Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1068 Personnel Missing Ether Separation
——"Be vigilant, go to the mage tower first!"

After conveying his judgment on this foggy area, Xia Duo directed Rodite and others to march towards the mage tower where the core of the ruins is located.

Although in everyone's view, the mage tower was less than 100 meters away from them, it actually took them quite a while to get there.

With Rodit's relic hunters exploring the way in advance, everyone knew that this foggy area was actually very safe, so they flew over directly with the flying skills that had not dissipated from their bodies.

About 5 minutes later, Rodit and his party arrived at the foot of the mage tower.

Unlike the loose humus soil on the ground before, the ground here is completely paved with regular square stone slabs.

Maybe it's because of the special environment of this area, or maybe it's because Rodit's men have cleaned it up before. The ground here looks very clean, with only a thin layer of floating soil, and the patterns on the floor are clearly visible.

"Rodit, where are the relic hunters under your command?" Rodit's friend, the high-ranking mage Viki of Zilan Tower, said suddenly.

"I'm also surprised, I clearly asked them to wait for us in the square in front of this mage tower."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of other people changed immediately. Although Xia Duo didn't come to the scene in person, he also became a little nervous.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for Rodit's subordinates to betray, so there is only one possibility. Those people encountered some kind of accident—they failed to come, or they came and disappeared.

—— "Let's go together, walk around the square, pay attention to the ground." Xia Duo ordered.

Rodite and the others followed suit, and it didn't take much time to walk around in one circle. Compared with the sudden disappearance of the relic hunters prepared in advance, no one cared about this time at all.

Soon, Rodite and others came to the foot of the mage tower again, looking at the deep entrance of the mage tower, waiting for Xia Duo's explanation.

——"I don't know if you have noticed, the ground is very clean, and there are no other traces except you. Rodite, have those people under your command talked about the situation in the square?"

"what?"

Rodite clenched his fists, rubbed his knuckles vigorously at his temples, and then made an annoyed voice, "They seem to have said that, but at that time my attention was all on the inside of the Mage Tower, and I don't remember what they said at all. !"

"..."

Everyone was speechless for a moment, and then Abner, who was still a student of Rodit's father, who had rich experience in ruins exploration, answered for him: "After receiving the teacher's order, I immediately asked Rex and others, and they mentioned that there are The materials stored in the square once disappeared inexplicably.”

After Abner finished speaking, Rodit seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said: "I remembered, when Rex said that some supplies were missing, I thought it was an excuse for me to increase investment, but unexpectedly it is true."

——"Now it seems that Rex and others may have disappeared inexplicably like those supplies."

Xia Duo's words made Rodite and the others nervous immediately, and asked one after another: "What about us?"

"Lord Xia Duo, can you see anything unusual here?"

——"Probably guessed some, but before answering your questions, I need to ask another question, just ask Master Abner, you have communicated with Rex and others, have they mentioned the original square? What state is it? Or to be more specific, this square was also so clean at first, or is it in some other state.”

In the mind link, the communication is very fast, and Abner just recalled it, and replied directly through the active consciousness information:
"I didn't say it clearly, but they also mentioned that they found some tower wrecks in the square, but they didn't take them out because they were too heavy. Now it seems that, apart from the materials, those tower wrecks have also disappeared."

——"Then let me talk about my conclusion. I mentioned before that the foggy area completely overlaps with the etheric plane, and the square is undoubtedly counted as a foggy area, even the inside of the mage tower, but now I have to adjust this conclusion slightly .

——"I suspect that the overlap between the square and the etheric plane may not be complete. Maybe the two planes are separated at a certain moment, and the people or things on the square at that time must exist in one plane. Maybe it's the main plane, maybe it's the ether plane."

At this moment, Xia Duo actually didn't want to continue exploring anymore. Not to mention that all the relic hunters who could have been guides disappeared, and people like Rodit entered the Mage Tower again, and they were in a state of land reclamation.

In the mage tower, perhaps this kind of overlapping and separation of planes will happen more frequently than in the square.

Xia Duo wondered if the ruins were about to collapse, just like a dilapidated old house that had been searched several times by a group of people inside and out, and now it was finally about to collapse.

And once the ruins collapse, there may be a situation similar to the collapse of the Mystic, involving the overlapping of planes, maybe everything here will be thrown into the ether plane, and never return to the main plane.

Of course, it is also possible that nothing happened, but all hidden dangers were eliminated.

Xia Duo passed his guesses and suggestions to the soul link, and then waited for the decision of Rodite and others with peace of mind.

In fact, he himself didn't pay much attention to the treasures or materials that might exist inside the ruins. Of course it would be good to have them, and he wouldn't be too lost without him.

What he really cared about was the state of the existence of the ruins itself.

This relic is most likely the product of a failed experiment on the demiplane. If it can be studied thoroughly, it will definitely allow him to make a big breakthrough in the field of the plane.

Compared with the previously unknown treasures, Xia Duo, who has obtained the location of the ruins, has already obtained what he wants.

Of course, it would be somewhat unethical for him to give up now and come directly to study the status of the ruins. If Rodit and the others insist on exploring, he will continue to provide information analysis and command services.

Time passed bit by bit, Rodit and the others were thinking and weighing, but their footsteps had subconsciously come to the edge of the square.

Just when Xia Duo thought they were about to give up, Rodit said: "If Rex and the others are not here, then they will be here. Could it be that we are such high-level mages, and we can't explore without a few ordinary people!
"Besides, there is Lord Xiaduo! I believe Lord Xiaduo will be able to lead us to victory!"

"..."

Xia Duo was speechless for a moment. It is a good thing to be trusted, but it is not necessarily a good thing to explore ruins that are obviously likely to change.

If he hadn't agreed to participate in the exploration before, if he hadn't been in the watchtower, he would have returned home long ago in such a situation.

But even if you want to continue exploring, today is not a good time, so he proposed again:

"Since you insist, I will continue to fulfill my promise, but the relics have an abnormal plane overlapping state. To be on the safe side, I need to make some extra preparations. Let's cancel today's operation for the time being. I suggest that you also make more preparations." , See you at the Watchtower in two days!"
