Chapter 370 The remains of the ruins

The base camp of the eye of the hurricane, Hurricane City!

This is a city located deep in the canyon, second only to the City of Mist in terms of scale. However, as a newly emerging organization, it is obviously very rare for Hurricane Eye to build its headquarters to this extent.

What's more, there is a clan of wind giants here as the guardians of this city!

"Welcome, friends of the Kellett family, to the Hurricane City."

As soon as the convoy entered Hurricane City, a figure wearing a brown wizard robe walked up to them, seemingly waiting here specifically.

"Hello, Wizard Merle."

Fianna turned over and got off the white magic horse, saluting the brown-robed wizard in front of her.

"Long time no see, Miss Fiana is looking more and more beautiful." With a gentle smile on his face, Wizard Merle looked at the motorcade and asked, "Isn't Mr. Freeman here?"

"I will participate in this auction of the Valley of the Wind on behalf of the Kellytel family. Uncle Freeman will stay in the City of Mist to handle some family affairs."

Fiana replied politely, then turned around and introduced to Merle, "This is Lord Enzo, the youngest second-level wizard of [Phantom of Crows], worshiped by the Kelitel family!"

"Second-level wizard?"

Merle was taken aback and quickly saluted and said, "Welcome to Hurricane City, Lord Enzo."

Enzo nodded slightly, with a calm expression on his face.

Even without the use of chip detection, just from the aura emanating from Merle, Enzo could tell that the opponent was only a first-level wizard, and that he was the kind of guardian wizard who had exhausted his talents and had no hope of being promoted again in this life.

"Perhaps he was once a wandering wizard?"

Enzo's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing in his heart, saying, "The aura of decay and old age is so strong, it's no wonder he was sent here as the receptionist of the Kellytel family..."

[Eye of the Hurricane], as a newly emerging organization, is similar in nature to the Wizards Alliance. The main body is composed of a large number of wizard families and wandering wizards. The strength of the internal members is uneven, resulting in a huge difference in the status of wizards.

"This year's Nausicaa Auction will start in three days."

After learning Enzo's identity, Merle's attitude became more respectful and said, "Before the auction, [Eye of the Hurricane] has prepared a residence for the Kellet family. Please come with me."

Later, Meller served as the guide and led the Kelitel family's motorcade to an independent courtyard in Hurricane City, which served as the temporary residence of the Kelitel family before the auction began.

"Before the auction begins, please ask the Caitel family and Sir Enzo to stay here first. If you have any requests, you can make them to me at any time." After Merle arranged the accommodation for everyone, he left the courtyard.

There are still three days until the auction starts.

During this period, the forces from the entire Dark Territory preparing to participate in the auction will arrive in Hurricane City one after another, making the city seem more and more lively.

"Maybe I should go for a walk."

When he came to Hurricane City for the first time, Enzo didn't want to stay in the room all the time, so after taking a short rest, he decided to go out alone.

…

On both sides of the criss-crossing streets are shops, representing various places, including pubs, restaurants and the like.

Enzo was walking down the street, followed by a big golden retriever dog with a bare butt and no tail.

Not long after, half an hour passed.

This place is already in the central area of ​​Hurricane City, and there are almost no civilians around. People in a hurry are wearing robes. Most of them are wizard apprentices belonging to the [Hurricane Eye]. Occasionally, one or two formal wizards can be seen.

Go to a spacious square.

It seems to be somewhat similar to the trading area in the academy. There are stalls in the square in an orderly manner, and many apprentices are shouting loudly.

"Fresh Mountain Bear Heart!"

"Come and take a look, there are magical items here!"

"Ghoul eyes, for sale cheap!"

The sound of selling in his ears made Enzo feel like he was back in his apprenticeship. He walked casually in the square, glanced at the stalls, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

The trading square here is mainly for apprentices.

Therefore, the items for sale are all low-level goods that are useless to Enzo. If you really want to buy items, you still have to wait for the Nausicaa of the Wind auction in three days.

