HPMRS CH 186: under dog...Temple

After getting the results of Xiaoqing's investigation, Ryan and Hermione took a few steps and then turned a corner, and an extremely spacious room made of large ashlar appeared in front of them. Stepping into this room, Ryan could feel the cool breeze blowing on him, and all of a sudden the heat and sweat that had just been gained in the tunnel was blown away.

It seems that this place has vents, and when he thinks of this, Ryan starts to look around. At this moment, Hermione also walked out of the hole in the back, and she was immediately lifted up by the cool breeze from the vent.

After looking around, Hermione asked curiously. "Isn't it said that after a long trail in the adventure, there will always be a lot of things waiting in front of you, why is there nothing here?"

"The adventure novels my father wrote are artistically processed. There are not so many treasures in reality. Besides, this is only a servant tunnel here. It'll be strange if there were any treasures here." After all, the space is tight in the tunnel. After walking in for so long, Ryan also wanted to speak to ease his mental fatigue.

"Wait." Ryan saw something suddenly. "What you said is not all wrong, I think I found some treasures." At this time, Ryan walked to the edge of a stone basin in the center of the stone room and pointed to the contents of the stone basin.

"What's this?" Hermione leaned forward to take a look, she went straight to the end of her nose, causing her to back off quickly.

"This is the cheapest treasure I've seen, a pound of it is worth 60 Galleons, and I haven't seen it in Diagon Alley," Ryan said while blocking Hermione's sight, from the Myriad Realms General Store he took out a five-liter oil barrel. Then put the yellow-white ointment in this basin into the oil drum.

"Wait, I seem to have read about this thing in the book." Hermione thought about it after hearing Ryan's account and said. "Is this the oil of the demonized forest anaconda? The book says that adding the demonized forest anaconda oil as fuel when making some potions can greatly increase the success rate of the potion."

"You deserve the title Miss Know-it-all." Ryan was a little surprised at Hermione's scope of research because it was a very partial knowledge. If he doesn't see this thing on a book randomly, he can't guess what it is. "You're right, I just found out that it should be 200 Galleons a pound, because the longer the aging of this oil, the better the effect. The pot in front of us has been aged for at least a thousand years, and it has changed from milky white to light yellow. So this adventure is not without any benefit, at least this can get us more than 300 Galleons."

Hermione didn't show much excitement after listening to Ryan. After all, it was difficult to make people happy in such a dangerous place, even if they had gained a lot of good things this time.

After filling most of the demonized forest anaconda oil into the oil drum, Ryan puts away the oil drum and uses a cup to pour the remaining oil into the two grooves on the wall in front of him, and then uses his magic wand to launch sparks to ignite The oil in the groove.

The blue flame burned slowly in the groove, and as the flame burned, a faint fragrance filled the whole place. At the same time, the wall slowly rose to reveal the passage behind.

"How did you discover this mechanism?" Hermione asked curiously.

"You didn't see that there was nothing in the whole place except the stone basin and that there were two grooves on the opposite wall, and there were some black burn marks on the grooves. To sum up the precious fuel in the stone basin, this mechanism and how to open it are very obvious. After all, this is just a passage for servants to pass daily, and it is impossible to set up various complicated things for entry like the magic wards or something."

Speaking of this Ryan took the lead and stepped into the passage, this passage should lead to a more important place, so there are a lot of pictures embossed on both sides. He looked at these embossments while walking forward, thinking that he was getting quite the Indiana Jones's feeling of adventure.

As we all know, archaeology has made a huge contribution to human understanding of ancient history, especially in the magical world. Sometimes archeologists dig up things and even learn advanced productivity or methods lost in sands of time. But as the intruders from Chimera Society and the blood god cult were cautious and didn't want to cause any great magic fluctuations or earthquakes to protect their hidden spot, they didn't excavate. Since the people that made this place didn't want intruders to steal things, they'll put some safeguards and traps.

Thus shortly after Ryan stepped into this tunnel: two heavily armed mummies slammed open the weak stone wall used for camouflage on both sides of the passage and jumped out, and used their obsidian spears to express their gratitude to Ryan and Hermione. They have great manners.

"Unclean" "quiet!" Following the rune drawn by Kremvh's Tooth in the air when Ryan chanted the spell, a pale ray hit a mummy. Probably because it has been abandoned for too long, the wooden armor with runes painted on the mummies has mostly decayed and lost its magical defense capabilities. So this spell easily knocked a mummy into a mass of ashes.

But then another mummy took the opportunity to attack, "Stupefy!" Behind the voice came from Hermione, but this is not your living mummy, mummy just paused for a split second. But it also bought time for Ryan, and he took advantage of this opportunity to release another Viking spell to kill the mummy.

Aren't South American mummies only found in the alpine and dry mountains? How come there are such things in tropical rainforests? Being able to stay in a place with such high humidity for thousands of years and does not rot, shows that the magic in this place is much more dangerous than earlier expectations. Thinking of this, Ryan released magic on the knife in his hand: "Holy Weapon".

Kremvh's Tooth glowed slightly after Ryan finished chanting the spell. As long as the white light did not disappear, it represented the existence of the spell's effect: it could cause great damage to any evil creatures.

The two mummies were both too close, the ambush positions are meticulously planned to caught wandering wizards off-guard in an unfavorable scenario, Ryan was worried about the next channel restenosis point, he wasn't sure whether he'll get enough time to cast the spell next time, so he blesses his weapon in advance.

Sure enough, mummies jumped out one after another from the stone walls on both sides. These should be a line of defense to protect important places from outsiders.

Ryan and Hermione, who did not get permission from the temple naturally get attacked when they passed the corridor.

Based on the inspection of the two mummies just now, it can be judged that this civilization did not invent the metal smelting process because the weapons on their bodies were all made of obsidian.

For the indigenous wizards or warriors of this civilization, encountering these bodies as hard as metal at close range in such a small place, with wooden armors with runes attached to their bodies, the agile mummies are basically killing machines, The temple naturally thinks that this is a full-proof method of defense.

But Ryan holds a spell specifically for this kind of creature from another civilization, and these mummies have been eroded by the prolonged period of time. So Ryan and Hermione passed through this passage without suffering any injury, and when Ryan became familiar with how to deal with these mummies, he also used the Taoist teaching technique to control six mummies to protect them.

Finally, they came to a stone gate. According to the map's instructions, as long as they passed through the stone gate, it would be the core hall of the entire temple.
