Chapter 60 Underground Tomb

Since they had already made their decision, they naturally wouldn't hesitate when doing things.

After a brief exchange, the group, led by Karian, began to cross the area of ​​pipes covered with magical crystals, preparing to continue walking inside.

Viktor and Nina walked behind, but neither of them intended to speak to the other. The place was truly awful, and neither wanted to initiate a conversation unless absolutely necessary...

So the group moved forward for about three minutes.

Actually, they hadn't gone very far. They had only followed the underground pipes for a few hundred meters, made a few turns, and followed the direction that Karian sensed, until they finally stopped at a corner.

A gap in the wall appeared before everyone's eyes.

The gap wasn't very large, but it was very regular, and you could tell at a glance that someone had made it.

Inside was a staircase leading to a deeper underground level. The staircase was covered with a layer of dirty garbage, but there were many scratches around it, which looked like they were made by claws.

Considering the mutated rat Victor encountered earlier, it's not hard to imagine who made these marks.

But Karian stopped not because of that, but because he sensed something else:

"The thing that's calling me... is it down there?"

"It seems... there's something else waiting down there too."

He turned to look at the people behind him, as if to ask them if they had felt it.

This time, Vladimir didn't argue with him. Instead, he took a step forward, his pupils instantly turning blood red and eerie. Then, he silently opened his mouth, and a barely perceptible magical fluctuation flashed by... About a second later, he quickly closed his mouth in disgust and stepped back.

Facing the stares of the crowd, he said with disdain:

"This awful place... I will never come back again!"

"It's just a passage, you'll reach the end after walking for a while. I didn't detect any monsters. There seems to be a door at the end, I wonder if it was left by that wizard."

The others nodded, indicating that they understood.

Viktor's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously:

"Vladimir, are you using detection-type magic?"

Vladimir, who had just been overwhelmed by the stench, glanced at Viktor impatiently and nodded.

Nina explained for him:

"It's a family-inherited witchcraft technique that uses sound waves for detection, and it works very well."

"It helped us avoid many dangers when we were exploring the astral plane."

"Ultrasonic detection?"

Viktor had lived two lives, and even though he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run, so he immediately understood.

Vladimir glanced at him unexpectedly, noticing his apparent interest, and added:

"Don't even think about it, it's impossible for me to give it to you."

"This is a family-inherited witchcraft that ordinary people cannot learn; it requires special physical modifications."

"Physical modification?"

But upon hearing this, Viktor's eyes lit up even more.

To be honest, although he hadn't really come into contact with the relevant knowledge, he had more or less heard about the principle of this ultrasonic detection, which was roughly based on mimicking bats... Although he could tell that Vladimir was unwilling to teach him, it wasn't that he couldn't study it on his own.

With a direction and corresponding modification methods, he might be able to figure it out on his own.

At this moment, however, Karian interrupted his thoughts:

"Let's go down and take a look."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this is where that wizard died."

"Vladimir didn't sense any danger, and I didn't sense anything else... Even if something unexpected happens, we should be able to handle it."

The crowd quieted down, exchanged glances, and none of them sensed fear in each other's eyes.

The next second, Karian raised his hand and cast a spell. The unique green magic of death magic transformed into a shield that enveloped everyone. Then, he still took the lead and walked down the stairs in the gap.

Victor was the last to catch up, and they successfully descended the stairs, arriving at an ancient-looking door.

The gate was generally neat and tidy, without too many unnecessary patterns, except for a striking seven-pointed star in the very center... Nina recognized it at a glance and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled:

"Is it the symbol of the seven-pointed star?"

"Could it be that the wizard who provoked the academy before was a wizard from the Seven-Pointed Star?"

Karian also took a closer look at the logo and nodded in approval:

"That's roughly it!"

Viktor was also somewhat surprised.

He had heard of the name Seven-Pointed Star before, as it was a well-known faction among wizards.

This wizarding faction is an organization formed by seven official wizards... and unlike other wizarding factions, these seven wizards have a very close relationship and almost always act together.

Moreover, even if one of the wizards falls, a new official wizard will quickly fill the vacancy.

So, this is the place where a seven-pointed star wizard fell?

But if he is a wizard of the seven-pointed star, why would he come alone to provoke the academy?

It should be noted that there are more than twenty official wizards residing in the academy, as well as a resident second-ring wizard vice-principal, and the Star Tower in Morningstar City, whose deterrent power is comparable to that of a third-ring wizard... Even if all seven stars came, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

However, putting those questions aside, if this is indeed the place where that wizard fell, then it is very likely that there are some special magical artifacts here... Victor couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Looking at Karian again, he had already raised his hand and gently pushed the door open.

The door slowly and steadily opened, and a musty, stuffy air rushed in. The enclosed space, which hadn't been opened for who knows how long, was finally illuminated once more... Victor followed the others inside, his gaze beginning to explore the underground space.

My first impression was that this was indeed a tomb.

The bare walls were marked with mottled traces, but there were no other decorations, no intricate murals or patterns, and no mysterious writing.

In the desolate environment, there was only a stone coffin, and around it were scattered a pile of pale bones under the light, which were quite eye-catching.

Vladimir also carefully examined the space, clearly somewhat surprised:

"Is this the tomb left behind by a legitimate wizard?"

"I thought there would at least be some danger or something... but I haven't seen anything?"

He turned to look at Karian:

"You're not mistaken, are you?"

"Is there some special treasure here?"
