"My Lord?" Scarlet looked at Kodan who was muttering to himself and asked in a low voice.
Brando shook his head and signaled for her to calm down. The door must have appeared out of nowhere, and it might have something to do with the monsters.
Sure enough, Kodan suddenly stopped and whispered, "There are words on the door!"
Everyone leaned over, and sure enough, they saw some strange patterns engraved on the black iron door. To be more precise, they were words. Brando saw the trapezoidal characters and immediately said, "It's the language of the dwarves."
"It's the dwarven language."
"Dwarven language?" Kodan frowned and turned his head, "Why is there dwarven language here? Tónigel only has the Hill Dwarves, and they don't live underground. "
"What about the Grey Dwarves and the Iron Dwarves?" Metisha asked.
The Grey Dwarves and the Iron Dwarves were both creatures that lived underground. The Grey Dwarves were close relatives of the Alpine Dwarves, while the Iron Dwarves were said to be descendants of the Rune Dwarves.
But Brando shook his head. The Grey Dwarves and the Iron Dwarves both used the cuneiform script of Jorgendy Ridge, and not the Trapezoidal script of the Dwarven language.
In fact, the Trapezoidal script was the official language of the Dwarves. The cuneiform script was invented by the Dark Elves.
"Then who could it be?" The Silver Elf Princess asked.
Brando thought about the Silver Inheritance and suspected that it might be a branch of the Silver Dwarves that had disappeared. There were three Silver Dwarves: the Storm Dwarves, the Rune Dwarves, and the Fire Dwarves.
Apart from the Fire Dwarves, who lived in the Fire Elemental World, this inheritance could be one of the first two.
But before he could speak, Scarlet pointed her Lightning Spear at the door, and a soft ding sounded from the darkness. The girl looked at the door and saw that it was as smooth as a mirror. There was not a single mark on it, which proved that the door was sturdy beyond imagination.
She frowned and asked, "My lord, what is written on it?"
"I don't know," Brando shook his head.
"Boy, didn't you say it was the Dwarven language?" Kodan raised his eyebrows in annoyance, "How can you not know?"
"I only know what the Dwarven language looks like," Brando thought to himself. He was not in the Amber Space where the System could automatically translate. Here, he could only stare helplessly at these things.
However, he walked over and placed his hand on the door. "However, I suspect that this is a barrier."
"Barrier? Was it a spell? Is it an illusion? "The old man raised his silver-grey eyebrows." There are other people underground? "He looked at Brando suspiciously." You're not the only one here? "
Brando shook his head. "This enchantment is not a spell. Wizards' magic is just using the laws of the world. However, in ancient times, enchantments were set up by the gods. These barriers themselves represent a kind of law — "
Kodan did not understand, but Metisha's eyes widened. "Ancient heritage? My lord, are you saying that there's a sacred place behind this?"
"It's not a Holy Land. I'm afraid it's a Sanctum." Brando sized up the door. The entrance to a Holy Land could not be so small. It was like a valley in the Land of the Fairies, and it was large enough to accommodate two huge statues.
However, if this was a Sanctum used to store the Silver Legacy, then it made sense.
The young man placed his hand on the cold iron door and closed his eyes, as if he could feel the thousands of years of history behind the door. At the same time, he asked, "Medissa, what is the ancient heritage of the Silver Elves?"
The Elven princess paused for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't know. I've never been to the Sanctum. When the War of the Holy Saints began, the Silver Elves had already left the Sanctum for ten generations. It was said that we could no longer find our way back — "
Brando shook his head. "I'm afraid that's not the case. The Silver Elves should have returned to the Sanctum by now. What is the name of your Sanctum?"
"Sanctum Silver Valley."
Brendel nodded, but Scarlett asked in confusion: "My lord, this isn't the time to talk about this, is it? Shouldn't we find a way to open this door first? "
"I'm trying," Brando replied.
"Huh?"
"For an Ancient Barrier, the door is a symbol, a symbol of an entrance," Brando replied. "The meaning of an entrance is to enter. If you just want to go to the other side of the tunnel, you won't be able to open this door no matter what."
"Enter? Enter where? "The red-haired girl was puzzled.
"You'll know soon enough."
Brando closed his eyes and thought 'enter' in his heart. Then suddenly, everyone felt their vision go dark. But before the sound of panic could be heard, the light became bright again.
To be exact, it became brighter.
It was as if they had suddenly returned to the surface. Bright and dazzling light shone from the outside. Every pair of eyes that had adapted to the darkness could not help but squint slightly. The surroundings were snowy white, and their eyes hurt slightly.
Scarlett and the miner subconsciously turned their heads. Only the stronger Kodan and Metisha could stare at their surroundings. But the two of them immediately let out a low cry.
The voices around them suddenly became louder.
