Chapter 452: The Forsaken Realm of Gods (41) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]

"Do you think it's too late for us to leave now?" Xu Zichen turned his head with a toothache.

They really didn't want to break into the collection room of the Knight Academy. It was okay because Anton was the captain's child. At most, they would just be beaten up after being discovered.

What will these outsiders do after being discovered?

"It's still in time to come..." Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows, "but I don't think there's any need to leave."

"Ah?" Guan Hongyan was startled. "Someone is coming?"

"No," he shook his head, walked to the empty display stand, and brushed his fingers across the display stand, "Magic Sand."

Everyone looked at each other and hurried over.

The display stand is bare, with only a very shallow round mark. It can be seen that a large round object was once placed here, which should be the flower pot of "Xiaohong".

There was a thin layer of dust around the edge of the mark left by the flower pot, which looked like it was probably shaken off by Irina and Anton when they took the flower pot down from the display stand.

The dirt on Delmis' fingers came from here.

"Is this magic sand?" Zhao Yinglai, the first one to come over, frowned, "Then why was that flower pot just now..."

If the dust that accidentally fell off the display stand is magic sand, then why is there ordinary soil in the flower pot?

"There are two possibilities," Bai Jinshu shook off the dust on his hands, "either the magic sand here has nothing to do with Xiaohong, or there is indeed magic sand in Xiaohong's flowerpot, but it was replaced later."

When such a simple and vulgar name as "Xiaohong" is spoken in this tone from his mouth, it doesn't sound like a flower, but rather like some dangerous magic tool.

"No matter which one it is, the Knight Academy may be related to what we are looking for, right?" Yun Guang rubbed Anton's hair, stood up, and looked around. "So the Knight Academy is the seller of the magic sand? Could it be that the magic pattern fragments are under this room?"

There was a carpet on the floor of the collection room. Without him saying anything, Guan Hongyan had already taken out a small knife and pried the carpet slightly open from the edge of the wall to make a crack.

"Let me see, there's a wooden floor underneath," she craned her neck to take a look, "Do you want to keep prying it open?"

If the magic pattern fragment is underneath this collection room, then the Perrin Mine transports magic sand here once a month, and it's unlikely that the owner of this collection room would re-lay the floor every month, right?

"Pry it open and see?" Xu Zichen also came over.

The two men used sharp knives to press against the edge of the floor crack, and a rugged pit was smashed out in the gap between the floorboards. Following the edge of the pit, Guan Hongyan lifted a corner of the floor with one hand and said, "No."

Under the floor was a plain stone floor, the same as the corridor outside.

There are only two possibilities for the dust on the display stand. The first is that it was brought in accidentally by the owner of the collection room. For example, the owner of the collection room had just come back from processing the magic sand, and when he passed by here, the magic sand on his body accidentally fell onto the display stand.

The second possibility is that there is indeed magic sand in the flowerpot, and the flowerpot in Anton’s room has been replaced by someone.

"Anton," Yun Guang's eyes flashed, "Can we go to your room again?"

If the former is the case, it means that the magic sand is stored in the Knight Academy. If the latter is the case, if Anton and Irina accidentally shook off the magic sand in the flowerpot when they moved it for the first time, then the magic sand must have been spilled all the way as the two children moved it.

The magic sand on the road will be cleaned up by the servants, but the sand that falls under the bed will most likely not be cleaned up by the servants.

They didn't look closely at his room just now, but maybe the clue was in the room.

"Also," he stretched out his hand to Guan Hongyan, who handed him a piece of paper and a pen, "If you still remember, can you draw what Xiaohong looks like?"

——————————————————————————————

Anton agreed to take everyone to his room again, but was a little afraid of Delmis, so the exploration team had to split up.

The gentle and kind man Yun Guang, Zhao Yinglai who is good at amusing children, and Enoch go to Anton's room to look for traces of magic sand, while the rest of the people look for traces of magic sand in the collection room.

The elf boy looked through the display cabinets in the collection room one by one without any knowledge, and exclaimed "Oh my God" in shock from time to time. Every time he exclaimed, everyone couldn't help but look in his direction.

In just a few minutes, the elf boy had shocked half of the room, allowing other adventurers who were unfamiliar with these collections to intuitively feel how rare the items in this collection room were.

Delmis, another person in the room who was familiar with these things, looked at the elf boy walking around with a nonchalant expression.

Only when his partner looked over subconsciously after saying "Fuck", did he suddenly perk up: "You want that?"

Under the dim light of the collection room, the blue flames in Delmis' eyes flickered with a determined light: "I'll give it to you as a gift for the 523rd ceremony anniversary."

