Release that Witch Chapter 233: Ancient ruins

As you head east, the fog becomes thinner, but the sky is still overcast, as if the sun cannot penetrate this sea. )]〉]〉]> ??}]

The surrounding reefs are also getting higher and higher, and gradually become a thick stone pillar. Somehow, the water level is falling, the boat is still stable, the sea surface is even less sprayy, and the calmness is like no wind. Lake.

"Why don't you wait for the seawater to completely fade away before entering the Hidden Shadow area?" Tilly asked puzzledly, "After all the reefs expose come out, you don't have to be afraid to hit the reef."

"Because the sea will ebb, we will not see Ghost Shadow Red River, and it is the only way to guide explorer to ruins," explained Thunder. "These pillar-like islands are not fixed, and each time the tide rises and falls , The position between the islands will change. In addition, most of the markers will be used by the seawater absorb, so it cannot be used to locate the direction. "

"Ghost shadow ... Red River?" she repeated.

"Yes. See, this is it" Thunder whistled, pointing in the direction of the bow.

witches looked in the direction he was pointing at, and saw a few red figures appearing in the dark green waters. They flashed like a phantom. But soon, two or three more red shadows floated by. This time Ash saw the target clearly, and it was an orange-red fish.

"Is this ... fish?"

"The red scale fishes peculiar to the Hidden Shadow archipelago," Thunder laughed, touching his chin, "you will see later, the true colors of Ghost Shadow Red River."

Increasingly, there are more and more fish, and no more in twos and threes appears. Instead, they gather in a group and swim in the direction of the stern to look far ahead. Ash was shocked by what he saw. As more and more fish merged into this torrent, a dark red thick line had already appeared in the sea water. The sailing boat was clearly following this red line, and the school of fish passed through the bottom of the boat. From time to time, the sound of pingping Bang Bang was heard.

So that's it, she suddenly realized that this is a strange river that does not exist in Ghost Shadow Red River! With the continuous advancement of the ship, the dense school of fish has expanded into a channel that can accommodate several ships in parallel. The dark green water seems to disappear, and the sailing boat is like traveling on the school of fish. If it is not the opposite direction, she will There is even the illusion that a boat is being carried by a fish.

"Why is this happening?" Tilly asked in surprise.

Ash would also like to ask this question. In Greycastle or other kingdoms, absolutely impossible saw such a scene enveloping the surrounding fog, gloomy sky, strangely shaped boulder, and "river" composed of red-scale fish. For the first time she was shocked by the wonders of the sea.

"Because of the main island," Thunder said, "It's like a triangular Spire with a huge hole running through the tower. These red-scale fish like to lay their eggs in the hole and reproduce their offspring. And at low tide , The hollow surface will rise to the surface, and the perching fish will always be the first to feel the change in the water level, swarming out. So as long as we follow Ghost Shadow Red River, we can reach the main island of Hidden Shadow.

"Master Thunder, there are huge obstacles ahead! It looks like a big mountain!" the watchman shouted.

"It seems we are coming," he shook his pipe, "Ladies, welcome to the Shadow Islands."

After a while, Ash also saw the appearance of the main island. As Thunder said, it looks like a few triangles. The bottom width is narrow and the surface looks very flat at first. It doesn't look like natural creation at all. However, to say that the entire tower was cut out of the population, it is too amazing. The exposed tower is almost half the size of a city, and the hollow in the middle is enough to accommodate the Tower of Babel of a Hermes church.

The seawater is still retreating. The water at the top of the giant cave is sprinkling like a waterfall, and the submerged part below is completely covered by the school of fish. Ash I can't help but think that there are thousands of red-scale fish living in the cave.

Wait until the sky is dark before the sea water completely recedes to the bottom of the cave. Taking this opportunity, Thunder ordered the sailors to stop the ship and connect it to the copper pile at the entrance with a thick hemp rope. Standing on the edge of the giant hole, you can see from far away that the incident light from the two ends of the through hole can only illuminate a small range. The center of the hole is almost black, which makes people feel inexplicably depressed.

