Chapter 175 Mysterious Ruins

"Furthermore, the degree of danger of this expedition is actually within my tolerance."

Seemingly worried about the old explorer Bergson, Claire thought for a moment and added another sentence.

Although she is called Uncle Bagson, in fact, there is no blood relationship between her and Bagson.

The relationship between the girl and the old explorer is entirely due to the ancient stone slab and her dream of being an explorer.

The former owner of that stone slab was Bagson's father, the amazing seventh-level explorer [Baigson Lowe Hancock] two hundred years ago.

Yes, he has the same name as his son.

Back then, after the old Bergson deciphered the ancient characters on the stone slab, he used the same characters to carve his name and the goal of his next expedition in the blank space at the bottom of the stone slab.

Then, he donated the slate to the Pamir Mysterious Great Library, and using a blank fragment of the slate as a guide, he went alone to the depths of the foggy sea to find the nameless giant island recorded on the slate.

Hundreds of years have passed since then.

When Claire deciphered the slate and learned of the existence of the island, she also saw the brief message from Old Bergson.

Unlike old Bergson - since he was still far away from the time recorded on the stone tablet, he could only find a way to find it on his own.

Claire can board the black ship from the island and board the giant island in the normal way.

Yes, most of the 'books' in the mysterious library can be borrowed. Due to the existence of magic, the academy is not worried about someone borrowing it and not returning it.

After disguising his identity and landing on the island, Claire first took the slate and tried to find the traces left by the old Bergson.

Before coming here, she had found the information and last whereabouts of Old Bergson in the information room of Pamir College.

Because he had deciphered the slate text like himself, and he was also a well-informed seventh-level explorer.

Claire hopes to find him and exchange information about the island and understanding of the contents of the tablet, as well as news about her unusual bad luck traits.

However, she ultimately failed to find old Bergson, but only found a son he left behind on the island.

Moreover, he inherited his father's identity and also became an explorer——

.

….….

Bergson turned around and looked at the girl who was looking at him with shining eyes.

Although she was disguised as a young man with brown hair, in his eyes, the girl's disguise was no different.

For a moment, a sigh and self-mockery flashed through his eyes.

The eyes of those who came before us are always filled with ridicule and sighs when they look at those who come after us, just like seeing themselves when they were young.

As long as he can remember, Bergson has only seen his mother, an ordinary Lavanles woman.

Although he has the same name and identity as his father, he has never actually met his father except for an old portrait.

Initially, what supported his goal of becoming an explorer was actually just a child's obsession to follow in his father's footsteps and find his whereabouts.

For this reason, in the years since he became an explorer, he has traveled almost all over the island, going deep into the cursed mountains and wilderness again and again, exploring the dusty ancient ruins on the island, just to trace the possible traces left by his father.

In the tempering of adventure after adventure, he gradually became the strongest person on the island and was respected by others.

However, except for some traces left by old Bagson, he has never been able to find his father, as if he had completely left the island.

Slowly, the children who were once grew old, and the passion of youth gradually disappeared. Over a long period of time, only deep tiredness remained.

He is tired.

"That's fine. I've already told you the places on the island that you need to pay attention to. As for how to explore them, it's all your own business."

For a moment, Bergson shook his head, freeing himself from the long memories.

"Also, this is for you."

Looking at Claire who was persevering, the old explorer took out a small piece of stone from the ring that was covered with ancient writing and made of the same material as most of the stone slab in Claire's hand.

"This is something left by my father. Since you have deciphered the ancient writing on the stone slab, you must be able to understand the content on it."

Handing the slate to the girl, Bergson waved his hand in a dazed manner.

"Go ahead, Claire, and please never forget what brought you down this path in the first place."

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Bagson."

Claire bowed to the old explorer with great gratitude.

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of her grandfather, a mage who had raised her, as well as her tutors and kind classmates who took great care of her in the college.

And the handsome young man with mysterious blue eyes who regarded her as a companion.

Then, she glanced at the message on the small stone slab.

"This is a mistake! If you can see it, stay away from Lavanles! Stay away from that town! You must leave this island before the time comes!"

.

….….

On the other side, it was almost dusk when we bid farewell to the old explorer.

Anvis planned to go to investigate the black tower first, and then wait for nightfall to study the specific changes in the curse on the island at night.

However, when he was about to reach the black tower, Anvis suddenly frowned and noticed some weird and empty fields on the side of the town.

A ruin that seems to have been covered in dust for a long time is very eye-catching and is located among many normal buildings.

Collapsed brick walls, weathered and damaged stone pillars, broken and piled rubble...

In the center of the ruins, stood a slightly lonely house. Although it was also half-destroyed, its state of preservation was obviously better than other parts of the ruins.

For some reason, Avis always felt like something was wrong with that house.

There was some strange attraction beckoning to him from the ruins.

"Sir Qiaomu, look at the house in the center of the ruins. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Qiao Mu glanced at the direction pointed by Anvis and nodded affirmatively.

"That's a small abnormal area, Sir Anvis."

"Are there any abnormal elements?"

Hearing this, Anvis couldn't help but take an extra look at the house.

“I did not sense the existence of abnormal elements there. It may be due to the size of this abnormal area or other reasons that it could not be generated.

It is also possible that it was once generated but has been taken away by others. "

Jom shook his head.

"Is there any danger?"

"For us, no, Lord Avis."

"very good."

Anvis nodded, casually summoned a candlelight ball of light, and walked towards the half-destroyed house.

Through the gaps between the broken pillars and ruins, his eyes were attracted by something with unusually bright colors on a wall that was still standing inside the house.

No change occurred. Anvis walked through a gap in the collapsed wall and walked into the house where the 'living room' was originally.

Then, he saw an oil painting that was extremely new, as new as if it had just been painted.

A cute and smiling boy and girl hold hands and run on the orange beach.

The warm yellow sunset shrouds the two of them, and the background is also coated with a layer of burning golden red, the vast ocean as far as the eye can see. The color of the whole picture is very warm.

Anvis took a closer look at the painting, which was incompatible with its surroundings. He was now sure that it was the source of its vague attraction.
