Chapter 78 The Lost City
The crack was much deeper than it looked on the surface. After a long time, many Pamir students finally reached the bottom.
Anvis dispersed the magic power that protected his hair, and with a gesture, he habitually added a low-level dark vision to himself, and looked around calmly.
Due to lack of experience, many students changed their hairstyles due to the strong wind blowing out of the crack, which made them look very elegant and free.
At the bottom of the crack, there was a huge dark space, and many places showed obvious signs of opening up.
As far as the front line could see, a huge black shadow stretched across the depths of the space, dull and depressing.
When everyone landed, Nancy waved gently.
The ball of light suspended above her head flew high into the sky, and then emitted a dazzling white light like the sun.
The surrounding darkness reluctantly retreated under the pressure of this light. The ruins of the ancient city that had been sleeping in the darkness for countless years, like a prehistoric cold and dark monster, finally revealed a corner of collapse in front of everyone.
The statues engraved with eulogies were eroded over the years, and the beautiful towers turned into ruins piled with rocks. The magnificent buildings and gardens are full of signs of collapse and destruction, with only broken walls and ruins standing stubbornly.
Today, the light from millions of years later once again illuminates this once prosperous lost city.
"This is a new discovery by the explorers of the academy, the remains of a high elf city abandoned after a war in ancient times.
The explorers have simply cleaned up the place, and there is basically no danger."
"But I hope you remember one thing."
As she spoke, the young girl mentor holding the magic book turned her head, and the black eyes behind the lenses stared at everyone seriously.
"The most deadly factor in the ruins is not any trap or danger, but comes from one's own carelessness!"
After speaking, Nancy took the lead and led everyone along the open main city gate and slowly entered the ruins of the city.
"Pay attention to the streamlined lines and inscriptions on the buildings, as well as the carved decorative structures and towering domes. This is a very typical style of the early and middle Golden Age.
At that time, the main living area of the high elves was not the Sky City..."
While walking along the central avenue, Nancy released marking magic, focusing on the parts of the ruins that need to be noted and remembered, which can best reflect the typical characteristics of the high elves' style.
The high elves lived in the ancient golden age millions of years ago and were one of the rulers of the ancient continent.
Every ordinary high elf can naturally reach the fourth level when he reaches adulthood.
This sounds like it cannot be compared with the various legendary races that were rampant on the continent at that time, such as dragons and Titans that can automatically reach the seventh level after adulthood.
But the real strength of the high elves lies in their unparalleled magic talent and magic affinity.
As the darlings of magic, their research on magic power can be said to have reached the pinnacle.
They created and controlled one terrifying super-level magic after another, and developed an extremely brilliant and splendid magic civilization in the era when legendary creatures were rampant on the continent.
The supreme magic creation, the Sky City, was created by the high elves.

….….
"Do you see the inscription lines on those buildings? You can get closer, observe carefully, look at the details, touch the surface, knock a piece to analyze its material, use mental power to detect its magic properties, etc.
Don't worry about damaging them, this is the process of learning. Use any method you have mastered to study their characteristics as much as possible..."
"Boom-crash-"
It seems that the arrival of the crowd has destroyed some fragile balance. Before Nancy finished speaking, a building on the side of the road collapsed.
Many students hurriedly dodged the rolling dust, and the scene suddenly seemed a little chaotic.
"Be careful, these ancient buildings are already very fragile. If you are not careful, they may collapse. Be sure to pay attention to your own safety when exploring!"
Glancing at the smoke and dust stirred up by the collapse of the ruins, Nancy reminded the startled crowd seriously, and at the same time opened the heavy book in her hand.
A circle of pale yellow magic waves swept over, and under the effect of ground magic, the rising dust cloud quickly settled and fell to the ground.
This episode passed quickly. After casting a protective spell on themselves, the formations of many students began to disperse slightly, and each observed the unique features of these ancient buildings.
In the crowd, by checking the wall, Avis seemed to approach the blonde half-elf girl who was behind at the end of the team unintentionally.
She was carefully observing the inscription on a carving. The soft light of the candlelight magic reflected on her fair and crystal profile. Under the cover of her golden long hair, a cute pointed ear was looming.
Although many students are still gathered together now, she always keeps some distance from the people around her, as if deliberately isolating herself.
Avis was now 80% sure that this girl was the second target he was looking for.
Noticing the boy approaching, the girl moved two steps to the side without leaving a trace.
She was a little speechless, but Avis also realized that it was still not a good time to talk to Claire.
So, he pretended to have just noticed the girl, showed a simple and harmless smile, and nodded to her in a friendly manner.
The girl was slightly stunned, and her slender hand instinctively pushed down her drooping golden hair and put it behind her pointed ears. A somewhat uneasy expression appeared on her soft and delicate cheeks.
After a moment of silence, she smiled at Anvis, also slightly unfamiliar.
As if he didn't notice the girl's unnatural expression, after giving her a smile, Anvis walked aside very naturally and continued to inspect the decorative patterns on the dilapidated wall...
Seeing the young man with light blond hair turning around and leaving, the girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But what she failed to see was the strange color flashing under Avis's pale silver monocle.
After about half a magic hour passed, the group arrived at the central square of the ruins.
A huge artistic complex stands behind the square. It is a gray-white building that looks like a palace or a temple.
Even though the long years have made the surface of the palace rock dilapidated, it still cannot conceal its former majesty.
Behind several magnificent stone columns, the ancient bronze door has been opened, and there are obvious signs that many people have entered at the door.
Due to the exhaustion of magic power, the huge and beautiful magic spring located directly in front of the building has dried up long ago.
Originally suspended in mid-air, there were two heavy light silver multi-layered fountains, one large and one small. At this time, it had fallen crookedly into the stone fountain pool, causing a huge crack in the bottom of the pool.
It is not difficult to imagine how magnificent this fountain was when it was originally full of magic.
After gathering many students in the square, the silver-haired girl instructor stood in front of the dilapidated fountain, facing the many students gathered together, and spoke calmly.
