The Dean Has Arrived

"Dean, is it really okay to entrust such an important matter to Mr. Edric?"

Mrs. Lauren looked at the dark hole in the hanging picture that was still glowing with a faint blue light. The wrinkles on her face seemed to be squeezed together. She asked Bruno who was also staring at the hole beside her.

From the old woman's point of view, although Xi Wei did possess a strength that ordinary mid-level magicians could hardly match, he was still too young after all. Many times, when exploring ancient ruins, the biggest discoveries are not those powerful land reclamation magicians, but the academic magicians who entered the ruins after that.

Although the profession of a magician places great emphasis on talent, personal efforts are also indispensable. Xi Wei's strength and adaptability in actual combat made Mrs. Lauren very sure that he must be the kind of radical who keeps improving through actual combat - in fact, most traveling mages are the same as Xi Wei , focusing on actual combat rather than theory.

And non-stop actual combat will inevitably take a lot of time, plus meditation, contact and magic learning, I am afraid there will not be much time left for Xi Wei to learn other things, so in places like ruins, he who has not studied systematically It must be hard to find something useful.

It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Lauren said the above words to express her worry.

However, this old woman with a good ear naturally doesn't know that Xi Wei actually has the cheat of the college system, and the relics in miscellaneous studies are already level 3...

"Since we called him here, we must give him a certain degree of trust."

Bruno seemed very calm. He took out a small square table and a reclining chair from nowhere, and sat on it carelessly like that, while making tea for himself with a teapot that also appeared out of nowhere, while talking.

"Furthermore, besides trusting him now, do you have any other choice?"

Rather than being caught by the Mage Association, it's better to pin your hopes on Xi Wei who knows everything.

What's more, they didn't have excessive expectations for this treasure from the beginning, because Bruno himself is a great magician. Even if you look at the Pan-Human United Alliance, there are countless strong people. Unless there is really a mage's handbook written by the legendary great mage Klapach Lange, it doesn't matter what is in the treasure. It will have no effect on him. And to be honest, he didn't think that the legendary great mage would put all his life's experience and comprehension in a treasure.

"Well, I've been taught. I was too reckless." Mrs. Lauren was not that stubborn. Immediately accepting Bruno's explanation, she nodded to Bruno and reflected.

"It's okay, anyway, we just need to wait patiently... Do you want a glass of Darjeeling?"

Bruno stroked his beard and drank black tea leisurely. He even shook the black tea jar at Mrs. Lauren, and asked braggingly, "In 1977, tea cakes from Boluofeier."

"Well, Mr. Dean, black tea is different from red wine. It doesn't mean that the longer you keep it, the better."

After thinking about it, Mrs. Lauren still said to Bruno: "Darjeeling in 1977 is probably moldy."

Then she heard the sound of Bruno spraying tea...

***

Something suddenly fell to the ground, making a muffled bang that wasn't too loud. It is particularly eye-catching in a dark and silent environment.

after awhile. Xi Wei just stood up from a pile of unknown plants. While rubbing his painful waist from the fall, he opened his eyes wide and tried hard to look at the surrounding environment.

After breaking into the trap door, Xi Wei found that the magic elements inside were in a strange state. To put it nicely, it's stable, but to put it bluntly, it's lifeless. Absolutely no vitality at all.

It was precisely because of this that Xi Wei couldn't grasp the wind element at all. During the more than a minute of the fall, he couldn't even use the floating technique well, and finally managed to slow down the speed of the fall. It also hit here like a human shell.

There is no light in the ground, and I am afraid that even cats who are good at night vision can't see anything ugly in this kind of place.

So he could only try to separate the fire element from the magic element in the air that was so stable that it was almost turning into a puddle, and launched a ring of fire element magic whirling flame arrows.

The light of the flame, which was half smaller than the normal state, suddenly illuminated where Xi Wei was.

It was a place like an underground mausoleum. The ceiling was pitch black, but the height was definitely more than five or six meters high. You couldn't even see where the trap door was located, and the surroundings were full of cracked stone walls.

There are murals on the walls, but the color has almost faded. In addition, many crystal clusters about the thickness of a thumb can be seen where many cracks are located. In addition, many vines of unknown species are also scattered throughout the tunnel. The dark green vines and palm-sized leaves not only do not add much greenness to the tunnel, but also bring a sense of depressing terror to people.

But if it wasn't for the fact that there were many such vines growing where Xi Wei fell as a buffer, he might have to be on the ground in pain for a long time before he could stand up.

The range of the firelight is very small, only about seven or eight meters away from Xiwei. If it exceeds this distance, everything will be swallowed by darkness and become extremely unreal.

There was darkness on both sides of the tunnel, and it was impossible to determine which way to go was the right one, so Xi Wei made a mark on the spot, chose a direction at random, and walked forward with the whirling flame arrow.

