Chapter 48: Ruins

Six days later, Xu Yi appeared on an unknown island about 200 kilometers northwest of Space Island where the overseas base is located.

"Where are the ruins?" As soon as the magic airship stopped, Xu Yi asked Santander, the commander of the magic airship that brought them here.

This small island is small, and it can be seen from the sky at a glance, but there is nothing too strange to see.

"Master President, look over there..." Santander pointed to the middle of the island through the porthole of the magic airship. "Did you see it? There are a few particularly thick trees there, and the place we found that looks like a ruin is just under those trees.

"Well, then get ready to act." Xu Yi nodded, turned around and looked around, and saw Akali with an excited and expectant face, and Elder Wendini with a much more dignified expression. "Elder Wentini, you are more familiar with these ruins, do you have anything to explain?"

This time Xu Yi led the team of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to leave the main base. The obvious purpose was to go to Moyun Continent to personally guide the development of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on Moyun Continent.

But the secret purpose, one is to visit the overseas research base where Akali is located, and ask about the progress of the research by the way, and the other is to come to explore the ruins of the abyssal demons in this area.

The first time Xu Yi heard about the abyssal demons was from Magister Camilla, but later he learned more deeply from Cassandra.

But if it is really a preliminary understanding, it is through Elder Wentini.

Even among the elven tribes in the entire Sainz continent, the Azshara tribe has the most complete heritage, and also has part of the legacy of the elven royal family, so they naturally know more about the history of this continent than other elves Some.

When Xu Yi tentatively asked Elder Wendini about the Abyss Demon Race, he got a detailed answer far beyond his imagination.

According to the information provided by Elder Wendini, the Abyss Demons were indeed a powerful race that ruled the entire Sains Continent before the Elves.

Later, due to internal turmoil, the abyssal demons suffered a large number of casualties, so that the population was greatly reduced, and even almost died out.

It is said that the remaining abyssal demons. He reached the depths of the endless sea with his powerful ability, and then opened the portal to another world, left this world, and never disappeared.

For the abyssal demons mentioned by Magister Camilla, it is possible to return from another world. Elder Wentini said that the probability is very low.

Because the abyssal demons have left this world for more than ten thousand years, if they were able or willing to come back, they would have come back long ago.

Since there has been no news of any abyssal demons appearing in this world for such a long time, it can be assumed that they have completely disappeared.

Xu Yi was disappointed by this answer.

Through inquiring about various rumors about the abyssal demons, as well as records about the abyssal demons in the elves. Xu Yi is almost certain that this so-called abyssal demon clan is actually a race with a highly developed civilization and powerful technical capabilities.

Just the "Battle of Doomsday" about the abyssal demons recorded in the legends of the elves has fully demonstrated this point.

In the description of this "Doomsday War", many texts indicate that the so-called Doomsday War is the civil war of the abyssal demons who used the most powerful weapons at their disposal. As a result, most of the abyssal demons Death directly, so the population will drop sharply.

And it is for this reason. Only the abyssal demons left this world through the portal.

A few words of records and obviously speculative legends all show that the Abyssal Demons left because they felt that this world was no longer suitable for them to live in.

This so-called "Doomsday War" reminded Xu Yi of the doomsday scenes described in many literary novels on Earth.

Isn't the legendary "most powerful weapon" the same as the nuclear weapons on earth?

In novels, movies, etc. on the earth, there have been countless fantasies about the outbreak of a nuclear war on the earth, and then the entire earth will fall into doomsday, and human beings will lose their living space and can only survive.

Records about the Abyss Demon Race. Isn't it pretty close to this?

So Xu Yi became more interested in this abyssal demon clan.

It just so happened that Elder Wendini provided Xu Yi with a surprising news at this time - the elves actually knew the relics left by the abyssal demons!

According to Elder Wendini's explanation, the elves appeared on this continent more than 10,000 years ago, but after their appearance, they have been enslaved by the abyssal demons. Help them do the lowest physical work.

And after the Doomsday War, when the participating abyss demons decided to leave this continent that was not suitable for them to live in, they also asked the elves to help them build a portal, so the ancestors of the elves left some records.

However, most of these records are passed on by word of mouth, and the authenticity is not high.

