"Why not! Why not here!"
In the wooded mountains, someone was yelling and a wrinkled face looked confused.
"Raman, shut up!"
A middle-aged wizard in a red robe stepped forward, his frosty face showing a hint of disdain: "If the remains of the ancient wizards are so easy to find, why would they let us have them so easily?"
"Meldo, are you qualified to say that?"
Raman turned around and looked at the red-robed wizard with a pair of cloudy eyes. "It was you who recruited me to join the group, and it was you who led the way with the map. Now half a month has passed, and we haven't found even a trace of the ruins. I have to doubt whether you deliberately led me the wrong way."
"joke!"
Miledo responded indifferently and sneered: "It was you who agreed to join the group. I showed you the map, and you confirmed the route yourself. Why are you looking for me now?"
"snort!"
After hearing the other party's words, Raman stopped talking, snorted coldly, turned around and continued walking forward.
After arriving at this area according to the instructions on the map, they searched the area thoroughly during this period of time, but in the end, they did not find even a trace of any ruins.
Faced with this situation, no matter who it is, they will become anxious. Recently, Raman even sent out Andrew and other apprentices under his control in order to speed up the search process as much as possible.
"The area here is not in the right range."
On the other side, walking on the rugged mountain road, Athir was also facing similar difficulties.
"According to the markings on the map, the ruins should be in this area. Why is there no trace of them now?"
Walking on the road, carefully following the other party, Athir couldn't help but frown: "Does it have to meet some special conditions, or does it require some kind of token?"
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he couldn't help but think of the two things that Terrence had given him.
Reaching out and taking the package behind him to the ground, Atier opened it directly and took out two things from it.
It was a yellowed animal skin map and a bronze symbol engraved with a two-headed dragon and some poetic hymns written in Koran.
Taking the token in his hand and looking at the words on it, Athir read out the words word by word: "When the moon rises in the sky, the crown of Gumoran will fall to the earth..."
"When the moon rises in the sky..."
Reading the words on the talisman, Athir muttered to himself: "The meaning is very clear, and some key points are directly pointed out."
"Let's wait and see what changes will happen when the moon comes out."
He calmed himself down, looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, and thought to himself.
Soon, it was night.
However, it seemed that Athir's luck was not very good. There was no moon rising at this time of night. The sky was pitch black and not even a star could be seen.
"It looks like we'll have to wait until tomorrow."
Standing in a deserted corner with five people, looking up at the sky quietly, Athir thought silently in his heart.
He looked at the token in his hand, but suddenly froze.
On the familiar bronze style, the pattern of the black two-headed dragon is still engraved on it, but there is a slight change at this time, and the appearance of the two-headed dragon seems to have changed a little.
This change is very slight and inconspicuous, less than one thousandth of the total, and is almost impossible to detect under normal circumstances.
If Athir hadn't had the chip prompt, even a formal wizard would not have been able to notice this change by accident.
"It seems that the moon does not refer to the real moon, but only to that time."
Looking at Anhua's talisman in his hand, Athir seemed to be thinking about something, and then he ordered the chip in his mind: "Chip, zoom in!"
As the order was given, the sight in front of him suddenly changed.
A bronze color completely covered the sight in front of me, constantly changing as my sight continued to separate.
Under the magnification of tens of thousands times, a unique scene appeared before my eyes.
It was a bronze topographic map, not very large in scope but very clear.
On this map, there are two dots lighting up, one is red and the other is white.
After studying for a while, Athir finally understood the meaning of these two punctuation marks.
The white color represents the location of the talisman, and as for the red dot, it is undoubtedly most likely the entrance to the ruins.
Thinking of this, Atier did not hesitate and walked away with the talisman in his hand.
After walking all the way to a very far area and all the way to the top of a mountain, Athir stopped and looked around.
In the small map displayed on the talisman, the red and white dots have overlapped and appear to be in the same area.
"I've been to this area before, but I didn't find anything because I didn't come at the right time?"
Standing in place, looking at the surrounding scenery, Athir's eyes flickered.
During the past half month, following the two official wizards, Athir has searched this area several times, but has not found any trace of the ruins.
Not only him, but the two official wizards were the same. They had searched the area thoroughly for more than half a month, but could not find anything.
Now it seems that it is not because of the map error, but because other conditions have not been met.
Standing in place, Athir raised the talisman in his hand and quietly sensed the surroundings.
It was the middle of the night, the darkness enveloped the earth, and the light was very dim.
Being in it, Athir closed his eyes quietly, and his mind entered a deep meditation state in an instant.
In this state, he sensed the surging energy particles from the outside world, some of which were rapidly entering the talisman in his hand, causing the small talisman to emit light, faintly echoing somewhere here.
As time passed, the light of the talisman became brighter and brighter, and the location of that place became clearer and clearer. In the end, a door was even revealed, and Athir could walk in with just a light step.
This feeling is very unique. While it makes people feel novel, they can't help but sigh at the mystery and weirdness of this place.
After a while, Athir forced himself to suppress the urge to enter and opened his eyes.
In his hand, the ancient bronze talisman lay neatly in his palm, looking no different from before.
However, after what happened just now, Athir could feel the extraordinary nature of this talisman.
This is the real key to communicating with this relic. Without this talisman, even if you can find this place, it will probably be difficult to find the real entrance.
