Chapter 559: The Opening of Ulduar (14)

"Shall we ......" Artoria looked at the elegy for a moment, then looked at Asher with an inquiring gaze, and he shook the blade of his sword and held it to the ground.

"Vivien, you sneak up." Asher said in a deep voice.

Vivien nodded, bowed slightly, and silently moved forward along the edge of darkness, lurking on the outskirts of the battlefield, carefully circling the two thieves.

"Don't kill the elegy just yet." Asher reminded.

With Vivian's strength, even if it is a head-on enemy, the probability of defeating Elegy is more than eighty percent, because the Elegy Celestial Hand Ring is still an epic incomplete product, after all, Vivian already has mythical equipment and a judgment, this kind of sneak attack, Elegy basically has no ability to resist.

Ashur wanted to leave the elegy first, but the thief knew a lot more than Ashur, and he wanted to see if he could use him again.

Elegy's powerful Void Skill obviously didn't last long, and soon, he began to quickly pull away and fly away, came into the distance, dropped a smoke and fog bomb, and entered a state of vanishing.

The syndicate thief stood up from the rubble and looked around, but there was no expression on his masked face, and then he also entered a stealth state, which made the three of Asher stunned.

They looked at the momentum of the elegy, and thought that he would attack to the end, but who would have thought that now that both of them had entered a stealth state, the situation in the field immediately became delicate.

"Let's step back." Asher glanced at Artoria and began to move cautiously back.

The front has become a battlefield between thieves, which has always been the most intriguing and thrilling battle, and in this case, it is not appropriate for Asher and the others to continue to stay here, these thieves will expand the battlefield indefinitely, to search for targets and evade the enemy's search, in order to be able to strike first.

Vivien also drew her twin swords and swam around the field.

Ashur and Artoria retreated all the way, guarding their surroundings while watching Vivien's movements in the distance, they retreated all the way to the back of the three stone pillars, and Ashur touched the stone pillars and continued to retreat.

At this moment, his feet suddenly emptied, and Ashur's heart suddenly felt cold-

Flash!

At the moment of crisis, Asher's ultra-fast reaction speed worked, and before his body fell, he directly flashed back to the ground.

Ashur was suspended two feet above the ground, lowered his head and looked at his feet, there was a huge pit behind the pillar, pitch black, it seemed to be bottomless, Ashur looked at it, and suddenly looked around in surprise.

He discovers that Artoria is missing.

"What's going on, how can there be a hole in the ground here, I fell in." Artoria's voice of surprise was heard from the communication crystal.

"You wait for me there, I'll go down right away." Ashur hurriedly fell back to the ground, blessed himself with a state spell, and prepared to go down and pull Artoria up, by the way, to make sure that there would be no danger inside.

"I'm fine, there's no monster here, but there's a gate."

Artoria didn't encounter monsters or traps, he was standing outside a large gate, the small space was so dark that Artoria could barely make out a gate, and he walked to the gate and observed the pattern on it.

Ashur also jumped in at this time, the tunnel was not very deep, he fell into the darkness, and when he looked up, he saw Artoria standing in front of the metal gate, he stretched out his hand, ready to touch the gate.

At the same time, Asher also saw the pattern on the metal gate clearly, he was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened suddenly-

"Holy, wait, don't touch it!

Artoria's plate-gloved palm froze in mid-air, then retracted with lightning speed, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, away from the gate, and asked with a sigh of relief, "What's wrong?" ”

It was really Ashur who shouted so loudly that he was startled, and he thought that there was some kind of death mechanism in front of him, so he quickly retracted his movements.

Asher hurried a few steps to the front of the gate, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a trap warning." Asher pointed to the lines on the metal gate and said.

In the original complete pattern decoration, there is a distorted symbol like a text, and upon closer inspection, it can be found that this symbol is not one with the other patterns, but was later inscribed by someone.

"This is the meaning of 'danger' in the ancient lingua franca, which means that there may be danger behind this door, and we don't know who left it, so we have to be careful." Asher said solemnly.

The ancient lingua franca was a language that Asher was well in, so he had just seen the gate with the word danger on it, so he could stop Artoria.

The only explanation is that some people came here and were pitted by something behind the gate, and only after they escaped did they write down the danger and warn others.

"Shall we open this door?" Artoria smiled wryly.

"Since we have discovered this place, there is no reason not to go in, but we have to make a little preparation, take the weapon well, and I will open it." Ashur took his staff and began to cast a spell.

He refreshed all of his shield spells, then blessed Artoria with a protective fear enchantment, then walked to the gate and pointed his staff at the lock—

Lockpicking!

"Huh?" Asher was stunned, "Can't open it?" ”

Usually this type of door is equipped with a trap at the back. It will not be set to be particularly difficult to open, especially in a treasure place, there are many fake secret rooms that hide people's ears, and Yashu's lockpicking technique is also a seven-level level, so it stands to reason that it should not be impossible to open.

