Chapter 238 Teleportation Array, the Secret of the Mithril Empire's Disappearance, Beginning of
Looking down, there is no square below at all, it is just an enlarged version of a teleportation array!
Although Lu Ming didn't know how to set up a teleportation array, he had seen one and knew some of its runes.
"No wonder there are space crystals everywhere, it turns out this square is a teleportation array!"
Lu Ming returned to Situ Mingzhu and told her his discovery.
"What? This is a large teleportation array!"
Situ Mingzhu was also shocked when he heard the news.
She had never seen such a huge teleportation array!
"A teleportation array of this level can transport at least hundreds of thousands of people at a time!"
"What is the purpose of the Mithril Empire building such a large teleportation array?"
"Is it true that a large number of people are being transported?"
At this moment, Ale came running over in a hurry.
"Lu Ming, Ming Zhu, look what I found?"
Ale ran over with a palm-sized book in his hand.
When Lu Ming took the book, he found that it was actually a diary.
【Treasure House Guard Diary】
[September 3521, of the Destiny Calendar, kilograms of mithril and a -year-old Earth Demon Spider corpse were deposited]
[On October 3521, in the Destiny Calendar, team member Jiang Gan was absent-minded. He suspected that he had lost money gambling last night and was afraid to go home to see his wife]
[November 3521, in the Destiny Calendar. I can have a day off tomorrow. I can go visit the widow next door again. I am so happy!]
........
Lu Ming looked at the diary. It only recorded daily events, nothing special.
If an archaeologist who is interested in the Mithril Empire would definitely be happy to get this book, but it is of no use to Lu Ming.
"That's it?" Lu Ming returned the diary to A Le.
"I thought you found some treasure, but this is of no use to us."
Ah Le handed the diary to Lu Ming again: "Take another look at it, and read on."
Seeing A Le's expression, Lu Ming knew that there must be some valuable information behind this diary.
He patiently kept flipping through the diary until he reached the last page.
[June 3522, in the Destiny Calendar, this is a great day! ]
[The great king announced that the empire has found a solution to the disease of affluence! ]
[When this news was announced, the entire Mithril Empire was filled with jubilation. People celebrated enthusiastically. Finally, they no longer had to endure the torture of affluenza and no longer had to worry about their offspring.]
Seeing this, Lu Ming was a little confused: "Disease of affluence? What kind of disease is this?"
"Looking at the records in the diary, it seems that the entire Mithril Empire is suffering from the disease of affluence."
Ah Le seemed to see what Lu Ming was thinking and explained.
"Disease of affluence, a disease that only occurs in the Mithril Region. Rather than calling it a disease, it's more like a chronic poison!"
"Chronic poisoning?" Lu Ming was shocked.
"How is this going?"
Lu Ming noticed at this time that Situ Mingzhu beside him had a very calm expression when he heard the news, as if he had known it for a long time.
"Mingzhu, do you also know about this disease of affluence?"
Situ Mingzhu nodded: "I know."
"Everyone knows that mining in the Mithril Mine Area is not safe."
"But few people know that this insecurity not only refers to the monsters and bandits in the mining area, but also includes the diseases of affluence."
"Diseases of affluence are endemic to the Mithril Mine. Anyone who spends a year in the Mithril Mine will definitely get this disease."
"There is only one consequence of getting a disease of affluence: shortened lifespan."
When he heard that it would shorten his lifespan, Lu Ming was shocked.
But Situ Mingzhu continued, "Of course, the shortening of life due to diseases of affluenza is not much, only one month."
"A month?"
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Even though his life span would be shortened, one month's loss was still acceptable.
Seeing Lu Ming's relaxed expression, A Le added.
"Don't think that losing one month of life is not a big deal, but diseases of affluence have a very deadly characteristic, and that is heredity!"
"Once you have a disease of affluence, your descendants will all have it."
Lu Ming frowned upon hearing this: "If that's the case, wouldn't the life span of people who have lived in the Mithril Mine for generations be shortened a lot?"
Situ Mingzhu said at this time: "I have seen a fragment of a book about the Mithril Empire in Xingyun City before. It records that the life expectancy of people in the Mithril Empire is generally very low, and it seems that they do not live beyond the age of 40."
When Lu Ming heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes. He looked at the huge teleportation array under his feet, as if he had guessed something.
