“We’re here, this is the place,” said Tree Spirit and Angel as they descended from the sky.
Angel surveyed the surroundings, finding himself on a vast, flat land with no end in sight. There were neither undulating snow-capped mountains nor frozen glaciers, just a mundane wilderness.
The snow was scant, thinly spread, barely as thick as a finger joint. In many places, the white snow did not cover the ground, exposing the grey, disorderly rocks beneath, bleak and stern.
“Do you sense the anomaly?” asked Tree Spirit.
Angel nodded. Although the place looked desolate, devoid of any man-made structures, upon arrival, his keen mental sense detected faint spatial fluctuations.
Presumably, this was the location of the ruin.
However, this ruin was unique. Angel sensed the spatial fluctuations but couldn’t capture and open them.
Currently, the ruin remained unrevealed, sealed within layers of interstitial spaces. To activate the ruin, one must accurately locate its position amidst the endless interstitial spaces.
This was no easy task, akin to how they had not yet pinpointed where Azaz’s demon was hiding in the interstitial spaces.
However, since Tree Spirit brought him here, there likely was another way to enter this ruin.
True enough, Tree Spirit soon provided an answer: “Entering this ruin isn’t difficult, as long as you have the key.”
The so-called key was not a traditional key but something related to the ruin.
Tree Spirit handed over a bundle of scrolls to Angel, saying, “This is the key.”
Upon receiving the scrolls, Angel noticed that the outer layer of the scroll was inscribed in an archaic common language with the words: —Tizarro Experiment Record No. 117 (Volume I)—.
Angel believed that the key was recorded on the scroll and was about to examine its contents. However, at that moment, he sensed an unusual presence.
In the ruins in front of him, emanating spatial fluctuations, something seemed to be resonating with the scroll.
It was like a connection of destiny.
With Angel’s current abilities, he could easily follow this connection and pinpoint the exact location of the spatial fluctuations.
“So, the key refers to this?” Angel realized then that the key was not the information on the scroll, but the scroll itself.
Tree Spirit: “The previous inhabitant of these ruins, named Tizarro, left the lower volume of Experiment Record No. 117 here. Since the upper and lower volumes are part of the same entity, holding the upper volume allows you to sense the location of the lower volume.”
As soon as he sensed the location of the lower volume, the position of the ruins hidden in the interstitial space would naturally reveal its coordinates.
“If you can sense the location of the lower volume, you can now try to open the ruins through its coordinates,” said Tree Spirit.
Angel nodded, then closed his eyes, and using the ‘key’ in his hand, he traversed the void with his mental power. When he sensed a distinct spatial fluctuation, he opened his eyes.
A glowing energy, from Angel’s fingertips, slowly merged into the void. It captured and activated the fleeting spatial fluctuation.
Soon after the glowing energy merged into the void, without making any sound, a large door made of metal materialized before them.
Tree Spirit scrutinized the door: “Hmm… yes, this is the entrance to the ruins. The seal set up back then has not been removed, so the interior should remain unchanged.”
Having said that, Tree Spirit didn’t hesitate to push open the door: “Let’s go, we’re entering.”
Behind the grand gate, according to what Tree Spirit said, there is a narrow corridor, but now it’s pitch dark inside, and nothing can be seen with the naked eye.
“There are candlesticks on the wall that can be lit. But I don’t think it’s necessary.”
Angel and Tree Spirit entered the corridor, and Tree Spirit began to introduce the ruin. However, he suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
Angel turned around and saw Tree Spirit still standing at the entrance of the corridor, with an odd expression.
“Lord Tree Spirit, what’s wrong?” Angel looked into the deep corridor. “Is there a problem with this ruin?”
Tree Spirit coughed: “There’s nothing wrong with the ruin, it’s just that… someone has come to Tree Spirit Hall to find me, in my true form.”
Angel didn’t ask who was looking for him, but Tree Spirit volunteered the information: “It’s Liana.”
Angel suddenly realized: “I suppose it’s about the venue for the tea party again?”
Tree Spirit nodded: “Probably, but this time Liana didn’t come alone, she brought Fire Charm Witch and also…”
“And?”
Tree Spirit lowered his head, hiding his expression in the shadow, and quickly uttered a name.
Although Tree Spirit was somewhat vague, Angel still heard the name——Nian Yesevei.
Angel immediately understood. Probably, Liana intended to use Nian Yesevei to ‘persuade’ Tree Spirit.
It must be said, Liana’s strategy is clever. Likely, Tree Spirit will have to compromise this time, as it’s well known that he seems to have a secret love for Nian Yesevei.
If Nian Yesevei were to speak, Tree Spirit’s chances of refusal would be very slim.
Angel noticed that the expression of Tree Spirit was subtly indicating that charm spells might have already been used on the other side.
“Tree Spirit, you go handle that side. The ruins have been sealed for centuries, so there shouldn’t be any problems. I’ll organize things over here by myself,” Angel kindly suggested.
Tree Spirit hesitated for a moment, then nodded: “Alright.”
However, Tree Spirit didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he turned and walked out of the ruins’ main gate, lightly touching the ground at the entrance.
A pale green leaf gently fell from mid-air, merging into the earth. The next second, a large tree with lush green leaves miraculously appeared at the entrance of the ruins.
“This tree is a kind of my avatar. If you need anything in the future, you can contact me through this tree,” Tree Spirit said.
Angel also came out of the corridor, observing the flourishing tree shedding leaves in the wind, and then looked around at the vast expanse of scattered stones and desolate terrain…
It seemed completely out of place.
Tree Spirit seemed to notice the discordance between the tree and its surroundings and gave an embarrassed smile: “I’ll change it.”
Angel shook his head: “No need, just a little concealment will do.”
As soon as Angel finished speaking, a faint light flickered in his eyes. The next second, Tree Standing in the wasteland transformed into a short, withered stump.
This was a special Nightmare Illusion spell, not only concealing the tree but also covering the entrance to the ruins. Most importantly, it blocked most energy detections, making it hard to detect even for a true knowledge wizard without careful investigation.
Once assured that the illusion had concealed the tree, Tree Spirit nodded to Angel and slowly blended into the air, disappearing from sight.
Angel then turned back and entered the dark and eerie ruins.
