Act 60 The King of the Underground (11) (Second update)
"Lord?" Akane looked at Kuran who was mumbling to himself and asked in a low voice with some suspicion.
Brando shook his head and signaled her to be calm. He thought that this door should have suddenly appeared later, and maybe it had some connection with those monsters.
Sure enough, after a short while, Kuran suddenly stopped and whispered: "There are words on the door!"
Everyone leaned over and saw some strange patterns carved on the dark iron door. To be precise, they should be words. When Brando saw the trapezoidal words, he immediately said:
"This is Dwarvish."
"Dwarf language?" The old man frowned and turned around: "Why is there Dwarf language here? There are only hill dwarves in Tonigel, and they don't live underground."
"Where are the gray dwarves and the iron dwarves?" Medissa asked.
Gray dwarves and iron dwarves are both creatures that live in the underground world. The former is the descendant of the mountain dwarves, while the latter is said to be a descendant of the rune dwarves.
But Brando shook his head. Both the gray dwarves and the iron dwarves use the wedge-shaped script of Jogendigon, not the ladder-shaped script of the surface dwarves.
In fact, trapezoidal writing is the orthodoxy of the dwarves, while wedge-shaped writing was invented by the dark elves.
"Who could that be?" asked the little silver elf princess.
Brando contacted the Silver Heritage and suspected that it might be a branch of the disappeared Silver clan. There are three Silver bloodlines among the dwarves, the Storm Dwarves, the Rune Dwarves and the Fire Dwarves.
Except for the fire dwarves who live in the world of fire elements, this legacy may be one of the first two.
But before he opened his mouth, Akane clicked on the giant door with her thunder spear, and a soft "ding" sound came from the darkness. Then the girl took a look, and saw that the iron door was as smooth as a mirror without a trace, which proved that this
The strength of the thing is beyond imagination.
She frowned and asked, "Lord, what's written on it?"
"I don't know." Brando shook his head.
"Boy, didn't you say this is dwarf language?" Kuran raised his eyebrows angrily: "How could you not know?"
"I just know what the dwarf writing looks like," Brando thought. This is not in the amber room. The system can also automatically translate. Here he can only see these things and stare blankly.
But he walked over and put his hand on the door: "But I suspect this is a barrier."
"Boundary? Is it a spell? Is it an illusion?" The old man raised his silver-grey eyebrows: "Is there anyone else underground?" He glanced at Brando suspiciously: "You are not the only one here?"
Brando shook his head: "This enchantment is not a spell. The wizard's magic is just using the laws of the world. However, in ancient times, the enchantments were set up by the people of the gods. These enchantments themselves represent a kind of magic.
law--"
Kuran hasn't understood this sentence yet, but Medisa's eyes have widened: "Ancient Heritage, Lord, are you saying that there is a holy land behind this?"
"It's not a Holy Land, I'm afraid it's a Sanctuary." Brando looked at the door. The entrance to the Holy Land couldn't be so small. It was like the valley of the Fairy Land, even enough to accommodate two huge statues -
But it would make sense if this was just a sanctuary used to store the silver legacy.
The young man put his hand on the cold iron door and closed his eyes as if he could sense the weight of thousands of years of history coming from behind the door. At the same time, he asked: "Medissa, what is the ancient legacy of the Silver Elf?"
The little princess Silver Elf was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know, I have never been to the Holy Land. When the War of the Saints began, it had been ten generations since the Silver Elf left the Holy Land. Legend has it that we can no longer find our way back.
The road to the Holy Land——"
But Brando shook his head: "I'm afraid that's not the case. The Silver Elf should have returned to the Holy Land now. What is the name of your Holy Land?"
"Holy Silver Valley."
Brando nodded, but Akane on the side asked with some confusion: "Lord, is this not the time to talk about this? Should we find a way to open this door first?"
"I'm driving." Brando replied.
"ha?"
"For the ancient barrier, the door is a symbol, symbolizing the entrance," Brando replied: "The meaning of the entrance is to enter. If you just want to go to the other side of the mine, you can't open it anyway.
door."
"Go in? Where to go?" The red-haired girl was confused.
"You'll know soon."
As soon as Brando closed his eyes, he thought about 'entering'. Then suddenly everyone felt that their vision went dark. But before the panicked voice could sound, the light became bright again——
To be precise, it becomes brighter.
It was like returning to the surface of the earth all of a sudden. Bright and dazzling light came from outside, making every pair of eyes that had adapted to the darkness couldn't help but squint slightly. Everything was white in all directions, and the eyes hurt slightly.
Qian and the miner turned around subconsciously. Only the stronger Kuran and Medisha could look around steadily, but they both immediately let out a low cry.
The voices all around suddenly became louder.
It was a roar of cheers like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, pouring into everyone's ears like a tide. And after everyone gradually adapted to the dazzling light and the deafening shouts around them, they raised their heads and finally saw clearly
everything around.
