The huge tower stood in the light mist, looking down on the island alone for an unknown number of thousands of years, accompanied only by the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And today, a group of uninvited guests broke the silence and opened the dusty door.

In the angelical singing of the silver-haired girl, the dark golden runes lit up one by one, and when all the runes were lit, they began to flicker rhythmically like an invisible hand commanding.

When the song ends, all the runes go out at the same time, and then ......

The sound of the "rumbling" mechanism stopped, and the dark golden door was open, like a big mouth of a black hole, waiting for the people who threw themselves into the net.

"Do you want me to go in first?" Lancelot asked.

"Wait." As he spoke, Chen Yin summoned the wolverine and commanded the little guy to carefully walk into the darkness......

Although the Wolverine does not have the vision sharing skills similar to that of a lark, its night vision ability is still good, coupled with its small size, agility and agility, so it is not very dangerous to find a way.

With the vague information from the soul link, Chen Yin found that this hall seemed to be flat, as if it was a bare hall.

"It's strange......" Chen Yin whispered to himself.

"There's nothing in there." Chen Yin suddenly frowned, "Wait, it seems to be ...... here." Hey? ”

Just when Chen Yin seemed to have discovered something, the soul link was suddenly broken.

"What's wrong?" Lancelot saw that Chen Yin's face was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"Soul Link...... Broken. Chen Yin said with a dark face.

"Is it in danger?" Lancelot asked.

Chen Yin shook his head slowly: "No, it didn't see anything before the link was disconnected, it should have suddenly lost contact in the middle of the hall." ”

"Have you ever been in a similar situation?" Chen Yin was a little worried about the little guy.

Lancelot and Angel both shook their heads slightly, while Uncle Tim glanced at Aunt Gia, as if he had something to say.

"Uncle, just say something." Chen Yin found Uncle Tim who was about to speak, "When we don't have a clue at all, it's helpful to do anything." ”

Aunt Jiya nodded, and Uncle Tim said slowly: "We have encountered similar things, but the situation at that time has been classified as top secret by the church, I don't know if we can say it now......"

"It doesn't matter." Angel said.

"Well, since Her Highness has said so......," said Uncle Tim, recounting what had happened to them:

“…… A large-scale conflict with the Shadow Church broke out, and our minions suddenly disappeared on a large scale and were reverted to cards, and after later investigation, it was discovered that they used some kind of technology similar to 'Spiritual Storm' to extract the soul energy from the cards. ”

"Of course, we didn't feel any spiritual pressure fluctuations just now, so I can't guarantee if it's a similar situation." After saying that, the uncle suggested again: "Why don't you summon another servant to try?" ”

"Okay." For this unknown situation, Chen Yin has nothing to do.

Uncle Tim and Aunt Gia don't have the ability to summon minions, so Chen Yin was about to take out another servant card, but was stopped by Lancelot.

"I'll do it anyway."

With that, Lancelot summoned a shield guard, and Angel added him the Divine Word Technique: Tenacity and Holy Shield.

With such defensive power, even if you hit a certain mechanism, I believe you won't be killed in seconds...... At least let Chen Yin and them know if there is any danger inside.

Although the shield guard's defense is much higher than that of the wolverine, he does not have night vision, so the time to explore the path is much longer than that of the wolverine.

However, according to Chen Yin's hundreds of millions of pathfinders, they slowly circled from the outside to the inside in a spiral manner, approaching little by little the place where the wolverine had disconnected before......

Time passed minute by minute.

Chen Yin and the others could only stand here quietly and wait for Lancelot's result.

Suddenly, the paladin's face moved.

"Got a result?" Chen Yin hurriedly asked.

"Well, as in your previous situation, the soul link was suddenly broken." Lancelot's answer also made Chen Yin and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as this situation is repeatable, it means that there should be no danger anywhere else but in between.

After a little discussion, the group still took Lancelot as the vanguard, carrying torches and going first, while everyone followed behind.

After discussing for a long time, the plan was finally prepared, and several people held torches and carried the light ball of illumination, and cautiously stepped into the dark gate.

And then......

…… The lights are on.

A soft white light poured down from the ceiling, illuminating the entire hall and making the crowd holding torches look particularly incongruous.

"Ahem...... Uh, take it, it smells bad. Chen Yin coughed twice, quickly extinguished the torches, and put them away.

"It's embarrassing...... Thankfully, no one saw it. Lancelot muttered quietly, slung the hammer back to his waist, and extinguished his torch.

Unlike the exterior of this stone tower, the style of this hall is very similar to the one that Chen Yin and the others had first entered the ruins, with heavy stones on the floor under their feet, and the surrounding walls seemed to be of an unknown metal texture.

However, unlike the previous hall, there is a huge pool in the center of the hall, which is not high on the outer edge, about 20 centimeters, and filled with that gray seawater.

Everyone cautiously came to the pool, bent down and picked up two cards scattered on the ground, and saw that the cards were indeed the wolverine and shield guard who had come in earlier.

“…… This pool has quirkiness. Uncle Tim's face was wary, "It can actually shield spiritual pressure!" ”

"It's a forbidden magic field." Angel suddenly replied, "It turns out that the source of this technology is here......"

Angel said thoughtfully.

"Huh? Have a study of this church as well? Chen Yin was also curious.

"Well, the forbidden magic force field is actually one of the Shadow Church's housekeeping skills, but fortunately, most of our Holy Light Church's combat power does not rely on the application of spiritual pressure, so this technology is not a threat to us......"

"But this is the first time I've learned that the forbidden magic field is related to ancient ruins...... It seems that the Church of Shadows also controls at least one ruin. ”

"Whether they control the ruins or not, that's not something we need to care about right now." Chen Yin said, tearing off a small piece of charred animal skin from the torch and throwing it into the pool.

