Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 97: Miss Feng Xingzhe, it seems that your ancestor’s coffin can no longer be held down

The two woke up slowly and found themselves in a familiar environment.

Cohen gently covered his chest and sighed:
"Death by stabbing someone in the heart is indeed a painful way to die.

It seems I have to try a different method next time."

Miss Winged Elf's face turned pale, and she stared at Cohen with a strange look.

She didn't understand why this bastard had such a strong psychological endurance.

This time, neither of them wasted any time. After waking up and regaining their senses, they immediately headed towards the research institute.

The two of them were familiar with the route and completed the loop a minute faster than the previous time.

They barely spoke, but they could understand each other.

If we're quick this time, we can avoid that senior administrator.

However, to their disappointment, when they reached the westernmost corridor, they heard the sound of a door being pushed open.

The senior administrator in purple uniform appeared in front of them again.

Just like the last time, the senior administrator seemed to be waiting for them here and directly reached out to block the two men's way.

Cohen's heart sank slightly as he confirmed one thing.

They can't avoid this person!

As long as they continue to follow this path, they will never be able to escape!

There was no other way, he could only bite the bullet and see what this senior administrator was trying to do.

Cohen stopped and signaled Windsardler not to act rashly. He took the initiative to step forward and negotiate:

"Mr. Administrator, researchers Phil and Rita send their greetings.

What instructions do you have?"

The senior administrator's serious voice sounded:

"Come in, I need your help with something."

Cohen and the other man had no choice but to follow the administrator into the room he had just left.

As soon as I entered the room, a loud and noisy sound came into my ears.

Inside the room was a huge research laboratory where all kinds of strangely shaped instruments and equipment were humming, and the light shining directly from the ceiling was white and dazzling.

There were many researchers like them in the room, moving back and forth in front of various instruments and equipment.

Cohen could see the anxiety in their eyes; everyone was on edge.

Soon, a researcher ran up to them and gasped:

"'Ao's' power is still weakening!

I suspect there's something wrong with the source in the Empire!
The thing down there is almost... I can't hold it back any more!"

The senior administrator's expression changed visibly, and he said in a deep voice:
“Where are those pointy-eared narcissists!
Bastard, you always fail at the crucial moment!"

The researchers were also outraged:
“Who knows where they went.

It can't be that they were afraid that their ancestor would come out and pretend to be dead, so they ran away first!
Sure enough, they are not of my race, and their minds must be different!
These bastard elves were so active when they were digging up their ancestors' graves, but now they hide like rabbits when they encounter a situation."

Cohen held on tightly to Windsardler, who was about to riot.

He pricked up his ears quietly, as if he had heard something extraordinary.

Oh my goodness, from the sound of it, it seems that these people from the Arcane Empire dug up an ancient tomb of the elves a thousand years ago!
The ancient elven civilization ruins that the lousy planner mentioned in the previous life’s game, could they be the cemetery of the ancient elves?

From the sound of it, it seems that there is something about the elven royal family involved.

Digging up one's own ancestral grave is such an act of filial piety.

No wonder the Arcane Empire and the Elf Royal Family spent so much money to build a research institute here.

If we really dig out the good stuff from the ancient tomb, it would be extremely valuable.

Cohen's face suddenly showed disdain.

After all this time, it turns out that such a large research institute is a tomb raider!
I don't know how far they have dug.

When the research institute crashed a thousand years ago, did it affect the cemetery below?

Do I have the opportunity to follow their discoveries and continue this great work?

Cohen glanced at Windsardler secretly, wondering whether he should try to persuade Miss Winged Elf.

Work together to protect and excavate some cultural relics of ancient elves.

Help these precious cultural relics see the light of day again.

It can also be regarded as carrying forward the unfinished cause of the Arcane Empire and the Elves!

But seeing Windsardler's gloomy eyes, I thought I'd better wait until she was in a better mood.

After the senior administrator and the researcher complained about the unreliable elves, they remembered Cohen and the others.

He pointed at the two of them and said:

"I'm afraid you don't have enough manpower, so I called two more people. You can arrange it."

The researcher immediately said:
"Okay, I've brought in three more 'Demon Transformation Devices'.

First, extract the power of 'Ao' from the magic to suppress the ice coffin below.

