Chapter 10 Man-Made Buildings
It was a metal wall. Although the wall was rusty, the wall was still very strong. Even if it was blown up by Mia's magic, it was still intact. It seemed that it was not that easy to break through.
"Artificial construction?" Sher took a breath in surprise, "There are people here, no, there were people once?"
Of course, metal walls cannot be naturally generated, especially this wall has obvious artificial traces, and it is only possible that someone built the building inside the mountain.
It can be seen that the dwarf's judgment was not wrong. There was indeed a cave here, but it was just artificially sealed.
"Shul, what should I do?" Mobak was a little overwhelmed. It was not difficult to break through the metal wall and enter the building. With everyone's ability, it took a little time to do it. The problem is that what everyone lacks the most now is time, "I didn't expect it to..."
"This is a good thing." Shure waved his hand and interrupted Mobak's self-blame. "You should know what artificial architecture means."
"Unknown treasure." The dwarf's eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly, "There are still a lot of gold coins."
Indeed, as long as you can find some artifacts made from substances outside the world of Pavatiga, even if they are shoddy and inferior goods, they will be favored by strange object collectors and scholars and can be sold at a high price.
Therefore, in the eyes of shadow-seekers, artificial buildings mean wealth and reputation.
"Marca Jaylen, here is your job." Throwing the dwarf who was almost drooling out aside, Seul knocked on the metal wall, "find a way to find the entrance."
"I understand." The halfling finally waited for his chance to show off. He raised his thumbs up and pressed his head against the cliff without looking back. Instead, the drooling Mobak retreated, and the six people formed a double-layer defense circle facing the periphery, protecting Makajren inside.
"Dangdangdang." The half-length man's fingers kept tapping on the metal wall, his ears pressed against the wall, and he listened carefully to the sounds coming back.
This is not just a simple knocking on the wall. Through the echo of metal, we can judge the size of the internal space, the thickness of the wall, the trend and length of the surrounding walls, and even determine whether there are fatal traps. This is a very professional detection method.
Halflings are considered to have the most dexterous hands in the world of Pavatiga, and are born thieves and mechanics. As a trap expert and mechanic expert, Makajren claims that there is no door in the world that can block his way. Although there are factors that brag about the racial characteristics of Halflings, it can also explain his abilities.
Thirty seconds later, the half-hearted man, who had already entered a state of selflessness, walked forward along the mountain. Shuer twitched his mouth and sighed: "Come with him."
"Fried here too." After walking hundreds of meters away, the half-ling patted on the stone wall, "I need to explore again."
Without waiting for Shul's order, Mobak pointed three positions on the stone wall as soon as possible. After the fireball, the stone wall fell off again, and it was indeed a metal wall inside.
"Sure enough, it's almost here." Half-length eyes shone brightly, raised their heads from the wall and said proudly, "I have already smelled the door, I am indeed..."
"Then hurry up, there are not much breath-holding potions." Shul was not polite at all and directly interrupted Marcajren's self-proclaiming, "losing the protection of the potions, everyone died at the gate together, and then became a laughing stock together."
"Okay, I got it."
Unluckyly gave up his self-proclaimed plan, and the halfling re-entered the battle that belonged only to him.
This time, he did not lie on the wall and listen like he did just now, but instead took out a bowl-shaped tool from his backpack and pressed it on the wall, then put his ears on the bottom of the bowl, closed his eyes and liberated his hearing, and leaned his ears to see the world behind the metal wall.
"Dangdangdang".
"This is the easiest wall to explore. It is integrated casting instead of metal plate splicing, so it is easy to find the entrance." Standing in his post, Marca Jaylen is more professional than anyone else. "Ha, I've caught you, come with me."
"Walking along the stone wall, about a hundred meters, there will be a depression. Well? It should be around here, everyone will look for it."
Not long after he walked with the shadow-seekers, the half-ling suddenly stopped and groped on the rock in confusion. Among the information he found, the entrance must be here. However, what he saw was still the bare rock, which was no different from other locations.
"No, these are not ordinary rocks anymore." The same thing, in the eyes of the dwarf, was a different scene. "There was an earthquake here, and the entrance should have been blocked by gravel. Let's explode it. Mia, the power is a little less, I'm worried about a landslide inside."
"Boom", another dull explosion.
Obviously, the dwarf's worries were unnecessary. The magic power of the elf mage was well controlled. The gravel blocking the road was successfully blown up, while the surrounding mountain walls were intact.
The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the gravel fell to the ground, and a narrow crack appeared on the rock wall. The cold and dirty breath overflowed through the crack, making everyone's skin feel a trembling. Fortunately, everyone is still breathing out, otherwise, this aged turbid air alone will cause a lot of trouble.
