All eyes were on Reiner, and it was now clear that Saxony and Penzance were more inclined to stay put, while Newington believed that the status quo would only lead to passivity, and as for Lord Alberton, no one could see what he was thinking, and Reiner's opinion was a little subtle.

He felt the gaze of the others, pretended to think for a moment, and then replied.

"I think it's better to wait for the arrival of other legendary mages."

As soon as Reiner's words were spoken, Penzance glanced at Newington with some amusement, not knowing what he was muttering.

"In that case, let's wait here for the time being."

His Excellency Alberton had no objection and put an end to the discussion.

Of course, Reiner would not choose to take risks, he himself came to participate in this expedition because of the forced invitation of His Excellency Alberton, it is best to be able to gain something, if he does not gain something, at least he cannot lose money.

With a legendary mage in charge, it was safe and secure to stay at least, and Reiner naturally chose the safest option, even if it seemed a little too cautious.

Only when you are alive can you have an output!

And according to the routine in horror movies, as long as you are restless and want to go out to do things, it generally doesn't end well!

As terrifying as the Black Mist Storm outside looks, as long as Lord Alberton's barrier remains, there's nothing to worry about.

The only concern was the figure he had seen before, and he didn't know how much the mutation of the storm had to do with him.

After confirming the situation, Lord Alberton gathered all those who were still alive and gathered them in the chamber to try not to act alone.

Newington wasn't too disappointed, and sat alone, parchment flying around him, as if calculating something.

"Reiner, I didn't expect you to be so steady."

Saxon brewed a cup of coffee, held it in his hand, and accosted Reiner.

"I thought a young mage like you would be a little more aggressive, but in fact, you may have noticed that Lord Alberton is also more inclined to explore."

"It is precisely because of youth that we need to be in awe more, you know, weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is."

Reiner smiled, he didn't expect to be praised as a coward, if he also had the strength of His Excellency Alberton, I am afraid he would also be tempted to explore.

However, to his surprise, Lord Alberton really wanted to explore alone, although Reiner was vaguely aware, but he was not too sure, and now after Saxony said this, he was able to confirm what he had just thought.

I'm afraid that Lord Alberton himself wants to explore the ruins first, but because of the choices of the others present, he will follow the opinions of the majority, and it can also be seen from here that after being promoted to Legendary, Lord Alberton has changed a lot, you must know that this is a genius who dares to debate head-to-head with mages who are higher than himself in the High Council, and this level of danger is not enough to stop him.

And after being in a high position, his decisions will affect the life and death of more people, and he will naturally become more cautious.

"Arrogant...... Indeed, the reason why the ancient magic empire fell was because of the arrogance of the ancient mages. ”

Saxon chewed on what Reiner said repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he suddenly had a little more praise for this young junior.

"The only problem now is the unknown people in the ruins, and if the sudden expansion of this storm has anything to do with the other side, then we are indeed in an extremely dangerous environment right now."

Reiner said again, although there will not be the kind of bridge where one person is one less person if he is not careful, but the thought of such an unidentified and powerful existence in the storm outside is terrifying.

This matter is currently known only to the High Mages, and Lord Alberton does not want to increase the unwarranted panic among the people.

In a closed environment, people's perception of time will also become different, and a long day has finally passed, but in the eyes of mid-level mages, this day is as long as a whole year.

Reiner continued to analyze the samples obtained, attempting to capture unnoticed information from the ruins.

He found that the radioactive rocks that he had roughly tested were concentrated in a single interval rather than evenly distributed, and that such changes were usually caused by the extremely high purity of the magic that eroded the rocks.

But that's not the same as it was previously envisaged.

Originally, everyone thought that the ruins were uncontrollable and uncontrollable frenzied magic after years of changes, which was the direct cause of this black fog storm.

However, the higher the purity of the magic power, the more stable its properties tend to be, and the standard magic stone is a kind of magic crystallization with extremely high purity, which can be used in daily life without worrying about its rampage, and the purity of the magic power that can cause these rocks to appear so radioactive is much higher than that of ordinary magic stones.

In other words, these magic powers should have been extremely peaceful and not easy to destruct.

But now, the black fog storm that ravaged the entire Elliot half-plane was clearly caused by magic.

There's bound to be a problem.

Reiner did the math again and again to make sure that his conclusion was correct, and then found Lord Alberton.

Lord Alberton was discussing with Saxony what to do about the moment, and when he saw Reiner, he stopped the discussion and began to listen to Reiner.

Reiner briefly recounted his findings, hoping to get some ideas from the legendary mage.

"You mean, the magic that caused the radioactivity in the rocks around the ruins is not the same as the magic that caused this storm of black fog?"

Saxony was a little surprised, if this was true, then where did the magic that caused this storm of black fog come from?

Contacting the unidentified figure in the ruins, it was easy to think that the other party had caused this storm of black fog to block people from the outside world from entering the ruins.

"Yes, Lord Alberton originally thought that it was a storm caused by the leakage of magic in the ruins, and this frenzied storm did match the characteristics of chaotic magic, so we didn't care, but now it seems that it was all planned."

"Indeed, in terms of intensity, this black fog storm is indeed a little weaker than the seven-thousand-year-old ruins, and it seems that I was deceived by my own feelings."

Lord Alberton bowed, this was indeed something he had not noticed.

"Reiner, you've done a good job, it's almost certain that this storm was a barrier created by someone to keep others out of the ruins, so it's not surprising that the unknown figure could easily navigate the storm."

Realizing this, Reiner quickly had an idea.

"I think we can try to explore the ruins."
