Chapter 489: Ancient Magic Ruins
“You said that the deity’s armor is near me.”
On a modified Dragon God armor, Lei Luo looked helplessly at Kronin. A few days ago, when Lei Luo was training with the second legion, Kronin suddenly came to him and said something inexplicable. He asked him to follow the cross on his body so that he could find the next deity’s armor.
When Lei Luo opened his storage space, the cross jumped into his hand. Lei Luo knew that the “God’s Time” was a very important tool, but Lei Luo had not yet discovered its specific use. The main thing was how to use it. No magic could be used, and this thing did not react. It was not even damaged, so Lei Luo gave up.
He was about to start a battle that concerned himself. This sudden occurrence caught Lei Luo off guard. However, Lei Luo still listened to Kronin’s words. After all, this was the only thing his teacher had left for him. He should have filled this thing up.
As the warship floated in this area, Lei Luo also became immersed. The fleet’s matters were all handed over to the people he was entrusted to take care of, for as long as they arrived before the battle.
The “God’s Time” in his hand flickered continuously, and Lei Luo also adjusted the battleship’s guidance device continuously. It was not until they were close to a barren area that the “God’s Time” in Lei Luo’s hand stopped at a constant frequency; however, there was a void in front of them, and nothing could be seen.
Patting the cross in his hand, Lei Luo was about to cry. This thing had no reaction at all. He had wasted so much of his time, and this was the result?
In a place that Lei Luo had not noticed, the front end of his battleship seemed to be missing a little bit. Lei Luo was still pondering about the cross in his hand, but with a loud bang, Lei Luo landed on a piece of land.
At this time, Lei Luo finally saw the situation outside the window. Although he had been shaken to the ground by the battleship’s movements, it was still not a big deal.
In front of him was a magic array that he had never seen before engraved on the gray-white wall. Lei Luo knew that he had arrived at the place, so he took the cross and jumped off the battleship. Although he did not know what this place was, it did not affect his sizing up the place.
At the end of the tunnel was darkness. The magic array beside it ensured that Lei Luo could see the road under his feet clearly. After closing the warship, Lei Luo followed the tunnel in front of him all the way down. Although he was a little afraid, he was feeling excited.
The deeper he went, the brighter the God’s Time in his hand glowed. The surrounding scenery was also becoming more and more dilapidated, as if it was isolated from the outside world. There were some magic materials that Lei Luo did not recognize on the ground, and there were also some skeletons in strange clothes. Scattered on the ground, their magic staffs were particularly thick, which reminded Lei Luo of the ancient mages he had read about in ancient books.
Before the empire was founded, some historians had speculated that there was another era, but now there were only bits and pieces of information that recorded the glory of that era. Mages in that era did not rely on any magic conducting tools, they firmly believed that only their own strength was the way for mages to become stronger. Therefore, their level of magic usage was much higher than it was now.
Most importantly, according to the classification of the ancient mages, the people with the highest magic attainments could only use Level-8 magic, and their highest magic level could reach beyond that. This was also the reason why the current School of Magic had fallen apart. The school of magic followed the magic data found in the ruins and believed that the origin of mages should be their own and could not rely on external things.
On the other hand, the other schools of mages believed that in order to find the origin, external things were essential. This also led to the decline of the school, and the School of Magic had become more and more powerful as the empire continued to battle. It could be said that there were no longer any orthodox mages.
The rise of the School of Magic was also related to the sorcerers. Too many natives had died during the empire’s war, and the sorcerers were favored by Emperor Victor because they were war weapons that did not need to consume people. In addition, with the appearance of the magic cannonballs and warships, the casting speed was also slow, and the traditional mages with little deterrence had no way to survive. The weakness of the school of magic, which lacked a huge reserve of magic power, was also made up by a large amount of magic crystals mined.
This also exacerbated the decline of the Mage School. Everyone was now a mage, but basically, high-level mages were scarce, so it was not uncommon.
Lei Luo’s own magic level was only at Level 5. When he was in the orphanage, he had studied ancient magic for a long time. Unfortunately, the highest level of ancient magic that had been passed down now was only a Level-2 [ clarity spell ]. It was a dispensable existence for people nowadays.
As they continued to explore, there were more and more corpses around them. The way they died was strange, but there were also more and more strange things happening. These corpses knelt on the ground towards the end of the tunnel, as if they were worshipping their god.
Lei Luo looked at the bodies of these corpses that were as devout as a pilgrimage and could not help but feel nervous. What exactly caused the ancient magic empire to weaken? No one knew. Some people guessed that the ancient magicians had opened the Pandora’s Box to study the forbidden magic, but more people thought that it was God’s punishment. They thought that the ancient magicians wanted to use the human body to reach the level of God and anger him.
Therefore, God sent down his anger and destroyed this blasphemous empire.
The further they went, the more corpses there were, but they still left a path for those who came later. With respect for these magicians, Lei Luo approached the deepest part of the empire step by step.
The darkness continued to approach Lei Luo. Only the God’s Time his hand was illuminating the path for Lei Luo. Unknowingly, the path came to an end. A huge palace appeared before Lei Luo’s eyes.
In the middle of the palace were four pillars that were wrapped with mysterious runes. In the middle of the four pillars was a huge mech. The details were unclear, but Lei Luo knew that this was twice as big as the biggest warship he had ever seen. It was even bigger than the empire’s largest battleship, the Titan.
The four pillars surrounding this mecha did not seem to be surrounding this mecha. Rather, it was better to say that they were locked onto this mecha. A faint blue light came from the top of the pillars and wrapped tightly around the body of the mecha.
Lei Luo slowly walked forward. Suddenly, he saw that there seemed to be a person kneeling in front of the mecha. This made Lei Luo suddenly alert. He pulled out the magic knife in his hand and carefully stepped on it. He cast a silent and light body spell on himself, and he crept closer to the person in front of him.
“You’re finally here, my most loyal disciple.”
The person in front suddenly stood up and said something that confused Lei Luo.
