According to the Undead Lord, the ruins he discovered were not far from them.
In other words, the ruins are actually near its home.
——After it discovered the ruins, it quickly drove away the original lord of the area and moved itself to the vicinity of the ruins so that it could guard them more conveniently.
On the way, Meng was a little excited, because in his opinion, the ruins they were heading to should be the ruins of Dailan.
Didn’t the Undead Lord say that?
"That relic is very powerful. It can allow people to have everything they want...", which immediately reminded him of the "Stone of Prophecy".
From Dailan's notes, it is mentioned that the stone of prophecy knows everything and can answer people's deepest doubts. Doesn't it correspond to the phrase "have everything you want"?
He took a deep breath and tried to say something to Ash to calm his shaking emotions.
After thinking about it, I just happened to have something to ask: "Ash, do you know a black-robed wizard named Brant?"
Ash hesitated for a moment and said, "I only know a wizard named Brent Familio. But he is just an apprentice wizard. At least he was half a year ago."
Meng was also stunned: "It's Familio, right... Is it the same name?"
Otherwise, how could a person be promoted from a wizard apprentice to a black robe wizard in less than a year?
Ash's strength improvement speed is already outrageous enough, how is it possible that anyone can surpass Ash?
Ash asked, "Uncle Meng, have you met him?" Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it up suddenly, right?
Meng nodded. "Didn't Jian and I sneak into the Secret Alliance to get information about the mysterious organization? Almost all of the Secret Alliance bases in Leigu Town have been infiltrated by the mysterious organization, and everyone is extremely tight-lipped. I was just worrying about how to get the information, and then I accidentally overheard a high-level person's words and learned a series of information about the sacrifice ceremony."
"The intelligence came so easily and strangely that I was skeptical at first," he said. "But Jane and I took the intelligence and tried it several times, and finally confirmed that there was no problem. At that time, we felt that we were lucky and had hit the right time, but now think about it, maybe the senior executive leaked the information to me on purpose?"
Although this news was half true and half false, the time and place were correct, but the outcome of the ceremony was completely different.
But we can't say that the other party deliberately leaked false information.
It is more likely that in order to strictly guard the secret of the ruins, the mysterious organization even deceived its partners in the Secret Alliance, telling them that the sacrificial ritual was for a summoning.
In other words, the wizard named Brant revealed all the information he knew.
Extremely friendly attitude.
Meng added: "When I eavesdropped on him, he mentioned to others that he would go to the Brilliant Royal City to look for an old friend soon. His friend promised to take him to eat all over the city. When I heard it, I felt that his tone was wrong, especially subtle, as if he was talking to me specifically... Now that I think about it, when I mention the Brilliant Royal City, I think of you. Do you have such a friend?"
Ash understood, so that's why he suddenly asked him if he knew Brent?
He is now certain: "The Brent I know should be the one you are talking about." He just doesn't know why his identity suddenly changed from a wizard apprentice who manages a village under the brilliant throne to a black-robed wizard in the upper echelons of the secret alliance.
It feels like Sigourney, with different identities on both sides.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the vampire beside him, who was casually teasing and bullying the white ball who didn't dare to resist.
Sigourney also heard their conversation and said coldly, "This person is in the Wizard Association and is hiding his strength."
Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to improve the strength in half a year.
If Ash, who was blessed by the stars, couldn't do this, how could others do it?
After saying that, Sigourney tilted her head again and looked at Ash: "Who is Brent?"
In his memory, Ash had been with him almost all the time since he came to Iluf from Broken River Plains. So when did he meet Brant? How come he had no impression of him at all?
"I met him when Ivan and I were traveling from Boulder Castle to the Royal City. He is the manager of Fami Village and the only survivor of the magical accident at Familio Manor." Ash smiled at Signy. "I hadn't met Signy at that time."
Sigourney looked away as if nothing had happened: "Oh."
Ash looked at Meng again: "Uncle Meng, your intuition is correct. He probably knew about your relationship with me, so he deliberately revealed the news to you. At that time, it was Yelena who told him that she would take him to eat all over the royal city."
Meng stroked his chin and said, "It seems that he is not in the same group as some of the poisonous members of the Camarilla. He knew that we were going to cause trouble, but he still deliberately passed the message to us."
Ash thought thoughtfully, "Maybe he just wants us to cause trouble."
It was as if a spark burst out in his brain, instantly connecting countless fragments of memory - he remembered the night when he stayed in Brandt's wizard tower, the dying elf lying outside his window, Brandt's carefulness when holding the elf, and the battle that took place at the old site of Familio Manor that night...
Memory is like a rushing river, splashing countless waves of thoughts.
Could the serious injury of the elf that day have anything to do with the Secret Alliance or the mysterious organization?
It shouldn’t be a coincidence that Brent appeared at the secret alliance base in Leigu Town, right?
Can we speculate that the elf has been living in the old site of Familio Manor, and is privately cared for by Brent, the manager of Famili Village not far away. One day, a mysterious organization discovered this lone elf and regarded it as a "commodity" that could be captured, so they arranged for people to capture it.
During the capture process, the elf fought with the opponent, was seriously injured, and escaped.
Finally, he came to Brant's wizard tower for help and fell in front of his window.
In order to track down the whereabouts of the murderer, Brandt found his way to the secret alliance base in Leigu Town, a base that was in collusion with the mysterious organization.
He revealed the information to Meng in order to use them to take revenge on the organization.
Ash slowly told Meng his speculation. Meng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and patted Ash on the shoulder: "You are already a qualified astrologer! It's amazing that you can see the most likely truth from countless tiny clues."
Ash pursed his lower lip in embarrassment and shook his head. How could this be considered remarkable? He had only glimpsed the most likely truth, not the only truth... He was still far from it.
The white ball, who was lying in Sigourney's palm and dared not say a word, finally found the opportunity to interrupt: "Here, here we are."
Where are we?
Ash looked around and was still on the Wanyuan Plain, with a panoramic view. There was nothing near them, not even a trace of ruins.
Could it be underground?
The white ball said tremblingly: "Wait a little longer, it will appear."
It said: "The ruins will open when the stars are at their brightest. Although this is the abyss and you can't see the stars, the time is consistent with that of Ilufu. You can estimate the time of Ilufu."
When the stars shine brightest?
It was Iluv's night when they arrived at the sacrificial ceremony.
After all this trouble, it must be almost midnight now, right?
Ash nodded to Sigourney. Although his connection with the stars had been weakened a lot, he could still sense that the moment when the starlight was at its brightest was about to come.
