"That's perfect. After this matter is over, I can go find materials and find a way to make it."
Putting away the things in his hands, Athir muttered to himself.
Speaking of which, in addition to the refining information of the Guardian Stone in his hand, he also has a copy of the refining information of the Crimson Sword.
This was obtained accidentally before. After such a long period of analysis, it has been successfully deciphered by the chip.
However, although the Crimson Sword is only a high-level magic item, the materials needed to refine it are comparable to some magic weapons. Even with Athir's strong financial resources, he cannot gather them in a short period of time and can only watch blankly.
Relatively speaking, the materials needed for this guardian stone are much simpler, and as long as a bounty is posted, the materials should be gathered quickly.
In addition to the information about the magic item, Athir also found some other things, some of which were also rare materials, but they were much inferior to the magic items.
But this is not surprising. The owners of these things are basically apprentices. There is not even a formal wizard, so naturally there can't be too many good things.
After packing up the things in his hands, Athir turned his gaze to the side and looked at the open area in front of him.
After observing for a while, he walked straight forward.
A tiny light suddenly appeared and then disappeared.
A faint force field emerged on Athir's neck, causing faint ripples in the surrounding space.
This is a distortion force field that activated on its own just now, blocking something.
"If that blow had hit an ordinary wizard, it would have been enough to kill a second-class apprentice instantly."
Feeling the pressure just now, Athir narrowed his eyes and looked ahead: "There is indeed something strange here."
In front, as he walked closer, the originally flat road began to change and turned directly into a black river.
An extremely disgusting smell emerged from the black river, which made people feel disgusted and instinctively want to destroy everything in front of them.
"Abnormal force field fluctuations detected..." At this moment, the voice of the chip in my mind came again.
Time and space seemed to stand still. At this moment, the world around turned completely black.
The dense flowers around began to turn black, and hideous human faces grew on them, all looking at Athir at this moment.
A deep mental pressure came over him, and Athir only felt a pain in his mind, and the world around him suddenly returned to normal.
"Is this... a mental evaluation?"
Standing there, his breathing became a little disordered and he was gasping for breath, but his face was calm.
He looked forward again and saw the flat land in front of him and the conspicuous flowers around him. Everything looked so peaceful and beautiful.
After calming down the disordered breath, Athir continued to move forward and finally came to a small wooden house.
This is a large black wooden house, which looks like it is made of iron and wood, but it looks very shabby and has a thick layer of dust on it.
Walking along the road, Atier arrived in front of the door of the wooden house and gently pushed it with his arm.
He felt a unique touch on his arm, and the door in front of him was much heavier than expected, which surprised Athir.
Looking at the slightly trembling door in front of him, he increased the strength in his hands and continued to push forward.
With a creaking sound, the door in front of him opened, revealing the scene inside.
The first thing that came into view was a hall. Because it was dark at the time, it looked pitch black and the specific scene could not be seen clearly.
Looking at this dim scene, Athir's mind moved. Around him, bits of energy particles began to gather and condense into balls of light, emitting faint light and illuminating the surroundings.
Only then did Athir see the scene in the room clearly.
In the shabby hall, old and broken furniture was placed everywhere, and in the front was a large wooden table and a skeleton in a black robe. Even though it had been dead for many years, it still emitted a weak radiation reaction.
In front of the black-robed skeleton, there was a book with a black cover and a feather pen.
After walking to the front and confirming that there was no problem, Athir picked up the worn book in his hand and opened directly to the first page.
The yellowing occurs when the pages of the book are turned over, revealing lines of scribbled handwriting, which looks a bit messy.
The text was written in a language called Mora. As for the book, it should have been specially processed as well. Even after decades, the handwriting was still very clear.
"I'm sorry... kid... I can't save you..."
"If I can become a formal wizard, maybe I can..."
"Everything is ready, this time it will definitely succeed!"
"I failed again...but this time no one came to save me..."
"What a pity... the inheritance of the Hanluo Mountains..."
············
In the book, lines of scribbled handwriting appeared, which looked like a random diary.
From these fragmentary contents, we can infer that the owner of the diary should be an apprentice who failed twice in his attempts to become a formal wizard.
