"You say they're going to stay in Cartier for a few more days?" the queen looked back slowly, looking at Cornelia in some surprise.

"Yes, that's what they said. ”

"Why? Aren't the negotiations over? Or do they have new ideas?"

"Say yes...... I felt that the climate in Cartier was very comfortable and wanted to stay longer. ”

"Comfortable climate?" the Queen's eyebrows furrowed, "If they want to take a walk, I can understand that." Comfortable climate? Does that mean they're not going out, they're just staying here, right?"

"I think that's what it means. Cornelia replied.

The queen's eyes slowly narrowed into slits, and she said to herself, "There must be a problem." The scale of Giant Snake City is not small, and as the city lord, he is definitely not idle to the point where he has nothing to deal with at home, and can stay here and enjoy a comfortable climate. Those lichs can cast spatial spells, and I guess he's probably not in Cartier anymore. If not in Cartier...... So where will he go with his time in Cartier? What is the difference between pretending to stay in Cartier and going back directly...... Yes, since he's still in Cartier, he can talk to me again. Therefore, the purpose of pretending to stay in Cartier must have something to do with negotiations. They're going straight to excavating the ruins of Krimasha?"

The queen looked at Cornelia in dismay.

Cornelia nodded hesitantly and said, "It's possible." ”

"Excavate the ruins of Krimasha...... Which Kryma ruins will they open?" the queen hesitated, "Andrew happens to be excavating the Kryma ruins, will they collide with each other?"

......

At dusk, when Jones's team appeared near the 11th Kryma ruins in the Gustavian Empire, the invading Lombard soldiers had not yet withdrawn. However, it seems that the order to retreat has been received, and the camp is being pulled.

"Do we need to wait for them to leave?" asked Adair.

Standing on the top of the hill, Jones looked at the camp from afar and whispered, "No, no. They can't pose a threat. Adar, just keep an eye on them and make sure they retreat as promised. Time is of the essence, and we are now preparing to enter the ruins. ”

"Okay, then come on. ”

Leaving the top of the mountain, led by the Wood Elves who were the vanguard spies, Jones, Lucy, and Dora arrived about five kilometers away from the camp.

It was a dense coniferous forest covered with snow on the plains. On the surface, it looks almost indistinguishable from a normal taiga.

The leading wood elf led Jones and the others under a large tree, and then reached out to remove the snow and sand from the base of the tree. Soon, a gray stone brick was revealed.

"This is the ruins?"

"Yes, it's all underground. There were not even ruins on the ground. If it's a city ruin, there should be traces on the ground. At present, it appears to cover an area of at least fifty square kilometres. The entrance is unknown, the depth is unknown. We found a gouged-out entrance in front, but when we got inside, we found that it was a dead end. ”

"Take me there. ”

"Good. ”

Led by the Wood Elves, Jones and his party walked about a kilometer. There are dense woods along the way, and if you dig down a meter or so, you can occasionally come across sealed stone bricks. It's just a coincidence. The upper platform of the ruins does not appear to be a flat surface, but rather an irregular shape. Some places, like the one under the roots that Jones saw at the beginning, were actually above the ground, and could be seen at a glance if they were not covered by the roots. In some places, you can't see stone bricks even if you dig five meters down. The secret archives of the Holy See are also very vaguely written, with no further information other than the location.

Finally, they came to a slope.

"This is it. ”

Following the direction pointed by the wood elves, a small protrusion on the slope. It was a broken stone wall, and a pit had been dug out. By this time it was completely dark, and the pit was so dark that nothing could be seen.

Standing at the mouth of the tunnel, Jones opened his mouth slightly and emitted a sound wave. Soon, the outline of the inside of the tunnel came to his mind.

Inside, it looks like a cloister, a simple structure. Some places seem to have collapsed. Indeed, there is nothing wrong with a dead end at both ends.

"There's no other entrance, right?" Jones asked.

The Wood Elf nodded, "Nothing else found." These walls don't look like they're magically blessed, and they should be able to be broken. However, without your orders, we do not dare to act at will. ”

Bowing his head slightly, he stepped forward and walked in. Behind her, Dora also walked in with her head bowed. The Wood Elves and Lucy had to bend down to get in.

