Chapter 527: Chapter 45: Wishing the Planner a Long Life of a Hundred Years!
"Is that a detection device that you developed yourself?"
Anvis looked at the device in Orbins’s hands with some surprise and nodded, affirming his conclusion.
"You’re right, that’s a feature of the Radiant Secret Realm. The Ninth Rank nobles of the Empire have almost all specifically studied this place. The opening of the Secret Realm is caused by a rare space-time change.
Among them, the most famous analysis paper ’Seven Wave Patterns of Space-Time Superstrings’ was authored by your mentor, His Excellency the Space-Time Ring."
While Anvis spoke softly to explain, others were eager to step inside with their followers.
There’s a time limit to enter the Radiant Ruins, so hesitating at the entrance is senseless. Anvis was only waiting under the guise of introducing the place to the three people behind him, anticipating a certain Prince to enter first.
"...Alright, let’s go in too,"
After Prince Lanno entered with his followers, Anvis waited for a few more to step into the entrance of the ruins. Finally, under the protection of multiple Ninth Rank individuals, he and his own followers entered ’the door’.
Inside the entrance was a bizarre, shimmering tunnel, where everyone’s perception felt as if space-time was infinitely stretched, and their bodies became thinner and thinner until they were nearly as slender as silk threads with thickness approaching zero.
In this strange state, their consciousness gradually sunk into chaos, letting their bodies drift with the flow.
As if they went through eons, yet it seemed like only an instant, a bright flash of white light passed by, and the rules of space-time returned to normal.
As his senses gradually recovered, Anvis’s eyes refocused.
He looked around at the surroundings; the sky was a layer of shimmering grey-white while the ground was ordinary soil and primitive forest. Several pieces of ruins covered in moss lay scattered among the towering trees.
Framed by distant mountains was a clearly weathered ancient city ruin standing tall.
Although far away, Anvis could clearly see that the city had no outer walls. It was evident that the civilization which built this city did not have any enemies that required defense by city walls during that period.
Between those old iron-grey walls and broken pillars, huge statues lay toppled, silently narrating the glory that once existed here.
Anvis could see that there were shining objects, adorning the surfaces of those statues.
In the center of the distant city, an odd, massive spire stabbed straight into the sky like a sword piercing the heavens, as if mortals were attempting to climb to Heaven by it.
After briefly scanning the area with his concealed spiritual power, Anvis, finding no new discoveries, set his sights on the city ruins as a target.
This Secret Realm seemed to suppress spiritual power. As an Eighth Rank powerhouse, Anvis could only sense an area with a radius of nearly one kilometer when he strained his spiritual power, which was even less than a Fifth Rank outside.
However, Anvis was clear in his mind that with the help of those stone tablet fragments, the landing spots of him and the people of Lanno wouldn’t differ too much.
In other words, they had a very high likelihood of being able to see the city too, or even landing directly in it.
He did a divination on the position of many stone tablet fragment holders and, holding a fragment in his hand, Anvis soon sensed the specific locations of Orbins and the Last Dragon Descendant.
One was to his west, the other to his northeast; neither was too far away.
The location of Xia Ye Yinghuo was quite distant from him. The guidance of the prophecy emanated from the direction of the city ruins; it was unknown where she had landed.
Without further hesitation, Anvis pulled out an Alchemy Shuttle and set off toward the Last Dragon Descendant first.
The photographer must not be allowed to escape.
....
At this moment, the Last Dragon Descendant, still not quite understanding the specific environment of this place, was questioning their life choices.
After descending, the Elf wasn’t surprised to find that the system notification indicated they were on a special map and the live streaming feature was disabled.
To temporarily enable the special map live streaming function here... it would cost 6480 yuan!
Seeing this number, the Elf was completely dumbfounded.
Did they see him spending a lot, so they treated him like a fat sheep to be slaughtered?
Indeed, due to a large severance package from his former team, the Last Dragon Descendant was quite generous with in-game purchases in Mysterious Era, and his total spending had already exceeded 100,000.
But just because he was willing to spend didn’t mean he was stupid or had too much money to waste.
"...Are these measly planners out of their minds with greed?"
But looking at the system pop-up asking whether to enable live streaming, the Last Dragon Descendant still suppressed the urge to curse and clicked confirm to pay.
’Thank you for your patronage, we wish you a pleasant gaming experience——’
Seeing the system notification after payment and the increase in his spending history, the Last Dragon Descendant’s eyelids twitched violently, feeling an indescribable sense of irony.
He could only console himself that even if he launched a Chain Lightning that hit the planner’s house, it probably would only shock once, as there would be no second unit for conduction.
After adjusting his mindset, the Last Dragon Descendant revved up his spirits and began to look around the environment of the Radiant Ruins.
A gray and foggy sky, the dried-up ancient riverbeds, the desolate rock and gravel Gobi, the distant mountains, and the ancient city ruins between them.
"Hello everyone, I am the former captain of the White Light team, the Last Dragon Descendant, and the place I am currently located is the legendary Radiant Ruins. This is one of the Gloria Empire’s exclusive Secret Realms, with a suggested Challenge Level of 40 to 89.
And the cost for me to get an opportunity to explore here was incredibly high. Just turning on the live streaming function here alone cost me 6480 in cash!"
"Let’s all read this together, wishing the planners good health and long life."
After a proficient introduction, the Last Dragon Descendant cheered up and set off towards the mountains as well.
As everyone knows, swearing and cursing game officials will be censored, so players have become accustomed to giving blessings instead.
At this moment, in another world, with the efforts of the White Light Club’s promotion, tens of thousands of people were waiting for the moment when the Last Dragon Descendant started the live stream.
Among these viewers, there were many from other major clubs’ plot analysts and professional players, as well as high-level storyline players who understand the significance of the term ’Radiant Secret Realm’.
Finally, when the Last Dragon Descendant started the live stream, everyone was extremely excited, and the barrage instantly got flooded.
"Here it comes!"
"GKD! GKD!"
"Front row selling peanuts, sunflower seeds, cola, Molotov cocktails..."
At this time, many club players had already started recording, planning to go back and study in detail all the various snippets of information revealed in the Last Dragon Descendant’s live stream.
And hearing the last sentence of the Elf’s opening remarks, everyone quickly reacted, filling the barrage with a lively atmosphere.
After all, the Elf paid for the live stream, and now they could watch it for free, rounding up as if everyone freeloaded on a video worth thousands, they felt just as happy.
"Wishing the planners a long life!"
"Wishing the planners good health! Long live! Destined to poverty!"
