The ruins in the mountains, the "Ring Magic Gate" hall on the bottom floor of the facility.

Since the discovery of this mysterious ancient magic gate, Gao Wen left six soldiers here for shift guarding. As the Byron Knights' exploration of this ancient facility became more and more profound, the ruins have been gradually used by Cecil. Now its middle-level area is gradually transformed into military factories and storage facilities. Magic nets have been laid in many places, magic crystal lamps and living facilities have been installed, and many long-term soldier dormitories have been added. Therefore, there are not a few soldiers on duty in the facilities for a long time.

Gao Wen brought Hetty and Pitman, plus a sirens with "evil god knowledge" (eating direction) skill points, and selected a group of elite soldiers, and then came to the place where the Magic Gate was located in a breeze.

A small group of garrison soldiers had already gathered in the wide rotunda. Knight Byron was leading his subordinates to pay close attention to the movement of the magic gate. When Gao Wen came in, the middle-aged knight was pulling a soldier to ask about things seriously. It was not easy to see such a serious expression on the face of the old fried dough stick. This made Gao Wen immediately realize that the situation might be more complicated than he expected.

He walked straight to Byron: "How is the situation?"

Byron gave a knight ceremony after seeing Gao Wen. He was leading the exploration team to find an exit to the south of the ruins in the mountains, but after hearing the news of the abnormal movement of the Magic Gate, he immediately brought people to the scene, which was much earlier than Gao Wen's arrival, so he was quite familiar with the situation: "Sir, we haven't figured out how the Magic Gate suddenly activated. The soldiers on duty here seemed to have been mentally impacted and had a very vague memory of the scene at that time."

Gao Wen looked up and looked at the direction of the ring-shaped magic gate. The thing was indeed activated.

The ring-shaped device made of some unknown synthetic material is now emitting a dark blue magic halo. The runes and magic lines engraved on the magic gate are now in a state of obvious charging. A low buzzing sound is coming from the base of the ring. In the center of the ring, a hazy phantom that is constantly shaking, as if it is in the superposition of two spaces.

The soldiers garrisoned here are all experienced and obedient elites. They will not activate anything without orders, nor will they deliberately conceal the situation when reporting the situation. So the only explanation is that this magic gate is really activated by itself, and when activated, it will cause a certain degree of mental impact on the people around them. It is not fatal, but it is enough to cause trance.

What activated the magic gate?

Gao Wen immediately thought of the automatic isolation doors in the entrance hall of the ruins. Similar events also occurred in the early days of the establishment of the Kaituo Ling. However, the reason why the isolation door was opened was because of the rise of magic power. The sudden change of magic environment stimulated the remaining magic mechanisms in the ruins. The door was opened by chance, but similar magic turmoil did not appear to have occurred in recent times, and there was no report from the surveillance satellite...

No, it seems that there is a special incident...

The stars return to their positions.

Gao Wen's expression has become serious. The only event that may lead to various visions in recent times is "Stars Return to the Place". Although ordinary people cannot detect the impact of the Return to the Place of the Stars on this world, its influence is real and seems to be related to God.

The purpose of this ancient facility was established seemed to be to study the "secrets of the gods".

Is this gate not actually closed due to damage or energy exhaustion, but is waiting for the opportunity to open?

"Ancestor?" Heti couldn't help asking, seeing that Gao Wen didn't speak for a long time, but instead, his expression became more and more serious. He couldn't help but ask, "What did you think of?"

"This door may have been automatically activated according to the preset commands of the magicians of the Spark Age," Gao Wen said slowly, and looked at the Knight Byron, "Has anyone ever been in?"

"Not yet," Knight Byron shook his head, "The situation is too strange. You told me at that time that if you encounter such a situation that is too bizarre or may be related to God, you must not act rashly, and keep the scene until you arrive."

"Very good," Gao Wen nodded in praise, and then looked at the magic door that was running automatically with a little regret. "It would be great if Amber was here..."

Amber was sent by him to search for "violent people" and has not returned yet. Although she is not clear about her progress, Gao Wen is full of confidence in the wild half-elves with full escape skills. However, it will inevitably be a little inconvenient if the other party is not there. For example, now, he really wants to find a recyclable amber detector and throw it to the opposite side of the Magic Gate to see the situation. However, it was not.

But the magic gate has been activated, so he can't just leave it alone.

"Pitman..." Gao Wen thought for a moment, then turned to look at the old druid beside him, "You..."

