Chapter 288: Source Diamond

The same kill message pops up four times.

You know, every time you bullet, it means that Charles kills a Construct Lord, but in fact he is standing and does nothing, so he eats tens of thousands of experience for nothing.

Charles, who came to his senses, immediately opened the team panel, and then looked abrupt.

It turns out that Alyssa the Blighter has long been in the queue, and the avatar is in full color, indicating that she is near Charr, and most of the proceeds after killing the monster will go to Charr.

Perhaps, the system has already judged Alyssa to be his entourage, which is like participating in a relic guard mission, and NPCs in the mission state will bring many unexpected benefits to the employer. On the forum, local tyrants from all sides have long been discussing the feasibility of hiring aboriginal high-level professionals to go out of the city to search for experience, and many boosting studios also have this kind of business, which is not unusual, after all, there are still quite a lot of believers in the world wealth goddess Wokin in "Dawn".

"It turned out to be four lord constructing creatures."

When Charles knew the rank of those knight statues, he couldn't help but feel a thrill.

Just a minute ago, he wanted to go toe-to-toe with the Construct Lord, but fortunately, it was only a contact defense, and after breaking his muscles and bones, Alyssa, who had turned into a fierce lion, took care of the powerful enemy for him. Otherwise, Charles felt that he would not be able to kill any of the Construct Lords no matter what.

The lord creatures are different from ordinary creatures, in addition to the rough skin and thick flesh, there are also many specialties and skills that are not shown on the monster card, and now even against the lord monsters below level 10, Charles must go all out, otherwise he may capsize in the gutter at any time because of negligence, and die an unknown death.

"Class: Civilian Lv10 (max) / Priest Lv12 (90%)."

Glancing at the people panel.

76% progress before entering the ruins. It has risen to 90%. Now with only one last bar of experience, Charles can reach level 13.

"These four lords can delay the player's progress in clearing the wasteland for at least a month...... If you don't solve them, it's impossible to get a glimpse of the secrets of the ruins, but the bosses that players can only solve with corpses and wheel battles are nothing more than trash fish and shrimp that can be killed with a little effort in the eyes of the blighters......"

Charles can only feel more than generalization. Players still have a long way to go before they can catch up with the Indigenous professionals.

In short, follow the NPC ass and eat experience. Charles has long been used to it, and besides, it is impossible for him to use magic to attack monsters, so he can only fight hand-to-hand, and his strength has been greatly reduced. With the idea that if he can, he won't make a move, and he will expose fewer flaws, Charles does not refuse to allow Alyssa to take care of the monster for himself.

"Alyssa, can you explain to me what that circle is?" Charles said in a flat voice. He had to try to pretend that a high-ranking high priest was calm and calm in the face of monsters.

"That's what I've been working on for more than ten years."

"Teleportation Array."

"Of course, you can also make it a simple portal."

"Portals?" Charles was really surprised this time. "When did you learn how to make portals...... And portal magic? ”

Charles was not surprised.

The portals that exist on the continent today are all antiques that are some years old. It is not that there are no new portals, but they are few and far between, and they are not well known, because no church organization wants to reveal that there is a portal maker in their hands.

The manufacturing method of short-distance portals is relatively simple, and the materials required are not complicated, and many high-level archmages more or less understand the principles of manufacturing, but kingdom to country, land to land, and even interdimensional portals, if the principle of operation alone is recorded, the compiled books can fill a room.

"This is not a portal for you humans, but a portal for our elves." Alyssa mentioned the word "elf", and there was a hint of pride in her words.

The culture and magic of the ancient elves can indeed make future human empires look up to them.

"Elven high magic?"

Although Alyssa didn't want to say too much, Charles still deduced something, and couldn't help but stare at Alyssa a few times.

"This is a conditionally activated interdimensional portal...... At the other end are the ruins of the Giss Yankees in the Dark Half-Plane, and I've spent years gathering materials to build them...... Now it's only one last condition left to activate this portal......" Alyssa's voice turned deep.

Charles couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Conditional portals are not uncommon, and these conditions vary from the user's faction, status, and profession to circumstances such as sunrise, sunset, full moon, or midnight.

In short, it is not easy to activate the cross-dimensional portal. Although Alyssa had already built a teleportation bridge with the ruins of the bunker and the Gisyankee ruins of the Dark Half-Plane, it had to be activated.

"The conditions are forming......" Alyssa said, Charles following her gaze at the circular circle in front of the dragon statue.

Then Charles found that the red tiles on the edge of the circle were more shining than when they first came in, and the magic runes inside gradually lit up, and the red lines gradually spread towards the center of the circle.

My heart moved.

Charles seems to have grasped the conditions of the portal, but he can't say for sure.

"Soul."

"Blood."

