The translucent purple glaze flower lay quietly in his hand. Roland took a breath and put it in his backpack.
If this thing is purely based on game value, it may not be too high, but if you look at it from a 'real' perspective, then the situation is completely different.
There was only one petal before, and the effect on Roland was not very obvious. Vivian's mental power was not very stable, so Roland gave it to her to calm her spirit.
Otherwise, with Vivian's qualifications, it would probably take another year or two to become an official mage.
And now a complete World Tree flower is enough to increase Roland's soul strength by one level.
But don’t rush to use it now, wait until the mission is over.
After all, I don't know what kind of 'side effects' there will be if I use a whole World Tree petal, what if I have to sleep for more than ten days
Roland continued to dig holes into the ground, and he condensed two lighting balls to follow him.
While forming stone steps in the passage, earth elements are used to separate the soil and transport it outward at the same time.
It took nearly three hours, and Roland finally opened the entrance to the Zuze ruins.
This place is said to be the remains of a city that existed more than a thousand years ago. It is normal for it to be buried nearly a hundred meters underground.
Then he sat on the stone steps to rest while putting on a full set of magic recovery equipment.
Not long after, Beta and the others arrived.
The entrance to the cave was slanted, and because it was too deep, the light from below could not reach it at all. It was completely dark, and there seemed to be some strange sounds coming from below. It was extremely gloomy, as if it were a cave leading to hell.
Beta couldn't help but leave a message in the guild system and asked: Brother Luolan, are you really down there
Roland: Come down, I'll wait for you at the bottom.
Several people took out torches and walked down slowly.
The hole opened by Roland was not big enough for one person to walk down.
As we all know, walking in the dark, even with a torch, can give people a sense of nervousness if they cannot see far.
Then there will be a feeling that the road is very long, or that a long time has passed.
Beta and others seemed to have gone through a long period of darkness before they saw the white ball of light at the bottom.
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time and walked quickly.
They came to Roland's side and were about to speak when they saw a round hole in front of Roland. Through the hole, they could see a deep and vast darkness.
The light that Roland summoned from the Summoning Light ball did not 'reflect' back when it entered the darkness, so they could not see anything.
This clearly means that there is a huge hole ahead, with the sides almost invisible.
And standing here at the entrance of the cave, you can feel the smell of stone and mud coming from it.
There was still a faint breeze blowing against my face.
"This should be the entrance to the copy."
Roland said lightly.
Then he turned around and looked at the entrance.
The soil from above began to pour in, and soon the long hole was blocked again.
Everyone in F6 understood that Roland was afraid that outsiders would break in while they were doing the task. This was a prudent move.
I just understand that this situation of no way forward and no way out always makes people feel a little worried.
After the hole was blocked, the breeze brought by the air flow also disappeared.
This place is so quiet, so quiet that you can almost hear the heartbeats of others.
Just when everyone was silent, Roland walked into the cave entrance first: "No matter what, let's go in and take a look first."
The others took a breath and immediately followed.
On the first step into the cave entrance, Roland felt that he was stepping on a soft material. Then he looked down and found that he was following a pile of withered grass.
These withered grasses were spread on the ground. When he stepped on them, the grass leaves under the bottom turned into powder, and some dust was also raised.
"Is it weathered?" Roland muttered softly.
Then continue to move forward. After all, this is a ruins from a thousand or two thousand years ago. After such a long time, no matter how well the things here are preserved, they may have weathered.
Roland continued to move forward, stepping on the withered grass and making a rustling sound.
Then Beta and others quickly followed.
The footsteps of the five people sounded in this empty place and spread far and wide.
After several people walked for a few seconds, there were suddenly layers of footsteps all around.
It was very weak, quite dense, as if countless people were hiding in the darkness, slowly walking toward him from all directions.
All five people were startled and stopped at the same time.
Then they quickly formed a small circle back to back and watched what was going on around them.
But soon, these footsteps gradually disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
Everyone remained silent. After all, this was an unfamiliar environment. They were afraid of attracting any monsters or terrifying beasts hunting in the dark.
The five people waited for a long time, but the footsteps did not sound again.
Roland was stunned for a moment, seeming to realize something.
Then he took the initiative and continued walking forward.
The other four people originally wanted to stop him, but they followed suit when they saw this.
After all, Roland has always been the backbone of their F6 team.
Just follow along.
A few people walked forward slowly. After a few seconds, the numbing sounds of footsteps appeared again.
Beta and others became nervous again and were about to form a circle again.
Roland walked slowly in front and said at the same time: "Don't worry, it's multiple echoes."
Hearing this, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
They followed Roland.
