Although Arthur, who knew Rex well, could conclude that the scheming papal heir must want to involve him and his people in investigating the mechanisms in the secret warehouse, but there was no fear on Arthur's face. I have absolute confidence in myself and my subordinates’ strength!
The elites gathered very quickly. Soon, under the leadership of Arthur and Rex, ten Crusader guards and ten senior monks passed through the gate of the dark warehouse together.
Different from the bright and luxurious main office, the passage inside the secret warehouse is dark and long. The slightly sloping road constantly leads people deeper underground, and the passage is very narrow, only enough for three people to walk side by side. If they are here, When attacked in such a place, not to mention the giant sword on Arthur's back, even the one-handed long sword on Rex's waist seemed a little difficult to use.
Fortunately, this passage did not have the traps or mechanisms as imagined. Arthur and others successfully found many warehouses filled with gold coins, gems, and crystals. As the large army searched all the way, they soon reached the end of the passage.
Although on the surface it seemed that the end was sealed, under the inspection of this elite group, they still found the hidden mechanism and opened this thick secret door.
A stench similar to that of a swamp assaulted my nostrils. Unlike the previous treasure room, which was not spacious, this room was simply too big. Arthur made a visual inspection and found that even if two hundred-man troops were training inside, the space here would not appear narrow at all.
The only flaw is that in the four corners of the room, there are four huge stone sculptures piled up in a very strange way, taking up a lot of space in the room, and it even feels like it is about to break through the ceiling. Because the surface of the stone carvings is full of pits and rough workmanship, it is impossible to tell what is carved on this huge lump of stone. But the only thing that can be determined is that the mire-like stench that fills this room comes from these four stone carvings. emanating from it.
"Damn it, who picked up these four broken stones from the cesspit and threw them in this basement!"
Rex cursed a lot, but there was no delay in directing the action.
Braving the stench, the Crusaders and the monks carefully inspected the room. After a while, they discovered that a relatively weak death-type magic power was seeping downwards from a corner of the ceiling of the room, and in the middle of the room. In the center, a huge magic circle is carved out of fine gold, mithril and other rare materials.
"It seems that where we are now is probably under the Hall of the Dead. I don't care, Chief Monk, have you found out what kind of magic circle it is?" Rex asked his cronies.
"It is a one-way long-distance teleportation magic array, and this side is the exit. The charging port of the teleportation array is connected to the city's ley lines, so the teleportation array has a very large capacity and can transport about a thousand troops at a time."
Different from the two-way transmission that is easy to locate, the biggest trouble with the one-way transmission of the magic circle is that it cannot reversely trace the source of the magic circle.
"General Arthur, what are you going to do with this magic circle?" Rex asked Arthur, but Arthur was thinking about some questions and did not answer him at all.
"Tch, you really take yourself seriously when I call you general." Rex was very unhappy at being ignored. Looking back, he gave instructions to his men.
"Cut off the connection between the teleportation array and the earth's veins, and everyone will input magic power into the teleportation array in the opposite direction to destroy this place!"
On the other side, Arthur was analyzing everything unusual here in his mind.
"The city lord deliberately placed the gold and silver treasures outside the secret door, hoping to use them to divert attention, so the things inside the secret door were even more invisible. If this basement is not far from the center of the earth line, then it is very likely that the wizard's union is above it. Or the Hall of the Dead next to the Wizards Guild.”
"No one visits the Hall of the Dead all year round. No matter how strong the space magic fluctuations are, others will not take the initiative to explore the Hall of the Dead, let alone that there is a world below the Hall of the Dead, which is very suitable for hiding people's eyes and ears. More importantly, in order not to be caught by others Reverse tracking, the other party specially made a one-way teleportation circle. Since all this is to hide a shocking conspiracy, then the other party must also have prepared an ambush to wipe out everyone in this room after being discovered."
"If it were me...what kind of ambush would I bury?"
Arthur kept thinking, and he suddenly discovered that the stench in his nasal cavity was getting stronger and stronger, and the originally airtight basement was suddenly filled with a rotten smell similar to the depths of a swamp!
"Swamp? Stone sculpture? Wait! Damn it, the monks stop injecting magic power, everyone is on alert, and evacuate the secret door as quickly as possible!"
After all, elites are elites. Although the Crusaders' guards didn't know where the enemy came from, the moment Arthur gave the order, they had already entered a fighting posture of drawing swords, raising shields, and concentrating their energy. The monks were a little slower. Although most of the monks obeyed the order, stopped injecting magic power, and returned to the team, one of Rex's cronies and another younger monk were obviously slower. One shot.
The next second Arthur issued the order, the magic circle on the ground suddenly began to mutate. Before the two monks could react, the magic circle directly absorbed their magic power. Then, Arthur and others watched helplessly. The secret door quickly closed in front of their eyes, and the surface of the four stone sculptures in the corners began to crack, revealing the true appearance inside.
"Medusa's petrification spell hid the Hydra, and it's still a four-headed mature body! It's really an ambush in the dark!" Arthur pulled out the giant sword from behind, and the holy fighting spirit in his body continued to rise!
If he wants to fight, then fight!
"The whole army attacks!"
