Chapter 48: Ruins

Six days later, Xu also appeared on an unnamed island about 200 kilometers northwest of the space island where the overseas base is located.

"Where are the ruins?" As soon as the magic airship stopped, Xu Yi asked Santander, the commander of the magic airship that had brought them here.

This small island is small enough to be seen from the air, but it is not too unusual.

"Look ......over there, Sir," Santander pointed through the porthole of the magic airship to the middle of the island. "See? There are a few very thick trees there, and what we found that looked like ruins was just under those trees.

"Well, then get ready for action. Xu Yi nodded, turned around and looked around, seeing Akali with an excited and expectant expression, and Elder Wendini with a much more dignified expression. "Elder Wentiny, you are more familiar with these ruins, is there anything you need to explain?"

This time, Xu Yi led the team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to leave the main base, and the purpose of the bright face was to go to the Demon Cloud Continent to personally guide the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the Demon Cloud Continent.

But the secret purpose, one is to come to this overseas research base where Akali is located, to pay a visit, and by the way, to inquire about the progress of the research, and the other is to come to explore the ruins of the Abyss Demon Clan in this area.

The first time Xu Yi heard about the Abyss Demon Clan was from Camilla's Magister, but then he knew more deeply from Kassandra.

But if it was really a preliminary understanding, it was through Elder Wentini.

Even among the elven tribes in the entire Sainz continent, the Aysara tribe is the most complete clan, and it also has part of the inheritance of the elven royal court. Naturally, he knew more about the history of this continent than the other elves.

When Xu also tentatively asked Elder Wendini about the Abyss Demon Clan. But he received a detailed answer that was far beyond his imagination.

Based on information provided by Elder Wendini. The Abyss Demon Race is indeed a powerful race that ruled the entire Sainz Continent before the Elven Race.

Later, due to internal turmoil, the Abyss Demon Clan suffered a large number of casualties, so that the population was greatly reduced, and even almost wiped out.

It is said that the remaining abyssal demons relied on their powerful abilities to reach the depths of the Endless Sea, and then opened the portal to another world and left this world. Never been seen since.

As for the possibility that the Abyss Demon Race may have returned from another world, Elder Wentini said that the probability is very low.

Because the Abyss Demon Clan has been away from this world for more than 10,000 years, if they have the ability or willingness to come back, they will come back a long time ago.

Since there has been no news of the Abyss Demons appearing in this world for such a long time, it can be assumed that they have completely disappeared.

This answer disappointed Xu Yi.

Through the various rumors about the Abyss Demon Race, as well as the records about the Abyss Demon Race within the Elf Race, Xu Yi is almost certain that this so-called Abyss Demon Race is actually a race with a highly developed civilization and strong technical capabilities.

It's just the "Doomsday War" recorded in the legend of the elves about the abyss demons. This is already fully reflected.

In the description of this "doomsday war", quite a few words indicate this. The so-called Doomsday War is the civil war of the Abyss Demon Clan, which uses the most powerful weapon at his disposal, and as a result, most of the Abyss Demon Clan are directly killed, so the population will drop sharply.

And it is precisely for this reason that the Abyss Demon Clan will leave this world through the portal.

In the few words of the record and the legend that is obviously speculative, it is clear that the Abyss Demon Clan feels that this world is no longer suitable for them to live, so they will leave.

This so-called "Doomsday War" can't help but remind Xu Yi of the apocalyptic scenes described in many literary novels on Earth.

Isn't the legendary "most powerful weapon" the same as the nuclear weapons on Earth?

In novels, movies, etc. on the earth, there have been countless fantasies about the outbreak of a nuclear war on the earth, and then the entire earth falls into the apocalypse, and human beings have lost their living space and can only survive.

Isn't the record of the Abyss Demon Clan very close to this?

As a result, Xu Yi's interest in this abyss demon clan became even stronger.

It just so happened that Elder Wendini also provided Xu Yi with a pleasantly surprised news at this time-the elves actually knew about the relics left by the Abyss Demon Clan!

According to Elder Wentini's explanation, the elves appeared on this continent more than 10,000 years ago, but after they appeared, they have been enslaved by the abyss demons to help them do the lowest level of physical work.

And after the Doomsday War, when the participating Abyss demons decided to leave this continent that was not suitable for them to live in, they also asked the elves to help them build a portal, so the ancestors of the elves left some records.

