Chapter 952: Ruins on the Arctic Ice Sheet

Although Davos is not a legendary powerhouse, he is recognized as a master in the academic circles of the Kingdom of France, especially in archaeology.

In the past 100 years, more than half of the scholarly works on archaeology have been signed with the name of Davos, and many materials left by predecessors have been revised, which can be said to have made an extremely outstanding contribution to the study of world history by Anriel. It's a pity that in the past 20 years, Davos has not appeared in any academic setting, and legend has it that an accident happened during field archaeology.

"You mean, the Davos known as the master of academics?" Lin Li asked in disbelief.

"Well, it's him, he came to Doland's library just to see more about the history of the Breezy Plains. I talked to him a lot, and it was like getting acquainted at first sight, originally I just taught him some means of saving his life in the wild, but I didn't expect him to admit death, saying that since he had taught him, he was his teacher. Basel said this, with a look of helplessness and relief on his face.

Thinking of the identity of Davos's academic master, a scene came to mind in Linli's mind, a thin middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed round glasses, dressed plainly and neatly, sitting opposite Basel with a serious and old-fashioned expression, despite Basel's saliva, still stubbornly called out "teacher" without humility or arrogance, and then Basel resigned to his fate.

"It is said that Davos disappeared more than 20 years ago, so many people rumored that he had an accident in the wild, but I didn't expect him to be alive, I don't know what he has experienced for more than 20 years." An archaeologist who had been missing for more than twenty years, a letter sent more than twenty years later, and a legendary mage who had spent two years on it, Lin Li became more and more interested in the reasons for Basel's no-show.

"Yes, I thought at the beginning that he was likely to have encountered an accident, otherwise how could there be no news for more than 20 years. After receiving the letter, I thought I was dazzled by his handwriting, and even looked for his previous notes for a careful comparison. Recalling the surprise when he received the letter, Basel was also quite emotional.

A person who values him has been missing for more than 20 years, and suddenly received his letter one day, the feeling of surprise and disbelief can be completely imagined, so he smiled understandingly, and said: "Master Basel's mood, I can also imagine it, I don't know where Master Basel saw him this time." ”

"Later, I read the contents of the letter, and then I learned that he had lived in a tribe of the dwarven kingdom for more than twenty years. In the letter, he said that he had found something and wanted me to go over and take a look. I wanted to make sure he was safe, and I was also a little curious about what he had discovered, so I decided to go to the place he said to meet him first. Speaking of which, Basel was a little embarrassed, missing the appointment was one thing, and he left in a hurry, but he didn't leave an explanation for Lin Li, which was somewhat inappropriate.

"You don't have to worry too much about that agreed, and I trust anyone in that situation to think about anything else." Seeing Basel's embarrassment, Lin Li persuaded him, and then asked strangely: "Could it be that Davos has been staying in that place for more than 20 years?" ”

"Yes, when I found him at the address he had said, he was almost two people from before, with a large beard, sitting on the ground laughing loudly with the dwarves, drinking large cups of ale, which he let spill on his chest. I'm afraid that if it were someone else, I might not be able to recognize him, he was the aristocratic scholar with polite and elegant manners back then. However, he hasn't changed much from me, and I still meet as a teacher. Basel sighed, but the joy on his face remained undiminished.

"What did he find, he actually lived in the dwarven tribe for more than twenty years, he really wanted to live there in seclusion." After an archaeological authority stayed in one place for more than 20 years, Lin Li became more and more curious about the discovery of Davos.

"He said in the letter that he seemed to have found clues related to the Pantheon, but due to the limitations of his strength, he couldn't explore further, so he thought of me who had nothing to do in the library." Basel didn't hide anything from Lin Li, but simply said the contents of the letter.

The name of the Pantheon is known to everyone in the Anriel world, but almost no one knows the true situation of the Pantheon, and there are only various legends that cannot be verified. Among the many legends, there is a widely circulated theory that the pantheon was the residence of the Titans during the Flood Era, which he had heard from Sendros and the Borg of the Dark Blade.

It is said that during the Flood Era, the Ancient Dragons were at war with the Titans, and the Ancient Dragons were led by a Council of Guardians composed of the five guardian dragons, and the Titans were led by this pantheon. When exploring the ruins of the Hyga Mountains, Darkblade thought that the ruins were related to the Pantheon, but it turned out to be a city in the sky.

In Sendros's account, the Pantheon is the resting place of the Titan Heroic Spirits after the death of the Titans, and it is said that they are drifting in the endless turbulence of time and space, and even the gods cannot find it at all. However, this claim cannot be proven, except for the vanished Immortal King and Gresco, no one has the ability to explore the turbulence of time and space, let alone find the legendary Pantheon.

At the beginning of the Sky City, Lin Li once fell into an endless labyrinth, and watched the changes of the entire Anriel world in the labyrinth. And there, he had entered a palace of immense size, in which he was really like an insignificant ant. Based on the size of the palace, he also once thought that it should be the legendary Pantheon, but there was nothing in the palace that could prove his guess, and whether it was or not could not really be accurately answered.

In any case, although no one knew what the Pantheon was like, they were all extremely convinced of the existence of this place. The name Pantheon is mentioned frequently in many historical materials circulating in the world of Anriel, and even in the history recorded by the High Elves, the name Pantheon has appeared, but there is not much description of it.

