Chapter 205 Sudden Discovery
Chapter 205 Sudden Discovery
After the two formed an alliance, their relationship was naturally different from before. Chris Donnell directly expressed his guess. He suspected that the Ant-Man altar was hidden somewhere in the academy, a place similar to a secret place.
"There are two locations that need attention, the Secret Realm of the Purple Dew Garden and the Ant-Man Barrier. You can start your search from these two points. Your superb enchanting ability is crucial, Wizard Ivan." Chris Donner said in a deep voice.
"It may not be easy to find it in the academy." Ivan frowned slightly. If it were that simple, he would not need to form an alliance.
"Don't worry. I've been running the academy for so long, I will definitely create the right opportunity for you. As long as we find the Ant-Man altar, we'll have a chance to turn the tables." Chris Donnell said.
Ivan nodded. He knew that the other party's strength had reached the critical point for promotion to level two. Perhaps if he found the Ant-Man Altar, he could become a level two wizard, and then he would be able to compete with the three major families.
His goal is to find Ant-Man's secret vault. The two are not in conflict, and it is also beneficial for the situation for the other party to become a second-level wizard.
"Okay, I'll do my best then."
"Haha, with a high-level enchanter like you joining us, we won't have to worry about not finding the Ant-Man Altar."
The two felt that they had met too late, and Chris Donner immediately promised to mobilize his connections to help him find a more detailed location of the Night Forest Magic Stone Mine, and to help him obtain more training resources in the future.
The Ward family's underground palace is quite large, and it has all kinds of arrangements, including family workshops, testing grounds, plantations, laboratory cultivation rooms, etc.
Unfortunately, they arrived too late and not a single hair was left.
When the two were about to finish their exploration, the glass mirror in Chris Donald's hand suddenly reacted, causing both of them to look stunned.
The two of them had not intended to investigate, and they never thought they would actually find something.
"Wizard Ivan, I leave it to you."
"no problem."
Ivan was quick to learn. Ever since he learned the Thousand Changing Star Symbol Array, opening these kinds of protected dark rooms or secret realms had become his strong point. The Five Leaf Spear mission probably also had considerations in this regard.
He took a few steps forward and placed his hand on the wall of the laboratory. After sensing for a moment, he took out the rune pen and elemental ink and began to carve rune lines directly on the wall.
After a while, a simple rune array took shape.
After activation, rune lines began to flow on the wall, and the wall began to wriggle, revealing a dark passage. More dense shadow particles could be detected in the passage.
Seeing that he was not bound by conventional means, Chris Donnell secretly praised him for finding the right person, and he had more confidence in finding the Ant-Man altar.
"It might be a trick. I'll go in and find out what's going on. You can come back later."
Chris Donald didn't hesitate to step into the dark passage. When he reached the dark room, a pale green light automatically lit up in the room, illuminating the surrounding area.
Ivan also came to the dark room and found that there were stone platforms in the room with coffins placed on them. There were nearly forty coffins in the whole room, and these coffins clearly showed signs of petrification.
The stone platforms and coffins are arranged in an orderly manner, surrounding a stone tablet in the middle.
"I'm lucky. There is a Twilight Stele here. I can take it back and report back." Chris Donald's eyes lit up and he recognized that the thing in front of him was a Twilight Stele.
This twilight stone tablet was only two meters high and one meter wide, and it exuded an aura that made the two men uncomfortable.
There are rune lines around the stone tablet, and the lines extend to the surrounding stone platforms, connecting each stone platform, making the dark room look like a place of sacrifice.
"Can you recognize these runes?"
"It's just a simple energy transfer rune, used to guide the power transfer on the stone tablet."
Hearing his question, Ivan carefully looked at the rune lines on the ground and found that they were not very complicated. Chris Donald nodded slightly. He also recognized it and felt that it would be safer to confirm it with Ivan, the enchantment master.
He opened a coffin in front of him, and inside lay a petrified wizard. It was not difficult to tell from the human-shaped stone sculpture that the man had been seriously injured.
"The people of the Ward family should have been sent here to be petrified when they were on the verge of death or even dead. Could it be that they want to revive their people in this way?"
"It is also possible that he wanted to explore the power of another world, and then explore that other dimension."
Wizards are also human beings with their own desires, such as the pursuit of power or immortality. They conduct all kinds of strange experiments, so the scene before them is not surprising.
It's nothing more than a plot to gain the power of shadow that Chris Donner mentioned.
Both of them were cautious people. They first checked whether there were other hidden rooms and arrangements around, and then opened the coffins in front of them one by one. They found nothing else. Apart from the petrified wizard, the Ward family did not put anything else in the coffins.
Their eyes fell on the small twilight stone tablet in the middle.
"Wizard Ivan, you hold the line for me."
The danger of the Dusk Stele is still unknown. Chris Donnell showed his responsibility as a leader and did not push the matter onto Ivan. He decided to collect the Dusk Stele himself.
This greatly improved Ivan's favor, and he returned to the entrance, maintaining smooth access to ensure that the two could escape calmly if they encountered danger that was difficult to resist.
When he stood not far from the Dusk Monument, Chris Donnell had a shield and a resealed scroll in his hands.
When the Dusk Stele was touched, a dangerous aura erupted.
A strange black light burst out from the stone tablet. That black light seemed to be able to devour everything, including light, but it was blocked by the shield in Chris Donald's hand.
After suppressing the dark light, he took the opportunity to uproot the Dusk Stele and put it into the Resealing Scroll.
At this moment, a strange black light splashed everywhere and fell on the surrounding lampstands. The lampstands immediately turned into white stone sculptures, and even the burning flames became the same.
Ivan, who was watching not far away, was horrified and thought to himself that it was a truly terrifying power.
"It was really dangerous." Chris Donner managed to seal the Dusk Stele without any danger.
"Nice shield." Ivan had sharp eyes and could tell that it was a high-level magical item, which was rare in the Moonclamp Peninsula.
"Haha, I spent a lot of effort to get this. I can't even remember how many dangers it has put me in." Chris Donner was a little proud. This shield was his favorite.
The stone tablet was successfully obtained. The two men left the dark room and walked out of the underground palace, preparing to go to the residence of another large family to see if they could find another Dusk Stone Tablet.
After the two left, there was a sudden sound in the silent dark room. A figure sat up from the coffin. The petrified state on his body quickly disappeared, and he gradually recovered into flesh and blood.
More figures around them sat up by clinging to the coffins.
"Damn it!"
"Kill them!"
Looking at the hole left after the stone tablet was pried away, the figure sitting in the coffin was furious, and seemed to be about to jump up and chase after the person who stole the stone tablet. However, before they could stand up, the petrified state once again covered their flesh and blood bodies, leaving behind a lifelike, angry face, silently accusing everything before their eyes.
After a few minutes, the lights around went out and the dark room was once again submerged in darkness.