Alyssa stared at the circular circle and said in a low voice, "In Isaac's conspiracy, war and death are indispensable...... Hehe, unfortunately, Isaac didn't know what he was thinking, and actually sent me out to attract the attention of the Cormiers...... Look at how much life has passed and how much blood has been absorbed by the mud in this underground ruin, in the surface world above......"

"Not only here, but on the side of the dark half-plane, I think there was also a fierce battle at this time, otherwise the conditions of the portal would not have been formed so quickly......"

Hearing this, Charles's eyes sank.

The Blighter's inference is correct, tonight, Zhang Ze and other friends will join forces with the Susal Royal Court to attack the dark half-plane, and it is bound to have a large-scale battle with that group of dark cultists.

But even so, it is just a portal, and how can it be said to drain the energy of the soul and the blood of the professional. It's up and running.

And Alyssa seemed to have insight into his thoughts. Still staring at the circle that turned red and glowed. He explained, "Why did I build a portal in the ruins? On Sussar's side, there is the temple left behind by the group of dragon-worshipping mages, and on the other side of the dark half-plane, there is the temple left behind by the Gisyankees......"

"Hehe, the temple is a place where faith gathers, and the soul that has lost its material body will come by itself if it is slightly tempted by something else...... After all, when this portal was built. I've embedded a few of the undead's favorite Yin Stones......" Alyssa's laughter was cold.

Charles was silent.

This portal, built using the advanced magic principles of elves, exudes a slight evil aura, and is obviously not as simple as Alyssa said.

In ancient times, the drow elves had not yet split from the race, and perhaps the manufacturing principle of this evil gate teleportation array was revealed by a certain black skin, and Charles did not want to trace the source, nor did he want to know how the portal absorbed the power of the blood of professionals, because it didn't matter.

"......" Alyssa stopped talking, staring at the portal, waiting for the final formation of the activation conditions.

Charles distracted from the portal. Start searching for the temple.

There are no drops in the pile of remains of the 4 knightly statues.

On the altar of the temple, except for a few scattered metal utensils. Outside of the broken crockpots, there are no other antiques worth picking up and seeing.

However, while looking at the reliefs on the granite walls of the temple, Charles unexpectedly received a system message:

"Ding, you read the religious murals of the Bailong Sect, 'knowledge' skill +1."

If you break it down carefully, 'Religious Knowledge' is a small branch of the 'Knowledge' skill tree, and it is difficult to get 1 skill point even if you read a lot of religious books.

"Click"

Focusing on the fresco, he unconsciously moved to the corner of the temple, and Charles almost slipped as his leather boots stepped on the rubble.

The four corners of the temple were originally the sleeping areas of the statues, and Charles glanced over and suddenly found that there were sunken footprints on the ground that were trampled on by heavy stone creatures, several inches deep.

But strangely, on the wall more than three meters high, just not far above the statue's head, there was a lamp base, and an oil lamp that seemed to never go out was emitting a faint dim yellow light, and there was no fuel in the lamp bowl, only a cotton wick swirling around the flames.

Charles suddenly remembered Alyssa's previous words.

Every once in a while, the statue she shattered seemed to reassemble and resurrect, return to its original place to sleep, and then continue to attack the next group of intruders.

So, what is the force that allows these statues to be resurrected without limit?

The decoration of the temple is very exquisite, and the lamp holder and oil lamp cannot be located here for no reason. Charles felt more and more strange, and couldn't help but activate the flight effect of the 'Eagle Feather Armor', floating off the ground, flying close to the lampholder, and taking a closer look.

"Huh?"

He reached out to move the lamp bowl on the metal pedestal, but the utensils did not move. "It's fixed, this wick ......"

Charles sighed softly, and when he looked closely, he found that the gray-white wick had actually penetrated into the metal pedestal from the bottom of the bowl. After a moment's hesitation, he took out his heavy flail and struck a blow at the candlestick.

After the rumble and dust, several pieces of masonry on this wall had fallen to the ground, but the lampholder and the lamp bowl were actually tightly pulled by a thread, and did not fall, and the jingling bell beat the wall.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Continuing to float in the air, Charles swung his flail and launched a barrage of attacks on the wall.

Finally, after the wall collapsed out of the crater, an irregular yellow crystal, the jingle bell, fell out and rolled to the ground with the lamp holder and the lamp bowl.

Converging his golden wings, Charles landed and picked up the yellow crystal.

"You have obtained [Intermediate Source Diamond (Strange Object)]*1."

Charles casually summoned the item information, and a large purple text was reflected on his retina:

[Intermediate Source Diamond]

Type: Strange Things

Usage: Material

Description: Legend has it that the Master of the Trap can use the Source Diamond to create a self-aware constructed lifeform, or even a Crystal Guardian. But this source diamond was made unrecognizable by the rough use of that group of dragon worship mages, don't let the mechanics see this source diamond, they will cry. (To be continued......)
