Chapter 642 Become a mortal! Become the protagonist of this era!
The ferry approaches the tombs surrounding the River of the Abyss.
Wizard Warwick did not hesitate immediately and stepped directly into the mausoleum city. He squatted down, used a concentration monocle lens, and leaned over to look at the rocks on the ground. "It's just an ordinary M-type magic granite, so that's right. In the Age of Stars, alchemy was far less developed than it is today."
"These magic granites are products of nature. Although they are beautiful, they are only naturally produced and reliable in function. However, mining is extremely damaging to the environment. Mining has been restricted by the White Wizards Association for a long time." The magic granite, a high-end building material, is worth a lot of money if it is sold."
"Now the mining of magic granite is restricted, and the annual output is limited."
The next moment, he saw Witch Charlie and Wizard Warwick at the same time, looking at him with knife-like eyes.
Wizard McKinley said quickly: "I was joking."
"Everyone, I am also a professor of archeology. How could I not know the preciousness of historical materials. Hahaha... I was joking."
In the eyes of the two men, who were about to kill, Wizard McKinley quickly raised his left hand and pledged: "I swear on all my savings, I have absolutely no intention of demolishing this city and selling M-shaped magic granite."
"I'm not kidding."
Warwick snorted. "You really shouldn't be joking casually."
Locke scanned the city and saw that the main body of the city was built with M-shaped magic granite, and various buildings had a special ancient style.
The parts that were supposed to be private houses all had the structure of a fortress.
It reflects that in the Age of Stars, a medium-sized war will break out at any time, and countries will fight endlessly. In that era, civilians will hardly enjoy peace.
Unlike the current modern era of magic, where peace is the main theme, most mortal societies in the wizarding world have entered a period of peace for a long time.
Locke and others walked on the streets and alleys and saw that these ancient buildings rarely had windows, and the few windows that looked like them were equipped with crossbows and other equipment.
What made Warwick feel ashamed was that they saw several corpses turned into withered bones on the street, leaving only wizard robes.
Warwick checked a little and confirmed the identities of these people. "Some are local wizards from the Qionghua Enclave, and some are wizards from your Yunze Wetland. Look at this one, this one is actually a wizard from the Rose Council, and this one is a wizard from the Storm Tower."
"They should have fought with each other on this street. Certain buildings showed signs of damage. I just don't know why, but they died here." Warwick frowned and used archaeological magic to summon the King of the Dead, a tall black warrior undead.
He communicated with the undead, and finally shook his head slightly at Locke and others. "No useful information has been found. There should be no danger in this street."
"At least I haven't detected it. Or, not yet."
Witch Charlie examined the corpses and said: "Based on my years of experience in examining corpses, these corpses are basically not archaeological wizards. In other words, these people did not come here because of an archaeological operation."
"They came here not for academic research, but to find some special magic resources."
Locke frowned. "In other words, these wizards treated this as a wild wizard's secret realm."
Locke suddenly thought of another thing. Wizards' secret realms basically have echoes of wizards. So, will there be echoes of the Loom Princess in this ancient tomb?
Wizard Warwick was a little anxious. "In this case, we should quickly find the location of the princess's main tomb in this tomb group."
"If that group of laymen find it first, they may destroy the information about the ancient tomb. In that case, it is likely that some mysteries will be sealed in history forever!"
"It will never see the light of day again!"
Locke said: "Warwick, we have to maintain our previous rhythm. This mausoleum city is very dangerous." Warwick received Locke's reminder, nodded, took a deep breath, and then said: "Yes."
"I am too anxious."
"But if we lose our perspective, we are likely to pay a greater price."
Locke looked down at the bricks on the street surface, and saw a line of words engraved on some of the granite bricks on the street surface. [There are one hundred people here, ninety-nine of them are mortals and one is a wizard. Who among them is civilization itself? 】
Locke summoned his own Book of Suzerains and recorded the historical information on the negative energy particles on the brick.
