"Master Hill, is this action too hasty?"

In a team heading to the underground ruins, a burly man asked a little awkwardly to the black-robed man behind him: "The time left for us to initiate a riot is too short. If the action fails, We don’t even have any way out..."

"Huh? Are you questioning my decision?"

The black-robed man's face was vague, and there was a hint of danger in his gloomy and hoarse voice.

"Subordinates dare not!!"

The brawny man seemed to be under some irresistible pressure. He stopped and lowered his head deeply towards the black-robed man. "The subordinate dare not question any decision of the master..."

"Huh! Don't dare to do it!!"

The black-robed man's footsteps did not stop at all, "As long as I can enter the ruins and activate the'Inheritance Array' in it, all problems will be fine!!"

As he said, the black-robed man grabbed a handful of shimmering dust from his pocket, and a slurred curse rang out from his mouth, "As... Baranong..."

Accompanied by the sound of the curse, the flashing dust in the hands of the black-robed men suddenly hovered, wrapping around the weapons of the soldiers in the team.

For a while, the position of the entire team was radiant, and the darkness in the passage was swept away.

The black-robed man nodded in satisfaction and ordered: "Speed up!"

The soldiers showed fanatical expressions, and the speed of the team's advancement suddenly more than doubled.

In the other team heading to the ruins, Leo was among them.

"Leo! My child, how did you know that there is such a secret passage under the City Lord's Mansion? Is there anything else I don't know?"

The city lord of Carter City has a sullen look. As the lord of a city, he actually doesn't know that there is a secret tunnel hidden under his residence.

Leo quickly explained: "My father, do you remember that my brother and I often played in the back garden when we were young? It was at that time that I discovered the entrance to the secret path... Then I entered the temple to practice, and the bishop asked Strictly I keep this secret, as a last resort, I don’t allow it to be revealed to anyone..."

"Huh! Temple? Bishop?" The city lord sneered and mocked: "Ha ha ha... Leo, if it weren't for chasing down the man behind the riot, would you, a loyal paladin, still conceal secret things? You really are my good son!!!"

Leo was silent about this.

The conversation between City Lord Carter and Leo revealed his identity. He is the second son of the City Lord and the chief paladin of the temple. The reason why he lived in the civilian area of the old city was because Leo needed a period of "pencers" to break through his current realm.

In the underground ruins, Victor, who is at the central node of the "Inheritance Array", has made up his mind to activate the Array. Because he knew that he was in desperate need of strength and he didn't have the right to pick and choose, no matter what kind of advanced mage profession it was, it was extremely important to him!

"In that case, let's start..."

Victor closed his eyes when his emotions recovered, and tried to empty his brain into a state of emptiness and meditation.

After little effort, the "Inheritance Altar" in the underground ruins suddenly burst out with powerful magical powers, and the "Inheritance Ritual" has begun...

The dark blue magic power turned into countless small electric arcs, jumping around near the "Inheritance Altar", and the space where the underground ruins were located almost turned into a sea of thunder and lightning! And Victor's body also showed a strange brilliance, and the whole person automatically hovered above the magic circle.

Rows of data crazily surfaced in Victor's mind:

"The inheritance ceremony has begun..."

"In the process of absorbing magic power... The circle is operating normally..."

"The professional template is officially opened! The data collection module is overloaded..."

"Simultaneous import of advanced career information..."

"Data reception completed... analysis started..."

"Data processing is complete!"

"Obtained an advanced career as a mage-'Truth Seeker'."

The huge data stream flooded into Victor's mind like a tsunami. If it weren't for the existence of Ultrain in his soul, I'm afraid his head would have been burst long ago! But now Victor barely accepted everything and completed the entire "inheritance ceremony" relatively smoothly.

When the ceremony ended, Victor felt that his body was full of unprecedented power! This gave him an illusion that he could distort the space with a wave of the Buddha himself...

"The power gained out of thin air is not so easy to grasp..."

Victor suppressed the feeling of ruining the world with his hands up, trying his best to restrain his mind! After a while, the madness in his eyes gradually faded, and a clearness was restored.

"It's so hanging! If I didn't suppress this madness, I would definitely become a puppet, and then self-destruct..."

Victor, who had received the inheritance, wiped his sweaty forehead with lingering fear.

At this moment, an illusory, old-faced figure appeared in the magic circle that had already consumed the magic power.

"Lucky little guy, I'm glad you passed the test and got the inheritance of me, the legendary mage Mellon Sistir..."

"As a pioneer, I need to warn you..."

"For a true mage, the power he has is nothing but a tool to search for the truth..."

"How was the world born?"

"What is the origin of life?"

"What is the nature of magic?"

"Why do you need mental power to cast spells?"

"What is mental power?"

"What is the material basis of this world?"

"What is the soul?"

"Why are there day and night? Why do they alternate?"

"What is time? Is it a substance? Or is it something illusory?"

"What is space? How is it constructed?"

"..."

"The path of the mage is full of thorns! Only by firming up your beliefs can you use the power of magic to explore, discover, and create..."

"In the secret grid below the circle, I left some gadgets, which may help you..."

"Latecomers, you must remember: for the vast sea of truth, exploration is the eternal theme!!"

When Victor heard the message left by the legendary mage Mellon, he felt an unspeakable shock in his heart!

Since the journey, when Victor discovered that this is a game world, he has had some questions, why does the game world become a reality? Does this world have some connection with the world before? However, for various reasons, he quickly left these questions behind...

And now, when Victor heard this series of shocking questions, he immediately realized it... It was not the temptation of the devil, nor the pity of the gods, but to lift the fog of the soul and point to the original heart. Ming Wu! !

Victor couldn’t wait to start researching these issues right away. With the scientific education received in the previous life, the knowledge he learned, and the "encyclopedia" in the information storage module, he believed that he would be in this fantasy world. China has opened up a new path of exploration.