"Pantheon?" When Lin Li heard this name, he was not too surprised, but showed a little doubt. The Pantheon is such a mysterious existence, countless powerhouses in history have tried to find the location of the Pantheon, and almost all the places that Anriel Continent can find have been searched, but no one has been able to succeed. Although Davos is an academic master and an expert in archaeology, his personal strength is limited, and he cannot go deep into areas that are too difficult, and it may be very difficult to set foot in areas that no one has ever set foot in.

Seeing Lin Li's suspicious expression, Basel smiled and said, "It seems that you have also thought of it, although Davos has learned some magic from me, its strength is really limited, so I am also very skeptical when I see the letter mentioning the Pantheon." After I found him in the dwarven tribe, I made some preparations, and then led by him, I set out from Danmoro and traveled all the way north to the depths of the Far North ice field. And there, I finally saw an ancient ruin he had discovered. ”

"Also...... Really? Lin Li couldn't help but be taken aback, the depths of the Arctic Ice Field, it was definitely a forbidden area for life, let alone a human, even a giant dragon would not dare to set foot there easily, and only the frost dragon among the ancient dragons would dare to operate in that environment. The cold is one aspect, and it is said that there are often terrifying hurricanes, which can even engulf huge blocks of ice in them, and the power of even a dragon can be broken to the bone.

"Yes, but not a pantheon, but a High Elf ruin." Basel nodded.

"This ......" Lin Li was a little speechless, the ruins of the High Elves appeared there, I am afraid it was even more incredible than the Pantheon appeared there. However, Lin Li thought of the previous cooperation with Hoffman in the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, since there may be the remains of the High Elves in the Grand Canyon of Gargas, then the discovery of Davos and Basel does not seem so incomprehensible.

Basel didn't know about Lin Li's cooperation with Hoffman, and thought that Lin Li must not believe the information he said, so he explained: "I know that the High Elves have always hated cold environments, and there is almost no record of setting foot in the Far North in history, so it's normal for you not to believe it. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the ruins, but as we got deeper, we found some High Elf-style carvings there, and even saw the High Elf totem pillars, which confirmed my suspicions. ”

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the news is so surprising." Although Lin Li has not had much contact with Basel, he also knows that Basel is in the Breezy Plains, and has always been known for his erudition, coupled with Davos, an authority in the archaeological field, the possibility of misunderstanding is basically non-existent. The reason why Davos regarded the ruins as a pantheon is probably also due to the limitation of strength, unable to explore more deeply, naturally it is impossible to imagine that the high elves would operate in such a cold and harsh environment.

"It's a pity that the strength of Davos and I is still too thin to explore the ruins too deeply. Only at the entrance to the ruins, some broken pieces of paper were found, and some rune stones engraved with magic runes. Basel said as he took out something and placed it on the table.

"That's what you found in that ruins?" Lin Li's eyes fell on those pieces of paper, and he saw that the pieces of paper were full of various alchemy formulas, but because there were too many missing parts, he couldn't tell what alchemy formulas were for a while. There were also scraps of paper with various magical symbols drawn on them, as well as scattered High Elf writing.

"Yes, that's all, but that's not enough to know more about that ruin. Look at the words on this piece of paper," Basel pointed to a broken piece of paper, pointed out the High Elf text on it to Lin Li, and said in a puzzled tone, "Speaking of a huge ravine here, this should be the Immortal King......"

Immortal King! When Lin Li saw those words, he couldn't help but become cautious. The Immortal King is a god-like existence, a peerless powerhouse who kills the Dragon of Destruction, but anything related to the Immortal King is not to be taken carelessly.

Basel let Lin Li look at the things he had collected, while he leaned back in his chair, his face contemplative, his eyes a little confused, and muttered to himself, "What does the huge ravine mean......?"

After Lin Li saw those things, he didn't see any special clues, but when he heard Basel's self-talk, his heart suddenly moved, could the huge ravine mentioned on the piece of paper refer to the Grand Canyon of Gargas? Thinking of this, he said: "Master Basel, I have a little idea about this huge ravine. ”

"yes, what do you mean!" Basel muttered, suddenly reacted to what Lin Li said, hurriedly looked at Lin Li, and asked with some disbelief: "What did you just say, do you know what this huge ravine is?" ”

Lin Li understood Basel's reaction very well, and if it was someone who had spent almost two years on an issue, he would be somewhat entangled, so he said: "Master Basel, I went to the city of Rafalia of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce a few days ago, where Master Hoffmann talked to me about something......" Then, he told Basel about the cooperation with Hoffman, and then said his guess, whether the huge ravine would refer to the Gargas Grand Canyon.

Listening to Lin Li's statement, Basel's eyes gradually lit up, and he couldn't help muttering, "Could it be, really?" ”

"Master Basel, we have already agreed with Hoffmann to explore the Grand Canyon of Gargarz together. It's just that you're back this time, so why don't you go with us and explore the ruins. Lin Li saw that Basel was a little moved, so he proposed to let him join the exploration team.

"This ...... Not so good. "Although Basel promised to join the Tower of Twilight and serve as the chief judge of the Tower of Twilight, he has not reported his identity to the Supreme Council now, and he is not technically a member of the Tower of Twilight, so he is somewhat hesitant.

Lin Li guessed Basel's worries, and said with a smile: "Haha, Master Basel, you are thinking too much, since you have agreed to join the Tower of Twilight, what does it matter if you report or not, I believe you." ”

"Okay, then I'll listen to the elder's arrangement." Basel was in a good mood and made a joke about Lin Li.
