Along with the loud "rumbling" sound, the water level of the pool gradually dropped, and the bottom sank, forming a downward staircase, with a strange white candlelight shining through it.
"The secret room?" Lysa craned her neck to take a look, "I think it may have something to do with the pale eyes in the spell. The firelight is all white."
"Have you heard of this?" she asked over her shoulder.
The latter shook his head: "Want to go down and take a look? This is not in our plan."
Lysa did not answer immediately, but fell into thinking.
Austin asked Beowulf in his mind about the "Pale Eye". As a magical figure that exists in both legend and the future, there may be some clues in his remaining memories.
After thinking for a moment, Beowulf lived up to expectations and gave the answer.
"The 'Pale Eyes' is a pirate group, or an adventure group. Their captain is called..., I forgot his name. The reason why they became famous is that they explored the 'Abandoned Continent' and found the last God there. The corpse of a god in battle.”
It sounds like a pirate group that was active in the past, but there is no record of them in the classics Austin has read so far.
He glanced at Lysa and Revry, wondering if they knew something.
"Theoretically speaking, the incantation written in ancient characters will not be effective if it is not read according to the pronunciation of the ancient characters." Lysa said, "In other words, the following incantation is most likely not the original one when this building was built. It was left behind by the person who created the ruins, but was added by later generations imitating his techniques.”
Revery immediately understood what she meant, and then said: "You mean, this is what Benjamin left?"
"Not necessarily, but most likely."
With a thought in his mind, Austin said: "So, I suddenly thought of Benjamin... My father seemed to have mentioned the name 'Pale Eyes' a long time ago."
"Oh?" Lysa and Revery looked at Austin.
"They are an adventure group. The reason why my father knows about them is because they once boarded the legendary 'Abandoned Continent' and found the remnants of the first God War there." Austin pretended to remember, He said slowly, "As for the leader...it seems that my father has not mentioned it."
Lysa looked at Revry with inquiring eyes.
The latter shook his head and shrugged.
"If we boarded the 'Abandoned Continent', it might be related to the secret of the God Killer."
According to legend, the first war between gods caused a continent to completely turn into ruins and sink to the bottom of the sea. Countless adventurers and pirates tried to find this continent and obtain the treasures and secrets on it, but for thousands of years, no one has ever been recorded Found it.
Except for this mysterious pale eye that suddenly appeared.
"Beowulf, do you know about the destruction of the continent?" Austin asked again.
"I don't remember, these things are too long ago."
Austin grasped the key, which is "can't remember" rather than "don't know". This Beowulf most likely experienced the first divine war!
A legendary figure who experienced both the First God War and the Second God War - what a blast.
"But I seem to be able to vaguely sense it."
"Huh?" Austin exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Lysa and Revery, who were still pondering the previous information, looked at Austin.
"nothing."
"Beowulf...he..."
"What's wrong with him..." Austin felt like he was about to touch this guy's deepest secret.
"His body seems to be there..." Beowulf was a little unsure.
"Huh?" Austin exclaimed again.
"What on earth are you doing?" Lesa couldn't help it and asked.
Austin twitched his lips: "I suddenly remembered something about the Abandoned Continent."
"How to say?"
"That... um... what the Pale Eyes found in the Abandoned Continent was the body of a god." Austin simply threw out this information.
"Then I have to go down and have a look." After saying that, Revery took out a magic crystal and threw it down the stairs.
The divine crystal glowed white and rolled on the stairs until it disappeared from sight.
"No interference from the power of the gods."
It was still a triangular formation. Although there were pale flames on both sides of the stairs, Revery did not put away the lantern. Austin guessed that it was an artifact, but he didn't know what it did.
The three of them slowly went down the stairs. There was nothing else along the way except for the pale candlelight on both sides. It seemed to be just the simplest corridor.
"If Benjamin left this place, there might be no trap." Lysa looked at Austin's face and smiled.
"But these white candles don't look like his handiwork." Austin questioned, "Have you seen these things?"
Lysa shook her head.
Hearing this, Revery also stopped and looked carefully at the candlelight next to him.
The flame was fluttering like silk in the candlesticks on both sides of the wall. The pale color gave a scary feeling, as if it had entered a gloomy tomb.
Lavery touched the flame with his waist knife, and the tip of the waist knife gradually turned white. A cold air spread to his hand along the handle of the knife. A layer of white frost covered the blade, and a trace of cold air jumped on the blade.
"Cold?" Austin was a little surprised.
Revery nodded, withdrew his sword, shook off the hoarfrost covering it, and produced a light blue glass jar from somewhere. He clasped a candle and put it away.
After the flame was collected, a new flame immediately emerged from the candlestick. Along with the flames came a white shadow, which naturally floated out from the flames.
Austin reacted instantly and subconsciously drew out the Black Anemone Touch.
But the shadow didn't pay attention to the three of them at all. After "stretching" its body, it rushed out of the corridor. The white candle didn't last long and dissipated after a while.
"There are no more here." Revery shook the glass jar, and the flames inside were gone.
"Soul?" Lysa looked at the flying shadow and touched her chin, "Using the soul as fuel? I feel that Benjamin is not such a person."
She was so sure that she once made Austin think that she was Benjamin's child.
"Is that what was left from before?"
"It's possible that Benjamin used previous technology, but he didn't know the specific principles." Lavery used his waist knife to draw a line on the wall. "This corridor seems to be together with the ruins, and it doesn't look like something from our era. "
Since no mechanism was triggered, the three of them walked straight down. After a few steps, they passed a corner and saw a wide wooden door.
