The night is quiet, winter night, there is no insect chirping, only the call of night owls occasionally comes from the canopy, and the whole forest is immersed in silence. In the sky, the faint silver glow of Shining Simana fills the entire forest.
The charcoal black tree trunks in the scorched earth showed a hint of loneliness under the cover of the moonlight.
The temperature is a little low and the surrounding air is a little dry. When walking on the rotten branches and leaves accumulated in the forest, there will be a crunching sound. In this environment, this sound always makes people a little creepy.
The dark elf who led Xiao Fen forward did not speak. He himself was also silent. Sometimes he would raise his head and look at the gray-brown cloaks of the two people in front of him, watching the silver light cast by the moon outline the huge figure in detail.
Cloak silhouette.
There were still a few sparse stars hanging on the night sky, and Xiao Fen could barely make out that they were the constellations belonging to the God of War and the God of Elves. He rubbed his eyes, and at this time, a white ball of light rose from the north. The ball of light
Climbing slowly, it gradually climbed halfway into the sky.
"Bang!" Like fireworks at a festival, the ball of light exploded in mid-air, dazzling white light illuminated half of the sky, and soft rays of light sprinkled from mid-air, covering the entire forest.
"They started to attack." Xiao Fen murmured in his heart.
The two dark elves gently turned sideways and blocked the light with their cloaks. Xiao Fen noticed this scene and thought to himself, maybe many years later, the descendants of these people will live on the surface like ordinary elves.
, accept the blessing of the sun, but now, they have to avoid the things they have been pursuing.
The three of them advanced silently for a while, and finally the two dark elves stopped under three neatly arranged pine trees. They turned around and said in a singing tone: "Friends, mage, we can only send it here."
!”
In any case, the dark elves are always arrogant. They are only willing to recognize Xiao Fen as their ally as a mage, not as a human.
Xiao Fen looked at the environment around him, and a smile appeared on his face, "Thank you, how should I go next?"
"This is already the south of the Burning Ember Tower. It is about a thousand yards away from the Burning Ember Tower. Mage friend, you just need to keep heading north." The dark elf on the left said softly.
Xiao Fen nodded and walked forward. But at this time, the dark elf behind him asked again: "Mage friend, do you need us to wait for you here?"
Xiao Fen was slightly startled, shook his head, and said with a smile: "You guys go back, I can do it myself."
The two dark elves nodded and left. Xiao Fen looked at their backs and confirmed that they had completely disappeared before turning back and moving forward. In the dark forest, his sharp vision helped him a lot, making him
He could always avoid several burning mages patrolling the forest in time.
Soon, the towering spire of the Burning Ember Tower appeared among the branches of the tree canopy. Xiao Fen only had to raise his head slightly to see the huge black figure - but this was not so much a mage tower as it was a mage tower.
It is better to say that it is a combination of a castle and a mage tower. In the center of the building are two tall black towers, and on the outside is a lower fortress-like building. The building is made of bricks and stones, but is inlaid in prominent positions.
The silver magic symbols and magic circles on it put the entire building under arcane protection.
At this time, Xiao Fen stopped. He carefully observed the surrounding environment, then raised the Dark Secret Rules and carefully added an arcane vision to himself. With the assistance of arcane vision, he quickly discovered Ran Jin.
Some places near the tower began to emit a faint light that represented magic fluctuations. It might be a magic trap or a detection spell. Anyway, it was not something he should be close to.
Avoiding those magic traps, Xiao Fen walked around to the front of the Burning Ember Tower. He could already hear the explosions and shouts coming from the north. Although they were very faint coming from a distance, he could still feel them.
Show the intensity of the battle.
After listening for a while and confirming that there was no danger nearby, he turned his attention to the Burning Ember Tower again. There was a magic fluctuation point next to the gate of the Burning Ember Tower. Xiao Fen was slightly alert and used his spell identification skills to check it and found that it was
An invisible detection body constructed from Eagle Eye/Sharp Ear.
"Is this something..." Xiao Fen thought for a moment, cast an advanced invisibility technique, and then used an advanced phantom to construct the appearance of a burning mage, and commanded him to follow him.
He and Phantom walked slowly to the door that was not too big. Xiao Fen searched the door first and seemed to find no trap. Although he really couldn't trust his poor search skills that day, he believed that in the future
The Burning Ember Mage is so arrogant that he will never lay any traps other than magic traps.
"A mage will always only believe in his own magic!" Xiao Fen said silently.
"This is an unlucky day..." Xiao Fen ordered the phantom to complain, trying to use this voice to cover up the slight noise he made when he cast the spell.
"Knocking technique!" Xiao Fen whispered softly, his fingertips trembled against the door lock, and the door lock made a soft click and opened.
Then Xiao Fen and Phantom put their hands on the doorknob at the same time, took a deep breath, and gently opened the door. The moment he opened the door, his heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. He was afraid that a high-ranking official was standing behind the door.
The Burning Ember Mage may have a high-level detection spell or something.
