Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 447: Scientific Examination 5
The frontline base was attacked, causing heavy casualties, and people panicked for a while.

All the defenders of the old order are almost dead. Everyone thinks about their own lives, and they don't care about others.So although the little girl came here not long ago, she was completely open when searching for information files.Whatever is confidential, what is extremely secret, take it all out and look at it at will.

She found a document in the search, which revealed a secret... It seems that the government department of the United States has finally found a credible magical civilization site through years of specialized research.Right here on the frozen ground.

That's why this four-dislike scientific expedition team, which excavates the ruins on the one hand and investigates the ecology of the permafrost on the other hand, will be released.Ecological research is just a disguise, and the real target is ancient ruins.

Now it seems that there really is an ancient magician's castle.

Given the huge size of the Red Empire back then, it is not surprising to find that there is something unusual about this land. Although they may not be sure...but it is precisely because they are not sure that they need to figure it out.

Here, it is to keep this secret.

Of course it proved futile in the end.After that, everything stops.The secrets here will never be known to countries like Damao Ermao Sanmao who inherited the Red Empire, at least it will no longer become a national engineering project.

But the United States has now discovered the secret and does not want to miss this opportunity.So this scientific expedition team was established.

Although the relationship between the United States and Damao is not so harmonious internationally, everyone still supports this kind of scientific research activity as a whole.After all, topics such as permafrost ecology are also of great reference value to Da Mao.

However, excavating ancient ruins and continuing to excavate the cause of the Red Empire will definitely not be allowed.So the archaeological excavation team put on a disguise of scientific investigation.

But to be honest, from the point of view of a little girl, this layer of camouflage is really not very good.It belongs to the kind of thing that can be easily seen through with a little seriousness.

Damaoguo sees through this layer of camouflage...so they send out professional agents?This seems to be a very normal thing to say.

Or, in fact, Da Maoguo secretly mastered the secrets of magic?She is getting more and more curious.

The little girl knew that she had no talent for Taoism, otherwise Zhang Chengcheng would have taught her this mysterious skill.But maybe she has the chance to learn other schools of magic?

Yiji walked ahead, the terrain in the abandoned mine was complicated, and it was his first time entering.Although he also delivered people to the entrance here before, he didn't have a chance to enter.This is his first time going deep.But it can only be said that it is easier than expected, because this mine is not as complicated as ordinary mines, and a simple road leads directly to the end.

This is not a normal state of mining veins... Although I don't know anything about the development of mineral resources, Yiji still feels very weird.

There is a monument on the side of the road.Some incomprehensible symbols are engraved on it.The little girl just glanced at it casually and passed by without stopping at all.She had seen the map of the mine before, and wrote it down.

Finally, there is the first fork in the road ahead.When Yiji was hesitating, the little girl immediately instructed him to move to the right.

This is a narrow and long passage, and various semi-finished products can be seen everywhere along the way.Including some broken stone sculptures, some removed reliefs and so on.In short, you can tell by looking at this place that it cannot be a mine.

Looking while walking, Yiji was a little confused.Eventually, they found a hallway in an old building.The exquisite statues and murals of Meihuan Meilun can be vaguely seen around.

It can only be said that the painting style has changed in an instant.The environment here is different from the various equipment in the previous abandoned mine pit, such as rail mine cars, transport elevators controlled by heavy consoles, various wooden platforms, scaffolding, and mine tunnels... etc., the style of the two is very different, So much so that people have an illusion, as if they have entered another world.

"An ancient magician's castle..." Yiji looked at the surrounding environment and murmured softly.

He was still skeptical before, but now he can't help but not believe it.

"Specifically, it's the underground of the castle ruins." The little girl looked around and said. "It should be that the mine was accidentally connected to the ruins of the castle... After passing the ruins hall in front, there is a very huge fault. The castle probably fell into it because of an earthquake. They speculated on the time, but they couldn't find the time of the big earthquake. It is speculated that it was a small earthquake, and it may even be related to the owner of the castle."

They soon came to the deepest part of this passage, and in front of them was the location known as the "Hall of Remains".It is also the center of research by many experts, including Professor Armstrong.This place was obviously once an ancient palace, but now it is worthy of the name and can only be called a relic.The first thing that attracts the eyes of outsiders are the painted reliefs on the ground under their feet.

Mongolian style?Gothic?Or is it a hodgepodge?

In addition to the ground, there are a large number of steles, reliefs and other things.A large number of ancient texts were rubbed from here.

"It's really hard to imagine, how did the ancient people build such a spectacle in such a dangerous environment with such underdeveloped productivity conditions?" Even Yiji, who thought he was well-informed, was surprised.

This piece of permafrost, at least in the "millennium" time unit, has always been such a harsh environment.

Although the ruins themselves were sunk into the ground due to an earthquake, even on the ground, this is still an astonishing project.

"Because... because this was not built purely by manpower." The little girl replied calmly.

After seeing so many incredible powers, she felt that she would no longer be surprised by this mere castle.

The two began to look around at the things around them.

The little girl had only seen the rubbings before, but now that the reliefs have been added, she began to understand more.

"So...is that so?"

"What's it like?" Kikyo asked curiously.

