Outside the carved gate, a female warrior in sexy armor watched the figures of the male warrior and Lin An disappear into the door, and the darkness in the door seemed to be opaque, swallowing the figures of the two in an instant. 「」

Then the gate closed slowly and silently, and the gate on the ice wall and the beast sculptures on both sides gradually became blurred, and as the two became illusory, two sharp ice rocks slowly emerged, and the path between the ice rocks was re-revealed, zigzag to the invisible place.

The warrior woman standing in front of the ice rock withdrew her gaze and turned back to the path in front of her, continuing to wait for the arriving guests.

But there was a shock under his feet, and there seemed to be an explosion at the corner of the trail in front of him.

The female warrior could not see the explosion, but she could see a momentary distortion on the originally chiseled iceberg road, and a corridor with earthy yellow carved with quaint reliefs everywhere seemed to appear, coinciding with the iceberg in front of her.

If Lin An had been here, he would have guessed that the ruins were not the real entrance to the carved gate or the path between the two ice rocks.

Soon after she climbed the iceberg, she had already entered the range of influence of the ruins, and the entire scope of influence of the ruins almost enveloped the mountain range with this iceberg as the main peak, turning most of the mountain range into a world that was both illusory and real.

But Lin An was not here, the only female warrior here was surprised and alert and pulled out the short sword on the outside of her thigh, a translucent ring of frost rose under her feet, and her footsteps staggered, and in an instant, she drew a few zhang away, and in a few blinks of an eye, she reached the corner. 「」

But the expected saboteurs did not see it.

There was no one on the road, but a few ice rocks on both sides changed into reality, revealing the beast relief below:

The beasts that were originally crouching have turned into a posture of pounce and raise their heads on alert, and their hair blows up. There are cracks here and there on the sculptures, and it is clear that some kind of force has destroyed their original function, and it has caused a vigilant reaction, but the culprit has not been caught.

On the arm guard at the elbow of the female warrior. A ring-shaped ring lit up, and a man's voice sounded, asking in a low voice:

"Luisa. What's going on, the alert here showing your location has been touched, where has Lord Chris gone? ”

"Just walked past a Golden Shield-level guest, and His Excellency Chris is in charge of leading the way."

The warrior replied, her eyes not giving up searching, vigilantly looking around for clues.

"Guests? Gram...... What kind of nerves did he have to run to attract customers by himself? ”

The man said strangely. "Well, if there's anything noteworthy about that customer, could it be his hands, after all, most of those regular customers are dissatisfied with our changes......"

"I don't know, but this guest is a female mage. The explosion only happened after she entered the gate," the dagger in the warrior's hand flicked at the fragments of the sculpture on the ground, "There was no trace left at the scene, it felt like a spontaneous explosion." ”

"Hmph, it must be one of the guests who have walked your way, I didn't expect someone to crack the secret of the sculpture so quickly, the group of wastes led by Nicholas obviously got the sub-high-level permission by mistake, and someone else can crack it when they pass by. It took him nearly half a year! ”

The female warrior knew that the speaker was in opposition to the mage faction led by Mage Nicholas, and did not intervene in his venting words, only said:

"The mages are all inexplicable guys, maybe he just knows that we don't know, and he has been deliberately fooling around and delaying before, maybe ......"

"That's right! That bastard......"

The sound in the ring faded away, and the light of the ring disappeared. The warrior knew that the other party must be going to trouble Mage Nicholas again, but he was not as reckless as he said he was, so he must have used this excuse to bargain with Mage Nicholas.

The warrior stood there for a moment, and the cracked beasts gradually changed from an alert posture to a curled dormant appearance, lying quietly on the ground, and then disappeared, where they were reappeared and turned back into ice rock.

But the female warrior knew that the vigilance and protection on those beast sculptures had disappeared, at least not for a short time.

Inside the gate, Lin An, the initiator, felt that the few spiritual powers he had separated from him disappeared one after another, and he knew that he was afraid that he had touched some key prohibition and was blown away by the other party, and he was slightly surprised, but also secretly surprised:

The few points of spiritual power she divided together were less than one ten-thousandth of the total, and it didn't hurt the roots, and it was easy to recover, but no matter how little, it was also a half-step legendary level spiritual power, which had been realized, and it was not the same as the spiritual power of ordinary mages, and it actually exploded so quickly, which shows the danger of those trapped traps.

"Master Lin...... Are you listening? The male warrior who was leading the way in front and was introducing the auction layout called out to Lin An a few times.

"I'm sorry, I was distracted just now," Lin An came back to his senses and replied, "Where did you just go?" ”

A hint of strangeness crossed the male warrior's eyes. 「」

In fact, Lin An walked on the suspension bridge over this abyss without hesitation, which was enough to surprise him:

Because this is not flat ground, if their people do anything on it, she will probably not be spared - although the white-robed mage already has the ability to fly, in other people's territory, no matter how strong the air superiority will be compromised.

