"This place is not only the tomb of the Elf King, but also a forbidden place for the elves... Since it is a forbidden place, it is understandable that some tomb keepers are set up to prevent outsiders from breaking into the tomb."
Standing there, looking at the golden gate in the distance, Athir thought silently: "If I am the guardian in charge of guarding the mausoleum, I naturally have no right to enter the mausoleum of the Elf King and disturb the master's sleep."
When Athir entered the ruins from the outside before, he was a little confused.
This relic looks very high-level, but along the way, we didn't encounter much danger, and even the harvest was very scarce, which does not match the external appearance of this huge relic at all.
Now that he thought about it, the area he had walked through before was probably not the real main body of the ruins, but just the periphery of the ruins. It was probably specially divided out in ancient times for the tomb keepers to live in, so naturally there would not be many precious things left.
The real inheritance and burial objects should be deep in the ruins, near the body of the Elf King.
However, once you enter the depths of the mausoleum, the danger will inevitably rise to a higher level. It is almost impossible to encounter a situation like before where there are almost no obstacles.
As I was thinking this, I suddenly heard footsteps in the distance.
Athir looked into the distance, and through his powerful eyesight, he saw several figures in the distance walking towards here quickly, and it seemed that their target was also the door in front of them.
Without any hesitation, Atier retreated directly behind him, using the complex terrain to conceal his figure.
"Finally found it." A voice came from the distance.
Miledo was wearing a red robe, looking at the golden gate in the distance with fiery eyes. His body was trembling slightly and he looked very excited.
"Is this the true entrance to the ruins?"
Beside him, Raman also came over and looked at the gate in the distance in amazement.
Behind the two of them, Andrew and several other apprentices walked quickly. Their faces were pale and they looked like they had experienced something.
Unlike Athir's peaceful journey, their group was unlucky and chose a dangerous and complicated road. They kept encountering various things along the way, which made the two official wizards feel difficult.
If it weren't for the fact that this relic has a very long history and many of the things that were arranged in the past have become obsolete, and the fact that this is only the outer perimeter of the ruins, they would probably lose some manpower this time.
"This is an ancient stone puppet..."
After observing for a while, the two official wizards focused their attention on the stone giants.
"Such a huge stone puppet..."
Looking at those stone giants, Raman's face showed surprise and his eyes became extremely solemn in an instant.
"Don't be scared by these stone giants."
Maierduo's expression was also very solemn, but he was much calmer: "No matter how many terrifying and complex puppets there are, they still need energy to start. Judging from the history of this relic, these stone giants may not be able to move."
"Send someone to go up and test it..."
They looked at each other and reached a consensus in an instant.
"Go, go in and open the door!"
Raman turned around and looked at an apprentice beside him.
He was a young apprentice wearing a black robe, with ordinary looks and seemed very silent. At this moment, one of his arms was broken and blood was still flowing from the broken arm.
This was broken when he encountered danger on the road before. Although he was not dead yet, he lost most of his mobility and was directly selected by Raman.
After hearing Raman's words, the black-robed apprentice with a broken arm turned pale. His already pale face looked like white paper. He turned back and glanced at Raman coldly.
Without saying anything extra, nor begging for mercy, the apprentice was very calm and understood that under the current circumstances, he had no extra choices.
He walked forward silently, staring at the golden gate in front of him with a calm face, and walked towards it step by step.
Under the nervous gazes of the people behind him, he slowly walked towards the golden gate in front of him and soon approached the stone statues.
During this process, the stone giants looked like real stone statues, standing still and motionless, seemingly without any movement at all.
Boom!
A light sound rang out at the spot.
Under the nervous gazes of Raman and Myerdo, the black-robed apprentice with the broken arm walked straight to the golden gate without triggering anything at all.
"The puppet didn't move?"
Seeing this scene, the two official wizards were stunned: "Could it be that time has really been too long, and the power of these puppets has been exhausted?"
Thinking of this reason in their minds, they felt a little bit unbelievable.
As formal wizards, they knew very well how powerful the ancient wizards were. Judging from what this relic showed, the power that built it must be extremely powerful, far exceeding all the forces in the current wizarding world.
Could it really be so easy for a guard puppet created by such a powerful wizarding force to run out of power?
But the facts are before us, and no matter how skeptical we are, we have no choice but to accept them.
"It's still not safe, let other apprentices try again!"
After thinking about it, Miledo looked at Raman beside him and spoke to him again.
