……

Drowning is, of course, an exaggeration.

But when the things that came from the cracks poured out, there was a lot of gold and miscellaneous things on the ground.

Matthew lost a detection spell and estimated it with the naked eye.

The gold coins here are about 200,000.

The gold coins are all small gold coins issued by the Alliance, this kind of gold coin is actually not very heavy, it is actually only a layer of gold mixed with other metals on the surface, and the inside is hollow.

You can judge the quality of a small gold coin by gently flicking the echo produced by the surface of the coin.

Theoretically, the value of this alliance should be much lower than the normal amount of pure gold coins.

However, in the continent of Eindo, at least in the south, this small gold coin travels as unhindered as a pure gold coin.

Because what it represents behind it is the credibility and authority of the Seven Holy Alliance.

So even if these little gold coins look very plastic, it doesn't stop Matthew from liking them at all.

The only regret.

According to the principle that those who see have a share, he and Rhaegar should be one and a half.

Think so.

Matthew's heart seemed to be dripping blood, and before he knew it, the eyes that looked at Rhaegar became unkind.

However, Regar didn't notice this at all.

He excitedly circled the pile twice.

Then he raised a handful of gold coins and sprinkled them on the ground.

Rhaegar happily said to Matthew:

"I take back what I just said, this Miss Zombie is simply our lucky girl, next time something like this, please make sure to let her take action."

"It just so happens that Seve is almost up to her bar mitzvah, and this money can be used as pocket money for her, and his father got it through a difficult adventure, so this gift must be especially meaningful to her."

As soon as I heard this.

Matthew's eyes softened suddenly.

He didn't mean anything else.

I feel that this kind of relationship between father and daughter is very warm.

Next is the time to count the props.

Spencer left behind a lot of things, most of them were magic materials, magic scrolls, and some strange items.

Matthew quickly sifted through them and found a few high-value magic items.

The first was a purple metal-wrapped pendant that he hung on his chest and stored close to his body.

The metal shell of the pendant was so large that it almost caught up with Matthew's palm.

Through the hollow gap in the metal shell, Matthew could see that there was a yellow gemstone inside.

Clearly, this gem was the Haste gem that Spencer had stolen from the Alliance's vaults.

It is said to break the limit on the number of spells cast per day, quickly refreshing the cooldown, and allowing a mage to cast large amounts of spells multiple times in a day.

Of course, this does not come without a price.

According to the news that Rhaegar saw, Spencer and the others had developed a spell-casting addiction.

For the mage, this symptom is very fatal, and even if Matthew doesn't kill him, he is actually not far from death.

As a result, the Haste Gem is a forbidden item by the Alliance, and can usually only be borrowed by mages who have applied for it and received permission.

Matthew held the pendant in his hand and looked at it closely, and found that there was a secret lock on it.

This secret lock is very profound, the keyhole is a coffee-colored gem, and there is a large amount of milk-colored liquid flowing in the gem, Matthew takes a slight look, and he feels that his body is sucked into a milky white vortex.

He hurriedly looked away.

But despite this, he still felt that the green tendons on his forehead were jumping and jumping, which was a manifestation of a large amount of spiritual power being consumed.

"It's the alliance's secret lock, the level is very high, it takes at least a fifth-order mage to be able to decipher, once this illusion above is trapped, it may not be able to slow down for ten days and half a month."

Matthew put away the purple pendant with trepidation.

It seems that although Spencer stole the Haste Gem, he didn't have time to use it, and I don't know what he thought at the time, so he defected to the Alliance for something that he couldn't use for a while.

There must be a reason for this.

It's a pity that Spencer is too serious and doesn't keep a diary, and Matthew can't get a picture of the whole story.

About Arcane Locks and Haste Gems.

Matthew is going to study on his own for a while, but he really can't find a mage in the alliance to go into the water in the name, and it's not impossible to simply return it, so he has to test whether the alliance is willing to increase the reward for the wanted warrant.

Next were three things that had been taken from Spencer's corpse.

……

"Hardshell Robe: Under normal condition, it appears as an ordinary robe, providing 1 armor point and a small amount of stamina regeneration.

When active or in danger to the caster, the Hardshell Robe will swell violently, forming a ball that will protect all but the head.

At this point, the Hardshell Robe provides 13 armor (equivalent to heavy armor level defense).

Note: Why don't you protect your head? Because the mage who placed the order didn't give enough money, it's as simple as that.

- A well-known alliance alchemist"

……

"Dragonskin Belt: Strength +1; Slowly increases mana recovery rate;

In particular, the dragon skin belt can greatly enhance the strength of the waist and abdomen.

Note: Originally, I made this belt just to win a sit-up competition.

Unexpectedly, it made me a generation of duck kings in the famous city of flowers.

- A well-known alliance alchemist"

……

"Fairy Necklace: Charm +1; slightly increases the success rate of divination.

When you wear this necklace, your mood can easily become extremely optimistic.

For everything in the future, you feel that your wish will come true.

This optimism will infect the people around you to a certain extent, making you more attractive and more likely to succeed.

