Collapsed huge stone pillars, broken walls, broken buildings...
The ruins are in ruins, with almost no intact building to be found.
The four purple-haired girls, Sophia, and Gray, a total of five people, stood in the ruins, all of them frowning.
The ruins were so badly damaged that many houses collapsed completely. If you wanted to search, you had to remove all the heavy objects that were pressing on them.
Boom!
A collapsed wall weighing several tons was lifted open by Gray, revealing what was underneath and letting it see the light of day.
Rotten wooden cabinets, broken murals, and rusty metal decorations.
Pulling out the magic sword from his waist, he pried open the rotten wooden cabinet, revealing various rotten and broken debris.
Shaking his head, Gray left this place and walked to other places.
Boom!
Another wall weighing several tons was lifted and overturned by Gray, raising a lot of earth-yellow dust.
Gray dodged and waited until the khaki dust disappeared, then stepped forward to check, and then turned away after a moment.
"Miss, what do you think this is?"
The woman in the red battle suit seemed to have gained something, and Gray looked sideways.
Then he saw that the opponent was holding a basin-shaped metal body in his hand. The basin-shaped metal body was hollow inside and had a metal mesh on the top.
It is covered with rust, but many runes can be seen vaguely.
Sophia looked at the basin-shaped metal body for a moment and said.
"This should be a furnace used for heating during the Empire. It doesn't have much value."
Hearing this, the woman in red battle uniform had no choice but to throw it away. If it was a small item, she could keep it. However, such a large item was not easy to carry at all, so she had no choice but to give it up.
Boom!
A door that was severely squeezed and deformed was kicked open by Gray, and a room inside that had not yet collapsed appeared in front of Gray's eyes.
There is a bed and several cabinets in the room. This should be a bedroom.
Because the entire space was isolated from the outside world, the things in the room were relatively well preserved, so Gray walked in and started rummaging around.
An upright cabinet was opened, and inside were clothes with traces of decay. With a gentle touch, the clothes fell off like plaster on the wall.
Gray opened another short cabinet, which contained several pairs of leather shoes, which were also quite decayed.
Opening cabinet after cabinet, most of the things inside were daily necessities of that era, but they were all in a state of decay. It was strange that ordinary things could be preserved after thousands of years.
A small drawer was opened, and a book appeared in front of Gray. Gray stretched out his fingers to touch the book without paying much attention. He had encountered many books before, but these books were all without exception. The ground breaks into pieces when touched.
"Um… ?"
The feeling of getting it made Gray's eyes light up slightly.
The books that were touched did not suddenly scatter like ashes like the books he had seen before, but instead gave Gray a feeling of elasticity.
He reached out, slowly picked up the book, and looked at it carefully.
This is a book made entirely of leather, with the cover and pages made of leather.
Not only that, these leathers should have undergone special treatment. The books he encountered before also had leather covers, but they were also decayed. Obviously, without special treatment, even the leather texture could not be preserved for more than a thousand years. .
"Hercules."
Turning the book over, Gray saw the name of the book. Judging from the name, this should be a blood law book.
He turned over the pages of the book, and his guess was confirmed. This was indeed a blood law book, and it was a blood law book with three sequences.
In other words, through this blood law book, one can directly cultivate to the barbarian level.
"You might as well give it a try."
Although it is not the wind wolf series blood spell book that Gray most wants to obtain, it is a blood spell that can be practiced to the barbaric level after all.
If you have reached the level of a mad blood warrior and still cannot obtain the barbarian-level wind wolf sequence blood method, you can try to swallow the corresponding blood beast blood in this book and practice the barbarian-level blood method in this book.
After putting the book away and rummaging through it again, but finding no results, Gray left the room.
"Is the harvest good?"
Seeing Gray walking out, Teresa, a man with a brown beard, seemed to point out something.
Although everyone was rummaging through the ruins of the ruins, the surveillance of Gray obviously did not stop. The scene where Gray found the blood book just now must have been noticed by the other party.
"good."
Gray glanced at Theresa, the brown bearded man, and replied calmly.
Theresa, a man with brown beards, obviously thought that the strength of the four of them was enough to kill him, but this was not the case. With nine blood beasts around, he was not afraid of them at all.
