Chapter 1926 Searching Again
Sanders's inference, although it combines the two guesses of the tree spirit, is more convincing than the unilateral conclusion.
Because it is now confirmed that this knight armor must have appeared in the ruins within the past hundred years, so the person who brought it in must have taken a hidden passage that no one knows about. Otherwise, if he came in from the main entrance, he would definitely trigger the seal.
Since there is a hidden passage in this ruins, it is not surprising that there are hidden rooms.
The tree spirit pondered for a moment and looked at Sanders: "I agree with your inference. However, the biggest question now is, where is this hidden passage that can lead to the outside world?"
"Hidden passage, you can try to find it later." The speaker was Rhine. When the ruins were sealed hundreds of years ago, he was also pulled by the tree spirit to find the so-called hidden room. Because he was skeptical about the hidden room at that time, he did not really look for it seriously. Although it is still unknown whether there is a hidden room this time, it is certain that there must be a hidden passage. Anything that has happened will inevitably leave traces. It will be much easier to search with this established fact than to search blindly.
Rhine paused: "Let's put the hidden passage aside for now. I am more curious about who this outsider who entered the ruins within a hundred years will be?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the owner of this ruins." Angel said the answer in everyone's mind.
The tree spirit nodded: "Only the owner of the ruins, or someone who has a relationship with the owner of the ruins, can know the hidden passage."
As far as they know, there are only two owners of this ruins, one is the unknown creator of the ruins, and the other is Tizarro.
According to Angel's idea, it should not be Tizarro, he is more inclined to the first owner of the ruins.
Tizarro is Du Martin's mentor and left the South Region very early. Moreover, according to Tizarro's notes, although he inferred that there is a hidden room in the ruins through some details, he did not seem to find the location of this hidden room in the end.
The first owner of the ruins created the ruins, and the hidden passage was naturally designed by him, so he knew the hidden passage, and it was reasonable for him to enter the ruins through the hidden passage.
Another very important information is the alchemy pattern on the knight's armor.
Although they don't know the information of the first owner of the ruins, from the layout of the rooms in the ruins and the arrangement of various precision instruments in the laboratory, it can be seen that he is an alchemist.
Since he is an alchemist, the alchemy pattern on the knight's armor may be painted by him.
Angell told his analysis, and the tree spirit also agreed: "Indeed, the one who brought the knight's armor in is most likely the first owner of the ruins."
"In this way, we are outsiders. After all, the ruins were created by him." Angel shook his head and sighed.
"That's not the case. If it was really the first owner who came back, he would have discovered traces of Tizarro in the ruins, and he would have noticed that the ruins had been sealed. He didn't care at all, nor did he touch the sealed restrictions, let alone add any mechanisms here... In my opinion, there is only one possibility." The tree spirit spread his hands and shrugged, "He doesn't care about this alchemy laboratory. It can even be said that he has given up on this place."
What the tree spirit said makes sense. Just like many wizards often leave laboratories in various places, these laboratories are temporary. Leaving is basically equivalent to giving up, and they don't care who enters later. But even so, there is still one thing that doesn't make sense... "Then why did he come back?"
"Who knows, maybe he just passed by and came in to take a look."
"No matter what he thinks, at least this information is confirmed now." Rhine interrupted their conversation at this time: "Irrelevant speculation can be put aside for the time being. It's just right that I will take a closer look at this ruins while the stargazing day is not over."
Rhine said this, meaning that he would carefully inspect the ruins this time.
The tree spirit and Sanders both agreed to re-examine the ruins. Although this matter was not a big deal in their eyes, they were idle anyway, so they might as well find something to do.
Then it was time to search.
However, what they called searching was not to search every corner with a lantern. They still gathered in the study, but Rhine closed his eyes and released the Eye of Truth to patrol every corner of the ruins; Sanders released several magic falcons as an extension of his sight to look for abnormalities in the ruins. Angel also turned his mental power into tentacles and entered various parts of the ruins.
As for the tree spirit... he did nothing. After all, he was just a spirit clone and could not do anything.
Although the tree spirit did nothing, he never stopped chattering from beginning to end.
At first, he was still analyzing the various strange things in the ruins and guessing the identity of the first alchemist. But later, when the analysis was almost done and he could not find anything to say, he began to complain as usual.
As for the content of the complaints, it was naturally about the venue of the tea party.
Since Rhine was here, the tree spirit complained even more, and in order to highlight its own pity, it kept playing the victim.
It kept talking about topics such as "Lianna is making trouble unreasonably", "I will be seriously injured if I open up the inner space", "If I really open up the inner space, some witches may plot against the life pool".
Perhaps because he was annoyed by the tree spirit, although Rhine still closed his eyes and manipulated the Eye of Truth, he still replied: "Don't worry about opening up the internal space. I will personally sit in the Life Pool during the tea party and will not let any outsiders enter it."
When the tree spirit heard that Rhine was still on Lianna's side, he said anxiously: "You can sit in the Life Pool, but forget about opening up the internal space. You know that if I open up the internal space, I will suffer a lot of backlash."
Speaking of backlash, Rhine paused for a moment, because what the tree spirit said was right. Opening up a space at the core of the tree to accommodate many people will definitely have backlash, but...
"There is indeed backlash, but with the magnitude of the Eternal Tree, it can still withstand it. At most, it will take one or two years to recuperate."
One or two years is simply not enough for the Eternal Tree, whose lifespan is measured in tens of thousands of years.
"Even if it's only one or two years, it's still very precious time. If the mirror world is attacked during this period, the consequences will be very serious." The tree spirit is still arguing.
"You can only deceive other wizards with this." Rhine still closed his eyes and said softly: "It's just one or two years of training. It won't damage your combat power in the slightest. Even if you are attacked, we will be there to support you."
Tree Spirit: "But..."
"Don't say but. It's worthwhile to exchange one or two years of training for a grand event in the wizarding world. And you also know that the organizers of each tea party have some hidden rights. As long as they are used well, a lot of information can be collected through this event, which will only benefit the Savage Cave."
Rhine certainly knew how unhappy the tree spirit was, but the tea party was very important to the Savage Cave. It was not only to show strength, but also to gain a lot of benefits.
"Besides, if you really don't want to open up the internal space, you have to find an alternative place. You also know that our Savage Cave is in a barren plateau, and the only thing we can show is the mirror world."
"And the mirror world has the best quality, the most powerful magic, and everyone's movements can be controlled. Only the Eternal Tree."
