Capítulo 2466: Chapter 1363: Delving Deeper and Amazement (Part 2)
Upon hearing the confirmation from the Old Half-Elf, Ruth’s starry eyes lit up. She first instructed the Light Half-Elf experts to prepare for spell casting, then nodded heavily at Leo Ray, clearly seeking permission, as Leo Ray was the highest commander here.
“Then please begin.”
Leo Ray shrugged his shoulders and took a step back.
Upon receiving Leo Ray’s consent, Ruth calmed her mind and rejoined the ranks of the Light Half-Elf experts.
Soon, a gentle and melodious team chanting echoed. Ruth and the other Light Half-Elves were quickly enveloped in a layer of faint golden halo, appearing even more sacred and exalted under the cool moonlight.
Adding to the fact that the Half-Elf Tribe is renowned for their beauty, the entire scene seemed dreamlike, imbued with an epic essence.
“If mere Light Half-Elves are like this, it is unimaginable what the real Light Elves would look like.”
Just as Leo Ray thought this, an energy wave surged out from Ruth and the other Light Half-Elves, flying straight toward the pitch-black passage entrance.
Where the energy wave passed, the originally dark, ancient passage was also covered with a golden halo, instantly glowing brightly everywhere.
Under the golden halo, deep magical arrays surrounded by black mist began to appear on the inside of the passage, evident as the ancient Dark Elves’ magic traps.
“So it is a detection magic, truly effective.”
Looking at the passively revealed series of ancient magic arrays, Leo Ray raised his eyebrow gently.
From the increasingly thin black mist on these magic arrays’ surface, it seems this detection magic also has the effect of suppressing magic traps.
Afterward, Ruth and her team immediately began to break them, and it did not take long for the black mist arrays scattered throughout the passage to vanish, as if they never existed.
Seeing this, Leo Ray, along with Fanny, Crisis, and Broy, exchanged glances.
No wonder they are entities that suppress the Dark Elves’ attributes; their speed in wiping out the arrays is exceedingly swift. If handled by us alone, it would likely take at least three times the time.
Only Elusa and Teresa maintained a look of indignation; however, they had already confirmed with Leo Ray that those black mist arrays indeed were permeated with the Dark Elf Race’s aura and were genuinely in the process of dismantling, without any other tricks.
“Your Majesty of the Humans, you may pass through this passage now.”
Soon, Ruth returned to stand in front of Leo Ray, and judging by the subtle rise and fall of her chest, it was evidently not as relaxed as we perceived it.
“Then I’ll trouble Your Excellency to lead the way.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly and then began to walk toward the inside of the ancient passage under her guidance.
Upon entering the ancient passage, a humid and ancient atmosphere immediately greeted them.
Observing the time-weathered marks on the surrounding cave walls, Leo Ray looked around.
The inside of the passage was much more spacious than seen outside, able to accommodate five people walking side by side without feeling crowded.
Moreover, despite the Three Thousand Years of age, neither the stone cave walls nor the floor showed any cracks, indicating the ancient Dark Elves’ impressive strength.
Within the advancing group, especially Elusa and Teresa, displayed a solemn and respectful demeanor, carefully observing everything around.
It is worth noting that the number of Ancient Dark Elf Ruins discovered in the Outer Region is quite limited, and those truly controlled by the contemporary Dark Elf Kingdom are even rarer, all under strict protection.
In other words, even they had never seen true Ancient Dark Elf Ruins, thus feeling great curiosity and reverence, as this was a world once pioneered by their ancestors.
Following the group’s footsteps, they traveled approximately a hundred meters before the view suddenly opened up.
However, everything remained shrouded in a thick shadow due to the dim lighting.
Through the automatically activated night vision effect, Leo Ray further noticed.
The place was extremely vast, even so much that the night vision couldn’t fully cover it; far away was a haze, preventing a full view.
But it was certain that the size of this ancient mine was evidently much larger than anticipated, even reaching an unimaginable scale.
“Your Majesty of the Humans, this is the true location of the Dark Elves’ mine.”
Ruth nodded at Leo Ray and then asked, “Your Majesty of the Humans, I plan to completely light up this area first, which will assist the subsequent detection. Please prepare.”
“Understood, proceed as you see fit.”
Leo Ray gradually summoned the energy within, preparing to observe the mine’s full expanse.
Ruth’s crisp chanting sounded, and in the blink of an eye, a fist-sized light sphere began to appear at the top of her magic wand, then started to rise slowly, floating towards the front of the mine.
During the floating process, the small light sphere began to expand and soon illuminated the whole area like the rising sun.
“By goodness, this is the full view of the Ancient Dark Elf Mine?”
As the light intensified, Leo Ray’s vision gradually became clearer, and he couldn’t help but exclaim.
This was more than just an ancient mine; it was like an enormous underground city.
The center area of the mine had been completely hollowed, extending deep underground, resembling a bottomless artificial abyss.
Around the abyss were tiered mining zones, densely packed and dizzying.
These mining zones located at different strata were clearly layered and interconnected, each layer seemingly endless, with tracks running through, heaps of boulders, weathered mine carts, and numerous scattered mining tools, all rusted and dilapidated, with many ore piles in the corners.
Judging by the chaos, the Dark Elves evidently left very hurriedly, unable even to retrieve their last harvest.
The group was currently on the top layer of the mine, offering a complete view, and in comparison to the mine, the several dozen people appeared as small as scattered sesame seeds, insignificant.
“Never expected such a colossal scale; this could accommodate millions of Dark Elves mining simultaneously, right?”
Beside Leo Ray, Crisis flapped her wings and involuntarily swallowed.
Even combining the entire Fairy’s capital, it likely wouldn’t be half the size of this mine.
“Indeed, even the largest mine of the present-day Dwarf Clan might not compare to this.”
Fanny, displaying the same demeanor, nodded in agreement.
As for the rest of our group and the Light Half-Elf and Dragonborn experts, including Ruth herself, all showed expressions of astonishment, evidently not expecting such an astounding scale here.
“Your Excellency Ruth, how do you propose we proceed next?”
Leo Ray gathered his thoughts and asked the Light Half-Elf beside him.
“Your Majesty of the Humans, although the mine is vast, it couldn’t possibly be filled with traps everywhere.”
Ruth first took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, then nodded at Leo Ray and said, “According to what we understand, traps should be distributed in various mine tunnel corridors, miners’ living quarters, and tool storage areas. As for the self-destructing magic arrays, they should be deployed in the mine’s central management area.”
“So, Your Majesty of the Humans, rest assured, once we understand the mine’s structure, everything will fall into place. These magic traps are already neglected due to age, and with our power, they will soon be completely removed.”
However, before Ruth finished speaking, an unexpected change occurred.
