Chapter 283: Exploration 3

PS: Thanks for the monthly pass with gravity snapping your fingers

"The legendary Wizard Emperor Emler, the peerless overlord to whom all wizards of the Second Age must kneel and salute!!!How is it possible?Haven't his Spell Towers and Floating City been destroyed in the Battle of the Aria Gate?!!" Erin, who was standing beside Gehr, exclaimed, her whole face was incredulous.

The rest of the apprentices who knew the name Emler also exclaimed in shock.

Even Barnsley, who is a wizard, had a violent flash in his eyes after hearing Luke's words, and his throat unconsciously swallowed, "Luke, what you said is true?

"I didn't believe it at first, but I confirmed it after a long period of investigation. Luke's voice was smug, "Look here. ”

Gell and the others followed Luke's direction, and there was a circular spire, similar to the wizard's spell tower they had seen in the Rift of Aishi, but it had a large footprint, and it looked like a large castle, but it seemed to be much shorter, only four or five stories tall. But if you look closely, you can see that the whole of this round tower is not on the ground, but a large part of it is buried in the ground, and only a part of the ground is exposed.

Luke was referring to a three-meter-high rectangular stele in front of the round tower, grayish-white, surrounded by yellow-green vines and black roots, which looked desolate and ancient, and its edges were already broken with some chips and cracks. There are also some potholes on the surface of the stele.

As they approached the stele with him, they saw a few lines written on it in an unknown language, some of which had been blurred by age, and the rest were only illegible.

"This is the Gentir language of the Second Age, and it roughly says that this is the private territory of Emler, so I can be sure. Luke gestured to the inscription on the stele, "Of course, there are a lot of characters here that have disappeared, I'm only surmising from the ones that remain, but this is probably just one of Emler's spare tombs." According to the texts left behind by the Second Age. Emler concentrated a lot of manpower and material resources during his lifetime. Numerous mausoleum complexes were built in various places, but the war came too suddenly, and Emler and his war fortress were destroyed directly in the war that led to the end of the Second Age, so most of these mausoleums were destroyed and abandoned afterwards. Only some of them have survived hidden in very secret places. This should be one of them. ”

"That makes sense. Barnsley nodded repeatedly. His gaze had become feverish, "It is said that at that time Emlerle collected all the wizarding books of the time, organized them, and placed them in his various tombs. Many of today's spell systems have been developed from spell texts excavated from some of Emler's tombs. Luke, you've really found a good place. ”

"No matter how good the place is, then you have to have a life to enjoy, my family has suffered a lot for this, even if it is not Emler's real mausoleum, it is just a spare, and the danger here is not comparable to ordinary spell towers, so everyone be careful." Luke reminded from the side.

"Understood, so what should we do next?" Barnsley nodded, knowing very well that this was not a place for him to take what he wanted, and that as long as Emler's name was on it, it was not the same as simplicity.

"I'm going to set it up first, so that we don't have time to react if the group withdraws. ”

"Well, I'll help you. ”

With that, Luke and Barnsley walked towards the Round Tower.

As far as they could see, Luke and the others were heading towards the entrance to the Round Tower, a black gate surrounded by an iron fence, now half-open, dark inside, and nothing to be seen.

Seeing the two of them stop outside the gate, and after looking inside, Luke took out his short staff and gently drew a circle in the air.

At the top of the staff, a circle of yellow and green mixed light spots spread out. After the point of light paused in the air for a moment, it quickly flew to the stone slab ground in front of the gate, and actually slowly drilled in, and a complicated rune suddenly appeared on the stone slab, which disappeared after a few flashes.

Barnsley did the same thing, but the target of his spell was the wall outside the gate.

"Alright, follow me. ”

After getting ready, Luke beckoned to the apprentices waiting behind him and continued his way.

At this moment, there was a slight tremor from the ground under his feet, and the ground began to shake, but it only lasted for a few breaths before disappearing.

Although the duration of the tremor was very short, everyone was a person with super spiritual attributes, so they could naturally feel the power contained in it, and they could also be sure that the source of the tremor was coming from within the round tower.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and then all eyes were on Luke.

