The purpose of Yinla and his group's trip was to awaken the constructs within the [Ruins], those unclaimed, long-forgotten constructs... or rather, the constructs that Faviginho had failed to awaken before.

Taking those orc girls home was just something I did on the way.

The so-called "ruins" appear frequently in many novels, anime, and movies, but this world is not one where "technological development relies on archaeology."

Although the previous analogy of the key to unlocking the construct, the [Tear of God], and the [Imitation Tear of God], being like the [USB drive] of the ruins made it seem like the ancient ruins had a very high level of technology, that is not the case.

Technology is always moving forward... Whether it's agricultural tools or systems, they are all ways that humanity and all intelligent life have found for themselves, along with the changes of the times and the silence of the gods.

Before that, before the invention of the hoe and rake, people obtained food by praying, or rather, by pleasing the gods, who would then bestow food, shelter, knowledge, wives, and husbands upon them.

So-called ruins are usually ancient lands that were once blessed by the gods and perished with the end of the Age of Gods... This is certainly not the official explanation.

There is no way to confirm the existence of the "Age of Gods" in the books of this world, because of lifespan and a lack of regard for history, so it remains uncertain.

Was there truly an era in which gods were active, or has this been the relationship between gods and life from the very beginning? This has always been a point of contention.

However, some documents proving the existence of the Age of Gods can indeed be found among the elves...

Yinla has always been one of those who believe in the existence of the "Age of Gods." Or rather, if those who argue endlessly were to look at these ruins and the traces left on these broken walls, they would not doubt that all of this was the work of the gods.

The opposing side argues that these are altars built to symbolize the development of human magic, and because they were used to worship gods, their architectural style differs from other buildings of the same period.

In short, academic disputes and disputes over beliefs are both things that are difficult to judge as right or wrong.

"Sylina, are you really alright?"

Satan looked worriedly at Sirina, who was in a daze... She was seasick, and standing on the ground only made her feel more dizzy. She should feel much better after a while, but for now, she still needs to endure the weakness in her legs for a while.

"It's alright, Your Highness Satan Ye, I just need... a little more time."

With a forced smile, Shirina responded, bracing herself against the surrounding trees as she followed Illa and Satan Leaf through the woods... According to Illa, the ruins were deep within this jungle.

The reason Ira learned about these ruins was because Faviginho and Ira had made a pact to visit them together during their vacation when they were having a heated argument... In other words, Ira's source of information was Faviginho.

As for how that guy found out about this, no one knows... Given that guy's personality, he might have even dreamed about it and then came here on a whim, only to find out that there really were ruins.

Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)

Then, happily, they explored together.

"If you feel unwell, you can go back to the ship to rest."

Yinla turned his head and said this, but almost the instant he said "ship," Sirina's face, which had eased slightly, turned even paler... Indeed, it was a bit too absurd to ask her to go back to the ship.

“What I mean is, you can go back to the port and wait; there’s no need for you to specifically come with us.”

In response to Illa's addition, Sylina shook her head miserably and said, "Thank you, but it's not necessary. Actually, I'm not feeling particularly bad now... at least my head isn't dizzy anymore."

Let's hope so...

Thinking this, Yinla could only smile wryly. Then, seeing the familiar scene, he hesitated and stopped, saying, "This seems to be the place, if my memory serves me right... but..."

But there seemed to be only vines around, and no cave at all... Ah, was it blocked by vines?

"First Wing Pillar - Crimson Dragon - Wingspan".

As Yinla spoke, crimson wings unfurled behind him, accompanied by a synchronized flow of blazing flames... precisely burning away the surrounding vegetation without allowing the fire to spread.

"We've arrived."

As Yinla spoke, looking at the dark tunnel that stretched straight underground in front of the three of them, he explained, "After passing through this cave, we will reach the other side of this mountain... that's our destination."

Satan and Shirina nodded in agreement and followed behind Yinla.

Although it was dark inside the cave, the wings on Ira's back kept illuminating the surroundings, allowing Ira herself to see the path inside the cave, since Sirina and Satan didn't need to.

In this world, monsters possess the standard ability of "darksight" or "low-light vision." From this perspective, the "wings" of the governors that illuminate the night sky are also the key to the empire's turn of defeat.

This also shows how powerful the old nobles were who, in the early stages of the war between the empire and the monsters, had withstood all kinds of disadvantages and struggled for thousands of years.
