Chapter 137: Accidental Teleportation
Through the detection of the Book of Truth, Donald learned that the two pieces of equipment were both sub-artifact-level existences, but because of the loss of divine power maintenance, the divine power had been reduced to the minimum, and they were only one step away from falling into legendary weapons, and these two sub-artifacts originally had some damage, which required a huge amount of energy to repair, and the materials were also precious and difficult to find. Presumably this is the reason why the Arcanists have stored them here.
So Donald only chose a secondary artifact and that pile of weapon materials, these are the latter in his opinion is the real hard currency, with enough energy and materials, what legendary weapons or even secondary artifacts can't be exchanged?
The weapons that were badly damaged in front and the weapons here now are no longer usable, but the rare magic metals and other materials in them have been preserved a lot, and after dismantling and smelting again, they can still get a lot of precious materials that can be used.
Ansel's two families are big families and have accumulated over the years, so they don't care too much about these scraps, but when Donald's territory was first built, only an associated blue-veined magic gold mine was found in the territory, and there was a great demand for all kinds of rare metal materials, and this batch of materials came at the right time.
As for the altar and the somewhat strange statue, no one fought with him, and he took it away as an additive. Except for the Book of Truth, the others, including the three Silver Mages, did not notice any magical fluctuations in this statue, it was just an ordinary statue.
Donald put away the altar and the statue and the tattered pieces, and Edvina and the others were no longer surprised.
As for the legendary axe, Donald said in front of everyone that the kingdom's most famous adventurer, the bounty hunter Thorge:
"If Mr. Thorge is willing to join my Dalaran Adventurer's Guild as the guild leader, I can give this weapon to Mr. to use!"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with legendary equipment?"
"It's just a legendary piece of equipment, and it's not in my eyes, if Mr. Thorge is really such a faithless villain, not joining the Adventurer's Guild will be a good thing for our guild!"
Thorge just nodded, not agreeing or disagreeing. In fact, he saw that Donald said it straightforwardly, and he was completely devoid of the hypocrisy of the nobles who tried to recruit him in the past, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of this young kingdom hero in his heart, but he needed a little time to think about it.
Holden now also understands the meaning of Donald's request for the legendary giant axe, originally he felt that Thorge was a talent along the way, but his personality was cold and difficult to recruit, and he wanted to rely on that legendary equipment to attract him to join the Thorne family, but now the thing has been in the hands of others, comparing a silver powerhouse and three pieces of legendary equipment and many gains in the ruins, Holden wisely chose the latter.
"Let's go! there's nothing of value left here!"
Hearing this, Edvina and the others looked around the dungeon, but found that there was nothing worth taking away, so they followed Donald to go beyond the dungeon and return to the upper temple.
In fact, they didn't know that the real good things in this ruin had actually reached the hands of others, and what they were fighting for was only the part that Donald deliberately gave up. Even if it was two secondary artifacts, they couldn't compare to what Donald had obtained, and no one could have imagined that the most valuable treasures in it would be the altar and the wolf-shaped statue.
The only people who know about this are Messer and Kael'thas who know it in advance.
When Donald passed the test of the Book of Truth, he discovered that the altar under the wolf-shaped statue was actually the true body of the arcane locks outside the ruins.
The arcanists actually directly used the altar of this evil god as a carrier to make this arcane lock, thinking that the material of this altar should be extraordinary, otherwise it would not be able to carry such a powerful and complex arcane magic circle. Although Donald didn't know the true history, the Book of Truth analyzed the material of the statue, which actually contained some of the remains of the true gods, and this alone was worth far more than two secondary artifacts.
Donald has already seen that the mysterious ruins in this swamp should have been a place of worship for the gods, and it is estimated that after the evil god was defeated by Serra, the Arcanists transformed this place into a human city, but as the Arcanist Empire faced destruction, it also became one of the battlefields, and countless Arcanists died on the battlefield, but the city survived because of the protection of the Mystery Lock and the remote location.
As the legend praises, the Grand Arcanist Serra, as the lord of this place, saw that the collapse of the empire was irreparable and his life was coming to an end, so with the help of the highlanders, he sealed the evil god and his own sky city.
But the real situation was a little different from Donald's guess, the Grand Arcanist actually divided the evil god into three, separated his divine soul from the divine body and the godhead, and sealed them at the two ends of the northern lands, and the soul of the evil god was sealed in this city.
This means that the other ruins in the Far North marked on the map should be the real mausoleum of the Grand Arcanist Serra, where the great Sky City and the godhead and divine body of the evil god are sealed.
Thinking about it, even if the control of the divine soul is lost, the divine body of the true god is not an ordinary corpse, it will decay and fester. As long as the true god is not completely destroyed, he will never die, even if there is only a part of the body left, and there is no external force to suppress it, a new consciousness will soon be born from it, and when it grows to a certain extent, a new god will be born.
Therefore, only an existence like Sky City can safely suppress the body and godhead of a powerful true god.
