The Truth of Magic

Chapter 303 Senior Investigator

Just as Zhao Xu was thinking, Shuangjian had already arranged for the union members under his hand to assemble the bamboo poles that he had carried from the beginning, and then probed into the bottom of the mud to test the depth.

At the same time, he also arranged for combatants to stand around on guard, guarding against possible attacks at any time. It has to be said that when a team has a full forty people, there will be plenty of manpower to allocate whatever it wants to do.

The length and width of the entire muddy land were more than 100 meters, and it was a stretch. Although there was no unpleasant stench, the only floating things on it were the dead leaves that had just fallen.

At this time, it was judged that the muddy area in front of him was only less than one meter deep. The four wanderers who were in charge of searching for the entrance of the stone chamber walked into the mud one by one. Their steps were very cautious. Only then continued to move forward.

As for Zhao Xu, who cared about the notes in the stone room, although he felt that the coincidence was a bit too much, for him at this time, there must be no taboos, and he could take as many as he had.

The only problem is that when he sees the notebook, he must not open his mouth to ask for it, otherwise, from anyone's point of view, he wants to occupy the mage tower all by himself.

Zhao Xu wasn't nervous either. Since he was the final owner of the mage tower, Frost Sword would naturally give him the notebook behind, otherwise it would be troublesome for Zhao Xukong to have the mage tower.

So Zhao Xu had to make sure that they could enter the sorcerer's tower, otherwise Zhao Xu would not be able to ask Shuangjian for it no matter how many reasons he had.

At this time, Shuang Jian looked at the gray and old parchment map in his hand, and continued to direct the four wanderers in the mud to move forward.

As they went deeper, the depth of the silt had already begun to exceed the chests of the rogues.

The high-strength fighters on the shore who deliberately grabbed the wanderer with a rope also began to hold on to the rope.

There is a raised platform. The wanderer who was leading the way suddenly shouted excitedly. His progress stopped completely, obviously kicking something.

At this time, one rogue raised his dagger and stood aside to guard against it, while the other stood a little further away to avoid any explosion on the raised stone platform.

The other two adventurers are responsible for cracking the closed stone platform.

It's just that the slightly raised stone platform itself is only the height of the stone pier, completely below the knees of several people, and if they squat down like this, the mud will completely cover their heads.

In a word, the hands of these rogues are not long enough, unless they have developed the ability to break the mechanism with their feet.

Frost Sword on the shore also frowned after hearing the rogue's feedback.

At the beginning, when everyone drew up a plan and carried out sand table deduction, they did not expect this situation at all, and they didn't even prepare a few reeds for breathing.

Piao Zhi, if you try poking your butt, the mud will just cover your head. Shuang Jian gave Risk a suggestion based on everyone's opinions.

Damn it, try poking your ass up yourself. The rogue Pirates complained after hearing this. At this time, he had already bent down to feel the distance from the stone platform.

The silt can just cover our heads, so it's not easy to handle. Robber continued to speak.

And Zhao Xu, who felt that the spell notes were all in front of him, didn't want to make trouble at this moment, and asked directly, If you get taller, you should be able to expose your head?

That's for sure. Dao Zhi shouted.

Just immediately, he felt something was wrong.

At this time, after Zhao Xu on the shore sprinkled a pile of iron powder, he had already started to chant the spell, after he finished the last syllable.

The scattered iron powder directly turned into a deep light and attached to Dao Zhi's body. Immediately, his whole body began to grow larger, and his height and the length of his limbs were all increased in proportion.

In the end, the change didn't stop completely until the stealing speed became three meters faster. At this moment, he looked at Zhao Xu blankly.

This is the technique of growing human beings. It can make you one level larger and become a 'big creature'. In this way, you won't be submerged in mud because you are too short. Hurry up, it only takes five minutes. Zhao Xu Although it was a little far away, he still spoke slowly.

Feeling the effect of the first-level giant enlargement spell lingering on his body, he didn't dare to entangle Zhao Xu about his height. He immediately gritted his teeth, reached down, and kept groping for the stone platform to see if there were any tricks.

After a few more minutes like this, Robo Zhi suddenly showed joy and shouted: I got it.

Immediately afterwards, there was a tremor on the already calm ground.

When Zhao Xu saw this scene, he also brewed the spell of flying at the corner of his mouth.

Whenever something goes wrong, he casts a spell.

In an instant, there was a roaring and vibrating sound from the entire silt pool, as if the long-awaited gears finally started to shake, but it was still not enough.

Be alert! Frost Sword shouted suddenly.

With a swing of their arms, all the rangers raised their longbows and aimed directly at the wanderers near the stone platform, as if they were the real enemies.

However, Zhao Xu was not nervous at all. He had seen similar methods in the underground temple before, such as using gear machinery to control whether the gate was raised or lowered.

And the rogue who had grown in stature, Pirates, had already retreated a little at this moment, as if he hadn't realized that he had caused such a shock.

