"Whoa!"

Four soldiers floated up from the surface of the water and pushed the object in their hands ashore with all their might—the black object covered with aquatic weeds was not small, more than a meter and a half long and wide, and at first glance thought it was the wreckage of a shipwreck, but Roddy also knew that the Taal Lake in the glacial plain did not connect to any sea, but was just a closed freshwater lake, and it was unlikely that there would be a boat in such a place.

He was also a little curious, but after approaching, there was no specific page prompt in front of him, just a line of gray handwriting floating in the air:

"Broken wreckage"

In my memory, the "essence of water" of Taal Lake was also wrapped up by a certain grand guild during the opening of the wasteland, and this news made many people salivate, but as for what else they had gained, Roddy did not know - but it was certain that this kind of thing marked with "gray" font would always represent the quality of "garbage", and belonged to something of no value.

"Let's see if there's anything else, it's useless. ”

Roddy waved his hand for the soldiers to continue salvage, and when he turned around, he found Sodlore tapping his fingers at the wreckage.

"This thing seems to be metal. ”

Maybe it's because it's too old, Sodrore just snapped it, and the wreckage fell off with a "click", he looked at it carefully, frowned, and said, "This is an artificially forged thing, you look at the section-"

Hearing this, Luo Di took it and found that this thing did have the unique texture and luster of metal forging, but the barbarians on the glacial plain couldn't forge metal at all, how did this kind of thing come about?

Could it be Solomon?

The name flashed through his mind, but Roddy couldn't be sure of the relationship: he didn't know much about Solomon, and he used to know that Solomon was entirely because of the copy of "King Solomon's Treasure", but the main information was focused on the strategy of the dungeon, and his background identity was not clear at all, and those vague information could not explain the origin of the thing in front of him at this time.

"I think it's a... Chest armor. ”

Sodrore reached out and gestured, slowly turning the metal plate over. Luo Di laughed dumbly after hearing this: "Chest armor? This thing is enough as a door panel, who is so big? Could it be that a snow monster wears it?"

After saying that, Luo Di was stunned for a moment, but the unrealistic assumption in his mind was quickly overturned: "If the snow monster can wear this thing, it is estimated that the Karen Kingdom has been invaded by them, and it is estimated that it is a remnant of an ancient civilization." ”

Sodrore was not stubborn, for he could not confirm that it was the chest armor, and when Roddy said that, he felt that he was overthinking, and got up to direct the soldiers to continue salvaging the goods.

The salvage operation lasted for a day, and when evening came, the essence of water at the bottom of the lake was basically salvaged, in addition to the five hundred and twenty "water essence", Luo Di also accidentally found a "extreme water essence" - this essence is shaped like a sapphire, the quality is purple epic, and the energy contained in it is obviously more pure, and it is the best elemental gem that can not be found. With this extra gain, Roddy was naturally in a good mood, and at dinner he ordered the soldiers to slaughter two more deer for tooth sacrifice, and Erwin and the others sang and danced with the soldiers, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After the primary objective was completed, the team rested overnight and continued as planned the next day.

Four days later, on November 10, the team finally arrived at the Dead Whisper Canyon in the eastern part of the glacial plain. After entering this cold, windy area, Roddy followed the instructions on the "Judgment of the Throne of Bones" quest reward and finally made it to a deserted ruin in the canyon.

Although there were no more battles along the way, it seemed quite dangerous along the way - the monster levels in the Dead Whisper Canyon ranged from level 5 to level 50, and several of the boss-level monsters were not at all something that this team could deal with, but the mission rewards would not trick people after all, and the chosen route bypassed the territory of high-level demonic beasts, and there was no battle along the way.

The barbarians have always regarded the Dead Whisper Canyon as a forbidden place, because of the dense density of snow monsters and the prey they cannot handle. However, following Roddy all the way, Erwin and the others' courage had already been exercised, and they no longer had any fear at all.

Despite this, there was a subtle doubt in Roddy's heart - he had spent two of his two levels here when he was level 27, so he was extremely familiar with the distribution of monsters in the Valley of the Dead Words. However, as the team travels through the woodlands, Roddy notices several times that the location of the snow monster group has changed...

Although it is not much different from what he remembers, Roddy is also sensitive to record these situations. However, after careful calculations, he finally determined that the snow monsters did not pose a real threat to the team, so when he arrived at the ruins, he was completely forgotten.

The ruins in front of me have been here in my memory, but it has long since become a resting camp for players, and it is not at all as untouched as it is in front of you.

