182. The Seniors and the Returning Mages
Exploring the underground ruins is not an easy task, even if there is a faint light on the ground and walls, it is still easy to get lost or hit the wall, and occasionally Rand will use a light stick, but once opened, it is difficult to see the ghostly light on the ground.
From the fourth basement floor, the Queen's introduction is very rare, although there is still a sporadic glow on the ground, but compared to the upstairs, it is much darker, and there are fewer walls, and each space is very large.
Rand could only take out the lighting stick made by Wendy to barely illuminate it, but found that there was nothing on the entire floor, except for a very large circular room in the center, and the room was only a very thick pillar when entered.
When you go down to the fifth basement floor, there are very few traces of artificiality, only some areas still have some magical light, and the rest of the place is completely like a cave or a natural cave.
Seeing that the entire floor was a complete and huge space, only there was a huge column more than ten meters high in the center, and Rand didn't even understand why he was digging here, but what shocked Rand was that there was a sixth layer underground.
The entrance to the sixth floor was so hidden that it was almost overlooked by Rand. The height of the single floor of the sixth underground floor is not less than 30 meters, and now the underground magic circle is not running, and the entire space is dark and not in the middle of winter.
There are no rooms or separate walls on the sixth floor, but there are huge objects placed on the floor, each of which is boxy and has a different shape, and its function is not obvious at a glance.
Rand could only hold a light rod and walk through the huge silhouettes. The pillars in the center of the space extend from the ground to the roof, and the columns with a diameter of nearly 5 meters and a height of 30 meters seem to come from ancient floods.
After exploring around, Rant's only gain was to pick up a booklet in a corner, which was also a skin of animal skin paper, and looked at it with a lighting stick, which was very similar to the atlas that Rand had bought before, and the words in it included the lingua franca of the Empire, as well as various scripts that Rand couldn't understand, as well as a few words from Rand's hometown.
"It seems to be the information left by the predecessors.,How rich is this predecessor.,A book that can be stored for almost 1000 years.,Just throw it away? Is this predecessor big-hearted, or is it deliberate? Rand took the leather notebook and put it into the space ring,
"Maybe Ben Kaul knows where this book came from?" Rand kept thinking, since he was able to travel over, and there were indeed predecessors in this world, he had already left the text of his hometown in various underground ruins [Emergency Communication Room], should he get in touch with them?
Who is this predecessor of a thousand years ago? Did he become a legend, and has he always existed to this day?
There were a lot of problems that Rand didn't have a chance to think about when he first came, when the barbarians were always behind him, and he had to survive.
When he first saw the nameplate of his hometown after occupying the salt mines, he knew that there had been a visitor from his hometown who had left traces in this world, but he didn't want to find this person.
Now that he has settled down, he has found more traces of this senior, including two notebooks and at least two places of the [Emergency Communication Room], but the more information he has, the more he realizes that something is wrong, judging from various legends, it is very likely that it is the god of knights and magicians who changed the entire human empire, and it cannot be ruled out that it is the legend around him, and it cannot even be ruled out that the Galloping Horse family and the emperor have crossed the predecessor in similar eras.
However, no matter how many predecessors there were, and what merits or achievements they had, it was undeniable that the world in front of them did not become a world similar to Rand's hometown, where there were nobles, kings, churches, and gods, and the rights of the nobles here over the common people were still unlimited.
"Maybe he wants to find me? So deliberately left this notebook? Rand, who couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, laughed at himself and ended his exploration.
。。 By the time Rand returned to the cellar, Ben Kaul had arrived at the palace and was waiting for him in Rand's tent.
"You're here just in time, come with me to the underground ruins of the royal palace in a moment, just call Sophia" Rand knew that what Ben Kaul really wanted to explore should be the underground ruins, not the palace above ground.
In Rand's thoughts, he originally hoped to find time to follow Ben Kaul to explore the underground ruins, on the one hand, to learn magic, and on the other hand, to monitor Ben, so Rand wanted to go down to explore the path before Ben returned.
But when he really walked down, Rand felt that the magic circle on the wall of the ruins was basically the same, if not to say, to him, and he couldn't see the difference at all.
After a simple trade-off, he simply decided to pull Ben Kaul down directly, let him let go of his hand and toss, at least he appeared to be more honest, and leave a good impression on the legend in the future.
"Underground ruins?" Ben Kaul was also shocked when he heard it, but he didn't expect Rand to take him over as soon as they met.
"Yes, you're going to love it," Lantra walked to the basement with Bencall, and the two talked as they walked, first about the development of the salt mine, then about Wendy and Lili's recent studies, and finally about Lanter's adventures in the past few days.
"I heard you met Queen Padmir?" Ben finally asked.
"Yes," Rand would sigh as he remembered the scene,
"She asked me to find a legend or a magister in the imperial capital to activate these magic circles."
"And what do you think?" Ben stared at Rant, originally as a middle-level knight, Rand should honestly follow the fairy queen's words, find a thigh to sacrifice Night Qicheng and exchange it for a better territory for himself.
"If you agree, you can find other clans of the Galloping Horse Family to exchange territories."
"I want to give an explanation to the more than 4,000 people who followed me, that I liberated them and that I couldn't just leave them here. I also want to give His Majesty an explanation that he must not let his barbarian followers tarnish his reputation. In fact, Rand understands everything, but he is really unwilling.
"But you're only intermediate, any carnivorous orc warrior can crush you." Ben constantly reminds Rand,
"You want to explain to your subordinates, it's not that they risk their lives, right?"
"Of course not, if the strength is really weak, I will invite reinforcements," Rand said firmly,
"But it's not that time yet, and there is still half a grassland between me and the orcs as a buffer." Rand didn't think that he could take hundreds of barbarians and low-level knights to collide with the orc tribe now, but he could take advantage of the fact that the orcs had not yet entered the east of the Falling Moon River and quietly develop, at least cultivating the combat power of the Magister level first.
By the time he entered the staircase of the spectral light from the ground, Rand had already noticed that Ben Kaul's breathing was getting worse, and by the time he entered the basement level, the Cardinal had slowed down when he met Queen Padmila, and was almost dragged down by Rand.
The two of them came to the second underground floor of the ruins, and they really couldn't walk.
"The purpose of my coming to the Galloping Horse Plains is to get here" Looking at the magic circle full of eyes, he was extremely sure, this is where he often dreams,
"The ancient magic circle here can be traced back to ancient times."
"From today onwards, let's explore, I only have one request, if you need an assistant, call a girl, I want them to learn more" Rand kept reminding Ben that Sophia would be there in a while.
"Of course, those girls of yours are all good materials, except for the little cardinal, although the qualifications are a little lower, it will not be a problem to specialize in the future and become a high-level mage" Ben had already taken out a leather book and a pen, and began to prepare for work.
"How long are you going to study here?"
"It won't be very long, it's expected to be a month or two, and if someone helps me draw it, it will take even less."
