Etaye--Long before humans first set foot on this land, a beautiful and prosperous elven city-state once stood here.
At its center is the palace of the Elven King Maglor.
However, suddenly one day, the residents of the city began to mysteriously die in large numbers.
According to legend, the Elf King McGlor himself felt that his death was coming.
So a powerful spell was released, allowing the surface of the earth to engulf the entire city-state, protecting it from desecration by outsiders.
And this is the treasure legend of the elf city-state Etaye.
"That's the elf city-state of Etaye? Although most human cities are built on elf ruins, it's really surprising that there is an unexplored ruin in such a wilderness."
Standing on a high slope, overlooking the dilapidated buildings in the distance, Professor Grogg could not restrain his inner excitement.
The place where the building is located looks like a crater.
And that building is located at the bottom of the crater.
If you are not standing at a high place, it is easy to overlook it.
The history of Etaye is not famous. After all, the entire city-state was swallowed up by powerful magic and there were no survivors.
Therefore, there is no official historical record about this elven city-state.
All the records related to Etaye are only fragments obtained from the records of other elven kingdoms.
Professor Grogg spent twenty or thirty years integrating all the parts about Etaye that were mentioned in the official history of the Elf Kingdom included in Oxenfurt University.
This allowed him to make a judgment:
--The location of the ruins of the elf city-state Etaye'e is probably located in the northeast of Oxenfurt, in an inaccessible wilderness.
In fact, to be honest, before coming here, Professor Grogg did not dare to be 100% sure that his judgment must be correct.
Because in Oxenfurt University, more than half of the professors in the Department of History, Elf Culture and Archeology do not agree with the efforts made by Professor Grogg.
All traceability should be based on official records.
If there are no official records, it means that there is no so-called Elf city-state of Etaye, let alone the legendary treasure left by the Elf King.
As for the other half of the professor team, they also felt that what Professor Grogg did was in vain.
They actually believe that the elf castle Etaye is real.
It's just that they felt that the location deduced by Professor Grogg was wrong.
That place cannot be at Redania.
Instead, it should be further north, such as near Dol Blathanna in Aedirn.
Dol Blathanna might even be the successor of the elf city-state Etaye.
And even if they are their own students, they do not support Professor Grogg unconditionally.
Therefore, along the way, Professor Grogg was in extreme anxiety every day.
He is facing unprecedented pressure.
I am even more afraid of my hopes being dashed.
But now, when the dilapidated ruins at the bottom of the basin came into view, Professor Grogg could finally put his heart back in his stomach.
He found it.
The elven city-state of Etaye.
When dusk gradually enveloped the world, under the nervous and expectant watching of Professor Grogg and others, Lynn began to take action.
Although the time this elven city-state sank beneath the surface of the earth is now unknown.
But out of caution, Professor Grogg asked Lynn to conduct investigation and exploration first.
After confirming that there is no danger, let the workers start working.
Professor Grogg does not have the bad habit of some elites who do not treat people at the bottom as human beings.
If possible, of course he still doesn't want to see anyone hurt and bleeding.
Lynn has no objection to Professor Grogg's request.
After all, when he accepted this commission, he had already considered all the risks in detail.
In the ruins, the biggest danger actually comes from traps.
But the demon hunter's enhanced senses are the natural nemesis of these traps.
Lynn First, observe in a circle around the ruins.
But he did not encounter the danger he expected.
So he started to move towards the ruins.
As the distance gets closer, the entirety of the ruins becomes clearer, appearing before Lynn's eyes.
It was not a whole city, but a palace.
Or to be more precise, it should be just a part of this palace.
The stone wall, which was originally supposed to be white, has been left with deep damage and traces on the surface by time.
In front of the steps, which are covered with greenery and covered with vines and soil, is a huge, heavy iron door.
The gate is stained with rust, filled with the vicissitudes and weight of history.
Lynn stopped where he was for a moment.
His witcher-enhanced senses were unresponsive.
The School of the Wolf badge on his neck also fell vertically, and no magic power was detected.
Lynn put a Quen Shield on himself.
Then, a Yrden Trap was placed on the ground.
When the seal reaches the master level, Yrden Trap not only has the effect of slowing down the enemy, but also has the effect of blocking the incoming hidden arrows.
Finally, he drank another bottle of high-grade Swallow Potion.
If there is any mechanism that can break through the double interception of Yrden Trap and Quen Shield one after another and still hurt him...
Then drink Swallow Potion now, which will help him stop bleeding and slowly heal the wound.
The main thing is prudence.
After taking all these measures, Lynn pressed his hands on the huge iron door.
As expected, the huge iron door is as heavy as it looks.
And even Lynn had to use all his strength to push it away.
There was no sound of any mechanism being activated, and no hidden arrows were fired.
When the huge iron door was pushed open.
What appeared in front of Lynn's eyes were only black and white gray channels.
"Well, it seems like there's no danger outside, but that's not necessarily the case inside... But let's call them over first."
Lynn found two huge rocks nearby and pressed them on both sides of the huge iron door that was pushed open.
He didn't go in hastily.
Instead, he first sent a signal to Professor Grogg, who was waiting impatiently in a safe area far away.
After seeing the signal sent by Lynn, Professor Grogg, his students, and workers carrying various digging tools trotted over.
When everyone saw that even though it was weathered, they could still see the magnificent building from the past, and they couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.
As for the dark passage behind the huge iron gate, it shows a look of shock and fear of unknown things.
