376.Chapter 376
Because of the city of Elson, Roddy was already familiar with the architectural style of the High Elves - the "Charged Crystal" was usually located underground as a source of defensive energy, and the core of the "Laboratory" was basically located in the largest round tower.
The base of this tower is somewhat similar to the Pachar Magic Tower, but it is far from the scale of the Magic Tower, the middle of the tower has broken and disappeared, and it is only more than ten meters high in total, covered with vines and moss.
Sodrol quickly relayed messages to him as soon as he entered the ground, and Roddy finally relaxed a little after hearing the soldiers loudly report the number of hedrons.
More than 500 hedrons were already able to ensure that he completed the plan he had booked.
The tense spirit relaxed, and his mood improved a lot, he carried the battle axe on his back, carried the short bow in his hand, and turned to Akasha and said, "Will you go up with me and have a look?"
"Ahh I, I'll forget it. ”
Akasha looked at the tower, shook her head and refused, but Roddy didn't embarrass her, and said, "Then you just wait here and pay attention to your surroundings." ”
After saying this, he gestured to Nata in the distance: "Watch out for the perimeter guard." ”
Nata nodded in response, then turned and disappeared into the woods, leaving Akasha behind and leaving Nokia to wait at the bottom of the tower while she walked up the spiral staircase.
Because it was covered with moss, the stone steps under your feet were soft to step on. Roddy climbed the stairs, and after stepping past a large chunk of broken stone, he picked up a scattered stone slab on the ground.
The words "dissection room" made Roddy stunned, and then remembered that Camilla had said that this was the place where the high elves studied "high-level creatures".
What are higher-order organisms?
Roddy looked to the right, and found that the bleak "dissection room" was empty, and continued to walk up, there were words "Experiment-II" in front of the huge compartment, Roddy reached out and touched the huge scratches on the stone wall, but he couldn't guess what kind of creatures had been locked up here...
However, what surprised him was still behind, near the middle of the whole tower, that is, the "top floor" of the broken tower at this time, Luo Di found a "potion storage room", although the wooden frame had decayed and broken, but there were still dozens of bottles of potions on the ground that had not yet been broken!
Pushing aside the weeds and vines, Roddy gently picked up the blue-purple potion contained in the crystal bottle from the rotting ground, and when he opened the [Inventory], he was so frightened that he almost threw the bottle out!
There are many "sophisticated" and "epic" level equipment in the game, but most of the potions are "excellent" level. "Excellent" level potions can often fetch sky-high prices at auction houses because of their rarity, but at this time, the potions in Luo Di's hands are showing the "epic" level with purple prefixes!
This is the main reason for Rodiden's Tower: there is always a place in the game called the "Treasure Chest Tower"... Instead of guarding bosses, there will be some unexpected "perks" to reward players who discover this place for the first time.
Roddy has been in this world for more than a year, but he has not seen "welfare" a few times, speaking of which, this is the first time he has opened up the "treasure chest tower" in a serious way.
The potion in his hand was not large, only a very small bottle, and there was not much flashing handwriting on it:
【Biological Mutant Reagent (Experimental Reagent-VII)】
Use: Mutates and optimizes the bloodline of the consumed creature, with unknown effect.
"A potion researched by the High Elves to study the mystery of biological mutation. ”
I was a little disappointed in my heart: this bottle of potion has no practical value at all in Roddy's eyes, who would dare to drink a potion with an "unknown effect"? What should I do if Nokia drinks it and turn into a turtle? What should I do if I turn into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? This is all a matter of no reason.
Roddy hates "random" events the most, so he doesn't like the flask at all - but for the sake of "epic", he still rubs the potion and puts it in his bag.
Continuing to walk forward, Roddy picked up the crystal bottles on the ground one after another, only to find that they all showed "expired potions" or "broken potions", and it was obvious that few potions here were still effective after seven hundred years.
However, what Roddy lacked most was patience, and finally ten minutes later, he picked up a bottle of "epic" level potion again:
【Soletta's Fury】
Use: Deduct 15% HP from your maximum HP, increase your strength by 500%, and increase your critical strike chance by 90% for 10 seconds.
"The wrath of Soleta, the king of the silver apes, will consume everything!"
Roddy took a deep breath... This bottle of potion alone is enough to pay back the "ticket price" of going deep into the forest.
Deduct 15% of the blood, so that the attack power can be increased dozens of times in ten seconds, even if there is only one bottle of such a potion, it is enough for Luo Di to turn the tide in any place!
And the words "King of the Silver Apes" also made Roddy secretly stunned - "Silver Apes" are as rare as dragons today, 700 years later, because the "Silver Apes" recorded in the classics are recognized as representatives of "power", and some people even believe that they are much greater than the physical power of ordinary dragons...
