People Are In The Magical World, There Is No Magic Power

"It's done."

Belalia's hand that was holding the brush loosened. As the brush fell, it quickly turned into specks of light and disappeared.

"Is it so short after leaving contact?" Rowan asked.

"I didn't inject too much magic power."

Belaria replied while deciphering the words on the dusted wall.

Rowan looked at the words for a while and felt a headache coming on.

These ancient words were only slightly better than the oracle bone inscriptions.

"What's written on it?"

"The research institute is on the right, a square on the left, and the palace in front.

Belaria quickly finished deciphering.

"Let's go forward. Other than the palace in the deepest part of the ruins that is closed by the metal gate, the other places have been visited by the officials.

The two chose to go forward.

"I'm a bit concerned about the research institute," Rowan suddenly said.

The smart Belaria knew what Rowan meant. He put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and shook his head. "It's been thousands of years. With the ancient preservation technology that wasn't advanced, the research materials inside have long been corrupted by time. The remaining ones have been taken away by the officials.

"Okay."

Rowan shrugged helplessly.

"But I have a question. Since the metal gate can't be opened, can't we dig the wall?"

This was the so-called "if the door can't be opened, then the wall can be broken".

Belaria said concisely, "The ruins' array."

"Got it."

The palace is protected by the ruins' array …

The two walked quietly in the passage. For a moment, they didn't speak. Only the "ding ding" sound of Rowan using Magic Breaker to explore the path sounded rhythmically.

But Rowan didn't feel the atmosphere was awkward.

On the contrary, he kind of enjoyed this kind of peaceful atmosphere with familiar and close people by his side.

Where's Sister Belaria?

Rowan turned around and glanced at Belaria who was walking behind him.

Rowan caught the beautiful scientist's unconsciously curled lips.

"What's wrong?"

Belaria returned to his expressionless face. Even if he didn't show any expression on his face with faint dark circles, he still gave off the unique flavor of a sickly beauty.

"About my blood, how's your research going?"

Rowan naturally changed the topic.

Belalia and Rowan looked into each other's eyes and said, "Other than the fact that they don't have any magic power and are much more active than normal people, everything else is the same as a normal human being. I haven't discovered anything yet."

Proficient in micro-expressions and psychology, she could tell that he was deliberately changing the topic to cover something else, but she didn't care.

She just needed to listen when he wanted to say it.

"Well … I guess it's within my expectations."

Rowan said as expected.

Needless to say, he had no magic power. With his high purity, it was normal for him to be far more active than ordinary people.

Magic affinity was related to the soul, so studying flesh and blood would not yield any results.

Along the way, the two of them chatted here and there. They also passed by a few forks in the road, but the two of them kept walking in the direction of the palace.

"Swish, swish …"

At a fork in the road where there was only a straight path and a right turn, Belalia brushed the dust off the wall and read the words on it.

"If you walk straight, you'll still reach the palace. If you turn right, you'll reach the secret guardians' headquarters."

"I've never heard of your name."

"It should be a special organization of this ancient empire, just like our operation team."

After a short conversation, Rowan continued to walk in the direction of the palace with Broken Demon in hand.

"The headquarters of a special organization is usually closer to the palace, right?"

"High probability," Belalia said.

"Then the next place should be the palace."

"70% chance."

"Probabilities again, huh …"

Their voices echoed in the spacious secret passage.

Deep in the ruins.

A few professors and students were walking toward the metal door in the innermost part.

What was noticeable was that there was a thick layer of constantly flowing silver liquid on the way forward.

Everyone stepped on the layer of solidified mercury as they moved forward. The mercury at the back quickly flowed to the front to make sure that everyone was walking on the mercury path to avoid the risks of the ruins' traps.

"This classmate, I really have to thank you."

The old professor in the lead thanked Julia warmly.

"As expected of a top student from Dawn Academy, you're very good at using magic.

"You're welcome, I'm just a theoretical student."

Julia looked embarrassed. Lian Min.

"My mercury magic can only be used for auxiliary tasks like exploring. Also, as you said before, there's basically no danger in the ruins. Even without me, everyone can still move forward safely."

"You can't say that. Whether it's dangerous or not is one thing, whether it's helpful or not is another. Of course, we have to thank you!" The old professor retorted kindly.

"Ah!

It's the palace! "

Suddenly, a first-year student who came to the ruins for the first time exclaimed.

Everyone turned their attention to the front.

They saw a huge palace standing about a thousand meters away, a sharp contrast with the other small buildings around it.

"We're finally here."

The old professor was a little excited.

"Let's go!"

Everyone quickly moved forward and arrived at the palace after ten minutes.

The palace's door was tightly shut, giving off an indestructible feeling. They didn't know what kind of metal it was made of.

There was an inverted triangular groove in the center of the door. There was nothing in the groove, waiting for the "key" to appear.

"Is this the metal door that can't be opened?"

The students who saw the door for the first time were surprised.

"Yes, that's it."

The old professor made a sound of affirmation. Then, he took out a rectangular silver box from his storage equipment.

After opening the box, there were all kinds of strange devices inside. At least, the students present couldn't understand them. Only a few professors showed a thoughtful expression.

"Professor, what is this?"

Julia asked, looking eager to learn.

"This is a forced spatial teleportation device, my latest invention.

The old doctor explained as he fiddled with the device in the box.

"Unlike ordinary spatial teleportation, this device has a powerful 'space-piercing' ability. It can forcibly break open space to perform short-distance teleportation when space is very stable. It's one of my proudest works."

