Chapter 891 Mercury Ruins

After walking in the winding passage for about ten minutes, the walls in the passage first changed from relatively new modern structures to broken and ancient stone walls. The collapsed stairs and broken stones on the ground all showed the antiquity and longevity of this place.

Finally, everyone stopped in front of a gray, mottled stone wall.

On the walls were symbols of the Mercury Dynasty, such as a skull head and a moon wrapped in wisteria. At this moment, everyone also felt a cold magical power sinking here, making people feel cold.

Feeling the familiar necromancy, Loran Hill thought that if she could regain her necromancy, her strength would likely increase significantly here. However, to maintain secrecy, she had to maintain her status as a war serpent.

"It's right here. Although it's protected by a ban, our family has been studying it for nearly a hundred years and understands the mechanism that makes it work."

"So, just follow my instructions, destroy the protective ban at the critical moment, and you can enter." As he spoke, his eyes moved to the back of the team, where the butler stood, holding a hooded girl by his hand.

After nodding slightly, Viscount Mo Ruo asked his men to disperse, and then began to explain the key points and timing of the attack, as well as the issue of how to distribute them.

After sorting things out, he first stood in front of the open space in front of the stone gate, and once again reached his hand into the range of the restriction. A slight ripple spread around his hand, and then he felt that the energy in his life was being sucked away.

"Now." He shouted softly, and then Yan Liuyan slashed down with a knife, draping it towards a corner of the wall. The scorching magic power seeped into it, even melting part of the surface and turning it into turbid crystals.

Seeing this, Viscount Mo Ruo reached out his hand again, carefully sensing the situation. In this way, several people took turns using magical attacks, finally unlocking the key switch and slowly stopping the forbidden magic circle that had been operating for thousands of years.

"Huh, we've finally solved it," a Sequence 4 adventurer breathed as he sat nearby. Continuously using high-powered skills had already drained most of his magic power, leaving him no longer able to go deeper. Fewer than ten people still had some energy left to continue exploring.

The forbidden magic circle was successfully unlocked, and the reaction device was not triggered. This made Viscount Mo Ruo breathe a sigh of relief.

The next step is to open the door. He thought, and then took out a small oval bottle from the inside pocket of his clothes. Inside was a mesmerizing red blood, which shimmered in the torchlight.

Standing in front of everyone, he slowly poured the crimson liquid down, and then the skulls on the wall began to move.

With the sound of clicking, the mechanism slowly pushed open the dusty stone wall, and then a gust of cold air swept over, making people feel chilled.

The air seemed to smell of damp stone powder, and then everyone saw a dark red and rusty world.

A guard carefully reached in with a torch and illuminated the surroundings. The hall was filled with collapsed shelves and wooden box fragments. The supplies that were originally contained in them had either turned to ashes or only a small part of the wreckage remained, making it impossible to tell what they looked like in the past.

In this situation, could the treasure still be left behind? The people who were originally in high spirits fell silent, as if they had been tricked.

"Now, I'd like to trouble a few of you who are still able to move to go down with me." Mo Ruo took a look at the current situation and then invited the remaining Sequence 5 transcendents.

"Hmph." Looking at the situation in the hall, a non-commissioned officer snorted to express his dissatisfaction.

Unfortunately, Viscount Mo Ruo didn't care and continued to invite.

"Maybe there's something else down there. I think if there's something that can withstand the erosion of time, it must be something extraordinary."

"Since we're already here, let me continue walking with you." Yan Liuyan shook his head and followed.

The other people in the underground space looked at each other and had their own ideas.

"I'll wait here. You go down and assist Viscount Moro." The red-robed officer stood at the entrance with his arms folded, looking around at the wreckage and murals on the wall.

"Yes, Lord Wildwin." With that, three military Sequence 5s stepped forward and also stepped into the deep underground.

"Miss Messiah, are you going?" After giving the order, he turned around and looked at the girl on the side. He had not given up his previous plan and wanted to get more familiar with this beautiful lady.

"Well, since I promised, I have to go." Loran Hill said, then looked around. She needed a weapon.

She hadn't carried a sword with her like the officers at the banquet earlier that night. While it wouldn't be difficult to take one out of her storage, it would reveal too much.

"Miss Messiah is looking for weapons." Before Sharin beside Roland could react, Wildwin guessed what the girl was thinking. This was because he had been fighting for many years and naturally understood the importance of carrying weapons at critical moments.

"I'm lending this sword to Miss Messiah. I hope you don't mind." As he said this, he untied his sword and handed it to Loran Hill.

"Well...thank you then." Now was not the time to be entangled, so Loran Hill did not refuse.

"As long as Miss Messia likes it, hehe." The red-clothed officer also smiled and seemed very satisfied with Messia's action of accepting his sword.

Shaking his head, not wanting to think about the strange meaning of this, Loranhill drew out his sword, waved it briefly, and continued to move forward.

Holding a torch, he walked through the cold and dark passage, and a long corridor appeared in front of him. There were many rooms on both sides of the corridor. Some of them were full of black and gray debris, which looked like some kind of rotten grain, and some were rusty fragments. It was estimated that weapons were stored here in the past. There were also rooms that were clearly visible, with only special magic circles engraved on the ground.
