The ancient treasure house is hidden among the mountains, and the unknown ruins are covered with vines, and the walls made of huge rocks and metal are covered with scars. Each trace is a character left by time, and what humans can read from these characters is the word "virtue".

The history of this ancient ruin can be traced back to the distant period of the Gondor Empire. Its heavy and majestic style is extremely strange to the Ansu people today. In Gao Wen's memory, when the northern pioneer army found it, it was already a ruin - and at that time it did not look much younger than it looks today.

Gao Wen, Rebecca, Amber and Knight Byron walked into the mountain from the largest arch. The swaying light of the torches made the corridors on both sides unstable, as if they were the legendary "soul corridor" leading to the Kingdom of the Dead. Amber complained dissatisfiedly: "If I had known, I would have asked your Aunt Hetty to come over. What's the use of bringing you--I can't even have a flash technique, but it's a wizard?"

Rebecca's face turned red: "Fireball...Fireball can also be illuminated..."

Unfortunately, his tone was weak and unconvincing.

Knight Byron walked not far behind Gaowen's side. He looked at the ancient stone walls and dents that could no longer be seen on the walls, and could not help but remember the feeling when he was a mercenary many years ago: "How many years have this ruin been?"

"I don't know," Gao Wen shook his head, "the first time we discovered it, it was already in ruins. At that time, the more knowledgeable people in the team said that this was the legacy of the 'Spark Age' - that was the time when magic technology was developed in the middle and late period of the Gondor Empire. At that time, the great magic well "Deep Blue Well" was successfully launched. The empire had a wave of expansion, and began to build a large number of fortresses and research facilities on various borders, in order to find super-large magic focal points like "Deep Blue" elsewhere in the mainland, but later those facilities were abandoned one by one."

Rebecca felt incredible: "Hasn't there been a single magic focus found?"

"No, you can't find a magic focus like Deep Blue," Gao Wen recalled the history in his mind. "The power of Deep Blue Well is unimaginable. It is a super-large magic source located in the center of the continent. The energy it outputs every day can even supply the current Ansu Realm Mage Tower running for a month - so some scholars later believe that the explosion of Deep Blue Well in 1739 in Gondor was actually the cause of the demon tide. Although the explosion did not blow up the entire empire on the spot, it tore a big hole in the elemental plane. The imbalance of the elemental power accumulated until the second year, which triggered the demon tide. However, this conjecture cannot be confirmed that the entire Deep Blue Well and the magic focus "Deep Blue" have been completely annihilated, and no one can investigate it."

"So amazing..." Rebecca, as a mage, could naturally hear how amazing the ancient magic well was. What shocked her was that humans could once master that level of power. "The Gondor Empire was so powerful back then..."

"In short, in the eyes of the Gondor people back then, the magical focus everywhere in the mainland was almost unaware of, so after barely discovering several medium-sized magical focus, Gondor stopped exploring more distant areas, and a large number of fortresses and research facilities were abolished. This should be one of the facilities that were abolished at the same time, and it is likely to be a comprehensive thing."

Amber suddenly became nervous: "Then... there would be no out-of-control ancient magic monsters or magic traps here, right?!"

Gao Wen glanced at the half-elves with a nervous face: "As a guy who dares to dig out the ancestral tombs of other people, are you afraid of such ancient facilities that have been abandoned for thousands of years?"

"That's different! Even if the person in the coffin digs out the ancestral grave, it's just a person. Once something pops up in this ancient facility, it's not sure what it is! I heard that some ancient facilities are also sealed with synthetic monsters and magical statues made by crazy magicians..."

Gao Wen had a blue vein in his mind: "I was just a 'person' when I was cheated and I really disappointed you - and the rumors about the dark mountains before were the same, and the strange stories about ancient facilities today. Where did the incorrect knowledge come from in your mind?"

Amber thought about it and suddenly said with a mysterious look on his face: "I'll tell you, in fact, I'm really the Goddess of the Night. Sometimes when I pray too much, the Goddess will give me revelation. It's all she taught me..."

Rebecca rubbed a mini fireball the size of a thumb and threw it at Amber. The latter was caught off guard and was covered in gray. He screamed: "Mom, you're crazy! It's very dangerous to throw a fireball suddenly!"

Rebecca shrugged: "…It seems that she is not a god's choice."

Gao Wen is too lazy to deal with these two guys who are not very good at dealing with.

Because the ancient door had appeared before them.

At the end of the corridor, a heavy giant door made of purple and black metal stands in front of it. This giant door has a typical Gondor "Spark Age" style, which is thick and steady, and the surface is decorated with abstract reliefs to depict the patterns of soldiers and city walls.

