my age of magic

Chapter 1391. 195. Lifting the ban
When looking down from a high altitude, a section of waterway that doesn't look too far away is actually not that far away.

Fortunately, the lake and mountains here are pleasant, and there seems to be no danger in the water. With Katerina by my side, the journey is naturally very pleasant.

The surface of the lake was sparkling, and a few silver sheath fish splashed not far away, and quickly swam into the bottom of the lake.

The entrance to the Altar of the Banning Formation left by the World Tree was built in the middle of the lake, and it was only after entering that it was clear that it was a magnificent pyramid-style building built with huge bluestones.

The lake water almost submerged the entire altar of the sealing circle. However, the entrance of the altar is located at the top of the temple. It is a gate-like stone gate. The brazier, the two stone basins are full of rainwater, and the edge of one of the stone basins is covered with moss and full of cracks.

I am standing at the entrance of the altar of the banning circle, and one thing is really confusing. It is obviously the altar of the banning circle set up by the World Tree, but the altar of the banning circle is not only located in the central lake of the Thorn Crater, but such an altar was actually built .

Obviously this altar was not prepared for the ancient tree of war, or the world tree that left the forbidden magic circle in the black forest thousands of years ago could not enter here.

So who built this altar?I inevitably had some doubts in my heart.

The huge stone gate in front of him was four or five meters high. Even tall barbarians and tauren warriors should be able to enter the altar, but it was simply too difficult to enter the more than 100 tall ancient war trees.

"Why did you say that the world tree thousands of years ago built the altar of the forbidden magic circle on the facade of a building?" With doubts in my heart, I couldn't help complaining to Katerina who was quietly standing beside me .

Katerina narrowed her eyes and looked at the entrance of the altar protruding from the lake in front of her, slightly pursing her red lips, smiling without saying a word.

I stood in front of the stone gate, looking for a way to open the stone gate, but suddenly heard a voice.

"The building on the altar of this forbidden magic circle is a masterpiece of the Yero people." The voice of the elder Dirham of the ancient war tree came into my spiritual sea.

So the building on this altar was built later, I thought.

Elder Dirham then sent a message to me and said: "They built this temple 2000 years ago to preserve the altar inside. We have been worried that this altar will be completely ineffective after being soaked in lake water for many years, so Let these Yero people in the Black Forest build this building."

Although the seams of these extremely smooth bluestone slabs are covered with moss, it can be seen that the bluestone slabs are very tightly connected, and the middle of the stone seams is plastered with a kind of off-white lime. In addition to being different, it looks like a whole.

Unexpectedly, the stone houses built by the aborigines will be so elegant, especially when they are built in the lake, and the entrance is set on the lake. Just imagine that such a magnificent building must have good waterproof facilities.
"It turns out that this place was actually built by the natives of Yero. It really looks magnificent!"

I squatted in front of the stone steps closest to the water surface, and stuck my head into the water. Only then did I really see the underwater part of the building, extending to the dark place at the bottom. I roughly estimate that the depth of the lake center is at least Several hundred meters long, the quiet bottom of the lake is like a bottomless abyss, as if there is an unknown fear hidden in it.

There is no winch of any kind next to this huge stone door, and I approached carefully looking for a way to open it.

"The method to open the stone gate is very simple. You only need to open the gate of the waterway on the left, and let the lake water pour into the gate along the waterway. When the weight of the lake water poured into the gate is greater than the gate, the gate will automatically open."

Well, I just want to know how to open the stone gate. I opened the sluice gate on the left side of the altar entrance according to Elder Dirham's prompt, and watched the lake water gurgling into the waterway, and the lake water flowed into the stone gate along the dark hole in the waterway. below.

'click'...

'click'...

'click'...

There was the sound of the mechanism turning inside the stone gate, and slowly the entire huge stone gate full of reliefs began to shake and rise up little by little.