Otherwise, once the thing in the ice coffin fully awakens, no one here will be able to suppress it!"

Cohen's expression was slightly tense.

The power of "O"?

Extracted from magic?

These two sentences contain a lot of information.

Even in the previous game, there is very little useful information about the Arcane Empire that fell thousands of years ago.

Only a few ruins remain, and the rest of the Arcane Empire is buried in the dust of history.

It's like a large piece of human civilization has been dug out by an unknown existence!

Even the "Cobalt Soul Academy" does not have very detailed records about the Arcane Empire.

As for the Sun Elves, who had been very close to the Arcane Empire, their entire tribe disappeared shortly after the fall of the Arcane Empire.

Cohen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

To extract the power of "Ao" from the magic to suppress something.

Is the power of "Ao" a higher form of power?

The senior administrator's scolding woke Cohen from his thoughts:

"Damn it! If she really wakes up, I'll just tell her that it was those bastards from the Sun Elves who robbed their ancestors' tomb!
I said at the time that some experiments were too risky and could not be done at all!
They insisted on putting that kind of thing into the ice coffin!"

Ice coffin?

An ice coffin in the cemetery?
Cohen was secretly shocked. Oh my God, these crazy arcanists are not trying to resurrect an ancient elf!
He glanced at Windsardler and said secretly:
Your Excellency, it seems that your ancestor’s coffin is about to burst!
and many more!

Could it be that the reason why the research institute took off was because of the anger of this ancient elf after its resurrection?
What the hell!

Such powerful strength?
Could it be that there is an ancient elf saint below?

No, there are saints in the research institute too!
Is it...

Cohen felt his scalp tingling.

If there was a being more terrifying than a saint, then a mere thousand years...

Coming to the "Star Valley" by yourself is just seeking death!

Cohen quickly calmed down.

No, you can't scare yourself. Didn't Arnold come here in the previous life and he was fine?

It's okay, he's not dead.

He forced himself to calm down. After the senior administrator left, he glanced at the researcher's ID card and asked:

"Researcher Jack, is that thing down there about to come back to life?"

Researcher Jack sighed:
"Nine times out of ten."

Cohen asked tentatively:
"What's the situation in there now?"

Jack brought the two of them to the so-called "magic transformation instrument" and said with a tired tone:

“I don’t know, the ice coffin is completely enveloped by huge energy.

Several saintly elders from the Imperial Seminary once tried to test it, but they all returned empty-handed."

Cohen continued, "I wonder what's in there?"

Researcher Jack looked at the two of them in surprise.

Cohen said quickly:
"We've both only been here for a few days and don't know much about the situation here, but we were already drafted by the administrator."

Jack said:
“No wonder, everyone here knows it after staying here for a long time.

According to records, the person buried below is an elven queen of the ancient elven tribe.

I don’t know if it’s life or death.

Later, someone came up with an idea to send a few thousand-year-old "Elf Holy Fruit" seeds into it.

I want to see if I can wake her up.

As a result, a violent energy fluctuation really came from below.

Everyone panicked now, and quickly connected an "Ao" channel from the source of the empire to suppress the ice coffin.

You can see the current situation. The power of 'Ao' is gradually weakening, and it seems that it will soon be difficult to suppress it."

Cohen breathed a sigh of relief, as the doubts in his heart were almost answered.

Meanwhile, the time has come.

The entire institute suddenly came to a standstill, and a scream that pierced the eardrums rang out.

Research Institute, continue to ascend!
……

The two woke up again, and Windsardler spoke quickly:
"I want to see that ancient tomb they mentioned down there!"

Cohen said as he walked:

"Do you think you have the authority to go down?
In my opinion, only the responsible persons in black uniforms have the authority to approach the ancient tomb."

Windsardler's expression froze, and he said in a muffled voice:
"Then what should we do? Should we still go to that core research institute?
The senior administrator was obviously waiting to be drafted, and there was no way to escape.

Is there another route?"

Cohen smiled confidently and said:

"This is the only route, but I already have a way to deal with that administrator. Hurry and follow."

The two had already had two experiences, and this time the speed was even faster.

When we reached the westernmost corridor, as expected, the senior administrator came out again.

