Richard almost without hesitation chose to place the main city of the tower (mage) force. However, the buildings of the tower (mage) force did not rise from the ground like the cities of other forces before. Instead, they followed a huge wave.
After shaking, the snow and ice on the ground melted, revealing a large area of ground paved with a marble-like material.
In the middle of the black-gray stone floor, a small piece of red lighted up, with red mysterious runes floating on it. It looked somewhat similar to the appearance of the teleportation array, but it was just a little smaller, like a smaller version of the teleportation array.
"Special existence appears in the ruins of the mage tower. It can be placed after exploration."
Here, Richard also received a systematic reminder that the main city of the tower (mage) force failed to be placed. The reason is that the ruins in front of him have special existence?
The snow giants and giant dragons who were waiting for the miracle to appear were a little embarrassed. When the ground shook just now, they thought there would be big changes. Unexpectedly, this change was a bit anticlimactic. In addition to the appearance of an open space and a small panorama,
Except for the mysterious runes that glowed red, there were not many changes, and the city did not look like what it was imagined.
"Master Richard, do we need to build a city here now?"
The first person to ask was Man Gu. Richard proudly told him before that a city would appear on the site, and they would resist the attack of the Snow Giant King's court in the city. Now, it doesn't look like there is a city?
Is it necessary to build a new one on the same spot, but it is difficult to find suitable materials to build a city in the snowfield? Moreover, the Snow Giant Royal Court will not give them time to slowly build the city.
Faced with Barbarian Bones' question, Richard did not respond. Instead, he frowned and stared at the conspicuous red light in the middle. The big words that he said before were just a trivial matter. Now it is obvious that the system wants him to explore the special characteristics of the magic tower ruins. This is what he said.
Something related to the red teleportation array.
Richard did not approach the circle of red light for the first time, fearing that he would be sent away directly. The thing would take him somewhere and delay him for a while. When he came back, the day lily would be cold.
And based on the bad habits of the elf magicians back then, he would not believe it unless there were some traps in the magic tower ruins. Entering the magic tower ruins to explore would not only delay a lot of time, but also bring some dangers. Do you want to do it for the sake of the tower (
It is a problem for the main city of the Mage) force to put oneself at risk.
"Damn it, done it!"
After much thought, Richard, who had not put himself in danger for a long time, decided to fight for the new main city.
The main city of the tower (mage) is of great significance to him. It is not only an outpost placed in the snowy field, but the main city of the tower (mage) itself is likely to have more connections with magic. Maybe it can be through the main city of the tower (mage)
The city is built to gain more magical abilities.
No matter how bad it is, the mass-produced seventh-level Titan is still very delicious, and it is worth taking the risk.
And after repeated consideration, Richard believed that the danger he faced was within an acceptable range.
First of all, his own strength is already pretty good. When used with all his strength, he has high-level combat power in the sky. Not only is he considered to be the best in this era, he would have been called the best even during the Elf Empire period a thousand years ago.
The master of the number is the same level as the magician, but there is a difference in status.
If this magic tower was left behind by an elf mage, it would never threaten the life of a master of the same level. Moreover, Richard also has teleportation skills, so he would really encounter an irresistible danger.
, at worst, just start teleportation and run out.
"Moriel."
"Lord Richard!"
Moriel has also been observing the red runes appearing in the open space. Although she does not have high magical attainments, she is more knowledgeable than Richard. When the red runes appeared on the ground, she had already felt that they were extraordinary and she probably guessed it.
The effect of this red light, when I heard Richard calling me, I thought I had to go in and explore together.
"Moriel, take the dragons and giants to guard the surroundings. If there are other snow giants that come close to spy, try to lure them away. If that doesn't work, destroy them. I will lead people to explore this ruins."
"There may be some dangers in this... ruins."
"Nothing, I'll take Natalie and Mills in with them. If there's any danger, I'll teleport out."
It was Richard's decision not to bring Moriel in. Part of Moriel's strength lies in transforming into a dragon. The ruins of the magic tower are obviously in the underground space, which is not suitable for Moriel of Huawei Dragon. Richard only chose this time.
