"Master, is it really okay for us to leave those treasures here?"

A few minutes later, with his new weapon on his back, Maxim looked back at the cavern behind him that was hidden in the swamp mist, and he whispered:

"If the Lord of the Biterner's scepter is a miracle creation, it means that the armor, the tiara, the shield, and the chain mail are all of the same quality, and you can take them back with you to cheer up your army, even if you don't need them.

I think at least Master Kudell is worthy of wielding the legendary 'Soul Ripper' flail.

It represents a lot of history, and having it as a collector's item can also be a great way to increase your prestige. ”

"Kudel has enough griffin in his hand to wield it, and I don't think he'll like the Gnoll's weapons, the guy is very picky about weapons, which is probably a habit he's been a human being since he was born.

So, leave them there. ”

Murphy waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"With such a huge 'Super Vault' that can be directly linked to the Creator's might, you can't hold it without pressing the treasure at the bottom of the box, and I'm looking forward to when my warriors will find it and open it?

We're ready to take the rest of the cave with us, and we'll have to leave something for future treasure hunters, or we'll be too stingy for the development team.

As for the information that the king of biting bones left there.

We can't get it at the moment, but I can probably guess that the information must be related to the Gnoll's civilization tablet.

The King of Biting Bones tried to use the 'treasure map' to lead his successor to the Land of Creation in the Swamp Exclusion Zone, but the problem was that Tracy and I skipped that process, which was equivalent to getting stuck in a bug and stepping directly into the Mystery Land.

That message is dispensable to us, but it could be made into a pretty good quest chain for exploration and guidance, well, an 'epic' quest chain hidden in history, that ultimately exposes the Creator's system to the warriors in a very reasonable way, rather than us rudely guiding them straight to the exclusion zone.

Speaking of the message itself, the Rippers had fled back to the Dark Mountains with the slate, but I guess they would never find the right way to use it.

As for the weapons and armor left behind by the King of Biting Bone"

Murphy glanced back at the cave that had been hidden in the fog and was no longer visible, and with a subtle expression, he said to Maxim:

"If I told you that I had a lot of gadgets of the same size, would you think your master was crazy?"

"Of course not!"

Maxim was visibly stunned, after all, they were talking about miracle creatures, but soon he shook his head and said:

"You are a miracle man, my master!

I am not surprised that you have performed any miracles, you are such a man who is beyond common sense, and it is bound to be etched in history, and the King of Biting Bones is nothing more than the light of rotten grass trying to compete with the bright moon."

"Well, you learned a lot in that tavern."

Murphy waved his hand to stop Maxim's frank flattery, and he sighed half-complainingly and half-helplessly:

"Look at you, my 'clever mark', you're so fresh and sophisticated now, I'm really afraid that you'll say crazy things like 'the days change, the artifact is easier' in the next sentence, I can understand that a serious soldier like you needs a little entertainment, and I don't stop you from having fun in otherworldly knowledge.

But. Don't look at the ghosts, Mark, that thing is pretty magical and will corrupt your mind.

I let you learn, and I don't let you learn this. ”

As he spoke, Murphy glanced at Heru, who was sitting on the magic carpet behind him, holding a beast bone cane embellished with eyeball symbols and a face full of ecstasy.

The cane in his hand is a special thing for reconnaissance and perception that Murphy found from the "treasure" of the Biting Bone King, called "Eye of the Clan", and the quality of its equipment and the skullcrusher obtained by Maxim are completely heaven and earth, but for a scout of Heru's level, it is no longer a "artifact" that drops pie in the sky.

After all, theoretically, this thing is indeed the "legacy" of the King of Biting Bone.

In terms of commemorative significance alone, it is not much different from the world-famous skull crusher.

Unfortunately, where Murphy was going next, with Heru's strength and his position in the Transancian system, it was obvious that he could not follow.

Murphy then took a look, and Maxim immediately flew to Heru's side, and under the guise of escorting, he took the scout to the exit of the Swamp Forbidden and let him return to Wolfsburg on his own.

Murphy and Tracy waited for Maxim to return, and when only two were left, the Vampire Lord turned to Tracy and said:

"Our previous guess was correct, the rise of the Lord of Biters was definitely due to the fact that the cunning Gnoll discovered another place of creation in the Dark Mountains, and was lucky enough to have access to it and learn about the mystery of the Creator's legacy.