Xi Wei walked very carefully, for fear that a Minotaur would suddenly appear. But the facts proved that he was still worrying too much. After walking through the maze-like tunnels for a long time, not to mention monsters, he didn't even see a mouse or cockroach.

Considering that this is only a demiplane, it is not incomprehensible.

After letting go of his doubts and maintaining the necessary vigilance, Xi Wei moved much faster than before.

Then when he was about to be dazed by the maze that didn't make much difference no matter where it was, he suddenly found a huge iron door somewhere in the maze.

The huge arched iron door of the double door was covered with traces of rust. After carefully checking that there was no magic attached to the door, Xi Wei tried to push it, but found that even if he tried his best, the iron door would not move at all. , it seems that it has been completely rusted to death...

Then Xi Wei used the Master's hand again, and increased the force to the point where even the car could be easily lifted and pushed the door hard. To his surprise, the iron door still did not loosen at all.

This also made Xi Wei die of the idea of ​​opening the door gently, and directly replaced it with magic blunt attack, and began to bombard the door with the magic known as the' battering ram'.

Of course, because it's still underground. It's impossible for Xi Wei to really open it with all his strength, and just adjust the magic power to the maximum and blast through it without asking - in case the door has not been opened, the tunnel will not be able to withstand the impact. It would be a lot of fun if there was a landslide, he doesn't know how to liquefy the ground or pass through walls, etc. to survive underground...

Even though the power of magic has been controlled, every time the iron door is hammered, a lot of gravel and dregs will fall from the ceiling. It made Xi Wei nervous.

Fortunately, the iron door itself was not as strong as imagined. Just as Xi Wei was considering whether to burn it with a blazing flame, the iron door let out an overwhelmed groan, and was smashed open by the magic blunt blow.

Inside was a spacious and huge room, which gave Xi Wei, who had been wandering in the tunnel for a long time, a feeling of another village.

There are many round metal pieces piled up in the room. However, because of the continuous dripping of water from the ceiling, the metal sheets that were piled directly on the ground were already rusted into disrepair.

Even so, Xi Wei pulled out a few that were barely intact.

It is engraved with a coat of arms similar to the one on the trap door, and there is also the national emblem of the Horian Empire-although it is slightly different from the current national emblem, it is still easy to recognize.

From the material point of view, it should feel like a small amount of gold mixed with iron alloy.

Obviously, this is a black gold coin minted by a member of the Lange family who owned a fief in the Middle Ages.

So many black gold coins should have been a huge fortune in that era, but now they are obviously nothing more than worthless metals containing trace amounts of gold...

It seems that this should be a treasure.

Xi Wei looked at the messy things in the room. There is a subtle emptiness in my heart.

It's like trying to get through a maze in a game. Outside the final boss room, replenishing blood, replenishing demons and filling up various states, morale was high, and he rushed in full of fighting spirit, but the boss didn't see it, but the producer list jumped out of the subtle feeling...

If I had known earlier that I would not hold back my hands on the trap door, I would have just shot and blasted that giant monster!

Skip these black gold coins that take up a lot of space in the room. Xi Wei found some magic weapons in the room, but unfortunately, except for a few with anti-rust enchantment. Other weapons and armor have been stored in such a dark and humid place for so many years, and they have already rusted to the point of being unusable.

And the few usable ones are just whiteboard equipment in the appraisal of the academy system. The only thing that can be called excellent is a two-handed axe. Xi Wei tried several times but failed to lift it up. Instead, it almost fell to his waist. In the end, he could only put it in the bronze storage box depressedly—— Nima, this is not the weapon that Faye should use!

After that, Xi Wei couldn't find anything else in the room.

"...Where is the promised treasure!? Can such a little thing be considered a treasure!"

Not reconciled, Xi Wei continued to search the room twice, but still did not find anything else including the rumored mage's manuscript.

"Did it rot because it was soaked in water?"

Xi Wei bit his finger, looked at the sewage on the ground, and muttered aggrievedly. He desperately rushed through the trap door, wandered around in the maze for so long, but in the end he only got such a small amount of things, it was too anticlimactic.

Thinking of this, Xi Wei suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know what was wrong.

So he was not in a hurry to leave, and began to frown in the room to organize his thoughts, trying to catch the thought that flashed by just now.

"Principal Bruno asked me to explore the treasure, so I found such a pile of rags, and then he is going to say that I have embezzled the treasure, and wants to do something to me?... No, no, he really doesn't need to do it to me This kind of reason. This way of thinking is wrong.”

"Could it be that someone has come to this treasure before and took away the most valuable things? But there were no traces of other people along the way. If he specifically erased the traces, then It’s too perfect... The possibility of this is too small, it’s still to be determined. Let’s try another way.”

