"Wow …" Following the direction Millennium Immutable was pointing at, the group arrived in front of a very exaggerated bluish-black door after a short walk. This door was a little too exaggerated because it was a little too tall. They couldn't see where the top of the door was even if they stood below and looked up. This kind of door was definitely not something that could be opened by humans. Both of the door panels were made of very strange bluish-black rocks. Upon closer inspection, the bluish-black rocks seemed to have a little bit of something that looked like golden sand. It was very beautiful, and the rock's hardness was also very amazing. It didn't even react when they slashed it a few times.
Just as Millennium Constancy said, this place was very strange. The color was strange, and this was clearly a very old ruin. However, this door didn't look old at all from the outside. Not to mention dust, even ordinary vines and moss didn't seem to be able to grow on this door. The whole door looked brand new.
"Hmm …" Looking at this big door panel, Li Huailin thought for a moment.
"Hey, hey, what are you thinking about? Can't you hurry up? Look over here …" The Jade Emperor Summoner was healing while being attacked by invisible monsters. The number of invisible monsters seemed to have increased, but because they couldn't see, they didn't know how many of them were nearby. However, there were definitely more than two of them. Now, it was a little difficult for the two Healers to heal, mainly because the Healers' casting would be interrupted.
"I'm looking at this groove. Don't you think that this kind of thing in the game is … "Li Huailin pointed to a rectangular groove on the door and said.
"That's the mechanism to open the door." Suddenly, a voice interrupted and answered.
"Yes, yes …" Li Huailin nodded, but after nodding, he suddenly felt a little strange. He had never heard the voice that answered him before.
"Who answered me just now?" Li Huailin looked at the four strangely and asked.
The four of them looked at each other, and they didn't seem to have spoken.
"It's me, over here." The voice said again.
Looking in the direction of the voice, the five of them immediately revealed the same shocked expression.
At the corner of the door, there was a human head on the ground. Because of the surrounding bushes, they couldn't see it clearly. Now that they took a closer look, they realized that the person was still alive and was even chatting with Li Huailin. This head belonged to a male NPC who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He wore a Warrior's helmet and had a yellowish-brown beard on his face. His appearance was somewhat sloppy and dirty, but he still looked very spirited. The NPC's head displayed his name, Mano.
"There's actually a person here?" The five people here didn't notice the head on the side of the road and were shocked for a long time.
"Why was this guy buried in the ground?" Millennium Unchanged asked curiously.
"Me?" Ma Nuo was taken aback. "When did I get buried in the ground?"
"Hey, hey, aren't you a bit too naive?" Jade Emperor Summoner said as he walked over and pulled Ma Nuo's head. He then said to the people behind him, "What are you looking at? No matter what this NPC is for, let's get this guy out first before …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Jade Emperor Summoner suddenly fell backwards. Under everyone's shocked gaze, Jade Emperor Summoner pulled the head out of the ground and was still holding it in his hands.
"Ah!" Jade Emperor Summoner was shocked when he realized what had happened. He immediately threw the head to the side.
"Damn, he just pulled someone's head off while he was still alive …" Millennium Unchanged said as he pointed at Jade Emperor Summoner.
"Hey, hey, this has nothing to do with me. I didn't even use any strength." Jade Emperor Summoner panicked, but he really didn't use any strength.
"I have the strength to pick up mountains, and I have the strength to conquer the world …" Li Huailin said as he shook his head.
"What kind of stupid poem are you reciting? Do you believe that I won't twist your head off too?" Jade Emperor Summoner said immediately.
"I do …" Li Huailin nodded firmly. "We've all seen it. I'm panicking now."
"I …" Jade Emperor Summoner held his forehead. "I really didn't use any strength …"
"Yeah, yeah, little girl really didn't use any strength. But you can't just throw me around like that," another voice suddenly said.
The five of them turned around in a daze and looked at the head that had been thrown away by the Jade Emperor. It was now talking to a few people very calmly.
"Oh my god, the head is talking!" Jade Emperor Summoner couldn't help but shout.
"Summon, calm down, calm down. Look at the heads you're throwing around. You're still so calm. Don't shout randomly," Li Huailin said as he pulled the Jade Emperor Summon back.