Warwick et al. also noticed this problem. "Who is civilization itself? It must be the wizard."
Locke frowned and asked: "Is civilization a person? If civilization is the wizard, doesn't it mean that even if the ninety-nine mortals die immediately, it will not affect civilization?"
"Is the civilization of one person still a civilization?"
Warwick was stunned for a moment. "Indeed. But why is this question left on the ground of Princess Loom's tomb?" Locke thought: "If this is really the tomb of the unknown king in history, then this question is worth pondering. Perhaps, this is related to the curse of the unknown king being removed."
Warwick looked down at the line of words on the brick and frowned. "But among a hundred people, only one is a wizard. So no matter how you look at it, that wizard is the most important. He should be the leader."
Locke coughed and reminded him: "Mr. Warwick, just a week ago, you were still complaining about the wizards in the Qionghua Enclave who worked hard enough but were not talented enough. Have you forgotten it so quickly?"
Wizard Warwick subconsciously retorted: "Locke, how can wizards and mortals be the same? They are not the same species at all."
Locke glanced at him in surprise, but did not refute.
Because this is an irrelevant question.
After Wizard Warwick finished speaking, he was also stunned. "No, I also had a period when I was a mortal. Every wizard has a period when he was a mortal. It would not be right to say that he is not a mortal."
h "McKinley, Miss Holy Master, what do you think?" Look, there are still words on the bricks ten meters away in front. "
At this time, the four of them opened their own books of suzerains. The four books of suzerains continued to release magical radiance, using the [Historical Projection] spell model to absorb the surrounding negative energy particle field historical materials.
Enrich your own suzerain book.
The four of them looked down at the small words carved on the second brick - [If among these one hundred people, ninety-nine mortals are determined to develop their own civilization, live a good life, wear decent clothes, and build decent buildings; and the wizard is a necromancer who keeps company with bones every day and makes friends with ghosts, who is the civilization? 】
The four of them looked at this passage and were confused.
Wizard McKinley said: "This Loom Princess is really looking for trouble."
Witch Charlie thought: "Yes. Can the Necromancer be considered a human being? How can something that is not a human being be considered a civilization? So... under this extreme assumption, ninety-nine mortals among these one hundred people are civilized."
Warwick and McKinley looked at her angrily.
Wizard Warwick coughed and said, "Miss Holy Master, you are biased. But the Necromancer...if he is obsessed with those dead corpses, he really has no motivation to develop other civilizations."
hip "In this hypothesis, those ninety-nine mortals are indeed more representative of civilization."
Locke said: "It is better to say that these one hundred people are part of civilization. Everyone is part of civilization, so there is no need to argue about who is civilized."
The three wizards all nodded and suddenly realized that they all fell into the inertial thinking on this brick and were led astray in their thinking.
Just because this is what the ancients said, the three of them were involuntarily led astray by it.
The three of them continued walking forward and found a new carving record on the granite bricks 10 meters ahead - "If these one hundred people are all part of civilization." So why did ninety-nine mortals listen to that wizard? 』
Perhaps one day in the future, all mortals and wizards will have the same status. Mortals also have the ability to determine their own destiny. Will that day come? My great...』
The four people’s eyes were fixed.
Because the last part of the writing was erased out of thin air, only the scar-like traces of erasure left after destruction were left.
Locke thought: "The words on these three bricks represent that Princess Loom has a very dangerous ideological tendency." 』
“The foundation of the Age of Stars is to use the personal power of the Witch King to maintain a kingdom and form magic kingdoms one after another. But these ideas were already threatening the foundation of that era. 』
『If Princess Loom just talks about it, that’s all. But if she did do it... then..."
McKinley said dissatisfied: "Only wizards can lead those mortals to become better. This princess is really good at talking nonsense."
