Chapter 107 Ancient Ruins, Nine Bronze Doors
The next morning, May 21st.
Richard got up early after sleeping in the burned-out Oasis City for one night.
After breakfast, all the dark gargoyles who had transported the residents for the night returned.
Gather everyone immediately and prepare to explore the ancient ruins.
Xina, who was in a state of embarrassment yesterday, had all the scars on her body disappear after he provided her with a large amount of honey.
A new suit of leather armor perfectly displays his figure like a cheetah.
The fierce aura of a veteran of many battles was in sharp contrast to that delicate and perfect face.
He held a cross sword in his hand, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
Xina is completely different from Andele's childishness, and her fierce demeanor can make people tremble with fear.
This is a pure warrior, the battlefield is her destination.
"Xina, after entering the ruins, follow orders in all actions."
Richard's eyes were solemn.
A team can only have one voice.
Xina is not his subordinate at the moment and must clarify the rules.
Xina looked directly into Richard's eyes, extremely serious.
"Yes, Sir Richard, I will absolutely execute your order!"
"But if I find a treasure that can lift the seal, I beg you to help me"
Richard nodded slowly.
"When necessary, do your best."
The army sets out.
Richard continued to ride the Dark Gargoyle. After having a means of transportation, he lost interest in traveling.
Although not as cool as the dragon, the appearance of the dark gargoyle is still attractive enough, and there is nothing wrong with it except for the butt.
Shortly after leaving the oasis, Richard suddenly thought of something.
Since Xina happens to have a map leading to the ancient ruins in her hand, and she built the city in the oasis because of the ruins.
Her hero recruitment mission is to break the seal again
So is it possible that the way to break the opponent's seal is actually in the ruins?
Although this speculation is a bit far-fetched, it is also reasonable.
Conquering heroes, recruiting troops, obtaining treasures, occupying resources, and exploring maps are the essence of "Glory Era".
In a quiet atmosphere, the army moved quickly towards the goal.
Xina had been to the ruins before, and Richard had synced the map in the parchment to the system map, so he wasn't worried about not being able to find the target.
After traveling to the north ↑ for more than 5 hours.
Huhu~
The wind in the desert began to get stronger.
The strong wind twists the fine sand and blows it on the face, which is painful.
This is a windy and violent place.
No wonder Xina said there is no one here, who in the right mind would come to this miserable place.
Upon seeing this, Richard dispersed the dark gargoyles to explore the situation from a greater distance.
The farther forward, the greater the wind and sand.
It’s hard to open your eyes until the end.
However, the mummy army did not react to this and continued to move forward at a constant speed.
In order not to waste Gunter's recruitment characteristics, Richard hunted several field troops and recruited three teams of elite 1-star bloody mummies.
As a result, the number of soldiers recruited reached 7 and a half squads.
6 squads of elite 1-stars, and one and a half squads of rare 2-star giant lizard mummies.
After these troops are given desertification, they can play a big role.
After marching for several hours against the wind and sand.
Richard compared the map and suddenly became energetic.
arrive!
Xina, who was riding behind the giant lizard mummy, also signaled the team to reach their destination at the same time.
Richard immediately recalled the scattered gargoyles and then landed on the ground.
Xina pointed to a prominent sand dune ahead.
"Your Excellency, Commander, cross the sand dune in front and you will reach the ruins."
Richard nodded and asked Gray to take the gargoyles to investigate. Only when there was no threat did he move on.
Amidst the whistling wind and sand, the army arrived under a large sand dune.
The sand dune in front of us is more than two hundred meters high and stretches for hundreds of meters.
Quite spectacular.
A conspicuous dent was formed in front of it due to strong winds.
Standing in the depression, the wind and sand were obviously much smaller.
Richard looked at the sand dunes in front of him, and his heart moved.
That ancient ruins are buried under the sand dunes? ?
Take out the Obsidian Staff from the system space.
After the staff was exposed to the air, it immediately glowed.
He is determined.
You found the right place.
He turned to look at the mummy hero beside him.
"Gray, Gunter, each of you will take two teams of dark gargoyles and all the bandaged mummies to explore the surroundings.
I want to ensure absolute safety"
"As you wish!"
The two heroes did not hesitate and immediately led the troops away.
Richard held the obsidian staff and the map in his hands, and the two relics were emitting light at the moment.
