Arcane Lord

"Sir, the sky here is the sky outside." Xia Duo took the initiative to introduce.

Previously on the ship, he introduced the situation of the Mystic Relics to Lord Epps, but there were some omissions. Now that he saw Lord Epps looking up at the sky, Shado thought he had doubts about the sky here.

However, Lord Epps had no reaction to his words. It took a long time before he said, "The magic network here has been artificially reconstructed. It is really an amazing skill!"

"..."

"You can move around on your own, and I'll check the environment inside the mystery lock!"

After saying that, Epps used the [Flying Technique], soared into the sky, and flew away into the distance.

After Lord Epps left, Shado immediately took out his notes and recorded the spellcasting process of Lord Epps just now. The process was very short.

Although it was just a glance, it was enough for Xia Duo to note down several insignificant [Flying Technique] elements.

Even if Lord Epps is willing to act as a spell-casting machine for him and keep casting spells, he can completely deduce the [Flying Technique].

But now, even just a few insignificant elements can help him avoid detours when researching [Flying Technique] in the absence of information.

Not only that, Shado was inspired by the spell cast by Lord Epps just now, and he could also buy [Flying Technique] scrolls in large quantities.

Encryption is not foolproof. The essence of magic is the operation of the magic network. As long as this essence remains unchanged, then encryption will only make it more expensive to crack.

Whether it is to decipher scrolls or create new magic, what is needed is an understanding of the nature of the magic network and the principles of magic. In this regard, Sha Duo has never relaxed.

It's just that Xia Duo hasn't thoroughly studied [Levitation Technique] yet, so buying a [Flying Technique] scroll and then cracking the magic is just a backup option.

Maybe, he himself can deduce [Flying Technique] from the series of spells [Mage's Hand]!

Putting away his notes, Shado thought of another question. Although Lord Epps's spellcasting process just now was very short, he still saw it——

That [Flying Technique] is not just a 3-level magic, but has been upgraded like Shado's upgrade of [Mage Armor].

And this also made Xia Duo certain that his upgrade path had not gone astray!

…

Lord Epps flew away, and Xia Duo did not take any time off. He first tried the Yuan Bag and found that it could be used normally.

You must know that the last time he entered the Mystery Lock, the dimensional bag was still unusable. Perhaps this was a precursor to the Mystery Lock's collapse!

It was useless to think too much. Xia Duo took out his shovel, randomly found a "grid" that he had not searched before, and started searching.

Of course, all this was done for Lord Epps to see. Xia Duo told him in this way - I have done this before. Maybe I picked up some things, but if your family has a big business, don't worry about it!

In addition, it also reminds him that the ruins are given to you, but the benefits cannot be less.

At first, Xia Duo was just showing off, but digging for treasures is addictive. As he kept digging, he became more and more devoted.

when--

A dull and short sound of metal collision woke up Xia Duo. When he came to his senses, he found that he had dug an area of ​​2 or 3 square meters.

The deepest point is only half a foot, and it has already reached the bottom stone slab. The sound of metal collision just now was that his shovel hit a metal object.

If it can be preserved after such a long time, it must be a treasure. It's just a matter of how much it is worth.

Xia Duo used a shovel to dig into the dirt he had just shoveled out. There was another sound of metal collision, and the real owner was picked out, revealing his true face——

It was a palm-sized, gray ball, with a hint of silver-white metallic luster showing in the details.

As soon as he saw this thing, Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh. He took out the water bag from the dimensional bag and poured it out. The debris on the ball was washed away, revealing more luster.

At this time, it can already be seen that this is a hollow mithril ball!

Before this, he had already discovered one. This thing seemed to be of high value, but it was not a magic item. For Xia Duo, it was just a mithril raw material.

Unless a suitable buyer can be found, it can be sold at a premium as an elf craft.

Otherwise, this little mithril would not be worth much at all. (It is not uncommon for the price of mithril and fine gold to be 10 times that of gold. Of course, there will occasionally be a premium because there is no market, but the premium will not be too high.)

But no matter what, something gained is much better than nothing. Xia Duo picked up the mithril ball and continued to rinse it with water until the gaps inside could be seen.

At this moment, Lord Epps descended from the sky with the sound of wind, and at a glance he saw the shining hollow mithril ball in Shado's hand. With the trace on the ground, there was no doubt that it was dug here.

"Nice elf toy!" Seeing Shado about to hand over the mithril ball, Epps waved his hand, "Just keep it."

No matter what is in this ruins, in Epps's eyes, it is not as good as plane crystals. With plane crystals, there are endless possibilities.

What's more, it's just a mithril product, so he wouldn't be so greedy.

"Let's go out first!"

The two quickly crossed the boundary between decay and vitality at the edge of the ruins, and arrived outside the mystery lock. Epps took out the communication weapon, fiddled with it, and then said to Shado:

"Next, I will study the composition of the Mystery Lock in the ruins. During this time, you can come to the Mystery Lock to search for valuable items, and at the same time report the changes in the water element environment outside. As for your reward for reporting the Mystery Lock ruins, etc. I'll give it to you when I return to the Tower of Time."

Xia Duo wanted to say no, but he couldn't say no, so he could only agree, but at the same time he also raised his own question: "Sir, is it dangerous if the Myth Lock collapses?"

"You can leave at any time if you sense danger." At this moment, Epps was full of confidence. He had read the letter left by his grandfather. He believed that as long as there were plane crystals in the ruins, he would definitely be able to find it.

If you can’t find it, then you don’t have it!

And this didn't take long. Out of his superstitious belief in the power of the Grand Arcanist, he believed that if his grandfather had really considered this issue, then this matter would definitely be within his ability to deal with it.

Now that Lord Epps had said so, Shado couldn't say anything else. He just made up his mind that as long as the water element environment outside changed to a certain extent, he would run away regardless of whether the Mystery Lock collapsed or not.

It is not a wise move for him, a small mid-level mage, to get involved in this kind of thing. The only way to stay safe is to hide in the Tower of Time as soon as possible.

…

In the next few days, Xia Duo went to the Mysuo ruins every day for archeology, and reported on the changes in the water element environment in the outside world.

Lord Epps seemed to have been well prepared for this exploration, and he released a large number of magic items of unknown purpose.

At first, Shado only thought that he was studying the Mystic Lock, but as time passed, the look on Lord Epps's face began to become anxious.

Xia Duo didn't dare to ask any more questions, or even dare to stay in the mystery lock for longer, for fear of offending him. Later, every time Xia Duo reported on the water element situation, he just dug a few shovels and quickly exited the mystery lock.
