Precisely because of the vampire's dislike of White Swan Castle, the person responsible for receiving visitors is just an ordinary butler of White Swan Castle.

For a nobleman, this kind of behavior is somewhat rude, but the visitors are all scholars engaged in research. In their minds, studying ancient ruins is far more important than communicating with the noble master, so the Kuifan family's approach

It didn't cause any dissatisfaction.

When Leo and Sylvia arrived at White Swan Castle, some invited scholars had already arrived. Under the leadership of the castle servants, they had already gone to the location of the tower foundation.

After getting off the carriage, Leo and Sylvia handed the invitation letter to the servants of the castle. After checking the authenticity of the invitation letter, another servant led them into the castle along the side of the hall.

The stone steps lead down to the basement.

Before that, both Leo and Sylvia had read the information about the foundation of the tower under White Swan Castle, and knew that the Kuifan family tried their best to keep the ruins as close as possible in order to facilitate the study of the ruins of the tower.

In order to prevent the construction of the castle from affecting the ruins, they also used a large number of columns to raise the foundation of the castle, thus ensuring the integrity of the ruins.

However, no matter how detailed the content is described in the documents, it is far inferior to what was seen on site.

After walking down the spiral staircase for about ten meters, you opened a wooden door and entered the site of the tower ruins.

I saw that the entire underground was a man-made cave with a diameter of about two kilometers. Ten giant blocks were piled neatly around the cave, and dozens of stone pillars were scattered throughout the cave, supporting the foundation of the castle at the top of the cave, because

The stones in the cave are also made of light-absorbing stones, and are integrated with the castle outside, so the light absorbed by the castle outside is also transferred here and emitted, making the originally gloomy and dark cave as bright as the outside.

In such an environment, the remains of the tower at the bottom of the cave are clearly visible, not only some of the main building facilities can be seen, but even the symbols with mysterious meanings on some walls can also be seen clearly.

In order to facilitate researchers to observe the ruins of the tower as a whole, craftsmen hired by the Kuifan family specially built a plank road along the surrounding walls. Researchers can walk along the plank road around the cave and view the entire tower from above.

The ruins are all in sight.

At this moment, many scholars who specialize in the study of ancient ruins have entered the ruins of the tower below, and according to their own methods, they are studying the mysterious symbols, architectural structures, causes of destruction, etc. in this ruins. In fact, these contents have been revealed in the past.

It has been studied by scholars, and all the parts that can be unearthed have been unearthed. Logically speaking, there should be no more valuable things to guess.

But the actual situation was not like this. Just when Leo and Sylvia arrived, some scholars let out waves of surprised shouts in the ruins.

It turned out that this scholar had participated in the research of this ruin before, and specially found a ruin full of various symbols to study the meaning of the symbols. To this end, he copied all the symbols and marked each symbol carefully.

The exact location, and even used his superb painting skills to draw the ruins he was studying.

For this scholar, his understanding of the ruins even exceeded his understanding of his home. But just now he discovered that the various symbols on the ruins had changed. Not only were there a lot more symbols that were not there before,

symbols, and the positions of some symbols have also changed.

Not only this scholar, but other people who had participated in the study of the tower ruins also found that the ruins they had previously studied had changed, and based on their survey of the site, they did not find any traces of artificial forgery, and those

The corrosion marks on the surface of the ruins show that these are naturally formed.

Various novel discoveries also made researchers of these ancient ruins excited, and they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the study of the ruins.

Compared to these pure ancient civilization scholars, Leo and Sylvia are obviously more like two aliens.

After they arrived at this place, they did not rush into the ruins below like other scholars. Instead, they walked leisurely along the plank road like two tourists visiting a museum, and stopped from time to time.

, looking at a certain ruins below that are being studied intensively by scholars.

"It's really weird!" Sylvia whispered beside Leo: "There are rumors from the outside that the vampires don't care about the ruins, and they even sneer at the treasures in the ruins. But looking at it now, those rumors obviously have

The problem, judging from the scale of protection here, the vampires attach great importance to this place, and I even suspect that the White Swan Castle above was also repaired for these ruins."

"What do you think the vampires want from here?" Leo thought for a moment and asked.

"I don't know either." Sylvia shook her head, then pointed to the scholars below and said, "But I know the answer lies in these witchcraft runes and Turing roots."

Leo did not comment on Sylvia's guess and continued walking along the plank road. However, after walking a certain distance, he stopped again and looked at the ruins below.

I saw that Yilan was recording the changing symbols on the ruins with several scholars in the library. Her mind was entirely focused on the ruins, and she did not realize that Leo was standing above her head.

"Yilan from the library, a good scholar." Sylvia walked up to Leo and easily recognized the person below, and said, "It's a pity that she studied under the Bixiu School, that school is too dull.

It is only suitable to be a data collector, and it is difficult to make any breakthrough achievements in academics."

"Let's go down and take a look." Leo gestured to Sylvia, then jumped directly from the plank road and landed firmly on the ground.

Sylvia also followed, her body's falling speed gradually slowed down as she fell, and when her feet landed on the ground, she no longer had any falling force. She seemed to be pacing lightly on the spot.

The two of them did not disturb the library scholars who were quietly studying. They walked to a broken wall and started looking at it.

Sylvia was not interested in these things and could not see anything useful. The symbols above were like a foreign language she had never been exposed to before, so she looked at them for a while and then turned to look at other ruins.

went.

