The darkness that was approaching began to spread inside and outside the game world as more and more dark clouds appeared, gradually pressing towards the man named Duan Qing, and he seemed to be in the center of the vortex still like an unaware outsider, constantly running towards the center of the underground pipe network. After passing through one intricate passage after another, and turning a few corners that made strange humming sounds, he never stopped under his feet, and then broke through the boundaries of the adventurer's map and came to a place he had never been before: "...... This is it, right? ”

"This should be it."

Jin, who had also been running in front of him, turned around to reveal his gorgeous gold-rimmed robes: "The torrent of magic is converging here, and the center point is in front of us, but ...... As it stands, there is no normal way to get there. ”

"There is no normal pathway...... Right? So Duan Qing frowned and looked at the wall in front of him: "That is to say...... We're going to have to break down this wall, right? ”

"The power of the Void is coming back, and it's a great risk." Jin replied in a low voice, "If you are not careful, you will be swept into turbulence......

"We don't have much to hesitate about now."

Reaching out and touching the wall in front of him, Duan Qing turned around and looked at the disheveled woman with a haggard face who had been following him: "The only thing to worry about is her. ”

“…… If you know what's at stake, why did you bring her with you? ”

"I've left her behind for too long, and that's why...... I don't want to draw too much attention to it. ”

Pointing to the distance of the passage behind him, Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "I thought that the less contact she had with people, the safer it would be, so I didn't dare to take her out, but in the end...... She still couldn't escape the surveillance. ”

“…… Is it? Frowning slightly, Kim focused his scrutinizing gaze on the woman named Ayina for the first time: "Who is she?" ”

"I don't dare to say the exact circumstances yet, because that would require further evidence."

Shaking his head, Duan Qing pressed his hands to the surface of the wall: "But since the target has been exposed, there is no need to continue to leave her alone." ”

“…… It may be a long road. So Jin took his scrutinizing gaze away from the woman who was huddled behind Duan Qing with her arms crossed: "I don't dare to guarantee her safety." ”

"It's okay." Duan Qing closed his eyes: "I believe in you." ”

“…… Hum. ”

With a cold snort forced, the burly archmage swept the wide cloak behind him: "Don't think I'm going to help too much because of your compliments, the current situation is ......"

"I don't have too much power to allocate to you."

A loud bombardment then appeared in front of Duan Qing and Jin, and the scene of the thick wall being smashed into pieces by a huge force appeared in the dim light and shadow of the passage, and the purple-black aura unique to the void was then accompanied by a familiar cosmic scene, and appeared in front of Duan Qing again. Stretching out his head and looking into the depths of the void in front of him, Duan Qing then made a few comforting gestures to the followers behind him who were a little surprised by fear, and then carefully compared his adventurer map while gesturing towards Jin's location: "You please first." ”

“…… Do not leave my protective distance. ”

A brilliant golden glow then shrouded the two of them, stretching outward for a while before gradually stopping: "This is the Earth Elemental Guardian, using the power of the earth to isolate the influence of the power of non-earth elements on the range, although the strength is not as strong as the Elemental Domain, but it should be enough to use here." ”

"Thank you for your selfless help."

Bowing in the direction where the other party was, Duan Qing then nodded towards Aiina: "Follow me." ”

“……”

With a look of trust in her eyes, the woman with her arms clasped in her arms responded with the same nod, and then, after a period of hard struggle, threw her body into the void of the universe behind the cracked wall. The feeling of losing gravity then hit her heart along with the endless cold, and then slowly disappeared under the shroud of the golden light that suddenly appeared on her side, and then Jin, who arrived later, glanced at her with condescending eyes, and then whispered to Duan Qing in front of her: "Left front, where the star is." ”

“…… If you hadn't reminded me of that, I would have thought it was a star. ”

"It's not uncommon for the void to be filled with chaos."

Still flying forward, the golden face reminded, "Don't be fooled by what you see on the surface, adventurer. ”

“…… Maggie and I had been together once. Duan Qing shook his head indifferently: "Even if I can't find these deceptive illusions, I will ......be able to find them sooner or later."

Whew-

Like a huge nebula that suddenly generated in the void of the universe, a storm of energy that seemed to be enough to cover the entire world then suddenly appeared above the space in front of Duan Qing, and then endless purple-black energy washed away from their front to the direction under their feet like a waterfall that could extend to the end of the world. Wisps of energy surged out from the surface of the waterfall that had no end in sight, and landed on the incomparably small golden light mask like a mischievous elf, and then shook the surface of the earth elemental guard again and again in a huge tremor: "It's the void turbulence!" Come on! ”

"Void turbulence on such a scale? It's just that the sky is falling, and there is wood? ”

"It's all said that Zaraha City has been in a state of instability! Not to mention the present...... Come on! The energy that escapes is enough to kill all of us! ”

"I can't help it! The exit has been flooded! ”

The tiny shroud of light, which was completely incomparable to the purple-black waterfall that filled half the universe, trembled in the face of the huge attraction, and finally disappeared into it like an innocent meteorite being dragged in, but the golden light, which had already become extremely dim, suddenly lit up for a moment before it submerged into the seemingly endless void turbulence, opening a gap that reflected the scene of the real world. The figures belonging to Duan Qing and Aiina then tumbled and fell out of the other side of the underground pipe network of Zaraha City, followed by the burly body of the earth archmage whose cloak and robe had been torn through the wall, and his face was still as solid as a rock, and then he calmly turned around, and sealed the hole behind him that still emitted a huge roar with rock magic: "...... Call. ”

"Me, we actually came through?" Duan Qing, who was lying on the ground, stood up panting, and at the same time hugged Aiina's body that was trembling: "You, how did you do it?" ”

"The so-called chaotic energy is actually formed by the mixing of countless disorderless elements."

