Chapter 551: The Opening of Ulduar (6)
"This thief is not very credible, but we still have to listen to him now, I don't have time to send a long message, you help me send it to Kiras, let him bring a team of legendary masters of the Rose Wind, ambush in advance and hide in the vicinity, we have to make sure that nothing goes wrong."
Glancing at Asher's communication crystal, Vivien nodded quietly.
"Then I'll go and prepare first, I have to get some props and change a set of equipment when I go on an expedition, I was fighting before, and I didn't put these on me." Vivien said to Elegy and Asher, and then turned and left.
Vivien walked towards her warehouse, and just around the corner, he leaned against the wall and started messaging Kiras.
"I thought about it just now, and I think that our current team, two thieves and one mage, needs at least one tank class, what do you think?" Ashur turned his head to look at the elegy and asked with a smile.
"It's not about breaking into any ruins, it's about tanks." Elegy frowned and said. "Besides, with your Yashu's strength, aren't these places coming and going freely?"
"No one knows if there are any engagements that need to be fought head-on, anyway, plus a plate armor class is more stable." Ashur explained, "Also, I used the wishing technique to enter a weakened state during the war with the Blood Elf Alliance, and I am not 100% sure of my own words. β
Elegy frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more.
Ashur's expression was calm, but his heart was determined.
Elegy can betray the Silver Angel Guild, there is a possibility of betraying him again, this thief only sees himself and the interests that are good for him, when it comes to the location of the treasure, no one knows how precious some of the things will be, and at that time, Elegy may not act according to the principle of distribution.
Ashur is naturally not afraid of elegy, but thieves rarely come from the front, if he forcibly takes something and runs, with Ashur in his current weak state, in the deep terrain underground, he may not be able to force him to stay, so out of caution, he must make many preparations.
It's also good to have more people in the Tower of Dusk in the ranks.
"Where, Leah?" Asher opened the team channel and asked.
The team channel was filled with the noisy chatter and shouting of the members of the Tower of Dusk, as well as the wanton roar of Ivrea in battle, before the voice of the Golden Knight Artoria came out in a few seconds.
"I'm still on the battlefield, what's wrong, what's wrong?"
"Take a trip to Galcut, there's an adventure for you to take." Asher said, "Bring your two sets of gear. β
Artoria was silent for a few more seconds, as if dragged into the battle, and after a while, she replied, "Okay, I'll go back to the city at once, and I'll be there in three minutes." β
Just after three minutes, Artoria arrived at Galkat.
She walked out of the teleportation array, and at a glance saw Asher and Elegy waiting not far away, and immediately walked here, the Sword of the Gods and the Titan Aegis crossed on Artoria's back, her whole body covered in shiny silver armor, like a moving fortress full of oppressive power.
Elegy glanced at Artoria, the golden knight who was gradually approaching, and her brow furrowed even more.
He originally hoped that it would be best to have only him and Ashur, but in fact, with the strength of the two of them, one melee and one ranged complementary, it was enough to complete the task, but Ashur dragged two people in.
He didn't understand that Asher was guarding against him, but he could only accept itβwhether it was with the Tower of Dusk or with the Silver Angel, although he was a provider of information, he was the weaker party.
Because these super forces can leave him, he can't do it without the help of these people.
When Artoria approached, Asher introduced him, "This is an elegy, our leader on this expedition, Vivien, has gone to prepare things, and when he comes, we can set off." β
Artoria was not good at acting, but she was definitely not stupid, she glanced at the elegy, and immediately understood what Asher meant, and why Ashur wanted him to bring two sets of equipment.
In her storage space, there is a full set of high-level Overseer suits, epic military uniforms, and the best anti-personnel equipment under the Generalissimo's outfit so far, which he has worn all the time when he was on the battlefield.
Artoria was much friendlier than Vivien, she stretched out her hand and shook the elegy, and then she also stood behind Asher, and after a while, Vivien also returned here, he was also ready, all the preparations were completed, and Asher also nodded. led the three of them into the teleportation array in turn.
The Akaclyde Mountains, located on the northern edge of the neutral territory, are surrounded by some elite-level monsters, and at the same time as the Far North Continent is opened, the teleportation function of the neutral order is also turned on, resulting in a large number of adventurers who are difficult to cross the edge of the camp have poured in, and this area has long been explored.
When Ashur arrived there with three men. They also put on their hoods to cover their identities, passed through the leveling adventurers, and walked towards the place where the elegy said.
Once at the edge of the Akaclyde Mountains, Elegy replaced Asher as the leader, leading the three members of the Tower of Twilight through the rugged edges, through many hidden paths, all the way to the depths of the mountains.
All the monsters encountered along the way were dealt with by Vivien's sword, and these monsters that were just ordinary elites did not delay the time of Ya Xiu and the others at all. After walking in it for about ten minutes, the monsters began to gradually become scarce.
When the surrounding monsters start to decrease. When he finally disappeared completely, Asher knew that he and the others were almost at their destination.