"Haha, why don't you wait for Vivien to come? After all, there is a specialization in the art industry. Artoria patted Asher and laughed. Lockpicking isn't your forte after all. ”

"I'll try another spell." Asher said depressedly.

……

While Asher and the others continued to explore and go deeper into the pit, the Ulduar of the Storm Cliff was completely full, and countless adventurers rushed to the Titan ruins, causing the area outside Ulduar's gate to be overcrowded. The crowd bustled into the far distance.

In this extremely lively area, the noise of adventurers was so deafening that it was almost impossible to hear the shouts of the approach, and many mage adventurers could not bear to open the sound isolation barrier.

"Roar!"

Above the blue sky, a deafening roar suddenly erupted, and the terrible roar that resounded through the sky quickly swept the entire world below, and countless adventurers immediately raised their heads in shock and looked into the sky.

As they raised their heads, rolling dark clouds swept in from the distance. The originally clear sky was quickly obscured, and the temperature dropped rapidly, and many adventurers already felt the cold in an instant.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a faint dark blue light suddenly emerged from the clouds. It swept across the sky at great speed, and then disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye, but the huge force instantly set off a sonic boom visible to the naked eye in the air, and the deafening sound was like thunder. Burst one after another.

"Dragon! It's a frost dragon! ”

Many adventurers suddenly became excited, and they all looked at the sky, just now. Some people have already seen that the blue light and shadow that flashed by are a dragon tail, they have seen a lot of dragons, and there are not a few mythical ones, at this time there is no fear at all, only curiosity to see the excitement.

The dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the dragon's head and tail poked out from time to time, and the adventurers saw its face clearly, it was a dark blue frost dragon, and the pale dragon's pupils had a shocking blood streak, it was struggling violently, as if there was something on its back.

Suddenly, for a moment, the blue dragon, which was still rolling violently in the clouds, suddenly lost its movement, and its entire huge body quickly broke away from the clouds, falling towards the bottom at a high speed, and then smashed heavily on a snow peak, causing a violent avalanche, and the dragon was rolled down the mountain by the snow entrainment.

A large number of adventurers hurriedly ran away to avoid the devastating avalanche, and after a while, until the avalanche stopped, they hurriedly rushed to the spot where the dragon fell.

Just kidding, a creature like a dragon, it's full of treasures, even if it's an epic dragon, it can often produce mythical materials, this dragon didn't know why it died, and it actually fell here, giving materials to adventurers for nothing, how could they not be excited.

Many large groups of adventurers arrived first, and when they dug through the snow and saw the body of the dragon buried beneath the snowy peak, they couldn't help but be stunned.

This dragon actually only has Senbai's huge skeleton left, and there is no trace of flesh and blood left in the whole body, and there are obvious cutting marks on the broken bones at the neck, and the dragon's head has been cut off entirely.

"Fuck, which one killed a thousand knives in this, the action is so fast, it only takes a few minutes to collect all the materials on a dragon's body, come out, I want to fight you alone!"

"Empty rejoicing, it turns out that there is nothing, alas."

A group of adventurers rushed in with great excitement, but they returned disappointed, and as they left, some of them looked indignantly at the dragon's skeleton, as if they were considering whether they could take it with them.

It's a pity that the dragon bone should be considered the most useless of the materials on the dragon's body, not that it is not precious, but this kind of thing is not as widely used as dragon scales and dragon blood, and the skill required to process it is too high, and it is extremely difficult to convert it into actual equipment or props.

This thing may become a hot material in the next few years, but now it is really unpopular, and it is difficult to transport such a large volume, so these adventurers have to put it here, and after a while, the head of a large guild arrives and orders his members to take this keel away.

For adventurers near Ulduar. It was just a small episode, and they quickly re-invested in the dungeon craze.

And at the same time, the storm cliffs frost lair.

Covered in crystal clear ice and heavy snow, this dragon's lair was the lair of an epic frost dragon, built on top of a mountain like all dragons' lair, and today, the dragon inside seems to have disappeared, and a warrior adventurer in rock white armor quietly walked in from the outside.

Come here. Nat, of course.

Nat looked around at the massive dragon's lair, he had just slain the frost dragon and packed up its materials as fast as he could, then mounted his flying mount and hurried back to the area.

The dragons entrenched in the wild, except for a body of materials, their greatest wealth is actually hidden in the lair, and when Nat kills the dragon, these things become ownerless, and he must hurry to collect them. in order to avoid being preempted by others.

Nat soon made his way to the deepest part of the sprawling lair, and on a huge stone platform, he found a huge ball of ice hockey that occupied almost a third of the area. Through the gloomy white ice crystals, you can faintly see the few items sealed inside.

