Compared to the bustling hall of the obelisk, the entire third excavation zone seemed even more deserted, with not many people around.
The gravel on the upper layer of the zone had been cleared away, and not far away, a high wall that had been cracked by the sun and eroded by the sandstorm was particularly eye-catching.
Inside the high wall were many half-excavated tombs, and there were also decomposed skeletons scattered everywhere.
There was a frightening silence in the burial zone, and the clanking sounds of the cart that carried Elwyn was particularly ear-piercing.
"The resting place of the dead should not be disturbed by the living."
This thought popped into Elwyn's mind as he got off the cart.
In fact, apart from him, Elwyn did not see any other crew members who were supposed to stay behind in the film zone.
There should have been a excavation team of about twenty people working here, as well as the Wizards from the Ministry of Magic who were preventing adventurers from entering.
But now, Elwyn did not see a single person.
He gave up after shouting a few times. Perhaps there was something new, and those fellows had already gone over.
Following the path that Lavier had told him this morning, Elwyn walked towards his destination.
This was a very inconspicuous tomb, or rather, just a grave pit.
It was very small, and insignificant compared to the secrets hidden beneath it. There were no murals on the walls of the tomb, much less the extravagant decorations. There were only some words carved deeply into the rocks using sharp tools.
Although it was hard to read, Elwyn still found many words that represented the god Horus.
It was obvious that the owner of the tomb had once had an important relationship with this god.
Just like the information that Lavier had found, the owner of this tomb might have been a priest or fanatic of the god Horus. The secret passage beneath the tomb had also been excavated privately, and was not originally part of the plans of the Sun Relic.
The secret passage was where the coffin had originally been, which was also the center of the tomb.
It was a yellow granite coffin. Although the remains and funerary objects had been removed, Elwyn had an indescribable strange feeling when he climbed in.
Speaking of which, he had climbed into the coffin of the dead twice in the past half a year!
Previously, to enter the secret passageway beneath the Vampire Castle, they had to enter through the coffin. This time, it was the same.
This was not a good sign. Why did the ancients always like to build secret passages in coffins …
The secret passage curved downwards, and the slope was steep. It was supported by a few simple and crude stone pillars. Many skeletons and Sacred Beetles could be seen drilling out from the cracks. It could be seen that a few places in the middle had collapsed and had just been cleaned up not long ago.
Even though this secret passage had been repaired, it was still difficult to traverse.
Elwyn struggled to move forward for about half an hour. The yellowish walls around him had turned into green rocks.
This was the rock of the main building of the Sun Ruins, indicating that he had entered the interior of the ruins.
What caught his attention was the change in the surrounding scenery. At first, he saw the cracked rock wall. Like the other parts of the Sun Ruins, it had begun to lose its splendor over time, but as he walked forward, the color of the wall changed, as if it was newly built. There were also exquisite lavender curtains and tapestries hanging from it.
On some of the pillars, there were decorations of unknown significance that he had never seen before.
These decorations were only illusions. When Elwyn touched them, his right hand went straight through and touched the rough rock wall behind him.
He stopped and looked at the constantly changing illusions in front of him. He knew that this was time chaos …
Time was at work in this area, causing the surrounding walls to change between different timelines, just like the cuckoo bird that Elwyn had seen in the Ministry of Magic. It kept changing from an egg to a bird, and from a bird back to an egg.
This was the power of time magic. It did not cause direct damage, but it could change the time you were in and have an effect.
This unknown effect was far more terrifying than magic damage in the general sense.
He did not know what the time magic item in the secret room was, but this area was already under its influence.
Although the effect was still minimal and could only produce some illusions, it would definitely become more and more powerful as he continued forward.
Elwyn took out his time converter and saw the three needles on it constantly moving back and forth in a small area.
Because the needles did not stop, the time converter did not work and brought him to another point in time.
Elwyn concentrated. He had to be careful in the face of the mysterious and unknown time magic.
In theory, as long as he held the Time Converter, all the time magic that hit him would eventually work on the Time Converter, and eventually bring him to a different timeline. It would not cause any damage, but he still summoned a few stone golems to walk in front of him to explore the way.
The further he went, the stronger the magic effect, and the faster the surrounding scenery and the needles on the time converter changed.
The changing scenery around him became clearer and clearer. It was no longer an illusion, and he could see the exquisite patterns and decorations on the curtains.
Elwyn moved forward more and more slowly. He also cast a few protective spells on himself. After walking forward for about ten minutes, he could already touch the decorations on the wall. They were no longer illusions produced by the time change, but had become real objects.
If these things were touched by others, they would disappear in the blink of an eye.
But because Elwyn had the time converter, as long as the things he got really existed in his hands, those curtains and decorations would break away from the chaotic timeline and come to the present thousands of years later.
Unfortunately, there were only simple decorations here and no other precious items. Otherwise, Elwyn could have gotten very valuable things.
The stone golems in front of him also began to change.
Some of the rocks became darker in color and harder in texture, while others became more fragile, as if they would break at the slightest touch.
This change was rapid and fleeting.
What troubled Elwyn was not the change in the rock material, but his magic lost effectiveness with the change of time. In this area, time changed back and forth for hundreds of thousands of years in the blink of an eye, and his magic naturally would not last that long.
After trying to cast the transformation spell several times and failing in the blink of an eye, Elwyn gave up!
This place was really strange. He stopped to check again, and after confirming that there was no problem with him, he continued to move forward.
Because the scene in the secret passage changed so drastically, Elwyn had a particularly unreal feeling. Imagine the scene, in the blink of an eye, the time in front of him changed by a thousand years, or back to the past, or to the future. One moment it was a beautiful ancient Egyptian temple, the next moment it was an ancient ruin that had been dusty for a thousand years …
In this place, Elwyn clearly felt the power of time.
