After walking less than a hundred meters through the cave, a stone door appeared in front of them. Gibran couldn't help but shout, "We're here! It should be here! "
"Wait a minute!" Yalina hurriedly stopped him. She took out the detection potion and poured half of the potion into her palm. Then, she chanted a spell in a low voice. The potion quickly expanded and turned into a faint mist. The mist floated forward and attached to the stone door. Lines of magic runes appeared one after another, floating in the air and releasing a little bit of light.
"So it's the Cloud Storm Magic Barrier." Yalina smiled. "Cover your ears!"
"Yalina, what are you doing?" Majordomo Gail was stunned.
"It will take a long time to remove this magic array. It's better to be straightforward and trigger the magic array directly." Yalina said, "Don't worry, my magic shield can protect everyone."
"Well …" Majordomo Gail coughed. "Yalina, let's play it safe. We have enough time. There's no need to rush."
"Yes, yes!" Gao Bin had a strange look in his eyes. In the past, he had never noticed that such a delicate woman actually had a violent side to her. Directly activating the magic array was indeed straightforward and simple. However, there was no need to use such an extreme method right now, right? Then Gao Bin continued, "The alley is only so wide. If the alley collapses, won't we be buried alive? Besides … this stone door may not be able to withstand the power of the Cloud Storm. It's not good to smash the things inside. "
"Okay." Yalina shrugged. Since the two leaders were against it, she couldn't insist on her opinion, even though she thought it was unnecessary.
It took almost an hour for Yalina and Kane to work together to completely remove the Cloud Storm Magic Array. Yalina took out the magic crystal from the core of the magic array and looked carefully. She recognized that it should be the magic crystal of the Thunderbird. However, Yalina was now a rich woman. In the battle with the Orcs, she had collected tens of thousands of Thunderbird magic crystals. She didn't care about the magic crystal that had lost more than half of its elemental power. She turned around and handed it to Kane. Then, she brushed away the dust on the stone door. "Sunier, where's your magic seal?"
"Here you go." Sunier took out Qi Li's magic seal and handed it to her.
Yalina took the seal and looked at the pattern on it. Then, she bent down and carefully observed the hole on the left side of the stone door. She found that the pattern was exactly the same, so she carefully adjusted the angle of the magic seal and inserted it into the hole.
Kacha … There was a slight noise coming from inside the stone door. Yalina smiled and said, "It's done." After that, she pushed the stone door hard, but the stone door remained motionless.
"What's going on?" Yalina looked up and down suspiciously.
"We still need the key. Gibran, you do it." Majordomo Gail smiled.
"No problem." Gibran smiled and walked forward. After a moment of observation, he finally found a small hole that was only half a centimeter square at the bottom left corner of the stone door. Gibran almost had to lie on the ground to confirm that it was a keyhole. Then, he took out a dark brown, shiny metal rod and rubbed it between his palms. Soon, the small metal rod gradually softened like a boneless slug. Gibran then inserted the softened metal into the keyhole. His movements were fast and careful. When almost half of the metal was inserted, Gibran seemed to have heard something and suddenly stopped. Then, he took out a bottle of alchemy potion and poured it near the keyhole.
The potion quickly froze into ice and made a squeaking sound. Pieces of frost spread around the keyhole, and the softened metal rod became hard again.
Gibran grabbed the deformed end of the metal rod and tried to twist it left and right. There was another kacha. Then, he pushed forward with his shoulder, and the stone door was pushed open.
"Yalina, come behind me," Majordomo Gail said. Then, he took the lead and slowly pushed the stone door.
Creak … The stone door was finally pushed open. Yalina poured the rest of the potion into her palm and threw the bottle aside. Then, a cloud of expanding mist passed Majordomo Gail and slowly floated into the room.
"There's no danger," Yalina said.
Majordomo Gail was the first to step into the secret room, and then everyone else followed. Of course, Gao Bin stayed at the back.
Before coming to the treasure hunt, everyone inevitably imagined the scene of the secret room in their minds, but they were all wrong. Accidents always came unexpectedly, and so did surprises!
This was no longer a room, but a small square. On both sides of the square, there were hundreds of magic lamps extending into the distance. Even with their eyesight, they couldn't see the end of the square. Of course, it was also because the light was too dim. In the center of the square, there were about thirty rows of shelves made of unknown materials. They were like neat rows of soldiers waiting for the inspection of their superiors. The shelves were full of things, but because there was too much dust, they couldn't recognize what they were.
Majordomo Gail was dumbfounded, Gao Bin was dumbfounded, everyone here was dumbfounded! They had never seen such a huge storage room. Even in the heyday of the former empire, the national treasury might not be as large as this storage room!
After a long time, Majordomo Gail quickly walked down the steps and almost rushed to the front of a row of shelves. Ignoring the flying dust, he grabbed a round object and carefully observed it. Yes, it was a magic crystal! Then, the whole row of shelves should be filled with magic crystals. How much should the total be? What were the rest of the shelves?
