Chapter 42: The Book of Sybil
After a very careful search, the team finally found the treasure room of the black-robed Bull. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not surprisingly, the chamber is more protected than ever. Even a good adventurer like a shark took a long time to reluctantly open it. As soon as the secret room was opened, a "surprise" immediately popped up.
Several Iron Golems and Clay Golems staggered over. This kind of guy who is not afraid of interrogation was not killed by that magic with the death of the black-robed Bull.
"Pointless move. Canian commented. If all the comers have been able to open the Chamber of Secrets, can they be stopped with just a few Golems? In Canion's opinion, it would be better to send the Golems in the first battle.
Traditionally, the tactics for these golems have been to use Adamantite weapons, but well-armed adventurers have a better choice. Under the attack of magical weapons with destructive attributes, the seemingly powerful golems quickly rushed to the ground.
After the last obstacle was solved, the treasure of the black-robed Bull was unabashedly exposed to the adventurers.
"It's beautiful......" Liukrisa exclaimed. She was not uninformed, but she was still shocked by the scene in front of her.
The secret room in front of you is beautifully decorated with all kinds of jewelry. The nature of the black-robed Bul Dragon Clan made him spare no effort to create such a splendid room. A wide range of jewellery is delicately arranged throughout, from the most expensive crystals, garnets and peridots to rare diamonds. And irradiated by the inextinguishable flame, they have reflected the gorgeous color. Perhaps there is nothing unique here. But they all bring out the most beautiful side of each other. Moisturizing, or crystal clear. Colorful and beautiful.
In addition to gemstones created by geological changes, there are also jewels from plants and animals. There are large corals of strange shapes, strings of pearls, and countless amber inlaid together to form a wall.
"Nothing particularly expensive jewelry. "While many of the team members were still in shock, the shark had already been roughly checked. In fact, the room in the black robe is mainly composed of cheap jewelry from large roads. After a lot of twists and turns, the shark discovers another secret room behind the amber wall panels.
When the second chamber was opened, even Triste let out an exclamation.
"Thunder, Thor's Hammer!"
The first thing that catches the eye of the adventurer is a Golem armor (power armor).
While the Golem armor itself is known for being the best defensive gear, the performance of the Golem armor also varies from model to model. The team members were equipped with the golem armor that had been used to make a difference in the battle against the six-armed snake demon, which had been nothing more than a normal quality in the past. And Thor's hammer is one of the best golem armors, which was extremely rare back then. It is said that the number has remained at around 300. So the battle of the warriors (two long-time enemies on the Moria Peninsula, Rasi Timon and Argos, each sent 300 warriors to duel in the appointed place, and the wounded could not withdraw or be healed until all the warriors of one side were killed. ), the Battle of Demobil (300 Rasi Timon warriors were broken off against an enemy army that was a hundred times more familiar. The Elves of Rasitimon are known for their 300 warriors. The golem armor that was so precious and rare back then has very few remnants to this day.
Thorhammer is one of the best golem armor pieces and has a legendary reputation. Especially for the elves, who have been familiar with the appearance of Thor's hammer from coloring books almost since they were children. No wonder Triste recognized it at first sight.
"I don't think our adventure will end there. The shark spoke. Even this legendary golem armor is in front of you, and you can imagine how tricky the forces behind the black-robed Bull are.
"This one is broken, and it won't be activated. Thankfully. Triste stepped forward to inspect it. You must know that if the golem armor of this level had participated in the battle just now, then at least there would be a few fewer adventurers standing here now, or at worst, everyone would have been caught in the dungeon, and some people would have been locked up in that desolate secret room......
Thankfully, the Thor's hammer couldn't move.
The shark focused his attention on the small boxes, and when he opened them, the people who had already seen the extravagance of the black-robed Bull and were mentally prepared were amazed again.
The first box is the smallest and can be easily held in one hand. But I'm afraid that the value of the items contained in it is also the highest. It was a box of diamonds, separated from each other and enclosed in an oval shape. The middle one is the largest, the size of a pigeon's egg, and the diamonds around it are decreasing in size, but the smallest diamond is also gem-quality.
"The craftsmanship is superb. The shark picked one up and explained to the inextinguishable flame. "Look at this near-perfect cut!"
