Chapter 281: Dusk Cemetery
The Dusk Cemetery was the ancient battlefield that Midi had always dreamed of.
However, the so-called "ancient battlefield" is not a real battlefield, in fact, there has not been any war in this sea area since ancient times.
Tens of thousands of years ago, when the tyrannosaurus king Bakar led a large number of demons on an expedition to the heavenly realm, and a great war occurred, the heavenly realm produced various space-time distortions because of the continuous terrible explosions. On the battlefield of the Celestial Realm, a large number of spatial rifts appeared, and countless Celestial Cruisers and Demon Cruisers all fell into the lower realm through this rift, which is now the sea of clouds in the sky.
The graveyard of these cruisers is the "Ancient Battlefield", which reproduces the tragic war of the year, but never ignited even a trace of war, and only the steel that lost its life and the legend of the passage of time are left here.
To put it simply, it's just a gathering place for drifters.
To be realistic, it can be regarded as a place where there is room for slander, provided that its coordinates and location are not yet known to most people.
The Dusk Cemetery fits the bill perfectly.
In fact, when he actually entered this area, Midi realized that it was really difficult to find this place.
Because it is located in the depths of the central zone where there is no wind and no ocean current, ordinary airships will not easily set foot in this area, otherwise if you are not careful, it will be easy to be trapped here directly after the magic crystal fuel is exhausted. And the light that shot out of the spatial rift was obscured by the surrounding clouds and mist, so it couldn't be seen at all from a distance.
The combination of these factors has made the Dusk Cemetery extremely secluded, and has remained undisturbed and pristine for thousands of years.
It was also by chance that Emile deduced the location of the Dusk Cemetery from a few words in an ancient book.
It's just that even if she speculated, she didn't dare to come to verify it alone, let alone let others know the results of the calculation of the Dao easily, for fear that it would bring about a catastrophe.
It wasn't until Reinhardt and Wiseman, the nether humans who desperately needed money but didn't care about it in their hearts, came to the wind that Emile finally felt that the time was ripe for an adventure.
So, a prince, a crazed necromancer, and she, an alchemist who usually stays at home, the three of them went on several expeditions together, and obtained a number of valuable ancient cruiser wrecks.
However, there is no doubt that without the intervention of Midi, it would be impossible for the three of them to carry out any large-scale exploration.
It's not because there are few people, it's not because of a shortage of funds, the point is that they are all laymen!
Take Reinhardt as an example, this prince thinks very highly of himself, and has been here a few times, so he naturally feels familiar with the way, and as soon as the narwhal enters the twilight cemetery, he immediately begins to point fingers, go here, go there, salvage this, salvage that, and is very busy.
Obviously, Midi's proposal to "go back and fight for the throne of the Delos Empire" obviously moved him, and made him start to exert his strength.
But what is more obvious is that the direction of this prince's force is obviously wrong. The direction of navigation pointed out is even more wrong.
Although there are no magical beasts in this dusk cemetery, and it is in the windless zone, it looks like a completely dead place, but in fact, it is a cycle of its own and has its own mysteries. Even Midi in the previous life knew very well that most of this kind of ancient battlefields had a magic cycle, otherwise, after thousands of years, they would be dispersed directly, how could they still form a "gathering place of drifting objects"?
For experienced adventurers, as long as they find a few more footholds and explore the direction of the magic cycle, they will soon be able to roughly deduce the size of the range, the thickness of the upper and lower levels, and the path of progress that can be used in this dusk graveyard - after all, where there is a flow of mana, there will always be no accumulation of wreckage, and the focus of the flow must be the location of the spatial rift, which needs to be slowed down and dealt with carefully.
But the Fourth Prince, who is extremely familiar with and can even be said to be proficient in military, politics, swordsmanship, literature, art, music, etc., does not even have a teacher in the field of adventure, let alone any common sense.
The direction he pointed, Midi only needed to look at it to know that the path was basically a dead end, or at the end, where many spatial rifts were located, the magic vortex area.
In this way, it is simply like a headless fly that is running into a mess, how can the progress of exploration not be slow, and how can it not be dangerous on the way forward?
As for the "White Snake" Emile, who will be famous in the future, it is not much better.
The master alchemist, who has been immersed in alchemy laboratories and factories all day long, has only his eyes fixed on the most valuable treasures as he goes on adventures.
For example, the engine, control room, transmission system, suspension system of ancient cruisers, and so on.
