Good news came from the caster team, but Fiona and Phoenix looked at the snowy peaks on one side as if facing a formidable enemy.
There, at some point, a young man wearing a luxurious dark gold dress appeared. His pair of reptile-like cold dark gold vertical eyes were looking down at the people in the plain indifferently.
Marquis Draka, a ninth-level extreme existence, his appearance made the air seem to freeze a bit.
But when everyone was nervous, a black-robed figure who looked like an ordinary person, but also had a sense of elusiveness and illusion appeared in the sky above the crowd, facing the Marquis of Draka from a distance.
Seeing this figure appear, Fiona's peripheral vision vaguely swept over a seemingly ordinary sixth-level follower behind her.
After she reported it to the man in the mirror, the other party directly arranged for a clone to follow her, but it seemed that he did not take the initiative to reveal his identity. I don't know why.
The silent confrontation between the two strong men lasted for several seconds, as if there was an invisible confrontation in this moment. In the end, the figure of Marquis Draka dissipated in the air like a gust of wind, leaving no trace.
The black robed shadow in the sky also dissipated, but there was a faint aura of destiny surrounding the surroundings, as if to demonstrate the sovereignty of this place.
"Okay, let's start exploring."
At the same time, after receiving a message from Anvis, Fiona calmed down, waved gently, and led everyone into the ruins.
In the outside world, due to the huge anomaly that could not be concealed, news of the emergence of powerful ruins in the Pale Plain spread quickly. But the aura of destiny left by Anvis here clearly warned the coveters from the outside world that this is his territory.
.
Since they were preparing a secret plan, the marquises of the Glory Alliance did not want to continue provoking him for the time being, and simply acquiesced that the ruins belonged to Anvis.
Although the marquises of the Glory Alliance had some thoughts about this ruins, considering Anvis' strength and the secret plan being prepared, they chose to give in temporarily. After all, it is not a wise move to provoke him at this time.
Marquis Draka had left silently before, precisely for this reason.
As for the other scattered professionals below level nine, Anvis doesn't care. If they can gain something and leave safely, that's their luck.
For Anwes, discovering this base was a complete surprise, which also explains how the four major family alliances in the future were able to survive despite being surrounded by wolves.
This is a foundation accumulated over thousands of years. Even if the family is almost destroyed, the escaped members can still make a comeback with this priceless information.
After entering the base, everyone went straight to the core area on the bottom floor.
Although the internal defense circle is still operating, the self-operating protection system cannot withstand the passage of Fiona and her party without anyone in charge.
Soon, everyone arrived at the core of the base, in front of a huge door made of pale ice.
The door of the laboratory slowly opened, revealing the complex and mysterious structure inside. The walls were inlaid with countless luminous runes, which shone like stars and intertwined into complex and mysterious patterns.
In the center of the laboratory, a huge magic circle was emitting a faint light.
After Fiona, Phoenix and others entered the laboratory, their eyes were immediately attracted by a huge object in the center of the magic circle.
It was a huge humanoid statue covered with thick pale frost. The whole body was made of lead-gray metal. Even if it was lying on the ground, it was nearly ten meters tall. It was like a mountain giant in myths and legends. With the current situation of everyone,
The angle of view can only see its upper body,
A pale crystal core is embedded in its chest, emitting strange and unpredictable fluctuations.
Just when everyone was marveling at the majesty and mystery of this giant statue, a huge but weak spiritual power suddenly emerged from the direction of the giant statue. A rustling whisper echoed in everyone's hearts, like a call from distant time and space.
"You... have violated... the agreement... Veseram."
The whisper is not in any known language, but everyone can instinctively understand the meaning contained in the mental fluctuations. This is a communication that transcends language and is a direct dialogue between the spirit and the soul.
"Excuse me, what agreement did we violate?"
Unconsciously shrinking her neck, Fiona instinctively wanted to look behind her, but suddenly remembered that she was now the leader, so she plucked up the courage and asked in a polite tone.
"Life... soul... every cycle of cold and heat... I provide strength... you provide sacrifices."
"Well, if you are talking about the ancient magic empire Veselam, it perished more than two thousand years ago."
Connecting with the mental fluctuations of 'Veseram' and the background of this ruins, Fiona seemed to vaguely understand something.
"Veseram...destroyed?"
After hearing the girl's words, his mental fluctuations fell into silence for a while, as if he was digesting the result.
"Who are you? Where are you talking to us?"
At this time, Phoenix beside Fiona suddenly spoke.
"I...Itavos...the Lord of Pale Frost...the core of the Colossus...is the projection of my power...the bridge to communicate with this world."
The mental fluctuations reverberated again, unexpectedly straightforward, or in other words, it had no concept of concealment and no need to hide its identity in front of these short-lived species.
After several more rounds of dialogue, everyone also figured out its relationship with this base.
The power source of the Winter Colossus comes from the power of Itaphus stolen by the ancient magic empire.
It descended into the main material world in an accident, and then fought a war with the ancient magic empire that was in its heyday and unified the entire Yar continent at that time, and was eventually trapped here.
Because this world is shrouded in some astonishingly large twisted isolation force field, and there are strange rules missing, it cannot sense the coordinates of the starry sky, nor can it use its own innate abilities to leave. It can only choose to live with the short-lived people on this land.
They cooperate in breeding and provide part of their own strength in exchange for the sacrifices needed to maintain their own existence.
In order to reduce consumption, Itavos's body has already fallen into deep sleep.
With the demise of the Veseram Empire, this agreement was also lost in the long river of history.
Everything Itavus told made Anvis, who had been listening, think deeply and vaguely grasp some clues.
Although many seals had been sealed with the Old Secret Scriptures before, this was the first time he encountered an extraterrestrial existence that could communicate normally.
The other party clearly stated that it came from the deep space outside the territory, and from its perspective, the world was a strange area wrapped in a huge isolation force field. The outside of this super giant isolation force field was also hidden in the distortion of space, not in the extreme.
It is almost undetectable when viewed from close range.
It was as if the entire world was deliberately hidden.
"What accident caused you to arrive here?"
Ignoring the strange looks the people around him gave him as a 'Sixth Level', Anvis took the initiative to speak.
"Dark deep space...powerful existence...hunt...hide...survive."
In this regard, Itavos was concise and to the point.
In order to escape pursuit, he fell into this world by accident. Although he was trapped for thousands of years, he successfully evaded the pursuers from the outside world.
But, is it really avoided?
His eyes looked a little strange, and Anvis fell silent again.
As a former ultra-nine-level existence, sooner or later it will discover the crisis facing the world.
At the same time, he noticed a detail. The fate of Fenice Enoch, who was following Fiona, quietly changed at this moment.
After receiving strong external support, something called ambition once again grew in Phoenix's heart. ()
