The Elven Survival Handbook.

Chapter 165 The Ruins

As early as half a month ago, Tectero had completed the mission of detecting demonic energy and was preparing to return to Kamdor. Before he left, he received a message from the puppet raven, knowing that the demon king would later arrive at the royal capital of Posenaka. , they turned their horses and went to Naka Seton first, arranged their accommodation and waited for the arrival of the devil.

Once he settled down, the Demon King began to ask Tectero about the results of this investigation.

Tectero was always cautious in his work. When he was exploring the ruins, he took pictures of the entire process. Now that these images have been filtered out of useless parts, the special scenes left behind are played in front of the Demon King.

There is nothing wrong with this ruins itself. As the data says, it is indeed the residence of a magician thousands of years ago. The things inside have long since disappeared in the river of time. The only remaining ones have been preserved since Clive's last visit. During the investigation, it was handed over to the Magic Guild, and what was left was just a dilapidated ruin, completely worthless.

But in the eyes of others, the ruins are worthless, but in the eyes of monsters, they have something inside them.

Before entering the ruins, Tectero noticed the existence of demonic energy. It was very rare, but it was enough to affect the surroundings. The entire ruins were now surrounded by no grass and no birds or animals. According to nearby villagers, this land It's like a curse has been attached to it. You will get sick as soon as you step into it. Many people who didn't believe in evil had come here before. As a result, they all became seriously ill after returning. After that, no one dared to come near it.

The reason why people get sick is naturally the demonic energy.

Clive, who was leading the way, said: "This place was not like this when I came here."

Although the neighborhood was very secluded at that time, there were still insects in the grass on the ground. Unlike now, the entire land is black but without any life.

And standing here, he could feel something burrowing from the soil through his shoes and into the soles of his feet. The coolness climbed up his whole body, but surprisingly it was not uncomfortable. Instead, it was like drinking a glass of cold well water in the middle of summer. There is a sense of comfort.

The last time I came here, I didn't feel this way.

"It's demonic energy." Tectero knelt down to check the condition of the land, then grabbed a handful of black soil and put it into a bottle and put it away.

Witch Lilia curled her long hair around her ears and explained to the two new demons: "Demon energy is like poison to other creatures. It will cause adverse reactions if it touches a little bit. If it is too much, it will even make you go crazy and lose your mind. It is extremely difficult to Clear it, but for us, this is a good thing. As long as it is not excessive, absorbing some can strengthen the body, a bit similar to the black rain of the magic castle."

Monsters were originally born from demonic energy, and for them, demonic energy was a tonic.

She glanced at Clive: "So you are really lucky. In all these years, I have never seen many people who can resist the devil's energy and successfully transform into monsters."

Indeed, Clive was still frightened when he thought about his past experiences. If he hadn't been physically special, he might have gone crazy and died after encountering the demonic energy.

And if he hadn't met the Demon King, Randy would have been killed by him.

As if he knew what he was thinking, Randy turned his head and smiled at him, silently comforting him.

Clive felt warm in his heart and smiled back, then thought of another question: "But at that time, no one else had any problems except me."

"That's because there wasn't so much demonic energy here at that time." Tectero stood up and said, "Go in and take a look, and take the route you took before."

Clive led the way. The road here was not complicated. He thought about it and soon remembered the original route. He led the monsters around and finally stopped in front of a room.

"This was the last room that was explored at that time. There was nothing in it and it was empty, so I was the only one who went in to look at it."

It has been too long. The entire ruins are located underneath. It has not completely collapsed because most of its structure is made of stone. However, things like doors have long since rotted away. Without the door, the situation in the room is clear at a glance, just like Clay. My husband said there was nothing, and I don’t know what it was used for.

Tectero entered the room first, took out a small object and threw it to the ground.

"What is that?" Clive secretly asked a knight beside him.

"Puppet Spider, a detector that can capture the source of evil energy."

I saw the black metal ball-like thing rolling on the ground a few times and then suddenly stretched out eight slender legs, transforming into a black puppet spider that made a clicking sound and moved quickly on the ground.

The puppet spider circled around the room, and finally stopped at a corner, squatting there motionless.

"It should be here." Tectello walked to the corner and checked the wall. There was no sign of any mechanism.

Clive said: "I also checked at the time and there was no mechanism in this room."

"The absence of agencies does not mean there are no secrets."

Lilia walked to Tectero with graceful steps, kicked the corner of the wall with her slender high heels, and said, "Just smash it into pieces and look inside."

Tectero raised his hand and drew out the heavy sword on his back, directly smashing the wall made of stones.

After the collapsed stone, a black hole as tall as a person was exposed.

"It should have been blocked directly afterwards."

"Go down and have a look."

The cave is very dark, and there are stairs on the ground. You can't see the way down all the way. Even if the monster has strong night vision, it can't be seen in a place with no light at all.

Lilia took out an oil lamp equipped with a lighting stone, and bright light illuminated the passage.

She wanted to go ahead and help with lighting, but Tectello grabbed her, took the oil lamp in her hand, and took the lead into the cave.

The stone steps were not long, only about ten steps. After walking up, it became a flat road. After walking for a while, a magic laboratory appeared.

