Episode 5 Exploring Ancient Ruins (Part I)

"I'm dying when I fell!" Ishka pushed herself on her hands.

"Please, you can't land gently!" Xiwei sat up as well.

"It's not that you're too heavy! If I fly alone, I won't do this. Ishka said, retracting her snow-white wings.

"I'm not heavy! I'm slim! Blame yourself for not exercising!"

"What?!I lack exercise?Don't put the blame on me, don't admit that you are heavy!"

"You ......" where the two eyes met, electric light.

"I'm sorry for interjecting......" Ah said weakly.

"Say!" said the two in unison.

"Get out of me first, I'm going to be crushed to death by you. ”

"......" The two of them quickly got up, and Ah Soft reluctantly sat up.

"Teacher Ishka, you're finally back!" Bei Shao walked out of the crowd of onlookers. "Can you tell me why you're missing?"

"This ......" saw Ishka's look bewildered. Xiwei on the side grimaced at her.

"What, what is more important than that you can't even care about your own class?" Bei Shao said.

"Actually, I was detained by the Magic Authority for the night yesterday......" Ishka said, bowing her head.

"What? As a teacher, he was actually arrested and detained?!" Bei Shao's eyes widened.

"Director, I'm reporting that Eska-sensei was detained because she used mass destruction magic in the skies over the city!"

"Cut, you used it first!" Ishka retorted.

"Teacher Eska!" Bei Shao accentuated. "Don't forget who you are, you are a teacher, and when a student makes a mistake, you should stop her, not make a mistake with her. ”

"......" Escarton was speechless.

Eska, who is usually sharp-toothed, will have nothing to say, it seems that it is really a thing to a thing. Ah Soft said with deep emotion on the side.

"I won't say much, when I visit the ruins in the afternoon, I hope you will fulfill your obligations as a class teacher and don't let me down again. After speaking, Bei Shao pushed his gold-wire glasses and walked away in a huff.

At lunchtime, in the dining room, Ishka and Xiwei ignored each other, and the atmosphere at the table was extremely awkward.

"By the way, what are we going to do with this album?" Alice was the first to break the deadlock.

"Burned, thank you. Ah Soft didn't think about it.

"That's not good, if you look at these photos with normal eyes, it's pretty good. Lachlin said as she ate.

"Well, yes, our Ah Soft is already beautiful, plus these photos are taken at a very high level, showing your best demeanor when eating bananas. Ceci said seriously.

"Give me this album!" Xiwei, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke. "I want it so badly!"

"Wait, this is a prop that the boys used to use for crooked paths, so as a teacher, I am obligated to confiscate it. Ishka spoke.

"I think you didn't confiscate it just to use it on the crooked road, right?" Shivi scoffed.

"Don't impose your own purposes on others, okay?" said Escarpi with a non-smirk.

"How could I be such a person!" Xiwei put down the knife and fork in his hand, "I just want to keep some photos for my collection." ”

"You're not going to be so good......"

I saw that the two of them were getting more and more noisy, and they were about to make a big move again.

"In this way, we let Ah Ruan decide who to give his picture to. Xiwei said suddenly.

"Then what's the matter, I'm a teacher, and it's only natural to confiscate this thing. ”

"What, I'm afraid that Ah Soft will choose to give me the album?"

"Afraid, how is it possible, then let Ah Ruan choose, who to give the album to. After speaking, the two cast a fierce gaze at Ah Soft.

It's over, no matter who it's given to, there will be no good life in the future. Thinking like this, Ah Soft suddenly felt very painful.

"Sorry to disturb your dinner. "I saw Lelia coming over. "If you find this album difficult to deal with, I can help you solve it. ”

"Who are you?" Xiwei didn't know the rest of the class very well.

"She's a magician of Class A, and her name is Lelia. Alice said.

"yes, thanks to her today, we were able to win this album from the boys. ”

"What, you want this album too?" Xiwei glanced at her with a sharp gaze.

"Then I'll give it to you!" Soft suddenly took the album and handed it to Lyria's hand.

"Huh, that's it for me?" Lelia was a little surprised.

