Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Continuing with the mage's touch, he retrieved the sewn-together parchment scroll—which appeared to Daphne and the others as a pile of rotting leaves. Seeing Levi blocking the doorway, neither taking the magic crystal as large as a bone hand nor deciphering the bright, magical stone tablet, Daphne finally couldn't help but say:

"Li Wei, shall we go in and explore?"

Li Wei stepped aside and said:

"Go ahead, I won't collect your body when you die."

Daphne's foot hovered in mid-air as she took a step. She snorted angrily, pulled her foot back, and was helped by Helen to continue resting.

The first page.

"In 23 of the Lionheart calendar, the Islay Tree was in normal condition."

"Monitor: Gern".

……

Turn the page.

"In 66 of the Lionheart calendar, the Islay Tree was in normal condition."

"Monitor: Delis"

……

Lionheart Year 66?

Livy read from a collection of miscellaneous books, and historians from the Golden Island unanimously agreed that the Lionheart Kingdom only existed for 28 years.

Why is the Lionheart Calendar still being used here?

The Lionheart Kingdom was never destroyed?

He had initially thought that after Delis and Gern became undead along with the nobles of the Lionheart Kingdom, they lay in crystal coffins and hid in dark spaces to eke out a living. However, judging from the names of the recorders, this seemed to contradict his guess.

Continue reading.

"In 132 of the Lionheart calendar, the Islay Tree was in normal condition."

"Monitor: Gern".

Li Wei frantically searched his mind for evidence of the Lionheart royal family's existence for 132 years, but found nothing.

Recalling how the spirit of the stone tablet guided him and how the guardian spirit bowed respectfully to him and Julia, Livy figured out the meaning.

He was wrong from the start.

This is not a site open to the public by the Lionheart royal family.

Instead, it is a relic that is only open to specific people.

The identification for this particular person was the Magic Network Platform token that he had taken from the coffins of Gern and Delis. Before entering, only he had been touched by the token's aura. Before entering the Magic Network Platform, Yulia had taken Gern's token and was touched by its aura. Therefore, when Yulia entered, the guardian spirit bowed respectfully to her.

The Lionheart royal family deliberately modified the root space of this Islay tree in order to monitor its condition. What is the Lionheart royal family trying to do?

Continue turning the page.

"In 264 of the Lionheart calendar, the Islay Tree was in normal condition."

"Monitor: Delis"

Gern and Delis took turns monitoring, with the monitoring intervals doubling.

Li Wei looked at it with renewed vigor.

"In 528 of the Lionheart calendar, the Islay Tree was in normal condition."

"Monitor: Gern".

……

"In 1056 of the Lionheart calendar, the Islay Tree was in normal condition."

"Monitor: Delis"

If things follow the normal trajectory, the next monitoring should be in "Lionheart Calendar 2112", which will be monitored by Gern.

Surprisingly, the last page of the parchment scroll clearly stated:

"In 1559 of the Lionheart calendar, the Islay Tree was in normal condition."

"Monitor: Delis"

Below the name are two ancient Lionheart proverbs: Guchili, Pala.

The meaning of Gucci is: vigilance and caution.

Pato means enemy or bad person.

The combined meaning is: Be vigilant against the enemy?

Li Wei quickly calculated, continuing the Lionheart Calendar, and based on the last year 1559, it was the 623rd year of the Golden Calendar. Now it was the 626th year of the Golden Calendar—Dalis had been here three years ago?!

Delis woke up three years ago?!

Suddenly, Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine.

She deliberately woke up, leaving behind a warning: Who is the enemy?

The answer appeared as I scanned the pile of Immortals Cult statues in the room.

Just then.

The immortal stone statues piled up against the wall suddenly glowed, revealing densely packed secret spell phrases.

Each one is as intricate as the magic array in front of the wooden door that Li Wei deconstructed.

Li Wei caught some arcane characters and phrases, which were automatically translated into self-destruct phrases like "proud dwarf." His scalp tingled. If he wasn't mistaken, this place was full of damn self-destructing statues!

Just as the six-pointed star was about to be lit.

But then the sky and earth under the blue sky and white clouds suddenly changed, and the secret characters hidden in the roots shone brightly.

The two teams were suddenly immersed in a sea of ​​arcane characters!

There are many self-destructing secret technique characters and allegorical story phrases with similar meanings, such as "proud dwarf".

The most noticeable thing is that the mystical characters representing different numbers of days disappear quickly.

18 days

17 days

16 days

……

Li Weiquan understood!

This place is marked with self-destruction arcane characters by the Cult of the Immortals. Once the arcane characters representing the number of days reach zero, it will explode with a roar.

