Chapter 135 The Temple Underground - Chapter 136 Altars, Statues and Secondary Artifacts(1/2)
.Magic crystals and elemental crystals are basically the same type of products, and are energy crystals that contain energy that can be absorbed and used by the caster. However, unlike elemental crystals containing elemental energy, magic crystals may be produced naturally or artificially made. However, no matter which one is, they contain pure and impurity-free magic power, which can be directly absorbed by the mage without purifying and transforming. Compared with recovery potions, a piece of magic crystals far exceeds the former in terms of absorption speed and magic content. They are the favorite supply items of ancient arcane masters.
Because naturally produced magic crystals are very rare, arcane artists simulated the naturally generated environment and invented a method of artificially making magic crystals.
This is one of the greatest inventions of mankind during the Arcane Empire, second only to plane teleportation technology and the core arcane nuclear energy of the City of Sky.
This box of magic crystals is neatly shaped, obviously made by arcanes. Because it is protected by metal boxes, there has been no energy loss for thousands of years, as intact as the newly produced ones.
However, after Donald and Messel carefully inspected the equipment in the alchemy factory with full movement, they were somewhat disappointed to find that these machines were just the kind of equipment that contained magic crystals, metal boxes that hidden magical booms and store energy objects, rather than the device that imagined to create artificial magic crystals.
Although they all knew that such devices were unlikely to appear in ordinary arcane cities, and legend has the ability to produce artificial magic crystals in the city of Sky, the master and apprentice could not help but feel disappointed.
"How do we divide the things here?" Edwina said as she looked at the other two silver mages.
More than a dozen metal boxes have been opened, and what disappointed them was that only three boxes contained supplies, and the others were empty. The three boxes were not all magic crystals, and one of them contained another crystal material.
Phase crystal is a necessary material for producing space genus xing and teleportation arrays, which is very precious and rare.
Seeing that the others were very jealous when they looked at the three metal boxes, Messel discussed with his disciples and said to Edwina first: "We want all the alchemy equipment here, and at least two-thirds of the phase crystals. You can do without a magic crystal!"
Although the other two silver mages were a little reluctant to leave, they were not unexpected. Magic crystals were directly used for them and even life-saving treasures at critical moments. In contrast, although the phase crystals were precious, they could only be used to exchange with other mages. Their alchemy skills were not as good as those of the phase crystals.
Edwina thought for a while and agreed with it, but Holden looked a little ugly. Originally, according to the previous agreement, they could only pick up the remaining things from the two in the first two. Now that Messel has to leave so much at once, there is not much left for him, but he has no position to say anything for himself.
So I can only say: "The value of phase crystal is extraordinary. After all, magic crystals are still possible. Phase crystals may have disappeared in the main material world. Master Messel, you have separated most of the gains at once, and those valuable alchemy equipment. Don't you feel that you are too greedy?"
According to actual value, phase crystals are much more precious than magic crystals, and they are a little less, and there is no other way to obtain them. On the contrary, magic crystals still have some rare natural minerals in the main material world.
Horton seemed to be holding on to Edwina, but in fact he was still considering himself.
Donald said at this time: "Mr. Holden's words are inappropriate. Exploring this ruins is very dangerous. I agreed with everyone in the Ansel family in advance. After discovering the treasure, everyone will get the needs. Although the phase crystal and these alchemy equipment are precious, they are far less useful to you than me and my teacher. Especially this set of equipment that produces and manufactures boxes for energy storage. I think even if you take it back, it will not be of much use. We want to understand the structure here, hoping to copy other alchemy equipment!"
Donald said that Edwina and his son had nodded repeatedly, and Holden had nothing to say. Then Donald changed his tone and continued, "What the old man is worried about is that after we two families divided up, we couldn't leave anything left for you. However, although we agreed so much, I think everyone in the Ansel family should not be so stingy!"
Edwina also followed Donald's intention and said, "Yes, this ruin is so vast that the harvest will exceed our imagination. At that time, Mr. Holden, you can't get much back even if you let go. We don't need to argue here. Just according to Messel's opinion, the remaining one-third phase crystal is about ten yuan. Mr. Holden, you can get two yuan, and those two boxes of magic crystals can also be distributed to you by one-tenth. How about it?"
Horton nodded when he heard this. These gains were quite in line with his psychological expectations. In addition, the total value of the gains outside had exceeded 200,000 Jinsol. Moreover, such gains cannot be measured completely by money, after all, many things cannot be bought even if you have money.
The two sides were close to each other, and he was no match for joining hands. If he didn't do it well, he might not get anything. So Holden stopped and divided the temple with Donald and the others. The light here looked at Donald and waved his hand and took away the alchemy tools and equipment in pieces and the table. The others were already numb.
They have guessed that Donald may have a legendary space equipment in his hand, otherwise he would not be able to install such things. Space equipment has always been the most precious value among all spell equipment categories. The value of a legendary space equipment is far beyond that of other equipment at the same level.
I'm afraid it's close to the legendary sub-artifact.