"These piles were left when you last came?" Ash asked.

"No," Thunder shook his head. "The copper stakes already existed when I first came here. They should all be built by the ruins owner."

"Where is ruins ..."

He smiled and pointed up, "Just above our heads, we are already standing at the entrance of ruins."

...

The next journey can only be described in an incredible way. witches followed Thunder and entered from a stone door at the bottom of the giant cave, and hovered along the stone steps flowing in the water. Although everyone is holding a torch, the flare of the fire is faint and small compared to the staircase where the end can not be seen at a glance.

Walking in the darkness of the abyss, Tilly grasped Ash's arm tightly, completely without the usual calmness.

This is Her Royal Highness Princess, Ash thought. When in the palace, this Fifth Princess always has his own ideas and is confident in facing any difficulties. The biggest weakness is the fear of darkness. Even when sleeping at night, candle should be ordered in the room. When fleeing the palace, if she did not have the conditions to do so, she would accompany her to sleep.

Walking in the wet and dark Spire, the mood of Ash has become a lot more pleasant.

I didn't encounter any Evil Beast along the way, and even if there were no agencies that hindered the intruder, it was estimated that it had long since expired under the long-term immersion in seawater. The only problem was that the long climb exhausted most of the strength of the party, and everyone's movements became slower and slower. When the stone steps finally came to an end, the team could not help but cheer for a while.

The last level of ruins is not stone door, but made of metal, which reflects brightly under the torch. Thunder both hands pushed the door hard, and the thick door panel made a harsh sound of friction, opening slowly.

Ash held the sword with one hand and took the lead in entering the room. After looking around to make sure there was no danger, let Tilly and other witch enter the room.

With the torches hanging around the walls, a large hall appeared in front of everyone, although it was wide, but it seemed empty and could be swept away at a glance. There was nothing to ponder.

"This is ruins?" She rubbed the stone table soaked in water, "except for some stone tables and stools, there is nothing here."

"It's really low," Thunder nodded. "It's been sleeping for too long on the bottom of the sea. It's difficult to save anything except stones. I also told Her Royal Highness Tilly, but she insisted to come and see . "

"What about those red stones?" Tilly said, "Where did you find them?"

"It was on the ground, and it was scattered all over the place, maybe dozens."

Now there is nothing left. Ash looks down at the slippery ground where seaweed has grown. explorer arrived here is not only Thunder. It is strange that you can find magic stone in turn.

But Tilly is still full of interest. She holds a torch and carefully looks at every corner of the hall, especially in dark places. She will also let the sailors add more torches. Molly summoned Magic Servant, spread it out on the ground, and let everyone rest as a cushion. Ash was next to Tilly, watching her touch it on the wall.

"Well," Fifth Princess suddenly stopped, "What is this?"

Ash followed her gaze, and saw a faint reflection of fire on the wall covered with a piece of green moss.

Tilly reached out and tore off the green moss. I saw a piece of gem half-buried in the stone wall exposed. It also showed bright red. It was crystal clear and transparent like magic stone. It was prismatic and almost the thickness of an arm ~ IndoMTL.com ~ But the periphery is lined with gold filaments, like a card slot to secure it inside. Even after soaking in the sea water for such a long time, the gold wire around the stone is still as clean as new.

Tilly tried to pull, gem did not move.

"Let me do it," Ash said.

Fifth Princess shook her head and seemed to be thinking about something. Then she put her hands on the prism and closed her eyes.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light in the center of the prism. Ash thought he was dazzled, but there was a rumbling response from behind the wall. It seemed that some organs were touched and spread to the whole hall in a short time. There were crunching friction sounds everywhere on the stone wall, soft white light appeared from the wall, and even the ceiling above it lit up.

The sailors stood up in a panic and pulled out weapon, but they didn't know which side to defend, and they could only close together back-to-back, forming a group of magic power servants around Molly.

However, no monsters rushed out.

When the sound calmed down, the hall was brightly lit. (To be continued.)