"Here there is something called 'The Source of Magic'." The little girl replied. "It is celebrated as the source of all magic. The ancient magicians carried it away from the rich lands - I guess it was either the Nile Delta or the plains of Mesopotamia - and ended up here. Built this castles... there is a most powerful magician who got the most gifts, he was able to live forever..."

"How can there be immortality?"

"That's what it says here." The little girl replied.

"Do you understand? Those experts have spent so long, and it is said that they have achieved great results, but they just deciphered a few limited words..."

"Those experts are those experts, I am me." The little girl disagreed.Because I can open a plug-in. "Look at that!"

From Yiji's point of view, this is a relatively complete relief picture.The believers settled in the beautiful and fertile plains, and under the guidance of the leader, they built a great city...and they were led by a "man" who radiated brilliance.A shining "person"?It should be an artistic technique used to show that this person is a god or a holy spirit, right?
He saw a picture that seemed to indicate war. There were foreign enemies invading from all directions, but they were easily defeated.Even a basic cultural accomplishment can easily see that this seems to exaggerate the great power of magicians?The power of a magician is beyond the reach of ordinary people.A few magicians can sweep thousands of enemy troops.They threw fire, darkness, mildew, and wind and rain, and defeated their enemies with ease.

"The arrogance brought about by strength..." the little girl said softly. "Those magicians think their power will last forever. But in fact, magic is degraded and consumed. Their arrogance makes them and their neighbors sworn enemies. When the power of magic fades, they cannot protect and maintain They lost their own city. So they chose to evacuate... to a place that was inaccessible. Finally, a castle was built, which became the last home of the magicians."

"... But these records are basically meaningless to us. Anyway, they have died. What we need to know is how to master magic..." the little girl said. "It seems that this place must have been treated to a certain extent. The things related to history have been left behind, while the things really related to magic have been erased."

"What did the Red Empire do?"

"I'm afraid it can't be called the work of the Red Empire." The little girl slowly checked one by one with the help of the light. "Because there is no such kind in the legacy of the Red Empire. As you know, the governments of all countries in this world are very interested in magic. Unfortunately, the only one at present is the United States."

"You mean the great Indian wizard?"

"Yeah, he used facts to prove that magic definitely exists. But the governments of various countries don't know anything about it... Either the magic world is weak to the point that there are no successors, or it means that they are hiding deep. You say yes What kind?"

"Well, no matter how you think about it, it should be the latter. After all, there are many legends about magic."

"That's right!" A voice sounded.This voice shocked both of them, because it was neither a little girl nor Yiji speaking, but an unfamiliar voice.

"Because of the research of the Red Empire, the decaying magic has been revived." With this voice, they saw a man walk in from behind and enter the range of the lights.This man is of medium height, chubby, and should be a South American in appearance.His facial features are very ordinary, and there are almost no features on that face except fat.

He is wearing a long trench coat.This kind of clothing can appear on the streets of those big cities, but it should not appear here.In this ghostly place with low temperatures, even the thick down jacket or fur with the best protection against the cold can make the wearer shiver.This trench coat is almost like a joke.People who wear this kind of clothes are almost suicidal.

But the problem is that he is actually wearing this dress, so this thing seems extraordinarily weird.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen," said the sudden stranger. "It's nice to see you... I just came here at random, but I didn't expect someone to be here. It's really an unexpected encounter, isn't it?"

Yiji had already taken the gun away from his hand, and pointed the gun at the stranger from outside.But for a moment he didn't dare to shoot.

"Who are you?" the little girl asked in a deep voice.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Mike, and I am a dark wizard. Well, according to ancient standards, I am a dark wizard. Of course, I can't say by modern standards. After all, in this era, there are almost no standards in this regard. Word."

"My name is Mary." said the little girl. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Mike. Can you answer a question for me?"

"At your service, young lady."

"I want to know, what happened to that immortal archmage Mo Lin...?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult for me to answer this question. I can only say my guess. I guess he is dead." Mike said. "Immortality is actually just using magic to delay one's own aging. Someone must pay the price for it."

"You mean, Mo Lin is absorbing the lives of others to delay his own aging?"

"I can't say that. Anyway, as far as I know, there is no one in this castle anymore." Mike replied. "Someone told me this, but I'm not 100% sure about it. After all, he may have deliberately lied to me, or he may have made a mistake. I can't prove it, because most of the structure of the castle has been destroyed due to changes in the earth. buried deep in an underground fault."

"The Red Empire... is that the reason for digging that mine?"

"Yeah, they want to dig a deep cave, and then make a horizontal hole to enter the castle." Mike replied. "Of course this is one of the reasons. Understanding the mysteries of the earth's crust is also a very important factor. But in the end it failed... Actually it can't be called a failure, it should be said that it was before the completion of the goal."

"Why did you tell us this?" The other party was very friendly, but Yiji had a stronger warning sign in his heart.

"Of course it's because he wants to kill us." The little girl replied. "He believed we were going to die soon, so he didn't care to reveal too much."

"You're so smart!" Mike laughed.

"So... the things here, I'm talking about the really useful things, including the mysteries of magic, and some precious materials... In fact, they have been swept away long ago, right?"

"You guessed it." Mike continued to laugh. "Someone tried their best to take away all the key materials and texts. The problem is that there are too many things in this place, and it is difficult to completely destroy them. So it is not clear whether any smart people can deduce something from these remaining things. What... well, are you ready to die now?"
