Chapter 1493: The second and third floors of the mausoleum
Carrying the spar lamp, I came to the place where the pottery jar was broken before, it turned out that this tomb was not just an empty hall, and several stone chamber compartments appeared in the right area, and the black gas in the compartment was filled, and the black poisonous juice that had been sprinkled on the ground was still volatilizing. Ice Childish Evil used the wind element to blow away the black gas that kept coming out, and he didn't dare to go any further, and after shooting the fireball and shining it in, he could vaguely see that there were still a few large clay jars in the stone room that had not been broken, and I didn't know if the corpse soldiers in it had not woken up, or had not woken up.
After a cursory look, there was nothing to see, the old-fashioned copper oil lamps hanging on the wall were not lit, there were messy things scattered everywhere, and the array of arrows stuck in the holes in the wall were rusted to the point that they were not in shape. Alice dodged a little with the ice childishness, a little disappointed, and said in a low voice: "The tomb of Glonas is also too shabby, there is nothing in the tomb, only the ground is full of wolves, and no gold and silver treasures have been seen. ”
They haven't finished looking at the mausoleum yet, but judging from the volume of this cobblestone mountain, this tomb will not be so big, and after turning around for a while, they haven't seen anything valuable, and it really doesn't look like the situation that a king's mausoleum should have.
Bing Zhi said: "The mausoleum that GLONAS has worked so hard to build will definitely not have only this layer, this should only be the first layer on the surface of the mausoleum, and the real tomb should be below." ”
Alice nodded, she also thought of this, but her mouth was bored, and she couldn't help but want to complain.
Considering the safety concerns, the Ice Evil decided to search the first layer as a whole to avoid any unpredictable dangers after they descended underground, which would not be good.
Perhaps the people who visited here thirty years ago were the same as Bingzhi's evil thoughts. Many corners of the first floor have been cleaned, and all the local mechanisms they walked through have been destroyed, and it can be seen that some of them are skilled in machine tools, and many of the traps to prevent tomb robberies have been destroyed before they can be used.
Seeing these ice and evil bottoms, he was relieved, he didn't understand the mechanism, and with others opening the way, at least the safety was greatly guaranteed.
Behind the center of the tomb were seven tall stone statues, all of which were at the bottom of the square pedestal, and there were vicious monsters squatting on them, but they had all been shattered, and it was impossible to tell what they were. This kind of thing is most common in mausoleums. Bing Zhixiao took a moment to check. After confirming that the stone statue was correct, he continued to go deeper.
There is a protruding stone entrance behind the statue, and the entrance is doorless, which is a passage to the lower level. The channel is not large. Two people can pass side by side. It would be a bit difficult for the silver moonlight dragon to fly down. You can only climb and walk down stairs.
The distance from the staircase to the second floor is not deep, only a corner is reached, and this level is the same as the previous one. It's still dark, but the difference on the upper floor is that the whole space is in a corridor-like pattern, like an intestine, you can only walk back and forth along the pathway, the passage is full of mechanisms and magic-driven stone figurines, and on both sides are tall stone walls, all made of special materials. Bing Zhiyi has seen related articles in some books, which mention that many of the walls and stones in ancient tombs are made of special recipes, which are not only harder than steel, but also invulnerable to water and fire, and I think it is this kind of wall.
However, the stone figurines and mechanisms in the passage were all destroyed, and the two of them came to the entrance of the third layer in danger.
The entrance to the third floor is the same as the first floor, there is a stone door without a door, there are stone steps inside the door, the stone steps extend downward in a square circle, but it is deeper than the stone steps in the middle of the first and second floors, there are two corners, and when you pass the first corner, there is a stone door that is polished by a whole boulder and blocked vertically.
There was a stone mechanism in the shape of a wolf's head next to the stone door, and when it was twisted, the door opened, but the situation behind the door was very different. Bing Zhixiao found that the stone walls on both sides, including stone steps, were obviously much finer than the upper two floors, and the upper two floors were still tomb chambers made of bare square bricks.
But behind this stone door, the walls on both sides of the wall are carefully painted and skinned, and the walls are smooth and flat, and painted with vermilion grid-like veins. The bricks on the ground have also been carefully carved to create a pattern, and a long carpet has been laid down in the middle, until it is only here that you realize that you have entered the real tomb.
After a few more steps, we reached the second corner, when a petal-shaped disc made of solid gold and silver appeared on the left wall. The disc is a gold-leaf honeysuckle, with a diameter of about fifty centimeters, embedded in the wall, and there is a not-so-complicated magic array pattern in the plate, and the pattern spreads from the petals and leaf tips to the surroundings, and there is a card slot in the middle of the honeysuckle plate, which is known at a glance to be placed on the magic crystal.
