Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 576 Something weird

In terms of direct combat power, especially single combat power, at the same level and with the same equipment level, there is no difference between a mage and a warrior.

In contrast, the cost of training a warrior is much lower than that of training a mage. The cost of a qualified mage is almost equal to his weight in gold.

There is not much difference in direct combat power, but there are still many people who want to embark on the path of magic, and they are even willing to spend all their money. The society still gives preferential treatment to magicians, and they are respected wherever they go.

This is because the ability of a mage is not only reflected in combat effectiveness, but also in productivity and R&D capabilities.

This is also why the proverb reminds us not to provoke a wizard, because you never know what strange means the wizard will use to trip you up.

The wizard's laboratory is a place that would make even the devil tremble in fear. Just look at these brains in jars.

This kind of action is even considered a relatively mild way of revenge among the average mages.

——What a cruel person.

But then again, there was nothing particularly valuable in this room. If you had to say, only the alchemical instruments were worth some money, but Olday didn't care about them at all.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the six brain jars shot out another beam of light, which intersected in the air and combined into a piece of text.

'We know what you're looking for, and we won't let you get it'

These words made Oldie stunned. It couldn't be that he was talking about her, right?
Then, a row of glowing words appeared on the inner wall of the six brain jars. When the mirror image was reversed, it was found that what was written on it was actually:
'I will find it, and you will rot here forever'

The words on the inner wall must have been written by Brett. They can be projected into the consciousness of these six brain jars, which is equivalent to a mockery.

This legendary wizard is a little cautious...

Then again, what exactly did Brett want to find in this ruins?
As a legendary wizard, except for a few special things that are not easy to obtain, there is generally nothing that would worry a legendary wizard.

It was strange that Brett and Yue Luo came to the ruins, and there was no need for them to fight over whether to continue exploring.

It's totally not worth it.

Unable to figure this out for the time being, the three of them waited a little longer, wanting to see if the brain tank had any other reaction, but if they continued to watch, they would only hear more trash talk, which was not worth watching.

So the three of them left the room and turned back.

Since there are no noteworthy clues in the doorway on the right, we can only change direction.

Returning to the corridor where the huge oil painting hung, Nemya looked straight ahead this time and dared not look at the painting again no matter what.

The three of them just entered the passage on the right, so now they must turn left and go to the blocked passage.

After a brief investigation, it was found that the rubble must have collapsed recently, and no signs of human destruction were found. It may be related to an underground earthquake.

Since there were not many pieces of rubble blocking the passage, this time Olde did not use the Thor Stone technique. Instead, he turned the stones into mud, melting the stones into soil, which was then moved away by Zora and Nimia. In this way, they managed to dig out a passage.

Fortunately, the collapse was limited to the area near the entrance, and the passage itself did not show any signs of collapse, so there was no need to dig all the way through.

But the bad news is that there are still traps that have not been lifted. This is a very strange point.

It is not surprising to find traps in the dwarven ruins, but all signs indicate that Bright lived here for a period of time and he did not remove these traps.

What, keep it to kill time?
If it was intended to be used as a defensive measure, there would be no traps at the main door that Oldie and the others came in through, or on the way to Brett's room, except on this passage.

If this passage was of no use at all, Brett felt that he rarely went there, so naturally he did not dismantle the trap, which was understandable.

But as the three men dismantled the traps as they moved forward, they soon discovered a lot of signs of life in a room in the passage.

For example, there is a metal object that looks like a shower head hanging on the ceiling. It is actually a magic shower that can supply hot water for about half an hour after activation.

There is a trap outside Brett's bathhouse. Is he really not afraid that he might remember the wrong location and step on it?
It feels like these traps were intentionally left there and were used to deal with something, but the specific circumstances are still unclear.

However, this discovery made the three of them more vigilant again. Even the legendary wizard had to use traps to guard against it. Maybe there was something very troublesome on the other side of the passage.

"Done, this should be the last one."

Nemia did an impeccable job in her professional field. She jumped down from a statue of Medusa and threw the disassembled parts into the corner.

Although this Medusa statue will not suddenly revive, it will immediately shoot a poisoned arrow at the target after the mechanism is triggered. However, as long as one of the gears is removed, the trap will naturally become useless.

The three of them had now reached the end of the passage. If they walked further forward, they would see a stone door nearly three meters high, sticking out from the floor in a tilted state, looking like a movable door panel for going down to the cellar.

According to Yue Luo's map, this door panel should be the entrance to the sixth floor, but there is no rush for the time being. Alde and the others first went into another room not far away.

Compared to Brett's bathroom, which they had found earlier, this room looked more like a storage room.

The furniture that had originally belonged to the dwarves had been removed, leaving only a large number of rotten crates and fragments, which might have originally contained storable food and other things, but now they were basically rotten.

The destructive power of time is irresistible. After more than a hundred years, it is impossible for most biological products to remain intact.

The three were disappointed when they saw this, after all, whatever the legendary wizard left behind was a huge sum of money, but this should have been the last room, but there was still nothing in it.

Perhaps after being poisoned by Yue Luo, Brett ran to a deeper place, or he might have died somewhere on the third floor. But no matter what, the place where he once lived was now very clean, which made people wonder if someone had been here before Oldie and the others and took away all the valuable spoils.

Although the most important goal of the three people is the Demon King's Ring, who would complain about having too much loot?
Judging from the surroundings, it didn't look like there was anything there, but since she was already here, Aldea raised her hand and made a spellcasting gesture:
"Detect magic."

A faint wave of light burst out from her fingertips, spreading and sliding along the surfaces of all objects around her.

This spell can detect all magical reactions within the casting range and is generally used to detect magic traps or find possible magical items around.

After taking a quick look, Aldea was about to turn around when she heard Zora say:
"There seems to be something glowing in the corner."

Is there really something?