"Well, I'm sure you'll get rid of it. Ah Ruan said, nodding seriously. She thinks that Lyria, who has always been strict and cold, will definitely throw away her photos, so it is safest to hand them over to her.

"Well, I'll go first......" Lelia held the album in her arms and quickly ran away.

"Ah Soft, who is she?" Xiwei looked unhappy.

"Ah, it's almost time to meet, let's finish eating and leave. Ah Ruan opened the topic......

In the afternoon, they left the Sea of Empty Sea and took a bus to the ancient ruins located southwest of the Great Temple.

When the bus leaves the city, it comes to an open flat area with no grass and no life.

"Why is there such a big gap between here and the city?" asked Ah Soft curiously.

"It is said that this is the place where the final battle was fought in the war, and due to the powerful destructive magic, the ecosystem of this place was destroyed, and no matter how much was used, the ecology of this place could not be restored, so it has always been in such a desolate situation. Ceci sighed as she spoke.

"Look at those boulders!" Lachlin pointed to the massive rocks that appeared in the distance. "The ruins are in the middle of these stones. ”

I saw a few buses skillfully pass through the boulders that were more than a basketball court in diameter and about three stories high, and stopped in front of the entrance to a narrow underground tunnel.

"Below we enter the ancient ruins on foot. Ishka beckoned her classmates to get out of the car.

One by one, parrots flew over and landed on Ishka's shoulder.

"Who is this parrot?" Soft still didn't know.

"This is the guide Parrot, a kind of demon. Lachlin said.

"I'm going to take you on a tour of the ancient ruins. The parrot said suddenly. "Students, please keep up, the internal structure of the ruins is complicated, and it is easy to get lost if you are not careful. So now let's get inside the ancient ruins. Ishka took a step and walked first into the long tunnel.

"First of all, we have to go through a half-kilometer-long corridor with signs at the forks that will lead us to the right path, and in the earliest days there were about 200 traps and traps in this corridor to prevent outsiders from intruding. But now that those mechanisms have been lifted, you can pass with peace of mind. If you look closely, you'll be able to spot some traps and traps. ”

Ah Soft looked around, and the whole tunnel was more than three meters wide and more than two meters high, extending underground all the way, with tight stone walls on both sides, and a dim oil lamp inlaid on it. The light made the entire tunnel look dark and terrifying.

After walking for about ten minutes, they walked into an empty stone chamber. The entire stone chamber is the size of a football field, and when you look up, you can't see the ceiling at all. In the center of the room stood a stone lion as tall as two towers, with a hideous face, as if it would pounce at any moment.

"We are now in the central stone chamber of the ruins, and everyone has seen this huge stone lion, which is a masterpiece of ancient guardian magic. Through a combination of solidified magic and activation, this big creature can be preserved for many years, and once someone touches the mechanism, it will come back to life and attack the intruders. ”

"Isn't this thing dangerous, if you put it here, if it touches the mechanism, it won't attack the tourists who come here!" said one of the students.

"Don't worry, this magic has been dead for a long time, and although the specific reason is unknown, as everyone can see, this big guy is just a big rock now, and he won't come back to life. The parrot said confidently. "So let's move on. ”

So, they rounded the stone lion and walked into the tunnel behind it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have heard the deafening sound of the water, and you can see a huge underground waterfall through this corridor. We will take the cable car down the waterfall, and at the back of the waterfall is the main chamber of the ruins, which is the place where the demon king Radice was sealed. ”

"How high is this waterfall?" Alice, who was sitting on the cable car, looked out the window at the waterfall.

"173 meters. The parrot replied.

"Wow! Is it artificial or natural?"

"It's natural. As the last natural barrier to the ruins, the waterfall has a magic circle in the ground that dispels magic, so no magic can be used, including flying magic. ”

"So if you don't have a cable car, you can't go back?"

"Exactly. ”

As he spoke, the cable car had reached the bottom of the waterfall smoothly. After getting out of the car, the group followed the artificially dug path and detoured to the back of the waterfall to the main chamber of the ruins......
