In the deep shadows of the ancient ruins, the morning sun barely penetrated the dense canopy, casting its light on Leia and her companions' faces. They traversed the moss-covered stone steps, delving into the depths of the ruins. Leia, dressed in simple explorer's attire, led the way, her hair gently swaying in the breeze. Her expression was a mix of curiosity and determination, reflecting her fearless nature.
Sylas, with his trademark aloof demeanor, followed behind, his deep eyes constantly observing everything around, seemingly searching for any unusual signs. He tightly gripped the staff made of Gem Dragon, ready to face any potential dangers.
Evan and Minah exchanged their views on the ruins in a low and serious tone, as if discussing an important decision. Minah's eyes carried a hint of worry, while Evan appeared particularly serious.
At that moment, Leia suddenly stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowed as she gazed at Darien walking in the distance. "Wait," she whispered to Evan and Minah beside her, "have you noticed Darien's particular interest in certain areas? His behavior seems a bit unusual."
Evan nodded, his voice low: "I've noticed that too. His interest in certain areas seems to go beyond ordinary curiosity."
Minah furrowed her brow lightly: "Yes, he seems particularly focused on those forgotten altars, as if searching for something."
Leia had a determined look on her face: "We need to closely monitor his actions. We can't let any potential threats jeopardize our expedition."
The three of them decided to remain highly vigilant, ready to respond to any unforeseen events that Darien might bring. They continued forward, navigating through a series of complex maze-like passages, taking each step with caution.
At this moment, Sylas approached Leia and his voice carried a hint of disdain: "So, our foolish princess finally begins to doubt that mysterious nobleman? I thought you would be swayed by his splendid appearance and sweet words."
Leia responded with a determined look: "I never easily trust anyone, Sylas. I will uncover the truth, no matter how hidden it may be."
Darien turned around with a smile and said, "We have arrived. There is a special area here that holds the secrets of an ancient dynasty."
They arrived at a vast open space with a huge stone stele standing in the center, covered with ancient runes. In the vast and ancient open space, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, casting onto the massive stone stele in the center, causing the ancient runes to shimmer gently. Darien strode briskly towards the stele, his eyes filled with barely contained excitement.
Leia keeps a certain distance from her companions, her sharp gaze fixed on every move of Darien. A look of distrust is evident on her face, with a slight curl of her lips, as if silently assessing the situation.
Beside her, Sylas stands, his cold and elegant posture unmoving like a sculpture, but his deep blue-green eyes reveal a profound disdain for Darien. He sneers, "Look at this so-called intellectual, so fascinated by a piece of stone. It's ridiculous, how could a human understand the true value of these ancient runes."
Leia glanced at Sylas from the side and retorted without reservation: "At least he is trying to find answers, unlike some people who only know how to stand on the sidelines and mock." Her voice revealed dissatisfaction, but also conveyed a hint of firm belief.
Sylas just snorted and turned away, ignoring Leia's words, but his gaze remained fixed on Darien, as if alert to any potential mishaps.
At that moment, Darien lightly touched the runes on the stone monument, and the monument suddenly emitted a soft light, illuminating the entire clearing. This light seemed to contain ancient and mysterious power, leaving everyone feeling a strange sense of awe.
A hint of curiosity and amazement flashed in Leia's eyes, and she couldn't help but take a step forward, seemingly drawn in by this mysterious power. She whispered, "What... what kind of power is this? Could this be the secret hidden in the ruins?"
Sylas became even more vigilant as he gazed at the stone monument, murmuring to himself, "This power... is unusual. We must be careful, there may be unknown dangers hidden here."
At this moment, the entire clearing was enveloped in a mysterious and ancient aura. Leia and her team realized that they might truly be standing at a pivotal moment that could change history. Everyone held their breath, waiting for what was about to unfold.
As the light of the monument gradually brightened, a sense of unease rose in Leia's heart. Her gaze lingered on Darien, trying to capture every movement and change in expression. Leia's intuition told her that this mysterious nobleman was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
Sylas, standing to the side, had a hint of a sneer on his lips. His eyes revealed disdain and wariness towards Darien. Watching Leia's attention on this mysterious figure, Sylas couldn't help but contemptuously say, "It seems our foolish princess has finally started using her brain, instead of relying solely on impulse."
Leia turned around and faced Sylas with a determined look in her eyes: "What we are searching for here is not just ancient secrets, but also the possible conspiracies hidden within. I won't let anyone's sweet talk blind my eyes."
At that moment, Darien suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned around, and faced Leia and her team, his eyes revealing a hint of complex emotion. "I know you have doubts about me, but I assure you, my purpose aligns with yours, which is to seek the truth."
Leia gazed at Darien, trying to read the true emotions from his eyes. Her heart was still filled with doubts, but she also realized that Darien's knowledge was crucial to their adventure.
Evan and Minah looked at each other, their eyes also filled with uncertainty. However, both chose to remain silent for the moment, continuing to observe Darien's every move.
Suddenly, Sylas stepped forward, his eyes sharp as a knife, staring directly at Darien. "If you truly intend to travel with us, then prove your sincerity," he said, his voice cold and resolute.
Darien nodded, returning a calm gaze. "I am willing to accept your test."
Subsequently, Darien led them to a secluded passage. The passage was narrow and dark, with thick vines and moss covering the walls, and the air was filled with an ancient scent.
Leia and her team followed closely behind. The passage seemed to lead to an unknown world, a place hidden with ancient secrets.
At the end of that narrow, pitch-black passage, a spacious and mysterious underground chamber appeared before everyone's eyes. In the center of this chamber, a grand altar constructed from ancient stone stood, emitting a faint and ethereal blue light, like the faintest starlight in the night sky. Darien approached the altar with light steps, his eyes shimmering with uncontainable excitement.
Leia followed closely behind. Her gaze was firm and vigilant, with a barely perceptible smile at the corner of her mouth, seemingly filled with anticipation for what was about to unfold.
Sylas stood aside, his eyes cold and stern, with a hint of disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth. He sneered softly, "These foolish humans know very little about ancient power, yet always consider themselves extraordinary. It's ridiculous."
Leia glared at Sylas and retorted unapologetically, "At least we are trying to find answers, unlike some people who only know how to stand aside and mock." There was a hint of resilience in her tone, showing her unwillingness to back down.
At that moment, Darien's fingers lightly touched the runes on the altar, and the entire underground chamber suddenly shook. Intense beams of light shot out from the altar, illuminating the entire space as if the stars in the night sky had suddenly descended to the ground.
Leia and her team were momentarily stunned by this sudden change, their faces filled with astonishment and confusion. Leia tightly gripped her weapon, gritting her teeth: "What power is this? Could this be the secret we've been searching for?"
Sylas's expression became serious, a hint of alertness flashed in his eyes as he whispered, "Be careful, there may be ancient unknown dangers hidden here. We must stay vigilant."
As the tremors in the basement grew more intense, ancient mechanisms seemed to be triggered, and a powerful and mysterious force reverberated in the basement. Leia and her team realized that they might be standing at a pivotal moment that could change their fate. Everyone held their breath, tensely awaiting what would happen next.
