"Oh, I'm like this now, of course I can't accompany you to meet those little guys, but this thing can still help you win their trust. ”

As he said this, Helast's black robe pulled out a piece of paper, drew a rune on it, and then casually tossed it to Penny.

Now, having passed through the tunnel indicated by Helast, Penny is going to take the rune to the keepers of the ruins.

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the two grave keepers, Penny began to wonder if Old Man Hylast was deliberately playing tricks on him.

According to his understanding of this unobtrusive former ** master, the possibility of this kind of thing happening is extremely great, in fact, the two grave guards really don't know what this wizard who strangely appeared at the entrance of the mist enchantment showed them was.

Even if they looked closely, they could only see that it was a clean piece of parchment, with a rune with crude strokes drawn on it, and they could not see the specific meaning at all.

They really hadn't seen anything like it.

After a brief moment of astonishment, their wary gaze returned to the wizard.

Compared to this completely incomprehensible note, this intruder is the more noteworthy thing.

Why was he able to enter this secret passage where only the grave keepers knew the location?

Doesn't seem to be an ordinary intruder.

The uncle and nephew clenched their respective weapons and were secretly on guard.

The reaction of the two made Penny feel that Hyrust was indeed an unreliable fellow, but luckily he still had a bright brain, and he threw the piece of paper at the hands of the mage and landed at the feet of the two grave keepers.

Passing it over directly will only arouse unnecessary suspicion, and Penny is well aware that in this case, this similar rude method will avoid a greater misunderstanding: "Oh, this is a token of an acquaintance, if you don't know each other, you can take it back and give it to your head." ”

The two grave keepers glanced at the parchment beneath their feet and looked at each other, the elder casting a spell on the ground, as if to determine if there was any dangerous spell attached to the parchment, while the young man pulled out two short knives and stood in front of Penny as if he were facing a great enemy.

This posture made the wizard feel a little funny, with his current strength and status, he was already a big figure in the Faeron Continent, and the general adventuring team and mercenary corps had to be respectful when facing him, let alone a fledgling young man?

However, he did not intend to use force, and to contact these grave keepers, but to seek a peaceful solution, you know, this is a considerable force, and with the current state of Helast, it is already difficult to control the grave keepers as before, and if Penny's actions are appropriate, this force will fall into his hands in the future.

At this time, the elder also finished the inspection, and did not find any traces of magic on the piece of paper, but he did not dare to touch it easily, he very conservatively copied the runes on the parchment on a piece of clothing, and then vigilantly retreated towards the black mist behind: "Stranger, until we confirm your identity, we can only ask you to stay here." ”

He wasn't sure if the young wizard was an intruder or not, but there were so few outsiders who could find this secret door, even if it was an outside ally who regularly delivered supplies to the mountains, rarely came in and out of it.

Therefore, he felt compelled to show the intruder the token to the elders of the clan.

"Don't play tricks. "As he retreated into the black mist, the young man did not forget to warn Penny.

The wizard simply bowed his head and returned his gaze to the black mist.

He could tell that this was a mystical enchantment under a character with extremely powerful magic.

Although the information captured by the sight told Penny that the lock was very old, the effect was still strong, and it would be more difficult for him to get out on his own if he broke in.

So without getting a reply from the two locals, he thought the best thing to do was to wait here.

Although he was somewhat skeptical about the role of Hylast's rune, he didn't have any other good way to do it right now.

He had thought it out before coming, and the people of the Yin and the Dragon Witch Cult had their eyes on this ruin, and the Apostle of the Deep Imasca who had always been secretive was active, and with the meager strength of the Tomb Keeper, it would be difficult to resist these powerful enemies.

According to Hylast's estimate, if these people were to come to the door together, the loss of the ruins would be almost inevitable.

It has the chains of the ancient empire, but it can't withstand the infestation of a large group of enemies who are both elects and demigods.

As a human who still lives in Faeron, Penny also believes that it is necessary to try to keep the ancient evil from appearing, so he needs to take some action, and he has ulterior motives - it is of course great to be able to get the effectiveness of these grave keepers.

And the female madman of Yin Soul City and the people of the Dragon Witch Sect have already formed a grudge with him that is difficult to resolve, and with this rare opportunity, he naturally wants to occupy a favorable position and seek an opportunity to profit from it.

Of course, the wizard is not unaware of his own catties, although he has a relatively strong power in the eyes of the majority of Faeron people, maybe it is more than enough to deal with the bad women of Yin Soul City, but he is still a little unsightly in the face of the leader of the Dragon Witch Sect, so he informed Ilminster in advance, and now, the voters of the goddess are estimated to have reached the vicinity of the mountain range.

Although Ilminster was notified, Penny did not reveal his relationship with the Guardians of the Ruins, he knew very well that if these secrets were revealed to the Chosen Ones of the Goddess of Magic, the trouble would be endless in the future, and he hoped that the power of the Chosen Ones of the Goddess would help him deal with the Dragon Witch Cult and the Shade, but he did not want to expose everything about himself.

