He had seen the student badges of the Burial Ground in Jacques' hands, which were carved with stone tower-style patterns, while the student badges of the River Spirit had three waves instead of rivers.
"Put it on, I will take back my mental power and give it a try!" Of course, he would not completely ignore Julian. If anything went wrong, Ian would immediately cover it again.
Julian pinned it to his chest as instructed. After breaking away from Ian's protection, he did not feel any pressure. The two of them smiled at the same time: "It seems that it is right."
Ian said: "The magic circle has disappeared, let's go look for Shirley and the others!"
"It's up to you!" Of course Julian had no objection.
So Ian led him towards the end of the streetlight. The darkness happened to be the ruins of a wizard tower. But strangely, he found that there were only seven wizard tower foundations in this ruins, which was exactly one missing.
There are eight wizard towers in the Burial Ground at the bottom of Moon Lake. They are both intermediate magic schools, so the gap between the two should not be too big.
Ian recalled the words on the brass lampposts he had observed along the way, and finally discovered that what was missing here was the Abyss Wizard Tower, the most evil existence.
Relying on their status as students, the two of them carefully left the range of the light, disappearing into darkness. The next second, their traces were lost in the underground space, just like Shirley and others.
From light to darkness, when the two regained their sight, they suddenly found themselves in another space. There was indeed a hidden space in this ruins.
This is a black valley, with sharp cliffs on both sides. The two ends are endless. It is unknown where it comes from and where it ends behind. It seems as if there are only these two cliffs left in the whole world.
The strange thing is that this world is full of dark colors and dry atmosphere, it feels like a pond that has been dried up by the sun. But the blackness is not caused by the lack of light, on the contrary, although they see soil and rocks when they look up
, but the light still shines in from unknown places. Even if the light is weak, it does not make people afraid of the darkness.
The dark color here seems to be formed by a whole black canvas covering.
"It looks like moss and water plants clinging to the river bank!" Julian squatted down and grabbed a handful of black substances. They were originally in the shape of small round leaves, but when Julian touched them lightly, they immediately shattered into soil, and then exposed
Gray and white stones below.
He looked up and saw such black everywhere, so he couldn't help but guess that these were all moss and water plants?
"Pebbles, and coral reefs... strange, is it a river bed or a trench?"
At this time, even the well-informed Julian was confused. According to his understanding, mosses generally grow in freshwater rivers, while coral reefs grow in saltwater oceans. These two species rarely appear together.
Ian released his mental power, and through subtle sensing, he discovered that these were all kinds of lichens and lush aquatic plants. They were so lush that they covered the rocks and the ground, and formed naturally after they died.
Such a rich black.
In other words, Ian and the others actually broke into a graveyard of aquatic plants and algae.
"Look, the environment here, with its long cargo box-like structure, does it look like an underground river?" Ian gestured a few times. The sealed space in the shape of a mouth and countless corpses of water, grass, grass, and grass looked like an ancient underground river.
river.
The dark river could not be seen before and after, so he gave up all thoughts of using mental power to detect it. Just what he could see far exceeded the upper limit of 3,000 yards of mental power.
"Underground river? How did so many coral reefs come from? This doesn't make sense!

"Julian shook his head. Not aware of the danger for the time being, he walked around to see what he could find.
Ian also knew that coral reefs can only grow in the sea, and he was also confused. He had to say: "This is probably the wizard's method. Although Tuwen County is close to the sea, the spirit of the river is not close to the sea. Be careful, there may be ancient times here."
Maybe the alchemist wizard’s breeding farm.”
As he was talking, he heard Julian waving to him from a distance: "Come here quickly, there is a way up here."
When they got closer, Ian discovered that there was indeed a stone staircase leading to the cliff. The two of them had not noticed it before because it was covered by water plants as tall as a person. Julian only discovered it when he got closer.
The stone staircase is winding, with one step at a time, flat and smooth without any trace of artificial carving. The stone staircase is in the shape of a zigzag, extending all the way up to the top of the cliff.
The two looked at each other and finally decided to go up to have a look. Ian first used the wind spell to blow away the water plants blocking the way. When the smoke and dust dispersed, they walked up quickly.
At a height of 20 yards, they found a platform that extended outwards, as if it were for people to rest. And within the cliff, they found a stone door, which was perfectly embedded in the cliff. If Julian had not observed carefully,
, Ian is determined not to discover it, because there is something wrong with this cliff. It can confuse mental scans and make all wizards return in vain. Only knights with strong eyesight can detect these subtle differences.
There must be a space behind this stone door. But the stone door has neither a handle nor a keyhole, and it seems impossible to open it. Even though Julian was full of fighting spirit, and even used the rune array to activate the huge force, he could not do anything about it in the end.
"It must be magic. Do you have any idea?" Julian punched the stone wall next to him and asked in frustration.