It was a tsunami of cheers that poured into everyone's ears like a tidal wave. And as everyone gradually adapted to the dazzling light and the deafening cheers around them, they looked up and finally saw everything around them.
They remembered that they were still in the dark underground tunnel just a moment ago, blocked by a thick iron door. But now, they found themselves in a brightly lit square.
Or worse.
After looking a little further, everyone found that it was not a square at all, but a gladiator arena. They stood in the middle of the empty space, but there were towering walls and spectator seats in all directions.
The spectator seats were full. Brando could not see the faces of the spectators against the bright light, but he knew that it was just a projection of a spell.
A gap space.
That was the content of this barrier.
In terms of complexity, this dimension was far less mysterious than Fairyland, which existed in the crevice between space and time. It was merely a demiplane connected to the World of Vaunte's main material plane, a small subspace.
But in terms of the sound and light effects, it was enough to make people dizzy.
He could not help but think that it was that guy who designed all of this.
"What is this place, my lord?" Scarlet finally calmed herself down, and could not help but ask in a trembling voice. She was still alright, but the miner was already paralyzed with fear.
Metisha and the old man did not say a word, but the former was obviously calmer, while the latter was vigilant, with his hand on his sword.
"The Arena of Destiny." Brando replied.
"The Arena of Destiny? What is that? "
Brando looked up, "Do you see that sword?" Following this question, everyone followed his gaze, and saw that in the middle of the arena, there was a stone tablet with a longsword stabbed into it.
The black longsword reflected a layer of faint light under the dazzling light, but the shape of the sword was quite strange. It looked like a longsword, but it was as wide as a palm, and the blade was much longer than an ordinary longsword. It was better to say that it was a combination of a two-handed greatsword and a longsword.
"What is that?" Kodan looked at the sword, his eyebrows twitching. As an experienced swordsman, of course he could see that it was an excellent sword.
"The Halran Gaia," Metisha replied, "I recognize this sword, it is the Silver Legacy of the Rune Dwarves."
"Yes, this is the Halran Gaia. Legend has it that it is connected to the earth, and when it is swung, it will cause the earth to shake and mountains to collapse." Brendel knew the sword's other name. The players called it the Sword of Earthquake, because Halran Gaia's attack was accompanied by an earthquake spell that was equal to the damage of the sword itself.
Earthquake was an area of effect spell, and its range was almost the same as the direction and range of the sword wind. Although it consumed mana, it was definitely worth it.
This sword was a divine weapon for Spellswordsmen. Even Brando could not help but move his fingers when he saw it. For a swordsman, this sword was too attractive.
Not to mention, this sword also had a 'leadership' attribute.
The 'Lead' attribute usually appeared on equipment with obvious faction and attribute characteristics. For example, Halran Gaia's relationship with the earth element could be seen from its name, so it could lead elemental creatures.
Brando finally understood where the stone leopards came from.
"Halran Gaia, Halran Gaia," the old man muttered to himself, "Could this be the weapon of the giant Miguel?"
Brando nodded. Miguel was the most beloved son of Mother Earth, and the uncrowned king of the earth. In the legends, this sword was his scepter, and he used it to rule the earth.
Of course, this was only a legend, but it made Brando's heart skip a beat. He took a deep breath and replied, "Those who come here will have the chance to obtain the sword through the challenge." He turned around and looked at everyone solemnly, "But there is a price to pay. If you fail, you will be turned into a stone statue and remain here forever."
"This is the meaning of the Arena of Destiny."
In fact, Brando felt a headache coming on. The Arena of Destiny was one of the more difficult ancient quests.
While he was having a headache, Kodan asked, "How difficult is the challenge?" The old man looked at the sword and was a little tempted. Even though the old swordsman did not know where he was, but as the saying goes, 'the skilled are the bold.' As a person who possessed the power of Gold, he naturally would not be as scared as the miner who was still unable to utter a single word.
"Very difficult." Metisha replied, "Because this place exists between fantasy and reality, there is no limit to the difficulty of the challenge."
Everyone's expression changed when they heard the words' no limit '. "My lord, what about us?" Scarlett asked.
The Elven princess shook her head again, "There is no escape. Everyone has to challenge at least once before they have the right to leave this place."
"Everyone?" The old man caught on to the word 'everyone'.
"Yes, unless you are Iron-ranked or below. You can only challenge alone, and not together."
Scarlett's face paled when she heard the answer, "Then … … if someone fails … … what will happen?" She was powerless now, and it was almost impossible for her to pass the challenge.
"You will be left here until the barrier disappears this time. You will be turned into a stone statue forever," Brando interrupted, "But as long as someone is willing to take on another challenge and succeed, they will be able to save their companions. Don't worry, Scarlett. "
"My lord … …" The red-haired girl was slightly startled. She understood the meaning behind Brando's words, and could not help but look at Brando with a complicated expression.