Because he arrived early.

By deconstructing the secret incantation on the wooden door and entering the area, the immortal statue inside the house, which is the core of this place, is connected to the outside. This draws out the secret incantation hidden in the surging, ferocious roots that resemble huge, slippery tentacles, thus activating the secret incantation array that is powerful enough to blow this space at the roots of the Isley Tree into the sky.

Grass!

The Cult of the Immortals is a bunch of mad dogs and wild dogs!

Bombing airships, bombing the Grand Duke of the Principality, bombing the Magic Academy of the Mad Sand Principality—not enough, they even plan to bomb the Islay Tree!

This is the core of Golden Island!

A storm raged within Li Wei's heart. Driven by reason, he became increasingly calm as the situation progressed. He swiftly activated the "Dreley" magic circle left behind by the Lionheart royal family.

Daphne noticed that Levi's expression had suddenly become extremely serious. She looked back at the unchanged blue sky and white clouds and wondered what was going on.

"what happened?"

Yulia felt the coldness of Levi's hand and was trying to restrain herself.

Li Wei forced out a single word:

"run!"

……

……

Chapter 109: The End, and the Beginning with Daphne [Four Chapters/Missed Chapters Completed/Requesting Monthly Tickets]

"run?"

Daphne and the other five members of Radiant were slightly surprised when they heard this.

Pastor Janet thought to herself, "It would be a waste not to have a picnic on such a nice day."

Why are you running?

Daphne had just regained a little strength to walk independently. She broke free from Helen's support and said earnestly:

"How you run is up to you!"

Unlike the other four members of Radiance who were unimpressed, Yulia's team was on high alert after Li Wei said the word "run".

After mastering the "Lightning Strike" spell, Li Wei specifically instructed and practiced a new escape method with Yulia's team.

"If I say the word 'run,' don't hesitate, prepare to run away immediately!"

Bones and Duron are not very talented, but they have one advantage: they never question Levi's orders or judgments.

They quickly stored their shields, weapons, and armor into their storage rings.

Alone, he was left with only simple clothes.

Then the bones carried Li Wei on their backs.

Yulia and Sylvie put away their bows and staffs. Yulia took out a leather band and tied herself and Sylvie together. She put her arm around Sylvie. Before coming to the underground city, she had just mastered a new skill called "Swift Step", which was a skill specifically used for running away.

Li Wei once said that once he accepted the bone back, there was a chance he could use the spell "Lightning Strike," after which he would be weakened and unable to use his mage's hand to bind the two women, requiring Yulia to take Sylvie away.

The dwarf also took out a leather band, tied one end to his waist and the other end to the bone's waist, and together they carried Li Wei away.

Yulia's squad was on high alert, making ample preparations for their escape.

Daphne paused for a moment at the anxious look on Yulia's team's faces, then quickly put away her staff and solemnly said to Helen, "Hold me tight."

Helen trusted Daphne completely. She imitated Bones and the dwarf, removing her armor to reveal cloth clothes and trousers, as well as a strong physique comparable to Bones. She hugged Daphne tightly and promised, "I will definitely take you away!"

The six-pointed star was activated, but the departing magic barrier failed to reappear.

The guardian spirit, who had been standing there dumbfounded beside the magic circle, gave Li Wei a strange smile. He crossed his arms, lowered his head, and disintegrated on his own in a posture of "embracing death," turning into specks of light and dissipating.

Li Wei was not surprised.

After discovering the Immortals' cult's true intentions, he began to guard against their countermeasures.

To leave this place, you either need to decipher the arcane runes on all the statues or utilize the Lionheart Royal Rune.

If it were him, he would also manipulate the magic array.

Pastor Janet, whose appearance score was comparable to Helen's, felt bewildered.

The weather is so nice, are you really not going to have a picnic?

Why does everyone look like they're facing a formidable enemy?

Where is the enemy?

She wanted to rest with her arms crossed... oh, she didn't have any breasts.

Princess Daphne is still the most perfect.

Sigh... women...

In Li Wei's eyes, the disappearance of the guardian spirit triggered the warnings left by the Lionheart royal family.

The warning is related to the Islay tree in this area.

The once-moving, thick tree roots, like a young dwarf named Sofit who had been patted on the shoulder by a human, turned around and only showed their knees, greatly frightened—they stood upright with a "thud," encircling the magical barrier that had just appeared and fled the place.

Li Wei sensed the feedback coming from the tree trunk. The Isley Tree was quite magical; its self-protection mechanism was not to transform into an enemy of a certain level.

Instead, protection is set based on the highest level limit of the visitor.

For example, right now.
