The bone of sin domain is king

Chapter 121 Act One. Shallow Sea

The scorching wind blows, followed by the blazing sun.

The strong wind, which is dry without a trace of water vapor, seems to suck all the moisture from the person's body. What can't be seen at a glance is the vast and endless sand dunes like the sea.

This is called "Shallow Sea", a large desert named after the sea.

Located in the northwest of the Kingdom of Astor, and also bordering the North Olynsis Commercial Community, this desert can be regarded as the largest wasteland in the northwest of the continent.

But unlike the wasteland with a long history like the Evernight Forest, the formation of the shallow sea desert is not long.

700 years ago, this place was one of the largest commercial centers in Northern Olympias. In its heyday, it had a population of 10 permanent residents. Almost all goods in the entire continent were traded here. Various races came and went here, and it seemed to be extremely prosperous. business city.

But an event changed the place completely.

Until now, the investigation results of that incident have not been made public. It was also the first incident in history that was jointly handled by the Holy Church and the Rainbow Tower.People talked about it, but they couldn't come to a unified conclusion.

The only thing that is known is that the city disappeared from the map overnight, and the space with a radius of hundreds of miles turned into a barren desert, infected with chaotic and wild magic.

At the same time, tens of thousands of people also evaporated. No one knew where these people went. All the information about this incident was sealed in the cabinet, and no one mentioned it.

But as long as there are people, adventurers will set foot in even the most dangerous wilderness. Now, 700 years later, many adventurers have left their footprints in this desert. In the hinterland of the desert, the first desert after the Holy War was even built. A fortress standing in the wilderness.

Rosen was walking in the desert, and the scorching sun scorched his armor. If it wasn't for the magically treated cloak to cover it, it would have burned red.

It has been a month since he left Byron Weiss, and the city that was sacrificed was less than one-tenth of the population. The relevant information was blocked by the church that arrived later. , No one even leaked what happened in the city that day.

Rosen traveled north all the way, traveling along the border city between the Kingdom of Astor and the Wasteland. During this period, he lived peacefully and did not encounter any cultists causing trouble. Although he occasionally ran into a few people who did not know the heights of the world and robbed him, but afterwards There were always a few more bastards who were knocked down, and Rosen walked away.

When a gust of wind blows, the stretch of sand dunes also moves, making the terrain more complicated. Although it is not like the Evernight Forest, which is blocked by continuous magic rain, the desert itself is a land of death.

Here, all order is gone. During the day, it is hot enough to roast people, and at night, it is freezing cold. The props that indicate the direction also fail the moment they step here. If it is not an adventurer who is very familiar with the desert , it is easy to get lost here, and eventually become food for the monsters hidden in the desert.

It has been three days since Rosen entered this desert. Thanks to the fact that the undead do not need to drink water or eat, he has not faced such a desperate situation. After a month of comprehension and practice, he has also touched the threshold of the middle reaches of bronze. It is indeed a huge trouble to find the way.

In the wilderness, even if you can see the sun, it does not mean that it can indicate the direction. Many times, after walking for a long time in the direction of the setting sun, it turns out that you have circled back to the origin. It's a huge psychological pressure.

But Rosen has other options.

He took out a crystal from his waist pocket. This translucent crystal contained a tiny rainbow, constantly flickering, revealing traces of magic power.

This is what Liliana gave him, and it is said that it is the certificate of being a VIP of the Rainbow Tower.

Rosen studied for a long time, and finally used the [Appraisal] skill to figure out the common use of this thing.

【Key of the Rainbow】

【Excellent】

【Key to the Rainbow Tower】

[Commitment from the high-level mages of the Rainbow Tower, owning it means that the door of the Rainbow Tower is always open to you]

[There is a small magic circle inside, which contains different spells depending on the producer]

[If the goddess closed the door for some people, then this key is the key to open that door]

Rosen has confirmed that the spell inside is a search spell, but it is different from general spells that find specific items. This thing can find the location of the things in the mind of the holder.

For example, now, if Rosen wants to find the location of the fortress where the outpost is located, this rainbow key will guide him to the observation outpost. Yes, this spell can also point out the approximate location.

Of course, Rosen also tried the position of Liliana, for example, but the position he got was in chaos, and some strong men at the top of the hunting list had the same result. It seems that this spell is linked to the strength of the holder. It’s not a panacea either.

In fact, this spell called "Star Positioning" should be a low-level spell of the prophecy system. You can use the position of the stars to find items. Only people at the Black Iron Rank and below, and places where no magic defenses have been placed, can be found. Well, Rosen also heard from Liliana that the outpost was located inside the fort, so he searched for the fort.

If you search for the observation outpost directly, then you will definitely not be able to find the place that has been protected by many magic spells with this spell.

But even so, the direction of the spell sometimes has a huge error. Several times, Rosen was still walking in the right direction in the morning, but there was already a deviation at night. It seems that the chaotic magic power of this wasteland is still there. have an effect on it.

In order to deceive others, Rosen chose not to go with other people. He walked alone in the desert, killing several monsters with desert characteristics along the way.

For example, the huge worm corpse he pierced with the big sword now.

The length of this worm is about five yards, most of its body is made of rock, and it travels quite quickly in the desert. Its mouthparts are countless sharp and layered teeth, which can tear even the strongest Leather armor, as long as ordinary people are touched, a few will lose a layer of skin.

These kind of monsters usually have the strength not close to that of black iron. They hide under the sand and are elusive, which is a very troublesome problem for some small caravans. Rosen saw these monsters hunted and killed more than once in the taverns around the shallow sea desert. wanted warrants, but it seems that their number has not decreased much over the years.

It's just that this monster is already dead. When it overestimated its capabilities and tried to attack Rosen - or when Rosen accidentally stepped on its tail, this monster called a sand worm had already fallen into a tragic situation. destiny.

There are not many parts of these bugs that can be directly used. Rosen took some brain extracts according to the prompt of the [Identification] skill and discarded their bodies in the desert.

But just as Rosen put away the small bottle of cloudy liquid and was about to check his position again, there was a muffled sound from in front of him.

The ability of "sense" spread, and Rosen sensed two groups of people. The previous muffled sound seemed to be the sound of explosives exploding.

Immediately afterwards, a sound of metal collision sounded, which was a melody that Rosen was quite familiar with.

It was the clash of swords.
