Chapter 221: The dust is covered for thousands of years

With a creaking sound, the door that had been covered with dust for countless years was pushed open, stirring up dust all over the floor.

Alex shook his hand gently, and the wind element formed a strong vortex in his hand, quickly sucking away all the drifting dust.

The dust disappeared, and a staircase that was so dark that it could not be seen after the door was revealed, extending downwards.

Lilith and the director of the discipline looked at the stairs behind the door in a daze. They never knew that there was a secret room under the basement of the torch tower.

This is the basement under the torch tower of the Central Main Teaching Building. It is the most mysterious one among the many forbidden areas of Belkin College. Even the director of the dean and Lilith have been here for a few times.

And they didn't even know about this secret room in the basement.

The key to the secret room was in Alex's hands, and only he knew the existence of this place.

"Where is inside?" Looking at the unfathomable staircase, Lilith felt a little scared and asked in a low voice. No matter how high the status is, she is still just a woman, and her nature resists such dark and gloomy places.

"I don't know either." Alex said quietly. The secret of this secret room was passed down from his teacher. Before his death, the teacher told me that he would never open this secret room before the critical moment of life and death of mankind, so even he came here for the first time.

The existence here has been buried for too long, so long that if it weren't for the invasion of the abyss monster, Alex himself would have forgotten it.

"This secret room is the oldest building in the entire academy. It already existed before the academy." Alex said: "Even my teacher, Fili Gallery, has not been in it, nor has his teacher. It is said that it has been passed down here for more than a dozen people, and no one has ever been in it, so no one knows what will be inside. But I guess it may be something related to the war between the three clans."

Lilith and the director of the discipline were both tight. The three tribes' war is a very long name, so long that it is almost impossible to know if such a war has actually happened. Now more descriptions of this war can only appear from literary works such as legends, myths, epics, etc., which cannot be verified. These descriptions are not academically recognized.

Only precise texts and physical evidence can prove the existence of this history, but most of these texts and physical objects are destroyed in the dust of history, or are strictly preserved by certain forces, and do not appear in public places. Even now, many humans have never heard of the history of the Three Tribes War.

People of Alex, Lilith and the Director of the Dean naturally know some secret history. They have all heard such a song:

Wearing with the magical sage and holding the Burning Heaven Scepter, he walked down from the chariot and took the first step, the heat waves rolled, the second step, the earth was shaking, and the third step was the wind and clouds changed color. He stopped, the stars all over the sky fell on earth, and millions of barbarians were wiped out...

When I think of this song, I realized that Alex, who is not young, couldn't help but feel excited. What a powerful force it was.

However, why does this secret room have a ban that is not allowed to be opened until the moment of life and death? It's really strange. Are the things stored in it so shocking that they can't be taken out casually?

The staircase and the door behind were engraved with magic patterns, which isolated all magic reactions. Seeing these runes, the director of the dean suddenly realized: "No wonder people have been unable to sense the elemental changes in this position. Everyone thought it was just because of the elemental interference of the Magic Torch Tower. I didn't expect there would be such a secret room here."

"The establishment of the Magic Torch Tower may be to cover up the existence here." Lilith said.

With a hint of curiosity, Alex blew a light fireball and said to the director: "You are here to guard and don't let people get close."

This is the forbidden area, and only the dean of Belkin College is qualified to enter. Alex is the former dean and Lilith is the current dean.

"Yes, Dean." The dean of the dean of the director died for a confidant. In fact, he was old and a mature man, and he was not interested in everything in the secret room. He had passed the age of curiosity and deeply realized the truth that the more secrets he knew, the more dangerous it was.

Looking at the measurable steps in the abyss, Lilith hesitated for a moment before following Alex's footsteps.

In order to divert attention, Lilith focused her attention on the stairs, counting every next level, until three thousand times before they stepped onto the flat ground.

Looking up, an iron door that was four meters high and looked extremely thick blocked the way. On both sides of the iron door were carved with a fire demon and an immortal bird. They were all lifelike and almost like a real thing to walk out of the iron door.

From the very first glance, Alex and Lilith both changed their expressions.

The flame demon and the immortal bird on the iron gate were not carved, but were sealed in their current posture, so it was so real.

Fusion of organisms with a certain substance to convert organisms into substances is a very ancient sealing technique, which has basically been lost now. Occasionally, you can also encounter small creatures such as small ants, frogs, etc. that were sealed thousands of years ago, and cats and dogs, which are large and rare.

But now, Alex actually saw the seals of two giant powerful monsters, the Flame Demon and the Immortal Bird. This type of creature, not to mention the power required for the seal, it is already very difficult to subdue them just by subduing them.

Just this gate, a momentum of despising the world came to my face. This powerful creature was only equipped to seal the gate here. What a shocking existence should the thing behind the Iron Gate be?!

Restraining the excitement in his heart, Alex carefully explored it and found no mechanism or anything else. Then he walked to the door carefully and pushed it hard.

The heavy gate was at least hundreds of tons, and it was not moving at all under the push of Alex.

Alex's expression was a little awkward. Now it was so embarrassing. A thick iron gate like this must have a driving mechanism. The manpower was applied just to start the driving mechanism. But obviously, the driving mechanism of the iron gate is not working now. Could it be that it has been broken because it has not moved for too long?

If it is broken, Alex has to transfer a team of magicians to move the door open.

I tried several more times, whether it was pushing or pulling, my face turned red and still remained motionless.

Alex gave up and was about to go up and transfer people first. At this moment, Lilith pointed to a knocking ring on the iron door and said, "Let's knock on the door."

"Scared?" Alex was stunned and looked at Lilith with an incredible expression. What kind of whimsical thoughts are this? Alex almost wanted to curse. This door has not been opened for thousands of years. Could anyone else be inside to open the door for you?

But think about it, isn't this exactly what a woman loves? Alex looked at Lilith who was embarrassed to be stared at by herself, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his heart.

He shook his hand, and a wind element lifted the door and knocked down. Two dull sounds, the entire door seemed to be shaken and buzzing.
