Chapter 552: The Opening of Ulduar (7)
Help me recall the Death Mine Treasure Trove we found in the beginning, and how did we find the treasure in the end? Asher frowned, he couldn't remember.
It is said that with Asher's memory, he should not even be unable to remember this thing from a year ago, after all, when he went a year ago, Ashur still remembers it quite clearly, but since becoming a leader, he has too many facts to think about, and it is impossible to write down everything in detail.
The Brotherhood of Defia always seems to like to hide treasure in mines and pits.
"I don't remember exactly, but I remember that we found a lot of things, but it seems that the location of the treasure is not the hardest to find. What is hard to find is the key to unlock the treasure. Vivien recalled.
Ashur thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, when they had been walking around the Death Mine and the beaches of the Western Wilderness for a long time, just to find the stone slab, and finally relied on it to open the treasure chamber.
If you really want to find a location, Asher can turn on legendary magic or insight skills, and as long as you don't worry about alarming the cavemen, it only takes a few minutes to peek into the entire nooks and crannies of the mine. The location of the treasure is really not difficult to find, but the difficulty is the location of the key.
Even if he knew, he might be guarded by monsters, and it would be difficult to get it.
"You go down first, I'll sort it out here." Asher frowned and said to Vivien, then hovered in mid-air.
In fact, in his previous life, Ashur knew a lot of information about the Brotherhood of Defia in more detail, and that adventure actually brought a lot of new secrets to Asher. But time flies, and now Asher has mostly forgotten about it, and he needs to organize and reminisce about it.
Asher stood in mid-air and closed his eyes. Begin to search carefully through your memories little by little.
His memory is naturally not bad, and forgetting it is only temporary, otherwise he would have forgotten how much of the previous information he had forgotten after being reborn for so long. But in fact, Asher remembered most of the information firmly.
Bit by bit, the memories surfaced in Asher's mind and reappeared in front of his eyes. Some details and doubts in the expedition a year ago slowly recalled-
The mysterious death of the great thief Edwin. Van Cleef ......
The Brotherhood of Defia, which was affected by the Scourge of the Dead, eventually fell into extreme decay......
The mysterious revenge object of the Goblin Engineer Monster Cry before dying......
"Captain" Cookie......
Gnome Thieves, Shadow Guardians......
Asher stood in mid-air for a long time, and finally opened his eyes suddenly and gasped!
I don't think he still remembers, but when he thinks about it, he is instantly startled.
Ashur hurriedly opened the communication crystal, and at the end of the friend list, he found the Explorer Master Bronze Boots, who had not been in touch for a long time, and was also the teammate who explored the Death Mine with Asher and Vivien.
In the past half a year, after the Demon God Throne, Ashur has gradually lost contact with the Bronze Boots, but the Rose Wind and the Territory Guild of the Tower of Twilight under the Tower of Twilight have cooperated closely with him, and the Bronze Boots have become a master-level traveler as in Ashur's memory, just like Nanalia is to engineering.
"Is it there? I would like to consult you about something. ”
There was silence on the communication crystal for a long time before a slightly surprised voice suddenly appeared.
"Asher? What do you want to do with me? Brass Boots said in amazement.
At this time, he was exploring an ancient Titan ruin on the storm cliffs of the Far North Continent, he had been following the clues of this mission for a long time, and had discovered two amazing places in succession, and he had a hunch that he would discover a big secret that shocked the world!
Ashur didn't have the heart to catch up with him and greet him, so he just said, "I have a question for you, do you remember the treasure of Phia that we explored together?" ”
"Of course I remember, I searched many times later, trying to find other treasure locations, but to no avail, what's the matter, you found it? Why don't you bring me? The bronze boots suddenly became excited.
"Well, you listen to me first." Asher couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
In addition to being a great traveler, Bronze Boots is also a very stubborn and fanatical researcher and researcher, and he is fascinated by the mysteries of Kadolin, and he has even been running for months to solve a mystery for no profit.
When Ashur initially determined the itinerary, the reason why he didn't bring him was because he thought that Bronze Boots was not a combat adventurer after all, and he could use the skills of those great travelers to explore it himself, and if he was with Ashur and a group of epic masters, the two sides would definitely not be in tune.
Last time in the Death Mine, Bronze Boots himself was able to dig a hole and get into it directly, but he could only sneak in through the main entrance with Vivien and Asher.
Brass Boots calmed down and waited for Asher to continue.
