The battle on the other side of the bridge was almost over.

If the ghosts in this ancient ruin were really repeating the events of the day before they died, based on the current distribution of troops in the city, Stephen estimated that the entire city was on high alert at that time. Not only are the entrances to the city guarded by the military, but the streets of the city are still not patrolled by guards.

As for the reason why this place is heavily guarded, it must have something to do with the illness of Queen Veronica.

When Stephen touched it, the wizards of the Five Rings Tower were looking around for some loot, and a wizard from the astrological platform could be heard talking from a distance.

"What kind of metal is this, it's hard, and it seems to be able to conduct magic!" said a battle wizard of the elemental pool, picking up a bayonet sword and swinging it.

The wizard from the astrological platform next to him put on a monocle when he heard this, and then motioned for the other party to hand it over and take a look, and after carefully looking at it for a while, he said a little uncertainly: "It doesn't seem to be a common metal in our world." ”

"The magic guide is very good!"

"It's still well preserved, it looks a bit like meteoric iron!"

Hearing the words of the wizard of the astrological platform, everyone else couldn't help but look at it curiously.

This sword is silver-white as a whole, very sharp, the sword body has the carvings of the stars, there is an open blood groove at the top of the blade, the forging process used is not small from the current one, and you can also see the magic patterns commonly used by ancient wizards on it.

"It's supposed to be meteoric iron. The other wizard nodded.

For spellcasters, meteorite from the Astral Plane is a natural rare material, similar in texture to Stephen's converted magic steel, but with a slightly better performance.

"Where the stars fell?"

"Have there been a lot of meteorites falling here?" said the astrological wizard as he took off his monocle and muttered to himself.

For the discussion of the wizards, the old witcher sitting next to him didn't care at all, the demon slaying sword in his hand had cut off one of these stabbing swords in the battle just now, it seemed that it was an officer-level ghost who would equip this kind of weapon, but it had no effect at all in the face of the demon slaying sword.

The old witcher carefully wiped the blade of his sword, occasionally turning his head to glance at the Void Master next to him.

The Void Master is closing his eyes and recuperating.

But suddenly, his ears moved, and then he stood up quietly and said, "The battle here is over. I'll go back first. ”

"It was going to be dark soon. ”

"We'd better not go any deeper. ”

in the sky.

A blood-red crescent moon has become more and more eye-catching, and in the realm of nightmares, the sun is just a gray cluster of light, which is often obscured by the fog and cannot be seen, but the crescent moon will shine very brightly under the night sky.

The Void Master wanted to leave early, and the others didn't care too much.

The wizards of the Observatory were collecting samples from the vicinity, and the outermost buildings were a little more damaged, but they could still find a lot of valuable things. Some strange inscriptions are engraved on the ground, and the fluctuations of the magic network can be sensed underground, and there used to be a large protective circle here. Basically, these wizards of the astrological platform are like tomb robbers at the moment, they will not let go of anything valuable, and some of the inscriptions are engraved with incomprehensible words, and they simply dig up the whole thing and pull it back for translation. The wizards of the Botanical Garden are a little better, most of them collect samples of flowers and plants, and the plants here have basically mutated after being nourished by death all year round.

In a shady wood.

Stephen quietly waited for the arrival of the Void Master, and as soon as the other party's figure appeared, he immediately told the other party what he had discovered.

Hearing this, Master Void couldn't help but fall silent.

After a long while, he lowered his voice and said solemnly, "So, the dream chrysalis is really inside?"

"Eight, nine, ten. Stephen nodded.

The fall of this ancient city is absolutely inseparable from the chrysalis, and Stephen is suspicious that the legendary wizard Vera who has returned from the ghost's mouth has not defeated this terrible evil.

"That's trouble. Master Void raised his hand and touched his bald head.

Dream chrysalis.

Challenge the level 30+ evil!

Regardless of whether it was sealed inside an ancient ruin or not, a creature of this level was extremely dangerous in itself!

"What are your plans?" asked the Void Master, looking up.

Stephen glanced at the other party, thought for a moment, and said, "No matter where the chrysalis is, the most important thing for us at the moment is to dismantle the core drive device of the lock!"

"If these ghosts really keep the memories of their lives. ”

"Then there should be a ghost wizard in this city who can activate it. ”

If these ghosts are really repeating what happened before death, then someone must be in charge of the operation inside the lock, which is why more than 3,000 years have passed, and the lock is only insufficient in energy and has not been completely closed. You must know that Stephen's wizarding tower, even if it is powered by an elemental furnace, it will only last for a few hundred years at most.

Someone must be doing daily maintenance on the lost lock!

"Good. Do you want the people of the Five Rings Tower to help with this?" the Void Master looked at Stephen next to him, and he could tell that Stephen didn't want to reveal his identity.

Really.

Stephen shook his head and said, "They can't help! The inside of the Lost Lock is very dangerous, and if you enter below the legend, you will be sent to death!"

"But I need someone to help distract some of them. ”

With a slight wave of his hand, a topographical map scanned by Taling 1 appeared in front of him, and he said in a deep voice, "From here, you can directly lead to the palace." There are a lot of patrol guards on the road. ”

"You must avoid these positions!"

"I've scanned powerful constructs around here, and while I don't know if they can be activated, it's best not to provoke them. ”

"The most valuable things in the city should be in the palace. ”

"According to the memories of these ghosts, when the palace is attacked, they will definitely go to protect it, so I will find an opportunity to sneak into the location of the lock and tear it down. ”

As Stephen walked around, he asked Taling 1 to scan the ancient ruins.

There are three most important areas in the whole city, the first is the palace area, the second is the tower area, and the third is the library.

The heart of the Lost Lock is in the Tower area.

In the entire academy, Stephen is probably the only one who can unknowingly crack the protective circle of ancient wizards and sneak into the interior of the tower. Others wouldn't be able to help, but it would be better to let them go to the palace district to attract the attention of some ghosts. Stephen was going to close the Locks before solving the other problems, if only he could gain control of the Locks.
