070 "Chief Designer"
The invasion of the Demon Legion is nothing new, and there are many records in the history of the continent.
In ancient times, the Elven Empire was once very prosperous, and its power spread across most continents. However, the elves' dependence on magic has even reached a pathological level, and they eventually open the portal to purgatory, in a vain attempt to absorb the amount of magic from it. But the powerful demon legion that followed led them into the abyss of destruction.
In contrast, the San Setestian region was not as damaged as the Elven Empire, but it was more frequent, with the most recent large-scale invasion occurring a thousand years ago.
The "Mahatma" Sethstian, the heroic leader who led the people against the invasion of the demon legions, also took advantage of the situation to establish an empire named after him in this tormented region after the war.
Therefore, even after nearly a thousand years of cleaning, the ruins of the Demon Legion are still a relatively common sight on the edge of the empire or in relatively inhospitable areas.
"This site is not large, and the damage is quite severe, how can there be something that interests you?" asked Cyril Zema as she led the way, curiously looking back.
Before Allegri could reply, Herseus snorted disdainfully, "What does the little girl know, the damage is relatively serious, which shows that it was attacked fiercely back then, and there are high-level demons like the Queen of Blades who died here, how can it be an ordinary ruins? Besides, the importance of the demon position is not based on the size, but on the depth." β
"Depth?" replied casually to Cyrell, and Allegri asked Herseus curiously.
"Demons don't like sunlight, important buildings are hidden underground, and the terrain in the mountains is very stable and suitable for digging caves below. "Herseus seems to know these things very well.
Allegri understood, and explained to Cyruel as scripted, and immediately received admiring and admiring glances.
It's really hard to have such a teacher and not be knowledgeable.
"Is there any danger in the ruins?" Allegri didn't want to fall somehow in a place like this.
"After all these years, the demons or demon minions inside have almost been wiped out by the hunters," Cyril explained, "but there are so many traps and trigger traps in the depths of the ruins that we lost a few of our men last time we visited, but if it's only on the periphery, it shouldn't be a problem." β
"The sacrificial altar must be in the deepest places," Herseus snorted, "but don't worry, a small demonic site won't bother me." β
"Oh, could it be that you still have research on demon architecture?" Allegri couldn't help but admire, this guy is really an encyclopedic scholar.
"Not really," Herseus shook his head rarely, "but where do those guys living in purgatory know anything about architecture, and I taught them their traps." β
Allegri was dumbfounded, not just an encyclopedia, but also a groundbreaking research.
With such a teacher here, Allegri was much more relieved, but Cyrell saw that Allegri didn't reply for a long time, and said in a slight amazement, "What, Mr. Mage wants to enter the ruins?"
"Don't worry," Allegri reassured her with nonsense, "I know a thing or two about the architecture of demons. β
"You know that?" Cyrell was even more surprised, "Are you really just a mid-level magician? Judging by your knowledge, you should at least be a high-level or even high-level magician." β
Allegri smiled slightly, his demeanor on display.
On the contrary, Herseus was full of dissatisfaction, shouting that the so-called high-level magicians were an insult to himself.
"Then insult," replied Allegri, "you have been discredited for a thousand years, anyway. β
"But what I imagined at the time was that it should be a hundred years old, okay. β
They set out in the evening when they set up camp, and in the middle of the moon, the hill that seemed to be a short distance had not yet arrived.
A man and a woman, walking side by side under the bright moonlight, this kind of picture has a kind of charm no matter how you imagine it.
But Allegri's heart didn't even have the slightest thought, and he was so calm that he even wondered.
He imagined that if it was Aithea who was walking with him, he would have been scratching his ears and cheeks.
If Cyril is not pretty, her charm and wildness are more seductive than the quiet and pretty Althea, but the latter clearly makes him more impulsive.
I don't know how those old friends are doing now, but Allegri can't help but chuckle at the thought of Dios tapping his shield and Illo playing his longbow, and then sighs softly.
How would Althea feel when she heard the news of her death?
It's just an ordinary love triangle, but it feels so cumbersome to deal with. Allegri was a little afraid, which may be one of the reasons why he was not in a hurry to rush back.
He broke free from his thoughts, and when he turned his head, he saw that Cyruel was also silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
A person who needs to cultivate demonic martial arts to advance to a high level, even if he is so wanton on the surface, he has a secret that he is unwilling to tell.
It's a pity that now he has no mood to explore.
It was a moonlit night, and by the time they reached the demon ruins, they could clearly make out the way.
The ruins are located in a small valley full of ruined walls and black boulders.
"Go to the innermost wall, where there should be the entrance to the cave. Herseus commanded with ease.
Under his direction, Allegri and Cyrul were tied to their horses and navigated through the ruined walls and masonry.
The towering mountain obscured some of the moonlight, and after consulting Herseus, Allegri unleashed an illumination spell.
A small ball of light emitting a faint white light hovered in his hand, and he quickly found the entrance to the cave that entered the interior of the mountain.
"Demons don't want to think about anything other than to think of ways to wreak havoc," Herseus commented, "All the demon bases, the layout of the buildings is pretty much the same, and there's nothing new at all." β
"And the chief architect of this pattern is the great teacher Herseus?" Allegri laughed.
"Ha Luha, you're getting better at talking. β
"Teacher, what should I do next?" Allegri interrupted his boasting, getting down to business.
"You are so, so, so......" Herseus commanded, and Allegri did as he did.
It's a bit like looking at the guide to explore the dungeon.
The two of them walked through the wide, towering corridors, following Herseus's instructions, passing through several corners and stone halls without incident, barely triggering any traps.
Having explored the demonic ruins, Cyrel looked at Allegri's gaze in increasing amazement. In Allegri's mind, the smug look on Herseus's face grew thicker and thicker, like sticky cream that could not be dissolved.
"How's that?" said the old mage proudly, "I deserve the name of the chief designer of the demon building. β
Allegri nodded in acquiescence and followed his instructions to activate a seemingly simple smoke trap.
"This little trigger mechanism is very simple, it is only used as a warning," Herseus laughed lightly, "and poke it far away with a small wooden stickβ"
"Bang!"
