Cain stood by the well and looked down. The rocks here seem to be ...... Something is cut apart, and it is cut off on a large scale. Even the main guns of the fleet's fly-fire battleships could not take a part of the planet with such precision.

And where did the removed substance go? Utterly destroyed?

"Down there," Najuri said.

Cain began to climb downward, and the inner wall of the shaft was covered with a ring of rough horizons. If you put it in, it seems to be a trace of extremely high heat. The exposed rock is a smooth pink color, smooth like a polished gemstone. But a layer of dust fell on all the upper surfaces. The cutting here must have been a long time ago, maybe even a thousand years. For some reason, it occurred to Cain that a piece of incandescent metal had fallen to the surface of the glacier, melting all the way downward, and the side walls were rapidly frozen.

But what melts rocks?

He climbed down as he scanned the interactive panel for clues. Nakuri, who was following behind Kai Incognito, clearly heard the sound of him gasping.

"I know, surprised, right?" He said.

"Are all these numbers accurate?" Kai Yin muttered.

"Looks like so."

"It's not ...... Here," Cain said, letting the interactive panel rescan.

"Not really."

"It's like...... Cain is hard to describe. The quantum trail here is very strange. It seems that through another reality, another spatial dimension, there is a brief intersection with the mountain of Ionan, completely negating it, and then leaving this void like a wound. ”

The alternative substance that caused this wound is still scattered here with abundant residues.

"You now understand why I need a cardinal general, right?" Nagiuri asked.

Cain didn't answer. He's speculating. Is this the result of cross-space collisions? Some kind of quantum anomaly? Was it intentional or just accidental? These phenomena once existed only in theory, or as a catastrophic result of the failure of the flying engine. This may be conclusive evidence for a system of multiverse theory......

Nagiuri's decision was the right one. This is indeed the job of the cardinal general, and Cain's already high position will be accentuated by this. This is a groundbreaking discovery. This would make him the most famous man in the Demacian Empire. Undoubtedly, this feat is enough to say that a person is pushed to the highest point.

Cain paused. He was stunned by his own thoughts. The work here is not yet done, this is the duty of the cardinal general. Evaluate, analyze, think, gather everything for the benefit of the empire.

A new thought came into his mind, a hot thought that made him very uneasy. He knew he should consult with Najuri and plan the process of the investigation together.

But he didn't want to. He wanted to keep the discovery for himself. He didn't want anyone to follow suit, not even Najuri. No one else is eligible—

Cain paused again. No wonder other people are here. Syndicate, Holy Messenger. It's an amazing treasure. Merely......

“…… How did they know? Cain asked.

"What?"

"I'm here because you called me. You're here because you're chasing the Messenger. So why did the Holy Envoy come here? ”

"They've heard about it too...... Najuri said tentatively.

"Who's going to say that?"

"They use secret taboo stories to communicate, and it's all nonsense. There may be some legends or myths or ...... I don't know, treasure map? ”

Cain couldn't believe that anyone, whoever found out about this, would take advantage of it as soon as they could. Use the data here, and the information it represents. It was supposed to be a sanctuary, a temple, or a culture to be generated around it, or a person to be emperor...... Or even simply the cornerstone of a new empire.

No. Nobody knows here. The Holy Messenger has come here...... Just gut feeling.

"What about the Syndicate?" He asked Najuri.

"What's wrong with the Syndicate?"

Zago knew beforehand, Cain thought. The abominable gambler didn't know that the Holy Messenger was here. That's what he's here for, and he's paranoid and obsessed with it, risking everything - even daring to confront the more powerful Imperial fighting forces for it.

And he came here because something summoned him. Walk through the empty cosmic space and summon him.

Kai Cain felt his skin sticky and wet. He jumped the last few meters, and his uneasiness intensified. There was something at the bottom of the pit that seemed to merge with the bedrock.

"This ......"

"We think that's what it did." Nagiuri said. "It seems like it fell here and then made this hole."

His voice grew quieter.

"Did you touch it?" Cain asked.

"No, sir. None of us touched it. No one has that guts. ”

Kai Cain crouched down. It was embedded in the grayish matrix rock like a dark fossilized skeleton - like some extremely old fossil now exposed to sunlight. He could see the long, narrow and graceful grip, slightly curved. A huge blade. Both the grip and blade are forged from some sort of dark metal element unrecognizable by the interactive panel, and are just the right size for the hands of humanoids.

It's a scythe. A weapon of war. A masterpiece that does not exist in any civilization.

Cain wondered how something could be so beautiful and so ugly at the same time.

He heard a low snicker. "What?" He asked, looking at Najuri.

"I didn't say anything," Nagiuri replied.

Cain tried his interactive panel, but nothing came to a damn.

"We're too deep," Najuri said. "There's something here that's getting in the way of communication."

"Go back to it," Cain said. "Signal the Shredding Scissors. I want a research team, equipped with a full set of monitoring equipment. Let them come down in two hours. We're going to take this place apart bit by bit and take away every bit of information. ”

Najuri nodded, but he didn't leave. "You've changed," he said.

"What do you mean?"

"You are now a cardinal general. Your tone—"

Cain snorted. "I don't have time to say that," he said.

"What is the gorgeous duel with the syndicate just now? I lost four people. Four people who didn't need to die. It's all about showing off for you. ”

"The situation just now was delicate."

"We should have called the main ship at that time. Just wipe them out. But you have to be a showman. Sir. ”

"We got the results we needed," Cain said.

"Four dead."

"Commander, go call the main ship. I'll say it one last time. ”

Nagiuri hesitated. "I called you here because...... God, I called you here because I know it's not for me. Above my rank. I thought of you. I think you should know how to do it. You should be eligible. ”

"Eligible?"

"Qualify for this treasure! I mean, who am I? I don't have that qualifications......" he looked at Cain. "But I thought you were qualified. I thought I was doing my duty to the empire and being responsible to my friends. But now I see you. See who you are. See the changes in you. ”

Speak disrespectfully and kill him.

Cain looked around. Who said what.

"Anyone else?" He whispered.

"What?" Nakuri asked angrily.

"Commander, have you placed guards underneath?"

"Nope."

"Who spoke just now?"

"No one is talking!" Najuri snapped. "What's wrong with you? I don't think I know you anymore. ”

"Go and contact the main ship. Hold on. Then come back and report back to me. ”

Nagiuri glared at him, then turned and climbed up. Cain was still crouching above the weapon embedded in the stone.

"You said that, right?" He asked.

Do you still need to ask. I called. Someone heard. Someone came. I'm only interested in people who are qualified.

"People are always asking for qualifications. Who is eligible? What are the qualifications? ”

Get my qualification. When someone proves themselves, I know if I'm qualified. Maybe that person is you.