"What's going on?" Barnsley looked at his companion with a solemn expression.

The others couldn't see Luke's face in the shadow of the hood, only to see him silent for a moment, then just said one word: "Go!" and walked around the tower first, heading towards the rear.

All the apprentices looked at Barnsley, only to see that the wizard only hesitated slightly, his face turned resolute, and he followed Luke directly.

Seeing that the two wizards had set an example, the apprentices no longer hesitated and moved in the direction in which the two wizards were heading.

Gehr followed the apprentice beside him, his gaze slowly sweeping over the round tower, his face thoughtful.

This place that looks like a cemetery occupies an extremely large area, and everyone walked quickly, and after half an hour, they did not see the edge of the cemetery.

Following Luke, they came to a place where dead wood was concentrated, where large blue-black boulders and thick roots were entangled to form a man-high arch, and in the shadow of the arch was a stone wall carved with ancient rough patterns.

Without any delay, Luke groped in the shadows and pulled out a lock ring out of nowhere.

Click......

The stone wall cracked in the middle, split in half, and was pushed open like a door, revealing a dark inner passage.

Luke waved his right hand, and the tip of the staff glowed faintly white, and he stepped into the passage.

Seeing Luke's figure disappear into the darkness, Barnsley did not follow in, but stood at the entrance of the passage and shouted to the apprentices behind him, "All in." ”

The apprentices followed in silence, one by one into the shadows of the passage.

Gell glanced around, moving at the same speed as the apprentice in front of him, and soon walked behind the stone gate.

Once all the apprentices were in the passage, Barnsley uttered a few phrases and gestured with both hands, and black dots of light appeared and scattered in the shadows. Seeing that nothing was missing, Barnsley turned and walked into the passageway, and shortly after he entered, the stone wall was back in place.

This passage is a long, narrow and dark stone corridor, on both sides of the dark walls that can only be walked side by side, there are sometimes asymmetrical torch sockets, the flowing air flow in the stone corridor is a little cold, but not muddy, it seems that the ventilation facilities here are still very complete.

The stairs on the stone corridor lead all the way down, and I don't know how deep it leads, except for the faint light and the sound of footsteps in front of it.

Gehr noticed that there were occasional openings on the edge of the stone corridor, the traces were relatively new, and some small metal fragments could often be found nearby, and sometimes there was a faint smell of blood in the air, although it seemed a little long, Gehr could still clearly distinguish it. After thinking about it for a moment, Gell understood that this should be the traces left by Luke's previous family members.

After walking like this for more than ten minutes, Ger's eyes suddenly opened up, and he had followed the people in front of him into a dimly lit black hall.

It is more appropriate to have a large sports field than a hall, and at first glance, it is empty, and you can't see where the opposite wall is, only layer after layer of darkness.

"Be careful, get ready to fight. Melee personnel stepped forward, and all the spells were ready to go. Before Gell could take in the situation, Luke's loud shouts were heard.

Gehr suddenly noticed that the ground in front of him was littered with fragments of stones, which, judging by the shape of some of the larger stones, had broken from a statue.

Roar!

A roar suddenly swept in from ahead.

Then heavy footsteps came from the darkness of the hall, low and rhythmic, like a heartbeat, interspersed with the sound of crashing stones.

All the apprentices understood that this was the danger Luke was talking about. The six apprentices in charge of melee combat did not hesitate, and all took a few steps forward, standing at the front of the group.

Other apprentices with ranged weapons or ranged attacks began to gather their own tools, and everyone knew that this was not the time to stay in the air.

For a while, the crowd was full of all kinds of halos and runes, red, green, blue, and gold and silver, forming a large area of colorful light and shadow, which was extremely dazzling.

Both Luke and Barnsley took out a small crystal vial the size of their palms, and a misty green halo emanated from it, revealing a burning green flame.

As soon as the two of them let go of their hands, the crystal bottle suddenly fell to the ground in front of them.

Smack!

The crystal bottle fell to the ground with two crunch sounds.

The bottle cap suddenly slammed open, and the two green flames slowly crawled out like life...... (To be continued......)
