Chapter 63 The man who found the target
"Hey, are you really sure it's this?" Woz sat bored at the entrance of the cave and shouted inside.
"Wait a little longer, I'll touch my head soon!" After a while, I heard the reply inside.
"I'm asking if you're reliable?" Woz couldn't help but complain, "This is the sixth basement... You actually don't know where the secret room of the Knights of the Torrent is, right?"
"Nonsense, how could someone know that kind of secret at will!" Van Li poked his head out of the ground, "Bah! Damn it, I've found the wrong thing again!"
"Ha? Then you still said confidently that you were looking for a secret room... and wasting so much time!"
Vanley crawled out and patted the dust on his body: "I don't know if you misunderstood something. It's natural to have a few secret rooms with such a large organization, right? This is not a secret at all - but not everyone knows the specific content and exact location of the secret room."
Woz curled his lips, he thought this guy had some internal information.
"It's already lively outside the city." Woz looked up at the distance, "judging from the energy fluctuations sent back from outside, there are many experts worth seeing." Before this, he had no intuitive impression of the overall strength level of this world.
But outside the city, the battles of the intensity above the level of the thousand-man commanders and above that broke out in the city gave Woz a good reference. He roughly estimated that the so-called thousand-man commanders in this world are probably equivalent to the great demon created in the magic book of Jelf. If no one cares about it, it is the level of natural disasters of walking... To be honest, for ordinary people, it is indeed an extremely terrifying existence.
Moreover, what is more noteworthy is the quantity. With the Torrent City as the center, dozens of battles of this level broke out from all directions at the same time! Looking at Van Li's face, Woz knew that the strength level of this world should be not low.
However, it was precisely because the people and demons outside fought first, which delayed their pace of entering the city, so Fan Li had the time to search for one basement after another.
With a long sigh, Woz stood up and patted the dust on his body: "Okay, since you don't know the specific location... Then let's listen to me next."
"Do you know where the secret room is?" Vanley asked in disbelief.
Woz rolled his eyes: "Anyway, I'll guess it's all right, I'll give it a try. I thought you had any internal information before..."
As he said that, Woz turned and left, heading towards the west side of the city.
Fan Li was stunned: "There is the direction of the arena?"
Woz responded: "I don't know what it was before...but there is only one location in the whole city that is a bit abnormal."
"Why didn't I feel it?"
"Barring, you're not a spellcaster," Woz explained, "the magic in that direction..."
He stopped suddenly, suddenly remembering that magic power in this worldview is a taboo power, and then he changed his words bluntly: "Well, the magic power in that direction? The fluctuation is too calm and it is out of place with other areas."
Fan Li sighed helplessly: "Forget it, you don't have to pretend anymore. I know you are a magician... Magic is just magic. Anyway, you look quite normal, not like you fell into the demon world."
Then he reminded him: "However, it is best not to be exposed in front of others. Not everyone is as wise and bold as me."
Woz took out a scroll from his pocket and shook it: "Don't worry, I'm learning so-called spells, which will soon be enough for daily combat. Also, even if I do use magic, and I'm not a magician, I'm a magician!"
Vanley rolled his eyes and didn't reply, but he absolutely did not expect what speed Woz said was "quick".
Until they found an entrance to the original fighter field that seemed to be a secret room, and under the leadership of Woz, they passed through several levels without any damage...
"Ah, there seems to be metal curing technique attached to this door..."
Before Fanley could carefully distinguish the additional spells on the door, he saw Woz pressing his hand on the iron door with one hand and thinking for a while. The invisible power fluctuation quietly raised and blew up the hem of his clothes slightly.
Then I saw the dark metallic color on the door begin to fade, revealing its original woody color.
After breaking the spell on the door, Woz looked at the lock of the wooden door again and thought about it.
"Uh..." At this time, Van Li had a deep understanding of the strength of his temporary companion. It was obvious that he knew nothing about the magic system a few hours ago, but now he acted better and more powerful than any mage Van Li had ever seen!
"Generally, we will smash this kind of door directly and violently." Fan Li flashed a cold light in his hand, and he cut the wooden door with a short sword. "Not all spells must be cracked with spells..."
After all, in this world, spellcasters are relatively rare advanced and rare professions. In daily tasks and battles, not every witcher or adventurer team has the opportunity to configure spellcasters. In addition, their enemies, species in the Abyss Demon Realm generally have certain natural magic abilities; so in this case, "breaking magic with force" is actually a battle method that people often use.
Of course, even Vanley had to admit at this time that it was really convenient to have a spellcaster as a companion when taking risks! Especially a spellcaster like Woz who is almost omnipotent - even Vanley has discovered that his existence has no effect at all, and he just follows others.