Amber wiped the gray and black on her face hard, and looked at the door in front of her with shiny eyes: "This thing... could it be a whole piece of purple steel?"

"Yes, it's just a whole piece, but I'll convert Rebecca into a fireball to stick your face with every piece of scum you scraped off from it," Gao Wen knocked Amber's head with the hilt of the Trail Blazer's sword, "So put away your bold ideas and wait for me to pay you a salary is the way to go."

Amber turned her head and whispered BB: "...I'm always stingy..."

Gao Wen heard her muttering, but ignored her. Instead, he took a step back and took out the crucial "key" from his arms.

From the heritage of seven hundred years ago, the Platinum Disc.

Rebecca was a little worried: "It's been so many years, can this thing really work?"

Gao Wen looked at her and smiled: "This is the technology of the Gondor Empire. As long as the main body of the facility does not collapse, its main gate will never malfunction."

As if to prove what he said was true, as the words fell, the complex patterns on the platinum disc lit up one by one, and the reliefs on the heavy metal door also flowed into rays of light.

When the light filled the entire door, a creaking and mechanical sound came from the door and the rock walls on both sides. Everyone felt the ground under their feet tremble slightly, and with this tremor, the door slowly opened.

Gao Wen, Rebecca and others were already prepared. While the door was opened, they covered their mouths and noses and retreated to both sides. At the same time, Gao Wen also opened one of the knight's basic skills, "Breath Protection", and a layer of vague barrier protected everyone on the scene - this ability is similar to the mage's basic magic "Breeze Shield". Although it can only provide very, very limited defense, it can effectively maintain a clean air environment. When going deep into places like ancient ruins, this skill can prevent the caster from being harmed by those toxic gases.

There are no poison gas traps in this ancient ruin, but there may be some gas accumulation in a confined space that has been closed for seven hundred years. It is always good to have multiple layers of protection.

It took several minutes before Gao Wen lifted his protection, nodded to the others, and took the lead in walking into the door, while Byron Knights followed closely behind.

Amber hesitated for a moment, but gave up the idea of ​​cutting a piece of metal from the door while people were not paying attention - because the purple steel was too hard, the dagger could not be clenched.

On the inside of the gate is a vast rectangular hall, where the closed door can be seen in all four directions, and the ancient property is directly piled up in this hall.

The sealed environment in the hall and the runes set in various parts of the hall ensure that the supplies here are oxidized and corroded at the slowest speed. To this day, many of them are still well preserved.

Stacks of metal ingots, various crystals, swords, armor, and several large boxes stacked in the center, more than a half-person tall.

Gao Wen stepped forward and stuck the Trailblazer Sword into the gap in the box. He pulled it hard and the box opened.

Inside one of the boxes were still shining gold and silver coins, while in the other few were neatly lavender crystals—military crystals that had been engraved and charged.

Those gold and silver coins are not the most valuable things, crystals are.

The ancient Gondor Empire dominated the continent with its advanced magic technology. The magic power from the Deep Blue Well gave the empire's mages almost endless energy to squander. Even the poor mages could hardly pile up technical results under such conditions. Therefore, the Gondor Empire at that time did something almost incredible to the four kingdoms today:

Mass production of "extraordinary armed forces".

Ordinary sword armors are not enchanted. No matter how strong or sharp they are, they are just ordinary equipment. Only equipment that has been enchanted and contains extraordinary power can be called "extraordinary weapons". In today's Ansu, enchanted weapons and equipment are things that only officers at all levels can be distributed - and not necessarily, but in the Gondor era, each soldier was equipped with a long sword enchanted with sharp sword and a standard crystal.

The spell model with primary shield and explosion is pre-set in the crystal that is only the size of a thumb. It will automatically run and identify the enemy and us. Even the big-headed soldiers without the slightest casting ability can be used - when attacked, the shield will be activated, the shield will be heated and flashed and alert, and then throw it out with force. An explosion will occur when the wearer and nearby friendly units reach a safe distance. In Gao Wen's opinion, this is simply an incredibly advanced armed force.

If it weren't for the situation that year, if they could not take these, the pioneers would not leave them behind. The team took away all the more valuable materials that could be brought with them, and these crystals were the part that had to be given up.

Gao Wen reached out and picked up a crystal, put it in his hand and rubbed it gently.

This may be a way for ordinary people to get in touch with magic, but this way cannot be done.

Only when the Deep Blue Well can this thing be infused at any cost. Now that the Deep Blue Well has been destroyed, these ancient crystals are used less than one.
