Chapter 320 Spirit Cave and Ancient Relics
After leaving the Kendamen area, Ryan separated from the five students. They rode four horses to the village of Nold under the leadership of Gaius. Ryan wanted to go to the surveillance tower built by the Empire on the Nord Plateau.
Since Nold is a sensitive area at the junction of the two countries, it is impossible for Ryan to fly unscrupulously over the Nord Plateau on the Unicorn.
However, riding a horse on this sky and the plateau at the end of the railway also has a unique flavor. The endless grasslands bring an extraordinary sense of openness to Ryan who is riding his horse forward.
You can even hear the "rustling" sound of wind blowing the grassland when it passes by, and the occasional loud eagle cry in the sky brings a strong exotic style to this place.
The surveillance tower built on a cliff in the southern part of the plateau is actually not long in terms of construction. It is a modern building that has only been built in recent years.
In contrast, the Republic also strengthened the troops in the area controlled by the Nord Plateau, and from the top of the surveillance tower, you can clearly see the small base built by the Republic on the other side of the plateau in the distance.
In order to avoid friction in Nord, both countries maintain restraint in this border area.
There are only a few reconnaissance airships among the small bases of the Kalwad Republic, and the number of high-motorized tanks unique to the Republic is also rare.
The Empire's surveillance tower is similar. There is only one permanent airship, and it is also equipped with a reconnaissance type. There are only about twenty soldiers in the entire surveillance tower.
With his instructor status as an instructor at the Officer Academy, Ryan successfully obtained the permission of these postmen and walked to the top of the surveillance tower.
‘The blind spot of Kiddyn’s words…’
Ryan avoided the yawning soldiers without any trace and carefully observed the nearby landforms.
‘So that’s the case, it was blocked by a protruding rock, and the situation behind the stone cannot be seen from here is indeed a perfect blind spot.’
The first problem was solved, and then Ryan borrowed a sergeant's telescope to look towards the opposite Republic base, and roughly observed the route from the opposite side to the Imperially controlled area.
‘Well… Because of the height of the terrain, it is most realistic to use spacecraft to travel smoothly to two places. However, considering the secret operation, there is only one most suitable ground path, which is indeed as Miltio said.’
Once Nord's fire was provoked by Kiddian, the Imperial Intelligence Agency would first go to Jianda Gate and the surveillance tower to learn about the situation.
If Rector wants to go to the Republic, he must have to act low-key. He is nothing more than avoiding the sight of the two armies and taking a small path to the base of the Republic to reach an agreement with agents from the Locksmith agency.
When leaving the surveillance tower and heading towards the village of Nold, Ryan let the horses under him run on his own on the vast grassland, and he only made some fine adjustments in the direction.
Ryan, who was a little empty-minded, was thinking about the plans of both Miltio and the noble radicals on the horse.
‘The beginning of Kiddyn’s action was early morning after tomorrow, which means the third day of internship was the highlight.’
‘Considering the patience of both sides, we must try our best to let the unrest caused by the Imperial Liberation Front on the Nord Plateau come to an end within half a day, that is to say…’
Ryan looked back at the surveillance tower that was gradually moving away. "The actual operational time left for me is only a few hours, and that girl Miltiolu really gave me a problem."
The area where the Jianda Gate and the surveillance tower are located is called the southern part of the plateau by the locals. In addition to these two military facilities, there is also a landmark in the southern part of the plateau, which is the group of tall stone pillars standing in the center of the south.
Even the locals such as Gaius did not know how this group of stone pillars appeared. They were probably speculated that it should be a product left over from the ancient elves' beliefs.
Two days before the internship, Ryan did not have much preparations to do. Kiddyn and the giant beast hunting regiment he hired were still lurking at this time, and Ryan didn't know where they were at this time.
Besides, he didn't plan to have any intersection with Kiddian on his mission, so he would be troublesome if the genius from the Imperial Academy discovered something was wrong.
"Um……"
Ryan stood in the center of the stone pillar group and closed his eyes and felt the flow of spiritual power around him. "It really has a strange feeling, just as described in that book, this is one of the gathering points of the spiritual veins of the Nord Plateau."
Regarding the spiritual veins here, Ryan saw them from the precious classics I bought in the Witch Village before. The name of the book is "One Thousand and Two Hundred Years, the Changes of Spiritual Veins in Ereponia"
This book records a large number of spiritual veins gathering points in the empire that have been discovered by witches from all generations.
Coincidentally, there is also a place on the Bryonia Island that Group B goes to, which is the location of the upper spirit cave called Yang Ling Cave.
'According to records, there should be a Feng Ling Cave, one of the lower spiritual caves in the northeast of the Nord Plateau. However, the spiritual veins of the empire are not active enough, so it should not be revealed yet.'
The spiritual caves scattered throughout Ereponia were built by goblins and witches thousands of years ago. The construction site is without exception where the local spiritual veins gather. Its function is to extract Semlia stone from the spiritual veins.
According to records, the material used to cast the seven cavalry gods is the most theoretically strongest ore, Semuriya.
In other words, goblins mastered the method of smelting Semuriya stones a thousand years ago.
However, the guiding groups that are at the forefront of technology in the world have gradually applied it to the public in recent years, and the Semlia stones that appear on the market are usually relatively small in size.
According to the Witch's Book, the Semuriya stone used by the goblins is crystalline with high purity, and is so large that they can create seven Knights and their respective supporting weapons.
This extraordinary technical power is undoubtedly conveyed from the premature collapse.
When it comes to the Great Collapse, we have to talk about the vast variety of ancient relics scattered all over the world.
Although the church has repeatedly emphasized that ancient relics were all gospels given by Edes, the goddess of the sky, in fact, Ryan doesn't think so.
Because of the variety of these ancient relics, each has different dangers. Most of the devastating ancient relics have been recycled by the Star Cup Knights.
What remains among the people is only small toys that are indestructible in their eyes, including the "Echoing Shell" in Prince Olibart's hands.
This echo shell... In Ryan's words, it is actually a cheating contactor that can ignore the guiding wave and conduct global calls.
In his opinion, the so-called ancient relics are nothing more than the legacy left by the highly developed Gusemlia civilization before the Great Collapse.
‘Just kidding, Gusemlia civilization is the big guys who use Goddess 7 treasures to play with. The echo of the shell is just a satellite phone with no distance restrictions…’
When Ryan came to Nord Village thinking about ancient relics and spiritual cave issues, the students in Class 7 had already set out to the south of the plateau to start their first day of internship.
After greeting Gaius's parents, Ragan and Fadoma, Ryan accidentally found an acquaintance in this Nord village where most of them use nomadic tents.
