"Those magic traps were indeed set up by Mr. Prader."
The recovery light that shrouded his body gave off a hazy meaning. The magician named Oro Tokavis said in a weak voice. His whole body was devastated by the final blow of the giant robot. He was also at this moment. Lying among the metal plates scattered on the ground, looking like a dying patient - the robot subdued by Noah Brett's last magic dagger never stood up again. The area also returned to calm after the sudden encounter. Under Duan Qing's identification and prompts, the location where Prad should have been was now empty, leaving only the door that he should have cracked. The door was still creaking and swaying amid the ruins of the ruined battlefield. He disappeared as soon as he found out that it was empty. Noah, who didn't say a word, ran into the dark end behind the small iron door without leaving a word. He was unable to keep up and could only be beaten by The remaining team members who stayed here were then moved out of the ruins made of metal plates little by little by Duan Qing and Xu Yu Liushang, lingering in the swirling dust and the smell of burnt lake that had not yet disappeared. As the only sober one among the remaining staff, Oro Tokavis also let out a heavy sigh after quietly listening to Duan Qing's brief statement. He glanced at Duan Qing and Xu Yuliu who had been prompted by Noah. At the entrance where the two people had just jumped, a complex light full of luck, puzzlement and confusion flashed through their weak eyes: "Most of the people in the pioneering team were present at the time, so there is nothing wrong with this arrangement. Anyway, It is true that some magical mechanical guards often appear here, and it would be terrible if they block our retreat when we are in danger."
"I know what you are suspecting. That is also Prader's request." Having said this, Auro couldn't help coughing twice more, and the few bloodstains under his head were also ugly as he managed to squeeze them out. The smile showed: "According to what he said, you two don't need to know the existence of these traps to avoid unreasonable suspicion and opposition from both of you, and the possibility of such an "accident" happening is very small, even in the end. If something unexpected happens, if these traps are effective, they may give you a big "surprise", hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha--ahem! Cough cough cough! "
"Lie down first and don't get excited." He pushed Auro, whose chest was heaving violently, back to the wall, and Duan Qing pushed back the opponent's hands that were holding the healing potion: "In addition to the triggering conditions of the trap, we also need to In addition to improvements, those magic traps really gave us a big surprise, and the effect was so outstanding that we almost kicked us out of this development mission - why, considering that you are in such a miserable situation now , can’t I give you a little compliment?”
"This is nothing to praise...ahem, praise." Auro slowly loosened his clenched fingers and raised his head, pushing the healing potion bottle back into Duan Qing's hand: "But still Thank you, I feel much better... Is this the life potion you made yourself?"
"Is the quality good?"
Duan Qing praised himself expressionlessly as people murmured and stared at the scene. He stuffed the medicine bottle in his hand into his cuff, and then moved to the other two unconscious and seriously injured people. : "Hey, if I had given myself two more layers of magic shield earlier, why would I have ended up in this situation?"
"Oldman himself is not a magician who is good at defensive magic. His auxiliary magic and healing magic are very good." Looking at the two targets that Duan Qing started to deal with, Oro replied in a weak voice: " As for Ms. Shirin... she just didn't expect that "North Guard" to have such powerful power and combat intelligence, and she accidentally fell into the trap of the opponent's attack. "
"So the bosses always collapse like this. One falls and the other has to be saved...ahem, it's nothing." He used the action of clearing his throat to cover up his subconscious comments. Duan Qing, who was half-crouching in front of Oldman, then also The liquid in the bottle completely spilled on the front of the other person's chest: "Yu Shang, I'll leave that lady to you."
"Don't we hurry up and catch up?" Without rejecting the healing potion bottle thrown by Duan Qing, Xu Yu Liushang, who walked up to Shilin, glanced in the direction of the swaying door: "If Prad -"
"Of course we have to chase him. Mr. Noah alone probably won't be able to do it."
Duan Qing, who was drawing some kind of magic runes before the preparations on his hands stopped, turned back to Oro: "But there are a few things it is best to confirm in advance, for example - Mr. Oro."
"Do you really not know the purpose of Prad Inflidy insisting on coming to this place?"
The glimmer of magic illuminated Oro's miserable face, making the magician's troubled face even more difficult to discern: "I, I don't know what you are talking about...Wait a minute! What I said is true. Yes! Although my entry into this team is indeed due to the relationship between the two of us coming from the same school, I just wanted to cooperate with him a few more times because of this relationship! There is absolutely no other meaning!"
"Okay, now that it's all said and done." Duan Qing's expression continued to flicker in the dust-filled light and shadow: "What about Oldman? And that Noah, what are they made of - I You mean, are they Prader’s accomplices?”
"I don't know. I've only heard each other's names before, and we haven't had much interaction." Oro's weak face seemed to be a little flushed due to emotion: "Oldman is The original development team member was the only one left after Prade came to take over this task. Prade should have taken a fancy to his past experience and the information he had in hand. As for Noah... he is from the Law Firm. , we don’t dare to ask any more questions!”
"The Judicial Office is an office that specializes in reviewing the internal affairs of the Mage Council, and is used to punish magicians who have violated the rules or committed serious crimes - most every organization has such a department, you should know about it." Duan Qingdi responded. The questioning look came over, and Whisper Liusang, who was treating Shirin, replied in a low voice: "Because they are magicians who specialize in treating magicians, and the magic and moves they use are quite "special", so it is okay to have such a fear. Very normal. "
"In other words, there is a high probability that Noah is no longer an accomplice?" Duan Qing took in his breath and made a sound of thought: "At first, when I saw him chasing after him in such a hurry, I thought there was still a slight possibility... haha , as a result, we had doubts and doubts, but there was not even a "wolf" at all? "
"You, what are you suspecting?" Reluctantly raising one of his eyelids, Oro Tokavis struggled to ask his last question: "What on earth is that guy Prader doing?"