Bringing Natalie, two archangels and two outstanding swordsmen in together, Moriel will guard the outside with the dragons and prevent others from coming to cause trouble.
"Yes, sir!"
Although Moriel was a little worried about Richard's safety, she would not hesitate at critical moments. After Richard made a clear decision, she immediately obeyed the order.
"Let's go over and have a look."
After arranging the task for Moriel, Richard led the people to approach the red teleportation array in the middle of the plain.
Looking closer, the light seemed to be directly connected to the ground. The material of the surrounding stone slabs was somewhat different. The nearby ground was outlined with many strange patterns made of silver material. It looked like ancient elven language, but Richard also
Its meaning cannot be fully translated.
No matter what, get ready to go.
Naturally, the first person to approach the red rune could not be Richard himself. The outstanding swordsman Fred stepped onto the red teleportation array one step ahead of Richard. The moment he stepped up, he disappeared in front of Richard's eyes.
After Fred disappeared, Richard paused for a few minutes. After checking from the system that Fred was still alive, Richard let several of his men enter the teleportation array at once, and he and Natalie accepted the teleportation at the end.
.
…
"Master Richard, there is no danger for the time being."
“There is so much space.”
When Richard came in, the surrounding area had been explored for a while by Fred, who came in first. The danger was eliminated for him. The space inside the ruins was larger than Richard had imagined. The place where they entered was a hall.
The dome of this hall alone seems to be six or seven meters high. It is obviously underground. Excavation of such a large space underground would require a much larger amount of work than building a similar house.
Moreover, this hall of several hundred square meters is obviously just a small area of the ruins. Looking towards the end of the hall, you can see a passage with no end in sight, and no one knows where it leads.
Richard stood at the entrance of the passage and observed for a few minutes. After seeing nothing interesting, he simply led the people along the passage. Two outstanding swordsmen opened the way in front, two archangels stood behind, Barber and Natalie.
Silk is in the center of the team so that he can be ready to provide support in the event of an accident.
There are always red magic lights on both sides of the passage, so that Richard and others do not need to use lighting torches and other tools, but this is actually not a good phenomenon. After so many years, since this is dispensable
All the lights can maintain power supply, which means that the functions of this magic tower ruins are still sufficient and have not been damaged with the passage of time. Then it is very likely that some of the defensive measures set up by the owner of the magic tower have not failed.
"Be careful and don't be careless."
"Yes, sir."
In fact, there is no need for Richard to remind him that both the outstanding swordsman and the archangel are extremely experienced in combat, and it is impossible to relax their vigilance in such a strange environment.
"Sir, there is a door ahead."
After walking along the passage for about ten minutes, something finally changed before his eyes. A door appeared on both sides of the passage. Richard randomly picked a door and walked over to check it out.
The door was made of wood. Although it was still intact, after the baptism of time, Richard still smelled a smell of decay when he got close.
He stretched out his hand and pushed the wooden door. Although the whole door was rotten, it was still quite strong. Although he did not use fighting energy, Richard did not deliberately withdraw his force. He used a force comparable to that of a giant dragon to push the wooden door, but he did not push the door open. I'm afraid
This is not as simple as a simple wooden door.
There is nothing on the door handle that might be a keyhole. This door cannot be opened with a key. Judging from the faintly visible mysterious runes on it, it seems to be related to magic.
Richard took two steps back and signaled to the outstanding swordsman Fred next to him. Fred raised the giant sword in his hand and took a step back. Then he yelled and exploded with all his fighting energy before hitting the wooden door with his sword.
"boom!"
After the loud noise, the wooden door was only cracked by a small hole under the heavy sword. With Fred's strength, let alone smashing a wooden door, some castle iron doors of poor quality were knocked down by Fred's sword.
It had to be broken open, but only a small hole was left on the wooden door. This door was indeed a bit strange.
However, don't be afraid of weirdness, just be afraid of ineffectiveness. As long as you can make a hole, keep smashing. Violence is not the best way to solve the problem, but sometimes it is the most effective way.
