Chapter 228: Into the Ruins
Truth be told, Zoe's disappearance didn't have much of an impact on Rhodes' team.
Although Rhodes knew that Zoe was very powerful, he never put Zoe in his plans.
When faced with a difficult situation, the uncontrollable elements are far more terrible than the negative conditions.
Frankly speaking, in Rod's core plan, Zoe was originally a guy who "doesn't matter if she is there or not".
Although Zoe is not hostile, and says that Rod smells good - but Rod still can't let go of this little Lori.
It's okay to go!
Rod touched his chin and pulled out the magic table again.
After a short period of repair, Rhodes and his party finally came to the center of the Fuguang Island ruins.
Different from the previous outpost area, after the black fog dissipated a little bit, what appeared in front of Rhodes and the others was a neat and tidy city.
And unlike the previous mage towers, this former city ...... At least it looks very pleasing to the eye.
Even obsessive-compulsive disorder such as Rhodes, he also had to admit that the city looked at the ruins and was once a great city.
A large number of ancient buildings appeared and disappeared in the dark mist, and Rhodes and his party approached vigilantly, and only after confirming their safety did they begin to carefully examine these buildings.
The city has no walls β but along the edges of the entire site, Rhodes found traces of a large mage tower.
These mage towers weren't the kind of junk he'd seen beforeβeach of these big guys was over twenty meters tall, and although it had been a long time since they had been used, Rhodes still didn't dare to enter rashly.
That's right, even though hundreds of years have passed, these mage towers are still not completely destroyed, and Rhodes does not dare to guarantee his safety if he enters rashly.
And judging from some of the characteristics of these mage towers...... These big guys are the heart of the entire defense of Fuguang Island!
Giant runes and prisms occasionally flash with a flash of light, proving that their abilities are still not exhausted.
This kind of stuff is the trickiest.
Although Rhodes dares to guarantee that there is definitely a lot of magical heritage of the past generation in this tower, it is a pity that now is not the time to explore.
On the one hand, there is too late time - it is hard to let Mordecaesar blow himself up, and it is a bit stupid not to take the opportunity to push it flat in a wave and wait for Mordecaesar to recover.
And on the other hand...... Rhodes really didn't dare to guarantee whether the defense mechanism still existed, whether it was still in the hands of Maude Caesar, and if the latter was established, I am afraid that Rhodes would fall into the net.
In a cautious consideration, Rod could only look at it with a blank eye, and then turned to leave.
The area where Rhodes can explore is in the interior of the city.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Fukuko Island was once inhabited.
So when Rhodes cautiously walked into the city, he found a large number of residential areas β and a few small commercial areas.
These areas are not attractive to Rhodes.
Rhodes was, after all, a mage rather than an expert in folklore, and for Rhodes it was important to understand how people lived in the last Age of Magic...... It really doesn't mean much.
Rhodes is more concerned with buildings that look huge in size.
Look at the stands, those large buildings...... It's probably a laboratory or a library, a treasure gallery or something like that.
Interestingly, as Zherod got closer to the heart of the city, the buildings grew taller.
Seeing that he seemed to have touched a certain doorway, Rode's heart was full of excitement at this moment.
However, Rhodes did not go directly to a prominent building to find out if there were any traces of magic or traces left.
That's right, even in the face of these big guys who "don't seem to have special defenses", Rhodes is full of vigilance.
Then Rod's vigilance paid off.
Rhodes was taking a closer look at the shape of the huge building β and then, just as everyone else was paying attention, the building and Rhodes "moved together."
That's right, these buildings seemed to be aware of the existence of Rhodes and the others, and launched a surprise attack on Rhodes and his party as if they had come to life.
The window of the building suddenly opened and bit Rhodes like a big mouth, and the fence slammed into Rhodes like a whip.
In the face of a sudden attack, Rod performed flawlessly.
Between then, Rhodes subconsciously activated the power of the Safron's flames, and a large area of flames began to burn under the twisted stance.
And with the help of the Suffron flame, Rhodes came and went freely and left the battlefield for the first time.
These buildings also seem to have "limited energy", and they will only strike once the Rhodes are close enough to do so.
The revitalization of the building is already taking place.
Rhodes, on the other hand, took a closer look at the target and led the group into an unanimated building.
Rhodes chose this place because the interior of this huge building, which looks like a library, has not yet been revitalized.
Yes, it looks like the library hasn't finished its final revitalization work β and inside the building, there aren't a single book.
"What should I do?" Glancing at the building outside through the window, Lucian frowned, "I've never seen a city so full of negative energy...... Damn, these buildings are alive! β
"Misnomer." Rhodes corrected Lucian's mistake, "The 'resurrection' of these buildings is just a small means, and there is a world of difference between activation magic and necromancy. β
"You're saying that this is something left behind by the people of Fuguang Island, and the target of this activation is not us?"
"That's right." Rod looked at the confused Lucian with a smile, "And my speculation is completely contrary to yours, it seems to me that these buildings are actually rebelling." β
"Resist what?" Lucian obviously didn't understand what Rod meant, "Are you trying to say that these big guys are actually on our side?" β
"That's right!" Rod snapped his fingers happily, "Yorick, I'm not wrong, am I?" β
"It's ...... Accurate. Yorick's voice was still slow and hoarse, "Here it is...... Fuguang City, once ...... The center of Fuguang Island - also those bastardsββ...... A place that has always been entrenched. β
Lucian was dumbfounded.
"I ...... Some ...... activated though. Things that belong to Fukuko Island...... Nothing more. β
"But, as far as I know, Hammerstone was once a member of your Order, right? Do you have the confidence to wrest control from him? β
"Of course...... I'm a mourner, a gravedigger! β
Yorick raised the shovel in his hand and smiled extremely reluctantly.