Without the protection and support of the body and the power of the Godhead, even a divine soul as powerful as a true god will gradually die out with the passage of time, of course, under normal circumstances, it may need to be calculated in tens of thousands of years. At that time, the evil god had already managed to get out of trouble.
However, the Great Arcanist Lord skillfully sealed the soul of this evil god in the Arcane Lock, so that it was suppressed and consumed by the strong ** array all the time. If the evil god's body was still there, such a magic circle wouldn't be able to trap it for long at all, and it would break through with a wave of his hand. But only the divine soul remained, and it was also free from the protection of the godhead, although it was far more powerful than the ordinary human soul ten thousand times, the evil god soul could not escape this cage.
It can be said that this ruin has been unknown for thousands of years, in addition to being in a dangerous place on the continent such as the bipedal dragon swamp, it also has a lot to do with the outer layer of fog.
After thousands of years, the evil god's soul was consumed and lost most of its memory and consciousness, and finally only a weak but tough origin divinity remained, and the power of the divine soul has been stripped of ninety percent of it, all of which have been transformed into the power of the arcane lock, which is the arcane mystery lock that has been maintained for thousands of years without being presided over and filled with energy.
After refining the power of a true god's soul, this arcane mystery lock, which was originally made of good material, can be said to have reached the level of a secondary artifact.
And the statue that preserves the original divinity of the evil god is even more precious to Donald.
"This is an ownerless Origin Divinity! With this, I can gain the power of divinity, and the Book of Truth can even restore some of its functions and turn on more powerful functions. ”
Of course, this will have to wait until he returns to the territory before he can start to work, and I am afraid that it will not be safe in this ruin now.
Just when Donald's heart was full of longing, he heard a shout from the other side of the temple:
"Look, there's a temple here!"
Hearing the shouts, everyone gathered around Miss Emily of House Thorne. Miss Emily was standing in front of a building, and the door in front of her had been pushed open. It's just that a person is a little timid and doesn't dare to enter for a long time.
When Horton arrived, he didn't care to teach his reckless granddaughter a lesson, but he was attracted by the situation in the door.
It was a slightly smaller temple-like building next to the side of the temple, and they had entered the main hall of the temple before, not caring that there was another temple building on the side.
When the group entered the door, they found that the situation inside was completely different from the previous one.
The temple was filled with nothing but a platform that could hold hundreds of people and a strange structure in front of it.
Looking at the prismatic columns inlaid with crystals around the wide platform, as well as the mystical figures cast from unknown metal on them, Messer immediately said excitedly:
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Donald with a surprised face.
"Teacher, you said this is a teleportation array?"
Teleportation Array: One of the greatest inventions of the Arcanist Empire, lost for thousands of years, and the fourth greatest invention after Sky City, Dimensional Teleportation, and Mana Crystal Energy.
Hearing this, Edvena, Horton and the others were overjoyed and began to circle around the teleportation array, and the two masters and apprentices of Messer even walked onto the teleportation platform, intending to observe the array above in person.
However, the fourth great invention of the Arcanist Empire was really not so easy to understand, and Donald only invested in observing it for a few seconds, and then he felt dizzy and had to withdraw his mental power from this incomparably complex formation.
Fortunately, he still had the Book of Truth, a cheating device against the sky, and while rubbing his temples to relieve the fatigue of mental exhaustion, Donald quietly ordered the Book of Truth to copy and analyze this teleportation array.
Seeing that his teacher was still immersed in the state of analyzing the array diagram, he said to Edvina and the others under the platform:
"According to the previous agreement, all the magic circles here must belong to me!"
Seeing the two silver mages' faces change, Donald said again: "Of course, the two masters can also make a copy and go back and study it slowly." ”
Hearing this, Horton's face softened, after all, the value of the teleportation array can be said to be more than the two secondary artifacts that were discovered just now, although they know that even if their family gets the array map, they may not be able to copy the real teleportation array, but the value of the array map alone can already become a precious family inheritance.
While Donald and the others were talking, the inquisitive Miss Emily actually touched the strange building in front of the teleportation array alone.
It was a stone platform made entirely of black stone, which in Donald's eyes resembled the podium in a school in his previous life. There were several crystals inserted on the table, and there was an empty seat in the center, and the aristocratic lady picked up a prismatic crystal pillar that was placed upside down on it with interest.
"Don't move!" Donald, whose eyes swept over the corner of his eye, immediately shouted in shock.
But Donald was obviously a step too late, Emily had already inserted the hedron into the groove, and the stone platform was touched, and all the crystals on it lit up. At the same time, the array on the teleportation platform was instantly lit up as if it had also been connected to the power supply, and seeing that the teacher was still on the stage and did not react, Donald sighed and did not leave the teacher, but chose to stay in place.
Before the light of the teleportation array could fade, two more figures broke into the platform, and the four of them disappeared into the temple together.