Again through a dense grove of grassy blades. Elegy stopped in front of a mountain wall, and Asher and the other three followed him, and at the same time looked around, there were no monsters and adventurers at all, and there were all rugged and steep stone walls around, leaving only a small space in the middle.
"This is it."
Ashur stepped forward and followed the elegiac gaze to the top of the stone wall, but unfortunately, as a mage, his vision was much worse than that of an epic thief, he didn't see anything, Ashur rubbed his eyes, and then turned on the arcane vision.
Suddenly, the stone wall in front of him became clear, and countless subtleties came into Asher's eyes, and in the upper right corner of the stone wall, Ashur saw a series of inscriptions similar to words, but he didn't recognize them.
The inheritance items of the arcane guardian, the book of truth, the deputy item of the arcane guardian profession, in addition to the rules of recording, there are also a large number of legends, epic spells and language records, Asher has mastered powerful languages including ancient elves, dragons, etc., as well as walrus language, caveman language and other cold languages, including languages that have appeared tens of thousands of years before and after the magic age, but he doesn't know the string of things in front of him that are obviously words.
Asher couldn't help but be curious.
"What language is this script?" Asher asked.
"I don't know, I just know what it means, live or die." Elegy shook his head and said lightly, "There is an area under this text, as long as you attach the token to it, the entrance will open." β
"You know so well, have you ever gone in and explored?" Ashur looked at the stone wall and said. "If you know what's going on inside, let us know first, and we'll be prepared."
"I've been in." Elegy nodded in acknowledgement, "This is not the official entrance to the pit, but was dug up by the later Defia thieves, and after entering it is a dark and narrow passage, which leads to the entrance area of the mine, which has been occupied by lava fields. β
"Was that what you only got there last time?" Vivien also walked up and wondered, "No other news?" With your strength, you should be able to dive deeper into a deeper place, how can you retreat at the entrance. β
"Yes." When Elegy said this, his brows also furrowed, "Because, the monsters at the entrance, I took a peek, are all very powerful and evil monsters, and there are also legendary-level existences among them, and when I came last time, they were only legendary-level, and I didn't have the ability to enter at all." β
Asher nodded thoughtfully.
These monsters all have ancient bloodlines, their strength is strong, and they are the remnants of the Defia thieves, they must be very strong, plus a large number of legendary monsters, no wonder he can't get in.
However, now the lineup of Ya Xiu's team is extremely luxurious, and it can definitely scare a so-called elite team to death when exposed, composed of four epic masters and god-level masters, each of whom has at least one piece of mythical equipment, and most of the forbidden places can come and go freely.
A little bit of ancient monsters is naturally not a problem.
"Then let's go in." Asher said, "Open it." β
Elegy stretched out his hand and pressed his palm against the stone wall. Pressing the incomprehensible line of words with his fingertips, an engraved emblem appeared on the ring of the Hand of the Celestial Gods, like a red-hot soldering iron, and instantly imprinted a clear and colored symbol on the stone wall.
It was a distorted, abstract face masked by a dark red mask.
"Click."
There was a roaring sound of prying, and a spell glow appeared on the stone wall, and then a crack appeared in the middle of the originally seamless stone wall, slowly parting to the sides, revealing the dark and deep entrance inside.
Elegy lowered his hand and took the lead and walked inside. Asher, Vivien, and Artoria followed, and when the four of them had fully walked in, Elegy turned his head in the darkness and fumbled around the rocks for a while before Ashur heard the stone door behind him rumble shut.
Suddenly, everything around them fell into a deathly silence, and darkness came in densely, and Asher and the other four stood in the darkness, so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.
"Bang."
With a crisp snap of the fingers. A faint blue flame flickered and floated above Asher's head, bringing with it a large amount of light source and dispelling the darkness around him. The crowd was able to see their surroundings clearly.
It was a dark and narrow passageway, the surrounding rock walls were covered with frenzied nicks, and there was a musty smell in the air, and Asher looked down and sniffed. He took out a few bottles of medicinal water from his backpack and gave them to everyone.
"I don't know if there are toxins in the environment here, although you didn't notice it last time you came, but you can't guarantee that you won't have problems if you stay for a long time. To be on the safe side, drink the poison resistance potion first. Asher said as he drank the potion.
With security measures in place, Ashur took the lead and walked forward, there was only one passage here, and by the light all the way forward, and soon Ashur and the other four came to the place where the Elegy said, where he had arrived last time.
Walking out of the passage, there was a wide platform, and in front of the platform was boundless darkness, Asher stepped forward, came to the front of the platform, and took out Kadolin. The Guardian's Staff of Mythology unleashed a light dance against the darkness ahead.
A dazzling ball of light rose in the darkness, illuminating a pitch-black world, and suddenly the whole of the entire pit came into Usher's eyesβ
The entire platform where Asher and the other four were located was almost suspended in the air, or it had been hollowed out below, and in the bottomless abyss under their feet, there were countless chains and suspension bridges extending in all directions, densely connected between the rock walls, extending all the way to the extremely deep underground, and countless landing planes with ropes hanging on the dome.
