Chapter Fifty-Six: The Handle of the Bloody Roar

Illidia's keen insight made him immediately notice the changes in Leo, and he couldn't help but look around curiously, but he didn't find anything, and wondered: "So it seems that the Juggernaut is not buried here, but where does it lead down here?"

Leo felt silently for a moment, and then said, "This place feels very similar to the feeling of a place I have seen before......"

"What is it?" asked Illidia hurriedly.

Leo said with a solemn expression: "Bottomless Abyss!"

Hearing him say this, Illidia was taken aback: "You mean, this is the passage that connects to the bottomless abyss?!But how is this possible?"

"Nothing impossible, I've seen demons forcibly open portals in the Shadow Realm, so I'm familiar with this aura and won't be able to tell the difference. Leo was very confident in his opinion, and continued to analyze: "Perhaps, this is the channel through which the demons entered the main material world in the first place, and were suppressed by the Sword Master. ”

Smelling the faint smell of sulfur and feeling the chaotic fluctuations of understanding, Illidia quickly accepted Leo's opinion, and said with a bit of self-deprecation: "So, if we go in, we will still be able to see the scenery of the bottomless abyss, but we don't know which layer it is connected to." ”

Leo smiled bitterly: "I don't think so, the demons are very interested in the main material world, and they haven't used this channel for so many years, either there is still a strong ban, or it has completely failed." ”

Illidia was about to say something more, but before he could speak, Carusat, who was disappointed that he didn't find a bloody roar and was studying the stick at the moment, suddenly let out a cry of pain and threw the stick in his hand to the ground.

"Be a long one!"

A series of shrill thuds echoed through the empty hall.

Leo and Illida, who had only experienced a lot of danger, were startled and asked at the same time, "What's wrong?"

Carusat smiled apologetically. Waving his hand to indicate that nothing was wrong, he explained: "This stick suddenly became very hot, and I didn't hold it for a while, it's really weird." ”

Leo's gaze naturally fell on the stick, and although he couldn't see any clues, he could imagine it. The things that are placed in the "Tomb of the Juggernaut" are by no means too ordinary.

Illidia stepped forward, stretched out a finger and touched the stick, and quickly raised an eyebrow: "Hey, it's not hot anymore, what kind of material is this? Why have I never seen it?"

Leo next to him was also observing the stick.

It is about 150 centimeters long, dark gray, with a very rough surface and a relatively smooth upper part. It's like breaking off from something.

Confirming that he couldn't tell the difference, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen this kind of material either." ”

As a mage, trained by Byron, the initiation teacher, and systematically educated in the academy, Leo is confident that he can distinguish a wide variety of special materials.

But the material of the stick in front of me is very peculiar, not metal, not stone, not bone, and it gives people an extremely hard feeling. He really couldn't see what it was up there.

At this time, the burning sensation in Carusat's mouth had completely disappeared. Leo tentatively grasped the stick and tried to hold it with a little force, but he couldn't pick it up.

"So heavy......

"Yes, the guy who can use this thing as a weapon must be a strong man!" said Carusat, but did not mention that he had just tried his best to get the stick out of the sarcophagus.

Leo became more and more curious about the stick. He volunteered, "Do you need me to test it?"

"Can you identify it?" said Carusat, surprised.

Leo nodded, "Yes, but there's no guarantee that it will be identified, after all, this thing is likely to be from thousands of years ago." ”

After saying that, he took out an identification scroll and used his spiritual power to stimulate it.

A golden light instantly poured out of the scroll. Under the tug of Leo, the stick was wrapped in it.

Neither Illidia nor Carusat had ever seen such a sight, and their eyes widened with great curiosity. However, Leo really has no explanation**, and it is not easy for people who do not understand magic at all to understand the mechanism of identification.

Moments later, the message returned, and Leo repeated it in lingua franca.

"Unrecognizable items. ”

"......" Carusat blinked, his disappointment palpable.

Leo didn't bother with any of this, and continued, "This item is made entirely of extremely rare Skeleton Iron Essence, but the craftsmanship is crude, and it clearly has the style of orc and demonic weapon making. ”

"Orc weapons! This is indeed an orc weapon!" Karusat, who was still very disappointed, became excited again, "But what is the iron essence?"

Although he didn't find Bloodroar, he found a powerful stick, and he found it in the Tomb of the Sword Saint, so its great significance can be imagined.

Just bring the stick back to Durontar and confirm that everything you say is true, it is definitely an incomparable credit and honor!

Leo's curiosity** has been completely aroused: "It's also the first time I've heard of this thing. Wait a minute, I'll see if I can find the information. ”

"Where are you going to find it?" said Illidia, puzzled.

Instead of answering his question, Leo pulled out a mirror and muttered.

It stands to reason that the tools used in Violet Castle need to be in a concealed environment to ensure that secrets are not leaked, but the two people in front of them don't know anything about this, so Leo simply doesn't pay attention to so many rules.

Soon, Leo, who had obtained knowledge about the Essence of Skeleton Iron, spoke again: "In some parts of the abyss, there are a large number of bones piled up all year round. And if there happens to be iron ore in this place, the bones will slowly fuse with the iron ore, producing a very rare material called iron essence. Its specific efficacy, due to the small production, has not yet been fully proven, but one thing can be confirmed, that is, weapons made of this material can be immune to most corrosion, exposure to elements, toxins, acids, and so on. ”

Carusat immediately realized: "In other words, this thing will hardly break?"

"That's right. An almost eternal weapon!" Leo affirmed his claim.