But he was like a stone sculpture, looking quietly at the sand dunes in front of him without making any movement.
The only sound left in the air was the howling of the wind.
A full half hour.
Only after Gray returned to report that it was safe and sent three teams of bloody mummies to guard the surrounding areas did Richard feel relieved.
Turning to look at Xina.
"Xina, how to open the ruins?"
"Close the dunes and the ruins will call."
Richard nodded and handed the two items to Gunter.
"Leave the soul phylactery behind and open the ruins."
The ruins are full of unknowns, and Gunter, who can be resurrected, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
The mummy hero wrapped in bloody bandages showed no fear. After leaving the soul phylactery behind, he walked towards the sand dunes.
The light emitted by the obsidian scepter and the parchment map in his hand gradually became brighter.
Gunter came under the sand dune, felt something in his heart, and slowly placed the two items on the steep sand dune in front of him.
The next second.
Wow~
The yellow sand above the dune shook, and a large amount of fine sand shook off.
And the two items were buried in it.
Gunter was also forced to retreat continuously by the yellow sand.
Richard noticed something was wrong and immediately waved his hand.
"Everyone retreat and leave this valley!!"
The army had just left not long ago.
Rumble~
The two-hundred-meter-high sand dune swayed, and the yellow sand attached to it tumbled down like an avalanche.
Dust flew up all over the sky and rolled down with an impact like a tsunami. It was like a natural disaster that could not be stopped by human beings.
The scene was extremely spectacular.
The dark gargoyle swooped down, lifting Gaunt into the air before he was buried.
After a few breaths, the depression tens of meters deep just now was filled with yellow sand.
After taking inventory, Richard confirmed that no one was buried, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there is desertification, there is no need to waste this life-saving skill before entering the ruins.
The dust was so thick that I couldn't see left or right clearly.
After a long time, under the blow of the wind and sand, the field returned to calm.
An amazing picture appeared in Richard's sight.
The two-hundred-meter-high sand dune now seemed like a goddess taking off her coat, revealing her true form.
They were huge bronze arches standing in the yellow sand, with as many as nine in number.
The middle arch is a hundred meters high, with countless magic runes engraved on it, shining with bronze light.
The appearance is full of unspeakable mystery.
On the door made of unknown materials, there is a relief sculpture of a white-bearded mage wearing a high-horned mage hat and luxurious mage robes.
The huge relief is lifelike, and the other person's eyes are bright as if they were alive.
If it were carved by mortal craftsmen, it would take hundreds of years.
On the left and right sides of the main door, there are four auxiliary doors that are tens of meters high. The farther outside, the shorter the height of the auxiliary doors.
These secondary doors are also carved with different images of mages, which are magical and extraordinary.
This miraculous scene made Richard shaken.
The nine bronze doors are so domineering.
After a long time, Xina suddenly saw something familiar and pointed to the auxiliary door on the far right.
"The scepter is over there"
Richard turned around and looked, and sure enough he found traces of the obsidian staff.
At this time, the system prompt suddenly rang.
"Ding~ You have discovered the ancient ruins - the Brilliant Mage Tower.
Every ancient ruin contains countless risks and opportunities. You may be able to find a lost artifact or trigger a forbidden curse that has been buried for countless years.
All, feel free to explore. ”
After taking a look at the prompt, Richard opened the black gold system.
"Brilliant Mage Tower (ancient ruins)
Level: 3 stars
Threat level of the secondary door: medium, the danger level gradually increases from the left and right sides to the inside
Main Gate Threat Level: Very High
Note: Relics cannot be upgraded. ”
Good guy, a 3-star ruins.
No wonder it looks so domineering.
Fortunately, the threat of the secondary door is slightly smaller, and the Obsidian Scepter is the key to the rightmost door among the 9 doors. It is also the door with the least threat.
Richard's eyes narrowed.
"Xina, do you know the information about these bronze doors?"
Xena shook her head.
"I just learned from the parchment that this mage tower once conducted special research on seals, and often captured some powerful creatures from other planes and sealed them in the mage tower."
"That's why I decided to come in and find a way to break the seal."
"But the auxiliary door is safer. Maybe we can give it a try. But all actions will be subject to your orders."
Richard nodded, his eyes burning.
"Gather the army and prepare to enter the ruins" (End of Chapter)
