The second day of the Stargazing Day had already begun.
Not long after Angor returned to reality from the dream wasteland, Sunders and Rein arrived at the ruin.
Judging from past experiences, the first day of the Stargazing Day was the most important day for Rein, so he paid the most attention to it. As for the next few days, he wasn't in such a hurry. He could wait until Maya came back and talk about it.
However, this Stargazing Day was a little different. This was the first time the Stargazing Day attracted so many observers, but there were almost no predictions made on the first day. Everyone was guessing that these observers would only speak on the second day of the exchange. For the first time, Rein paid more attention to the second day of the Stargazing Day.
Sunders and Rein didn't go inside the ruin right away. Instead, they stopped at a corridor on the first floor.
When he arrived at the hallway, he saw them standing at the entrance, looking at the 3D map projected by the magic array on the door. Tree Spirit stood beside them and explained some information about the three-dimensional map in a low voice.
Sunders and Rein didn't say anything. They only nodded at him and returned their attention to the map. While doing so, they also sent out spirit feelers to search the ruin.
Sunders was the first to look away.
Angor looked at the screen expectantly, but Sunders only shook his head helplessly. Obviously, it was very difficult to find any clues from this map alone.
A moment later, Rein withdrew his spirit feelers as well. Unlike Sunders, however, Rein frowned as if he had thought of something.
Everyone, including Tree Spirit, was waiting for Rhine to give them an answer that was beyond their expectations.
When Rein looked up, Tree Spirit was the first to speak. "How is it? Did you find the entrance to the hidden room? "
Looking at Tree Spirit's expectant eyes, Rhine's lips twitched. After a long while, he said, "No. I think I found the same thing as you. "
Tree Spirit's eyes dimmed a little at the familiar answer. Tree Spirit turned around and looked at Rhine, who had a calm expression on his face, and said in an annoyed tone, "You looked so serious, and your eyebrows were so tightly knitted that I thought you found something. So it's just an act … The Peach Heart Theater will arrive in the southern region soon. You're not preparing to perform on stage, are you? "
He didn't know anyone who dared to challenge Rein in Brute Cavern before, but now, he finally met a brave warrior.
Rhine was not angry. He knew Tree Spirit's temperament very well. Tree Spirit looked cynical, but in fact … he was cynical.
Among the three ancestor souls in Brute Cavern, Tree Spirit was the one who got along best with everyone else.
Therefore, when he was babbling nonsense, it was fine to just listen to it. There was no need to think too deeply.
"I did think of something, but it has nothing to do with this ruin." At this point, Rhine hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering whether to say what he had thought of.
In the end, Rhine said, "I'm actually thinking about the ruins."
Rhine did not mention "that ruin", but everyone knew that Rhine was talking about the one he was suppressing. It was also a gathering spot for the nightmare creatures.
"Do you mean that this relic is related to that relic?" Tree Spirit's voice suddenly rose.
If they were related, it would be a big news.
Rhine shook his head. "I don't think so. I was just looking at the runes on the door, and I thought there were similar runes on the door of that ruin. It would be great if there was a 3D map of that ruin. "
Everyone was speechless. So you're thinking about these useless things?
Tree Spirit said, "Almost all ruins have defensive runes on them. But that doesn't mean they all have the same creator."
"Yeah. That's why I said they are not related. I was just thinking about it." Rhine smiled awkwardly. It was precisely because he knew this that he was hesitant to say it out loud.
Tree Spirit took a deep breath. He really wanted to complain that Angor was wasting everyone's time thinking about useless things. But in the end, he held back his urge and did not say anything.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Angor tried to save some face. "I haven't seen that ruin yet, but I think they have something in common. Neither of them was built by Brute Cavern's ancestors. Maybe they drifted to the shore from the void. "
Everyone looked at Angor in silence. They did not say anything, but they all looked at Angor with their eyes.
Angor did not know what to say. He was just trying to lighten the atmosphere. But now, it looked even more awkward.
"Ahem. When I go to the ruin later, I'll fix the runes on the door. Maybe there really is a map?" Angor said, "After all, Mister Rhine's sudden mention might be a subconscious inspiration."
Angor's words did make the atmosphere a little better. It seemed to make sense if he used the word "inspiration" as an excuse. Everyone began to think about this possibility.
Angor sighed in his mind. He did not want to be the one trying to lighten the atmosphere. Let it be. He was not the one feeling awkward anyway. If he spoke, not only would he fail to ease the atmosphere, but he would also attract attention. If he could not explain himself, he would be the one feeling awkward.
"It's worth a try," Tree Spirit said after some consideration.
Sunders nodded. He did not think the map would be useful. Still, there was no harm in trying.
Rhine also looked at Angor with admiration. "Whether it works or not, it's always a good chance. If you need any materials, just ask Tree Spirit, and he'll get them for you from the material storage. "
Angor believed that Rhine's praise was only meant to ease his embarrassment.
…
There were no clues on the map, so they gave up in the end.
The map only told them that there was a hidden room. They still had to figure out how to get in. So far, they had used their spirit power to search the entire ruin countless times without finding anything out of place. There was nothing else they could do.
The only clue they had was the knight's armor.
Obviously, only Angor, who was an expert in runes, could solve the mystery of the knight's armor. There was nothing they could do to help.
After giving up on exploring the hidden room, they gathered in the study room on the second floor of the basement.
The mini signal towers were arranged properly, but there was still some time before the meeting ended.
They did not stay idle. Rhine contacted the two city lords of Floating Mech City through the mini signal towers, while Angor asked Rhine about the content of today's meeting.