Ordinary mages don't like this kind of artificial moat and dangerous terrain, and most of them will think about it when they walk on such a bridge, but this Mage Lin walked up without hesitation, as if there was no trace of doubt.

Forget it, she still dares to be distracted halfway, does she really believe in the organizer so much, or is it because of self-confidence and strength?

There was a hint of strangeness in the male warrior's eyes, and with what he knew about this one, the answer could only be the latter.

But he didn't show anything on his face, only hid the faint strange feelings under the surface, and responded to Lin An's question in his mouth:

“…… Speaking of the layout of the auction hall earlier, we have prepared a separate box for guests above the Golden Shield, and guests can also auction in the box if they do not want to show up in the front row. 「」”

Lin An thought for a while and said, "I also have a companion who came with me, but his voucher is a pair of winged shields, and the entrance is not the same as mine, I want to join him, is it okay?" ”

"Of course, as long as that guest agrees, we will arrange for the two of you immediately," the male warrior immediately said, "The one you are talking about is a guest of the Feather Shield level, and there are also guide attendants, I am afraid that he will come to you soon." ”

"Golden Shield, Feather Shield...... It seems that there is no special pattern for the naming of your levels. Well, how many tiers do you divide your guests into? Lin An asked with interest.

"So far, our guest levels from low to high are Long Shield, Golden Shield and Feather Shield, as for what level is above the Feather Shield, it's not for me to know." The male warrior's eyes flickered and replied.

Lin An smiled, she saw that the male warrior's flickering words seemed to be hiding something, but she didn't continue to ask, the male warrior's words were half-true and half-false, and Lin An couldn't find out how much of his truth was based on his mental power perception alone.

However, Lin An knows more about prehistoric ruins than ordinary people:

The token in their hands is not so much a certificate to participate in the auction, but a token of authority for the relics, and the level of the auctioneer is probably also divided according to the sign on the certificate, so there is this way of dividing the long shield and the golden shield.

However, Lin An did not have any covetousness for this relic, because the auctioneer dared to give away the low-level authority of this relic, I am afraid that he already had a fairly high-level authority, and maybe even the highest level, and could revoke or prohibit the certificate authority with a single decision.

Of course, Lin An felt that the possibility of the other party getting the highest authority was still quite low, because this was previously occupied by the demon clan, and it would take only half a year for the auctioneer's people to discover and study this relic at most, and even if this relic was scrapped, it would not be so easy to get the highest authority.

What's more, according to Lin An's guess, the forces behind the auctioneer are a bit complicated, and there is only one supreme authority, and other people in the auctioneer's forces will not sit idly by and watch the supreme authority fall into the hands of one person, if it is really accidentally obtained, then the people in that force will not agree to choose this relic as the auction venue.

The suspension bridge is not short, the glacier in the abyss under the bridge is faint, Lin An and the two walked on the suspension bridge, there were no human figures in front and back, and it was a little weird.

Lin An didn't think that there were no participants before and after she entered, but maybe she couldn't see it - now that she knew that this was the inside of the ruins, Lin An didn't dare to casually release her spiritual power to investigate, first, it was not safe, and secondly, she didn't want to expose her strength to the authority of the ruins.

Walking off the suspension bridge, the male warrior turned around, a more sincere smile appeared on his face, and said in a low and slippery voice:

"Congratulations, Master Lin, you have officially been recognized by us as our true guest."

Lin An reacted quickly, glanced back at the long suspension bridge hanging above the abyss, squinted slightly, and smiled:

"It seems that this is a trust test, what will be the consequences if you can't get through guò?"

"With the stamp in the voucher, the guest can still leave the place at any time, but after leaving, his voucher will be automatically revoked...... Well, perhaps, there will be some small, innocuous after-effects. ”

"For example?"

"For example...... You can accidentally lose a small memory that is not very important. ”

Lin An's pupils shrank and he sneered, "You guys are so bold." ”

"It's all for your safety."

The male warrior still lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were slightly cunning, and Lin An inexplicably felt a hint of familiarity from this smile.

Lin An quickly looked for the familiarity in his memory, and at the same time said coldly:

"Hmph, if something happens to my companions, I hope you can afford to pay the price!"

"Feather shield level VIPs, naturally they don't need to take this suspension bridge," the male warrior said with a smile, "Of course, as a reward for Master Lin's trust in our side, after passing through this suspension bridge, Master Lin's golden shield level credential will naturally be upgraded to the feather shield level." ”

He politely stretched out his hand to Lin An, "If you agree, please show the voucher in your hand." ”