Everyone's heart was beating fast.

Dermis's partner shook his head: "No."

"This is someone else's collection," his partner shook his head, his tone very calm, "I don't need these things."

The drums in everyone's hearts stopped.

"Dermis's partner is such a good person..." Guan Hongyan whispered to Xu Zichen, "I have no doubt that if his partner had just said he wanted it, he would have robbed the collection room."

"Didn't he say he didn't need it?" Xu Zi asked casually, "How many days are left until their wedding anniversary?"

"Fifteen days and seven hours?" Guan Hongyan scratched his head. "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm worried," Xu Zichen twitched his lips and glanced at the two people, "What do you think..."

He lowered his voice and said, "We have just finished digging one line in several days. There are seven or eight transportation routes in the Perrin Mine. This will exceed the time of his anniversary. What do you think will happen if we still can't find this rule by the time of the fifteen days?"

Guan Hongyan: "What will happen..."

[Don't worry, God of Germany might just blow up the world. ]

[Don't worry, God of Virtue will probably just kick open the door to the Kingdom of God.]

[Don't worry, when that time comes, the God of Virtue will dig deep into the ground.]

[Fuck, what you said makes me even more worried. ]

[If all else fails, we can also hold our wedding anniversary in this space... We'll all get a share...]

[Are you really a genius? ]

【The episode that I support the most. 】

[It would be even better if Deshen was willing to teach me some alchemy tips while holding our wedding anniversary (humble)]

[It would be even better if Deshen is willing to teach you some tricks of magic patterns while holding the wedding anniversary (humble)]

[It would be even better if Deshen is willing to teach you some elemental learning tips while holding the wedding anniversary (humble)]

…

Naturally, no one in the unknown space could see the content on the screen, but Guan Hongyan and Xu Zichen looked at each other and expressed their real sorrow.

Obviously, this space has nothing to do with them, and it doesn't really matter whether they can explore it or not. But when they think that a small world that has worked hard to develop from a holographic game into an independent space is about to be destroyed because of a big boss's wedding anniversary...

I always feel that it's a bit of a hell joke.

Guan Hongyan held her chin and looked at Hector: "I'm so worried..."

If the world is destroyed, what will happen to Delmis' apprentice? Can he bring him back to the original space?

This is too miserable.

Could it be that the legendary purple-haired adventurer who saved the world did not open the gate to the kingdom of God, but prevented the world from being destroyed by Dermis?

The two of them slowly looked at each other and closed their eyes.

"Let's find the magic sand first..." Guan Hongyan was silent for a while.

"Let's find the magic sand first." Xu Zichen nodded sincerely.

The two decided to do something even though they didn't know what to do, touching here and there. Although they didn't know if it would be useful, at least it seemed like they had contributed to saving the world.

"Is this thing underground also magic sand?" Guan Hongyan wandered around the collection room idly. Just when she finished observing all the collections and began to cast her eyes towards the ground and ceiling to appear to be busy, she suddenly discovered that next to the empty display cabinet, there seemed to be some fine sand mixed in the fluff of the carpet.

Guan Hongyan squatted down and carefully picked it up from the ground.

"Dermis, take a look." She placed a few grains of sand on her fingertips in the center of her palm and handed it to him. "Is it magic sand?"

"Yes," Bai Jinshu took a look, "magic sand, and it is magic sand that still has magic power."

The collection room is covered with carpet. Unlike ordinary floors, although the carpet absorbs sound, it is extremely difficult to clean without a special cleaning machine or magic.

Most of the people in the Knight Academy probably don't know magic, that's the job of the wizard.

"It's magical," Guan Hongyan thought, "Could it be that this is what Xiaohong got on the carpet when she ran out from the display cabinet?"

"Hiss... Evil," Guan Hongyan shuddered after saying this, "This scene is a bit magical."

She felt dizzy whenever she thought of a big red flower planted in a flowerpot, which was as big as her face, with its roots and stems buried in the soil extending out and crawling around on the ground like a spider.

Fortunately, this is not a world of Czar, otherwise her overly rich imagination would cause her to have a san chenck.

"Then let's look for it? Maybe we can figure out where the flower went?" Su Hao took the initiative to speak.

"You don't have to look for it," Bai Jinshu looked up at him, "I can do it."

Magic sand with magic and magic sand without magic are two completely different things. Magic sand without magic is just ordinary sand, but if it still contains magic, then this sand dug from above Alterac can easily be attracted by the same elements.

The necromancer raised his hand slightly.

In the dim light of the collection room, some tender green stars rose on the ground, and soon they connected into a line leading to the corner.

