Chapter 132 Ancient Ruins of Ishtar
Realizing that this human pervert was also responsible for saving his best friend Morgan, Lahr's arc finally did not fall.
"Morgan is now in a coma...wait...she is a little more awake...
Is it the Falling Star Fortress in the southwest?"
"Huh?! What is that?"
"I do not know……"
"No, you are a god who is a little too hydrated. How come you don't know anything?"
"I, I, I have only been a god for less than a hundred years!
And when he was a mortal, he was not even twenty years old!
How would I know these things? "
"six……"
"Six? I don't think that's a good word..."
"..."
With a swish, the door curtain was lifted up by a short girl.
"Look, sister, I know it!
He is hiding here again to bully that beautiful goddess!"
……
A strange building stood on a vast expanse of rubble and wasteland.
The semicircular top is about twenty feet above the ground;
The walls were also extremely smooth, without any trace of erosion from time;
There is an extremely dark hole at the bottom. It seems that it was not designed by the building itself, but was later chiseled open by some creature with tremendous force.
"Is this the Falling Star Fortress?"
Under the guidance of Broken Tooth, who knew something about the history of the wilderness, the group finally did not wander around in circles in the wilderness.
“That’s it, Alvin boy.
He is a guy that all orcs will envy."
Probably guessing that Ivan had received the oracle from Morgan, Broken Tooth, a devout believer, was depressed for a long time.
"If that stupid guy Lal didn't misunderstand me, Tagon would be right down there."
Ivan completely ignored the inexplicable tightness in his heart, leaving the goddess Laer, who was unable to pass on the message immediately, to be furious alone in the star realm.
"What are you going to do after you find Tagon? Are you going to just..."
The half-elf lady walked up to Ivan, leaned close to his ear and asked in a barely audible voice. The slightly warm breath made Ivan's neck feel a little hot.
"Let's find out the whole story first. I don't think this matter is that simple."
"Maybe Broken Tooth will know something..."
“What would I know?
Hey, little guys, do you have any misunderstandings about the hearing of orcs..."
"Aha! We were saying, do you know why Tagon went down here...
Yes, that's it! "
Under Broken Tooth's suspicious gaze, the mixed team stepped into the pitch-black cave entrance.
It was very different from the underground ruins that Alvin had imagined. On the same smooth walls, there were some magic light strips carved that were still glowing.
According to Duan Ya, these are all relics of the Istar Empire, and they are still functioning even after ten thousand years.
Equally magical are the exhaust devices on both sides of the stairs, which reminded Alvin of the air circulation fans from the Blue Star era.
Unnaturally flat walls, minimalist geometric lines, some kind of self-operating device...
If it weren't for the scattered bones on the ground and the pile of orc-style weapons and equipment, Alvin would have thought he had traveled through time and space and arrived at a different sci-fi world.
After walking down the stairs for a while, the scene in front of me changed from a vertical tower structure to a flat hall.
The high dome was glowing with warm yellow light, and the entire dome was glowing.
"Wow, this illumination and color temperature make it look like a popular online restaurant..."
The sudden noise made Lin Liya, the elf ranger who was carefully exploring the environment in front, stare at Ivan with resentment on her face.
Even Lian, who was usually broad-minded, made a gesture to Ivan to keep quiet.
Unlike patrols and frontal combat, this kind of ruins exploration work is the first time for Alvin.
He thought that the ground here was clean, with neither bones nor bloodstains, and there was not even a hole on the wall, so he naturally believed that this place was far less dangerous than the previous tower.
But in the eyes of adventurers in the main material world, the more peaceful and tranquil a place seems, the more likely it is to be dangerous.
After all, making people let down their guard is the first element of all traps.
As expected, Ivan's not-so-small complaint caused a response in the empty hall.
Clanging sounds came from the dark corridor opposite, like the sound of a hard object hitting the ground, or the sound of metal friction.
As the team watched intently, a humanoid in armor, much taller than a frost giant, gradually emerged from the darkness and appeared in the light of the hall.
The purple-black metal surface is covered with mottled scratches, revealing the silvery-white metal material underneath;
With every movement, the joints of the armor would occasionally flash with blue magic light;
And the head of the armor... the armor doesn't have a head at all...
The broad shoulders were empty, and several metal buckles that were originally used to connect the helmet hung on one side, clinking as the armor swayed with his footsteps.
In each of the armored hands, he held a serrated heavy sword of astonishing size, with some minced meat and blackened blood stains still on the blade.
"Construct! There's actually a monster like this here!
It seems that those wandering orcs have suffered a lot here."
Broken Tooth clenched his battle axe. This kind of huge enemy was the one he least wanted to face.
Soi next to her had already hidden behind the team, but her equally huge body could not hide at all. She could only crouch as low as possible, as if this way the huge metal monster would not be able to find her.
"No... Didn't Alduin send you here to be funny?"
Ignoring the frost giant Soi who was hiding nearby with his butt sticking up, Alvin and Shilinglian were on guard ahead while quickly thinking about the current tactics.
He had no idea what kind of attack this iron lump would be capable of.
Fortunately, except for Soyi, the other members of the team have fought together many times.
Broken Tooth and Lianne took a step forward in tacit understanding and took a defensive stance;
Xiling had already started chanting her own summoning spell, and after Ivan joined, the first set of restricted spells was given to this human who could cast spells instantly;
The elven ranger Lin Liya took advantage of Ivan's enchanted arrow, and her eyes kept wandering over the construct, trying to find the driving core of this metal monster.
With the green wave flying out of Ivan's hand, the encounter officially began.
However, the [Entanglement Technique] that was immersed in the ground did not receive any feedback from the plants, which made Alvin extremely embarrassed.
“Switch to another spell, boy!
This is a forbidden zone for life. You can’t find any wild flowers or weeds here!”
Looking at the armored monster that was already speeding towards everyone, Alvin was stunned for a moment, then immediately threw a pink ball out.
But what surprised everyone was that the previously invincible Avin's special [Five-Colored Ball] couldn't even stop the construct's steps.
The spell was completely ineffective before this metal armor.
