448 Four Keys
The attraction of a Mithic core is much greater than that of those ethereal treasures.
However, to venture into the Vesura, it is not enough to have such a map as a preparation. The last time Gordon went to the Tanzawa Ruins, he also went through a long and patient and meticulous preparation and intelligence gathering before he left. Moreover, as a place that is more famous in the north of Ferreton and frequented by many adventurers, the Danzawa Ruins are rich in information and relatively easy to prepare.
The secrets of Mount Waisula are not so well known. After all, the Haiwen Peninsula is too remote and still in a half-open state. Few people know the secrets of Mount Waisula, and even fewer have ever entered Mount Waisula. And because this mountain used to be the palace of the Elemental Emperor, the magic traps and defensive magic circles set up in it cannot be compared with the ruins of ordinary dungeons. Among those who have ever entered Mount Waisula, very few have survived.
Therefore, this kind of factor leads to zhì, and the intelligence information about the Waisula Mountain is very scarce, and it is difficult for Gordon to get his hands on it. Even Ion, the god of knowledge, had not personally entered the mountains. He had only learned about the structure of the palace in the Vesoura Mountains through a legendary prophecy spell.
"The four-piece Mandate of Heaven ornament, as well as the four elemental keys needed to enter the core area of the Elemental Emperor's palace in the Vesurayama Mountains, are the things you must get your hands on." Ionn concluded.
He smiled at Gordon as if to say "senior...... Oh no, the gods can only help you get here," and vanished without a trace.
When Gordon came back to his senses, he was now lying in a warm quilt, covered with a soft and light swan quilt.
But he knew that the events of yesterday's life, including Ion's visit, were not a dream. The clear map of Mount Waisula on the floor is impressive.
"Wait until the remnants of House Aldrich are swept away. It's time for me to get ready to go into the mountains. Gordon thought.
It's not that difficult. The Aldrich family's previous rule on the peninsula was based on oppression by force, and the foundation was not strong. Now the backbone of the main body Abel . Aldrich had died in that naval battle. And the two most talented children of the King of Hyven suddenly disappeared without a trace. The entire Aldrich family has no character who can preside over the overall situation.
Now that the backbone of the entire Aldrich family has been completely wiped out by Gordon, the only thing left is to slowly sweep away those ** fallen leaves.
In addition, there are those grassroots bureaucrats sent by the Phoenix family who are familiar with government affairs. The acceptance and reintegration of the Aldrich family's properties is also proceeding steadily.
And the thing that Gordon spends the most time on every day on government affairs is the trial of the list sent from Hernandez.
In the past, the number of inhabitants of the peninsula who were deprived of their property and freedom and became slaves because they were dissatisfied with the rule of the king of Hyven was extremely large. Among these people. There are even some influential indigenous tribal elders or chiefs. Granting these people a pardon to free them would also help Gordon gain more attachment and allegiance, further consolidating his rule over the peninsula.
Dealing with these government affairs, Gordon does not spend too much time every day. He did not have the addiction of the ruling class, but entrusted most things to his subordinates. After all, his original purpose for wanting to acquire a piece of territory. It's just that he wants to provide a material basis for himself on the arcane path. He didn't want to put the cart before the horse and let his status as a lord become a drag on his own spell research.
However, in terms of government affairs, although the progress is smooth, and it does not take too much time. But in the preparation for the exploration of Mount Waisula, Gordon not only consumed a lot of time every day, but also hit a bottleneck and made little progress.
Asaph. Augustus had the title of "Emperor of the Elements". He has a deep understanding and ability to use the four basic elements that make up the entire multiverse: wind, fire, water, and earth. As for other arcane energies derived from the basic elements. For example, the control and use of flames, cold, strong acids, sound waves, etc., are still unmatched grandmaster-level figures.
When he built the palace in the floating city, he used the eight arcane energies as the theme to build the eight fortresses that guarded the palace. Four core palaces were built with the theme of four basic elements.
If Asaph. If Augustus, the founding emperor of the Magic Empire of Netherduran, had any secrets hidden in the Vesura, it must be in these four elemental palaces.
And to enter these four elemental palaces. There must be four elemental keys.
Gordon didn't know which elemental palace the Mithric Core was hiding in, or what it was like about Asaph. The secret of Augustus's quest to become the "god of fate", as well as the information related to his own background and origin, is hidden in which elemental palace.