"Isn't this a door?" Bai E and Su Hao looked at each other and followed the cold white line to the corner of the room.

Su Hao squatted down and lifted the carpet.

Under the carpet, a passage that looked like it had been dug not long ago appeared in front of everyone.

"'Xiao Hong' dug it?" White Moth couldn't help but blurt out, "Can this be dug out from a normal plant?"

Even if it was a smaller animal, it wouldn't be possible to dig such a wide passage, right?

What's more, this passage seemed to be very long, leading all the way to the outside world. As the carpet was lifted by them, star points with green light rose up in the passage.

This is also magic sand.

"Xiaohong" escaped from here.

"Now that you say the flowers left on their own, I really believe it," Guan Hongyan gestured tentatively, "No, people can't get in."

The hole is still too big for an adult.

Maybe the child could go, but Anton had nothing to do with their investigation and no way to contact them, so they had no reason to let Anton go.

And what is "Xiaohong" doing down there?

Bai Jinshu squatted down at the side of the passage and reached out to pick up a small leaf that looked a little withered.

The leaves were like the fallen leaves outside the city of Cyril, with the edges becoming brittle and yellow, and the color was no longer emerald green.

If you crush it gently, the brittle part will break into pieces.

"The Perrin Mine is in the fairy kingdom, and there is a large amount of wood element in the magic sand," Bai Jinshu suddenly said, "This element will greatly promote the growth of plants."

This is why the vegetation around the Perrin Mine is far more lush than anywhere else.

"So the soil in Xiaohong's flowerpot is magic sand?" White Eth asked subconsciously.

"So, this is why the plants in the Knight Academy grow much better than those outside Cyril City." Bai Jinshu raised his head and glanced at the green dots in the passage. "'Xiaohong' dug this hole to find magic sand."

Although I don’t know what happened, looking at the state of the plants around Cyril City, I can see that the plants in Slenkmed are withering.

When the plants dry up, the self-aware magical plants will spontaneously move to places with abundant wood elements to seek survival.

Just like "Xiao Hong".

Bai Jinshu stretched out his hand and waved it in the air.

"What's wrong?" The ghost ship's captain emerged from underground.

"Something's up," said Capitalist Delmis, looking down at him. "Go into this hole, see where it leads, and tell us."

Captain: ???

"Dermis, I solemnly tell you that I also have dignity!" He excitedly rose from the ground, "No matter how many hundreds of years I have been dead, I will never crawl into a dog hole..."

"Five hundred years." Bai Jinshu raised his eyes.

"Ah, who was talking just now? It's so scary. I'm dead but there's still a ghost possessing me." The captain's expression changed in an instant. "What is this? There's actually a hole. To be honest, I don't have any hobbies except drilling this kind of thing. Do you have any other instructions?"

"After you go in, take a look at where the main entrance of this place is," Bai Jinshu ignored Captain Xijing and said, "Then tell us, and we will find the main entrance."

"Okay, boss. No problem, boss." The captain quickly went into the cave.

"Can it be like this?" Lu Changfeng was stunned.

"Money makes the world go round," Guan Hongyan was silent for two seconds, "or it makes the world go round."

The captain soon floated up again from below: "It seems to be a warehouse underneath, all kinds of dirt. It was too dark for me to see clearly. I only saw where the gate was."

"Take us there." Bai Jinshu made a prompt decision.

With someone leading the way, it is much easier to find the location where the magic sand is stored.

Ten minutes later, everyone found a secret door in the back mountain of the Knight Academy. At the same time, the temporary group chat vibrated twice.

Zhao Yinglai: [It’s all over. ]

Zhao Yinglai: [The knight at the door sent a message to the Armor Group, Anton's father came back early and happened to run into us at the door.]

Guan Hongyan let out a loud "hiss"

Guan Hongyan: [You were caught? You just said you were playing with the kids, you didn’t do anything anyway.]

The few of them who were left behind were the ones who broke into someone else's collection room. Yun Guang and the others only went to Anton's room to look for traces of magic sand. Even if they were bumped into, they could make the excuse that they were playing with the children.

Zhao Yinglai: [...Yun Guang also said so.]

Zhao Yinglai: [But something unexpected happened. ]

Everyone's attention was focused on the temporary group chat.

Yun Guang: [Anton's father knew Enoch and took the initiative to ask him if he came here for "the thing buried under the castle", so now we are trying to get him to talk.]

Yun Guang: [I'll let Xiaoying's shadow puppet go find you. She can convey the message much faster than we can type.]

Those who had already reached the back mountain quickly sent over a coordinate.

