up this illusion trap.
One step is a year, Raphael's Purity runs spontaneously, just because the soul has been invaded, it automatically resists, at first this invasion is not strong, and the resistance of the Necromantic Star is very weak, and when he really sobers up, more than ten years have passed in the dream.
Raphael quickly cleared his mind, fully awakened, and was no longer affected by this terrifying phantom array.
With a slam of his head, he seemed to throw out the things in his dream, for Raphael's surname had always been quite bold.
If there is no such thing, why cling?
Skimming over the hideous and illusory faces, Raphael lunged at Loraine's legs, tripping her and pulling Emilia back with a sharp pull on the rope.
Emilia was nearing the end of the textured slate, and there was no such slab in the passage any further, and she seemed to be very weak at this point, but was pulled by Raphael at once.
Raphael immediately picked up his speed and ran out of the phantom array, pulling Emilia and Lorain all the way to his side, he already knew the horror of this phantom array.
If the magic of the passage circle is still strong, the magic mechanism will cooperate with the phantom circle to attack the empty space.
People who are immersed in the illusion walk into those empty spaces, and the illusion is right in the fight with the enemy. When the magic trap begins to attack, those who are immersed in the illusion will see a powerful enemy that unexpectedly appears.
The people in the illusion will be caught off guard and unknowingly, killing the enemies who appear unexpectedly.
If the person in the illusion is lucky enough not to die, then due to the illusion's habitual effect, the person will step into the next area.
