The front-line base was attacked, with heavy casualties, and people were in panic for a while.

Almost all the defenders of the old order died. Everyone was thinking about their lives and didn't care about anything else. So although the little girl came for a while, she completely let go of the information and documents. She took out all the secrets and the extremely secrets, and read them casually.

She found a document while searching, which revealed a secret... It seems that through years of special research, the government departments of the United States finally found a credible magical civilization ruins. It is on this frozen soil.

Therefore, on the one hand, this will be released by excavating the sites and on the other hand, the four-dimensional scientific expedition teams that investigate the ecology of the permafrost. Ecological research is just a disguise, and the real goal is ancient sites.

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

With the huge size of the Red Empire back then, it is not surprising that there is anything unusual in this land. Although they may not be sure... but it is precisely because of the uncertainty that they need to understand.

The Red Empire built a military camp here to keep this secret.

Of course, they finally proved that they were futile. After the empire collapsed, everything was suspended. The secret here is forever unknown to countries like Damao Ermao Sanmao who inherited the Red Empire, and at least it will not become a national-level engineering project again.

But the United States has now discovered this 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 shows an overall supportive attitude towards this kind of scientific research activities. After all, topics such as permafrost ecology are also of great reference value to Damao.

However, digging ancient ruins and continuing to excavate the cause of inheriting the Red Empire will definitely not allow it. So the archaeological excavation team was dressed in a layer of disguise for scientific investigation.

But to be honest, from the perspective of the little girl, this layer of disguise is really not very good. It is the kind of thing that can be easily seen through if you are a little serious.

Da Mao Guo saw through this disguise... so he sent professional agents? It seems normal to say that.

Or maybe, the secret of magic that Da Mao Kingdom actually secretly grasped? She became more and more curious.

The little girl knew that she did not have the talent for Taoism, otherwise Zhang Cheng would have taught her this mysterious skill. But she might have the opportunity to learn magic from other schools?

Yiji walked in front, and the terrain in the abandoned mine was complicated, so it was his first time to enter. Although he had also sent people to deliver goods to the entrance here, he did not have the chance to enter. This was his first time going deeper. But it can only be said that it was easier to walk than expected, because this mine was not as complicated as ordinary mines, and a simple road leads to the end.

This is not a normal state of mining veins... Although I know nothing about mineral resource development, Yiji still feels very strange.

There is a broken monument on the side of the road, which carved some incomprehensible symbols. The little girl just glanced at it casually and did not leave any trace. She had seen the map of the mine before and recorded it.

There was finally the first fork in front of him. When Yiji was hesitating, the little girl immediately instructed him to move towards the right.

This is a narrow passage, with various semi-finished products everywhere along the way, including some broken stone sculptures, some removed reliefs, etc. In short, you can see that this place cannot be a mine pit.

Walking and looking, Yiji was a little confused. In the end, they were in a corridor of an ancient building. The exquisite statues and Mihuan Milun's murals could be vaguely seen around them.

It can only be said that the style of painting changed instantly. The environment here is different from the various equipment of the previous abandoned mines, such as track mine cars, transportation elevators controlled by heavy consoles, various wooden tables, hand scaffolds, mine tunnels, etc., so the style of paintings of the two is so different that it makes people feel an illusion that it seems to have entered another world.

"Is the castle of ancient magicians..." Yiji looked at the surrounding environment and murmured softly.

He had been half-believing before, but now he can't help but believe it.

"To be specific, it is the underground of the castle ruins." The little girl looked around and said. "It should be that the mine pit accidentally connected the castle ruins... After passing the ruins and hall in front, there was a very huge fault. The castle was probably trapped in it because of an earthquake. They speculated about the time, but could not find the record of the major earthquake during that period. It was speculated that it was a small earthquake, and it might even be related to the owner of the castle."

They soon arrived at the deepest part of this passage, and in front of them was the location called the "Relics Hall". This is also the central location for many experts' research, including Professor Armstrong. This place was obviously an ancient temple, but now it is worthy of its name and can only be called a ruin. The first thing that attracted the attention of outsiders was the painting reliefs on the ground beneath their feet.

Mongolian style? Gothic style? Or is it a hodgepodge?

In addition to the ground, there are also a large number of stone tablets, reliefs and other things. A large number of ancient characters are rubbing from here.

"It's really unimaginable how ancient people built such spectacles under such dangerous environments with such underdeveloped productivity conditions?" Even Yiji, who thought he was well-informed, was surprised.

This frozen soil has always been such a harsh environment in the "million-year-old" time unit.

Although the remains itself fell into the ground due to an earthquake, it was still an amazing project even on the ground.

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

Since seeing the many incredible powers, she felt that she would no longer be amazed by this mere castle.

The two began to see what was around them.

The little girl had only seen the rubbings before, but now she has added reliefs and she has begun to learn more.

"So...is that's the case?"

