Because of the Bloodline's dislike of the White Swan Castle, the person in charge of receiving visitors is only the ordinary housekeeper of the White Swan Castle.

For a nobleman, this kind of behavior is a bit rude, but the visitors are all scholars engaged in research, and in their minds, studying ancient ruins is far more important than exchanging feelings with noble lords, so the practice of the Kuifan family did not cause any dissatisfaction.

When Leo and Sylvia arrived at the White Swan Castle, some of the invited scholars had already arrived, and they had already made their way to the site of the tower's foundations, led by the castle's servants.

After getting out of the carriage, Leo and Sylvia handed the invitation to the servant of the castle, and after checking the authenticity of the invitation, another servant led them into the castle and down the stone steps on the side of the hall to the basement.

Prior to this, both Leo and Sylvia had read the information about the foundation of the tower under the White Swan Castle, and knew that in order to facilitate the study of the ruins of this tower, the Kuifan family kept the ruins as much as possible in the state when they were discovered, and in order to ensure that the construction of the castle did not affect the ruins, they also used a large number of columns to erect the foundation of the castle, so as to ensure the integrity of the ruins.

It's just that no matter how detailed the description of what you see from the data, it is far less than what you see on the spot.

After walking down the spiral staircase for about ten meters, you will open a wooden door and enter the ruins of the tower.

I saw that the whole underground is a man-made cave with a diameter of about two kilometers, and all the huge ten pieces around the cave are neatly piled up, and dozens of stone pillars are scattered all over the cave, supporting the foundation of the castle at the top of the cave, because the stone of the cave is also made of light-absorbing stones, and it is one with the castle outside, so the light absorbed by the castle outside is also transferred here, emitting it, and illuminating the cave that should be gloomy and dark as bright as the outside.

In this environment, the remains of the towers at the bottom of the cave are clearly visible, not only of the main buildings, but also of the mysterious symbols on the walls.

In order to facilitate researchers to observe the ruins of the tower as a whole, craftsmen hired by the Kuifan family specially erected a plank path along the surrounding walls, and researchers could walk along the plank road around the cave to see the entire tower ruins from above.

At this moment, many scholars who specialize in enriching the study of ancient ruins have entered the ruins of the tower below, and according to their own methods to study the mysterious symbols, architectural structures, and causes of destruction in this ruins, in fact, these contents have been studied by scholars in the past, and the parts that can be excavated have also been excavated, so it stands to reason that there should be no more valuable things to guess correctly.

But this was not the case, and just as Leo and Sylvia arrived, there were scholars who let out a cry of surprise from the ruins.

It turned out that this scholar had also participated in the study of this ruin before, and specially found a ruin full of various symbols to study the meaning of the symbols, so he copied all the symbols, and carefully marked the exact location of each symbol, and even painted the ruins he studied with his superb painting ability.

For this scholar, he knew more about the ruins than about his home, but just now he found that the various symbols on the ruins had changed, not only a large number of symbols that had not been seen before, but also the positions of some symbols.

Not only this scholar, but also other people who had participated in the study of the tower's ruins also found that the ruins they had previously studied had changed, and from their survey of the site, they had found no signs of falsification, and the corrosion marks on the surface of the ruins showed that they were naturally formed.

All kinds of novel discoveries also made the researchers of these ancient ruins become excited, and they devoted themselves to the study of the ruins.

Compared to these pure scholars of ancient civilizations, Leo and Sylvia are obviously more like two outliers.

After they came to this place, they did not rush down the ruins below like other scholars, but walked leisurely along the plank road like two tourists visiting the museum, and stopped from time to time to look at a certain piece of ruins that were being studied by scholars below.

"It's so weird!" Sylvia whispered beside Leo, "It is rumored that the Blood Clan does not care about this ruin, and even more sneers at the treasure in the ruins, but now, those rumors are obviously problematic, judging from the scale of protection here, the Blood Clan attaches great importance to this place, and even I suspect that the White Swan Castle above was also repaired for this ruin." ”

"What do you think the Bloods want from this?" asked Leo after a moment of deep thought.

"I don't know. Sylvia shook her head, then pointed to the scholars below, and said, "But I know the answer lies in these witchcraft runes and Turing roots. ”

Leo was noncommittal to Sylvia's speculation and continued along the boardwalk, but after walking one end of the distance, he stopped again and looked down at the ruins.

Ilan was recording the changing symbols on the ruins with several library scholars, and her mind was all on the ruins, not realizing that Leo was standing above him.

"Ylang of the library, a good scholar. Sylvia walked up to Leo and easily recognized the person below, saying, "It's a pity that she studied under the Bishuus school, which is too rigid and only suitable for some data collectors, and it is difficult to make any academic breakthroughs." ”

"Let's go, go down and have a look. Leo gestured to Sylvia, then jumped straight off the boardwalk, landing firmly on the ground.

Sylvia followed, her body slowing down as she fell, and she didn't have any power to fall when her feet landed on the ground, as if she was pacing lightly in place.

The two did not disturb the library scholar who was quietly researching, and they walked up to a broken wall and looked at it.

Sylvia wasn't interested in any of these things, and she didn't see anything useful, and the symbols on them seemed to her as if they were a foreign language she had never touched, so she looked at them for a moment before turning to look at the other ruins.

Compared to Sylvia, Leo's situation is not much better.