Gao Bin and the others scattered and rushed to the front of the shelves to identify the things on them.
"Mine is a fire magic crystal!" Sunier shouted.
"Mine is a water magic crystal!" Yalina shouted from the other side.
"Oh my god … it's all magic crystals! It's all magic crystals! "Gibran was almost out of control.
"Here …" Julia was stunned and instinctively took a few steps back. She screamed, "It's a dark magic crystal! It's all dark magic crystals! "
Everyone rushed along their respective shelves. After about ten steps, they checked to see if the items on the shelves had changed. In a moment, they had rushed more than two hundred meters. In front of them, the end of the storage room was faintly visible. The width of the storage room was about a hundred meters, and the length was about a mile.
It was meaningless to go further. In fact, the main purpose of their coming here was to help Han Jin find the Glorious Battle Robe. But now, everyone forgot about the important artifact. They were shocked by the astronomical number of magic crystals.
Everyone gathered again from the shelves. With Majordomo Gail's experience, he also wanted to cheer, but due to his age and identity, he forced himself to suppress his excitement. The other young people didn't have so many scruples. They laughed and jumped. Yalina even impulsively hugged Sunier and screamed. Gibran also wanted to hug Julia, but he was severely stepped on and had to stand aside obediently.
In theory, as long as there were enough magic crystals, sorcerers could set up a magic array that covered the whole continent, or even several times. A third-rate magic legion's combat power could be instantly raised to the first-rate level, because they could release magic without any scruples. The Holy Crown City's Mage Towers could increase from a dozen to thousands. If the whole continent attacked the Holy Crown City, the Holy Crown City would not launch a counterattack. Of course, demigods couldn't join the battle, otherwise, there might be variables.
Magic crystals were the most precious strategic resource, and they were also the most important strategic resource. And this place was filled with magic crystals!
"So many magic crystals, how can we take them away?" Sunier asked.
Everyone looked at each other. They all had spatial rings. When they came, they had tried their best to empty their rings. They were prepared to take away all the treasures after finding the Glorious Battle Robe. Only now did they realize that they had been too naive. Even if they didn't care about the conflicting attributes of the magical crystals and stuffed their spatial rings to the brim, how much could they take away?
"With Morgan & Co.'s ability, can they accumulate so much wealth?" Majordomo Gail took a deep breath and said, "This is a wealth that can rival a country … I feel …" The 'country' that Majordomo Gail mentioned was not a lord, nor a duchy, but a great empire.
"Uncle Gail, what do you want to say?" Yalina asked.
"This treasure should have existed for a long time, and Morgan & Co. found it. Otherwise … it's really hard to imagine …"
"By the way, Uncle Gail, do you think … Qi Li is a descendant of the royal family of a big empire?" Yalina's imagination was very rich.
"Well …" Majordomo Gail was stunned. Yalina's guess was somewhat reasonable.
"I agree with Majordomo Gail's judgment." Gao Bin said slowly, "I went to Julia's place to check. They are indeed magic crystals with dark properties. A descendant of the royal family of a big empire … Haha, the power of a big empire can't extend to the Abyss World. Where did they get so many dark magic crystals?!"
"The Abyss World?" Majordomo Gail paused. He immediately understood what Gao Bin meant. "Majordomo Gail, you mean … this treasure has existed since the first world war?"
"Should be right." Gao Bin nodded and said, "At that time, the power of the Abyss Race was firmly suppressed by the Holy See. In the beginning of the war, other than catching the surface races off guard, they didn't have much of an advantage. In the middle of the war, they were able to occupy more than 90% of the continent because they found a way to fight against the Holy See. They used the elemental power of nature to attack the Holy See, and then used the power of darkness to attack the mages of nature. The Holy See and the Guild of Magic at that time were in conflict and refused to fight side by side. Even the God of War Abraham couldn't resolve the conflict between them. In this way, the Abyss Race had the absolute advantage in any battlefield. In the end, when faced with the danger of complete destruction, the Holy See and the Guild of Magic abandoned their prejudice.
"Brother, are you saying that this treasure belongs to the Abyss Race?" Sunier asked in surprise.
"Yes." Gao Bin said, "This is the most reasonable explanation."
"Then … Why didn't they take the treasure back?"
"How many years ago was that? How would I know?" Gao Bin smiled and said, "At that time, there was a large-scale rebellion in the Abyss World. The rulers of the Abyss World were anxious to go back and suppress it. As a result, they were surrounded by the rebels as soon as they retreated underground. Maybe … those who knew the secret died in the war."
"These things seem to have not been touched for many years. Since Morgan & Co. found the treasure, why didn't they transport it out?"
