Chapter 084 Gnawing the Slate and the Wall of Sighs

Gawain quickly took out the [Holy Light Pocket Watch] and shined the dial on the Shadow Snake, activating the [Holy Light Technique] solidified in it.

once.

twice.

three times.

Four times.

After activating the [Holy Light Technique] five times in a row, the flesh and scales of the Shadow Snake finally grew back, and the injuries were fully recovered.

Gawain felt relieved.

He looked at the square passage in front of him again, thought for a moment, reached for the [frog wallet] in his pocket, took out three steel balls, and threw one to the stone slab.

"Ah woo~~"

As soon as the steel ball hit the ground, the smooth stone slab below suddenly cracked, revealing the sharp white teeth. Like a mouth, it swallowed the steel ball in one gulp, chewed it for a few mouthfuls, and turned into a smooth floor again.

Gawain was stunned. If he had walked up just now, part of his feet would have been bitten off.

"This...is a bit scary."

"What on earth is it?"

Gawain frowned, and suddenly thought of something recorded in "Wizard World Knowledge", which seemed to be very similar to the scene in front of him. That thing was called [Gnawing Slate], and it was an activation item that only a few wizards could make.

This biting on the stone slab does not matter whether it is raw or cold.

As long as it is not as hard as it can be eaten, it is usually laid in extremely important places to prevent theft.

Gawain looked at the dim passage of unknown length and felt his teeth aching:

"This...is a big deal!"

But the more this happened, the more greedy Gawain became. The end of the passage must be a place that only Wizard Dicra can enter. You must know that he is an official wizard and even inherited the entire Tower of Silence.

"Meditation Potion Recipe."

"Morning Potion Formula."

"One Ring Witchcraft Model."

"Wizard Promotion Ceremony."

These things that Gawain needs most may be found inside. If he can inherit all of Dikla's inheritance, it will save him at least ten years of struggle.

"Looks like he's going to show some real skills."

Gawain did not flinch. He grabbed a handful of steel balls and threw them into the passage one by one, hoping to find flaws. In the end, he sadly discovered that all the stone slabs up, down, left, and right were actually gnawed stone slabs.

Even if a giant dragon comes, it will gnaw at you without even leaving any dregs.

"So...we can only fly over."

Gawain rubbed his chin and did not dare to take the risk himself. Instead, he went out and brought Crow No. 23 in. After giving him some instructions, he pointed to the passage:

"Go ahead and be careful."

"Quack~~"

Crow No. 23 spread its wings and flew into the passage and quickly disappeared from sight. After waiting for a while, it slowly flew back without any injuries on its body.

Gawain no longer hesitated, letting the Shadow Snake stay where he was and took out a crow feather.

Transform into a crow and fly towards the passage.

"Huchi~~"

"Huchi~~"

The passage remained unchanged. Gawain looked at it silently with the eyesight of a crow. After flying for about five hundred meters, a dark wall appeared in front of him, completely blocking the entire passage without leaving any gaps.

What's weird is that one arm after another, and one human figure after another, protrude from the wall.

Gawain suddenly felt fear and turned around to fly back.

At this time.

A terrifying suction force suddenly enveloped Gawain. Before Gawain had time to react, his body spun and flew towards the black wall, hitting the wall heavily.

The transformation spell failed instantly, and Gawain returned to his original body, with half of his body trapped in the wall.

"What's going on?"

What's even more incredible is that all the witchcraft and magical items have failed. When he was about to get the one-handed sword at his waist, he was horrified to find that his limbs were stuck to the black wall and he couldn't move.

The more he struggled, the faster his body sank into the black wall.

Gawain quickly stopped moving, his body still sinking into the wall a little bit. His mind was racing, but he couldn't think of any way to escape.

"Nothing goes wrong on the 23rd. I must have fallen into a witchcraft trap targeting intelligent species."

"what to do?"

"what to do?"

Gawain's forehead was sweating anxiously, and he tried his best to poke his head in to sink in slowly, but his head was still swallowed by the black wall little by little, and finally only his mouth, nose and hands were exposed.

helpless!

remorse!

Panic!

Not willing to give in!

All kinds of negative emotions came swarming in. Gawain was completely desperate and couldn't help but sigh:

"It's over!"

Just as he was about to close his eyes and wait for death, a scream suddenly rang out from within his body. Gawain was instantly sucked into the black wall, and then "vomited" out.

"I...I'm still alive?"

Gawain got up from the ground, in disbelief.

He found that not only was he unscathed, but even the witchcraft and magical items had returned to normal. Moreover, he seemed to be on the other side of the black wall, appearing in the aisle, flanked by rows of neat bookshelves.

"What's going on?"

"Cough cough cough~~~"

"Cough cough cough~~~"

Gawain frowned, suddenly coughed violently, covered his mouth with his hand, and spit out the corpse of a bug. He suddenly realized that it was his companion bug [Snail].

One died.

He looked at the black wall with a complicated expression, understanding that the black wall was not a witchcraft trap.

But a more terrifying curse trap.

But he happened to have a companion worm, so he died with the companion worm.

【Companion worm】: Snail (35)

"One is indeed missing."

Gawain glanced at the krypton gold panel, feeling a little sad, but more afraid, he never wanted to experience that feeling of helplessness on the verge of death again.

Gawain slowly calmed down, walked to the bookshelf, picked up a hardcover book, and found that there was a lot of dust on it.

The title of the book was "Valco's Travels".

He flipped through it and threw it back on the bookshelf, and picked up another book, which was called "127 Refining Postures for Fertility Potion".

Gawain put the books down and checked them one by one.

He found that there were many books, very miscellaneous and messy, but they were well preserved. Most of them were miscellaneous books, and there were also many books on witchcraft and knowledge. Overall, they did not exceed the scope of witchcraft apprentices.

Think about it.

More precious knowledge will definitely not be placed randomly.

However, Gawain did not gain nothing. He found a "Magic Potion Array Maintenance and Operation Manual", which had a detailed interpretation of the magic array center of the magic potion garden.

Based on this, the magic array center can be maintained and operated.

He also learned the name of the black wall from a "Standards for Advanced Apprentices in the Tower of Silence", called [Wall of Sighs], which is indeed a terrible curse trap, and even formal wizards find it difficult to enter.

The method to safely pass through the black wall is actually very simple.

All you need is a password.

He didn't know the content of the password, but he spent half a day sorting out all the books that recorded the Tower of Silence, and read them one by one to the black wall. When he read "Silence is better than a thousand words", the black wall automatically opened a passage.

"Finally done!"

Gawain breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

And memorized the password.

After he had no worries about the way back, he began to explore forward and soon walked into the innermost dark room. When he looked up, he saw a figure nailed to the cross.

Just as Gawain was about to take a closer look, he groaned, lowered his head, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes.

[Mechanical Mind] was also automatically turned on.

He closed his eyes tightly, endured the burning pain in his eyes, and his heart was like a mirror.

According to the tip-off from the ghost ship Azhou, he knew that the guy nailed to the cross was most likely the reincarnated [God of Sea Beasts] Ares, who was not someone he could look directly at now.

Gawain didn't dare to look anymore, and hurriedly took off his robe.

He threw his hand.

The robe flew up.

It barely covered the head and half of the body on the cross.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, opened his burning eyes, and felt his vision was a little blurry. He quickly took out the [Holy Light Pocket Watch] and cast a [Holy Light Spell] on himself.
