Suhlen's body was already tall, and with Hathaway's support, the attacks launched by the surrounding Purple Tulips didn't pose too much of a threat to the two.
Suhlen brandished his sword and kept cutting off the branches and leaves of the Purple Tulips. After being attacked, the attacks of the Purple Tulips weakened a lot. Hathaway took out a small pouch and grabbed some powder from it. She chanted some incantation and scattered the powder. The Purple Tulips that were still attacking the two suddenly slowed down.
After a while, the attacks completely disappeared. The surrounding Purple Tulips were like drunkards, swaying and not moving.
"What is this?" Suhlen's eyes lit up.
"This is Hypnotic Powder. Alright, let's leave quickly. Plants have a high resistance to Hypnosis. They will wake up soon," Hathaway urged.
Suhlen nodded, then pulled Hathaway and quickly walked towards the depths of the sea of flowers. Along the way, Hathaway kept sprinkling Hypnotic Powder on the surrounding Purple Tulips. Soon, the two passed through the sea of flowers.
Behind the sea of flowers were some buildings that had been severely weathered. These buildings should have been heavily damaged. There were still some traces left on the ruins. Suhlen found some wrinkles on the wall nearby. Suhlen went over to take a look, but there was nothing special. It should be just an ordinary spatial wrinkle.
After arriving here, the two didn't rush forward. Instead, they first searched the ruins. They didn't know if it was because the destruction was too thorough, but there was nothing valuable here.
After finding nothing, the two began to enter the depths of the ruins. After arriving here, Suhlen clearly felt that the space here was a bit strange. There was a strange membrane separating them from the outside world.
After entering the secret realm, there were a lot more buildings inside, and many of them were relatively well-preserved.
"Be careful."
"Although it seems that no one has been here for a long time, some Runic Magic Circles are still operating normally. Don't touch their defense mechanism," Hathaway said after observing for a while.
Suhlen nodded gently, then asked, "Hathaway, can you tell what period this secret realm is from?"
"Looking at the style of these buildings, some of them seem to be from the later period of the Arcane Kingdom. However, the secret realms of the later period of the Arcane Kingdom are generally based on half-bitwalls or artificial bitwalls. Secret realms like this that fold space directly are rarely used."
"The difficulty of building a secret realm that uses this kind of space folding technology is much lower, and the value inside will be much lower, so you have to be mentally prepared."
"But it's not without benefits. If the level of the ruins is low, the level of danger inside will naturally be low. Even if we find those secret realms made by semi-planes or even planes, we can only look at them. Secret realms of that level are very dangerous."
"Hathaway, do you know how to use the space folding technology? How about we also build a secret realm in North Town? "Suhlen looked at the secret realm in front of him and said.
"The technology of creating a secret realm has been lost. Maybe some large wizard schools still have it. Our school doesn't have the information about the construction of a secret realm. Moreover, it costs an astronomical amount of money and resources to build a secret realm." Hathaway shook her head and said.
"Then see if you can try to control this secret realm. This secret realm doesn't look small, and the degree of damage isn't too high. It would be better if it can be repaired."
"I'll try." Hathaway looked at the secret realm. She was also very interested in it.
Suhlen looked around, then walked to a relatively intact building not far away. The materials used in these buildings looked very ordinary, but after so many years, they were still not completely damaged. It was obvious that the hardening spell had been cast on them.
Suhlen gently pushed the door open. A huge cloud of dust flew into the air. He quickly took a step back and summoned a Wind Elemental to sweep the dust away.
The house was empty. Aside from a pile of decaying furniture, there was nothing else. There were no monsters or corpses inside, either. Just as Su Lun was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly seemed to have discovered something. He went directly to one of the walls, reached out, and gently knocked on it a few times. A hollow sound came from the wall.
"There's something in there!" Su Lun's eyes lit up. He immediately picked up the long sword and stabbed it into the wall. Then with a gentle stroke, the wall was pried open. There was a hole in the wall, and there was a small locked box in it.
Suhlen picked up the box and looked at it. He then signaled Hathaway to step back while he took out a wire to pry open the lock. Suhlen had done this kind of job many times before. After all, he often went over walls to pry open locks. He talked about life with the noble ladies and young ladies and imparted his knowledge to them. His lockpicking skills had long been practiced to first-class. Some of the old thieves were not as good as him.
