The entrance to the tomb was near the bottom of the valley. A few broken pillars stood in the thick bushes, covered with vines. If one did not look closely, they would have thought that they were made of green rocks. However, Brando thought that the mercenaries had dug a very professional tunnel. He used to dig this kind of tunnel before. After all, it was the physical work of a warrior, and he was good at it.
He observed for a while and found that the stone of the pillars was badly corroded. The small patterns on the pillars were similar to words. They were not written in the Cruz language, nor were they written in the Elven language. In other words, they probably came from the history of the mountain people. Before the Silver Elf Empire and the Kingdom of Erouine ruled over this area, the original inhabitants of this area were the mountain people. The history of this place could be traced back to before the War of the Holy Saints. This tomb probably had a long history.
It was a pity that he did not invest much in history. His scholar level was mostly in heraldry and aristocratic knowledge. He used to disguise himself as a nobleman, but now he thought that it was not worth it.
The wizards under Lerian's command had already created a magic ball of light. The group entered the tomb. The air in the tomb had been expelled for a long time, but the smell of decay still lingered in the air. The light was a little dim. They followed the dim light into a tomb cellar. Rows of side niches appeared on both sides of the passage. They were filled with skeletons and remains, some of which had been destroyed.
Brando found the card in his hand in one of these niches. He sensed for a while and found nothing. However, the faint smell of magic in front of him made his heart beat faster. The Shire walked side by side with him. Scarlet and Jutta walked on his left and right respectively. The female mercenary leader gripped her longsword tightly. Her emerald green eyes seemed to be burning under the light of magic. Scarlet gripped the spear in her hand tightly. Through her amber eyes, the girl quietly monitored the movements in the darkness.
The smell of decay grew stronger and stronger, gradually making people uneasy. Roman grabbed his hand tightly, but his eyes were sparkling with excitement as he looked around.
The sand in the tomb had been dug up. Soon, there was light in front of them. Brando walked closer and saw that it was an agate light barrier. Lines of runes flashed on it. It was thick in the middle and thin on both sides. It was obviously some kind of magic barrier.
"Is this the magic barrier?" He turned around and asked.
"That's right, my Lord. We've tried all sorts of methods, but we're still unable to remove this barrier." Schiller hurriedly replied.
This spell was Chaos Crystal Wall, a Level 6 Law Spell. The caster was at least a Level 40 Law Wizard. It would be strange if Le Lian's apprentices and Warlocks could break it apart.
"Can you open it?" Brando turned to ask The Shire.
"Simple," The Shire replied casually. "Now?"
Brando nodded.
The young wizard servant began to chant. He reached out his hand and gently touched the magic wall. With his finger as the center, a black hole appeared on the agate light barrier. The area of the black hole quickly expanded, and in an instant, the entire magic barrier disappeared.
The tomb was silent for a moment.
"Easy. He should only be a Sixth Ring wizard," The Shire replied. He was a Seventh Ring wizard. One Ring was enough to make a world of difference.
"This spell doesn't look like a defense. It looks more like a seal," Brando said.
"Why?" The Shire did not understand.
"Because the Chaos Crystal Wall is a very strong defensive spell. It's more like a barrier that prevents foreign objects from entering. If it's a defensive mechanism, it's at least a little offensive."
The Shire of course did not know that Brando had seen many defensive spells set up in the underground city. "You even know about this spell, my Lord?"
"Of course. I'm a Highland Knight," Brando replied nonchalantly.
It was The Shire's turn to feel uncomfortable.
He clearly knew that the person standing in front of him was not a Highland Wizard.
But the people around him did not doubt it. Other than a Highland Knight, who would bring a wizard servant through the streets and be so knowledgeable about mysterious magic?
After breaking the magic barrier, Brando continued to lead the group forward. This time, he was much more cautious. Seals and defenses were different. Defenses were dangerous, but seals meant that there were unknown dangers in the tomb.
Seals were more or less mysterious. In the whole of Erouine, there were not many places that were used to suppress evil spirits. The most famous one was the underground public tomb in Ampere Seale.
Another tomb.
Brando felt that today was really strange.
Behind the curtain of light was a huge tomb. Under the pale light, more than ten stone pillars stood quietly in the dark and quiet hall. They were already covered with cobwebs. In this dusty world, in addition to the densely packed niches on the sides, there were many stone coffins in the middle of the hall.
According to the barbarian customs, these should be the sacrificial lambs of a higher status. Brando used detection magic to check the whole hall. There were three or four flashing lights in the corner, but none of them were Cards of Fate.
Flies were still meat, and there were also good things in low-level underground cities.
He pointed out the location, and the Magi immediately began to search the room. But someone seemed to have touched something, and there was a sudden creaking sound in the silent hall. Brendel quickly saw a few dark figures pushing open the coffin lids and climbing out from within.
"It's Tomb Ghouls!" The Magi's Apprentices shouted with pale faces.
Tomb Ghouls were a mutation of ghouls. They were level 27 undead creatures, and their strength was infinitely close to the peak of Black Iron. Moreover, the humanoid creatures they killed would become undead creatures in a very short time. For adventurers, they were definitely one of the most dangerous creatures in the underground city.
