Chapter 770 Ending the Exploration of the Elven Ruins
Chapter 770 Ending The exploration of elven ruins is over
When we arrived at the library deep in Avallac'h's lair, the place was already empty except for the mess.
The messy scene showed that the Wild Hunt Knights had rummaged through everything. If they had more time, they might have demolished the entire place.
In the dead silence, only the three-dimensional image of the elf mage continued to play on the platform in the corner of the room. The reason why it was not violently destroyed was simple: one was that the platform for projecting magic did not contain any magic traps and did not dare to act rashly.
Another reason is probably that the news is completely out of date for the pursuers: "Seagull's daughter, Jivielle, it is no longer safe here, don't stay here.
Trust no one, especially the Hunchbacked Witch of the Mire. And try to get to the place where we last met.”
"It seems that you don't have to worry about Xili for the time being," looking at Xie Yuan who was staring intensely at the projection, the sorceress comforted her softly, "Judging from the content of the message, at least the Wild Hunt can't catch them based on this."
"I never worry that this guy Xili will fall into the hands of the Wild Hunt...especially in this world." Xie Yuan regained his calmness and laziness, "I'm just a little regretful that I couldn't stay as the "navigator" just now,
Otherwise, you can develop a different teleportation system through research here."
"It's not that simple...but thank you anyway." Keira waved her hand with a smile.
"So, Ms. Keira," Xie Yuan looked at the projection that had been activated, "You have been here for a while, have you ever heard of the Hunchbacked Witch of the Mire?"
"I have never met them, but I... know about them," Keira recalled as she walked. "I found a manuscript in a house in the village, which contained information about them."
In fact, it was because Xie Yuan considered that there was no such "simple" magic system for extracting natural magic power elsewhere, so he didn't even bother to learn it, but he also didn't want to offend anyone.
"Great!" Keira also looked very happy, "Here it comes."
At this point Keira shrugged helplessly: "Old witches seem to hate outsiders, but they are willing to help the locals. It is said that they once prevented the plague from spreading in Wellen."
"As far as I know, most of the elves don't seem to like this woman very much - after all, she seems to have intermarried with humans. The mainstream opinion is that she has rebelled against the tribe, and her death is retribution."
"Ah? Uh... right!" Keira then hit her palm with her fist belatedly, "There is also a magic lamp. He promised to give it to me, but it seems I have to get it myself."
"Well...it's your loss." Keira felt a little regretful when she heard this, but she didn't insist anymore. After all, everyone has their own ambitions.
She took out a cross and a gear-shaped metal plate and handed it to Xie Yuan: "This is the Eye of Nehereni, which can make people see through illusions. It is not difficult to make. I can give this one to you. It's very good.
use."
"Well... since you said so, they did come to see me." Hearing Xie Yuan's statement, Keira also frowned with a serious expression. "In the first two weeks of my stay in Willen, I kept having terrible nightmares.
There is always something in my dreams that wants me to walk into the swamp."
"Forget it, it's been a long time since I licked blood with the blade of a knife, and I can't learn it no matter how much I want to." Xie Yuan declined politely.
"One night, I was determined to control myself in my dream and confront that thing head-on. Unexpectedly, it disappeared immediately. From then on, I had a good night's sleep every night."
"Look, it's very simple, isn't it." Keira praised proudly.
"Well...that makes sense, but why can't it be a monument?" Keira disagreed.
Xie Yuan walked for a while and came to a T-junction. His ears moved, his nose smelled, and he immediately walked to the right.
Being flattered by a powerful warrior like Xie Yuan who could deal with the great magician... From Keira's perspective in this world, even knowing that this was a courtesy made Keira feel elated.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan, who knew what was going on, immediately asked Keira: "How should I find them?"
At the bottom of the slope on the other side, there is also an iron gate blocking the road, with four elf stone carvings holding the door - the stone carvings are actually mechanical stone carvings that can rotate around, and the answer to the mystery is hidden on the iron gate.
"I have expected this kind of thing, so I prepared this."
"Well... this skill is indeed good." Xie Yuan immediately took on the role of pioneer, "Then let's see where this road leads?"
Keira glanced at Xie Yuan in surprise, then walked over and touched the wall, nodded and confirmed: "It's an illusion, I feel it too - your spiritual sense is very keen, have you ever considered learning magic?
"
"This swamp is very big and dangerous, but I heard that the old witches will help the villagers who want to find them to guide the way. The manuscript mentions that there is a small church in the Camelback Swamp. You have to walk along the snack trail before getting to the church."
Fortunately, the literal translation of this thing also clarifies the general meaning - it is estimated that this kind of "code door" belongs to the level of fun of elf mages... Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if even Avallac'h himself couldn't figure it out.
"That manuscript said that sometimes the witch in the village would enter the Humpback Mire to help the villagers mediate with the old witch, the mistress of the forest."
As she spoke, she suddenly approached Xie Yuan's face: "And every time you use it, you will miss me again."
"As for this magical illusion...Dear Ms. Keira, do you have any solution?" Xie Yuan did a very standard gentleman's courtesy.
"...Meet, the demon god who occupies the mountain and is king?" Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "You said that the last witch was the mediator between the villagers and the old witch, but what about you? Didn't the old witch show up?
Is it in person or in a dream that you can take the position?"
"Well, it seems that the old witches do not completely rely on their strength to manage the divine power here. They even bully the weak and fear the strong..."
"Oh...it's easy." Hearing this, Xie Yuan pointed to a wall on the right side behind Kayla, "The wall there is a bit unreal. I guess it must be an illusion from your magic system! But it seems like
There seems to be no wind."
Keira doesn't seem to be a scholar who has put much effort into ancient languages, and although Xie Yuan has the memories of several Wild Hunt knights, he is not his native language after all, and he only knows a little about reading.
"Actually, it's a licking of a dog that you can't love." Xie Yuan replied in his heart, but after all, it was not something easy to say.
After opening the door to the secret room, what came to their eyes was a huge tombstone with a white swallow symbol engraved in the center.
"Thank you, Keira." Xie Yuan nodded seriously, and then used this new prop, the Eye of Nehreni, to wave on the door wall, and the illusion disappeared in an instant like a ignited paper curtain.
"Hey! Wrong," Keira immediately stopped him. "Didn't you notice a burst of fresh air coming from the left?! That's the exit?"
"Dim Sum Trail...ha, I've heard similar stories." Xie Yuan quickly recalled a similar story from his memory.
Keira was a little confused for a moment, but Xie Yuan recognized its meaning: "This...Isn't this a shrine set up for Laura Dolan?"
"Then what are you waiting for?" Xie Yuanxu pointed to the front on the right, "Let's go quickly! A quick victory."
Xie Yuan turned to look at Keira with caring eyes: "Yes, I think so too, so I think it is impossible for the elf mage to put your reward at the open exit, right?"
"It seems that there are similar stories circulating in the East, so take this book." Kayla gave Xie Yuan an old book with a brown and red cover from the small bag on her back, "I...I truly believe that you and Jie
Together with Lot, we can find Ciri, but can we find a way out now?"
"Then this elf is her descendant?!" Keira thought about it, "That's why she's helping Ciri like this?"
Although he did not want to see Avallac'h, as a man of dignity, Xie Yuan still tacitly agreed not to reveal too much of the truth.
Keira immediately took away the magic lamp placed under the shrine, even though it had gone out, she didn't care.
After finding the magic lamp, Keira, who was satisfied, followed Xie Yuan to find the exit, solved the illusion, and walked out.
This was the end of a not-so-long journey together.
