The Record of Initiation - Legacy of Nightmares Chapter 8: Those who stay up late are also trapped by nightmares
"Let's stop talking. I'll take the lead." Brandon tied the armband of his shield, pulled out his long sword with his other hand and jumped down, landing next to the stone that climbed up to step under the entrance.
Alexander jumped after Brandon and landed safely. Then she used her dark vision to look at the current situation, then took the bow in her hand and said to Brandon: "Be careful."
Brandon concentrated his mind and began to cast a spell. The holy symbol on the shield began to emit soft white light, providing a thirty-foot bright illumination. This was the magic light spell. Alexander knew that this was one of the basic abilities of a mage or priest, and he had a certain talent.
You can learn it, and the consumption is very small, so small that it is almost nothing... But when did Brandon learn it?
"I'm the queen, you guys are going to step down first?" Fageni turned the "knife" in his hand in a circle, guarding the surroundings... It was said to be a knife, but it was actually just a long rusty iron rod.
"Aiya... It's too dangerous for you to jump down like this." Sofia sighed, snapped her fingers, lit four dancing sparks and attached them to the rock wall to provide a second layer of lighting. Then she slowly grabbed
She followed the protrusion on the wall down, after all, it was almost twenty feet high. Then the girl controlled four heatless light sources to fly down and spread out, so that the team could easily observe the surroundings.
When Fageni saw that Kino was not moving, he felt that she wanted to go down last, so the fourth one jumped down and looked up.
"You...you." Kino looked at Fageni with a disgusted expression. Fortunately, she was not wearing a skirt, so she jumped down.
Several people saw that the floor, walls, and ceiling were all welded from the same long strips of stone slabs that could not be called stone bricks. Sofia thought that the welding method was very similar to the combination of the Earth Shaping Curse and the Fire Control Curse for reinforcement.
The darkness here is not worth mentioning to Alexander. There are two places in this passage one behind the other. Behind it is a large underground cavity. There are many iron chains hanging from the ceiling above the cavity. In front of it is a tunnel diagonally downwards.
The underground hall, and the interior of the hall seemed to be glowing with an extremely dim red light.
The entrance was located in the middle of the corridor connecting the two. Alexander saw the footprints of the four teams walking towards the hollow and said: "It seems that the teams that came before have all gone to the back. I guess there must be some important building in the opposite direction.
Maybe there are traps and guards that the team in front didn’t eliminate.”
Then Alexander also walked towards the direction of the hollow. After Brandon passed her and walked to the first one, Alexander followed him vigilantly, observing the surroundings and moving forward carefully.
"I'm not familiar with this kind of place. I'll just do whatever you tell me." Fageni said in a voice that only the people around him could hear: "Kino, then you come to the rear?" Seeing Sofia holding the book and following him.
After walking forward, Fageni patted his leather armor and walked to the fourth position among the five. Kino glanced at him, pressed the hilt of his sword with one hand and paid attention to the movement behind him, and walked at the end of the team.
.
"You must pay attention to your steps and don't step on any mechanism." As Kino moved forward, he paid attention to the terrain in front of him and under his feet to avoid making mistakes.
After approaching the hollow, Alexander looked down. The iron plate hung by a thick chain could provide a resting place when crawling up and down. Currently, Alexander could see up to a hundred and twenty feet away in the dark but could not see the bottom.
"You guys wait for me here. I'll climb down a bit and take a look. I can see in the dark, so there's no need to worry." After Alexander said that, he ignored his teammates' dissuasion, grabbed an iron chain close to the passage with his back and climbed down.
.
After climbing down for about eighty feet, Alexander saw some devices at the bottom of the cave that seemed to control iron chains, and there was a new passage in each of the four directions. There were also markers posted by other teams at the entrances of these four passages.
Already in.
The first passage is a dirt road with dense weeds. The second passage is a stone road, but some white crystals grow on the non-artificial parts of the walls and ceiling. The third passage actually has a large number of crystals growing on it.
There are various kinds of mushrooms, and there is a faint heat emanating from the soil. At the point of this fourth and final passage, the walls and ceiling are entirely made of metal.
After Alexander climbed to the dazzling range of Dancing Lights, he stood on the iron plate and took a breath for a while before saying: "This chain has an iron plate hanging on it to connect to the device below. I guess it is used as an elevator, but it can't be used now.
.There are four roads below. It seems that the four teams each chose a road to explore after going down separately." She glanced around and at the ceiling again before jumping back into the passage and said, "Let's go to the other side first? Before I
I saw a hall."
"Okay, there is probably something in the hall that made them decide to go this way, everyone, please be careful." Fagni escorted Sofia back the same way.
"Is there anything on those four roads?" Sophia asked as she walked. Curiosity is one of the driving forces for traditional mages to move forward.
"From the entrance, you can see the marks left by those teams, and the terrain and materials are also different. The first is a dirt road with plants growing on it, the second is a rocky road with crystals on the wall, and the third road has crystals on the wall.
There are mushrooms on the ground as the hot air spurts out, and the fourth passage is a completely iron-walled passage."
"The third one sounds very bad, the second one is crystal and the fourth one is unknown. The first one looks the most simple..." Kino thought about what she would choose if it were her.
"This all sounds a bit strange, and the ecology is quite different. Are they all artificially modified?" Sophia thought about the characteristics described in the first and third roads. They were not like those mentioned in the books she had read.
and the general environment in underground ecosystems.
"So... which way is best?" Kino said to himself.
"If the guild knew which way to go, why would we be here?" Alexander had already seen the previous hall.
"It makes sense, but in this case the risk is random. Tsk, it's a bit troublesome." But in fact, Chino should still worry about the next path. After all, the five of them may not choose one of the four paths.