"hehe."
The man with the brown beard was slightly dissatisfied with Gray's "uncooperative" attitude and said.
"Looking at the thickness, there should be three sequences, right? A book of spells with three sequences, even the cheapest one, costs at least 100,000 gold coins. This is not just okay."
"Really? So it's so valuable."
Gray's expression remained unchanged, and his voice pretended to be surprised.
The brown bearded man's expression suddenly turned cold, and his eyes locked on Gray.
While he was doing this, Gray's expression also turned cold, and he looked at the other party coldly as well.
For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
At this moment, the purple-haired girl Sophia spoke.
"I don't know what kind of blood beast sequence it is? If it is a blood beast sequence that we don't have, we can exchange it with blood magic books of other sequences and copy each other's copies."
With the words of the other party, the atmosphere in the field was broken. The brown bearded man Theresa withdrew her gaze from Gray, and Gray also made the coldness in his eyes no longer so conspicuous.
If the other party could exchange it with other blood magic books, he would naturally not refuse to agree. After all, if he exchanged it with the other party, he would be equivalent to getting two blood magic books, and the harvest would be greater.
The same is true for the other party. At the expense of the blood method book that he already had, he obtained the blood method book that he didn't have, and there was also a gain.
This should be considered a win-win situation.
"The Strong Bull series can be cultivated to the barbaric level."
Gray spoke.
"Hercules? This is indeed a blood beast sequence that we don't have. We are willing to exchange the first three sequences of other sequences of blood magic books with you for transcripts."
The purple-haired girl Sophia said.
"What serial blood law books do you have?"
Gray question.
"The blood spell book of five sequences: arrow-thorned pig, knife mantis, wind wolf, poisonous bee, and tide turtle."
The purple-haired girl Sophia said.
"Wind Wolf Sequence?!"
Gray's expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't help but feel happy. The other party actually had the wind wolf sequence blood method he wanted most. This was really an unexpected surprise.
"I choose the wind wolf sequence."
He said calmly.
"Okay, after exploring the ruins, we can copy each other."
The purple-haired girl Sophia nodded.
After the discussion, the five people continued to explore the ruins. After a few hours, they explored from the front to the rear of the ruins.
During this period, Gray and the purple-haired girl Sophia all gained something, and each obtained one or two rune items.
Gray obtained a brooch-like rune item. After Sophia identified it, it was confirmed that it was a rune item that had functions similar to a raincoat after being activated.
Bang, bang, bang!
The brown bearded man walked forward while knocking on the collapsed walls. In front of one of the collapsed walls, a smile suddenly appeared on his face and he looked at Gray Road.
"Young master, come here and help me!"
Seeing the other party greeting him, Gray raised his eyebrows, but still walked over.
At this time, the other party was standing in front of a collapsed wall that was more than four meters wide and nearly ten meters long. Judging from the weight, it was probably more than ten tons.
"You lift the other side and work together to lift it open."
Seeing Gray coming over, Theresa, a man with brown beard who had already grabbed one of the corners, said.
Gray nodded, walked to the other side of the wall, grabbed the other corner, and then began to exert force with the brown bearded man.
As the two exerted their strength, the stone, which weighed more than ten tons, first trembled, and then slowly rose up.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and the entire wall was torn apart.
A large amount of dust was raised, which was several meters high. Gray and the bearded man could not help but move back to avoid the rising dust.
After a while, after the dust cleared, the two of them looked at the place that was previously covered by the wall.
"Secret room?!"
When he saw it, Gray couldn't help but show slight surprise in his eyes.
But in his sight, there was a place two meters long and wide, with stairs leading down.
Obviously, this is a staircase leading underground. According to the style of the nobles of this world, if nothing unexpected happens, this should be the secret room of the castle.
Seeing this entrance, Theresa, a man with brown beard, also looked happy and said to Sophia.
"Miss, the secret room has been found!"
Sophia, the woman in the red battle suit, and the woman in the orange formal suit came over immediately, and everyone couldn't help but look at the entrance.
From the dark entrance, you can only see the top dozen steps, and the darkness below is like a giant beast that chooses people to devour.