"Map of ancient god ruins, exchange for a high-level demonized item, or 1,000 magic stones!"

Just as Enzo was about to cross the square, a sudden sound came from around him, causing him to stop and look to the right.

"Map of the ruins of gods?" Enzo frowned slightly.

Not far away, there was an ordinary stall with only a few items on the black canvas, and the owner of the stall was a short apprentice.

"Come and see, my friend."

Because Enzo restrained his aura, the short apprentice could not see his level and thought he was just a wizard apprentice like himself, so he greeted him warmly.

"I have a map here about the ruins of ancient gods. Do you want to exchange it? All it takes is 1,000 magic stones or a high-level magic item."

Enzo's face was calm and he looked at the items placed on the stall.

A piece of parchment that looked a little tattered, but definitely less than a century old, was quietly placed in the corner, with a map outlined in black lines on it.

"Map of the ruins of gods?" Enzo raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, the information recorded on this map is about the ruins of a fallen ancient god!" The short apprentice said with sincerity, "I paid a lot of money to obtain such a map. The price of 1,000 magic stones is absolutely Excellent value for money.”

A sneer appeared on Enzo's face.

If the short apprentice opposite knew Enzo's true identity, he would definitely not dare to speak so freely. The consequences of deceiving a second-level wizard were definitely not what he was willing to face.

Any existence that can be called a god must have a life level of at least level four. Even formal wizards will flock to the information about the ruins of gods. Even if Enzo doesn't check it carefully, the price of one thousand magic stones can already be explained. question.

"What? Don't you believe it?"

The short apprentice seemed to have noticed Enzo's doubts, and quickly grabbed the map and said, "I swear on my honor, the information recorded on this map is definitely about a god's ruins."

Enzo's face was expressionless and he no longer suppressed his breath.

The magic wave unique to second-level wizards was released in an instant. The short apprentice in the booth opposite suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled in shock.

"Second...Second-level wizard?!"

The short apprentice's knees became weak and he knelt on the ground. The apprentices in the surrounding booths all cast strange glances before they noticed the situation.

In the entire Dark Territory, except for those leaders of large organizations, the top existence is the second-level wizard. Each second-level wizard has the ability to control a large kingdom and supports a powerful wizard family.

The short apprentice's mouth was bitter. He never expected that he would meet such a big shot as a second-level wizard in the trading square that belonged to the apprentice.

"Get up."

Enzo didn't want to attract too much attention, so he suppressed his breath and spoke quietly.

The short apprentice stood up quickly, but his attitude became extremely reserved and respectful.

Enzo shook his head and turned to leave.

"Wait...wait a minute." At this time, the voice of the short apprentice came from behind. He hesitated, seemed to muster up a lot of courage, and said: "Second-level wizard, don't you plan to buy this ruins map?" ?”

Enzo turned around with a surprised expression on his face.

The short apprentice already knew his identity, but still believed that the map was authentic, which surprised Enzo.

"If you question the authenticity of the map, I can make an oath through the Eye of Judgment!" the short apprentice said quickly.

"I think you should know the consequences of deceiving a second-level wizard, right?" Enzo looked at the short apprentice with a half-smile.

"Don't dare to deceive the wizard."

The short apprentice took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The information recorded on this map is indeed about the ruins of an ancient god. It is just that it is not the original version, but a incomplete map that has been rubbed."

"Oh?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.

He reached out his hand unceremoniously, grabbed the old map on the stall, and looked at the information on it under the nervous eyes of the short apprentice.

"This is……"

Seeing the information on the map, Enzo couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and the map he got from Wizard Gram when he was in the forest world came to mind.

The information in the two broken maps partially overlaps. It seems that the recorded ruins of the gods are the same, and they are similar in nature to puzzle pieces.

"Where did you get this map?"

Enzo raised the map in his hand and asked with a calm expression on his face.

"Before joining Hurricane, I was originally a wandering apprentice. I once obtained this fragmentary map in a tomb during an expedition."

