The structure of the underground city is basically in a spiral shape, from top to bottom.

According to some scholars from the Irish mainland, small underground cities generally have nine floors, and medium-sized underground cities are slightly larger, with scales ranging from eleven to fifteen floors. As for large underground cities, how many floors do they appear?

It is possible to reach all levels. The largest underground city discovered so far is the Ruge Ruins on the west coast of the mainland. So far, twenty-seven levels have been conquered, and we have not yet reached the bottom.

Naturally, the academy chose a small dungeon. This kind of small dungeon that has been completely conquered will no longer have any powerful adventurers and mercenaries haunting it. The rest are just down-and-out people who come to try their luck.

Just mercenaries.

According to the mission issued by the academy, the students have to travel through the entire underground ruins to the lowest level.

Each student represents a point, which means that a large number of points can be obtained by eliminating others.

The academy even buries ten special magic items somewhere in the dungeon. Students who find these items will receive extra points, and of course these items will also belong to the person who finds them.

Ivan is not in a hurry to act. According to his field experience, acting first is not necessarily a good thing.

The surrounding buildings attracted his attention. Gray-white rocks formed various buildings on the first floor. These buildings were much taller than human houses and looked like a gathering place for giants. However, according to "

According to Ireland Card's "A List of Continental Races", the technology of giants is notorious among the continental races, and their sophisticated structures are simply not in line with the characteristics of these behemoths.

The first floor of the dungeon is surprisingly large, and Ivan has never seen a student who belongs to the same magic academy until now.

"Even if it's a random teleportation, it's not like you can't hit anyone, right?"

Ivan suddenly felt something was wrong. Not only did he not meet any other students, but he had walked for so long without seeing a single living creature!

This is obviously not normal.

The first floor of the underground ruins is the cleanest floor that has been cleaned, but it is not without any movement.

Being too quiet is often a sign of danger!

The most important thing is that Ivan feels that the building in front of him seems familiar. He was there a few minutes ago.

It seems like I have passed by here once.

So Ivan changed his direction again, and a few minutes later he returned to this familiar place.

"I still don't believe it!"

Ivan once again chose a new direction to move forward. But the result still made him crazy.

Ivan was in a bad mood as he crashed back to the original place again and again. At the beginning, he was inexplicably trapped in a helpless endless loop.

It's not good, I seem to be trapped here...

Ivan tried to calm down. This must be one of the traps in the dungeon, but how to crack it?

"Wind rail - floating."

The blue light lifted up Ivan's entire body. Since he couldn't get out, he flew out.

Just as the body left the ground, a pressure fell from the sky, and the levitation technique was instantly interrupted.

"Are there any flight restrictions?"

There are undoubtedly certain restrictions here, and they still exist even after several epochs.

Ivan had to sigh, the designer of the ancient dungeon is really a powerful guy. Even the self-contained circulation system has not been figured out yet, let alone how it is still running after countless years.

certain devices.

The countless magical objects in these lost ancient civilizations show their prosperity at that time, but even with such superb technology, they still inevitably end up being buried in dust in the end.

What could possibly bring such a civilization to its knees?

Ivan released his magic power, and the surrounding information was fed back to his mind.

"Change - Spell Exploration."

Ivan's spell detection mainly uses two spells, one is Life Detection and the other is Magic Network Detection.

These two spells can help Ivan roughly grasp some information. As a restriction in the dungeon, this kind of restricted-level spells often require multiple magic circles to operate at the same time. In this case, there must be nodes, and through destruction in the magic network,

Each spell node that appears in it will definitely be able to crack this illusion array.

It is not difficult for Ivan, who has seen the entire magic network, to find the nodes of the magic circle. After all, this is just a small dungeon that is not very difficult.

Already, especially Ivan suspects that this mechanism may have been modified by the academy, and it will definitely not be too difficult to crack.

Sure enough, within a short while, Ivan found these nodes.

It is not difficult for him to destroy these nodes. There are at least three solutions to this kind of nodes in the large amount of arcane knowledge that Mystra sent over. Ivan chose the most troublesome one, tampering with the nodes.

of orientation.

This can cause some difficulties for other people staying on the first level. In the final assessment, if the total points of others are lower, his ranking will naturally be higher. After all, Andrea warned him, so Ivan must get as many points as possible.

to achieve the best results.

After successfully modifying the node, Ivan discovered that he had been in a thick fog, but he couldn't see it. Only then did the fog gradually dissipate.

"After doing this for a long time, I actually kept spinning in circles. The exit was right in front of me. It seems to be some kind of spell that interferes with people's sense of direction. This kind of spell is probably suitable for a spellcaster with super mental power like Abel.

It’s of no use,” Ivan muttered.

After walking along the front for a while, a towering tree was in the center of the underground city. It was hard to imagine how old this tree was. In short, it was taller than any tree Ivan had ever seen.

There is a tree hole in the giant tree. According to the academy's public information, this is the passage to the second floor.

Only from the second level can it really be called a dungeon.

Ivan hadn't seen anyone around the tree hole yet. This was within his expectation. After all, he felt that he should be among the fastest in cracking the maze.

Walking all the way forward from the quiet and dark tree hole, unexpectedly, even if it leads to the underground, there is still fresh air in the tree hole, and even the temperature does not seem to have changed much. Ivan can only start again

I am impressed by the wisdom of the ancient race.

Holding up the magic lamp in his hand, Ivan must be extremely careful with every step he takes. Darkness is always the biggest enemy of mankind. After all, the unknown is often the most terrifying thing.

No matter how careful you are, accidents will eventually happen.
