Chapter 52: The Ruins (Ask for a Recommendation Ticket, Ask for a Monthly Pass)

Barr?? The fog in the capital of the Tulasi Empire is much thicker than when you first entered, and all detection magic is greatly reduced or completely ineffective in the face of this fog.

Affected by the chaotic energy emanating from the Armageddon between the two empires, it is filled with all kinds of terrifying monsters and strange and twisted plants.

But because of the brilliance of the past, there are also treasures buried here that no one can ever imagine.

Whether it is the various extremely rare, epic, and legendary treasures left behind by the original war, or the magic herbs and mines formed by the remnants of the magic power gathered, they are all extremely precious treasures.

There is also the wealth left of the entire empire, which is really indescribable with a mountain of gold.

In the poetry of the troubadours, this fog is not only a forbidden area for living creatures, but also the greatest treasure house in the eyes of all.

It's just that those who have the ability to enter and exit safely are almost heroes of the kingdom, and rarely come to do such expeditions.

Even if some high-level expeditions from some countries were lucky enough to find a vein or ruin at the edge of the mist, they would not be able to find the person who mined it.

As for going deep into the fog, it is a feat that has not been achieved for thousands of years, even by legends.

Do you know that the castle where Blue met the vampire was only in Baal?? In the satellite towns of the capital of the Tulasi Empire, this area is still a peripheral area, and it stands to reason that the danger should be small.

But even so, I still encountered a quasi-legendary-level vampire, and you can imagine how many terrifying creatures would exist if you entered the core war zone of the year.

The dragon lich or bone dragon that Blue guessed must have existed, and in addition to that, there may be remnants of the demons of the past.

With Barzaha leading the way, Blue and his party finally didn't fly around like headless flies.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since the carriage was walking on the road.

In these three days, the death horses have not rested for a moment, and they are all on the way.

Even the occasional sight of some precious alchemy herbs or magic crystal bonanzas on the roadside did not stop to collect.

Blue felt that he had wasted too much time, and he didn't have time to delay any longer, and since the Death Horse didn't need to rest, then simply don't rest.

The deeper you go into the depths of the fog, the more it feels like a gray-white cascading dark cloud, and the carriage walks on it as if it were a cloud shuttle in the sky.

If it weren't for the sound of stepping on the ground, Blue would have wondered if he had even walked to the air plane.

The light faintly filtered through the gaps in the fog above, staining everything around it black and white, and near the ground, it was almost pitch black because there was no light.

Over the course of three days, the carriage saw more and more precious materials, and the concentration of magic crystals became more and more pure.

This shows that Barzaha did not take them around in circles, but really went to Bal. The dragon ruins next to the capital of the Tulasi Empire rushed to it.

Inside the carriage, Macaria sighed, holding a beautiful quill and trying to map the area on parchment.

But unfortunately, in the fog, it is impossible to distinguish between east, east, north, west, left and right, let alone want to draw a map.

Macaria had no choice but to put down the map and pick up her journal and record what she had seen and heard.

After writing down today's date in her journal, Macaria began to write down the new plant she had just seen, and how many changes she had encountered before.

In addition, there are monsters and animals encountered, a giant centipede about two meters long, a fist-sized moth, such as a poisonous snake with thick arms, and even a half-rotten undead bear and a deer covered in tumors.

These creatures, who don't know if they're creatures or monsters, are afraid of the breath of vampires, so they all flee as soon as they find the carriage.

According to her own estimates, the approximate length of the walk was also recorded.

By the time she finished, nearly two hours had passed.

She closed her notebook, then looked at Blue who was lying on the blanket in the carriage with her hands under her head, and smiled slightly.

Hopefully, this journal will come in handy in the future when you open up this fog, although it is just a fantasy for now, but be prepared to record it and make this adventure worthwhile.

However, the time of peace is also broken today.

On the road, a number of undead creatures and shadow creatures with no sense of fear began to proliferate, and they would often chase after the carriage as soon as they found it, vowing to tear the living inside to shreds.

Balzaha didn't bother to pay attention to these low-level monsters, if the other party's speed was too fast for the carriage to shake off, he would also let the vampire derivatives go down to fight.

There is no suspense in the battle, although the vampire derivative is nothing in the eyes of high-level adventurers, but its strength is also a monster of medium strength, it is a level that can destroy a small town when it goes to a town, and it has an immortal physique, and it has an absolute advantage against monsters of the same level.

On the fifth day, when the carriage reached a suspension bridge that had fallen into disrepair, Barzaha and Blue had to get out of the carriage and resume walking.

Thankfully, according to Barzaha, the drawbridge leads to one of the dragon ruins built for Bahamut, and it's not too far, only half an hour's journey to get there.

At that time besieged Barr?? The dragons in the capital of the Tulasi Empire built these large buildings, either huge buildings or long holes, in order to provide a stable resting ground and supply point for the dragonborn and the army.

And because of the different dragon gods worshipped, the type of real dragon used in the construction project, the architectural style of this supply point is also different.

For example, the blue dragon likes to build the supply point into a tunnel, the green dragon likes to build the supply point into a maze, and the silver dragon likes to build it on a high place......

After more than half an hour, a dazzling light suddenly appeared at the end of the road in front of Blue and the others, which was different from the starlight before Oriana, which made people feel very dazzling.

Balzaha's face changed, he stopped, then looked at Macaria helplessly and said, "If you go in again, you will enter the range of the ruins of Bahamut." That place is protected by the divine power of Bahamut, and it seems that the evil me is not welcome to enter, and I am still here waiting for your return. ”

Both vampires and most of the undead monsters on the main material plane are quite afraid of the scorching sun.