He wanted to know the truth. To achieve his goal, I'm afraid he will have to explore all four elemental palaces well. But the problem is that now he only has a key to the fire attribute in his hand, and he can only ensure access to the fire element palace.
Aside from knowing that the Key of the Blue Wind was in the hands of the Akhn people, Gordon knew nothing about the whereabouts of the other two keys. Moreover, even the key to the green wind in the hands of the Aikan people is not easy to get. It was a sacred relic of the Aikan people, and he, an "outsider", was not qualified to borrow the key of the green wind.
Perhaps, with the passage of time, the rule of the peninsula by the Earl of Hyven has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has been accepted by the people of Aikan, and he is regarded as his own, and when the time comes, he will borrow the key of the green wind, and perhaps he will be able to obtain consent. But neither Gordon himself nor Mount Waisula could wait for that time.
As for the two options of overt robbery or stealing, they are not in Gordon's consideration for the time being.
"It seems that I will have to take some time to talk to the lady druid and see if I can find a compromise that is acceptable to both parties, and let me borrow the key of the green breeze for the time being."
But the Key of the Green Wind is okay, at least Gordon knows where the key is. As for the other two Earth Elemental and Water Elemental Keys, he was completely confused and didn't know where to start.
But Gordon didn't go all the way down the road. In the past, when dealing with the evil spirits in Strindberg, Gordon once told the female knight Sigrid that when solving things, sometimes a different way of thinking might have a miraculous effect.
So this time, Gordon is also going to use another way of thinking to solve the problem of elemental keys.
"Since I can't find the original goods, then I'll make my own zuò copycat goods. As long as I can use it to help me enter the palace in the mountains of Waisula, I will be considered to have achieved my goal. ”
That's what Gordon intended.
The others were given the four elemental keys, which were antiques from the days of the Magic Empire of Netherduran, and were related to the Elemental Emperor, and they were likely to immediately collect them as treasures, and then they would have painstakingly searched for their origin and purpose.
Just like the Aikan people, they regard the key of the green wind as a tribal holy relic that can control the climate and ensure a good harvest of farmland.
And Gordon actually wants to knock off these elemental keys, which is indeed incredible.
However, Gordon has this plan, not whimsically, but with his own certainty.
He was accompanied by a servant from the Nether era who could be seen as a mobile number of jùku. Gordon believed that Brian's body must have stored a lot of information about the elemental keys - such as the materials of those keys and how they were made.
In addition, Gordon also has a magical room built by the Great Arcanist of Nether. The buildings underneath the Sea Cliff Fort are probably like holy places in the eyes of many spellcasters today. Those sophisticated and efficient magical equipment with unheard of designs will be envied even by high-level mages of the ** ring.
Gordon even felt that it was too much waste to monopolize such a powerful magic room with his arcane skills as a five-ring mage.
With these powerful supports, Gordon gave birth to the idea of his own copycat elemental key.
After taking care of some business in the morning, Gordon had lunch with the guests and then took his sin and left. He called Brian, then went to the underground chamber and took out the fire element key he had obtained from the Blackwater Swamp.
Brian manipulated his metal shell and lifted the Fire Elemental Key to the control room on his abdomen. Since there were no outsiders, Brian opened the metal plate on the armor's belly so that he could see the appearance of the Fire Elemental Key with his own eyes. After all, compared to using the magic image projected by the crystal, you can see it more clearly and carefully with your own naked eyes.
After carefully studying it for a while, the pink meat ball said: "Master, in the era of the Magic Empire of Netherduran, this kind of elemental key was not uncommon. The materials they are made of are just the most common iron. However, on the surface of the key, a very special layer is attached, which can absorb elemental energy, and it will not be exhausted for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. ”
After knowing the details of the key, Gordon then asked, "What I want to know most is, with my current ability and equipment, can I make a substitute for this key?" I need at least one Earth Key and one Water Key. ”
Brian held up two fleshy tentacles and said, "To make a substitute for this elemental key, the master needs a high-purity gem rich in the corresponding elemental energy. At today's prices, I estimate that it will cost you at least 40,000 gold coins. ”
"Money, money...... It's money ...... again," Gordon sighed to himself. He felt uncomfortable at the thought that he would have to pay a large chunk of his Earl's vault to go out.
"It seems that the matter of making money has to be put on the agenda. It's not okay to sit and eat like this. If it's always like this, a few projects that need to spend a lot of money suddenly pop up from time to time, and your little money can't stand the toss at all. ”