Compared with Sylvia, Leo's situation is not much better.

Leo originally thought that with his own ability, even if he could not completely decipher the symbols and Turing roots on the walls of the ruins, he could still find some clues to the interpretation.

But now after seeing these symbols and the Turing root at close range, Leo found that what he had learned before was useless. The symbols themselves were completely wrong, and the combinations were confusing. Even the Turing root

They are all randomly combined and do not follow the most basic combination rules at all.

If it were just like that, maybe Leo would think that it was a piece of junk forged by someone who knew nothing and had no research value. He might even think that the entire ruins were just a scam by the vampires. But what confused him was that this

The ruins emitted weak energy fluctuations, and the source of these energy fluctuations was those symbols and Turing roots that he believed were all wrong.

This abnormal situation almost gave Leo the idea that the relevant knowledge he had learned before was wrong, but he quickly got rid of the influence of this abnormal emotion, calmed down, and re-examined these Turing stories full of errors and contradictions.

Root relic symbol.

He suddenly thought that under normal circumstances, these symbols full of chaos, disorder and errors and the Turing root would never be able to generate this energy, but there was a place where these symbols and the Turing root could produce different energy.

power, and this place is the abyss.

The abyss itself is twisted, chaotic, and disorderly. These symbols and Turing roots that seem completely meaningless here may be able to produce magical effects in the abyss.

"Perhaps these symbols and Turing roots were originally normal, but were later affected by the power of the abyss and became distorted." Leo suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.

"Mr. Leo, when did you come?" Yilan had just finished copying some symbols around the corner. She stood up and moved her body. She happened to see Leo standing in front of the broken wall and immediately walked forward.

Come and ask.

"I just came here not long ago." Leo responded simply.

At this time, Sylvia also came over, nodded to Yilan, and then asked Leo: "Did you find anything?"

"That's a little discovery." Leo nodded affirmatively, and then said what he had just discovered and guessed.

"Abyss?" Sylvia and Yilan both exclaimed at the same time, but the meaning of their exclamations was completely different.

Sylvia did not expect that the power of the abyss was involved here. She was more surprised, while Yilan was completely at a loss and had no idea what the abyss was.

"Are you sure it's the power of the abyss that's working?" Sylvia asked confirmingly.

"I think it should be." Leo was not entirely sure. He thought for a moment and suddenly asked Yilan: "Miss Yilan, are the symbols that appear in this area always recorded in your library?

"

"Yes." Yilan didn't know why Leo suddenly asked such a question, but she still nodded truthfully.

Leo asked again: "Do you have the previous records with you now?"

"Yes." Yilan nodded and said, "I'll get it for you."

With that said, she turned around and went to where the package was placed, then searched inside the package and pulled out a stack of achievement documents. After flipping through two pages to confirm that they were correct, she walked over and handed them to Leo.

After taking the file, Leo quickly flipped through a few pages and quickly found what he was looking for.

"Look at these copied symbols and patterns." Leo spread out the information in his hand so that the two people around him could see it, then pointed out some of the information he had just discovered and said.

The two looked at the place Leo pointed out and found nothing unusual.

Leo had long expected that the two of them would react like this, so he walked to the broken wall, drew a location on the broken wall with his finger, and said, "Compare the two."

The two of them compared the information in the book according to what Leo pointed out, and soon Sylvia discovered something, with a slightly surprised look on her face.

Yilan didn't see anything at first, but after Sylvia reached out and drew a few suggestive strokes on the symbol on the wall, she quickly understood what was going on and said in surprise: "This

Is it a variant symbol?”

After being surprised, Yilan used comparison methods to find out the distorted variant symbols of several original symbols in the data.

"What's going on? Why are these symbols distorted?" Just when Yilan was filled with doubts and wanted to ask Leo, Sylvia had already asked her question.

"This should be related to the illusion half a year ago?" Leo responded briefly, and then said to Sylvia: "Let's go! Let's go and see other places." He then said to Yilan very seriously:

"I would like to give you a friendly suggestion. You'd better pack your things and leave immediately. Don't study these things here anymore. These things have no research value and will have a bad impact on you."

After saying that, Leo led Sylvia and left the ruins, heading towards other locations.

Seeing Leo suddenly leaving inexplicably and saying such words, Yilan was completely confused, but at the same time she instinctively felt a hint of danger, so she decided to follow Leo's advice, stop research, and leave

here.

However, when she decided to leave, something went wrong. Her colleagues all fell into an obsession with research. They believed that these never-before-seen symbols and patterns were of great research value. As long as they could decipher their meanings,

Maybe it would make them famous in the academic world, and none of them had any intention of leaving her.

Seeing that her companions had all fallen into a state of obsessive research, Yilan, who was also a researcher, knew that there was definitely no way to pull them away. This made her want to stay with them and persuade them again when they were eating.

See if you can persuade successfully.

But when she thought about staying, that strong sense of crisis appeared in her heart again. She didn't know how this sense of crisis came about, but she knew very well that it was not an illusion.

For this reason, Yilan persuaded her companions again, but the result was the same, and she also felt that she had fulfilled her obligation to remind her. Even if something happened, she would not feel guilty about it, so she quickly cleaned herself up.

packed their luggage and hurriedly left the ruins.
