"Lord Hill, was this operation too hasty?"

In a team heading to the underground ruins, a burly strong man asked the black-robed man behind him a little crampedly, "The time left for us to start a riot is too short, and if the operation fails, we won't even have a way to retreat......

"Huh? Are you questioning my decision? ”

The black-robed man's face was indistinct, and there was a hint of danger in his gloomy and hoarse voice.

"The subordinates don't dare!!"

The strong man seemed to be under some kind of irresistible pressure, he stopped and lowered his head deeply towards the black-robed man, "The subordinates dare not question any decision of the master......"

"Humph! It's good if you don't dare ”

The black-robed man's footsteps did not stop at all, "As long as I can enter the ruins and activate the 'Inheritance Array' in it, there will be no problem!" ”

As he spoke, the black-robed man grabbed a handful of shimmering dust from his waist bag, and a mouthful spell sounded, "As...... Bara Lane ......"

With the sound of incantations, the glittering dust in the hands of the black-robed man suddenly swirled up, wrapping around the weapons of the soldiers in the ranks.

For a moment, the entire team's position shone brightly, and the darkness in the passage was swept away.

The black-robed man nodded with satisfaction and ordered, "Speed up!" ”

The soldiers looked fanatical, and the speed of the group's advance more than doubled.

……

In the other team heading to the ruins, Leo was among them.

"Leo! My child, how did you know that there was such a secret passage under the City Lord's Mansion? Is there anything else I don't know? ”

The city lord of Carter City had a blue face, and as the lord of a city, he didn't know that there was a secret passage hidden under his residence.

Leo quickly explained, "Father, do you remember when my brother and I used to play in the back garden when we were young? It was at that time that I discovered the entrance to the secret passage...... After that, I went to the temple to practice, and the bishop asked me to keep this secret strictly, and I was not allowed to reveal it to anyone unless I had to......

"Humph! Temple? Bishop? The city lord sneered and mocked: "Hehehe...... Leo, if it weren't for the pursuit of the mastermind behind this riot, would you, a loyal paladin, still hide the secret passages? ? You're really my good son!! ”

Leo was silent about this.

The conversation between the Lord of Carter City and Leo revealed his identity, he was the second son of the City Lord and the chief paladin of the temple. The reason why he lived in the civilian area of the old city was because Leo needed to do a period of "penance" to break through his current state.

……

In the underground ruins, Victor, who is at the central node of the "Inheritance Circle", has already made up his mind to activate the circle. Because he knew that he didn't have the right to pick and choose when he was in desperate need of strength, no matter what kind of mage's advanced profession it was, it was extremely important to him!

"In that case, let's get started......"

Victor, who was calm, closed his eyes and tried to empty his mind into a meditative state of emptiness.

After a short period of effort, the "Inheritance Altar" in the underground ruins suddenly erupted with bursts of powerful magical power, and the "Inheritance Ritual" had already begun......

The dark blue magic turned into countless tiny arcs of electricity, jumping around around the "Inheritance Altar", and the space where the underground ruins were located almost turned into a sea of thunder and lightning! And Victor's body also appeared with a strange brilliance, and the whole person automatically suspended above the circle.

Rows of numbers frantically appeared in Deng Hang's mind:

"The Inheritance Ritual Has Begun to ......"

"Absorb the magic...... The circle is functioning normally......"

"The career template is officially open! The number of acquisition modules is overloaded......"

"Advanced Occupation Information Synchronization Import ......"

"The number of jù is received...... Analysis starts ......"

"The number of jù is finished!"

"Gain the advanced class of mage, 'Seeker of Truth'."

……

The huge number of streams poured into Victor's mind like a tsunami, and if it weren't for the super-brain existence in his soul, I'm afraid his head would have been exploded! And now Victor reluctantly accepted a qiē and completed the entire "inheritance ceremony" relatively smoothly.

When the ceremony ended, Victor felt that his body was filled with unprecedented power! This gave him the illusion that he could distort space with a wave of his hand......

"The power obtained out of thin air is not so easy to grasp......"

Victor forcibly suppressed the feeling of ruins in the face of raising his hand, and tried his best to restrain his mind! After a long time, the madness in his eyes gradually faded, and he regained his clarity.

"It's so hanging! If I hadn't suppressed this madness, I would have become a puppet and self-destructive ......."

Victor, who had received the inheritance, wiped his forehead full of cold sweat with palpitations.

At this moment, an illusory, old-faced figure appeared in the magic circle that had consumed the magic power.

"Lucky little one, I'm glad you were able to pass the guò test and get the inheritance of me, the legendary mage Mellon......"

"As a forerunner, I need to warn you ......"

"For a true mage, the power at his disposal is nothing more than a tool for the search for truth......

"How did the world come into being?"

"What is the origin of life?"

"What is the nature of magic?"

"Why does it cost mental energy to cast spells?"

"What is mental power?"

"What is the material basis of this world?"

"What is the soul?"

"Why is there day and night? Why do they alternate cycles? ”

"What is time? Is it a substance? Or is it something illusory? ”

"What is space? How is it structured? ”

“……”

"The path of the mage, full of thorns! Only when you are firm in your beliefs can you use the power of magic to explore, to discover, to create......"

"In the dark compartment under the circle, I left some gadgets that may help you......"

"Latecomers, you must remember: for the vast sea of truth, inquiry is the eternal theme!!"

……

When Victor listened to the message left by the legendary mage Mellon, he felt an indescribable shock in his heart!

Since the time travel, when Victor found out that it was a game world, he had some questions, why did the game world come to life? Is there a connection between this world and the world that once were? However, for various reasons, he quickly put these doubts behind him......

And now, when Victor heard this series of shocking questions, he immediately understood...... Not the temptation of the devil. Confusion is not the mercy of the gods, but the enlightenment that clears the fog of the soul and points directly to the heart!!

Victor was eager to start researching these questions right away, and with the scientific education he received in his previous life, the knowledge he learned, and the "encyclopedia" in the information storage module, he believed that he would open up a new path of exploration in this fantasy world.
