Kingdom of Babatler, on the outskirts of Saint-Ne Burg.

Between the mountains, there are occasional views and stunning views as the terrain undulates.

Victor, Rosa and the others, led by the mage's apprentice Wilder, came to the foot of a majestic mountain.

"Lord Victor, Lord Rosa......"

Wilder pointed to the mountain in front of everyone and said, "...... This is the entrance to the ruins of the Ancient Nethriel Empire marked on the map. ”

"But if we want to enter the ruins, we need to wait for the night of the new moon!"

Speaking of this, Wilder smiled: "Fortunately, we are lucky, tonight is the day of the rising of the new moon......"

"Then let's rest for a while, and then we'll enter the ruins at night."

Victor nodded, then greeted Rosa, and the two of them climbed a huge rock at the foot of the mountain and chatted.

"Victor, is that mage apprentice reliable?"

Rosa glanced down at Wilder, who was not far away and had set up an improvised camp with the mage apprentices.

"Well, there shouldn't be any problems!"

"From what I've observed," says Victor, "Wilder is simply trying to find out from the ruins the cause of his parents' deaths. ”

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then turned the topic to the "Long Road Hub" Maiturisiland.

"After the failure of this crusade, the vitality of the Eternal Temple was greatly damaged, and the so-called 'Fourth Religious War' had just begun, and it came to an abrupt end!"

Rosa said with a smile, "...... It's become a big joke! ”

"Not really!" Victor sighed with emotion: "Who would have thought that the war fortress would quietly leave Carter City and ambush near Maidurisiland?" ”

"Through this 'Battle of the Lagas Pass', the prestige of the Magical Society has reached new heights than ever before...... I think there will be no large-scale armed conflicts in the next 10 years or so. ”

"That's right!"

Victor suddenly thought of something, and he asked, "Lord Rosa, what have you found out about the cause of the wolf tide in the north?" ”

Rosa shook her head, "I don't know! The people we sent out to investigate either disappeared mysteriously or returned in vain...... According to the news from inside, the same is true for the Temple of Eternity. ”

"Well, I just hope nothing happens again......"

In the continuous communication between Victor and Rosa, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already nightfall, and the crescent moon was rising.

"Lord Victor, Lord Rosa, we can go!"

Beneath the boulder, Wilder greeted loudly.

"Got it!"

Victor responded, and jumped off the boulder with Rosa.

Under the light of the moon, the expedition team set off in full gear.

A magic hour later, the expedition arrived in the depths of a hidden cavern. Through the cracks in the cave, the bright moonlight shone directly on a smooth rock wall at the end of the cave.

Wilder, who was holding the map, took a few steps forward, "Viru...... Yu Dirou ...... ...... of the Apis

Passages of the ancient arcane imperial Chinese language echoed in the empty cavern, and a mysterious aura immediately emerged.

I saw that the smooth rock wall, under the effect of the moonlight and spells, flashed bursts of dark blue magic brilliance, and a huge rune magic circle covering the entire rock wall appeared in everyone's field of vision.

“…… Louhope ...... Diani ...... Al Lutase! ”

When the spell in Wilder's mouth ended, the dark blue magic light emitted by the rune circle on the rock wall suddenly exploded, causing everyone to subconsciously close their eyes.

When Victor's vision returned to normal, he found that the smooth rock wall in front of him had split apart, like a giant rock gate that had been opened.

At this time, Wilder bowed slightly towards Victor, and then he was the first to enter the entrance to the ruins of the ancient arcane empire.

The people who entered the state of alert cautiously followed Wilder along the bluestone path in the ruins passage.

"There is nothing dangerous about the entrance to the ruins......"

Wilder said in a calm tone, "I've been here two or three times, don't worry!" ”

However, Wilder's words did not ease everyone's vigilance, and Victor of the expedition team looked around the sides of the ruins passage as he went.

"This is indeed a relic of an ancient arcane empire......"

Rosa's voice rang in Victor's ears: "You see, the frescoes on the rock walls on both sides of the passage are all in the style of the Netherel period. ”

Under Rosa's introduction, Victor once again scrutinized the huge murals.

Time continued to pass, and as everyone went deeper into the ruins, the natural light was no longer enough to illuminate the vision, so a group of magical light formed by the "Dancing Light Technique" appeared around the expedition team, illuminating the entire passage.

"Mr. Victor, we're here!"

When the expedition reached the end of the passage, Wilder's voice rang out just in time.

After hearing this, Victor sent out several lighting spells one after another towards the space in front of him, and the soft light instantly forced the darkness back.

Huge shadows were immediately cast in all directions, and they saw a ceiling more than a hundred meters high above their heads, supported by many majestic stone pillars arranged in order.

It was a large hall with black walls polished to shine like glass crystal. It was noted that the hall had three other entrances with the same black arches, one directly opposite them and one to the left and right.

"This is the magnificent ruins of the Ancient Arcane Empire! I'm here again......"

Looking at everything in front of him, Wilder muttered to himself in a dreamy, ethereal tone.

"Everyone, be on guard! Get ready to explore! ”

Victor exclaimed, "Let's start on the right side of the hall first......"

With that, the members of the expedition formed a battle formation and walked towards the right side of the hall.

Soon, the group came to the black arch entrance on the right side of the hall, and after making sure it was safe, Victor and the others walked in.

It was a smaller room, and on the other side of it, there was a door in the direction of the west. Between the two gates, the ground was littered with bones, broken swords and axe hilts, round shields, and helmets. In the center of the room, a dilapidated sarcophagus came into view.

"It seems...... It's not wonderful! ”

Victor stepped over the bones on the ground, stepped forward, and read the handwriting engraved on the sarcophagus: "Here Jacob rests!" Son of Edward, Lord of Dusk. ”

All the members of the expedition stood silently in front of the stone tomb, looking at each other.

"Jacob? Lord of Dusk? Who is he? ”

Wilder scratched his hair in confusion, "Strange! The last time I visited, why didn't I find this sarcophagus? ”

After some searching, Rosa found a badly damaged book, in which everyone knew that they were located called the "Hall of History", as well as the general layout of the ruins of the ancient arcane empire.

"Hah! It seems that we are really lucky...... Now, the next journey is no longer blind! ”

The members of the expedition were gearing up and ready to do a great job.
