Chapter 344: Dusty Crystal
"Squeak."
The tattered tower door was easily pushed open, shaking off the dust. Many years ago, it was possessed enough magic to resist the invasion of a qiē outsider. But it turned out that even the most powerful magic could not withstand the magic of time, and when Jenn reached out and pushed it away, the seemingly intricate and ornate runes on it only flickered slightly, and then completely dimmed, and there was no more reaction.
The entire tower was pitch black, and although the tall crystal statues and the flat and wide hall could vaguely show a little bit of the grandeur of the magic tower, but now it has completely lost its glorious past, except for the plants that have lost their restraints and swelled wildly. Time, the torrent of time ruthlessly obliterates a qiē, and all things in the world are equally reduced to nothingness. Just standing at the gate and staring at the dilapidated and miserable scene in front of you is enough to make people feel awe and fear of the ubiquitous and ubiquitous existence that controls everything in the world.
"Tillise, which side?"
Jenn just glanced at the hall in front of him and withdrew his gaze, he didn't feel any magic here, and the [Evil Eye] couldn't search for the storage of the magical equipment. It seems that the other party hides himself well. But it's no wonder, if it's not well hidden, a storage like this with abundant magic power has been snatched away by other monsters a long time ago, and it won't be hidden until now.
Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Tillise immediately glanced around, and then her gaze stayed on the stairs on the left.
"Over there, Mr. Jenn."
The wooden handrails have been worn out over time, but luckily the staircase itself is made of granite. Compared to handrails, it is much more durable and durable. Even after such a long time, most of them are still intact in their form. Jenn, on the other hand, took Tilis and Aina up the stairs like that. Guided by Tilis, he walked towards the place where the magical equipment had been placed.
I have to admit it. Even without the cover of magic, the mages still have endless ways to hide their secrets, such as the secret door hidden behind the statue, the exit of the staircase that can be rotated at will, and even Jenn has discovered a secret passage formed by the visual difference, which from the outside looks like the end of a path, and if it weren't for Tillise guiding them to walk against the wall, they wouldn't even find what looked like a gap in the corner. There is a secret passage hidden enough for one person to pass through guò. It is rumored that mages like to waste their ingenuity on boring places, and judging from the scene in front of them, it makes sense.
Of course, that doesn't mean that Tillise is smart, in fact, she's only been able to guide Jenn and Aina here thanks to the information she's gotten from the blue light. The other party originally wanted to lure this little white rabbit over to be his puppet, but he didn't expect that there was a big bad wolf behind the little white rabbit.
"It's right ahead. Mr. Jenn. ”
Tilis, who had walked up to the top of the stairs, gasped slightly, and then whispered to Jenn. Hearing Tillise's words, Jenn nodded. During their entry into the tower, two more earthquakes struck in succession. The intervals were almost the same, which reassured Jenn a lot. This means that the seal is still strong, and it should be able to sustain them until they get rid of the trouble here. Of course. This also hides another message from Jenn - an ancient evil that needs to be sealed with the sunglasses and the fragments of the Death Shadow Gate, and the three artifacts are only part of this huge seal. This in itself shows that the ancient evil buried beneath the Lost City is definitely not ordinary, and it may even be an ancient god. As you can imagine. Once the seal is completely destroyed, the hidden existence of the zài will break through the ground, and how much disaster and destruction will it bring to this world.
However, this has nothing to do with Jenn, although the demons have nothing to do with the old gods, but he will not be stupid enough to stop the wrath of an old god. What's more, the main plane and the Sky Divine Kingdom are watching, shouldn't they be the first to come out and take the blame if something happens? What is the matter with Guan Jenn, the son of the demon king?
Thinking of this, Jenn withdrew his thoughts and looked in the direction that Tillith had pointed out.
In front of them was a dark, completely metal-cast door. The crystal on top had long since eclipsed and lost its brilliance. The whole door looks dark and unobtrusive. To Aina and Tilis, at least, it looked like rusty scrap out there, and it didn't work at all.
But after Jenn saw the gray gate in front of him, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and Tilis and Aina couldn't see it, but Jenn, as a demon, could see at a glance that the gate in front of him was completely made of a rare metal called Nebula Mithril. This metal itself has a powerful forbidden property that can insulate a qiē magic induction. Now Jenn finally understood why he couldn't find this magic item even by using the [Evil Eye] himself. In fact, this Mithril is also often used in the Netherworld, especially when the demons use it to imprison enemies. Because the demons of the lower realm, no matter how high or low, can do magic almost from the day they are born. If the group of idiots in the lower realms of the inhabitants of the main plane built a prison to lock people in, then it is conceivable that wave after wave of prison escapes will continue to appear around them. Therefore, most of the inhabitants of the lower realms, from the lowest-level monsters to the highest-level demon kings, use metal chains mixed with Nebula Mithril when imprisoning their enemies, and even some rich people will wrap their prisons with a circle of Nebula Mithril from the inside out, so that they can isolate the induction of magic in those prisons to prevent them from releasing magic.
