I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 507 On the Road (9)

Knowing that the three of them were almost never separated during the day, the two of them wondered why they didn't know about this? "Isn't this easy?" Seeing the surprised expressions of the two people, Alma couldn't help but feel a little proud at this time.

"While you were accompanying Sister Ellie to choose jewelry, I casually chatted with a few of the shop assistants and understood most of them.

Plus this." Alma said and opened the window of the room. Because the side of the room they lived in happened to be an important thoroughfare, it was quite lively with people coming and going.

Edward and Ellie still didn't understand what she wanted to do. Then they saw her listening casually for a while, then pointed to a few passers-by who were resting not far away downstairs, and then said: "Those are from Olon City."

businessmen, among whom the fat man was their head.

Their destination is to buy pearls from a seaside town in the south.

Those two tall men in red clothes are the guards of their chamber of commerce, and the other three are the mercenaries they hired in the mercenary kingdom." Edward hesitated for a while, and then leaned forward and listened carefully for a while.

With his extraordinary hearing, he soon knew that what Alma said was true.

"My dear, the professional ones are indeed different." After formalizing Alma's statement, Edward couldn't help but swallowed.

It's not impossible for him to eavesdrop on what others are saying, but it requires him to concentrate.

But Alma could pick out what she wanted to hear in such a noisy environment, and she could do so easily and accurately.

This alone makes him feel ashamed.

However, he still had some doubts. After all, he had gained such a keen perception purely through his long-term practice of martial arts. Alma did not seem to be that strong.

So Edward hesitated before asking tentatively: "You can hear clearly what they are saying in such a noisy place?" "No, I can only hear part of it clearly.

Most of the time I judge what they are saying by looking at their mouth shapes.

Listening is just a supplement." Alma looked extremely energetic.

And Edward almost fell to the ground. He had heard that someone could judge what the other person was saying by the shape of their mouth.

However, there are indeed very few people who have actually done it, but I didn’t expect that today would be an eye-opener.

Since there was nothing to doubt about Alma's news, the three people immediately decided to go there to inquire about it tomorrow.

Of course, before that, Edward still went to the Mercenary Guild in Ruth City.

Since that ruins have been released as a mission, the mercenary union must know something.

Although he is conceited and not afraid of anything, this has nothing to do with being cautious. Having accurate information can double his efficiency in doing things.

After showing off their mercenary badges, several people from the Ruth City Mercenary Union were stunned.

The golden mercenary badge is the symbol of the strongest person in the mercenary kingdom.

There are no more than ten people who can possess this badge in the entire history of the kingdom. Several people immediately looked up to Edward, who was probably much younger than themselves.

Regarding the situation of the ruins, several people also immediately told everything like pouring beans.

After talking for about an hour or two, Edward almost knew all the information he needed to know.

The ruins are located on a hill not far from Luter City. From the appearance, they seem to be something built by dwarves in the past. Its specific use is unclear.

This ruins was found about four months ago by an adventure team of more than ten people, but in the end only one person from that team escaped with serious injuries.

If I hadn't happened to meet a passing caravan, no one would have known about this ruins.

According to what the surviving guy said, they were trapped in a trap as soon as they entered the ruins. The ruins were easy to talk about, but the endless traps caused heavy losses to their originally powerful team.

In the end, he managed to escape with the desperate help of several other companions, while the others were all ruthlessly swallowed up by the trap.

After listening to this, Edward probably knew something in his heart. If nothing else, just talking about the dwarf ruins full of traps and traps is definitely doubtful.

I have also had contact with Edward, a family of dwarves, and I have the impression that they are quite upright and honest people.

If they said they would put some protective monsters in their place, he would have some reason to believe it.

But he would never believe that the place was filled with traps.

In this case, there may only be two left, either the ruins have been transformed, or the appearance of the ruins is just a show-off, and there must be some secret inside.

After resting for a night, the three of them set out early the next morning to find the ruins according to the clues provided by the mercenary union.

After following the guide sent by the union for a long time in the mountains and forests, the three finally discovered the ruins hidden in the dense forest.

I really don’t know how that adventuring team found this place, but it was possible to find it in such a hidden place.

After sending the guide back, the three of them began to slowly observe the ruins.

Just as the intelligence said, from the outside it should be a dwarf city built on the mountainside.

Dwarves have always liked to build cities in the mountains.

However, the attentive Alma still found the problem inside.

She walked up and knocked on a stone near the entrance, then touched it hard with her fingers.

"There is indeed something wrong with this ruins." Alma said looking at the powder on her fingers.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with this ruins?" Seeing Alma's appearance, Edward and Ellie focused their attention on Alma.

"This ruins was indeed once a small dwarf city, but it should have been transformed by others now.

You see, the colors of the stones here are obviously wrong. They must have been added by later people to strengthen the entrance.

Moreover, dwarf buildings can be put up almost as directly as building blocks, without any additional filling materials at all.

But look at this." Alma said, shaking her finger. There was some white powder on it. "These materials are only added by humans when building things like city walls. Dwarves don't know this kind of thing at all.

Even if you know how, you don't bother to use it." After listening to Alma's eloquent analysis, Edward and Ellie seemed to not know what to do except look at each other.

After a long while, Edward murmured with some emotion: "This time I found a treasure. You can analyze so many things just by looking at the entrance. It would be a waste for this girl not to work as a wanderer."

