Chapter 233: Sapphire, Mithriol
Buildings decay and forests have longevity, but rare metals such as adamantite gold and mythril are difficult to decay, and it would be even better if you could find any more ancient artifacts.
The excavation of the ruins is not an easy job, but fortunately, this is not on the earth, there are so many precautions, what Xia Duo wants is to find something valuable, as for the protection of the ruins, then he doesn't care so much.
As usual, magic alarms were set up around the camp, and the work arrangements of Zhongrao were explained, so Xia Duo was relieved to go to archaeology.
Coming to the vicinity of the Lost Lock, Xia Duo first checked around, where he did not set up a magic alarm, but put some thin branches and fallen leaves pressed with stones in some places where the terrain was relatively flat and convenient for people or animals to pass through.
If a person or animal passes by, it can be detected in time, and if a magic alarm is placed, it may be more obvious and uncertain in the eyes of the caster.
Upon examination, nothing unusual was found, and there was not even a trace of animals here, and Sakura entered the locks through the severed tree, and although he had passed through them many times, he sighed every time he passed - more magical than the portal of the Tower of Time!
The portal of the Tower of Time, or the teleportation of the mage, there will be some movement: the effect on the magic web, and the reaction of the magic web.
Although Xia Duo still doesn't understand, at least he can see some appearances. Here, on the other hand, there is almost no sense of entry and exit, as if there is no change in the space, and the transition is very smooth.
The principle of the mystery lock Xia Duo is very clear, it is nothing more than the control of the magic net, but when it comes to how to control it and why it is controlled like this, he is completely blind.
This thing is not something he wants to study for the time being. Entering through the roots of the trees, entering the ruins is the same every time, next to the same crumbling, decaying stone wall.
Xia Duo speculated that this might be something like a teleportation room or an elevator exit, but it could also be just because of the loophole in the lock, which was very ordinary.
But one way or another, he had already decided to place the first search target in the ruins of the building here. β¦β¦ Without magic, or even the tools at hand, digging up the ruins can be a hassle!
Fortunately, most of the ruins here are on the surface at a glance, otherwise it would be really too difficult.
I don't know how many years this ruins have existed, the stone walls have been sparse, Xia Duo used a shield as a shovel to shovel away the covering soil and decay, and then used a sword as a metal detector to slash through it one by one.
If you encounter a hard object, you can pick it out and look at it, and if you don't have it, you can just plan the grid first, and then search it one by one, just like you are looking for a key in the room.
After a whole day, he also searched an area of less than 40 square meters, looking at the ruins of this football field, Xia Duo was a little numb.
It won't take months to search them all! But looking at this whole harvest, Xia Duo is full of enthusiasm again, isn't it just a matter of a few months!
That's it! Today's harvest alone is more than a dozen gems, and almost any gem in the wizarding world is a collection of elements, full of energy.
For example, rubies are a collection of fire elements, and the caster can channel the energy in them, whether it is used to cast spells or link magic nets, it has a wide range of applications.
The former can be made into magic wands and other spell-casting instruments, while the latter is more commonly seen in magic circles and scrolls. The ink required to craft a high-grade magic scroll almost certainly contains gemstone powder that is delicate but still retains its elemental form.
In addition, many gemstones, even if they are not additionally processed, have a very special role in themselves, and Xia Duo does not know much about this, the only thing he knows is white crystal.
Just holding it in your hand provides the caster with a blessing of concentration. Of course, such a good thing is naturally worth a lot of money, and the value of any gemstone exceeds the same volume of gold, and the most expensive can even exceed dozens of times that of the same volume of Mithril.
The more than a dozen gems that Xia Duo searched for from the ruins were all sapphires, larger than his eyes, and only the size of his fingertips.
It is roughly estimated that it can be worth thousands of gold coins, of course, it is the best policy to sell it directly, and the best way is to sell it as a magic item, then this price is not useful
"thousand" to calculate. At least both
"Ten thousand". And for this batch of gems of Xia Duo, there is another way, that is, to make jewelry, these gems are components of the same jewelry, but their fixed parts can not withstand the destruction of time, and have long been decayed.
If it can be repaired, it may be worth more than selling magic items. However, for the time being, these things will not see the light of day, so they can only entertain themselves.
In addition to these gems, Xia Duo also found a mythril jewelry in the shape of a flower, which was not a magic item, but a normal item made of mythril.
This thing has passed through the ages, and when it was discovered by Xia Duo, it still maintained a silvery-white luster.
Judging by the value of Mithril alone, this thing is not worth much. But it can't stand the processing of the elves, and it has become a work of art, and it is timeless, very collectible, and those who like it may like it very much, and for Xia Duolai, that's it.
Of course, again, this thing will not see the light of day for the time being.
"Alasβ" Xia Duo sighed, but then couldn't help but laugh out loud, he was just cheap and good, but after thinking about it, the value of this relic was so great, he felt that these treasures were a little hot.
"We have to think of a safe way!" β¦β¦ Back at the camp, Xia Duo threw more than a dozen sapphires and the mythril flower into the Wolfburg River, and compared to the camp or any other place, the water was his home field.
Anyway, you don't have to worry about being damaged by the blister, it is safer to throw it in the river, and you can use it at any time when you need it.
Second, Xia Duo calculated the time and did not go to the archaeology in the mystery lock again, because
The "Owen" is almost coming. If nothing else, there should be a lot of people on this trip, and if he is not there, it will be a hassle to hand over.
Just after noon, Georgie ran over with a shout,
"The ship is coming, my lord, the Lucky Owen is here!"
"So early!" Shado lifted the curtain and stepped out of the tent. It stands to reason that he departed from Savile Town early in the morning, and it should be in the afternoon to get here, but now that the ship has arrived early, he can't help but ask again: "Qiaoqi, have you seen clearly?" β
"It's true! I saw them sailing, with the Darao badge on them! "Georgie is sure to be authentic. The emblem of Chateau is an earthly script
"Xia" plus a circle on the periphery, this is also the emblem of the Great Xia Collar, and the first thing Qiao Qi and others received training in the port warehouse was to remember to find an emblem.
Xia Duo didn't suspect that Qiao Qi was lying, but since he saw the emblem, it must be
"Lucky Owen" is here, and it's open! Zhang Fan? Xia Duo understood, walked quickly to the water's edge, and sure enough, he felt a breeze blowing from the north, and saw it
The Lucky Owen was breaking through the water, and the oars on both sides were paddling. In the morning, Xia Duo also deliberately looked at the direction of the wind, and it was indeed a south wind, but he didn't expect it to turn to a north wind now.
With the wind and the water going smoothly, and with the crew's hard work, it's no wonder that it's several hours ahead of normal.
