"Seven thousand years of history... Reiner, are you sure?"

Lord Alberton was astonished and confirmed to Reiner that after all, the seven thousand years was just what Reiner said, and there might be errors in it.

"At least more than six thousand years, less than eight thousand years, I think there should be a history of seven thousand years."

Reiner projected his measurement and calculation process. These high-level mages quickly understood the principles and repeated the calculations themselves before finally accepting the result.

"Reiner, do you know what seven thousand years of history means?"

Penzance, who had been silent, asked.

"Seven thousand years means that this building has surpassed the history of the ancient magic empire. It is the age of faith and the product of the age of gods."

Reiner replied, of course he knew that this building obviously contains extremely high magical energy, and its structural structure is also extremely stable. It is now measured to have a history of more than seven thousand years, which is equivalent to the discovery of a new building on the earth. Skyscrapers from the days of slavery are incredible.

The Age of Faith, when the gods still existed, was called the Dark Ages in some records, and the Age of Gods in some records. At that time, the gods controlled all the laws of the world, and each church was the supreme power. At its peak, until the emergence of the first mage, it brought about changes in magic, eventually overthrowing the rule of the gods and establishing the ancient magic empire of supreme glory.

Later, through archeology and research, people roughly came to the conclusion that the so-called gods in the era of belief were just more powerful mortals. Due to various reasons, either born or acquired, they gained the power to control magic power, so they were regarded as gods. After the mages analyzed the magic, these so-called gods became vulnerable and fell one after another.

The life of ordinary people in the age of faith was extremely difficult. They worked at sunrise and rested at sunset every day. They had no entertainment, no dreams, and no opportunity for education. They were just convenient production tools, and some people have awakened. People with the ability to control magic will be quickly absorbed by the Holy See.

Being brainwashed into being one ultimately creates a huge class divide.

Therefore, precisely because of this social structure, there are very few surviving documents about the era of faith. Most of them were destroyed due to wars. A few of them are just internal records of the Holy See, and few mention the people at the bottom.

"The last ruins of the Age of Gods that were excavated were the tomb of Ragnarok, the god of death and rebirth. The ruins were filled with all kinds of magical creatures that had mutated out of control. In the center of the ruins, Ragnarok's remains had long since decayed, but The magic power in it affects the surroundings, causing people to fall into madness and even mutate."

said Newington, glancing at Penzance casually, and then continued.

"In order to thoroughly explore the ruins, at least two high-level mages died, and more than sixteen mid-level mages died. But in the end, Ragnarok's remains were taken out, and its powerful power that lasted for thousands of years could not be analyzed at all. It was able to be sealed and is still sleeping at the bottom of the Magic Association's warehouse."

His words made Saxon shake his head slightly.

"Not every Age of Gods ruins will present such a threat, but from the safest situation, we still have to wait for support to arrive."

Whether it is the raging magic storm or the strange figure in the ruins, they are extremely unstable elements, highlighting the extraordinary nature of this ruins everywhere.

Waiting for support is naturally the best option, but Reiner is worried about whether the time left for them is enough.

"It will take at least three days for the other legendary mages to arrive in the Eliot demiplane. Before that, we'd better not act rashly."

Lord Alberton felt the seriousness of the matter. He glanced at the star gate behind him before continuing.

"The only thing I'm worried about now is whether the ruins will get out of control."

If the ruins get out of control, then this storm will not only gradually engulf the surroundings, but also the magical storm will cover the entire Eliot demiplane in an instant, and even cause instability in the entire demiplane. In the worst case, It may cause the demiplane to collapse!

Originally, according to previous observation data, it would be at least a few months before the Eliot demiplane was completely swallowed up by the storm. But now, after confirming the existence of other people in the ruins, this prediction has been overturned.

Regardless of whether the opponent is an outsider or someone who originally existed in the ruins, this is a huge variable that will most likely induce the accelerated collapse of the entire ruins.

"A few of us take turns to be on duty and continue to observe the data. If there is an emergency, we have no choice but to abandon this ruins."

Saxon suggested that no one objected to his statement. Although the ruins from the Age of Gods contained many secret treasures, it was not worth taking such a big risk.

With that confirmed, the first day's shift was run by Reiner.

Several high-level mages returned to their rooms to study or rest, while Reiner was on duty on the rooftop of the meeting hall, monitoring the movements of the ruins through the many observation tools left by Lord Alberton.

The night was very long. While paying attention to various values ​​​​related to the ruins, Reiner used his magic computer to conduct tests on various samples collected previously.

He discovered that there was an extremely high concentration of magic floating in the air near the ruins. This magic was different from the magic that mages could usually control, but an unstable magic that was about to explode. Walking in such air, it was like being constantly touched. Tiny bombs, every trace of magic power will cause resonance and backlash from the magic power flowing in the mage's body, which is why it is difficult for mid-level mages to survive in it.

According to Mr. Alberton, there is a very high magic reaction inside the ruins. The magic storms outside are only caused by the slight magic power leaked from the ruins. This shows the density of magic power in the ruins.

In addition, the soil near the ruins has also become different due to the erosion of magic power. Reiner has detected many radioactive elements, which means that this desert is no longer just an uninhabited wasteland, but also a place where creatures can enter once they step into it. It will be a place of death that will be exposed to strong radiation.

The night was still long, and Reiner looked through the historical records about Eliot's demiplane, hoping to find some clues. However, these records had obviously been read by high-level mages, and Reiner could not find any. New things.

The middle-level mages who stayed behind were a little sleepy, but Reiner did not feel tired. Finally, the fish belly white gradually appeared in the corner of the sky. A new day came, and Reiner's duty came to an end.

But the moment he saw Lord Penzance flying up to the top floor, a shock wave of magic came from the direction of the ruins.