"No matter what someone does, there should be a corresponding motive. Then what is the motive of Klapach Lange leaving this treasure?" Xi Wei vaguely felt that he seemed to have a clue: "Black gold coins and regular coins Gold coins are different. With changes in the laws of the empire, changes in feudal lords, etc., they can easily become worthless, and it is not normal to pass them down as treasures. The limitations of this currency. Greg couldn't have imagined it."

"Magic items are not bad, but the original attributes and enchantments of these items are not very good. In the era of Klapach Lange, human beings have just undergone a great migration, although the level of magic civilization may not be as good as modern .But because of survival and war, the number of magic items far exceeds that of modern times, and such a few things are not considered treasures at all.”

"Then what is the reason why he left this treasure that is not considered a treasure...or is he planning to use this 'treasure' to cover up something else?"

Thinking of this, Xi Wei took out the dark night sphere, summoned those shadow servants, and let them start beating on the ground, looking for possible mechanisms.

As expected. After the shadow servants cleaned up the rusted coins, the stone brick below was indeed strange.

In fact, the reason why the room was not completely flooded was because water seeped through the gaps around the stone brick, which should obviously be empty below.

So he immediately directed the shadow servant to lift the stone brick away.

At the moment when the stone brick was lifted, a magical power full of holiness shot up from the hollow under the stone brick, and the few shadow servants who couldn't avoid it seemed to have fallen into the aqua regia. In less than a few seconds, it has been melted in the sacred magic power. Not even scum.

Xi Wei noticed that at the edge of the hole, where there was nothing before, it seemed to be frozen, and the crystal-like crystals on the outer wall appeared.

Xi Wei hesitated for a moment, then put the dark night sphere back into the storage box, and carefully inserted his hand into the sacred magic power.

Although it was a different kind of magic power, that magic power did not cause any harm to Xi Wei. On the contrary, it gave him a warm and comfortable feeling like being irradiated by the sun.

After confirming that this magic power is harmless to him-at least when he does not hold the dark night sphere. Xi Wei just jumped in from the hole.

The feeling of putting the whole body in the sacred magic is like taking a bath. It's very comfortable, but now is obviously not the time to enjoy it. Xi Wei observed the surrounding situation vigilantly. The cave was still a narrow tunnel, and there were ice-like crystals on the top, bottom, left, and right sides, but he didn't know why there was no crystallization at the entrance. Probably there was some magic to prevent crystallization Array exists.

But compared to this, Xi Wei was more interested in the source of the divine magic around him.

To be honest, Xi Wei didn't believe that this kind of magic power would be released by a certain existence, because the amount of magic power was too huge. Just the part that Xi Wei sensed now, even if the four white-clothed archbishops, the Priestesses and the current pope were tied together in the pure white Holy See in the eastern plain, the amount of their holy light and magic power would not be as holy as this. half the magic.

If it weren't for the lack of hostility in this magic power, Xi Wei might turn around and run away when he sensed this terrifying magic power...

It is also because of this kind of sacred magic power that fills the entire space, all the magic elements disappear, even the ether does not exist, it is probably because of the relationship between this kind of magic power that is dialyzed from the soil layer, the outside Only the elements can show that extremely stable state, and the crystals on the cracks in the wall can also be explained clearly.

In fact, the current situation is not very favorable for Xi Wei.

The Void King's Fist only has one shot due to the number of elemental crystal fragments, and the Void Demon Sword is a big energy-consuming, and it won't last long like Bumpman's transformation.

In addition, his strongest attack method, all the fire element magic in the front of the Radiant Flame, has been abolished. Even because there is no wind element, he can't even fly. Risk and people fight on the ground!

Because of the crystallization, although the ground is not as slippery as the ice surface, it is also very difficult to walk on. In addition, the ground is already rough, and the ice surface is also uneven. If it is not for the warm feeling that surrounds you, Xi Wei even had the illusion that he was climbing a snow mountain.

Fortunately, the road was not long, and soon Xi Wei came to the exit of the tunnel and slipped down from there...

"Damn it, it's actually a slope——!"

Xi Wei's terrified voice carried a series of Doppler effects all the way down.

Fortunately, the road was not long, and it didn't take long for Xi Wei to bump into a raised crystal and stop.

"It hurts." Although the levitation technique was activated subconsciously, but because there was no wind element, the magic had no effect at all.

Xi Wei rubbed his head and stood up from the ground, then was stunned by the sight in front of him.

A black-haired girl with twin ponytails stared at him expressionlessly.

The girl has a delicate face and a slender body. The pure white dress perfectly sets off her dusty temperament, and the bow tie on the back makes her completely free from the emptiness of otherworldly fireworks, which adds a lot of cuteness. The delicate collarbone And the exposed jade feet are especially able to attract the attention of men.

However, these are not the most striking features of the girl. What really surprised Xi Wei was the almost translucent body of the girl...