At the same time, Asher also saw the monster that the elegy said.
The moment he saw these monsters, Ashur's face was stunned, and then he immediately dispelled the Dancing Light Technique and put away Kadolin. The Guardian's Staff of Mythology, takes a few steps back into the darkness.
"What's wrong?" Vivien asked softly.
"It's cavemen, they have the smell of lava on them," Asher said with a breath, "and it's not going to be easy. β
Before Ashur came, he actually had a faint premonition, after all, what kind of monsters would inhabit in this dark pit environment? This is not a frozen wasteland, there is no existence of crypt demons, so there are more dark races such as cavemen and drow.
The reason why Ashur is not easy to say is because the cavemen are very distinctive, they originate from the same ancestor as the dwarves, they are all descendants of the stone spirits, but they have evolved much more deformed, the weakest of the cavemen are just the goods that have been simply disposed of by humans, and the stronger ones are strong enough to kill the most powerful adventurers in the dark.
These creatures will not only gain combat power bonuses in the dark, but the darkness has almost no negative impact on them, cavemen rely on hearing and smell activities, and have a strong sense of stimulation to light sources, so Ashur will immediately turn off the dance light technique to avoid himself and others being discovered.
"Cavemen of the higher ranks?" Artoria stepped forward and asked. "The highest-level cavemen I've ever killed, that is, ordinary guys, I heard that the cavemen who reach above this will mutate very much, these are still elite, legendary-level group cavemen, it's really not easy to do."
"Looks like you're really right with a tank." Ashur smiled bitterly, "The best way to fight these creatures in the dark is to rely on the rock wall and solve it little by little, fighting guerrilla is purely looking for death." β
Although Ashur and the others are epic adventurers, with the effect of level-level crushing here, and Ashur can use flying skills to come and go freely in rugged mines, but these cavemen have survived here for an unknown amount of time, and adventurers will never be as flexible as they are.
With Ashur's strength, using large attack magic in the mine, or even just the escape of some spells, would directly destroy the entire place, and Ashur could only choose to rely on his teammates and deal with them little by little.
At this moment, Asher was suddenly stunned, sensing that something was wrong, and looked around for a while, only the vague outlines of Vivien and Artoria were in the darkness behind him.
"Where's the elegy?"
Ashur suddenly became nervous, ignoring the danger, and hurriedly turned on the Dancing Light Technique.
In the light of the light, Ashur saw the elegy at a glance, he did not go far, but came to the edge of the platform, where there was a landing machine hovering, Elegy strode and sat up, and when he saw Ashur, he said to him, "We are going to sit down here." β
As he spoke, he also pointed to other hovering landing machines not far away.
A hint of surprise flashed in Asher's eyes, and he nodded, telling Vivien and Artoria to get on the landing plane as well.
Those adventurers who don't have the ability to fly do rely on this, as well as those chains and drawbridges to move through the huge hollowed-out pits, but Ashur is more concerned about Elegy's familiar road, and when he was still groping for the darkness, Elegy had already found his way down.
Although he did come here last time, what he said was that because he had encountered a monster and retreated, according to the location of the monster that Ashur saw now, it should not be able to threaten the elegy on this platform, in this case, it should be impossible for him not to go down and explore......
Ashur was silent, but already on guard, Elegy probably knew more about the following situation, and as a thief, it was already too obvious what he could do.
Ashur walked to the edge of the platform, blessed himself with flying skills, and then jumped down, suspended in midair, and with the elegy pressed the switch, the landing plane slid down the rope, and disappeared in front of Ashur's eyes with great speed, Vivien and Artoria looked at Ashur.
Ashur nodded to them, and the two of them followed the elegy and descended into the darkness below, and Ashur put away all the equipment and props that would glow on his body, and flew down.
Asher didn't notice that shortly after he had escaped into the darkness, a faint light suddenly emanated from the platform where they had been.
In the blurred darkness, the figure flickered slightly.
I don't know how many years ago, by what kind of organization or race dug this pit, all the way to the depths of the earth, Asher followed Vivien, Elegy and others landing planes all the way down.
Ashur wasn't sure if there were a lot of cavemen around, but just looking at the number of cavemen near the entrance, Ashur didn't dare to move easily, he wasn't afraid that he could fly, but if he provoked countless cavemen to come out, Vivien and the three would definitely hang in the ground.
So along the way, he just used his arcane vision to constantly observe the surrounding situation through the darkness to ensure that there was no danger, and then followed Vivien and the other three all the way down.
"Is the location of the treasure hidden underground?" Ashur flew closer to the elegy and asked.
"I can only be sure of the pit, but I don't know exactly where it is." Elegy is also frowning, since he came here, he has not been easy, and he has been thoughtful all the way.
Yashu was also silent when he heard this, he thought that Elegy knew more accurate news, but now it seems that there are many mines dug out of the rock wall below this pit, plus the suspension bridges and chains that extend in all directions, there are countless places where things can be hidden, if you look for them one by one, I don't know when it will be.
Asher flew to Vivien's side again.
