Chapter 113 The Fireball Cult returns (fourth update, please subscribe)
Darkness!
Profound!
The air smells of decay and death!
When the five people passed through the portal, the first thing they saw was a huge and empty sealed stone chamber.
From the thick dust on the ground and the dense spider webs on the walls and overhead, it was easy to tell that no one had been here for at least a hundred years.
Especially the stone door leading to the deep entrance is carved with many exquisite and complex patterns, texts and murals, which seem to imply something.
"Where is this place?"
The half-orc Rhett looked around and asked in an uncertain tone.
“I don’t know! But I can guarantee that it must be somewhere in the Kalin Desert. Looking at those murals, texts and reliefs, they are obviously quite ancient.”
Paladin Aroline quickly gave her judgment.
As the only local here, she still knows a little about the history of her country.
Know that the symbols on the wall, which are completely different from any writing today, are actually an ancient writing used by the Calishites long ago.
With this information, we can roughly determine the approximate time when this tomb was built.
Zuo Si approached the stone door and checked it carefully, and quickly added: "This is the ancient Calin fir alphabet.
It records that a human witnessed an elf using high magic to forcibly seal countless warring djinn and fire djinn together, forming a huge gem.
Later this human fell under the tutelage of an elf mage and learned superb magic skills from him.
When he returned after completing his studies, he brought knowledge and power to recruit and teach apprentices in his hometown, and established the first true magic academy in the Calimshan region.
As time went by, even the [Wish Spell] could not maintain his old body, and his death was inevitable.
His disciples and grandsons built this secret tomb for him.
Since the mural repeatedly mentions "Keranshan" and "Tavier Dynasty", I think this mage has lived for at least two thousand years.
Because "Ke Lanshan" is the name of the coalition government established after the two djinn empires enslaved humans and overthrew the djinn.
About 7,300 years ago, it existed and lasted for hundreds of years.
The construction time of this tomb was probably during the first dynasty of Calimshan, which was the Tavel dynasty, more than 4,000 years ago. ”
“Can you read the ancient Calim letters? ! "Elloline opened her mouth in surprise.
You must know that basically not many people recognize this ancient writing.
Even the most erudite scholars and mages in Calimport rarely spend a lot of effort learning a language and writing that they cannot use on a daily basis.
"Absolutely. When I was bored, I read a book about the history, writing and language changes of Calimshan, and I remembered it all in my mind." Zuo Si explained casually.
For him, as long as words, symbols and patterns do not contain magical power, they will be firmly remembered in the "Thinking Library" as long as they take a look at them.
So no matter how complicated the language and text are, once you read it once, you never have to worry about forgetting it.
"Do you regard reading this kind of book as a pastime?"
The half-orc Rhett was stunned in shock, his eyes full of horror as if he were looking at a terrifying monster.
A completely illiterate person like him, who can only speak but not write or even recognize the common language, simply cannot imagine how boring and boring a life of soaking in a sea of books all day long can be.
Zuo Si shrugged nonchalantly: "Why not? Don't you think it's interesting to understand the dust-laden ancient history and changes in languages?"
Rhett shook his head vigorously without hesitation: "No! Not at all! I would rather find a fight with someone, or hide in a pub and drink for a day. Of course, fighting while drinking is not bad either. ”
"Hahahaha! I completely agree with you! Big green-skinned man, I'm starting to like you a little bit now." Alena laughed and patted the orc on the shoulder.
Perhaps he had found a like-minded partner, Rhett immediately grinned happily.
Seeing these two guys who were not seeking to make progress, Zuo Si sighed in confusion, quickly took out the [Fireball Wand] worth 39,000 gold coins from his bag, and stuffed it directly into the pyromancer beside him. "[Fireball Wand]? Give it to me!" Alena's eyes widened in surprise.
"That's right! This wand will be given to you to use from now on. Remember! Every time you open a door, or enter a new room or tomb, don't hesitate, Fireball first. If you hear screams or other noises, then fire another one."
Zuo Si raised the corners of his mouth and spoke out his tactics meaningfully.
Today he wants to show those behind the scenes the power of the "Kicking Team" + "Fireball Cult".
No matter what kind of monsters, traps, or puzzles you have arranged, I will warm you up with a fireball first.
If one shot is not enough, then use two, three, four...
Anyway, a [Fireball Wand] stores 50 shots, which is equivalent to the power caused by a LV13 warlock releasing this spell. .
Except for fire elementals, red dragons, and efreets that are 100% immune to fire damage, the remaining monsters will be half disabled even if they survive a few hits.
What's more, Zuo Si and the Shadow Army can penetrate the walls to investigate the sealed tomb.
Hearing these words, Alena suddenly smiled with excitement and joy, stretched out her tongue and licked her sexy red lips: "That's great! This is my favorite master! Don't worry. , I promise to burn them all."
"What if it hurts innocent people?" Ailuolin asked worriedly.
“Innocent person?
Do you think any innocent person would crawl into such an ancient tomb hidden deep in the desert?
And the mastermind must have come in and rearranged the entire tomb before inviting me.
Even if there were innocent people, they would have been killed long ago.
So from now on, you can feel free to hack down everything that comes out of the darkness, whether it's alive or dead. ”
After saying these words, Zuo Si immediately took out a card and activated the spell stored in it.
moment!
Everyone present was surrounded by a protective force field.
[Magic Card: Group Mage Armor]
This is a three-ring conjuration magic, basically no different from the one-ring mage armor.
The only difference is that the latter's effect can only affect a single target, while the former can be applied to everyone around it.
Although orcs, soldiers, and paladins all wore armor, it was of little use to them.
However, it can resist touch attacks from incorporeal creatures, such as shadows, ghosts and other undead creatures.
Because incorporeal creatures cannot easily pass through the force field.
Based on Zuo Si's mage level, this spell can last for about five hours.
One blessing should be enough to complete this "game".
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Si used [Force Field Shield], [Resist Energy Damage], and [Real Phantom].
The first two are blessings to improve the defense and fire resistance of the soldiers at the front, while the latter is to copy a false phantom exactly like themselves and throw it in the team to deceive others.
As for himself, he unceremoniously disappeared from everyone's sight with the help of the [Invisibility Wand].
In addition, Zuo Si also used [Lighting Technique] to create a moving light source similar to a torch for lighting.
After everything was ready, the group pushed open the closed stone door and cautiously headed deeper into the tomb along the dim steps.
Since there was the shadow assassin Yelniya exploring the path ahead, the two spike traps in the passage were quickly discovered and disarmed without causing any harm.
After all, she already has a certain level of thief, so the task of detecting traps and disarming them is basically not too difficult.
But if you encounter a slightly more complicated magic trap, you need to summon cannon fodder to step on it.