The value of a diamond is not just about its size. In many cases, if the cut is perfect, even if it is smaller, then the diamond can sell for a sky-high price. After all, the rough diamond itself is not beautiful at all, and the brilliance of the diamond depends entirely on the cut.
"These diamonds alone will be enough to cover everything for this adventure, including the pension. Canian sighed. This level of adventure is not the same as a no-cost transaction like a robbery. In fact, at this level, an adventure costs as much money as a small campaign! Potions, wands, and scrolls are worth not mentioning, and weapons and armor that can be used over and over again are worn. Just repairing the "Defender", the long sword Martin used this time, cost more than 100,000 copper coins. The cost of materials to set up a teleportation circle to teleport these adventurers is not cheap, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous expenses...... Not to mention the issue of pensions for the war dead. The organization has always been generous with regard to the issue of pensions, and the philosophy of such organizations does not allow them to send the widows of the war dead, so ......
And the harvest is much more than just a box of diamonds. The sharks opened the chests one by one, and all kinds of gems were dripping with them. These gems are no better than the big road goods outside, all of them are carefully selected and flawless. Obviously, one of the ways to relax was to admire the cleverly arranged gems in the golden chamber outside, while playing with the more precious gems in his hands.
The black-robed Bull is really a dragon...... Everyone sighed. Among the adventurers here, there are no poor people. But very few people have ever seen so many treasures at once.
"......" Liu Kelixia picked up a few gems and played with them carefully. In a woman's nature, she can't put down these beautiful stones.
"Just pick a few if you like, you are a great contributor to the success of this adventure. Triste, who had the right to distribute the spoils, said generously. This adventure was a wonderful success, enough to make all the team members go home with their pockets full.
Hearing Trisette say this, Lyukrisia smiled embarrassedly, and just picked a few gems that looked beautiful but were average in price. She wasn't interested in the value behind the gemstones, she just liked the delicacy.
"Huh, there's more?" the shark opened another secret drawer. What was placed inside disappointed some people, it was just an ancient book. Suddenly, a light came out of the book and shone on Lyukrixia.
What is this? The adventurers were immediately on alert, but after a few moments, the light faded and nothing happened. Trisette examined Lyukrixia a little, but found nothing unusual. So the adventurers lost their guard and continued to loot the Black-robed Bull's collection. Only Canian picked up the ancient book with a solemn face, as if he was trying to figure out something.
In addition to these gemstones, there are also some necklaces, rings, crowns and other jewelry treasured in the secret room of the black robe, which are also dazzling, and in addition to the jewels on them, they also have extremely high artistic value. In addition, there are several magical items, some of which even Triste does not dare to determine their function, and need to be brought back and slowly analyzed with the help of identification. The other few items are very familiar to the team members, and they are commonly used magic items in the good camp, and they can't be used by the black-robed Bull's subordinates, so they are put here.
Several of those items were clearly used by people the team knew well. Now seeing them here, the fate of their owners can be imagined. This couldn't help but dampen the excitement of the players.
Losing interest, the team members walked out of the secret room and continued their search. Not all precious items will be kept in this chamber. Potions, scrolls, magic items, magic weapons, magic armor, and other items must have their own storage place.
Martin, on the other hand, recalls his own childhood, when he often fantasized that he could find a large treasure in a cave or secret room and redeem himself and his adoptive father from serfdom in exchange for freedom. In my imagination, treasure was not sorted and placed in this way, but gold coins like piles of sand, mixed with precious stones, jewelry, and swords. That's a ridiculous child's fantasy, of course, and if it does, the gem will probably be worn out and its value will be lost.
Regardless, Martin's childhood dream came true.
As it approached evening, the castle of Blackrobe Bull was turned upside down, and most of the valuable items were found. From weapons to armor, from potions to wands, from scrolls to scepters, to curiosities. Lin Lin can always spread a lot on the ground. The detailed distribution of the loot will have to wait until the return time to count its value.
Even if you haven't gotten it yet, just looking at these treasures is enough to make you feel happy. Seeing the sun set, some adventurers began to busily prepare dinner.
There will be no victory celebration tonight, but it will be sumptuous. Blackrobe Bull is a hedonistic dragon who has collected a lot of precious ingredients in his kitchen. Add to that the abundance of precious spices captured, and it's safe to assume that adventurers will be in for a treat.
