Sunders' conclusion was based on Tree Spirit's two theories, but it was more convincing than a one-sided conclusion.
Because now it was confirmed that this knight's armor must have appeared in the ruins in the last hundred years. The person who brought it in must have used a hidden passage that no one knew about. Otherwise, anyone who entered the ruin through the front door would have triggered the seal.
Since there was a hidden passage in the ruin, it wasn't surprising that there was a hidden room in the ruin as well.
Tree Spirit considered and looked at Sunders. "I agree with your theory. But the biggest question is, where is this hidden passage leading to the outside world? "
"We can try looking for it later," said Rhine. Hundreds of years ago, when the ruin was sealed, Tree Spirit also asked him to search for the so-called hidden room. Back then, Rhine was still doubtful about the existence of the hidden room, so he didn't pay much attention to it. They didn't know whether there was a hidden room or not, but they were sure that there was a hidden passage somewhere. Anything that happened before would leave traces behind. With this knowledge, it would be much easier to search for the hidden passage than blindly searching.
Rhine paused. "Let's put the hidden passage aside for now. I'm more curious about the identity of this outsider who entered the ruin within the last century."
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the owner of the ruin," said Angor.
Tree Spirit nodded. "Only the owner of the ruin, or someone who is related to the owner, can know about the hidden passage."
As far as they knew, there were only two owners of the ruin. One was the unknown creator of the ruin, and the other was Tizaro.
Angor didn't think it was Tizaro. He believed that it was the first owner of the ruin.
Tizaro was Dumartin's teacher, and he left the southern wizarding region long ago. According to Tizaro's handwritten notes, Tizaro deduced that there was a hidden room in the ruin through certain details, but he didn't find it in the end.
The first owner of the ruin was the creator of the ruin, so he must have designed the hidden passage as well. It was reasonable for him to know about the hidden passage and use it to enter the ruin.
Another important piece of information was the alchemy runes on the knight's armor.
Although they didn't know the information of the first owner of the ruins, they could tell that he was an alchemist from the distribution of rooms in the ruins and the arrangement of various precision instruments in the laboratory.
Since he was an alchemist, the alchemy mageweath on the knight's armor might have been drawn by him.
Tree Spirit agreed. "You're right. The one who brought the armor here is most likely the first owner of this ruin."
"If that's the case, we're the outsiders here. He's the one who created the ruin. "
"You can't say that. If the first master really came back, he must have found traces of Tizaro in the ruins, and he must have noticed that the ruins were sealed. He didn't seem to care about it in the slightest, nor did he touch the sealed restrictions, nor did he add any traps here … In my opinion, there's only one possibility. " Tree Spirit shrugged. "He doesn't care about this alchemy laboratory. It could even be said that he has given up on it."
Tree Spirit's words made sense. Many wizards would leave their laboratories in various places for temporary use. Leaving them meant giving up on them, and they wouldn't care about who would come in later. Even so, there was still one thing that didn't make sense. "Then why did he come back?"
"Who knows? Maybe he was just passing by and decided to check it out."
"Whatever he's thinking, at least we know what he's thinking." Rhine joined their conversation. "Let's put aside irrelevant guesses for now. Since the stargazing day isn't over yet, I'll take a closer look at this ruin."
Rhine's words meant that he was going to examine the ruins seriously this time.
Both Sunders and Tree Spirit agreed with this idea. They didn't think it was a big deal, but since they had nothing else to do, they might as well find something to do.
Next, it was time to search.
However, they didn't mean to search every nook and cranny of the ruin with a lantern. They still gathered in the study. Rhine closed his eyes and released the Eye of Truth to scan every corner of the ruin. Sunders released several demon falcons to extend their vision and search for anything unusual. He also sent his spirit feelers to every corner of the ruin.
As for Tree Spirit … he didn't do anything. After all, he was only an avatar and couldn't do anything.
Although Tree Spirit did not do anything, he did not stop nagging from beginning to end.
At first, he was analyzing all kinds of oddities in the ruin and trying to guess the identity of the first alchemist. But when he was almost done with his analysis and couldn't find anything else to say, he began to complain again.
As for the content of the bitterness, it was naturally about the venue of the tea party.
Since Rhine was here, Tree Spirit complained even more. To show how pitiful he was, Tree Spirit kept complaining.
He kept talking about things like "Leona is being unreasonable", "I'll get hurt if I open up the inner space", and "some witches might try to harm the Pool of Life".
Rhine was annoyed by Tree Spirit's nagging. He still controlled the Eye of Truth with his eyes closed. "Don't worry. Open up the inner space. I'll personally guard the Pool of Life during the tea party. I won't let anyone in."
When Tree Spirit heard that Rhine was still on Leona's side, he hurriedly said, "You can guard the Pool of Life, but you can't open up the inner dimension. You know that I will suffer a great backlash if I do that."
Speaking of backfire, Rhine paused for a moment. Tree Spirit was right. Opening up a space in the core of a tree that could accommodate many people would definitely result in backfire, but …
"Yes, but the Tree of Eternity can still handle it. It'll take one or two years to recover."
One or two years was nothing for the Tree of Eternity which had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.
"Even if it's only one or two years, it's still precious time. If the mirror world is attacked during this period of time, the consequences will be dire. "Tree Spirit was still trying to argue.
"You're only fooling the other wizards." Rhine's eyes were still closed as he said softly, "It's just one or two years of cultivation. This won't affect your battle prowess at all. Even if you're attacked, we'll be there to protect you. "
"But …" Tree Spirit hesitated.
"No buts. One or two years in exchange for a grand event in the wizarding world is worth it. As you know, the host of each tea party always has some hidden rights. As long as we use them well, we can gather a lot of information during this event, which will only benefit Brute Cavern. "
Rhine knew how unhappy Tree Spirit was. However, the tea party was very important to Brute Cavern. It was not only a way to show off their strength, but also to gain a lot of benefits.
"Besides, if you really don't want to open up the inner space, you'll have to find another place. As you know, Brute Cavern is located in a barren highland. The only good thing we have is the mirror world.
"The best place in the mirror world, which has the densest mana and can control everyone's movements, is the Tree of Eternity."
