Chapter 83: The Ruins Seal

A lush mountain range stretches across the border of the Norman and Kildan kingdoms.

The Zelda Mountains are just an ordinary small mountain range in the entire Terran territory, because they happen to be located on the border between the two countries, so they become the natural dividing line between the two countries.

It is precisely because of the natural demarcation of the Zelda Mountains that there has been rare border friction between the two countries in history, and only one division of daily patrol troops has been placed on one side of the border line.

The Zelda Mountains are located in the interior of the kingdom, the mineral resources are not rich, and there are no powerful magical beasts inhabiting the mountains.

On this day, a few hurried people came from the depths of the Zelda Mountains, and they set up tents under the Guraida Peak, and they could not stay for several days.

Today is the only full moon of the month, and the stars Nasha and Tasha cast a bright red and blue moonlight on the earth, illuminating the Gudalai Peak very brightly.

Joan and Arthur put away their tents early, anxiously waiting for the moment when the ruins would be opened.

After Joan returned from the Dwarven Kingdom as a high-level magician, Arthur couldn't wait to urge Aretha to bring them to the mysterious ruins that she and Keynes had explored.

In addition to the two of them, Huey, Golly, Ellenie and Gru the Ice Elf also travel with them. Arya and Toren are not allowed to enter because they have not reached the school level, and Spence needs to stay behind in the mercenary group. And Aretha said that the ruins were very strange, and that generals and archmages with stronger combat power were not necessarily more likely to survive than those with lower strength. Because there are no visible enemies there, but there are unknown traps and inexplicable dangers.

It wasn't until they entered the Zelda Mountains that Arthur and the others learned that the ancient ruins were not accessible at all times, and that the seal of the entrance would fluctuate and be detected only on the night of the full moon every month. Arthur and the others have temporarily camped at the foot of the peak, and in the past few days they have completely searched the entire vicinity of Gudalai Peak, but they have not found any clues or anomalies, and if it were not for Aretha's determination that this is the entrance to the ruins, no one would have noticed that there is a big secret hidden here.

From nightfall until the middle of the moon, Aretha stood motionless at the foot of the peak, and Arthur and Joan, who stood side by side behind him, were already waiting anxiously.

Seeing that the two moons had begun to turn westward, Arthur finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, when do we have to wait?"

Aretha replied anxiously, "I don't know, I don't feel any fluctuations in the seal. ”

"Could it be that you are in the wrong place?"

"You can't be wrong with the place, but it's been almost twenty years since we last came, and no one knows what happened in between. ”

Aretha's answer stunned the expectant crowd.

Aretha sighed softly and comforted, "Wait a minute, it would be a good thing for you if you really can't find the entrance, but I don't dare to guarantee that you will be able to come out alive after entering again." ”

No one spoke after that, and the minutes passed slowly in anxious waiting. It was getting closer and closer to dawn, but there was still no response.

Aretha suddenly whispered, "Let's try one last time!" she said as she clenched her right fist, and the fighting energy of her whole body converged on the fist, and a bright blue light erupted on the fist, and then the void punch quickly struck.

If this punch landed on the mountain peak in front of him, it would have shattered, but just as the blue fist was about to fall on the mountain, an invisible light flashed away, and Aretha's full force dissipated.

Aretha's face showed a hint of doubt, "Since it's still there, why didn't you react at all before?"

Arthur and the others behind Aretha naturally saw a strange change, "Master, that was the seal of the ruins just now, right?"

Aretha nodded, "The seal is still there, but the entrance can't be found. ”

"What then?"

"There's only one last way to try. As she spoke, Aretha summoned a condensed blue enchantress, a pair of sharp front claws that swung into the void.

Under the onslaught of the blue enchantress, there was a flash of light from time to time, but that was all. Not to mention the entrance, not even the seal itself appeared.

"Master, let's also help attack the seal together, right?" Arthur and the others were also eager to try.

Behind a few people, a spatial magic door opened silently, and a crisp voice came out, "Stop!"

"Professor Charlene!" Arthur and Joan recognized at the same time.

"Arthur, I guessed you were doing it!" said Shalene's voice with a hint of anger.

Arthur didn't care about Sarain's anger at all, after all, he had done more than anything to Sarain, but asked with a hippie smile, "Professor Charlene, why did you happen to be here?"

"I'm supposed to ask you what you're doing here? ”

Arthur wasn't surprised, "So the seal here was set by the Star Moon Guardian?"

Saran shook her head, "This is an ancient seal, we've just added another layer of seal to its periphery to seal it back down. ”

"So you did it, I said, why can't you feel the fluctuations of the seal?"

"I know you, Aretha?"

"Did we know each other before?" Aretha looked at Saran quizzically.

"I don't know, but I've seen you in the Forsaken Swamp. ”

"You were also abandoning the swamp?"

Shalene chuckled, "If it weren't for me, you would have been so easy to get rid of the church's pursuit?"

"Looks like I owe you a thank you. Aretha smiled back.

Arthur couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two women, and asked Shalene, "Why did the Star Moon Guardian seal this ruin?"

Charlene didn't hide it from Arthur, "I was also a kid when the Alliance reinforced the seal here, and I heard that there was a traitor in the Alliance who leaked the secret of this seal, causing many people to break in. The Alliance believes that it will be harmful for the continent's intelligent races to recreate ancient secrets, so it has resealed the place. ”

"So you don't know what's going on in this ruin?"

"Of course I don't know. A question suddenly occurred to her, "How did you find here?"

"Because I went in there. Aretha took the initiative.

Shalene let out an exclamation, "You said you came out of it?

Aretha shrugged her shoulders, the facts are here, and there is no need to explain too much.

"We want to go in now, you Star and Moon Guardians won't stop you, right?" Arthur asked from the side.

"Idiot, we reinforced the seal just to prevent people from breaking in, do you think we will stop it?"

"Then if I break in by force, can you still kill me?"

Shalene was speechless for a while, and it was really troublesome to involve Arthur, because the elder had just told him to pay attention to his safety, otherwise Shalene would not have taken the initiative to help in the swamp.

Seeing that Sharin hesitated, Arthur immediately changed to a pleading tone, "The exercises and Starfall Sword I am practicing now all originate from this ruin, and the things in it are very important to me, I have to go in, you should be late, okay?"

Shalene suddenly gritted her teeth, "Yes, but I'm going to go in with you!"