Julia came to a realization. "You don't intend to deal with this metal door, but to forcibly break open the spatial confinement of the relic's array and directly teleport to the other side of the metal door?"

The relic had a powerful spatial restriction. This was something their teacher had mentioned before they entered the relic.

"That's right!"

The old doctor smiled and nodded, confirming Julia's guess.

"What is a 'door'?"

"The so-called 'door' is actually a physical entity that divides a limited space. It can connect and block the entrances and exits of two or more spaces. It doesn't necessarily have to be a door installed in a person's home in the conventional sense."

"As long as my device can take us into the palace, then it will be considered as' opening the door '!"

The group of students revealed a slightly shocked expression. As expected of a senior doctor, he was indeed amazing.

Only a man and a woman's expressions were uncertain as they thought about the next countermeasures in their minds.

The two of them were radicals. If this old doctor succeeded, they would set out to seize the treasures that might be in the palace.

According to the previous exploration of a large number of people and the summary research of various experts, especially the analysis of the few words left behind by the relic research institute, both radicals and conservatives could be certain that there was a high probability that there were very precious treasures in the palace.

The two radicals had already begun to secretly mobilize the magic power in their bodies.

Once the old doctor succeeded, the two of them would immediately launch an attack and catch everyone off guard.

The old doctor finished adjusting the device, estimated the thickness of the metal door, and then activated the device.

The device vibrated slightly, and the magic power stored in it was quickly consumed.

"Those who want to enter the palace, stand within ten meters of the device. The device will begin the teleportation in ten seconds!"

The old doctor called out, and everyone approached the device.

While waiting, even the two radicals were a little nervous.

Soon, ten seconds passed.

The device emitted a faint blue light. It seemed that the teleportation was about to be completed.

But immediately after a "bang", the blue light quickly dimmed, and the device gradually stopped operating.

A wisp of smoke came out of the device.

"This is … a malfunction?"

Julia asked cautiously.

The old professor frowned and squatted down to test the device that seemed to be malfunctioning.

Everyone waited patiently at the side.

Soon, the old professor came to a conclusion.

"Sigh …"

The old doctor sighed helplessly.

"What's going on?

Is it a malfunction or something else? "A younger doctor asked.

The old doctor shook his head and said, "It's not a malfunction. It's just that the spatial stability of this ruin is too strong, beyond the tolerance range of the device. The device overloaded and broke.

Is that so?

The professors and students present looked at each other and felt that it was a pity.

They thought they could be the first lucky ones to enter the relic.

The two Radicals also let go of their magic and thought to themselves, "Looks like we won't be able to enter this time either."

However, the disappointed crowd did not notice that while they were feeling dejected, the silver liquid wrapped around something and made a big circle before quietly climbing up the metal door out of everyone's sight.

"Crack!"

A very obvious soft sound attracted the attention of the silent crowd.

Looking in the direction of the sound, everyone was stunned for a moment before falling into shock.

On the metal door, the originally empty groove was filled with an inverted triangular object that matched the shape of the object. They could also see an extended mercury near the groove.

Everyone immediately thought of the only person present who used mercury.

However, before they could take any further action, Li Yundong's expression changed.

"Rumble …"

The groove emitted a white light, and the metal door that couldn't be shaken by the seventh step and above began to vibrate.

"Ah ~, it actually worked ~"

Completely different from the previous obedient students, a voice with arrogance, joy, and even a little bit of sickness sounded behind everyone.

The mercury that was under everyone's feet suddenly surged violently.

A small device was revealed, and there was one under everyone's feet.

"~4444"

A small sound came from the small device.

"Bang …"

The sound of a student who had fainted sounded.

Immediately, like dominoes, the students, doctors, and professors fell to the ground one by one.

The only people left standing were Julia, the old doctor, and the man from the Radical faction.

The old doctor did not have the small device under his feet, but he was firmly bound by the surging mercury.

The male student from the Radical Faction could not exert any strength at all. He could not muster the magic power in his body, and he was in a weakened state.

"Ugh … Is it still not enough for a fourth-step Mage?"

Julia placed one hand behind her back and tapped her slightly pouted red lips with the other. She had an innocent expression as she spoke.

"He said that the magic equipment he spent a lot of effort to craft had accidentally exploded in his pocket when he was testing the flying magic equipment he prepared for the exam, knocking him out and falling from the sky … It seems like I've underestimated the class of the fourth-tier."

"......!"

He was the only fourth-rank radical student in the room, and he looked at Julia in fear.

He did not expect the Daybreak Mercenary Group to not only be his enemies, but also Julia who appeared out of nowhere!

Who was she?!

"What about you?"

Julia walked toward the Radical Faction male student.

She passed by the third-step Radical Faction female student who had fainted.

"Hiss!"

Mercury, who was wearing white sneakers, suddenly turned into several sharp blades and cut the unconscious female student into dozens of pieces, brutally dismembering her body.

Blood splattered onto Julia's body, and even her face.

Julia, who had casually killed someone, extended her tender red tongue and licked the blood at the corner of her lips. Her lips curled up in an exaggerated manner, and ten sinister and twisted smiles appeared on her beautiful face.

Her expression was similar to Yan Yi's, and it was a stark contrast to her studious and intellectual appearance.

"Ahhh … What an exciting smell!

An unnatural flush appeared on Julia's face. She touched her red lips with her fingers in a slightly sick manner. Her eyes were filled with excitement and coldness as she stared at the person in front of her. The mercury that had turned into sharp blades revolved around her.

"Don't you think so, fellow student?"

The Radical Faction male student who was facing Julia no longer had any other thoughts in his mind. All that was left was fear.
