Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2041: One week at most!
Brand only learned of the trouble that Yersen and the others had encountered the following morning.

At this moment, above the Blackrock Wasteland, at the research point of the Starbound.

Having just been teleported here, I was eating the dessert that Catherine was handing to me while listening to Rosalind's report on the events that had occurred yesterday afternoon.

Brand gradually became curious and asked:
“I’ve heard that Yersen and his group have found two allies.”

But their plan to monopolize the ruins failed just like that?

Rosalyn nodded and said:

"That's right, according to the intelligence we received from the knight golems we rented out."

Although they had completely defeated the forces that had attacked them yesterday, and had also killed and captured many people.

However, many people have successfully entered the outer perimeter of the underground ruins and even established a spatial rift connecting them to the outside world through sacrificial rituals.

Mr. Yersen and his team have been trying to clear out these guys since yesterday afternoon.

However, in reality, this is not an easy matter.

Those who infiltrate the ruins only need to find a suitable spot outside the ruins, use earth magic to dig a hole, eliminate the aura, and establish a barrier, making it very difficult for Mr. Yersen and his group to find them.

Furthermore, the number of forces and individuals entering the arena through their teleportation will undoubtedly increase over time.

The situation is basically beyond repair.

Ultimately, Mr. Yersen and his group were outsiders to this ruin, and they could not control its defense system.

Moreover, the underground environment is certainly not as easy to operate as the open ground.

After all, the issue of ground collapse must also be considered.

If this were to happen, the difficulty of excavating the ruins would inevitably increase dramatically.

From this perspective, Mr. Yersin and his group would ultimately have no choice but to relinquish their exclusive control over the ruins.

After hearing Rosalind's explanation and analysis, Brand nodded in understanding.

He could already imagine the complex situation that Yersen and his team were facing.

Ultimately, the power they wielded was far too weak!

While pondering, Brand suddenly recalled Rosalind's words and then asked with some curiosity:
"By the way, are you using the Knight Golem to eavesdrop on their actions?"

Upon hearing this, Rosalyn raised her head slightly and corrected her in a serious tone:
"The curator has misunderstood; this is not eavesdropping!"

The knight golem that we rented out is, after all, our property.

Of course, we also need to pay attention 'occasionally' to prevent anyone from using them to do something that could damage our reputation.

Besides, wouldn't it be good to be able to rescue Mr. Yersen and his group if they encounter any danger?

Brand waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter, as long as they don't know."

I just want to ask them what they found at the ruins? Is the ruins valuable? Are they worth us 'taking over'?

Hearing Brand say this, Rosalind secretly admired him, thinking, "Truly worthy of being the curator," and smiled, shaking her head.
"So far, they haven't gained anything at all!"
We now suspect that the valuable items in this ruin were taken away, which is why it was abandoned underground.

Upon hearing this, Brand understood and felt a little sympathy for Yersen and his companions' plight.

—After exploring for so many days, spending so much effort, and encountering so many troubles, we still haven't gained anything?

With that in mind, Brand casually sent a communication request to Yersin, intending to offer some comforting words.

Shortly after, once the communication was established, Yersin and Andy and Finn appeared on the empty screen.

Brand smiled and said:

"Good morning. I heard you've run into some trouble exploring the ruins over there?"
Do you need our help?

As long as you have the magic coins, we can solve all your problems!

Upon hearing this, one could see the unmistakable schadenfreude on Brand's face.

Yersin shook his head unhappily and said:
"You should worry more about your own affairs."

We have no problem protecting your ground camps. But many powerful figures from various factions are flying into the sky.

We can't help with things in the heavens.

Upon hearing this, Brand calmly replied:
"The height of the star boundary line is not something you can reach by simply flying around."
They could fly all the way here even if they worked themselves to death!

I guarantee that 99% of these guys are illiterate!

Upon hearing this, Andy shook his head and said:

"Alright, Brand, get to the point. We're busy here right now."

Brand smiled and shrugged, saying:
"I just heard you had encountered some setbacks, so I wanted to check on you. I don't have anything important to do here."

Finn nodded and said:

"Thank you for your concern, but we have other things to attend to right now, so let's talk later!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the chat screen on the empty image went completely black.

Brand also turned his gaze away, looking as if he hadn't had enough.

Afterwards, I chatted with the early-rising library staff for a while.

As everyone gradually arrived, Celine, having already eaten breakfast, was teleported to the location.

At Brand's urging, everyone continued their research for the day.

At this point in time, Celine and her team have completed the production of the 'limiter', and they can begin a new round of experiments at any time.

However, since the large amount of element data detected last time is still being processed, this matter will have to wait a few more days.

In addition, Brand wouldn't forget another purpose for their experiment here:
Find Mr. Candrus's lair!
This is based on the fact that Mr. Candrus has the [Black Armored Rhino].

The enemy's lair must be quite large.

Moreover, having raised the Black Armored Rhinoceros for so many years, Brand knew very well that this intermediate-level magical beast was a ground creature!
Based on the above, it is highly likely that:

Mr. Kandros has designated a piece of land in a certain area of ​​Blackrock Wasteland and set up a special barrier to block outsiders from prying eyes!
From this perspective, the large amount of ground-based elemental data they obtained in their last experiment was actually sufficient.

It is highly likely that Mr. Candrus's lair is located inside!
Just as they were enthusiastically calculating...

Celine, fiddling with the light screen in front of her, said with slight impatience:
“A few days ago, we could still vaguely discover some clues, but in the last two days, it seems that the other party has completely given up on spying on the ruins.”

I'm afraid there won't be much progress on my end.

Hearing this, and recalling Rosalind's earlier report, Brand asked:
"I heard someone opened a spatial rift connecting to the outside world outside that underground ruin? Isn't this related to Mr. Candrus?"

Celine shook her head and said:
"It's alright. These spatial rifts are rather crude, completely different from the sophisticated spatial techniques we discovered before."

I have examined it carefully, and it turns out that these are all actions by some small factions in the vicinity vying for control of the ruins.

Some spatial rifts connect to undead camps in the Blackrock Wastes.

Two of them simply connect directly to the two large cities near the Blackrock Wasteland.

They are clearly not our target.

After nodding in realization, Brand continued speaking while his hands remained on their heels:
"Then let's wait for our results."

We photographed the entire Blackrock Wasteland.

As long as Mr. Candrus's lair is indeed here.

Then we will inevitably discover some clues.

"The data from Blackrock Wasteland will be processed in about a week!"

Celine nodded and said:

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

However, I will continue on my end; we can't miss any detail!
