Chapter 109 Felix's Psychological Counterattack
Through the canteen, bypass the courtyard in the center of the city hall, and then walk deeper, it is the place where senior officials work. Of course, senior officials will not appear in their offices most of the time, so it is often empty, just like now. No one speaks along the way, and in the depressing silence, there is only the sound of clicking footsteps echoing in this huge and empty building. Walking along an unmanned corridor to the end, Ferek pushed open the door to the end, and appeared in front of everyone a very ordinary office with the furniture in the room except for a book
Apart from the table and a few seats, there is only a row of bookcases behind the desk. Everyone was very sensitive to the fact that there was no dust on all the furniture surfaces in the room, as if someone was wiping them carefully every day. However, according to common sense, as the end of this journey, whether there are secret passages or teleportation arrays in the office, it is not suitable for the servants to clean them frequently. However, when you think of the strange skills of the mages, you are not surprised. It is just a simple dust removal, even a silver-level mage can easily do it, let alone a legendary mage like Ferek.
Felek slowly walked to a row of bookcases and reached out to brush across the wall next to the bookcase. He didn't know what kind of magic he had done. The ground of the office opened a dark passage as he moved. The passage was a staircase. The staircase extended diagonally downwards, extending beyond the range of light. He didn't know how deep it was. From above, the dark passage seemed to be full of danger, like a beast lurking in the dark, opening its mouth wide and waiting for the prey to fall into its mouth.
"This is the entrance." Felek said with a courteous smile as usual: "There are no complicated branches inside, don't worry, and I will lead the way for you. Please come with me, the light of fireflies."
As Ferek chanted, the cold fluorescence gathered into a ball on his head, dyeing the surrounding environment a pale color. Even a little green faintly revealed in the pale, which looked full of weirdness. As if everyone was confused, Ferek explained considerately: "The bottom is too dark. If you use an ordinary light source, it is too bright and dazzling. It would be much better to use this fluorescence. No matter how long you stay, your eyes will not feel too uncomfortable."
"Thank you so much." Although both sides have officially become enemies, both Ferek and Catherine maintained proper etiquette. Catherine bowed gently and said, "Thank you for your considerateness, Lord Ferek."
"Nothing, this is what I should have done." Ferek pulled the hood on his head, responded with the wizard's etiquette, and turned around and walked down the stairs. Staring at the darkness that gradually swallowed Ferek's figure, Catherine's pupils shrank slightly, but she followed without hesitation. Moore made a few smacking sounds with unknown meaning and said, "You follow, otherwise you probably won't feel at ease. I'm at the end of the last guard, so you don't have to worry about the back."
"Then please." Panis was not polite either. He nodded to the other girls, followed by Catherine and entered the darkness.
Only when you really walk into the secret passage can you find that the steps are square and spiral downward, turning at right angles every few meters. With just two turns, the light seeping in from outside is no longer visible, and only the fluorescence above Ferek's head is left around. As Ferek walked, he suddenly said: "If you don't feel used to it, you can turn on your own lighting equipment. Although it is not very good for your eyes, it should be fine if the time is short."
"No need, Mr. Ferek." Catherine shook her head in the dark. In fact, among the seven people, each of them carried crystal lanterns and light-attribute crystals. They could be activated for lighting at any time, but in this case, for the most basic etiquette, no one took it out and used it, but just moved forward silently in the dark.
"This is a teleportation array." Felek seemed to have become the attentive and polite consul guide whom we met when we first entered the city, and introduced to everyone as if we were introducing in the city hall: "At every meeting, all members will be transmitted here from their respective residences through the plateau teleportation system. What you see now is the place when we gather."
What Ferek refers to was a circular space of more than 20 square meters. After walking down the square spiral stairs for a while, he finally walked onto the flat ground. The so-called flat ground is this circular space. A large teleportation array lies not far below the stairs. There is no magical glory on the teleportation array, and it has obviously been abandoned.
"You?" Vivian, who had just walked down, frowned, looked down at the teleportation array and said, "This magic array...the other end has been destroyed. It's a pity to destroy it like this."
"Oh, of course I'll be abandoned. Are you right?" Felek smiled meaningfully, without explaining the word "we", but turned around and pointed to the space opposite the magic circle and said, "The destination is at the end of the corridor in front. Come with me, he's waiting for you inside."
The corridor in Felek's mouth is a long corridor. The corridor looks straight and hundreds of meters long, and there is no end in the darkness. Walking on the corridor always makes people feel the illusion of walking in an ancient large tomb. Pannis stomped the stone floor under his feet and sighed and said, "Does the tower masters like to pretend to be mysterious like this? With such a long corridor, why not prepare a few oil lamps? If there is a lamp, it will be convenient for you to use it yourself."
"No sense." Felek shook his head and said, "Everyone who comes here is a high-level mage. It is very simple to maintain lighting in a short period of time. If this is the case, why do we have to spend extra effort to add lighting equipment to the walls? After adding, you have to spend energy to maintain it. Everyone is a lord or senior officials of certain territories. Who has so much time to maintain these things? Haha."
In the darkness, Catherine gritted her teeth. She knew the purpose of Felek's words very well, but even if she understood everything, she had to admit that the other party's psychological offensive played a certain role. On the surface, the other party was automatically exposing his secrets, but in fact, he did not reveal any substantial content. Instead, to some extent, she began to worry about completely solving this matter.
