Chapter 569

"Nokote?"

Nokote shook his head and said.

"I suggest that you, Lisha-sama, do not go there."

"Huh? Why?"

Sheris shrugged and said helplessly to Lisha.

"Just now, Tirfa tried to play a prank on Teacher Bianca, but as soon as she stepped into the mist, she was knocked away by Teacher Bianca."

As he spoke, he gestured behind him.

There, Tirfa lay unconscious on the ground.

Seeing this, Lisha also slightly opened her mouth.

After the fog cleared, Luo Mio leisurely began to drink her wine.

For him, no matter how much he drinks now, he won't feel drunk.

Therefore, Luo Mio rarely goes back to drink.

Now, after a long absence, he took out the fine wine that Bella had brewed for him and savored it.

At that moment, Luo Mio's eyes suddenly moved.

'Are you out yet...?'

Then—

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble—!"

With a deafening roar that shook the heavens, the entire Ries Island began to shake violently, making Lisha and the others on the island feel as if the earth itself was trembling.

"What happened?!"

Then came the sound of a huge wave crashing against the sea and the sound of a machine driving like a dragon.

Upon hearing the sound, Luo Mio was the first to leave the bathhouse, quickly dressed, and went outside.

Her deep blue eyes looked straight toward the sea.

Before Luo Mio's eyes, a huge, fish-shaped airship, about the size of Ries Island, appeared in mid-air on the shore of Ries Island.

Behind Luo Mio, Relli also came out of the house.

Walking to Luo Mio's side, Relli looked at the seaside with unusual determination in her eyes and spoke in a very solemn voice.

"It's earlier than my scheduled time; I thought it would be later."

At this moment, behind the two, Lisha, Lux, Celestia and the other members of the 'Knight Order' also ran out of the house dressed in their costumes.

Seeing the enormous fish-shaped airship floating in mid-air, comparable in size to the entire Ries Island, they all showed expressions of utter shock.

"This is...?"

Relli turned around and looked at everyone, seeing Lux and the others on high alert, and slowly began to speak.

"Now that we've come to this point, it's time to tell you the real purpose of this training camp."

Under the moon, unlike the bright blue sea during the day, the ocean at night appears pitch black and deep, like the arms of a demon from hell slapping the surface.

Looking at the ship floating in mid-air, which was many times larger than the Kingdom Army, Lisha seemed to understand something and asked Relli a question while looking at the giant ship.

"Could what we're looking at be the 'Ark'...?"

Relli nodded and said to Relli.

"That's right, what lies before us is one of the three great ruins of the New Kingdom's territory, the 'Third Ruin - The Ark'!"

Upon hearing Relli's words, everyone present showed expressions of great surprise.

Among the members of the Knight Order ', very few have actually seen the 'Third Ruins: Ark'. Even those who know of its existence have only read about it in documents and books.

For example, Lisha, as the first Princess of the New Kingdom, had heard of the three major ruins within the New Kingdom.

Even Lux, who once served as a guard around the ruins, only ever caught a glimpse of the "Third Ruins - Ark" from afar once.

Because it is different from "First Ruins - Tower" and "Sixth Ruins - Small Garden".

The Third Ruins - The Ark can be described as a very special ruin.

Normally, the "Third Ruins - Ark" floats in the outer sea of the New Kingdom, and each time it appears, it changes its location according to a cycle.

This time, the location of the incident was Ries Island.

Furthermore, because it appears primarily in areas at sea, the New Kingdom's investigation into it has made no progress.

As the leader of the Knight Order ', Celestia was also very perceptive and understood Relli's meaning.

"Principal, do you mean the real purpose of this training camp is to investigate the 'Third Ruins - The Ark'?"

Relli smiled gently.

"That's right, the real purpose of this training camp is to investigate the 'Third Ruins - The Ark'."

"The Old Arcadia Empire once unleashed its deepest guardian from here— the Finality Godbeast 'Poseidon'!"

Some members of the Knight Order's who were unaware of the news were also surprised and looked at each other.

Lux, Celestia, and Risha, on the other hand, had very serious expressions.

Although they knew that Poseidon was released from the ruins by the Old Empire, they did not know which ruins Poseidon was released from.

Relli continued speaking.

"But in the previous incident, Bianca destroyed it in the Training Ground, so I think it's now possible to open the door to the deepest part of the ruins!"

Upon hearing these words, the members of the 'Knight Order' couldn't help but gasp, their faces showing utter shock.

"Besides intensive training in preparation for the 'All Dragon Battle' in the capital two months later, another purpose of coming to Ries Island is to carry out the secret order of the New Kingdom!"

"The 'Third Ruins - Ark' will remain anchored near Ries Island for about a week, and our mission during that time is to investigate the ruins!"