Due to environmental reasons, these ruins are basically covered by hard ice and snow, and they have long been unrecilable, Roddy has scattered the team to guard, and he himself led Sodrore, Akasha and Nata to the middle of the ruins - just in case, Sodrol slightly raised the keel shield to block the front, but Roddy did not hold it up, and walked all the way with the ice crystal thorn.

According to the instructions for the quest reward, Roddy came to an inconspicuous wall in the ruins, pulled out a dagger and chopped the ice, and then looked at the inconspicuous groove in front of him and frowned slightly.

"Roddy?"

Akasha asked beside her.

"It should be that something needs to be opened. ”

Roddy looked at the prompt in front of him, which read, "Activate the mechanism with energy, get the reward", he thought about it, raised his hand and pressed it directly on the groove, and then activated the arcane spar on the glove-

"Smack!"

The next moment, the hedron shattered without warning, and Roddy was bounced away by a countershock, and he took three or four steps back before stopping.

This scene startled several people, Sodlore had already raised his shield in an instant to block the front, and Nata's long arrow had already pointed at it...

Akasha's healing technique fell on Roddy, but at this time he showed no signs of injury, only a deeper frown.

"Energy... Arcane energy can't work?"

He thought for a moment, then reached out and took out a "Water Essence" and placed it in the groove - this time the circle did not explode, but slowly cracked with a flash of light, revealing everything inside the stone wall.

"It turns out that elemental energy is needed. ”

Roddy brushed aside the rubble and picked up the blueprint of Elondegar's Longsword, confirming that he had received the reward. Then he glanced at the drawings and saw that it was not just a drawing or a recipe, but also some other information...

The author of the recipe was a high elf master craftsman named "Flocks". The reason why he is said to be a "master craftsman" is because he not only has profound attainments in forging, but also is proficient in magic circles, enchantments and academic research, and is basically called "all-rounder" + "genius" by current standards-he has countless amazing inventions and researches, and this short sword seems to be only one of the inconspicuous ones.

The "Judgment of the Throne of Bones" has a lot to do with him, as the blueprint specifically states that this short sword was specially made by High Elf soldiers to fight against "dead" enemies.

It turns out that the undead caused trouble during the High Elf period?

Roddy was a little surprised by this, but he didn't have time to think about it - after putting the recipe away, he flipped through the cracked walls, and found that there were still some undecayed paper manuscripts inside, and looked through them carefully, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"These buildings weren't made by barbarians, do they? Why do they sound familiar?"

Akasha beside him looked at the walls that had been blurred in shape, and suddenly stretched out his hand and gestured: "There is a square area here, followed by three circular partitions, and Elson City seems to have such a design." ”

Roddy raised his gaze in some surprise, and then remembered Akasha's potential as a "scholar", and nodded: "You're right, this is the same high elf ruins as Elson, but the age is a little older. ”

"What's in this institution? Are they all letters?"

"Some private notes. Roddy stretched out his hand to sort out the paperwork, and did not explain much, just waved his hand to signal Sodlore and the others to prepare to leave: "Ready to go, there is one last place left." ”

At the same moment, Merinthera interrupted her meditative state and slowly opened her eyes.

For mages, "meditation" is a way to recharge one's mana. This method of restoring mana purely by will is obviously much less efficient than recharging it with a hedron - most mages need at least a few days or even weeks of meditation to restore all their mana. Of course, the counterpart is... The more powerful the mage, the faster it will regenerate its mana.

At the level of Merinthera, it only takes four days to recover all the mana.

"Whew..."

Taking a deep breath, the shadow dragon began to vibrate as she stood up from the stone she was sitting on, and the otherwise calm elements around her gradually began to vibrate - she touched the wound on her abdomen that had healed most of it, and the hesitation in her eyes... It was gradually replaced by an indomitable determination.

The dragons have always left no room for pursuit, and several escapes almost cost her half of her life, but this life of escape will never end - unless some lost magic circle is used to mask the aura, the special induction between the dragons will definitely make the pursuers come to the door again in a few months!

She didn't like the feeling of being desperate, but at the moment she had no choice - opening the seal, finding the legendary "artifact treasure" left by Solomon, and giving herself power, was the only thing she could hope for.

And what if it doesn't happen as you think?

She didn't even think about this assumption, because Merinthera knew that she had no room for failure now.

The elemental fluctuations were violently shaking, and she had already figured out the way to lift the seal in the past four days, so when her hands began to draw dark purple runes in the air, everything... It has embarked on an irreversible path.

[There are two more, this one is put up, and the next one is put after 12 o'clock. I tried my best to be free during the New Year, and I also sorted out my thoughts, and drove back to Beijing tomorrow, thinking about it as much as possible every three days in the future. 】
