Our investigation has entered a critical stage. Although the task of sealing the ancient leader has been completed, we know that this is only part of the mystery of the ancients. The backlog of information and clues in the laboratory needs us to interpret one by one, and our pressure and sense of responsibility are increasing day by day.
"We must find out the true purpose of the ancients as soon as possible." I said to Alison, Victor and Jack, "Every time we deal with a problem, we will find more mysteries."
"I agree." Alison nodded, "But we can't ignore the crisis at this stage. The power of the ancients still persists in the underground facilities, and we need to develop a detailed plan to deal with potential threats."
"Yes, we also need to trace the history of the ancients and look for possible clues." Victor said, "We may be able to find more information about the ancients through ancient documents or relics."
"Then where is our first priority now to find these materials?" I asked.
"I've heard that there is an ancient historical archive in the city," said Alison. "This archive contains many precious documents, which may include records related to the ancient tribe."
"Okay, let's go there," I decided, "We must get more information as soon as possible."
We are ready to go to the historical archive. When we arrived, we found that the appearance of the archive was unremarkable, but the interior was full of the heavy sense of history. The walls were covered with various ancient maps and paintings, and the air was filled with the smell of books.
"This place is really worth a visit." Jack said, "I hope we can find the clues we need."
We entered the interior of the archive and found that the environment here was extremely quiet. There were several long tables in the center of the hall, surrounded by tall bookshelves, which were full of various ancient documents and scrolls.
"We need to find archives related to the ancient tribe." Alison said, "We can find relevant clues from these books and scrolls."
We began to search around in the archive, flipping through various ancient documents and scrolls. After some searching, we finally found some ancient archives that recorded the origin and history of the ancient tribe.
"These archives mention that the ancients were originally a powerful civilization with excellent magic technology and extraordinary wisdom," said Victor, "but their overpowering power and greed for power led to their destruction."
"They were sealed by the ancient magicians because their power threatened the balance of the entire world." Alison explained, "These magicians not only sealed the ancients, but also tried to transfer their power to other places to prevent the revival of the ancients."
"This means that the power of the ancients may have been transferred to other places and is still affecting our world." I analyzed, "We must find the traces of these powers and solve the problem as soon as possible."
Just then, the door of the archives was suddenly pushed open, and a tall man walked in. His appearance was extremely mysterious, wearing a black robe, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"What are you looking for?" The man asked coldly, "The archives here are not for casual browsing."
We looked at him vigilantly, feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression. The man's aura was extremely powerful, obviously not an ordinary person.
"We are investigating the history of the ancient tribe and related clues." I said, "Excuse me, are you the person in charge of this archive?"
"I am not the person in charge." The man said coldly, "But some secrets of this archive do need to be treated with caution."
"Do you mean that our investigation may touch on some sensitive information?" Alison asked.
The man nodded slightly, with a hint of threat in his tone. "The secrets of the ancient tribe are far more complicated than you think. These secrets not only involve the ancient tribe itself, but also some hidden forces. Your investigation may cause more problems."
"We just want to understand the truth about the ancient tribe and find a solution to the problem." I insisted, "We don't want to conflict with any hidden forces."
The man was silent for a while, then took out an ancient scroll from his robe and handed it to us. "This is an ancient record that may help your investigation. But you must handle this information with caution. The price of these secrets may be higher than you think."
We took the scroll, and the man turned and left, disappearing into the corridor of the archive. We looked at each other, shocked by what we had just encountered.
"Who is this man?" Jack asked, "Why is he so wary of our investigation?"
"Although his words are ambiguous, we can't ignore them." Alison said, "The scroll he gave us may contain important information."
We couldn't wait to open the scroll and found that it recorded some of the secrets of the ancients. The scroll mentioned that the ancients possessed a power called "Dark Core", which could cause a huge disaster in extreme cases.
"'Dark Core'?" I murmured to myself, "What is this?"
"The Dark Core is a powerful magical device that can cause great energy fluctuations when the seal is broken." Victor explained, "The existence of this device may pose a serious threat to the entire world."
"We must find this Dark Core and make sure it is not used incorrectly." I said, "This is also the real threat of the Ancients."
We left the archives and decided to continue investigating the whereabouts of the Dark Core. Although we have obtained some important information, we also realize that this crisis is far from over. The secrets of the Ancients are still hidden in the fog, and we must continue to work hard to uncover all the mysteries and fight to protect our world.
In the following days, we were busy in the laboratory, analyzing the information in the scrolls and tracking the clues to the dark core. Every time we found new clues, we felt that we were one step closer to the truth, but we also realized that the challenges ahead would be even more arduous. We will continue to move forward, meet every new challenge, and work hard to uncover the true secrets of the ancients.
