Meet the principal

The one-week inspection visit to the Phoenix Academy of Magic came to an end soon. Before leaving, as a representative, Reiner provided about fifty magic computers and the same number of magic tablets and supporting network communication equipment to the Phoenix Academy of Magic. Nice only needs to go back and follow Reiner's instructions to build a communication base station, set up a network, and then lay out a communication cable connecting Phoenix Academy of Magic and Crescent Academy to realize the interconnection between the two schools.

All this preparation should take no more than a week, but Reiner cannot see the communication with Phoenix Academy of Magic on the Internet for the time being.

Because he had previously agreed to the invitation of the legendary mage Isaris Ebdon, and was about to go to the demiplane to explore a ruins from the ancient magic empire.

Before that, of course, Reiner had done enough homework and learned about these ruins.

Generally speaking, there are two types of architectural communities that can be called ruins, one with historical records and the other without historical records.

For ruins with historical records, mages usually first carefully study the historical records and use the records to speculate in advance on the situation of the entire ruins, whether it is dangerous, where the traps are, where the important treasure troves are, and whether there are other dangerous factors. Such ruins Easier to understand and safer.

Of course, in the three hundred years after the collapse of the ancient magic empire, most of these relics have long been cleared away. Their legacy has become the trump card of many mages, and some have been contributed to the inventory of the magic association. Now I want to It is already extremely difficult to find a relic with historical records.

The other type of relics without historical records is even rarer in number, but also harder to find.

Some of these ruins are not even products of the ancient Magic Empire period, but are ruins from an earlier era of faith, or even older ruins. Even their original appearance has been scattered in the dust of history and cannot be found. , no one knows what these ruins were in the past, and no one can predict what is in these ruins. These ruins are dangerous and elusive, and mid-level mages simply dare not go deep into them.

But equally, there are unimaginable treasures buried in these unexplored ruins.

Regardless of gold and silver, some ancient secrets, legendary spells, and weird magic props are all extremely precious.

Perhaps these spells and magic props are no longer powerful things now, but by studying the composition of these spells and magic props, mages can gain new inspiration to create spells, or repair current spell loopholes. Therefore, the excavation of ruins has been a long-term work of the Magic Association.

But this time, Sir Alberton invited Reiner to participate in a ruins that had no historical records and were shrouded in fog.

This ruins is located in the Eliot demiplane. This demiplane is in the third star field. It is five hops away from the main plane at the shortest distance. It is already a quite remote demiplane.

One-third of Eliot's demiplane is a desert, located in the center of the demiplane, where creatures live in seclusion under rocks and gravel. The other two-thirds are vast plains, but recently Three hundred years of observation have shown that the desert is gradually encroaching on the plains, and the culprit of all this is the ruins hidden in the center of the desert.

"Can the ruins also affect the outside world?"

Reiner was sitting in the airship. He had just passed through the star gate from the previous half plane and came to Elliot. Next to him was another high-level mage, His Excellency Cornwall Penzance. The two of them One is the last member of the exploration team to arrive here.

Facing the exploration of unknown ruins, mid-level mages can basically only be used as backup and cannot go deep into the contents of the ruins. High-level mages and legendary mages are the main force. In these years, led by legendary mages, the Magic Association has successfully discovered six unknown A large number of precious resources have been obtained from the ruins, and this one is the seventh.

"Different ruins have completely different properties. Liner, some ruins were originally just the manor or residence of a certain mage. Apart from some simple traps to prevent intruders, there was no danger. And some ruins may have been the residence of a certain mage. The laboratory of the legendary mage not only contains strange magic restrictions, but there may also be mutated magical creatures."

Lord Penzance is usually very serious about his words, but at this time he was quite patient in explaining to Reiner.

"As for this kind, as time goes by, the magic products in it may produce unpredictable changes, eventually eroding the surrounding area and changing the environment of the area where the ruins are located. I remember that there was once a ruins located in a place where most of the area was covered by the ocean. demiplane, and that ruin affected the entire demiplane, causing endless storms. It was not until the core in the ruins was sealed that the storm calmed down. According to subsequent investigations, that demiplane was originally It was a peaceful and livable area, but because an intruder accidentally triggered the protection mechanism of the ruins, the entire demiplane was ravaged by disaster."

Reiner seemed to be able to imagine such a scene as he listened, and from this, he also thought of a lot.

"So, we excavate these ruins not only for the treasures inside, but also to eliminate the harm they may cause in advance, right?"

"You are very smart, Reiner. In fact, after all the known ruins have been excavated, these unknown ruins are more like hidden dangers that may explode at any time than treasures. No one knows what will happen to the next ruins. What will be the result?”

Lord Penzance nodded slightly. At this time, the aerostat had slowly landed. The two of them waited for it to stop and then stood up and stepped off the aerostat.

"and."

Lord Penzance added.

"It's hard to say whether the collapse of the Midgar demiplane was caused by the unknown ruins there that went out of control. After all, that demiplane had lost contact with the main plane for many years, and no one has had time to explore its secrets. Therefore, once an unknown ruin is discovered, the Magic Association will immediately send people to isolate it and strictly prohibit any non-professionals from entering to avoid accidents."

His words stunned Reiner. It was as if he was saying that the ruins of Elliot's demiplane could also cause the demiplane to collapse. It was horrifying.

"Don't worry, the ruins here should not be in such a condition. The legendary mage is present. Even if it does collapse, we will have time to escape."

Lord Penzance patted Reiner on the shoulder, as if what he just said was just a joke that was not funny.

"Uh, okay."

At least he was quite confident in escaping. Reiner could only comfort himself in this way.
