Black Hearted Mage
Chapter 16 Underground Ruins 5
Keynes was completely naked at this time, with his hands tightly covering his private parts. His old face suddenly turned red. He immediately turned around and grabbed a piece of leather armor from the crowd and wrapped it around his waist.
"Great Magician, your butt is still exposed!"
When the baby's childish voice came, Keynes felt the veins on his forehead throbbing and felt extremely annoyed. He had completely lost face today.
"Damn it, you little bastard! Don't ever mention this again!"
Keynes roared with gritted teeth, and quickly cast a layer of magic shield on himself, then used a flash spell, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and then ran towards Violet City at the fastest speed.
"Teacher, is he really running around like this with his butt naked?"
"What else can I do if he doesn't run? I'm not so kind as to find him some clothes to cover up his ugly appearance. You should go back to the tent and meditate. I'll go find a few people to ask about the underground ruins."
"Okay, teacher!"
Caesar nodded, turned and walked towards the tent area, while old Roman began to cast the magic word to interrogate those magicians who were conscious, and interrogated more than a dozen magicians in succession.
After a long time, Old Roman finally came to the final conclusion: this underground ruins was actually a trial ground, specifically for members of the Ludwig family. Furthermore, based on the interrogation results, this trial ground seemed to be related to strength level: the higher the strength, the greater the intensity of the trial. Furthermore, there was another important point: if a non-Ludwig family member entered, they could still undergo the trial, but if they failed, their storage ring and all other items would be taken away.
However, surprisingly, the soldiers in charge of guarding the place, although they did not participate in the trial, were eventually blown out of the underground ruins by the air wave.
Faced with this situation, Old Roman didn't dare venture into the ruins. He had no confidence in the so-called "Extreme Trial," and the thought of coming out naked if he failed was simply unacceptable.
As for the personnel who entered the ruins, the Saint Roland Empire suffered heavy losses. Aside from the Paladins who didn't enter the Trial Hall, the priests and clerics all tragically perished. However, none of the Saint Roland Empire's magicians died, a fact that baffled Old Roman, who could not fathom the reason.
At the same time, most of the people from both the Magic Guild and the Nobles were injured, but strangely, none of the magicians on their side died.
"Kaisas, I want to discuss something with you!"
After returning to the tent area, old Roman pondered for a long time. Here, only Caesars had the weakest strength, and it was so low that he had no strength at all.
"Teacher, if you have something to say, just say it!"
"Kaisas, I want you to go to the underground ruins to undergo the trial. Your strength is the lowest, and the lower your strength, the lower the intensity of the trial, and you will hardly get hurt. You are young, so even if you get naked, it will be a piece of cake!"
Young Caesar looked at old Roman, then nodded helplessly. His fate was now in his hands, and he had no choice but to go to the ruins.
“My storage ring will stay here. It’s all my property!
"Leave the little snake behind as well, to avoid any accidents!"
"Teacher, you're so thoughtful! It's afraid of fire!"
Caesars did not forget to compliment him, and then he took off the storage ring hanging around his neck. Under the surprised gaze of old Roman, he put the storage ring into the linen pocket containing the black magic snake.
"Teacher, I'm going!"
Seeing Old Roman nod, the little figure walked out of the luxurious tent. Caesars also remembered his grandfather's reminder that the world of magic is a cannibalistic world, and his teacher was not so trustworthy.
Despite his reluctance, the little figure continued to move forward. He wanted to turn back, but an unyielding will drove Caesars forward. He wanted to change his fate, and he was willing to take a risk, even if it meant danger.
Caesars took heavy steps, each one like treading on cotton, his body swaying uncontrollably. His breathing became rapid and erratic, his heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to burst out of his throat. Fine beads of sweat formed on his forehead, slid down his cheeks, and dripped onto the ground.
His eyes were filled with anxiety, and he secretly prayed that this was just a nightmare. However, reality ruthlessly told him that this was not a dream, but a cruel fact. He had no choice but to face this terrible challenge and take the risk.
He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He told himself that no matter what was waiting ahead, he must move forward bravely.
Caesars clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress the fear in his heart. He told himself that he must not retreat, he must not give up.
As time went on, Kaisas gradually adapted to this tense atmosphere and his steps became more determined. Although there was still a trace of fear in his heart, he had learned to transform it into motivation, driving himself to keep moving forward.
The steps leading down were a bit high, and it was difficult for Caesar's short legs to walk down them. He needed to hold on to the wall and go down step by step.
The snow-white marble shone brightly under the magic lights. The first floor looked like a comfortable lounge, with a few soft sofas, a few wooden tables and chairs, and everything looked very simple.
The small figure didn't stop and continued down the stairs. The white marble steps were replaced by a pitch-black rock. The surface of this black stone had been polished, and the densely packed metal particles could be clearly seen.
When he reached the black stone hall at the end of the passage, Caesars looked at the exquisite murals curiously, although he could not understand the content of the murals at all.
"Boy, stand still and keep your head up!"
A tall flaming figure suddenly appeared, staring intently at Caesars. The small figure shuddered in fear at the four-meter-tall flaming figure.
"Don't be afraid, just stand still and raise your head so I can take a good look!
Of course, when Caesars raised his head, the flaming figure suddenly shuddered.
"Dude, why have you shrunk? Why are you only this small? No, you have black hair!"
The flaming figure sat on the ground, carefully observing Caesar's appearance. The small figure stood motionless, the flames before him seeming to have no warmth at all.
