Chapter 140: Goodbye to Yan Yuelan
"This ring must be kept close to you, don't take it to others easily!"
Seeing that Zhao Dingguo seemed to be very satisfied with the ring, the prophet bowed slightly and kindly reminded him.
"Thank you for your admonition!"
Zhao Dingguo knows the truth of his guilt, this ring is even valued so much by the strong prophets of the plot, you can imagine how important it is, not to mention the recovery price of 2,000 victory points issued by the super god platform. This means that its true value will have to at least double, and it is likely that there will be no place to buy it if you have money!
Such a thing should naturally be treated as a secret treasure!
After telling Zhao Dingguo, the prophet chatted casually and then signaled that he could leave. Zhao Dingguo was very interested, and immediately got up to say goodbye. Anyway, the ring is already in hand, and no matter how strong it is, it doesn't make sense to stay. But before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at the map on the wall again!
After coming out of the Prophet's Mansion, Zhao Dingguo groaned for a while, and came to the upper north area of the World Tree.
This is also a restricted place to enter, and it is the rare book library of the World Tree Base Camp.
On the lower level of the World Tree, there is one of the largest public libraries of the Guards Legion. The books there are open to everyone, but most of them are books that can be found everywhere. This rare book library is different, it is only open to samurai, nobles, and heroes, and it contains a lot of things that have not been circulated outside!
That's right, Zhao Dingguo came here because he became interested in the Karlovenci that the prophet had inadvertently mentioned.
So what kind of place is it?
With deep curiosity, he walked into the quaint and neat-looking rare book library.
There are only three floors in the entire library, the first two floors are open to everyone, and the last floor is only accessible to the high-ranking heroes of the guards. All the books are well preserved, and some of the only books handed down from ancient times are protected by a special constant magic array. Even if he just looked around, there were hundreds of thousands of classics and parchment scrolls in it, which was enough to dazzle him!
These huge volumes of classics, he just relied on himself to find them one by one, I don't know how long it will take!
Fortunately, the upper echelons of the Guards also realized this, so they specially equipped this library with several elven librarians.
The elves live much longer than humans, and the youngest of these elven administrators came in thirty years ago, which is normal for humans. But the eldest one has been working here for nearly two hundred years, and he has already memorized all the classics here. After getting Zhao Dingguo's request for help, one of the middle-aged elves wearing a dark elf cloak pointed out what he was looking for.
"Karlovingci? That was six hundred and eighty years ago, and even among the elves it was a long time, and I didn't expect a human as young as you to know! ”
The middle-aged elf sighed a few words in a bard-like tone, obviously a little curious about Zhao Dingguo.
In recent years, the power of the newly rising samurai class has swelled rapidly, and many of the top powerhouses have become heroes. But in his impression, those samurai seemed to be more keen on fame and fortune, and how to make themselves stronger, and there were really not many people who were willing to come to the library!
Faced with the gossip expression of the elf, Zhao Dingguo naturally wouldn't tell the truth, so he made an excuse at random: "I just heard about it by accident, so I wanted to come and have a look!" After finally coping with the elf's curiosity, he took out all the books recommended to him by the middle-aged spirit, and then sat down at the desk next to him and read them carefully.
At the top is a thick history book, called "Chronicle of Major Events in the Konoe Continent", which is the 87th volume!
After flipping through the catalog page for a while, Zhao Dingguo saw what he wanted: the conspiracy of the natural disaster and the fall of Karlovenci - a swan song to mourn the loss!
Because it is a summary of major events, the record in the book is very brief. However, the quality of the person who wrote this book is indeed extraordinary, although it is only a few hundred words, but it tells the whole story clearly, as if it happened right in front of you after closing the book. After savoring it, he read two more relatively detailed records, and finally got a complete understanding of what kind of place Karlovenci was.
It was the capital of a once glorious kingdom, and at the time it was also called Arthur's City!
If there is no conspiracy of the natural disaster, Arthur City is probably still a major city on the second-line battlefield, and it is also one of the important forces of the Guards Legion. However, 680 years ago, the Catastrophe's higher-ups conspired to bring down the head of the Knights of the Hammer of Judgment in Arthur City through various means. Under the control of the Scourge Hero, he returned to Arthur's City with the Plague Crate and opened it in the busiest street market...... Needless to say, the next tragedy will not be said.
In just two days, the huge city of Arthur has completely fallen and become the capital of the undead and zombies. The Guards were shocked and furious when they got the news, and sent a large army and heroes to this end. Unbeknownst to him, the heroes of the natural disaster also appeared there, and the two sides launched a shocking battle, turning Arthur's city upside down. In the end, in desperation, the guards could only reluctantly make the decision to completely exile the former royal city!
