Austin looked at the mountain wall in front of him, his eyes full of shock.

After Austin applied his blood to the mountain wall, the yellow mottled earth and stone shone brightly, and in an instant it turned into a quaint bronze gate covered with complex patterns.

Of course, just this level is not enough to shock Austin.

After all, to put it bluntly, this is just a spell that changes its appearance, and it is not surprising.

Even a black iron-level caster can play this trick.

Even if these casters have a considerable degree of experience and sufficient knowledge, they can even play more fun.

Not to mention turning the wall into a bronze gate, even if it is a tall building on the spot and a flat ground turns into a pit, it is only a matter of hard work.

What was really shocked by him was the mottled and ancient atmosphere revealed by the bronze gate, the quaint and heavy feeling that seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of time.

It's like this portal is not a newcomer here, but a host who has lived here for a long time.

This feeling was extremely strange, but it involuntarily appeared in Austin's mind, causing him to have various associations.

Even, he was thinking about whether this thing was arranged by his father or the backup plan left by his ancestors earlier.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and spoke directly, "Uncle Acheson, is this place really arranged by my father?"

Atcheson didn't seem to have expected Austin to ask this. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned, as if trying hard to recall.

Renard and Bor couldn't help but turn their interest gazes to Acheson, looking forward to each other's answers.

After all, both of them had the same doubts in their hearts at this time.

Even Renard had more doubts in his heart than those in Boll and Austin's mind.

Compared to the two people who were not strong enough and could not get deeper information about this portal, Reinard could clearly sense more.

On his soul level that has been sublimated and radiates its bright light, Reinard's perception is like a needle that has been trained and refined, with sufficient sensitivity and insight.

And under such a detection, he could clearly detect the quaintness and ancientity of the bronze door.

Although this door looks a bit ordinary and even inconspicuous, it may not attract attention if placed elsewhere.

But in his opinion, the complex magic patterns engraved on this door shine with bright light, and the mysterious magic energy circuits are connected into a formation, exuding the terrifying spirit of sealing everything.

To be honest, putting this door here is a waste of things.

The portals of this level should at least appear in the imperial treasury, the headquarters of the execution department, the headquarters of the judicial department...

How can this behavior be called a secret saying by a jewel?

Thinking of this, Renard couldn't help but look a little more in his eyes when he looked at Austin.

He wanted to know what kind of mind the other party's ancestor was in order to make such a spoiled act and make such an indescribable arrangement.

That's right, Renard is talking about the past ancestors of the Augustus family, not Austin's father.

If he had some doubts about the arrangement here before, then at this time, he could say with certainty that this place was definitely not something that Austin's father could arrange.

If the previous defensive and alert magic circle could be said to be Dilles Augustus' extraordinary means, and he forced himself to move from the family to build such a secret library.

Then now when he saw this door and what might be hidden behind it, Renard completely gave up on this idea.

As this bronze door alone is so extraordinary, how could the layout behind this door be so bad?

With this level of arrangement, not to mention Austin's father, Kou Kou, secretly embezzling family resources, even if the entire family is doing their best to put all the resources on this project, it will take a lot of energy and cost to achieve it.

In this process, the entire family must be united and united.

Only in this way can only make this plan if only a family that can be called an upper class in the empire runs with all their energy and concentrates all their energy.

When Renard understood the difficulty of the project, he naturally gave up the idea that this was Deers' masterpiece.

After all, this kind of important project that is almost a family at the bottom of the box, and the top secret treasure house cannot be hidden from everyone.

Deers couldn't do that either.

Renard had some speculations about the origin of this place, but he was not in a hurry to verify it with Acheson.

After all, it can be concluded from their previous conversation that the other party did not know the origin of the place.

Renard's eyes drooped, and the storm continued in his mind.

In other words, Atcheson might have guessed something, but because he did not get an accurate response from Deers, he did not dare to give exact information.

"The master told me this place before he was dying. Before that, I didn't know much about this place."

"As for who built it and who set it up, I don't know much about it."

Yes, it's a solid reputation.

This is definitely the matter of the Augustus family counting several generations, and it is absolutely impossible for the Kung Fu of the Deers generation.

If Dals had such a big deal, Dalton wouldn't have known nothing.

Only when the ancestors of the Augustus family have completed the construction of this secret library and passed it down from generation to generation after completing information blockade among the family's senior management can the current situation be created.

Maybe this is one of the symbols of the family leader.

It can even be said that this is the authority and foundation of the family leader.

Renard curled his lips and felt aware of it.

Although Atcheson did not directly give the answer they expected, this vague answer originally explained something.

Sure enough, after hearing this, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, as if he was happy to resolve the doubts in his heart.

After clarifying the matter, Austin did not ask questions, took a deep breath and said to Acheson: "Uncle Acheson, give me the key."

Acheson did not hesitate and handed the key directly out to Austin.

There was a little complexity on his face, not reluctance, but an extremely heavy feeling of nostalgia that seemed to be missing something.

However, although Acheson's eyes were very complicated and had various emotions, his movements were still decisive without any hesitation.

Austin solemnly took the key that should have been handed over to him by his father, but eight years later, and a storm suddenly broke out in his eyes, which had been much calmer.

A trace of nostalgia flashed deep in his eyes, and the waves in his eyes were sparkling, with a luster like water.

However, he finally took a deep breath and then vented it gently.

In just a few breaths, he regained his past peace.

After looking closely, Austin held the brass key tightly and inserted it into the only hole in the bronze door.

Click!

The clear sound of the movement of the machine suddenly rang, but it did not resound in the material world, but in their spiritual world.

Buzz!

At the same time, several light blue spell auras suddenly shot out from the bronze gate, scanning Austin's whole body carefully.

Austin stood there, motionless, as if he had expected this result, and was not nervous at all.

This is also a matter of course. Before coming here, Acheson informed Austin of the full process and measures here.

This scan is also part of the process.

To open the Augustus family, a secret library with a long history and extremely high level of confidentiality, it is naturally not as simple as just a brass key.

Not to mention Austin's bloody breath when he touched the seal of the wall before, Renard probably should be the temporary arrangement of Deers.

But the bronze gate after this was not that simple.

Take this door as an example, the key, the bloody aura of the Augustus family, and the personal soul mark, must not be missing.

If the person who opened the door with the key was found to have no corresponding blood breath and soul marks when scanning, then he would have to be killed by this terrifying magic circle that stretched a hundred meters long.

And this is also why Austin asked to come over to Atcheson and unlock the lock himself.

Again, this is why Deers handed over the key to Acheson when he was dying.

Or one of the reasons.

This world is loyal and loyal, which is something that needs to be admitted.

Deers should also trust Acheson very much, otherwise he would not have let the other party as the entrusted minister and completely entrust Austin to the other party.

But in the same way, Deers also understands that we should not test human nature with interests, nor should we use temptation to test human hearts.

Because he knows that human hearts and human nature are often the most unbearable to test.

Absolute trust without restrictions can only breed corruption and deterioration. Even the most beautiful and strongest beliefs will corrode with the passage of time.

This is the past, this is the present, this is the future, and this is the generation.

This is an unchanging truth, and it is also the experience of the elders.

Trust requires constraints and checks and balances, which not only protects one's own interests, but also protects the other party.

So, Deers entrusted the key to Acheson and told the other party about other necessary conditions.

First, it is to secretly dissuade the other party from not having any thoughts that should not have, and second, it is to give Austin more bargaining chips to save his life.

After all, only the soul marks of Deers and Austin are registered on this door. If Austin dies, there will be no chance of opening the door again.

This is also for Austin to consider that if the worst result is reached, he will have a chance.
