Gu Shi ran away early before being entangled by these people.
Even when he saw someone walking towards him with a wine glass and a smile on his face, Gu Shi did not stop. He just pretended not to see it and walked away.
He found a quiet place to kill some time, and when he saw other guests starting to leave, Gu Shi immediately followed them.
After the banquet, Gu Shi returned to the Mage Tower and forgot about Mahmoud's invitation.
After a while, Gu Shi heard the news that the envoys from the Ativi Empire had left the royal city. It seemed that the storm was finally over.
The next day, Wendell came to visit Gu Shi.
Wendell's tone was very relaxed. "Ah, finally we got rid of those people. I can finally sleep peacefully."
Gu Shi looked at his expression and saw that he was visibly happy.
"It's good that it's over."
Wendell asked, "Speaking of which, what did the prince talk to you about at the banquet? Did he have his eyes on you?"
Gu Shi shrugged. "Mahmoud? That seems to be true. He's been trying to seduce me into defecting to the Atiwi Empire, and he even promised me that he would never treat me unfairly."
A hint of annoyance appeared on Wendell's face. "I knew that guy had bad intentions. Gu Shi, you must not believe what he says."
When Wendel saw Mahmoud talking to Gu Shi at the banquet that day, he was very worried. Although he knew very well that Gu Shi would not be dragged into a trap so easily, Gu Shi had no experience in dealing with such people after all.
Gu Shi comforted Wendell and said, "Don't worry, I have no intention of getting involved with him. I just want to practice magic well. These conspiracies have nothing to do with me."
"That's exactly what you would say."
Wendell sometimes envies Gu Shi, not only because of his magical talent, but also because of his freedom.
As a child from an aristocratic family, even though Wendell is not the eldest son and does not have to bear the responsibility of inheriting the family business, he is still bound by the constraints of his family, and there are many things he cannot do if he wants to.
However, Wendel was just thinking about it in his mind. He knew very well that everything he had today was inseparable from the support of his family. If he enjoyed these benefits, he must assume the corresponding obligations.
"By the way, what's the matter with you coming to see me today? You can't just come to ask me what I talked about with Mahmoud the other day."
Wendell shook his head. "Of course not. I'm here to invite you to explore the ruins with me."
"What ruins?"
Wendel explained, “Some time ago, a small family attached to our Brest family accidentally discovered the entrance to a ruin hidden by space magic.
Because they themselves were not strong enough to enter and explore the ruins, they handed it over to our family.
Now that my father has decided to open the ruins to others for exploration, I wanted to bring you along."
Gu Shi was a little confused. "Your father decided to make the ruins public? Why?"
Generally speaking, there are many precious treasures left in ruins like this. If other people are allowed to enter the ruins to explore, although some of the things can be collected as tickets, some profits will eventually be lost.
Wendel's family is not incapable of exploration, so why would they make this relic public?
Wendell spread his hands and said, "Although I invited you to explore with me, you may not be able to enter the ruins.
After a period of research, we found that this relic seemed to be screening people entering according to certain conditions, but we didn't have time to figure out the exact rules.
And once someone leaves this relic, they cannot enter again."
"According to professionals, the entrance to this ruin will completely collapse in two months at most. With such a short timeline, we simply won't have enough time to complete our exploration of the ruins, so Father decided to make it public."
Gu Shi asked curiously, "Is this relic very big?"
Wendel nodded and said, "According to the information provided by those who have been inside, this ruin is a very large ancient city.
Its architecture is well-preserved, and the various magic arrays and mechanisms inside have not failed, so the difficulty of exploration is still quite high."
Gu Shi thought about it carefully and it was true. If the size of the ruins was not large enough and the exploration was not difficult enough, Wendel's father would not have needed to announce it. Two months was neither long nor short.
After explaining, Wendel invited again: "How about you come with me and try to see if you can enter this ruins?"
"Okay, you haven't tried it yet?" Gu Shi accepted his invitation.
"I was busy dealing with the envoys before, so I didn't have time to try it. Now that the matter is resolved, I have time to care about this."
Soon, Gu Shi followed Wendel to the entrance of the ruins he mentioned.
Although Wendel's father has decided to open the ruins to the public, it has obviously not started yet. When Gu Shi and Wendel came here together, there were not many people near the entrance.
The wizard guarding the entrance greeted Wendel upon seeing him. "Hello, Master Wendel, who is this?"
Wendell said, "This is my good friend, Gu Shi. I brought him along to see if we can enter the ruins."
Hearing Wendel's words, the wizard pointed to the entrance nearby and took the initiative to introduce: "You just need to reach out and touch the entrance over there. The hands of those who cannot enter the ruins will pass directly through the entrance and appear on the other side."
Gu Shi followed the wizard's guidance and looked to the right. He saw a gate with a white halo appearing out of thin air above the grass not far away. It seemed that this gate was the entrance to the ruins.
After listening to the wizard's introduction, the two walked straight to the door and reached out to touch it.
Gu Shi felt that his hand seemed to pass through a thin film and then disappeared from his sight.
The mage stood beside them. After seeing their hands disappear through the gate at the same time and not reappear on the other side, he said, "Congratulations, both of you. You are both qualified to enter this ruin."
Wendell and Gu Shi looked at each other and said happily, "That's great."
Gu Shi asked him, "When are you going to go in?"
Wendell replied: "Since time is limited, the sooner the better.
How about this, we go back and pack up now, and I'll come find you tomorrow morning, okay?"
Of course Gu Shi had no objection, he nodded and agreed.