Ten days after that day, Karlovenci disappeared from this world, sealed into the underground lake with incredible power by the top powerhouses of the Guards Legion!
It was only after that that the city of Karlovenci was given the name of the Lost City!
Half an hour later, Zhao Dingguo carefully read the relevant records.
He pushed the book away, leaned back, closed his eyes and pondered.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing special about the Lost City. It's nothing more than being manipulated by a natural disaster, and then the whole city is abandoned. Although this kind of thing can shock the entire continent, it has happened seven or eight times over the past thousand years, and basically once every hundred years, which is not too surprising. From the last book that recorded this matter, he noticed that in the big war at that time, the two sides called a total of nearly eighty heroes to participate!
That's not normal!
You know, every hero is a treasure of the legion, and they can take charge of themselves and destroy an army by themselves!
According to the book, even in the largest all-out war in the past three hundred years, the two major armies had only more than 140 heroes on the middle line. But in the battle for a city, and it is the kind that has fallen and been abolished, it has dispatched a high-end force equivalent to half of the Armageddon!
How is this possible?
The only explanation is that there is something incomparably important in that city, which is worth fighting for by the two armies at any cost. Not long after the catastrophe destroyed Karlovenci, he sent a hero to it, which undoubtedly proves this!
If you think about it in this way, what the prophet found six or seven hundred years later and tried to go in and find something would be explained!
As a sealed realm of the undead, after so many years of development and evolution, the undead inside must be very powerful. The prophet went in alone, and he faced the undead of the entire royal city, and he was not the kind of hero in the late stage, so it was normal that he couldn't beat it. In this way, he desperately needs a piece of equipment that can help him shield him from the Dead Spirit!
With the Ancient Kingdom Divine Wood Ring, he can infiltrate the Lost City and find the treasures that were lost inside!
Although some details are still unclear, Zhao Dingguo knows that it is because of the lack of information, and in fact he can almost prove this inference. Moreover, as can be seen from the map in the book, the location of the Lost City of Karlovenci is three or four hundred miles west of Sunny Snow City, which is the same place that is highlighted in the map that the Prophet hung up!
Perhaps, you can find a way to go in and walk around?
After this thought flashed through his mind, Zhao Dingguo couldn't help but feel a little moved. But on second thought, he gave up again.
Even the Prophet had to rely on the Ancient Kingdom Divine Wood Ring to avoid those undead, he was a Dawn-level supergod user, his growth was just beginning, and rushing to that kind of threatening place was to send him to death. It wasn't like going on an expedition to the Southern Wilderness, when he had griffons to ride. There was air superiority, and the danger was offset to the maximum. This time, the target is the undead city that has been sealed in the underground lake, and the danger has undoubtedly increased exponentially!
After making a somewhat abrupt decision, Zhao Dingguo shook his head and sent a few books back to the shelves.
What a lost city, too far away from him. If you have time to think about that, you might as well think about how to get to the battle zone of the two legions, and then go to the Scourge legion through there. That way, he'll be able to find the Blackbird, trigger the quest on the badge, and learn his first skill!
The answer to this question may not be found until the frontline cities of the two major armies.
Thinking of this, he planned to return to Sunny Snow City by teleportation. It was his initial teleportation point, and his friendship was direct and friendly, plus it was a major city on the front line, so it should be convenient to inquire about such news.
Zhao Dingguo has always been a doer, and after making a decision, he quickly stepped on the teleportation array to Qingxue City. However, before he could take a few steps out of the teleportation array, a somewhat familiar voice stopped him not far away.
"Zhao... Dingguo? ”
The female voice sounded full of wonder and uncertainty.
Zhao Dingguo followed the voice and looked diagonally forward, and couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at him intently, it was actually the same Miss Lan who had invited him to the doubling gambling mission before. Although she was wearing a white trench coat at that time, which was completely different from the current aboriginal dress, her pretty face and temperament were exactly the same, and she quickly helped Zhao Dingguo confirm her identity!
"It's really you!"
Seeing Zhao Dingguo's reaction, Yan Yuelan finally confirmed that she didn't recognize the wrong person, and couldn't help but be surprised.
Zhao Dingguo was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that a person he had only met in the real world not long ago would meet again on the main plane so soon, it was really a coincidence.
The two shook hands lightly, which was a celebration of the reunion.
"I really didn't expect that a rookie user who has just entered the dawning level should not have more than 1,000 god points, and he can actually get a badge! If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I'm afraid few people would have believed it! Yan Yuelan's eyes fluttered, and she secretly raised her evaluation of Zhao Dingguo a few points in her heart.
