Chapter 424: The End of the Road
"Wow"
Four soldiers floated up from under the water and pushed the object in their hands ashore with all their mightโthe 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 wreck 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"
The "essence of water" in Taal Lake was also rounded by a large 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, Sodrore was now 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-"
Luo Di took it when he heard this, and now this thing does have the unique texture and luster of metal forging, but the barbarians on the glacial plain can'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. โ
Sodrore reached out and gestured, slowly turning the metal plate over. Roddy laughed dumbly after hearing this: "Chest armor? This thing is enough as a door panel, who is so big? Is it possible to become a snow monster to wear? โ
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." โ
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 pieces of "water essence", Luo Di also unexpectedly found a "extreme water essence" - this essence is shaped like a sapphire, the quality is purple epic, obviously contains more pure energy, belongs to the best elemental gems 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 completing the goal, 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 and windy area, Roddy followed the instructions on the "Judgment of the Throne of Bones" quest reward and finally made his way to a deserted ruin in the canyon.
Although there is no regeneration battle along the way, it seems quite dangerous along the way - the monster levels in the Death Canyon range from level 6 to level 6, and several of the leader-level monsters are not at all what this team can deal with, but the task rewards will not trick people after all, and the chosen route has bypassed the territory of high-level demonic beasts, and there has been 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 exercised their nerves, and they no longer had any fear at all.
Despite this, there was a subtle doubt in Roddy's heart - he had spent two levels of his second level here, so he was extremely familiar with the distribution of monsters in the Valley of the Dead Words. However, as the party marched through the woodlands, Roddy noticed several times that the location of the snow monster group had 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 with hard ice and snow, and they have long been unrecruct, Roddy has scattered the team to stand on guard, and he himself has 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, carrying the ice crystal thorn all the way forward.
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.
"Something needs to be opened."
Roddy looked at the prompt in front of him, which read, "Activate the mechanism with energy, get rewards", he thought for a moment, 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 doesn't work? โ
He thought for a moment, reached out and took out a "Water Essence" and placed it in the groove - this time the circle did not explode, but flashed a flash of light and slowly cracked, revealing a qiฤ 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 drawing, and now it was not just a drawing or a recipe, it also told 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 is not only a profound attainment in forging, but also proficient in magic circles, enchantments, and academic research, and by today's standards, he can basically be called an "all-rounder" and "genius" -- he has countless astonishing insights 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 deeply about it - he put the recipe away, he rummaged through the cracked wall, and now there were still some undecayed paper manuscripts in it, and looked through it carefully, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"These buildings weren't made by barbarians, are they? Why do I feel familiar? โ
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." โ
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. โ
"What's in this institution? Are they all letters? โ
"Some private notes." Roddy stretched out his hand to sort out the paperwork, and did not explain much, but waved his hand to signal Sodrol and the others to prepare to leave: "Ready to go, there is one last place left." โ
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 by pure 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 the mana will be restored.
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 previously calm elements around her began to vibrate - she touched the wound on her abdomen that had healed for the most part, 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 have almost cost her half her life, but this life of escape will never end - unless some lost magic circle is used to obscure the breath, the special induction between the dragons will definitely make the pursuers come to the door again in a matter of months
She didn't like the feeling of being desperate, but right now she didn't choose to open the seal, find the "artifact treasure" left by the legendary Solomon, and give herself power, which was the only thing she could hope for.
And what if a qiฤ is not born as imagined?
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 break the seal in the past four days, so when her hands began to draw dark purple runes in the air, a qiฤ... It has embarked on an irreversible path.
[There are two more, this one is put up, and the next one is put after 2 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. ใ