Bing Zhiye carefully discerned, and saw that this magic array should be used for lighting, so he chose a second-level light magic crystal with a size similar to the card slot from the spar he brought with him and put it in, and injected a little magic power, only to see the magic pattern line hidden on the magic energy wall of the light crystal flowing into the depths of the tomb, and then the tomb below gradually lit up.
Alice breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "Great, I don't have to go in the dark anymore." ”
The white light shone from the bottom of the stone steps, and Ice Evil and Alice each extinguished the magic spar lamp in their hands, this spar lamp was not large, and could be tucked into a small bag with a buckle on the belt, and then continued to walk down.
When they reached the third chamber, a bright light shone overhead, illuminating the surroundings.
"Wow, it's really different from the above. It's like a tomb, it's a room for a wealthy family. Alice looked around, the light green walls, the wooden furniture painted pink and light yellow, the tables and chairs, the teacups and utensils, and the large pendulum clock, but the clock had long since stopped, but the color was painted a beautiful milky white. The floor is covered with a fine carpet with polished marble floors, tables with trinkets, ornaments, vases, etc., and oil paintings on the walls. It is not at all like the style of an underground mausoleum, but more like a place for the living to live.
The only discord was that there were traces of a fight, the table had a broken leg and fell to the ground, and the fine porcelain cups and tea sets used had been overturned, and some had been shattered, as if they had been trampled by a heavy object, because the carpet still had footprints from the past. And what hasn't been knocked over has also been flipped. In addition, there are many broken stone figurines, which are very intricately made and lifelike, and their bodies are engraved with intricate magical texts and formation patterns, apparently the 'guards' of the mausoleum. Surprisingly, however, there are no traps here, as there are no signs of them being destroyed in the room.
In addition, although this tomb is large, it is far less than the space of the upper two floors, and there is a room in front of it to the left and right, but it is still dark. Bing Zhiye first went to the room on the right to take a look, there was also a metal flower plate of gold leaves and silver flowers on the wall, and after he embedded a first-class spar, the room lit up.
At this time, Bing Zhiye carefully observed the lamps in the room, those lamps were all cast of very transparent gemstones, like glass, but they were not magic crystals that glowed by themselves, but artificial gems that would glow after passing through elemental magic. This kind of synthetic ice is also used by modern people, but it is rarely used, because the synthesis cost of this gemstone alone is not a small amount.
This room has a door, but the door is the beginning, the size of the room is not as large as the middle one, the horizontal and vertical are only ten and fifteen meters, and the walls are also painted white, but the room is empty, there is nothing, that is, there is no furniture, and there are no placements, which makes Bing Zhixiao feel very strange. He looked around the empty room, and found that the dust on the floor was full of messy footprints, as well as marks from heavy objects, as well as marks on the walls that resembled chests and other things. These things that were once placed here were obviously moved.
Later, he found an emerald with a large fingernail behind the door, which was supposed to be a broken corner, but it was of very high quality, not a cheap gem. Seeing these childish frowns slightly, this empty room should be a treasure room, and Lovely Liss said that the Sudmites, the Desert Bandits, and Kopochin came here in vain, and never came here again. At that time, there were only a few of them, and judging from the scale of the objects placed here, it was impossible for them to be able to move so many things, even if there were space mages among them, they would not be able to do it.
Because the alien space that a magician can support with magic is limited, the size of the space depends on the level of spatial magic and the strength of the magic. The larger the expanded space, the more things are stored, and the higher the level and level of magic that needs to support this space, the greater the consumption of magic power, and it is increasing geometrically. Once the space is too large and the strength is not enough, it will cause the space to collapse, which will hurt the mage itself, and even endanger his life.
And with the Ice Childish Evil now, even if he gets the power of Zafino, he can only maintain about four cubic meters, and if he supports six cubic meters at most, there will be a danger of collapse. Of course, this is also due to the fact that his spatial magic is really ordinary. But judging from the size of this tomb and the traces left on the ground, those treasures are not a few cubes, even if they bring space treasures, but the capacity of space treasures is very limited, and it is impossible to take away so many things at once, unless each of them is a space magician.
What's more, Alice said that after those people failed to enter the tomb for the first time, the second time there were only desert robbers and a Sudmithite, and the two of them were only deep, and with Amanda's short memory, it was impossible for those people to take the belongings here. Unless there's only one possibility, and that's someone else has been there.
Alice's thoughts now are exactly the same as those of Ice Childish, the people who have come to this tomb are definitely not only them and the group from thirty years ago, but at least a third group of people have been here, so in this case, there is a great possibility that this tomb has been stolen!
