The so-called second flag is the current situation.

As Hela was saying that the ruins' control system was dormant or turned off, the countless lighting runes remaining on the ceiling lit up at the same time, and the soft white light instantly illuminated the entire underground cavity as if it were day, and at first glance it seemed that it was on the surface.

But after all, it has been in disrepair for a long time, and some runes are not lit at all, or they are lit up, but they are flashing, which is a bit of a bad contact.

At the same time, players are receiving prompts from the system.

[You enter the area of effect of the enchantment, and all spatial teleportation within the range cannot be used]

"Didn't you say that the ruins were closed and dormant? Why did it suddenly light up? ”

Ann rubbed her chin with one finger and replied to Beverly's question:

"This shows that there are indeed people from the Imperial Army exploring the ruins, and they have found the energy control room and activated the ruins."

It also means that they don't have much time to waste.

Although the main quest is still 'Explore the Ancient Elven Ruins Beneath the Rose Capital', and does not ask players to stop the Imperial Army, Ann Yizhi estimates that if he can prevent the Imperial Army from obtaining the Elder Elf technology, or simply return to Endymion with useful information, he will get an additional reward.

"There's not much value in continuing to look for this level, and we have to go deeper, hoping to catch up with the Imperial Army."

The progress of the Imperial side was much faster than that of the newcomer An Yizhi, and as far as the eye could see, there were torches placed by the Imperial Army everywhere, indicating that they often came around here.

"Peeking into the Eye"

With a wave of his hand, the four peeping magic eyes were scattered into the air by An Yizhi, and after a while, they scattered everywhere to find directions.

Before, it was dark, only lit by torches, and peeping into the MONOCULUS did not have the ability to see darkly, so it was not advisable to use them to find the way, but now it is different, the surrounding lights are bright, and it is easier to peep into the MONOCULUS.

The others gathered around Ann Yizhi, watching the images coming back from the Eye of the Eye.

"That's the rune of spatial expansion."

Hela pointed to one of the screens and said that the MONOCULUS had reached the edge of the playground and could see the walls.

"This relic is actually much larger than what we see, and judging by the strength of the runes, it is at least three times the size of the current one."

Space expansion is a very useful technology, and modern mages use it to build their own mage towers. And this thing doesn't consume a lot of energy, only it consumes a lot of mana when expanding, and maintaining its mana is not much higher than maintaining a few lighting circles.

It is estimated that the ruins have no energy, and even the space expansion cannot be maintained, and if it fails, the part will be compressed and overlapped with the original space, no wonder there are wrecks everywhere, in addition to the factor of time, the destruction after the expansion failure is also an important reason.

Anyway, thanks to the fact that the expansion has failed, otherwise with a few of them, even if you find the end of today's game time limit, you don't want to find any clues.

"Is that a staircase?"

Red saw a suspicious entrance in an image transmitted back from a screen, and Ann pointed to the peep eye and flew over to make the image clearer.

"It's an entrance, indeed, and there's been a sign of human movement."

The entrance, which had been covered by a stone slab, was now half open and the other half lying on the ground, the marks of the fracture still very new, presumably recent.

"It's five hundred meters away to our left, anyway, let's take a look first, anyway, isn't there even a road map around here? The Elder Elves' amusement park is a failure. ”

An Yizhi's complaint is not unreasonable, you look at the playground in reality, how can there be a road map that is not marked in a conspicuous position, small ones are good to say, large playgrounds if there is no map tourists will get lost in it.

"I used to have it, but now it's gone."

Hela shrugged and explained casually.

Now that the direction has been determined, everyone is ready to go that way.

"Can I bring a souvenir?"

Beverly squatted on the ground and picked up the quick stone and said that the stone was engraved with the words of the ancient elves, and at first glance it looked quite historical.

Ann glanced at it and said:

"Take it with you if you want."

It's just a stone.,This girl seems to like things related to the ancient elves.,This is also a common problem of magic technicians.,They all have this virtue.。

Hela whispered through a psychic connection:

[Her stone says 'Step forward', presumably from the toilet, and it's also the men's toilet]

【…….】

So, don't think that the things of the ancient elves are all high, sometimes the reality is really cruel.

But considering that Beverly's girl likes to rub her face against the stone, Ann opened her mouth with a finger, and finally decided to let this misunderstanding continue to be beautiful......

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Time turns back a little bit -

An Yi pointed out that they were not mistaken, there was indeed a group of Imperial troops who came first in the ruins, but only a group.

Because the sign at the entrance of the ruins clearly states that this is just a playground, the imperial high-level suddenly lost interest in this place, if it is a very important relic such as a research institute, it is estimated that An Yi pointed out that if they want to enter, they can really only rely on hard breaking, and eighty percent of them will be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.