Lu Ming continued reading his diary.
[The king announced that a natural teleportation array appeared in the treasury. According to exploration, a paradise suitable for human survival was discovered. ]
[This is simply good news from heaven. In this way, the empire can break the blockade of the two empires of fate and find a new place to settle down. There is no need to worry about being wiped out by the rich disease! ]
Seeing this, Lu Ming could basically conclude that the Mithril Empire disappeared overnight not because of an accident, but because they took the initiative to leave through the teleportation array.
Sure enough, the back of the diary recorded information about the Mithril Empire leaving the mining area through a teleportation array.
[Destiny Calendar, August 3522, . Under the king's arrangement, all residents of the empire left the mining area through the teleportation array.]
This is the end of the diary entry.
"It turns out that the Mithril Empire people left through a large teleportation array."
But soon Lu Ming discovered something was wrong.
"Since the entire Mithril Empire left, why didn't they move the treasury as well?"
Ah Le rubbed his head and said, "Who cares? It's good that we didn't move away. Otherwise, we would have nothing."
Ah Le had no time to think about these things, his eyes were now filled with treasures in the treasury.
Situ Mingzhu thought of a possibility: "Maybe they don't want to give up this place completely, and they want to come back one day. After all, there is extremely precious mithril here."
Lu Ming agreed with Situ Mingzhu's guess.
"You're right. They should want to come back after settling down there."
"Why didn't they come back?"
Lu Ming didn't understand this point.
A moment later, Lu Ming began to patrol the huge teleportation array.
He was very interested in the final destination of the Mithril Empire and wanted to know where they went.
Through inspection, Lu Ming discovered that the teleportation array was well preserved, which made him very excited.
"As long as there are enough space crystals, the formation can be activated. Then I can know where the people of the Mithril Empire migrated to."
Situ Mingzhu walked over at this time. She had seen everything Lu Ming had done just now.
"Lu Ming, do you want to find out where the Mithril Empire is?"
Lu Ming nodded: "You guessed right."
"Ten thousand years ago, the Mithril Empire left the country, but ten thousand years have passed and there is no news of them on the continent. Aren't you curious?"
"I am a little curious, but I do have some guesses about their whereabouts."
Lu Ming looked at her in surprise: "Do you know where they are?"
"Ten thousand years have passed, and there is still no news about them on the mainland. This means that the place they are in is very isolated, and people on the mainland can't find them at all."
“There’s only one place that meets these conditions.”
"where is it?"
"An isolated island overseas!"
The world where Lu Ming lives also has oceans, and they are more vast than the continents.
There are also countless islands in the vast ocean, which are called overseas isolated islands.
However, most of these islands are occupied by sea creatures, and there are very few unowned islands.
In fact, the most powerful race in this world is neither humans nor monsters, but the sea people.
The ocean is so huge, hundreds of times larger than the land, and it is home to countless sea creatures, among which there are countless powerful races.
It’s just that the sea creatures in this world are a peace-loving race and they will never take the initiative to provoke a war.
They have never invaded the mainland and have lived in peace with the monsters and humans on the mainland.
"An isolated island overseas?"
Lu Ming whispered softly, his eyes gleaming with interest.
"Lu Ming, Ming Zhu, come quickly."
A Le's voice suddenly came from a distance, as if he had discovered something.
Lu Ming pulled Situ Mingzhu and flew over.
"what happened?"
Ah Le came up to the two of them holding a small box and asked, "Look what this is?"
Lu Ming looked at the box and found only two things inside.
A bloody letter. The letter seemed to be very old, causing the bloodstains on the letter to be severely oxidized and turned directly black.
In addition to the letter, there was also a huge jade seal.
Before Lu Ming could take a closer look, Situ Mingzhu beside him exclaimed, "The Imperial Seal!"
As a princess, Situ Mingzhu was very familiar with the emperor's seal and recognized it at a glance.
She immediately picked up the jade seal and examined it carefully: "This is..."
Seeing her surprised expression, Lu Ming couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"
Situ Mingzhu was shocked and said, "It's the jade seal of the Mithril Empire!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming frowned instantly.
Although the Mithril Empire has relocated its entire nation, how could something like the Imperial Seal be left here?
You have to know that the imperial seal is a symbol of the inheritance of a country's ruler. In many cases, it represents the supreme imperial power.