It seems that there are really a lot of good things hidden in the dark mountains.

I even have a feeling that maybe that mysterious Eden is hidden somewhere in the Dark Mountains."

"No, no, no, I don't see it that way."

There was a thoughtful glint in Tracey's seductive eyes, and she shook her head and said:

"I think the location of Eden should be as far away from the continent as the place of origin, maybe the land of creation is hidden somewhere in the New World.

It's far enough away and private enough!

As for the most likely small ruins found by the Lord of the Biters in the Dark Mountains, it may explain why it has never been able to use the power of the Creator to strengthen its own soldiers.

It's not that it doesn't want to, it's that it can't.

The gifts it received from the Creator were limited to weapons, armor, and some knowledge of deeper mysteries?

You know, since learning about the existence of the Land of Creation, I've even had doubts about the purpose of the Lord of the Bitten Bone to lead the Black Calamity army to attack the continent, maybe it didn't just want to establish a Gnoll Dynasty.

It may be that it is trying to go deep into the continent to find similar 'adventures' for the purpose of war. ”

The Grand Duke of the Vulture narrowed his eyes, and she said:

"I now suspect that there is something else hidden beneath this continent of ignorance where we live! From my experience of traveling over the past hundreds of years, I have good reason to believe that there are at least three places that are suspicious!

There are legends of 'sinkholes' in the northern mountains of Greeney Island, rare and unusual extreme weather on the Far North Ice Sheet near the Wild Wilderness, and finally the White Cliffs Territory where the Tower of the Ring is located.

Many people know that the main area of the White Cliff Territory is located in a half-plane, and they say that it is a high-level enchantment set up by psionics masters to preserve the mysteries of psionic energy.

But few people know that the fairly stable half-plane of the White Cliff Territory is actually innate!

I've heard some legends from the era when the Tower of the Ring was first built, and it wasn't the psionic forerunners among the humans who built the White Cliff, but they found it.

The anomalies of these three places cannot be explained by psionic energy and common sense, perhaps that is where the King of Biting Bones wants to go.

There may be a legacy of the Creator hidden there.

Not!

From this line of thought, there is another, more plausible explanation for the Songhai Empire's rather peculiar tradition of sending a mission around the world every 200 years to visit various powers.

It's not that the people of Songhai really care about the development of backward civilizations on the mainland, but that those believers in the Creator are looking for the relics of the Creator in the world in this way!

I feel as if I've inadvertently guessed some truth.

And I can be sure that the Songhai Empire has discovered many ruins during its first 'world tour' in 200 A.D., at least their initial diplomatic relationship with the ancient kingdom of Callum may have been based on the exploration of the ruins of creation and the mysteries of the creator on both sides.

Oh, my God!

Murphy, if you look at it from this point of view, the thousand-year-old history of this continent can be completely reconstructed!

Under this deconstruction, neither humans nor vampires nor other races that have multiplied for millennia are the protagonists of this continent.

We are just pretending to have established the age of civilization on top of the mysterious ruins left behind by the Creator, and we are as naïve as children when we claim sovereignty over a place to others.

The influence of the Creator has never been far from this continent, and the Songhai Empire, as a loyal follower of the Creator, has always stayed out of the matter, and those blue-skinned bastards may look at us as if they are caring for a group of retarded people playing with pee.

Scald!

I finally understood where the innate sense of independence of the Songhai people came from. ”

Tracey was devastated.

The Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture lamented:

"People really have proud capital."

"Don't be so pessimistic."

Murphy didn't see it that way, he shook his head and said:

"If the Songhai people really inherited the power of the creator, then they would have opened up to the stars in a spaceship, after all, the data keys left by the creator can be turned into the form of a star destroyer, and the security equipment made by his servants is also a magic weapon in this era.

I have enough reason to think that it is evidence of the existence of a super civilization, and although the Songhai people have solar boats, their level of civilization has not caused us a dimensionality reduction blow.

This shows that the Songhai people think they have inherited the legacy of the Creator, but in fact they do not!

They are also imitators like us.

It's just that they imitate it more like it, and to put it mildly, it's completely a crow laughing at a pig. ”

"Well, a vulgar metaphor, but it makes sense!"

