Chapter 83 The Seal of the Ruins
A lush mountain range lies across the border between the Kingdoms of Norman and Kildan.
The Zelda Mountains are just an ordinary mountain range in the entire human race, because they happen to be located on the border between the two countries, and become a natural dividing line for the two countries to have no borders.
It is precisely because of the natural demarcation of the Zelda Mountains that there is rare border friction between the two countries in history, and only a division of daily patrol forces was placed on one side of their respective border lines.
The Zelda Mountains are located in the mainland of the kingdom, with no abundant mineral resources, and there are no powerful monsters in the mountains. Except for local hunters who go into the mountains to hunt, there are usually few people.
On this day, several people who were in a hurry came from the depths of the Zelda Mountains. They set up tents under the Guleida Peak and could not stay there for several days.
Today is the only double full moon day in the month. Nasha and Tasha stars spread bright red and blue moonlight to the earth, making it extremely bright under the Gudalai Peak.
Joan and Arthur put away the camp early and anxiously waited for the moment when the ruins were opened.
After Joan advanced to a senior magician and returned from the Dwarf Kingdom, Arthur couldn't wait to urge Aretha to bring them to this mysterious ruin where she and Cairns once explored.
In addition to the two of them, Huey, Gorye, the elf Elanne and the ice fairy Gru also walked together. Alia and Toren could not enter because they did not reach the level of the battle school, while Spence needed to stay in the mercenary group. Moreover, Aretha said that the ruins were very strange, and the warriors with stronger combat power might not have a higher chance of survival than those with lower strength. Because there were no visible tangible enemies there, but were full of unknown traps and inexplicable dangers.
After entering the Zelda Mountains, Arthur and the others realized that the ancient ruins were not accessible at any time. Only on the night of the double full moon every month would the seal at the entrance fluctuate and be noticed. Arthur and the others temporarily camped under the peak. In the past few days, they searched the entire Gudalai Peak, but found no clues or abnormalities. If Aretha had not been sure that this was the entrance to the ruins, no one would have noticed that there was a huge secret hidden here.
From the arrival of night until the moon was in the middle of the sky, Aretha stood at the peak and motionless. Arthur and Joan, who stood side by side, were already anxious.
Seeing that the two moons had begun to turn east, Arthur finally couldn't help but ask, "Master's wife, when will we wait?"
Aretha replied anxiously, "I don't know either, I can't feel any fluctuations in the seal."
"Will you find the wrong place?"
"The place is definitely not wrong, but after all, it has been almost twenty years since we last came. No one knows what happened here? Maybe if that ruin still exists."
Aretha's answer made everyone who was full of expectations stunned.
Aretha sighed softly and comforted: "Wait a minute, if you really can't find the entrance, it's a good thing for you. Even if I can't guarantee that I can come out alive after entering again."
No one spoke after that, and time passed slowly in anxious waiting minute by minute. As dawn approached, there was still no response.
Aretha suddenly whispered in a low voice: "Try it for the last time!" She said, clenched her right fist, and the fighting spirit in her body gathered towards the fist. A bright blue light burst out from the fist, and then a punch was quickly shot out with a punch in the void.
If this punch landed on the mountain ahead, the rocks would have shattered. But just as the blue fist was about to fall on the mountain, an invisible light flashed away, and Aretha's full-strength blow dissipated.
A trace of doubt appeared on Aretha's face, "Since it's still there, why didn't there be any reaction before?"
Arthur and others behind Aretha naturally saw a strange change, "Master's wife, was that the seal of the ruins just now?"
Aretha nodded, "The seal is still there, but the entrance cannot be found."
"What should I do?"
"There is only the last way to try." Aresa said and summoned the condensed blue aphrodisiac. The blue aphrodisiac swung his sharp front paws into the void.
Under the fierce attack of the Blue Ape, light flashed from time to time, but that was all. Not to mention the entrance, even the seal itself did not appear.
"Master's wife, let's help attack the seal, too?" Arthur and the others were eager to try.
Behind the few people, a space magic gate opened quietly, and a crisp sound came out, "Stop!"
"Professor Shalin!" Arthur, Joan and others recognized the person at the same time.
"Arthur, I guess you're doing it!" Shalin's voice was a little angry.
Arthur didn't care about Shalin's anger. After all, he had done anything even more excessive to Shalin, but asked with a smile: "Professor Shalin, how could you happen to appear here?"
"Is it that I should ask you why you are here? Someone attacked the Seal Alliance and received a magic alert."
Arthur was not surprised but happy, "So the seal here was set up by the guardian of the stars and the moon?"
Shalin shook her head, "This is an ancient seal, we just added another seal to its periphery and re-blocked it."
"So you did it. I said why can't you feel the fluctuation of the seal?" Aretha had dissipated the Condensing Demon.
"I know you, Aretha?"
"Did we know each other before?" Aretha looked at Shalin with confusion.
"I don't know you, but I've seen you in the abandoned swamp."
"You were abandoning the swamp at the time?"
Shalin chuckled, "If it weren't for me, would you be so easy to get rid of the church's pursuit?"
"It seems that I owe you a thank you." Aretha smiled back.
Arthur couldn't help but interrupt the two women's chat and asked Shalin: "Why did the guardian of Xingyue seal this ruin?"
Shalin did not hide Arthur. "I was also a child when the Alliance strengthened the seal here. I heard that a traitor appeared in the Alliance, which leaked the secret of the seal, causing many people to break in. The Alliance believed that reappearing the ancient secrets was harmful to the intelligent races in the mainland, so it sealed the place again."
"So you don't know the specific situation in this ruin?"
"Of course I don't know." Shalin suddenly thought of a question, "How did you find this?"
"Because I've been in there before." Aretha took the initiative to take the sentence.
Shalin exclaimed, "You said you came out of it? The Alliance said no one ever came out of it alive!"
Aretha shrugged, the facts are here, without too much explanation.
"We want to go in now, you Star and Moon Guardians won't stop you?" Arthur asked from the side.
"Idiot, we strengthen the seal just to prevent people from breaking in. Do you think we will stop it?"
"Then if I force myself into it with my ability, can you still kill me?"
Shalin was speechless for a moment, and it was really troublesome to involve Arthur, because the elder had just told him to pay attention to his safety, otherwise Shalin would not have taken the initiative to help in the swamp.
Seeing Shalin hesitating, Arthur immediately changed to a begging tone, "The martial arts and the Star Falcon Sword I practice now all originated from this ruins. The things inside are very important to me. I have to go in. Just think it's too late, okay?"
