Leaving White and Guderian in Barton's office for the time being, Moriarty followed the mid-level mage to the door of a locked storeroom on the third floor of the headquarters. Through a simple magic circle enchantment, Barton unlocked the magic lock on the door, and then walked in with Moriarty.

In the storeroom, the light is a little dimmer than the outside, but it can still be seen that this is a large room. Rows of huge iron cabinets are arranged in vertical rows of varying sizes. It was like a group of soldiers waiting to be reviewed, standing silently. Because of the storage of the automatic cleaning magic array, there is no dust or spiders and mice everywhere in the room, and it looks clean and dry.

Glancing through the row of cards embedded in the wall at the doorway, Barton strode deeper into the storeroom, stopping at last in front of a large iron cabinet. Then he doubled the number on one side of the cabinet, and the middle-level mage reached out and slowly pulled out the entire iron cabinet.

"That's it." Barton gestured to the open cabinet and stepped back a bit, leaving room for Moriarty.

"Thank you." Moriarty nodded, took a step forward, and took a closer look.

Sure enough, as introduced in the catalog, Moriarty's eyes were a full-fledged magical golem, the gargoyle.

Speaking of gargoyles, before the Ice Apocalypse, it was the magic golem that Mage Bracada was most familiar with and had the highest possession rate. It is half demonic and half beast, usually half human in height, with bat's wings as its wings, sheep's horns as its top, and a demon's face and sharp claws, as if it had been put together with all kinds of terrifying existences. Because gargoyles are mostly made of granite, and are powered by special formations and magic crystals inside the golems, they have both flexibility and sturdiness, and can be said to be one of the mage's favorite combat companions.

But unfortunately, in the terrifying energy storm that swept across the entire plane detonated by the Ice Sword and the Doom Blade, almost all kinds of magic golems, including gargoyles, were completely destroyed. After nearly two hundred years of regression in the magic civilization, the alchemy drawings of the magic puppets have basically disappeared, so that the new generation of alchemists who have grown up since then have worked hard to revive them, but in the end they can only restore the low-quality "imitation gargoyle" puppets. And this kind of shoddy imitation is not only quite expensive in terms of cost, but the most important thing is that the combat effectiveness is far from the original gargoyles in historical records. So much so that in today's Bracada, there are hardly a few mages willing to use copycat puppets.

But the gargoyles in front of Moriarty at the moment are clearly not new in modern times. Even by instinct alone, he could already conclude that this black-clad magic puppet must have survived the ice apocalypse and was lucky enough to preserve it to this day.

Stretching out his right hand and gently stroking the gargoyle's surface, a flash of surprise flashed in Moriarty's eyes.

"It's not made of rock!?"

Moriarty slowly crouched down and quickly rubbed his fingernails against the surface of the magic golem, but the tentacles were unusually smooth and extremely hard, without the roughness and friction of granite.

"Master Barton, can you tell us about the origin of this puppet?" Moriarty asked, standing up and looking at the mid-level mage.

"This... I don't know very well. I only know that when the guild headquarters was relocated to Xingchen Street two hundred years ago, it was already in the manifest of transportation. But all the time, the mages in the guild have not been able to activate it, and even Harry Alchemist, who died decades ago, has been unable to crack the gargoyle's secrets. Therefore, in the past, the guild sealed it in the zài treasury. Barton pondered for a moment and replied, "So, Master Moriarty, how do you feel after seeing it?" ”…,

"I also think this gargoyle is very strange, like a huge puzzle, very interesting." Moriarty pondered his sentence for a moment and said, "If I can, I'd like to buy it for further research." ”

"Yes." The mid-level mage nodded, and Moriarty's thoughts were in line with the attitude of a young alchemist: "There is no problem with this. ”

With Barton's permission, Moriarty immediately put the gargoyle golem into his space pocket, and then left the storeroom with the mid-level mage. Back in the office, Barton took out two more spell learning scrolls and handed them to the other party. After confirming that everything was correct, Moriarty paid the mid-level mage a total of nearly 30,000 Erathia gold coins in cash. After the deal was over, the two carefully discussed the details of the guild's cooperation with Earth Studio, and Moriarty said goodbye to the mid-level mage with a smile, and left the Moon River Guild with two followers. Barton, on the other hand, personally escorted the other party out of the headquarters gate, and then hurried back to the office alone, planning to report the matter to the guild leader as much as possible.

