Chapter 41 Irondale, Moonstone Garden

This was Levin's first time using Floo, and it didn't feel good.

After being engulfed by the flames, he seemed to be sucked into a huge socket hole, and his body seemed to be spinning rapidly... The whistling sound in his ears was deafening... The short few seconds seemed as long as days.

It wasn't until he felt the cold winter wind blowing that he realized that he had reached his destination.

Levin looked up and saw that he was in front of an open fireplace, surrounded by a small village. ,

The village is not big, with a rough count of about ten houses.

Because it is located in a mountainous area, the entire village is actually built on a hillside, and the heights of the houses are very obvious.

The most conspicuous thing in the village is the windmill at the highest point, which looks like a little giant with a white hat under the dim night sky.

It was Christmas Eve, and there was a fine amount of snow falling in the sky. Both the ground and the roofs were completely white, and all the cabins were brightly lit. Everyone was celebrating Christmas at home, and there was basically no one outside.

This is Levin's destination, the village of Irondale,

The Moonstone Garden he was looking for was at the foot of the mountain ahead.

The boy tightened his thick robe, took out his wand, and applied a series of buffs to himself:

The toughness of the bear, the strength of the bull, the elegance of the cat, the majesty of the eagle, the cunning of the fox, the wisdom of the owl, mage armor, frost armor, obscurity, and oil on the soles of the feet.

Strengthen yourself in all aspects before giving up.

With the help of magic, Levin's physical fitness surpasses that of ordinary people in all aspects.

A little bit of wind and snow couldn't stop him at all.

Walking along the road in Irondale, at the speed he blessed with [oiling the soles of his feet], he walked for about twenty minutes before he saw the terrain similar to what he remembered.

After all, the game is a game and can only be used as a reference. In reality, both Irondale and this hill are much larger than in the game.

When he came to the familiar steep hillside, Levin did not go any further. Instead, he came to the cliff on the left and cast a [Spider Walking Technique] for himself.

This spell gives him the ability to crawl on walls like a spider.

After confirming that there was no one else nearby, he climbed down the side of the mountain wall. It didn't take long for him to see the open space hidden in the mountain wall below.

There are familiar stone formations in the open space.

However, the stone formation at this time was covered with a layer of white snow, and there was neither the Moon-Crazy Beast nor any mysterious symbols.

Levin didn't take it seriously either, because the real destination was not here.

He walked further and soon saw a smooth mountain wall.

This made him frown,

If the game is correct, there is a huge underground palace hidden in the mountain in front of you, and there is a treasure called "Scholar's Moon Stone" hidden deep in the underground palace.

Although I don’t know why [Knowledge of Legends] led him here, there is no doubt that if the gryphon beak cannot be found outside, then it should be hidden in this underground palace.

But what should have been the entrance to the underground palace cave is now a natural mountain wall.

Could it be that his memory is wrong?

Levin thought for a while and simply closed his eyes.

Since you can't see it with your eyes, let's try it through perception.

"[Psychic Reconnaissance]!"

The power of the mind turned into tentacles and spread forward, quickly touching the mountain wall.

But there, Levin's spiritual tentacles sensed nothing, and were even able to continue deeper,

This shows that the so-called "mountain wall" is not what it seems.

The mountain wall is just an illusion.

"Is it illusion magic?"

Levin frowned, sensing something was wrong.

He immediately chose to use [Detection Magic] on the mountain wall carefully.

Sure enough, we found some clues.

In addition to illusion magic, Levin also noticed traces of warning magic and [Muggle Expelling Curse].

And not long after these magics were cast,

Obviously, there's someone inside.

"Sneaking here on Christmas Eve is either a dark wizard or a poacher. Anyway, he won't be a good person."

Levin immediately made a judgment,

It seems that it is right to add so many buffs to yourself in advance.

For a while, Levin began to wonder if he should leave.

After all, he has only been exposed to magic for less than half a year, and he is in a period of insignificant development. It is not the time to show off his strength, and he should not confront others head-on.

With his current means, it would be okay to encounter one or two dark wizards.

If there were too many enemies, he wouldn't be able to deal with them.

However, when he thought that the clues to the gryphon's beak that he had finally obtained were lost like this, he was unwilling to accept it.

What if this griffon beak is also the target of these people?

What if the gryphon's beak is on them?

If I escape tonight, who knows when I will be able to find clues about the gryphon's beak next time.

"How about we go in first to see the situation and then make a decision?"

"My [Invisibility Technique] is far more effective than [Illusion Spell]. I rely on [Invisibility Technique] to go in and investigate. As long as I'm careful, I shouldn't be discovered by them."

"What if the people inside are not that strong, or if there is a chance to secretly take the gryphon beak, wouldn't it be a profit?"

"Anyway, we are just exploring the road. If we really can't defeat it, it's not too late to leave, right?"

"It's too cowardly to scare yourself away without even seeing anyone."

After five minutes of careful consideration, Levin made his decision.

Get in!

So, he cast [Invisibility Technique] on himself, then carefully bypassed the warning magic and entered the underground palace.

Walking straight along the corridor, Levin realized that the space inside was really quite big.

This corridor alone goes tens of meters deep into the mountain, and there is a cave inside.

At the end of the corridor, there is an open circular stone chamber, about twenty to thirty square meters.

Levin looked around the room. The surrounding walls were composed of stone bricks and large stone slabs. The stone walls were covered with ancient Celtic-style reliefs and were surrounded by moss. They had a long history.

There were lighting torches on the walls. According to Levin's observation, this was not the ancient fire of Kublai.

In other words, these were all set on fire by the previous wave of visitors.

This stone chamber is surrounded by four corridors, one is the direction he came from, and the other three are on the left and right sides and directly opposite the entrance.

But the corridors on the right and opposite sides have collapsed over the years and are inaccessible. Only the corridor on the left is still open.

Levin stepped forward, tested with his spiritual power, and confirmed that there was no one else behind the door. Then he opened the door slightly and continued forward.

Seeing another long and deep corridor in front of him, Levin stepped lightly and carefully walked to the end of the corridor, where there was another stone door.

He came to the door and used his psychic powers to conduct reconnaissance as before. Unlike last time, this time he heard the sound of human conversation.

Levin heard a male voice say: "Have you hidden any wine? It's too boring to stay here and look after the door. Why don't you drink some."

Immediately afterwards, an English speaker with a serious accent that Levin could not recognize responded: "Are you crazy? If the boss knows that we drink while guarding the door, he will kill us!"

"What's the big deal?" the first voice said confidently, "On a good Christmas Eve, everyone is obviously staying by the warm fire with their families, but we are the only ones who have to stay in this cold tomb with a bunch of people. This treatment is too much for scum being together, why don’t you let us have a few sips?”

"Maybe... you are right." The man with the accent seemed to be convinced, so there was a rustling sound behind the door, and soon he remembered the crisp sound of the glass bottle colliding with the stone, and the bubbles when the bottle was uncorked. sound.

It seems that they got the wine.

After hearing this, Levin realized that his opportunity was coming.
