Chapter 213 Under the Abyss
Chapter 213 Under the Abyss
Soon, Bai Hao arrived above the ruins of the Krey Territory, followed closely by Olmya and many guards.
The first to resist the scene were the knights who were originally responsible for guarding the ruins. At this moment, some knights had already released special barrier magic and exploration spells above the ruins.
The Knight Commander came over to greet Bai Hao and Olmia immediately after exchanging pleasantries. He stared at the abyss below with some concern and said in a deep voice, "At that time, I was organizing the knights to set up a cordon around the ruins. I never thought that the ground would suddenly shake violently, and then an extremely serious collapse occurred!"
"The collapsed area is where the inner city of Kled was originally located, and the center is the Kled Library!"
"Library?" Bai Hao couldn't help but repeat these three words. After all, during the days in Kled Territory, the place Bai Hao went to most often was the underground floors of the library, because that was the magic stone information area.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Hao immediately said, "Is it possible that the collapse was caused by the empty underground part of the library?"
Bai Hao's guess was very logical, because anyone who had been to the library would know that the underground area of the entire library was much larger than the ground area, almost as large as several football fields, and its depth was nearly 100 meters.
The only underground space that can be compared with this one is the underground slave trading ground in the western suburbs of Krey Territory, and such a violent explosion occurred underground in the city of Krey Territory not long ago.
Therefore, it is very likely that the huge underground space of the library and the violent explosion not long ago combined to eventually lead to this large-scale collapse. After all, the center of the collapse was the library.
The Knight Commander nodded without comment, and then said, "I have sent more than a dozen earth elemental magician-class knights to find the reason. I believe we will know the answer soon."
Bai Hao also secretly opened the divine vision, and at the same time continued to inject sub-divine power into it, opening his eyes wide to see what was hidden under this huge bottomless gap.
But no matter how Bai Hao concentrated and looked, there was only darkness under the abyss, and there was no trace of any magical elements flowing, as if this was an abyss formed by a normal collapse.
Just as the Knight Commander said, several dusty earth elemental knights soon flew over to report the situation to them. These high-level mages could easily sense the changes in the soil around the abyss through their special earth elemental magic.
"The collapse here seems to be caused by the interaction between the previous underground explosion and the underground structure of the library. We did not find any strange elemental magic flow, but..."
An old knight who looked to be in his 50s or 60s said solemnly, "We also discovered that there were waves of continuous vibrations deep underground, but the amplitude was not high and was definitely not the cause of the collapse!"
"Regular vibrations?" Bai Hao couldn't help but ask, "And there's no flow of any magical elements?"
"Yes, this vibration sounds very regular, as if it is..." The old knight paused as if he was carefully considering his words, "like the beating of a living being's heart!"
Bai Hao immediately thought of the horrific existence buried under the Kled territory discussed in the previous meeting. This was most likely some super-large bloodthirsty monster. After all, its heartbeat could still be heard even though there were so many thick layers of soil between them.
While everyone was enthusiastically discussing the creatures underground, an old wood elemental wizard slowly flew over. Bai Hao had seen this old man with white hair and beard in the conference room not long ago. He was the father-in-law of the medical squad leader named Lyle.
This is a healing mage of the wood elemental great magician class. Although his medical skills are not as outrageous as the four elementalists of the Lunari sect around Bai Hao, he is definitely one of the best healing mages in Kled.
"Everyone, I was just digging around the abyss. After the collapse, I immediately used my secret method to feel the vibration deep underground."
Then the old wizard looked at the group of people around him and said loudly: "I can assure you that there is no living creature under the abyss. That regular vibration is definitely not from the heartbeat of life!"
The old wizard's words caused an uproar in Bai Hao and others. Originally, even Bai Hao himself believed that there must be some large creature dormant under the Kled territory, but the old wizard said with certainty that there was no creature at all.
"If there is no living thing, then what is this vibration..."
"Could it be that there is some strange magic ore underground!"
"No, I think this is definitely another conspiracy of Zang Yuan!"
"I know some mysterious black magic altars can also produce such vibrations."
"Could it be some special plant..."
Looking at everyone talking, Bai Hao felt that it was likely that he would need to hold another meeting, and he had to let Youla sit next to him again.
After all, there are too many possibilities for producing regular vibrations deep underground. Apart from the existence of living organisms, there are at least a dozen other possibilities.
While everyone was talking, Bai Hao keenly noticed that Olmia was frowning and looking into the abyss. The silence of this saint was out of tune with everyone else.
"It's Olmia, right? Wasn't it your sister who was controlling the body just now?" Bai Hao knew that the carefree Olmia would never make such a dignified and sad expression.
If it were Olmia, she would definitely glare at the abyss with bared teeth, and then join in the discussion with an exaggerated expression, or even loudly make some eye-catching and outrageous remarks.
"When the collapse happened just now, I thought there might be some danger so I asked my sister to come out temporarily."
Olmia looked at the abyss with a worried look on her face, and then she couldn't help but get closer to Bai Hao and said slowly: "I always feel that there is an existence under the abyss that I hate very much. This seems to be an evil existence that runs counter to the teachings of Bright Moon!"
"Disgust?" Bai Hao grasped the key words in Olmia's words, "Does this feeling come from the body or from the mind or soul?"
Olmia lowered her head and thought for a moment before sighing, "Both! If I have to be more specific, it's the exact opposite of how I feel when I'm close to Viscount Campbell!"
Bai Hao is now very clear that the more people believe in the Bright Moon Goddess, the happier they will feel when they are close to him. That is the comfort and excitement of the body, mind and even soul. If it is the opposite of this feeling...
Bai Hao subconsciously looked at the bottomless abyss, and a natural feeling of disgust came over him.
