Chapter 22 The Knights Walking into the Abyss

Early morning was the most confused period of Tianyi, so he yawned and came late, completely ignoring the time he had set and chose to be late.

Fortunately, there were no people in the Colosseum early in the morning. The Count and his entourage placed the boxes by the stone wall and covered them with canvas. A group of people stood around like a party of street gangsters.

When Tianyi entered the count's sight, Earl Bore was overjoyed. He came forward without mentioning the fact that the other party came late. He just couldn't wait to say, "Master, you are here, can you start?"

"Yeah." Tianyi agreed casually, waved his hand, and signaled the people next to him not to block his way. He took a few steps to the wall and took out a small piece of green debris from his clothes, which was about the same size as a chalk head.

He squatted down, digged up some sand and carved two crosses at a position below the surface of the ground: "I have not studied your mark much, so let's just do it." Before he finished speaking, the marks engraved on the wall with a blue light gradually dimmed, and soon faded and disappeared.

"Well...Master, I don't know if this is the one..." The Count hadn't finished asking.

Tianyi interrupted, "Then I will make the ground behind me a variable hidden entrance, and this sign is the switch that touches the entrance." He turned around and walked forward a few steps: "But at this moment I just temporarily sealed the passage with soil to prevent someone from accidentally stepping on the empty space." He said, stomping his feet on the ground, and a large piece of ground in front of him collapsed.

The pit was pitch black. Looking inside from the visible entrance, it was a slope with a relatively steep slope. The entire tunnel was cylindrical, like a sausage.

Then, Tianyi took out a few black papers, and the count recognized that they were the papers that he had folded in the bookstore before, with magic circles printed on them. At this moment, Tianyi had four black papers in his hand, three of which were flat, and the remaining one was like a folding fan, with one positive and one negative clauses. The magic circles drawn on the four black papers were the same, but no one knew what the wizard in front of him wanted to use these papers to do.

Tianyi squatted in front of the hole in the passage, put the folded black paper underneath, and placed the three flat pieces of paper on the other three sides. He muttered something softly. The magic array on the paper emitted a flash of light, and then the three pieces of black paper dyed into ashes on their own.

The Count and his followers saw a shocking scene. The tunnel in front of him, which was shaped like a hollow sausage, gradually changed from the entrance. The sand on the slope under his feet rose and fell, folded and fixed, and turned from near to far, one by one into step-by-step steps. The walls that expanded in arc shape on both sides and the slopes above his head were flattened by a pair of invisible pushers, turned into flat and vertical walls. However, the angle between the top and the sides of the tunnel was not right angles, and they were still looking at a certain arc.

"God..." The Count's entourage drew crosses on his chest, marveling at the wonders they saw. He instantly admired the "master" mentioned by the Count.

The Count looked up at Tianyi and said, "This is such an amazing magical spell, master."

"No, this is a kind of science." Tian Yi curled his lips and replied listlessly: "Theoretically, everyone has the qualifications to learn the 'magic' thing. Unfortunately, after more than a thousand years of practice, it is still difficult for humans to master this science, and very few people can overcome the threshold. Recently, I am considering taking a different approach and studying a scientific system that allows every ordinary person to have the opportunity to use or participate in the creation. I call it a 'mechanized' civilization, which is much easier than a magic system. There is almost no requirement for 'understanding', and you can learn and apply it by just accumulating knowledge. Maybe in a few hundred years, everyone will be able to master or at least use this technology. I hope that humans will progress faster than before the thousands of years."

The count basically didn't understand the charlatan-like remarks, anyway, he felt very powerful.

Tianyi didn't expect any of the people in this group to understand what he said. He just waited for the ladder to extend downwards and took advantage of this boring time to find some topics to talk about.

"Are the torches ready?" Tianyi asked.

"Yes, everything is ready." The count replied.

"Then let's light the fire and go down quickly before attracting others' attention." Tianyi said.

The Count just gave a wink, and his followers understood it. They took out the torches prepared in advance and lit them, picked up the wooden box, and prepared to set off.

"You guys go down first, and I hid the entrance when I followed him down." Tianyi said.

The followers looked at Earl Boger, and the Count nodded as a confirmation signal. The followers received instructions and held torches and boxes without hesitation, and entered the mysterious passage made by "magic".

The Count walked at the end of the team, and Tianyi followed the Count down. When he stood in the passage below the ground, Tianyi took out a strange prop. It was a knot. The rope used was just an ordinary hemp rope, but the rope emitting a decayed breath. He threw the knot on the stairs in front of him, took out the fragment with blue light, looked up at the length and width of the entrance, took a few steps back, and signaled the Count to stand on the lower stairs behind him.

Tianyi used the fragment to draw a line on the ground along a certain step. After doing this, he recited the spell again. As his spell ended, the knot also burned into ashes.

Then Tianyi turned around and said to the count, "Go down." After that, he made a gesture of pulling the rope downwards. The stairs behind him suddenly rose like a living, closing the entrance, and obscuring the light shining from outside.

In the swaying fire of the torch, Tianyi took off the cap on his head and stared at the count and said, "Let's go, your followers will be worried if they don't see you."

At this moment, in the count's eyes, there seemed to be a bad breath in Tianyi's face. Perhaps this was just an illusion arising in the claustrophobic environment, or perhaps it was just a cause of unreasonable fear in his heart. The count quickly drove this thought out of his mind and told himself: This wizard has helped me so much. If he wanted to harm me, he would have taken action long ago, and I shouldn't have thought about it.

"Okay, master." The count responded, held the torch and walked down quickly.

Tianyi followed him. The moment the count turned around, Tianyi's mouth soon climbed up a sneer, and then his face was filled with evil and terrifying smiles. If the count saw this expression, it would probably scare him down the stairs.
