Chapter 288: Betty's Abilities
It was also a coincidence when I came down from the airship, just in time for the sunset, and the sunset town under the sunset had a special lazy charm, which made people involuntarily calm down, and I wanted to find a place to sit quietly, drink a cup of coffee, and read a book.
Leon did the same, setting up a tall watchtower in the center of the town, and Leon and Betty quietly climbed to the top of the tower and watched the sun slowly set.
Sunset Town is located at the westernmost point of the fifteenth level of the Abyss, and is also the closest to the Sunset Mountains, and was originally established as a sentinel to monitor the Sunset Mountains.
However, over time, it has gradually lost its role as a skirmish and has become an ordinary town.
These are also mentioned in the Abyss Travel Guide, but it doesn't say what it was watching as an outpost, which was a long time ago.
"There is a ruin in the Sunset Mountain Range, and there are many people who have just come to explore, especially after discovering the Purple Thunder Demon Hammer, one of the top ten magic weapons, there are more people who come here, but as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer things that can be found, and slowly few people come, and occasionally there are some lucky people who come here to try their luck." Betty introduced as she flipped through the book.
"Ruins, I have to go see them." Ever since he learned about the existence of the ruins, Leon has been very interested.
"According to the information on the bounty, the target is the guard officer of the ruins, just on the way." Betty put the magical book away, and instead took out the golden bounty and looked at it.
After a night's rest, Leon and Betty set out on a journey to the Sunset Mountains, a wide road between Sunset Town and the Sunset Mountains.
It is conceivable that at the peak of the time, it should have been full of endless crowds, but now, there is no one who will pant for breath on the front and back, and the whole road, Leon and Betty can walk as much as they want.
The Sunset Mountains are volcanic areas, and you can feel the scorching waves of air from time to time, mixed with a faint smell of sulfur.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, for such an environment, Li Ang not only doesn't have any thoughts of rejection, but feels a little inexplicable intimacy, in the concept of human beings, isn't the devil supposed to live in such a place.
The Sunset Mountains are not only volcanic areas, but also have an active volcano, some of which are still emitting thick black smoke, and there are lava slowly flowing down from the top of the mountain, like flowing flames.
After walking for almost two hours in the Sunset Mountains, Leon and Betty finally arrived at the destination of their trip: the Sunset Ruins, of course, this is the name given by later generations, as for the name of the ruins before they became ruins, no one knows at all, and there is no way to verify what the purpose is.
"That's where the Purple Thunder Hammer was dug up?" Leon and Betty hid in the shadow of a large stone and looked at the large ruined ruins in the valley in front of them: "What does the Purple Thunder Demon Hammer have to do with the Purple Thunder Demon Clan?" ”
"It is said that the Purple Thunder Demon Clan only rose after obtaining the Purple Thunder Demon Hammer, and originally they were completely half a catty and eight taels with the weakest demons like the Red Flame Demon."
"The potential to change an entire race with just one magic weapon?" Li Ang felt a little incredible, the reason why the Red Flame Demon was weak was because the innate potential of the entire race was relatively low, and the upper limit of strength was low.
And the current Purple Thunder Demon Clan, the potential is not low, it can reach the strength of the sixth level when it is an adult, and the strength of the seventh level can be reached if the talent is slightly better, and it can be stronger if it cultivates hard, otherwise how can it become a powerful race second only to the Void Demon Clan.
"The legend is like this, but the specific situation is estimated that even the Purple Thunder Demon Clan can say clearly, one thing is certain, the Purple Thunder Demon Hammer is indeed in the hands of the Purple Thunder Demon Clan, and it is in the hands of the patriarchs of the past dynasties."
Just when Li Ang was about to ask about the situation of other magic weapons, a group of soldiers came in the distance, wearing red armor made of unknown materials, covered with sharp thorns where they did not affect their movements, and combined with the demon's generally vicious appearance, it was intimidating.
The Sunset Ruins are actually public relics that are open to the public, and they are not forbidden for others to enter, and the soldiers patrolling are just boring to pretend, after all, it is the Purple Thunder Demon Hammer, one of the top ten magic weapons found here.
Not only here, but other relics where magic weapons were found are garrisoned by soldiers, but the role is not to guard the relics, the ruins are generally open to the outside world, whether there is something or not, it is based on their own strength, and the soldiers stationed in Li Ang's opinion is a face project.
The reason why Leon and Betty are hiding from the soldiers is entirely because they are here to do bad things, to kill the commander of the family, so why don't they hide? To put it bluntly, it is a weak heart.
