Chapter 1068: Personnel Missing, Aether Escaped
- "Be vigilant, let's go to the Mage Tower first!" ”
After conveying his judgment of this misty region, Xia Duo commanded Rodit and the others to march towards the mage tower where the core of the ruins was located.
Although the distance between the Mage Tower and them was less than 100 meters in everyone's view, it took them quite a while to actually rush over.
With Rodit's relics hunters exploring the way in advance, everyone knew that this misty area was actually very safe, so they flew directly with the flying magic that had not yet dissipated on their bodies.
Almost five minutes later, Rodit and his group of five arrived at the foot of the Mage Tower.
Unlike the previous humus, which was very loose, the ground here is paved entirely with regular square stone slabs.
Maybe it's because of the special environment in this area, or maybe it's been cleaned by Rodit's men before, and the ground here looks very clean, with only a thin layer of floating soil, and the patterns on the floor are clearly visible.
"Rodit, what about your remnant hunters?" Rodit's friend, Vig, the high-ranking mage of the Kieran Tower, said suddenly.
"It's also strange that I told them to wait for us in the square in front of this mage tower."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the others suddenly changed, and although Xia Duo was not present at the scene, he was also a little nervous.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for Rodit's men to betray, then there is only one possibility, and those people have suffered some kind of accident - they did not come, or they came but disappeared.
- "Let's walk together, take a circle around the square, and pay attention to the ground. Shado commanded.
Rodit and the others did so, and it didn't take much time to walk down in a circle, compared to the sudden disappearance of the relic hunter who had prepared in advance, no one cared about this time at all.
Soon, Rodit and the others came to the foot of the Mage Tower again, looking at the deep entrance of the Mage Tower, waiting for Xia Duo's explanation.
- "I don't know if you've noticed, the ground is clean, and there's no sign of anything other than you. Rodit, did your men say anything about the situation in the square? ”
"Huh?"
Rodit clenched his fists and rubbed his knuckles hard at his temples, then let out a frustrated sound, "They seem to have said that, but at the time my attention was on the inside of the Mage Tower, and I don't remember what they said!" ”
“……”
Everyone was speechless for a moment, and then Abner, who was still a student of Rodit's father and an experienced experience in exploring ruins, answered for him: "After receiving the teacher's order, I immediately asked Rex and the others, and they mentioned that once the materials stored in the square disappeared inexplicably. ”
After Abner finished speaking, Rodit also seemed to think of something, and immediately said: "I remember, at that time, Rex said that there were some supplies missing, I thought this was an excuse for me to increase investment, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
- "Then it seems that Rex and the others may have disappeared inexplicably like those supplies. ”
Xia Duo's words made Rodit and the others suddenly nervous, and they asked, "What about us?" ”
"Lord Shado, can you see anything unusual here?"
- "I guessed a little, but before I can answer your question, I need to ask one more question, just ask Master Abner, you talked to Rex and the others, did they say what the state of this square was in the first place?" Or to put it more clearly, the square was originally so clean, or something else. ”
In the psychic link, the communication is very fast, and Abner only recalls it for a moment, and answers directly through the active consciousness message:
"The Sword Comes"
"I didn't say it explicitly, but they also mentioned that they found some of the remains of the tower in the square, but they didn't take it out because they were too heavy, and now it seems that in addition to the supplies, the remains of those towers have also disappeared."
- "Then I've come to my conclusion, I've mentioned before that the Misty Zone is completely overlapped with the Aether Plane, and the Square is undoubtedly the Misty Zone, even the inside of the Mage Tower, but now I'm going to adjust that conclusion a bit.
- "I suspect that the overlap between this side of the square and the aetheric plane may not be complete, perhaps at some point the two planes will be separated, and the person or thing in the square at that time must exist in one plane, perhaps the main plane, or the etheric plane. ”
At this moment, in fact, Xia Duo didn't really want to continue exploring, not to mention that all the relic hunters who could have been used as guides had disappeared, and Rodit and these people entered the mage tower again, and it was completely in a state of wasteland.
Inside the Mage Tower, perhaps this overlapping and separating of planes will happen more frequently than in the square.
Xia Duo wondered if this ruin was about to collapse, like a very dilapidated old house, which had been searched several times by a group of people, inside and out, and now it was finally going to collapse if it couldn't hold on.
And once the ruins collapse, there may be a situation similar to the collapse of the Lost Lock, involving the overlap of the planes, and maybe everything here will be thrown into the Aether plane, and it will never return to the main plane.
Of course, it may be that there is nothing, but all hidden dangers are removed.
Xia Duo passed on his guesses and suggestions to the Psychic Link, and then waited for the decision of Rodit and the others with peace of mind.
In fact, he himself didn't care much about the treasures or materials that might exist inside the ruins, of course, it was good, and he wouldn't be too disappointed without him.
What he really cared about was the state of existence of the ruins themselves.
It is very likely that this relic is the product of the failure of the half-plane experiment, and if it can be studied thoroughly, it will definitely allow him to make a great breakthrough in the plane field.
Compared to the unknown treasure in front of him, Xia Duo, who has already obtained the location of the ruins, has already obtained what he wants.
Of course, if he takes the initiative to give up now, and then come over to directly study the state of the ruins, this is somewhat immoral, and if Rodit and the others insist on exploring, he will continue to provide information analysis and command services.
Time passed little by little, and Rodit and the others thought and weighed, but their footsteps had already subconsciously come to the edge of the square.
Just when Xia Duo thought they were about to give up, Rodit said: "Rex, they are not here, aren't they here, are we such high-level mages, we can't explore without a few ordinary people!"
"Besides, there's Lord Shado! I am confident that Lord Chado will be able to lead us to victory! ”
“……”
Xia Duo was speechless, it was a good thing to be trusted, but it was not necessarily a good thing to explore the ruins that could obviously change.
If it weren't for the fact that he had agreed to participate in the exploration before, if it weren't for the fact that his body was still in the watchtower, he would have returned home long ago.
But even if you want to continue exploring, today is not a good time, so he again proposed:
"Since you insist, then I will continue to fulfill my promise, but the ruins have an abnormal state of dimensional overlap, to be safe, I need to make some extra preparations, today's action will be canceled for the time being, I suggest you also make more preparations, and see you in the watchtower in two days!"