However, most of these accounts are passed down by word of mouth, and the authenticity is not high.

However, some of them are certain, because all the accounts of the legends are very close.

In this part, most of the content is a description of the Abyss Demon Race when they left this world.

And among these descriptions, the most important thing is that the ancestors of the elven clan actually left the location of the abyss demon portal.

After spending some time studying this matter with Elder Wentini, Xu Yi roughly determined the location of the portal where the Abyss Demon Clan had left this world in the first place—near the sea where Sky Island was located.

Akali originally chose Space Island as the address of the overseas research base, in addition to the fact that this location is indeed suitable as the placement point of the first high-altitude levitating magic signal landmark, a large part of the reason is Xu Yi's private request.

Xu Yi didn't explain to Akali why he did this before, but when Xu Yi explained the matter of the "Abyss Demon Clan" to Akali six days ago, he told her everything.

Akali is originally a character who likes to explore and pursue new things, and after learning such a novel thing, it is natural that she will follow her.

"There's nothing to explain. Elder Wendini shook his head. "The Abyss Demon Clan has been out of this world for 10,000 years, and even if there is any mechanism, it must have already been invalidated by now. Of course, you can't go wrong with being careful. ”

"Well, that's it. Xu Yi thought about it and found that there was nothing to add, so he waved his hand. "Let's go, but remember to do what I told you and be careful. ”

The group responded in unison, forming a small team and cautiously leaving the magic airship.

At the front of the team are two elven warriors and two magicians from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, with the super sensing ability of the elves and the sensitivity of human magicians to the environment, even if there is any accident, they can react immediately, and can also detect some abnormal states in advance.

Xu Yi and Elder Wendini, the most powerful members of the team, are also cohesive spirits, controlling the surrounding magical space in their own senses, and will react immediately if something happens.

However, it turned out that they were a little too careful.

From the edge of the beach where the magic airship was located, to the location of the large trees in the center of the island, the team did not encounter the slightest accident at all, let alone danger, except for some beasts that did not have long eyes.

Of course, if it was really that dangerous, the team sent to explore it before would not be able to find the ruins so easily.

In a few moments, the group arrived safely under the extraordinarily thick trees.

Xu Yi saw at a glance that there was a clearing under those big trees that was obviously beneficial to the surrounding environment.

The open space is in a boxy shape, all of which are paved with some special stone, completely isolating the lawn next to it, and it looks very abrupt at first glance.

And in this stone clearing, about the size of a basketball court, stands a stout pillar.

The pillar was even thicker than the tree next to it, which had to be surrounded by two people, and the texture on the surface looked a little like stone, but some like metal, and it was impossible to see at a glance.

The surface of the column is extremely smooth and has no gaps, and it looks like it is artificial.

The pillar is about ten meters high, and at the top is a ball of unusually standard shape, the material is slightly different from the pillar, and the color is closer to the metal.

But other than that, there is nothing special about this bead.

"Elder Wentiny, do you know what this is?" Xu Yi asked.

Elder Wendini shook his head, "I don't know. In the records that have been handed down, it is only said that there are ruins, but there are no more descriptions. I guess...... At that time, the ancestors of the elf clan didn't know what these things were and how they worked. ”

Xu Yi nodded in agreement.

The ancestors of the elf clan tens of thousands of years ago only just appeared on this continent, and they have always been used by the abyss demon clan as an effort, so naturally they don't know too much about the civilization knowledge of the abyss demon clan, and it is natural not to know this.

"There's not even a single magic pattern on it, what the hell is it for?" Akali patted the pillar, which didn't move.

"The things used by the Abyss Demons are not necessarily magic. Xu Yi shook his head with a smile, and then his heart moved, but he walked to the edge of the pillar and slapped it.

Akali gave him a blank look: "Don't you think you're deceiving yourself when you say that the Abyss Demon Clan doesn't use magic, but you still use magic to detect?"

Xu Yi smiled: "That's not necessarily. ”

The magic power in his body moved, and he began to condense the magic elements of the surrounding magic space into the pillar.

Although the technology used by the Abyss Demon may have nothing to do with magic, no matter what, it is just a use of energy.

Magic happens to be a special way of using energy, and the biggest feature is that it is very flexible.

Of course, Xu Yi didn't know what this pillar originally did, but if he used magic to probe it, there was still hope. (To be continued.) )
