Chapter 458: The Ruins of Karlovenci
【Fario's Magic Detection Tray】
Temporary quest items.
With the mastery and specialization of space magic, the heroes of the prophetic lineage finally made this magical prop, which can effectively detect the nodes and channels of space magic.
Note: The secret magic props of the Prophet cannot be claimed repeatedly, and the mission will fail after being lost.
"According to the classics, the seal of Kalovenci City should be a V-level double moon sealing rune, which is indestructible. But since the Mentor was able to enter and leave Karlovenci City, it proved that there was a problem with Karlovenci's seal. Come to think of it, it should be because of some accident that led to the emergence of space nodes or channels that can connect with the outside world. With this prop present, you should have a good chance of finding the target as long as you search carefully. ”
The words of the new prophet lifted Zhao Dingguo's spirits.
As early as when they were speculating with their mentor Garo, the two had struggled with how to find the passage to Karlovenci. Because there was no effective means, although Zhao Dingguo was quite tempted by the possible fragments of the Origin Crystal Nucleus there, he kept his heart moving, and did not search aimlessly. But this time, with this magical detection tray, it was no longer a dream to find the passage into Karlovenci.
I didn't expect that the prophet in front of me could actually give him such a thing,
Zhao Dingguo guessed that the newly appointed prophet couldn't leave, and secondly, he was anxious about his lack of strength and wanted to urgently improve his strength. Therefore, he used the means of inducement, hoping that he could help him find a way to enter Karlovingci. As for why it has to be him, I'm afraid it's because it involves fragments of the origin crystal nucleus. The fewer people who know, the better. Zhao Dingguo was one of the parties involved, so it was naturally better to ask someone else for the time being to find him directly.
This speculation is not entirely correct, but it is very close to the truth.
In short, after issuing a task to Zhao Dingguo, the new prophet was worried that Zhao Dingguo would have an accident, so he repeatedly emphasized a few points to him. For example, you must keep this matter secret, and you must come back and report to Karlovenci as soon as you find out about it. As for the reason, it sounds like that. Once the matter of rash investigation is made public. will cause the intervention of the upper echelons of the Guards Corps. In the latter's case, even the Prophet died inside, which shows that the city of Karlovingch is very dangerous. So for the sake of Zhao Dingguo's safety. You must not sneak in.
Coercion, temptation, and intimidation, and if you change to an unwitting supergod user, you will be firmly controlled by him.
But. Zhao Dingguo, who knows a lot of inside information, already has a complete idea - when it comes to the secret realm, as well as a fragment of the origin crystal nucleus that is likely to exist and can make the plot powerhouse crazy, Zhao Dingguo will naturally choose to maximize the benefits!
As for the new prophet, he had no choice but to do so.
After finally listening to the prophet's chatter, Zhao Dingguo withdrew from the study respectfully. He didn't see the cold glint in the prophet's eyes as he walked out of the room, and the longing and ambition. However, the newly appointed prophet did not expect it either. Zhao Dingguo, who walked out of the study, was also sneering in his heart.
Karlovenci City?
Recalling the relevant records he saw in the rare book library, Zhao Dingguo became deeply curious about the lost swan song. After collecting more detailed information, Zhao Dingguo came to Qingxue City from the teleportation array of the World Tree Base Camp, and then set off from here.
There is no way to do it, because of the fall of Karlovenci. There are no other waypoints nearby. If you want to reach the ruins, the closest way is from Zhao Dingguo's initial teleportation point, Qingxue Castle.
If you look at the world map of the main plane, the distance between Sunny Snow City and Karlovenci is only very close, as if it can be reached in the blink of an eye. However, if you really walk it, you will find that the more than 300 miles are definitely not close. Even with the perverted physical fitness of supergod users. It also takes more than half a day to travel without eating or drinking. What's more, three hundred miles is just a straight-line distance, and the actual road is farther than this number, and there are monsters attacking ......... the road from time to time.
By the time we actually arrived near the ruins of Karlovenci, it was already time to enter the main plane the following week.
In order to investigate here, Zhao Dingguo even gave up the opportunity to overthrow Glitter this time. For this reason, he was still a little uneasy along the way, for fear that Glitter, who hadn't dropped the Extreme Orb for six weeks, would secretly explode while he was away. Fortunately, he only got the news when he returned to the real world afterwards, and this week, Glitter still didn't lose anything.
This result made the masters of the Illuminati very frustrated, but it comforted Zhao Dingguo's heart.
Of course, Zhao Dingguo didn't know the news at this moment, but the ruins of Karlovenci were close at hand, and the attraction of the fragments of the origin crystal nucleus made him temporarily throw aside the Glitter of the Mage's Secret Realm.
After continuing to walk a few hundred meters, Zhao Dingguo rushed out of the nearby lush woods and came to an empty wasteland.
