Chapter 359: Ruins, Pits, Harvest
As a professional leveler for the "Great Voyage" game, Raymond has been in the "dark dungeon" of the Giant's Court and the Fattron underground for a long time.
This is a rare monster dense area and a wild treasure hunt area, and it is an excellent place to upgrade and fight equipment.
He is familiar with almost all the monster lairs on the first and second floors of the dungeon, the dwarven building layout and security lines.
Although most of the crypt creatures are very aggressive, if you really understand the habits of those monsters and be familiar with the safe lines of the map, whether it is monster farming or treasure hunting, it is not much of a threat.
This "dark dungeon" is now a dangerous "flesh millstone" for everyone else. But for Raymond, it's no different from a back garden with a bit of spiders and ants.
At least, that's the area where the first three floors are explored and figured out by the player.
......
The "Ghost Regiment" did not rush down to the ground like other adventurers, but wandered around the city for a long time.
Raymond purchased some essential expedition tools, ropes, magic lamps, insect repellent powder, phosphorus fire powder... There is a complex terrain environment underground, and you need to prepare a lot of necessary expedition equipment.
And Lulu listened to Raymond's advice and prepared enough various potions, trauma, corrosion, toxins, scalds, awakening... to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations.
The two mechanics, Colin and Nicole, checked their mechanical combat suits, replenished enough energy and ammunition, and added some professional caving equipment...
Anna has a recorder and mapping equipment ready, and she plans to draw a map of her adventure...
Thor brought a spear and a round shield...
The fat cat and the monkey didn't seem to have anything to prepare, so they brought pots and pans and a lot of food...
Raymond's unhurried treasure hunt is due to the fact that he knows very well that this "dark dungeon" underneath is many times larger than the city of Gafatlon.
Blindly going to the ground does not necessarily lead to the opportunity, but will also encounter danger to life.
This dungeon is like a pyramid. The Giant's Court is at the spire of the tower, and the area is not large; And the ancient dwarven city is the base of the pyramid, I don't know how wide. In this pyramid, submerged by the sea, only the spire emerged.
The Ancient Dwarves were a natural "craftsman" in mythology, skilled in mining and blacksmithing.
When the dwarves discovered the deposits, they built their cities in the pits left behind by the excavations. Therefore, the dwarven cities are generally built on the mountain, and most of the buildings are hidden in the belly of the mountain.
The Agafatron Underground is rich in mineral resources, which should have flourished in ancient times.
There was once an ancient dwarven race active here, and it is believed that this "dark dungeon" is the origin of this "dark dungeon".
......
The news that there was an ancient relic in the underground of the Giant King's Court soon spread throughout Gafatlon. This astonishing discovery also spread through various news channels, as if it had grown wings, and quickly spread throughout the Endless Sea.
It won't be long before adventurers and explorers from all seas flock to the door.
Therefore, all these adventurers in the city now have a sense of urgency in their hearts, and they all want to be one step ahead of others to explore this ancient ruin that has been sealed for countless years.
Now that it has been determined that there is an ancient ruin underneath the Gafatron ground, these thousands of meters of rock formation can no longer stop adventurers.
Not long after the news broke, countless pirate groups and adventure groups were all dispatched... Outside the city of Gafatlon, countless newly dug and bottomless holes have sprung up.
......
After the purchase was ready, Raymond led the ghost group out of the city.
They found a hidden place more than ten miles away from the city, and also planned to dig a pit to enter the dungeon.
This is the approximate area that Raymond picked.
Although it is not far away is the entrance to the "dark dungeon" where players find it, it will save a lot of effort to enter from there. But he didn't say much, and followed everyone's wishes, choosing to dig a tunnel to enter the ruins.
This time, he didn't intend to be too omniscient.
As long as the direction you choose is not a big problem, he will usually go along with everyone's proposals. He also didn't want a treasure hunt adventure that everyone was looking forward to and become a "prophetic solitary show" of his own.
With Colin and Nicole as two mechanics, digging a pit couldn't be easier.
Even if the rock formations under Gafatlon's ground are getting stronger and stronger, they can't stop the mechanical excavation.
The people of the "Ghost Regiment" are like the captain who touches the gold of the hill, making a "thief hole" and going all the way down the rope. The underground world does not see light all year round, the temperature is much lower than the ground, and the wind blows, which always makes people feel like they are swimming in ice water.
"Boast..."
After a while, the crowd heard the sound of stones falling to the ground.
"Captain, we seem to have dug into the ruins!"
Colin's excavation equipment finally dug into an open space, like a tunnel through a pit, estimated to be two meters high.
Raymond and the others in the back also rushed in and jumped off the pit.
Anna's eyes were full of excitement, "Wow... Finally said yes. β
Clearly, Colin was more interested in the pit.
