Mogruke's Ruins
Inside the circular room, Landen found a separate passage leading downward, connecting to the ruins' Magic Furnace chamber. The Magic Furnace here was about the same size as the one at Iron Mine. But inside the chamber, Landen saw a large number of blue crystals—the same kind that powered the Goblin cannons. Only, the quality of the crystals in the Magic Furnace chamber was far superior to the ones the Goblins carried.
"No wonder those Goblins could fire without caring about the cost. So they've got a mine and can make as many as they want?" Landen looked at the crystals before him and muttered under his breath. "So there might not necessarily be a ley line underground here. It could very well be this kind of mineral vein, using crystals to store mana and achieve an effect similar to a ley line?"
Now that he had found the Magic Furnace, Landen felt much more assured. In the worst-case scenario, he could still use the existing teleportation gate core components to return to Night-Kirin City.
"Landen, there seem to be some patterns on this room too. Come take a look!" Blaze found a not particularly large space near the Magic Furnace chamber. Its area was very similar to the emergency communication rooms they had seen before, and there were even large stretches of magic arrays on the walls. Only, the arrays here were more like the ones Landen had seen on Goblin artillery, in that circuit-diagram style.
Around the room, some Goblin paintings could be seen. These paintings had been exquisitely printed onto metal plates and arranged neatly along the walls.
"Heh, now this is interesting," Landen said with a smile. "Right beside the Magic Furnace, instead of building a teleportation gate or a control room, they actually
