Lord of Arcane

Chapter 233 Sapphire Mithril Flower

Buildings will decay, and trees also have a longevity, but rare metals such as fine gold and mithril are hard to decay. It would be even better if we can find some ancient magic tools.

Excavating the ruins is not an easy job. Fortunately, this is not on the earth. There are so many precautions. What Xia Duo wants is to find something valuable. As for the protection of the ruins, he doesn't care so much.

As usual, after setting up magic alarms around the camp and explaining everyone's work arrangements, Xia Duo was relieved to go to the archaeology.

Coming to the vicinity of Mysuo, Xia Duo first checked around,
He didn't set up magic alarms here, but just placed some twigs and fallen leaves pressed by stones in places where the terrain was relatively flat and convenient for people or animals to pass by.

If people or animals pass by, they can be found in time, and if a magic alarm is arranged, it may be more obvious to the caster.

No abnormality was found after inspection, and there were not even traces of animals here.

Entering the Mystery through the big tree that was cut down, although he has passed through it many times these days, every time he passes by, he sighs——

Even more amazing than the portal of the Tower of Time!

The portal of the Tower of Time, or the teleportation of the mage, these will have some movement: the effect on the magic net, and the reaction of the magic net.

Although Xia Duo still doesn't understand, at least he can see some appearances.

And here, there is almost no sense of entering and exiting, as if there is no change in the space, and the transition is very smooth.

Xia Duo was very clear about the principle of Mysuo, it was nothing more than the control of the magic net, but he was completely blinded as to how to control it and why it should be controlled in this way.

This thing is not yet what he wants to study.

Entering from the root of the tree, the location of entering the ruins is the same every time, at the same collapsed and decayed stone wall.

Xia Duo speculates that this place may be a place similar to a teleportation room or an elevator exit. Of course, it may just be because of the loophole of the fan lock. This place is very ordinary.

But in any case, he has decided to put the first search target on the ruins of the building here.

……

Without magic, or even tools at hand, excavating the ruins is really a hassle!
Fortunately, at a glance, most of the ruins here are on the surface, otherwise, it would be really difficult.

I don't know how many years this ruins have existed. The stone walls are already loose. Xia Duo used his shield as a shovel to shovel away the overburden and decay, and then used his sword as a metal detector to slash across it one by one.

When you come across a hard object, pick it out to have a look, if there is no one, just pass it, or plan the grid first like looking for a key in a room, and then search grid by grid.

After a whole day, he only searched an area of ​​less than 40 square meters. Looking at the ruins the size of a football field, Xia Duo became a little numb.

It would take several months to search all of them!

But looking at the harvest of the whole day, Xia Duo is full of energy again, isn't it just a few months' work!Just do it!

There are more than a dozen gems in today's harvest. Almost any gem in the magic world is a collection of elements, full of energy.

For example, ruby ​​is a collection of fire elements, and the caster can guide the energy in it. Whether it is used to cast spells or link to the magic net, it has a wide range of applications.

The former can be made into magic wands and other spell-casting utensils, while the latter is more commonly found in magic circles and scrolls.

The ink needed to make high-level magic scrolls almost always contains gem powder that is fine but still maintains the collection of elements.

In addition, even if there is no additional processing, many gemstones themselves have quite special functions. Xia Duo doesn't know much about this aspect, and the only thing he knows is white crystal.

Just holding it in the hand can provide the caster with concentrated blessing.

Of course, such a good thing is naturally worth a lot. The value of any gemstone exceeds the equivalent volume of gold, and the most expensive one can even exceed dozens of times the equivalent volume of Mithril.

The dozen or so gemstones that Xia Duo searched out from the ruins are all sapphires, the big ones are bigger than eyes, and the small ones are only as small as fingertips.

It is roughly estimated that it can be worth several thousand gold coins. Of course, selling it for money is a bad idea. The best way is to make it into a magic item and sell it. Then the price is not calculated in "thousands".

At least "ten thousand".

As for Xia Duo's batch of gemstones, there is another way, that is to make ornaments. These gemstones are components of the same ornament, but their fixed parts cannot withstand the ravages of time and have long since decayed.

If it can be repaired, it may be worth more than selling magic items.

However, these things are not visible for the time being, so they can only entertain themselves.

In addition to these gems, Xia Duo also found a flower-shaped Mithril trinket, which is not a magic item, but an ordinary Mithril material.

This thing has passed through time, and when it was discovered by Xia Duo, it still maintained a silvery white luster.Just looking at the value of Mithril, this little thing is not worth much.

But it can't stand to be processed by the elves and become a work of art, and it will last forever and be very valuable for collection. People who like it may like it very much. For Xia Duo, that's it.

Of course, the same sentence, this thing is temporarily out of sight.

"Ugh--"

Xia Duo let out a long sigh, but then he couldn't help laughing out loud, he just got cheap and acted like a good boy, but after thinking about it, the value of this relic is so great, he felt that these treasures were a bit hot.

"We must think of a safe way!"

……

Back at the camp, Xia Duo directly threw more than ten sapphires and the small mithril flower into the Wolfburg River. Compared with the camp or other places, the water is his home field.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about being damaged by water, it is safer to throw it in the river, and then take it at any time when it is needed.

On the second day, Xia Duo calculated the time and did not go to Misuo for archaeology, because the "Owen" was about to arrive.

If there is no accident, there should be many people on this trip. If he is not there, it will be very troublesome to hand over.

Just after noon, Qiao Qi shouted and ran over, "The ship is coming, my lord, the 'Lucky Owen' is coming!"

"It's so early!" Xia Duo lifted the curtain and walked out of the small tent.It stands to reason that starting from Savile Town early in the morning should arrive here in the afternoon. Now that the boat arrived early, he couldn't help but ask again:
"Josh, have you seen it clearly?"

"It's true! I saw them setting up their sails, with the emblem of your lord on it!" Qiao Qi said affirmatively.

Xia Duo's emblem is an earth character "Xia" plus a circle around it, which is also the emblem of Daxia's collar. The first thing Qiao Qi and others received training in the port warehouse was to remember to find an emblem.

Xia Duo didn't suspect that Qiao Qi was lying, but since he saw the emblem, it must be the "Lucky Owen", and it even opened its sails!

Zhang Fan?Xia Duo understood, and walked quickly to the water's edge, and really felt a breeze blowing from the north, and saw the "Lucky Owen" sailing to break through the water, and the oars on both sides kept paddling .

In the morning, Xia Duo deliberately checked the direction of the wind. It was indeed the south wind, but unexpectedly it turned to the north wind now.

With the wind and the water, and the hard work of the crew, it is no wonder that it was several hours earlier than normal.
