The translucent purple glazed flower lay quietly in his hand, and Roland sighed and put it in his backpack.

This thing might not be too valuable if it were just a game, but if you look at it from a 'real' perspective, it's a different story.

There was only one petal before, and the effect on Roland was not very obvious, and Vivien's mental power was not very stable, so Roland gave it to her to stabilize her spirit.

Otherwise, with Vivian's qualifications, it is estimated that it will take a year or two to become an official mage.

And now a complete World Tree flower is enough to raise Roland's soul strength by one level.

But don't rush to use it now, wait until the mission is over.

After all, I don't know what kind of 'side effects' will there be after using a full World Tree petal, in case I have to sleep for more than ten days.

Roland continued to burrow into the ground, condensing two illuminated balls of light and following him.

While forming a stone staircase in the passage, the earth is separated by earth-based elements and transported outward.

It probably took more than three hours for Roland to finally open the entrance to the Zuze Ruins.

This place is said to be the remains of the city more than 1,000 years ago, and it is normal for it to be buried nearly 100 meters underground.

He then sat down on the stone staircase to rest, while putting on his full suit of demonic rejuvenating equipment.

It didn't take long for the beta to all arrive.

The entrance to this cave is slanted, because it is too deep, the light below cannot be transmitted at all, it is black, and there seems to be some strange sounds coming from below, which is extremely eerie, as if it is a cave leading to hell.

Beta couldn't help but leave a message in the guild system and asked: Brother Roland, are you really down there?

Roland: Come down, I'll be waiting for you at the bottom.

A few people took out their torches and walked down slowly.

The hole opened by Roland was not big, just enough for a person to go down.

As we all know, walking in the dark, even with torches, can give a sense of tension if you can't see far.

Then you will feel that the road is long, or that it has been a long time.

Beta and the others seemed to have gone through a long period of darkness before they saw the white ball of light at the bottom.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time and walked briskly.

They came to Roland's side and were about to speak, but they saw a circular cavity in front of Roland, through which they could see a deep, vast darkness.

The light emitted by the summoning ball of light summoned by Roland entered the darkness and was not 'reflected' back at all, so they couldn't see anything.

This clearly indicates that there is a huge cavity in front of it, and the edge is barely visible.

And standing here at the entrance of the cave, you can feel the smell of stone and mud.

There was also a faint breeze blowing on his face.

"This should be the entrance to the dungeon."

Roland said lightly.

Then he turned and looked at the entrance that came in.

The dirt above began to pour in, and soon re-blocked the long hole.

F6 and several people understood that Roland was afraid that when they were doing the task, outsiders would break in, which was a prudent move.

It's just clear that this situation where there is no way forward and no way back always makes people feel a little worried.

After the entrance to the cave was blocked, the breeze brought by the air flow just now disappeared.

The place was quiet, so quiet that you could almost hear the heartbeats of others.

Just when several people were silent, Roland took the lead in walking into the hole: "No matter what, let's go and have a look first." ”

Everyone else took a breath and immediately followed.

At the first step into the cave, Roland felt himself stepping on a piece of soft substance, and when he looked down, he found himself following a pile of dead grass.

The dead grass lay on the ground, and when he stepped on it, the blades of the grass under the bottom turned into powder, and some dust was raised.

"Is it weathered?" Roland muttered softly.

Then move on, after all, this is a relic from one or two thousand years ago, and for such a long time, even if the things here are well preserved, it is estimated that there is a possibility of weathering.

Roland continued to walk, stepping on the dead grass and making a rustling sound.

Later, Beta and the others quickly followed.

The footsteps of the five people sounded in this open place, and spread far away

After a few seconds of walking, the sound of cascading footsteps suddenly sounded around them.

It was very weak, quite dense, as if countless people were hiding in the darkness and slowly walking towards him from all directions.

All five of them were startled and stopped at the same time.

Then quickly form a small circle back to back, watching the movement around them.

Soon, though, the footsteps faded away, as if they had never been there.

The crowd didn't speak, after all, it was a strange environment, and they were afraid of attracting some monsters or terrible monsters to hunt in the dark.

The five of them waited for a long time, but the footsteps did not sound again.

Roland was stunned for a moment, as if he had an understanding.

Then he took the initiative to continue walking.

The other four wanted to stop him, but they followed.

After all, Roland has always been the backbone of their F6.

Just follow along.

A few people walked forward slowly, and after a few seconds, the kind of footsteps that made people's scalps tingle and cascading appeared again.

Beta and the others became nervous again, and were about to form a circle again.

Roland walked slowly in front of him, and said at the same time: "Don't worry, it's multiple echoes." ”

Hearing this, the four of them all breathed a sigh of relief.

