The night watchmen cleaned up the kitchen of the Nightfort. The secret passage was unknown how deep it was. Everyone piled various supplies on the ground and began to calculate how much supplies they needed to bring in.
"You don't need to bring torches and kerosene inside. I'll use magic to illuminate you." Witte saw that they were preparing torches. If there were any spider webs inside, if it was ignited, the entire secret passage would be set on fire in an instant, and they wouldn't be able to escape.
Place to escape.
Hearing what Werther said, everyone felt relieved, threw away the torches and brought more food.
Werther, Robb and Weimar stood at the edge of the well, watching the magic light slowly fall to the bottom of the well.
"Fortunately, the bottom is not blocked by ice." Weimar said while lying at the mouth of the well.
"If it is blocked, there won't be so many little spiders coming in." Robb saw many spider corpses burned to death in the fire at the bottom of the well.
"I'll go down first." After saying that, Witte jumped and landed at the bottom of the well with a bang. The well was about fifteen meters deep. Witte looked at the soil at the bottom of the well. It was frozen soil that had dried up long ago, or rather, this well.
Wells are not used to draw water.
Werther saw a few white things still moving in the gaps in the well wall, raised his head and shouted: "Get away!"
As soon as the heads at the well shrank back, raging flames burst out of the well. Then they heard popping sounds one after another, which was the sound of the little spider's abdomen exploding after being heated by the flames. p>
It didn't take long for the flames to extinguish, and a stairway of ice grew from the well wall, going straight from the wellhead to the bottom.
"It's so convenient for magicians to work!" Weimar came over with a bundle of rope in his hand.
"Most magicians don't use magic so extravagantly." Just as Robb was about to turn over and go down the well, the direwolf Gray Wind on the side bit his pants.
"You want to go down too? Well, I'll have the luxury of using my magic to lift you down." Robb touched Gray Wind's head and slowly walked down the icy stairs.
The cobwebs at the bottom of the well were burned away, and a white weirwood door appeared in front of Werther, with a wrinkled human face on it. There was a fist-sized hole at the bottom of the wooden door, which is where the little spider crawled out. p>
If the little spider can get through, the person has to open the door to pass through. Werther held his hand on the person's face and did not break the door directly, because Werther sensed that this wooden door was a magic object through magic power. It should be as old as the Great Wall when it was built. Werther was worried that it would be as old as the Great Wall.
The magic circles at the bottom of the Great Wall are connected together. Because of this, with the passage of time and disrepair, the magic inside the wooden door has lost all.
Injecting an extremely small amount of magic power, Witte carefully felt the ancient and exquisite magic circle inside the wooden door.
After a while, Robb, Gray Wind and Wayma all reached the bottom of the well. At this time, the white wooden door began to glow faintly, and the human face carved on it opened its eyes. The eyes looking straight ahead were also made of weirwood.
Bai Bai, without looking at anyone present, at the same time the wooden door made a sound:
"Who are you?" is an ancient saying used by our ancestors.
Fortunately, Werther learned something from Son of the Forest Ye Zi: "I am Werther Baratheon."
The cold wind from the wellhead blew in again, and Werther still kept holding the door, but the wooden door did not respond at all.
"Voice control? A secret code? Robb, Waymar, think about it too." Wit asked the two of them.
Robb thought for a while: "It is said that the Great Wall was built by Brandon the Builder. Maybe I, a Stark, can do it."
Werther withdrew his magic power and injected it again. The wooden door made a sound again: "Who are you?"
"I am Robb Stark." Robb also learned the ancient language in King's Landing and answered in the manner of Werther.
The wooden door still doesn't respond. It seems that the Stark family's blood cannot be used to open the door.
Great Wall, wooden door, secret passage, user. After thinking carefully for a while, Werther pulled Weimar to his side, taught him a few ancient sayings and injected magic again. "Who are you?"
Weimar replied in a stammering ancient language: "I am Weimar Royce, and I am the night watchman!"
The wooden door reacted this time, and the white light flashed, but it still did not open.
Witte sensed through his magic power that the magic circle inside the wooden door had just begun to rotate. He also found that the magic circle had patterns similar to those used to identify living creatures. When rotating, several linkage mechanisms should be aligned to open the door. In Weimar's answer just now
At that time, his sentence generated several runes on the magic circle, but there was still a large gap in the magic circle, which should be a very long sentence.
"Weimar, do the Night Watchmen have any phrases that have been passed down from ancient times to modern times?" Witte turned around and asked.
Weimar thought carefully: "Yes, I heard that the oath of the night watchman has never changed."
"Robb, teach him to translate the oath into ancient language word by word." After speaking, Wit continued to sense the wooden door. This is a good thing, a voice-activated door! Now write down all the formations, and then slowly study them carefully when you go back.<
/p>
Under the watchful eye of a circle of night watchmen brothers above the wellhead, Weimar stumbled and recited the ancient version of the night watchman's oath until he recited: "I am a sharp sword in the dark, a guard on the Great Wall. Against the cold flames, at dawn.