Note: It is suitable for people in desperate situations, for example, now me, a few days ago I lost my family because of gambling, after wearing this necklace I immediately became optimistic, so I found a necromancer to sell his body, with the corpse deposit in hand to walk into the casino again, this time I will be able to turn over, definitely.

- well-known does not have"

……

Each of these three pieces of magical equipment has its own merits.

Don't look at the hard-shell robe, it can't protect the head, but the armor up to thirteen points and the usual light clothing are enough to make I don't know how many soldiers cry silently.

To put it on, all you need to do is add another piece of magic armor from the neck up.

Needless to say, the dragon skin belt is a prop worth wearing.

Only the fairy necklace, Matthew frowned.

While the increase in charisma and the success rate of prophecy spells are also excellent, overly optimistic sentiment can often lead to a rollover.

He categorized the necklace as "an item that might come in handy under certain circumstances" and tossed it into the spare compartment of the Mystic Bag.

Compared to its attributes, Matthew was more curious about the alchemist who left the note.

Being able to make three magic props of this level at the same time, the level of that alchemist naturally goes without saying.

Just looking at the tone on the note, the dragon skin belt and the fairy necklace were all used by himself, but now they are in Spencer's hands.

Matthew guessed that he might not end well.

And among all the magic items.

Lately, Matthew has been excited about a crystal clear skull.

It was also the most valuable thing on Spencer.

……

"The Skull of Augustus (Necromancer's Exclusive Weapon/Fifth Tier Spellcasting Medium): After the great necromancer Augustus became a lich, he trained his head into a weapon, which has been tempered for a long time and has lost a lot of spirituality, but it is still a necromancer's weapon.

Base Effect: Every 30 seconds, you can control Augustus' Skull to fire a ball of undead fire or a negative energy missile (no cost) at a target within 30 meters.

Attributes: Intelligence +1/Perception +1/Spell Channel Speed below Legend +100%

Enchantment –

1. Necromancy's Wrath: The effect of Necromantic Realm spells has been greatly increased

2. Double Cast: When you cast a negative energy-related spell, there will be a 50% chance that the double cast effect will appear.

3. Lich Soul: This skull contains a handful of Augustus' souls, and you can ask him three questions a week, but he won't necessarily answer you head-on.

4. Frozen Thousand Miles (Legendary Spells/Downgrades): Every month, you can activate the legendary spell "Frozen Thousand Miles" once, and the channeling time is shortened to 6 seconds. Due to the retreat of the spirit, the spell effect is reduced to 5 tiers.

5. Feeding (Passive Effect): You can feed food into Augustus' Skull, and different foods will bring different passive effects.

During this time, it will wrap around you, blocking a small number of stray arrows and providing you with different buffs.

Requirements: Fourth-Order Necromancer or a third-Order Necromancer who has mastered the relevant magical field.

How to use: Tone."

……

Without a doubt, this is the ultimate weapon for a necromancer!

It can be a perfect substitute for a staff or spellbook.

Matthew had been hungry for such a weapon for too long.

He'd seen similar items in the Alliance Mall, but the prices were ridiculously high.

As a non-consumable magic weapon, even if it is a fifth order, the price is more expensive than the legendary items that Matthew has seen as consumables.

Matthew even speculated that this Augustan skull was the root cause of the Alliance's eagerness to arrest Spencer.

He felt a strong aura of necromantic magic from above his skull.

It's a pity.

The current Matthew is not qualified to be in tune with the Skull of Augustus.

His level was only the third order, and he had not mastered the realm of necromancy for the time being.

It's strange to say.

It stands to reason that Matthew also often uses necromancy, and he must have accumulated a lot of related elements, but he has never mastered the field of necromancy.

On the contrary, the transformation spell that has just been practiced for a short time recently has been successfully broken.

This inevitably made Matthew wonder.

"Is it Rhaegard's problem?"

Unfortunately, this speculation could not be tested.

After all, Rhaegar is still alive and well.

He can't just think about how to turn him into a black knight right now, right?

That's inhumane.

……

At the moment, the two quickly divided the spoils, and Rhaegar still had the style of the lord's eldest brother.

He claimed that he didn't contribute much, only half of the gold coins, and nothing else was touched.

Matthew fully demonstrated the temperament of the goose plucking.

Not only did he put Spencer's body in a body bag for Renysme to carry, but he also picked and picked up the corpses of the wilted that worked.

After that, the two of them checked the situation on the platform again, and after making sure that nothing was missing, they walked up the stairs to the upper floor.

As Matthew had seen earlier, the Cloud Lodge was spindle-shaped, with the third-to-last floor being the middle floor.

Further up, there is a slightly narrower platform.

The difference is that there are some dead trees planted here, and their forms are very similar to the ominous tree underneath.

Matthew guessed it was a blighter's ritual.

These should be the stronger ones among the trees that they plundered their lives.

He felt the smell of ruin from the trees.

Even if it's right next to them.

He also seemed to feel that his life was passing a little faster.