The two outstanding swordsmen took turns attacking the wooden door, and huge echoes continued to be heard from the corridor. Finally, a few minutes later, with Fred's heavy slash, the wooden door, which was already full of scars, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Live, completely shattered.
A dark passage was revealed. Behind the door, there was a tunnel going downwards. And although there was light in the tunnel, it was much dimmer than the passage outside. It was impossible to tell how deep the tunnel was, giving it a vague feeling of danger.
"Light the fire and go down."
Regardless of whether there was danger or not, Richard, who had already entered the ruins, had no chance of backing down. He directed everyone to light torches and walk towards the tunnel behind the door.
The group of people had an unimpeded journey down the road without encountering any dangers. The tunnel was not as long as expected. After turning a few turns, they came to a slightly more open space.
It's just that although this place is wide, the smell of decay is getting heavier and heavier. This smell of decay is not the smell of decaying wood just now, but more like the smell of decay brought by corpses. There are probably many corpses in this place.
"Sir Richard, something is not right around here. We seem to be in a prison."
Richard also saw that this place was a prison, not an ordinary prison. The dome here was several times higher than the one at the entrance just now, at least a space of thirty meters high.
There are cells on both sides of them now, but the size of this cell is a bit too big. The iron railings on the front are all half a meter thick. It seems that the material is not ordinary metal. What are these cells used for?
Monster's?
Soon, Richard's curiosity was satisfied. The outstanding swordsman approached a cell with a torch. By the light of the fire, Richard saw several huge iron chains and a huge corpse.
A giant dragon corpse that looked at least thirty meters tall.
"An ancient dragon is actually locked up here?"
"No, there's not just one giant dragon, but also a dragon head."
"But why is there only one more head and one missing body part?"
After carefully observing the giant dragon corpse, Richard discovered the bright spots in it.
"The joints of the cervical vertebrae are actually so thick and bifurcated. These elf mages are really good at playing."
This turned out to be a two-headed ancient dragon that was suspected to be made by elves. It was simply outrageous.
"Master Richard, do you need to go in?"
"Forget it, it's of no value, just keep reading."
Richard looked at the half-meter-thick fences and decisively gave up the idea of opening them to take a look. This was a prison used to prevent the ancient dragon from escaping. It was much stronger than the wooden door just now. It might not be that easy to break open.
Moreover, there is only the corpse of an ancient dragon inside. Although the dragon bone has a certain value, it is not exaggerated. He is not a necromancer, so there is no need to waste too much time here.
Next, Richard saw the elf mage's prison. The corpse of a giant more than ten meters high had some metal objects on it, and it looked like it had been modified.
There was also an orc with six hands, a giant eagle with two pairs of wings, a giant wolf with three heads, and finally something appeared that was hard for Richard to accept. There was actually a half-modified body that looked like a human or an elf.
's corpse.
No wonder, the ruins of this mage tower are actually underground. I am afraid that even during the Elf Empire, these studies were not visible to the public. The ground buildings of the mage tower are normal things, and there may be some problems if they are placed underground.
"I'm afraid the elves back then weren't that white lotus-like."
Just looking at these studies, we know that during the Elf Empire, these Elf mages had a superior and indifferent attitude and did not treat human orcs as equal intelligent creatures at all.
Enduring the intense discomfort, Richard walked through an area that resembled biological specimens and finally came to a round platform with some debris around it. It looked like the place where the owner of the magic tower worked daily.
"Look around and see if there's anything missing."
"Yes, sir."
This is the only advantage of exploring with his men. At least he can find things faster. Natalie stayed by Richard's side, alert to possible dangers, while the others began to rummage through the nearby debris.
"Be gentle, don't break things."
"Master Richard, there seems to be a book here!"
An outstanding swordsman actually found the most valuable thing among the miscellaneous items on the round platform, a book wrapped in unknown materials. Although it looked old, it was actually quite well preserved.
The cover of the book shows orthodox elven writing. Richard had studied elven writing before. Although he was not proficient in it, he happened to recognize that line of writing.