He casually picked up a piece of rock fragment that had just been knocked out of the "robbery hole" and weighed it.
The hand is slightly deep, and there is a metallic ice feeling to the touch.
He smacked his lips and said, "No wonder this rock formation is getting more and more difficult, it turns out that this is a dwarf ruin in a high-quality black iron pit." β
Nicole also excitedly said: "Sure enough, as the legend goes, the ancient dwarves will build the city in the ore pit they dug. β
"It's just that this mine is a little too short..."
Saul muttered to the side.
This height is not very friendly to their giant clan.
"Let's go, let's go over and have a look."
Raymond beckoned everyone to arrive.
He looked around him, not sure where they were.
After walking a few steps, the "Ghost Regiment" followed Raymond to a wider space, and finally saw the buildings in the ruins.
Although the vision in the darkness is not very clear, everyone in the "Ghost Regiment" is extraordinary, and it is vaguely clear that this is a dense complex of buildings. In this huge pit, there are small houses built like fish scales.
Raymond was familiar with this kind of architecture.
He knew that this was the village of the ancient dwarves.
The first level of the ruins is dominated by the "living quarters", where tens of thousands of these dwarven tribes are almost identical. The scale of the dungeon is very large, and it is estimated by the data emperor in the game that there are probably more than 10 million dwarves living in this dungeon.
"Wow... These houses are so small~ Is this the dwelling place of the ancient dwarves? β
Everyone was excited, and they unraveled a dusty ancient ruin with their own hands.
At this time, Raymond admonished: "Everyone be careful, try not to make light sources. These crypt creatures are not light all year round, they are sensitive to light sources, and they are easily attracted to light sources. β
Although he has seen and heard the domineering cover, he has explored this area and there are no monsters. But if it really causes any big movement, it will immediately cause a chain reaction like blowing up a hornet's nest. There will be countless scalp-numbing monsters in the darkness.
"Got it, Captain."
The crowd responded.
When they first landed, everyone was still a little restrained, but it was difficult to hide the excitement in their eyes.
Anna looked at the neat rows of small houses, as if she saw treasure chests, and exclaimed, "Wow... Is this a dwarven dungeon? β
The lady was obviously very interested in the treasure hunt, and she said with excitement on her face: "Let's go, let's go and collect it, in case there are really any treasures in these houses..."
"These houses are supposed to be just dwellings for ordinary dwarves... Nothing of value, right? β
Raymond kindly reminded him that he didn't want Anna to waste more time here.
If he remembered correctly, these dwarven huts were just ordinary dwellings, and they should be of little value.
Even if there is, most of them are some corroded and unformed living utensils, maybe some clay pots or something... At most, you can find a few gold and silver coins from antiquity, and it's not worth wasting too much effort.
The things that are really valuable, are in those big buildings.
"Anyway, it's all here, don't search and see, what if you miss the baby?"
Anna smiled disapprovingly at him and continued her treasure hunt with great interest.
The "eldest sister" on the ship has begun to work, and other crew members such as Colin, Lulu, Fat Cat, and Jiji, who are dominated by the eldest sister, have naturally called for corresponding calls and joined the team of treasure hunting and scraping...
Only after the ruins, everyone's interest in treasure hunting is very high, and there is a momentum to collect every room here.
"Hehe..."
Raymond laughed interferingly and shook his head.
Although he guessed that everyone might not gain anything, he didn't open his mouth to spoil everyone's interest.
He turned his face to look at his surroundings to determine where exactly their current location was, and whispered to himself, "This should not be far from the 'Bloody Monastery'..."
This time they didn't enter the dungeon through the entrance in the game, but Raymond figured that the general direction hadn't deviated too much, and the target should be around here.
In the game, the wilderness team that found the dwarf warehouse key did not find the "silver key" for a long time, so they wrote the discovery place of the "bronze key" and the "golden key" on the forum, hoping that other players could explore together, find the last "silver key", and open the warehouse.
If he remembers correctly, the "Bronze Key" is in the Bloody Monastery on the first level, while the "Golden Key" is supposed to be in the Dwarven Central Library on the second floor. As for the warehouse that has been sealed for countless years, it is on the third floor.
These are the places he intends to explore first.
......
The height of adult dwarves is generally no more than one and a half meters, and their house space is a bit cramped for ordinary people.
Lulu and Gigi are in and out without hindrance, and Anna and the others are not a problem with bowing their bodies.
However, for a giant like Thor, it is very unfriendly.
The little giant has been in the ghost group for a while, and he is also very convinced of Anna, the eldest sister. He wanted to follow his companions to search for the treasures in the house, but his sturdy body of more than three meters barely crowed into the house, and he couldn't move. Twisting his body, the hard iron ore wall that he still touched was thumping, and it was difficult to turn over.
