Chapter 591 Poetry
This trip, which was not supposed to be a troublesome trip, turned out to be quite unexpected. It was actually very troublesome.
Aldai originally thought that the size of the ruins would be similar to last time at most. Not to mention that it could be done in one day, but two days would be enough to get back the Demon King's Ring.
Facts have proved that the plan could not keep up with the changes. No one could have imagined that the exaggeration of this ruins had far exceeded expectations. Even experienced adventurers would have to say "fuck" when they came.
What's even more damning is that because she has gone deep underground and due to the image of underground radiation, Aldai cannot open the portal to return, which is equivalent to being cut off.
Even so, Aldai was still upset. On the one hand, it was because of her strong thirst for knowledge and curiosity. On the other hand, she felt that Li Chengqi would be able to help in the worst case scenario.
——She was still as rude as ever.
Speaking of portals, when I passed through the crystal channel before, I saw the Glow Ion Yin Order temporarily building a huge portal. At that time, Aldai thought they were just calling for reinforcements, but she didn't expect that they actually called one. Magic ship.
The illithid's shell ship is a type of magic ship. In addition to being able to fly, the minimum standard for a magic ship is that it must be able to sail in the void.
In other words, this thing is basically a space battleship.
Of course, the cost is so exaggerated that it gives people a headache. What’s even more troublesome is how to build it.
Aldai had a very strong desire to take a trip on the magic ship.
So she, a little expert at seeking death, was thinking about this in her coma and dreams.
"Miss Aldai, wake up, are you okay?"
Someone slapped Aldai on the face several times, which suddenly woke her up, and she saw Zola who was looking at her with concern.
Just when she was about to speak, Aldai immediately turned around and spat out a large amount of water.
This time the water in her lungs was completely drained, but Aldai felt pain everywhere in her body and couldn't get up.
"Where are we? Where is Nemea?"
"She's there."
Zola pointed to the right side. At the edge of Aldai's field of vision, she could vaguely see Nemea's pair of tiefling horns. She was probably still fainting.
"As for where we are...it's hard to say."
Zola helped Aldai up. The three of them were currently on the beach by the sea, but apart from them, there was no one around.
"We were rushed up?"
"Although I didn't see it, it should have been your Majesty who sent us to the shore."
Zola had just woken up not long ago, but after all she had been a warrior and her physical abilities far exceeded that of the mage Aldai, so she was the first to wake up.
Pointing to the crystal boat stranded on the beach not far away, there were several deep ravines under the bottom of the boat. Aldai knew at a glance that this must be Li Chengqi who grabbed the crystal boat with his hands and dragged it to the shore, and finally pulled the boat After putting it on the beach, I took my hand out again and left traces.
So Aldai dared to be stubborn because she knew that Li Chengqi was definitely watching.
She took out the water bag from the magic bag and drank some water. Aldai felt better. She slowly stood up and looked up to the other side of the beach.
At first glance, you can only see black mountains, like alternating mountains, but at the end of the mountains, there is something that seems to be shining that is very eye-catching.
If you look carefully, you can vaguely see something like a castle behind the mountains. It is the light it emits that pierces the darkness.
Since there was no map and no idea of how big the ruins were, Zola only felt that he might have fallen to the bottom, and no more information could be found at all.
But Aldee suddenly became a little excited when she saw the glowing castle. "I walked through the labyrinth of betrayers, I passed through the tombstones of dwarves, I entered the sea of elves, I saw countless mountains, and I found the lost castle!"
I don’t know what Aldai is thinking suddenly, but I can only tell that the more she reads, the more excited she becomes:
“The stars are above, but they are underground, the long river is on the left, but they are in the sky, the end of the river, the end of the starry sky, The elves’ fortress will forever protect the tyrant’s secrets!”
"Miss Alday, what are you talking about?"
"Poetry."
Aldo turned his head and said to Zola: "This is an excerpt from a certain poem in a collection of poems written in the mythical age."
This collection of poems was specially bought by Aldai from the White Hands Association. Because it is out of print, only the most well-informed White Hands Association can find it. Even the academic city does not have any books from the mythical era. (See Chapter 391 for details)
“There is no written record of such a big event as the apostle stealing the Demon King’s Ring. I have always wondered if someone deliberately erased that period of history, but the remaining part of the poem is The record is too vague to understand, but! ”
Aldai pointed to the castle in the distance:
“But the poetry is correct!”
"Um...what do you want to say?"
"I mean, we found it!"
In Aldai's excited voice, Neemia also opened her eyes slightly and woke up. Then she heard Aldai forcibly suppressing her excited voice and said:
"We found it, the Demon King's Palace." The ring is right there!”
–‐‐——–‐‐——
There is an idiom "catching on the wind and catching shadows", which is used to describe something that has no basis in fact.
But the prerequisite for catching wind and shadow is that you have to have wind and shadow.
The records of things like poetry are very vague and very freehand. Just looking at the poetry, it is difficult for you to accurately judge what place is being described.
But perhaps it is because of the vagueness of the poem that it escaped the risk of erasure, leaving behind a few clues that can point the way for those looking for the Ring of the Devil in modern times.
Just looking at the poems will make people very confused. What are the tombstones of dwarves, what is the sea of elves, how can the stars be under the ground, these are all written in a mess.
But recall carefully that Aldai and the others walked along the way. First they passed through the gates and labyrinths built by the betrayers, then the ruins of the dwarves, and then entered the sea that was obviously built by the elves for entertainment.
This is exactly the same as poetry.
And in the last sentence, the elf's fortress will always protect the tyrant's secrets.
Obviously, that is telling you that the Demon King's Ring is in the castle in the distance.
Because this ruins is so big, Aldai has almost lost confidence in finding the Demon King's Ring. After all, finding a ring in a place like this without any guidance is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But now, even Aldai, who has remained rational and has always been thinking rationally, has to admit that fate has completed its amazing coincidence at this moment.
Taking the poem as a clue, what they have to do now is not to go directly over the mountains and ridges to the castle at the end of the field of vision, but to find the 'long river' mentioned in the poem first.
Follow this river until you reach the end, and you will naturally find the castle where the Demon King's Ring is stored.
This should be the closest and best way to go.
But Li Chengqi, who was watching all this from the other side of the screen, couldn't help but hold his forehead.
I know you're excited, but don't get excited yet.
Let's rest for a while before leaving...