However, what concerned Athir was that at the end of this diary, there were some descriptions and records of the Hanluo Mountains.
"The inheritance of the Hanluo Mountains..."
Looking at the record about Hanluo Mountain Range in the diary, Athir was a little surprised: "This apprentice knew decades ago that there were relics of ancient wizards in Hanluo Mountain Range? Did he even know what was inside?"
Athir also learned about the ruins on the Hanluo Mountains from Terrence. He didn't actually know what was there specifically, he just wanted to try his luck there.
However, the description in this diary made Athir take it a little more seriously.
To be qualified as an inheritance, it must contain a lot of advanced knowledge for inheritance, or even spell templates. If it is the inheritance of an ancient wizard, then its value will be immeasurable.
"If there really is an ancient wizard's inheritance in the Hanluo Mountains, then we must get it this time no matter what."
Looking at the diary in his hand, many thoughts flashed through Athir's mind. Then he put the diary away and placed it in the package behind him.
In the spacious living room, several balls of light were still shining, and the faint light everywhere illuminated the surroundings.
Following the faint light, Athir walked to the side and prepared to search the living room carefully to see if he could find any unexpected results.
It took two hours before we had thoroughly searched the place.
What disappointed Athir was that there were not many things left in the whole wooden house. After all, after decades, most of the things had decayed, and there was nothing left except magic stones and some materials.
After making sure there was no further gain, Atier walked out of the wooden house and slowly walked in the previous direction.
When they walked to the iron tree, they heard the sound of swords clashing. Three groups of people were confronting each other, looking at the two shining fruits hanging on the iron tree with desire in their eyes.
Speaking of which, the reason why they are confronting each other here is actually partly due to Athir's responsibility.
Most of the knights who choose to venture to the Moonlight Garden to search for the Moonlight Fruit have some problems themselves. Either it is difficult for them to activate their seeds of life due to their physical condition, or they are too old to complete the promotion on their own. Therefore, they need the assistance of the Moonlight Fruit to help them complete the last step.
Originally there were three ripe fruits on the iron tree, just enough for the leaders of the three groups to use, but now one of the fruits was picked by Athir, leaving only two fruits on the tree.
This meant that only two people could achieve their goal. The remaining person naturally would not be willing, so they immediately confronted each other and were still in the process of negotiating with each other.
Looking at the three people, Atier shook his head, and the distorted force field on his body opened up, completely concealing his aura, and then he walked out quickly without paying any attention to their thoughts.
When we got outside, the luminous mushrooms that originally filled the forest had almost disappeared, leaving only a few scattered lights still flickering, bringing a ray of light to the dim night.
Looking around, Athir walked directly in the direction he came from and returned to the town at a very fast speed.
the next day.
But when the sky outside just started to brighten, Athir walked out of his room and went outside the hotel.
Outside, the coachman was already waiting with the carriage. When he saw Athir coming out, he immediately put on a respectful expression on his face: "Master!"
"Let's go."
After looking around casually, Athir got into the carriage with a package in his hand and spoke to his coachman.
The sound of horse hooves was heard on the spot, and with a light shout from the coachman, the carriage slowly moved forward and drove towards an unknown distance.
·················
More than a week later.
"Master, we are almost there."
Walking on a small path, the driver in front turned around and said, "We have reached the small town ahead, and the surrounding area is the Hanluo Mountains."
"Thanks for your hard work."
A gentle voice came from inside the carriage.
After a while, Athir walked out of the carriage, sat directly next to the coachman, and looked at the surrounding scenery.
There is a small town ahead, but compared with the previous Yefeng Town, this town looks much more desolate. Not only are there not many passing caravans, but even the surrounding roads look very simple.
In the distance, there are high mountains, tall trees everywhere, and there are also mountain ranges that are part of the Hanluo Mountains.
Before coming here, Atier had inquired about some information about the Hanluo Mountains.
The so-called Hanluo Mountains is actually a very large area. If we talk about the area alone, it is equivalent to half a province.
Because of the isolation of the mountains, the roads here are very difficult to travel on, and the surrounding residents are mostly poor. Except for some caravans that purchase mountain products and animal skins, few people come here.
