Chapter 288: Legacy 2
Luke, who was standing in front of the altar, seemed to be preparing something, and ignored the apprentices who followed from behind, while Barnsley, who was standing on the side, turned around and gave a very stern look of warning to the three of them, so that the three apprentices all consciously stood on the periphery of the altar and did not come closer.
Only then did Barnsley nod in satisfaction, turned back, and continued to watch Luke in action next to him.
The altar as a whole looked like two plates stacked on top of each other, the one on top of which was slightly smaller, and Luke and Barnsley were already standing on top of the altar, as if studying something, whispering a few words from time to time.
The three apprentices didn't dare to disturb the two wizards who were busy, so they could only walk around the altar and take in the situation as they turned.
Gehr crouched on the edge of the altar far from the two wizards, carefully observing the characters and lines on it.
In front of him were rows of strange runes, which looked a bit like snake letters, all of which looked the same at first glance, but a closer look revealed subtle differences, such as a greater arc in some places, or a slight difference in length.
This is a symbol commonly used by the Dacourt faction, one of Emler's three major factions, and this line represents the material library. At this moment, a female voice came from the side.
Gehr followed the voice and saw that she was one of the apprentices who had come in with him, and now that her hood had been pulled down, revealing her long, silky brown hair, clean skin, and beautiful neck line, she was a rare beauty.
"Dacourt's faction?" said Gehr, retrieving his memory. I'm sure I've never heard anything like it.
"It's a very powerful wizarding organization in the Second Age, and they are best at the realm of shadow and death, known for their mystery and weirdness. This character, which is based on the snake letter of the Anheim snake, is their logo. In Emler's past, present, and future, the Darcourt faction represents the past, competing with the other two prominent factions, the Fimus and the Gastinpa, and after the Battle of Emler's Gate at the Aria Gate, this faction disappeared and no trace was ever seen again, as if it had never existed. If it weren't for the many accounts of Emler, this faction is mentioned. It is estimated that no one will remember their existence now. ”
"Why do you tell me this?" said Gehr, turning to face the female apprentice, "and how do you know this?"
"It's not just Luke's ancestors who have served His Majesty Emler. My ancestors are also ......" The female apprentice stroked a strand of long hair hanging down from her right ear, revealing the silver studs on the earlobe, which glowed with a faint milky white light, and it was a magical object.
"I'm Dilansina. 5th grader. The purpose is to work with you once. ”
"Why me?" said Gehr, turning his gaze in the other direction, the last male apprentice standing alone. The apprentice's face was a little pale and cold, and he didn't seem to want to make contact with them.
"The Kellaine's family and mine are mortal enemies, and we can't work together. Dilansina shook her head, "The place where the two wizards are going is either the regional energy core or the resource warehouse. It's not something we can get our hands on, but a lab or a material handling room might be able to take our turn. But it's very dangerous here, I'm not sure alone, and I have a reason why I have to go in, so I need a companion. ”
"Griezmann. Gehr introduced himself, "I want Lorraine crystals, I wonder if you can provide any information about this material?"
It was clear that Dilansina knew something about this place, and working with her might be able to gain more valuable information, which was better than if he had stumbled into it.
"Lorraine crystals, this material likes places where necromantic energy particles are concentrated, you are in the right place, the Dacourt faction likes to cultivate similar materials. Dilansina's red lips opened slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
"Then I am honored to work with you. Gell reached out and shook Dilansina's hand.
Just as the two joined forces temporarily, Luke and Barnslina's actions also came to an end.
After chanting an unfamiliar incantation, there was a buzz, and the altar suddenly emitted a loud resonance sound, and in an instant, in the eyes of the three apprentices, the altar actually appeared with an afterimage, and it seemed that the entire space was shaking!
"Get out of the way!" Luke shouted at the three apprentices as he left the altar at some point.
Everyone immediately exited the altar area.
The entire altar began to slowly evaporate a light black mist, some of which looked like blackened water vapor, but in the eyes of the wizards and apprentices present, it was actually composed of necromantic energy particles.
The resonance lasted for less than ten seconds, during which the black mist slowly gathered on the altar, like small snakes, condensed into small black dots around the altar, and then began to merge and expand at a speed visible to the naked eye. By the time the resonance was over, three entryways had appeared above the altar.
The three entrances are more than two meters wide and square in shape, and from the outside, nothing can be seen clearly inside the passages, only a thick darkness.
