Chapter 604: Chapter 428: Sudden Encounter in the Ruins_1
“Alright, Mr. Christopher, let’s continue our journey.”
After a short while, the voice of City Lord Asher Porter rang again by Leo Ray’s ear.
Nodding to Asher, Leo noticed:
Due to the vastness of this unknown underground space.
The previous exploration formation was changed once again.
From a previous vertical team, it had already been divided into eight small teams, advancing side by side with Asher and the other two, as well as their own group, positioned in the center.
In the central position, only a small team of priests and a mixed heavy infantry-mage team responsible for lighting remained.
“Such a dragnet-style exploration can indeed make sense of the structure here as soon as possible.”
Noticing this, Leo Ray pondered with a thoughtful nod in his heart: “However, if there are traps here, the likelihood of triggering them would undoubtedly increase.”
With a slight frown, Leo Ray continued his thinking: “Upon closer inspection, this is, after all, an ancient relic of the giants, and if it were a physical trap, it would be difficult to trigger with the weight of ordinary humans. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel-fire.ɴet
The Titan Tribe is not good at magic, so even if they set up magical traps, they wouldn’t be able to cause any earth-shattering waves, so Asher’s horizontal team exploration mode is quite reasonable after all.”
Upon this thought, Leo Ray’s furrowed brows relaxed again.
He began to follow the team’s progress while refocusing his attention on the scenery in front of him.
At this moment, Leo Ray could clearly perceive.
Confronted with the unknown in front of them, after the initial shock and agitation, waves of tension, caution, and unease had quietly spread throughout the team once again.
So much so that in the vicinity, apart from the uniform sound of armor collisions and footsteps, there was no other sound.
These rustling noises were quickly swallowed up by the darkness in the vast underground space, not even a hint of an echo was emitted.
Without a doubt, within this massive ancient Titan Clan relic filled with two rows of giant stone pillars,
The exploration team of over a hundred people was like a broken leaf floating on the surface of a river, hardly causing a ripple.
If psychological factors were taken into account, perhaps it would be more appropriate to compare them to a tiny spark in a bottomless pit.
It seemed that at any moment, they might be swallowed up by the surrounding unknown darkness.
“Before my journey, as an ordinary office worker sometimes subjected to societal beatings, I often felt our insignificance on a psychological level.
After my journey, although the psychological insignificance has gradually disappeared, I feel the physical insignificance once more; truly, the world is ever-changing.”
Gazing up at the huge bluestone pillars on both sides, emanating an ancient aura, Leo Ray muttered with a smirk.
At this moment, besides these stone pillars, all he could see were the glimmers of reflections on the swords of the knights and soldiers around him.
“Come to think of it, before this, I led a group of subordinates to explore the relics of the Light Elf Race near Penelope’s territory, the Ancient Ship in the Pine Sound Range cave, and the Winged Race’s Barrier Region in Mystara City.
It can be basically confirmed that these three places, or ships, were all destroyed during the Blank Age three thousand years ago.
In that case, was this ancient Titan Clan relic also devastated and buried by the unknown mysterious age’s catastrophic damage?”
With this thought, Leo Ray’s expression became increasingly solemn, and he sank into contemplation once more.
As he remembered, during the auction, the old Tier 4 Eight-star Hydro Great Magician mercenary who impersonated an auctioneer had said:
The first relic that discovered the [Eternal Night Magic Box] might also have been destroyed during the Era of Blankness.
If this were true, then this ancient relic of the Titan Clan could not have been destroyed during the Blank Age.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why these two relics were so close together.
After all, according to Jasper Richardson, who is well-versed in space magic, even the most powerful space great mage could not teleport such a huge building elsewhere.
“Of course, we, the Otherworldly Lords with extraordinary talents, are exceptions, like Lincoln Wilde, who can teleport an entire territory randomly.”
At this thought, a confused expression emerged on Leo Ray’s face once more.
“But then again, although this world of swords and magic has many unimaginable things compared to the Earth, it still has its own rules and operates regularly.
Only we, the newly arrived Otherworldly Lords, possess the magical abilities to break these rules. What exactly is going on behind all this?
How does it relate to the Blank Age three thousand years ago? Is it really God pulling the strings behind the scenes?”
At this moment, the look of confusion on Leo Ray’s face became more pronounced, as he muttered to himself while continuing his journey into the unknown darkness under the protection of the surrounding knights.
“However, judging from the information I have gathered at this stage, if a war between the gods and the mainland’s myriad clans did take place during the Blank Age,
then the gods would not have allowed later generations to forget it all, so much so as to create a Blank Age without any records.”
