"The task we agreed on has been completed. ”

After Luke said this, most of the apprentices were stunned, and some of the apprentices with injuries also forgot their pain, and looked at Luke in a daze, as if they didn't understand the meaning of Luke's words.

As if he had successfully reached this private library, Luke seemed to be in a good mood, and answered the apprentices with a kind of patience that would not normally appear in wizards for apprentices who were not his own students: "This is the cemetery passage of the Spell Tower, and it is the weakest part of the entire Spell Tower, but walking here is already your limit, and the road behind is not for your apprentices to set foot in." ”

Glancing at the apprentices who were quietly listening to him, Luke asked in a very flat tone, "What do you think of the strength of those gargoyle warriors before?"

Hearing this, most of the apprentices thought about it, and for a while no one answered Luke's question.

"Tell me, Morio. Seeing this, Luke directly ordered an apprentice to answer, and this apprentice he named was the strongest apprentice with two magical items that Gehr had found before.

"It's not difficult to deal with alone, but it will be difficult to deal with more than five at the same time, if it weren't for the two adults' Hellfire Elemental in the way, we would probably have casualties here, not just a few minor injuries. "Morio was a large man with a long beard, a thick body, and strong arms thicker than the waist of some female apprentices, and at first glance he looked more like a barbarian warrior than his apprenticeship.

"You're right. Luke nodded, "Although we can break through." But if it weren't for Griezmann bypassing the brass golem and shattering the crystal runes, we would have been damned. Moreover, these stone warriors are self-repairing, and the average warrior will return to its original state after ten hours after a completely broken stone statue. The rune crystals, which are the control center, will also recondense after 24 hours. ”

"No wonder, you and your family have already been here once, and there are still so many gargoyle warriors here, it makes sense according to your current statement. As he spoke, Barnsley looked around the library, "The few books here are the ones you took with you last time." ”

"After the last time I came in, in order to break through the barriers of these stone warriors, my people suffered a lot of losses, especially when it came to the two brass golems on the other side. There were even more casualties, but fortunately it was discovered that this crystal rune was the control center of these constructs, but it was completely dependent on human life to drag the two brass golems before finding the opportunity to shatter the rune. After that, we stayed in this library to rest, but we didn't expect this crystal rune to recondense, and as a result, we were directly blocked here, and it was not easy to break out. But the loss of personnel was too great, and only part of these books could be taken away. As for the place behind this door, I haven't been either. ”

"When the crystal runes recondense, you should be in this library, can't you smash the crystal runes again first?" Barnsley immediately interjected, pointing out the flaws in Luke's words.

"I don't have that opportunity. At the moment when the crystal runes recondensed, everyone was forcibly transferred to another room, which seemed to involve the rune circle of space. The exit to that room is the middle of the hall outside, and once you get out, you will face a siege by gargoyles. Luke replied immediately.

"Can we move all the pieces of these structures to the ground? The fact that these structures can be reborn must have something to do with the environment here. It's likely that there's a large rune circle here, if you move it out. may eliminate their respawn ability. Barnsley thought for a moment and offered his advice.

"I tried what you said. Luke shook his head, "I have taken out the remains of these gargoyle warriors, and even the fragments of rune crystals, but it won't be long before the fragments and remnants taken out will disappear automatically, and there is no way, and then after a long time, this place will return to its original state, except for the things in this library." It's mysterious. ”

"So we have 24 hours left?"

"Yes, we are safe during this time, but once we do, we will probably never be able to get out. Luke nodded, then turned to the other apprentices, "Now that you know the specific situation, I don't know the situation behind the door, but I don't think it's worse than the defense formed by these structures, you can think about it, and give me an answer later." It's up to you to choose whether to quit or move on, but the rest is no longer within the scope of the task, everything can only be done on your own, and no one else can help you. ”

After listening to Luke's words, most of the apprentices leaned together with acquaintances and began to discuss.

Gell looked around, and a man stepped aside, wondering if he should continue the adventure below, while keeping an eye on Luke and Barnsley's side.

For him, the main purpose of this mission is the Lorraine Crystal that he doesn't know exists, but this is the only place he can hope to find in this period of time, and if he misses this time, it is likely that he will not be able to find a way to repair the wounds of his soul for a long time, and he will not be able to stay with the wizard for a long time......

