Chapter 52 52. The Legend of Kong Yao Ark (please read)
The stairs are paved with blue stones, and some magic lamps made of low-level magic crystals are hung on the walls on both sides.
The style is very popular, just like a lantern, with blue and transparent magic crystal wrapping a clear light stone drawn with a magic circle in the center.
The principle of luminescence should be to continuously stimulate the clear light stone through magic power, causing it to emit white light.
It was a very simple structure. Croya even took a look at it and felt that if he could dismantle it, study it, and recreate the magic circle, he could do it.
"Is it this simple structure that is stable?"
He looked at the magic lamps hanging on both sides. If this place is really related to the mage who traded with the mermaid tribe, It's been at least two hundred years.
A simple structure like two hundred years can still be effective, and to be honest, it is very practical.
"Let's talk about it after we get out..."
Forcibly resisting the idea of breaking it off for study, Croya continued to walk forward.
"Tap~tap~"
On the silent steps there was only the sound of his footsteps. Logically speaking, it should not be easy to breathe underground like this, but it was strange that he didn't feel suffocated at all.
After about two minutes, he reached the end of the steps - a wall that was completely indistinguishable from the surrounding stone walls.
Although everything looks wrong here, there are really only walls, and the walls are very smooth without any marks.
He groped on it with his hands and found no bulges, nor did he find anything wrong with his magic sense.
"Well, it's not that easy to get in...but if it was left by the archmage."
Cloya thought for a while, took out the shell that he had always carried with him The letter of appointment comes from the Mages Association.
Generally speaking, places like this need tokens to prove their identity, and this is the only thing he can prove his identity.
The result is indeed like this.
When he took out the appointment letter, a gleam of light flashed from the magic seal representing the Mage Association on the appointment letter, rushing towards the wall.
Immediately afterwards, the wall in front of him quietly turned into a door, and with a "crunch", the door opened by itself.
The situation inside is revealed.
Inside is a room of about a hundred square meters.
I don’t know if there is any magic, but the ceiling emits light like sunlight, and it feels a little warm when it shines on me.
The blue ceiling and white cloud patterns are slowly fluttering.
At first glance, it looks like a blue sky and white clouds.
"It's quite pretty, and there doesn't seem to be any traps."
Cloya walked in cautiously and looked around - it was very empty, there were only a few Tables and chairs and so on.
The air is actually very fresh, without any rotten smell.
But to be honest, it was very different from the secret room full of treasures he imagined.
The only thing that stands out in the whole room are some exquisite utensils placed on the table, whether they are beakers or crystal bottles, they all look beautiful.
"What material is it made of?"
He walked over to check and found that in addition to scattered beakers and crystal bottles, there was also a handwritten book on the table. book.
Well, there might be something in this booklet.
"Open it." Croya took the gopher out of his pocket and ordered. "Jiji!" Of course the thief didn't dare to resist, so he obediently opened the booklet and revealed the writing inside.
After confirming that it was not a magic weapon, Croya went up to take a look and carefully identified the handwriting inside.
The face becomes more and more strange.
This is a research note, which seems to describe a very powerful ancient magic weapon. The person who wrote this note called it "Kong Yao Ark".
It is powered by the power of the sky. People living on it can receive absolute blessings from the gospel and can meet all material and spiritual needs.
"Why does this description sound like the Kingdom of God, as well as the Ark and the Gospel? It sounds like it is related to the Holy See."
He couldn't help but be curious and continued reading.
After investigation and research, the person who wrote down this note felt that the Kong Yao Ark should have crashed into the sea, and maybe it was taken away by the mermaid.
So he came here to investigate in person. He traded with the mermaid, and even used the Seven-Yao Divine Yao Formation to help the mermaid filter and refine the essence of the water.
During this period, he discovered the mineral vein of Kong Yao Crystal from the mermaid. He thought it was a clue, but after mining and studying it, he became more and more disappointed.
That is an ordinary sky crystal.
This kind of crystal with divine power can be used to make some special magic tools, and can also cultivate magic plants, which has many uses.
But it was really useless to him.
He wrote angrily: The territory of my floating island can produce sky crystals, but these stupid mermaids treat it like a treasure!
Three hundred years have yielded nothing, and he has to follow his mentor to the Star Council, so he has no choice but to leave.
According to his description, it is estimated that it will be difficult to return to this world after leaving, so he can only leave a booklet so that the latecomers of the Mage Association can continue to cooperate with the mermaid tribe to find the Kongyao Ark.
The vessels on the table made of astral crystal and a piece of astral crystal ore are regarded as gifts for those who come after them.
Logically speaking, the booklet should end here.
But there is content at the back, and the handwriting has also changed, turning into a very delicate but graceful cursive calligraphy. Every word is full of magical charm.
“For latecomers, the Kong Yao Ark is purely a legend and a bard’s fantasy. The deal with the mermaid tribe can continue, but don’t indulge in it anymore.
I have already transferred him The mark left behind is expelled, and the crystal can be used at will."
At the end of these two lines, there is a name and a special magic pattern mark. The name is clearly Eliste, and inside the mark is. The orderly flow of divine power.
The two kinds of magic power clearly do not interfere with each other. They are very similar to the form of the "Seven Lights Separation Technique" he learned. It should be guaranteed that it is the legendary mage himself.
“…”
It took Croya a while to fully understand the clues and relationships here——
This unknown mage is Eliste's apprentice. He was looking for a treasure called Kongyao Ark here, but he didn't find it. He seemed to have left a trap to harm those who came after him.
But the legendary mage Elister rushed over after discovering it, cleared the trap, and warned not to look for the Sky Ark again.
In order to reassure those who came after him, he even left his signature and the magic mark of peace and order - to be honest, having this really makes people feel at ease.
But what is going on with the mermaid clan’s contract? Doesn’t Eliste know, or are the two traps different?
Also, here comes the question, does the "Empty Yao Ark" mentioned here really not exist?
He always felt that there was some connection between the Kong Yao Ark and the strange white-gold ring inside the mushroom he saw before, but that thing had nothing to do with the Kong Yao Ark.