After satisfying his thirst for knowledge, he remembered that the identification was not over, so he continued: "Judging by the shape, it seems that this is the handle of a certain weapon, and the structure is not complete because it has been broken. It is not possible to analyze the specific efficacy and quality, and only makes the above inferences. But what is certain is that this is definitely not a mundane thing. ”

Speaking of this, Carusat was already completely shocked, and his mouth was wide open: "It's not a mundane thing......! It's ......"

"That's right!" Leo's expression was not so calm, "It should be the axe handle of the blood roar!"

Illidia didn't expect it to be like this, her eyes were fixed on the inconspicuous stick, a part of a legendary artifact, and lay quietly in front of her!

"Axe handle...... The handle of the axe ......" Carusat took a deep breath and let out an uncontrollable cry: "But where is the damn axe blade!"

At this time. Accompanied by his voice, a roar suddenly came from the sarcophagus passage.

"Roar!!

The sound wasn't loud or clear, as if it was separated by something. But Leo could tell it was a demon's roar!

My guess is not wrong at all, under the sarcophagus, it is indeed a bottomless abyss!

And in the next second, one after another demons also roared. Apparently they come in droves.

Not only unconsciously, the "Blood Roar" axe handle on the ground burst into scorching heat. The whole also turned blood red.

Leo suppressed his heart, which had suddenly increased in beating, and held his breath while signaling the other two not to make any rash moves, lest they attract the attention of the demon.

This is really just out of the tiger's mouth, and like a pack of wolves......

Faced with a very large number of demons, he could only pray that his guess was correct. As for opening the lid of the sarcophagus with a gap. There is no special fluctuation on that thing, it is definitely not part of the ban, and it doesn't matter if it exists or not.

It seemed like a long time, and after a few minutes, the demon's voice finally faded away. It then disappears.

"Phew, it seems that they really can't get into here, or don't even notice it's there. Leo let out a long sigh.

Sensing that the crisis had passed, Illidia also relaxed, and her eyes fell on the blood-red stick: "It seems that it can sense the existence of demons and give warnings.

Carusat grabbed the stick and put it on his shoulder, as if he was afraid that it would run away on its own. Then the orc looked through the gap again, and smiled, "Now that the demon is gone, are you interested in going down and taking a look? Maybe the axe handle is inside!"

"Forget it......" Illidia shook her head.

"No interest. Leo also asserted his veto.

"Forget it. Carusat didn't force it. He knew that the current state of the three of them was not good, and if he really entered the abyss through the passage of the sarcophagus, as an orc, he would inevitably be severely suppressed, and he might even fall into a frenzy and be unable to extricate himself. Therefore, it is not a wise decision to enter the abyss at this time.

Anyway, I have already obtained the handle of the axe of the blood roar, and I have some guesses about the whereabouts of the axe blade, and it is not too late to look for it when my own strength is stronger.

You know, it's an artifact, and in the entire Ogoma tribe, there is only one artifact, the Hammer of Destruction, and with its current strength, even if it is obtained, it can't be used at all.

"Since there's nothing left to explore here, shouldn't we leave?" said Illidia.

In this adventure, Carusat got the handle of the bloody roar, and Leo's Valkyrie got the stigma of water, and he got nothing for himself, so it was inevitable that his emotions were not too high.

However, the proposal was immediately approved by the other two, and Leo and Carusat did not want to stay in a strange place any longer.

............

An hour later, the trio entered the grove.

At the moment, the sun had not yet set, indicating that the adventure had taken only five or six hours. But the three of them all felt that time had passed very long, and even had a feeling of being separated from each other.

"Haha, it feels good to be fresh air again. Illidia raised her arms high, eager to turn into a raven and fly into the sky, and the previous loss had long since dissipated.

Carusat carefully placed the handle of the axe on the ground and stretched lazily.

After a short break, he whistled a few times, called back the wolf that was hunting not far away, and then said, "My two friends, it's time for us to go back to Durontal. This time, please be sure to go to my clan, and I will entertain you in the most ceremonious orc manner! It is you who make the blood roar see the light of day! Although it is only the handle of an axe, it is still very significant, and even the most annoying fellow will not be able to object to anything!"

Leo could feel his sincerity, but politely replied, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't plan to go back." ”

"Why?" Karusat's huge eyes were full of puzzlement, "Shouldn't you relax after such an adventure?Maybe you don't like the beauty of our orcs, but in Durontar, there are also these beauties of other races, and I will definitely find a woman and wine that will satisfy you!"

Leo knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Not really, in fact, I have some other things, and I am pressed for time, so I have to hurry up." ”

"That's a pity, if I have the chance, I must come to Durontal, by then, I may have ......" Carusat didn't finish, just clenched his fist hard.

Leo saw his ambition and smiled, "Then I wish you all the best." ”

"I wish you all the best!" Carusat gave Leo a heavy hug, "If there's anything you need my help with, just ask!

............

Half a month later, after successfully passing the investigation of the orc guards, Leo, Illidia, and the Valkyrie finally left the barren land.

Along the way, they did not ride the wolf, although this creature is fast and has strong endurance, it is really difficult to withstand without the two who have been trained since childhood.

Looking at the forest shrouded in fog in front of him, Illidia casually introduced: "That's the Ash Valley, we will have to walk for about half a month, and when we get out of the range of the fog, we will officially enter the southern edge of the Supreme Forest." ”

"There is still half a month. Leo repeated, his heart filled with that soft and touching face.

Illidia was not as relaxed as Leo, but showed a little apprehension: "Here, we have to be careful, the fog provides shelter for many beneficial creatures, and if they are entangled, it will be a great headache." (To be continued......)
