"Who?"

Grandia hurriedly rushed out, but only saw the corners of the white robe, and she wanted to make any moves, but a roar came from overhead, and Grandia could only take a step back.

The next moment, a huge piece of rubble fell, almost smashing Grandia into a pulp.

[Fireless ashes: Is this guy trying to destroy this place?]

Obviously, the roar just now was caused by the explosion, and the source was above this ruin.

[Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: Is it necessary to do this just for the sake of the magic competition?]

Grantia typed with palpitations, she looked at the stones, each one was extremely heavy, and she alone could not think of moving it for a short time.

And this path leads directly to the central hall of the ruins, where only Grandia can be teleported to the ground through the sigil, and nothing else.

[Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: The Exploding Crystal has run out, and it looks like there's no way to do what you just did.] 】

Grantia then tried several spells that she could use, however, should it be said that it is worthy of the stone used by the relics of the Sage, the resistance to magic is quite high, not to mention those apprentice-level spells, even if the real mage comes, it will take a lot of effort to open the way.

In other words, anyone who can cause this level of damage must at least be a formal mage or a mage apprentice who has mastered the high-destructive magic channel.

Just when Grantia's various attempts failed, the time quietly passed midnight.

It is the last day of the year, heralding the end of winter and the beginning of the prelude to a warm spring, on which most of the continent celebrates the arrival of the new year.

Legend has it that this was the day when the goddess led the people of order to victory over the people of chaos, but after a thousand years, it has long since become the most important festival for the people.

It is also the day of the founding of the Royal Christian Academy, which was established hundreds of years ago by the King of the Kingdom of Astre in memory of his deceased daughter, Princess Christine.

Christine started out as an ordinary school for the children of nobles, and later, after the Magic Revolution and Astor became a kingdom of mages, it also became a magic academy, regardless of birth or background, only to train excellent mages.

Even when the Kingdom of Astor was crumbling during the Eclipse War decades ago, the academy still stood and became one of the strongholds of counterattacks, once becoming a spiritual pillar for the people along with Her Royal Highness Princess Elyfils, who organized the rebellion at that time.

And now, Grantia is trapped deep underground in this historic academy, along with the remains of the Sage.

The mark on her hand faded, and Grantia knew she was completely trapped here.

[Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: Looks like we can't catch up with the magic race.] 】

Grandia picked a rock and sat down, the bag of butter cookies in her hand, and ate it with some disappointment.

[Fireless ashes: Don't be discouraged, I think there must be another way here.] 】

Lawson doesn't have any mood swings, and he can take Grantia out of here at any time if he wants to, but now that there is an unexpected situation, it seems that he can explore the Sage's tomb a little.

[Ashes without fire: Generally speaking, when the mausoleum is built, in addition to the normal passage, there will be a second passage just in case, and this passage will generally be at the rear of the main burial chamber. 】

Rosen began to explain to Grantia with his "rich" experience in tomb robbing.

[Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: Wait, wait, how does it sound familiar, are we going through the Sage's tomb?]

Grantia immediately thought of what she and Rosen had experienced in the basement of Ultramarine Keep.

She couldn't forget the amazing combat power displayed by the wolf herder's armor, even though she still had the same strength as the Black Iron Rank, but in retrospect, Grantia still felt that she couldn't defeat the other party.

Not to mention anything else, if there was something similar in this, then Grandia would not have anyone else to protect her, and it would be difficult for her to defeat such an enemy on her own.

[Afterglow of the Fireless: That's right, do you want to stay here until a few days later, and be rescued by someone else?, Alyssa is still waiting for you, I want to compete with you, do you have to give up all this?]

Grandia's words moved Grantia a little, and she thought of Alyssa, who was silent for a moment before finally replying.

[Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: But I don't have that strong strength, and I can pass through the protection arranged by the Sage, even if I want to pass through the tomb, I can't do it. 】

[Fireless Afterglow: If you don't try how to do it, you are a mage apprentice, and you will become a full-fledged mage in the future, I believe that your seniors will not embarrass you. 】

Grantia was a little helpless, on the one hand, what Rosen said was indeed a way, there was no point in waiting here, it was better to seek a breakthrough, on the other hand, she was indeed curious about the relics of the Sage.

After all, according to Principal Trastan, those who are truly chosen can enter the Sage's Tomb and receive the inheritance.

Grantia has read many ordinary teenagers who have accidentally obtained the inheritance of the sages and finally moved towards heroic epics, and naturally her heart has longed for these legendary stories for a long time.

And now, she is on the line of the ordinary and the legendary.

[Ashes without fire: Don't worry, if something happens, I will definitely guarantee your safety.] 】

Rosen added that Grant had no reason to refuse.

Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: Alright, I'll go check the situation. 】

Grantia made her decision and walked down the hallway into the ruins.

The lights around her dimmed, and there was a chill in the air, and Grandia was soon in front of the door.

[Fireless Aftermath: Wait, there should be some traps here.] 】

Lawson motioned for Grantia to slow down, and in the next second, Grantia stepped into the alien space.

Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: W-What's going on?]

Grandia felt instinctively frightened by the void space, and she was a little overwhelmed, and directly picked up the shining crystal, trying to soothe her restless heart with light.

However, the moment the light shone brightly, the surrounding scene immediately changed.

In an instant, Grantia was back where she had been, and the door still stood in front of her.

[Fireless Ashes: Defense, just lifted?]

Lawson was also a little surprised, could it be that this defensive spell would disappear only because of the trigger of the shining crystal, it was too outrageous.

Or is Grantia the real chosen one, so she can easily break through the seal?

While Rosen was thinking, Grantia had already subconsciously passed through the barrier of magic and arrived in front of the door.

[Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: What was that?]

[Fireless Afterglow: It seems that you are indeed qualified to enter here, and the one just now should be some kind of mechanism for testing qualifications. 】

While the two were talking, Grantia had already pushed the door open.

The door was not heavy, and it didn't take much effort for Grandia to open it, and the dust fell, turning the surroundings hazy, and she looked inside, where a bright lamp was shining throughout the burial chamber.

Surprisingly, there was a person who was already standing there first.
