It didn't take long for Tree Spirit's clone to open its eyes.
"Rein already knows. He's in a meeting right now and will come later to talk to Mayor Lawson and Dean Muse personally."
Tree Spirit told Angor about Rein's message and said, "As long as the major organizations work together, it won't be hard to get rid of the Germinal Organization. By then, you won't have to worry about being targeted by them.
But before that, you might need to stay out of the limelight for a while. "
Angor understood this. He needed to calm himself down, so he didn't need to stay out of the limelight. Besides, he couldn't go out and cause trouble.
After telling Angor about the Germinal Organization, Tree Spirit asked about Angor's progress. After confirming that Angor had not fully repaired the magic array, Tree Spirit asked Angor to inform him when he was done. Tree Spirit then disappeared. Tree Spirit was in a hurry to go back and listen to Rein's gossip.
Angor returned to the ruin with a much more relaxed expression.
As far as he was concerned, the Germinal Organization was no longer a threat to him. He just needed to stay out of the way until the major organizations worked together to get rid of the organization, and he would have nothing to worry about. He wouldn't have to wait for too long. The longer he waited, the more unfavorable the situation would be for the southern wizarding region. Angor estimated that both sides would enter a stalemate within the year. By then, he wouldn't have to worry about being targeted by the Germinal Organization.
In a relaxed mood, Angor picked up his ink and engraving pen and began to fix the broken runes on the door.
Angor was so immersed in the process that he didn't feel time passing. Also, because of his good mood, his work was much more efficient than expected.
The next day, when Morning Star rose from the dark night and gave the first light of a new day, Angor's work was finally done.
When the last corner of the door was completed, the red runes on the door began to glow faintly.
The glow lasted for about half a minute. It went from intense red to faint and finally became colorless. Then, it was reflected on the runes.
When the glow faded away, the runes on the door and the door seemed to fit together. It was as if the densely packed mageweaths were naturally grown on the door and not carved on it.
Angor used Narda's Vision to perform a comprehensive inspection on all the runes.
After making sure that all the stripes were perfectly balanced and the energy flow in the circuit was normal, he sighed in relief.
By now, he was sure that the magic array on the door had been fixed.
Now, he only needed to inject energy into the Trigger Mageweath to activate the magic array.
However, he did not activate the rune right away. Instead, he stretched his back and carefully studied the runes. Satisfied with his achievement, he walked out of the ruin.
Of course, he was going to find Tree Spirit.
He could activate the magic array on his own, but he still called Tree Spirit over just in case. If something went wrong, Tree Spirit could inform Rein as soon as possible so that Angor would not be in danger.
A moment later, Tree Spirit's clone and Angor entered the ruin together.
Tree Spirit was very excited. He couldn't move his body and rarely participated in adventures and explorations. It was rare for a relic with a secret to appear in the radiation range of his mind, so he was naturally very curious.
Now that he was very likely to get the answer at the gate, how could he not be excited?
"The magic array is perfectly repaired. Even a Runemaster won't be able to find anything wrong with it," said Tree Spirit. Tree Spirit also inspected the magic array. Although he didn't know how to draw mageweaths, he could tell if the magic array was good or bad with his eyes.
"Shall I activate it?" Angor moved to activate the Trigger Mageweath.
"Wait, I'll do it." Tree Spirit stopped Angor, not because he was worried about Angor's safety, but because he wanted to solve the mystery of the ruin as soon as possible.
Angor nodded and stepped aside.
Although Tree Spirit had obtained the right to activate the magic array, he did not immediately activate it. Instead, he tossed a leaf into the air. The leaf turned into countless green light vines in the air, like budding tree branches. The vines quickly traveled along the corridor and into every room in the ruins.
These green tendrils were Tree Spirit's tentacles, which allowed him to check his surroundings in real time. The reason why the Tree Spirit covered the entire ruin with the light was to see if there would be any changes in the interior of the ruin after the mageweath on the door was activated, and if the hidden room would be opened.
After making sure everything was correct, Tree Spirit nodded to Angor, and the tendrils slowly moved toward the Trigger Mageweath.
As Tree Spirit poured his energy into the Trigger Mageweath, the dim magic array instantly lit up.
The magic array was successfully activated!
Both Tree Spirit and Angor were looking forward to seeing what would happen next. Tree Spirit also spread his consciousness over every single strand of light, just in case something happened.
However, to their surprise, nothing happened.
No, there was nothing strange.
As Angor thought, the magic array was a defensive one. It was successfully activated, but it was only for defense. As long as it wasn't attacked, it would remain passive.
"Could it be that … we need to trigger a mechanism to activate it?" Tree Spirit looked at the glowing magic array on the door and asked.
"Mister Tree Spirit, are you saying that a thief broke into the ruin and triggered the mechanism, and the ruin didn't retaliate? Instead, it opened up the hidden room?"
Tree Spirit said, "… Maybe the hidden room is very dangerous and it's meant for thieves to break in."
"If the hidden room is dangerous, there shouldn't be a way out," Angor said. He already guessed that there was a hidden passage, so he was sure that the hidden room had an exit.
"Anyway, let's give it a try." Tree Spirit still wanted to see what would happen.
Angor considered and walked to the magic array. "I checked the Trigger Mageweath carefully when I repaired it. It's dangerous, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Let me check it again. "
Angor crouched down and studied the patterns on the door again. He wasn't trying to fix the Trigger Mageweath. Instead, he was looking at the remaining ones.
Tree Spirit didn't say anything when he saw how serious Angor was. He just stood behind Angor and waited for him to finish.
Angor reached out a finger and traced the patterns in the air.
Time ticked by. When Angor reached a corner of the pattern, he suddenly paused.
"Eh, this place … seems to have repeated a linking mageweath?"
