Act 406. Eliot Half Plane
As soon as the two got off the aerobatic, they saw a black cloud in front of them.
The vast plain is full of green, but right in front of your vision, a thick haze covers the sky, and a cluster of dark wind and sand swept through it, as if it was about to devour the world.
If you look down from mid-air, you can see that in the middle of the endless wilderness, the black wind covered the sky, just like a bottomless vortex appeared in a green ocean, swallowing everything around you.
"This place was originally a good place to raise cattle and sheep, and the soil was rich. Unfortunately, since about a year ago, the influence of the ruins has become stronger and stronger. It has reached its peak in the past six months. The black storm is not only sand, but also magical turbulence, which is enough to devour most of the middle and low-level mages."
Waiting for them on the small apron was William Saxon, an advanced mage of the Eighth Ring. His most famous achievement was that he founded Calculus almost at the same time as Lord Isaris Alberton, but at that time, Saxon was already a member of the High Council, and Lord Alberton was just a fledgling intermediate mage.
"His Excellency Saxony, there should be no other irrelevant personnel in this half plane now?"
Penzans looked around and asked casually.
"All the Aboriginal people have moved away, and now there are only people related to the Magic Society."
While leading the way, Saxon explained.
"Originally, there was a small desert in the middle. According to historical records, it only occupied about one-twentieth of the land three hundred years ago and there was no expansion. Until a year ago, a storm suddenly broke out here and the desert gradually expanded, which attracted the attention of the Magic Association. After investigation, a very deep hidden ruin was discovered."
The three of them came to a town, which seemed to be the place where the herders lived in the past, but now they are empty, and the huge town is silent, forming a sharp contrast with the rumbling storm in the distance, making it even more weird and terrifying.
They walked into the building that was originally a town council hall, where the wizards who had arrived before were already sitting at the round table of the council hall.
In the middle, naturally, the host of this inspection mission, the legendary wizard Isaris Alberton, holding a few pieces of parchment in his hand, with a solemn expression, as if he was in deep thought.
Next to His Excellency Alberton was the Elemental Department of Dana, Surrey Newington. He was also reading the contents of the parchment paper. When he saw someone coming in, he raised his head slightly, but was stunned when he saw Penzance next to Saxony.
After a few seconds, he lowered his head hesitantly, as if he was continuing to read, but he was already absent-minded.
At the same time, His Excellency Penzance also looked at the former student. He was a little shaken, and then looked at His Excellency Alberton, as if he was a little confused about why he wanted to summon himself and Newington.
Everyone knows that Newington was once a student of Penzance, but the two were inconsistent on the nature of light and could not reconcile and eventually broke up. Newington also broke away from the mercury balance and joined the Storm Council of the Elemental System. Over the years, they have not communicated in a word.
Even after Reiner proved the wave-particle duality of light, the relationship between the two did not ease much. After all, the fact that Newington was separated from the mercury balance was too bad in Penzance's opinion, and Newington could not leave the Storm Council and return to the mercury balance now.
In most cases, even other high-level mages will try to avoid letting the two of them get close to each other. But for some reason, Lord Alberton summoned them so unlucky.
Four advanced mages, including Reiner, and a legendary mage. From Reiner's perspective, this ruin exploration team can be said to be extremely luxurious.
"You guys are here, sit down first."
His Excellency Alberton came to his senses from his thoughts, looked at Lena and Penzance who had just arrived, and signaled them to sit.
When Reiner sat down, Lord Alberton waved his hand and a few pieces of parchment flew to Reiner and Penzance.
"This is the current investigation report about the ruins, and I named it Breath of the Wild."
The naming of ruins is determined by the wizard in charge of the investigation. The ruins recorded in history are generally called by their original names, while these unknown ruins are mostly determined based on their characteristics or core things of the ruins.
For example, the half-plane that Penzance mentioned before was raging by the storm, this ruin is called the Heart of the Storm. It was eventually extracted as its core magic prop and became the main component of the defensive magic that enveloped the Storm Council and the top of the spiral cloud.
Reiner nodded and picked up the parchment and read it carefully.
At the beginning, there was a situation about this half plane. It can be seen that this half plane had almost no war. In the past, it was the territory of a legendary wizard of ancient magic empires, but that priest seemed to have forgotten this place for a long time. Only herders rely on animal husbandry to make a living. The desert in the middle of the half plane has always existed, and there was nothing in the past. It was not until recently that there were ruins.
As for the reason for the occurrence of the ruins, it is a coincidence. A year ago, a group of people came to the Elliott half plane. They were originally a mining team that a chamber of commerce was wandering in various half planes to explore the mineral veins. This group of people came to the desert of the Elliott half plane and accidentally triggered the protection mechanism of the ruins. All the unlucky guys were killed, and this ruin also surfaced.
Such examples are not uncommon. Many ruins have powerful defense and concealment abilities, which has prevented them from being discovered for many years. However, as time goes by, some concealing spells gradually become invalid, which makes these ruins that have been hidden for many years appear in people's sight.
Continue reading down, Reiner began to read the part about the remains that has been discovered.
Surrounding the ruins is a powerful storm, which is mixed with sand and gravel, and at the same time, it is surrounded by magical turbulence, forming a barrier that makes most of the exploration spells invalid. Even astrology at the level of legendary mages is difficult to predict the dangers.
His Excellency Alberton once entered the Storm Center alone, but for safety reasons, he did not go too far. He recorded his experiences and repeated them on parchment.
The center of Storm is a well-preserved building with almost no damage. The entire building is hemispherical, about five stories high, and there are no creatures around the building, but there are strong magic barriers. From the appearance, the purpose of this building cannot be distinguished.
However, Lord Alberton felt a strong turbulence of primitive magic from the building, and a slight leakage alone was enough to stir up this wild storm.