"This investigation will be led by Lisha, Lux, Celes, Philphi, Kurokushifa as the main members to investigate the interior of the ruins. Airi will serve as an administrative staff member to give us a detailed introduction to the interior of the ruins. Sheris, Tirfa, and Nokote will serve as the support members, specifically to protect Airi's safety."

"The others will use the entire Ries Island as a boundary to monitor and be alert for any unusual activity in the surrounding Sea Domain!"

"Given the current state of the New Kingdom, news of the 'Third Ruins - Ark' appearing in the Sea Domain Ries Island will probably spread very soon."

"You need to be vigilant, understand?"

"Understood!"

After saying that, Relli looked at Luo Mio.

At this moment, Luo Mio's azure gaze was fixed on the "Third Ruins - Ark," and she seemed to be lost in thought.

Noticing Relli's gaze, Luo Mio also looked away.

Just now, Luo Mio used the "Courage Crystal" to copy the entire internal structure of the "Third Ruins - Ark" into her mind, and then handed it over to Ai-chan to analyze the internal routes and some important regional structures of the ruins.

Turning her gaze back, Luo Mio looked at Relli.

All I heard was Relli say.

"The leader of this exploration of the ruins will be your Instructor Bianca, and the deputy leader will be you, Celes. In case of emergency, you can give important orders on behalf of Bianca."

Celestia nodded.

"Understood."

Afterwards, everyone returned to their respective rooms during the training camp, as it was already late at night.

Although there were many people in this training camp, fortunately, the rooms were all four-person or eight-person rooms, which was just enough to accommodate everyone in the 'Knight Order'.

Luo Mio's room was the same as the two-person room shared by Lux and Airi, and he slept in the same room as Relli.

Back in her room, Luo Mio looked at Relli standing by the window and then spoke softly.

"Lux should have realized Philphi's situation by now."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Relli also fell silent, her eyelids slightly lowered.

"Yeah..."

The soft murmur reached Luo Mio's ears as if no one else could hear it.

Luo Mio's ears twitched slightly.

Normally at this time, you could still hear students talking in the other rooms.

But at this moment, it was very quiet.

This is understandable, given that Relli's words were quite shocking to everyone.

To date, no one has ever reached the deepest part of any ancient ruin in the world.

Now, how could the students not be surprised by what Relli just said?

But Luo Mio knew that even if she wasn't there, Relli and the others would still be able to lead the team to open the gate to the deepest part of the ruins.

After all, they are the 'Key Administrator' of Kurokushifa.

Then Luo Mio's eyes also turned to the other side of the window.

That's... right in the direction of the monastery!

After glancing at her silently, Luo Mio looked away, turned around and lay back on her bed, then said to Relli.

"Alright, get some rest. You'll be busy tomorrow."

Looking at Luo Mio, Relli couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Her pale golden eyes looked at Luo Mio, a hint of envy in them...

Sometimes... I really envy you, Bianca...

'Possessing immense power... able to protect those they love.'

Thinking of this, Relli couldn't help but clench her fists.

Unlike her sister Philphi, Relli's dragon Adaptation value is only average, even inferior to Sheris and Tirfa.

Because she lacked power, Relli chose a different path.

For her, she would even give her life for Philphi.

Then, Relli turned her gaze to the "Third Ruins - Ark" floating in mid-air, her pale golden eyes revealing a very determined look.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Ouroboros and Holy Eclipse!!

It is located at the bow of the "Third Relic - Ark".

The members, each dressed in their own mecha dragon costumes, stood at the location they had been teleported to.

As the vanguard of the investigation team, everyone wore serious expressions and dared not be careless in the slightest.

Relli was also with them.

Then, a faint blue light began to appear in the teleportation circle where Luo Mio and the others were standing.

As everyone knows, this is a signal that is about to be transmitted to and inside the system!

The next second.

A blinding white light shot into the sky, filling everyone's vision.

After a few seconds of blurred consciousness, when they came to their senses again, they found themselves standing in a dark-looking place.

But when everyone looked inside the ruins, their eyes widened in surprise.

"What exactly is going on..."

As far as they could see, the surroundings were severely damaged, with craters everywhere and large amounts of broken inorganic matter scattered on the ground.

At this moment, Airi also spoke.

"According to the information recorded in the documents, this space is called the rest room, which means that we have now successfully entered the interior of the ruins."

Airi then continued to explain "The Third Ruins: The Ark" to everyone.

The overall structure of the "Third Ruins - Ark" is very simple.

According to the records, the ark was divided into eleven levels, and the portals and staircases leading to the next level were located at the bow and stern of the ark, respectively.
