The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 689 Secret Door
Saili had already mentioned to Brother Lin before that there must be mythos in the ancient elf ruins that are functioning normally, and mythos usually have the ability to interfere with communication with the outside world, so contacting Saili will become more difficult.

So it's normal for Sally not to reply immediately, so let's hang around before she connects.

Follow Virginia through the door opening on the left. This is still a corridor, but it is very short. After passing through, I found that the opposite is exactly the same as before, and there are still two door openings on the opposite wall.

This is similar to the setting of the waiting hall. Do I need to get two?
The things are basically the same, and there is nothing to say. The two walked through the opposite doorway again, and this time...

It's still exactly the same, the only difference is that there are no more entrances and exits on the opposite wall.

It has come to an end here, and there is no other way to go further, which makes Virginia and Brother Lin look at a loss.

"Did you see any other entrances and exits on the road?"

"No, we followed the people in front."

Many mages and attendants who came in earlier than them also looked confused. It is said that it is a ruin that covers more than half of Xiayan Island, but it turns out that there are only three rooms similar to the waiting hall?

Lin Tianci was lucky in his eyes, and after a glance, he didn't see anything more, which meant that it wasn't a trick like illusion.

Looking around, there was nothing more, and the two returned through another doorway. Maybe it was the same as the time in the Fairy Castle. Entering through different doorways will lead to different places.

As it turned out, it turned out that Brother Lin was thinking too much. This is basically three identical halls connected together.

How can this be done?

They said they came to the ruins to find some ancient elves' technology, and exchanged them for a series of prizes including trophies inlaid with extremely blue stars, but when they went to the place, they found that there were only three halls here, except for the lines with unknown meanings on the wall There is no other discovery at all, you can't carry a bench out alone, can you?

"It wasn't like this when my grandfather came in. He said that it was a place similar to a bunker, with a deep corridor leading directly to the ground, so long that he doubted life."

Because the ruins of Xiayan Island is a sacred place in the hearts of the local people, the organizer is not fixed, but the governments of several large floating islands around it take turns to hold it.

The maps they gave were naturally different.

This ancient elf ruins is very large, very large, and there are too many entrances and exits. For example, when they came, they didn't see a sand boat at the door. The few who set out first took the sand boat much faster than them.

But it's impossible to have these three useless halls here, right?
The two walked around a few times without giving up, but they still didn't see any more entrances and exits.

However, although the entrance and exit were not seen, Lin Tianci noticed a strange thing:

"You said, does it seem that there are fewer people coming together?"

Virginia, who was frowning and looking for the entrance everywhere, was taken aback, then looked around.

It's not an illusion, it's indeed less.

Even if many people on the road chose to leave the team and take the entrance that they only knew about, the team that entered the ruins together was approaching a hundred people including the attendants and others.But now I turn around and feel that the number of people has dropped a lot.

Seeing that there are no other entrances and exits, turn back and find other ways to enter the ruins?

"Wallis is gone too. He's not one to give up easily."

Then the two returned to the original hall when they entered, looked out along the gate, and did not see anyone leaving on a camel.

"There are no fewer camels, but fewer people..."

The two looked at each other:
"There is a secret door!"

I feel that this group of people is really unkind, and they don't even say a word if there is a secret way.

But think about it, although everyone has maintained restraint and decency, they are all competitors no matter what, and it is normal for people not to tell you.

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Modern elves have been divided into many different groups, the four largest of which are the high elves, dark elves, tree elves, and sea elves.

But no matter what kind of elf it is, its root is the ancient elves.

These elves that changed to adapt to the environment also more or less inherited the characteristics of the ancient elves.

All elves have the ability to find secret doors. This is an innate talent. No matter how well you hide the secret door, the elves can find the exact location as long as they stand nearby and walk around.

——Of course, whether it can be opened is another matter.

Therefore, in the remains of the ancient elves, there are also many secret doors. This is not a hindrance to the elves, just like the usual room doors. They are set up like this just for fun, but it is a trouble for people of other races .

These secret doors are usually hidden purely mechanically instead of using magic, so even if Lin Tianci is lucky, he can't see anything.

So the two can only use a stupid method, which is the common carpet search in RPG.

Considering the height and size of the ancient elves and the need for easy access, the secret door is unlikely to be placed in a place that is too ghostly, such as on a wall several meters above the ground.

So the two leaned on the wall and groped inch by inch, trying to find the hidden secret passage.