"We also want to know what he is doing." Duan Qing patted the other party's shoulder, squatted down and gave the other party a reassuring look: "Listening to your conversation just now, you seem to have the ability to call for reinforcements, right? Then Just take a good rest here and wait for someone to rescue you."
"We have to hurry up and catch up."
Slowly pressing the purple rune that had been outlined between his fingers for a long time on the ground aside, Duan Qing calmly turned around and walked forward. He and Xu Yuliu Shang who followed him passed through the opened door. The small door, by the way, I checked the structure of the door a little: "——It was designed to be locked from the inside, but it was forcibly broken open. It should also be Prad's handiwork."
"Judging from what we observed after arriving here, that guy obviously knows the structure here very well. In other words... he should have known that there is a door here and what is behind the door."
"And that giant mechanical guard - what do they call the "North Guard"? It should also be a mechanical body created by the Ancient Sky Clan, right? "
"According to my guess, this should be Prader's plan to lead the pioneering team around seven times and eight times to "accidentally" discover this secret place, and then use the team's cover to sneak into the world behind this metal door. "
"It seems to be a hidden passage leading to a mysterious area."
The metallic texture gradually disappears as the steps move forward, and is replaced by a scene surrounded by damp and dark stone brick walls. The narrow passage extends more and more orderly as the stone steps continue to spiral forward. The texture of the scattered rocks and brick walls around them became more and more orderly as they progressed. Examining the last footprints left on the ground, Duan Qing, who was walking ahead with magic lighting, crossed the last corner and entered the hall that suddenly became spacious.
The bottom of the passage also appeared side by side with countless columns, and the bottom of the passage in front of the two people extended forward: "Or is this passage an escape passage to the outside world? We just use it as an entrance? "
"correct answer."
The two side-by-side pillars extended diagonal shadows of different thicknesses under the lighting in Duan Qing's hand. One of the diagonal shadows also outlined a small human figure in Duan Qing's eyes. Prad Infilidi stood in that place. At this time, he was guarding somewhere in the corner of this unknown hall, raising his hands and responding to the arrival of Duan Qing and the others with a smile on his face: "Only in this way can I get here safely. Find what I want to find."
"What do you want to find?" Duan Qing naturally pushed the conversation forward without being surprised at the calmness and friendliness shown by Prader at this moment: "What do you want to find?"
"Of course this is it."
Pointing to the expanding magic light in front of his hands, Prad's illuminated face was filled with a satisfied expression: "The 'treasure' we have been looking for for generations, the source of our promise, and the beginning of revenge." . "
"Treasure? Promise?" Moving his steps carefully, Duan Qing moved the pillar between himself and Prad a little away from his sight, trying to observe the area blocked by the huge stone pillar from a different angle. What was wrapped in the dim light: "These two are understandable in the eyes of us adventurers, but - revenge? What is that?"
"You can't say that you have a blood feud with Mr. Noah, right?"
The gray-robed magician said this while pointing at Noah Brett, who was lying on the left side of the light. The member of the Tribunal who had just been discovered due to the obstruction of the huge corridor was now Already unconscious, it seemed that he had been completely subdued by Prad at some point in the past: "Are you interested in going into more details? You know, we adventurers love hidden missions and stories the most."
"Hahahaha! Hahahahahahaha! Why should I tell you?" First he burst out laughing from small to loud, and Duan Qingliang also saw the proud expression of Prad Infilidi standing there. Raging in front of people's eyes: "That's a secret that even my dear mentor doesn't know! What qualifications do you have, what chance do you have - ah, no, you have a chance to know."
"There will be an opportunity soon."
The light became more and more powerful behind the pillars, and the outline also formed into a rectangular shape at the last moment of the surge. Duan Qing and Xu Yu Liushang, who had collected the last bit of information, hurriedly hid to the left and right, looking for distance. The nearest stone pillars were used as bunkers to avoid the energy attacks suddenly radiating from the front. Amidst the sizzling sound of high temperature, the hall behind the half-dyed stone pillars became completely clear under the full light. Even the words engraved on the inner and outer walls of the hall and on the floor stone tiles Countless magic lines were also filled with bright light in the sudden outbreak of scorching hell: "This, this is -"
"The magic circuits in the entire hall have been completely activated!" He shouted to remind him of the direction where Xu Yu was flowing. Duan Qing endured the high temperature and covered the magic shield that was used to protect himself around one of the magic lines. Around the arms: "This kind of texture, and this way of functioning..."
"Aiya, can you understand their meaning?" The voice belonging to Prad's laughter echoed in this burning light: "As that paper apprentice of Fernando Wiggins, you actually Can you recognize the great resurrection behind this "blue fire"? Do you recognize the flame of eternal life left behind in this "Hall of Eternal Life"? "
"Sorry, I don't recognize any of them." Putting away the red arm shield shell that was wrapped by the high temperature torrent, Duan Qing replied solemnly: "But I suddenly recalled some past events."
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
With the accumulation of energy, it gradually changes to blue, which seems to mean that the temperature contained in it is still gradually rising: "This is "that place". "
"The place I found by mistake with Aina."