Cohen spoke quickly:
"Your Excellency, Administrator, Researcher Jack asked us to quickly find three more 'Demon Transformation Devices'. He said the thing down there is almost uncontrollable.

The 'Demon Transformation Instrument' is needed to extract the power of 'Ao'."

The senior administrator's expression changed drastically, and his tone became urgent:

"Okay, then hurry up."

Then he turned and walked in.

Windsardler looked at Cohen in surprise. This man was quite smart.

The two quickly stepped into the light circle at the end of the corridor and left.

The rest of the journey was much smoother.

Following the route instructions on the star map, Cohen quickly approached the control center of the entire space array.

That semi-artifact is right in front!
As Cohen expected, before they saw the door to the control center, a middle-aged man in a black uniform appeared in front of them.

The head of the institute!

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be a legendary transcendent.

In addition, with the Arcane Empire's extraordinary technology, it is absolutely unrealistic to force your way in.

The person in charge said in a deep voice:

"This is not the place for you, leave now!"

Cohen's eyebrows moved slightly, and he whispered to Windsordler beside him:

"Your Excellency, Special Envoy, if you were to fully utilize your extraordinary power and the racial talents of your Winged Elves, could you lure away a Legendary?"

Windsardler's face darkened and he asked:

"What are you planning again?"

Cohen said righteously:

"Your Excellency, we have lived and died together four times. Don't you still trust me?

We've come this far, should we give up?

Behind the door is the greatest civilization heritage of your ancient elves.

Don’t you want to know what’s inside?”

Windsardler bit his lip and said angrily:

"I'll trust you once more."

After a few seconds of silence, she continued:

"Maybe it can keep him away for a few minutes."

Cohen showed a slight delight and said:

"Then you just fly down as fast as you can!"

After saying that, he suddenly reached out and pulled down Windsardelle's protective mask, revealing her beautiful face and a look of astonishment.

Then he ran towards the legendary leader, shouting as he ran:
“She’s a member of the ‘Black Band’ and a winged elf!

She kidnapped me and wanted to attack the ice coffin below!
She has many accomplices who are now lurking near the ice coffin.

They're going to destroy the institute!"

The person in charge in black uniform was still in a daze, but when he heard a few key words from Cohen's mouth -

Black band, elves, ice coffin!
His face suddenly changed color with horror.

The Black Band was an underground resistance organization from the elves during the Arcane Empire.

They are clearly and firmly opposed to any form of contact between the elves and humans.

He is an absolute racist and often sabotages joint actions between the Arcane Empire and the elves.

The person in charge has just received the following information.

Hearing Cohen's words, he immediately believed it a little bit when he heard that there was something unusual happening in the ice coffin.

Windsardler's obvious elven features made him even more convinced.

As he spoke, the powerful aura of a legendary master rose from the ground.

Windsardler was also stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted.

I have so many curse words in my heart that I can't say them out loud.

She gave Cohen a vicious look.

He gritted his teeth and secretly memorized everything Cohen did, and would deal with him after he got out!
Looking at the legendary transcendent who has already burst into momentum.

Windsardelle's face was more solemn than ever. A mysterious light flashed behind her, and a pair of wings that seemed to be made of the purest crystal slowly emerged.

The edges of the feathers flickered with a faint fluorescent light, as if stars were scattered on them.

The wings flickered gently and the whole person disappeared in an instant.

It transformed into a streak of silver light and flew towards the bottom of the research institute.

The person in charge snorted coldly, and his legendary strength fully erupted as he chased after Windsardler.

Seeing this, Cohen no longer hesitated. He activated the "ghost crab" on his feet and went straight through the wall into the control center.

The entire control center is located in a closed spherical space, and the surrounding walls are all made of metal that emits a mysterious glow.

The surface is engraved with complex and delicate runes, like a flowing galaxy.

In the center of the room, a dazzling crystal book was suspended.

The book is constantly turning back and forth. Each page is carved from pure and transparent crystal and engraved with complex patterns and designs.

There seems to be an endless starry sky inside, with twinkling stars.

Cohen focused his gaze and saw that it was clearly countless miniature space nodes!
Each page of the book corresponds to a space node!
Cohen's eyes flashed with a fiery look. This was the semi-artifact that drove the entire research institute's spatial array control center.

The Book of Time and Space!