"Very good, Mia, come on."
"Wind." Even the curse seal was not needed to be formed. Mia spit out a magic character in a low voice, and then the wind came.
The wind did not come from Mia, but blew directly outward from the inside of the crack. The strong wind raged in the crack, instantly sweeping away all the dirty air in the mountain.
"In the name of the moon, in the name of the holy." Shur drew a standard circle on his chest. This is the gesture of praying in the Dark Moon Temple, and it is also one of the casting actions, "Moonlight."
There was no bright light. Xiu's magic tricks made the space in the crack shrouded in a hazy and dim glimmer.
This is the characteristic of the Dark Moon Goddess's moonlight technique, and it is also the characteristic of the Dark Moon itself. It is not as bright as its sister, Silver Moon Lady Diana, and the Dark Moon does not shine in the night sky. Therefore, it cannot be observed with the naked eye. Most people, even do not know that there is a dark moon above their heads at night, silently staring at the world.
However, for the extraordinary shadow chasers, this level of glimmer is enough to let everyone see everything in the crack.
As Seul expected, the crack was the scene he wanted to see the most.
There are no animals, no plants, only a small amount of moss growing in the corners. Although it also exudes hostility, it is already the best environment compared to the terrifying pressure outside.
"The strategic transfer was successful, the combat readiness was lifted, and the alert state was restored." Xiu'er's expression remained unchanged, calmly as if everything was under control, but in fact he breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart that had been hanging was finally relieved.
"Mobak, prepare to enter." The probe looked into the crack and estimated the width of the interior. Shuer immediately began to assign tasks. "Moriya, Makajren, you follow Mobak, Militi, take your two horses in, protect you one in front and one behind, Sassa, your guards' tail."
"Mia, you and I are breaking the back and ready to close the door."
"Do you directly blow up the entrance?" The elemental mage's thinking is always so direct.
"Well... Forget it, the ice wall is sealed, and it is safer to leave a way out." After pondering for a moment, Shuer shook his head and rejected Mia's proposal. Although the blow-down of the entrance can avoid future troubles, no one can guarantee what will happen in the crack. Shuer does not want to cut off his own way out.
"Ka, Ohm, Farr." Retreating into the crack, Mia's staff gently stroked across the ground. As she recited the magic spell, a thick ice wall rose upwards, stretching upwards against the mountains on both sides, instantly closing the entrance and isolating the air inside and outside.
"Call the guardian of the moon with the holy name of the lightless moon Luna." Shur pressed his hand on the ice wall, and a faint light film stretched out from his hand, quickly climbing over the entire ice wall.
"It's my turn." Shuer stepped back, Mia stepped forward, and the second ice wall rose, clamping the light film in the center.
The ice wall resists physical attacks, the guardian of the moon resists energy penetration, and the three ice walls intersect two layers of guardian of the moon, which is enough to ensure the safety and worry-free period of the magic effect.
"Safe for the time being, keep up with them."
However, Shuer was just talking. While speaking, his body did not move, nor did he put down his mace, and he just patted the crack with his eyes.
Turn your eyes up, first confirm the safety of the top of your head, then confirm the safety of both sides, and finally confirm the safety of the ground.
"Huh, lower the alert level." The hungry half of his heart finally could let go. Only then did Xiu feel the moisture behind him, but fortunately he was not seen by others.
"Can you breathe?" Mia didn't plan to drink the breath-holding potion. Although the amount of the thing was small, the taste was really subtle. Normal creatures should not like this taste.
"Unsure, let Moria judge." In theory, it should be OK, but there are too many cases that go beyond theory in adventure, so it is not too much caution. "Let's go, keep up, Marca Jaylen is professional. In one minute and forty-five seconds, the door should be almost opened."
Under the hazy light, the tunnel in the cracks in the mountain was not long. Before we could walk, we saw the figures of our teammates.
A rusty metal door was crossed in the middle of the crack, blocking the shadow-trapping people's way. The half-ling was lying in front of the door and working. The others surrounded Macajren and kept a high alert. Only the dwarf Mobak stood beside the half-ling with a shield in his hand, ready to protect himself at any time.
"Haha, I just said that the door that could block my Makajren did not exist at all." Amid the cheers, the half-length jumped up and laughed to the sky. In front of him, the metal door made a harsh sound, slowly sliding open to both sides.
"Che, squeak, buzz."
Jets, metal friction, mechanical rotation, theoretically, this is the sound when the door is opened.
However, although the cheering half-ling did not notice it in time, Shuer and Lin Jing had already frowned, as if the voice did not come from the gate, but from the space behind the gate.
"Be careful, there are traps."
