Arcane Lord

Nothing unexpected happened. Xia Duo successfully received the magic arrow into his portable space, and then began to restore the "archaeological site".

After backfilling, all the branches that were originally brought in to make supports were collected, and a large amount of floating dust and humus were collected from the side and spread evenly here.

Of course, such traces can be easily seen by those with a discerning eye, but since Xia Duo is already ready to "share" the Mystic Relics, he doesn't care about these.

As long as it's passable on the surface, that's fine.

In the subsequent excavation work, Xia Duo did not continue the previous plan. Since one magic item could be found, there should be other magic items preserved.

Now it seems that this ruins will be exposed no matter what, and Xia Duo definitely cannot wait until the day of exposure before going to recruit backers and find a successor.

Seriously speaking, he can return to the Tower of Time now to report the situation, but how to say it requires some skills.

Xia Duo planned to "clean" the ruins first before talking.

Excluding the decaying forest remnants on the periphery, the real core building area of ​​this ruins is only the size of a football field.

If you excavate carefully, it may take several months, but if you just go through it from beginning to end to see if there are any magic items left behind, it won't take long.

Sha Duo followed the principle of the "grid method" and checked the area one by one. The speed was quite fast. He had already walked through the entire ruins building area before he even recovered.

"Only two magic items?" Sha Duo couldn't believe his eyes.

Only two magic items survived in this huge ruins, including the magic arrow he had put away before!

Arriving at the corner of the ruins, this place was supposed to be a small courtyard. The wall was not made of stone, so there were no broken walls or ruins left.

Sha Duo began to excavate carefully again. The magic aura here was weaker than the magic arrow. Of course, this did not mean that the magic items here were very low-level. It was probably the opposite.

If it were not very high-level, it would be difficult to imagine that a low-level magic item could survive in this ruins for a long time and be preserved to this day.

Of course, if it is really just a low-level magic item, it is not impossible. After all, anything is possible with magic!

…

When he actually excavated it, Xia Duo immediately felt the difference from when he unearthed the magic arrow before.

Previously, the magic arrows were inserted diagonally into the ground, but the ground here is not soil, but stone slabs, covered with nearly half a foot of floating soil and decay.

Xia Duo skimmed away the floating soil and decay bit by bit, and finally found a pendant lying on a blue stone slab. It was a green gem fixed with a mithril needle claw.

If he guessed correctly, this should be a jasper necklace. He had seen Crona wearing something similar in the projection plane before.

Even many elves have similar jewelry, including the elf "Athos" projected by Shado, but Athos's necklace is not a magic item, just an ordinary gem.

The thing used to fix the gems is not mithril, but ordinary silver.

As for the tether, most elves chose the same thing. It was woven with a fragrant bark fiber that was light, soft and extremely tough.

Because the semi-finished product is usually white and can be dyed into various colors according to the preferences of each elf, it is called "rainbow rope".

The emerald pendant here is most likely made of "rainbow rope" as a tether. However, after a long time, the tether has long since decayed into mud and cannot be preserved.

Xia Duo picked up the pendant, examined it carefully, and finally put it away with some disappointment.

Although the principle of elf magic is different from that of Nese magic, the essence is still the same. They are all based on the operation of the magic network. Xia Duo can't see what function this pendant has for the time being, but he can already confirm that the magic on it is only 1 at most. ring level.

Perhaps because of the special nature of the gem, such a low-level magic item has been preserved, and it may even be in the same intact condition as it was countless years ago.

It's just that compared to a intact low-level magic item, Xia Duo hopes to get a high-end item, even if it's just a incomplete version.

Because high-end goods mean they contain more profound knowledge and can be a source of knowledge for Sha Duo outside the Tower of Time, while low-end items can hardly bring new knowledge to Sha Duo.

After all, elven magic is just a form of knowledge, and you may not be able to gain anything if you crack it.

After adjusting his mentality, Xia Duo continued to search for non-magical items, such as sapphires and mithril jewelry that he had searched for before.

This is back to the previous plan, but there are changes in the mystery lock, and I don’t know how long this plan can last!

…

In the evening, Xia Duo returned to the camp and looked at the extra palm-length adamantine knife, a hollow mithril ball toy, and the magic item jasper pendant in his pocket.

These three trophies were all the harvest for today. From the perspective of a single day's harvest, it seemed that the harvest was not small, but compared to Sha Duo's expectations for the elven ruins, it was somewhat insufficient.

In the next few days, Xia Duo studied the [Flying Seat] while searching for valuable items in the Mysterious Relics.

But unfortunately, since he got the adamantium knife that day, Shado has not found any valuable items, as if his luck has ended.

This forced him to re-estimate the value of the entire ruins except for the puzzle lock. It was like opening a blind box. It might be empty or full of goods.

"Be contented!" Shado sighed.

He planned to search for a few more days. If he couldn't find enough before the next "Lucky Owen" arrived, he would report the matter when he returned to the Tower of Time next time.

Rather than passively exposing it, it is better to report it actively!

Elf ruins are not rare in Netheril. Living elf forces have been destroyed, but ruins with puzzle locks are rare.

Rare does not mean no, the Tower of Time may be interested and then develop it by itself, or it may be handed over to its backers in exchange for other benefits.

In short, it is better to throw out such a ruin that is destined to be exposed as soon as possible. The longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for Shado.

After making up his mind, Xia Duo simply stopped his spell research. After all, a 3rd-level [Flying Seat] would not be developed in a day or two.

For the time being, he did not have an urgent need to fly, so he might as well concentrate on archaeology in the Mystery Ruins.

…

Three days later, Xia Duo stood in the center of the ruins with a blank face, and three big question marks appeared in his mind-

Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?

"This is not scientific! No, this is not magic!" Xia Duo scratched his greasy hair that had not been taken care of for several days, and murmured.
