Chapter 1616 Family Secret Room

Things like blood, internal organs, and human tissues can be preserved for a long time as long as the spell of organ preservation is used. If some blood is drawn from Flavia in advance, it will be as freshly drawn even in hot weather.

As for why I say this, it is because Alde and the others need Flavia's blood to go back.

After the three of them passed through the doorway, they just lit the torch and the lighting spell, and the door behind them was closed again, and it was completely sealed.

To be honest, this operation made Nimia's right eyelid twitch, which did not feel like a good sign.

However, as a wanderer, Nimia's professional ability is still quite strong. The three of them still marched in the formation of Nimia leading, Alde in the middle, and Zora in the rear.

After entering the door, you can immediately see a staircase that tilts downward. Judging from the degree of damage, it should have a history of several hundred years, not too long.

From time to time, you can see a shallow pit filled with some kind of solidified grease on both sides of the stairs. That is a lighting torch that can be ignited.

Keep going down, about 30 meters down, a typical underground city style corridor appeared in front of the three people.

There are traps in the family secret room, and there are definitely not a few of them.

This kind of trap can basically be removed by a specific bloodline. It can be said that if Flavia is here, everyone can go forward boldly without being hurt by the trap.

But relying on the small bottle of blood in Orde's hand is obviously not enough, so the three people need to be extra careful about traps and spells used as traps when they move forward.

Time will destroy many things, but in an underground city with only a few hundred years of history, most of its mechanisms and spells are still intact.

Nimia searched almost inch by inch for possible trap trigger mechanisms, and Orde also hung several prophecy spells on her body as soon as possible to provide danger warnings for the team.

Everyone went along this road for about 40 to 50 meters, and a right-angle bend appeared in front.

This is the hardest hit area where traps will appear, and Nimia carefully explored it.

But the trap was not found, but something else was found.

"There is a hidden door here."

Facing the passageway from where they came, on that wall, Nimia grabbed a handful of dust from the ground and gently sprinkled it on the bricks.

You can see that the dust is slightly sucked in, but it is difficult to find the gap with the naked eye.

Auerdai stepped forward and waved his staff at the wall:

"Detect the secret door."

Almost instantly, a red halo in the shape of a door appeared on the wall.

She looked down at the dust on the ground and said:

"This door was originally protected by a paint that has the ability to avoid detection, but time has caused the paint to decay and fall off."

I remember Flavia said that no one has entered the family secret room in the past one or two hundred years. Obviously, the Subia royal family neglected to maintain it.

Compared to the passageway in the open, the secret door is obviously more suspicious.

Zora asked the other two to step back, and he hung up a defensive magic, and used a short sword as a crowbar to insert it into the crack of the door to pry open the secret door.

Almost at the same time, four or five dark arrows shot from behind the door, but Zora was ready, and the arrows only made a crisp sound.

Orde first threw the light ball of Dancing Light into the darkness.

The first thing that came into view was a wall with a shooting hole on it, and the arrow just now was shot from here.

Then Nimia went forward to check if there were other traps. After confirming that it was safe, everyone entered one after another.

Bypassing this wall that would fire arrows, the first thing that came into view was a passage that was narrower than the outside, and the two sides of the passage were full of mirrors.

Each mirror was the size of a dressing mirror, neatly placed against the wall, but the mirrors were now broken, and a large number of fragments were scattered on the ground, leaving only the gorgeous mirror frame decorated with gilded craftsmanship.

"Why are there so many mirrors?"

Aurda paused for a moment before answering:

"It may be a strategy to avoid being discovered."

"Strategy? To avoid being discovered by whom?"

"Mirrors are very effective refractors, which have a shielding effect on magic or supernatural perception. It is hard to say who they are avoiding for the time being. Let's keep going forward."

The mirrors must have been set up by the royal family of Subia. Aurda found the emblem of the royal family of Subia on the mirror frame.

Continuing forward along this somewhat strange passage, not far away, I saw a skeleton leaning against the wall.

It has been dead for a long time. Not only has it completely turned into bones, but even its bones have begun to turn into fossils.

But when everyone approached, the skeleton suddenly turned its head and raised its arm to point at them, which scared Nimia.

"That's not an undead creature, otherwise it would have rushed up long ago."

"Why is it moving?"

"Probably the remaining resentment."

Aurda walked closer and found that it was the skeleton of an elf, holding a magic wand in his hand.

The size of the wand is slightly longer than chopsticks. It is estimated to be made of elderberry. Judging from the shape, it is a popular style at least hundreds of years ago.

At that time, mages did not like to use wands, thinking that they were too heavy and too big. Instead, they preferred short wands, which made casting spells look as elegant as conducting a concert.

After all, the profession of mage cannot be played without money. Basically, mages are either from merchant families or noble families, and they must have face.

But later it was discovered that face cannot be eaten, and the magic wand is too short and can only provide a weak amplification, so now the magic wand has become the mainstream.

Zora stepped forward and gave the skeleton a set of purification sauna, confirming that the thing was indeed dead, and then Alde stepped forward and pulled hard to take the magic wand from the skeleton.

Although this thing has no practical value, it can be used as a cultural relic for research.

"If I am not mistaken, this person should be the wizard who built the underground palace. In order to ensure safety, the builder of the underground palace was locked up here."

There is a very clear knife wound under the left chest of the skeleton, roughly in the shape of a dagger, and the ribs are cracked, which is very likely to be murder.

It is very troublesome to secretly excavate a huge underground project. After all, it is not something that can be done by one or two people, and it is difficult to keep it secret if there are many people.

But it is not difficult to let a wizard do this. Many wizards will dig underground palaces as laboratories in places where no one knows for magic research, and hide in them to do magic research for decades.

The mirror might have been broken by this person. People found dislocation and fracture marks on the hand bones of the skeleton, but it is not clear why it did this at the last moment of its life.

It suddenly moved just now, which was actually more like a warning, telling visitors not to move forward.

The skeleton was cremated on the spot with a burning hand, and everyone continued to move forward.

You said you would not move forward?

You are not going to farm after hearing the crickets calling?

Not far ahead, they came to an arched doorway. Alde raised her hand to let the light ball of the dancing light technique go in first, and found that there was a very wide room inside. Nimia stretched her head to take a look, and first saw a huge statue standing on the other side of the room.

The statue seemed to be alive, and she could even feel her eyes meeting with that thing...