Tracey nodded, thinking that Murphy's statement might be closer to the truth.

Twenty minutes later, Maxim returned and entered the exhibition hall under the leadership of Murphy and Trash, the series of shocks expressed by the loyal servants when they walked into the Land of Creation were no different from those of Murphy and Trass before him, and after hearing that Murphy's master had taken the power of curator and became the spokesperson appointed by the Creator in the swamp, Mark once again affirmed the stereotype that Lord Murphy was a "Destiny".

He was honored to be in the service of such a great man!

So, under Murphy's strange gaze, Maxim not only does not fear all the mysteries of the world hidden beneath the surface, but sees them as an extension of his mission.

While this wasn't what Murphy wanted, Murphy had no complaints about Mark's straightforward and quick acceptance of all of this.

After all, everyone's worldview is different, which determines that the image of the world in the eyes of people is also completely different, and for Maxim, he really doesn't care much about the mission and greatness of the Creator, he may be more interested in the power and legacy that exist in the ruins.

There are not so many complicated thoughts, and life seems to have become simpler.

This kind of mentality is really worth learning

"Click"

At the edge of the staff hall in front of the trio, the passage to the exhibition hall's arsenal was finally opened, and it was the first time that Murphy, the curator, had checked the force situation in his area.

The facts are disappointing!

Because he didn't find the Angel of Comfort or the Neutron Exterminator here, with the Creator's technological power, he could definitely make something like that, but he obviously wouldn't be mad enough to place it in a swamp ecoregion.

As previously described in the Curator's Code of Conduct, there are 48 sets of personal security devices on display in this small arsenal.

They were hidden in shafts in a "canned" manner, and as Murphy activated the Curator's privileges, three yellow and red jars rose from the ground in front of him.

The glass cover made of special materials was cut open, the white gas used for preservation was released, and the safety lock was lifted in the echo of electronic sound, and the three sets of safety protection equipment stood quietly in front of the three Murphy.

The black paint gives the coverall-like armor a simple aesthetic, and Murphy reaches out to feel that it is not metal but a polymer-like feel.

It's not one.

Instead, there is a complete set of clothes like a tight wetsuit as a "carrier", and then with different "armor pieces" to form different protective effects.

The armor piece that had been placed in the storage jar was a little brittle to the touch, and it didn't look like a deterrent at all, but Murphy could barely pierce the thin piece of armor with the necessary viciousness.

This is a necessary evil!

Although it is a weak magic sword, its sharpness is second to none in the entire continent.

"Although they are all from the designers of Eden, this set of armor and the Heavy Armor of the King of Biting Bones are obviously used in both scenes."

Murphy reached out and took out the protective gear in the jar in front of him, and easily activated the item identification and saw its entry:

Name: "Far Traveler" Type II Multifunctional Protective Gear and Personal Security Device

Quality: Miracle Creation, mass production type

Item characteristics: nano support, modular, pre-programmed, built-in quantum communication, intelligent shuttle control

Item Effects:

One. Multi-purpose lightweight protective gear:

The basic armor pieces can be combined with physical defense, excellent protection, psionic enhancement, excellent psionic enhancement, and perception enhancement, excellent dexterity/excellent perception.

The three basic armor pieces can be mixed and matched in 12 slots throughout the armor according to the user's needs, but the cluster resonance effect of each type of armor piece will be weakened.

Two. Special Shuttle:

Due to the needs of the working environment of the swamp ecological region, the protective gear is additionally customized with an intelligent shuttle defense system, and each set of protective gear is equipped with three shuttles by default for intelligent security and cruise detection.

Prompt!

Manipulating shuttle combat requires a certain understanding of three-dimensional spatial perception.

Three. Modular Upgrades:

When looking for a special reinforcement device for this type of armor, you can customize and strengthen the protective gear with personal characteristics, but this reinforcement device has not yet been popularized, and only exists in the Eden headquarters and the area of the superior Creation Land.

Manufacturer: The production line of the "Far Traveler" security service provider under the Eden District Peacekeeping Weapons Design Bureau.

Item Description:

[Funding for the swamp eco-region is limited, so don't expect the curators to spend more money on improving the personal security services that are not needed at this base.] This lightweight protective gear is mediocre in every way, and the cheap price is probably its only advantage.

