Chapter 536 Conspiracy
At this moment, in a dark rock hall outside, dozens of strange cloaked figures gathered here.
Judging from the positions of the people gathered into several small groups and the different colors of their cloaks, these cloaked figures obviously came from different forces.
"Is this really okay? Aren't we taking too big a step? If we are discovered by the Empire or the four major families due to the noise, we won't be able to resist with our current strength."
At this time, one of the three figures wearing pure black cloaks and dark golden masks was asking questions to several mysterious people on the other side who were covered in dark green hooded robes.
The two parties respectively represent certain nobles in Gloria and a mysterious cult that came to them through the channels of certain prophets and offered to cooperate.
And it was the nobles who raised the question at this moment.
Since the first step of this plan involved several members of the four major families and the royal family, they were very worried that this mysterious cult would overturn due to playing too big, and as a result, they would be implicated as well.
Unlike the mysterious cult that arranged a large number of strange beings, they replaced them with the real subordinates of many big figures in advance, and then followed them into the secret realm.
The nobles have great wealth and power in the Gloria Empire. If they escape, the losses will be incalculable.
"What a sad question! Since the gods have been gone for so long, have their former powers been forgotten by the world?"
In response to the questions of several nobles, a member of the cult turned his dark green hood slightly, glanced at the three nobles with sarcasm and disdain, and asked back in a strange alien tone.
If you look closely, you will find that the dark green cloaks worn by these cult members are not actually completely without any decoration.
On one side of their backs, in a dark green color that matched the material of their clothes very closely, was branded an emblem that looked like a twisted pentagram.
"Don't worry. The door has been opened. Even if it is closed again, it will never be restored to its original state. The footsteps of the gods are approaching. Even if it is just His breath, it is impossible for ordinary people to detect it."
"Well, I hope so!"
Listening to the weird speeches of those cult members, another noble man in black robe snorted coldly, agreeing with their explanation.
Although they knew the plan's schedule in advance, they were still a little worried when it came to actually implementing it.
They really couldn't tell the depth of this unknown cult, but the enemy they were facing now was no ordinary person. They were the four major families and the imperial royal family, a behemoth that had existed for thousands of years!
"Don't worry, under the guidance of fate, our path will eventually reach the top of the sky."
"Also, in the first step of the plan, the targets will not die directly. Instead, they will only lose control of their bodies, and outsiders will not immediately notice any abnormalities."
At this moment, two figures in gray robes from the third party present spoke separately, bringing an end to the brief conversation.
After each party expressed their respective progress in the tasks they were responsible for, the brief meeting came to an end.
Afterwards, many figures disappeared through space and returned to their original identities.
One of the black-robed figures flashed, and the surrounding rock palace environment instantly turned into a familiar study.
He casually removed his hood and mask and set them aside, revealing the face of Marquis Winter underneath.
Although he knew that cooperating with these foreign forces with their own agenda might be like courting disaster, he didn't want to wait any longer.
Due to the existence of the four major families, the expansion of his family's power had long been stagnant. Even his own strength had remained at the ninth level for hundreds of years.
Simply waiting will never bring you hope.
Faced with the truly higher level of power shown to him by the mysterious cult, he could not refuse.
"The four great families that protect the country? Humph... Unfortunately, the current empire no longer needs the protection of the four great families. My old friends must have the same idea as me."
A low laugh echoed in the study, and eventually disappeared along with the dim light that remained in the study. . …..… Carrying the alchemy shuttle, Avis and his party finally arrived within the range of the city ruins.
After actually entering the city, Avis discovered that the city was much less dilapidated than he had previously imagined.
Although the surfaces of many buildings show signs of weathering and erosion over the long years, the overall structure is still well preserved.
What is a bit special is that some of the buildings in the city are of unusually large proportions and feature many statues of different forms.
"That one should be the statue of the legendary Titan, right?"
Pointing to a huge moon limestone statue that was tilted and lying on the ground, Albins suddenly spoke.
"It should be. Let's land and take a look."
Avis nodded, controlled the alchemical shuttle, and landed on the open space next to the huge Titan statue.
When they looked at it from the sky, they didn't feel much. But when they landed on the ground, the three of them realized that the length of the alchemical shuttle they were riding was not even one-fifth of the length of the statue.
Even though Avis and the others were riding on a small shuttle, it was enough to highlight the size of the statue.
What was special was that there were some pale white crystal clusters growing on the surface of the statue. The glittering objects that Anvis had seen from afar were the reflections of these crystal clusters.
"It's for sure. This is a statue of a Titan. The sculptor most likely saw a living Titan. And judging by those special giant buildings, it's even possible that a Titan actually lived in this city."
After a closer look, Anvis came to a conclusion.
"The crystal clusters on the statue are somewhat strange and should be of some value. I hope to study them."
Albins was very interested in those crystal clusters. In his perception, those crystal clusters had unusual power. Their existence seemed to interfere with the space-time constants nearby.
"Well, let's explore this ruins freely for now. If you encounter any danger that you can't handle, use the amulet I gave you earlier to contact me."
Hearing the hidden meaning in Albins's words, Avis waved his hand and cut off a part of the crystal cluster from the statue, preparing to take it back for research.
"According to the records, every time the Glorious Ruins are opened, the exploration time for those entering is fixed at seven days. After the time is up, no matter where the explorer is, he will be directly teleported out.
One day later, we met under the tall tower in the center of the city."
"good."
He nodded, and without seeing any movement from Albins, a pure black metal armor structure suddenly extended from his belt and wrapped him up completely.
The dark blue magic glow flowed in the complex circuits on the surface of the armor. In Avis's perception, the aura emitted by Albins at this moment was infinitely close to the seventh level.
Glancing at him, Avis also became alert.
The alchemical shuttle behind the three people shrank to the size of a watermelon and hovered behind Avis like a floating cannon.
At the same time, the magic core of the shuttle was connected to the magic costume on Avis, which increased the aura of power he exuded to a level close to the seventh level.
“…”
Looking at the two 'bosses' beside him who could switch forms, the Last Dragonborn felt a great deal of pressure.
