Deep!

The air is filled with the smell of decay and death!

When the five people passed through the portal, the first thing they saw was a huge, empty, and enclosed stone chamber.

From the thick dust on the ground and the dense spider webs on the walls and overhead, it is easy to tell that no one has been here for at least a hundred years.

Especially on the stone gate leading to the deep entrance, there are many exquisite and complex patterns, texts and murals carved, which seem to imply something.

"Where is this place?"

The half-orc Rhett looked around and asked in an uncertain tone.

"I don't know! But I can guarantee that it is somewhere in the Great Kalin Desert. Looking at those murals, texts and reliefs, they are obviously quite ancient."

Paladin Elolin quickly gave his own judgment.

As the only local present, she had some knowledge of her country's history.

Knowing that the symbols on the wall are completely different from any current language, they are actually an ancient language used by the Calishites long ago.

With this information, we can roughly determine the approximate time when this tomb was built.

Zuo Si approached the stone door and examined it carefully, and quickly added: “This is ancient Kalinshan letters.

It records a human who witnessed the elves using advanced magic to forcibly seal together countless warring wind giants and fire giants to form a huge gem.

Later, this human became a disciple of an elven wizard and learned advanced magical skills from him.

When he returned from his studies, he brought his knowledge and power to recruit and teach apprentices in his hometown, and established the first true magic academy in the Calishite region.

As time passed, even the [Wish Spell] could not maintain his old body, and he inevitably died.

His disciples built this secret tomb for him.

Since the murals repeatedly mention "Kelshan" and "Tavier Dynasty", I think this wizard has lived for at least two thousand years.

Because "Ke Lan Shan" is the name of the joint government established by the humans enslaved by the two giant empires after they overthrew the giants.

It is about 7,300 years old and has existed and lasted for hundreds of years.

This tomb was built about 4,000 years ago during the First Dynasty of Calimshan, also known as the Tavier Dynasty.”

"You can understand the ancient Calishite alphabet?!" Ai Luolin opened her mouth in surprise.

You have to know that this kind of ancient writing is basically not recognized by many people.

Even the most knowledgeable scholars and wizards in Calimport rarely spend a lot of effort to learn a language and writing that they have no use in their daily lives.

"That's about right. When I was bored, I read a book about the history, writing and language changes of Calishite, and I memorized all of it." Zuo Si explained casually.

For him, as long as the text, symbols and patterns do not carry magical power, they will be firmly remembered in the "Mind Library" as long as he takes a look at them.

So no matter how complex the language and text are, you never have to worry about forgetting them after reading them once.

"You consider reading this kind of book as a pastime?"

The half-orc Rhett was stunned with shock, his eyes full of horror as if he was looking at a horrible monster.

For a completely illiterate person like him who can only speak, write, and recognize the common language, he simply cannot imagine how dull and boring life would be if he immersed himself in the sea of ​​books all day long.

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "Why not? Don't you think it's interesting to learn about the ancient history and changes in language and writing that have been forgotten?"

Rhett shook his head without hesitation: "No! Not at all! I would rather find someone to fight with, or hide in a bar and drink for a day. Of course, fighting while drinking is not bad either."

"Haha! I totally agree with you! Big green-skinned guy, I'm starting to like you a little now." Alena laughed and patted the orc's shoulder.

Perhaps it was because he found a like-minded partner, Rhett immediately grinned happily.

Seeing these two unmotivated guys, Zuo Si sighed with a helpless look, quickly took out the [Fireball Wand] worth 39,000 gold coins from his bag, and stuffed it directly to the Pyromancer beside him.

"That's right! This wand is for you to use from now on. Remember! Every time you open a door or enter a new room or tomb, don't hesitate to cast a fireball. If you hear screams or other noises, cast another one."

Zuo Si raised the corner of his mouth meaningfully and stated his tactics.

Today he wants to let those behind the scenes see how powerful the "Kick-the-Door Group" and the "Fireball Cult" are.

No matter what kind of monsters, traps, or puzzles you have arranged, I will start by giving you a fireball to warm you up.

If one shot is not enough, then two, three, four...

Anyway, a [Fireball Wand] can store 50 rounds, which is equivalent to the power caused by a LV13 warlock releasing this spell.

Except for fire elementals, red dragons, and fire giants who are 100% immune to fire damage, the rest of the monsters will be half-dead if not killed after being hit by a few hits.

What's more, Zuo Si also has the Shadow Legion that can penetrate the walls to investigate the sealed tomb.

Hearing this, Alena immediately showed an excited and happy smile, and licked her sexy red lips with her tongue: "Great! This is my favorite master! Don't worry, I promise to burn them all."

"But what if this hurts innocent people?" Ai Luolin asked worriedly.

"Innocent people? Do you think any innocent person would go into this ancient tomb hidden deep in the desert? And the mastermind must have come in and rearranged the entire tomb before inviting me.

Even if there were innocent people, they would have been killed by them long ago.

So from now on, you can safely hack and slash at anything that comes out of the darkness, whether it's alive or dead."

After saying this, Zuo Si immediately took out a card and activated the spell stored in it.

moment!

A layer of protective force field was added around the bodies of everyone present.

[Magic Card: Group Mage Armor]

This is a third-level conjuration magic, basically no different from a first-level wizard armor.

The only difference is that the effect of the latter can only affect a single target, while the former can be applied to everyone around them.

Although orcs, soldiers, and paladins all wore armor, it was of little use to them.

However, it can resist touch attacks from incorporeal creatures, such as shadows, ghosts, and other undead creatures.

Because incorporeal creatures cannot easily pass through force fields.

With Zuo Si's level as a wizard, this spell can last for about five hours.

One blessing should be enough to complete this "game".

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Si used [Force Field Shield], [Resist Energy Damage], and [Real Illusion].

The first two are given to the soldiers at the front to increase their defense and fire resistance, while the latter copies a false phantom that is exactly the same as oneself and throws it into the team to deceive others.

As for himself, he unceremoniously used the [Invisibility Wand] to disappear from everyone's sight.

In addition, Zuo Si also used the [Light Magic] to create a mobile light source similar to a torch for lighting.

After everything was ready, the group pushed open the closed stone door and walked carefully along the dim steps into the depths of the tomb.

Thanks to the shadow assassin, Yelnia, who was leading the way, the two spike traps in the passage were quickly discovered and disarmed without causing any damage.

After all, she already had a certain level of thief, so tasks like detecting traps and disarming them were not difficult at all.

However, if you encounter a slightly more complicated magic trap, you will need to summon cannon fodder to step on it.