Originally, Leo thought that with his own ability, even if he could not fully decipher the symbols and Turing roots on the walls of this ruin, he would be able to find some clues to interpret them.

But now after seeing these symbols and Turing roots up close, Leo found that he couldn't use what he had learned before, the symbols themselves were completely wrong, and the combinations were chaotic, and even the Turing roots were randomly combined, not following the most basic rules of combination at all.

If it was all there was to it, Leo might have thought that it was a shack forged by someone who didn't know anything, and that it was worthless to study, and that the entire ruin was nothing more than a scam by the Bloodline, but what baffled him was that the ruins were emitting faint energy fluctuations, and the source of these energy fluctuations was the symbols and Turing roots that he thought were all wrong.

This anomaly almost caused Leo to think that what he had learned was wrong, but he quickly detached himself from the effects of this anomaly, calmed down, and revisited the Turing root remnant symbols, which were full of errors and contradictions.

It occurred to him that under normal circumstances, these symbols full of chaos, disorder, and error, as well as Turing roots, would never be able to generate these energies, but there was a place where these symbols and Turing roots could generate different powers, and this place was the abyss.

The abyss itself is distorted, chaotic, and disordered, and these symbols and Turing roots, which seem to make no sense at all, may be able to produce magical effects in the abyss.

"Perhaps these symbols and Turing roots were originally normal, but then they became distorted by the power of the Abyss. A bold guess suddenly appeared in Leo's mind.

"Mr. Leo, when are you here?" Elan had just finished copying some of the symbols around the corner, she stood up and moved her body, and just in time to see Leo standing in front of the broken wall, she immediately stepped forward and asked.

"It hasn't been long since I arrived. Leo replied simply.

At this time, Sylvia also walked over, nodded at Ylan, and then asked Leo, "Did you find anything?"

"It's a little bit of a discovery. Leo nodded affirmatively, and then said what he had just discovered and guessed.

"Abyss?" both Sylvia and Ylan exclaimed in unison, but the meaning of their exclamations was completely different.

Sylvia didn't expect that the power of the abyss was also involved here, she was more surprised, while Ilan was completely at a loss and didn't know what the abyss was.

"Are you sure it's the forces of the abyss at work?" Sylvia asked in a confirmed manner.

"I think so. Leo wasn't entirely sure, he thought for a moment, and suddenly asked Ilan, "Miss Elan, have the symbols that appeared in this area been recorded by your library all along?"

"Yes. Ylan didn't know why Leo suddenly asked such a question, but he nodded truthfully.

Leo asked, "Do you have the previous records with you now?"

"Yes. Yilan nodded and said, "I'll go get it for you." ”

With that, she turned around and went to the place where the package was placed, then searched inside the package, pulled out a stack of achievement documents, and turned two pages to confirm that it was correct, before walking over to Leo.

After taking the file, Leo quickly flipped through a few pages and quickly found what he was looking for.

"Look at these copied symbols and patterns. Leo spread out the information in his hand so that the two people next to him could see it, and then pointed out some of the information he had just found and said.

The two looked at the place Leo had pointed out, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Leo had expected such a reaction from the two, so he walked over to the broken wall, drew a position on the broken wall with his fingers, and said, "Compare the two." ”

The two of them compared the information in the book according to the place pointed out by Leo, and soon Sylvia found something, and there was a little surprise on her face,

Ylan didn't see anything at first, but after Sylvia reached out and drew a few strokes on the symbol on the wall, she quickly understood what was going on, and said in surprise, "This is a variant of the symbol?"

After being surprised, Ylang found out several distorted variants of the original symbols in the materials through comparative methods.

"What's going on, why are these symbols distorted?" Just as Ilan's mind was full of doubts and she wanted to ask Leo, Sylvia had already asked her question.

"It must have something to do with the vision from half a year ago?" Leo replied briefly, then said to Sylvia, "Let's go! Then he said to Yilan very seriously: "A friendly suggestion for you, you'd better pack up your things and leave immediately, don't study these things here anymore, these things don't have any research value, but will have a bad impact on you." ”

With that, Leo led Sylvia to turn away from the ruins and walk towards the rest of the site.

Seeing Leo suddenly leave inexplicably, and said something like that, Yilan was completely at a loss, but at the same time, she instinctively felt a trace of danger, so she decided to follow Leo's advice, stop researching, and leave here.

However, when it came time to leave, something went wrong, and her colleagues all fell into an obsession with research, believing that these never-before-seen symbols and patterns were of great research value, and that if they could decipher their meanings, they might be able to make a name for themselves in the academic world, and none of them had any intention of leaving her.

Seeing that all her companions had fallen into a state of obsession with research, Yilan, who was also a researcher, knew that there must be no way to pull them, which made her want to stay with them, and when they were eating, she would persuade them again to see if she could succeed.

But when she moved the idea of staying, that strong sense of crisis appeared in her heart again, she didn't know how this sense of crisis came about, but she knew very well that it was not an illusion.

For this reason, Yilan persuaded her companion again, but the result was still the same, and she also felt that she had fulfilled her obligation to remind, even if something happened, she would not feel guilty about it, so she quickly packed her bags and hurriedly left the ruins.

And when she climbed the spiral staircase and couldn't see the ruins, the sense of crisis that suffocated her disappeared, and she was convinced that she had made the right decision.
