Supporting each other to climb over the last rock, turning over a few magic patterns on the ground, Duan Qing, who led the way in the forefront, first cleared the layers of fog and saw the scene after that. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Of course, Duan Qing himself didn't have such a great ability, and those fogs suddenly dissipated on their own after they had been along the road for a while.

As if separated by a glass cover, all the clouds were kept out of an arc, constantly circulating as far as the eye could see.

"Is this the end?"

"I guess so...... How else do you explain this scene? ”

The scene Duan Qing was referring to was not the layer of fog that lingered outside the unknown range, but the ...... in front of them A ruin-like scene that gradually appears.

The broken steps, the fallen stone pillars, the half-collapsed wall, suddenly appeared in front of them through the fog, and these obviously man-made structures spread forward with their vision, and then along a slope to the top of the hill above, around the fog that they could see, forming a dilapidated architectural image like an opera house. The massive cylindrical building stood silently above where they were, sandwiched between some escaping mist, weaving like silk threads from all directions of the circle—the ruins had fallen in half, and only a circular ruin remained.

But the few people present still did not dare to approach easily, because the carvings that accompanied them all the way still stretched along their feet, left and right, and even in all directions, towards the ruins.

"It's better to say...... This is where those patterns come from. ”

Duan Qing, who was still at the forefront, shook his head and said the first words they had said after a while.

"Be careful." The woman in the black cloak tightened the hilt of the sword in her hand and looked at the details around her: "There may be more mechanisms here. ”

"The fog is gone, I want to ...... There should be no illusions here. Duan Qing shook his head: "So what we see should be true, here...... There may not be those criss-crossing grids anymore. ”

"But these things on the ground still don't dare to touch!" Nan Tieshan's eyes froze, as if he was facing a great enemy: "God knows what it looks like in there, if you accidentally cause something, hum ......"

"I guess it's not as simple as being teleported back."

"It's been so hard to hold on until now, and of course we can't just be sent back." After carefully inspecting the steps on the ground, Duan Qing slowly stood up: "But what I'm worried about is ...... If something goes wrong with the core of that ruin......"

He gestured with his hand at the magic patterns around him: "These things...... Will it just go away? ”

"You mean to ......" Xue Lingphantom Ice glanced at the other party, "This is the magic circle that fixes the clouds and mist?" ”

"Circles, enchantments, fixtures...... Whatever it's called, we've ruined this place anyway, this fog behind us...... Maybe it will disappear. Duan Qing raised his head: "Anyway, we came here along the road, and there is no way to continue upward, so ......"

"This is the top of the mountain, this is the center, it's ...... There is nothing else to explain. ”

Thinking that this place might be the legendary mountain top, the hearts of the players present couldn't help but get excited, only Art looked at this ruin-like place a little blankly, and muttered, "Here...... Is it a holy place? ”

"Holy Land?"

Duan Qing pressed his chin and thought, "It's not impossible...... Let's go in and make sure. ”

Walking along the broken steps, which were only a few dozen steps, carefully avoiding the lines under their feet, the four of them climbed the last bit of height without much effort, and walked to the side of the circle of walls. The tall and dilapidated walls, the unknown patterns carved into the walls, and the rubble that had collapsed to the ground with columns and columns, brought the atmosphere of antiquity and vicissitudes to everyone, and it was not until they got close that they realized the height of the wall in their own contrast.

"Whenever in this tour...... When I find ruins in this world, I always feel this sense of insignificance. Nan Tieshan, who was closer, stretched out his hand and touched the black wall, and said with some emotion: "Although it is very unpleasant, but ...... I also have to admire them. ”

"The mystery of ancient civilizations is the same everywhere." Duan Qing reached out and picked up a piece of gravel: "It's just as attractive...... But is the material of the stone here the same as the ones we have touched below? ”

"Maybe, maybe it's some kind of strange material, the kind that has a good relationship with magic, and maybe it can be sold for a lot of money......"

