The crack was much deeper than it appeared on the surface, and it took a long time for many Pamir students to fall to the bottom.
Anvis dispersed the magic power protecting his hair, and with a gesture, he habitually added a low-level dark vision to himself, and calmly looked at the surrounding environment.
Due to lack of experience, many students changed their hairstyles due to the strong wind blowing from the cracks, making them look very elegant and free.
At the bottom of the crack, there is a huge dark space, with obvious signs of opening up in many places.
As far as the eye can see ahead, a huge black shadow stretches across the depths of the space, dull and depressing.
After everyone landed on the ground, Nancy waved gently.
The ball of light suspended above her head flew high into the sky, and then emitted a blazing white light as bright as the sun.
The surrounding darkness reluctantly receded under the force of this light, and the ruins of the ancient city that had been sleeping in the darkness for countless years, like a giant beast from the prehistoric Hades, finally revealed its ruins in front of everyone.
The statues inscribed with eulogies have been eroded over the years, and the graceful towers have turned into ruins piled with rocks. Signs of collapse and destruction can be seen everywhere in the gorgeous buildings and gardens, with only the broken walls remaining standing stubbornly.
Today, the light from unknown millions of years has once again illuminated this once prosperous lost city.
"This is a new discovery by the academy's explorers, the remains of an abandoned high elf city that experienced a war in ancient times.
The explorers have simply cleaned up this place, and there is basically no danger."
"However, I hope you remember one thing."
As he spoke, the young tutor holding the magic book turned her head, and the black eyes behind the lenses looked at everyone seriously.
"The most deadly factor in the ruins is definitely not any traps or dangers, but stems from one's own carelessness!"
After saying that, Nancy took the lead and led everyone along the open main city gate and slowly entered the ruins of the city.
"Pay attention to the streamlined lines and inscriptions on the building, as well as the carved decorative structures and tall domes. This is a very typical style of the middle and early Golden Age.
At that time, the main living area of the high elves was not the City in the Sky..."
While walking along the central avenue, Nancy used her marking magic to highlight various parts of the ruins that needed attention and memory and that best reflected the typical characteristics of the high elf style.
The high elves lived in the ancient golden age millions of years ago and were one of the rulers of the continent in the ancient era.
Every ordinary high elf can naturally reach the fourth level when he reaches adulthood.
This sounds incomparable to the various legendary races that were rampant on the continent at that time, such as dragons and titans that could automatically reach the seventh level after reaching adulthood.
But the real power of the high elves lies in their unparalleled magical talent and affinity with magic.
As the darlings of magic, their research on magical power is at its peak.
One after another, terrifying super-level magics were created and controlled by them. In that era when legendary creatures were rampant across the continent, an extremely splendid magical civilization was developed.
The supreme magical creation, the City in the Sky, was created by the high elves.
.….….
"Have you seen the lines of inscriptions on those buildings? You can get closer, observe carefully, look at the details, touch the surface, knock a piece to analyze its material, use your mental power to detect its magical properties, etc.
Don't worry about breaking them, it's just a learning process. Use whatever method you have at your disposal to learn as much about their features as you can..."
"Boom - bang -"
It seemed that the arrival of everyone had destroyed some fragile balance. Before Nancy could finish her words, a building on the roadside collapsed.
Many students hurriedly avoided the billowing dust, and the scene suddenly seemed a bit chaotic.
"Attention, these ancient buildings are already very fragile and may collapse if you are not careful. You must pay attention to your own safety when detecting!"
Glancing at the smoke and dust caused by the collapse of the ruins, Nancy seriously reminded everyone who was startled, and at the same time opened the heavy books in her hands.
A circle of light yellow magic ripples swept across, and under the influence of ground magic, the rising dust clouds quickly settled and fell to the ground.
This episode passed quickly. After applying protective spells to themselves, the formations of many students began to disperse slightly, each observing the unique features of these ancient buildings.
In the crowd, by checking the wall, Anvis, as if unintentionally, approached the blond half-elf girl who was lagging at the end of the team.
She was carefully observing the inscription on a carving. The soft light of the candlelight technique reflected on her fair and crystal-clear side face. Under the cover of her long golden hair, a cute pointed ear was looming.
Although many students still gather together now, she always keeps some distance from the people around her, as if she is deliberately isolating herself.
Anvis is now 80% sure that this girl is the second target he is looking for.
Noticing the young man's approach, the girl took two steps to the side without leaving any trace.
He was a little speechless, but Avis also realized that it was still not a good time to talk to Claire.
So, he pretended to have just noticed the girl, showed a simple and harmless smile, and nodded to her in a friendly manner.
The girl was slightly stunned. She instinctively plucked the hanging golden strands of hair with her delicate hands and tucked them behind her pointed ears. A somewhat embarrassed expression appeared on her soft and delicate cheeks.
After a moment of silence, she smiled at Anvis with a slightly unfamiliar smile.
As if he didn't notice the girl's unnatural expression, after giving her a smile, Anvis walked aside naturally and continued to inspect the decorative patterns on the dilapidated wall...
Seeing the young man with light blond hair turn around and leave, the girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But what she failed to see was the strange color flashing under Avis's pale silver monocle.
After about half a magic hour passed, the group arrived at the central square of the ruins.
A huge architectural complex with a rich artistic flavor stands behind the square. It is a gray-white building that looks like a palace or a temple.
Even though the long years have made the surface of the palace rock dilapidated, it still cannot conceal its former majesty.
Behind several magnificent stone columns, the ancient bronze door has been opened, and there are obvious signs that many people have entered at the door.
Due to the exhaustion of magic power, the huge and beautiful magic spring located in front of the building has long since dried up.
The two heavy light silver multi-layer fountains, one large and one small, were originally suspended in mid-air. At this time, they had fallen crookedly into the stone fountain pool, causing a huge crack in the bottom of the pool.
It is not difficult to imagine how magnificent this fountain was when it was originally full of magic.
After gathering many students in the square, the silver-haired female instructor stood in front of the dilapidated fountain, facing the many students gathered together, and spoke gently.