After listening to his suggestion, Raman nodded in understanding and turned to look at the other apprentices on the side: "You guys come over here too."
Being stared at by his cold eyes, the apprentices felt a chill in their hearts, but due to the situation, they could only move forward obediently.
They walked towards the gate in front one after another, and in the process did not cause any attacks from the stone statues.
"It seems like there's really no problem."
Looking at the stone statue in front of him, Miledo was shocked and puzzled.
Standing aside, secretly watching this scene, Athir seemed to be thinking about something and had some guesses in his mind.
The reason of energy depletion is too far-fetched. Compared to this reason, Athir is more inclined to believe that it was the work of the elves who came to this relic in the past.
This is the tomb of the ancient Elf King. Although it is a forbidden area, it is ultimately a place that belongs to the elves.
As the royal family of the elves, since the group of people in the past came to this relic, they must have made some preparations for this forbidden area.
These puppets that were in deathly silence were most likely created by the surviving elf girl in the previous video. It is very likely that she had used some method to shut down these stone puppets, causing them to lose their ability to move.
In front, as several apprentices walked to the golden gate one after another, several tall stone puppets remained motionless, just like real stone statues, standing there quietly.
Seeing this scene, the two official wizards finally stopped hesitating and stepped forward.
Of course, secretly, they were also prepared. The fluctuations of mana on their bodies slowly spread out, and it seemed that they were brewing and could erupt at any time.
However, to their relief, until they safely reached the golden gate, the stone statues did not move at all, but just stood there quietly.
This made them breathe a sigh of relief, and they couldn't help but focus their eyes on the golden gate in front of them.
The golden gate in front of us occupies a huge area and looks to be seven or eight meters high, like a giant's portal. At first glance, it looks like a small building.
After looking at each other, the two official wizards walked to one side of the door and pushed it forward with all their strength.
Golden light flickered, and wisps of warm and hot power leaked out from the gaps in the door, shining on several wizards.
Illuminated by the light, several wizards were stunned for a moment. A warm vitality emerged from their bodies, and the injuries they had suffered before were healing rapidly.
The same thing happened to the black-robed apprentice with a broken arm. Under the illumination of the golden light, the pain in his arm was slowly subsiding, and the flesh on it was healing quickly. Although he did not grow a new arm, his injury was also stopped.
"Amazing power."
Feeling this warm vitality, everyone couldn't help but look up and fix their eyes on the madly blooming sun above the ruins.
This is the source of this power, which had never worked in the outside world before, but when it came to the inside of the ruins, the power suddenly dissipated, and the effect surprised the two official wizards.
"What kind of power is this? It is so strong that even after so many years, there is still such an amazing remnant."
Raman was dressed in a black robe, looking at the huge golden sun in the sky, with a gleam of heat in his eyes.
After a while, they walked forward.
As soon as I walked into the ruins, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
In front of me is a magnificent aisle. On both sides of the aisle, there are trees standing with different colors and shapes.
The tree on the left was silver, covered with silver leaves, and was gleaming with a faint silver light. As for the tree on the right, it was completely black, not only in color but also in shape, appearing taller and more dangerous.
Two different kinds of trees stood in two rows on both sides, dividing a long road into three, each blooming with a different brilliance.
"This is···"
Looking at the aisle in front of them, the eyes of the two official wizards suddenly became solemn.
"It seems to be some kind of ritual. I have seen similar records in a book before."
After a long pause, Raman spoke uncertainly.
"This is a lost gift from ancient wizards. It represents a ritual of death. Even in ancient times, only wizards of noble status were qualified to use it."
Miledo's face was solemn: "This also means... the place we came to is not an ordinary ruins, but the burial place of an ancient wizard."
"tomb?"
Raman's face turned a little ugly: "This is not good news."
Among all the relics of ancient wizards, the mausoleum is definitely one of the most dangerous.
No one wants his body to be desecrated after death, especially those powerful ancient wizards. If they have the opportunity to decorate their own tombs during their lifetime, they will definitely set up the most terrifying means in their tombs to entertain later tomb robbers.
Moreover, judging from the appearance of the ruins before them, the ancient wizard buried here must have been extremely powerful when he was alive, far beyond their imagination.
The tomb of such a terrifying existence would certainly contain astonishing burial objects, but the danger level would also rise by more than one level. With the power of two formal wizards, it would probably be very dangerous here.
