Archmage Kirem tasked Morch and the others with a trial mission to retrieve an elven tome from the ruins of Edharth, which recorded the knowledge of ancient spells.

While Mochi expressed his acceptance to Keshirem, a system prompt also appeared in Mochi's field of vision-

[Mission Name: Deep into Edalas]

Mission Statement: Can You Imagine It? The ruins of the seashore were once the most magnificent city of the elves. Although it has been abandoned for a long time since the Great Division, in the depths of that ruin, there are still countless treasures of the upper elves. What I'm asking you to find today is a tome of ancient magical knowledge. It's hidden in the depths of the Temple of Simmaro by those damned nagas, find it and bring it back to me, and I'll give you the Apprentice Hat, understand?

……

Before leaving the next day, Keshirem also handed a white stone to Mochi: "First of all, I didn't make this thing, it came from another archmage, you may have heard her name, Gianna Prodmoor. I have other ways to solve the problem of teleportation myself, and I don't need this kind of gadget, but I think maybe you will need this thing to get back here after you get the tome. ”

Others were a little unfamiliar with the stone, but Mochi was really familiar with it.

The blue swirling runes inscribed on the stone block represent the meaning of "home".

It's a "Hearthstone." ”

Legend has it that there was an old tradition in medieval Europe that people who traveled far away from home would take a stone from the fireplace in their home. When people think of their hometown, they look at the Hearthstone around them to relieve homesickness.

In Azeroth, Hearthstone is a magic item that can be used to return to the town. Touching this stone, Mo Qi suddenly felt that he was one step closer to the familiar world in his heart.

"Hold on to this stone when you need to get back here, concentrate on the scene in this room, and then you can get back here." Seeing that Mochi couldn't put down Hearthstone, Archmage Kirem added, "As long as you can retrieve that book, this Hearthstone will be given to you." ”

Archmage Keshirem has invested enough, and Mo Qi will definitely complete this task, but the generosity of the mage also makes him a little curious - what is recorded in that book that is worthy of him to deceive Mo Qi and others to complete the task so generously, and what kind of "prohibition" there makes this archmage have to let others complete this matter......

The fog surrounding Archmage Keshirem has grown, but all the answers can only be solved after he gets the tome.

The ruins of Edalas are located east of the coastline of Aishara, and the temple of Simmaro, where Mochi is going to explore today, is located in the middle of the ruins of Edalas.

It was once considered a shrine by the Sea Giants, but with the war, enslavement, and merging between the Sea Giants and the Naga, the Temple of Simmaro gradually became the property of both races. Around the temple, perennial roams the Naga army and the giant sea giants.

The Temple of Simalo retains the traditional upper elf architectural style, which is reminiscent of ancient Greek architecture on Earth, and the stone pillars are similar to the Doric columns. 10,000 years ago, the ritual of a priestess with a moon tattoo on her body should have been a beautiful scene, but unfortunately time has passed, and now the hall here only has the fishy smell of the naga.

The temple was heavily guarded, and it was not easy for Mo Qi and his party to enter the main hall smoothly.

After much consideration, it was decided to let Akalin infiltrate the main hall alone, and Akalin gladly accepted.

But Moqi was a little hesitant this time.

Still, Mochi carefully surveyed the terrain, chose a more secluded path, and made a special plan to lure the defenders out of the main hall.

All were puzzled by Mochi's over-cautiousness.

"Mochi? Don't you believe in Akarin's stealth level? Linda said impatiently.

"Mr. Moch, it's good to be careful. But you also have to know that there is often a thin line between caution and timidity. Anvena said with a smile.

"Sincerity is glass, prudence is diamond." Mochi said with a smile.

Avena and Linda looked at each other, and both thought that Moqi was a little verbose. As companions, they sometimes couldn't see Akalin in close proximity, and how could those Naga find it.

But Mochi knew that there was nothing wrong with being fully prepared to face the battle.

A person who has lost a friend knows how precious friendship is. When Mo Qi was an undergraduate, she lost a friend, who was an outgoing and cheerful girl who was kind to everyone, and it was precisely because of this kind of indiscriminate kindness to others that her inner energy was overdrawn, and she finally said goodbye to this world in a decisive way.

This made Mo Qi, who was living in a mess at the time, suddenly wake up. For the first time, he realized that nothing should be excessive, especially loving someone must not be too hard, too hard, not only will you lose the other person, but also lose yourself.

Is it overexertion that Mochi cares about the people around him so much?

Mochi himself doesn't know.

Little people like him have learned how to deal with loss since childhood, and God will never spoil little people like Moqi, and the more things he loves, the easier it is to lose. Mochi had always been careful not to get too emotionally attached to someone or something, but this time, he was caught in it.

Knowing that everyone in the world is dissolved, he still hopes that the current trip will last forever. Mochi knew that the world would not always have good intentions, so he had to be ready to fight the world before those dark years came.

Back to the task at hand. Not far from the temple was a minefield, and the existence of this minefield gave Mochi a chance. The Rusty Water Goblins planted the mines to deal with the Naga forces so that they could dig up the treasures in the ruins. It's a pity that there are too many naga around the temple, and the large-scale excavation of the Rusty Water Goblins has to be abandoned.

Detonating a minefield to attract the attention of the Naga forces, Akalin then infiltrated the temple under the cover of stealth and the western wall. We'll try to create as much confusion as possible to lure them away. ”

Anvina tells Linda and Akalin about Mochi's plan, and they don't object.

Everything is about to go according to plan.

Before leaving, Akalin patted Mochi on the shoulder and said, "Mochi, relax!" It's just a bunch of naga, didn't you break into Silvermoon City? ”

Mochi nodded. Being slapped like this by Akalin, the tense body relaxed a lot.

Maybe one day, these little people will be able to cover the mountains and rivers of Azeroth.
