Exploring 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. Occasionally, Lant will use a lighting stick, but once it is turned on, it is difficult to see the mysterious things on the ground. Light.
Starting from the fourth underground floor, there are very few introductions to the Queen. Although there are still sporadic lights on the ground, it is much darker than upstairs, with fewer walls, and every space is very large.
Lant could only take out the lighting rod made by Wendy to barely illuminate it, but found that there was nothing on the entire first floor. There was only a very large circular room in the center. After entering the room, it was just a very thick pillar.
After descending to the fifth underground floor, there are very few artificial traces. Only some areas still have some magical light, and other places are completely like caves or natural caves.
Seeing that the entire first floor was a complete and huge space, with only a huge column more than ten meters high in the center, Lant didn't even understand why he had to dig here. However, what shocked Lant was that there was a sixth floor underground. layer.
The entrance to the sixth floor was so hidden that Rand almost ignored it. The height of a single floor of the six underground floors is no less than 30 meters. Currently, none of the underground arrays are running, and the entire space is dark and cold.
There are no rooms or separate walls on the sixth floor, but there are huge objects placed on the ground. Each one is boxy and has different shapes, and their functions cannot be seen at a glance.
Lant could only hold a lighting rod and walk through the huge silhouettes. The column in the center of the space extends from the ground to the roof. It is a columnar body with a diameter of nearly 5 meters and a height of 30 meters. The pitted marks on the surface seem to come from ancient times.
After exploring for a while, Lant's only gain was that he picked up a booklet in a corner, which was also covered with animal skin paper. Using a lighting stick, he saw that it was very similar to the map book Lant had bought before. The text in it included The imperial lingua franca also has various characters that Rand cannot understand, as well as a very few characters from Rand's hometown.
"It seems to be a message left by a senior. How rich is this senior? He can store a notebook that is almost 1,000 years old, and he just throws it away? Is this senior a big-hearted person, or is he doing it on purpose?" Lant weighed it. He weighed the leather notebook and put it into the space ring.
"Perhaps Ben Call knows the origin of this notebook?" Rant kept thinking. Since he can travel through time, and there are indeed predecessors in this world, he has left the words of his hometown in various underground ruins [Emergency Communications Room] 】Should I get in touch with them?
Who is this predecessor from a thousand years ago? Did he become a legend and does he still exist to this day?
There were many questions that Lant didn't have the chance to think about when he first came. At that time, the barbarians were always behind him, and he had to survive.
When he occupied the salt mine and saw the nameplate with his hometown for the first time, he knew that there had been a visitor from his hometown who left traces in this world, but he had no intention of finding this person.
Now that he has settled down, he has found more traces of this senior, including two notebooks and [Emergency Communication Rooms] in at least two places. However, the more information there is, the more he feels 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 cannot be ruled out as a legend around him. We cannot even rule out the possibility that the Galloping Horse family and the imperial capital both had time-traveling predecessors in similar eras.
But no matter how many seniors there are in front of them, what achievements or achievements they have, it cannot be denied that the world in front of us has not become a world similar to Lant's hometown. There are nobles, kings, churches and gods here. The nobles here are more important to ordinary people. The rights of the subjects are still unlimited.
"Maybe he wanted to find me? So he left this book specially?" Rant, who couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, laughed at himself and ended the exploration.
. . When Lant returned to the cellar, Ben Call had arrived at the palace and was waiting for him in Lant's tent.
"You're here at the right time. I'm going to follow you to the underground ruins of the palace later. I just happened to call Sophia." Lant knew that what Ben Call really wanted to explore was the underground ruins, not the palace on the ground.
In Rant's mind, he originally hoped to find time to follow Ben Call to explore the underground ruins. On the one hand, he was learning magic, and on the other hand, he was monitoring Ben. Therefore, Rant wanted to go there to explore before Ben came back. Pathfinding.
But when he actually walked down, Lant felt that the magic circles on the walls of the ruins were not only roughly the same to him, but they were also basically the same. He couldn't tell the difference at all.
After a simple weighing, I simply decided to drag Ben Call down and let him let go. At least he would appear more candid and leave a good impression on the legend in the future.
"Underground ruins?" Ben Call was surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect that Lant would take him there as soon as they met.
"Yes, you will definitely fall in love there." Lant pulled Ben Kaur and walked towards the basement. The two of them chatted while walking, first about the development of the salt mine, then about Wendy and Lili's recent studies, and finally... Lant’s adventures these days.
"I heard that you met Queen Padmere?" Ben finally asked.
"Yeah," Lant would sigh as he remembered the scene at that time.
"She asked me to find a legend or a magician in the imperial capital to activate these magic circles."
"Then what do you think?" Ben stared at Lant. Originally, as an intermediate knight, Lant should honestly follow the Fairy Queen's words and find someone to sacrifice Ye Qicheng to replace himself with a better one. territory.
"If you agree, you can find other branches of the Benma family to exchange the territory."
"I want to give an explanation to the more than 4,000 people who followed me. I liberated them, so I can't just leave them here. I also want to give an explanation to His Majesty, and I can't let his barbarian followers tarnish his reputation." In fact, the truth is Rand understands it all, but he is really unwilling to do so.
"But you are only at the intermediate level. Any carnivorous orc warrior can overwhelm you and beat you." Ben kept reminding Lant,
"If you want to give an explanation to your subordinates, you won't risk their lives, right?"
"Of course not. If we are really weak, I will invite strong reinforcements," Rant said firmly.
"But it's not yet that time. There is still half a grassland as a buffer between me and the orcs." Rant doesn't think he can lead hundreds of barbarians and low-level knights to collide with the orc tribe now, but he can Before the orcs' sight reaches the east of Luoyue River, they can develop quietly and at least first cultivate the combat power of a magister.
When he entered the dim light stairs from the ground, Lant had already noticed that Ben Call's breathing was getting heavier and heavier. When he entered the underground level and met Queen Padmilla, his pace had slowed down, almost. Being dragged down by Lant.
The two of them arrived at the second underground floor of the ruins. Ben really couldn't walk anymore.
"The purpose of my coming to the Benma Plain is to come here." Looking at the array of magic circles, Ben was extremely sure that this was the place he often dreamed of.
"The ancient magic circle here can be traced back to ancient times."
"Starting today, let's explore. I have only one request. If you need an assistant, call a girl. I want them to learn more." Lant kept reminding Ben that it would take a while for Sophia to arrive.
"Of course, those girls of yours are all good materials. Except for that little red bird, although her qualifications are a little lower, she will study hard in the future and become a high-level mage." Ben had already taken out an animal skin notebook and pen. , and started getting ready to work.
"How long are you going to study here?"
"It won't be long, probably a month or two. If someone helps me draw it, it will take even less time."