"Are you sure anyone wants this thing? They don't know if they'll be able to figure out how to use it, even if the great magicians come......"

"No, no, no, I think the key to the problem is whether these stones can be used as materials, no matter how you look at them, these are ordinary stones......"

"You, you...... Look here. ”

While everyone was arguing around the gravel by the wall, the only young Norsr in the group, who didn't feel anything about money, pointed to a gap in the wall and said, "There's something here......"

"What's that?" The other three people glanced at each other, and finally Duan Qing took the lead and walked over: "Cracks?" It's all collapsed over there, a crack is something, let's enter through the main entrance in a while, don't worry about it for now......"

"No, it's not ......," said the young man, somewhat resignedly, "I mean...... That thing. ”

"Huh?"

Duan Qing froze for a moment, and then realized that Yate was not referring to the crack, but to a stone that had fallen next to the crack.

It was not an irregular stone, and although its edges were full of cracks and edges, it was still visible from its flat surface that it had once been part of a polished slate. And this is also what attracted Duan Qing's attention the most at this time, because when he got closer, he found that something seemed to be written on this fragment of what was suspected to be a stone slab.

"What's wrong?" The other two people discovered Duan Qing's anomaly and then came over and asked.

“...... Representative...... Different...... No, it's already ruined. ”

After carefully reading the words on it, Duan Qing finally shook his head: "It's like a message left by ancient ruins." ”

"Well, it's rare that this piece can last so long." The woman examined the surroundings of the slate: "It would be nice to be able to read a few words." ”

"yes, they didn't even do ancient languages."

"Do you think they don't want to? It's just the game...... No, it's just the rules of this world. The woman shook her head and stood up from the ground, then looked up and down: "This slab...... Where was it originally located? ”

The rest of the group looked up with her gaze, and saw the edge of the mist, and high up in the wall, a collapsed pillar buried a platform-like place, and something like a stone pillar was revealed in the middle, towering straight into the upper layer of the mist, reflecting a charming light in the gradually darkening sky.

“...... How do we get up? ”

"There doesn't seem to be a road outside, so it looks like we have to go in first."

"Then hurry up, it seems to be dusk now, and if it's a little later, it is estimated that we will have to spend the night in this ghost place."

"Isn't the day going fast enough, and ...... I think spending the night at the top of Falling Star Mountain seems to be a very good and powerful thing......"

"Are you going to go back and make a post on the Internet and be the first person in the free world?"

"Pay attention to the words, there's Art here!"

Talking to each other, Duan Qing, who was carrying his head, first passed through the crack in the wall made of black stone, and entered the interior of the circular ruins, and the originally somewhat dull light slowly magnified in front of his eyes, and finally turned into a somewhat dazzling white light.

"Sure enough......"

The walls were much thicker than expected, and the interior was much emptier than expected—perhaps because it had collapsed, but the interior of the rotunda was an open-air plaza, and through the light from the sky, a few people could still see the cloud-shrouded sky above. The white mist had become more and more dim with time, but this color still could not hide the white light that was emitting from the middle of the square.

"That's a ...... What's that? ”

"It's probably something like a core, the kind that provides energy. Would you like to go over and have a look? ”

“...... Forget it, it's not a guy who can touch it at first glance. ”

Countless pale white rays of light stretched along the ground to all directions of the white light, like dazzling beautiful ripples, shuttling and scattering in the small square. The pale white color grew brighter and brighter as the distance shrank, but with it came a scorching heat. And through those dazzling white lights, Duan Qing could see the inside of that light source, and there seemed to be an irregular outline inside.

"Maybe it's a device...... "He muttered to himself, dispelling the idea of approaching, as he looked around him where he could go up, "There." ”

Due to the emptiness of the interior, it didn't take much effort for a few people to immediately find the staircase on the second floor, but perhaps because of the age, the staircase coiled inside had also collapsed. However, everyone present could ignore this level of obstacle, except for Art, and they tried casually, and then climbed up with the help of the remnants of the stone stairs. The three players were not idle in the process, on the contrary, their minds became more and more focused, and the reason for their concentration was very simple.

