202. A weak monster that suddenly appeared

The gold coin Klee found was not large, smaller than a steel hammer on earth, but it was beautiful, clearly patterned, and brightly colored, not at all like it had just been dug up, but rather as if it had just been minted.

This obviously shouldn't have been in an ancient temple.

But even the elves, in this day and age, are gradually phasing out this precious metal currency, and are following the example of humans, using paper money that is more convenient and easier to control, and even if coins are used, it should be ordinary money minted from ordinary metal.

Therefore, it is not possible that this gold coin is really newly minted, which is a bit odd.

Klee went on to explain:

"That's what we find strange, because it's a long history, but it's always new, so strange?"

"And not only the gold coins, but also some other utensils, ornaments, and statues in the main entrance hall are also very well preserved, and not even dust has been glued to them."

"Teacher Orianna thinks that there may be some kind of magical power in this temple that allows these collections to be intact."

As she spoke, she looked a little excited, and her little face was filled with that longing look.

"Perhaps, this power can be used to heal Daddy's arm?"

It seems that she is still thinking about her father's left arm, and she can't find a suitable way in reality, so she puts her mind on these ancient ruins.

Luo Er smiled and rubbed his daughter's head, feeling a little warm in his heart, his daughter cared about herself so much, she really didn't hurt her in vain.

However, he doesn't care much about the condition of his left hand, which is quite convenient at present, and it is very useful for home travel, murder and arson, and if it really returns to a normal left hand, it will be a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry about this, Dad has long been used to it, just follow the fate."

"You don't want to take any chances for this little thing, you have to be safe, you know? Dad is just a vulgar martial artist, and he doesn't know much about supernatural powers, so he may not be able to help. ”

"I remember to listen to Oriana, although she is only level 4, she is quite knowledgeable, serious and responsible, and is a reliable teacher."

Luo Er persuaded very seriously, for fear that his daughter would risk her life for herself.

Klee was a little confused, why did Teacher Oriana degenerate into a fourth-order when I woke up from sleep?

Bada butterfly evolves an ironclad chrysalis?

"Ah yes, is there anything else to be gained besides these artifacts?"

Rohr asked again.

Klee shook her head:

"No, although these relics are delicate and precious, they are not ancient mysteries, and we have to continue to explore."

Klee said, pulling out her album again, and then burrowing into Rohr's arms, flipping to some of the pages, on which were some portraits of artifacts underneath her sketches.

The previous elf gold coin, more than a dozen have been discovered, Klee can take one with her to play with and study, while other slightly larger cultural relics, the output is not so much, can only be kept uniformly, transported back to the imperial capital and then studied.

She then pointed to the bottles and jars on it and gave Rohr a brief introduction.

Father and daughter were chatting happily when they suddenly heard several gunshots outside the camp coming from the direction of the temple.

The father and daughter glanced at each other, quickly stood up, dodged out of the tent, and hurried in the direction of the temple.

As a result, when I arrived at the scene, I found that it was not a big deal.

It turned out that several members of the archaeological team were trying to explore the fifth floor of the temple, which is the basement, when they were suddenly attacked by two monsters.

The monster's scientific name is the 'Giant Black Beetle', and it is a beetle-like monster, about the size of an adult rabbit, covered in a dark carapace, with three pairs of gastropods underneath, and a scorpion tail with a poisonous needle hanging from the back of its buttocks.

It may seem a little scary, but in reality there is only one level of danger, which is how easily an adult can easily solve it with a weapon.

This is basically the weakest grade, even the stinger on the tail, because the dose is too low, it can't pose any threat to humans, but it will be stinged very painfully, saying that it is a monster, but it is better to say that it is a large insect.

The two giant black beetles came out of nowhere, startling the archaeological team, and then they took out their arquebuses for self-defense and killed them on the spot......

Seeing that there was no danger, Rohr approached the corpse of the giant black beetle, picked it open with the tip of his sword, and examined the flesh underneath the carapace.

This monster was the first time he had encountered it, so he habitually saw if he could eat it.

It's a pity that judging from his experience in eating monsters, this thing must be very difficult to eat, and it can't be removed from the head, and the protein content is also very low......

Or the delicious ones that haunt the neighborhood of the village!

Oriana soon arrived at the scene with black circles under her eyes, and after inquiring about the situation, she furrowed her beautiful eyebrows slightly and muttered in a low voice:

"Strange, why is this little bug here? Aren't they suitable for living in a highland environment? ”

She couldn't help but recall the mysterious power in the temple that kept everything intact and new, and vaguely smelled something was wrong.

However, after spreading the perception and covering the entire 12-story temple, I didn't find the slightest thing, there were no power fluctuations and no signs of life in it.

My perception is disturbed?

She probably had some idea in her mind, and found Rohr, who was still watching the bugs at the scene, so she leaned over and tugged at his sleeve.

"Mr. Rohr, I have a bold idea......"

Oriana took Rohr back to her tent and explained to him the plan in his mind.

This plan was indeed a bit bold, and after listening to it, Luo Er asked with a surprised face:

"What? You're planning to let you, me, and my daughter explore all 12 floors of the temple together? ”

"Just because there are two bugs?"

Orianna nodded solemnly and explained:

"This giant black beetle is actually not much more powerful than a real insect, and the reason why it is listed as a monster is mainly because they are often associated with some powerful monsters."

"They usually inhabit the bodies of some large monsters, help them clean their bodies of parasites, or use the toxins on their tail spines to treat the injuries of some monsters."

Feelings are still an acupuncture master?

Luo Er couldn't help but slander in his heart, and continued to ask:

"So you're worried that there are some powerful monsters lurking in the ruins? But don't you transcendent beings have sentience? Can't find out? ”

Orianna shook her head.

