Chapter 123: Spider Palace
20 warriors held torches and kept burning the spider silk in the spider palace, their task was to completely clear the place, while the other ten warriors carefully tied up the body of the human-faced spider queen with ropes, and then used all kinds of methods to get it out, the priest Rochel followed behind these people, and as soon as he saw that someone's face was a little wrong, he immediately blessed him with detoxification to help him dispel the toxins in his body.
More and more open space has been cleared in the spider palace, and it is naturally much faster to get things done when there are enough people, and Moses is holding a torch and loudly directing his men to do things, and his eyes still come to mind from time to time The shocking scenes that Ryan brought him hours ago still appeared.
"My lord, there is a discovery!" "For fear of poisoning, all the warriors who entered the Spider Palace covered their mouths and noses with towels, so the voice of this warrior was also urn-like.
"Oh?" said Moses, who immediately walked over with his torch raised, and looked in the direction of his men, and saw a faint light among the mutilated corpses on the ground. Moses' heart moved, he waved his hand to ask everyone to speed up, and soon the surrounding spider silk and corpse remains were cleaned up, Moses pulled out his long sword, flicked it through the debris on the ground, and picked out the glowing thing he had just seen.
"Ahh
"Lord Fabia, there is a harvest, please see. Moses placed the cloth on the ground and said to Ryan, who was telling Barbara about magic, "It seems to be a gem, but I can't tell if there's spider venom stuck to it, so ......"
Hearing this, Ryan stopped teaching, and with a wave of his left hand, a flame burned the cloth on the ground, and the flames danced happily, and soon burned the debris to the ground dry and quiet, and the heat of the flame for several minutes burned it, even if there was any mess on it, it was absolutely burned clean, and the real gem would not be burned by this level of flames.
When the flames were extinguished, Ryan reached out and picked up the black gadget, Barbara hurriedly took out his towel, Ryan used Barbara's towel to wipe the things on his hands, and a faint purple appeared in front of everyone.
"It's beautiful!" Moses couldn't help but admire, Ryan carefully looked at the gem in his hand, it was different from the forest jade or the sea jade, its surface was not that round and smooth, but composed of many facets, Ryan looked down and pondered for a while, thinking that this should be an amethyst, but he didn't bring the book that Blair gave him, and there was no way to check it on the spot.
Ryan's mood had a faint hint of anticipation, this kind of amethyst is rare but unloved among all kinds of gemstones, because it contains arcane energy, the origin power of magicians. Ordinary magicians naturally give up their specialization in arcane energy after mastering the power of manipulation of the elements, such as a magician who is proficient in flames, and can release a fireball with the mana that consumes three magic missiles, and it is obvious that the power of the latter is incomparable to the former.
And this amethyst is not naturally formed, it is said that it was made by a powerful god during the war between gods and demons, and in that long battle, any believer who belonged to that god, as long as he had such a piece of amethyst, could quickly become a magician with the help of its power.
Of course, this is just a legend, and there is no magic book or magician who can confirm its existence, and Ryan does not intend to explore whether this legend is true or not, the reason why he has expectations for this amethyst is that Ryan can use this amethyst to make a magic ornament, the biggest effect of this magic ornament is to continuously provide the user with arcane energy, this thing is useless for senior magicians, but for beginners like Barbara, it is equivalent to a holy relic.
"Well, if this is really an amethyst, I don't think we've come for nothing this time. With a smile on his face, Ryan said to Moses, "Good work, speed up the search, hopefully we can clear this place before dark, and if possible, we should go back to the camp outside the swamp for the night." ”
Ryan's words irritated everyone present, and after a busy day in the damn swamp, everyone wanted to sleep in the dry ground and have a good night's rest, so they spontaneously accelerated their search. After a while, another thing was found.
In front of Ryan was a very ordinary-looking piece of armor, covered in messy dirt, and I am afraid that no one would intend to wear it. However, the reason why Moses took it out alone was because although the armor was ordinary in appearance, there was no sign of damage to it.
