Chapter 17 Ghost Corridor(1/2)
Holding these thin pieces of parchment paper in hand, Ma Wen was slightly moved.
He didn't know the language on these parchment papers, but he could tell them.
This is the language of ancient goblins. Before the goblins fell, this race also created a very brilliant civilization. Their engineering achievements were comparable to those of dwarfs.
Ma Wen knew very little about how ancient gnomes fell, but he had experienced the power of ancient gnome engineering.
"It seems that what these parchment records are engineering knowledge of ancient gnomes."
"I don't have a part-time engineer, and I don't seem to be able to read in terms of aristocratic knowledge."
"But this thing must be kept well and it may come in handy in the future."
Ma Wen doesn't recognize the text above, but he can understand the patterns.
On the parchment paper, there is a lifelike pattern. If he guessed correctly, it should be a very famous creature in engineering - a mechanical gargoyle.
It seems that this treasure chest was not dug out from where these goblins were, and maybe it was something they passed down from generation to generation.
Marvin put away the parchment paper and the gem of unknown material.
There are many types of azure gems. He is a rookie in both fields of [geology] and [gem identification], and he basically cannot figure out the origin of this gem.
This requires finding a professional gem appraiser.
However, the gems that can be placed with the mechanical gargoyles' manufacturing drawings will not be much worse.
...
I got the parchment paper of ancient goblins out of thin air, and this low and damp goblin cave seemed to be less dirty.
Marvin walked down the trail happily.
Soon, he found the end.
Pushing a stone away, a small platform appears in front of you.
It was dusk, with a sunset in the distance and a fog rose in the valley.
Marvin stood on the platform with a short body and looked down.
I saw that the gate of the monastery was not far away. The two painful monks were guarding the door, but knew nothing about what was inside the door.
The nearest scarlet waiters all hid in the room behind the ghost corridor and prayed. If there is no accident, they rarely come outside.
As for the demon god executor, these monsters are very small in the entire monastery. The scarlet monastery occupies a large area. Ma Wen thought that his luck would not be bad enough to hit a demon god executor, right?
A small tree grows next to the small platform, with roots deeply rooted in the rocks.
Ma Wen tied one end of the Ruyi rope to the tree, and the other end was tied to his waist.
In the afterglow of the sunset, he held the rope tightly, carefully putting himself down.
In the fog, Ma Wen's light figure slowly descended on the stone wall.
Three minutes later, his feet bottomed.
“Safe landing.”
He looked around and there was no trace of the demon god executor.
After loosening the rope and chanting a few spells, the Ruyi rope was automatically rolled up so that there would be no trace left.
When Marvin wants to return, he just needs to return to his original place and chant the mantra in a low voice, and the rope will hang down again.
This is the ability of the high elves. Only they can produce such agile equipment.
While it was not dark, Ma Wen was about to enter the ghost corridor and then arrive at the first hall.
Who knew that at this moment, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the depths of the valley!
"not good!"
"It's the demon god executor!"
"It's coming soon!"
Ma Wen's heart tightened and he almost instinctively pressed his head against the mountain wall. His body moved a few steps quickly and found a depression.
hide!

...
The tall iron-armored knight rode a terrifying war horse and came to the open space outside the ghost corridor.
It is only a dozen yards away from the gate here.
Marvin held the scimitar tightly, his nerves tense.
He can't beat this demon god executor!
The demon god executor himself is nearly two meters tall. He rode a terrifying war horse, and Ma Wen might not even reach his waist!
Not to mention that he is wearing heavy armor and is the nemesis of the Ranger profession.
His scimitar cut on armor of this strength and probably curled the blade directly. As for the key points...
It is very regrettable that as a dead creature that has died once, the demon god executor did not kill him.
Although this thing is only level 2, Ma Wen thought that even the Phantom Assassin at the top of level 2 would have to scratch his head when he met him.
Both defense and vitality are outrageous.
Perhaps some people will think of holy water. Unfortunately, there is ordinary holy water in Marvin's Void Conch, but the concentration is not enough.
The holy water sold to the outside of the Church of the Silver God is seriously redeemable. The sacred power contained in it is probably less than one hundred thousand.
It is enough to use it to eliminate zombies, as for dealing with demon god executors - it is as ridiculous as trying to kill a vicious dog with karma water!
Now Marvin can only pray that his hiding skills can be effective!
The demon god executor quickly passed by Ma Wen and suddenly paused.
Ma Wen's heart sank.
Who knew that at this time, a few strange and unpleasant bytes suddenly popped up from the mouth of the demon god executor.
Not long after, the gate of the monastery that had been closed suddenly opened.
The demon god executor pulled the reins and rushed out without looking back on his head.
The two painful monks looked expressionless and the door closed again.
A burst of dust flew.
...
"Fortunately, when I came down, I didn't meet the demon god executor!"
Three minutes later, Ma Wen, sweating all over, dared not delay and quickly stepped into the ghost corridor.
This time, it was his hiding skill that saved him. Perhaps the demon god executor did not expect that someone could sneak in under the strict control of the two painful monks.
And when hanging in mid-air, there is no way to hide!
Just hurry up and do the business!
This demon god executor should have gone out to perform the mission. Their leader is [Avenger] Feigen, who is entrenched in the third hall, an ambitious guy who was a follower of the sleeping lich for a long time, and later he became concerned about the divine character.
Anyway, he is a tricky guy. Marvin is currently not planning to have tea and chat with Feigan.
This time he came, aiming mainly in the seventeen rooms between the First Hall and the Ghost Corridor.
There may be monsters, Scarlet Waiters in these rooms. They are not undead, but mortals whose thoughts are deprived of by demon god executors. Killing them will have little experience and will not gain any benefits.
But there are many treasure chests in the room, and Marvin's goal is them.
In the quiet ghost corridor, Ma Wen started stealth and walked cautiously.
Although the Scarlet Monastery is not a dungeon and the probability of traps is low, the work he is doing is very dangerous and you must be careful.
If any trap is triggered, something will be a big deal. Especially the alarm trap.
Oil paintings hang on both sides of the ghost corridor.
They are all portraits of characters.
There are knights, nobles, wizards, and scholars...
These people all had smiles on their faces, but everyone smiled very strangely.
If you stare at a painting for a long time, you will easily get furrowed all over.
Their eyes seemed to be staring at you all the time. Everyone's smile was full of bad intentions.
All these oil paintings have problems.
However, Marvin did not go into the deepest scrub monastery. He had been to the Scarlet Monastery many times, and as long as he ignored them, nothing would happen.
To be continued...