Syllable!
Luke snapped his fingers, and an orange ball of light appeared in front of him. The ball of light was the size of a fist, but the light that came out was extraordinarily dazzling, and for a while, it gave everyone present the feeling of looking directly at the sun.
"Go!"
Pointing forward, the ball of light flew directly into the middle passage at Luke's will.
As soon as they entered the passage, the ball of light suddenly illuminated a part of the surrounding area, allowing people outside to get a rough view of what was inside.
The floor was flat with a black stone floor, surrounded by gray-white altars and walls, which looked the same as the room they were in, the only difference being that the room in the passage seemed to be about half the size of the one outside.
After Luke illuminated the inside of one of the middle passages, Barnsley also constructed two spell lighting orbs and threw them into the other two passages.
Like the middle passage, the other two passages are also rooms with a similar style to the outside, but the color of the floor tiles is a little different, the one on the left is blue, and the one on the right is red, which looks a little strange.
"The black floor is the core area, the blue is the logistics area with the witchcraft garden at the core, and the red one is the living area......" Dilansina whispered in Gehr's ear.
Gell nodded, and continued to watch the two wizards in silence, not asking where the information she knew came from.
It seems that Luke and Barnsley also know the destination of such a passage, and they quickly made a decision.
"The room with the black floor in the middle belongs to me and Barnsley, don't follow me, you can do whatever you want with the other two. If you have something you don't need, you can come to us when you come out, and I'll give you a very reasonable price......" Luke said loudly as he looked at the three apprentices.
"Yes, Lord Luke. The three apprentices replied in unison.
Seeing that the three apprentices were all interested, Luke looked satisfied, turned around and walked with Barnsley towards the entrance to the black-floored room in the middle.
Seeing that the two wizards didn't pay attention to themselves anymore, the three apprentices were relieved to varying degrees, and their tense bodies also relaxed slightly.
In this society dominated by wizards, power is status, almost all people are selfish in nature, no one will help others for no reason, and the exchange of interests is the mainstream mode of thinking here.
The reason why Luke explained so much to them was actually to ask the three apprentices to go to the place where he and Barnsley were temporarily separated to investigate the situation and find out the danger inside. It doesn't matter if he fails, if he gains something, he can also use hedrons, materials or other valuable things in exchange for the three of them, and he also avoids taking risks himself, but he may pay a little outside of his body, no matter how he loses.
If it weren't for the fact that when the academy signed the mission contract, there was a provision that Luke would have to pay a large amount of additional damage after the apprentice died in the mission, he would have directly driven the apprentices who were not his own to the next level of passage to explore the way, and now that the mission has ended, if the apprentices who followed up were killed or injured, it would be their own business, and it had nothing to do with Luke.
This is also the best result estimated by the three apprentices, and what they are most worried about is that the two wizards will directly "clear the field", but fortunately this situation did not happen.
At this moment, the room suddenly shook again, as if something had exploded underground, and the wail of the earth suddenly swept in. The room here was sturdy, and although it was a little shaky, there were no other problems, but the three entrances began to blur, and countless black gases escaped to the side, like small snakes trying to escape.
"I don't know who made such a big movement inside!The energy here is a little chaotic, and the entrance is almost untenable!" Luke shouted loudly, and then quickly recited a few phrases, several transparent energy beams suddenly flew forward, wrapping around the three entrances, Zrazra's flash of light like electricity flew along the border of the entrance, and immediately stabilized the entrance of the passage, no longer blurred.
"Get in, the passage to enter here can only be opened once every 24 hours. ”
After Luke finished shouting, he and Barnsley rushed into the room with the black floor in the middle, and quickly disappeared inside.
The moment Luke and Barnsley left the sight of the apprentices, another dark shadow swept by and rushed directly into the room with the red floor, it was none other than Keleon, the last apprentice except for Gehr and Dilansina.
Soon, Kellyon's figure also disappeared on the other side of the passage, and at this time, the flow of energy that wrapped around the border of the entrance began to weaken, and the three entrances began to blur again.
"Let's go!"
Gehr and Dilansina didn't hesitate anymore and ran straight to the blue-floored room at the end.
After the two of them passed through the entrance, the energy flow that stabilized the entrance finally dissipated completely, and the entrance shook violently before disappearing, leaving only an empty room. (To be continued......)
