Chapter 342 Hidden Vine Stone Gate

Inside the ruins, after reading Zero's report in full, Avis was distracted by controlling the metal cube while thinking about how to deal with it next.

He now vaguely understood that Zero's purpose of coming to inform him of the news was to make the four major families more vigilant and further stimulate the marquises.

According to the information revealed in Zero's report, when Claire or some other lucky person triggers the hidden conditions of the ruins and reveals the true secret of this half of the ruins, I am afraid that these ninth-level people in the empire will be in chaos first.

However, Avis believes that the Duke and others cannot be unprepared for foreign enemies. The current situation is just equivalent to adding half an enemy.

The reason why it is half is that when facing foreign enemies, the attitude of the marquises is also external.

According to Avis's memory in his previous life, perhaps one or two marquises really surrendered to the foreign enemy, but most of the marquises still maintained their loyalty to the empire even on the eve of the full outbreak of the war and the use of the wishing ball by little Avis.

Indeed, he has made many changes to the fate line in this life, but the things he did did not affect the situation of the empire, and would not change the judgment of the ninth-level strongman.

While analyzing the situation, Avis began to consider how to deal with the unstable factor of Zero.

Although there is an undercover in the enemy camp, and it is still an undercover in the management, it feels good.

However, this guy's ability to stir up trouble is too strong.

We have to think of a way to deal with him-

"Brother, come and see, I just seem to have found a brand new underground passage!"

At this time, Fiona's voice floated over from afar.

"Brand new passage?"

Hearing this voice, Avis looked over with some surprise, but found that the girl had walked down an old rock step and sank into the underground layer of the ruins.

They are currently in the original magic tower of the city. It is Fiona's idea to explore here. She thinks that this huge white-gold spire is very conspicuous, and the probability of finding golden runes should be greater.

This view is not wrong, but as one of the landmark buildings of this ruins city, many other students have the same idea.

It is not an easy task to find a new passage here.

Avis followed the sound and walked down the stone steps, and found that the girl was next to a strange stone door.

The stone door was a rare perfect circle, and the door frame was embossed with a pattern of black vines with thorns and blood orchids intertwined.

At this time, the two halves of the stone door that were originally tightly closed had opened, revealing a dark corridor behind it that led to nowhere.

Seeing this scene, Avis's eyes were a little condensed.

In the culture of the high elves, blood orchids are regarded as an ominous flower, just like the blue star symbolizes the number of the devil. Except for some special circumstances, they are often avoided.

The perfect round stone door has the meaning of the moon and the seal. This round door engraved with blood orchids is likely to symbolize that something very dangerous was once sealed inside the door.

"Brother, look, there was no door here just now. Kate helped to find it!

When I entered this basement, she suddenly pointed in the direction of the wall. I touched the bricks on the wall, and the door appeared with a snap!

Is this the hidden structure that father said we need to pay attention to?"

Seeing Avis coming over, the girl was extremely excited without him asking, and she told the whole process of discovering this strange door.

She also used the crystal staff in her hand as a stick and pointed to the stone brick on the wall that she had just touched.

"Wait a minute, Fei, let me check it out."

Following the direction pointed by the girl, Avis checked the surrounding environment.

There was only a light decorative pattern on the surface of the yellowed stone brick, and there was no magic fluctuation, so it was not clear whether it had anything to do with the opening of the door.

In addition, there were fresh traces of exploration all around this basement, and it must have been explored by more than one group of students before.

After thinking about it, he took out the three-dimensional topographic map of the ruins stored in the crystal ball and compared it with the terrain above.

Yes, from Duke Carrot, Avis had already obtained the topographic map of the ruins explored by the Duke himself. Fiona also had a copy, which was also part of the equipment brought by the students.

Perhaps it was not fair to other students who did not have a topographic map, but who made him have a ninth-level father.

After comparing the records, Avis found that the map structure recorded in the crystal ball did not have this door and the passage behind it.

In other words, this is exactly the hidden structure that the Duke and others hope to trigger. Everything behind the door is unknown. There may be opportunities, but there are also huge risks.

"I think you are right, Fei, you did find a new hidden passage! Good job!"

After discovering this, Avis praised the girl.

"Hehe, it's just good luck... Brother, should we go in?"

After receiving Avis' praise, the girl was in a good mood for a while, and her tone became much lighter.

"No, the risk of exploring this passage is too high. The special shape and pattern of the door represent that something dangerous was once sealed inside. Father probably doesn't want to see you go in."

Anvis shook his head at the girl's question and briefly explained to the girl the meaning of the pattern on the door.

"Do you know, Fei? The reason why we came here for this competition is that after many ninth-rank crowns explored the ruins, there are still some very important things that have not been discovered.

In order to trigger the hidden conditions of the ruins, the academy agreed to let us come here, just like you just found this door. And all students are looked after by the ninth-rank throughout the process to avoid accidents."

"I think my father was probably watching us all the time, including when you found this hidden passage."

"Eh! Is that so? My father has been watching us?"

After listening to Avis's explanation, Fiona nodded clearly.

"Then what should we do now?"

"Don't do anything, just leave here and explore other places. My father should explore here himself."

Avis spread his hands slightly and made a gesture to leave directly.

As they spoke, new footsteps suddenly came from the steps behind the two. A team of students with an average rank of second or third level walked down the steps.

Seeing the strange round door on the wall of the basement, and Avis and Fiona standing beside the door, the team was also a little surprised.

"Hello, we accidentally triggered the passage over there. It may be dangerous inside. Please be careful if you want to explore."

Seeing the newcomers, Fiona kindly reminded them to prevent them from getting into danger.

"Hello, did you also find this kind of door?"

However, a red-haired girl in the team looked at the door and was not surprised, but asked back with some doubts.
