Where should I start? Loran Hill looked at Vimiya in front of him and couldn't find a way to begin.

Although she was good friends and partners with Vimiya and others at school, she actually didn't spend much time alone with them.

In the first grade, because they were in different dormitories, they only got together for group activities. In the second grade, I often had to take care of the silly Katie, which made me rarely act alone as Roland.

Looking at Loran Hill, who was speechless for a moment, his eyes slightly wide, Vimiya smiled. Although the two of them didn't have much in-depth communication, she still knew his character very well.

I guess he is worried about how to ask me for help. Luo Lan is always like this. He feels embarrassed when asking others for help and always wants to do everything by himself.

It makes people feel very independent and powerful, but sometimes they worry that such a personality will be too tiring and they will have to bear too much on their own.

Therefore, when she received her letter this time, Wei Miya was a little surprised. However, since Luo Lan had spoken up in such a state, it seemed that she had indeed encountered a problem that was difficult for her to solve.

Weimiya blinked and then spoke.

"How has Luo Lan been these years?"

"Fortunately, I fell asleep for a while and later woke up in the East Continent. It took me a while to slowly remember the past." Loran Hill said of his dazed state at the time.

"You're lucky to remember it." Vimiya comforted her for a few words, and then asked about the whereabouts of Keti.

"Katie, she must be sleeping somewhere else now. If we wake her up, it might cause a lot of trouble." Loran Hill stroked his hair in embarrassment.

"However, there are some secret methods. Follow me."

As he spoke, Loran Hill pulled Vimiya and walked towards a passage next to the room.

After turning a few forks and entering several maze-like doors, a straight cave entrance appeared in front of the two people. This cave led directly underground. It was pitch black below. If you threw a stone down, you probably wouldn't even hear an echo.

"Let's go down." As he said that, Loran Hill took Vimiya's hand, and the two jumped into the cave and then fell down.

When the speed reached a certain level, a gentle airflow lifted the two people up, and then the speed stabilized.

In this way, after falling for nearly two minutes, the two of them landed gently on the ground.

With a bang, a bright ball of fire rose up and illuminated the surroundings.

There was cold, hard rock all around, as if a small room had been cut out in the middle of the rock.

Then, Loran Hill led Vimiya forward and walked through a long tunnel that had been recently dug.

The two of them could clearly hear their own footsteps as they walked in it, and the darkness in the distance seemed to have no end in sight.

"This was recently unearthed. I heard there's a special kind of Lean ore underground that can be used to create high-level alchemical artifacts."

"We did eventually dig up minerals, but we also discovered a lot of new things, like... this ruin."

After wandering for a long time, the view suddenly opened up, revealing an immense underground world. Beneath that lofty dome, the two of them seemed as insignificant as dust.

A special fungal mat grows upside down in the sky, emitting a deep blue fluorescence that dimly illuminates the world below.

The circular corridors, the jellyfish-like dome-shaped buildings, and the remaining statues and facilities on the ground all reflect how prosperous this place once was.

And on the broken and incomplete parts of these things, you can still see traces of metal and wiring, which makes people realize that this place was not built by later intelligent creatures, but the relics of ancient civilization.

"Does Vimiya know about the ancient ruins and their creators?" The girl turned around.

"I don't know much, but I heard from Lady Phoebe that those ancient peoples once created a very glorious civilization, and that all the races on earth might have come from the same source."

"Is that so? Actually, that's the answer. Whether it's humans, orcs, elves, or even mermaids in the sea, they were all branches of ancient people, or descendants who took different paths." As he spoke, Loran Hill led the way, taking Vimiya step by step into the ruins that had long been silent.

Compared to the remains of the former 'Tree of Life Sect', the facilities here clearly have an ocean style, with waves, shells, fish, and so on.

"It may sound unbelievable, but what I am about to say is indeed the truth of the world." Loran Hill's voice was solemn and serious.

"I'm listening." Weimiya also nodded.

"Actually, although I am a witch, I was not born in this era." In this dark and deserted underground, Loran Hill finally revealed the secret that had been buried for countless times.

"The era I live in is earlier than that of the ancients, that is, the ancient era before the ancients rose to power."

"Or, as you've seen in the Great Library of Emenas, some scholars refer to that distant, obscure era as the 'Age of Steel and Lightning.'"

"Cities abound across the land. Lightning has been tamed and used as a source of energy for daily life. Almost every household has an electric machine, similar to alchemical creations, to assist human life."

Sitting down in front of a broken stone sculpture, Loran Hill looked at the dome that looked like the starry sky and spoke slowly.

"With steel as its bones and stone as its body, people have built all sorts of structures and paved roads across the land. They have connected everything with long stretches of road. Metal-clad vehicles travel at high speeds on these roads, and even sitting at home, people can use some electronic device to see and know what's happening in every corner of the world."
