You have three magic hours to explore freely. When the light ball in mid-air turns golden, come back and gather here.
Any items obtained during exploration belong to you. But remember to bring them with you, as we will use them in subsequent lessons.
Finally, be careful of the hidden magic traps and dangerous underground creatures, I don’t want to see any attrition among you!”
Nancy waved her hand, and the magic power gathered into a gentle whirlwind under her will, sweeping away the floating ashes beside the fountain pool.
Afterwards, she sat by the clean pool, took out a magic book with a gray and white cover, and started reading by herself.
After receiving the order to explore freely, everyone dispersed and headed to various ruins in the city.
Among them, a small half of the stronger second- and third-level Pamir students chose to go to the majestic building behind the fountain.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this building is probably the city's city lord's palace.
There, the chances of getting valuable gains are highest.
Indeed, the ruins explorers of the academy may have thoroughly explored this place before, and all important items have been looted.
But the valuable harvest is not necessarily some kind of treasure. The decorative style, structural features, inscriptions and murals, cracked mechanisms and ancient magic circles are also extremely valuable knowledge for them.
After all, their main purpose is to learn, not to hunt for treasure.
………
Walking leisurely in a dilapidated high elf garden, Anvis observed the elven buildings around him seemingly casually.
But under the white glove on his left hand, a gem-set ring shone with a faint aura, connected to an invisible mystical eye in mid-air.
The surrounding environment is strangely vibrant. Although the original vegetation has long since turned into dust, strange fluorescent spore plants unique to the underground world have replaced them and are growing lushly here.
Pretending to explore the surrounding building structures, Anvis controlled the arcane eye to fly slowly, secretly paying attention to the girl's real-time location.
He was not worried that his behavior would be discovered. Many students had cast similar spells to explore the surrounding environment.
When the free exploration began, Avis's attention was focused on Claire.
As he expected, the girl did not enter the city lord's mansion to explore with many high-level students. Instead, she chose to go to the ordinary residential area of the city.
Compared with the two sides of Central Avenue, the buildings there are obviously more damaged and dilapidated.
Although she was the only one exploring in that direction, due to the large area of the ruins, the girl's behavior at this time was not out of the ordinary.
"I always feel that this kind of trailing scene is a bit familiar. It seems that I have experienced it in some kind of game in my previous life..."
While observing secretly, Anvis thought a little strangely.
He didn't plan to try his luck on his own, so keeping an eye on Claire's every move in the ruins was the best way to explore.
As a celebrity as much as Albins in her previous life, she carries a strange aura around her.
She often encounters strange incidents related to ancient ruins, but in the end she is always lucky enough to get great benefits and escape without any danger.
But it should be noted that since she is very lucky, you need to think twice before becoming her companion.
There is a saying among imperial folk: 'When a tiger is chasing you, you don't need to outrun the tiger, you just need to outrun your companions.'
Claire is the companion you can never outrun.
"Forget it, simply controlling the secret magic and following it shouldn't be counted as tailing. How can the matter of the caster be... hmm?"
In the visual image returned by the magic eye, the girl observed the surrounding buildings and entered a seemingly ordinary two-story building on the side of the residential area.
The pearly white stone walls with curved decorative lines are weathered and eroded, and the light blue elf tile sloping roof is badly damaged.
The wooden shutters have long since turned into dust over the long years, leaving only the empty relief window frames...
Everything seems no different from the rest of the buildings on either side.
Did you make any discoveries?
Anvis walked out of the courtyard and walked quietly towards the small building chosen by the girl.
He didn't walk quickly. After all, following her secretly was not a glorious thing.
Besides, it's not certain that she must have found something. It's possible that she just went in casually to take a look.
"Boom——"
There was a huge sound, and a piece of the roof of the small building covered with elf tiles collapsed, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Very good, now she can be sure that she probably discovered something.
And there was a reason for the 'accidental encounter': I noticed the collapse of the roof and came to check it out——
Anvis smiled slightly and accelerated towards the small building.
There were also one or two students in the distance who were attracted by the movement of the collapse, but seeing that Anvis had already moved forward, they did not continue to pay attention.
Except for one girl who was always secretly paying attention to his movements, Pekkala.
From the first meeting, she noticed how extraordinary Avis was.
The welcome ceremony for new students received perfect reviews. The etiquette was perfect and elegant, and the attitude was always calm and natural.
All this means that he is probably from those real ancient families!
At the dinner party that followed, after everyone's subtle testing, she confirmed this even more.
Pekkala comes from the Baiwana Province in the southern part of the empire. She is a mixture of Imperial and Federation people. She has long wavy golden hair and beautiful light violet eyes.
Her father is a truly big businessman. As one of the giants of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the largest chamber of commerce in the empire, his annual profits can reach tens of millions of gold coins.
But in this world, many things cannot be purchased with gold coins.
Although their family background is even wealthier than that of many small and medium-sized nobles, the social status of the merchant class is still low and they are not favored by the nobles of the upper class. They are mostly regarded as vulgar nouveau riche.
Besides, her father had dozens of daughters, and she was just one of them.
Because of her extraordinary talent and her mother's high status in her father's heart, she won this precious opportunity to enter the Pamir.
But her talent is actually not outstanding in Pamir Academy.
For this spot in the Pamir Academy of Mystery and Relics, her father spent millions of gold coins! This is based on the premise that the mysterious school is very unpopular!
And all this is just for her to get a ticket to the upper class.
Pekkala knew that with her current talents and the resources at her disposal, graduation might not be a problem, but she was destined to not achieve much.
Unless she can get in touch with a real genius or a descendant of a great noble.
All of the above was whispered to her by her mother before boarding the floating ship!
At this time, although she was not strong enough to detect the magic eyes in the sky, she noticed Anvis's sudden move towards the collapsed house.
The girl's instinct told her: catch up, immediately!
Originally, she was still hesitating about how to contact Anvis without appearing too deliberate.
Now, she felt like she had the perfect reason.
I noticed the roof collapse and came to check——
Thinking happily in her heart, Pekkala quickly changed direction and quickly chased in the direction of Anvis.
"ah!"
The next moment, the girl who didn't pay attention to her feet stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