The charred hides fell on the calm waters, causing ripples.

Like the corpses of the small beasts that were used as test objects by Chen Yin before, the charred animal skin was quickly corroded by the gray seawater, and the animal skin seemed to evaporate out of thin air, leaving a strange stench still in the air left by the prince.

"It looks like the gray water is the same as the one outside...... Hey? Chen Yin wanted to say something, but when he noticed the ring on his left hand, he suddenly forgot everything he wanted to say.

On his card ring, the soul crystals that had been lit up were all extinguished at some point!

"This!?" Chen Yin took a few steps back.

It seemed that he had been too close before, and the forbidden magic force field enveloped him, and before Chen Yin could react, the soul crystal that was activated on the card ring was extinguished.

"Sure enough, it's a forbidden magic field." Angel said, throwing the illuminated ball of light that he had summoned earlier into the forbidden magic field, and then the small ball that emitted a soft light seemed to hit an invisible wall, and disappeared in the moment it passed, as if it had never appeared.

“…… What do we do next? Chen Yin asked.

He didn't know anything about it, especially now that there was no clue, so he could only rely on the information in Angel's mind.

"I don't know." The silver-haired girl said lightly.

"Okay, I'll rest for a while, and I'll talk about it when I wake up." Chen Yin stretched widely, took out a supply box and threw it in the corner, then sat down against the cold metal wall and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"......" Everyone looked at each other, and they could only sigh, and they all looked for a place to rest.

After walking in the gray fog forest for so long before, coupled with two consecutive 4-hour rowing, everyone's physical exertion was close to the limit, and now they finally arrived at this natural shelter without danger, and they couldn't find clues anyway, so it would not be wrong to take a rest first.

Chen Yin, who was sitting on the supply box, couldn't sleep at all, although his eyes were closed.

Everything he had just experienced replayed in his mind like a movie.

The gray mist forest that is not suitable for human life, the mysterious ruins, the sea of fog that seems to have passed through space, and this huge stone tower that was built here by a civilization some time ago......

All the experiences and details were replayed in Chen Yin's mind one after another, and he always felt that something was wrong.

I just thought about it half-asleep and half-awake, and I don't know how long it took......

In the quiet hall, the soft light is always on, neither dazzling nor too dark. In such a soft light, except for Lancelot, who was keeping vigil, the others closed their eyes tiredly, and they didn't know whether they were dreaming or waking.

Suddenly, Chen Yin sat up violently and yelled: "Witch! ”

"What!?" Angel, who was sleeping in a daze, was startled, opened her eyes and looked at Chen Yin in confusion, a trace of silver hair wrapped around the corners of her mouth, looking cute and cute.

And Aunt Jiya and Uncle Tim obviously didn't sleep to death, and after hearing Chen Yin's shout, they calmly opened their eyes and looked at Chen Yin.

"What's wrong, Your Excellency? What happened to the witch? Lancelot is the most sober person, and he is the only one who can hear what Chen Yin is saying.

"I mean, witch." Chen Yin pointed to the ground under his feet, "Didn't we always find traces of witches before?" The charcoal-fired thorns, the spiritual voltage conversion device, and even the fact that we can get to this small island are not also followed by the guidance of the witch? ”

"But once we landed on the island, did you find any signs of witches? No, there is no trace. Chen Yin pointed to the hall, "A witch in such an obvious hall will never miss this clue, but have you found any traces of a witch here?" ”

"Maybe we're in the wrong place, but I think we'd better go back to the shallow beach we just came up and maybe rediscover some clues that we didn't notice before." After Chen Yin finished speaking, before he could sit down again, his stomach rang......

"Gollum ......"

"Uh...... After we rest, of course. Chen Yin scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Well, I agree." Angel nodded, "Christian knows more about the ruins than we do, and she has more complete information, so since there is no evidence of her appearance here, it may be a good idea to think differently." ”

Since Chen Yin and Angel both said so, the other three also nodded.

Next, Chen Yin and the others ate something in this hall, rearranged the order of the night watch, and then slept peacefully.

10 hours later.

The crowd that had taken turns resting cheered up and walked out of the hall.

When the last person came out of the hall, the soft light that had been accompanying Chen Yin and the others suddenly went out, and the entire hall fell into the darkness that could not be seen.

"Automatic...... Hehe. Chen Yin stretched, took a deep breath of the humid air, and put the mask on again. It wasn't comfortable sleeping before, and there was no fog in the hall, so he took off his mask.

"Everyone, bring them with you, just in case."

For Chen Yin's suggestion, everyone happily accepted, even Angel only hesitated slightly, but Chen Yin's sentence "just in case" moved her and put the mask back on.

Outside the tower, the mist remains.

The sky was still so dark, and the visibility was still not high, but the black stone road under your feet was very eye-catching, like a zigzag black line, stretching into the distance.

Due to the fog, the coastline cannot be seen from the top of this mountain, but the sound of "whooshing" waves still fills the eardrums.

"Let's go." Chen Yin greeted and took the lead to walk down the mountain.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain and hard to go down, in fact, the difficulty of going down the mountain is mainly dangerous, when you go up the mountain, you can grab something easily, and when you go down the mountain, it is easy to roll all the way down the mountain.

The stone road was very slippery in the fog, which also slowed down the descent of the mountain a little. But the distance was so far that it didn't take half an hour for everyone to return to the beach they had been on.

However, when they found the place where the boat had been parked, everyone's cold hairs stood on end!

Because......

…… The ship is gone!

"How could it be gone!? It's still there before! Lancelot was shocked.

"Will it evaporate like before?" Angel thought for a moment and said.

"Nope." Chen Yin picked up the oars of the boat with a grim face, "Perhaps, there is something else here!" ”