They remembered that a moment ago they were in a dark underground tunnel and were blocked in front of a thick iron door. But now, they found themselves in a brightly lit square.
Maybe worse.
After looking further, everyone discovered that this was not a square at all, but a gladiatorial arena. They stood in the central open space, but there were towering walls and auditoriums above in all directions.
The auditorium was packed, and Brando couldn't see the faces of the audience clearly under the bright light, but he knew that this was just a virtual image of a spell.
interstitial space.
This is the content of this enchantment.
In terms of complexity, this space is far less mysterious and unpredictable than Fairyland, which exists in the gap between space and time. It is just a demiplane connected to the main material plane of Warnd's world, a small subspace.
However, the sound and light effects are indeed enough to make people dizzy.
He couldn't help but think that the evil guy had planned all this.
"What kind of place is this, Lord?" Qian managed to calm down and asked tremblingly. She was still fine, but the miner had already been paralyzed with fear.
Medissa and the old man said nothing, but the former was obviously calmer, while the latter had a vigilant look on his face and his hand on his sword.
"Destiny Arena." Brando replied.
"Destiny Arena? What is that?"
Brando raised his head and asked, "Have you seen that sword?" Following this question, everyone followed his gaze and saw a long sword stuck on a stone monument in the center of the arena.
The dark long sword refracted a layer of faint light under the dazzling light, but the shape of the sword was quite strange. It looked like a long sword, but it was about a palm wide, and the blade was smaller than an ordinary long sword.
It's much longer - it's better to say it's a combination of a two-handed giant sword and a long sword.
"What is that?" Kuran's eyebrows jumped when he saw the sword. As an old swordsman, he certainly saw that it was an excellent sword.
"The Sword of the Earth - Harangia." Medisha replied: "I know this sword. It is the silver heritage of the rune dwarves."
"Yes, this is the Sword of the Earth - Harangya. It is said to be connected to the earth. When it is swung, it often causes the earth to shake and the mountains to collapse. It is a fantasy sword that destroys landslides and cities." Brando knows another name for this sword.
——Players call it the Earthquake Sword, because the Earth Sword, Harangya, deals an earthquake damage equal to its own damage when it attacks.
Earthquake is an area spell that affects a cone-shaped area directly in front of it. It is almost the same direction and area as the sword wind. Although it consumes mana, it is definitely worth the money.
This thing is an artifact for a magic swordsman. Even Brando couldn't help but move his fingers when he saw this sword. For a swordsman, the attraction of this thing is really too great.
Not to mention, this sword also has the attribute of ‘leadership’——
All 'leadership' attributes generally appear on equipment with obvious camp and attribute characteristics. For example, the Earth Sword can be seen from its name as being related to the earth element, so it can lead.
It's those elemental creatures.
Brando finally understood where the stone leopards outside came from.
"Harangia, Harangia" the old man murmured to himself: "Is it Harangia, the weapon of the giant Miguel?"
Brando nodded. Miguel is the most beloved son of Mother Earth and the uncrowned king of the earth. This sword is his scepter in mythology and the seal he uses to rule the earth.
Of course, this is just a legend, but it made Brando's heart move slightly. He took a breath and replied: "Those who come here will have a chance to get the sword through the challenge." He turned around and said seriously.
He glanced at everyone: "But it's not free. If you fail the challenge, you will turn into a stone statue and stay here forever."
"This is what the Arena of Destiny is about."
In fact, Brando has a bit of a headache. The Arena of Destiny is one of the more difficult tasks of the Ancient Legacy.
But he was having a headache, and Kuran on the side asked: "How difficult is the challenge?" The old man looked at the sword, and he was a little moved. Although the old swordsman couldn't figure out where this place was, he was so-called talented and courageous.
Da, as a person with the power of gold, it is naturally impossible for him to be so scared that his face turned pale like that miner, and he is still unable to say a word.
"It's very difficult." Medisha replied: "Because it exists between fantasy and reality, there is no upper limit to the difficulty of the challenge here."
The word "no upper limit" made everyone's expressions change. "Lord, what about us?" Qian asked.
The little silver elf princess still shook her head: "There is no way to escape. Everyone must challenge it at least once before they have the right to leave here."
"Everyone?" The old man grasped the word keenly.
"Yes, unless you are below the strength of Black Iron, you can only challenge here alone, not together."
Akane paled after hearing this answer: "Then...what happens if someone fails...?" She has no power now, and it is almost impossible to pass the challenge.
"I will be left here until the barrier disappears this time and become a stone statue forever," Brando interjected: "But as long as someone is willing to take one more chance to challenge and succeed, they can rescue their companions. Don't worry.
, Akane.”
"Lord..." The red-haired girl was slightly startled. Of course she heard the meaning of Brando's words, and couldn't help but raise her head and look at Brando with a complicated expression.
