Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1076
"Lord Xiaduo, this place has been searched many times by Rex and the others. Now let's go to an area that is suspected to be a warehouse. There are still protective spells there, and maybe there will be new gains there."

"can."

Rodite and the others had a plan, and Xia Duo was also happy and leisurely. Even due to the influence of the failure of the previous two exploration operations, Rodite and the others became extremely cautious this time.

Everywhere you go, you must first use force field spells to open the way, and then move on after separating a certain space, not to mention the lighting.

The bright light sphere matrix that flew out from the section of the [Glare Orb] never left the heads of Rodite and the others for even a second!

Enter through a portal on the left wall of the hall, and after passing through a long and narrow passage, the five of Rodit came to a room full of rubble.

It is not entirely accurate to say that it is a room, because there are no walls around here, only the hazy light and mist that gradually becomes stronger from near to far, and finally evolves into a pale giant screen.

Rodit unfolded the map in his hand, and after several comparisons, he said to everyone: "The terrain hasn't changed much. Behind this ruins should be the warehouse that Rex and the others failed to break through!"

"The crushed rocks on the ground have different shapes, and there will inevitably be blind spots for light, and it is not convenient to walk. Let's fly over!"

As he said that, Rodit took out a [Group Flight] scroll from the scroll box, blessed everyone, and then used a force field to clear the way, building a relatively spacious closed passage, and then flew over with everyone.

Xia Duo saw this scene through the soul link, and he had to sigh that Rodite and the others, who had become more cautious, really had no dead ends, but this also made him a lot easier.

It would be nice if it could be so easy until the end of the exploration!

……

In front of the stone door without any decoration, when he saw the magic aura flickering on the door, Rodit finally understood why the Rex team, who were obviously experienced relic hunters, couldn't handle this place.

And why after hundreds of years, the protective spells here still work!

"In addition to the protective spells in the original mage tower system, the element pool of this mage tower also appeared here for some unknown reason!"

As senior relic hunters specially trained by Lord Collins to explore real ancient relics, the Rex team is also educated in magic.

It's just that because they can't directly touch the deep magic net, they are far inferior to normal high-level mages in terms of actual observation and operation.

But as experienced relic hunters, they are far more sensitive than normal high-level mages in some aspects, such as the displacement of the element pool in front of them.

Maybe they don't understand the real reason behind this phenomenon, but they know that it is completely beyond their ability to explore the area behind the stone gate.

"Lord Xiaduo, look—"

"Go to other unexplored areas first, and I will think about it."

To be honest, Xia Duo has never seen such a strange situation!
There is no need to doubt whether there is a warehouse behind the stone gate. This is the relic left by the Nether mage in the discovery era, and it has only been hundreds of years ago.

Although there is no specific purpose marked on the door, it is not difficult to find that this place is most likely a warehouse through the understanding of the current Mage Tower.

Nowadays, Netheril's mage tower has the effect of folding space, which is considered rare. If this mage tower is intact, it may not be far behind today.

It may just be the lack of some new functions, such as [Plane Exploration Array], and other core components are completely fine.

Xia Duo felt that this place was weird, and it had nothing to do with whether it was a warehouse behind the stone gate. The real reason was that as a relatively sophisticated magical creation, the elemental pool magic circle of this mage tower was somehow stripped out.

It's just peeling off, that's all, but it is integrated with the protective system on this stone gate, and it is still operating in a very weird state of balance.

This is like, in a car, a cylinder of the engine is stripped out, connected to the headlights, and the headlights can also be made to shine.

Or, for an integrated circuit, one area is stripped and pasted on another area, but the circuit is still intact and the relevant functions still exist.

This is really weird.

Xia Duo guessed that either the blind cat encountered a dead mouse, and happened to bump into one of the countless possibilities that just makes the element pool and the protection system still work.

Or there is a more complex spatial form here. The element pool seems to appear here, but in fact it is still in place. It is just a spatial transformation, which makes people mistakenly think that there is a strange fusion.

Which one it is, we need to go to other areas with protective spells to see if it is the same as here in the warehouse.

……

Soon, Rodite and others came to the next unexplored area. According to the judgment of the Rex team, this place may still be a warehouse.

"Rex may be wrong about this place. I think this is more likely to be the private residence of a mage in the mage tower at that time."

Abner pointed to some scratches on the wall outside the door frame, and said, "If nothing else happens, this should be the trace left for the constant magic alarm (doorbell). If it is a warehouse, there is no need to do this."

Everyone agreed with Abner's judgment, but more questions came—

This door, or more precisely, the protection system of this area, is also integrated with the elemental pool.

Afterwards, Rodite and the others continued to check the remaining areas where protective spells still existed, and all of them merged with the element pool.

Among them, there are two areas that also look like the mage's private residence. The protection system there has become chaotic and collapsed, and its integration with the elemental pool is also in an unstable state. It seems that an elemental pouring accident may occur at any time.

……

Returning to the warehouse door closest to the entrance hall at the beginning, Rodit expressed his conjecture: "Could it be that the anomalies in these areas are due to some kind of emergency avoidance measures after the experiment failed at that time?

"Lord Xiaduo, what do you think?"

Sit and watch!
Originally, Xia Duo was indeed sitting and watching Rodite and the others in a relatively leisurely manner. If everything went well, it would even end in a leisurely sitting.

He could see that among Rodit's five people, Vigil probably came to play for a while, while Frank and Abner escorted Rodit, and Steele was the main force of this exploration operation.

Of course, this main force is more manifested in cracking the defense system of the mage tower.

It's a pity that although the defense system here seems not difficult to crack, it becomes more difficult because of the strange fusion state with the element pool.

Since Steele has remained silent until now, it can be seen how confident he is.

Because of this, Xia Duo became Rodit's last reliance. If Xia Duo is also helpless here, then this exploration will come to an end without a problem.

As for the next time, there may not be a next time.
