Chapter 82: Tunnel Exploration (Part 2)
"I'm afraid this is the only way. If it still doesn't work, I'll have to inform Teacher Nancy."
Looking at the metal gate in front of her, Pekara also took out a piece of earth-attributed magic crystal, her tone somewhat conflicted.
Putting aside the reason for trying to contact Avis, she still liked the thrill of treasure hunting.
"You can try, but I don't think it's very likely."
Avis spread his hands and prepared to cast a spell.
Soon, an invisible magical field enveloped a small section of the wall to the right of the gate. The solid rock layer softened and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into blue-gray mud.
When casting spells at the same time, the difference in strength between the three was very intuitively reflected.
Claire is the strongest at level three. Wherever her spell reaches, the hard blue-gray steel rock softens and collapses at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Avis is slightly inferior. Although his strength level is strictly speaking still at the first level, his digging speed is only slightly lower than Claire's.
Turn fossils into mud, a third-level transformation spell, can enhance the spell effect by consuming earth-attribute magic crystals.
The degree of enhancement varies depending on the quality of the magic crystal.
Perhaps Claire's strength is higher than Avis's, but what she has in her hand is only a standard magic crystal, while Avis uses high-quality magic crystal, so the actual spell effects of the two are similar.
Pekara is the weakest, and at the first level her talent is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary genius.
Although she also used high-quality magic crystals for amplification, the softening speed of the rock after her spell landed on the wall was still significantly slower than that of the other two.
A blue diamond ring shimmered between her fingers, further amplifying the effectiveness of her spells so that she would not fall too far behind the other two.
But when they dug to the same level as the gate, the same metal material blocked the magic of the three people.
The gate is matched with the wall.
"It seems that if we don't invite Teacher Nancy here, we may not be able to get through here."
Staring at the dark metal wall, Claire sighed and raised her hand to comb behind her ears a few strands of golden hair that had fallen to her ears due to the spellcasting action.
"But if we go to see Teacher Nancy, the primary ownership of the items inside will have nothing to do with us..."
Pekara was also a little discouraged. Looking at the broken wall in front of her that was in the way, she couldn't help but kick it up angrily.
The next moment, her little face wrinkled suddenly, she squatted down slightly and covered her toes, tears in her eyes.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, there may not be anything good in here. I want to go in just to satisfy my curiosity."
Claire comforted Pekara in her ethereal voice. She was very open-minded about it. After all, this place had existed for millions of years.
Even if some important items were once stored there, they have most likely turned to dust over the long years.
"Calm down, both of you. Needless anxiety won't help solve the problem."
Looking at Pekara's unintentional cute behavior, Avis took a breath and controlled his facial expression slightly.
Just keep smiling; laughing out loud is not polite.
"According to my observation, the material of this door should be Finir alloy. This alloy is almost immune to all kinds of elemental magic and is very strong, but it is not without flaws."
"So, what are its disadvantages?"
She held back her tears and threw a healing ball at her little feet. Her cute white toes wrapped in lace white socks moved a few times. When she didn't feel the pain anymore, Pekara once again became a curious baby.
"Don't worry, Pekkala. Let me first explore the terrain structure nearby."
As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the wall, pressed his left hand in a pure white glove on the rock formation at the edge of the metal wall, and activated a magic ring on his ring finger.
A faint golden light emanated from the ring, and an invisible low-frequency magical wave condensed and spread rapidly in the surrounding rock formations.
As the range of the fluctuation continued to expand, the surrounding terrain gradually appeared in Avis's perception in the form of a three-dimensional model.
In the center of this model, there is a rectangular box-shaped blank.
The magical ripples could not penetrate the high-density magic-averse alloy walls, but they were enough to explore the surrounding terrain structure.
Contrary to Avis's expectation, there was no other passage leading to the "box" except the passage they came from.
In other words, this is a magical version of the 'Chamber of Secrets'.
"I explored the surrounding terrain and found that there seemed to be a cube wrapped in Finel alloy in front of us. Unfortunately, there is no other passage nearby except the road we came from."
Letting go of the wall, Avis stretched out his hands to the two girls.
"What kind of magic is that, Avis?"
But Claire did not pay attention to the cube mentioned by Avis at first. Instead, she became very interested in the magic he used.
Hooked——
Avis' heart moved.
The ring came with a spell called Listen to Secrets, which was created by a guest of the family who specialized in the sonic branch of the School of Evocation.
This is a fourth-order spell that can continuously release low-frequency magic vibrations and determine the boundaries of the detection medium through repeated refraction of the vibrations in the detection medium.
According to the contract, the family recorded the spell model and casting method in the library after paying a price.
The guest official was restricted by the contract and was forbidden to teach the spell to others for the second time.
Thinking about the next step, Avis answered her questions with a normal expression.
"Listen to the secret words, a fourth-level sonic detection magic of the Evocation School. Through the vibration of the magical ripples, the terrain within a certain range can be transmitted to the caster's mind in the form of a projection."
"Listen to the secret words?"
Claire was stunned for a moment. Although it was the first time she heard of this spell, it did not prevent her from being attracted to it.
Exploring terrain on a large scale, this is definitely a must-have spell for explorers!
Pecora was also a little curious. Since her father was one of the giants of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce Alliance, Pecora had seen many rare spells by chance, but this spell was also the first time she heard of it.
"Can you teach me this spell? I will pay you a price that satisfies you."
Claire spoke immediately, staring at Avis with her charming big blue eyes without blinking.
But to her disappointment, Avis slowly shook his head.
This is a weight, and he intends to whet Claire's appetite first in order to increase its weight in Claire's heart.
"I'm sorry, Senior Claire, that is our family's secret method and is not passed on to others."
“I see…”
The girl nodded with a hint of disappointment, and Pecara felt a little shocked, but she also felt that it was reasonable.
Thanks to Xiaoyuguanlang and Xia Jizhijia for the reward——