There were very few people who came together during this period, including the two of them, there were less than 20 people left. Everyone seemed to be aware of the existence of secret passages, and the methods they adopted were similar.

In the end, the picture looked like a meeting of the blind...

Blanket searches are inefficient, but useful.

Virginia found a movable wall in the door opening connecting the two halls. Pushing hard, the wall opened a gap like a door that could be flipped.

This is the secret door.

If you hadn't groped all the way, you wouldn't be able to tell that there was a door here with the naked eye alone, and the manufacturing ability of the ancient elves was really amazing.

Before entering, the two of them put protective spells on their bodies. Compared with Brother Lin, who only had the real energy barrier, Virginia put on several layers of different ones to protect the mage's fragile body.

After the preparations were complete, Lin Tianci took the lead and pushed open the door panel.

When the two of them entered, the reversed door panel closed automatically, and there was only darkness behind the door, with only a very faint light provided by something like glowing moss.

The position above the ceiling flickered for a moment. There should be lighting runes or the golden flame in the hall, but it may be because the lighting equipment is too old and the lighting equipment is not enough.

This is not a big problem. Dancing Lights is a small spell that everyone knows as long as a mage. The two of them propped up four light spheres. The pure white magic light dispelled the darkness, and a long staircase sloping downward appeared in front of them. .

"That's it. When Grandpa came here, he encountered this kind of stairs that looked very long."

Lin Tianci touched the stairs under his feet, and the touch was more similar to metal than stone.

If you look closely, you can find a slight gap between the stairs. The overall structure makes Lin Tianci think that this kind of stairs is probably an 'elevator', the kind of escalator that is often used in shopping malls.

It's just that it didn't start, so this long and sloppy staircase can only be walked by two people step by step.

No one is 100% sure what will be encountered in an ancient elf relic with sufficient energy, but referring to Brother Lin’s experience in the ancient elf relic last time, there will definitely be difficult things like golems and puppets .

But today's environment is not suitable for fighting.

The passageway is high enough and big enough. This is because the standard height of the ancient elves is between two meters and two meters three, and the passageway must be too short.

But there is no problem with passing, but it does not mean that it is no problem to encounter golems and puppets here.

What's more, there may be some traps, all in all, just be careful and make no big mistakes.

Virginia pulled out a wooden cane from the magic bag and handed it to Lin Tianci in front. The latter used it to scout the way ahead. After walking a few steps, he had to tap the steps below to see if there were any traps.

Safety is safety. Of course, this will also greatly reduce the speed of travel. In addition, this staircase is very long. They walked for more than half an hour before reaching the end.

What appeared in front of him this time was a semi-enclosed room, about 200 square meters, but what puzzled Lin Tianci was that as soon as he entered the room, he could see something similar to a ticket gate.

Behind the thing, you can see a railroad track laid on the ground, the railroad track circles around the room twice, and you can also see something that looks like a railroad gate.

The rails connect the two sides of the room, and each has a square opening that can lead to other places. However, because the lights of the ruins are not on, neither of them can stand at the door to see what is inside with the lighting of the dancing light technique alone. Condition.

"Did your grandpa tell you about this situation?"

Virginia shook her head:

"I remember him saying that after going down a very long corridor, he came to a large pool filled with water."

Everyone came in with different routes, and the experience of the predecessors is not very reliable.

Brother Lin shook the brooch again, but the thing was still in the state of magical aura shining brightly, indicating that it was still not connected.

Virginia approached the rails carefully, wanting to study this thing, but the moment her fingers touched the rails, a tiny ray of electric light burst out, directly flicking her fingertips away.

Also at the same time, the two heard the sound of 'grumbling' as if something was rolling along the rails.

Virginia immediately took off the universal wrench hanging from the leather cloak, pulled out the musket at her waist with the other hand, and pointed it in the direction of the sound source.

——The universal wrench is actually her staff...

The sound came from the square opening on the right side of the room. When the two of them were on guard as if they were facing an enemy, a thing that looked like a mine cart with two carriages at the front and back slowly approached along the rails, and finally stopped in front of the two of them. Down.

There are four seats in each of the two compartments of this thing, and the whole body is made of all metal. Although it is full of dust, you can still see the exquisite lines and metallic luster that belonged to the ancient elves.

only……

Compared with the mine cart, it feels more like the high-speed rail that flew on the land of China in the previous life.