This is the origin of the ceremonial field of the Winter of Everything.

Through this ritual, the withered use the hot and humid snowflakes as a medium to spread the power of withering, restlessness, and destruction.

They instigate all life to self-destruct and wither rapidly, in order to draw on the power of nature, and to maintain and even enhance their own power.

All things will eventually wither, so that others will wither sooner, and because you are the spokesperson of withering, you can wither later.

This is the doctrine of the Blight Order.

Matthew and Rhaegar quickly destroy the trees here.

The ceremonial arena was shattered.

……

"Hint: You destroyed the Blighter's ritual field, Winter of Everything, and you gain an additional 100 Enhancement XP!"

……

"It is always easier to destroy than to create and maintain."

Feel the collapse of the ceremonial arena.

Matthew sighed in his heart.

The buildings on this level are identical to those below, except for the camps built by the Blighters themselves, which are treehouses or mud structures left behind by cloud elves.

Far from being beautiful, these buildings are closely arranged on top of the aerial platform, and have a sense of independence of their own.

Ultimately.

The two came to the top.

There was a spiky tree tower, and to the east of the tree tower, a huge tent had been erected, and the tent was surrounded by spell traps, which were supposed to be Spencer's belongings.

Matthew and Bing spent a lot of effort to carve out a path through the trap.

They walked into the tent.

There is a hammock, and the space behind the hammock is isolated from each other, and the sound of chirping can be faintly heard inside.

Rhaegar stepped forward and lifted the curtain, but saw that the room was full of animal cages, and more than thirty frogman hatchlings were crying uneasily.

There is also a laboratory bench in the middle.

Next to the test table are the corpses of two frogman juveniles.

There is also a severed heart on the board on the table.

and a purple-covered experiment log.

Matthew frowned and opened the experiment log, there was not much text in it, he casually glanced at it.

……

"I heard that before the ascension of Tianlun Palace, the Frogmen were the family of a god who ruled the time realm.

Therefore, the royal family of the frogmen has a lifespan comparable to that of the Wood Elves.

Unlike other races, the royal blood of the Frogmen is evenly distributed throughout each larvae.

As they grow up, they all have the potential to awaken the royal bloodline and become a golden-skinned upper caste.

The above information is from the Alliance Library.

I think it's all.

I cut three juveniles today, and even in their hearts, I didn't find a drop of blood belonging to the royal family.

It can be seen that the alliance itself is."

……

"It's foolish to work with the Blight.

These people are poor and smelly.

A character like Kunna, even if it was given to me before the change, I wouldn't have it.

But since leaving the league, such opportunities have become rare.

I had to take every opportunity to vent.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain my urge to cast spells again.

Damn, it's so itchy, I want to cast a spell, even if I throw a tongue of fire!

It turns out that the blighters are willing to help me steal frogmen's cubs because they hope that by doing so, they will make the frogmen angry and cause them to fall into the realm of wilting.

What a bunch of maniacs.

What's so good in the blight field!

I decided that no matter how much Kunna tempted me, I would reject her tonight."

……

"I couldn't say no to Quinna.

Because the urge to cast spells is getting worse and worse.

I could feel it gnawing at my bones.

That's not an illusion.

Hearteaters are real.

I'm running out of time.

I have to do enough for that adult.

will have a chance to get a glimmer of life.

Damn, ordinary frogmen can't do it at all, I want the blood of the real mad frogman royal family!"

……

"I played some new tricks with Kunna today.

Now the butt hurts a little.

You have to tell the kitchen to put less chili peppers.

Ay.

Low back pain too.

Fortunately, today's cast impulse symptoms have been greatly reduced.

I'll have the energy to cut a few more frogman cubs, and I'll be able to speed up the pace of the secret door decipherment.

Missed the Union.

When I'm done deciphering the secret door, maybe I'll go back and turn myself in.

Even staying in the prison of Hesuo Mountain is better than staying in this hellish place.

Well, that's it."

……

After reading it, Matthew's expression was a little rich.

Unexpectedly, although this guy didn't keep a diary, he wrote what was in his heart on the experiment log.

There's not much in the journal about the experiment.

The whining was a bunch of complaints.

Pity.

Spencer had no chance of turning himself in.

When Matthew and Rhaegar assemble, they decide to notify the Frogman tribe to rescue their children.

Matthew left the matter to Rhaegar to handle.

The Frogman has always had a lot of respect for the Alliance Mage, and Matthew will not benefit more from coming forward in person.

But if it's Rhaegar, then it means that there will be more friendships between Rolling Stone and the Frogman tribe.

Anyway, it's a favor, and Matthew is naturally happy to send it.

At the moment, the two soldiers were divided into two ways.

Rhaegar goes down to find the frogman's village.

Matthew came to the tree tower outside the tent.

At the center of the tree tower is the secret door mentioned by Spencer in his experiment log.

Matthew walked over.

He put his hands on the secret door.

……

"Hint: You've found a portal to the ruins of the clouds (deprecated/encrypted)!

Did you try to decipher?"

……