"According to my speculation, the owner of that tomb should also be a wandering wizard. He accidentally obtained this map of the god's ruins, but he had no ability to explore it and could only use it as a burial object after his death." said the short apprentice.

Enzo's eyes flickered, and the thoughts in his heart changed.

Through the scanning of the chip, it was found that the little apprentice opposite did not show abnormal mood swings when he told the origin of the map, so he was obviously not lying.

"Since this map of gods is real, why is the price so low?" Enzo was a little confused and asked, "As far as I know, gods are fourth-level life forms, and even just a fragment of information is enough for the official wizard to pay more. High price, right?”

"If it were a normal map of the ruins of gods, it would naturally not be worth only a thousand magic stones." A wry smile appeared on the short apprentice's face, and he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the ruins recorded on this map are located in the [Lost Continent], where the sorcerer is called The restricted area, except for the fallen wizards who are wanted by [Parliament] for breaking the law, no one will easily set foot on that continent!"

"What's more, the [Lost Continent] is the place where the Dark Lord and a group of slave gods fell. It is also called the 'Burial Place of the Gods.' After the final battle, a large number of gods fell on the Lost Continent. There are hundreds of relics of gods, and there are too many maps circulating on the market, so the prices are naturally extremely low..."

Hearing the little apprentice's explanation, a thoughtful expression appeared on Enzo's face.

[Lost Continent] is a special area in the wizarding world. Due to the death of the Dark Lord in the final battle, the powerful divine power caused the entire Lost Continent to be shrouded in darkness. Any living being who steps into it will be affected by different influences.

Therefore, it is also regarded as a restricted area for wizards by the [Supreme Council]!

At the end of the final battle, the Dark Lord died at the hands of the ancestor of the wizards, and a large number of his followers also fell into the Lost Continent, forming ruins of gods everywhere.

It is precisely because of this that the Lost Continent is called the ‘Burial Place of the Gods’.

Many gods are buried on that continent, and various ruins maps are circulated in the wizarding world. However, due to the restricted area, except for the escaped fallen wizards, few wizards will go to the lost continent to explore the so-called ruins of the gods.

"With such a map of the ruins of the gods, have you ever thought about exploring the Lost Continent yourself?" Enzo raised the map in his hand.

"My lord is joking."

The short apprentice touched the tip of his nose and said with a wry smile: "[The Lost Continent] is a forbidden area in the entire wizarding world. Under the influence of the remaining divine power of the Dark Lord, it is full of dangers. Even formal wizards who set foot in it are likely to perish."

"What's more, since the end of the Second Era, the [Lost Continent] has been defined as a restricted area by the [Supreme Council], and five supreme wizards have jointly set up a large witch formation there. It is extremely difficult for anyone to easily set foot on it. .”

Enzo stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

As the little apprentice told it, the Lost Continent is a special area, and various reasons prevent wizards from easily entering it. It is precisely for this reason that the maps about the ruins of the gods in the Lost Continent are so cheap.

"I want this map." After Enzo pondered for a moment, he threw ten high-level magic stones to the short apprentice.

The exchange ratio between ordinary magic stones and high-level magic stones has always been 100:1. Ten high-level magic stones happened to be the price of the map. When the short apprentice saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly collected the ten high-level magic stones. stand up.

"Thank you very much, distinguished second-level wizard." The short apprentice smiled happily.

The broken map has been in his hand for a long time. Anyone who knows a little bit about the lost continent will not be confused by the so-called relics of gods and impulsively spend a thousand magic stones.

However, Enzo didn't care about this.

Even after buying this map, he did not make up his mind to explore the [Lost Continent]. He just planned to put it together because he already had part of the map.

"If you become a fallen wizard one day, maybe this map can be of some use."

Enzo laughed at himself in his heart, the Lost Continent is an extremely dangerous restricted area, even the fallen wizards wanted by the [Parliament] are not willing to set foot in it easily. Only those who are desperate will regard the Lost Continent as their final destination.