Ten minutes later, a familiar figure ran over from the front. Before he could stand still, Zhao Yinglai quickly explained, "Anton's father recognized Enoch at a glance, and then naturally asked him if he came here for the thing buried under the castle. Yun Guang and I saw the opportunity to ask him, and he said yes. Then his father naturally asked us why no one brought the materials to maintain the magic pattern this time."

This "material for maintaining magic patterns" should refer to magic sand.

Anton's father didn't know that this was magic sand, but he knew that there were magic patterns under the magic sand.

"We continued to ask if there was any problem with the magic pattern without the materials. Anton's father looked a little strange after he mentioned this topic. It was only when Enoch asked him that he replied that his wife had been gone for five years. There were no other mages in the Knight Academy, and he didn't dare to ask other mages from the outside world to come in and take a look. He was worried about the magic pattern problem, so we came here."

"His wife?" Xu Zichen took the initiative to answer, "His wife has been gone for five years, so does that mean..."

"Yes, I also suspect that it is the principal of the Knight Academy and the professional mentor of the Knight profession," Zhao Yinglai took a deep breath, "You can't tell Enoch is such a good person at ordinary times, but he is quite good at pretending when it comes to the critical moment."

She and Yun Guang were both afraid that Enoch would show something wrong, but they didn't know whether he and Anton's father had only met once and were not familiar with each other, or whether the other party had been pretending to be a white-bearded grandfather for several years and had already acquired a lot of experience. After chatting for so long, the captain on the opposite side did not realize that the current "Enoch" had already lost his memory or had been replaced by a different person.

Anton's father on the opposite side also seemed unfamiliar to him, but perhaps because of some common experiences, or because these things could not be mentioned to other people for so many years, this seemingly mature and steady man also opened up at this time, and kept telling Enoch about their situation over the years.

Anton's mother left after giving birth to Anton five years ago. Since then, the only person in the entire Knight Academy who knew this secret was Anton's father. He had no idea where his wife had gone, he only knew that this was something she "had to do."

She had left several months later than planned in order to give birth to Anton.

"He asked us if his wife would come back," Zhao Yinglai relayed the story. "We didn't know either. We could only fool him by saying that the matter had not been completed yet and we didn't know when it would end."

"It seems that these career mentors all knew that I was leaving, and they left on their own initiative and were able to adjust their schedule freely," Guan Hongyan pinched her chin, "but those who knew about it are gone now."

"Hiss," the shadow puppet from Zhaoying suddenly took a breath, "Enoch really knows the Great Mage!"

"What's wrong?" everyone asked quickly.

"Anton's father asked about the Grand Mage. He hasn't heard from him since the last time they worked together to set up the magic circle," Zhao Yinglai relayed, "So all this is indeed related to the Grand Mage. It was Enoch who completed this mission with the Grand Mage."

This is why he remembered the magic pattern.

"And now we have an exact time, ten years ago," Zhao Yinglai looked up, "all this was arranged ten years ago, the God of Light disappeared six years ago, the Knight mentor was five years ago, and the other professional mentors should have left one after another. All of this was for a 'thing that had to be done'."

"What is 'something that must be done'?" Xu Zichen guessed randomly, "Could it be saving the world?"

"Save the world..." Bai Jinshu repeated the phrase, "If the supply of magic sand is cut off, the world will be in crisis?"

If all this is for the purpose of saving the world, then the transportation of magic sand and the magic patterns under the magic sand are for the same purpose.

When the magic sand stopped, the plants began to wither, so conversely, it can be concluded that transporting magic sand will ensure the lush growth of plants, just like on the first day of entering this space, Delmis used wood elements to ripen a sapling.

"The fourth expansion pack!" all members of the exploration team said in unison.

"In the fourth expansion pack, which has not been updated yet, the crisis that Slenkmed encountered was the invasion of another continent. The races of that continent had to come to Slenkmed because a strange disease appeared on their land. All the plants dried up, all the flowers withered, the earth became sick, and no living things could survive," Guan Hongyan quickly repeated the content that everyone had seen before. "The update of the fourth expansion pack stopped at the protagonist discovering this strange disease on the alien continent, and this disease will spread!"

So it's possible that it has spread into Slenkmed as well.

"But..." White Moth frowned, "But the game hasn't finished updating the expansion pack yet, how could Slenkmed be infected?"

"Because," Bai Jinshu's voice suddenly sounded, "Slenkmade is alive."

This holographic game, which has become an independent little world, has come alive. It no longer relies on code to survive and has its own world rules. Then the disease on another continent...

It spread naturally.
