Meet the principal

The last scene was fixed on the scene of the figure walking into the ruins. Everyone was silent, shock lingering in their minds.

Saxon couldn't help but look ahead, into the magnificent black mist storm.

Even the legendary mage is afraid of other people in the field! ! ?

Moreover, even if the silver ball is not a solid object used for fighting, it is at least a device developed by Lord Alberton himself and capable of high movement in the magic turbulence. The opponent actually smashed it with one blow so lightly?

More importantly, the other party has entered the ruins. What is his purpose and what is his identity?

"The Star Gate has been sealed for a long time. Only people from the Magic Association can enter and exit. It is impossible for outsiders to come in."

Saxon took another look at the star gate behind him. There were multiple defensive formations surrounding this slightly smaller ring. Any existence that wanted to pass through the star gate would be detected by the formation.

"It's also possible that they were left behind when we moved the villagers."

Newington immediately spoke.

Before the villagers from Elliot's demiplane were transferred, this place had not been so tightly sealed. It was even possible that the opponent had been lurking in this demiplane as early as a year ago, when the ruins first appeared.

In any case, the fact that there are other people in the unknown ruins of Eliot's demiplane is undeniable.

"Being able to travel freely in such a storm, at least at a high level, is the strength of the eighth ring, no, probably the ninth ring."

Saxon speculated that he was inferring based on the image just now. The instantaneous destructive power, speed, and resistance to the surrounding environment can all be seen.

The person who just destroyed the silver ball was not simple.

"Such powerful people should be under the control of the association."

Newington looked at the clouds and fell into thinking.

Not all high-level mages will be included in the High-Level Council. There are also some high-level wizards left over from the ancient magic empire who are unwilling to join the High-Level Council and no longer have the will to fight. These people live in seclusion in their respective territories and regularly report to the Magic Council. Only by reporting the whereabouts of the association did they avoid being completely wiped out.

The figure just now was very powerful and must be a high-level mage or the same level. It was impossible not to be noticed by the Magic Association.

Either a certain high-level figure has bypassed the supervision of the Magic Association, or he has special abilities. Or, Newington did not mention the last hypothesis, which is that this person was originally in the ruins. , is part of the ruins.

This is the most incredible hypothesis and the most astonishing.

Because according to Sir Alberton's speculation, the history of this ruins even exceeds that of the ancient Magic Empire, and is thousands of years old. If that person has been sleeping in the ruins and only recently woke up, then his lifespan is also thousands of years long. .

How to ensure that the body does not decay for thousands of years, how to ensure that the soul remains intact for such a long time, and even how to ensure that it can still wake up after a thousand years, these are all things that mages cannot do now.

If this is true, then no mage can refuse the treasure contained in this ruins.

"Sir Alberton, can this detection spell be used again?"

Reiner asked. He had naturally considered these issues, but none of the mages spoke out, so he naturally remained silent. Although these mages were all his seniors, they would not do anything detrimental to him. , but Reiner still kept an eye on it. At least for now, he was unable to make a reasonable judgment without the information he received.

"It should take a day to get ready again, what's wrong?"

Lord Alberton seemed to be worried, and he looked at Reiner.

"I'm wondering if we can explore around the ruins again. This time we can take some soil and air samples, and even take samples of the building for analysis. If we can get samples of the building itself, I think I can provide more information. Lots of clues."

"That's okay. If you just extract the sample without considering the observation, you can get it back tonight."

Lord Alberton thought for a moment and said, then asked again.

"What new ideas do you have?"

Reiner's series of performances since he became famous have made no mage underestimate him. Who knows if he will have any earth-shattering ideas.

"I need to get samples before I can be sure. Before that, I can't make a conclusion."

Reiner didn't rush to explain, he didn't know yet whether his idea was correct.

Penzance glanced at Reiner, did not speak, and left silently.

In the afternoon, the storm has not stopped. You can see that the grassland close to the black fog storm is gradually being rolled up and sucked into it. The storm and desert are expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. It can be expected that if ignored, the weather will be worse in less than a month. In a short time, this half-plane will be completely swallowed up by the storm and become a dead zone that no one can approach.

In the evening, several high-level mages and the stationed mid-level mages had dinner together. The dishes were very simple. Under such circumstances, no one had the appetite to enjoy the food. After dinner, Lord Alberton invited Reiner and others People came to the rooftop and prepared to extract architectural samples of the ruins.

What was used this time was not a sphere, but a silver cone similar to a spindle, which was faster and easier to operate. The difference was that it could not carry a too complex array, and it did not have the ability to display the surrounding scenery in all directions like during the day. .

The night sky in Eliot's demiplane was clear and flawless, with stars that were completely different from the main plane shining. Only the gradually expanding storm cloud connected the sky and the earth, straddling the center of the field of vision, creating a huge sense of oppression.

The moonlight shone on the silver cone, and it flew quickly into the clouds. About twenty minutes later, the silver cone returned safely, and several sealed bottles flew out of it.

"Here's a soil sample, here's an air sample, here's a sample of gravel, this one, that's a fragment of a building."

Lord Alberton distinguished one by one.

Reiner picked up the bottle containing the building debris.

"According to the principle of radioactivity, radioactive elements actually release rays all the time. The release of these rays leads to a decrease in their mass. Eventually, one element will turn into another element or isotope with a lighter mass. This process I call for decay.”

He explained that at the same time, a complex magic circle was constructed in front of him. This was his exclusive magic computer.

Reiner carefully extracted some of the building fragments and put them into the calculation circle.

"The time it takes for half of the atoms of an element to decay into another element or isotope is called the half-life. By measuring the isotope content of a certain element in an object, we can accurately calculate how long the object has existed."

The calculation circle's light flowed, and the fragment rotated in it. After about ten minutes, Reiner got the final result. He was a little surprised, and he confirmed it again and again before displaying it in front of everyone.

"According to my measurement method, this building has existed for... more than seven thousand years..."

More than seven thousand years!

Lord Alberton's eyes widened slightly, this was a number he had not expected.

You know, the earliest history of the ancient magic empire is only three thousand years ago!
