Act 409. vigil

"Seven thousand years of history...... Reiner, are you sure? ”

His Excellency Alberton was stunned, and confirmed to Reiner, after all, 7,000 years was only said by Reiner, and there may be errors in it.

"At least more than 6,000 years, less than 8,000 years, I think there should be 7,000 years of history."

Reiner projected his measurements and calculations, and the high-ranking mages quickly understood the principle and repeated the calculations themselves before finally accepting the results.

"What does seven thousand years of history mean, do you know that, Reiner?"

Penzance, who had been silent, asked.

"Seven thousand years means that this building has surpassed the history of the ancient magic empire, it is the era of faith, and it is the product of the god generation."

Reiner replied, of course he knew that the building was clearly a very high level of magical energy, and that it was structurally stable, and that it was now measured to be more than 7,000 years old, which was as incredible as the excavation of a slavery-era skyscraper on Earth.

The age of faith, the age when the gods were still alive, in some records, is called the Dark Ages, and some records are the generation of gods, at that time, the gods controlled all the laws of this world, and the churches were the pinnacle of supreme power, until the appearance of the first mage, which brought about a change in magic, and finally overthrew the rule of the gods and established a supreme glory of the ancient magic empire.

Later, through archaeology and research, people roughly came to the conclusion that the so-called gods of the era of faith were just powerful mortals, and they were born or acquired for various reasons, or they were born or acquired, and were regarded as gods to worship, and after the mages analyzed the magic, these so-called gods were vulnerable and fell one after another.

The life of ordinary people in the age of faith is extremely hard, working every day at sunrise and sunset, without entertainment, without dreams, and without the opportunity to receive education, it is just a convenient tool of production, and some people who have awakened the ability to control magic will be quickly absorbed by the Holy See, brainwashed to become one of them, and eventually a huge class gap will be formed.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this social structure that the surviving documents about the age of faith are extremely scarce, most of them were destroyed by war, and a small number of them are only internal records of the Holy See, and few mention of the people at the bottom.

"The last unearthed ruin of the gods is the tomb of Ragnaloch, the god of death and rebirth, and the ruins are full of all kinds of magical creatures that have long been out of control and mutated, in the center of the ruins, the remains of Ragnaloc have long been decayed, but the magic in them affects the surroundings, causing people to fall into frenzy and even mutate."

Newington said, glancing at Penzance inadvertently, before continuing to speak.

"In order to thoroughly explore that ruin, at least two high-level mages fell, and more than sixteen middle-level mages died, but in the end, Ragnarok's remains were removed, and its powerful, thousand-year-long power could not be parsed at all, so it could only be sealed, and it still sleeps at the bottom of the Magic Guild's warehouse."

His words made Saxon shake his head slightly.

"Not every god ruin will be threatened like this, but in the safest case, we must wait for reinforcements to arrive."

Whether it was the raging magical storm or the strange figure in the ruins, they were extremely unstable elements, highlighting the extraordinary nature of this ruin.

Waiting for support was the best option, but Reiner was concerned about whether there would be enough time left for them.

"It will take at least three days for the other legendary mages to reach the Elliot Half-Plane, and until then, we'd better not act rashly."

Lord Alberton sensed the severity of the matter, and he glanced at the stargate behind him before continuing.

"I'm only worried about one thing right now, and that's if the ruins will get out of hand."

If the ruins get out of control, then this storm will not only gradually engulf the surroundings, the storm of magic will cover the entire Elliot half-plane in an instant, and even cause the instability of the entire half-plane, or in the worst case, it may lead to the collapse of the half-plane!

Originally, based on previous observations, it would be at least a few months before the Elliot Half was completely engulfed by the storm, but now, after confirming the presence of other people in the ruins, this prediction has been overturned.

Whether the other party is an outsider or an existing ruin, this is a huge variable, and it is very likely to induce the accelerated collapse of the entire ruin.

"A few of us take turns on duty, continue to observe the data, and if there is an emergency, we can only abandon this ruin."

Saxon suggested, and no one objected to his claim, and despite the many treasures contained in the ruins from the gods, it was not worth the risk.

Once determined, the shift for the first day was carried out by Reiner.

Several of the high-ranking mages returned to their rooms to study or rest, while Reiner was on duty on the rooftop of the council chamber, monitoring the ruins with the many observation tools left behind by Lord Alberton.

The night was very long, and Reiner kept an eye on the values of the ruins while using his magic computer to test the various samples he had collected earlier.

He found that there was an extremely high concentration of magic in the air near the ruins, which was different from the magic that mages were usually exposed to and could master, but an unstable magic that was about to erupt, walking in such air, as if constantly touching tiny bombs, and every trace of magic would cause the resonance and backlash of the magic flowing in the mage's body, which was why it was difficult for mid-level mages to survive in it.

According to Lord Alberton, there is an extremely high level of magic inside the ruins, and these magic storms outside are just caused by the small amount of magic leaked from the ruins, which shows the density of magic in the ruins.

In addition, the soil around the ruins has been transformed by the erosion of magic, and Reiner has detected many radioactive elements, which means that this desert is not just an uninhabited wasteland, but also a place where creatures will be exposed to intense radiation once they step into it.

The night was still long, and Reiner flipped through the historical records of Elliot's Half-Plane, hoping to find some clues from them, but these records had apparently been seen by the High Mages, and Reiner couldn't find anything new.

The mid-level mages who stayed behind were a little drowsy, but Reiner did not feel tired, and finally, in the corner of the canopy, the white of the fish belly gradually emerged, and a new day came, and Reiner's duty also came to an end.

But the moment he saw His Excellency Penzance flying up to the top floor, a shock wave of magic came from the direction of the ruins.