Skilled adventurers went into the kitchen to get to work, while the rest of the adventurers began to prepare for the evening.
After a successful adventure, the resting adventurers were attacked by the night, and the group was wiped out more than once. As adventurers, they are bound to take this into account. In the afternoon, the team arranged by Triste had already arrived, and more than half of the six people who came were spellcasters, although they were not highly cultivated, but fortunately, none of the full spell slots were used.
It's not enough to have these energetic responders. The rest of the adventurer should also be particular. After figuring out the castle of the black robe, everyone decided to rest in the castle, and everyone quickly chose the general location. It is necessary to get close to each other to ensure that they can support each other, and to avoid getting too close to each other and being solved by a surprise attack by the enemy. It took a lot of effort to arrange the specific location. After choosing, a few energetic guys actually moved a few richly decorated beds and vowed to enjoy them. Most adventurers, on the other hand, simply lay out a blanket and sleeping bag, which is a comfortable nest.
Although Martin decided to make do with it in his sleeping bag, he still moved a bed for Liukrisia with others. And use the phrase "the caster must ensure a good night's sleep" as a cover.
"But aren't you also a spellcaster? Shark jokingly said to Martin, "Besides, Lyukrisia doesn't want to sleep in a sleeping bag, even if she is on a horse, she can sleep enough to restore spells, and don't forget her status as a paladin." ”
Then, he approached Martin and whispered, "Don't be too shy, for adventurers, shyness can lead to lifelong regrets, after all, it is very likely that the next adventure will be ......"
Just then, an adventurer came up and informed everyone that it was time to eat.
The delicious food was so appetizing for everyone, even the tortured prisoners insisted on something easy to digest. Compared to the black broth of Lassi Timon in the morning, all this in front of me can be described as a royal enjoyment.
"Well, you're making Numidian chicken stew again?" Martin asked Lyukria again.
"That's right...... "Lyukrixia said embarrassedly, "Actually, I'll only make this dish......"
......
"But even so, this dish is really delicious. Martin said as he reached for his knife and fork. He had never been exposed to such tools in his childhood, and it was not until the Starch Spencer School druids that he used them for the first time.
Martin will not forget what brought his former serf to where he is today.
The dinner was hearty, but the adventurers only drank a little alcohol to liven up the atmosphere. After all, this night is a time to be on guard.
After arranging her nighttime guards, Triste decided to have the priests use the special ability of Divine Vitality to restore magic to the spellcasters.
The caster's ability to sustain combat has been a constant headache. The caster's spell is gone, unlike the warrior who can continue swinging his sword after a short rest. Also, the caster's number of spells is extremely limited. Low-level mages tend to have only a few magics. For this reason, people have found ways to restore spells. Expensive mana regeneration pearls are one. There is also a cheap and convenient Priest's special ability, "Divine Vitality", which can sacrifice the number of times to dispel undead creatures and restore a few spells to the caster.
In addition, there are other more obscene ways to restore spells in small quantities, which are commonly used by some evil organizations. And the average kind adventurer rarely uses it unless they are husband and wife or lovers. This method is commonly known as "mending the demons......
In the current situation, there was naturally no need to do that, and after completing the night guard work, most of the adventurers went to rest, and a few leaders simply held a small meeting.
After the meeting, Cannian grabbed Triste and whispered to her, "I studied the ancient book and found that it looks like the Book of Sybil I've seen!"
"What?"
"What's more, although I can't read the words in the book, the content of this book is definitely different from the three books locked in the temple. ”
“!”
The Book of Sybil, the Book of Prophecy. It is highly classified, and many prophecies clearly point to Norma and have come true, such as those related to reforms and expansions. In the time of Norma, only the High Priest was allowed to read it. The Norma people were convinced of this book, and in that great crisis, the Normars, who had always hated human sacrifice, followed the instructions of the prophecy book and brutally buried the number of humans and spirits specified in the book in the city.
The Book of Sybil in the hands of the Normars was not one, but three. In fact, it's actually the rest. During the reign of Norma, the stupidity of the last king, Tarquin, led to the loss of six copies of the Book of Sybil. The contents of the six lost books have always been sought.
"You mean that the ancient book that we have now seized from Blackrobe is one of the six that were lost?" asked Trisette, her voice trembling at the moment.
"That's right!" replied Canion, in no uncertain terms.
