After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 541 Threat
The interior space of the first floor of the Forgotten Tower is basically the same architectural style as the exterior of the tower, and is exceptionally large.
Behind the huge stone gate that was more than ten meters high, there was a rock hall that was spacious enough to accommodate a football field. The main body of the hall was made of black and gray gneiss, and the murals on the four walls had also become blurred over the long years.
Among the many stone pillars carved with thundercloud reliefs, there is a stone throne of extremely large proportions, which is obviously used by some extremely large race.
"Be careful. After all, this is the core of the city's ruins, where legends once lived. Even if most of the magical defenses have failed, don't let your guard down."
At the entrance of the hall, Lan Nuo turned around and gave serious instructions to everyone, especially his only three remaining companions.
The young prince felt that he was very unlucky. The five people he brought in were all talents he had long spotted, but two of them were gone for unknown reasons before the first day was over.
Even though he knew that the Glorious Secret Realm was not safe, it was still too quick to die. If too many people died, he would have a hard time explaining himself after he got out.
Following Lanno's reminder, his three companions now activated their own strongest defense modes.
Xia Ye Yinghuo and the Last Dragonborn instinctively looked at Avis, and after seeing the latter nod slightly, they also activated the maximum power of their alchemical armor.
This mode consumes a lot of magic crystals and is rarely activated except at critical moments.
Of course, in Anvis's opinion, this behavior is actually more of a self-comfort purpose.
If they really encountered a crisis in this tower, the things they had on them would not be able to defend themselves against it.
After making preparations, under the leadership of Lan Nuo, everyone did not go to the back of the throne, which seemed to be the huge passage leading to higher levels, but came to the front of the rock throne in the center.
Avis held the 'key' in his hand, while Lan Nuo attached his mental power to his fingertips and drew a strange symbol in the air.
As the symbol was completed, the mithril sphere in Avis's hand trembled slightly, and a faint silver glow suddenly emanated from the complex magic circuits on its surface.
As the key changed, the huge stone throne also trembled, and with a rustling vibration, it slowly moved to the side, revealing a seemingly bottomless spiral staircase underneath.
"This should be the 'eternal spiral leading to the kingdom of God' recorded in the legend. Only through it can we reach the true top of this tower."
After carefully observing the appearance of the spiral staircase, Prince Lanno came to a conclusion.
But just as everyone was about to step onto the spiral staircase, Avis' body suddenly paused unnaturally.
A familiar sense of crisis, but this time the sensation is much stronger than before.
There was some danger approaching, and it was likely that it would soon affect him.
Taking out the gold coin of destiny, Avis threw the coin into a corner of the hall amid everyone's puzzled gazes.
"What are you doing?"
Lan Nuo asked instinctively. Being used to competing with his brothers in wits and courage, he was always very sensitive to these details.
"Nothing, just a little precaution. I'm worried that an enemy might follow us in here. After all, you know the enemy's hiding ability, so there's no harm in being cautious."
Avis shrugged and gave a brief explanation.
He dared to guarantee that the enemy had definitely begun to gather here, but had not yet arrived. . ….…. "It's almost there, the direction the needle is pointing to seems to be there..."
At this moment, in the Gobi Desert outside the mountains of the city ruins, a girl wearing bright silver paladin armor, with ice-blue eyes and long hair, was running quickly towards the direction of the ruins.
As she moved forward, she also used one of her amulets to carefully sense the surrounding environment, and occasionally changed her direction slightly, as if she was avoiding something.
The girl was none other than Avis's third sister, leader of the Howling Knights, a seventh-rank Howling Knight, Alanis Olivendi.
As a descendant of the Olivendi family, she also possesses a positioning artifact similar to the stone slab. She has always acted with Evan before, but she also encountered an ambush by an unidentified person.
At that time, the eighth-level spellcaster arranged by the family to protect their safety suddenly jumped up and pierced the unsuspecting Evan with his arm.
Alanis was shocked and wanted to save him, but she found that the enemy's strength was beyond her ability to contend with.
Relying on the little time Evan desperately bought for her, Alanis used the secret sword skills she mastered and the high-level secret magic props she carried to force her way out.
After escaping far away, the girl quickly sorted out the current situation. Then she immediately decided to find Avis, inform him of the news that the Glorious Secret Realm was invaded by unknown enemies, and protect him to leave the secret realm safely.
After Evan's 'death', she is now the most powerful person in the Olivendi family in the secret realm.
Although her fourth brother is very talented, he is still too young and she must protect his safety.
In her mind, Evan had already died, so nothing could happen to Avis again.
On the way to meet up with Avis, Alanis also noticed some other anomalies.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The number of other people she encountered on her journey seemed a little too frequent.
Given the size and complexity of the Glorious Secret Realm, with hundreds of professionals thrown in, it would be normal not to encounter a single person for several days without any locating artifacts.
And now, on her way to the city ruins, she had encountered no less than three teams.
There is only one possible explanation for this: the vast majority of people are gathering in the same direction.
Because she was worried that there might be hidden enemies in these teams, she basically avoided them as far as possible when she saw them. This allowed her to avoid danger, but she also knew nothing about the shrinking sky in the secret realm.
At this moment, hundreds of miles away from the girl who was rushing towards the ruins, dozens of professionals gathered together as never before, including princes and princesses, as well as members of the other three major families.
Those who have the opportunity to enter are all descendants of true nobles. Some of them always have special adventures, which enables them to fight back even when facing those terrifying foreign beings.
After escaping danger, these people also discovered that there was a problem with the secret realm itself, and they could only hide in the direction away from the sky.
Along the way, they also encountered other people who had been attacked. After exchanging information, everyone roughly determined the specific identity of the enemy.
The existence of those ancient pagan cults is not a secret to them.
At present, led by the third princess who is the strongest and has repelled the enemy's attack head-on, everyone has temporarily gathered into an alliance, ready to jointly resist those enemies who are suspected to be evil creatures.
But at this moment, what the crowd did not know was that those companions who had been "killed" in their eyes had secretly gathered again in the city ruins, and began to secretly set up a huge ritual array in various places in the ruins.
According to the plan, as the edge of the ruins continues to shrink, the remaining survivors will inevitably gather in the city.
Gugu, there is another update tonight.
