Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 241: The Flying Fortress

Outside the ruins, members of the Union of Latin American Nations were crazy.

Everyone was looking at a giant crater on the ground. The crater was so deep that it was difficult to see the end.

But what happened at the site?

A few minutes ago ...

A large group of middle-aged and elderly people were surrounding the barrier and analyzing. They were trying to find out information about it.

"Sir, the team of specialists has arrived. They will analyze the barriers. As for skeletons, analyzes indicate that an item with a great amount of energy from death was responsible for giving life to these skeletons. But about the item, we are still investigating"

"I see ... An item with the powerful energy of death ... There are not many items with these characteristics in the world"

"Yes. But the specialist is having major headaches trying to figure out which item it is. They have no other clue than the energy of death "

"Calm down. They don't have to hurry. The item has already been removed by someone "

A group of mages dressed in white clothes was analyzing the barrier with energy detectors and much other electronic equipments.

"Any news?"

"The only thing we have found so far is that this barrier is extremely powerful, even a Saint Mage could not destroy it. Furthermore, this is extremely old, much older than the history of humanity"

"Older than humanity? Is that something from another Era? " Everyone was shocked to hear those words.

"Yes. It seems that these ruins are from another Era before ours. This may belong to the blood race or a race older than themselves"

"I see We are very lucky to find something like that here. If we can get inside these ruins, we may be able to find great treasures left by the ancient races. This will be a great discovery for the union. We can be lucky to have very valuable items inside "

Those words sparked the greed of everyone in the place. Previous Era items were coveted by all the countries in the world. That sort of thing was very rare to find.

At the same time, the place where these things are found was usually very dangerous. The Union of Latin American Nations is very lucky to find these ruins in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest.

"What are we going to do now? Should we spread this information out to the world or talk to government headquarters first? "

"We need to speak to the government first, but they are expected to release this information soon. Monopolizing something like that is something that our nation cannot do. The other nations will have reasons to invade us. So it is better to spread this news and make other nations come here "

"I think this is the best possible choice"

While the group was analyzing the barrier and the surrounding terrain. Something happened suddenly.

Shake Shake

The whole place started to shake as if an earthquake was going on.

"What is happening?? Why is the ground shaking ?? !!! "

"Is anyone doing this??"

"Sir, this is not something done by a mage. This is natural. There are no signs of magic energy being used"

"What the hell is going on??"

The members of the Union of Latin American Nations were taken by surprise when they felt these tremors, none of which knew what was happening.

Shake Shake

The tremor continued for a few more moments. Before something more surprising happened.

"Look !!!! The ruins !!! "

Everyone looked towards the ruins. What they saw was something of a shock.

Floating.

The ruins suddenly started to float. A gigantic city was revealed when the ruins rose to the sky. The city was buried underground and was only revealed when it ascended to the sky.

The city looked like a gigantic fortress made of stone. An ancient and majestic aura emanated from the fortress. Despite having gone through many Era hidden within the forest, the fortress still functioned perfectly.

"What is it???!!!"

"This is a flying fortress !!! The ancient flying fortresses !!! "

"According to the old records. Many Era ago, some civilizations used the flying fortresses to travel the world. This is amazing!!!"

"It seems that those who were fighting before we arrived managed to activate these ruins. Some of them must have been able to activate these ruins, but who are they ?? "

"I think I know the answer to that question" An old man looked at the horizon. He was looking towards the spider queen's royal palace.

"Keep monitoring, if anything happens. Notify the central immediately, I will see a person" The old man disappeared from the place.

Seconds after the old man disappeared. The fortress started to become transparent before disappearing too.

"How is this possible??!!! What just happened ??? !!! "

"Can anyone check in the sky if the fortress is still there ??? !!!"

"Negative!!! The fortress is gone, it is not invisible !!! " A group of mage flew to where the fortress was supposed to be. They realized that it was gone.

"Damn!!! We lost a great treasure !!! Send the news to the government headquarters !!! "

"Roger !!!"