Helplessly, he could only retreat, spread his hands towards Raymond, and muttered: "Captain, these dwarven houses are quite sturdy, but they are too short and a little smaller. β
"Haha..."
Raymond smiled, and didn't follow to join in the "treasure hunt".
"If they knew that there were tens of thousands of such dwarven tribe gatherings in this dungeon, they probably wouldn't be so enthusiastic..."
He looked at the excited expressions of everyone and muttered in his heart.
In his mind, when everyone touched the dust, the interest would naturally fade, and he would not waste time in such a place.
But the slap in the face came quickly.
Not long after Anna entered a room, she suddenly exclaimed, "Come and see, everyone, I have found a treasure!" β
it?
Hearing this, Raymond was suddenly stunned.
There was an incredible look in his eyes, and he muttered, "No... Is there really a treasure? β
The thing that can make that Miss Fortune a treasure is certainly not a few coins.
"What? Sister Anna has found the treasure..."
"Really? What did you find..."
"Wow... We seemed to be lucky, and we found the treasure when we came down to the ruins. β
β...β
Hearing this, everyone who was looking for treasures also walked out of the house one after another, their faces full of anticipation.
"Look! That's it..."
At this time, Anna also dragged out a set of heavy armor from the room she searched.
Raymond's "dark vision" is very good, and he can naturally see it clearly at a glance, this is a set of knightly heavy armor of not low quality.
The system swept and a row of attributes was revealed.
γPaladin Plate Armor (Silver)γ
Armor: 316-588
Resistance: 122-299
Block +3
Health Regen +5%
Inlaid Runestone: [B-level Yellow Solid Rune] Solid +3, Immunity +1
Explanation: Exceptional armor forged by ancient dwarven craftsmen;
"Did you really find a treasure?!"
Raymond looked at the harvest of this "wasteland", and had a feeling of disbelief, and muttered: "I actually look for it casually... Found a piece of silver-level armor? β
Silver quality armor, which is considered a mid-to-high-end armor in the market.
And that's just a treasure from an ordinary dwarven dwelling...
"There is actually equipment with rune stones inlaid with it?!"
Colin on the side is obviously more knowledgeable.
He stroked the pale yellow gem set in the armor and exclaimed, "What a delicate forging process, and the inlay technique is almost perfect... Oh my God, it's hard to imagine how those ancient civilizations without machinery could have created such exquisite armor! The ancient dwarf race really lives up to its name..."
"Runestones" are all kinds of rare gems with attributes. Because it can withstand inscription enchantments, it is used by alchemists to craft rune-bearing stones. The higher the level of the gem, the higher the level of runes it can withstand.
Generally, the equipment that can be inlaid with rune stones is a rare treasure above the finest level.
Seeing the armor in front of him, even Raymond doubted his judgment.
Could it be that the treasures of this "dark dungeon" are so many that you can pick up equipment everywhere?
Obviously, this is not the case.
......
"Everyone, look for it, there may be other treasures in these rooms..."
"Yes, look for it!"
β...β
Because of Anna's good start, everyone excitedly rushed into the dwarf houses, and carefully scraped more than 200 houses.
But as Raymond expected, there wasn't much of value other than finding some coins and gems that weren't too high-quality.
That silver armor is the only thing that can catch everyone's eye.
After a short time, including Raymond, almost everyone in the "Ghost Group" returned empty-handed.
At this time, everyone became more and more curious, why was Anna so lucky to find the treasure the first time?
"Anna, how do you know there's a treasure in that house?"
The first room Anna searched allowed her to find the treasure, which made Raymond embarrassed as a traverser?
Obviously, Miss Anna, who is a fan of money, is far more sensitive to treasure hunting than anyone else.
She smiled and explained, "Although the dwarven house is built in a similar style, this room obviously has a lintel that is a little more spacious, and I guess this house should be the residence of a dwarven ruler, or the village chief..."
"That's right..."
Raymond listened to it. In the past, when he touched these maps in the game, the contents of the house were all scraped clean. He had a preconceived idea that there would be no treasure in such a small place.
can ignore that they are "clearing the wasteland".
They were the first people to walk here in countless years!
It's a treasure trove that has never been explored.
Silver armor can be found in a tribal settlement, so aren't there more surprises waiting for those large towns?
The "Ghost Regiment" didn't delay any longer, and under the secret guidance of Raymond, they slowly explored towards those large building concentration areas.
Along the way, I occasionally came across a dwarven village and searched for a few larger houses.
With this method, they found that the harvest was not bad...
Dwarven hammers, rune gems, rare ores... Scattered also collected a whole bunch.