"That's not right. Evans has no descendants left here. I can guarantee that there is not a single one. But your bloodline is related to the fellow. What's going on?"
The flaming figure scratched his head, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
"Can I refuse the trial?"
"No, you have to accept the trial. It will be good for you. This is what the guy prepared for his family!"
"But it will hurt if you throw it away!"
"I only throw outsiders out, I won't throw you out, don't worry!"
Even Caesars was confused, but the Flame Man seemed a bit impatient, reaching out with his large hand to grab the small figure. The crimson flames were truly insensitive. On the dark, hard ground, a hidden magic pattern array appeared. The Flame Man, along with Caesars, then disappeared.
In a stone hall deep underground, the black steel rock is a whole, indicating that it was directly carved out of the rock layer.
"Don't be nervous, this is where the blood is tested!"
Looking at the smooth rock walls around him, Caesars felt even more frightened. He was skeptical about the Flame Man's words, but he didn't dare to believe them easily. His behavior made him feel very uneasy.
"Do you want to take out the blood?" Caesars asked nervously.
Caesars was a little nervous. He pricked his finger and squeezed it hard to squeeze out the blood. The pain was much worse than a bite from a black snake. His body trembled slightly, and he tried to remain calm. But faced with the fear of the unknown and the overwhelming pressure, his heart was still filled with anxiety.
"No need to take out the blood, just sit on the ground!" The voice of the fire man came again, seeming a little impatient.
Caesars sat down, half-believing and half-doubting. The pressure from the flame man was too strong, and he was now powerless to resist, so he had no choice but to submit. He took a deep breath and tried to relax. Even so, his heartbeat continued to accelerate and his breathing became rapid.
As time went by, Caesars gradually adapted to this tense atmosphere. He began to think about how he would deal with it if there was any real danger. However, he could not come up with an effective method and could only pray silently for everything to go well.
Purple magical rays shot out from the stone walls, coming from all directions, and the purple light gradually filled the stone hall. Caesars suddenly had an illusion. In the purple magical light, he felt that there was endless space.
As the numbers appeared one by one, three figures gradually emerged, becoming clearer and clearer. The flame man shuddered at the sight of the three figures, and the flames on his body began to flicker.
"Dude, you're such a fool! You didn't even know you were pregnant!"
The flaming figure muttered to itself, glancing at the younger figure, unsure of what to do. It couldn't leave the magic circle. If it wanted to send the message back, it would have to abandon this elemental clone.
"Who are they?"
"Little one, you can think of them as your ancestors, or as your parents. They are related to you by blood. Without them, there would be no you. I have to send this message back, otherwise you will be trapped to death on the Roland Continent!"
"Why are you trapped here?"
Kaisas' eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't understand why they were trapped here. After all, Roland Continent was so vast, how could they be trapped here?
"No matter how powerful the people here are, they are just a strong little ant and will never be able to break through the constraints of this world. Humans can only live for two or three thousand years, which is already the limit. Boy, listen carefully now and don't ask any questions!"
The flame man's voice held a hint of mystery and authority, causing Caesars to involuntarily shut his mouth. He then revealed shocking news: the family trial ground in this location would only be able to hold one final trial, but the rewards were exceptionally generous. Not only could one obtain the finest magical weapons, robes, and accessories, but also corresponding magic books. These were incredibly valuable treasures, the stuff of dreams for any magician.
"The trial is too difficult. I won't be able to complete it successfully!"
"Indeed, you don't have a good magic teacher, but I'll be in charge here, and your trials will be the easiest. This place will be sealed off from now on, and anyone else who enters will be beaten and thrown out. Only you can enter. I'm also your elder, so I should give you a small gift!"
The flaming figure suddenly stood up and grabbed Caesars again. In a small room, filled with a strong magical atmosphere, a large table made of red crystal was cluttered with various items. There were dozens of storage rings, some magic accessories, wands, staffs, and a large pile of magic crystals on the ground.
"You can't take any of the magic accessories, staffs, or wands, because they'll be recognized and put you in harm's way. You can take all the magic crystals, but you can only take one storage ring. These things will stay here until you're able to take them. My friends always say I have a bad memory, and I almost forgot the most important thing!"
The Fire Man walked towards the stone wall and took out a silver magic badge from the secret compartment in the stone wall.
"You must hide this badge well. It's the Frost Crown Badge. It not only increases your meditation speed but also increases spell damage by 50%. It also opens the trial grounds here. It will be of great help if you encounter elves in the western continent. It's also your beacon, and my friends will use it to find you!"
"Is this mithril?"
Kaisas took the silver badge and examined it carefully. There were very sophisticated magic patterns on it, which could not be seen with the naked eye.
"This is magic silver from the Abyssal Plane, far superior to mithril. You must hide it well. Its value is enough for any magician to snatch, including your magic teacher. Don't trust anyone here. This ruin is the best example!"
The flame man began to recount the origins of the ruins, and Caesars gritted his teeth as he listened. Ludwig Castle had taught magic for free for hundreds of years, educating thousands of magicians, only to be rewarded with their endless greed.
"Boy, you should get out now. Before that, I'll cast a mind-protection spell on you. If your teacher uses the Word of Truth on you, it won't have any effect at all. So you should be careful of him in the future!"
The flame man tossed a nondescript storage ring to Caesars, telling him to quickly collect the magic crystals on the ground. The longer he stayed in the underground ruins, the more likely the people above would become suspicious.
Old Roman in the tent area kept pacing back and forth, occasionally glancing toward the entrance to the ruins. Caesars had been down there for quite some time, and he felt a little uneasy.