Therefore, he decided to contact the guardians here first, and set up the theater in advance, so that the voters of the goddess could fight with the dragon witch cult and the yin spirits: the two sides were already enemies, and they fought to the death with all their might, and there was no need for him, an outsider, to fan the flames.

And he himself has time to communicate with the tomb keepers of the ruins, and by the way, to see the legacy of the ancient empire.

Although he didn't want the Ancient Evil to be born, Penny was very interested in the power of the Ancient Evil.

In the eyes of the locals, it is not a very difficult thing to walk in this black fog, although there is no fixed road, but the lock will always pass some signals to the intruder, there is a very complex interpretation method to translate these signals into the correct way to walk in the lock, only people who can understand these signals, can find the right path, and every time you enter and exit the lock, the signal sent by the lock will be different.

Therefore, it is not easy to sneak into this village, and the local grave keepers are familiar with this, and can even talk while walking:

"Uncle, how many years has it been since a stranger stepped foot in that secret door?"

The young man turned his head sideways and asked the elders.

"No, we have to inform Soddock. The older man shook his head and quickened his pace, the repeated encounters with intruders made him feel uneasy, whether it was the mysterious woman who had crushed several stone giant settlements, or the terrifying necromantic red dragon, they were all powerful invaders they had never seen before, even the young man he had just met, which also made him feel uneasy.

Although the man seemed polite, the druid's natural instincts told him that this guy was definitely not an easy guy to deal with.

This is one of the reasons why he decided to copy the runes down and bring them back to the settlement.

When he thinks, he doesn't forget to follow the signals transmitted by the Mystery Lock to find the right path, in case of a mistake, the result is a dead end, even their people, every once in a while, there will be careless guys lost in such a lock.

In fact, this place is far from the ruins, although the outside is a giant running mountain range, but the people who live here know that this vast mountain range is only an entrance to the ruins, and the real place where the ruins are located, even they are not very clear to the tomb keepers, their target is the tomb keeper village on the periphery of the ruins.

After passing through this relatively simple labyrinth, with more and more complex traps and terrain behind, it would take even a middle-aged man as skilled as the two of them to break through the obstacles and reach this seemingly small village.

This is a dense forest that is not deep or shallow, and it is somewhat unusual that it is located in the belly of the mountain, and the trees themselves shine with a strange silver-white light, and do not seem to depend on sunlight to survive, and most of the buildings in the village are built on trees, and the tree houses supported by haystacks and logs look very simple, and the residents who enter and exit are also very simple, and most of them have calm expressions and do not behave arrogantly.

Many villagers meditate under the trees and practice asceticism that only warrior monks spend a lot of time studying, and a few middle-aged people choose to become one with nature and seek the path of druids.

Of course, there are also a small number of hunters in the villages and towns who can act as guards, and at this time, most of them are busy, either looking for prey in the dense forest, or performing the duties of sentinels outside the mountains, like the uncle and nephew.

"Morin, why did you come back so early?" When he saw the pair of uncles and nephews returning, a tall man greeted him, he noticed the solemn faces of the two uncles and nephews, frowned, and also noticed something strange: "What about your masks?

"There is a big problem coming, and there are several groups of intruders, which are very difficult to deal with. Druid Morin waved his hand in a serious tone: "The stone giants outside the mountain can't resist them, I'm going to see Sodok, where is he?"

"He's in the elders' dwellings. Seeing that the returning watchman said seriously, the man's expression sank: "I just communicated with the elders. ”

"In this case, I will go to see him immediately, and you go and organize the manpower, this time it will be a big trouble. Maureen said quickly, the man nodded, turned and ran to the center of the town, while the druid quickly made his way to the deepest part of the village, where there was a small stone house that seemed a little out of place in the style of the whole village, but in the very middle of the forest, there was a sense of mystery and majesty.

But the amazing thing is that this stone house is so small that it is only up to the waist of the man standing outside, and it seems impossible for a living person to walk in, let alone live there.

The door of the stone house is also very narrow, and it is pitch black, more like a shrine than a house.

"Morin?" A middle-aged man stood at the door of the stone house, frowning at the approaching druid, "I heard that there are invaders outside?"

"That's not all, Soddock. Morin briefly recounted the situation outside, and finally spoke about the young man who had broken into the secret door, and the middle-aged man named Sodok gradually twisted his brows as Morin narrated, and he held his chin and observed the runes that Morin had copied on his clothes, and the expression on his face turned confused.

"Master Soddock, do you know this rune?" the young man couldn't hold his breath and asked first.

Soddock shook his head, and both Morin and the young man frowned, only to hear a slender voice coming from the stone house, "Runes?" ”

"Elder?" and Morin looked at the narrow, dark interior of the stone chamber, and a silvery-white light radiated from the center of the portal, looking very mysterious.
