Chapter 71: Ancient Ruins 4

Lost locks.

One of the wizards' greatest masterpieces!

From the Thursilver Age all the way to the Arcane Empire, the Lost Locks have been the wizards' last resort to defend themselves against their enemies. In the simplest terms, the Lost Lock is a super-large spell matrix system that combines the capabilities of attack, defense, strategic strike, and so on. However, in the early days, the Lost Locks were mainly defensive and during the Arcane Empire, due to the need to explore the astral plane, the Grand Arcanists loaded the Lost Locks into the Floating City and equipped them with legendary constructs for strategic strikes. At the height of the Arcane Empire's war with the gods, the Chainlock was one of the crowning achievements of the Arcane Civilization, and as one of the highest achievements of the Arcane Civilization, the Chainlock was the only defense system capable of withstanding the full force of a powerful god head-on.

"Taling 1. ”

"Can you scan the strength of this lock?" said Stephen.

Soon.

A cold mechanical voice sounded, "Yes." Consumes 0.3% of additional energy. ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Stephen said, "Then scan." ”

Psionic fluctuations are instantly enhanced.

With the consumption of soul energy, more scan data is fed back to Taling 1, and at the same time, a prompt sounds: "Scan completed!"

"At present, the energy fluctuation of the lock is weak!

"The protected area is fifty square kilometers. ”

"It is preliminarily judged to be the technology of the late Thursilver era! It does not have the ability to strike ultra-long-range and strategic strikes...... does not have the ability to lift into the air...... It does not have the ability to protect the astral plane......"

"The challenge level is estimated to be 25!"

Late Thurium technology?

Sure enough, there was some kind of close connection between the ancient wizard's inheritance and the Thursilver Age, and Stephen stared at the energy mass in the distance and muttered, "The challenge level is 25!

Normally.

The challenge level of the Lost Lock is 30+, but this is an ancient city's Lost Lock, which lacks the huge amount of energy to supply its operation, and it may not be maintained, so the challenge level will drop significantly. But the maze lock basically has a terminal defense system.,As long as it's still in operation, there are some constructs in it as the last protection.,These are enemies that can't be avoided no matter what.。 With Stephen's current strength, it is still difficult to single out these terminal defense constructs, and the current hope is that the energy of the Lost Lock is not enough to support the operation of too many legendary constructs.

"Let's go back to the camp and see the plan for the Fifth Ring Tower. Stephen said.

It's a busy part of the camp.

It seems that the Fifth Ring Tower also knows the danger of exploring an ancient wizard ruin, and after conducting preliminary reconnaissance and understanding, the academy temporarily slowed down the progress of the exploration, but still fought with the ghosts on the periphery of the ancient ruins.

Inside the tent.

Victor's red-robed wizard has arrived, and there are also Winter Witch, Liana Witch, the new chief wizard of the astrological observatory and others, among which there are some unfamiliar faces that Stephen doesn't know, most of them are battle wizards belonging to the elemental pool, and they should have been temporarily transferred from other Great Secret Realms.

"Here. Over here. And here. ”

In front of Victor the red-robed wizard was a rudimentary scanned map, and he marked three points on the periphery of the ancient ruins, and then said in a deep voice: "This is the entrance to the ancient ruins, but there are a large number of ghost armies stationed in them. ”

"Preliminary estimates are around 150-300. ”

"The strength of a single is equivalent to that of a gray-robed wizard, and the few who have the strength of a blue-robed wizard, and the officer headed by him is equivalent to a high-level wizard. ”

"These are supposed to be the armies of ancient wizards. ”

"These ghosts have some spell casting abilities, and their attacks have a negative energy erosion effect, so it is recommended that everyone try to avoid getting hurt. ”

"The situation inside is not clear. ”

"The men we sent out couldn't break through their defensive lines, and the detection spells were obscured by the fog. ”

"So after deliberation by the Academy Council, we decided to take this place first!"

Victor the red-robed wizard drew a circle on one area, and then said, "There are the fewest ghosts stationed here, and the nearby buildings should be residential areas, and the danger is far lower than other places. In addition, it is best not to go too deep inside, the tower spirit of the astrological observatory scans very special energy fluctuations in the depths of the ancient ruins. ”

"There's a good chance there's a lock in motion here. ”

Speaking of the Lost Lock, the expressions of the other wizards couldn't help but become solemn, because even high-level wizards could face the Lost Lock, and they might be wiped out in an instant.

"If there is no problem. ”

"Let's take this place down today!" Victor red-robed wizard marked the bridge and said in a deep voice, "There is a small team of ghosts here, and we can explore these three points after taking this place." ”

Time flies.

As soon as Stephen came back, he saw a team of high-ranking wizards ready to go, and Liana Witch was among them, and she beckoned when she saw Stephen, "Come here." ”

"Stay here and don't run around, you know?"

"There are a lot of undead in this ancient ruin, and you will go in with the group after we take the neighborhood. ”

Stephen nodded slightly, and casually responded, "Hmm." ”

Over there.

The team led by five high-level wizards has set off, and the main force of this battle is the elemental pool wizard, but the figures of the Void Master and the old witcher can be seen among them, and after noticing Stephen's gaze, the Void Master nodded slightly. He was afraid that he hoped to find some way to deal with the Death Omen Star from the ruins of ancient wizards.

But let's be honest, the most valuable thing in the entire ancient ruins should be the Lost Lock.

But a single lock can't deal with the Omen Star!

Judging from the initial judgment, this is only a city inhabited by ancient wizards, not a strategic fortress, and the mysterious lock here may not have a strong attack ability.

Another important point is how did this ancient city with the protection of [Lost Lock] fall?

What makes this place full of ghosts?

Stephen looked up at the sky, then turned and returned to his tent.

At this time, it is impossible to let him follow behind to watch the play, if the mystery lock here is still active, the people of the Fifth Ring Tower will not be able to enter the core area for a while, and if you want to explore this ancient ruin, you will have to go out in person in the end.

A flash of inspiration emerged.

Stephen's body instantly appeared with a gorgeous dragon skin robe, he first blessed himself with a high-level camouflage technique, and then cast a high-level stealth technique and anti-detection aura, with the faint fluctuation of the air, his figure quickly disappeared into the camp. Stephen had always been curious about where the origins of the Aboriginal wizards were, as there were many spells that were exactly the same as those he mastered.

Now it's time to explore the origins of ancient wizards!