Realizing this made the young and energetic Fan Li even more unhappy, but for the treasure he was about to obtain, he decided to ignore these small unhappiness.
Listening to the above news, many people have entered the city, so I’m going to hurry up and get the treasure first!
Woz was also stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that he was in a misunderstanding. In order to pursue efficiency, he simply kicked open the wooden door and walked in.
Vanley followed closely, but his large package full of trophy was stuck in the narrow doorway.
"Hey, wait for me!" he shouted while pulling the package hard, "Why do you seem to be more anxious than me now?"
"I feel like there is something I need in front of me!" Woz said without looking back.
Because both of them were carrying large and bulky packages, it was a bit troublesome to walk in the narrow passage. The road Woz found was not actually the official passage to the secret room. In fact, the small hole led from a corner of the arena was just a construction passage borrowed when building the underground secret room. In the end, it was blocked by more than a dozen gates. Even the Knights themselves probably forgot the existence of this road.
No wonder the two of them saw the dilapidated appearance of dust and cobwebs along the way.
However, Woz and Vanley didn't know about this, and they didn't care about this. Anyway, it would be enough to find the secret room.
The magic array that originally protected this passage was directly connected to the main defense system of the gladiator arena, but at this time it had long since dissipated due to the city breaking. The remaining independent magic systems were powerless in front of Woz.
Kicking open the brick wall at the end of the passage, Woz's eyes suddenly became clear, and a wide underground hall appeared in front of them.
There seems to be no attack from the demon legion here. Everything inside the hall is intact. The magnificent walls and towering dome support the vast space. It is not like being underground. Hundreds of fire pillars are burning quietly, illuminating the entire hall, and all show a magnificent and majestic spirit.
At the end of the hall, there was a huge door shiny like pure gold!
Van Li whistled frivolously: "Is that the gate of the treasure house? Sure enough, the legend that the Torch Knights is rich enough to rival a country is not bragging!"
The young adventurer threw down the big package that he had been carrying on his back and came to Woz with his eyes shining: "Brother, you really have it!"
Although he looked impatient, Fan Li still maintained his usual caution. He picked up a brick from the ground and threw it out in front of him.
Throw a stone and ask for directions!
The short sword that can use its wrist power to exert its "flying sword" is really powerful. The bricks roared out more than a hundred meters before falling to the ground and shattering.
"It looks like no problem..." Vanley shrugged and looked at Woz.
Woz pondered: "But there is indeed a strong wave of magic power lingering here... Note that it is indeed magic power, not energy of other properties!"
"Well, even if it is a taboo, those big guys' studios will study it." Fan Li was not surprised, "That's why I'm not too disgusted with you, the magician..."
"My profession should be a magician!" Woz shook his head and reiterated, "but I still don't think there is a treasure house ahead."
"Whatever it is, let's go and have a look first!"
As he said that, Van Li raised his hands slightly, and two short swords fell into his palm. Then he stalked forward with his head raised.
Although Woz was still a little confused, he followed. Indeed, he was here, so if you have any confusion, go and see it yourself.
As a result, the two of them stepped on the magic circle less than three steps...
Woz looked down speechlessly at the magic circle that was rapidly spreading under his feet. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a large number of complicated runes appearing on the walls around him. They actually hit the "big prize"!
Because the magic fluctuations behind the golden gate in front were so "eye-catching", Woz's perception was blinded for a moment. In addition, this magic circle does not have direct killing function, so it did not arouse the alertness of him and Van Li, so he was naturally directly hit.
"Do something quickly!" Fan Li thought of the powerful mage around him at the first time.
It was too late, it was a magic of space. Woz had only time to shrugged at the other party, and then two figures disappeared out of thin air in the faint light...
Almost at the same time, they appeared in another strange place.
Forced space transfer is the last line of defense in the secret room. It has no direct lethality at all, but it is precisely because of this that it is particularly effective.
Moreover, the Knights of the Tomb is not that kind, and the end of the teleportation is another component of the underground building complex of the Gladiator Field - the dungeon, or the "beast cage".
That's right, it is a place to detain those ferocious monsters and even demons captured by the Knights. In the past, it was also a place to guard the Knights' soldiers.
Of course, now all the monsters and demons in the beast cage have escaped, leaving only an empty cage, and a huge hole has been broken above the head, so you can return to the ground at will.
In this way, Woz and Vanley were naturally unscathed. But...
"Ah!" Vanley fell to Woz's feet and howled in pain, "My treasure!"
