Act 406. Elliot Halfplane
As soon as the two of them got off the floating boat, they saw a black cloud in front of them.
The vast plains are full of greenery, but directly in front of the vision, a thick haze covers the sky, and clouds of deep black wind and sand sweep through, as if they are about to swallow the world.
If you look down from mid-air, you can see that in the middle of the endless field, the black wind obscures the sky, like a bottomless whirlpool in a green ocean, swallowing everything around it.
"This was originally a good place to raise cattle and sheep, with abundant water and soil, but unfortunately, since about a year ago, the influence of the ruins has become stronger and stronger, reaching its peak in the last half a year, and there is not only sand and gravel in that black storm, but also the turbulence of magical power, which is enough to swallow most of the middle and low-level mages."
Waiting for them on the small tarmac was William. Saxony, the High Mage of the Eight Rings, whose most famous achievement is the collaboration with Isaris. Lord Alberton founded calculus at about the same time, but at that time, Saxony was already a member of the High Council, and Lord Alberton was only a fledgling intermediate mage.
"Your Excellency Saxony, there shouldn't be any other unrelated people in this half-plane right now, right?"
Penzance asked casually as he looked around.
"All the natives have moved away, and now there are only people related to the Magic Association."
Leading the way, Saxony explained.
"Originally, there was only a small desert in the middle, according to historical records, it only occupied about one-twentieth of the land three hundred years ago, and there has been no expansion until a year ago, when a storm suddenly broke out here, and the desert gradually expanded, which attracted the attention of the Magic Association, and after exploration, a deeply hidden ruin was discovered."
The three of them came to a town that seemed to be where the herdsmen used to live, but now that the buildings were empty, the huge town was silent, and it was even more eerie and terrifying in contrast to the rumbling storm in the distance.
They walked into the building that had been the town council chamber, where the mages who had arrived earlier were already seated at the round table in the council chamber.
Naturally, in the middle of the expedition was the host of the expedition, the legendary mage Isaris. Alberton, with a few pieces of parchment in his hand, had a solemn expression and seemed to be lost in thought.
Next to Lord Alberton is the Elemental Master, Surrey. Newington, who had been reading the parchment, looked up slightly when he saw someone come in, but was stunned when he saw Penzance next to Saxony.
After a few seconds, he lowered his head hesitantly, seemingly continuing to read, but he was already absent-minded.
At the same time, Lord Penzance glanced at the former student of his own, and he wavered, and then looked at Lord Alberton, as if he did not understand why he had summoned himself to Newington.
Anyone knows that Newington was once a student of Penzance, but the two were unable to reconcile their disagreements on the nature of light, and eventually broke up, and Newington also broke away from the mercury scales and joined the Elemental Storm Council, and for so many years, they did not have a word of communication.
Even after Reiner proved the wave-particle duality of light, the relationship between the two did not ease much, after all, Newington's departure from the mercury balance was too bad in Penzance's opinion, and Newington could not leave the Storm Council and return to the mercury balance now.
In most cases, even other high-ranking mages would try to avoid letting the two of them get close to each other, but for some reason, Lord Alberton had summoned the two of them so unabashedly.
Including Reiner, there are four high-level mages, and a legendary mage, from Reiner's point of view, this ruins exploration team can already be said to be extremely luxurious.
"You're here, sit down first."
Lord Alberton came back from his thoughts, looked at Reiner and Penzance, who had just arrived, and motioned for them to take their seats.
When Reiner was seated, Lord Alberton waved his hand, and several pieces of parchment flew in front of Reiner and Penzance.
"This is the current investigation report on the ruins, which I have named Breath of the Wild."
The naming of the ruins is decided by the mage who presides over the investigation, and the historical relics are generally called by their original names, and these unknown ruins are mostly decided according to their characteristics or the core of the ruins.
For example, the storm-ravaged half-plane mentioned by Penzance was called the Heart of the Storm, and the magic items at its core were eventually extracted as the main component of the Storm Council's defensive magic, the top of the whirling clouds.
Reiner nodded, picked up the parchment, and began to read it carefully.
At the beginning, it was about this half-plane, and it can be seen that this half-plane has hardly experienced war, and it used to be the territory of a legendary mage of the ancient magic empire, but the lord seems to have forgotten about this place for a long time, only the herders depend on animal husbandry for their livelihood, and the desert in the middle of the half-plane has always existed, and there was nothing in the past, and until recently, no ruins have been discovered.
As for the reason for the appearance of the ruins, it is also a coincidence, a year ago, a group of people came to the Elliot half-plane, they were originally a certain chamber of commerce in order to explore the ore veins in various half-planes of the mining team, this group of people came to the desert of the Elliot half-plane, accidentally triggered the protection mechanism of the ruins, all the unlucky guys were killed, and this ruins also surfaced.
Such examples are not uncommon, many ruins already have strong defenses and concealment abilities, which has kept them undiscovered for many years, but over time, some concealment spells gradually become ineffective, which makes these relics that have been hidden for many years appear in people's sight.
Continuing to look down, Reiner began to read about what had been known about the ruin.
Surrounding the ruins was a powerful storm of sand and gravel and a turbulent flow of magical power, creating a barrier that rendered most probe spells ineffective, making it difficult to predict the dangers of even legendary mage-level astrology.
Lord Alberton had been in the center of the storm alone, but for security reasons, he did not go too far, and he recorded what he had seen and recounted on parchment.
The center of the storm is a well-preserved building, barely destructible, with a hemispherical shape above the entire building, about five stories high, and no living creatures around the building, but there is a strong magical barrier, and from the outside, it is impossible to tell the purpose of this building.
It's just that Lord Alberton felt a strong primordial magic stirring from the building, and just a slight leak was enough to set off this frenzied storm.