"Didn't we find a lot of suspicions when we were in the Death Mine, the biggest one is that the Brotherhood of Defia buried these treasures, but in fact, some of their members are still alive, and they would rather decay to the extreme than take them, and they also have a mysterious object of revenge. I've always felt like they're hiding or protecting something. Asher said.
He is not a party of historical research and research, and the study of these is also from the perspective of interests, and Asher covets these treasures very much, but first of all he has to make sure that his income is clean and will not cause any trouble.
。
"You're right. I've also been working on it. Speaking of the secret of Bronze Boots' interest, he suddenly became excited, "After leaving the Death Mine, I have been running around collecting information about the Brotherhood of Defia, and then I have come to the conclusion that Van Cleef may not be dead!" ”
Ashur suddenly had a black line.
Of course, this sentence is nonsense, or the Bronze Boots are mistaken, because he has seen Vivien summon Van Cleef's will to descend, if Van Cleef is not dead. This skill can't exist, and it's impossible for the mythical revenge thorn twin swords to recognize the master otherwise.
"Do you have any other conclusions?" Asher asked.
"Yes, I found out that the Brotherhood of Defia actually had a hostile force a long time ago. This organization is even more secretive than Defia, so that few adventurers know about it. Brass Boots said and sent a pattern to Asher, "Look at this emblem, I found it from a dead thief. I've been researching what it is. ”
Ashur opened the communication crystal and received the pattern from the bronze boots, just looking at it. I just stayed there.
This emblem, Ya Xiu recognized it at a glance, and not only recognized it, it was simply too familiar!
This is the emblem of a syndicate thief.
During the Van Cleeff era, the two main prestige organizations of thieves in the Cardolin were Ravenhold Manor, and the rival syndicate thieves, most of whom had to choose one of them as their main reputation, so that they could get different rewards for being hostile to the other faction.
But in fact, the Syndicate did not exist in the first place, he was left over from the War of the Dead, and was gradually discovered by adventurers, and at the beginning, most of the thieves thought that they had to choose Ravenhold Manor, and later the Syndicate existed.
To most people, this thief organization is just a rumor, and it is not sure whether it exists at all, and at this stage, only Asher, the inheritor, should know about them.
"Who is the owner of this emblem?" Asher asked quietly.
"I don't know, but when I found the body, he was besieged to death by a group of high-ranking thieves of the Brotherhood of Defia, so I waited for them to leave, and then took the sheep by the hand, hehe." Brass Boots smirked.
"Alright, thank you, I've got the answer." Asher said that he was about to hang up the communication crystal.
He was anxious now, because he had realized something.
"Hey, wait, you know something, tell me first......"
Before the Bronze Boots could finish speaking, Ashur hung up the communication crystal, which immediately made the Bronze Boots in the Storm Cliff blush, and after a while, cursed angrily.
"Damn, it's really unkind."
But soon, he collected his mood, turned around, and looked at the thick snow peak ice cap in front of him, and under the continuous icebergs, a delicate and huge gate faintly revealed its outline, and the half of the body of a Titan god revealed ice cubes, making the eyes of the bronze boots shine.
"Ulduar, I'm coming!"
Asher turned off the communication crystal, and it didn't stop for a moment
Flying swiftly into the abyss below, he wanted to catch up with Vivien, Elegy, and Artoria and get them to stop their rash actions first.
Because these treasures are likely to no longer belong to the declining Defia Brotherhood, or perhaps no longer belong to the ownerless, they may encounter some unexpected dangers.
Ashur flew down the darkness all the way, but he never saw the shadow of his teammates, and he couldn't help but get more and more nervous, and finally couldn't help but open the team channel and asked, "Vivian, Artoria, where are you two?" How come I can't find you? ”
Asher waited a long time to hear Vivien's response.
"We're in the coordinates of the mine, and Artoria is seriously injured and weakened." Vivien said indifferently, "That elegy, it's already gone, I don't know where it is now." ”
Ashur's pupils suddenly shrank, his heartstrings tightened, and he suddenly accelerated and flew downward. Soon came to the mine path that Vivien had mentioned, and Ashur got in, waved his staff and turned on the light dance, and at a glance saw Artoria sitting against the rock wall of the mine tunnel, and Vivien standing on the side with a cold face.
"What's going on, how can you be seriously injured and weak?" Ashur approached Artoria, crouched down and frowned.
