Meet the principal

As soon as the two people got off the airship, they saw a black cloud in front of them.

The vast plains were lush with green, but right in front of the field of vision, a thick haze shrouded the sky, and masses of deep black wind and sand swept across, seeming to swallow the world.

If you look down from mid-air, you can see that in the middle of the endless wilderness, the black wind covers the sky, like a bottomless whirlpool appearing in a green ocean, swallowing everything around it.

"This was originally a good place for raising cattle and sheep, with fertile water and soil. Unfortunately, starting about a year ago, the influence of the ruins has become stronger and stronger, reaching its peak in the past six months. The black storm is not only filled with sand and gravel. , and the turbulent flow of magic power is enough to swallow up most of the middle and low-level mages."

Waiting for them on the small tarmac was William Saxon, a high-level mage of the Eighth Ring. His most famous achievement was the creation of calculus almost at the same time as Lord Isharis Alberton. However, at that time, Saxon was already a A member of the High Council, and Lord Alberton is just a fledgling mid-level mage.

"Your Excellency Saxon, there should be no other unrelated people in this demiplane now, right?"

Penzance looked around and asked casually.

"All the indigenous people have moved away, and the only ones here now are people related to the Magic Association."

Saxon explained while leading the way.

"Originally, there was only a small desert in the middle. According to historical records, there was only about one-twentieth of the area three hundred years ago, and there has been no expansion. Until a year ago, there was a sudden storm here, and the desert It gradually expanded, and this attracted the attention of the Magic Association. After investigation, a deeply hidden ruin was discovered."

The three of them came to a town, which seemed to be the place where herders lived in the past, but now it was deserted. The huge town was silent, which was in sharp contrast with the rumbling storm in the distance, making it even more strange. fear.

They walked into the building that was originally the town meeting hall,

Here, the mages who had arrived earlier were already sitting at the round table in the conference hall.

The person in the center is naturally the host of this inspection mission, the legendary mage Isaris Eberton. He holds several pieces of parchment in his hand, his expression is solemn, and he seems to be deep in thought.

Next to Lord Alberton was the master of the elemental system, Surrey Newington. He was originally reading the content on the parchment. When he saw someone coming in, he raised his head slightly, but saw Peng next to Saxon. Zansi was stunned.

After a few seconds, he lowered his head hesitantly. He seemed to be continuing to read, but he was already absent-minded.

Mr. Penzance also looked at his former student at the same time. He was a little shaken, and then looked at Mr. Alberton, as if he didn't understand why he summoned himself and Newington.

Everyone knows that Newington was once a student of Penzance, but because the two had different opinions on the nature of light, they could not reconcile and eventually broke up. Newington also left the Mercury Scale and joined the Storm Council of the Elements. , they have not exchanged a word for so many years.

Even after Reiner proved the wave-particle duality of light, the relationship between the two did not ease much. After all, Newington's departure from the mercury balance was too bad in Penzance's view, and Newington It is impossible to leave the Storm Council and return to the Mercury Scale now.

In most cases, even other high-level mages would try to avoid close contact between two people, but for some reason, Lord Alberton summoned the two of them without hesitation.

Including Reiner, there are four high-level mages and one legendary mage. From Reiner's point of view, this ruins exploration team can be said to be extremely luxurious.

"You are here, please sit down first."

Lord Alberton came back from his thoughts, looked at Reiner and Penzance who had just arrived, and motioned for them to sit down.

When Reiner sat down, Lord Alberton waved his hand, and several pieces of parchment flew in front of Reiner and Penzance.

"This is the current investigation report on the ruins. I named it Breath of the Wild."

The naming of the ruins is decided by the mage who presides over the investigation. The ruins with historical records are generally called by their original names, while these unknown ruins are mostly determined based on their characteristics or the core things of the ruins.

For example, the demiplane that Penzance mentioned before was ravaged by the storm. This relic was called the Heart of the Storm. Finally, the magic item as its core was extracted and became the defensive magic that enveloped the Storm Council. The main components of the Top of the Whirling Cloud.

Reiner nodded, picked up the parchment and read it carefully.

The above is about the situation of this demiplane. It can be seen that this demiplane has hardly experienced war. It used to be the territory of a legendary mage from the ancient magic empire, but that gentleman seems to have long been Forgotten here, only the herders rely on livestock herding for a living, and the desert in the middle of the demiplane has always existed. It used to be empty, and until recently, it was only covered by existing ruins.

As for the reason for the appearance of the ruins, it is a coincidence. A year ago, a group of people came to the Eliot demiplane. They were originally a mining team of a certain chamber of commerce that traveled around the demiplane in order to explore mineral veins. This The group of people came to the desert in Eliot's demiplane and accidentally touched the protection mechanism of the ruins. All the unlucky guys were killed, and the ruins surfaced.

Such examples are not uncommon. Many ruins have strong defense and concealment capabilities, which has prevented them from being discovered for many years. However, as time goes by, some concealment spells gradually become ineffective, which makes these hidden for many years. Relics appear in people's sight.

Continuing to look down, Reiner began to read about the parts of the ruins that have been discovered so far.

Surrounding the ruins is a powerful storm. This storm is mixed with sand and gravel, and is also enveloped by turbulent magic power, forming a barrier that renders most detection spells ineffective. Even the astrology of the legendary mage level is difficult to predict the dangers involved. Condition.

Lord Alberton once entered the center of the storm alone, but for safety reasons, he did not go too deep. He recorded what he saw and recited it on parchment.

The center of the storm was a well-preserved building with almost no damage. The top of the entire building was hemispherical, about five stories high. There were no living creatures around the building, but there was a strong magic barrier. From the appearance, it was difficult to distinguish There is no clue as to the purpose of this building.

However, Lord Alberton felt a strong surge of primitive magic power from the building. Just a slight leak was enough to set off this crazy storm.
