Elven Survival Manual

Chapter 165 The Ruins

As early as half a month ago, Tektero had already completed the task of detecting the demonic energy and was about to return to Kamdor. Before leaving, he received a message from the puppet raven, knowing that the demon king would go to the capital of Posenaka later. , They turned their horses and went to Naka Seton first, and arranged a place to wait for the arrival of the devil.

Once settled down, the Demon King asked Tektero about the results of this investigation.

Tektero has always been cautious in doing things. He took pictures of the whole process when he was exploring the ruins. Now after these images are filtered out the useless parts, the special scenes left behind are played in front of the devil.

There is nothing wrong with this ruin itself. As the information says, it is indeed the residence of a magician thousands of years ago. The things inside have already disappeared in the river of time, and the only thing left is as early as Clive last time. It was sent to the Magic Union during the investigation, and what was left was just a dilapidated ruin, completely worthless.

But in the eyes of other people, the ruins are worthless, but in the eyes of monsters, there is something inside.

Before entering the ruins, Tektero sensed the existence of demon energy, which is very rare, but enough to affect the surroundings. The entire ruins are now surrounded by no grass, no birds and animals. According to the nearby villagers, this piece of land It's like being cursed, as long as you step into it, you will get sick. Many people came here before without belief and evil, but they were seriously ill after returning, and no one dared to approach it again.

The reason why people get sick is naturally those evil spirits.

Clive, who led the way, said, "It wasn't like this when I came here."

At that time, although the neighborhood was very secluded, there were still insects in the grass on the ground. Unlike now, the entire land is black, but there is no life at all.

Moreover, standing here, he could feel something go from the soil through the shoes to the soles of his feet, and the coolness climbed up his whole body, but unexpectedly, it was not uncomfortable. Instead, it was like drinking a glass of cold well water in midsummer, and his whole body felt cold. There is a sense of comfort.

When I came last time, I didn't feel this way.

"It's magic energy." Tektero squatted down to check the condition of the land, and by the way grabbed a handful of black soil and put it in a bottle and put it away.

The witch Lilia explained to the two new demons with her long hair curled around her ears: "The demonic energy is like a poison to other creatures, and it will cause adverse reactions when it touches a little bit, and some of them will even go crazy and lose their minds directly. Clear, but this is a good thing for us, as long as it is not excessive, absorbing some black rain that can strengthen the body, is a bit similar to the black rain of the magic castle."

Monsters were originally born from the magic energy. For them, the magic energy is a tonic.

She glanced at Clive: "So your luck is really good. I haven't seen a few people who can resist the magic energy and successfully transform into a monster in all these years."

Indeed, Clive felt lingering fears when he thought about his past experiences. If he hadn't been physically special, he might have gone mad and died immediately after encountering the demonic energy.

And if he hadn't met the devil, Randy would have been killed by him.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Randy turned his head and smiled at him, comforting him silently.

Clive felt warm in his heart, returned a smile, and then thought of another question: "But at that time, except for me, no one else had any problems."

"That's because there wasn't so much magic energy here at that time." Tektero stood up: "Go in and have a look, and take the route you walked before."

Clive led the way. The road here was not complicated. He thought about it, and soon remembered the original route. He led the monsters around, and finally stopped in front of a room.

"This was the last room that was inspected at that time. There was nothing in it, it was empty, so I was the only one who went in to see it."

It has been too long, the entire ruins are located at the bottom, and it has not completely collapsed because most of its structure is made of stone, but things like the door have long since rotted away. Without the door, the situation in the room is clear at a glance, just like Clay What my husband said, there is nothing, and I don't know what it was used for.

Tektero entered the room first, took out a small object and threw it on the ground.

"What's that?" Clive secretly asked a knight beside him.

"Puppet spider, a detector that can capture the source of magic energy."

I saw the black metal ball-like thing rolling on the ground for a few times, then suddenly stretched out eight slender legs, and transformed into a black puppet spider, making a rattling sound and moving quickly on the ground.

The puppet spider circled the room, and finally stopped at a corner, squatting there motionless.

"It should be here." Tektero walked to the corner and checked the wall, but there was no sign of any mechanism.

Clive said: "I also checked at the time, there is no mechanism in this room."

"No agency doesn't mean no secrets."

Lilia walked to Tektero with Miaoman's steps, kicked the corner of the wall with her slender high heels, and said, "Break it directly and look inside."

Tektero raised his hand, and with an epee on his back, he directly smashed the wall made of stones.

Behind the collapsed stone, a black hole as tall as a man was exposed.

"It should have been blocked directly afterwards."

"Go down and have a look."

The cave is very dark, there are steps on the ground, and the road can't be seen clearly all the way down. Even if the monster's night vision ability is very strong, it can't be seen in such a place where there is no light at all.

Lilia took out the oil lamp with the lighting stone, and the bright light illuminated the passage.

She wanted to go ahead to help with lighting, but Tektero grabbed her, took the oil lamp from her hand, and took the lead into the cave.

The stone steps are not long, only about ten or so. After walking, it becomes a flat road. After walking for a while, a magic laboratory appears.

