Claire squinted at Nicole and asked, "It's open, but what's inside?"
Nicole Although she felt disappointed, she finally came back to her senses. She was about to answer, but suddenly hesitated after opening her mouth. The thing inside was very important... She couldn't say it.
Claire narrowed his eyes slightly and asked softly, "Are you still unwilling to say it?"
Nicole trembled in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and decided to bear it down.
However, Claire did not perform any torture. He just looked at the water mirror-like passage and smiled, "It's okay if you don't say anything. You'll know when you get in."
After saying that, he took out a long rope from Spatial Ring and tied it up with Nicole. Nicole's heart tightened and he quickly asked, "What are you doing?!"
"If you don't tell me, I don't know what's going on inside. For the sake of safety, of course I'll throw you in to explore the way first."
After seeing Claire start to tie him up, Nicole panicked for no reason and said quickly, "No, no, no! There is no danger in there!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
Claire showed no intention of stopping in his hands, "Since there is no danger, I think you don't mind going in to explore the road first."
Seeing that he could not convince Claire, Nicole finally accepted his fate. His hands and feet were tied by Claire, and then he was thrown into the portal of the water mirror.
Nicole's body was submerged in the water mirror. Claire pulled the rope in his hand with a little force. It still had some weight. After pulling a few more times, he clearly felt that Nicole inside was pulled by him and rolled several times.
"Are you still alive?" Claire shouted towards Shui Jing.
After a few seconds, there was no echo from inside, but Claire didn't care. It was normal for this secret space to be able to isolate the propagation of sound. He just wanted to test it by shouting.
After pulling the rope a few more times, Claire clearly felt that the rope on the opposite side had a little pulling force. Only then did Claire confirm that Nicole inside was still alive.
After setting himself a few Magic Shield, Claire gave his body the strength to jump into the water mirror.
After a period of darkness, Claire felt the solid feeling of his feet on the ground, and then the world in front of him became bright again.
As soon as he entered, Claire saw Nicole lying on the ground looking at him with a resentful look on her face. Her clothes had become a lot dirty and covered with dust on the ground. It was obviously because Claire had pulled her to the ground several times while pulling the rope on the other side.
After simply glancing at the other party, Claire withdrew his gaze and observed the scenery inside. There were two to three hundred square meters inside. The room that Claire saw contained some common daily necessities, such as seats and beds. However, the wooden daily necessities were almost weathered, and it looked very much like a residence.
Claire frowned and walked to what looked like a desk, picked up the half-broken piece of paper, put it in front of him and looked at it for a while, then put away all the papers on the table. He didn't recognize the words on it. It should be a font from long ago in this world.
"Hey, do you know the words on it?" Claire walked up to Nicole with the paper and put it in front of her eyes and asked.
Nicole originally wanted to be arrogant, but after thinking of Claire's behavior just now, he put away his temper and read the text above seriously. After a while, he replied, "I know, the above are just some diaries, there is no substantive content in them."
"Diary?" Claire also picked it up again and read it. After a few seconds, he put it back in front of Nicole. "Even if it is a diary, read it to me."
Nicole rolled his eyes and started reading according to Claire's instructions.
"On December 8th, the experiment failed. I lost more than thirty level four wizards, and there was still no progress at all..."
"December 23rd, damn! My new idea has problems again. It won't work at all, and it will make the problem worse!"
"On January 3rd, the Wizard King favored me! The experiment I conducted on a fifth-level wizard gave me a little clue! If this is feasible, I will become the next King of Wizards! But I don't have much time, so I will speed up the progress..."
"On February 23, the experiment went perfectly. I feel that the truth is about to come out. I, Horna..." At this point, Nicole suddenly stopped.
Claire felt this pause keenly and asked, "What's wrong?"
After that, he added, "Don't try to lie to me, you can't lie to me either."
Nicole was stunned and replied slowly, "What was recorded in the book is indeed true, and it is indeed the relics left by Horna..." As he said this, Nicole burst into tears uncontrollably. Such a good opportunity was actually cut off by others!
"Who is Horna?"
"Ah?" Nicole looked at Claire with a ghostly expression, "You told me you don't know who Horna is?"
"He is the greatest wizard since the wizard inheritance was incomplete! If he hadn't supplemented and perfected Cultivation Method, do you think our Wizard World could have developed to this point?"
This is also the purpose of Nicole entering this ruins. She wants to find the Cultivation Method that Horna may not have passed down, and make up for the shortcomings of her own lineage of Cultivation Method.
Claire nodded. To put it this way, Horna is quite impressive and has led an era.
"Keep reading."
Nicole was very angry, but now that he was at a disadvantage, he honestly followed Claire's instructions and planned to read the rest of the diary.
But at this time, a wind suddenly blew up in the room, and the dust inside was blown into the air by the wind. This sudden change frightened both Claire and Nicole.
Claire lifted Nicole up in front of him without hesitation, staring closely at the center of the whirlwind, and holding a level 4 offensive spell scroll in his other hand.
As the cyclone rotates, it slowly condenses into a translucent humanoid shape.
Then I heard a voice coming from the other side of the figure, "I seemed to hear someone calling my name just now?"
Nicole's eyes widened and he screamed at a loss of words, "Horna Legendary Wizard?!"
Hearing Nicole's scream, the figure turned his head, and his appearance gradually became clearer. He looked like an old man with a white beard, but his aura was very unique and extraordinary.
"Are you calling me?"
Nicole was so excited to see Horna with his own eyes that he was almost speechless. This is a legendary character. What an exciting moment it is to be able to see it with your own eyes now!
"Scrying Spell!" Claire cast a detection spell on the old man. After feeling the feedback, Claire put Nicole in front of him back on the ground.
It's just a soul body, and the threat is not as great as that of a junior mage.
The old man with the white beard raised his head slightly and sighed, "Has it been tens of thousands of years since I died? You are the first people to enter here. I can rest in peace by handing things to you."
"Before I died, I finally perfected the incomplete wizard Cultivation Method, but at that time I was already on the verge of death and could not spread the perfect Cultivation Method at all, so I could only leave this broken spirit body waiting for the destined person to come."
With that said, Horna looked at Claire and Nicole, opened his hands and invited. "Are you willing to accept my inheritance? Re-spread my perfect wizard system throughout Wizard World! My reputation, Horna, will once again spread throughout Wizard World!"
Then a luminous light appeared on his chest, and Horna smiled kindly and said, "Come on, accept this, and you will get all the gifts from my inheritance!"
Nicole twisted her body. If Claire hadn't stepped on the ground with her feet, she would have jumped up eagerly and agreed.
Claire looked at Horna playfully and said with a smile, "I'm not interested in the perfect wizard system, but I am quite interested in you."