Whenever she sees the wreckage of a cruiser that may contain these things, Emile's undisguised greedy gaze will come out from behind the lenses of her white tortoiseshell glasses, much sharper than a sword!
But she didn't know that such a chance approach of salvaging the wreckage as soon as she saw it didn't increase the odds of actually getting a high-value item, on the contrary, it was just a waste of time.
Because the most important thing in salvaging the wreckage is not to look at the shape, but to analyze it through clues - what kind of battle did these wrecks form? what kind of state did they become after they rushed here? where will the flagships, which are probably the most intact, be washed away, and where should they be found?
Only by analyzing the situation of the entire ancient battlefield can we find the most valuable wreckage, or even a complete ancient cruiser, in a targeted manner!
And if you see a "wreckage that may have a complete engine inside" and follow your feelings to salvage it, then the worst result can only lead to two results-
The adventurer has the illusion that there may be a "complete engine" in every wreckage.
The adventurer salvaged until dark because of this illusion, but found nothing!
It is conceivable that Reinhardt, who does not know how to open up the "path of exploration" at all, and Emile, who is greedy and undisguised, these two people get together, and it is simply a disaster for real exploration, even if the two of them have enough manpower and funds, I am afraid they will not be able to play any tricks, let alone be in a state of poverty and whiteness.
Suffice it to say, if it weren't for the fact that Emile was so talented in alchemy that she was able to use waste and research new airship techniques by herself from the salvaged garbage, I'm afraid they would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.
As for the last one, the "Nightmare Hand" Wiseman Newton......
Midi was skeptical that he would be honest about it.
And after a few days of observation, he came to the conclusion that Wiseman didn't explore at all.
Most of the time, this guy just just found a random place where no one was in a daze, and even if he was discovered by Midi, he didn't care at all.
Such an incredible combination, in the end, was able to make an auction item that cost Midi 200,000 crystal coins, and now that I think about it, the luck of these three people is probably a little too good.
However, seeing that they had no sense of coordination and teamwork, and that they were in chaos, Midi's mood couldn't help but feel a kind of nostalgia.
How long has it been since I have seen such a pure "adventure"?
There is no rich experience, no rules and regulations, no ready-made solutions, it is completely with enthusiasm and greedy thirst for money, skills, etc., here the head is bloody, and of course, there are all kinds of laziness and evasion......
Perhaps, this is the real adventure.
It would be nice if one day I could have such an adventure with Fina and Alice.
Thinking of this, Midi's dark star-like eyes rarely swelled up with a trace of nostalgia and attachment that was not easy to detect.
"Who are you thinking about?"
A slightly resentful voice rang in Midi's ears.
Even if he was an extraordinary awakener, Midi was taken aback - not because he was too immersed in longing to notice his surroundings, but because the owner of the voice was too good at concealing relationships.
A level 60 assassin with the secret skill of awakening, this is Avril's true strength.
In the absence of murderous intent and hostility, even Midi could not detect her coming.
Moreover, I don't know when Avril was already standing intimately with Midi, not only wrapped around his arm like a water snake, but also clinging to his chest with amazing curves.
"I said, Miss Avril, please don't play this anymore. Midi smiled bitterly and struggled, but it didn't work, and the other party got closer, "We're already allies, and it's a very strong relationship, why bother seducing me again?"
"What are you thinking about, Mr. Midi?" Avril glanced at Midi in a charming manner, "I just felt a little cold when I was blown by the wind, so I wanted to warm up." ”
In this windless zone where there is only magic flowing, and there is no air flow at all, it is said that it is blown cold by the wind? Even if you make excuses, you have to find a decent one, right?
Midi was completely speechless for a moment, and he tried to struggle again, but to no avail.
Avril just smiled at Midi with an embarrassed expression.
Although she fell in love with Midi at first, it was just to find a more convenient backer to search for information by herself, but now that it has become this kind of relationship by mistake, how could Avril let that **** end so easily?
Just kidding, since you already know that Midi is a good man, the intensity of the seduction can only increase, right?
What is an ally, how can it be satisfied!
Even if the other party already has a place in his heart, for the dark elf assassin who has gone through the ups and downs, if he doesn't try hard, he will definitely not give up easily.
In any case, seduction can also be regarded as a way of gratitude.
After all, if it weren't for Midi, maybe she wouldn't have been able to meet and recognize her sister for a long time, and she would have been able to have such a safe and secure environment to live in.
So, even if Midi never mentioned it, Avril had to repay it in her own way.
Of course, this "reward" includes all kinds of benefits of seduction, but it is by no means just seduction.
