Chapter 510 Crisis in the Ruins

Anweisi didn't know that someone was behind the scenes arranging his secret meeting, but even if he knew, he would just laugh it off.

There is no way. His current strength and vision have far surpassed the horizons of the descendants of aristocrats.

Players don't really have much loyalty, but that doesn't stop them from being very useful.

Moreover, for him, it is much easier to manage players with panels than natives without panels.

Avis's main attention is currently focused on the changes in the ruins where the Sword of the Chosen King is said to exist.

After several days of exploration, following the guidance of the secret methods of the School of Prophecy, he finally entered the real core area of ​​the ruins: a secret room made entirely of special alloys, with walls covered with isolating inscription arrays.

This special inscription array seems to have a very strong blocking effect. Even prophecy magic cannot touch the items in the secret room. If it weren't for the unexpected coordinates, it would take a long time for this relic to be truly revealed.

In the center of the secret room, Avis saw a huge arcane instrument. A spiral crystal structure of magic energy transmission devices protruded from the periphery, with the tip pointing to the altar in the center that was densely covered with magic circuits . On top of the altar, which was nested with four layers of black and gold inscription rings, an aura-emitting spherical barrier and a stone sword at the core of the barrier caught Avis's eyes.

Yes, it was a stone sword made entirely of gray stone, deeply embedded in the rock on top of the altar. If he hadn't seen the picture of the Sword of the Chosen King before it was revived in his previous life, Avis would probably have suspected that it was a fake sword.

According to historical records, the Sword of the Chosen King was made entirely of an unknown metal, and its surface was covered with extremely precise three-dimensional inscription circuits, none of which was present on the stone sword in front of him.

But Avis knew that this was the case before it was unblocked.

As for the specific steps to unlock it, he was not clear. In his previous life, the super-large camp confrontation mission obtained by several large player guilds was to try every means to obtain it and then hand it over to a top indigenous force.

It could be the camp of the four major families or the camp of the imperial royal family. There might also be hidden missions secretly assigned to the other two empires.

In the previous life, this task was finally completed by the Silver Blue Club. The Sword of King Selection was handed over to the Imperial Family, and the horrific rewards and support from the Imperial policies directly established Silver Blue's position as the top club among the three major clubs.

And in this life, this legendary sword is right before him.

"Is this the sword of the chosen king mentioned in the epic?"

However, Avis was not the first person to find this place. At this moment in the secret room, another figure wearing a full set of magic pattern armor and exuding the aura of the seventh level had already been guarding here.

The figure seemed somewhat wary of Avis's appearance.

Although he found this place earlier than Avis, he was unable to break through the barrier in front of him. He could only search here unwillingly, trying to find a way to remove the barrier.

His name is Dawes, and he is the deputy leader of a nearby explorer team.

He was not a member of the noble family, but he accidentally learned the news of an unknown relic here due to an accidental eavesdropping.

At this time, Doss did not associate the stone sword in the barrier with the legendary Sword of the Chosen King.

But to be able to be protected so well and to still maintain the function of the barrier after countless years, the sword must be some kind of powerful treasure.

The appearance of Avis disrupted his plan.

In this kind of ruins, everyone is a potential enemy. If he insists on continuing to crack it, he may be taken advantage of by others.

His eyes flashed, and Doss suddenly left the secret room, hiding his figure and breath with a strange object.

"Really alert..."

Avis looked calmly at the direction where Doss disappeared, and did not stop him.

He didn't care whether an ordinary seventh-level person really left or waited for him to break the barrier and then kill people and steal the treasure.

As for the barrier in front of him, without the influence of rules and power, no barrier could stop him.

Under the gaze of Doss, who was hiding nearby, who seemed to have seen a ghost, Avis walked into the barrier as if it was nothing and tried to pull the stone sword from the altar.

But the moment he grasped the hilt of the sword, a sense of crisis of death like a thorn in the back suddenly enveloped Avis's mind, making him even have the illusion of drowning.

Don’t pull it out, don’t pull it out, don’t pull it out! ! I’m going to die, die, die, die…! ! ! His face changed drastically, and Avis let go as if he had been electrocuted, and instantly escaped from the range of the barrier.

In the quadruple ring of inscriptions on the surface of the altar, a ray of red light dimmed again, as if nothing had happened.

"What's going on? Is this some kind of defense system of the ruins... No, that kind of all-round pure destructive force, I would believe it even if you say it's a self-destruct system."

After adjusting his breathing, Avis calmed down again and carefully recalled the crisis that had suddenly occurred.

Since it was not his real body that came to explore, even if he died he would only lose this clone, so he was not too nervous at this time.

"Something seems to be wrong. Let's try again..."

After trying to destroy the surrounding magic array structure again and regaining the sense of crisis, Avis finally confirmed that this secret room seemed to contain some "defense system" that was fatal to him.

"There seems to be some kind of horrible trap hidden at the location of the Sword of the Chosen King. Before we find a solution, it's best to let others try first."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After confirming the problem, Avis left the secret room without any reluctance. After glancing at the direction where someone was hiding as if unintentionally, he also disappeared in a flash.

He found me! There, Dawes's heart sank immediately. This time he really fled quickly without looking back, fearing that Avis would kill him and silence him.

Avis didn't care about it, he was waiting for others to arrive.

Judging from the time, people from other major families should be arriving soon.

In the subsequent attempts, the stone sword gave him a strange feeling of being superficial. Considering that the Sword of the Chosen King appeared more than a year earlier than in the previous life, he suddenly had a little doubt about it.

Is it really because of his butterfly effect that this change has taken place? Or is this actually a trap set by someone, and the time has not yet come for the real Sword of the Chosen King to appear in the world?

Anvis's wait did not last long, and soon, a group of three explorers arrived here.

The visitor did not hide his identity. Based on his conspicuous brown hair and dark golden eyes, Avis easily recognized that the visitor was from the Aslade family.

The leader was none other than the fifth son of the Aslade family, Asira Aslade.

Following the subtle traces left by Doss's exploration of the ruins, the three soon found this place.

Just as Avis guessed, out of personal selfishness, the few of them did not immediately notify the Ninth Order of the family, but came to explore in person, intending to get the Sword of the Chosen King as soon as possible.

At this moment, when he saw the layout of the secret room and the stone sword in the spherical barrier, Yasira's dark golden eyes slowly narrowed. It was the excitement and satisfaction of an explorer who finally found the treasure after going through untold hardships.

"That's it, Seamus, Morag, find a way to break the barrier immediately!"

Although they didn't know why their loyal master was suddenly excited, the two dragon blood guards still obeyed the order. The eighth-level aura rose up, and two attack spells flew directly to the strange instrument under the barrier.

Their idea was simple: if they could get rid of the device that provided energy, the barrier would naturally cease to exist.

At this moment, Avis's spiritual sense began to give crazy warnings again.
