Chapter Twenty-Three: Return to Mondstadt
Depending on their strength, the Relic Guardian can find three useful materials: the Chaos Device, the Chaos Circuit, and the Chaos Hearth.
The strength of these relic guards is not very high, and they can only take out a chaos device from their bodies.
Like the Slime Condensate, the Chaos Device can be used as an alchemy enhancement weapon, and although it is essentially a mechanical creation, it contains special energy and is considered a rare material.
After packing up the spoils, Li Qiu glanced at Noelle and Weier and said:
"Let's go, let's see what's going on inside the ruins."
"Hmm."
The two nodded slightly, also full of curiosity about the unknown ruins.
Soon, the three of them walked into the dark passage where the ruins guarded it, and the stone walls were covered with moss, giving the impression of a long history.
Durable hunting shoes, lightweight women's booties, over-the-knee armored boots, only these three different footsteps echo gently in the quiet passageway.
Maybe the surrounding environment was too quiet, and Li Qiuzhi and they subconsciously didn't talk to break the atmosphere.
This ruin passage seems to have been newly excavated by the Treasure Hoarders, and no one has discovered it before, so I have to say that they are really lucky.
After walking for almost a few tens of meters, the three of them came to a relatively open space, surrounded by many traces of the ruin guards that had been parked when they were not activated, and the five ruin guards outside may have gone out from here.
There is a stone door on the right side, which has been opened, and before entering again, Li Qiuzhi noticed that there is a stone tablet outside the door, which seems to be the way to unlock the seal.
the shadow of gold in the clear waters of the lake;
electrical crystals in the crevices of stone walls;
Fire Elemental Large Slime Puree;
a small piece of jet-black meteoric iron;
Scrolls of forbidden spells of hilichurl shamans;
Fill the above materials in order to fill the five sides of the stone gate, that is, the method of lifting the seal!
"This is inevitably too straightforward, right, it stands to reason that lifting the seal or something shouldn't be written in a foggy way, how to do it purely by guessing?"
Li Qiuzhi complained speechlessly.
"Not necessarily, it's not easy for ordinary people to find all these materials." Vill pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said.
"It seems that the knightly novels are not entirely accurate."
Noelle looked a little regretful, the protagonists in the book have gone through a lot of hardships to get the harvest, and they really can't believe it all.
"Forget it, let's go inside and see if there's really a secret realm."
Since the seal had been opened, everyone didn't continue to care, and after a while, they crossed the stone door and came inside, which was also a simple stone room.
In the center is a stone shelf, on which the holy relics should be placed, but unfortunately the Treasure Hoarders took them.
"Look, it's a secret realm!"
Vile said in surprise, pointing to the corner on the right.
Li Qiuzhi looked at it when he heard this, and saw a huge crack that seemed to be torn apart in space stopped there quietly, and the space crack was not black in the depths of nothingness, but like a starry sky, dotted with stars.
"This is the Secret Portal?" Li Qiuzhi has actually seen it in the game, but it's still a bit shocking to really get up close in reality.
"Hmm. It's the first time I've seen it, so I don't know how it works, but if it's Miss Lisa, who is knowledgeable, she probably knows. ”
Noelle's fair face was also marked by surprise.
"Shall we go in and take a look, the more information we gather, the more valuable this piece of information will be!" Vile said with some excitement.
Li Qiuzhi looked at her with a "speechless" expression, saying that he really didn't know what to say.
"Miss Vile, we don't know what's in the secret realm, it's dangerous to rush over, let's let the professional investigators of the Adventurers' Guild come."
Noelle also whispered.
Li Qiuzhi, who had played the game, knew that no matter what kind of secret realm, there was a high probability that there would be a bunch of monsters, and he was afraid that he would appear in the pile of monsters as soon as he entered.
Li Qiuzhi felt that it was better not to be so reckless.
"Now that we've determined that there really is a secret realm, let's go back first." Li Qiuzhi said to the two.
It's been a long time since I was commissioned, and it's getting dark back to Mondstadt.
"Okay......"
Vile naturally understood the truth, and put down her hands and hung her head in a dejected manner.
Along the way they came, the trio walked out of the ruins and began their return to Mondstadt, taking several members of the Treasure Hoarders with them.
Overall, Li Qiuzhi's experience of this adventure was not bad.
The harvested materials were divided among everyone on the return trip, and even if Noelle said that he didn't need it, he was forcibly stuffed some.
After all, Noelle contributed the most in this adventure, and no matter how you say it, she can't be disadvantaged.
The Slime Condensate obtained from defeating the Slime and the Chaos Device of the Ruins Guardian can be sold for a lot of Mora.
Vile accepted it unceremoniously, and in return for saving her life, she was willing to help sell the materials and see how much Mora would redistribute them.
Of course, Li Qiuzhi had no problem, and in the end, Noelle, who had a soft personality, pushed it off under his tough attitude, but he could only reluctantly agree.
[Noelle has a good impression of you, gain 50 opinion points, and the current opinion level is Lv.2 (30/200)]
[Vile has a good impression of you, gain 30 opinion points, and the current opinion level is 3 (2/300)]
In Li Qiuzhi's pleasantly surprised mood, the two of them had a better impression of him, and now they can be regarded as more familiar friends.
Just as the sun was about to set as the sun turned golden, Li Qiuzhi and the three of them finally saw Mondstadt from afar, and the magnificent walls looked epic in the golden sunlight.
The closer you are to Mondstadt at this time, the more adventurers will return from their adventures, and some of them will be in the same group.
There are not many people who are scattered and alone.
After all, without great strength, it is not only difficult but also dangerous for adventurers to venture alone.
Back in Mondstadt, Li Qiuzhi and the others first handed over several treasure pounders to the Knights of Favonius patrolling the city, which was highly praised, and said that they would publicly praise their actions and give them a reward in the future.
Weier hurriedly said no, her identity as an intelligence trader is not suitable for too many people to know, and if everyone does not know her in the future, how can she collect intelligence.
Although Noelle has not yet become a Knight of Favonius, he has always demanded himself by the standards of knights, and naturally he will not accept praise and bonuses.
As for Li Qiuzhi, it doesn't matter if he doesn't praise him, but he still wants the bonus, but the two girls refused, so he couldn't even be as good as them, so he could only treat it as if there was no such thing.
After saying goodbye to the patrolling Knights of Favonius, they came to the Adventurers' Guild to submit a commission.
Confirm the completion and get a commission of 100,000 Mora, and then half with Noelle. This time, she also understood that she couldn't refuse, and didn't say anything she didn't need.
Unexpectedly, a well-dressed young man was handing out leaflets to passers-by.
Li Qiuzhi and the others were also stuffed with a sheet, and looked at it curiously, simply put, it was an adventure group called [Emerald Wings] recruiting new people, the welfare package was very good, and there were adventurers and seniors with adventures and the like.
It is common for adventure groups to recruit new people, and Li Qiuzhi didn't pay much attention to it.
Then there was the news about the discovery of the secret realm, and after thinking about it, everyone decided to tell the Adventurers' Guild.
Maybe selling it to the big parties will get you more Mora, but it's more cumbersome.
First of all, we must look at the credibility of this adventure group, and compare the prices offered by different adventure groups, so that we can choose the one with the most benefits.
It's better to choose to save trouble and tell the Adventurers' Guild directly, after all, the Guild won't take their information in vain.