Silence, silence——
Cold sweat fell from his forehead, but there was no high-level Ember Mage or high-level detection spell behind the door. The stone in his heart suddenly fell. This was a utility room, about 10X10 feet in area, and there was a tunnel in the corner of the room.
A stone spiral staircase leads upwards. Behind the spiral staircase are several wooden barrels, covered with a layer of fine dust. There is another invisible detection object composed of Eagle Eye/Sharp Ear in the upper right corner of the room, but this detection object cannot be seen
All that arrived was the phantom of Master Burning Ember created by Xiao Fen.
"It's so exciting!" He murmured in his heart, and then he and his phantom closed the door at the same time.
After closing the door, the light dimmed, and the surrounding area fell into darkness. But this had no effect on Xiao Fen. He took a look at the surrounding environment, and then directed the phantom to act as if he was stumbling in the darkness and walked up.
The stone spiral staircase, and then he followed it.
The spiral staircase leads to a quiet corridor. The floor of the corridor is paved with exquisite obsidian. There are beautiful and grotesque statues on both sides. Each statue holds a beautiful lamp holder.
, a giant tallow candle burned on its holder.
Xiao Fen looked at the corridor and found no one or any magic fluctuations. He breathed a sigh of relief, removed the phantom of Master Burning Ember, and then walked forward carefully. His steps were very slow.
Wait, the corridor is empty and quiet. If you make any sound accidentally, it will cause a big echo, which will be a very bad situation.
As Xiao Fen walked, he admired the statues on both sides of the corridor. The statues depicted some creatures that he had never seen before. Some of them looked like classical heroes, but he was sure that they did not seem to exist in the history of Olas.
There was no famous figure like this, but in fact it no longer belonged to humans or any race he knew. He carefully searched his knowledge of history, mystery and even construction engineering, but these statues were not found in his knowledge system.
Not even a single word, not even a trace of its existence.
"It's strange, I haven't encountered such a situation before." He shook his head, and as soon as he relaxed, there was a clicking sound in front of him.
"What's the sound?" Xiao Fen was startled and stepped away.
The clicking sound soon turned into a rush of footsteps. Xiao Fen was startled and hurriedly checked whether the advanced invisibility on his body had failed. At this moment, a group of about twenty Burning Ember mages with accelerating effects appeared.
Like a gust of wind, it swept through the corridor and disappeared over the spiral staircase.
"What's wrong?" He frowned, secretly wondering if there were any new changes on the Druid side.
"Looking at the hurried appearance of those Burning Masters, even if there is a change, it must be a good change." Xiao Fen felt slightly relieved.
He moved along the corridor, maintaining arcane vision and invisibility. He did not encounter any traps or detection spells on the way. He only encountered two more groups of hurried mages. The loose defense inside the Burning Mage Tower made Xiao
Fen secretly wondered, but at the same time it also made him relax his vigilance.
At the other end of the corridor is also a spiral staircase. On the spiral staircase is the library on the third floor of the fortress outside the mage tower. There are various books piled here, but there are magic alarms and magic traps placed on each bookshelf. In addition,
Time was running out, otherwise Xiao Fen would have really wanted to stop and look through it.
He stood in the center of the library and looked around for a while, and had no choice but to leave. He left the library and headed to the reception room on the third floor.
Xiao Fen then walked through several rooms in a row. Although the atmosphere was tense, he never found anything that could be called dangerous. Whether it was the floor, ceiling or door locks, there were no traps where there should be traps.
Instead, a lot of shimmer representing magic fluctuations overflowed from the boxes and drawers in the room.
"It's really strange. Don't these guys have any sense of defense? Or are they so arrogant that they think they don't need to be defensive?" Xiao Fen shook his head and sighed, while moving his eyes to the wooden door in front. A faint hint of magic soon appeared on the wooden door.
Xiao Fen immediately recognized that this was a magic alarm. At this time, instead of being nervous, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart. A door with a magic alarm must mean that there is something valuable behind it.
"Remove the magic!" Xiao Fen raised his staff and waved it, erasing the magic alarm on the door, then stretched his hand towards the door, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly used a search skill on the door.
"System prompt: Trap found. Trap effect: When you open this door, it will trigger a poisonous crossbow shot. One shot every 18 seconds, a total of twenty rounds."
Xiao Fen secretly laughed in his heart and said to himself that he was lucky that he was alert enough, otherwise he wouldn't have been attacked. It seemed that his search skills were not rubbish. He stepped away from a distance, cast a protective arrow on himself, and then faced
The door showed a mage's hand, twisted the hand from a distance, and the door opened in response.
"Push!" Three poisonous arrows were nailed to the door. The current situation was exactly as the system prompt said.
Of course, Xiao Fen would not wait for twenty rounds of poisonous arrows to be fired. He rushed through the door and closed the door with a bang.
"Success!" He secretly shouted in his heart. At the same time, he raised his head and was about to exhale, but suddenly he felt his feet were empty, and then the system prompt came:
"System prompt: Trigger trap, trap effect: Trigger a flip trap when closing the door!"
"Bastard...!" Xiao Fen cursed the most viciously in his heart as he fell.
