Chapter 31: The Gate of Death

Ander watched Ye Tao find traces one by one through Yan Ling, and followed these traces toward the center of Tongwan City.

The shape of Tongwan City is roughly a square, surrounded by ancient city walls and an open space covered with weeds in the middle.

Those overgrown weeds covered the ruins of the former walls. Most of the buildings in the past made of wood had long been reduced to ashes in the flames of Song Taizong's burning of the city, leaving only the remains buried deep underground.

skeleton.

"Tongwan City is in ruins. Would the Qing Dynasty be stupid enough to design dragon veins in such a place?"

Chu Jie looked at the deserted Tongwan City and couldn't help but ask.

"Ajie, this is the last place that Friedrich went. It must be related to the dragon vein."

Ender answered with his hands behind his back.

"These traces were left a few months ago, which roughly matches the time when Freund came here."

Ye Tao controlled the snake and replied in his busy schedule.

On the side, Angers had already taken out his folding knife, and put his other hand on his waist, ready to pull out the pistol at any time.

As a few people continued to move forward, the weeds blocking the road became fewer and fewer, and there began to be more abandoned buildings.

Most of these buildings are part of the past city, and only these pitiful ruins of the ancient city are left to prove its existence.

Bypassing the ruins blocking the road, Ender and his team saw traces of human activities.

The weeds on the ground were artificially cut away, leaving an open space with some marks on the ground.

Angers walked over and looked at the traces drawn on the ground. After a while, he said:

"Friedrich stayed here, and he dug these ravines."

Angers pointed to the shape of the pothole and said

"The shapes you see are not dug by ordinary people. These strokes are very deep and you need good equipment."

The people in the surrounding area would not come here to dig and paint with nothing to do. It could only be Friedrich who did it.

"That means this person has been here for a while?"

"More than that, come and see..."

Angers walked to the other side and pushed away the soil on the ground, and four small holes appeared in front of everyone.

"He set up camp here, and this hole was used to hold the tent poles."

"You're quite a foreigner..."

Chu Jie whispered a few words and was knocked on the back by her brother.

Angers looked at the four small holes on the ground, lost in thought, and seemed to have overlooked something.

Why did Friedrich draw traces on the ground? If it were some kind of mark, it would be a bit too big.

"Lend me your hammer."

"It's a staff!"

Ender was obviously dissatisfied with Angers title, but he still took off the staff he was carrying.

He didn't want to use the space bag in front of so many people. It would be too conspicuous, so he had been carrying the "staff" he took from the Lu family during this period.

The staff was heavier than Ender thought, and Ender had to use magic to reduce its weight to ensure that the horse would not tire out.

Angers held the staff and redrawn the covered patterns on the ground.

Complex alchemical symbols were drawn by Angers and combined into a complex formation in this open space.

"Is this alchemy?"

Ender looked at these familiar and unfamiliar symbols and could feel that they were another system that was completely different from magic.

At least with his ability, he couldn't decipher this formation.

"We are in trouble."

Angers smashed Ender's staff onto the ground, causing a cloud of dust to fly up.

Ender stared resentfully at Angers who was throwing things away, ran over to pick up the staff, secretly wiped it clean with a mage's trick and held it in his hand.

"Young scholar, what's the trouble?"

Ange didn't care about the nickname Chu Jie gave him, but pointed to the magic circle on the ground and said:

"Look at this moon symbol that dominates."

Angers pointed to a huge crescent moon, which occupied one-third of the magic circle.

"The moon represents the feminine side and also represents death."

Then point to the line next to the symbol

"Gather, pray, sacrifice..."

Angers' fingers kept moving, telling the meaning and function of each symbol.

"This is the door symbol, and all the lines are converging towards it, which means that this door is what needs to be transformed."

Angers composed himself and came to his final conclusion:

"This magic circle can transform a certain door through the power of the moon and death sacrifice. The things behind the door are likely to be related to dragon veins."

Several people were immediately excited. After such a long time, they finally saw something related to dragon veins.

"The Tatars are hiding quite deep, foreign scholar, tell us how we should open the door."

Angers hurriedly appeased the excited Tiandihui people and said with some hesitation:

"Alchemy is the process of killing real matter and then regenerating it. This magic circle is to resurrect a dead door."

Ender could hear it, dead matter, it sounded so and so like...

Angers continued:

"The gate of death naturally connects to the kingdom of death, which is... the Nibelungen."

Here you go, whatever you want comes to you. Doesn’t the door of death lead to the Nibelungs, which are composed of dead matter?

Several people from the Tiandihui looked confused. China's mixed-race inheritance had been lost too much, so naturally they didn't understand this.

"Yang Xiucai, stop chirping to death, just tell me directly how to get there and how many thunders will be used."

Ye Tao is also an outspoken master. He doesn't care whether he is dead or alive, as long as he can blow up the dragon's veins, that's all good.

Angers looked at the confused eyes of the people in front of him, and for the first time he made up his mind to build a school after this incident was over, and throw these illiterate people in and train them carefully before pulling them out.

"Just wait until the moon comes out."

Ange said something and asked a few people from the Tiandihui to camp and rest. He walked to Ander who was studying the magic circle, knelt down and asked:

"Is there anything you can do?"

Ender used his fingers to pick up the gully that Angers had just drawn, and picked up a piece of dark red soil.

"Did you also find out that this thing uses human blood?"

Ander held the piece of dark red soil and asked Angers.

"Yes, based on the consumption of this alchemy circle, I'm afraid we just can't satisfy it."

Ender thought about the spells in his memory and found that he actually had a spell that could do this kind of thing.

"Plane Collapse, a fifth-level conjuration spell, can disturb the gap between the two planes and create cracks."

Ang hot nodded, he didn't want to use his own blood to drive this formation.

"Please, I will be responsible for diverting other people's attention when the time comes."

Ender looked at the formation on the ground and nodded excitedly.