A thick layer of dust has accumulated in the laboratory, but the contents inside still retain some of their original appearance.

The eyes of all the monsters are fixed in the middle of the laboratory.

A distorted space black hole hangs in midair. The opening of the space black hole is so small that even a finger can't pass through it, but the surrounding distorted space is very conspicuous.

The magic energy leaked from here.

"It seems that the original owner of this place should have accidentally linked to a place that shouldn't be linked when doing research, and he couldn't close it, so he kept it open like this, causing the magic energy to leak. Fortunately, this black hole is very small. , otherwise, in 1000 years, the world would have ended long ago.”

Lilia looked at the traces of the magic circle on the ground and speculated: "This place should be protected by an enchantment, otherwise even such a small hole will be enough to pollute this continent after a thousand years, but the magic circle is invalid after all. , that’s why you will be infected by the magic energy.”

Clive instinctively felt that the black hole was dangerous, so he cautiously stayed away.

Lilia leaned forward and looked into the black hole, but unfortunately the hole was too small, so she couldn't see anything.

"I don't know if the other side of this hole is our Demon Realm."

"No." Tektero pulled her back: "Don't get too close, it might be dangerous."

Lilia took advantage of the situation and climbed on his body: "How do you know it's not?"

"The taste of magic energy is different." Tektero said.

After crossing, there is still a certain amount of magic energy in some places in the castle. Later, in order to prevent the magic energy from expanding or accidentally hurting the elves, the Demon King ordered to clear all the magic energy. He was the one who received the order. , Tektero had eaten a lot of magic energy at that time, so naturally he knew its taste very well.

Thinking about the worsening environment on the ground, Clive couldn't help asking: "What should we do with this hole? Can it be plugged?"

Tektero didn't speak, but looked at Lilia.

Lilia raised her chin: "Of course, it's just a trivial matter." She was not the weak magician who opened a black hole but couldn't block it.

Having said that, in the end Lilia didn't directly block the black hole of space, but only shrunk it down to be smaller than a grain of rice, and then sealed it.

Before setting off again, the Demon King secretly ordered Tektero to bring the item back to him if he found that the magic energy was leaking from something, but if the magic energy appeared for other reasons, then he could Choose what to do with it.

There is only one, he wants Tektero to deal with it exactly as he wants.

That is, if the devilish energy diffuses from other worlds, and this world happens to be their world, then immediately block the source of the devilish energy without leaving any hidden dangers, it must be completely blocked, and It is the kind that will never be found again.

Tektero didn't understand why His Majesty gave such an order, but he still chose to obey completely, but Lilia was different, she could easily see what the devil was thinking.

If it was the original world, if they didn't block it, they could directly expand the space black hole and return to the world over there, but in this way, the elves can also pass through, return to the mortal world through the demon world, and return to the elf forest.

In that case, they will inevitably return to opposing camps, and the elf may also sever the existing relationship with him.

That is definitely not something the Demon King can tolerate, so even if he abandons his own territory - anyway, after so long, the territory of the Demon World has probably been divided up by the other six monarchs - he still has to be by the elf's side.

It seems that now that the opposite side is not their world, this black hole does not need to be completely blocked. After all, the magic energy is very beneficial to the monsters. With it, they can collect some magic energy regularly in the future.

Afterwards, they re-arranged the enchantment for the underground laboratory, restored the damaged walls, and left the ruins.

The demonic energy that has polluted the land on the ruins has not been cleaned up, and now the source is blocked. Although the demonic energy here still exists, it will not continue to spread outward. Keeping them can prevent others from entering the ruins.

Through the memory crystal, the devil saw the whole process of their operation. When he saw that the black hole was sealed, he smiled at his knight commander for the first time, and praised: "Good job, what do you want?" Your reward, Tektero."

The excited terrifying knight commander immediately half-kneeled on the ground: "It is my honor to serve you, besides, this is just a trivial matter and does not require any reward, Your Majesty!"

"No, you did a good job, the reward is a must." The Demon King looked at him, thought for a while and said, "I have several sets of armor in my treasury, you can choose one by yourself."

Your Majesty's armor!Tektero felt that his chest had been empty for a long time, and his heart seemed to be beating again.

At this time, even if Tektero felt that he had done nothing, as long as he heard the reward, he couldn't refuse it.

Everyone knows that the things that can be collected by their Majesty are definitely the top, not to mention that it is armor, maybe it has been worn by His Majesty before!

Tektero suppressed his excitement, and bowed in a dignified way: "Thank you very much for your generosity, Your Majesty!"

Lilia, who was standing aside, covered her mouth and smiled lightly, her Tektero was still so easy to understand.

Goofy is so cute.

The author has something to say: Tektero: I just took a trip, and His Majesty has given you such a generous gift!

Lilia: Fool, he was happy to find that the magic energy has nothing to do with the devil world.

Elf: ...I won't go back even if it's the Demon Realm, okay, my Primarch is probably gone by now, should I go back and be an NPC?I'm not stupid.
