Chapter 273 The Lost Land
After entering the basement of Silverwood Manor.
Eric looked around and didn't find anything special.
The entire room was empty, with nothing in sight. There was no Frosty Gale Extinguish, nor was there that soul-crushing sense of oppression.
"Why is there nothing here? Could it be that my senses were wrong?" FlameDancer, seeing no monsters, sheathed her dagger back into the scabbard at her waist.
"I don't know, but there's definitely no danger here," Eric shook his head.
With more battles in Divine Realms: Legends, players' ability to sense danger gradually improved.
Experts in Divine Realms: Legends were even more sensitive.
And this ability to sense danger generally didn't fail.
"We should take a closer look," Eric said.
If they didn't solve this mystery, and something happened that scared the NPCs who came to issue quests, it would be a disaster.
It wouldn't affect the players much; at worst, they'd die once, lose a level of experience and skill proficiency. But for NPCs, it was different. If they died, it was permanent. The main System wouldn't restore them.
So, they had to solve this problem, or else the manor would be as good as useless.
After searching for more than ten minutes, the three of them didn't find anything. Not a single monster, not even a mouse.
But Eric didn't think the immense pressure they felt earlier was an illusion. He had felt it before, but couldn't recall when.
After searching for a long time without any clues, Eric and the others had to go upstairs.
"What's going on?" Rosewater was shocked by the scene in front of her when they reached the upper floor.
Not only was Rosewater shocked, but Eric was also taken aback.
They had returned to the previous first-floor hall, but the scene had completely changed. It was no longer an empty, dilapidated hall but a complex labyrinthine corridor, as if they had arrived in another place, completely different from the previous Silverwood Manor.
At this moment, the System also issued a prompt.
System: Discovered the Lost Land, all connections between players and the outside world are temporarily closed.
"So that's what happened," Eric suddenly realized. Now he understood why the manor's owners had all vanished one by one; they had been transported to this place.
"Guild Leader, the return scrolls can't be used," FlameDancer frowned slightly, "just like in Ordeal of the Divine."
"It seems this place is really not simple," Eric began to scrutinize the surroundings.
Eric had encountered many such situations in his previous life, like when he entered the Lost Land shortly after starting Divine Realms: Legends and obtained the Demonic Weapon Abyssal Blade.
Although this Lost Land was different from the previous one, it was similar. They probably had to complete a certain task to leave. However, in the Lost Land, there were task prompts, but here, there were none.
So, the three of them entered the maze and began to explore the map.
The map was incredibly large. Even after wandering for six or seven hours, Eric hadn't finished exploring it. Finally, they decided to split up to explore, as they hadn't encountered any danger, and this would be more efficient.
Unknowingly, a day had passed.
It wasn't until the second day that Rosewater discovered something new in the area she was exploring.
It was a large magic circle. Based on the guesses of Eric and Rosewater, both Elementalists, it was a fifth-tier or higher magic circle. However, even the experienced Eric couldn't figure out what it was for, unless there was a fifth-tier Saint Wizard or a sixth-tier Archmage Primearc present.
After another day of exploration, FlameDancer discovered a second magic circle, identical to the first one. Besides that, there was nothing else, not even a single monster, and no task prompts.
Rosewater even considered giving up and just killing herself to return to the city.
In such a desolate and silent place, where they couldn't level up or complete tasks, it was a complete waste of time. As a guild manager, she couldn't afford to waste so much time here, especially since the guild had a base now, and she had many things to do.
However, Eric persuaded Rosewater against it.
Because even if Rosewater killed herself, there was no guarantee she could return. If she couldn't, and lost a level, it would be a disaster.
Rosewater had no choice but to give up on the idea and continue exploring the Lost Land.
On the third day in the Lost Land, Eric finally explored most of it and discovered three more magic circles, making a total of five fifth-tier magic circles.
The three of them then gathered and shared their map information.
The moment they exchanged map information, the System issued another prompt.
System: Activated unique quest "Sacred Unbinding," break the seal of the Lost Land, reward unknown.
"Break the seal? They don't even tell us how. What are we supposed to do?" FlameDancer's beautiful eyes widened in frustration.
After spending three days here, they were given this task without any hints. It was infuriating.
"It should be here," Eric pointed to the center of the map where the five magic circles were located. "Magic circles require magic power to operate, and the power usually comes from magic crystals. But there are no magic crystals in the five magic circles. They seem to be drawing power from a single source. We've explored the surroundings of the Lost Land, and the only area we haven't explored is the central region. The most likely place is the center of the Lost Land. If we destroy the central magic crystal, we should be able to complete the task."
"Guild Leader, I didn't know you were so knowledgeable about magic circles. I'm starting to suspect you're not a Swordsman but an Elementalist or Sorcerer," Rosewater teased.
"I just happened to study it a bit. The library in Silvervale City has a lot of books on this topic. If you read all the books in the Silvervale City library, you'd be even better than me," Eric laughed.
"The library, huh? I'd love to go, but you need a pass. Since you said so, you have to be responsible," Rosewater knew the importance of the library. For an Elementalist to learn more powerful skills, the best way was to go to the library. But without a pass, she could only slowly increase her reputation in Silvervale City.
"Alright, I'll get you a library pass once we get out," Eric chuckled.
As Demonbane, he could easily get a pass to enter the library anytime. Now, as a Viscount of Silvervale City and a high-ranking noble, getting a few library passes was no problem.
The three of them then headed to the central area of the Lost Land.
Four hours later, they arrived outside the central area. To get in, they had to pass through a long crystal corridor. However, at the entrance of the crystal corridor, a three-headed giant wolf made of blue crystal blocked their way.
"So there are monsters here after all," FlameDancer's eyes lit up with interest at the sight of the three-headed crystal giant wolf. After days without a fight, she was itching for some action.
