Victor and others found a dilapidated ancient book containing important information in the "Historical Chamber", which made the dozen or so wizards in the expedition extremely happy.
Mage apprentice Wilder couldn't understand why he didn't find this "Hall of History Writing" in the previous ruins explorations
With a self-deprecating smile, Wilder, who got new clues from the old books, immediately put this question behind him.
"It seems... it is the right choice to explore the ruins with you this time!"
The high-level mage Rosa, who was speaking to Victor, carefully flipped through the ancient book in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction from time to time.
"To be honest, Lord Rosa."
Victor shrugged, and replied: "It's only now that I have started to become interested in this ruin exploration..."
At this moment, Rosa, who looked through the ancient books, seemed to have found some important information. He said in a hasty tone: "Victor, come and look at the information recorded on this page!"
"Oh? What is written on it?"
Seeing Rosa's cloudy face, Victor took a few steps forward and moved his gaze over the opened book page.
"... Look!
The sages and the palace in heaven,
It turns into a bolide and falls on the earth.
The mountains shake,
The valleys are cracked,
Like wax before the fire,
It’s normal to wash down the slope towards the water,
It's all because of Jacob's transgressions,
The evil of the Edwardian clan.
…
The world suffers disasters,
Plead for the light under the abyss,
Please agree,
The cry of the world in the deep cold of winter,
Please listen to the voice of the world's prayers.
The brilliance of hope in the Lost City,
I want to honor you,
Praise your name forever and ever.
I want to remember your majesty and honor,
And wonderful works.
I want to preach your great virtue,
And sing your righteousness.
…"
A long poem full of profound meaning caught Victor's eyes.
"It's interesting!" Victor's brain started to work quickly. "What is hidden in this text?"
After reading through the entire library in the Tower of Babel, Victor’s memory stored a large amount of historical materials. After a while, he immediately mapped this long poem to a secret period of the Ancient Arcane Empire .
If you want to understand this secret, you have to talk about the foundation of the Nethoril Empire-"The Scroll of Neisser".
According to legend, people at the time did not know who discovered these significant and legendary magical knowledge, but he, she, or them were called "discoverers."
The "Discoverer" found the golden scroll in an ancient ruin. Then, he brought them back to Nesiril and continued to study them.
After more than ten years of specialized research, the "Discoverer" determined that this one-hundred-page golden scroll could actually be divided into two sets, one set for every fifty pages, and one set looked much old and dim.
Afterwards, the "Discoverer" made a major decision. He made these two sets of 100-page golden scrolls public... In just a few decades, every Nesirrel learned from the knowledge of the golden scrolls. The benefits are huge.
In order to commemorate the "Discoverer" and the golden scroll discovered by it, the world calls it the "Neisser's Scroll".
With the discovery of "The Neither Scroll", the Nethoril people began to concentrate on the study of magic, and over the centuries, they achieved brilliant arcane achievements.
Just as the Nethoril people were cheering for the advent of the "Golden Age", a well-known family of mages, the Edward family, planned a shocking robbery. One of the two "Neisser Scrolls" was captured by Jacob Bu Edward took away Neceriel.
The genius Jacob Edwards obtained an unimaginable leap in his own strength through in-depth research and study of the "Neisser Scroll" he had stolen.
Because of his ambition, Jacob led the Edwardian clan to launch a five-hundred-year war against the Kingdom of Nesseril. Countless mages and countless cities in the sky fell in the war.
Jacob Edward, who brought death and blood to the Nesirrels, is called the "king of twilight", because wherever he goes, it is like dusk falls, and everything will wither with his footsteps and fall into eternity. Sleep at night.
The content of the long poem that Victor saw "...this is all because of Jacob's transgressions, the sins of the Edward family...", this should be the description.
Thinking of this, Victor told all his speculations to Rosa, who looked bad.
"Ugh!"
Rosa sighed heavily, "In that case, we are probably going to be annoyed by sex!"
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Victor asked curiously.
"You little guy..."
Rosa gave Victor angrily, "I don't want to say, you don't want to! Since you have known the arrival of the owner of the stone tomb through the long poems recorded in the ancient books, then you still don't know where we are. What exactly is this ruin of?"
"Where?"
Victor frowned, thinking hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"That's right! Since this ruin contains the dolmen of the "Twilight King" Jacob Edward, then it should be the legendary "Lost City"!!"
"Perhaps..." Victor said in a dreamlike tone: "Perhaps we might also find the "Scroll of Neisser" that was stolen by the Edwardian clan... "
"Yes! But..."
Rosa said with some hesitation, "But we will also face a huge crisis! This is a very big trouble..."
"Send someone to pass the information here to several great arcanists!"
Victor thought for a moment, and he said firmly: "I believe that several adults will value this'Lost City'... And before they arrive, our task is to safely guard the entrance to the ruins and keep them safe. What a precious ancient book!"
"Na Victor, what do you mean?"
"We retreat! Retreat to the entrance of the ruins and wait for the arrival of the adults..."
"Okay! Just do what you want!"
After Victor and Rosa had worked together, they had to withdraw to the entrance of the ruins with the expedition team.
"No! I object!"
Wilder yelled emotionally: "Mr. Victor, Lord Rosa! You don't know that if our expedition retreats to the entrance, this ruin may not be opened again..."
"My parents left a note after exploring this ruin."
Wilder took out a thin handwritten note from his backpack, and he said incoherently: "According to my parents' research, the rune array at the entrance to this ruin can be used up to two or three times..."
"I have been here twice... the third time for the expedition... If we go out, we may not be able to come in again..."
After hearing Wilder's words, Victor and Rosa looked at each other.
"What should I do? Give up exploring the ruins? Or continue to take risks?"