News of an ancient Era ruin spread around the world like a huge forest fire. All the nations of the world have become greedy about this.

But as the fortress disappeared. Who will they look for? Just one person. The spider queen.

As the place ruler, she must know much more about the barrier than anyone else, besides, her man was also in her palace. As no one found out about him, they imagined that he may be one of the people who fought in front of the ruins.

It was not long before the entrance to the palace of the spider queen was full of people from all countries of the world. They wanted answers, even if it's a small clue.

The entrance to the spider queen's royal palace was in great turmoil. Sent from all nations, big shots, reporters and many other onlookers were on the scene to learn more about.

The main gate of the palace was opened.

A beautiful woman came out of the palace. The instant she left, the world stopped, time stopped. It seemed that there was only her in the world.

Its cold and heavenly beauty attracted everyone's attention. But unlike the first time she found, she no longer had the piercing, icy look. Her gaze became more tender and loving.

It looked like she had a big change in her mood and behavior. If before, she was a cold and indifferent woman, now, she has become a more mature woman and loveling than before. The woman who appeared was Laizsi, the spider queen.

What happened to her? For so many changes to happen to the spider queen.

These changes were noticed by those who had seen the spider queen before. But others don't know about it.

Reporters started taking pictures and commenting on what the spider queen looked like and what was happening at the site. The whole world was watching this.

Nobody wanted to lose the image of the spider queen on television. She is like a super idol because of her mature and seductive beauty.

"I hope you haven't waited too long. This queen was doing some important tasks "The spider queen spoke guiltily. Her actions made her look more attractive than usual. It was all-natural without any kind of ulterior reasons.

The weaker men felt their souls being pulled out by her. While the strongest held on to keep from falling.

"Spider Queen, we are the ones who apologize for showing up suddenly, but we have a few things to ask you"

"Are you referring to the ruins within a barrier at the edge of my territory?" The queen went straight to the point. She didn't have time to waste with these people, she had more important things to do.

"How the spider queen got right to the point. We have no reason to hide our objective. Yes, we are here to find out more about the ruins. " An old man spoke up.

Since the queen did not want to waste time, they will also not try to waste time.

"I can only say that those ruins were not there before, at least not a few dozen years ago. It was unearthed by someone a long time ago"

The words the spider queen shocked everyone on-site and in the world. Nobody imagined that the ruins were unearthed up by someone.

In the crowd, there were magicians with powers to detect lies. This served to verify the authenticity of the spider queen's words. As none of them spoke, the words she spoke are true.

(Who was it that unearthed these ruins ??) That was the question in the minds of everyone on the scene and the viewers who were watching television around the world.

"Spider Queen, do you know who was the person who unearthed the ruins?"

(If the spider queen knows that the ruins have been unearthed by someone, she must also know who was the person who did this. Or at least a guess)

"I don't know who the person was, but I have some information about them."

"!!!!!!!!!!" Her words caught everyone's attention.

"The person who came to dig up the ruins was someone from another race. That should be enough of an answer, right? " The spider queen did not say which race the person belonged to, but that was obvious to everyone at the site.

(People of another race ?? There is only one race besides the human race !!! Is it one of them ?? !!!) Everyone understood that the member of another race that the queen referred to was the blood race.

As the lie detectors did not manifest themselves. Her words were true.

"Spider Queen, what about your man? Do you know where he went? "

"I know where he went, but I can tell he is not a blood race. Besides, he fought with members of the blood race near the ruins. That should be enough, right? "

"!!!!!" The spider queen's words confirmed some suspicions from everyone.

Previously, information that the spider queen's man was accompanied by a member of the blood race was released. So they suspected that Liu Yang and Ivy can be the people who entered the ruins.

"Just so you know, I don't know if my man entered these ruins or not. He asked me not to follow him. So I can't answer something I don't know "The spider queen's tone was one of concern. She had confidence in Liu Yang, but she was still worried about him.
