Chapter 20: The Ancient Mage's Ruins

Under the peaks of Star Island.

Lin Xiao was studying the stump.

Even if it is just a stump, it is also the stump of the Ten Thousand Year Star Tree, which may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the strong man who turned a blind eye to the entire Star Forest, but for the Immortal River Leader, it is also a rare treasure.

The stump is nearly half a meter high, barely enough to be used as a material for making arrows, and when the corresponding runes are carved, it can greatly increase the attack power when paired with the Centennial Star Bow or the Millennium Star Bow.

Here, Lin Xiao studied the stump, and the knights patrolled the neighborhood.

Tommy and another knight patrol the mountain, and just as they reached a small platform halfway up the mountain, their companions' eyes suddenly looked in one direction.

"Tommy, look, there's a stone door here. The companion reminded.

"I also saw it, this stone gate doesn't look simple, we have to report to the lord immediately, you are guarding here, I will go down immediately. Inspired by the discovery of the stump of the Ten Thousand Year Star Tree, Tommy felt that the gods were watching over him, and he couldn't wait to report the news to the lord.

It's not far.

Within a few minutes, Lin Xiao was led by the knight and rushed over.

The knights didn't have much knowledge, but Lin Xiao had a judgment at the first sight.

"It's a relic. ”

On Star Island, there are not only Star Forests, but also the remains of ancient cultivators.

This had to make him associate -

"Could it be that the 10,000-year-old star tree ......?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to see what existed behind the stone gate.

However, this stone gate is tall and heavy, and it is difficult to shake it with manpower.

"Everyone, look around to see if they can find the Stone Gate Mechanism. Lin Xiao mobilized the knights to search for it together.

In his previous life, he had seen a large number of ruins, and although he could basically only drink soup and pick up leaks after the powerful lords, at least he had accumulated some experience.

It's just that this time it didn't go so well.

Everyone searched for a long time, but found nothing.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Lin Xiao suddenly asked, "Have the people sent by the territory arrived?"

"We have already arrived and are working hard to set up camp. ”

"What about the ships that transport the people?"

"Docked on the shore. ”

"So, take down the rune cannon and blast open this stone door. Lin Xiao made a decision.

The method is simple and crude.

Soon, the knights brought in the rune cannons, loaded them with cannonballs, and fired.

"Boom!"

With the rune cannon bombarding at close range, accompanied by a loud noise, the mountains shook for a while, and smoke and dust were everywhere.

By the time the dust cleared, the heavy stone door had been blasted out of a large hole.

Fortunately, the material of the stone door is just ordinary stone, if it is a good stone, I am afraid it is not so easy.

"Captain Marcus went in with me, and the others stayed outside. ”

Lin Xiao took the lead, he looked at the stump and the stone gate carefully, there were traces of time, I am afraid that the age of this ruin is very old, and it is unlikely that there is any danger.

Passing through the stone door, what I saw was a simple hall, with many items and tools in a mess, all covered with dust.

Lin Xiao made a slight distinction, and found that they were basically alchemy tools, rune tools, and some materials scattered around, which seemed to be extremely cherished.

But.

Perhaps it was too old for the most part of these materials to be useless.

"It's a pity. ”

Lin Xiao recognized most of these materials, and they were all quite precious, but it was conceivable that the ancient cultivator was by no means simple.

"However, it stands to reason that there should be other stone chambers here. ”

Sure enough, just as he was about to search the hall, Makas's voice rang out: "My lord, there is a secret room here. ”

Lin Xiao suddenly looked over.

On the right side of the hall, in a slightly dimly lit place, there was indeed a hole that could almost pass through the two of them side by side.

Rejoicing in his heart, he walked over briskly and walked into the chamber with Marcas.

"Mage!"

The moment they entered, the two of them looked tense at the same time, staring into the depths of the secret room.

I saw that on the platform against the wall in the innermost part of the secret room, there was a figure sitting in a mage robe, but the light in the secret room was too dim, and the two of them couldn't see it really.

It wasn't until after a while that the two of them adapted to the light in the secret room that they realized that there was only a white bone inside the mage's robe, and the mage had been sitting for many years.

After discovering this, Lin Xiao took his eyes off the mage and looked at the entire secret room.

The secret room is not large, only a dozen meters in size, and the furnishings are relatively simple. In addition to stone tables and stone benches, there are also some dusty daily necessities, which are common things.

In the end, only three items caught his attention.

The first is a large bow hanging on the wall on the left. As expected, the bow body is deep purple-black, with strands of gold wire entwined, which is the treasure bow made by the heart of the Ten Thousand Year Star Tree. Hanging from the Ten Thousand Years Star Bow, there is also a quiver, but unfortunately, there are only three arrows in it.

The second is a wooden box placed on a stone platform.

The third is a knight's sword, the body of the sword is silver-blue, even in the dark secret room, it also exudes a sense of sharpness.

Of course, there are still some gold coins and gems in the secret room, but compared to these three items, it seems a little ordinary.

Walking to the wall, he took down the Ten Thousand Years Star Bow directly, and checked it in his hand, the deep purple-black bow body with gold wire was very textured, and it was covered with dense runes.

As for the only three arrows left in the quiver, they are obviously matched with the Ten Thousand Year Star Bow, but the number is too small, only three, if it is used up, with the current rune alchemy level of the Immortal River Leader, it is far from reaching the ability to refine.

After picking up the silver-blue knight's sword and wooden box, Lin Xiao walked out of the secret room and made arrangements as he walked: "Captain Marcas, immediately organize people to transport all the items in the ruins back to the territory and store them in the territory treasury." ”

The harvest of this trip has greatly exceeded his expectations.

Speaking of which, the top priority is to organize people to develop Star Island.

As for the treasures, just go back to the lord's mansion and do some research.

"In addition, the remains of the ancient mage's predecessors ......" Lin Xiao walked out of the ruins, glanced at the crisp hill behind him, and the joy of getting the treasure suddenly faded a little, "Find a place on this mountain and bury it properly." ”

Although it is still unclear the identity of this ancient mage's predecessor, just from the fact that he can refine the Ten Thousand Year Star Bow, he is not an ordinary person.

Who would have thought that such a strong man would sit silently on an inconspicuous island.

"If you don't become a strong person, you will end up in nothing. ”

Lin Xiao has a deep understanding of this.

In his previous life, he had already failed once, and in this life, he vowed to lead the Immortal River Leader to reach heights that no one could touch.