At this time, Artoria had her back against the wall, the Titan Shield and the Sword of the Gods had been removed, and there were blood stains on the silver armor, and she saw Asher coming. Rubbing his forehead, he said, "I was attacked just now, and it was done by a thief, but it shouldn't be the elegy." ”
There were blood stains on Artoria's advance, obviously not lightly beaten by a smack, and the armor in the lower abdomen was even twisted and dented, obviously suffering a kidney blow, and the sneak attack was very strong.
Vivien, who was next to her, had been silent until she interjected:
"He knows a lot more than we think. The elegy directs us to stop here, but as soon as we enter the mine, a thief attacks Artoria, and he runs away from me while I fight back. I just looked and he may have climbed down the rock wall, and the sneak attacker also ran away. ”
"We should take the doves with us." Asher shook his head.
Serious injuries and weakness are the critical point of life. will leave the adventurer with a short period of weakness. Weakness must be dispelled with healing spells, magic spells, or items.
"Who is the thief who attacked us, the epic thief we met in the Ashes, or something else?" Vivien wondered.
After all, the Golden Knight Artoria is a god-level master on the hero list, and he is still the number one warrior in Kadolin, Vivien is not sure of his victory, but the thief easily injured and weakened him in two or three moves, this is not a technical advantage, this is pure strength crushing!
"It's not an adventurer thief, it's a long-lived thief, or a humanoid monster." Asher said in a deep voice.
"Monsters?" Vivien and Artoria were stunned, "Defia thieves? ”
"No, the Brotherhood of Defia doesn't have such high-level thieves right now, it's not Ravenhold Manor, it's another group of thieves, if I guessed correctly, they are now guarding and occupying this mine, and they have the treasure of Defia, and Elegy has known this for a long time." Asher explained.
"Then what did he bring us here for, since he wanted to get rid of us, why didn't he come himself."
"Because he knows that we also want treasures, and he can't solve these powerful humanoid monsters by himself, so he wants to use our power to drive away obstacles." Asher's eyes gradually deepened.
The elegy's abacus played very well, if Ashur himself came with him, he would probably wait until he found the treasure before turning his face with Ashur, but now that there were three people in the Tower of Dusk, he was not sure, so he simply threw off Ashur and the three at the initial stage.
Anyway, even if Ashur knew his intentions, he would not give up looking for the treasure, and would still take his teammates all the way to find the secret room and the location of the treasure, and the elegy might stay there, waiting for Ashur to open the secret room for him, and then wait for the opportunity to take something.
"So what do we do now, give up, without the message of that thief, we will not be able to move an inch, and it is very likely that we will end up making a wedding dress for someone else." Artoria reluctantly stood up and said with a wry smile, "And even if I drink the ultimate healing potion now, it will take about ten minutes to move freely. ”
"We'll wait here, ten minutes, until your weakened state is over." Asher was silent for a moment, then decided, "In short, without us, Elegy can't complete the treasure hunt by himself, since we have already come, we naturally want to take the treasure, as long as we are careful not to be attacked by Elegy at the last moment." ”
The reversal of the elegy was not at all surprising, but it was earlier than Asher had expected, and he never really put the thief on the list of credibles.
"If he dares to come out and make trouble, I will kill him with my own hands." Vivien said in a deep voice.
When Elegy escaped just now, there were only two members of the Tower of Twilight present, Artoria was attacked and fell into a coma, Vivien couldn't take care of the syndicate thief, plus an elegy, and could only watch Elegy escape.
This also made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, no one can fool us yet." Asher smiled faintly.
The Emperor of Order?
A very powerful god-level master, however, choosing to be the enemy of the Tower of Dusk is still asking for hardship, and the Tower of Dusk is the most lacking and the least fearful, that is, the god-level master, because their god-level master is stronger!
"Artoria will drink the potion first and wait until the weak state is over, Vivien will protect him, and I will investigate the situation." Ashur said as he walked towards the exit of the mine.
Since just now, he has always kept the detection of humanoid creatures outcast, cavemen, elegiac and syndicate thieves are all humanoid creatures, and using this spell here, with his strength, should be perfectly sure to know the movements of anyone who approaches.
Just when Ashur walked to the exit of the mine and released the detection humanoid creature again, he was stunned.
He sensed the feedback from the magic steadily, and suddenly laughed helplessly.
A large group of legendary cavemen of the ancient bloodline, a dangerous epic syndicate thief, and an elegy for the Emperor of Thieves who lurks somewhere, Asher had thought that this situation full of enemies was chaotic enough, enough for him to have a headache and be careful to consider for a while.
But now, in this mine, there is another force.
These people are famous adventurers!
