The dark and deep cave is located on the side of an inconspicuous mountain col. It is blocked by two raised hills and blocked by woods. The underground space hidden under the tree cave has not seen the light of day for thousands of years.
If someone could look down at the Gorel Mountains from a high altitude through the cluttered plants that obscure their view, they would find that there is an unnatural depression in the center of the towering Gorel Mountains. Overall, this mountain valley looks like it was hit by a meteorite falling from the sky.
Generally, it is incompatible with the gentle mountain ridge line.
As if to cover up this discordant scar, the green vegetation in the mountain valley is very lush, comparable to some rainforests in the southern continent.
This also means that if someone is looking for it deliberately, it will be easy to find this special place.
Stepping into the dead tree hole, Mosley walked in the center of the team holding a torch, his eyes fixed on the glowing half of the broken crystal on his left hand, and he could no longer hold back the joy in his heart.
The broken crystal was excavated in the Atlan ruins northwest of the three peaks of Pagrus. In the ruins murals, it has been confirmed by the Heidi people as the main power source of the energy tower, and it has its own magic induction function within a certain distance.
"The energy crystal has a very clear response, everyone! This is the crypt leading to the ruins of Atlan. There is absolutely no mistake! There must be the same energy crystal below!"
After a small cheer, Mosley quickly sent two agile soldiers to Norska Castle to deliver the news and seek support from the troops stationed in the castle. He organized his own men to re-disguise the entrance and exit traces of the tree hole entrance, and then
Four clever soldiers were left to guard the entrance of the cave to avoid being blocked by others, and they led the remaining twenty or so people directly into the cave.
The deerskin boots splashed a lot of mud when they stepped on the damp mud, and the hem of the white cotton robe was also stained, but no one cared about it at all. Everyone just speeded up, and sure enough, ten minutes later,
The Heidi people who continued to delve deeper into the ground found a huge stone whose material was completely different from the surrounding rock walls.
There is dark red ore powder under the black-gray mottled stones, which is incompatible with the green rock wall.
Judging from the stones blocking the road, it looks like someone deliberately placed them here to block the road.
"Quincy, be careful."
Mosley looked at the big rock blocking the road, turned around, patted the pale-skinned old man, and warned him.
"Don't make the opening too big to prevent the cave from collapsing."
"Don't worry, Boss Mosley. If nothing else, I will never make any mistakes when digging for rocks. I have been digging for a lifetime, and I won't collapse even if I close my eyes."
Quincy, who was wearing an old miner's leather hat, rubbed his hands and pressed them on the black-gray stone wall. A white magical halo emerged from his hands, and the rock wall began to vibrate continuously with the rhythm of magic.
The rocks fell off like collapsed gravel during the vibration.
Quincy laughed proudly.
"I didn't expect that this old bone like me would one day witness the ruins of Atlan in person. It's not a loss in my life. It's really a loss. I actually accomplished something as great as the Lord of the City."
"Be proud, old Quincy."
A young Heidi mage smiled and said: "Not only will we witness the ruins, we will also use the power of Atlan to conquer the entire continent of Valoran under the leadership of the city lord. Even the gods are no match for the Atlan Magic Energy Tower."
, we will become the most powerful country on the continent of Valoran, and Noxus and bullshit Demacia will surrender under our feet."
"That's right, as long as we can get the process drawings of the energy tower, we can conquer the world!"
"Okay you guys, don't delay Quincy's work."
"Hey, don't miss anything."
After laughing and scolding, Mosley said with emotion.
"It is said that every once in a while, a continental power will appear that can conquer the world. The last time was the warlord U'zul who prospered in the Dalmo Plain. He established a dark empire that conquered most of Valoran. Unfortunately, it only lasted a few years.
It disappeared after a hundred years. I heard that Heidi City was completely closed during that time. When we came out of the northern ice sea again, the owners of the Immortal Fortress had been replaced by Noxians..."
Quincy moved very quickly, and the two-meter-thick hard rock was cut at will like a piece of cake in his hands.
"Huhuhu~"
The moment the stone was broken through, a cold, dry wind blew in from the gap, making old Quincy shiver. Suddenly, he seemed to hear the woman's mournful cry. When he calmed down,
I listened again, but couldn't hear anything. There was dead silence in the cave.
Suspecting that it was his own delusion, in order to avoid being laughed at by his younger generation for being timid, Old Quincy did not explain the abnormality just now to others, but secretly raised some vigilance in his heart.
Quincy made a small hole in the stone blocking the road for two people to walk side by side. Mosley sent one person to enter first. After confirming that there was no danger, he followed.
Under the light of the torch, the environment behind the stones did not change much. At the end of the firelight was complete darkness, the terrain was still gradually going downwards, and the atmosphere began to become a little depressing.
Seeing that no one else was willing to speak, Old Quincy, who was walking in the front half of the team, tried to break the somewhat oppressive atmosphere.
"Don't look at it. It's dark here and there's nothing there. In fact, we are already deep underground now. Did you hear the whirring sound? The air here is circulating. In addition to the place where we came in, there may be connections to the outside world in other places.
Ventilation..."
"Okay, my omnipotent Quincy, don't show off your profound knowledge. The most urgent task now is to find the ruins quickly. Then you can show off your skills."
Mosley spoke without looking back, and the crowd chuckled a few times. Quincy smiled coquettishly and stopped talking.
After walking for about half an hour, the natural rock wall finally turned into artificial indigo square bricks. Various mica and cluster crystals grew in the damaged areas, reflecting the dazzling colors under the light of the torch.
.
"This is the Atlan people's favorite indigo mixed brick. It will last for a hundred years and will last for thousands of years. I don't know what materials the Atlan people added to the mixed brick. Such a turning head has the characteristic of absorbing mana fluctuations. Although it is not
There are many, but it can also play a role in isolating detection."
Picking up indigo blue gravel the size of a finger, as a Heidi who had excavated the ruins of Atlan once, Mosley knew that any technology of the Atlan people was of inestimable value.
"If we can obtain the manufacturing technology of mixed bricks, our architecture will make great progress. I really don't know how such a powerful nation disappeared from history... Please be careful after entering the ruins.
There are some dangerous mechanisms that need to be cracked."