Some people say that this is because Pero, the sun god with high divine powers, is the creator of many good things in the world, a supporter of the continuation of good things, and the judge of all evil.

As the sun god, who rises every day in all the main material planes and gives people light, he is the object of the most worship of mortals, and his divine power is also one of the most powerful gods.

And he also uses his anger to deter darkness and evil, and to inspire and help good creatures.

Even if you are as strong as a vampire, you have to walk like a street rat in the sun.

Once a beautiful elf on the surface, the evil drow elf who later came to live in the dark realm because of the Fall, under the sun, the skin seems to be burning as pain, and the whole body must be wrapped in clothes.

Of course, there are also people who dismiss this theory, and they explain this phenomenon with more scientific terms, such as vampires lose some kind of vitamin because of transformation, and Drow elves live underground for a long time so they have skin diseases and dare not bask in the sun.

The debate between the researchers of the fantasy school and the researchers of the science school has been going on for hundreds of years, but because there is no way to experiment with sun-averse creatures such as vampires and drow elves, neither side has been able to convince anyone, so they have to fight there with their mouths.

Whether you prefer to be more fantastical or more scientific is a choice for people.

Blue nodded, it was actually a good thing that Balzaha had no way to enter the ruins.

After all, if there is a real battle in the ruins, it is really hard to say whether that guy will shoot in the back.

Macaria bowed her head politely and thanked her, "Thank you very much for leading the way, Your Excellency the Viscount. ”

Balzaha looked at Macaria with a tangled expression on his face, he sighed and asked Blue, "Mr. Galax, if you can, let Miss Macaria stay here, and I will protect her here?" After all, her strength is too low, and the danger of entering the ruins is too high. ”

Blue was stunned for a moment, although he felt unhappy after listening to it, and the first thing that came to mind was that this guy's fox tail was finally revealed.

But if you think about it carefully, you have to admit that what Barzaha said has a point.

As a level 4 thief, if Macaria hadn't held a few thighs along the way, she would have been smashed flat by the hill giant.

Now to enter the "high-level monster area", it is really equivalent to a level 60 copy mixed in with a level 20 little Meng Xin wearing a whiteboard suit, maybe a small mechanism of entertainment nature can kill her.

But leave your own woman here and left a male vampire to look after it?

How can this be meowed, he is not a green dragon, he is born with a green head!

Blue just wanted to shake her head and refuse, but Macaria took the first step, she walked to Blue's side, then took his hand and said, "No, Your Excellency the Viscount, I believe that my man is capable of protecting me." ”

Blue glanced at her, then walked in the direction of the glare glow.

The others immediately followed, and Lux and Oriana were on guard to prevent Barzaha from suddenly attacking.

Barzaha looked at them, touched his chin, and muttered in a low voice, "This is not a good choice. ”

But he didn't stop them, just watched their figures gradually melt into the light.

After crossing the line between the glare and the fog, the blinding glare suddenly dissipated.

Before the eyes of Blue and Macaria, the fog that plagued the area had disappeared, and what appeared in front of them was a magnificent cluster of ruins.

Surrounded in the middle is a huge military fortress, in front of which are ten statues of dragons ranging from 30 to 50 meters high, which are golden, silver, bronze, bronze and brass.

These statues are all exactly the same height ratio as the real primordial dragon, and they look lifelike.

They faced each other in pairs, looking at each other on the avenue in front of the gate, and their postures were also different.

The entire ruins looked endless, and the fortress alone looked like it could hold ten thousand people.

One can imagine how hot it was in the final stages of the war to see countless warriors, dragonborns, and dragons coming and going, training, and supplying here.

It's just that now it's the same here as it is outside, and it's the same as Barr?? The Tulasi Empire, like that, is dead.

There are no warriors who live and die together, no dragonborns and mercenaries who shuttle through them, no civilians who help with supplies and assistance, just the light of Bahamut that has sheltered this realm for thousands of years.

Oriana looked around and found no footprints of outsiders, and she said with a little surprise: "I didn't expect that we were the only ones who stepped into this place for a few months. ”

Macaria shook her head: "Be careful, maybe they deliberately hid their whereabouts." ”

However, Blue echoed Oriana's words: "That's unlikely, after all, such a ruin was ...... In fact, it is a siege fortress, but there are several of them, and it is difficult to find one of them, let alone the remains that happen to be the artifact placed in Bahamut, and it is normal that they don't find it all at once. ”

Makaria asked a little hesitantly, "Is this our destination?" ”

"Not necessarily, I just know that this is the remains of Lord Bahamut's metal dragon camp, and there are no other hints, and according to what Barzaha said before, excluding the fortresses belonging to Lord Tiamat, there are three fortresses left for Lord Bahamut."

Oriana frowned: "That means the chance of finding the right one is one in three?" ”

Blue shrugged his shoulders: "The odds are already high. ”

"However, if you have to search this complex carefully, it will take at least a few days, right?"

Blue glanced at Macaria in disgust and sneered, "A few days? How could it be, according to the previous dragon practice, it would take at least ten days just to find out the basement of that fortress. ”

Macaria said angrily: "Thank you very much for your correction, my heart suddenly became heavier!" ”

Orianna looked at the strange place in front of her with great interest, she was very happy to be trapped in the fog for so long, and suddenly saw the light again.

She took two steps forward, then turned around and waved her hands and shouted, "Okay, okay, you guys don't have to be sluggish, it's better to act, just find it faster." ”

Blue and Macaria looked at the excited Oriana in amazement, and the impatience in their hearts couldn't help but be swept away.

"She's right, let's go, maybe you'll find a lot of good things......"

"What else is there here besides weapons and armor?"

The group spoke, cautiously walking towards the fortress.