Brando looked at the Magi's Apprentices in front of him, who were in a panic because of the shock, and could not help but think of his first adventure. Because the scene in the underground city was too realistic, a few of his friends and a giant demon were scared witless and ran away.
Thinking of the past, he could not help but laugh.
On the other hand, The Shire only felt embarrassed when he saw this scene. These Magi's Apprentices were all his subordinates, and if his subordinates were too embarrassed, he would be the one to lose face.
"What's with the chaos!" He finally could not help but growl, "Are you all just waiting to die?"
The Magi in front of him finally reacted. The Tomb Ghouls had already climbed up the nearest stone pillar to the ceiling. The wooden beams above crisscrossed, and it was pitch black. It was impossible to see where these monsters were hiding.
One of the Magi first put up a Wizard's Wall, and then the hall was filled with a large shield, stone armour, water shield, and light wall.
"Put the magic balls up there!" Leron immediately ordered.
Several balls of light immediately flew to the top of the ceiling. The Tomb Ghouls usually liked to hide in the dark and launch sudden attacks, but this time they had nowhere to hide. Their hunched bodies were immediately exposed to the light, and the monsters immediately let out a shrill squeak.
"Six … Seven, eight, there are eight of them!"
The Magi began to cast spells, but the Tomb Ghouls were the first to pounce on them. A few of them were knocked to the ground. Although the Tomb Ghouls' sharp teeth could not penetrate their shields, the scene was already filled with cries and screams.
Scarlet stared at the monsters and threw the spear in her hand. It pierced through three Tomb Ghouls and nailed them to the wall on the other side. On the other side, Jutta had also killed her way into the crowd. Her strength was close to that of a mid-level Silver. She was not outstanding among Brando's subordinates, but she was more than enough to deal with these mere Level-27 undead creatures. In an instant, several Tomb Ghouls that had grabbed onto The Shire's Magi had their heads pierced through by her sword.
The remaining two Tomb Ghouls wanted to retreat into the depths of the tomb, but the Magi who had prepared their spells would not let them do as they wished. All kinds of lights flashed in the hall, and the two Tomb Ghouls were smashed into pieces by countless magic arrows, ice bolts, fire arrows, and lightning claws.
The scene was so spectacular that even Brando was a little stunned.
The Shire could only wipe the sweat off his forehead.
The battle started quickly, but it also ended quickly. There were a few skeletons standing up from the side of the wall. If it was back in Gerald's Tomb, Brando would have had a hard time dealing with these skeletons. But here, even the weakest of his mercenaries could easily dismantle them.
After the battle, the Magi found a few magic amulets in the positions pointed out by Brando. They were all Alchemy grade trinkets. They should be used to ward off evil spirits. Brando didn't care about these things anymore, so he directly gave them to the Magi's Apprentice Magi, causing a burst of cheers.
The last item to be presented was a magic sword. Brando was slightly startled when he saw the magic sword. The body of the sword was crimson red and sparkling like agate. The guard of the sword was a pair of Fire Ravens, and the sword hilt was surrounded by flame patterns. At first glance, it was obvious that this was a rare treasure.
He recognized this magic sword – 'Fire Raven's Tongue'. This was a Brass grade magic sword. The quality of the sword itself was not bad, and the rare thing about it was that it could shoot out a flaming whip. In the early stages of the game, it was considered a rare equipment.
Brando saw that Jutta didn't have a suitable sword, so he simply gave it to the female mercenary group leader.
"My Lord?" Jutta was slightly startled, but she was pleasantly surprised when she received the sword. In this era, low magic items were very common, but Brass grade and above were the real treasures. She knew that Brando had the Halran Gaia, but this sword could also be given to a close subordinate. She didn't expect that Brando would give it to her without hesitation.
She gently stroked the body of the sword. There was no swordsman who didn't love swords, let alone such a good sword. "Thank you, I will cherish it." Jutta said with a rare seriousness.
But Brando didn't think so much. In his eyes, Brass grade equipment was just an ordinary magic item. He regarded Jutta as one of his own. Not to mention Brass grade equipment, if it was suitable, he wouldn't hesitate to give it to her even if it was Silver grade equipment.
At this time, the wizard who was scouting ahead ran back and said breathlessly, "My … My Lord, there is a tomb in front."
The Shire saw these embarrassing subordinates and simply turned his face away, pretending that he didn't see them. Of course, he thought that when he went back, it would be time to train these guys' abilities.
He felt that he was too relaxed before.
"Tomb?" Brando didn't care about the performance of these wizard apprentices. His own first adventure was even worse than this. Looking at these wizards, he felt a sense of familiarity as if he was looking at a newbie in the game.
The Amber Sword was a very lively game, and rookies and newbies were always everywhere.
"Yes, tomb, there is no road behind!"
"That's it?" Brando couldn't help but be startled. He didn't expect the tomb to be so short, but after thinking about it, he understood. In the past, there were many small dungeons like this in the game.
After all, this was a tomb, not a maze. Not every tomb was comparable to the public crypt under Ampere Seale. After all, The Amber Sword's first goal was authenticity.
"What is the tomb like?" He asked again.
"There is a big stone coffin inside," the wizard apprentice said, "and a lot of those cards."