"Sir, I'm old!" Pittman immediately burst into tears, "I have eighty-years-old self to raise, and…"

Gao Wenqingqi jumped: "Shut up, I'll ask you to summon a tree man to come in!"

"oh."

Pitman took out a seed with magic from his arms, chanted a short spell in a low voice, and then threw the seed on the ground. With the surge of magic, the seed immediately began to grow at an astonishing speed. The magic power constructed its temporary body. An elemental tree man who was only over one meter tall appeared in front of everyone.

As everyone was watching, the unsightly tree man staggered towards the huge ring device in the center of the hall with ridiculous steps, and disappeared into the hazy phantom inside the ring device in a twist of light and shadow.

The moment the tree man disappeared, Pitman said "Huh" in surprise.

"What's going on?" Hetty asked nervously immediately.

"The spiritual connection between me and the summoning object was cut off," Pittman said with a weird expression, "a moment."

"The other side of the magic gate may be some kind of phase space, or the shadow world," Gowan was not surprised. "The magicians of the ancient Gondor Empire often did this. They would use similar space technology to store important secrets. Phase space and the shadow world are the most reliable safes."

"No...it's not like that level of cutoff," Pittman's expression was a little serious. "Even the Shadow World, the connection between the druid and the summoned object cannot be completely blocked. Even if the direct control is cut off, I can sense the existence of the summoned object, but now I have completely lost my perception of the tree man, as if it disappeared directly from this world..."

The atmosphere in the hall became serious, but Pittman said immediately: "But we can wait a little longer. I set orders for the tree man. If the spiritual connection is completely interrupted, it will return three minutes after losing my commands as long as it is not destroyed."

Gao Wen nodded when he heard this, turned around and stared in the direction of the magic gate.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was no movement in the magic gate, but just when Gao Wen thought the tree man would not come back, he suddenly saw the hazy light and shadow in the center of the magic gate trembled.

The unpretentious tree man ran out of the gate with the funny staggering pace.

It seemed clumsy and confused when it first ran out, but soon it established a spiritual connection with Pitman again, and the elemental creature maintained by magical power immediately ran back to its master.

"...No damage," Pittman quickly checked the situation of the tree man and looked up to report to Gao Wenhui. "The degree of magic dissipation is also within the normal value. It seems that there is a safe space opposite the gate, and the structure is also very stable."

"In other words, you can go in and check the situation," Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the technology of the ancient Gondor Empire is still trustworthy. Hetty, Tyre, you two go in and check the situation with me, Byron, Pittman, you two are guarding outside."

After giving the order, Gao Wen selected a group of capable soldiers, and then took his hands to the ancient magic gate that was quietly operating in the center of the hall.

While passing through the hazy light and shadow in the middle of the door, Gao Wen did not feel the expected drastic dizziness. This magic door, which had a thousand-year history, was more stable than he imagined during its operation. He only felt like he had walked through a slightly cool mist. After a brief blur of vision, the scene in front of him was already the space behind the door.

A wide rectangular hall is presented to the exploration team.

The hall is made of unknown synthetic materials. You can see various huge equipment with unknown functions wherever you can see the sight. There are wide trails and research platforms distributed between the equipment. What surprised Gao Wen the most was that it was not pitch black. Although this place has been closed for thousands of years, it actually has residual energy! Several lighting devices on the top of the hall are still operating, and a slightly yellow light illuminates the entire space!

Not only the lighting facilities, but a small part of the huge equipment in the hall is still activated. The magic runes on their surface are still shining, and a low buzzing sound will come from a certain equipment from time to time.

"This is really...incredible..." Hetty looked at the scene in front of him in shock, "What's still working here?!"

Gao Wen held the long sword in his hand tightly: Since the explosion of the deep blue magic well, all the complex magic devices of the ancient Gondor Empire have lost their function. Even if they are preserved and preserved to this day, they cannot be activated. The only simple devices that can still operate with simple structures like the Magic Gate and have low energy requirements. However, these equipment that seem very complex and sophisticated at first glance are still operating, which is really weird.

"Everyone is alert. The magic device here is still in operation. It is not ruled out that the ancient automatic defense device is in an active state," he shouted loudly to remind everyone in the team. "Hetty, pay attention to the flow of magic power around you at any time, and tell me immediately if there is a sharp change in energy reaction."

"Yes," Hetty tightened his long staff, responded and frowned and looked at the closed hall until now, "Ancestor... Is this hall still located in our main material world?"