And it was this kind of torture instrument that Jenn used when he imprisoned Tinidel, otherwise, how could the dark elf princess, who was born to use high black magic, be imprisoned by Jenn for so many days without the slightest resistance?
If Jenn was a spellcaster, then the sight of this door would be enough to discourage him, Nebula Mithril's forbidden ability is so strong. Even the demigod lich has to kneel when it comes. Other mages are naturally fine, even if you have the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth. Once you step into the range of Nebula Mithril, you will completely become an ordinary person. Until that time. Even a random thug on the street can knock over an archmage with a stick behind his back.
But Jenn wasn't a mage—well, at least not a pure mage. Therefore, after seeing Nebula Mithril, Jenn was only slightly surprised, but he was not so afraid. Aina beside him is not a spellcaster, Tilis is a spellcaster, but now she can't cast holy magic at all, so Nebula Mithril's effect on her is basically equal to zero. Coupled with the fact that time was pressing, Jenn didn't hesitate in the slightest. He strode forward, and then stretched out his hand and pressed it on the door in front of him.
"Hum--!!"
Just as Jenn's hand was on the Mithril door, suddenly, the crystal that originally looked gray suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then an aqua blue barrier appeared in front of the gate. Immediately afterward, four small circles that were spinning appeared in the four corners of the gate, and there was only a "bang". Golden chains of magic flew out of the circle, binding Jenn's hands and feet.
"Mr. Jenn!"
"Master!!"
Seeing this, both Tilis and Aina cried out in surprise. Anyone who is not a fool can tell that Jenn must have touched the counter-attack circle on this gate. But at the moment, there was nothing the two of them could do about it - Tilis was a priest, and she wouldn't break the spell. And Aina is a ranger. On weekdays, it's completely insulated from magic, so when I saw this scene, I didn't know what to do for a while.
However, Jenn was quick to give an answer with action.
The chains of magic bound Jenn's hands and feet. But at this moment, Jenn was not surprised at all, on the contrary. He just raised his hand and pulled it back. Then he threw a punch forward, slamming into the blue barrier in front of him. And then I only heard a loud "boom", and the next moment the magic barrier blocking in front of the gate suddenly disappeared, and the magic chain that originally bound Jenn's limbs also shattered with a "click" at this moment, turning into bits of light and dust scattered on the ground.
If any mage saw this scene at this moment, he would have stared out of his sockets in surprise. You must know that magic attacks are not physical attacks, and the so-called essence of magic is, to put it bluntly, the use of magic to simulate the law. That's why the power of magic is so powerful, because it is impossible for humans to use their own strength to fight against the laws of this world, so they are so vulnerable in the face of magic. Those who can resist the law are all people who stand at the pinnacle of the world, and only they can control, resist and destroy the law.
However, Jenn knew that the reason why he was able to destroy these magical guardians was not that he was really strong enough -- if he wanted to fight against the law, he had to be at least a demigod. It's because with the awakening of the ancient evils, the modern laws here have conflicted with the ancient laws, making the line of laws fragile, so that he succeeded. Otherwise, if it was in a normal state, even if he wanted to get out of this bondage, it would take a lot of effort to do it.
After losing the protection of magic, this door is no longer an obstacle for Jenn, although there is still a physical iron lock inside, but Jenn only stretched out a foot and kicked the entire door open -- although Nebula Mithril is first-class in terms of forbidden demons, its own hardness is not much different from ordinary silver, and it is not very strong at all.
"Boom!!"
The black iron door opened in both directions, slamming against the wall, and for a moment the dust flew and a loud sound echoed in the silent space. Jenn waved his hand, and soon, a stream of air whistled in front of him, sweeping away the dust in front of him. Then, he looked up and looked ahead. Then, Jenn frowned slightly. Not only that, but even Tilis and Aina, who were beside him, widened their eyes in surprise at this time.
In the center of the room in front of them, a crystal pillar two meters high was erected. But the most striking thing is not the crystal pillar itself.
Rather, in it, a scepter loomed in it.