Witch Charlie couldn't help but said: "But in In that assumption, the wizard is just a necromancer, he will only lead civilization to destruction, he is nothing, he is just a walking zombie, an underground rat. "
"I think the ninety-nine mortals will live happier without him."
Wizard McKinley said angrily: "What if the necromancer summons the undead to help mortals live?"
Witch Charlie said: "He won't. He will only turn those mortals into his own skeletons. The necromancer tramples on the dignity of life and death at the same time, and already despises life." Mortals? Even if he can deceive himself and endure it at first, as long as those mortals do something heinous, he will immediately find a reason to use evil magic to deal with those mortals. "
"Besides, the existence of undead is evil. Undead cannot be consumed..." Witch Charlie coughed and changed her words: "Undead itself is a product of negative energy, and just being close to mortals will cause mortals to die quickly."
"I don't think the existence of the Necromancer is of any benefit to mortals."
Warwick breathed heavily. "Miss Holy Master, are you too biased against our dark wizards?"
Wizard McKinley said: "Mr. Warwick, I have tolerated her all the way! If you look down on us so much, why do we need to act together!"
Witch Charlie sneered and was about to speak when she suddenly frowned. At the same time, the Holy Master's spell that protected her soul, the one-ring spell model, Embrace of the Goddess, flashed in the depths of her soul.
Witch Charlie suddenly woke up.
At the same time, she looked at Locke, walked directly to Locke's ear, and snapped her fingers. "wake up!"
Locke was also stunned for a moment, and then he saw that the surrounding environment had changed drastically, and he saw that the four of them had not entered the street.
Did not enter the city.
Just standing on the dock of landing city.
There are indeed many corpses of wizards from the modern magic era on the dock. At the same time, the architectural styles in the city are indeed exactly the same as those observed before, but I have never been close to them.
Locke saw the different colored brick mosaics on the wall next to the stairs on the pier.
The only thing I saw on this brick painting was the scene I saw when I entered the "city" just now. It was an aerial view of a small mausoleum city.
At the same time, through the lens of concentration glasses, Locke saw three problems on the bricks of the street scenes in the subtleties of these brick paintings.
"This is... a magic painting." Locke reacted quickly. "This is a brick painting technique similar to magic painting. All of us before us fell into an illusion the moment we landed on the dock."
Cold sweat appeared on Locke's back.
Witch Charlie nodded, "If I were not the Holy Master and the mentally strongest among the four of you, I am afraid that we would have started to fight among ourselves. The brick paintings on this wall are not only illusions, but also the magic of the school of enchantment, which can make us angry and argue without knowing it."
"The three questions in the painting should only be deliberately irritating us. That in itself is an issue that can easily cause conflicts. "
Locke glanced at Witch Charlie. "Really?"
At this time, the brick wall mural suddenly started to move automatically, and the bricks moved one by one.
Witch Charlie suddenly said: "This is not an illusion!"
The brick painting turned into a line of words - [Ignorant future generations, how dare you set foot on the resting place of Princess Loom. This place will become your eternal hell! 】
【Giving up your magic power will be your only option to leave here! Become a mortal and become the protagonist of this era! 】
【This is the last mercy of our Lord. 】
Locke frowned.
Witch Charlie said: "The brick wall moves... This seems to be the magic of the Transfiguration School..."
At this time, Warwick suddenly rushed towards Witch Charlie and said angrily: "Explain it to me clearly."
Witch Charlie pushed him away. "Go away, don't touch me. Touch me again, and I will kill you."
Warwick suddenly became furious. "Okay, Holy Master girl, then we have nothing to say. I'm going to kill you today." Witch Charlie didn't care that he was under the enchantment spell, and was about to find trouble. At this moment, murderous intent flashed in Ziran's eyes, and a wand appeared in her hand.
Locke quickly stopped him. "Wait, senior sister. This person still has the historical materials I want. By the way, this operation is so dangerous, he promised me that he would give me the historical materials before the official operation."
"I will wake him up now and ask him to give me the historical materials."