After a period of time in the damp spider palace and the corpse, even the armor made of stainless steel would slowly corrod, and Moses and his warriors had found more than a dozen pairs of this damaged armor in those spider silk wraps, and some of the armor was still worn on the mutilated corpses, even those who knew nothing about armor forging and repairing could tell that such armor had been scrapped.
However, the ordinary armor was no different from the armor sold in the blacksmith's shop, and more importantly, the armor was at the bottom of the spider silk wrap, indicating that its owner should have been killed here first. It has survived for the longest time, but the appearance has been preserved the best, which is enough to prove that this armor is different.
Ryan still used the old method, using a fireball to clean the surface of the armor, and when the heat wore off, Ryan and Moses crouched down together to carefully identify the armor. The appearance of the armor is very ordinary, the color is brighter than ordinary steel armor, and its weight is far lighter than the armor forged from steel, and Ryan can pick it up with one hand, as if he were holding a piece of leather armor.
Ryan was very strange about this phenomenon, he searched repeatedly, but did not find any magic array on the armor, obviously this armor did not rely on magic to preserve until now.
While Ryan pondered how well the armor had been preserved, Moses found a mark on the left chest of the armor, which was a brightly colored fleur-de-lis. Ryan looked at the iris in detail, but for a moment he couldn't remember what it meant.
"My lord, I have found it again!" several warriors cried excitedly in another corner of the Spider Palace. Spiders may look ugly on the outside, but they also have a certain cleanliness fetish: spiders have a clear separation of food, rest, and excretion, and you can't go wrong. The place where the amethyst and this suit of armor were found was supposed to be where the spiders stored their food, and where the excited warriors were located was the garbage area of the entire spider palace.
Ryan dropped the armor and walked over with Moses and Barbara, and the warriors found a lot of valuable things in the garbage, a lot of gold coins, and some small gems that were not very precious, and the valuable things that were basically lost on the mercenaries who died here were all thrown here. It's ironic that jewelry and gold coins, which are quite valuable in the human world, are useless garbage in the spider world.
The warriors were all overjoyed, for Ryan had promised them before setting out that those who participated would get an equal share of the final gain, which was definitely a lot of money. Ryan stood aside and watched for a while, but he didn't see anything particularly good, so Ryan returned to the armor with some disappointment.
After about half an hour, Moses dragged a big bag towards Ryan's side, and the first thing he said when he came to Ryan's side was: "There are really a lot of things, I roughly counted them, and I actually found thousands of gold coins, but unfortunately these gold coins have been worn out for a long time, and the surface is a little worn, I don't know if they will be spent." ”
Moses' words suddenly made Ryan's eyes light up, Ryan slapped his face violently, and shouted excitedly: "I see, it's Mithril, that armor is all made of Mithril!That's why it's so light, that's why it's so hard and wear-resistant!"
Moses was startled, of course he knew how expensive Mithril was, but the armor in front of him was actually forged from Mithril, how many gold coins would it cost, where was this armor, it was simply wearing gold coins.
Ryan took out the tools for drawing the magic array from his storage pocket, and gently made a small experiment on the surface of the armor to confirm his conjecture, Ryan put the things away, and said with some excitement: "This is a good thing, it's a pity that it's too extravagant, or can I melt it and mix it with a lot of steel to make more armor?" Or can I draw the magic circle directly on it to greatly increase its defensive performance?" Alas, this is really a dilemma, it would be nice to find a few more sets of such armor!"
Ryan's wish was not fulfilled in the end, his warriors cleaned up the entire spider palace, and found nothing of value, Moses found a stone door to the deeper part of the earth, but unfortunately when Ryan forcibly opened it with magic, he found that the back was full of huge stones, completely blocked.
When night slowly fell, Ryan returned with his men full of loads, and the Adams and others who stayed behind saw that the huge human-faced spider queen was easily killed, and his own losses were just a sneak attack and killed a warrior by surprise.
The corpse of the Human-Faced Spider Queen was insisted on by Moses because he planned to use it to complete the bounty mission in Seabreeze City, which was something that would make the Sword and Rose Mercenary Group show its face, and Ryan considered that this kind of sensational thing could greatly increase the fear of outsiders towards Cassano and make those with ulterior motives taboo, so he agreed to Moses' request.