After all, there are strong people on the Empire's side......

But it was just a playground, and it wasn't very important, so the Empire left only a few soldiers and magicians to excavate it.

However, as the leader of the Magic Guide Mecha Project, Fred did not agree with the decision of the upper echelons, because the development of the Magic Guide Mecha on the Imperial side had entered a bottleneck, after all, the Magic Guide Mecha was not their own technology, but the optimization result of changing the design of the Elder Elves.

In terms of magic technology, the empire is really inferior to the magic city, which is a shortcoming on the bright side.

Fred believes that even the slightest opportunity cannot be missed, and of course, he also admits that there is nothing too big of a problem with the decision of the upper echelons of the empire, after all, the opportunity is too low and does not match the human and material resources invested.

Therefore, Fred personally approached the above to fight for the opportunity, and the new mecha he designed and built was one step away from being put into actual combat, hoping to find the most crucial step under the ruins.

The upper echelons of the empire agreed to the request of this talented major, so after An Yizhi made trouble with the military camp and snatched the mass-produced magic guide mecha, Fred did not plan to continue chasing, except that Palundexiu was too dangerous, he really didn't have time to chase An Yizhi because of the gains and losses of a mass-produced machine.

"Sir, the guards outside said that someone had broken in, and according to eyewitnesses, there were four intruders, three men and one woman, one of whom was a halfling."

Fred's heart moved when he heard the report from his subordinates:

"Ask them, is there a strong mage among the intruders?"

The magic communication was very fast, and the subordinates talked to the guards outside and said:

"Yes sir, one of them is a mage who can summon a 20-meter-tall dirt giant, it blocked the entrance to the ruins, and now the guards outside are digging with all their might to reopen the exit."

"Sure enough, it's you again...... Char! ”

This unlucky kid still doesn't know An Yizhi's real name......

An Yizhi is very strong, and he has shown courage and resourcefulness several times, Fred felt that this kind of talent should be used by the pedantic Holy Kingdom, it is better to recruit the empire to work for him, so he tried to persuade him to surrender three times and twice.

But the opportunities are obviously not unlimited, and having been rejected twice, Fred has given up on the idea of soliciting.

The pace must be quickened!

Although he has a grudge against An Yizhi, his dreams are obviously more important than personal grudges.

Since the upper echelons of the empire felt that it was unlikely that there would be much value in the ruins, Fred did not give him many men, even if he asked the upper echelons to give him a chance.

The team he led only had a total of 5 people, including himself, and he did not have an advantage in terms of combat effectiveness.

Fred didn't know what An Yizhi was called, but he didn't fight with An Yizhi, even if it was just two simple moves, he could see that An Yizhi's strength was not worse than his own, and even above him.

Considering that people are like clusters and groups of people, even if the teammates who can act with him are not as strong as An Yizhi, it is obviously impossible to be the kind of third-rate adventurer who wanders around the streets.

Looking at it this way, if you really fight, your own side will be wiped out by the other party.

Because in addition to himself, there is only one halfling girl on his side, whose combat power is okay, and the remaining three are just miscellaneous fish at the level of the squad leader, and in the way players are used to, the level of those three squad captains does not exceed level 25.

And when the halfling girl heard that there was a halfling among the intruders, she couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in her heart.

Could it be that guy again?

Then she shook her head and grabbed the dagger.

She is a soldier of the Empire, who has climbed from the servant army to her current status, although she is indeed a little inexplicable about apple tea, but it is far from being able to shake her.

Bang.

Fred pulled a switch that looked like an electric switch, and at that moment, the magic fluctuations quickly spread out, and the room where everyone was originally lit up with lighting runes, and the entire ruins were running again.

The things in the ruins have been studied by the magicians of the Imperial Army, and nothing of value has been found, but there are some places in the ruins that cannot be opened, and it needs energy from inside the ruins to open.

This 'power distribution room' was also discovered by them recently, and it was quite difficult to open the door, after all, not everyone had Hela's ability, and the magic guide technician on the Imperial side gritted his teeth and cracked it for almost a week before he succeeded in opening it.

"Let all the pilots outside get on the mecha and stand by, and then ask if my new machine is ready, I have a hunch that I can get a big harvest this time."

Then Fred said to the halfling girl who was a little distracted:

"Maya."

The latter was a little in a trance, and then reacted.

"You go and set up some traps on our way, you should bring the tools."

"Yes, sir."

It was certainly impossible for the improvised traps to hold the intruders for long, but what they lacked most now was time, even if they could hold it out for a while.

Fred set his task, turned to look at a picture on the wall of the 'distribution room', and looked at the bottom of the picture......
