Chapter 360 Searching
“How is it? Did you find anything here?”
“No, Captain.”
“What about Nasi? Did you find anything?”
“Not yet…”
After searching around, the Knights rushed back to report to Alza. After listening to the Knights’ report, Alza could not help but frown.
“No?”
He frowned and said in confusion, “How come there isn’t anything? It shouldn’t be!”
Jackman also walked over and asked, “Alza, don’t you have any specific clues on your map? Could it be that you were deceived by your ancestors or something?”
Alza said in a bad mood, “Jackman, do you want me to smash your head with my cane? Don’t say such nonsense!”
After a pause, he turned to Heath and said, “Wizard Heath, do you think there is a way to find out the specific location of the ruins? I’m afraid it’s not a good idea to search blindly.”
Jackman also came over and said, “Yes, Heath, you have so much knowledge. You should be able to find a way, right?”
Heath hesitated for a moment. “Let me think about it.”
After pondering for a moment, he took out candles, Magic Stones, magic brushes, and other tools from his interspatial ring and set up a complicated magic array on the spot.
Jackman and Alza came over one after another, their eyes full of curiosity. Heath’s magic array looked extremely complicated and complex. Many of the magic knowledge used on it was something ordinary Wizards like them had never seen before.
Heath saw this and casually explained, “This is a perception magic array. Its name is [Arrangement of Bat Sounds]. The principle is the same as the bat’s external perception.”
“Through it, I can release my spiritual power in the shape of an umbrella, greatly increasing the range of my spiritual power perception. If there really is a ruin around here, then it’s impossible not to discover it.”
Hearing this, the two people’s faces lit up.
“That’s great!”
“Wizard Heath, I’m so lucky to have met
you!”
Heath waved his hand. “It’s too early to be happy.”
Under the puzzled gazes of the two people… He continued to add, “This method can indeed determine whether there is a ruin around here. But in other words, if I’m still unable to detect the existence of a ruin around here through this method, then it proves that there isn’t any ruin here.”
What happened a few years ago, no one could guarantee that it was real. After coming here, Heath didn’t feel any ruins around. In other words… What Alza got might be fake news.
He said, “I think the two of you should be mentally prepared.”
Jackman and Alza frowned. Jackman was fine. This was probably a wasted trip for him, but for Alza, this might be a chance to ruin his life.
Heath immediately returned to the magic array.
[Arrangement of Bat Sounds] was only an intermediate-level magic array of the same level as him. This level of magic array could be set up even when he was a beginner Wizard, not to mention now that he had advanced to an intermediate-level Wizard, there were no obstacles in terms of strength. Everything could be said to have been done naturally.
In less than half an hour, Heath had completed the [Arrangement of Bat Sounds].
Then, he stood in front of the magic array and raised a hand. His five fingers were curled into claws, and his palm was facing down. He raised his hand and chanted an obscure incantation.
As the incantation was chanted, a cloud of gray smoke suddenly rose from the magic array. The smoke became stronger and stronger, and slowly formed a large bat phantom behind Heath.
The moment the bat phantom was formed, the bat opened its mouth and screamed, “Ahhhhhh!!!!!!”
It was a strange sound. It was not loud, but it was particularly ear-piercing. It was like a sound of a special frequency, causing one’s blood to surge.
In the space, one could see traces of ripples surging out, as if pebbles had been thrown into a calm lake.
Jackman and Alza could not help but become nervous.
Alza, in particular, held his cane tightly with his aged hands. The fear in his eyes was obvious.
After more than ten seconds, Heath, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
Alza immediately walked forward and asked, “How… How is it, Sir Wizard?”
He could not help but swallow his saliva as he spoke. His trembling voice fully explained his current state of mind.
At the same time, the eyes of the surrounding crowd were also focused on Heath.
Heath did not let everyone wait for long. Very quickly, he nodded and said, “I think I should have found it.”
“What?!”
“Great!”
“Where is it? Sir Wizard, where is the ruin?”
Alza let out a long sigh of relief. If he heard a negative answer from Heath now, he really did not know what to do next.
He quickly asked, “Wizard Heath, the ruin is…”
Heath turned to the right and walked over ten steps in that direction. Then he took out the cross-shaped sword from his dimensional pocket and drew a cross on the ground.
He pointed his sword at the cross and said, “Dig down here.”
Alza immediately waved his cane and ordered the Knights around him, “Quick, dig it up. Do what Wizard Heath said. Dig it up!”
“Yes!”
“Yes, Sir Wizard.”
The Knights promised and began to dig up the parts that were marked by heath.
Exploration ruins and shovels were necessary items. Alza, of course, had arranged for people to prepare them long before this trip. At this time, they all took them out and handed them to the Knights to excavate.
With so many people working together, and all of them were Knights, the excavation progress was obviously self-evident.
In just over ten minutes, a large pit with a diameter of about two meters had been formed in front of everyone.
They continued to dig down along this huge pit. After digging down for another three to five meters, a soft sound was heard.
Clang! A dull sound was heard, as if a shovel had hit a hard stone.
“Sir, there’s something down there!” the Knights shouted.
Alza, who had been anxiously waiting on top, hurriedly jumped into the huge pit. Heath and Jackman followed closely behind.
When they reached the bottom of the pit, Heath quickly saw what the Knights had dug out. It was a stone that seemed to be covered with complicated patterns.
Alza immediately said, “Dig around.”
The Knights followed Alza’s instructions and continued to expand the results of the digging. They quickly dug out the soil around them. Immediately, the true appearance of the stone was revealed to everyone.
It was a stone door…
