Amid the irritating silence, Black Crow suddenly picked up the bottle of wine by the table and asked a strange question, "How did you get this bottle of wine?"

Dilu Ge was startled and said, "It was handed out during the banquet labor before."

"Do you usually drink this kind of wine?"

"No, it's only this time that they gave out such good wine." Dilu Ge shook her head, suddenly recalling something, "By the way, among the people Lord Oleva took down, there was not only the chef team, but they also moved quite a bit of wine. I smelled it when I passed by. Those wines seem to be the same as this bottle."

"So, they had already planned to live down there for a period of time..." Ash pondered and looked at the wine bottle in Black Crow's hand, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you so focused on this bottle of wine?"

Black Crow didn't answer Ash and instead pursued, "Have you seen a silver-haired woman, about the same height as me, who likes wearing a mask to cover half her face?"

Dilu Ge shook her head, "I'm not sure. There are quite a few silver-haired women; I'm not sure which one you're talking about."

Black Crow stopped asking questions. Ash glanced at him thoughtfully, but let the topic pass by tacit agreement, and opened his palm to ask, "What's this?"

Dilu Ge stared intently and saw that Ash held her black crystal card.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can I touch it? Otherwise, it's hard to explain."

Ash looked at Igula, Igula stared at Dilu Ge for a while before slowly nodding. When Dilu Ge touched the card, it suddenly emitted a glow, but Ash had the Holy Barrier, so naturally, he wasn't afraid of any threats from it.

In fact, there were no threats, as Ash picked it up to take a closer look, he saw the text on the card flipped around to suit his viewing angle—gravity sensors indeed.

Inside were lines of... the latest messages.

"Floating City's Transportation Department, Public Security Department Traffic Control Bureau reminds you, the October holiday is approaching, drive safely, don't fight for lanes, don't speed, don't overload, avoid fatigue driving, buckle up your seatbelt. The autopilot system can only be initiated on highways; unauthorized alteration of autopilot system permissions is deemed illegal behavior."

"Floating City's Meteorological Station reminds you, from the 10th to 11th, most areas of the city will have light to moderate rain, with local heavy rain or severe storms. Roads are slippery during rain, drive safely, all outdoor professions should take leave as per regulations."

"Great news! Floating City is now fully covered with augmented reality systems and has been honored as an Augmented Reality Model City! Our company sincerely invites you to experience quality augmented reality services; contact us for detailed activity information."

"[Gray Fox Literature]Fox Emperor Author Soren's new book 'For the Dim and Lightless World' has been on shelves for 77,302 days! Hurry to see it!"

"Floating Traffic Housekeeper: The current North-South road segment where you are is unobstructed. Safety is the top priority in driving, please adhere to traffic regulations."

Ash and the others looked around; there was only the stench-ridden air, walls made of corpses, and desolate land.

Perhaps this used to be the Floating City, perhaps the place they stood was once a highway, but now they could no longer see any traces of the Gray Fox civilization.

Yet, the information system left by the Gray Fox Mages was still operating normally. Countless signals, invisible to them, were continuously traversing through the air.

"This is the legacy I obtained from the Gray Fox," Dilu Ge said, "Other than receiving this information, it's useless."

"It's already quite useful," Ash returned the black crystal card to her, "Take good care of it."

Dilu Ge looked up at Igula, who remained expressionless and pressed a finger against her forehead.

"I have placed a fear shackle in your mind; if you actively leak our information, you will be consumed by fear, causing your mind to collapse," Swindler said blandly, "If there's a way for you to leak passively, I can't do anything."

Before Dilu Ge could speak, her eyes were covered by Igula.

After the familiar haze, Dilu Ge found herself sitting back in the chair, with the surroundings calm and quiet, as if nothing had happened just now.

But the glowing black crystal card and the vanished wine bottle both proved that she successfully escaped from the hands of a group of Holy Sanctuary Mages.

She sat blankly for a long time, without any mood to test if the fear shackle was real. She picked up the black crystal card, looking at the stream of information inside.

Her previous position at the Tribulation Fire Temple was as a relic researcher, responsible for following the research team to excavate Gray Fox relics. This card was a legacy she unearthed from a Gray Fox relic, coming to her hands simply because it was considered useless.

Before this, although Dilu Ge maintained her faith in the Tribulation Fire, she had little real sentiment toward the ideal of 'restoring civilization,' which felt more like a slogan akin to 'I want to unify the world' or 'I want to kill all the people on the other side to gain freedom.'

However, after obtaining this card and receiving information that was continuously updated daily, Dilu Ge realized for the first time that this was the civilization that the Tribulation Fire Temple sought to restore.

This was the ideal she was chasing.

Since then, she has passionately devoted herself to her work. Although only a Silver Mage, she became the lead relic researcher in the Tribulation Fire Temple.

Until the Four Pillars God Sect invaded the Dust Tribulation Fire Diocese.

Then she abandoned relic exploration and became a Sentinel, living in revelry every day to make up for the pleasures she hadn't enjoyed in the past twenty years.

But...

Dilu Ge then took out a small wine bottle from her pants pocket, gulped a few swigs, causing her face to flush and her consciousness to become fuzzy.

"Ah," she exhaled a breath of wine, lazily slumping in the chair.

"I still want to drink wine in the relics and then eat a plate of fried snacks."
