I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 248 The magic fails

"Wow~"

The earthen wall suddenly began to collapse, stone bricks fell to the ground, and a hole immediately opened in front of him for a person to pass through.

Suddenly a cloud of smoke and dust was stirred up.

Lancelot covered his nose and mouth and stood warily at the entrance of the cave.

After about ten seconds, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the boy could clearly see the scene behind the cave entrance.

It is a spacious room that looks a bit old at first glance.

Lancelot once again activated his magic to release detection magic.

This time nothing happened.

【It should be fine.】

After confirming that there were no abnormal fluctuations nearby, Lancelot raised his legs and strode in.

Looking around, the room was very spacious, with a square wooden table placed in the middle.

There was a rusty candlestick on the table. There was not much wax left in it, and the blackened leads hung weakly on the edge of the candlestick.

The faint yellow light is just enough to illuminate the entire room.

There were several incomplete oil paintings hanging on the walls, and messy spider webs hung all over the ceiling.

There is a large box placed in the corner, and there are wooden doors in front and on the right, both of which are closed.

The ground was covered with dust, and some places seemed to have been hit and looked very badly damaged.

After scanning the entire room, Lancelot walked to the wooden table and softly chanted a spell.

"Bang~!" The flame on the candlestick was injected with fresh magical fuel, and everything around him suddenly became much brighter. [Eh?]

Lancelot found a piece of paper pressed at the bottom of the candlestick. He moved the candlestick with his left hand, then took the paper in his hand and gently brushed away the dust on the surface with his right hand.

It's a wanted warrant for a reward.

On the left is a portrait of a girl. The portrait shows a girl with a beautiful face: slightly curly blond hair, fair skin, green eyes, and thin lips. She looks about fifteen years old.

It’s still the kingdom princess named Sarah whom I just saw at the gate.

There is some scrawled writing on the right side, probably left by the author in a hurry:

[This girl was last seen in Tucker Town.]

[Some people said they saw her staying with an old man.]

[If there are any clues that can help us find the whereabouts of the girl, please contact the king’s minister immediately.]

[Any suspects involved in this case will be mercilessly punished, and the kingdom will banish them forever!]

【.】

The rest of the writing became blurry and it was impossible to make out what was written specifically.

Holding the paper in his hand, Lancelot suddenly felt like he was playing a decryption game.

The information on the paper was incomplete and basically said nothing.

Lancelot put the paper into his coat pocket, and then walked straight to the wooden door in front.

Of course, before that, the boy released the detection magic again, and no abnormality was detected.

"Squeak, squeak~"

The door lock twisted and made a sharp and harsh sound.

【Sure enough, it's locked.】

Lancelot turned towards the door on the right and repeated his previous actions.

The results are also unchanged.

[If you don’t eat the toast, will you be punished with alcohol?]

When Lancelot saw that neither door could be opened, he immediately became angry.

The boy activated his magic power, and thousands of strands of white lightning shot out from his hands!

"Bang!"

With a violent explosion, the wooden door in front of him was completely covered by lightning.

Lancelot raised the corner of his mouth and used the extremely destructive thunder blast technique, which was more than enough to penetrate a wooden door.

The lightning lasted for a full 5 seconds before Lancelot stopped casting the spell as if he was not done yet.

【This, how is this possible?!】

The boy was surprised to find that the wooden door was still intact as before, and such a violent magic attack had no effect!

Lancelot looked at the wooden door in disbelief, then looked down at his hands.

Then the boy began to throw various spells at the door wildly, and even took out the Black Thorn Spear from another space.

As a result, it couldn't even leave a scratch on the door!

"Huh, huhu..."

Lancelot gasped for air. At this moment, he felt extremely strange, and at the same time, he began to feel real fear in his heart.

Because this time he stayed in the dream world for too long...

【Damn, what should I do now? 】

Lancelot looked around, and everything that was dilapidated and old seemed to be swallowing him up completely.

Ever since he entered the tower, the surroundings had been filled with deathly silence, like a tomb built on the ground.

【No, I must calm down.】

Lancelot put the Black Thorn Spear on his waist and slapped himself hard several times.

The burning pain on his face made him calm down a bit.

[Could it be that magic is ineffective in this place? 】

However, Lancelot just wielded the legendary artifact that could be used to kill dragons, and he couldn't even open a broken door.

Moreover, Lancelot has released detection magic and lighting spells several times before, and the auxiliary magic can still be used normally.

[Damn, it seems I can only find clues in this room. 】

Lancelot took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the wooden box in the corner. The floor creaked due to its age and disrepair.

Although Lancelot had previously adjusted the light of the candlestick to normal, the corner was still very dark.

"Crack!"

Lancelot snapped his fingers, and a milky white light illuminated the surface of the wooden box clearly.

【Um?】

The boy found a dark blue card next to the wooden box.

He bent down to pick it up and looked at it carefully.

There is a line of writing on the back of the blue card. Although it is blurry, the specific words can be vaguely discerned.

[Please save me! I was imprisoned on the top floor of this tower after they discovered it!]

[Look around you, I have drawn a way for you to reach the top of the tower!]

【Sarah.】

As before, Lancelot put the note into his coat pocket.

【Another useless nonsense.】

The boy was in a very depressed mood at the moment, and the high concentration of rotten smell in the air made him feel sick to his stomach.

Lancelot endured the discomfort and continued to observe the wooden box, and soon he discovered that the box was not locked.

Lancelot knelt down, ready to open it and take a look.

Suddenly, a strong dizziness hit my head.

"Well..."

Lancelot let out a low roar of pain, followed by a sudden spin...

——

【My head hurts】

Lancelot woke up from his sleep holding his head and found that his pajamas were completely wet with sweat.

Everything in the dream was so real that he even suspected that the scene he experienced in the tower was reality, and that he was participating in the Black Thorn Competition in the Sebion continent in the real dream.

Lancelot felt a splitting headache, and the scene in front of him was very blurry.

"No, I have to get up."

The boy murmured weakly, struggled to sit up from the bed, and then put his feet on the ground.

The huge dizziness made him unable to stand, so he fell forward.

"Crack!"
