Chapter 1565: Reinforcing the Army
Gilbert, Ralph, Prand, and the other Rank Four mages of the Magus Civilization all possessed deep expertise in inert energy crystals and mineral exploration.
Exploring and excavating ancient ruins, however, was not their specialty.
Finding an ancient civilization site buried deep within Blue Star’s core was pure coincidence.
That was why Gilbert insisted that Sein report the discovery to the Magus Civilization immediately and wait for a more specialized investigation team.
“Ancient ruins like these rarely exist on their own, especially when those of a top-tier civilization. Once you find one, you’re bound to discover a second, third, and many more in the surrounding star domain...
“Given this, we suspect there are more waiting to be uncovered in the neighboring star domains. Perhaps this is even connected to the inert crystals we found around this region?” Gilbert wondered aloud.
“Inert crystals are extremely rare. Our Magus Civilization spans a massive territory, overseeing tens of thousands of complete planes and countless ordinary planetary planes under our influence.
“Despite all that, the number of inert energy crystals we have found within our own domain is shockingly small. Once in a while, we discover a small vein, but the reserves are always meager. There’s definitely a deeper problem and a secret hidden here,” another Rank Four elder added excitedly.
Their words hit Sein one after another like a barrage of blows, leaving him momentarily dazed.
His mission with Master Gilbert and the others had simply been to survey Gray Quartz veins in the nearby star domain. This task was clearly of great importance to the Magus Civilization’s leadership.
Yet now, before they even properly began mining, they had stumbled upon a strange secret realm that appeared to be the ruins of a top-tier civilization?
Sein swept his gaze across the site again, focusing especially on the faint energy membrane overhead, then took a slow, steady breath.