However, some of them can be determined, because the descriptions in all records and legends are extremely close.

In this part of the content. Most of them are descriptions of when the abyssal demons left this world.

Among these descriptions, the most important thing is that the ancestors of the elves actually left behind the location of the portal of the abyss demons.

After spending some time researching this matter with Elder Wendini, Xu Yi roughly determined the location of the portal where the abyssal demons left this world in the first place—it was near the sea area where Sky Island was located.

Akali had chosen Space Island as the location of the overseas research base. Apart from the fact that this location was indeed suitable for the placement of the first high-altitude floating magic signal beacon, a large part of the reason was Xu Yi's private request.

Xu Yi didn't explain to Akali why he did this before, but when Xu Yi explained the "Abyss Demon Race" to Akali six days ago, he told her everything.

Akali is originally a character who likes to explore and pursue new things. After learning about such a novelty, she naturally stalks and follows her.

"There is nothing to explain." Elder Wentini shook his head. "The abyssal demons have been away from this world for tens of thousands of years. Even if there are any mechanisms, they must have already failed. Of course, everyone can be careful."

"Well, that's it." Xu Yi thought for a while, and found that there was nothing to add, so he waved his hand. "Let's go, but remember to follow my previous instructions and act carefully."

A group of people responded in unison, forming a small team and carefully leaving the magic airship.

At the front of the team are two elf warriors and two magicians from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. With the super sensing ability of the elves and the sensitivity of human magicians to the environment, even if there is any accident, they can react immediately , and some abnormal states can be detected in advance.

Elder Xu Yi and Elder Wendini, who are the most powerful in the team, are also concentrating their spirits, controlling the surrounding magical space in their own senses, and responding immediately if there is any change.

However, it turns out that they were a little too careful.

From the edge of the beach where the magic airship is located, to the location of the big trees in the center of the island, the team encountered no accidents at all, let alone danger, except for some beasts with no eyes.

Of course, if it was really that dangerous, the team sent to explore before would not be able to find the ruins so easily.

After a while, everyone safely arrived under those extraordinarily thick trees.

Xu Yi saw at a glance that there was an open space under those big trees that was obviously beneficial to the surrounding environment.

The open space was in a square shape, and all of it was paved with some kind of special stone, which completely isolated the lawn next to it, making it extremely abrupt at first glance.

And in this stone clearing about the size of a basketball court, a thick pillar stands.

This pillar is even thicker than the big tree next to it that needs to be surrounded by two people. On the surface, the texture looks a little like stone, but it also looks a little like metal, so you can't tell at a glance.

The surface of the pillar is extremely smooth, and there are no gaps, and it looks like it is made by hand.

This pillar is about ten meters high, and the top is a round ball with an unusually standard shape. The material is slightly different from the pillar, and the color is closer to metal.

But other than that, there is nothing special about this bead.

"Elder Wentini, do you know what this is?" Xu Yi asked.

Elder Wendini shook his head: "I don't know. The records handed down only say that there are relics here, but there are no more descriptions. I guess...the ancestors of the elves at that time didn't know what these things were made of. What, and the specific principle."

Xu Yi nodded in agreement.

The ancestors of the elves tens of thousands of years ago only just appeared on this continent, and they have always been used by the abyssal demons as an effort. Naturally, they don’t know much about the civilization of the abyssal demons. It’s only natural that they don’t know these things .

"There isn't even a magic line on it, what the hell is it for?" Akali patted the pillar, but the pillar remained motionless.

"The things used by the abyssal demons may not be magic." Xu Yi smiled and shook his head, then his heart moved, but he walked to the edge of the pillar and slapped it.

Akali gave him a blank look: "You say that the abyssal demons don't use magic, but you still use magic to detect, don't you think you are deceiving yourself?"

Xu Yi smiled: "That's not necessarily the case."

The magic power in his body moved, and the magic elements in the surrounding magic power space began to condense into the pillar.

Although the technology used by the abyssal demons may have nothing to do with magic, but no matter what, it is just a kind of use of energy.

Magic happens to be a relatively special way of using energy, and its biggest feature is that it is very flexible.

Of course Xu Yi didn't know the original function of this pillar, but if he used magic to detect it, there was still hope. (~^~)
