Act 414. Black Pillar

Newington originally wanted to determine the material of the black pillar by observing its surface structure, but now he got unexpected results.

"Even at this magnification, there are still no gaps visible, which means that the material making up the black pillars is denser than we imagined."

Newington explained that it was clear that the craftsmanship of the black pillar was ahead of its time, and surprisingly, it was an artifact from seven thousand years ago!

Mages firmly believe that history is constantly moving forward, and actual records also confirm this. Modern magic has surpassed the ancient Magic Empire in terms of spell casting efficiency and convenience, and the spells of the Ancient Magic Empire are also far behind. The magic of the so-called gods in the era of belief has never been better than that of modern items. So far, there has never been a situation where ancient items are stronger than modern items.

Mages pursue relics just to reveal history, obtain some magic props made by ancient people at great cost, or browse ancient spells to find inspiration. You must know that in the age of faith, the so-called God of Fire was just a fireball. Just a guy of low-level mage level.

But now, this black pillar far exceeded everyone's expectations. Its material and production process were beyond the understanding of modern magic. This was what shocked Newington the most.

Reiner did not have this idea. He did not have such deep-rooted ideas as Newington. In his understanding, the reason why ancient times lasted for many years must have its own uniqueness. Therefore, he was more curious about what kind of power it was. Only then can this black pillar take on such a posture.

Lord Alberton thought for a while before speaking.

"Everyone, I want to conduct a thorough investigation on this black pillar. What do you think?"

The so-called thorough investigation means that the pillar may be destroyed. Several people were silent for a moment after hearing this, but no one raised any objections.

Generally speaking, this method is used as a last resort, mostly when faced with things that cannot be dealt with, or that will cause huge problems if not dealt with in time. The black pillar in front of you obviously belongs to the former.

Lord Alberton nodded and raised his hands. An invisible vortex immediately appeared in the space, distorting the surrounding scenery.

This vortex comes into contact with the black pillar and is about to twist it.

But the next moment, a figure appeared, and at the same time there was a burning breath.

"stop."

Reiner seemed to hear a somewhat familiar voice. Before he could react, the entire hall was surrounded by scorching flames. Lord Alberton's space vortex sucked in a large amount of flames and deviated from its original trajectory.

"who?"

Lord Alberton immediately pointed his left hand at the opponent, and the space distortion that had just killed the giant beast appeared. However, with a gentle wave of the opponent's hand, everything disappeared.

"How can it be?"

Newington's eyes widened. The legendary mage's representative attack spell was erased in such an understatement. Then how strong the opponent's strength must be.

In the flames that filled the entire hall, subtle changes were also taking place at the same time.

There was only a slight fluctuation in the black pillar. Just as Reiner looked at the pillar, he felt a change in the surrounding space.

It's like traveling into an unstable demiplane,

When he came to his senses, Reiner found himself in a corridor.

This corridor is different from the previous corridor. The dim light above the head shines, there are visible corners at the front and back, and there are several doors. It looks like an ordinary corridor. However, these doors are not stone doors, but iron doors. The door has no lock and can be opened with a push.

Reiner was a little confused about the situation. Wasn't he attacked in the hall before? Why did he suddenly come here again?

He tried to push open a door with the hand of a mage, but surprisingly found that the magic power that could be mobilized in the air was very little, and he could hardly release the spell smoothly.

Dead zone!

During the wars in the ancient Magic Empire, in the battlefield ruins where high-level wizards or legendary wizards fell, due to the high intensity of spell casting, the magic power floating in the air was extremely rare, and there has been no change in the past hundreds of years. Such an area is a dead place. The domain, even if a legendary mage is in it, may not be able to perform magic smoothly. It is a real mage cemetery.

"How could something like this happen here?"

Reiner was very confused. You must know that the ruins just now had extremely abundant magic power, but here it was completely the opposite.

Having lost his greatest support, Reiner was not too panicked. At least his body nourished by magic power was still the same. No one could use magic, and he could still rely on his fists.

He carefully opened the door and could see that the room was small, with a decayed iron bed, table and chairs, and it looked like a single room.

He opened several more doors. These rooms were all uniformly decorated, and it seemed that the people living here had a high degree of discipline.

Reiner tried to contact the outside world, but all communication magic failed. In addition to the characteristics of the dead zone, there seemed to be extremely strong magic interference here.

Reiner could only pay attention to the surrounding disturbances while continuing to move forward.

At this moment, he noticed the slight footsteps coming from ahead. Reiner held his breath and looked towards the direction of the sound.

In the light, a figure gradually approached. He seemed not to be aware of Reiner's presence and walked forward in a swaggering manner.

The moment the opponent emerged from around the corner, Reiner moved.

He took a step forward, causing the stagnant air around him to roar. Reiner quickly approached the opponent. After confirming at first sight that he was not his companion, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the opponent's shoulder, and counterattacked the opponent at an extremely fast speed. All movements, pressing him to the ground, firmly controlling the opponent.

"Who are you?"

At this time, Reiner was able to confirm the appearance of the other party.

This person was wearing a black and white skirt with simple ruffles. One of her hands was held behind her back by Reiner, causing her whole body to lie on the ground, but she did not struggle.

Reiner saw this person's golden hair tied into a ponytail on the back of her head, and then saw her profile.

"It's you?"

This was a person who was beyond Reiner's expectations. He never expected to meet this person in this place.

"Hello, Master Reiner."

The other party spoke, but his voice was still cold and had a mechanical quality that could not be heard.

Yes, the one currently being pinned down by Reiner is the maid next to Reiner's sister Phyllis, Hellaison.
