The Truth of Magic

Chapter 84 Underground Mine

Seeing that Zhao Xu agreed to participate in this mission, the four Maple Leafs, who were already ready to move, raised their hands in favor of participating.

In the end, it was agreed that Roja would bring his three confidants, Hill the Wanderer, Locke the Expert, and Gale the Warrior, to go down with them.

The rest of the people, including Zach, were responsible for guarding the smuggled goods at the mouth of the mine.

Zhao Xu and the poet frog made knowledge checks and knowledge ability checks respectively, but neither could find any abnormal rumors in this area.

The dilapidated traces at the entrance of the mine mouth also indicate that it has been blocked for many years.

This is also the reason why Roja didn't bring too many fighters. The greater danger to them in this kind of dungeon is the traps arranged inside.

However, everyone still received additional equipment and supplies from Roja, and Zhao Xu honestly received 20 arrows for hand crossbows.

Maple Leaf, Roja, and Gale were all walking ahead and slowly approached the entrance of the mine pit. At this moment, they all clenched their weapons tightly, and Maple Leaf gestured with the two-handed giant sword he just received from time to time.

According to Roja, these weapons that were lent to them would be given to them for free regardless of whether they could get the secret treasure or not.

This also made Zhao Xu think a little bit. Everyone had heard the content that Maple Leaf relayed. Only Luo Ya knew about the limited communication technique.

Perhaps in the content of the summons, there was a saying that no matter the price, otherwise he would not think that these underground forces can be so generous, and give away the 50GP two-handed giant sword as soon as they say it.

Removed? Maple Leaf asked while looking ahead.

At this time, after they formed a team, the leader naturally became Roja.

The mouth of the mine in front of them was nailed to the ground by layers of wooden fences, and even an extra layer of canvas was added inside. Although it had been tattered for a long time, it was enough to prevent them from observing the inside through the gap.

Smash it. You two come here and chop it up with an axe. Roja ordered.

The two attendants who had been ordered to guard the entrance of the mine quickly brought axes and started chopping on the wooden fence one by one.

Boom, boom.

In a few strokes, those wooden fences were broken enough to pass a person's opening.

However, both of them continued to dig until the wooden fence was completely cut into pieces and mixed with canvas scraps and fell to the ground. Roja and the others waited for more than ten minutes for the inside to ventilate before entering with torches.

The two attendants in charge of the excavation cleaned up the dropped objects, and then began to guard the gate, and did not pay much attention to the faintly illegible spells on the canvas.

The entire team, Luo Ya and Maple Leaf, were in the front row, followed by two rogues, followed by Zhao Xu, a few non-melee personnel, and finally finishing up at the Warrior Blast Station.

The mouth of the mine is very deep and secluded, and there are still a lot of crushed ore on the ground, as well as a few broken hoes.

Suddenly the rogue Rainbow raised his voice, pointed the torch in his hand at the natural stone wall, and there was a line of blood-red writing on it, which looked a little weird under the light of the fire.

Expert? What does this mean? Roja shouted when he saw this.

Although the font is crooked, everyone knows that it is not written in a common language.

Roja's subordinate, Locke, an expert in auxiliary professions, stepped forward. He observed the text on the stone wall with his magnifying glass, and said in a low voice, This seems to be a purgatory text. I have to look it up.

As he spoke, he began to rummage through his backpack.

Traveler who strayed in, please leave! Yoyo said looking directly at the line of text, her face was a little pale, I have learned Abyssal language, and both Purgatory and Abyssal languages ​​use this purgatory script.

Hearing this sentence, all the people who were originally determined in their hearts couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Yuyou, are you reading that right, or who is playing a prank? the wanderer Rainbow asked awkwardly.

Purgatory language is the language of devils and demons. Generally, except for mages and priests, no one would be so bored to learn this language.

Even for Zhao Xu, he chose dragon language, celestial language, and elvish language as the three extra languages ​​that could be learned.

Just looking at Yoyo's face, everyone knew that she would not lie about this kind of issue.

Go on, it's just to scare some adventurers who strayed in. Roja said, his face was not good-looking, but he still insisted on carrying out the mission.

A group of people also continued to move forward in the mine tunnel that was enough for four or five people to pass through.

You chose Abyss language as an extra language for your talent? Zhao Xu asked the priest beside him in a low voice.

Generally, priests do not rank too high in intelligence, and the choice of additional languages ​​is naturally limited. More people like him choose Celestial Language, after all, this is the common language of the Kingdom of God.

Youyou shook her head, I'm more interested in language, so I voted for 'language' in terms of skill points.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu looked at Yoyo even more.

The first-level spell already has the spell Language Proficiency, which allows them to recognize languages ​​and characters they don't know, so for the sake of combat power, most people seldom invest in language.

Only players who are born illiterate like barbarians will have to vote for language.

People with only 2 professional skill points like mage priests usually don't take the initiative to learn language skills, so Zhao Xu is a variant of xiu dao priest with 6 initial professional skill points.

Therefore, being able to take out the few skill points to learn the language is generally at the level of Arthur's enthusiast, and this is why he wants to know everything.

Generally speaking, this kind of focused player is more likely to reach the peak.

Zhao Xu also came out to take risks. After experiencing the usefulness of spells and knowledge skills, he began to think like a mage, and began to realize that some things that could not significantly improve combat power had great significance.

But Zhao Xu thought about Yoyo's name carefully, and it seemed that there was no well-known player named this in his previous life.

But for the name Maple Leaf, he could still think of a player druid named Red Maple Leaf in his previous life.

After about five minutes' journey, Zhao Xu and others reached the end of the mine tunnel, and their vision suddenly widened.

In front of the tunnel is a variety of pitted ore veins that have been dug, and it has become a large sunken pit. This is also the main excavation site for the miners.

If they go any further, they have to climb to the large platform at a depth of four or five meters below. There are still broken mechanical slings hanging four or five meters from where they stand. This is what the former miners used to pull the ore under the platform to above the tunnel.

No one knew how long the sling could last, so Roja directly used the hook to find a crack in the stone at the entrance of the tunnel to fix it, and then slowly hung it down.

After confirming the surrounding environment, he asked Zhao Xu and the others above to follow the hook down one by one.

After the last warrior Maple Leaf also came down, Roja counted the number of people, and everyone continued to move forward according to the plan.

But after a few steps, everyone stopped, even Feng Ye trembled and held the giant sword in his hand.

On the wall where they hung down just now, less than five meters apart, that is, where the abandoned mechanical sling was, there were several handprints that had dimmed and turned maroon on the corner of the wall.

It seems that someone once tried to climb up here.