A smell of corruption came from the entrance of the altar, I hurriedly held my breath, took out two metal rune plates of 'miniature tornado' from my pocket, stuffed the two pieces of magic spar into the groove of the gem, After a weak vortex of air flow rises from the rune board, place the rune board at the entrance of the altar.

A gap was opened in the stone gate, and I saw that the corridor was very damp through the gap, and the stone floor was covered with wet and slippery moss.

After waiting for a long time, until the stone door opened wide and the exhaust fan brought some fresh air into the corridor, I dragged Katerina into the corridor of the altar. It was very wet and slippery, so I took out a long-handled staff I got from the Elder Tree Fairy from my magic pocket, and walked inside cautiously with the staff.

The smell of mildew and rot in the corridor is very strong, probably from the moss under the feet.

Walking along the passage for tens of meters, the outside light cannot shine in, and the rocky passageway looks very dark. Katerina holds a moonstone in her hand, and there is a faint fluorescent light around her. I found the stone wall of the passageway There are some simple murals engraved on it, and the eyes swept over the murals, only to find that these murals are the records of the construction of this 'temple' by the indigenous people of Yero in the form of murals.

At this time, the 'Heart of Power' hanging on my chest gave off a faint light, and I also cast the 'Light Light Illumination Technique' deep into the corridor.

The corridor in front seemed quiet, so we walked along this corridor to the depths of the altar.The slope of the stone steps in the altar corridor is not too steep, it is a unique design that spirals downward along the four walls.The inside of the corridor was extremely hot and humid, but the strange smell of rot was much lighter, and the slippery moss under the feet was also reduced a lot.

There was the sound of rushing water inside the altar, which sounded like a small waterfall. I don't know how long I walked, but I finally finished the long winding road.

Through a circular arch, I came to an empty hall. The darkness devoured everything here. I cast the 'twilight lighting technique' again, and the magic flare drew a beautiful parabola in the hall. The magic shimmer Wherever it passes, it will be lit up.

I stood where I was, and released ten 'twilight lighting spells' to the surroundings in a row, and then I grasped the overall layout of the altar hall.

This hall is almost as big as a football field. In the center is a circular stone platform. There are more than [-] marble columns standing around this huge stone platform. arch, and I found several braziers on huge stone platforms, although the grease used to kindle the fire inside had dried up, leaving only a few burn marks.

He casually threw the Gathering Flame Rune Board into the stone basin, and the burning flames emerged from the stone basin little by little, and the light filled every space on the altar little by little.

At this time, I finally saw everything inside the altar. Katerina and I stood on the edge of the stone platform. There are four small waterfalls around the stone wall. It is not so much a waterfall as four water jets flowing from the swamp. Spit out from the mouth of the giant crocodile relief and flow into the pool at the bottom of the altar.

It seems that the stone platform in front of me is the altar of the banning circle. I asked Katerina to light up the entire circle around the stone platform with the 'focus fire' rune board.

Stepping up to the stone platform, I found that the stone platform, which was the size of a football field, was engraved with formatted runes, forming a giant magic circle. The lines of this magic circle are very thick, and it looks like Like it's made of magic metal.

Magic perception can easily feel that these metal wires embedded in the stone platform slabs are surging with the power of strong wood magic.

According to Weissman, the ancient war tree in the green valley forest, the forbidden magic circle in the black forest can operate normally for thousands of years, not because the forbidden magic circle has inexhaustible magic power It is the source of the forbidden magic circle, but the mana required by the altar of the forbidden magic circle. In fact, the forbidden magic circle has absorbed the mana of the ancient war trees in the entire forest.

It is precisely because the huge underground banning circle is constantly absorbing the power of the ancient war trees that these ancient war trees are unable to resist and struggle.

When I came here, I found that the heart of power seemed to come alive, and the whole crystal was beating continuously like a heart.

Holding it in the palm of my hand, the feeling will be very strong. Holding this heart of power in my hand, I walked towards the center of the stone platform step by step, as if being pulled by some invisible force, knowing somewhere The center of the stone platform is the central system of the banning circle.