A thick layer of dust has accumulated in the laboratory, but the things inside still retain some of their original appearance.

All the monsters' eyes were fixed on the center of the laboratory.



A twisted space black hole hangs in mid-air. The opening of the space black hole is so small that even a finger cannot pass through it, but the twisted space around it is very conspicuous.

This is where the demonic energy leaks out.

"It seems that the original owner of this place accidentally connected the link to a place where it should not be connected while doing research, and was not able to close it, so he left it open like this, causing the magic energy to leak. Fortunately, the black hole is very small. , otherwise in 1000 years, this world would have been over long ago.”

Lilia looked at the traces of the magic circle on the ground and speculated: "This place should be protected by a barrier. Otherwise, even such a small hole would be enough to pollute this continent after thousands of years. But the magic circle has failed after all. , that’s why you are infected by demonic energy.”

Clive instinctively felt that the black hole was dangerous, so he was cautious and did not move forward.

Lilia leaned forward and looked into the black hole, but unfortunately the hole was too small, so she didn't see anything.

"I wonder if the other side of this hole is our demon world."

"No." Tectello pulled her back: "Don't get too close, it might be dangerous."

Lilia climbed on top of him: "How do you know it's not the case?"

"The smell of demonic energy is different." Tectero said.

After time travel, there was still a certain amount of demonic energy in some places in the magic castle. Later, in order to prevent the demonic energy from expanding or accidentally harming the elves, the Demon King ordered all the demonic energy to be cleared away. He was the one who received the order. , Tectero had eaten a lot of demonic energy at that time, so he naturally knew its taste very well.

Thinking about the increasingly bad environment on the ground, Clive couldn't help but ask: "What should we do about this hole? Can it be plugged?"

Tectero did not speak, but looked at Lilia.

Lilia raised her chin: "Of course, it's just a trivial matter." She was not the weak magician who opened a black hole but couldn't block it.

Having said that, in the end, Lilia did not directly block the black hole in space, but only shrank it to a size smaller than a grain of rice and then sealed it.

Before setting off again, the Demon King secretly ordered Tectero to bring the item back to him if the demonic energy was found to be leaking from something. However, if the demonic energy appeared due to other reasons, then he could do so according to different reasons. It’s up to you how to handle it.

There was only one way, and he wanted Tectero to do exactly what he wanted.

That is, if this demonic energy spreads from other worlds, and this world happens to be their world, then the source of the demonic energy must be blocked immediately. No hidden dangers can be left. It must be completely blocked, and It's the kind you won't find in the future.

Tectero didn't understand why His Majesty gave such an order, but he still chose to obey completely, but Lilia was different. She could easily see what the Demon King was thinking.

If it is the original world, if it is not blocked, they can directly expand the black hole in space and return to the world over there, but in this way, the elves can also go there and return to the mortal world through the demon world and return to the elf forest.

In that case, they will inevitably return to opposing camps, and the elf will most likely sever the existing relationship with him.

That is definitely not something the Demon King can tolerate, so even if he gives up his own territory—after all, after coming here for so long, the Demon Realm’s territory has probably been divided up by the other six monarchs—he still wants to be by the Elf’s side.

It seems that now that they have discovered that the opposite world is not theirs, this black hole does not need to be completely blocked. After all, demonic energy is of great benefit to monsters. With it, they can collect some demonic energy regularly in the future.

Afterwards, they re-established a barrier on the underground laboratory and restored the damaged walls before leaving the ruins.

The demonic energy that has polluted the land in the ruins has not been cleaned up. Now the source has been blocked. Although the demonic energy here still exists, it will not continue to spread outwards. Keeping them will prevent others from entering the ruins.

Through the memory crystal, the Demon King saw the entire process of their operation. When he saw that the black hole was sealed, he showed an unprecedented smile to his knight commander and praised: "Well done, what do you want? A reward, Tectero."

The excited Horrible Knight Commander immediately knelt on the ground: "It is my honor to serve you. Besides, this is just a small thing and does not require any reward, Your Majesty!"

"No, you did a good job, and the reward is necessary." The Demon King looked at him, thought for a moment and said, "I have several sets of armors in my treasure house. You can choose one by yourself."

His Majesty's collection of armor!Tectello felt that he had been empty for a long time, and there seemed to be a heartbeat in his chest again.

At this time, even though Tectero felt that he had done nothing, as soon as he heard this reward, he could not refuse it.

Everyone knows that the things that can be collected by their Majesty are definitely the best, not to mention that it is armor, maybe it has been worn by His Majesty before!

Tectero suppressed his excitement and bowed solemnly: "Thank you very much for your generosity, Your Majesty!"

Lilia, who was standing aside, covered her mouth and chuckled. Her Tectello was still so easy to understand.

So silly and cute.

The author has something to say: Tectello: I just made a trip, and His Majesty gave me such a generous gift!

Lilia: Fool, he was happy to find out that demonic energy has nothing to do with the demonic world.

Elf: ...Even if it’s the Demon Realm, I won’t go back, okay? My original body is probably gone by now. Should I go back and be an NPC?I'm not stupid.