The ray of time, the horn that awakens the sleeping, the shield that protects the kingdom."
"Go!" The wooden door finally said the second sentence, and the lips of the human face carved on the door began to open wider and wider, until finally the wooden door turned into a big mouth that could allow people to pass through.
"It's done!" Weimar was surprised when he looked at the changing shape of the wooden door.
Several magic light spells flew from Witte's hand and flew into the secret passage. The light ball did not stick to the wall, but was caught by the spider web and hung precariously on the top.
Witte put his hand on the spider web, and through the highly conductive spider web, he instantly sensed the shape of the underground passage.
The secret passage is two meters wide and two meters high, running straight through the bottom of the Great Wall. The exit is in the ghost forest about one kilometer outside the Great Wall. This is just the original structure of the secret passage.
There is a magic circle at the bottom of the Great Wall to block undead creatures. At the secret passage that leads to the Ghost Forest section of the Great Wall, countless caves are drilled into the wall. The interior of the caves is intricate and stretches for several kilometers underground. It is like a huge underground castle. p>
Through the connected spider silk, Werther also sensed numerous huge white spiders. They are magical creatures!
Hiss Spiders who are also extremely sensitive to spider silk also sensed Werther at the same time. The nest was discovered by humans, and each ice spider opened its mouth and hissed.
"Fuck!" Werther also yelled.
"There really are ice spiders as big as horses! The night watchmen are guarding the mouth of the well! Weimar, you go up too, this is not what your current equipment can handle." Werther shouted to let them leave.
The underground cave is the lair of the giant spider. They can crawl on the roof, walls and cobwebs. The night watchman's obsidian dagger may be able to deal with them, but in this kind of terrain they are going to die. It is better for Werther to set a fire by himself.
Fast.
"Ice spider? Teacher, I'll help you!" Robb took off the ice and held it in his hand eager to try.
Even Robb, who had turned on the magic shield, could not be burned to death. Werther promised him: "Grey Wind wants to go in too? His hair will be gone at all."
"I have never been separated from it, and I can also cast magic on it now." Robb raised his left and right fists and squeezed them. The yellow light instantly enveloped him and Gray Wind, forming a layer of protective magic protection.
Membrane.
"Bran taught you this?" This magic was not developed by Werther.
"Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him a green seer." Robb thought of how Bran spoke like an old man at that time. Combined with what Wit had said about Bran's magical heritage, he knew that his younger brother did not have this ability.
Werther took the giant sword from his back and held it in his hand: "That bastard Green Seer! Vampires are everywhere, and now the ice spiders are nesting under the Great Wall. He didn't even give me a letter!"
Robb had a silly smile on his face and didn't dare to answer. The only person in the entire continent who dared to scold the Green Seer was probably Veidt.
Through the communication between Ye Zi and the others, all the magicians know that the Green Seer is a person who can see through the past and present. Big people will not care too much, scolding him will not be life-threatening, but maybe one day when eating, he will not pay attention to something.
A crow will stuff a cockroach into a piece of bread.
"Robb, be on your guard. The night watchmen above are all out of the way. I'm going to set a fire!" Werther shouted, preparing to set a fire in the well again.
The weirwood door cannot be destroyed, so Werther used transmutation magic to cover it, also covering Robb and Gray Wind, and then flicked out a few sparks with his finger and threw them into the spider web.
Buzz
The flames spread quickly along the dense spider webs, turning from a spark into a flame, burning from the gate to the entire secret passage, and finally turned into a violent fire spurting out of the well mouth. Werther quickly used magic to block it. In the ghost forest at the other end of the Great Wall
, the ground covered with thick snow suddenly erupted into flames that were higher than the trees, and a stone slab was blown to the height of the Great Wall before falling.
The flames came and went quickly, and the spider silk burned out quickly.
"Robb, follow me and rush in!" Werther picked up the giant sword and rushed into the hot secret passage.
"Weimar, you guys, guard this place. As long as it's not me and Werther, kill them all if they come out!" Robb raised his head and ordered, and he and Gray Wind rushed into the secret passage.
The dark secret passage was illuminated by magic light balls. Werther ran to the cave dug by the spider. His body was already covered with various defensive magics. The last time he went into the cave in the ruins of Valyria was not a good one.
It's still an artificial building, it's a mud cave dug by spiders, and Werther doesn't want to be trapped in a place like this.
"This is it, Robb, I'm in front and you are behind!"
The floor of the secret passage was paved with stone slabs. As soon as Werther stepped into the cave on the side, he felt the solid soil under his feet.
Two people and one wolf entered the cave, which was connected in all directions, and Werther's magic detection could not cover it all. In order not to get lost, he could only keep walking along the leftmost passage.
Kakaka, his leg armor made an unusual sound when he stepped on the ground. Werther looked down and saw a lot of broken ice crystals.