In the darkness, the dense and overlapping footsteps were still heard, and not many seconds later, Roland's voice came back.
No, no, you don’t need to use a carrying bag...
Because it was an echo, the sound was severely distorted. Coupled with the layers of footsteps, it seemed like there were people talking and walking in all directions. It was so eerie that it made people feel goosebumps all over their bodies.
Beta originally wanted to talk and chat, but when she saw this situation, she suddenly lost interest in talking.
So does everyone else.
The five people walked forward in silence.
Enduring the constant echoing of footsteps and the noise that was a bit depressing, the group of people marched in the dark for who knows how long. Anyway, they were walking in one direction.
It seemed like they walked for a long time. They rested three times along the way, and then finally reached a high city wall.
But here, the layer upon layer of echoes finally subsided a lot.
Although there are still echoes, they are no longer so ghostly.
After resting for a while and eating something casually, the five people walked in one direction along the old city wall. They were lucky enough to see the city gate before walking far.
The huge wooden gate was rotting, half leaning and the other half lying on the ground.
Roland stepped on it and directly made a big hole in the seemingly thick city gate.
It has also weathered.
Several people walked in from the city and found that the ruins in front of them were almost intact.
The bluestone slabs on the ground were still hard, but the vast streets were empty.
Roland and others walked into the city along the street. Roland found a house closest to him and poked at the window... It seemed intact, but the wooden window quickly turned into a pile of powder.
Roland looked into the house and saw that the furniture was well arranged, and there were dishes on the table. It was very neat and there was nothing messy.
Then they checked most of the houses nearby and found that all the rooms were neat and full of life.
It's just as if time suddenly stopped at a certain period of time, nothing has changed, the only problem is... everyone is gone.
No bones, no bodies whatsoever.
Not even animal carcasses.
The entire ruins... or rather the entire city, was so 'clean' and 'complete' that it was extremely surprising.
It is frozen in a gap in time.
Several people searched separately for a while, but did not find any useful clues or abnormalities.
They reunited.
Roland moved the light ball farther away and looked at the center of the city. The faint light was reflected back, and there seemed to be a huge object rising into the sky in the darkness.
He said: "Let's go to the city center and have a look. Maybe we can find the mission target."
Everyone continued to move forward.
Not long after, they arrived at the center of the city. With the help of Roland's lighting ball, they finally saw clearly what the huge object in front of them was.
A huge, pyramid-shaped building.
Made of large, loud black square stones, it is very tall.
"Go in and have a look."
Roland and others found the entrance to the pyramid, and they were ready for battle.
But what surprised them was that they walked around the pyramid and found nothing.
Apart from the stones of the pyramid itself, there is nothing, not even frescoes.
Maybe it should be there, but it may be that the paint technology is not up to par, and the paint has evaporated over time.
Everyone found the stairs going up in the pyramid, and then kept going up, and finally came to the top of the pyramid.
This golden tower has no spire and has a flat top.
After coming up, the space here seems much smaller, only about three hundred square meters.
So they saw at a glance that there was something that seemed to be a sacrificial altar in the middle of the top floor.
They walked around and found that the middle of the altar was empty, like a large water tank.
On the top, bottom, left and right sides of the sink, there are several very strange, circular-style pictographic characters engraved.
Roland used a spell on himself to understand words, and then read out the meaning of these words.
"Holy tears of light!"
Um
Bright tears
But it's empty!
What about Guangming Spring
Everyone looked at each other.
This mission is too frivolous.
At this moment, Beta suddenly pointed not far in front of him and said, "Brother Luolan, there is a small stone monument there!"
Everyone turned to look over and found that there was indeed a black stone tablet standing there.
There are words written on it.
Roland walked over, half-crouched, and read the meaning of the strange hieroglyphics on it.
"Thank you, Mr. XX, for saving our entire city!"
Roland frowned. It wasn't that he couldn't translate 'something', but that he couldn't see it clearly at all, as if there was a layer of mosaic blocking these words.
He couldn't help but reach out and pat it, trying to get rid of the thing blocking these words.
But the moment his fingers touched these words, the stone tablet glowed with two eyes.
Roland was startled, and he immediately retreated, summoning a magic doll and using a magic shield.
And shouted: "Magic trap, everyone, be careful."
Roland's eyes flashed with white light, and he squatted half-crouched, quietly listening to the movements around him. After all, if an enemy attacked, they would probably make a sound.
He heard the exclamations of Beta and others, and then... heard the noisy voices.
There was also a comfortable breeze blowing across my face.
Um
The white light that Roland saw gradually dissipated, and then he saw... a bright and vivid world.
