Legend of the Elven Investigator

"Perhaps we need to do more research. This gate of the ruins must be supported by its inner strength. Maybe these three kinds of strength are just one of the conditions." It was actually the cool and handsome Leon who spoke, and he said to Ashley.

"It shouldn't be. Failure is abnormal. I will definitely find the reason." Ashley showed her stubbornness.

Shinpei tasted a little bit of familiarity from the conversation between the two.

These two guys seem to know each other.

"Should we continue to stay? My premonition is starting to flare up. It should be that guy from East, who is coming." At this time, Kaiya used superpowers to send a voice transmission to Zhenping.

The reason why the two came here, apart from assisting in the exploration of the ruins, was to use the special structure of the ruins to block the teleportation ability of the esoteric messenger and kill him here!

If you continue to wait, unknowable variables are likely to occur.

"Why don't we go out first, it's useless to stay here underground, isn't it?" Xiao Chuan, who had been feeling depressed all the time, suggested that everyone retreat to the camp before thinking about it.

"and many more."

At this time, Shinpei stopped the people who were about to retreat to the camp.He stepped forward slowly and put his hands on the bronze gate.

Although this bronze gate looks tight, there is actually a very thin crack in the center.

He wanted to verify his conjecture.

With a slight effort in his arm muscles, he suddenly felt that the bronze door he was pushing was slowly being pushed open by him as if there was no resistance.

The heavy bronze door made a creepy "squeak" sound.

In the eyes of others, this scene is extremely unbelievable. The weight of the bronze gate, which is more than ten meters high, is simply terrifying. Even a powerful elf like Wei Li cannot easily push it open.

However, Shinpei pushed it away with his own strength.

"Actually, you can also try it. This door is actually not that heavy, or its resistance is very small. I don't know why." Shinpei scratched his head and said helplessly.

He really didn't bother, just touched it slightly, and the door opened by itself.

"Is that so? You all have to record that the characteristics of this door are not as simple as it seems." Ashley ordered.

"It turns out that even if the door is opened, it needs someone to push it to open it completely. I'm so smart!" Xiao Chuan seemed to understand the reason at this moment, and smiled silly.

"Then next, we should go in..."

"I'll go in first, you follow." Although Leon didn't say anything impassioned, he was the first to go in, and the trainers behind him also released their elves and followed behind Leon.

Soon, a dozen or so trainers who followed, led by Leon, entered the bronze gate one after another.

Zhen Ping, who opened the bronze door at the beginning, stood at the door and stopped in his tracks.

Seeing that the crowd had all gone, leaving only Kaiya and Xiao Chuan, he changed his expression and asked directly, "Dr. Ashley, I still want to ask you, why did you find so many young trainers who are not very capable?"

"Or, in your eyes, what role do they play?"

The scene turned cold all of a sudden, Kaiya and Ogawa stared at Mapei who made the attack in astonishment, not understanding what happened.

Why, Shinpei has to severely reprimand the doctor?
"As expected of the investigator sent by Coulson, Mr. Shinpei, your senses are very keen, and you may have guessed some of my thoughts." Ashley twitched her side bangs, but the gentleness in her eyes disappeared without a trace.

"You don't know the danger of the ruins until you go in. Some ruins even have traps set by ancient civilizations. Once you enter, the traps activate, and those explorers will die."

"In order to develop this ruin, I need some pathfinders."

Dr. Ashley's tone was very casual, but the meaning in the words completely changed Shinpei's face.

"So in your eyes, are those trainers all pawns for exploring the path? Including the Lyon ranger? You should know each other."

"Don't worry, that guy's survivability is not ordinary. I'm very assured of him." Ashley said disapprovingly. That guy in Leon was not a forest ranger before, and his job was infinitely more dangerous than that of a forest ranger. It's not that easy to let him easily get trapped in this ruin.

Kaiya, who witnessed the conversation between the two, quietly clenched her hands. Even she didn't realize that something was wrong. She was planning to follow into the bronze gate just now. If it wasn't for Zhenping to question Ashley, she might have become the pathfinder in the other party's mouth.

hateful!

Kaiya felt a strong chill in her heart towards this beautiful woman, and the cruelty of the other party was simply appalling.

"Shina, if you don't stop this woman, those people are not prepared at all!" Xiao Chuan cursed angrily, planning to go in and call them back.

However, when Xiao Chuan poked his head inside the bronze gate, he was taken aback by what he saw.

Behind the bronze gate, there is another tunnel whose direction cannot be seen clearly.

In the dark tunnel, some kind of stone slabs with a blue luster lead to a deeper underground step by step.

"It's gone, they're all gone, how could it be possible that everyone just disappeared when the front foot went in?" Xiao Chuan screamed.

"I think it should be the result of some kind of space distortion. The moment we entered the bronze gate, the ruins have been transferred to another space, creating an appearance similar to space teleportation."

"Not bad, I appreciate you even more. With your help, my confidence in developing this ruin has increased." Ashley clapped her hands, expressing her admiration.

This investigator was able to deduce a part of the truth based on what he saw and some details without any prior intelligence, and his level of ability was already very outstanding.

"So, are you going to stop me? Shinpei... Investigator?" Ashley smiled playfully.

"What do you two mean? It's like guessing a riddle. Shinpei, you don't really intend to help this vicious woman, do you?" Xiao Chuan was puzzled. In his opinion, using these trainers to find his own way like Ashley is enough to spend a lifetime in the prison of the alliance.

Why did my companion hesitate at the moment.

"That's because this woman's behavior is completely supported or acquiesced by the alliance. Otherwise, her mission would not be released at all. Am I right, doctor?"

Kaiya, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke the truth.

Ashley didn't make a hypocritical rebuttal, but just nodded: "The Alliance has already paid for these prices. In the past, when the Alliance developed the relics, they used the investigators they trained to fill them in. But this time, I suggested to my superiors that we can recruit some trainers from the Elf Center to participate in the development of the relics."

At this time, Shinpei finally understood why the Spirit Center released such a high-risk confidential mission.

"I have one last question. What do the totem characters written on the gate mean?" Shinpei stared at the ruthless woman and said loudly.

Ashley was also very cooperative, and said directly: "I can't translate some of the text, but I have already translated it, so it's okay to tell you. What is written on the door is——"

"The meteor that came from the sky fell into the darkness and sank."

"Rest in peace in this eternal ??."

"Eternal what? The most critical part, can't be deciphered?" Shinpei thought about the authenticity of the other party's words, and if he acted with such a person, he might be discarded as a chess piece by the other party if he was a little careless.

Ashley shook her head helplessly, her pitiful expression was rather innocent.

"Okay, I'll trust you for now, but you still have to do it yourself to explore the ruins!"

After Shinpei asked the last question, he grabbed Ashley's arm involuntarily and led her into the bronze gate.

At this time, the face of the calm and extraordinary doctor of archaeology finally revealed a trace of uncontrollable consternation, but with her skill, it was obvious that she could not be Zhenping's opponent. After a little struggle, the two directly entered the bronze gate.

"Go in even though you know it's dangerous inside, forget it, there are enemies chasing you when you go back, why don't you go in and have a look." Kaiya said, also following Shinpei's footsteps and stepping into the gate.

In the empty underground cave, Xiao Chuan was the only one left at this moment.

Wearing only a combat robe, he felt an inexplicable chill down his back, and the claustrophobic feeling of living deep underground hit him again.

"Damn it's all gone, just leave me alone, I really can't finish with you!"

Xiao Chuan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and stepped in, and his figure disappeared behind the door.