"Anyway, there is no treasure in this place!"

The black-armored man struggled to climb up, and his physical strength had not recovered due to his previous injuries: "This place is also a ruin, why don't you have any good things!" What about treasure chests? What about equipment? What about artifacts? ”

"Wake up, there's nothing so good." The woman in the black cloak ruthlessly struck the other party's greed: "It's good to have some ancient props in the general ruins, how can there be so many good things for you to discover so easily." Although there should not be any adventurers here yet, ......"

"But what?"

"Look around."

Duan Qing, who had already climbed to the second floor of the black wall, overlooking the corner of the entire area, explained: "The surrounding area of this square ...... A bit too clean. ”

"Not only the objects, but also the gravel was left near the corner, and ......," he whispered, "it was kind of like there had been an explosion or something." ”

"And that little white sun is still in the center, that means ......" Xue Lingphantom Ice continued his words, "That thing is the source of the explosion." ”

"Hey, what happened in this place?" Pulling his sturdy body to it with all his might, Nan Tieshan patted the dust on his body, and then said breathlessly: "It has actually become like this, is this place originally an explosion test site...... Hey? ”

He took two steps forward: "What are you looking at?" ”

In front of him, beside Xue Ling's Phantom Ice, the man who had been walking in the front squatted down against a wall beside him, as if he was observing something, and with his words, the woman who had noticed the abnormality also squatted down, looking at the place where Duan Qing was looking: "This is ...... The same slate as just now? ”

"Now it's time to say the wall panels." Duan Qing added: "The one below before is probably ......"

He pointed to the hole in the wall not far away: "These walls are fragments. ”

"People here really like to leave things on the walls." So Nan Tieshan also came over: "What is written on this?" ”

"I'll take a look at ......" Duan Qing's eyes stared at the wall, slowly reciting the words on it.

"Everything has two poles, and all souls have two sides."

A name was left behind: "—Douglas Frista." ”

Several people looked at each other, then at the next wall.

"The elements lead to destruction, and the elements breed eternal life."

"Farrag Leester." Duan Qing's deep voice echoed in everyone's ears: "The two sentences are not left by one person......

"Hmm, are all these people studying Tai Chi?"

"yes, such philosophical words......"

With a few casual comments, they looked down the wall one by one.

"All things will pass away, but the empire will endure. - Arazo Olgat. ”

"We conquered the earth, we conquered the sky, we conquered everything around us, but we did not conquer ourselves. - The Queen of Magic, Jialanka. ”

"Every time fate forces humanity to bow its head, it is a time when the world changes. - Farah. ”

"When you reach the top, the living body feels small. - Summer Zero Style. ”

As they went deeper, more and more character names and quotes jumped into everyone's eyes, and because of the relationship between those sentences, several players felt a certain heaviness from them.

"These people ......" In the end, it was Nan Tieshan who took the lead and said: "They should all be strong." ”

"I don't know, I haven't heard any of these names......" Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice shook their heads at the same time: "They at least ...... They should all be characters from a thousand years ago. ”

"Because the existing history of the Free Continent that players have unearthed is almost blank in the era of the Magic Empire."

"Well, the situation here is really a surprise......"

"yes, but ...... I feel like they're saying it pretty well, and they're very heroic...... Let's go, next sentence. ”

"Hmm, I'll take a look at ......" Duan Qing touched the wall and looked at the next sentence.

"Allow me to pay my respects, for I am now standing among you."

The handwriting was different from the few words engraved before, and although the handwriting looked beautiful, it seemed to have been engraved by a woman, but it exuded an awe-inspiring atmosphere. However, none of them had any doubts about it, because they immediately saw the name left after that sentence.

"-Frey."