Of course, even the cheapest armor is quality tested before it leaves the factory, so as long as you're not wearing it against the Astral Behemoth or trying to jump into the creation engine, you can rely on it to give you a sense of security. 】

Murphy blinked.

He glanced back at Triss and Maxim, who had each been given a set of protective gear, and then changed into this tight-fitting protective gear in front of them, and as he moved his body in place like an athlete about to dive, the Vampire Lord coughed, activating the built-in quantum communication of the protective gear.

Then he said to the communication module of the protective gear:

"Connect the communication duct LHG-0017, I have some questions about the product to ask customer service."

"Wait a minute."

The personal protective gear has built-in communication to faithfully fulfill the instructions, and as Murphy waits, a beep continues to sound from the duct, until several minutes later, an intermittent electronic tone answers:

"Thank you for calling Far Traveler customer service to answer. Center please. Please describe. Your question"

"I'd like to visit the Far Traveler headquarters in person."

Murphy struggled to keep his heartbeat calm, he clenched his fists, and whispered:

"Your headquarters are in Eden, right? Can you give me a map where to get there? ”

"Procedure. Error: Unable to locate communication satellite, damaged protective gear, built-in map, permission to decentralize, has marked coordinates for you. We welcome you and wish you a safe stay, Your Excellency. ”

The intermittent electronic sound is really uncomfortable to listen to, but Murphy is already very moved by the fact that this thing can still be activated, and the ghost knows how long this answering program has been persisting in time, and he can only sigh that the quality of the products of the creator's servants is really good.

As Murphy raised his wrist, a holographic map of the world unfolded before his eyes, and a red punctuation mark was marked, which was the location of the headquarters of the Far Traveler company.

Tracey, opposite Murphy, immediately got up, and said:

"Eden is really in the Dark Mountains! This location is in the area of Badland Mountain and deeper into the Dark Mountains, probably in the area near Hungry Mountain, but this map is a bit strange, and it is obviously different from the map of the continent that I remember. ”

"This map is clearly drawn during the time when the Creator's servants dominated the world."

Murphy whispered:

"Tracey, do you notice the difference? The dark mountains of that time were not! At that time, there were no dark mountains at all, there was a plain. So, what is really going on in the fog of the alternation of the two eras?

What shaped the Dark Mountains today? Ah, this feeling of going deep into the fog is terrible.

Why do we always find an answer that leads to a series of questions? ”

The vampire lord complained fiercely, he made a note of the location, and planned to take advantage of the chaos of the Black Plague to go there if he had the opportunity, and then turned around and opened the weapon box fixed on the wall of the arsenal.

Weapons for 48 sets of personal security devices are stored here.

With a flick of Murphy's finger, three black dragon-tooth-shaped intelligent shuttles spun around him at high speed, and under Murphy's control, they aimed forward in three positions at the same time, and the red plasma beam burst into pieces, shattering an armor piece in one bit.

This destructive power is okay, and it is even more rare to manipulate without delay.

Then he stretched his five fingers, and the three black shuttles gathered together and spun around in front of Murphy's eyes, stretching out a small energy matrix with a shield, and the three-dimensional spatial perception brought about by the long-term manipulation of necessary evils made Murphy's manipulation of this thing as easy as eating and drinking.

Tracy behind him was also glaring, and she seemed to have seen more uses for this thing.

"Bring everything here back to the Crimson Keep."

Murphy retracted the shuttle and let it fall into the storage space on the arm of the armor, and pulled out a futuristic straight-edged combat knife from the weapon case in front of him.

He took the black blade in his hand, pulled out a third of it, and nodded with great satisfaction as he looked at the crystal-clear hot melt blade and its simple and atmospheric appearance.

He casually threw the staff sword "Beast Hidden Deep" back into the psionic bag, wore the hot melt sword on his waist as a new weapon, and said to Maxim, who was in front of the weapon box, clumsily pulling the injection tube to fill the "Skull Crusher" with combat fuel:

"When we go back, paint these armor in a scarlet color that matches the characteristics of our race, and make some decorations that match the characteristics of the times, starting today, the core members of the Blood Vulture Clan will have new armor, which we will call 'T3 - Black Blade', as a settlement reward for the Black Calamity DLC.

Well, praise the Mother of Midnight for her generosity. ”