Nat drew his greatsword and aimed it at the ice in front of him, and was silent for a few seconds. As Nat's arm tensed suddenly, the blade slashed forward with lightning rage, and a sharp cold light flashed. Nat had already retracted his sword, and on the stone platform in front of him, the massive puck cracked!

"Click."

A clear crack emerged, causing the puck to quickly fall apart, and a large amount of broken ice mixed with rolling gold coins flowed out of the ice, resounding with a crisp and pleasant sound, and as the ice collapsed and shattered, the shining gold coins converged into a river, piling up a hill on the ground.

Nat immediately stepped forward and began to collect a lot of these gold coins, most of which are now common gold coins in the Kadolin Continent, and some of them belong to ancient civilizations, which are more precious.

Once all the gold coins were in it, Nat counted his gains from his inventory - more than 30 million gold coins, as well as antiques, treasures, and ancient gold coins that could be exchanged for more than 20 million gold coins sold to merchants, as well as a few other marginal gains.

For anyone, this is a huge amount of money, tens of millions of gold coins are not a small number even today, enough to make a large guild take a risk, but Nat was not happy, but frowned.

"Too little." He weighed the purse and muttered to himself.

Nat has killed a legendary-level dragon, and he has a clear understanding of this kind of monsters and monsters that produce a lot of currency, generally speaking, the total value of the items and gold coins they drop will be limited to a range, but for an epic blue dragon, he feels that less than 60 million is really a bit less.

Then there is only one possible explanation for the remainder......

Nat lowered his head and looked at the equipment and items he had piled aside, which were glowing with a colorful glow, a large amount of brilliant purple and dazzling gold reflected the entire cave wall of the lair, and he could even see a faint orange light or two.

Among these items, there should be something of value that is particularly precious.

Nat stuffed all the epic and legendary stuff into his backpack, and he was going to look at them later, and by the time he was done, there were only two items left on the ground that glowed with a rich orange glow.

Nat hesitated for a moment, not picking it up immediately.

He saw a crystal that exuded cold and cold air, like a magic crystal ball, Nat was the first time to kill an epic dragon, so he didn't know what it was, if it was Yashu, he could naturally recognize it at a glance, this is the Ice Dragon Pearl, the dragon above the epic level will be generated after death, it is a kind of energy core, and the energy core of the evil dragon can be used to exchange for prestige or entrust the dragon army to do things.

Ashur's Obodo Ring of Scourge swallowed one, and he also used a Dragon's Pearl.

Lying next to the cold Ice Dragon Pearl, there was another slightly inconspicuous thing, of course, this inconspicuousness only referred to the appearance, and his dazzling orange light was enough to draw the eyes of any adventurer.

It was a white, frosty-stained bone fragment with a slight black spot on it.

Nat hesitated for a moment, first picked up the Ice Dragon Pearl, which was obviously better-looking, and after reading the instructions on it, he casually threw it into his backpack, because it was one of the things that Asher had named, the Ice Dragon Pearl, and then Nat picked up the bone fragment.

Before he came, Ashur told him that he was not interested in any equipment, materials and gold coins produced by the blue dragon, and that Ashur needed a special prop in addition to the Dragon Spirit and the Ice Dragon Pearl, which must be orange mythical, for which he would pay an additional sum of hundreds of millions of gold coins.

Since the Ice Dragon Pearl, there is only this mythical item left, it must be this bone fragment, and Nat is also a little curious, what is the thing that people like Ashur urgently need.

"Fragments of the keel."

As soon as Nat picked up this bone fragment, a surging frost force instantly surged on his palm, and instantly froze his palm, Nat was not surprised, the bead just now also had such an effect, but it was much lighter, and one of his arms suddenly swelled, shattering all the ice cubes.

Returning the keel fragment back into his backpack, he read the caption.

Dragonbone Fragment (Mythic)

Quest items

Uses: Summons the power of frost, reducing movement speed and attack speed by 50% for 10 seconds.

"Maybe you should take it to the Temple of Dragon's Sleep."

Even a person like Nat who is used to being calm and unfazed can't help but shake his head after seeing the attributes of this mythical prop.

In his opinion, this is a pure teasing item, after all, his so-called use effect is to inflict damage on himself and weaken the state, not the enemy, who would use such a 2b item to fight.

He speculated that Asher should have known something about the follow-up mission, or that he had done it himself, and that he needed it, but Nat didn't care.

It wasn't his chance, it was his order, so Nat didn't have any extra thoughts, he just wanted to give this thing to Asher in exchange for the payment he deserved.

Nat packed up all his belongings and quickly left the lair, then sent a voice request to Asher.

"Where are you?" Asher paced back and forth in front of the gate.

"I haven't left the Far North Continent yet, if you want to get it right away, I can wait for you at Garqat." Nat said.

"I'll contact you later, and I'll keep it for me first." Asher turned off the magic crystal.