Not only was he good at picking locks, but he was also very good at picking the heart locks of the noble ladies and young ladies. He used to be the guardian knight of several young ladies.
"It's locked. Let me open it," Suhlen said confidently.
"Kacha! Kacha!" After a while …
Suhlen fiddled with the wire back and forth in the lock cylinder, but the lock could not be opened. Suhlen felt a thin layer of sweat on his head.
What's going on? Are the locks of the Arcane Empire so powerful?
"Kacha!"
There was a soft sound. The lock on the box had been broken by Suhlen. It turned out that this kind of thing had been stored for thousands of years, and the internal structure had long rusted away. Suhlen inadvertently used too much force and broke the lock directly.
After opening the box, Suhlen did not open it immediately. This kind of box was generally set with a magic trap. Once it was opened, it would suddenly spray out effects such as strong acid, crossbow arrows, lightning, poisonous smoke, and so on.
This kind of trap was impossible to guard against, so it was not wrong to be cautious. He put the box on the ground and carefully opened it. Suhlen's body tensed up, and he was ready to dodge at any time without triggering any mechanism. Just as Suhlen was about to relax, a flash of light came, followed by an acid arrow that was not as thick as a finger. Suhlen's body flashed and he easily dodged it.
The acid arrow flew less than 20 centimeters and fell to the ground weakly. A normal acid arrow was more than ten times stronger than this one, and it could fly very far. However, considering that this trap had been there for so long, it could still be activated. This in itself showed that the person who set the trap was very skilled.
After dodging the acid arrow, Suhlen picked up the box. There was not much in the box, only a few colorful gems. There was a ruby and a sapphire that were the size of a pigeon's egg and of good quality. There was also a crystal bottle beside it, but the liquid in the bottle had long dried up, leaving only some brown powder at the bottom.
"Here you go."
Suhlen handed the ruby and sapphire to Hathaway. Hathaway reached out and took the gems. Her beautiful big eyes were smiling like crescent moons. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the gems clean, then put them away with a smile. Sure enough, women were like dragons, unable to resist the temptation of these shiny gems.
With the first building's façade already having such a harvest, the two's interest in treasure hunting was even higher. Following that, the dozen or so buildings that were still intact were all swept clean. Even the walls and floors were searched, but their harvest was not much. They only found a well-preserved Magic Scroll in one of the rooms.
There were five hexagram symbols on the left side of this magic scroll, indicating that this magic scroll recorded a level 5 spell. A level 5 spell was still very valuable. If bought from a wizard, it would cost about 300 to 500 Kinnar.
He handed the magic scroll to Hathaway. Hathaway opened the scroll and looked at it, but after a few glances, Hathaway frowned. There were many runes on this level 5 spell that she had never seen before, and the runes on it were even more complicated than a level 6 spell.
Although she did not recognize this magic scroll, it did not mean that she could not learn it. As long as she learned these new runes and released them, she would be able to master this spell. The only problem was that it would be more difficult to learn.
After harvesting two gems and a level 5 spell scroll, Suhlen and Selina left the ruins of the building and continued to go deeper into the secret realm. Soon, the two arrived near a farmland. At this time, the farmland had long been deserted, and only some plants grew sporadically in some places.
After getting closer, Hathaway's eyes lit up. She immediately recognized that these were all magical plants. However, there was a layer of runic circle outside the farmland.
Seeing this situation, Suhlen and Hathaway directly used brute force to break it. Fortunately, the runic circle had not been maintained for a long time, and its power had dropped to the extreme. Hathaway hit it with a fireball, and the runic circle kept flickering. After a few consecutive fireballs, finally, with a soft sound, the runic circle flickered a few times and dimmed completely.
Without the runic circle, Suhlen and Selina entered the farmland. This farmland should have been used to grow all kinds of magical plants. Later, maybe because of war or other reasons, all the magical plants here were harvested.
Those magical plants that were still growing now should be the seeds that accidentally fell during the harvest. These seeds later took root and grew in the farmland.
The farmland in front of them covered a vast area of hundreds of acres. Some magical plants grew sporadically in it. Suhlen and Hathaway did not continue to explore the ruins and left to harvest these magical plants.
Although there were not many of these magical plants, their quality was very high. They had been growing for at least a few hundred years. Many of them were even almost extinct now.