"What does it look like?" Yiji asked curiously.

"There is something called the 'Source of Magic' here." The little girl replied. "It is praised as the source of all magic. The ancient magicians carried it from the rich land - I guess it was either the Nile Delta or the Mesopotamian plains - and finally here. This castle was built... A strongest magician received the most gifts, and he was able to live without death..."

"How can one be immortal?"

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

"Can you understand? Those experts took so long and said that they have achieved great results, but they have just slightly cracked a few limited texts..."

"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 perspective, this is a relatively complete relief picture. The believers settled in the beautiful and rich plains, and under the guidance of the leader, they built a great city... and the leader was a glorious "man". The glorious "man"? It should be an artistic technique used to express that this person is a god, the Holy Spirit, etc.

He saw a picture that seemed to represent war. Foreign enemies invaded from all directions, but were easily defeated. Even with a basic cultural cultivation, he could easily see that this seemed to exaggerate the great power of magicians. The power of magicians is absolutely unmatched by ordinary people. A few magicians can sweep thousands of enemies. They threw out flames, darkness, mold and wind and rain, and easily defeated the enemy.

"The arrogance brought by power..." the little girl said softly. "The magicians thought that their power would remain unchanged for generations. But in fact, magic will degenerate and consume. Their arrogance has turned them and their neighbors into mortal enemies. When the power of magic subsides, they cannot protect and maintain their city. So they chose to evacuate... to a place where people are scarce. Finally, a castle was built and the last hometown of the magicians."

"...But these records basically have no meaning to us. Anyway, they have disappeared. What we need to know is how to master magic..." said the little girl. "It seems that it must have been processed here, and things related to history have been left behind, while things related to magic have been erased."

"Did the Red Empire do it?"

"I'm afraid it can't be called the Red Empire." The little girl slowly checked one by one with the help of the light. "Because there is no such type in the heritage of the Red Empire. You know, now the governments in this world are very interested in magic, but unfortunately the only one at present is the United States."

"Are you talking about that great Indian wizard?"

"Yes, he proved with facts that magic definitely exists. But governments of various countries know nothing about it... Either the magic world is so weak that there is no successor, or it means that they are hiding deeply. Which one do you think it is?"

"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. The voice shocked both of them, because it was neither the little girl nor Yiji's speech, but a strange voice.

"Because of the research of the Red Empire, the magic of decay has been resurrected." With this voice, they saw a man walking in from behind and entering the light range. The man is medium-sized and chubby, and from his appearance it should be a South Beauty. His facial features are very ordinary, and there is almost no characteristic on his face except fat.

He was wearing a long windbreaker. This kind of clothes could appear on the streets of big cities, but should not appear here. In this low-temperature ghost place, even thick down clothing or fur with the best cold resistance makes the wearer tremble. This windbreaker seems to be funny. People wearing this kind of clothes want to commit suicide.

But the problem is that he is indeed wearing this dress, so this matter seems particularly weird.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen," said the stranger who suddenly came. "I'm glad to see you... I was just here to see you casually, but I didn't expect that there was really someone here. It was a really unexpected encounter, right?"

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

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

"I'll introduce myself. My name is Mike, and I'm a dark wizard. Well, by ancient standards, I'm a dark wizard. Of course, I can't say much about modern standards. After all, in this era, there are almost no standards in this regard."

"My name is Mary." said the little girl. "I'm very happy to see you, Mr. Mike. Can you answer my doubt?"

"Willing to serve you, young lady."

"I want to know, what happened to the immortal mage Demon Forest... in the end?"

"I'm afraid it's hard for me to answer this question. I can only say my guess, I guess he's dead." Mike said. "I'm not old enough to be dead is actually just using magic to delay his aging. Someone must pay the price for it."

"You mean, the Demon Forest is sucking other people's lives to delay their aging?"

"I can't say this. In short, as far as I know, there is no one in this castle." Mike replied. "This is someone told me, but I can't be 100% sure of this. After all, he might have lie to me deliberately, or he made a mistake. I can't prove it, because of the changes in the earth, most of the castle structures have been buried deep into the underground fault."

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

"Yes, they want to dig a deep cave and then dig a horizontal hole into the castle." Mike replied. "Of course this is one of the reasons. Understanding the mystery of the earth's crust is also an important factor. But in the end it failed... In fact, it cannot be said that the Red Empire collapsed before completing the goal."

"Why did you tell us this?" The other party was very friendly, but Yiji felt even more alert.

"Of course it's because he wants to kill us." The little girl replied. "He believes we will die soon, so he doesn't care about revealing too much."

"You are so smart!" Mike laughed.

"So... what I'm talking about is really useful, including the mystery of magic and some precious information... In fact, it has been swept up long ago, right?"

"You guessed it." Mike continued to laugh. "Someone tried his best to get all the key information 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 unclear whether there will be smart people who can infer something from these remaining things... OK, are you ready to die now?"
