Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Sander held the ancient bookmark in his hand and leaned against the wall, lost in thought.

The mysterious gift from Mrs. Manstein has now been made into a bookmark, sandwiched between the archived copies of "Thus Spoke Kondra Tesla" of each generation. The bad stains of the predecessor Felix have been removed, but the damaged signature cannot be repaired. I don't know what kind of thrilling adventures this bookmark and its predecessors have experienced in the long and tortuous years, and what kind of power this bookmark has been contaminated with. Maybe in the future, it will be able to access some extraordinary power that can restore the damaged things to their original state, but Sander still has no clue now.

The Tesla family is still moving too slowly on the road to the extraordinary, Sander sighed. The Tesla family grew from a beggar to a technology giant and then declined to the current level. It is indeed lacking in exploration in the extraordinary world. Most of the ancestors followed Mr. Condra's guidance to trace the glory of technology, but had no intention of exploring the mysteries of the extraordinary world. But if you want to expand your power and explore the essence of the world, you must seek help from the extraordinary and spiritual. In addition, as a purely secular force, Tesla did not have any extraordinary resources at the beginning, so the family's power in the extraordinary world was not strong.

If, over such a long period of time, there had been an ancestor who devoted himself to the pursuit of extraordinary power, allowing the entire Tesla family to have an elder of Sequence 2 or above, then would Tesla's fate in Backlund not be as passive as it is now?

But there are no ifs in reality. Sander understood why Tesla had come to this point, but he couldn't think of a better solution now. As an extraordinary force centered on the "universalist" path, the Tesla family had no shortage of connections and wealth in both the ordinary world and the extraordinary world; as a family whose competitiveness was in making extraordinary items and inventing technology, Tesla lacked high-end combat power that could provide them with an umbrella of protection during the friction between large forces.

Today's Tesla has not become a "craftsman" controlled and oppressed by a certain force and a tool for making extraordinary things, but is still a family company with autonomy and self-will. This is already a kind of luck, and Sander cannot make any accusations against his predecessors.

Another sigh.

Shining once told Sander that sighing all the time is not a good habit. Sander agreed with this, but he really couldn't change these habits. When he saw a pile of messes from the family to the company rushing to his desk, all he wanted to do was sigh, not wanting to do anything or care about anyone, just vomiting out his overwhelming resentment.

The severe situation did not allow Sander to waste too much time indulging in the memories of his ancestors. He finally sighed, put "Thus Spoke Kondra Tesla" back on the bookshelf, turned and left.

Before leaving, Leonard passed a date to Sander on behalf of the Church of Night, which would be Tesla's "date". In order to pay the Church of Night for more than 300 years of protection, Tesla had to raise the communicator as agreed.

This is definitely one of the most advanced ground communication technologies in the world. Sander is very confident in the project led by his sister. In terms of ordinary technology, even the Abraham Group is a few steps behind Tesla in this direction.

Unlike his sister Shining who has reached the pinnacle of technology, although Sander has a good academic background, his technical talent is not that outstanding. So he took on the operation of the entire family and company, allowing his sister Shining to better devote herself to technological research and development.

Fortunately, we have two people, Sander said with emotion. For her sister who is gradually going crazy in terms of technology, she really needs an old mother brother to cover her. According to the plan, Sander will leave the underground city and return to the ground before the [date]. He needs to maintain the normal order within the company in the ground world at this critical juncture to ensure that the [date] goes smoothly. All actions in the underground Hazel Street factory are left to Shining.

Before leaving, Sander decided to do a final inspection of the relevant facilities. After a tour, Sander, wearing a safety helmet, walked forward along the brand new secret track and came to the [Underground Well].

The construction robot was sliding along the edge of the platform, making final repairs. The on-site engineer quickly stood up to greet Sander, and then continued to work after greeting him.

The newly built platform is very solid, and it grows along an ancient track into the wide interior of the [Underground Well]. When the communicator is transported along the passage to the platform, it will connect to one of the two tracks on the wall of the [Underground Well], and then go up along the track all the way to the ground.

Sander leaned against the wall and looked upward. Above the huge well, new and old, large and small platforms and debris were stacked up higher, blocking Sander's view.

What is above the [ground well]?

Tesla did not participate in the "Underground Well" project at that time, so Sander did not have much information. A lot of the information was collected by him and his sister when they were looking for the Gales Library.

From his current experience, people on the ground don't know where the [underground well] is, and people underground don't know where the [underground well] is. In some investigations, Sander found many formations and spiritual walls that disrupted cognition on some of the most primitive closed platforms.

When the churches closed the [Underground Well], they also set up layers of mystical restrictions to block the exploration of the [Underground Well] above and below.

The location of [Hazel Street] is not that deep compared to the [Underground Well]. Sander can be sure that at least the churches are not afraid of the residents of the underground city, but are guarding against things under the [Underground Well].

What was beneath the [underground well]? Sander didn't know, and it didn't matter.

He only knew that the deeper you went into the underground city, the worse it was. The depth of [Hazel Street] was already very dangerous, but it was still sinking at a certain rate every year.

Will the [Hazel Street] Experimental Factory be swallowed up by this chaotic and evil land one day?

Xander sighed, and those disturbing thoughts about the future and the future once again shrouded his mind.

Unlike his predecessors, Sander cannot ignore these future confusions and crises and pass the buck to future generations to solve. He just needs to explore according to the teachings of "Thus Spoke Kondra Tesla". Because for Sander, these confusions and crises are exactly the problems he is facing now.

From the moment he began to learn from Mr. Condra's guidance, Sander felt that everything in the book seemed to have been explained. When he finished his studies and took over the Tesla family and company, he had to accept such a sad fact:

Conrad Tesla's mentorship had come to an end, but the future of the Tesla family was still in jeopardy.

There is no guidance to follow, no theory to rely on. The road left by his ancestors has come to an end, and the technology he left behind is already behind the times, but Tesla needs to keep moving forward.

For the sake of his family and loved ones, for the magic of electricity and magnetism, and for the 120,000 employees who follow Tesla around the world, Sander cannot let Tesla stop in his hands.

He leaned against the low wall and looked down. The strange and messy platform debris grew downwards, seemingly close at hand but out of reach. Sander remembered the countless adventures he and his sister had made into the depths of the underground city. They had come across the sword that split the Shining in two, and they had finally found the legendary lost Gales Library after a long search, the legendary place where the Mansteins' countless knowledge and prophecies were buried under the loess.

Construction robots moved along the platform, the low sounds of the machines echoing in the empty shaft, and the entire space was filled with a faint rumble.

Sighing again, Xander held onto his helmet and turned to leave.

In Manstein’s prophecy...will there be a weather vane to guide Tesla’s progress?
