Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes

"I can try, Your Excellency Anvis."

Qiao Mu nodded calmly, took out a purple magic circle from the ring, and injected magic power to light it up.

After he operated slightly, a full-scale map of the island suddenly appeared in midair above the array.

At the same time, a faint green bright spot suddenly lit up, flickering in a vague shadow area above the island, between the endless blue ocean.

"It seems that on the north side of the island, five miles out to sea, it coincides with the location of the underwater ruins."

Looking at the map, Chaum said the results of the investigation.

"The underwater ruins?"

Anvis glanced at the map suspiciously. The bright spot representing the ship was indeed hidden in that deep place, making it appear extremely abrupt and conspicuous.

According to the old explorer Baigesen, the underwater ruins are related to the Moon Calling Esoteric Order.

Originally, Anweis didn't plan to go there due to the hidden danger perception.

But that black ship was able to go to the mainland, and then successfully returned more than once, which shows that there is a high probability that it has a magic device for guidance.

After a little hesitation, Anweis finally made up his mind.

"Alright, let's go around far away, find a way to get the guidance device on that ship, and then leave immediately."

.....

The northernmost point of the island group of mountains, the top of the mountain.

The lonely castle hangs precariously on the edge of the cliff, and a huge steel drawbridge connects it to the summit of another mountain.

Surrounded by many gray thorns and weird roses, the towering outer walls of the castle are covered with dark green vines, and a large number of vines even penetrate into the stone arched windows, giving people an ancient feeling. And the feeling of gloom.

The full moon rose, and the pale purple moonlight shrouded the castle. When it seeped into the thick arched windows of the castle, it gave an unabashedly cold and biting feeling.

The whistling peaks blew past the sharp spiers, bastions, and round towers of the castle, and shuttled back and forth between the narrow windows and semicircular arches, making a strange whistling sound.

In the depths of the castle, the half-elf girl holding the beautiful and slender one-handed sword tightly in her right hand and a warm yellow lantern in her left hand is advancing carefully.

After searching around for a while, Claire flipped the switch, opened a secret door, and proceeded carefully to the bottom of the castle.

Soon, she already felt that the soft thing calling her was just ahead.

In the process of exploration, she also encountered some dangers, but for her, an explorer with some experience, it was not too difficult.

The most dangerous time was when the tower on the side of the castle collapsed suddenly due to 'disrepair'.

But luckily, she is used to escaping from all kinds of collapsed buildings.

The moment before the thousands of tons of ancient rock collapsed like the sky, the girl rushed out of the tower of the black steel rock in advance and survived.

There was a strange power fluctuation in the castle, which was completely different from any place on the island, but Claire didn't sense any danger, but had a strange kind of intimacy with it.

It seemed that she had known him for a long time.

Before the last secret door, the girl stopped.

The secret door is made of ancient blue-black metal, with a strange ancient symbol engraved on the surface.

For some reason, she suddenly felt something in her heart.

Prompted by this perception, she slowly let go of the lantern in her left hand, and gently pressed her tender palm against the surface of the symbol.

The symbol lighted up slightly, and the girl felt a slight numbness in her fingertips, and a drop of blood was sucked out from her fingertips and merged into the symbol.

As if meeting certain conditions, the door slid open silently, revealing a long spiral staircase hidden in the darkness deep behind it.

A bright red carpet was laid on the surface of the black wooden stairs, and the part where the secret door was opened was the middle of the stairs, no matter whether it went up or down, Claire couldn't see the end.

Standing at the door, the girl clearly sensed that the source of that attraction was at the top of the spiral staircase.

The warm yellow light illuminated the darkness of the spiral staircase, and the girl cautiously climbed towards the roof with her sword in hand.

Although it may be the end, Claire still hasn't let down her vigilance.

She has seen many negative cases where explorers lost their hands and fell into danger due to relaxation at the last moment of the expedition, resulting in disability or even death.

Although the spiral staircase seemed long, the exit at the end finally appeared in front of the girl as she continued to climb.

After walking out of the spiral staircase, a wide rock hall appeared in her eyes.

Ancient silk banners were hung on the four walls of the hall, and a strange symbol was embroidered on the scarlet banner with gold borders, as if it was a symbol of an ancient country that had been destroyed for a long time.

And on the stone throne in the center of the hall, something radiating light firmly attracted the girl's attention.

It was a beautiful and illusory fragment, with a little bit of dreamy luster around it, and the wonderful color was even difficult to describe in any words.

Looking at the fragments, an indescribable intimacy came from the girl's heart.

It seemed that she was very familiar with it a long time ago.

"You came……"

When the eyes touched the fragments, a soft female voice, like a clear spring, suddenly flowed in the heart of the half-elf girl.

"Are you calling me? Can you solve it for me, can I bring bad luck to my companions?"

Looking suspiciously at the suspended debris on the throne, Claire asked softly.

"Yes... our 'core'..."

A circle of gentle ripples emanated from the surface of the shard, brushing against the girl's soft and fair cheeks, as if expressing approval.

"What did you call me?"

The girl was slightly taken aback.

"core……"

The fragments fluctuated gently.

"There is no need to doubt, you are one of the 'fragments', and the most important, indispensable, and only core fragment..."

"The power of the 'fragments' to unite into one will spontaneously attract you, and the 'bad luck trait' on you may only be related to our main body..."

"I'm a 'core' fragment?"

The girl was a little startled, instinctively raised her hand to comb her golden hair, and asked a question.

"So, before it shattered... the pieces of what?"

"A broken mirror cannot reflect the whole picture of oneself... Damaged body tissues also cannot know the identity of the former life, and we are the same..."

The illusory fragments fluctuated gently, and the light spots on the surface sometimes spread out and sometimes condensed.

"If there is a piece of fragments that may record your appearance when you are complete... Then, I'm afraid it will only be you as the core, as the brain..."

"Touch me, absorb me, and you will know everything I know..."

"Okay... If, I absorb you, will your consciousness disappear?"

Claire nodded slightly, but due to the unspeakable kindness in her heart, she hesitated to ask.

"I am you, you are me, we are one, there is no disappearance."

The fragmented female voice finally sounded, and at the same time, a huge purple moon in the sky outside the window suddenly appeared in the girl's heart.

"Go, in the depths of the castle, there are the inheritances we left to ourselves. Take them, and then leave here, leave this island that is about to usher in the end, and bring our common desire to reunite!"
