"We're here. This is the place." Tree Spirit and Angor landed on the ground.
Angor looked around. It was a flat land with no end in sight. There were no snow mountains or frozen rivers. It was just an ordinary wasteland.
There was only a thin layer of snow on the ground, which was no thicker than a finger joint. Many places were not covered by snow. Instead, gray rocks were exposed, which made the place look cold and desolate.
"You sensed something, right?" Tree Spirit asked.
Angor nodded. The place was desolate without any man-made structures. However, his sharp senses already picked up a faint spatial ripple when he arrived.
That must be where the ruin was located.
However, there was something special about the ruin. Angor sensed the spatial ripple, but he couldn't find it to open it.
Because it had yet to appear in the world, it was sealed in layers of space cracks. If he wanted to activate the ruin, he had to pinpoint its exact location in the endless cracks.
This wasn't an easy task, just like how they hadn't been able to locate where the demon behind Azaz was hiding.
But since Tree Spirit brought him here, there must be another way to enter the ruin.
As expected, Tree Spirit quickly gave him an answer. "It's not hard to enter the ruin. You just need the key."
The key wasn't a traditional key. It was something related to the ruin.
Tree Spirit took out a leather scroll and handed it to Angor. "This is the key."
Angor took the scroll and saw a line of words written in ancient common language: "Tizaro's Experiment Record No. 117 (First Volume)".
Angor assumed the key was recorded in the scroll, so he was about to check the content. However, right at that moment, he sensed something strange.
In the ruins in front of him, which was emitting spatial fluctuations, there seemed to be something resonating with the leather scroll.
It was like a connection of fate.
With his current ability, Angor could easily follow this connection to locate the specific location of the spatial ripple.
"So this is the key?" Angor realized that the key wasn't recorded in the scroll, but in the scroll itself.
Tree Spirit explained, "The previous owner of this ruin was called Tizaro. He had left the second volume of Experiment Record No. 117 in the ruins. Because the first and second volumes are one, you can sense the location of the second volume by holding the first volume. "
When he sensed the second half of the scroll, the location of the ruins hidden in the space crevice would naturally reveal his coordinates.
"If you can sense the location of the second half of the scroll, you can try to open the relic through the coordinates now," said Tree Spirit.
Angor nodded and closed his eyes. Using the "key" in his hand, he used his spirit power to explore the void. When he sensed an obvious spatial fluctuation, he opened his eyes.
A glowing energy slowly flowed out of his fingertip and into the air. To capture and activate that fleeting spatial fluctuation.
Not long after the glowing energy fused into the void, without making any sound, a large door made of metal appeared in front of them.
Tree Spirit looked at the door carefully and said, "Hmm … This is indeed the entrance to the relic. The seal that was set up back then was not removed. I think nothing has changed inside."
Tree Spirit pushed the door open without hesitation. "Come on, let's go inside."
Behind the door, according to Tree Spirit, was a narrow corridor. But now it was dark inside and nothing could be seen with the naked eye.
"There are candlesticks on the walls that can be lit up. But I don't think that's necessary. "
Tree Spirit began to introduce the ruins to Angor and Angor. But he suddenly stopped talking when he saw Tree Spirit.
Angor looked back and saw Tree Spirit still standing at the entrance with a strange expression.
"What's wrong, Mister Tree Spirit?" Angor looked around the dark corridor. "Is there something wrong with the ruin?"
Tree Spirit cleared his throat. "There's nothing wrong with the ruin. It's just that my real body … someone came looking for me."
"It's Leona," said Tree Spirit before Angor could ask who it was.
"You're here for the tea party again, aren't you?"
Tree Spirit nodded. "I think so. But this time, Leona didn't come alone. She brought Fiery Witch with her, and —"
"And?"
Tree Spirit lowered his head, hid his expression in the shadows, and quickly said a name.
Tree Spirit didn't speak clearly, but Angor still heard the name — Yethaway.
Angor quickly realized that Leona was trying to use Yethaway to "persuade" Tree Spirit.
He had to admit that Leona had made a good move. Tree Spirit would have to give in this time. After all, everyone knew that Tree Spirit was secretly in love with Yethaway.
If Yethaway asked for it, Tree Spirit wouldn't refuse.
Angor noticed Tree Spirit's strange expression. Tree Spirit was probably trying to seduce Angor.
"Mister Tree Spirit, please take care of the other side. The ruin has been sealed for hundreds of years. I'll do it myself, "said Angor kindly.
Tree Spirit hesitated and nodded. "Alright."
However, Tree Spirit didn't leave right away. Instead, he walked out of the door and tapped on the ground.
A light green leaf slowly fell from the sky and merged with the ground. In the next second, a giant tree covered in green leaves appeared at the entrance of the ruin out of thin air.
"This tree is a kind of doppelganger of mine. If you need anything in the future, you can contact me through this tree," Tree Spirit said.
Angor also walked out of the corridor and looked at the giant tree with its leaves falling in the wind. Then he looked around at the barren land that was covered in gravel.
It didn't look out of place at all.
Tree Spirit seemed to have noticed the contrast between the tree and the surrounding environment. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll change it."
Angor shook his head. "No need. Just cover it up a little."
With that, Angor's eyes glowed. In the next second, the giant tree on the barren land turned into a short, withered stump.
This was a special Nightmare Illusion Technique. It could not only cover the tree, but also the entrance to the ruins. Most importantly, it blocked most energy detections. Even a truth-finder wizard would not be able to find any clues if they did not look closely.
Tree Spirit nodded at Angor and slowly disappeared into thin air. "You're right. You're right." Tree Spirit nodded at Angor and slowly disappeared.
Angor turned around and entered the dark ruin.