This vast wasteland is vast as far as the eye can see, and it is overgrown with yellow barren grass about a meter high. In the middle of the moor, a small river can be seen flowing through it. Reeds and artemisia grow beside the creek, which dot the moor with a dot of green. Perhaps it was because there were still curious aborigines and supergod users who had come to explore here from time to time over the years, so a flat and winding path could still be faintly visible in the middle of the wasteland under the weight of their footprints.
After comparing the information found in advance with the map for a long time, Zhao Dingguo determined that this was the ruins of the city of Karlovingci.
It's just that the original second-tier town has been permanently banished to the underground lake below the wasteland.
Where do you start?
Faced with such a big place, Zhao Dingguo was a little confused and didn't know where to start. And, according to some of the Aboriginal people who have explored it, this seemingly peaceful wasteland is actually full of dangers. If you are alone, you can easily be killed by the monsters of the wasteland that infest here.
You must know that the monsters of the Karlovenci ruins are at least the strength of the Rising Sun level, and the powerful elite leader rank is even comparable to the Dusk high rank.
Although cautious and cautious, after standing on a high slope and looking at it for a long time, Zhao Dingguo still firmly took the first step towards the ruins.
The city of Karlovingch has been banished to an underground lake. Therefore, Zhao Dingguo's first step was not to use magic to detect the tray, but to find a passage into the underground lake first. Once you're in the underground lake, it's time to use the tray to discover the passage nodes.
But how easy is it to find a possible passage through such a vast wasteland?
More than one meter of wild grass here has become the biggest obstacle to discovering the passage. Moreover, the monsters that may exist in the wasteland have also wasted a lot of Zhao Dingguo's efforts. Fortunately, he still has the Silky Elves who can help open his vision, which can save him a lot of trouble - but also because he has reached a certain level of control over the Silky Elves, and will not let the flame energy leak out easily. Otherwise, when he had just obtained the bloodline, he really didn't dare to summon the Silk Elves here, for fear that one would accidentally cause a fire in the wasteland!
Although, from a certain point of view, a fire to burn the wild grass here is an extremely easy action. But out of such and such concerns, he still didn't dare to do such a thing in the end. At the very least, none of the aborigines before him had resorted to such tactics. Zhao Dingguo didn't dare to cross it at will, so he could only find it hard in the wasteland.
Fortunately, it's not really a clue about this kind of thing.
After a casual walk around to no avail, Zhao Dingguo quickly turned his attention to the shallow river in the middle of the wasteland. If you're not mistaken, it's likely that this somewhat abrupt river is fed by an underground lake. This means that if you follow the river all the way to its source, there is likely to be a passage into the underground lake nearby.
This speculation is still very reliable. …,
However, when he really walked to the river and began to trace the origin, Zhao Dingguo found trouble. Although the existence of monsters on the main plane, dropping equipment, and refresh are inexplicable problems in themselves, it has to be said that they also have a real side, that is, they need water. Therefore, the only source of water in this wasteland has become the place where monsters are most concentrated.
Zhao Dingguo had just walked a hundred meters to the river, and the barren grass that grew almost to his waist shook sharply.
Soon, a monster that looked like a jackal, but was one size bigger and had green spots on its skin, sprang out of the grass. It stared at Zhao Dingguo from afar, let out a low cry from its mouth, and put on a posture that was ready to pounce at any time.
After feeling its strength and finding that it was only roughly the breath of the first stage of dusk, Zhao Dingguo relaxed slightly.
Because he was worried that the battle would attract nearby monsters, Zhao Dingguo had the idea of a quick battle from the beginning. Without waiting for the jackal to take the initiative to attack, Zhao Dingguo and the silk elf took the lead in attacking it.
At the same time as the armor-piercing skill is activated, a rapid cooldown also descends on its body.
It can be seen that the defense of this peculiar jackal is not very high. After being attacked by Zhao Dingguo and the silk elves, his blood volume dropped significantly. However, at the moment when the control of the rapid cooling ended, this guy immediately used an extremely dexterous pace to dodge the elemental missile that Zhao Dingguo had hit, and bypassed the silk elf and launched a pounce on him.
The opponent's counterattack also looks very sharp.
Although the speed of this guy's instant burst exceeded Zhao Dingguo's, Zhao Dingguo was not too worried, but steadily retreated, while predicting the opponent's next landing point, and attacked in advance. Although this monster is very cunning, and even knows how to temporarily adjust its body shape in mid-air, it can't dodge all of Zhao Dingguo's attacks after all. However, just when it was about to rush to Zhao Dingguo's side and prepare to launch an attack triumphantly, Zhao Dingguo's strong attack hurricane struck!
This skill immediately swept the monster that was ready to pounce into the sky. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
