First, they sent people to blockade the ruins of the stone tower and the village of Bamult Village. Margaret then pursued non-stop in the direction of the Valzhu Mountains. Along the way, she also met Lord Valx who was outflanking. Te deliberately concealed the battlefield that took place in Bamult Village, and after analyzing the possibility that the Baru pirates might escape across the Valzhu Mountains, he watched Lord Valx leave with his battle group.
"Legion Commander, shouldn't we continue our pursuit?"
Alice, Margaret's capable lieutenant, questions.
"Our goal is to intercept and defeat the marauders. Now that the goal has been achieved, the rest is left to Lord Valx. We still have more important things to do. At least we must understand why the Baru people are doing this. Traveling all the way across half of the continent, we came to the Valoran Plains."
After a little explanation, Margaret led the team back to Bamult Village, borrowed many excavation tools from the village, and began further excavation work.
Soon, three meters below the original pit, a flat tomb protected by a magic stone slab appeared in front of the Noxian Black Iron Guard.
Recruiting the mage Urza who accompanied the army, Margaret asked the mage for his opinion.
"Can the tomb be opened without destroying the grave goods?"
"Legion Commander, I need to observe with my companions first."
"Please."
Urza jumped down into the pit in two steps and stood on the edge of the land. He carefully bent down and looked at the magic stone slab with a dim halo, focusing on the lines.
Soon, a look of shock appeared on the mage's face.
"Beard, look at this!"
Another mage from Black Rose also jumped into the pit and squatted on the edge of the pit according to Urza's instructions.
"This is... the Icathia Magic Pattern Plate? Why does this thing appear here??"
"It seems that this thing is correct."
Knowing what was under his feet, Urza put his hand on the magic stone with confidence. The magic halo on the stone began to flicker with a special frequency following Urza's magic fluctuations.
"Thousands of years ago, a mage from Icathia built a mage tower on the continent of Valoran, and also built his own tomb outside the mage tower. He also used magic pattern plates... There is no doubt that this is a mage tower. What does he want to do as an uninvited guest who should be destroyed along with their country?”
"At least I can confirm that the tomb was built with a magic pattern board that can isolate magic fluctuations. There must be good things in it. No wonder those Baru people who like treasure hunting came here from the Blue Flame Islands... Maybe, that Yodel The mage’s choice to settle in the stone tower is also related to this tomb.”
The two looked at each other, and Urza looked up at the female general standing outside the pit.
"Legion Commander, I think we can crack the secret of the magic pattern plate, but we need time. The magic pattern board of Icathia is engraved with the Icathian language, and there is a magic secret language on it. Only by deciphering the magic secret language can the magic pattern be revealed. The board must open by itself, otherwise the magic pattern board under attack will launch a magical counterattack, or even worse, it will trigger the mechanism inside the tomb, allowing the magic mechanism designed by the owner of the tomb to destroy the tomb."
"Let's get started, try not to damage the tomb, we have plenty of time."
"yes."
With Margaret's approval, Urza recruited the remaining mages and began further excavation work.

Only when the main secret area of the Magic Pattern Board is completely exposed can several mages successfully decipher the secrets of the Magic Pattern Board. The lack of any key statement will result in decryption failure.
Fortunately, there are no consequences for failed decryption. Only forced and violent demolition will cause the tomb to self-destruct. This also gives several mages the opportunity to decipher the secret.
"This symbol represents the sun, which corresponds to the [sunlight] in Icathian language, combined with the four Icathians kneeling under the sun..."
Looking away from the six black rose mages, Margaret couldn't help but be curious about what good things there were in the tomb.
One day and one night passed quickly, and the army was still stationed near the ruins of the stone tower, blocking all entrances and exits.
After Margaret paid for a lot of supplies in Bamult Village, it was enough for an army of a hundred people to consume for a week.
Time came to the early morning of the third day, as the fourth magic pattern board was cracked, Urza, with two dark circles under his eyes, pressed his hand on the formation eye of the magic pattern board, and according to the magic frequency decoded by the secret language, he The elemental symbols resonated magically. After a few breaths, the magic plate made a 'click' sound, and the magic core was destroyed and turned into an ordinary stone block.
Without the protection of magic power, the magic pattern plate is just an ordinary masonry.
"The magic protection is gone and it's time to dig."
"Isn't this thing worth reusing?"
"Unfortunately, the magic pattern board has no secondary use value. All its functions are reflected in the moment it is formed. However, the Icathian secret language and elemental symbols on the magic pattern board are worth recording. As long as there are suitable materials, These magic pattern boards can be reproduced through secret words and elemental symbols...
As for the most valuable part, Mage Beard, who has studied the Icathia magic pattern plate, has already completed the record, so the legion commander does not need to worry. "
After confirming that the stones were worthless, Margaret felt relieved.
After waving his hand, the Black Iron Guard who had been prepared jumped into the pit with a pickaxe, and swung it to hit the airtight stone slab.
As the stone slab cracked, a deep stone staircase tunnel appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Leave two mages behind to ensure a continuous escape route.
More than a dozen experts were selected from the Black Guards and Dark Blood Crossbow Guards, including four Black Rose mages. A group of sixteen people held torches and walked down the stone steps.
The underground stone passages along the way did not have the fatal mechanisms as imagined. However, under the explanation of Wizard Beard, Margaret understood that the magic pattern plates of the tomb were connected to the magic load-bearing pillars that supported the architectural structure of the underground tomb. If it were not through the secret words, Instead of cracking it, if you choose to forcibly break the magic pattern plate, if you receive excessive impact and vibration, the load-bearing columns will shatter and collapse under the expansion of magic power, burying the entire underground tomb.
After exploration, Margaret also figured out the design style of the catacombs.
Like the traditional Icathian mage's tomb, the underground tomb is divided into three parts, the main tomb where one's own bones are buried, the side room used for studying and consulting magic books, and the funerary room where burial items are stored.
The four mages were divided into two waves. Urza and Beard took Margaret to the funerary room, while the other two mages went to the side room to collect and protect the magic scrolls and ancient materials in the side room. chaptere