At this time, I saw a cylindrical stone platform like a deep well, slowly rising from the silt pool, and I saw the silt below the accumulation, revealing various rotten things, which made everyone present feel a little nauseated.

And the raised stone well is surrounded by bricks, and the height of the well itself is even higher than that of everyone present. What used to be squatting down to explore has now become climbing up to observe.

It's just that after the thief got bigger, he easily climbed into the stone well, and then according to his experience in research institutions, he easily untied the sealed cover above the stone well.

President, there is a passage down the well, it's a bit deep. As he spoke, Robozhi lightly threw a stone, and after a few seconds, everyone heard the sound of the stone falling deep and bouncing.

That well is very deep.

At this time, Shuang Jian also knew that he had to hurry up and go under the stone well to explore the note that recorded the map.

Immediately, according to the plan, he arranged for people to follow him down the well and into the stone chamber.

The mage left this stone room for future generations at the beginning, and he didn't set any complicated traps himself, so everyone didn't worry too much.

At this time, Zhao Xu also signaled that he could go down together. Although Shuangjian was a little confused, he agreed directly.

Just like that, the few people who arranged to go down the well followed the safe route they walked out at the beginning, slowly waded through the mud, and finally climbed into the stone well one by one after the robbery. At this time, they also went in together.

Zhao Xu didn't think much of it at this time. The stone well was not far from him, so he directly drove the teleportation boots under his feet, and appeared on the stone well in the blink of an eye.

The players who watched the situation around were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that this gust of wind mage didn't even want to walk through the mud, so he actually used his spell slot to hurry.

When Zhao Xu arrived at Shijing, he found that there were protruding stone steps on the inner wall of the well head made of bricks, and he could climb down slowly along the ridges above.

So Zhao Xu followed the people who had climbed down and continued to trigger downwards.

In the end, when he climbed to the last hurdle, the bottom was completely suspended, and there was a large room, so Zhao Xu let go and jumped, landing on the ground.

Below the stone well is a spacious room, and the surrounding walls and bricks are neatly piled up without any gaps. It is extremely hard to imagine that someone built such a secret room under the mud a hundred years ago.

And at the end of this very spacious secret room is the same stone door, and the two wanderers stared at the lock of the stone door in a daze.

What's wrong? Frost Sword asked.

There is a trap, we have to crack it first. A rogue who specializes in unlocking and dispelling traps said, which is why he came down on purpose.

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and opened the lock with another wanderer to crack it.

However, as time passed, the sweat on the foreheads of the two wanderers grew more and more.

Until one of the rogues stopped his hand, his face was a little pale from exhaustion, he kept shaking his head and said: It can't be cracked at all.

The six or seven people on the side were all a little strange.

The trap has not been triggered, but why can't it be lifted?

And Shuang Jian was also a little anxious at this time, they had been targeted, and it would be very unfair to be intercepted here at this moment.

Let me see? Zhao Xu, who originally came down not to show off, saw that the team was caught in a door lock trap, so he also stepped forward.

At this time, another rogue also stopped, looked at Zhao Xu and said helplessly, Mr. Kuangfeng, you mages are good at casting spells, but to remove the trap, you still have to ask our rogue profession.

At this moment, Zhao Xu didn't care and smiled. He pointed to the trap on the door lock that hadn't been triggered, and asked, I can't untie it all the time, but won't it trigger?

At this time, the wanderer was a little stunned and nodded: Yes.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu couldn't help shaking his head, that sorcerer liked teasing his offspring too much.

At this moment, Chen Nuo, who also came down, thought that Zhao Xu wanted to use brute force to crack it, so he hurriedly shouted, You can't open the stone door with the knocking technique, unless you have the five-ring wall penetration technique.

But Zhao Xu said in a happy mood, No, it's the phantom trap of the second ring.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xu lightly wiped his backpack, and the mechanical trap on the lock of the Shimen door was transferred directly to Zhao Xu's backpack as if it had been transformed into a spell.

The trap that was originally locked on the door disappeared on the spot.

It's just that Zhao Xu didn't reach out to erase it at all, and even the target of his spell just now was his backpack.

The whole process was like magic.

At this time, Zhao Xu's focus was no longer on the door lock. He knew that he needed more dominance next.

He directly took out a proof badge, and said to everyone present: Guangfeng, who belongs to the senior investigator of the Rosary Cross, is now investigating the extension of the secret temple. The next process may require everyone's cooperation.

Rosicrucian, the secret organization responsible for investigating mysterious events on Mystra's ground, is also the strongest combat force other than the magic guard.

Qingkong, the priest who believed in the goddess, immediately turned sideways to pay respects to Zhao Xu.

It's just that other than him, the players in the field couldn't help beating their hearts. They were actually that kind of extremely high-level senior investigators!

Did they get involved in Mystra's hidden mission?

This mage tower mission, there are deeper secrets?