Lu Ming looked at Ah Le: "Ah Le, where did you find this out?"
"right here."
Ah Le said this, pointing to the letter in the box.
"You read this letter, and you will have an unexpected gain."
Seeing this, Lu Ming picked up the letter. There were very few words on it, just a few sentences.
[This is a scam! The Mithril Empire is over, and it's all my fault! ]
[Later generations must not open the teleportation array, otherwise humanity will be devastated, remember this! ]
Signed: Emperor of the Mithril Empire, Yelu Qi’s last work!
After this there was a dark red bloodstain.
Lu Ming looked at the letter and frowned even more tightly.
"What happened back then?"
"Didn't the Mithril Empire migrate to a paradise suitable for living? Why is there such a letter?"
"Did the Mithril Empire encounter an accident there?"
Situ Mingzhu was also shocked when she saw the contents of the letter. She looked at Lu Ming with some concern.
"Lu Ming, it's better not to activate the teleportation array."
Lu Ming looked at the teleportation formation under his feet, his eyes flashing with light.
After a moment, he made a decision.
"I want to activate the teleportation array!"
"What?" Ah Le and Situ Mingzhu were both shocked.
Ah Le frowned: "Lu Ming, you have already read the letter. Something must have happened over there. It's very dangerous. Why did you still activate the teleportation array?"
Lu Ming said in a serious tone: "It is necessary to believe what is written in the letter, but it is also not possible to believe everything."
"And I also want to know what the Mithril Empire went through back then."
Ah Le and Situ Mingzhu looked at each other, their faces not looking very good.
Suddenly, Ale seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Even if you want to activate the teleportation array, you can't do it."
He pointed at the treasures in the treasury and said, "There are countless treasures here, but there is no Space Crystal. Your idea cannot be realized at all."
After Ah Le's reminder, Situ Mingzhu finally came to his senses and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Ming didn't say anything, but looked at the two of them with an inexplicable look.
"Since this is impossible, let's go."
Although there are countless treasures here, the three of them alone cannot take them away.
The three of them discussed it and decided not to take anything with them but only took three sets of materials for making a Heavenly Grade Fortune Teller's Scepter.
When the three walked out of the trap passage, they immediately felt their vitality restored.
In the flashing light, Ale summoned out the two-headed demon wolf.
"Finally I can get back on my mount."
Situ Mingzhu also summoned Qingluoyi and put it on. With the protection of Qingluoyi, she was safe.
Lu Ming summoned the box monster and put the materials he brought out from the treasure house into it.
He looked at the two of them and said apologetically.
"sorry."
"what?"
Under the astonished gazes of A Le and Situ Mingzhu, Lu Ming took out a large bag of space crystals from the box monster.
He had obtained these space crystals from the treasury of the new Lizardman King in Silverlight City.
The moment they saw the Crystal of Space, A Le and Situ Mingzhu were horrified.
"Lu Ming, what are you going to do?"
"I also decided to activate the teleportation array."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Ming rushed into the trap passage again.
"Lu Ming, wait a minute, let's go together."
A Le and Situ Mingzhu shouted loudly behind him, but Lu Ming did not stop. He disappeared in the passage in just a few breaths.
A Le and Situ Mingzhu were desperately chasing after him, but within the treasury, their life force was sealed by the Death Array and they could only rely on themselves to run. How could they catch up with Lu Ming!
Riding the wind in the air, Lu Ming quickly arrived at the teleportation array.
The Space Crystals were placed quickly, and when the last Space Crystal was placed, the entire teleportation array emitted a faint glow.
The teleportation array was started successfully.
The moment Lu Ming was teleported away, he looked back where he came from.
"Ah Le, Ming Zhu, don't blame me. I can't predict the safety this time."
Suddenly, a bright light shone from the teleportation array.
When the light disappeared, Lu Ming had already disappeared into the teleportation array.
The reason why Lu Ming insisted on opening the teleportation array was because of a mysterious feeling, his sixth sense!
His sixth sense told him that he must activate the teleportation array.
A few seconds later, Lu Ming appeared in an unfamiliar cave with a slight dizziness.
Feeling the surge of life force in his body, Lu Ming knew that the transmission was successful.
He walked quickly towards the exit of the cave: "Let me see what the paradise that the Mithril Empire talked about back then is."