I walked over there, and sure enough, on the stone slab in the center of the stone platform, I found a magic pattern structure traced back by the magic power, but the gemstone groove in the center was empty, and the mana of the wood elements gathered here was also here And waved away. .

I crouch down and place the key of power in the groove...

'Boom...'

Unexpectedly, in the next second, the altar of the forbidden magic circle shook violently, and some huge cracks appeared on the surrounding stone walls during the shaking, and the lake water poured into the hall along the cracks of the building.

Katerina appeared in front of me immediately, without giving me a chance to make any decision, she put her arms around my waist with one arm, and after three short 'blinks', she flickered onto the roundabout.

At this time, the magnificent building shook even more violently, some stones fell from the wall, and as the bluestone strips kept falling, the lake water also flowed in along the cracks in the stones.

We ran desperately along the roundabout, and Katerina pulled me to dodge left and right to avoid the falling stones from the top of my head. Occasionally, I would use 'blink' to flash past the places that I couldn't avoid. , When I ran to the back, she felt that I was running too slowly, so she picked me up on her back, and I lay on her back, with my hands around her neck, feeling her vigorous movements like a cheetah.

Every time he bounced, he would look for a gap in the falling rocks and jump forward a long way.

Katerina carried me on her back and ran to the entrance of the altar of the banning circle. At this time, the entrance had collapsed, and the gate-like stone door had also fallen down, completely sealing off our retreat. Seeing the scene before me, my heart suddenly turned cold Halfway through.

The entire building shook even more violently, and it seemed that it had a tendency to sink, and the water in the corridor had already submerged the knees.

At this time, I took out the Warhammer of the Time Breaker from my pocket, and I was going to open a magic portal beside Katerina and me, and take Katerina to hide in Xinliu Valley.

But before my arm fell, I saw the roots of countless trees spread from a crack in the wall next to the stone gate, and completely opened up the crack in the stone next to the stone gate, and crushed stones fell down one after another, but Catalina and I caught a glimpse of the gray sky overhead.

Katerina didn't hesitate any longer, and led me directly through the stone crack that people could pass through, and 'Shining Flash' got out of the altar of the banning circle.

Those rhizomes seemed to see that Katerina and I were out of trouble, so they retreated quickly from the stone gate.

I noticed that the direction in which these roots retreated actually came from five different ancient war trees by the lake.

"It's so dangerous, it will collapse if you say it here!" After I blessed myself with 'Walking on Water', I stood on the water again and said to Katerina with lingering fear.

Katerina squatted on the water, watching the movement of the underwater buildings, and several huge eddies appeared in the lake.

Katerina said to me: "This building is still sinking. When it is completely out of control, a large amount of stones sinking to the bottom of the water will form a dangerous vortex here. Before this vortex is formed, we'd better stay away from here." point."

Hearing what she said, I didn't dare to stay on the water, so I said to Katerina: "Understood! Let's go! Go to Elder Dirham to have a look!"

Katerina and I ran along the water towards Elder Dirham, and when we got close to the lake, we found that the water level of the lake here was dropping rapidly, and the green grass that had been soaked in the water could see the sun again.

I stood in front of Elder Dirham stupidly, watching his tall body swaying slowly, and the roots like tentacles were pulled out from the soil. It turned out that this is the ancient war tree Dila The so-called 'freedom' possessed by the tree spirits in Elder Mu's mouth...

At this time, Elder Dirham also found me under his feet. He stopped struggling, and a smiling face appeared on the tree trunk, and said to me: "Sorry, we didn't expect that after the banning circle was lifted, this building It will collapse so quickly."

"Just now at the entrance of the altar, you and the other four Ancient War Trees saved me?" I said to Elder Dirham.

"Actually, we didn't help much. We just saw that the stone door was shaking violently and closed. We were worried that you would be trapped inside the altar, so we found a crack next to it..." Elder Dilam said to me while My own tree roots were pulled out of the soil one by one...