Jin, who seemed to have calmed down his mood and breath, turned his body and replied in an indifferent tone: "I only need to use the earth element guardian to filter out the energy I need, and the energy used to support me to open the exit will be stable enough......"

"I still don't understand what you're talking about, but it sounds powerful." Patting his followers on the back vigorously, Duan Qing said in a sighing voice, "I can still filter out the energy I need under such circumstances...... He deserves to be a great magician. ”

“…… Don't say anything superfluous. As if he was not used to being praised like this by others, Jin, who waved his hand, took the lead in walking towards the front of the passage that returned to him: "Hurry up." ”

"We've reached our destination."

In his direction, a vaulted hall surrounded by rubble and walls gradually appeared at the end of the passage, and the ancient carvings and patterns had not been worn away by the collapse of the scene with time, but still reflected on the eerie and mysterious wall. After carefully observing the traces of those patterns and carvings, Duan Qing's brows furrowed more and more tightly behind him, and he took Aiina's hands and then stepped out of the exit of the passage, and set his eyes on the other similar entrances and exits around this rotunda: "...... That's the place you're talking about? ”

“…… That's right, this is it. Jin, who was walking in front, also stopped his steps: "A place that has never been mentioned in countless records and maps of Zalaha City, the center of Zaraha City's underground pipe network. ”

"Was it deliberately concealed by the ancients?" Duan Qing also lifted his chin: "In order to camouflage the location of this place? ”

"No, just look around."

Pointing to the passages that led in all directions, Jin replied in a low voice, "Whatever the purpose of this place, the people who designed it and its users must have been in and out of the way this place is here, and the reason why it has become what it is today must be ......"

"It's probably the magical structure."

In a strange downward gesture, he turned around and gestured towards the position where Duan Qing had just walked: "The flow of magic lost control after this city was abandoned, and finally formed a void and void, and the turbulence that gathered here then continued to condense along their paths, changing the original terrain here. ”

"The walls of the passages we saw before didn't have these iconic signs and carvings at all." He pointed to the patterns around the hall: "So...... The current underground pipe network must have been formed later. ”

"Void Turbulence...... Able to solidify walls? So Duan Qing's eyes widened involuntarily: "Are they still capable of being known for their chaos?" ”

"The more places the water flows, the more streams and rivers will form." Jin replied unconcernedly, "What's more, it's a tributary of the Void that contains all kinds of magical energy, and it contains a lot more foreign matter than you think. ”

“…… While this may explain why breaking down those walls allows you to enter the Void, the passages are too neat, right? Duan Qing still couldn't believe his ears: "Judging from the appearance, I can't see any natural traces at all." ”

"Even after the establishment of the principality, the city of Zaraha has been in the desert for hundreds of years."

Slowly walking towards the center of this hall, Jin explained in a low voice, "And after Frey the Great conquered the city, she didn't leave much energy here......"

"We have reason to believe that someone has occupied this place in the past during that vacuum." He bowed his head with a deep groan: "And this place has been slightly transformed." ”

"Someone who can use the power of the void as energy...... It's just those people. Duan Qing's originally clear eyes gradually sank: "What do they want to do with this place?" ”

"This is something that the Mage Council has been investigating for some time."

Slowly squatting down, Jin's big fan-like hands then pressed on the ground in the center of the relic hall: "And now......"

"Everything will be answered in a moment."

The subtle energy then poured into the floor of the hall along the hands, making a humming sound much lighter than the distant void storm, but the light that belonged to the magic device gradually spread along the carvings and patterns around the hall with the appearance of this energy. Looking vigilantly at the surrounding circular walls that were emitting the sound of rising energy, Duan Qing once again protected Aiina who ran over to hide, and then gradually transformed into a surprised gaze, landing on the surface of those walls that were constantly flashing with strange magic symbols: "This is ......"

"Ancient Magic Emperor Chinese." Jin Yan replied succinctly: "It is described above...... Some parameters. ”

"Parameters?"

"Records, to be exact."

His eyes kept moving, and there began to fluctuate a little in Kim's voice: "On January 25, 967 in the Phoenix calendar, the city of Zaraha was finally attacked by the rebels, and the current situation of the empire is precarious, and there are no extra troops to use......"

"I guess this empire must not be the empire it is now." Duan Qing, who was also looking at those unknown words, sighed and opened his mouth wide: "This rebel army ...... Nor is it the rebel as we know it now. ”

“…… That's right. Kim's gaze did not drift for half a minute: "On January 28th, the war lasted for three days, Lord Herrodes was killed, and we had to summon Metatron...... Who? ”

"Ah, it's me."

Without having time to deal with the few informative words he had just heard, Duan Qing, who was protecting Aiina, hurriedly turned around, and then brought the figure of a player standing at the end of the passage who was being stopped by Jin into the scope of his sudden alert.
