Victor and the others found a dilapidated ancient book with important information in the "Hall of History", which made the dozen or so mages in the expedition feel extremely happy.

Wilder, the mage's apprentice, couldn't figure out why he hadn't found this "Hall of History" in his previous explorations of the ruins?

Smiling self-deprecatingly, Wilder, who had taken a new clue from the shabby book, immediately put the doubt behind him.

"It seems...... It's the right choice to explore the ruins with you this time! ”

Rosa, a high-ranking mage who spoke to Victor, carefully flipped through the ancient books in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction from time to time.

"Tell you the truth, Lord Rosa."

Victor shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's only now that I've become interested in this expedition to the ruins......"

At this moment, Rosa, who was looking through the ancient books, seemed to have found some important information, and he said in a hurried tone: "Victor, come and read the information recorded on this page!" ”

"Oh? What is written on it? ”

Seeing Rosa's uncertain face, Victor took a few steps forward and shifted his gaze to the open pages.

“…… Look!

The sages and the heavenly temples,

Turned into a fiery meteor and fell to the earth.

The mountains shook,

The valleys are cracked,

Like wax before fire,

Rushing down the slope to the water,

It's all because of Jacob's transgressions,

The sins of the Edwards.

……

The world is afflicted,

Cry out to the light beneath the abyss,

I beg your consent,

The cry of the world in the bitter cold of winter,

Listen to the prayers of the world.

O glorious hope in the lost city,

I will exalt you,

Bless your name forever and ever.

I will meditate on your majesty and honor,

and marvelous deeds.

I will preach your great virtues,

and sing of thy righteousness.

……”

A long poem full of deep meaning caught Victor's eyes.

"It's kind of interesting!" Victor's brain raced up, "What's hidden in this text?" ”

After reading through the entire library in the Tower of Babel, Victor's memory contained a large amount of historical material, and it didn't take long for him to roughly correspond this long poem to a secret passage from the ancient arcane empire.

If you want to understand this secret, you have to talk about the foundation of the Netherel Empire - the "Nether Scroll".

Legend has it that people at the time did not know who discovered this significant and legendary magical knowledge, but he, she, or they were called "discoverers".

The "Discoverer" found the golden scroll in the midst of an ancient ruin. He then brought them back to Netheriel, where he continued to study them.

After more than a dozen years of research, the "discoverer" determined that the hundred-page gold scroll could actually be divided into two sets, one for each fifty pages, one of which looked much older and duller.

After that, the "Discoverer" made a fateful decision to make the two sets of 100-page gold scrolls public...... In just a few decades, every Nesserel has benefited greatly from the knowledge of the Golden Scroll.

In honor of the "discoverer" and the golden scroll he found, it was called the "Scroll of Nether".

With the discovery of the Nerther Scroll, the Nesserel became engrossed in the study of magic, and over the course of centuries, they achieved brilliant arcane achievements.

While the people of Netherel were rejoicing at the advent of the Golden Age, a prominent family of mages, the Edwards, plotted a shocking robbery, and one of the two Nerder Scrolls was taken away from Nesseril by Jacob Edward.

The genius Jacob Edward made an unimaginable leap in strength by studying and studying the "Scroll of Nether" that he had stolen.

Because of his ambition, Jacob led the Edwards to wage a five-hundred-year war against the kingdom of Netheriel, in which countless mages and countless cities in the sky fell.

Jacob Edward, who brought death and blood to the Nethriel people, was known as the "Lord of Dusk" because everywhere he went, it was like twilight fell, and everything withered with his footsteps and fell into eternal sleep.

The content of the long poem as seen by Victor...... It's all because of Jacob's transgressions, and the sinful ...... of Edward's family."

Thinking of this, Victor told all his speculations to Rosa, who had a bad face.

"Alas!"

Rosa sighed heavily, "In this way, I'm afraid we're going to run into ** annoyance!" ”

"Oh? Why? Victor asked curiously.

"You little one......"

Rosa gave Victor an angry look, "If I don't say it, you don't want to!" Now that you know the arrival of Jacob, the owner of the stone tomb, through a long poem recorded in ancient books, don't you know where this ruin we are located is? ”

"Where?"

Victor frowned, pondering, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"That's right! Since this site contains the tomb of Jacob Edward, the 'Lord of the Dusk', it should be the legendary 'Lost City'!! ”

"Perhaps......," Victor said in a hot and dreamy tone, "perhaps we may still find the Scroll of Nether, which was stolen by the Edwards......"

"That's right! But ......"

With a somewhat hesitant expression, Rosa said, "But we will also face a great crisis!" That's a big problem......"

"Send someone to pass on the information here to a few Grand Arcanists!"

Victor thought for a moment, and then said in a firm tone, "I'm sure that several adults will definitely pay attention to this 'Lost City'...... Until they arrive, our mission is to safely guard the entrance to the ruins and take care of this precious ancient book! ”

"What do you mean, Victor?"

"Let's step back! Retreat to the entrance of the ruins and wait for the arrival of the adults......"

"Good! Just do what you want! ”

After Victor and Rosa had put it together, they were about to retreat to the entrance of the ruins with the expedition.

"No! I'm against it! ”

Wilder shouted emotionally, "Mr. Victor, Lord Rosa! You don't know, if our expedition retreats to the entrance, this ruin may not be reopened......"

"My parents left a note after exploring the site."

Wilder took out a thin codex from his backpack and said in a somewhat incoherent voice, "According to my parents' research, the rune circle at the entrance to this ruin can be used at most two or three times......"

"I've been here twice...... The expedition was the third ...... If we go out, we may never be able to get in again......"

After hearing Wilder's words, Victor and Rosa looked at each other.

"What should I do? Is it to give up exploring the ruins? Or do you want to go on an adventure?"