Just by relying on a few stones at the entrance, Alma could tell that there was something strange in the ruins, but she had to go in to know the specific situation.

The three people carefully walked in from the not-so-wide entrance. Since someone had already arrived here first, there were probably various traps inside. There is nothing wrong with being cautious.

However, they didn't see any problems until they almost walked through this dwarf ruins, which itself was not that big. Moreover, it was always very calm and they didn't find any traps.

With doubts, the three people walked into the last place in this underground city that they had never been to - the temple located at the bottom of the city.

The temple is located in a huge natural cave in the city. The entire temple is almost fifteen meters high. It is completely unclear why the dwarves built such a tall building.

However, although it is unknown where the dwarf tribe to which this city originally belonged is now, the four huge dwarf statues erected on both sides of the temple can vaguely tell how prosperous they once were.

It's hard to believe that this seemingly small dwarf tribe would put so much effort into carving those four nearly ten-meter-high statues and erect them at the entrance of the temple to show their worship of power.

After Edward and the other three sighed for a while, they slowly walked into this temple that had been abandoned for a long time.

The temple looked majestic from the outside. After entering, they discovered that the structure inside was surprisingly simple.

In the middle of the whole temple is a dilapidated altar, which seems to be used by the dwarves for sacrifices.

There are twelve huge pillars beside the altar and around the temple wall to support the entire building, and at the deepest point is another huge dwarf statue. From the words carved on the stone tablet at the base of the statue, we can know that this dwarf is a leader.

The leader who came to this tribe to get out of decline.

"It seems like we got nothing this time." After walking around the temple and returning to the dwarf statue, Ellie said with some disappointment.

Edward shook his head and said while looking around: "There must be something wrong with this city, otherwise it would be impossible for such an adventurous team to disappear inside.

I think we should go and search carefully in other places." "No, I think the problem should be inside this temple." Alma, who had been searching nearby for something at this time, suddenly said, and she groped on the ground for a while.

Then he picked up something, shook it, and said, "I think other adventure teams should have been here, and it seems that they have prepared something here.

It seems that they should have discovered something here and plan to explore further." Edward glanced at the thing in Alma's hand, which was a water bag for holding water.

Although it is very dilapidated, it obviously should not be something that originally existed here. The only explanation is that a certain adventure team forgot to take away something after using it while repairing it in place.

Although the three of them still had no clue, because of Alma's reminder, the three simply split up and searched for other clues on the central floor of the temple.

After searching for a long time, a few people actually found some things that other adventurers had carried from many corners.

Judging from the places where they discarded their things, they had all been repaired in this temple, but the three of them could not find anything else that could be explored in the temple, which made them all feel depressed.

"Unlucky, are we so unsuitable to be adventurers? So many waves of people have discovered the problem, why can't we find anything when it's our turn?" At this time, Ellie, who had still found nothing, looked towards the place with some anger.

He leaned on the base of the statue and said.

"Adventurers also rely on long-term accumulated experience to find interesting things from various ruins or other places.

Sister Ellie has always been doing something similar to that of a mercenary. Of course, she is much worse at searching for these things." Alma didn't seem to care about the current situation. Instead, she seemed to enjoy the process of searching very much.

Look.

So not only was she not infected by Ellie's emotions, but she was still in the mood to enlighten Ellie.

But just when Alma raised her head to talk to Ellie, she suddenly discovered something.

She had not noticed it because of the position of Ellie's lighting spell before, but now because Ellie changed her position and re-released a lighting spell, she noticed the article behind the statue.

Without having time to say anything to anyone else, Alma immediately climbed onto the base of the two-meter-high statue like a dexterous bobcat, and then ran quickly towards the base of the wall.

Soon a hidden passage entrance appeared in front of her. Due to lighting problems, Ellie's magical light never directly shined here, and the surrounding dark environment prevented them from noticing it at the first time.

"What's wrong, Alma, you discovered... there is actually a passage here." After seeing Alma's strange behavior, Edward immediately followed to ask for explanation, but soon the passage in front of Alma was explained.

cleared up the doubts in his heart.

"I think this is where the adventurers discovered it," Alma said slowly after checking the wall near the entrance of the passage to make sure there were no traps.

"Finally we have a clue, Edward, let's go in and take a look." At this time, Ellie also followed. After seeing the passage, she was obviously more excited than anyone else. Without saying a word, she dragged Edward and planned to get in.

"Hey, hey! Don't worry, you two." Seeing Ellie's appearance, Alma immediately felt a headache, then she pulled Ellie and said, "I haven't finished checking here yet.

What if there is a trap? You must know that this place may have been deliberately modified by some people, what if there is a trap inside? You must know that even ordinary traps are divided into..." Wait until Alma continues to talk.

After I finished explaining what I should pay attention to when taking risks, I suddenly found that there was no one around me.

When she turned around, she realized that Ellie and Edward had already talked to themselves and got in. This made Alma so angry that she wanted to go up and beat them up.

But she quickly put away this idea, because it was obvious that if she had to face those two people, even if she tied up a hundred of them, it wouldn't be enough for one round.

"Damn it, I hope the guy who designed this passage won't be too perverted, otherwise even if I have a hundred lives to follow those two novices, I won't be able to use it." Alma prayed while helplessly following the two people.

Drilled into the passage.