The so-called secondary artifact generally refers to equipment that has some of the quality of the artifact, but its power cannot reach the level of a real artifact. According to the origin, secondary artifacts can be divided into two categories. One is the works of master-level existences in the material world such as humans and elves. Because in some aspects, there are breakthroughs beyond the ordinary objects or use extraordinary materials, the quality reaches the standard of being close to the artifact beyond the scope of legendary equipment. This is the secondary artifact created by mortals.
Another type of secondary artifact is a sub-artifact given to mortal believers by gods, used to protect themselves or develop the church, etc. Some are not refined for some reason and can only become sub-artifacts. Usually this type of secondary artifact is the most precious and may even exert more powerful than real artifacts. Some true gods are still using such sub-artifacts, and their value can be imagined.
It is not tempting to face a legendary space equipment worth a value that may be close to a sub-artifact. It is fake, but Donald's mysterious performance has made outsiders unable to understand his background yet.
Another strong teacher is backed up.
So even if other people may have had other thoughts in their minds, in this dangerous ruin, everyone was on the same boat and had to suppress them.
After all the things in the temple were emptied, the surrounding environment was clear at a glance. Ferdinand suddenly pointed to the middle of the temple, behind a large stone platform where the statue of the god was supposed to be placed, and said, "Look at this place everyone!"
Everyone hurriedly came forward and looked in that direction, and saw a deep and dark entrance appearing behind the stone platform. There was actually a next floor behind the temple?
From the outside, this temple is already very large, and its area is half a size smaller than the size of a giant stone city. However, it was just the first floor of the temple. From here, there is more space down. It is actually an underground temple that penetrates deep into the underground.
Donald released the Shield Guard to explore the way forward. Although the Shield Guard obtained by Donald is only the most ordinary form, and generally has bronze-level combat power, its defense ability is not comparable to that of the Golden Sword Saint. After all, their body is cold metal and rock, not flesh and blood. After spell strengthening and solidifying, ordinary swords cannot leave traces on it. So even if there is any danger below, they can react as soon as possible.
After walking through the stone steps that were thousands of feet wide and extended downwards for hundreds of steps, the group arrived at the second floor of the temple.
When the light technique rose above the heads of the mages present, the light suddenly enveloped the entire space of the lower level of the temple. When everyone saw the scene here, they couldn't help but be amazed.
I saw that this was an underground palace that was twice as large as the temple above. It was built of rocks of the same material and could accommodate thousands of people to gather in it.
On both sides of the underground palace, rows of weapon stands, with batches of weapons and equipment placed on them, with a number of at least more than 10,000. There are many inverted stone statues in the corner, which should be the statues of the gods in the temple at that time. The arcanes were too lazy to clean it up, so they simply pushed them down and piled them aside.
"It seems that the temple underground palace has been transformed into a weapon reserve warehouse by the arcanes."
Edwina said excitedly: "The weapons and equipment that can be stored by arcanes are at least high-level enchanted magical and magical equipment. Look at the many equipment here, it is enough to arm the two kingdom-level elite troops."
The first lady of Thorne's family, Emily, couldn't help but step forward, intending to pick up an exquisite sword with an elf-style style. As soon as she touched the sword, she saw a rumbling sound, dust and smoke flying, and a row of weapon racks had turned into shattering, all weapons fell to the ground, forming a song and echo in the underground palace.
"What's going on?"
Facing everyone's eyes, Emily opened her eyes wide and said innocently: "I did nothing? It just fell down!"
Donald stepped forward and picked up a weapon, observed it carefully, and sighed and said, "It's not about Miss Thorne's business. These weapon racks have been placed here for too long. They are just made of ordinary wood. The protective spells on them have long been invalid, so they cannot withstand the erosion of time and are already decaying. Any slight touch can turn them into ashes."
Everyone was relieved after hearing this, and then Donald said again: "But although these weapons are of excellent material, over the past few thousand years, the enchantment genus xing has almost disappeared. They have changed from magic equipment to ordinary weapons. It is estimated that only legendary equipment can preserve some of the power, which is a pity!"
Everyone was greatly disappointed when they heard this bad news.
"how so?"
Holden was a little unbelievable and reached out to touch another row of weapon racks, but the result was still as decayed as before.
The other people were unwilling to touch other weapon racks, but the huge temple was filled with smoke and dust. After the dust fell and returned to peace, only one weapon rack in front of an altar opposite was left in the underground palace without falling down.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused there.
Chapter 136: Altar, statue and secondary artifact (the mission is completed, continue tomorrow, please give me a few chapters of recommendation votes!)
Behind the underground palace, seven weapons and equipment are neatly arranged on a metal weapon stand.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and no one was the first to take action, for fear that this weapon frame would be the same as before, and that their last hope would be completely lost.
Finally, Donald stepped forward and said, "I'll do it!"
Among the people, only he, Kelthus and Messel had the least interest in gains and losses and was the most open-minded. Of course, there were some of them who knew the real secret of this ruin.
