In any case, the most important thing now is to confirm what accident happened in the ruins.
Taking out a magic crystal ball from the ring, Anvis tried to communicate with the outside world.
Fortunately, the light of the crystal ball flashed for a while and then lit up steadily, indicating that it was connected to the outside world.
"Anvis, can your crystal ball still work?"
On the side, Claire looked at Anvis with some doubts.
She also held a crystal ball in her hand, but its light was very dim, indicating that the remote magic link had completely failed.
And it wasn't just her, other nearby teams also had people with quick reactions, but except for Anvis, everyone's crystal balls had failed.
"Is yours no longer usable?"
Glancing at the crystal ball in her hand, Anvis roughly understood the situation of the ruins at this time.
"This is Oliventi's special secret crystal ball. The connection method is different from the ordinary communication crystal ball. It is connected through the subspace information entanglement mode, and can only be transmitted one-to-one with another matching crystal ball.
But the information it conveys is almost impossible to intercept, making it very suitable for delivering messages on such special occasions."
While explaining to the girl, Anvis sent a communication request.
After a moment, the old-fashioned and serious face of Butler Leonard appeared in the crystal ball.
"Your Excellency Anvis? Please wait a moment, I will notify the Duke immediately!"
When Leonard saw Anvis, he was surprised and immediately called Duke Carrot.
The clone of Avis carries a spare crystal ball, which leads to the special transition room of Moonlin Castle, which is under the direct care of Butler Leonard.
"Avis, how are you doing now? Is Fiona by your side? How is the situation inside the ruins? Is there any danger?"
After the call was connected, Duke Carlot's slightly urgent voice came out immediately, and at the same time he quickly glanced at the environment around Anvis.
"We are safe for the time being. Father, Fei is with my body. The one who is talking to you now is my clone. There have been many unknown passages inside the ruins before. For safety reasons, I controlled the clone to explore inside."
While quickly explaining the situation to the Duke, Anvis raised the crystal ball and looked in all directions of the cave hall.
"At the other end of the passage is a hall like this, with an altar-like structure in the center and a large stone bell placed above it..."
"No need to explain, I was there just now! I was just transferred out of the ruins along with the other ninth-level ones when something happened to the ruins."
But before Anvis could finish speaking, the Duke interrupted him hurriedly.
"Listen, Anvis, the ruins you are currently in have been teleported to the Endless Sea. There is a high probability that some kind of special recovery mechanism has been triggered, causing it to reunite with the other half of the ruins.
The entire ruins are being shrouded in some kind of special self-disciplined protective magic shield, and the outside world cannot be teleported in... The royal family is urgently trying to find a way to crack it..."
While Duke Carlot was speaking, the image of the crystal ball suddenly became a little unstable.
The Duke also noticed this and couldn't help but speed up his speech again.
"You are now on the high seas. The Saint Mecia Empire and the Kingdom Federation have... news that the ruins are about to be attacked... with a violent attack. Immediately take Feo... into the underground of the explored ruins...
Remember! Never break into another... ruins..."
But as he spoke, the instability of the crystal ball quickly began to worsen. Finally, after flashing, it went out instantly like other ordinary crystal balls.
It seems that the magic circle discovered this loophole that can transmit messages, so it temporarily added a patch.
Putting away the crystal ball, Anvis felt a little heavy.
Although the Duke's last words had become somewhat choppy, the general idea was still understandable.
News of the ruins teleportation has been leaked, and its location on the high seas means that the other two major forces can send ninth-level attacks openly and lift the upper limit of combat power.
To put it in perspective, if he were the top leader of the other two major forces, he would definitely want to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to nip the future of the Gloria Empire in the bud.
Even if the Gloria Empire is held accountable afterwards, it can still be presumed that it was accidental damage in the aftermath of the battle. As long as the empire does not want to start a full-scale war immediately, it must swallow this sigh of relief.
The meaning of the Duke's last words is very clear: take Fiona into the underground parts of the ruins that have been explored and never enter the unexplored parts of the ruins!
The huge risks in unexplored ruins are beyond their ability to bear. To stay on the surface of the ruins is to seek death. Once the protective shield of the ruins is cracked, they will definitely face a ninth-level covering attack from the enemy.
At that time, if you still stay on the surface, there will be only death.
After briefly explaining the situation to Claire, Anvis looked around the situation in the cave.
Some students became very alert and carefully paid attention to their surroundings, while others were at a loss and did not understand what was happening.
After being vigilant for a while, the other parts found that there were no subsequent abnormal changes, so they relaxed again and continued to do what they were doing before. Mining when it was time to mine, and researching the altar when it was time to research the altar.
The only difference is that the deputy dean disappeared again.
"Let's go and have a look at the altar too."
After observing for a while, Anvis spoke in a low voice.
"Okay, but I feel like there's something wrong with that clock. You have to be careful when checking it."
Claire nodded and softly expressed her opinion.
.….….
On the other side, the ruins surface.
Different from the scattered and chaotic state of everyone in the underground hall, after realizing that they had completely lost contact with the outside world, the few remaining seventh-level academy mages who maintained order immediately announced the temporary suspension of the competition in accordance with the emergency system.
At the same time, the descendants of the royal family and the four major families, as well as a small number of old students whose ranks were higher than the fourth level, also began to spontaneously call on many students to gather urgently to prevent accidents.
Like Anvis, they also learned more or less about the current status of the ruins and the current dangerous situation through their own channels.
As members of the four major families, Avis and Fiona are also helping to gather students everywhere.
At the Duke's request, Anvis never separated from Fiona.
The terrain of the ruins is very complex, but fortunately, after discovering abnormalities in the ruins, many students also spontaneously went to the surface to find out what happened.
After the gathering was basically completed, the college casters counted the number of people.
At the same time, after everyone temporarily exchanged information, they immediately decided that several seventh-level spellcasters from the academy would be the team leaders to protect many students and take refuge underground.
At the same time, the news that the ruins had entered the high seas spread quickly and reached the ears of other forces on the mainland.
Empire of Santa Mecia, Holy City of Gonzavalan.
The pope, dressed in white robes, prayed silently to the gods and then issued an edict. He dispatched the chief judge of the Inquisition and the agent of divine punishment, the judge, the two Knights of the Templars, and three of the seven bishops.
Let's go to 'explore' the underwater ruins together, and we are allowed to bring three God's Punishment Crystals with us.
Iter Federation, the Palace of Kings.
In the rare case where the three Speakers had the same opinion, many members of the House of Representatives urgently passed a resolution within one day to make the exact location of the ruins public. All ninth-level federations could go to the ruins to explore on their own, and at the same time, they allowed the use of terminal-level weapons.