The gap that has been broken is small, but the space inside is not small.

In the darkness, the elves lit the hyacinth. All of a sudden, the surroundings lit up.

It is a long passage, four meters high and eight meters wide, and the length is not visible at a glance. The feet are made of hard stone bricks, and the walls are also made of stone bricks. The whole appears to be made of the same stone bricks. There are no murals or texts in sight.

Jones held out a hand towards the wood elf: "Give me the fire hyacinth, you go out first." ”

"Shall I go out?" the Wood Elf casually handed the Hyacinth over.

"You haven't been in there yet, so you can't help. And if there's danger, we can't take care of you. ”

"Okay, then I'll go first. Lord Castle. The Wood Elf bowed, then turned and slipped through the gap again.

Only Jones, Dora, and Lucy are left in the tunnel.

Jones looked at Lucy and asked, "Aunt Lucy, can you sense what's behind the wall?"

Lucy stood quietly, the soul fire in her eyes trembling slightly. After a while, he whispered, "There's a magic source in it." ”

"Magic source?" Jones paused.

Clearly, Jones didn't fully understand what Lucy was seeing. So, Lucy simply put a hand on Jones's shoulder armor.

Suddenly, Jones saw a picture in front of his eyes that he had never seen before.

The whole world suddenly became "transparent", yes, "transparent". But it's not the usual kind of transparency.

Everything around him vanished, and Jones seemed to be in a dark, boundless space. He could see that there was a large, glowing spot tilting forward thirty degrees from his position, about five kilometers or so. It's like a sun. But not as hot and harsh as the sun, but mild. Around this point, dozens of dots about its tenth size are suspended.

The dots are arranged in a certain pattern. Between the dots, there are tiny threads connecting them, and magic flows through them.

At the same time, in Jones's field of vision, the wood elf outside the gap behind him became a small bright spot like a star, Dora next to him became a slightly larger bright spot, and Jones himself was a larger bright spot than Dora. Lucy, on the other hand, completely disappeared from Jones's vision.

As Lucy withdrew her hand, Jones' vision returned to normal.

"It's ......"

"Magic perception, I suppressed the magic so you shouldn't be able to see me. Perspective magic can't be used here, only magic perception magic can be used. With that, Lucy walked to the wall and reached out and gently stroked the stone wall: "It's true that this wall has no magic, but it has materials that prevent perspective magic. Not your average anti-perspective magic material. I can't even see through it. ”

"Even Aunt Lucy can't see through?" Jones was shocked.

"Yes, I can't see through either. And I can guarantee that none of the lichs in the Bone Light Holy See will be able to cast perspective magic on it. ”

"Then why does Magical Perception work?"

"I don't know about that, I have to go back and study it. ”

Hearing this, Jones smiled slowly, looked at the stone bricks on the wall with some incredulity, and said, "So, there are really treasures in the ruins." Even the walls are treasures?"

Dora's eyes widened in surprise.

"I want to ...... Right. Lucy hesitated in reply.

"But if that's the case, why didn't Heaven and Hell destroy the ruins directly, and if they wanted the contents of the ruins, they should have unearthed them a long time ago. But they didn't. If they don't want it, why should they leave this relic behind?"

"I don't know. Perceiving it carefully, Lucy said, "This magic source is a bit big, it may be the largest magic source I've ever seen." ”

"Is it bigger than that magic source at the top of the dragon?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen that magic source. I happened to be in the Soul Crate during the Battle of the Top of the Dragon. However, the largest magic source is the light magic source, which is larger than Jeremy's own magic source, that's for sure. ”

Jeremy was the leader who led the Angel Legion against Gray in the Battle of Salted Fish Harbor and negotiated with Richie as a Messenger of Heaven in the Battle of the Top of the Dragon. Among the heavenly forces in the entire Celtic continent, it is second only to the Holy Spirit.

"So, there's either a very powerful magic array in there, or there's a very powerful person?" Jones asked.

"I'm more inclined to be a powerful magic array. Lucy replied.