Robb picked up a piece and inspected it, and even brought it to his nose to smell it. He and Gray Wind were in a highly connected state, and his perception was now extremely sensitive: "This is a newly dug cave and there shouldn't be ice. There are still ice crystals that have not dissipated.
The magical atmosphere."
"It should be the remains of an ice spider. Look at the wall in front of you." Witte pointed at the cave in front of him with his sword.
The caves they walked through before were burned by flames, and all the spider silks were burned away, leaving only smooth walls. The cave ahead was covered with spider silks again.
"In order not to be ignited, these spiders came here and cut off the spider webs, and were burned to death here." Witte kicked a large piece of ice crystal, raised his hand and hit the wall covered with spider silk with a fireball.<
/p>
The fireball exploded and the flames dissipated, but the spider silk was not ignited.
"Can't ignite?" Werther carried the sword and walked to the spider silk to take a closer look. He found that from here to the depths of the cave, all the spider silks were coated with a layer of pale yellow mucus, which contained bland magic.
The breath mucus prevents the flames from spreading.
"It seems that these ice spiders know that spider silk is afraid of fire, and they have managed to survive to this day."
Werther and Robb continued to walk deeper into the cave, croaking, and making unpleasant sounds when they stepped on the disgusting mucus. Gray Wind was even more irritated. It had no shoes, and its four feet were covered with yellowish dirt.
Even Robb frowned.
"My badge is vibrating! A magical creature is coming." Robb assumed a fighting stance.
"Don't be nervous, I also sensed it. They should be ice spiders. They are moving back and forth in the passage ahead, as if they are carrying something, and they are not coming towards us." Werther did not stop and continued walking.
By.
He turned his giant sword into a sword flower and stabbed it diagonally into the wall on the right. Only then did Werther slowly turn his head.
Hiss
On the wall covered with yellow mucus, a spider larger than a human was nailed to the wall by a giant sword. Its body was also covered with yellow mucus, and its eight legs were curled up to look like the wall.
But Witte's detection magic could clearly see them in sight, and he found it before he reached this passage. Seeing that it remained motionless, he thought it was injured and resting, so he raised his sword to try it when he came to it.
Test how much attack it can withstand.
"Damn, it's so big!" When Robb saw the legendary ice spider for the first time, he was startled by the giant thing in front of him.
The giant sword pierced the spider's back, and its eight long legs kept struggling, tearing up all the spider webs around it. Some ice shards exploded from its shell, and the bullets made a tinkling sound on the Veit Dragon Bone Armor. The spider returned
A web of spider silk spewed out from its abdomen, wrapping Werther into a giant snow-white cocoon within a few seconds, but the giant sword nailed to his body remained motionless.
"A bit stronger than a horse. There is a huge spinning device at the end of the abdomen. The spider silk is extremely strong. It has poisonous fangs in its mouth. It can lift the four legs in front of it and attack at the same time. The attack range is about four meters. Ordinary humans can only attack from a distance, never
Close combat."
Flames ignited on Werther's body, and the spider silk outside his body burned out instantly. The flames spread along his arm to the giant sword, and began to burn from inside the spider's body. Werther silently counted the time.
There was a popping sound followed by a fart-like explosion.
The spider exploded, and the lake of internal organs was filled with Wirth and Robb. In less than a second, the flesh and blood quickly turned into crystal ice and fell to the ground.
"10 seconds! It takes 10 seconds for the first-level fire magic to burn them to death inside the body. If it burns on the surface of the body, and ice magic is added to the shell, the lowest-level fire magic will continue to ignite for about 30 seconds, which is not very optimistic."
Vert told Robb about the findings of the test just now.
"Now two-thirds of the magicians in the Seven Kingdoms can only use first-level magic, but by combining alchemy and magic circles, they should be able to deal with them." Robb also evaluated himself by the way, and found that he would have no problem dealing with such things.<
/p>
"Quantity!"
The ice spider screamed before it died. Werther sensed that some of the busy ice spiders were beginning to come this way. Werther turned around: "I have to evaluate the reproduction speed of these things! There are two roads, Robb, you are in charge
On the right, the caves merge into another place at the next fork, and I'll wait for you there."
"Ha!" As soon as he finished speaking, a red sword energy flew out, and Werther ran towards the cave on the left.
"Grey Wind! This is our first real fight together. Stop being disgusted by the mucus on your feet and try to get us to the intersection first!" Robb touched its head.
The wolf's sense of smell is too sensitive. After establishing a psychic connection with Gray Wind, Robb's nasal cavity has always been filled with stench. People and wolves have different taste preferences. For wolves, the stench of decay means there is a corpse to eat.
As for humans, the stench almost made Robb faint.
"Let's go!" Robb and Gray Wind rushed to the cave on the right. A red light appeared on the ice giant sword, and the red light slowly extended out of the tip of the sword, one inch, two inches, and still extending.