"What are the elves studying..."
Roddy sighed to himself, and continued to rummage through the few remaining bottles of potions on the ground, and then found the last vial of green potion that could still be used from under a stone platform:
【Blood of the Fear of Ao】
Uses: Heals 50% of total health over 10 seconds.
"What secrets are hidden by the immortal dinosaurs? ”
Although the effect of the potion was really not the best for Roddy, he was still shocked by the name of the potion!
The "Dinosaur" is a truly legendary creature, even more ethereal than the dragon - the limited information that Luo Di has come into contact with says that the "Dinosaur" is a mutated form of the dragon, and its vitality is tenacious to the point of almost "immortality", because there is a recorded dinosaur that has lived for more than 2,000 years!
The ambition and strength of the high elves, Roddy has already had a sense of "knowing the autumn of a leaf" through these bottles of potion, in other words, he didn't even think that anything could stop the high elves in that era...
These guys can beat dragons, silver apes and even dinosaurs through arcane arts, what else can't they beat?
At the same time, Luo Di also had a doubt in his heart: how could they be exterminated by the orcs?
Even though he had read a lot of high elf books, he still didn't know anything about it.
After these potions, this "treasure chest tower" was basically devoid of many valuable things, and the only thing that could be considered a harvest was a notebook made of special animal skins, which crumpled and recorded the data of some experiments, and Roddy did not look closely, and also stuffed it into his bag.
Looking down from the tower, Roddy could see the sappers rushing from the road to the south, while Sodrore came out with soldiers armed with shields and torches, apparently confirming that there was no danger below, and was about to direct the sappers to begin carrying the hedrons.
The task was completed, and three more bottles of epic potions were harvested, and the gloomy mood of the past few days was swept away, Roddy breathed a sigh of relief, and after jumping off the other end of the tower, he was about to go around the tower to find Akasha, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly found that not far in front of him, there was a figure that was walking forward...
"Who!?"
Roddy put his arrow on his bow as he asked—this is not a city square, and anyone should be cautious when encountered—and his loud inquiry immediately alerted Sodlore and the others not far away—the footsteps of the infantry rang out, and Roddy's team was still ready for battle.
However, after his fingers clasped the bowstring, Roddy could clearly see that the guy who came from the depths of the dense forest dozens of meters away was a little... Familiar.
With long brown hair, a sackcloth robe, a lot of fallen leaves hanging all over his body, and a tattered wooden staff in his hand, Roddy had seen a picture of this wood elf once in his memory, so he asked in elven language, "Ted Village Chief?"
The figure paused, then took a few steps from the dense woods into the ten meters in front of Luo Di, the old bark-like face hung on guard, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
"My name is Roddy and I am a strategic partner of Elsa Village. ”
Ripping out the novel term, Roddy's gaze casually glanced behind Ted - to his surprise, the village chief didn't seem to have any team with him...
"I'm familiar with Chief Brudy, and you've probably heard of my name. ”
"Humph!"
Ted snorted coldly, obviously with an attitude of not wanting to see humans. Such expressions and gestures were exactly what Roddy expected, because Ted in his memory was indeed indifferent to humans and unwilling to come into contact with them.
As soon as the conversation between the two ended, Sodlore and the two teams of soldiers rushed to Roddy's side, their formation with their shields in hand was quite intimidating, but Akasha and the crawling Nokia were dragging their feet.
Ted frowned slightly and swept to the human in front of him, and Roddy didn't know if it was his own delusion: his gaze seemed to stay on Nokia's body for a moment, and then moved away without a trace...
"Take it easy, take it off. ”
Roddy gestured towards Sodlore, and the soldier holding the battle shield dagger immediately lowered his shield, he turned his head, slowly put the tight bowstring in his hand back, and whispered: "My team needs something, so I came to this ruin to search, I didn't know that the village chief Ted was here... What's the matter?"
After all, the wood elves are different from the orcs and the undead, even if they can't be friends, Roddy will not push the other party to the "hostile", so appropriate overtures are necessary. Even if the other party remains cold, he will not leave a bad impression on the other party.
However, Roddy's question was not answered in the end, not because Ted did not answer, but because... Suddenly, the shrill whistle of a hammer arrow sounded in the woodland not far away!
Everyone present was stunned for a moment—and before Roddy could give the order, a large white light shrouded the sky above...
Luo Di looked at the top of his head and said inexplicably: "Forbidden Sky Enchantment?
"Boom!"
Before he finished speaking, a violent explosion sounded in his ears, and Roddy didn't see clearly where the attack came from, and his whole body was blown away in the impact - in the spinning world, Roddy only saw a few rays of light streak across his field of vision, hitting the village chief Ted who was dodging in a hurry...
