Chapter 601: Chapter 426: The Ancient Ruins Full of Discordance_2

Leo Ray had seen this type of earthen fortress on the border battlefield before, built with the Earth System Magic—City Building Skill.

However, without a constant supply of magic power, they cannot last indefinitely.

From this, it is clear that the entrance to the actual ruin is located within this fortress.

On the other side, upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, Tina, Layne, and the others also nodded in hopeful anticipation.

“Of course, just don’t be too surprised when the time comes.”

Hearing that, Lord Asher smiled slightly, drawing on his magic wand from his storage ring and nodding at old Calvin.

Next, old Calvin’s aged face became serious, the wooden magic wand in his hand immediately shone with a bright earthy yellow light.

Then, there were rumbling tremors.

The impenetrable earthen fortress suddenly lifted a gate which opened the path to its interior.

At the same time, Lord Asher’s exploration team had also assembled completely.

Apart from him and Kelsey’s father Gael, the two Tier 4 powerhouses, and old Mage Carlvin who is at the Tier 3 Peak level.

There was also an elite mixed Tier 2 middle team, which not only included mages, archers, priests, and heavily armored infantry.

But, also five commanding officers at the Tier 3 senior powerhouse level.

“Alright, Mr. Christopher, let’s get moving.”

At the entrance of the earthen fortress, Asher waved his colorful magic wand and nodded again at Leo Ray.

Thus, under the leadership of the Lord of Viennas City Asher, Kelsey’s father Gael, and the old archaeologist Calvin-

Leo Ray and Tina, Layne, and the other ten knights, plus Taylor, Red Night, and Gideon Black under their cloaks, stepped into the great door of the earthen fortress.

The elite Tier 2 middle team was at the rear of their group.

Coming straight into the dim interior of the fortress, under the illumination of the Light Crystal Stone, Leo Ray took in the faintly damp smell of earth and noted-

After taking a few steps, at the front of their group, some mottled green broken walls had started to appear.

There were even a few broken giant stone towers scattered amongst them. Each with a cross-section nearly ten meters in diameter, their exact purpose was unclear.

However, these dirt-covered building ruins had apparently been uncovered not too long ago.

“Mr. Christopher, back then, while checking the progress of the first ancient ruin, I used several detection spells consecutively. My aim was to understand the layout of the first ruin, but unexpectedly, I detected a strange feedback from here.”

At this moment, an aged voice rang out, as Asher, who was leading the team, turned his head slightly and began to explain, “Just like that, after a series of investigations, I confirmed that there were indeed traces of ancient ruins here.”

Asher nodded slightly, gently touching the edge of a broken stone tower, and continued, “Originally, I was certain that these were part of the first unknown race ruins. After all, these two ruins are so close to each other. However, it was not until I found the entrance to the ruins that I realized how wrong I was…”

Saying this, Asher stopped in his tracks, standing motionless, as if observing something.

On the other side, listening to Asher’s explanation, confusion was evident on Leo Ray’s face.

He had naturally considered this question before.

Just as Asher had said, given the close proximity of the two locations-

Logically, no matter how you think about it, this second ancient ruin should belong to the same race as the first one.

Or rather, that were supposed to be part of the same entity.

So, how did they determine that these are two completely different ancient ruins?

Were they judging based on the architectural style of the ruins? The relief carvings? Or other clues?

Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this-

Following in the footsteps of Asher and the others, he had already arrived at the edge of a gigantic round pit.

Given the fresh piles of dirt around it, it had clearly not been dug out for long.

Noting this, Leo Ray narrowed his eyes and started observing.

At the very center of the deep pit, a series of bizarre aqua-colored structures appeared, resembling a staircase.

Upon closer examination, the width of this structure was over twenty meters.

And on the flat roof, every four to five meters, there appeared a nearly two-meter-high vertical slope, repeating in this cycle, extending down to the unseen depths below.

However, this type of building didn’t have any windows or doors, it appeared unusually strange.

It somewhat resembled a terraced field in the mountains, and it also seemed like a bare spectators’ stand, all in all, it was totally out of place.

“Is this the entrance to the ruins? Where’s the door?”

At this moment, Tina, who was standing by Leo Ray’s side, flipped up the visor of her knight’s helmet, unveiling her delicate face, and asked with a puzzled expression.

Subsequently, the other knights also did the same and bore expressions of confusion.

Undoubtedly, they were seeing this strange architecture for the first time.

“Indeed, such ancient ruins are unheard of.”

After contemplating for a moment, Layne, clad in black armor and keeping a vigilance posture with his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, muttered to himself.

“I got it! This is actually a huge staircase!”

In the blink of an eye, Tia, standing nearby, seemed to have realized something, and blurted out excitedly.

“Silence, Tia. Don’t blabber nonsenses.”

Hearing this, Tina furrowed her brows and whispered a hint, “How could there be a staircase taller than a person?”

“Well, don’t rush to deny it. What that young lady knight just said is not wrong.”

On the other side, Lord Asher Porter of Viennas City slightly smiled, then confirmed, “This is indeed a staircase leading to the actual entrance of the ruins!”

“What?”

Hearing this, the clashing sound of the armor rang out, and the knights couldn’t help but start looking at each other.

Meanwhile, Leo Ray wore a thoughtful expression, continuing to listen to Asher’s words.

“Now, let Master Calvin tell you all about the race that belongs to these ruins.”

Seeing the surprised looks on the knights’ faces, Lord Asher Porter continued to speak cheerfully.

“Gentlemen, according to my research from the ancient books and numerous documents, plus with the current scene, the answer is already pretty obvious.”

After making a slight bow to Asher, the Old Mage Carlvin, stroking his white beard, stated, “The race to which these ruins belong, is indeed the Titan Tribe!”

“The Titan Tribe? Isn’t that the mythical race that only appears in the songs and tales of the wandering poets? Do they really exist?”

Hearing this, Tina was taken aback. The visor of the knight’s helmet that had just been lifted accidentally fell back down, making a ‘crack’ sound.

The rest of the knights, including Tia who had already half guessed the answer, were also quite shocked.

On the other side, the crisp voice of Red Night, deliberately suppressed, had already started resonating in Leo Ray’s ear through mind talk, “My lord, I have carefully checked, these are indeed ancient ruins left behind by the Titan Clan.”

Without a doubt, when it came to Red Night, a member of the Dragon Clan, with her long lifespan, the knowledge she held, like the energy within her, could only be described as boundless.

“So, it really is the Titan Clan, huh?”

Looking at Red Night’s slender figure standing afar, atop the broken tower, Leo Ray slowly nodded his head.

He had heard about this special humanoid race from Jasper Richardson.

The Titan Clan, also known as the Giant Tribe.

The height of the adult males could easily reach 10 meters, they were born warriors and strongmen, and likewise, they could become stronger through cultivation.

Just by their strength, an ordinary Titan of Tier First could easily surpass an ordinary powerhouse of Tier Third. Their destructive power was indeed astonishing.

Moreover, the Titans possessed extremely formidable self-healing abilities. As long as the important parts like the head and heart were not injured, they could virtually carry out self-repair.

Thinking of this, Leo Ray seemed to realize something and his expression suddenly revealed a look of sudden enlightenment.
