In this way, with all kinds of doubts about the mysterious insight organization in their hearts, the two prepared to walk to the second floor of the tower, trying to explore this tower that was becoming more and more unpredictable in their eyes.

Stepping on the dusty marble floor, Thorne walked, gazing at the footprints he had just left from chasing the clay golem.

Suddenly, his expression changed, as if thinking of something that puzzled him.

I saw him stop directly, turned around and walked to Andrina, and asked her: "You said that under normal circumstances, the towers built by wizards will build some underground secret rooms at the bottom."

This is not a random guess by him. In this other world, from the royal family to the commoners, when they build houses, most of them will choose to build basements, in order to store supplies or hide some ulterior secrecy.

That's why he would guess whether these wizards living in the tower have such a hobby. If so, maybe they can find some valuable things in the secret room. Since they are here to explore the tower, they naturally have to search carefully. Again, to prevent omissions.

And that's what wizards left behind, and it's not surprising to find something of great value.

"Underground room?"

Andrina glanced at Thorne and immediately understood what he meant, so after pondering for a while, Pestle said softly:

"The towers where wizards live are distributed in layers, and there is no shortage of available rooms, and in order to resist enemy invasion, they also like to arrange various dangerous triggered protection spells inside.

Every room can be converted into a secret room for guarding valuables if they so desire, so-called underground secret rooms are not necessary for wizards unless..."

"Unless what?" Thorne saw that the other party was hesitating to speak, so after thinking about it, he subconsciously guessed: "Unless it is to build an element pool?"

"Yes, but after testing the constant detection spell device in the tower just now, I found that its strength is not as terrible as I imagined, otherwise it will not be destroyed by me.

So I don't think this tower has the ability to build elemental pools at all, and even the most commonly used guard constructs are only two clay golems. "

Andrina gave Thorne a slightly surprised look, apparently surprised that he could guess this question.

Then she nodded slightly to indicate that Thorne's guess was right, but she did not agree with his point of view, and analyzed to him:

"The element pool is a magic power supply device invented by the wizards in order to facilitate the normal operation of the wizard tower. It uses the element channel mechanism to generate magic power through the surging of elements, and gather it into the constructed element pool to store it.

Finally, it is transported to the interior of the entire wizard tower through the energy transport line, which can be said to be the source of energy supply for the entire wizard tower. "

"It's like a generator." Thorne understood Andrina's explanation and came up with a good metaphor.

"Forget it, but the first floor of this tower looks very empty. Except for the two clay golems and a detection spell device that are still functioning normally, all other magic lights are extinguished due to the exhaustion of energy. That means they don't have the energy supply of the element pool at all."

Out of the corner of Andrina's eyes, she noticed Thorne's serious listening look, recalling the materials she had read before, and continued to explain to him in detail:

"You have to know that a normal element pool, as long as the operation efficiency is not high, does not have to worry about the energy exhaustion in the pool, and if the element pool is not damaged, it is normal to operate for more than a thousand years.

However, this tower cannot supply the energy of even the simplest magic lighting, so there must be no elemental pool. "

"It makes sense to listen to your analysis, but don't forget that people are unpredictable. Maybe the wizards living here have this hobby of liking the basement. Only practice is the only criterion for testing the truth."

After pondering for a moment, Thorne said as he slipped a wooden sacred emblem engraved with five-star paw prints from the sleeve of his left arm to his palm and said, "So I still want to confirm whether your inference is right or wrong. "

"Then why are you asking so many questions, it's boring."

Andrina glared at him angrily, then stood there, looking at Thorne's so-called practice with interest.

——“One Ring of Magic: Earth Vein Detection!”

With Thorne's whispers in the tower, the wooden holy emblem that was pressed against his eyebrows gradually showed a faint light green brilliance, flickering in the darkness.

Then, under the guidance of Thorne, these pale green radiance spread from around him at a very fast speed.

It went on like this for a while.

Thorne slowly opened his eyes, and at the same time began to recall the exploration images that appeared in his mind.

"How? Did you find the underground chamber?" Andrina asked after noticing that Thorne had put away the wooden holy emblem.

"There is really an underground secret room below." Thorne said slightly surprised.

"Is it the Elemental Pool?" Andrina looked at Thorne with a change of expression when she heard the words.

"This magical technique can only survey the locations of surrounding towns, villages, mountains and rivers, and various ruins. As for their detailed information, you need to go and explore." Thorne shook his head slightly.

After Thorne finished speaking, he immediately began to search for the mechanism to open the passage to the underground secret room in the empty tower.

Apart from some simple stone tables and benches, there are no superfluous buildings in the tower. The most striking thing is the mysterious runes on the walls that are very similar to the Insight Organization.

So Thorne and Andrina split up to find a hidden agency somewhere.

When Thorne observed the mysterious runes on three walls in a row in the tower, and then walked to the fourth wall, he finally found something strange on the wall.

In the lower right corner of the wall, Thorne noticed a raised button with a square hole on the inside and a circle on the outside, resembling a copper coin.

The diameter of this raised stone button is about 10cm. From the gap marks around the button, it can be found that as long as it is pressed lightly, it should be easily activated.

Then Thorne immediately greeted Andrina, who was not far away. After checking the detection spell of the other party, after confirming that there was no problem, Thorne pressed it directly.

"Long! Long! Long!"

The moment the button was activated, there was a dull sound in the inner corner of the tower, and a smooth marble floor trembled and was slowly opened, revealing a deep passage for people to pass through.

In just a moment, Thorne smelled a smell like decaying corpses spreading in the tower, and as time passed, the smell overflowing from the passage became heavier and heavier.

Andrina, who couldn't stand the smell of corruption, frowned directly and covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves to relieve it.

"Let's go." After a while, noticing that the overflowing smell was almost dissipated, Thorne greeted Andrina beside him.

