Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Capítulo 2468: Chapter 1364: Astonishment and Mutation (Part 2)

These shallowly mined ores are quite common and not significant resources, so Leo Ray didn’t bother to collect them one by one, allowing the batch-entered personnel to gather them later.

What concerned Leo Ray the most was the scene of the mine itself.

Initially, Leo Ray thought that the Dark Elves were apparently in a great hurry when they left, so much so that they didn’t have time to pack up their final results and mining tools.

But as his observation deepened, Leo Ray discovered further.

Rather than saying the Dark Elves left in a great hurry, it seemed the Dark Elves suddenly disappeared in place in the mine, because many mining carts were blocking crucial passage entrances, which clearly defied logic.

It’s imaginable, based on the number of tools scattered on the ground and the scale of the mining carts, that the number of Dark Elves mining here must have been enormous.

If there was a fast evacuation due to some sudden event, the blocking mining carts should have been pushed away to clear the evacuation route; how could they remain unmoved in place?

“Your Majesty, there’s indeed a strong sense of incongruity here.”

Elder Bing’s old face was filled with solemnity, frowning: “Not only are many mining carts blocking crucial passage entrances, but there’s also no trace of footprints from the Dark Elves present, which is simply perplexing.”

“Elder Bing, you may not know, while the positions of the mining carts are indeed noteworthy, which doesn’t align with a hurried evacuation by the Dark Elves, the absence of footprints isn’t a rare occurrence.”

Grey Elder stroked his graying beard, explaining: “According to the Lost Relic Effect, in ancient relics from the Era of Blankness, there have never been any ancient corpses found, nor any normal ancient footprints.”

“No normal ancient footprints were ever found?”

Elder Bing, hearing this, had a tinge of confusion on his old face, apparently knowing very little about these mysterious effects left behind from the Era of Blankness, having not long awoken from Ice Stone City.

“Yes, whether in the Human Domain or in the vast Outer Region, most ancient relics from before the Era of Blankness don’t have any footprints present, just like here. A few places have disorderly footprints, such as footprints appearing not on the ground but on walls or even ceilings, and many footprints are not symmetrical.”

Grey Elder nodded heavily, responding: “Because this odd disappearance mirrors the non-existence of ancient corpses, it has been included in the Lost Relic Effect, which has now become a consensus among the Ten Thousand Clans.”

After Grey Elder spoke, Broy, Crisis, and Fanny all nodded accordingly, clearly well-informed.

As for Leo Ray, who has studied these mysterious effects quite a bit, he naturally knew this.

“Not only no ancient corpses, but no footprints either? And there are even some disordered and misplaced footprints, becoming more and more puzzling.”

The confusion on Elder Bing’s old face became more apparent, and he looked at Leo Ray again: “Your Majesty, what exactly is going on here?”

“Unfortunately, it’s still a mystery; no one knows why ancient corpses and footprints disappear or where they went, but these simply don’t exist in the present era.”

Leo Ray shrugged helplessly, responding: “As for the small number of misplaced and unordered footprints, some believe there’s some connection with Dislocated Objects, but it’s just speculation without any substantial evidence.”

Having said that, the helpless expression on Leo Ray’s face became even more apparent.

There is no denying that the disappearance of either corpses or footprints is indeed puzzling, truly one of the mysterious phenomena left by the Era of Blankness.

If the disappearance of the corpses could barely be explained by some powerful existence erasing them all, why do footprints also disappear? And how does the disordered and chaotic phenomenon occur?

“Your Majesty of the Humans, do you think the answer to the Lost Relic Effect might lie within this ancient mine? After all, judging from the current traces here, these mining Dark Elves also seem to have disappeared in place within the mine.”

Broy gently stroked his chin, pondering: “If we figure out how these ancient Dark Elves disappeared, perhaps we can understand the truth of the Lost Relic Effect.”

“The reasoning is indeed correct, but unfortunately, we have no way to start.”

Leo Ray looked at the scattered tools on the ground around him, shaking his head helplessly.

But just as Leo Ray’s words fell, a sudden change occurred.

The chaotic and ruined scene around them suddenly transformed. The dilapidated metal tracks became shiny, and the tilted, broken mining carts were all renewed, running automatically on the tracks. From the magic patterns flashing on the surface of the mining carts, it’s clear that some automatic operation spell was imbued on them.

What was even more astonishing was that not only did the scattered mining tools disappear, but numerous footprints appeared on the ground, and the crackling sound of mining veins echoed in their ears, sounding endless.

Although this all came quite abruptly, our group immediately realized that this was evidently the scene when the mine was still operating normally.

However, the group was currently in a hall connecting the mine and the resting area, with limited visibility, not having seen other things yet.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, did you, did you see it?”

Ruth, who was exploring at the front with Mallen and Nal, ran back with the others, her face full of astonishment: “Everything here suddenly looks brand new!”

“Could it be that we’ve traveled back in time?”

Broy almost hugged Leo Ray’s leg, his face equally filled with uncontainable astonishment.

“Absolutely not; there’s a faint illusionary aura suddenly spreading here.”

Leo Ray gently patted Broy’s shoulder, then spoke: “If I’m not mistaken, we should be caught in the scene of the mine from back then.”

Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, everyone focused their minds, channeling their internal energy to cope.

Sure enough, with the enhancement of their five senses, the ruined scene around them appeared faintly before them again, sharply contrasting with the sudden illusion, as if from two different worlds.

“As expected, it’s an illusion, and we haven’t found any traces of artificial manifestation. In that case, is this a naturally formed mirage?”

Fanny nodded thoughtfully, analyzing: “It seems very likely that our arrival altered the flow of energy here, thus triggering this sudden mirage!”

“Makes sense; since we can see the scene within the mine from back then, we certainly shouldn’t miss this opportunity.”

Leo Ray snapped his fingers lightly and proceeded toward the mine area outside the hall, saying: “This is the best chance to understand this mine further. If this mirage records the last period of the mine, we might discover some unknown secrets.”

“Your Majesty of the Humans is right; for instance, whether these ancient Dark Elves really disappeared suddenly and what they encountered in the end—as long as we get this clear, we will be a step closer to the truth of the Era of Blankness!”

Broy, with a look of eager anticipation, nodded heavily: “Even if we find nothing, it will greatly aid our understanding of the Silver Moon Era!”

After Broy spoke, Fanny, Crisis, and even Ruth, Nal, and others also nodded, their faces full of excitement.

Looking at everyone’s excited expressions, Leo Ray smiled faintly.

Since the Human Clan had only recently stepped into the Outer Region, he hadn’t yet shared the hidden Winged People’s Barrier Region within the Human Domain with everyone, as it truly could be called the living fossil of the Silver Moon Era.

“In any case, this opportunity is also extremely rare; let me take a good look at the true face of this ancient mine back then.”

Thinking this, Leo Ray had already passed through the passage they came through, returning to the vast area of the main mine.