They followed Roland.

In the darkness, dense, overlapping footsteps were still there, and after a few seconds, Roland's voice also came back.

No, no, you don't have to use the burden to carry the burden......

Because of the reverberation, the voice is seriously distorted, and with the cascading footsteps, it seems that people are talking and walking in all directions, and it makes people feel goosebumps all over their bodies.

Originally, Beta wanted to talk and chat, but when she saw this situation, she suddenly lost her interest in talking.

The same goes for everyone else.

The five walked in silence.

Enduring the constant echo of footsteps, enduring the noise that was a bit degrading to people's minds, the group didn't know how long they had been traveling in the dark, anyway, they were going in one direction.

It seemed like they had walked for a long, long time, and they rested three times before finally coming to a high wall.

And here, the cascading echoes finally died down a lot.

Although there is still an echo, it is not so ghostly anymore.

After resting for a while, eating something at will, the five of them walked in one direction along the old wall, and their luck was that they didn't go far before they saw the gate.

The huge wooden gates had decayed, half sloping, and the other half had fallen to the ground.

Roland stepped on it and directly stepped on the seemingly thick city gate through a large hole.

It's also weathered.

A few people walked into the city and found that the ruins in front of them were almost intact.

The bluestone slabs on the ground were still hard, but the vast streets were empty.

Roland and the others walked down the street into the city, and Roland found the nearest house to him and poked the window...... Seemingly intact, the wooden window quickly dissolved into a pile of powder.

And Roland looked into the house and saw that this home was well placed with furniture, and there were dishes on the table, which was very neat and tidy, and there was nothing messy.

Then they checked most of the houses in the neighborhood and found that all the rooms were very neat and full of life.

It's just as if time suddenly stops at some point in time, nothing has changed, the only problem is ...... The people are all gone.

No bones, no corpses.

Not even the carcasses of animals.

The entire ruins ...... Or the whole city, 'clean', 'complete' is extremely surprising.

It's frozen in a gap in time.

Several people searched separately for a while, but did not find any useful clues, or anything unusual.

They were regrouped.

Roland placed the ball of light farther away, looking at the center of the city, the faint light reflected back, and a huge object seemed to rise up in the darkness.

"Let's go to the center of the city and maybe we'll find the target," he said. ”

The crowd moved on.

It didn't take long for them to reach the center of the city, and with the help of Roland's illumination orb, they finally saw what the huge object in front of them was.

A huge, pyramid-shaped building.

It is made of large and loud black square stones, which are very high.

"Go in and have a look."

Roland and the others found the entrance to the pyramid, and they were ready for battle.

But to their surprise, they walked around the pyramid and didn't find anything.

There is nothing but the stones of the pyramid itself, not even the frescoes.

Maybe there should be, but it may be that the technology of the pigment is not up to par, and the pigment has been volatilized over a long period of time.

The crowd found the ladder up the pyramid and then went all the way up until they reached the top of the pyramid.

This golden tower has no spire and the top is flat.

After coming up, the space here is much smaller, about 300 square meters.

So they could see at a glance that in the middle of the top floor, there was something that seemed to be a sacrificial table.

They walked around and found that the middle of the altar was empty, as if it were a large sink.

And on the top and bottom of the sink, on the left and right, there are several very peculiar, circular style hieroglyphs engraved.

Roland used a literal magic on himself, and then read the meaning of the words.

"Divine Tears of Light!"

Well?

Bright tears?

But it's empty!

What about the Bright Spring?

Everyone looked at each other.

This task is too oolong.

At this moment, Beta suddenly pointed not far in front of him and said, "Brother Roland, there is a small stone tablet there!" ”

The crowd turned their heads and saw that there was indeed a black stone tablet standing there.

There are also words written on it.

Roland walked over, half-crouched, and read the meaning of the strange hieroglyphic text on it.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving our entire city!"

Roland frowned, this 'so-and-so' is not that he can't translate it, but he can't see it at all, as if there is a layer of mosaic blocking these words.

He couldn't help but reach out and pat, trying to pat off the thing that was blocking the words.

But the moment his fingers touched these words, the stele glowed with two eyes.

Roland was startled, and he immediately retreated, summoning a magic doll and using a magic shield.

And shouted: "Magic trap, everyone be careful." ”

Roland's eyes were white, and then he half-squatted, quietly listening to the movements around him, after all, if there was an enemy attack, most of them would make a sound.

He heard the exclamations of Beta and the others, and then ...... Loud voices were heard.

There was also a comfortable breeze sweeping across his face.

Well?

The white light that Roland was seeing gradually dissipated, and then he saw ...... A bright and vivid world.