Donald first went up and walked around the weapon rack, but in fact he was watching the altar behind the weapon rack with others on his back.
It has been confirmed that this is the place where the great arcane Serra seals the evil god. This is already the core of the ruins. If the real seal exists, it should be here.
However, this underground palace is clear at a glance, and there is no item related to the True God at all. In addition to the statues piled up in the corner, there is also this altar.
Donald has seen the statues, but they are just ordinary stone sculptures, so the only altar is left without clarification.
This is a small altar similar to the American pyramid. There is also a strange statue on the altar. The reason why it is strange is that the statue is only one foot tall and is a majestic wolf-shaped monster with blue fur. Generally, the existing true gods, even non-human true gods, appear in humanoid form to accept the belief of living creatures in the world. I have hardly heard of any god who will accept worship in the form of a monster, even the true gods of the evil camp.
In myths and legends, many gods will turn into some powerful monsters to help mortals, but their statues have never been made into non-human appearances.
As he approached the altar, Donald quietly ordered the Book of Truth to test it. After obtaining the results, he was surprised and couldn't help but smile.
"How is it?" "Tell me quickly! Is it good news!"
Seeing Donald suddenly laughed, the others asked with hope.
Donald smiled and said, "Congratulations to everyone, these are all legendary and above equipment, so they still retain a lot of power. With these gains, this trip is worth it!"
"Very good"
After being happy, Master Horton from the Thorne family said again: "So how should we divide this time!"
As soon as Holden spoke, everyone was stunned, with Donald and the other three exceptions.
After a while in the underground palace, Edwina spoke first: "Donald, the division plan you proposed in the first two times is fair, and this action was initiated by you, so please tell me how to allocate it first, and then let's all consider what to do?"
The representative of the Thoren family, Horton, nodded when he heard this, thinking that the seven legendary weapons would be there for him to wait for him!
After hearing this, Donald glanced at everyone present and found that he had been keeping his duty as a bounty hunter since joining them. Sogge, who had not made any requests, looked furiously at a giant axe weapon among the seven equipment. It looked like he was determined to win.
Yes, Sog has always used axe-like weapons to be known as the slaughter. He must have been interested in this legendary weapon.
However, as he is, he may have to pay a considerable price to get this legendary giant axe. And the Thorne family must come forward. After all, besides himself and the Ansel family, only the Soger family is qualified to share the gains this time.
Besides, in name, he was also the guide hired by the Thorne family and belonged to them. Maybe the Thorne family would absorb the silver adventurer into the family at the cost of a legendary weapon.
Donald's thoughts turned sharply, but hesitated, "Although these weapons and equipment are good, they are not the gain I want, so I only need one for research. The remaining equipment and the teacher will not compete with you. But in addition, other weapons and materials in the underground palace belong to us. Moreover, after that, I have the right to choose any arcane array or alchemy-related items found in the ruins. Are you satisfied with the allocation of several people?"
Hearing that Donald only had one piece and did not participate in the competition for the remaining six legendary weapons and equipment, he naturally couldn't be happy, so how could he object?
The Horton nodded in joy. Without Donald and the others' participation, he would be able to get one more after he agreed with the Ansel family.
But Ferdy Yand pulled Donald over and asked in a low voice: "This is a legendary equipment, there are not many pieces in the entire kingdom. Donald, don't you really want to ask for two more pieces? You and I have three pieces in each family, and the remaining one is enough to send the Thorne family and the others."
Donald said, "Yes, for me, these are all external objects. Only the power you master is the real strength. I believe the teacher has the same idea. Although the following enchanting equipment has been transformed into ordinary weapons, the materials inside are still preserved intact. Whether it is enchanting again or returning to the furnace to forge new equipment, the value that can be used is not small. My territory is just about to be built, and these materials are needed to create equipment!"
"Since that's the case, I won't advise you!"
Seeing that Donald did not change his attitude, Edwina nodded to her and said, "Then Mr. Holden, let's discuss how to divide these seven pieces of equipment!"
Holden nodded immediately and stepped forward to check the seven pieces of equipment with Edwina.
Among the seven pieces of equipment, three are warrior weapons, three are armor, and one is a wooden staff.
At this time, Edwina and the others had almost agreed. The Ansel family took away the legendary sword, iron shield, armor and belt. Holden obtained the staff and a legendary longbow. As for Donald, after looking at the decapitated Sorge, he chose the legendary giant axe.
While the two were checking, Donald also used the Book of Truth to check, but the result was beyond his expectations.
"Let's wait!"
Just as Holden and the others were planning to take away their legendary equipment, Donald suddenly stopped.
"What? Baron, have you regretted it?" Holden said with a bad face.
Donald smiled slightly.
"Yes! I regret it. This division method is a bit unfair!"
Seeing Holden wanting to speak, Donald immediately continued, "Mr. Thorne, don't worry, I regret it. Of course, there are my own reasons. I didn't check it clearly just now. Among these equipment, not only legendary equipment, but also two are secondary artifact-level existences. The staff in your hand is one of them, and the other one is that belt."
To be continued...
