Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes
Chapter 350 - 125: The Black Cocoon

Chapter 350: Chapter 125: The Black Cocoon

The Royal Family’s lead Ninth Rank Limit, [Crystal Gate]Bair, stepped forward, his icy gaze fixed upon Yogesen.

"It was just a routine test, you just did the same thing before."

Yogesen, however, paid no heed to the anger from the Empire, simply standing with his hands behind his back, slightly bowing his head to look at the Holy Scripture in his hand.

"So, what about the members of the Council? What do you think?"

As Yogesen’s words fell, another group of Professionals, dressed in various Magic Robes, likewise surfaced from the other side of the sea.

Curiously, among them floated a gigantic, rectangular metal cabinet, dark gold in color with its surface covered in Magic Runes of Sealing.

"Your Excellency Yogesen, Your Excellency Bair, I am most honored to meet all of you here."

A young man with black hair and silver eyes, wearing a Magic Robe that seemed woven from stars and the sky, emerged from the crowd, positioning himself at the forefront of many Mages, facing the powerhouses of the two great empires, and performed a standard Mage’s salute.

The gentle breeze of Magic Power carried his words, echoing over the entire seascape.

"[Mystic Seeker]Orvani! You’ve come too?"

Upon his arrival, Yogesen’s expression became slightly more grave.

"There’s no helping it, this is a request from the [Stargazer] herself; I had to make the trip personally.

Naturally, from my own perspective, I am also very curious about this relic from beyond the Sky Peak Barrier. But the thought of having to fight with you guys always drains my enthusiasm."

With a somewhat helpless expression, Orvani shrugged and began to speak in a negotiating tone.

"So, I have a suggestion - could you quiet down and leave on your own? It would be better for everyone."

"You still have that infuriating way about you, Orvani. As for your proposal, I intend to return it to you as is."

To his words, the people from the Church Court showed no reaction, while Bair just snorted.

Seeing the many Ninth Ranks from the Council and the Federation appear, the Empire also calmed down at this moment.

There was no doubt, that specific metal cabinet, which emitted special fluctuations and couldn’t be stored inside a Space Ring, was the Federation’s ultimate card of breaking the Limit.

Just now, they had confirmed through the magical items of the academy that the students of Pamir didn’t suffer mass deaths. That Divine Punishment, aside from probing the city’s self-repair abilities, had no other impacts.

And since none of them had yet entered the range of the ruins, starting a fight now would be a foolish move.

"So, everyone, since you do not agree with my first proposal. How about we join forces temporarily and figure out how to break the city’s protection mechanism? What do you say?"

Not holding much hope for his first suggestion, Orvani spread his hands and proposed a compromise.

Everyone was already accustomed to his style and indeed it was the best solution at the moment.

Each party sent out their representatives, discussed briefly, and decided to work together for the time being. Before breaking the Protective Shield and entering the ruins, any acts of aggression against each other were strictly prohibited.

.........

At this time, deep underground, Anvis and his two companions followed the passage inside the enormous Stone Gate, gradually exploring deeper within.

The corridor interior was riddled with marks from the scuffles with giant dark creatures, and occasionally, slender blue Crystals protruded from the rock walls on both sides.

Anvis and Claire knocked a few crystals loose and discovered that they were just ordinary Fluorescent Magic Power crystals, so they tossed them to Xia Ye Yinghuo to play with.

Strangely, after extending forward for a while, the corridor inside the Stone Gate began to incline upwards, and the slope became steeper and steeper.

The three proceeded with great caution, but there was no danger present in this tall passage.

At the end of the corridor, there was a tightly closed massive stone gate, with many twisted and peculiar carvings on it, impossible to comprehend what was actually carved.

Rein, who had previously disappeared, was now standing in front of the gate, deep in thought before an eye-shaped rune in the center of the gate.

Hearing the footsteps of the three, he merely glanced up slightly, then continued to turn and gaze at the gate.

Previously, when he stepped onto the altar, Rein suddenly felt a faint calling in his heart.

Following this feeling, he arrived in front of the gate, only to regretfully stop there.

By now, he could clearly sense that the object of his attraction lay hidden just beyond this gate.

But no matter what, he couldn’t open the gate!

Rein vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

This caused him to pay little mind to the arrival of Anvis and his two companions. His gaze paused briefly on Claire and Xia Ye Yinghuo, then returned to the stone gate.

Anvis glanced at Rein and walked forward, gently touching the stone gate, pondering in his mind.

Clearly, Mr. Rein had been stopped by this stone gate.

Forcibly breaking it was obviously not going to work. He had already tested it; the gate, although appearing to be made of normal stone, had an astoundingly high resistance to magic and was extremely hard to budge.

He was also unsure how the Rein of the previous life had managed to open the gate. But it was either a matter of authority, a token, bloodline, or something else...

Since the original trajectory of destiny had been drastically altered by him, he now had to rely on his own abilities to find a way to unlock this gate.

Wait, that scepter—

Thinking of this, Anvis’s mind suddenly stirred.

Although it was the key to the authority over ancient weapons, it was, after all, related to Rein; perhaps it could also be used to unlock this gate.

As he found some areas inconvenient to explore on his own, Anvis had always had his avatar carry the golden scepter with him.

Indeed, when the golden scepter appeared, the eye-shaped rune on the gate suddenly closed and then stood up vertically, as the two halves of the gate slowly opened.

After casting a surprised look at Anvis, Rein quickly rushed into the gate.

’The confidence of the Child of Destiny is indeed unlike that of ordinary people...’

Observing Rein, who showed no sign of caution, Anvis wordlessly followed him in with Claire.

Just upon entering beyond the gate, an object nearly filling the entire room grabbed everyone’s attention.

It was a huge dark cocoon—

The pitch-black cocoon shell glimmered with a metallic sheen, surrounded by ring-shaped edges and dotted with dark purple protrusions, giving it an overwhelming presence.

The moment Anvis entered the room, he felt an invisible pressure emanating from the cocoon.

That was a force of oppression coming from a higher life form, usually felt only when facing professionals with ranks far superior to one’s own.

The Dark Beast Tide that had previously charged into the ruins and disappeared was probably now part of this giant cocoon.

To be honest, the existence of this cocoon made Anvis feel very uncomfortable.

But at the same time, the Ancient Secret Scripture conveyed a feeling of intense longing once again.