"We can't just go in like this..." Sensing the door, Athir couldn't help but frown, and then looked to the other side.
In that direction, two official wizards were resting.
"Wait a minute..." Looking in that direction, Athir's eyes flickered, but in the end he suppressed the urge to enter the ruins.
A few days later.
"What? You found the entrance to the ruins!!"
One morning, a loud noise came from a distance.
Raman was dressed in a black robe, and his wrinkled face looked extremely excited: "Where is it? Tell me!"
Behind him, Miledo was in much better condition. Although he was also a little excited, there was some confusion in his eyes.
Standing in front of the two official wizards, Andrew and Sisti looked nervous: "We don't know if it is a relic... We just seem to have seen a door..."
"Where is it? Take us there immediately!!"
Before he could finish, Raman shouted and asked them to lead the way.
After looking at each other, Andrew walked out first and led the others in a certain direction.
Their destination was exactly the mountain top that Athir had found before. However, it was still daytime and nothing around them had changed, so it was impossible to find the door.
"Where's the door? Where is the door?"
After coming here and searching carefully several times, Raman was a little confused, and then his turbid eyes instantly looked at Andrew and the others, as if questioning them.
"Sir...we didn't lie to you."
Being stared at like this by a formal wizard, Andrew turned pale and seemed to be terribly frightened. He knelt down directly at this moment, looking totally ungraceful. "Just last night, the door appeared for a while, but it disappeared very quickly."
"Wait, you said you saw it in the middle of the night?"
Miledo suddenly interrupted.
On the side, listening to Miledo's words, Raman's eyes also lit up, and he looked at Andrew: "Think carefully about the situation at that time! Don't miss any details!"
"yes!"
Andrew seemed to be frightened by his gaze and nodded quickly, "It was in the middle of the night. Because the moon was very round, Sisti and I went out to look at the moon. We happened to walk to this area and saw a bronze gate."
"The door disappeared very quickly. At first I thought it was an illusion, but Sisti also saw the door, so she was sure..."
"In the middle of the night, there is still a moon..."
As Andrew spoke, Raman and Myrdal's eyes became brighter and brighter as they stood in front of them, and they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Taking advantage of the moment when they were distracted, Andrew and Sisti, who were kneeling on the ground in front of them and in a disheveled state, looked at each other secretly.
At midnight, they did not leave, but directly gathered all the apprentices to wait here.
"It's already midnight and the moon is out, why can't I see the entrance yet?"
In the middle of the night, standing on the top of the mountain, Raman looked at Andrew impatiently: "Andrew, are you sure you saw it in this place?"
"My Lord, I am sure!"
Faced with doubts, Andrew spoke decisively without any hesitation.
"This should be the location."
From the side, Miledo's voice came.
"Melido, what did you find?" Raman asked a little confused.
"Feel it with your spirit."
Looking back at Raman, Miledo's eyes were deep, his face was frighteningly cold, and he had a suffocating mental power.
Listening to his words, although Raman was confused, he still closed his eyes and spread out his mental power.
As his mental power slowly spread, he also sensed a slight abnormality.
Somewhere around here, a bronze door was standing, which was captured by his mental power and observed accurately by him.
"This is···"
Somewhat shocked, Raman opened his eyes. Both of his eyes opened with shock in them.
"This is a secret place."
Miledo, on the other hand, seemed to have anticipated all of this. At this moment, there was only a flash of surprise on his face. "Although this relic is located in this area, the entrance is not here. Instead, it is fixed in a unique space by a magic array. It can only be observed at a specific time and place."
"The power and knowledge of the ancient wizards are truly desirable."
At this point, Myerdo couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of respect and yearning for the ancient wizards.
"What should I do now?"
Glancing at the apprentices around him, Raman frowned and asked.
"Take them with you and let's go in together."
Miledo opened his mouth, revealing sharp teeth like shark teeth: "We will need them in the ruins later."
"Lord Raman, Lord Miledo..."
At this time, a faint cry came from the side. Andrew and Sisti were standing on the side, with a hint of expectation on their faces: "You promised us that as long as you find the ruins, you will remove the spell on us and let us go."
"Oh, I think I did say that..."
Raman paused, a friendly smile appeared on his face: "But I don't think I said when I will let you go."
"Once the exploration of these ruins is finished, it won't be too late for you to leave."
Hearing this, Andrew's face suddenly turned livid, and his eyes were filled with anger for an instant, but he forced it down.
This look of being angry but not being able to speak out made the other apprentices present feel solemn, and they also felt angry towards Raman in front of them.
Obviously, the two official wizards never thought of letting them leave from the beginning. Even if they waited until the exploration of the ruins was over, they would most likely become slaves and would not be let go by the other party.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Myerdo had a cold expression on his face, watching everything in front of him coldly, and just said, "It's getting late, let's go in immediately."
"There are eight people in total, and each of us is responsible for four!"
Raman nodded, then closed his eyes. His mind instantly connected to the bronze door that he sensed, and he followed the traction and teleported himself over.
In an instant, all the people in front of him disappeared and were directly teleported to another space in the distance.
When it was all over, and halfway through disappearing, in the distance, a figure in a black robe walked out of the forest behind, looking at the spot with a sneer on his face.
After a while, with a flash of light, his figure also disappeared from the spot and was instantly teleported to another space.
