Chapter 362: Corridor
Chapter 362: Corridor
At the end of the stairs, a stone door appeared in front of everyone. It was almost the same as the stone door on the ground. It had the same design and patterns, but it was standing on the ground.
“Another restriction! D*mn it, why are there so many restrictions!”
“Jackman, Jackman, it’s your turn!”
Similar to the stone door on the land, this stone door was also covered with complicated restrictions and magic arrays. However, with the help of Jackman’s Wizard tool, [Enter the Door), everyone easily entered the door.
The scene behind the door was also exposed in front of everyone’s eyes.
This was… a low palace.
In the spacious hall, there were a few tall and big stone pillars supporting it. The flat floor was plastered with square stone bricks. The stone bricks had obviously been meticulously polished and were very smooth and clean. It was even like a mirror that could reflect the scene on it.
On top, there was an arc-shaped ceiling dome. On top of the dome, there was a scene of the night sky that was painted with azure water colors. The night sky was filled with stars and the moonlight was dazzling. It looked exceptionally beautiful.
There were wall lamps embedded in the stone pillars. The moment everyone walked down, a series of ‘bang bang bang’ sounds could be heard. The wall lamps embedded in the stone pillars lit up one after another. The burning candlelight quickly lit up the entire hall. “What a spacious space!”
Jackman looked around and praised, “Alza, the construction of your ancestor’s Wizard tower is really not bad. This kind of decoration can be considered high-end even in Deep Sea Kiss, right, Heath?”
Heath nodded. “It is indeed not bad.”
Not to mention other things, just the dome on the top required a high level of craftsmanship to be completed. It also required a high level of skill to be able to polish the floor so smooth. These were not only magic, but also cultural heritage.
Alza said proudly, “After all, that was the most glorious era of our Fons family.”
After a brief reminiscence of the past, Alza immediately commanded the Knights to continue exploring.
“Huiman, bring some people over to take a look.”
“Yes.”
The Knights dispersed to the surroundings while Heath and the others waited on the spot. This hall was extremely spacious. Whether Alza had a detailed map or something like that, he could only use this method to feel the general situation of this place. If he encountered any danger, he would be able to retreat in time.
However, after waiting for a while, a scream suddenly came from the front.
“Ah!!!”
The voice was very clear in the silent hall and instantly reached the ears of Heath and the others.
Alza frowned. “What happened?”
Jackman pointed to a corridor on the left and said, “The voice came from that side.”
After waiting for a few minutes, a few Knights rushed over. Heath noticed that the Knights were more or less covered in blood, and some of them even had obvious wounds on their bodies.
The Knight knelt on one knee and said, “Sir Wizard, we can’t go through in front. There are magic traps over there…”
The Knights roughly reported the situation they had encountered to Alza. They heard from the Knights that they were attacked when they explored the corridor in front, magic traps and some restrictions had been set up in the corridor.
The three of them exchanged looks and quickly came to a general agreement.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
They came to the corridor that the Knights mentioned. It looked similar to most of the corridors in the castle. It was a long narrow corridor with oil paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor, there were wall lamps on the walls.
A Knight pointed at an oil painting and gnashed his teeth. “When we just walked over, that oil painting attacked us.”
Heath looked in the direction that the Knight pointed. It was a portrait oil painting. The oil painting depicted a man in a cashmere long robe. He wore a jazz hat on his head and had two small tufts of beard. He held a fruit knife in his left hand and an apple in his right hand. He looked like a ranger.
When everyone’s eyes were fixed on the oil painting, the owner of the oil painting came to life strangely. He turned his head to look at Heath and the others and said arrogantly, “What are you looking at? If you want to die here, come here.”
“Ghost Guard!” the three people said in unison.
Everyone recognized the identity of the painting. It was commonly known as the Ghost Guard.
This kind of Ghost Guard was similar to Nina in Heath’s hands. They were both spirit artifacts. The difference was that this kind of Ghost Guard was forcibly cultivated by Wizards using the souls of ordinary people. It generally did not have intelligence or communication ability. It would only follow the orders of the Wizards themselves. Therefore, it was often used by Wizards to guard the house, guard the treasury, and so on.
Alza quickly went forward and bowed. “Phantom, I am the 128th generation bloodline of the Fons family. The master of this palace is my ancestor. He is no longer here. Now, I am here under the orders of the family to take over this place.”
The phantom said rudely, “This is the Wizard tower of Wizard Valkyrie. If you don’t want to die, then leave quickly.”
Alza frowned and tried to explain again, “Sir, I am…”
“I don’t care who you are. I only accept the instructions of Wizard Valkyrie. No one can be the master of Jill except him!”
As he spoke, a huge hexagram magic array appeared in the middle of the corridor. Following that, dozens of fireballs the size of basketballs rushed out of the magic array and smashed at Alza.
“Sir, be careful!”
“Protect Sir Wizard!”
The Knights brandished their swords and raised their shields, rushing forward one after another. However, their temporary defenses were not able to withstand a single blow from the fireballs. The blades of their swords burned red when it came into contact with the fireballs and quickly melted into molten iron. The oak shield was also instantly burned into ashes.
At the critical moment, Alza hurriedly raised his cane and drew a line in the air, summoning a water shield. However, even when the water shield of the Wizard touched the fireball, a series of sizzling sounds could be heard. The water shield instantly boiled and a large amount of water vapor rose. The large water shield collapsed and quickly melted.
Seeing that the water shield was about to collapse, at this moment, a silver curtain-like liquid metal unfolded in front of Alza and the others.
The remaining fireballs hit the liquid metal with a loud rumble. The liquid metal shook continuously, but it did not collapse as quickly as the previous water shield. Instead, it withstood the attacks of the fireballs one after another until the last fireball collapsed on the liquid metal.