"The continent has been in chaos for years. Where is a safe place?" Gao Bin asked, "In fact, the people of Morgan & Co. were already very careful. So what? In the end, they were still discovered by Dismark and the entire business group was destroyed. "
"That's true …" Yalina nodded and suddenly thought of something. "What about the Glorious Battle Robe? Did you find it? "
"Let's split up and look for it!" Sunier said.
Everyone spread out again. There were so many magic crystals that they couldn't take them all at once. Even if they went back and forth dozens of times, it wouldn't be enough. In terms of the area it occupied, the Glorious Battle Robe was undoubtedly the most valuable.
Soon, Kane found a hanging soft armor on a stone platform at the end of the storage room. However, the soft armor had nothing to do with the Glorious Battle Robe. It looked gray, but Kane felt the magic fluctuations of the seal and hurriedly called everyone over.
Yalina rushed up happily and took off the soft armor. Then, she was stunned and turned to Sunier and said, "Sunier, here you go!"
"Why are you giving it to me?" Sunier smiled and said, "Isn't it the same no matter who gives it to him?" In fact, when she saw Yalina take off the Glorious Battle Robe first, she was more or less uncomfortable. This had nothing to do with being open-minded or not, because she was a woman and also because she and Yalina both liked the same man. Moreover, she was the one who initiated the treasure hunt. Now that Yalina had taken away the most important thing, it was inevitable that her heart would be affected. However, now that Yalina wanted to give her the Glorious Battle Robe, her unhappiness disappeared. After all, Yalina had made a gesture. After all, Yalina always called her sister.
"I'm always with him. You, on the other hand, are always busy. It's better for you to give it to him," Yalina insisted. Her subtext was obvious: You can't do this. You should take the initiative to get close to him.
Sunier, of course, understood Yalina's meaning. She was stunned for a moment, then slowly took the Glorious Battle Robe.
Majordomo Gail and Gao Bin's eyes involuntarily met, then immediately looked away. Reality was so helpless. From the bottom of their hearts, they both hoped that their loved ones could be Han Jin's only. At their level, in-laws were enough to influence strategic decisions. However, the twisted reality told them that they could only accept this result.
Majordomo Gail turned his head and saw a deep black crevice that was barely enough for a person to squeeze through. He slowly walked closer and carefully observed. The entire storeroom was made of solid corundum stones. It could be said that even if they didn't come here, Han Jin would still have a chance to find the hidden treasure one day. While he was walking, he suddenly bumped into a big bump, and then Han Jin found it ….
After a moment of observation, Majordomo Gail realized that this was just a natural crack due to the passage of time. Although corundum was strong, it was still too weak compared to the power of the earth. Majordomo Gail slowly turned around. At this moment, a faint magic wave came from the crack, and Majordomo Gail's body immediately stiffened.
Gao Bin and the others also sensed the magic wave and hurried over. They held their breath and carefully looked into the crack. If there was a magic wave, it meant that there was life!
"You stay here. I'll go take a look." Majordomo Gail whispered. He was very grateful. If he didn't stop Yalina at the beginning and let her break the magic boundary of the thunderstorm, she would definitely have sensed the magic wave here first!
"Be careful," Gao Bin whispered.
"Yes, you should be careful too." Majordomo Gail nodded and disappeared into the air.
The crack was very narrow, barely allowing a person to pass through, and there was no place to borrow strength. However, this was not a problem for Majordomo Gail. If he had Chipango's eyesight, he could clearly see a red shadow slithering along the crack like a snake. Its speed was so fast that it was not inferior to a wild horse galloping on the plains.
The further he went, the more frightened Majordomo Gail was because the magic wave was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that there was more than one wave!
After about seven or eight hundred meters, Majordomo Gail finally saw the end of the crack. Outside, there was a faint red light flashing. He slowed down his movements and crawled out of the crack bit by bit. He lay down beside a rock and poked his head out to look around.
He was at the top of a mountain, and below him was a boundless field. In the distance, a lava waterfall hanging from the mountainside became the light source here. The magnificence and strangeness of the Abyss World could be seen here. It was far more complicated than the surface world.
Majordomo Gail's eyes could no longer move away. He used to think that the most exciting days of his life were far away, and all that was left was to spend his old age peacefully. Who would have thought that today, he would first find a huge treasure, and then see an unforgettable scene?
The wilderness was filled with creatures. The ones with eyes that emitted a strange red light were Vampires. The ones that were shaped like jellyfish were Evil Eyes. The ones with six arms and a long snake tail were Medusas. The ones with the head of an ox and a tall and sturdy body were Minotaurs. Other than these, there were also countless Hell Manticores. There were even huge, shiny black dragons. They were Black Dragons! Compared to other creatures, the number of black dragons was easy to calculate. With just a glance, Majordomo Gail knew that there were a total of sixteen black dragons here!
This was nothing. What was even more shocking was that all the creatures in the field were kneeling in the same direction. Even the black dragons, who were known for their tyranny and arrogance, were obediently folding their wings and remaining motionless.