"I've confirmed it many times with a perception check before, and I haven't found any power fluctuations and signs of life, but this kind of monster still appears, indicating that perception may be disturbed, and it is also possible that the monster in it has some unique concealment method."

"The perception of the transcendent is not omnipotent, it is easy to be influenced and deceived, and it is not always reliable."

After listening to this, Rohr also understood the necessity of Oriana's plan.

If there really is some powerful monster that can hide from the perception and hide in the depths of the temple and suddenly kill people when they are unprepared, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

For example, the strawberry ice cream that suddenly popped up on the side of the Fertile Valley last time was a rather tricky big stupid monster, and if he wasn't there at the time, it would inevitably be a thousand miles of red ground and life.

Rohr had accepted Oriana's plan in his heart, but there were still some details he wanted to ask:

"Is it powerful to hide in the ruins like this?"

Oriana shook her head, indicating that it was unclear.

"But one thing is for sure, the more powerful the monsters entrenched inside, the more likely it is to unearth powerful ancient mysteries."

"Powerful monsters have a certain instinct to seek extraordinary power, and ancient mysteries, which are closer to the transcendent essence, have a great attraction to them, and may even attract some special monsters......"

The special monster in her mouth is naturally the heir of the evil god who has been ordered by the scholars to change its name.

Just like the sword that Luo Er used before, which attracted two delicious lobsters from the depths of the Chaos Domain, the ancient mysteries unearthed in the ruins have a similar attraction.

And this situation is not uncommon, at least eighteen years ago, every time a powerful mystery is unearthed, it will always be accompanied by a bloody storm, between humans and humans, and between humans and monsters.

The few level 0 holy relics currently held by the empire were all snatched back at the cost of blood, and even fell to demigods and saints.

Therefore, important archaeological activities must be carried out in the presence of powerful transcendents, even if they are in the Empire's sphere of influence like today, because it is really very dangerous.

It's just that in the past 18 years, archaeological activities have become less dangerous, basically only some small frictions with barbarians, and there have been no more mass casualties, and the most dangerous case of Fertile Valley No. 12 has also ended in an unexpectedly optimistic ending.

This is really the safest and most comfortable 18 years for mankind.

Rohr went on to ask Orianna several other details, such as the specific plan of action, the timing point, etc., until the end, he asked the most crucial question:

"Why don't you go with Master Anheim, but me? And call my daughter? ”

Orianna lowered her voice and explained in a low voice:

"Master Anheim is old and has some difficulty moving, so I don't want to work hard for him, so it's better to let him stay at the archaeological site......"

"As for Klee, we explored in advance this time, and there are still a lot of things that need to be recorded, and her sketching ability is very much needed."

"You know, right? Documenting these ancient artifacts and relics, taking pictures is not a particularly good means, or sketching is more safe and reliable. ”

Of course, these are just lip service excuses.

In fact, the real reason is very simple, she just wants to have a family adventure.

As for sketching or something, in fact, she can do it too, with Sage-level body control, sketching is almost like a photocopier, only stronger than Klee.

But since it's a family's adventure, of course, you still have to bring your daughter.

Rohr thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Anyway, her daughter should still be safe with her, not to mention that her own swordsmanship has not fallen, and she is not a weak little girl.

So, he nodded in agreement.

Orianna jumped out of the tent and ran to arrange the details, as happy as a girl going out on a date.

Such an investigation operation, which is related to the safety of the entire activity, is naturally carried out as soon as possible, and of course it must be carried out overnight.

Orionna first asked the other members of the archaeological team to shrink back to the ground floor, and then took Roel and Klee to explore the underground layer where the giant black beetle had appeared before.

Instead of refusing and resisting, Klee was very happy.

She's been wanting to have a big adventure with her dad for a long time!

Rohr is not averse, he has always been curious about the interior of this magnificent ruin, and he was not embarrassed to disturb other people's archaeology before, so he could only endure his curiosity.

So he's pretty happy, too.

The family of three was in a good mood, and they changed into transformative armor at the entrance of the spiral staircase down, and then Rohr took the lead and slowly descended the stairs to the fifth floor of the temple, which is the basement level.

There are still murals on the walls here, but they have nothing to do with the protagonist boy above, the murals depict more like the history of the entire elf race, because of the basement here, so the murals just started from scratch.

It is probably the story of a few small people with pointed ears who hunted all kinds of wild beasts with bows and arrows and spears on the murals, and then established villages and tribes.

Some of the murals also show several figures of short stature and twisted limbs, looking as funny and ugly as monkeys.

"That's us humans, and we've seen our image on the mural above, and we're like that in their eyes."

Orianna explained.

The deformed armor on her body seems to be a little easier to use than Rohr's cutting-edge prototype from the hands of the barbarians, and she actually has a magic searchlight installed on her shoulder, which is very convenient.

On the other hand, Rohr's cutting-edge trial model can only illuminate himself with a magic torch and a light stick, which makes him quite envious of Oriana's armor function.

It can only be said that the trial model is a trial model after all.,The details and the degree of perfection are definitely not as good as the standard model.,The strongest situation of the trial model can only appear in the huge robot cartoon after all.。

"Did you notice anything wrong?"

Rohr put away the little envy in his heart and asked in a low voice.

"No, I only found the holes that the two bugs had drilled."

Oriana said, shaking the wall next to her with a searchlight on her shoulder, where two black holes were exposed in one of the murals, destroying the integrity of the entire mural.

"Since it came out of here, could there be more in there? Or even a worm nest? ”

Rohr guessed.

When Klee heard that more bugs might pop up, she shuddered, leaned over to Rohr, and hugged her father's arm tightly.

She's still scared of bugs.
