For foreseeable things, Ronald has always thought ahead.

The question that the old wizard was asking now.

That's exactly what he had considered.

Ronald did not deny his identity as the holder of the original canon at all, but replied without hesitation:

"The reason is actually very simple, I noticed the movement of merchants in the neighborhood."

"A lot of supplies are starting to be delivered to the barrier mountain, and there are fewer and fewer casters around. Seeing such a change, as a person who has been sealed in this ghost place, it is impossible to be indifferent. ”

“……”

Ronald's explanation worked very well.

After listening to his words, the old wizard even showed a look of great approval on his face:

"Excellent observation skills, good thinking wisdom, and the power of the original scriptures. Mr. Drake, at this most critical point in time, you are exactly the talent we need most in the wall! ”

Hearing the old wizard's answer, Ronald knew in his heart that it was done.

But to be on the safe side, he continued to act and asked:

"So, are we really going back?"

The old wizard smiled:

"As with the history that has already happened, it is a given."

"Mr. Drake, you know the importance of this matter. Time is urgent, don't you mind if the two of us take a trip? ”

Ronald nodded slightly, and his gaze turned to the ground below.

When the old wizard saw this action, he said with a clear mind:

"You can rest assured, that friend arranged for him to be with Sinovi, and now having the original canon holder join is the most important thing."

Ronald nodded:

"Then I'll have no problem on my side."

“……”

After the two landed on the ground, the old wizard gave a brief command and walked into the cross door with Ronald and walked deeper into the body.

As the position of the two deepened.

The number of casters in the vicinity has decreased significantly, and several passes have been passed through to verify their identity.

their destination.

Obviously a very important place for the Barrier Mountain.

And during this journey, Ronald also inquired about some news along the way.

For example, why the old wizard was able to see through the identity of the holder of the original text, and the degree of research on the occult knowledge of the Barrier Mountain.

The first is Ronald's identity.

The old wizard saw signs of multiple spell enhancements in Ronald's body through a technique studied by the Academy. This kind of complex and extremely effective spell is exactly what the old wizard dares to make such a guess.

As for the study of occult knowledge in the Barrier Mountain......

The old wizard didn't reveal much.

But for Ronald, it is definitely enough shocking news.

First of all, the researchers at Barrier Mountain have sorted out more than a dozen sets of language systems with different details, and they can basically perfectly interpret any original text that appears in their hands.

And then in terms of the nature of the spell.

Because being sealed in the [Infinite Negative Realm] itself is a loss from the original canon.

Therefore, the research institute of Barrier Mountain took out three original texts very boldly to conduct destructive experiments, and made a breakthrough in the understanding of the nature of spells.

Hearing this information, Ronald is actually quite sure of a little.

The wizards in the [Infinite Negative Numbers Domain] have indeed made amazing progress in these decades of cooperative research, and the environment sealed here has become the biggest motivation for them to study spells.

But there is another thing that Ronald cares about very much.

- Man-made gods.

The mysterious artifact depicted in the ecclesiastical texts, and the man-made deity that must have been in the [Infinite Negative Realm], did not reveal a word from the old wizard's mouth.

Before entering the barrier mountain.

Ronald also tempted Sinovi overtly or implicitly.

The young apprentice was ignorant of the existence of the gods, and would not react to any temptation. Look at the attitude of the obviously high-ranking old wizard in front of him......

Ronald has reason to believe.

The guy who was once repelled by himself on the island won't be in great shape now.

"Alright, it's the front."

"I informed some friends earlier, Drake, you can get to know everyone first."

When the position of two people came to the center of this mountain.

The passage in front of them suddenly became clear.

This is a vertical passage that pierces the mountain from top to bottom.

The cyan stone bricks are embedded in the surface of the passage in a spiral pattern, forming a spiral staircase that communicates up and down. Ordinary people stand in this place and look up, the sky is a small ring; Looking down, the pitch-black tunnel is bottomless, as if it can swallow people's hearts in an endless abyss.

Witnessed this amazing artifact that pierced through the mountain.

Ronald sighed with emotion, and also asked the old wizard:

"We're going to get somewhere?"

The old wizard smiled slightly, and pointed to an arch about thirty meters above the two of them:

"See, it's there."

"After all, it's not a combat meeting, and we don't have to go to the circular courtyard on top."

Next, walking up the spiral staircase, the old wizard did not forget to remind Ronald:

"See, this place that runs through the barrier mountain is called the Well of Judgment."

"There's a powerful barrier in it that prohibits flight."

"If there is a traitor in the Academy, then the Grand Wizard of the Council of Six will hold a trial in the circular courtyard above, and the guilty will be pushed directly from the top to the bottom. If he is lucky enough not to die, then the council will forgive him all his crimes. ”

“……”

Ronald couldn't help but look into the pitch-black abyss below.

With his outrageously strong eyesight, it was as if he had seen a trace of blood red from the bottom of the well of judgment.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to ask ......"

"How deep is this well of judgment?"

The old wizard turned back to Ronald and smiled:

"From the top of the mountain to the horizon, it's 4,500 kilometers."

Ronald nodded thoughtfully:

"That's ......"

However, the old wizard's words were not finished:

"From the horizon to the underground magma, there is a depth of about 20,000 meters."

“……”

Your well of judgment is truly adequate.

Putting aside the absolute mortal depth of more than 20,000 meters, and even the equally deadly magma underneath, this condition for forgiveness of sins is simply more excessive than the witch trials of the Middle Ages.

At this time, a question popped into Ronald's mind.

He asked without any burden:

"You won't dig it at such a depth"

Hearing this, the old wizard cast an approving look at Ronald instead:

"If you go up, break through the gas layer and you'll be in the Dark Void."

"But down, at least we haven't dug the limit yet, and once we reach a certain depth under the ground, it's too difficult to go deeper."

The old wizard finished explaining, and the two of them came to the arch they had pointed out earlier.

Taking the initiative to push open the stone door, the old wizard smiled and said:

"Mr. Drake, welcome to the Academy."