Brandon stood outside the main hall. Looking closer, the entire main hall looked like a large upside-down bowl. The outer wall was made of natural obsidian, and such a hard material was actually carved with wonderful patterns.
Some ruby fragments were filled with amber between one of the patterns, which may contain energy. This is the source of the red light Alexander saw before. The door of the main hall is currently closed, and there are various kinds of strange things on both sides of the double doors.
Symmetrical and mysterious patterns. There is a gold buckle on the door on the left. In order to reflect the grandeur of the main hall, the surroundings and top of the main hall were hollowed out. This kind of work can be said to be extremely generous.
Alexander picked up a relatively large piece of gravel and threw it into the main hall. The gravel just hit the obsidian. However, considering that the main hall was located in a relatively empty hall, the echo was not transmitted back in time.
There should be a road behind the main hall.
"There is no doubt that this was intentional by the person who built this building." Alexander carefully approached the palace door and asked, "Miss Sophia, can you tell anything about the lines on the door?" Alexander
When she walked to the door, she looked at the door knocker and the corresponding place on the right where the door knocker should be. She wanted to know if there was any mechanism to open the door.
"That's really luxurious... How many times can you cast high-level spells?" Sophia followed Alexander and approached the door, paying close attention to the wonderful patterns, gemstone fragments and amber to see what effect these could have.
"The previous owner of this ruins was very wealthy." Kino had been observing the surroundings and the ground to prevent any danger, while Brandon and Fageni also walked over.
When the four of them were observing closely, Alexander reached out and touched the door knocker lightly, and the palace door suddenly opened. Inside the palace was a ten-foot-tall armored skeleton of an unknown humanoid creature in gray, white, and black colors.
sculpture.
Even the cloak of the prototype was made of stone to recreate an elegant feeling. Red light flashed in the eye sockets of the sculpture. In the next moment, the five of them seemed to see countless black energy surrounding an unyielding warrior.
Sophia felt a great shock. The black energy seemed to be extremely compressed evil energy, and her soul was chilled by it. She was so frightened by the sculpture that exuded this ominous atmosphere that she couldn't move for a while. After a while, she gradually calmed down. She was a little cold.
His expression suddenly became a little ugly: "This sculpture gives me a very bad feeling..."
Fageni was also gradually fascinated by the warrior statue. By the time he realized something was wrong, he was out of breath: "Oh...cough cough cough." He hammered his chest and bent down.
.
Just like other companions, Kino instantly became frightened. The feeling of falling into an ice cellar suppressed her and made her unable to move, and her whole body was filled with a biting cold feeling. It took her several seconds to recover. "Still.
Fortunately, this is just a statue, otherwise..." Kino's expression also became obviously ugly.
"Huh... ha..." Alexander took several deep breaths before he recovered and asked: "Do you know Brandon? This one?"
"I've never seen anything like this." Brandon was stunned for a while and shook his head: "It's just that I think..." Brandong looked puzzled. After putting the sword into the sheath, he held his free hand around his neck.
The cross sword pendant he was wearing. "I feel that this should be a seal, and this hall should be an important node of the seal, because I have also felt this feeling here." Brandon lowered his head and looked at the pendant.
At this time, Fageni finally regained his breath. He slowly straightened up and said slowly: "This is a bad start, cough, cough, cough."
"Well? What's wrong? Is this statue related to the evil god? Or is there something wrong with the pendant?" After Alexander glanced around, he looked at Brandon nervously, his eyes moving between him and the cross pendant.
Sofia looked at the sculpture to determine whether it depicted the monster she knew. But she had never read the book that recorded the final blasphemy, so this was something she did not know.
"I have never seen such an existence, but the sculpture alone gives me an ominous and weird feeling." The girl shuddered, and then she released a ritual spell - detect magic, and pointed with her finger
He hit the ground and started to pull blindly.
"Well..." Alexander frowned and glanced at Brandon's pendant again, then began to observe the environment inside the hall except for the statues and said: "No matter what is sealed, I hope they never come out." And.
There are also patterns on the inner walls of the hall, but other than that there is nothing else.
"...I don't think we should open this door. The other teams may have realized what is behind it. Exit first and let's go find others." Alexander felt very bad and was ready to try after everyone exited.
close the door.
"Indescribable, indescribable... I agree with Alexander. Miss Sophia, this thing is more than just what it looks like." Kino was the first to withdraw.
"Let's go, it's very dangerous here, that's why they all walked to another road." Fageni seemed to have left the door without saying anything else.
Originally, she just wanted to see the magic light in the hall. But her sixth sense followed the magic light in the patterns, downward, downward, and downward. Suddenly, a huge bloodshot eye appeared from nothingness.
Open!
In just a moment, Sophia's mind was contaminated and the link was disconnected subconsciously.
"Ah!!!" Sophia cried out in pain caused by the pollution from the mental level. "Uh...well" the girl pressed her head hard with both hands, and the lingering memory haze caused two lines of cold sweat.
"Miss Sophia?" Alexander fell silent while looking at the lines, and then Sophia, who suddenly screamed in pain, called softly: "Are you okay?" Seeing that the latter was still holding her head in her hands in pain, she quickly picked up Sophia and let her
Brandon picked up the things and went out to close the door.
"Alas..." Alexander sighed.
After closing the door, Brandon chanted the words of prayer. The palm of his hand was shining brightly and he pressed it on the top of Sophia's head. "It's not a curse..." the paladin murmured: "But there is nothing wrong with such an evil breath." At this moment, he
His brows were furrowed.
[Why do you feel that there are ruins of evil gods everywhere? Is there a place in this world where there are no ruins of evil gods? Or am I just unlucky?] Alexander pulled the door knocker hard and tried to close the door tightly. This chapter has been completed!
