Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2039 Are the best things hidden deeper inside the ruins?

Although the news of hidden areas in the ruins of Blackrock Wasteland aroused Kandrus's greedy covetousness.

However, the continuous surveillance of the space by Brand and others in secret made it reluctant to make any rash moves or expose its presence.

After all, Brand and his team demonstrated spatial techniques that were no less sophisticated and advanced than its own.

This is enough to show that they are by no means ordinary beings, and it may not be able to handle them.

Against this backdrop, a strange balance has temporarily formed behind the scenes, unbeknownst to Yersin and others, the Blackhound, and the White Bone Society.

This allowed them to monopolize the ruins and explore them.

And soon, three days passed in a flash.

The underground ruins of Blackrock Wasteland are a large-scale ruin.

It has a huge area and a complex structure.

Inside, there are also many powerful magical means that can hinder or even kill outside spyers.

However, because the White Bone Society produced a complete structural diagram of the outer area of ​​the ruins.

They also found a relatively efficient route for exploring the ruins.

By now, most of the defenses in the outer area of ​​the ruins have been breached!
It was afternoon that day, inside the stone fortress where Andy and the others were.

He and the monks beside him held remote controls together.

After a team of knight golems and two teams of skeletal legions in the remotely controlled virtual screen gradually broke through the barrier blocking their path.

As the perspective of the empty screen continued to advance, a spacious underground hall furnished with a lot of furniture gradually appeared in the picture, just as expected.

Andy couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and then said with relief:

"The last line of defense in the outer area of ​​the ruins has finally been breached!"

We should have now arrived at the 'living area' outside this ruin!

Hearing this, Finn, who was watching from the sidelines, urged:
"Don't just stand there, quickly look at what's here."

It took so many days, and we even destroyed more than ten knight golems.

If we can't break even, we'll suffer a huge loss!

Hearing this, Andy smiled and comforted him:
"Don't worry, the mechanisms and formations we dismantled earlier are worth some money for materials."

Next, if we can find one or two supply depots, we should be able to break even.

As they spoke, Andy continued to work alongside the mages beside him, manipulating the knight golem to explore the underground hall and the surrounding area.

Meanwhile, two groups of undead, operating underground alongside the knight golem, were excitedly doing the same thing.

However, after a short period of exploration, they gradually discovered that there didn't seem to be anything of value in the outer area of ​​the ruins.

There seemed to be no warehouses storing valuable resources here; they only found a few warehouses cluttered with various useless miscellaneous items.

Of course, they were not discouraged.

According to the complete structural diagram provided by the White Bone Society.

The 'living area' outside this site is quite large, so there are still many places they haven't explored yet.

However, as time went on...

As dusk approached and night gradually passed, the morning sun rose from the east and traveled all the way to the courtyard.

Control the knight golems to return to the original hall one by one.

After throwing the found items out of the magic pocket.

Looking at the hall, one sees a large pile of worthless, low-quality magical metals, expired but possibly research-worthy unknown potions, a small pile of low-level elemental resources, and some furniture and ornaments with a little artistic value.

Andy frowned slightly and said:
“It shouldn’t be!

We have now explored most of the outer area of ​​the ruins.

Even if the people who once lived here were of low social status.

Surely there must be more useful items left behind than such a small amount?

Upon hearing this, Yersin, who had come to observe, pointed to the stacks of tattered books at the edge of the empty screen and asked:
"What are those books and things? Extraordinary inheritance?"

Upon hearing this, Andy shook his head and said:

"No, most of them are just ordinary books from the past to pass the time, such as biographies, novels, and miscellaneous notes."

The few books that did contain magical knowledge were of very low quality and little value.

Upon hearing this, Yersin stroked his chin and guessed:

"Could it be that when the ruins were sealed, all the good stuff was taken away?"

Andy shook his head again and said:
"It doesn't seem likely. If there's nothing of value inside the ruins, then what's the point of those troublesome traps on the outer defense line?" Yersin added.
"So the good stuff is all deeper inside the ruins?"

Andy frowned slightly and nodded, saying:
"That should be the only explanation."

Yersin asked:

"Now that the outer area has been explored most of the way, the next step should be the more troublesome inner area defense line."

Should we still send the knight golem to scout ahead?

How about we send one of us down to speed things up?

Andy shook his head and said:
"Our knight golems are incredibly powerful."

If any strong individuals are to be sent down, the other two sides should send their people down first.

If there really is some master-level defensive mechanism, let them test it out first; after all, these undead aren't so easy to kill.

But before that, let's meet with them first.

The exploration of the outer area is nearing completion. According to the agreement, we now need to distribute the profits, and the [Bone Society] also needs to provide a structural map of the inner area of ​​the ruins.

As Andy said this, he turned to Yersin and said:

"By the way, what's the situation around here?"

Because of the commotion that Brand and his group caused at this site.

I've heard that there are more and more factions and adventurers active in the Blackrock Wasteland these days.

Yersin nodded and said:
"That's right. In just a few days, our scattered Shadow Butterflies have discovered the presence of many teams."

Brand and his group were alright, as they had concealed their camp using a barrier.

But we have nowhere to hide here.

Since the day before yesterday, more and more spirits have been lurking in the distance around us.

There are adventurer teams, as well as legions of certain factions.

Now, all these teams, large and small, are trending towards us.

It is obvious that many forces are now eyeing us.

There are also some rumors circulating that the 'little sun' created by Brand and his team is related to our ruins.

Upon hearing this, Andy said with a somewhat strange expression:

"Our ruins are underground, what does that have to do with things in the sky?"

Yersin shook his head and said:

"It's nothing more than a means of inciting people's hearts, which is normal."

In any case, the current situation is barely acceptable.

After all, we are a powerful tripartite alliance.

However, things may change over time.

Who knows when these forces, or even some of the strongest adventurers, might join forces and come knocking on our door.

This will still cause us trouble.

Andy nodded and said:

"Then I'll discuss with the other two parties in a bit to speed up the exploration of the ruins."

In fact, if it weren't for concerns that excessively violent destruction might cause a large-scale collapse of the ruins, we could have proceeded much faster.

After making his decision, Andy quickly got back to work.

Yersin, on the other hand, continued to work with Finn to oversee the defense and patrols of the two camps.

The next morning, it was the fifth day since the [Bone Society] joined the ruins exploration.

A junior necromancer from the Blackhounds entered the underground ruins.

—While they further accelerated the pace of exploration of the ruins, they also officially launched an advance towards the defense line of the inner area of ​​the ruins!

However, to their surprise...

And when the time came to the sixth day.

Starting in the morning, teams of all sizes in the vicinity began to quickly unite.

That very afternoon, a large, combined force approached them menacingly!