Thinking of this, Gehr had already decided that no matter what, he would always look at the situation behind the door before exiting.

As Gehr weighed the pros and cons of the two options, the conversation between the two wizards, Luke and Barnsley, continued.

"Luke, I'm confused, you seem to be very familiar with this place, not the kind that has been here once or twice, but you know this place as a whole......" Barnsley asked as he looked at Luke, looking at each other with a serious expression.

"My ancestor once participated in the construction of Emler's mausoleum, secretly wrote down a part of his responsibility and left a catalogue, which is where the mausoleum keepers live. "Luke had a look on his face that I knew what you wanted to ask.

"When I get out, I'll read the book. ”

"No problem. Luke simply agreed.

"I can trust your promise. Barnsley nodded.

The two stopped talking.

After waiting for a while, the discussion between the apprentices gradually subsided, and it was clear that they all had their own answers.

Luke no longer asks the apprentices about their choices, but asks the apprentices to come over one by one, asking him to confirm the completion of the task on the academy ID card, and after returning to the academy, the apprentices can use this to go directly to the academy to receive the task reward, and no longer need to ask Luke for commissions.

At the same time, Luke also gave each of the apprentices a clear crystal in the shape of a seed and a small bag of powder. This seed crystal is a one-time key to leave this spare mausoleum, and when used at the location they enter, it will open a spatial rift that can be passed by one person, returning to the swamp where they came. And that bag of powder is the anthelmintic powder used before, and with these two things, the apprentices can safely return the way they came.

Gehr also received these must-haves. At this point, he noticed that several of the apprentices had not moved since the beginning, including that Morio.

"The value of the books here cannot be estimated for the time being due to the lack of the Gentir language family, but as compensation, each of you can enter my private library and choose three books at will. ”

Luke announced the method of payment of the last payment, to the satisfaction of all the apprentices present. After all, the contents of these books are too far away from their apprentices who are not wizards, and it is better to be pragmatic and gain knowledge from Luke's collection of books, which is more conducive to them breaking through the barrier between apprentices and wizards. "Morio, you have someone here to sort out the books. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Morio and the other three apprentices immediately dispersed and began to organize the books on the shelves, neatly placing them in the bags they had prepared to make them easy to carry.

Looking at it this way, Gerton understood that these four apprentices should be the real people Luke had brought with him.

After everything was distributed, Luke stopped talking, turned and walked directly to the door, grabbed the doorknob with his hand, and with a twist and push, the wooden door stepped back, revealing a glimmering passageway.

Without hesitation, Luke and Barnsley walked in.

Watching the two wizards leave the library, except for the four apprentices of Morio, the rest of them started to act according to the plan they had already made.

Gehr didn't think much of it, and walked straight in the direction the two wizards had left.

At this time, Gehr found that there were two other apprentices who had made the same choice as himself, and the other apprentices naturally chose to leave more securely.

Gehr glanced at the two apprentices who were advancing together, and Irene and Gruul, who were more familiar to him, were not among them, so he had no intention of communicating with them further, and began to walk with his head covered.

The two apprentices and Gehr had the same thoughts, and there was no sign of talking, and the three of them walked quietly and quickly through the corridors.

This is not a straight road, but a downward spiral, walking along it, like a constant circle.

As he walked, Gehr, who was in the last position, suddenly kicked a hard object, which was a piece of gravel, so he bent down and picked up a piece and held it in his hand to observe.

Then the glow of the shimmering crystals embedded in the walls of the corridor made Gehr able to see the stone in his hand very clearly.

It is similar to the common gray stone, the surface is slightly shiny, but not very hard, and when you pinch it, you can see the gray-white stone powder spilled down, as if the stone powder is glued together.

I smelled it, and there was no smell either.

"Petrification spells?" Ger remembered an introduction to a spell model he had seen, and all he thought about threw away the stones.

The rustling of footsteps echoed in the corridor.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, the three of them finally saw the end of the road.

It was a room with a circular dome, and in the middle was a circular altar with a diameter of more than ten meters, carved with intricate rune lines, outlined in silver, very ornate.

Luke and Barnsley were standing in front of the altar. (To be continued......)