"Let's go, go in and have a look." After the team of soldiers left, Leon decided to visit the ruins first, there was no hurry to kill, there was still more than a month to go, and the target was the commander of the ruins guard, and he couldn't run.
Since it is a ruin, it is naturally a ruined wall, full of collapsed houses, or simply only a foundation remains.
Although they are all dilapidated, you can still vaguely see the style of some buildings, which is very different from the architectural style of the current demons.
After walking further for a while, I finally found a relatively intact building, the main body is still there, but one corner has collapsed, the roof of the sloping roof is very high, the slope is very steep, and the whole is made of brown rock.
The style of this house is very similar to the architectural style of Northern Europe on the earth, but he has not studied the architecture of Northern Europe, and he can't be sure for a while.
Ruins are really just ruins, and after so many years, it is strange that there are only some building ruins left.
However, Leon was not without results, as can be seen from the structure of the building, the life that built these ruins was definitely not a demon, because the height of each floor inside it was very similar to that of the buildings on Earth, and it was built in a completely human-like shape.
"Do you know who built these ruins?" Leon asked.
"I don't know, there's no record of them at all."
Not documented? Are there no descendants either? Leon felt that something was wrong, that these ruins were left by the civilization before the so-called cataclysm, that was certain.
No matter what the cataclysm is, there can't be a single survivor, right?
And there is another question, where did the demons come from? Their history is only a few thousand years, and thousands of years are not enough time for a race to be born from nothing, let alone intelligent life.
There are too many mysteries in this abyssal world divided into nineteen pieces, and Li Ang has some guesses, but there is still a mess in his heart.
This walk was an afternoon, and before I knew it, it was time for the sun to set again, Betty looked up at the sun, and then looked at Leon: "Master, people are hungry." ”
"Here you go." Leon took out a bun and handed it to Betty.
"Ahh Master, this one is such a waste. Betty shook her head again and again, since the last time she ate the bun and awakened the ability, Betty didn't want to eat it anymore, she obviously didn't want to eat it, she just felt that this thing must be very valuable and didn't want to waste it.
"Eat, or I'll find you something to eat now." Betty is good at everything, but she is very good at eating, otherwise she would not have gotten on the thief ship of Leon.
After stuffing Betty with a few buns, Leon made them on a relatively flat stone on the side of the road, took out the buns and began to eat them.
He once tried to process the ingredients of the abyss by himself, and the result was that he came to a conclusion, it is not easy to cook in the abyss, he has always been wrong to blame them before, their cooking level is really good, and they are definitely chefs on the earth.
The food in the abyss is unpalatable, and the problem lies entirely in the ingredients themselves, and the dishes made with Li Ang's ability are much more unpalatable than those in the abyss restaurant.
Since then, Li Ang has been feeding on steamed buns, and for the first time, he is very glad that his ability is to defeat the monsters and drop the buns, otherwise he will starve to death in the abyss.
At Leon's request, Betty ate in small bites, chewed carefully, and her beautiful eyes completely narrowed, and she ate very happily.
"By the way, what was your last awakened ability?" Seeing Betty eating steamed buns, Leon remembered that he had forgotten to ask her what her abilities were last time.
"Master, haven't you seen it?"
"Seen? What? Leon thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember what he had seen.
"That's it." Betty pulled out her magical book again.
Leon blinked his eyes, what kind of ability did he meow? Why can't I read it? Storage?
After Betty's explanation, Leon understood that her ability turned out to be a summoning book, and for each level she was upgraded, she could summon one more book, because her current ability level was only one level, so she could only summon this book at present.
No wonder there is a book with such a painful title, it turned out to be summoned, but where did it come from?
Leon, the person who can summon, has also encountered it before, there are those who summon demons, and there are also those who summon other creatures, the origin of the demon is already clear, he is now in the abyss, presumably other strange beasts also have a history, so what about this book?
"Hey! Master, my talent has been upgraded! Betty suddenly cried out with joy.
It's been a month since I awakened, and it's normal for my ability to go from level 1 to level 2.
"What kind of book is it calling this time?" Leon was a little curious, although Betty's ability is wonderful, it can't be said to be useless, at least along the way, if it weren't for her book, it might not be so smooth, and the travel strategy for going out is still very important.
"I'll see." As he spoke, he began to summon.
Her summoning is very simple, that is, her hands are empty, and after a while, a book appeared in her hand out of thin air, after all, it is only a book that is summoned, and it is normal without any special effects, and Li Ang doesn't care, but the title of the book makes him speechless again.
