The metal rod is easy to use and easy to operate. Alexey found that in addition to the fact that the pole did not fit the shape of his palm, it was indeed specially designed for contactless reading of paper books.

Gently clamp the end of the rod with your elbow, and then use the U-shaped rod head to cut into the pages of the book, and with a little force, the title page of the book will be easily opened.

"Wait......"

The moment he saw the page, his eyes reflected not words, but an empty sandy field.

"This is ......"

Alexei took two steps forward, and in the soft sand, the footprints were sunken, and a bright sun hung high in the sky beyond the dome, releasing his own fiery fire tirelessly. The earth was roasted and dry, and a few weeds were hanging on the ruins by the roadside, and he picked two pieces of gravel at random, and with a light pinch, they turned into powder.

"It's going to be over 50 degrees. ”

Alexei looked into the distance again, behind the sand dunes one after another, it was difficult to see a single star of greenery, occasionally dead branches and leaves, and half-exposed beast bones on the desert, just like the southern desert that the mage had been to. Dry, hot, every life that steps into it is struggling with lingering thirst and heat, which is really a forbidden area of life.

However, what is a dangerous zone of forbidden areas for ordinary people is nothing for mages.

A skilled mage can use magic to lock in the water on the surface of the body, and the powerful one can keep the temperature of his surroundings constant at all times.

As long as there is magic, the mage can do anything.

Alexei, recovering from his loss, shook his hands and clenched them into fists. The air here is almost twice as powerful as the original world, and despite the harsh climate, the elemental desert is Alex's true place to live.

"I'm back. ”

He raised his hand to gather the scarce water elemental in the air into an ice spear, held it in his hand, felt the refreshing coldness of his skin, and smiled.

In the past, he would not have made a condensation ice gun in the desert, which was almost a luxury of wasting mana, but after being suppressed for a long time, there was always a time to release.

Lost demons, addicted to demons.

Alexei's soul was not adulterated with the masochistic factor, and he didn't want to go through it again.

So, before he returns to the Iron House, Alexside nips nip in the bud all the hidden dangers that could lead him back into his misadventure!

Even if he won't go back, he has to plan ahead.

Therefore, although the mana reserves in his body were steadily rising, Alexei, who felt more and more urgency in his heart, decided to find some simple and common materials in the sand first, and make a staff that was convenient for storing demons.

If it is not too heavy, it is possible to use either wood or stone for the body of the staff. The ruins around him were apparently a city that had existed in the sand sea in the past, and Alexei walked a little way before he saw a few wind-eroded stone pillars. Most of the pillars were broken into several pieces, and only a little bit of the past was revealed under the burial of the sand.

Alexei wiped away the quicksand from the surface of the pillars, and some of the reliefs that had been brewing for a long time were revealed, a bird with wings, its head and pillar severed, except for half of its wings, and each feather on the wings was so carefully carved that it was still lifelike even after millions of years.

"I don't know what happened to you, but hopefully the same tragedy won't happen in my world. ”

Alexei looked down at the outline of the text on the edge of the relief and frowned secretly, and he used his magic to sweep away the sand that had buried the pillars, reaching the stone base two meters below.

He dug up part of the pillar and brought it back to light with a human remains.

The ribs and skull of the skeleton remained, but the part below the waist was missing, and only a small part of the shoulder blade remained in both arms. Before he died, he was tightly tied to the stone pillar by a chain, the material of the chain was all Mithril, Alexei couldn't help but be frightened, and reached out to pull up a paragraph, even the Mithril, which is known for its durability, has also been worn out by sandstorms and time, and there is no rune left on it, but according to the residual magic reaction on the silver chain, it should be a rune that gives durability and protection.

Durability and protection?

Alexey's eyes were full of thought.

Do you need durability and protection against prisoners, or are the chains meant to keep the remains safe?

Curious, Alexei crouched down and removed the bones from the pillars, and leveled the pillars and skeletons one by one. There are no signs of damage to the surface of the incomplete skeleton, and it appears that he did not die from the impact of blunt objects or spells, and he was not harassed by wild beasts after his death.

He watched carefully section by paragraph, and finally let him discover a trace of the mystery of the skeleton. The inside of the skeleton's skull is covered with Imperial script, from the skull to the two jaws, and even the thirty-two neat in the mouth, and the back of the stone-hardened teeth are also tattooed with small Imperial characters.

The font is so small that it can't be read clearly without using clarity.

Alexei didn't want to waste the magic he had just recovered here, the cost of clarity was too much.

He turned to see the handwriting on the stone pillars, which were carved with a stone knife, similar to the relief, and must have been the work of the same craftsman. The font is carved beautifully, it is a pleasing flower, and the handwriting itself is an art.

"Be careful...... Grass and Wood Snake ......"

Alexei touched the pit of the text eroded by the wind and sand, and discerned its contents with his hand and eyes: "Otherworldly...... The Book of Whispers...... Abhor... The earth sinks... Disintegrating skies... Only the Eagle Lord...... It is for the savior. ”

It's a prophecy. ”

Alexei left with some disappointment: "The lies of the ancients. ”

"Still, I can imagine their rich lives before the end of the day. ”

Buildings made of stone were not habitable by ordinary people, and they were either rich or noble. Obviously, this handwriting will not come from an unknown craftsman who can afford to hire a master craftsman to build a house for himself, and the person depicting the carving will never be an ordinary citizen of ordinary status, which means that there are more treasures waiting to be discovered under the sand.

Realizing this, Alexey raised his skull high and tied a silver chain around his waist and continued to survey the ruins. The ubiquitous magic in the air made his excavation progress very fast, and a few dozen meters below the sand layer, where he stood, where he used to stand, was a large palace, with a wide staircase, and a seat with gold inlays, a few broken bones fell next to the seat, and a necklace of rubies lay quietly in the sand, and next to it were several rings that were also embedded with precious stones.

Alexei didn't wait long, he hastily identified it, then pocketed a few of the most conspicuous belongings, and then flew out of the pit, allowing the yellow sand to re-bury the relics that had not seen the light of day for thousands of years.

"I always felt that the layout of the palace was a little familiar. ”

Alexei stood still in the sand, his index finger nodding his forehead, but he couldn't remember where he had seen anything similar to the palace.

"Forget it. ”

Holding the treasure in his hand, he is already satisfied.

At this moment, the materials were ready, and Alexei's experience in making magic props was needless to say, and he was able to fuse the Mithril gem and gold with the stone very quickly, and it took no more than fifteen minutes.

Naturally, nothing good will be produced in such a short period of time.

The staff, which is based on stones and fills the gaps with Mithril, is a heavy staff that melts gems and gold into a grip, and is as heavy as a warrior's hammer, and it only takes two swings to make people so sour that they can't even lift their arms.

But there are heavy benefits, Alexei did take into account the environment of the lost demon, and he specially made the tail of the wand into a spherical hammer head to facilitate hand-to-hand combat in the lost area. The head of the staff has three claw-like buckles, which are just suitable for the volume of the Heavenly Sphere, which can be firmly stuck at the top of the staff, overall, it is not ugly, it can only be said that there are no characteristics, except for the exquisite materials, the appearance is very similar to the apprentice staff in the bazaar.

Holding the staff about forty centimeters long in his hand, he was generally satisfied, although the final appearance of the staff was mediocre, but it was only used for emergency use, and it could be changed later when he had time, so there was no need to rush it.

Now that everything was in place, Alexey, who had been fully equipped with magic for his staff in the sand, no longer feared being sent back to the iron house, so he used clarity to attach it to his eyes and carefully looked inside the skull.