"What do you mean by being thrown around by me? And how can you be calm? A head is talking to us," Jade Emperor Summoner said.
"Yeah, we saw it." Li Huailin nodded. "Come to think of it, it doesn't seem that strange."
"That's true." Feng Yiliu nodded too.
"Is that so …" Jade Emperor Summoner said after some thought.
"Yeah, it's not strange at all," Ma Nuo said from the ground.
"Asshole, you have no right to say that!" Jade Emperor Summoner roared.
"Anyway …" Li Huailin said as he picked up Ma Nuo's head from the ground. He lifted it up and looked at it. Ma Nuo was indeed a human head. There was an obvious cut on the neck from a sharp weapon. Even half of the spine could be seen. However, Ma Nuo wasn't dead. She could even talk normally.
"Can you not look at me like that? It's making me feel weird," Ma Nuo said embarrassedly when she saw Li Huailin looking at her.
"You're weird enough, okay?" Jade Emperor Summoner said. "Who are you? Why are you still alive when you only have a head?"
"My name is Ma Nuo. As you can see, I am a human." Ma Nuo thought for a moment. "But I don't think I can introduce myself as a human. Should I say, 'Hello everyone, I am a human head?' Hahaha, that sounds interesting. "
"Help! I can't handle four idiotic teammates anymore. Why did the number of idiots increase again …" Jade Emperor Summoner said while holding his forehead.
"Anyway, why are you here?" Li Huailin asked.
"Me? I can't really remember, but I remember that I came to this Hargeta Ruins to explore, but then … I don't know what happened, but when I woke up, I became like this. As you can see, I can't move at all. You're the first Adventurer team I've seen, "Ma Nuo said.
"Hargeta Ruins?" Jade Emperor Summoner said. "Is that the name of this place?"
"Yeah, I remember these things very clearly because I did some research before the expedition. This place, which is what you see behind the gate, used to be the capital city of an empire called Tulcea – Hargeta. Legend has it that this is an empire that existed more than 1300 years ago. Also, note that this empire is an empire that was founded by the legendary Titans. "Mano explained vividly.
"Titan?" The summoning Jade Emperor was stunned. "Giants?"
"Of course, this is a legendary creature. It is said that in ancient times, the Titans once ruled the continent. That was before humans were born, but there is no substantial evidence to prove that the Titans really existed. Most humans regard them as a legend, but the discovery of the Hargeta ruins is enough to prove that the Titans once existed," Mano said excitedly. "That's right. That's right. I think the Titans once existed."
"Oh … so it is related to them …" Li Huailin naturally knew the existence of the Titans. Wasn't the one in the Tower of Trials a Titan? However, he remembered that he couldn't tell anyone about the Tower of Trials, so Li Huailin just listened and didn't say much.
"Anyway, you came here to explore, and someone turned you into a human head?" Jade Emperor Summoner wasn't interested in the Titans, so he crossed his arms and said.
"This … I don't remember this part. I only remember that I stopped a small team from coming here, and then … then I can't explain it clearly," Ma Nuo said.
"Is there only one entrance to the Hargeta Kingdom?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, I have explored this place. There is only one entrance, but as you can see, the door is closed," Ma Nuo said. "But I have studied the groove that you saw just now. It is definitely the mechanism to open the door."
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded, then looked at the rectangular groove on the door again. "But what should I put in it?"
"Actually, I have found it," Ma Nuo suddenly said.
"Huh?" The people around him were stunned.
"I found half of it …" Ma Nuo said embarrassedly.
"Half?" Millennium Unchanged asked curiously.
"Yes, in fact, the mechanism needs a stone tablet to open. In fact, I have found half of the stone tablet, but because it is only half, I can't open it," Ma Nuo said.
"What kind of stone tablet is it?" Millennium Unchanged asked.
"Oh, a black stone tablet, the size of this groove. There are many ancient Titan words drawn on it …" Ma Nuo said as she saw Li Huailin take out half of the stone tablet from his bag. "Yes, yes, yes, it looks like the stone tablet … Huh? Why do you have this stone tablet? "
"Huh?" The remaining four people looked at Li Huailin in surprise.