Ian did not answer immediately. He closed his eyes and searched with his mental power. The cliff can confuse the wizard's mental power to discover the secrets inside, but it is undefended outside. With an idea, he soon discovered that every hundred yards on the steep cliff there were
There will be a zigzag stone staircase, and there will be a platform extending outward at the turning point of each stone staircase.
If these aquatic plants hadn't blocked their view, they would have discovered it from the beginning.
"Dark Department No. 015"
While Ian was searching with his eyes closed, Julian also discovered the message carved on the stone door. After hearing this, Ian also found this string of numbers on the stone walls inside other platforms.
From Dark Series No. 1 to Dark Series No. 132, each inflection point has a series of numbers. Each stone staircase has six inflection points, and there are a total of 22 dark series engraved on it.
Further away, there are words such as light system, fire system, etc. But the water system has the most stone staircase platforms, with a total of 333 platforms. The stone gates on the two cliffs add up to thousands.
This made Ian feel like he was dreaming back to his past life. It was no different from a college dormitory. The only difference was that the access control of the wizard dormitory in the main plane was much more powerful than in his previous life. Anyone could open it without a key. And Julian's actions just now
This is also confirmed.
He said helplessly: "This seems to be the residential area of the River Spirit Wizard. The entire cliff is restricted. I can't open it without a key or key."
"Then what should we do? Give up here?" Julian was a little disappointed. Ian's style is exactly the same as that of their Sentinel soldiers. In addition to killing people readily and performing tasks without compromise, there is no other proficiency. What if?
Shirley or other wizards here can at least get some clues, "Do you have any clue about the key or something? It is very likely that all the wealth of the ancient wizards is hidden in it."
Ian glared at him and said angrily: "We have been here for so long and we can't even see a piece of paper. Where did you get the key?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Well, that's right, it's really weird here. When I just took over as captain, I went to the ruins of an ancient group of wizards with Senior Du Lang. It was a highland in the Kingdom of Suger. We entered
When we were there, the space was already very unstable and could collapse at any time. Moreover, it was full of the remains and energy aftermath of magical creatures tamed by wizards. It was very difficult for the brothers to withstand the erosion of death energy, so we searched for the target.
He immediately evacuated the property.
I don’t know how many times I have carried out similar ruins missions like Sentinel’s Sorrow, but no space is as safe and peaceful as this one. This place is too ‘clean’. You must know that even in the wilderness, we will encounter various animals at any time.
and robbers, but here, let alone the remains left behind by the killings, there is not even an abnormal energy field.
You said this is the residence of a group of wizards, which seems very unconvincing to me."
After hearing this, Ian asked: "Based on your experience, what should we do next?"
Julian thought for a while and said: "Leave first, go back and report to Lady Mia, and let her make a decision."
"But, how should we get out?" Ian scratched his head and asked. There is such a large area here, how long does it take to reach it?
When Julian heard this, he retorted unceremoniously: "Asshole, are you a wizard or am I a wizard?"
Ian was so embarrassed that he couldn't reply, so he could only say angrily: "It would be great if there is still a wizard tower here, and I can try to see if I can get permission."
Julian listened and asked: "What authority!"
Ian told him what happened at Moon Lake, and the other party fell into silence after hearing the words. Finally, he thought for a while before taking off the badge from his chest and handed it to him: "Try this, this is the only one we have that can match
There is a connection with the spirit of the river!"
"What's the use of this!" Ian muttered. But after saying that, he still covered the opponent with his mental power and then studied the badge.
The badge is made of alloy, made by an alchemical wizard. Generally, this kind of thing can conduct energy or spiritual power.
When his mental power broke through the metal surface and penetrated deep into the interior, it did not penetrate directly, but swallowed up his mental power out of thin air like a giant beast. Just as he was confused, a piece of information was fed back from inside: Dark Department 015 Dormitory
Activated, student number 00367.
It turned out to be a mental brand, and he understood.
At this moment, there was an immediate connection between the badge in front of him and the stone door. When he approached the stone door with the badge in hand, the stone door that Julian could not push open smacked in, and the stone chamber that had been covered in dust for thousands of years finally saw the light of day again.
"Coincidence or not?" Julian asked in disbelief with his eyes widened.
Ian smiled bitterly and was equally confused: "How do I know? Let's go in and have a look. No matter how weird this magic academy is, it won't harm its students."
After putting on the protective spell, the two of them walked carefully into the stone room. The interior layout was a typical wizard's residence. Except for a hard and cold stone bed, there was nothing extra.
The bookshelf is piled with books, the long table is piled with alchemy materials, and there are a dozen thick notebooks.
Ian walked around and found that many things had been reduced to ashes over the long years. Except for the rusty metal utensils that were still barely usable, most of the paper books were rotten and mildewed. The books on the entire wall only had shells.
Stay intact.
"The things here are completely rotten. The air is not poisonous except for a bit of moldy smell. It seems that there are vents." Julian judged everything in front of him with a professional eye, "It should be the residence of male wizards, alchemists, and negative energy wizards.