When the two walked to the deep underground passage, Thorne stopped and did not go in immediately, but began to observe cautiously.

This underground passage is not as winding and winding as imagined. It is a stone step with an inclination of about 60 degrees, and the straight passage reaches the deep underground depths.

"Be careful, I feel a strong aura of death lingering in it, I'm afraid it's not as simple as a secret room." Andrina resisted the smell of decay and walked to Thorne to remind.

Thorne nodded when he heard the words, and then looked in the direction of the passage and pondered for a moment.

Immediately after a thought, he waved his hand gently, and the light of the summoning circle appeared in front of his eyes, and a small fire elemental creature from the element plane was summoned in front of him.

The moment the fire element appeared, it immediately made a sound like a fireball burst to brush the sense of existence, and then its own lighting characteristics instantly illuminated the surroundings like daylight.

Under the control of Thorne's mind, this small fire element took the lead to walk into the deep passage.

As the fire element moved forward step by step, the surrounding terrain was clearly displayed in front of Thorne's eyes.

So Thorne waved to Andrina beside him, motioning her to follow, and followed the footsteps of the fire element and walked into the passage.

Although the fire element moved forward unimpeded, Thorne, who followed behind, still did not dare to relax his vigilance.

I saw him holding a short sword and carefully stepping over each step. When he saw that some steps were seriously deformed due to the erosion of the years, he would let Andrina, who was following behind him, cast a detection spell to detect it.

After all, this is a tower left by a group of wizards. Although it has been abandoned by them, Thorne still dare not be careless, especially this kind of hidden underground passage.

In this way, with Thorne's beating all the way and Andrina's frequent flickering spells, the two walked through this not very long stone-stairs passage without any risk.

When the two walked the entire stone steps, they came to the end.

"This……"

Under the light of the fire element, Andrina suddenly noticed the terrifying and tragic scene not far away, she couldn't help exclaiming, and her hands involuntarily grasped Thorne's arm.

Feeling the force coming from his arm, Thorne could guess the sorceress's inner tension without turning around to observe, so he gently patted the other's arm with his other hand, comforting her slightly.

"It's just a pile of bones, don't be so afraid."

Thorne looked at the scene in front of him and noticed that the other party had let go of his arm, so he comforted Andrina in a relaxed tone.

"Is this a pile?" Andrina calmed down her ups and downs, and said in a trembling voice: "I am afraid there are at least 100 people in the skeleton piled here. What happened here?"

"Are you scared?" Seeing the other party's expression, Thorne suddenly wanted to laugh, so he asked subconsciously.

"No." Sorceress Andrina looked at the infiltrating skeleton and said stubbornly.

"Then be careful when you go." Thorne reminded her, then stepped on the rotten bones and made a clicking sound, and walked forward.

"Wait a moment." Andrina looked at the skeleton that was smashed by Thorne, she hesitated for a while, and finally stopped Thorne's footsteps and said, "Can you clear these things in the way first? ."

"Didn't you walk through the sewers of Winter City? And when he was in the ruins of Talan Village, the gnoll priest also summoned a lot of skeletons. Why haven't I seen you afraid." Thorne finished, and began to look around. environment.

At this time, the space of the underground secret room where the two were located was almost the same as that above the tower, and the walls of the secret room were all inlaid with thick marble.

But what makes Thorne strange is that it is also empty, and there is nothing but a pile of rotten bones in front of him.

"Didn't you find it?" At this time, Andrina, who was still afraid to approach, whispered to Thorne, who was in deep thought, from a distance: "These skeletons all look like children's."

"Children's?" Thorne looked startled, picked up a skull to examine it carefully, then shook his head and said, "This is not left by a child, but a kind of underground dwarf."

"Aren't you surprised that there are so many skeletons of underground dwarfs here?" Anderina's expression softened a little when she heard the words, but there was still a hint of fear in her eyes.

"It's really weird." Thorne squatted on the ground and said to himself with a confused look, "Could it be that someone is performing some evil ritual here?"

"When you didn't come in just now, you didn't say that you felt the strong dark energy, you continued to use the detection spell to check." Thorne, who didn't quite understand, said to Anderina not far away.

"No need to check, those exuberant dark energy emanates from this pile of bones." Andrina said directly.

Hearing the other party's certain words, Thorne took out his long sword and began to rummage among the piles of bones on the ground to see if he could find any new clues.

"Huh?" Suddenly, after Thorne removed all the bones, he actually found a metal sheet that was still intact, and it seemed to have recorded something.

So he picked it up with curious eyes, and then wiped off the dust on the metal sheet with his sleeve, and rows of tiny continental common words were clearly displayed on the metal sheet:

Windpaw Moon (April) 15: I hate living like a mole in a moldy cave, but I can't help it, our underground guards are dead, and we really have nowhere to go.

The humans are here again, they killed the old digger with a blast of flames, as he tried to protect us with the pickaxe in his hand, the evil humans took all the aunts and uncles with just a wave of his hand.

My father said we must try to pray to our patron saint Gal, which I did, but to no avail. Humans keep coming back to take our people away, Gal must be very angry with me, so he didn't respond to me, but my father comforted me and said no, is that so? Bastard Gal!

Windclaw 20: We've been running underground tunnels for days, I'm sorry, I cursed Gal, but I really don't know what else to do, I'll be an adult next year, but maybe that A day never comes back.

Windclaw 25: Today, I am finally reunited with my captured aunts and uncles here, but they don't look like me anymore.

Their skin was lumpy and yellowish-gray, their hair was red, and their arms were long and thin.

When the aunts and uncles saw me, they laughed out loud and started to get bigger and bigger, even bigger than that human, they said that the crawlers had been given a new life by humans.

I can't escape, I hate you! Gal!
