The week-long study visit to the Phoenix School of Magic and Wizardry was soon over, and before leaving, Reiner provided about fifty magic computers and the same number of magic tablets and supporting network communication equipment to the Phoenix Academy of Magic and Wizardry, and Phoenix only needed to go back and build a communication base station according to Reiner's instructions, build a network, and then arrange a communication cable connecting the Phoenix School of Magic and Crescent Academy, and the interconnection between the two schools could be realized.

It should take no more than a week to prepare, but Reiner doesn't see any communication with Phoenix Academy of Magic on the Internet for the time being.

Because he had promised the legendary mage Isaris. At the invitation of Lord Alberton, he is about to travel to the Half-Plane to explore a relic from the days of the ancient Magic Empire.

Before that, of course, Reiner had done his homework and learned a little bit about the ruins.

Generally speaking, there are two types of buildings that can be called ruins, one with historical records and the other with no historical records.

For historical relics, mages usually carefully study the historical records first, and guess in advance the situation of the entire ruins, whether they are dangerous, where the traps are, where the important treasure troves are, and whether there are other dangerous factors, so that the ruins are easier to understand and safer.

Of course, in the three hundred years since the fall of the ancient magic empire, most of these relics have long been swept away, and their legacy has become the hole cards of many mages, and some of them have been contributed to the inventory of the Magic Association, and it is extremely difficult to find a historical ruin.

The other type of ruins without historical records is even rarer and more difficult to find.

Some of these ruins are not even products of the ancient magic empire period, but more ancient, ruins of the Age of Faith, or even older ruins, these ruins have even been scattered in the dust of history, they cannot be found, no one knows what these ruins were in the past, and no one can predict what is in these ruins, these ruins are dangerous and elusive, and intermediate mages do not dare to go deep into them rashly.

But in the same way, these undiscovered ruins also contain unimaginable treasures, gold and silver aside, some ancient secrets, legendary spells, and strange magic props are extremely precious.

These spells and artifacts may not be very powerful now, but by studying the composition of these spells and artifacts, mages can gain new inspiration to create spells or patch holes in current spells, so excavating the ruins has been a long-standing task of the Magic Society.

And this time, Lord Alberton invited Reiner to participate in a ruin shrouded in fog with no historical records.

This ruin is located in the Elliot half-plane, which is in the three-star domain, and is five jumps away from the main plane, which is already a fairly remote half-plane.

One-third of the Elliot Halfplane is a desert, the area in the center of the halfplane, where creatures live in seclusion under rocks and gravel, and the other two-thirds of the area is a vast plain, but the last three hundred years of observation show that the desert is gradually encroaching on the plain, and the culprit of all this is the ruins hidden in the center of the desert.

"Can ruins also affect the outside world?"

Reiner sat in the floatship, he had just passed through the stargate from the previous half-plane and arrived at Elliot, and beside him was another high-level mage, Cornwall. Lord Penzance, the two of them were the last members of the expedition to arrive here.

In the face of the exploration of unknown ruins, middle-level mages can basically only be used as backups, unable to go deep into the content of the ruins, the main force of high-level mages and legendary mages, these years, led by legendary mages, the Magic Association has successfully excavated six unknown ruins, and obtained a lot of precious resources, and this one is the seventh.

"Different ruins have completely different properties, Reiner, some ruins were originally just a mage's manor or residence, and there was no danger except for a few simple traps to prevent intruders, while some ruins may be the laboratory of a legendary mage, which not only has strange magic prohibitions, but also may have mutated magical creatures."

His Excellency Penzance usually does not smile, but at this time he is quite patient to explain to Reiner.

"And this one, over time, the magic products in it may produce unpredictable changes, and eventually erode the surroundings, changing the environment of the area where the ruins are located, I remember that there was once a ruin located in a half-plane where most of the area was an ocean, and that ruin affected the entire half-plane, causing endless storms, until the core of the ruins was sealed, the storm was subsided, and according to the investigation afterwards, that half-plane was originally a calm and habitable area, However, due to the intruder accidentally triggering the protection mechanism of the ruins, the entire half-plane was ravaged by the plague. ”

Reiner listened, as if he could imagine such a scene, and from this, he thought a lot.

"So, we excavate these ruins, not only for the treasures in them, but also to eliminate the harm they may bring in advance, right?"

"You're smart, Reiner, in fact, after the known ruins have been excavated, these unknown ruins are more like a hidden danger that may explode at any time than treasures, and no one knows what will happen if something happens to the next ruin."

His Excellency Penzance bowed slightly, and at this time, the float boat had also slowly landed, and the two of them stood up after waiting for it to stop, and walked off the float.

"And."

H.E. Penzance added.

"The collapse of the Midgar half-plane, it's hard to say whether it's caused by the uncontrollable existence of unknown ruins there, after all, that half-plane has lost contact with the main plane for many years, and no one has had time to explore the secrets in it, so once the unknown ruins are discovered, the Magic Association will immediately send people to isolate them, and strictly prohibit any non-professionals from entering to avoid accidents."

His words stunned Reiner, as if he were saying that the ruins of Elliot's half-plane could also cause the half-plane to collapse, which was terrifying.

"Rest assured, the ruins here shouldn't be in such a situation, the legendary mage is present, even if it does collapse, we will have time to escape."

Lord Penzance patted Reiner on the shoulder, as if what he had just said was nothing more than a joke that was not funny.

"Uh, okay."

At least he was quite confident in his escape, and Reiner could only comfort himself with this.
