Chapter 350 Undercurrents Surge
In any case, the most important thing now is to confirm what kind of accident happened in the ruins.
Taking out a magic crystal ball from the ring, Avis tried to communicate with the outside world.
Fortunately, the light of the crystal ball flickered for a moment and then remained stable, indicating that it was connected with the outside world.
"Avis, is your crystal ball still usable?"
On the side, Claire looked at Avis with some confusion.
She also held a crystal ball in her hand, but its light was very dim, indicating that the long-range magic link was completely ineffective.
And it wasn't just her. There were also people in other teams nearby who reacted quickly, but except for Avis, everyone's crystal balls had become ineffective.
"Yours is no longer usable?"
Glancing at the crystal ball in her hand, Avis roughly understood the current situation of the ruins.
“This is a secret crystal ball specially made by Olivendi. The connection method is different from that of ordinary communication crystal balls. It is connected through the mode of subspace information entanglement and can only transmit one-to-one with another matching crystal ball.
But the information it transmits is almost impossible to intercept, making it very suitable for delivering messages in this special occasion."
While explaining to the girl, Avis sent a communication request.
After a moment, Butler Leonard's old-fashioned and serious face appeared in the crystal ball.
"Mr. Anvis? Please wait a moment, I will notify the Duke immediately!"
Leonard was surprised to see Anvis, and immediately transferred to Duke Carrot.
The clone of Avis carried a spare crystal ball leading to the special transfer room of Moon Castle, which was directly looked after by Butler Leonard.
"Avis, how are you now? Is Fiona by your side? What's the situation inside the ruins? Is there any danger?"
After the call was connected, Duke Carrot's slightly hurried voice was immediately heard, and he quickly glanced at the environment around Anvis.
"We are safe for now, father. Fei is with my real body. The one who is talking to you now is my clone. There have been many unknown passages inside the ruins before. For safety reasons, I controlled my clone to explore inside."
While quickly explaining the situation to the Duke, Avis raised the crystal ball and shone it in all directions of the cave hall.
"At the other end of the passage is a hall like this. In the center is a structure similar to an altar, with a large stone bell on top..."
"No need to explain, I was there just now! It was just that when the ruins were in trouble, I was transferred out of the ruins along with the other ninth-level people."
But before Anvis could finish, the Duke interrupted him hastily.
"Listen, Avis, the ruins you are in now have been teleported to the Endless Sea. It is very likely that some special recovery mechanism has been triggered, causing it to reunite with the other half of the ruins.
The entire ruins are now covered by a special self-defense magic shield, and outsiders cannot teleport in... The royal family is urgently trying to find a way to crack it..."
As Duke Carrot was speaking, the image in the crystal ball suddenly became unstable.
The Duke also noticed this and his speech speed quickened again.
"You are now in the high seas. The Saint Messiah Empire and the Kingdom Federation have... reported that the ruins are about to be... attacked with great intensity. Immediately take Fio... and enter the underground of the explored ruins...
Remember! Never enter other...ruins..."
But as it was talking, the instability of the crystal ball quickly became more serious. After finally flashing, it went out instantly like any other ordinary crystal ball.
It seems that the magic circle discovered this loophole that could transmit messages, so it temporarily added a patch.
After putting away the crystal ball, Avis felt a little heavy-hearted.
Although the Duke's last words had become somewhat halting, the general idea was still understandable.
The news of the ruins' transmission has been leaked, and being located on the high seas means that the other two major forces can openly send ninth-level attacks and remove the upper limit on their combat power.
Putting himself in their shoes, if he were a high-ranking official in the other two major forces, he would definitely think of taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to nip the future of the Gloria Empire in the bud.
Even if the Gloria Empire holds people accountable afterwards, it can say that it was an accidental injury in the aftermath of the battle. As long as the Empire does not want to go into a full-scale war immediately, it must swallow its anger.
The Duke's last sentence was very clear: take Fiona to hide in the underground of the explored ruins, and never enter the unexplored ruins! The huge risks in the unexplored ruins are not something they can bear. Staying on the surface of the ruins is courting death. Once the ruins' protective shield is cracked, it will definitely face the enemy's ninth-level covering attack.
At that time, if you still stay on the surface, you will die.
After briefly explaining the situation to Claire, Avis looked around the cave.
Some students became very alert and carefully paid attention to their surroundings, while others were at a loss and did not understand what was happening.
After being alert for a while, the others realized that there were no subsequent abnormal changes, so they relaxed again and continued to do their previous work. Those who needed to mine were mining, and those who needed to study the altar were studying the altar.
The only difference is that the vice-president has disappeared again.
"Let's go to the altar and take a look."
After observing for a while, Avis spoke in a low voice.
"Okay, but I feel like there's something wrong with that bell, so be careful when you check it."
Claire nodded and whispered her opinion. . ….….On the other side, on the surface of the ruins.
Unlike the scattered and chaotic state of the people in the underground hall, after realizing that they had completely lost contact with the outside world, the few remaining seventh-level academy mages who were there to maintain order immediately announced the temporary suspension of the competition in accordance with the emergency system.
At the same time, the descendants of the royal family and the four major families, as well as a small number of senior students whose ranks were higher than the fourth rank, also began to spontaneously call on many students to gather urgently to prevent accidents.
Like Avis, they also learned more or less about the current status of the ruins and the current dangerous situation through their own channels at the first time.
As members of the four major families, Avis and Fiona are also helping to gather students from all over.
At the Duke's request, Anvis never separated from Fiona.
The terrain of the ruins is very complex, but fortunately, after discovering something abnormal in the ruins, many students spontaneously went to the surface to find out what had happened.
After everyone had basically gathered, the academy spellcaster counted the number of people.
At the same time, after exchanging some information, everyone immediately decided to have several seventh-level spellcasters from the academy lead the team to protect the many students as they took refuge underground.
At the same time, the news that the ruins were teleported into the high seas quickly spread and reached the ears of other forces on the continent.
The Holy City of Gonzavaran, the Empire of Santa Messia.
The pope in a white robe prayed silently to the gods and issued an order to dispatch the chief judge and divine punishment agent of the Inquisition, the two major knights of Judgment and Templar, and three of the seven archbishops.
Go together to 'explore' the underwater ruins, and you are allowed to bring three Divine Punishment Crystals.
Itel Federation, Palace of Kings.
In a rare case of the three speakers agreeing in the same opinion, many members of the parliament passed an emergency resolution within a day, making the exact location of the ruins public, allowing all ninth-level federal officers to explore the ruins on their own, and allowing the use of terminal weapons.