"A mage is a money-burning job. The two small scrolls cost a small 30,000 gold coins. Your father's severance pay is less than half at once. Sitting in the carriage, the dwarf who had been holding back for a long time immediately shouted, looking distressed.

"It's a little bit more expensive. Then for today's dinner, I only eat meat and don't drink alcohol. Moriarty sat still, nodded, and said to the dwarf in a serious manner.

Hearing that there was no wine to drink at night, Guderian immediately withered, and was pitifully afraid to ramble.

After resting for the night in Standwell and not stopping any longer, the three of them turned around and headed south. It only took more than twenty days for Moriarty's carriage to enter Fort Ford again. It's just that more than two months have passed, and Pugris is still nowhere to be seen in Roland's Bar, and even Terech has suddenly disappeared. White inquired about the other waiters, but the replies were vague, as if no one knew why the green-eyed girl was not there or where she had gone. In desperation, in addition to secretly worrying, White couldn't think about it.

It took two days for Moriarty to find a caravan inside the fortress that was also planning to go to Bracada Aquamarine in the near future. After some negotiation and payment, Moriarty's carriage joined the caravan. Even in order to minimize the target, White was asked to abandon the horse and ride through the hurricane wasteland with Moriarty and Guderian in a carriage. The Silverbearded Dwarf seemed pleased with this, for there was one more person to listen to along the way.

However, in contrast to Guderian, who was always in high spirits, and White, who was innocently forced to act as an audience, after the carriage left Fort Ford with the caravan and entered the moor, Moriarty was immersed in a strange state of meditation. Often all day long sitting motionless in a carriage, without even opening their eyes or saying a word. White was initially very aware of this situation, but after not seeing anything unusual for the past few days, he was relieved. It's just that every time the silverbearded dwarf talks to himself, White will dumbfounded and suppresses his voice so as not to disturb the mage who is meditating on the sidelines.

But in fact, whether Guderian was noisy or quiet, it didn't have any effect on Moriarty. Because the mage's mind has long been focused on the crystal book in the soul.

Magic Item: Dark Crystal Gargoyle (Magic Golem

Maker: Peak. Jim;

Grade: Fine;

Quality: Complete (Energy depleted.)

Content (Function): Unlike ordinary rock gargoyles, the great geoalchemist Jem uses hard ink crystals to create his magic golems, and uses special magic loops to power them. This not only makes his work more sturdy and sturdy, but also has a flight stability that surpasses that of all other gargoyles of the same era, and is even strong enough to fly into the windy sky to fight dragons. …,

Notes: This is an epochal work of alchemy, and while still not as good as the treasures, it is a minor milestone in the history of magical golems. It's just that if you want to make such a magic puppet, the key is not in the alchemy array. You tell me?

This is the true face of the strange gargoyle puppet that was bought from the Moon River Guild, and its maker, Peak. Jem is also a very famous alchemist hero of the puppet realm in Bracada before the Ice Apocalypse. When Moriarty put the gargoyle in the crystal book on the night he harvested it and received the above message, the whole person was stunned. Coupled with the previous "Serena's Secret Eye", in just one month, Moriarty actually obtained two relics inherited from hero-level powerhouses five hundred years ago in a row, and he almost wondered if this was the Moon River Guild manipulating behind the scenes, after all, these two things have a close or sparse relationship with this mage guild. However, after analyzing it for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable reason to explain the connection. In the end, Moriarty can only attribute this qiē to a fateful arrangement, or rather a pure coincidence.

Different from the overall appearance in the treasury of the Mage Guild, in the crystal book at this time, most of the sunglasses gargoyles have been broken down into pieces of the most basic puppet construction, floating quietly. Only the gargoyle's head is still stubbornly intact. It's just that a colorful brilliance tightly envelops the puppet's head, and between the continuous flickering of light and darkness, a trace of special magic fluctuations continue to seep out of the gargoyle's mind, and even the surface of the head that was originally tightly seamled slowly reveals subtle gaps, and continues to deepen and expand. It was as if the multicolored brilliance was the gentlest butcher, dismembering the last piece of the body with an invisible blade.

And this is another legendary feature that the Crystal Book has opened after continuously obtaining new spell records: item decomposition