"Okay, I see. Jones took a step back and said, "Aunt Lucy, please break through the wall." Please try to control the force, what is inside we still want. ”

Dora quietly stepped aside.

"Good. Lucy slowly raised her hand, stretched out five bony paws, pointed directly at the wall, and chanted the incantation.

There was a "boom", as if the whole world was shaking.

The violent air current, carrying the mud and sand, sprayed out along the gap in the tunnel, startling the wood elves at the entrance of the cave.

The smoke cleared and appeared in front of Jones, parting the unmoved wall.

"Magic doesn't work?"

"It seems to be. ”

"Amazing, do the outer stone bricks have such a big mystery? It seems that we need the secret of Krimasa more than the blood elves. ”

"Get out of the way. ”

"Good. ”

Jones and Dora obediently let go of the distance.

Lucy directly blessed herself with a ninefold giant power technique. The Ninefold Giant Force Technique is the highest limit of the blessings that the Giant Force Technique can bless.

She stepped forward, the bony fingers of both hands clasped into the cracks of the stone bricks, and then secretly exerted. However, he soon gave up: "It's useless to even bless magic, it seems to be primordial power." ”

As she spoke, Lucy looked at Jones.

Jones walked over briskly and punched the wall.

There was a muffled "boom", and the wall seemed to shake twice, but that was all.

Useful, but too little power.

"Maybe we need to find a dragon. Dora shook her head helplessly.

"Let's think of other ways, but it really doesn't work, so let Adair try it. His strength is greater than mine. Jones took the hyacinth and walked up the passage, looking around.

I have to say that this is just the beginning, and the ruins of Klima have given Jones too much shock. As you can imagine, it's full of mysteries. However, it would be embarrassing not to be able to even step into it.

"Maybe Heaven and Hell don't want to destroy this place, but they can't?" Lucy sighed, "I feel like this place is completely designed to be anti-magical." Excluding magic, Heaven and Hell are indeed not as powerful as the Dragons. ”

"Aunt Lucy, have you ever been to a human city in the days of Krimatha?" asked Jones.

"Uh...... No. I was probably over 3,000 years old at the time of Krimartha. I was a little lich back then. At that time, I was obsessed with magic, and I studied magic underground every day, and I had only heard about the things in the surface world. ”

"If you're obsessed with magic, human magic was very advanced at the time of Krimartha, so why don't you ask them for advice?"

"Because people don't go in one direction. On the basis of magic, human magic is the same as lich magic, but the advanced level is completely different. Human magic pays attention to coordination, and the magic power of a simple person is actually very limited, but it will be very powerful when cooperated. For example, the magic circle. I know that the most cumbersome magic array of human beings requires hundreds of thousands of materials. If you're just a lich, collecting hundreds of thousands of materials is an impossible task. It's a long time, and in the process, you'll keep discovering new things, overthrowing yourself, and then the magic circle will never be completed. Or even if it's done, it's out of date. However, for humans, it is possible. They would divide hundreds of thousands of materials into ten categories, then thousands of subclasses, and then mobilize entire races to complete them. In fact, they've been doing what you've asked us to do before. ”

"What did I ask you to do?"

"Magic props. I heard that the humans of Krimatha's time were very good at the use of magic. This is probably because humans are inherently more utilitarian than all species. ”

"Hehe, are you saying I'm very utilitarian?"

"I don't particularly want to say that, but it is. You are very utilitarian and have a clear purpose. The purpose of the immortal race is generally not particularly clear, because we have an infinite lifespan to squander, and if we take it too seriously, it will be very tiring. This is only the case with races that have a short lifespan, such as humans. ”

"But I'm also an immortal race. ”

"So you're an outlier. So is your father, Gray. Of course, you are more utilitarian than him. I like you guys because I can't do it myself. So I'm willing to help you guys. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Lucy. Crouching in the corner, Jones scrutinized.

It was a cavinating tunnel, a large patch of tree roots and dirt mixing together, blocking the way.

Straightening up, Jones pointed to one of the corners and said, "It's here, it's broken here, it should be a road." ”
