In the third-floor room of the underground ruins, the three of them stood together to rest and prepare to continue their journey. So far, they had not encountered any ring warlocks, but this was the limit. It was impossible for the silver-eyed ones not to notice them.
If he was really stupid and forgot to take extra precautions in the ruins, he wouldn't be alive now.
"But how did the people of Mercury Blood get through here?"
Miss Bayas thought of this question:
"There are also special individuals like detectives among them?"
"This mirror has no obvious effect on warlocks of level seven or above. Although the silver-eyed man's strength has dropped to the level of level six, he is indeed still a nine-level warlock. He can move forward despite the damage and explore the ruins alone. Maybe [
"When Mercury Blood] developed this ruins, there were only a few warlocks above the seventh level who served as the main expedition members."
Miss Anat gave a guess, and then added:
"Of course, it's also possible that they have mastered other safe methods."
"We didn't meet the person who came in in the morning as the detective said. Does this mean that the person is also above the seventh ring and is waiting for us inside?"
Miss Bayas asked again, Miss Anat tossed a coin, and then said to Shade:
"Listen to the sound, you may gain something after the third time."
"no problem."
He closed his eyes to sharpen his hearing.
On the first try, Miss Bayas's voice was describing Shade's punch and shattering of the mirror.
On the second try, the sound of violent breathing seemed to be right next to my ears, but it quickly disappeared. After waiting for half a minute, no other sound appeared.
On the third try, he heard the end of a conversation——
"...So definitely don't go near that tree."
Then the footsteps left here, the footsteps were very heavy, as if they were carrying something heavy.
After the fourth try, I finally got the answer:
"I didn't expect this relic's countermeasures to be so simple. Carrying another mirror to completely cover your face will exempt you from the effect of the [mirror behind]."
This is the man with the strange accent, the ring warlock from the [Blood Spirit School] who entered here in the morning.
"No, this method can only be used with those above the fourth ring. Below the fourth ring, even if there is a mirror in front of you, you will be hurt by the relics... Why are you the only one here? Where are the others?"
This sound has never been heard before.
"Silver-Eyed Man, do you think it is easy to get from the New World to the Old World? The two people originally arranged by the organization were supposed to arrive in Tobesk on the weekend, and probably disembarked at the Coldwater Port tonight. But the organization received your letter and knew about the ruins
There is that tree in there, which is why I took the risk to come here to see you. Do you know how important the mission I originally performed nearby is? The mission I performed was related to the unknowable relic! I hope your information is correct, relic
That tree in there is really..."
Shade opened his eyes and looked at the door on the right. After the footsteps crossed the door, all sounds immediately disappeared.
"What result?"
Miss Bayas asked.
"Strangers are above the seventh ring and above the fourth ring."
Shade frowned, feeling a little uneasy:
"The other party is definitely from the [Blood Spirit School], but he was not originally arranged to come here. The other party was originally executing other plans nearby, and it is suspected to be related to the out-of-control level 0 relic handled by the church. Because of a tree, the stranger was arrested
Make urgent arrangements to come here to meet with the Silver Eyed One."
"Blood Spirit School? Tree?"
Miss Anat looked even more uneasy than Shade:
"This is terrible. The history of the Blood Spirit School can be traced back to several eras. Things that this ancient organization cares about may not be simple."
"But what is a tree?"
Miss Bayas asked.
"My guess is that the 'tree' refers to the relic that was suppressed here. Oh, remember, never get close to any tree, that thing is very dangerous."
Shade reminded, while Miss Anat became more and more uneasy. Miss Bayas still had the confidence to move forward, while Shade did not particularly care about what was in front of the ruins.
What he cared about was the top of his head. He had not forgotten the uneasiness he told the maid in the carriage.
But in short, they had no time to stop and could only keep moving forward.
This time it was Miss Anat who walked in the front. She took out the compass in her hand to guide the direction, put on the monocle to dispel illusions, and then pushed open the stone door that Shade pointed out.
Behind the door is a narrow corridor, with brick walls made of large stone bricks at the feet, above the head, and on the left and right. The corridor is not long and you can see a fork in the road not far ahead. This is the silver path predicted by Miss Anat.
The pupil brought into the ruins a special illusion constructed from the clerical relic [Maze Candle].
"Follow me. The structure of this maze will change at any time. Without guidance, it is difficult to get out by luck."
The female fortune teller waved to the two people behind her, and they continued to maintain the formation with Shade in the middle and Miss Bayas behind.
"However, since the candle was brought into the ruins by the Silver-Eyed Man, what was the space behind this door originally used for?"
Shade asked in a low voice when setting off, but his companions could not give an answer to this question.
They were getting closer and closer to the deepest part of the ruins, and they all remained very vigilant. Miss Anat walked at the front with the compass. Even with the guidance of the compass, she would throw coins at every fork to divine the direction.
Make your selection.
She is only a three-ring sorcerer, and the accuracy of the divination cannot be guaranteed, but there is no problem if she gives it a try.
Shade walked between the two ladies, which was theoretically the safest. Therefore, during the walk, he still had time to turn around and look at Miss Bayas behind him, who looked at him doubtfully:
"What's up?"
"fine."
Shade shook his head, sighing in his mind that the seventeen-year-old girl behind him was really very different from her peers.
Five minutes after entering the maze, the three of them heard a strange sound from the distance at the same time, as if some kind of animal baby was crying. The sound lasted for thirty seconds before stopping, but then it stopped.
Always echoing in the maze.
Judging from the information found, this clerical relic that formed the maze was only used to create the maze. There were no dangerous animals in the maze to hunt people who broke into the maze. But the sound did not look like the collective hallucination of the three people.
Therefore, Miss Anat whispered to the two companions behind her to prepare for battle.
Eight minutes after entering the maze, footsteps appeared at the fork in front of the road. But when the three people, whose vigilance had reached its peak, arrived, no one was seen in the other three directions of the fork.
Miss Anat was very upset and tossed the coin three times, but with no results:
"The most likely scenario is that the Silver Eyed Ones discovered us."
"Finally found us."
Miss Bayas said softly.
Before the sound could even finish, the ground beneath my feet began to vibrate.
