Lord of Arcane

Chapter 272 Confident Epps
"My lord, the sky here is the sky outside." Xia Duo took the initiative to introduce.

He had introduced Lord Epps about the Ruins of Mysia on the boat before, but he had somewhat missed it. Seeing Lord Epps looking up at the sky, Xia Duo thought he had doubts about the sky here.

It's just that Lord Epps didn't respond to his words. It took a long time before he said, "The magic net here has been artificially reconstructed. It's really an astonishing skill!"

"..."

"You do it yourself, I'll check the environment inside the fan lock!"

After speaking, Epps cast [Flying], soaring into the sky, and flew into the distance.

After Lord Epps left, Xia Duo immediately took out his notes and recorded the process of Lord Epps's spell-casting just now, and the process was very short.

Although it was just a glance, it was enough for Xia Duo to write down a few insignificant elements of [Flying].

Even, if Lord Epps is willing to act as a spell-casting machine for him and cast spells all the time, he can fully deduce the [flying technique].

But now, even if it's just a few insignificant elements, it will allow him to avoid detours when researching [Flying Technique] in the absence of information.

Not only that, Xia Duo was inspired by Lord Epps' spellcasting just now, and he can also purchase [Flight] scrolls in large quantities.

Encryption is not foolproof. The essence of magic is the operation of the magic net. As long as this essence remains unchanged, then encryption is nothing more than a higher cost of cracking.

Whether it is cracking scrolls or creating new magic, what is needed is an understanding of the nature of the magic net and the principles of magic, and Xia Duo has never relaxed in this regard.

It's just that Xia Duo hasn't studied [Levitation] thoroughly yet, so buying the scroll of [Fly] and cracking the magic is only a backup option.

Maybe, he himself can deduce [Flying] from the series of spells like [Mage Hand]!

Putting away the notes, Xia Duo thought of another question. Although Lord Epps' spellcasting process was very short just now, he still saw——

The [Flying Art] is not just a third-level magic, but it has been upgraded like Xia Duo upgraded [Mage Armor].

And this also made Xia Duo affirm that his upgrade path has not gone astray!

……

Lord Epps flew away, and Xia Duo was not idle. He tried the meta bag first and found that it could be used normally.

You must know that the dimension bag was still unusable the last time he entered the fan lock, maybe this is the harbinger of the fan lock's collapse!

It's just useless to think too much, Xia Duo took out the shovel, casually found a "grid" that hadn't been searched before, and started searching.

Of course, all of this was done for Lord Epps, Xia Duo told him in this way-I did this before, maybe I picked up some things, but don't worry about your family's big business!
In addition, it is also a reminder to him - the ruins are given to you, but the benefits cannot be missed.

In the beginning, Xia Duo just put on a show, but digging treasures is addictive, and as he dug, he became more and more devoted.

when--

A dull and short metal collision sound woke up Xia Duo. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had already dug a 2 or 3 square meter pit.

The deepest part was only half a foot deep, and it had already reached the bottom stone slab. The sound of metal collision just now was that his shovel had touched some metal object.

If it can be preserved for such a long time, it must be a treasure, it's just a question of how much it is worth.

Xia Duo poked the shovel in the lump of soil just shoveled out, and there was another sound of metal collision, and the rightful owner was also picked out, revealing a trace of his true colors——

It was a palm-sized, dull gray ball, with a silvery-white metallic luster showing in its fine details.

Looking at this thing, Xia Duo couldn't help sighing, took out the water bag from the dimensional bag, poured it out, and the sundries on the ball were washed away, revealing more luster.

At this time, it can already be seen that this is a hollowed-out mithril ball!

Before this, he had already unearthed one. This thing seems to be of high value, but it is not a magic item. For Xia Duo, it is just a raw material of Mithril.

Unless a suitable buyer can be found, it can only be sold at a premium as an elf handicraft.

Otherwise, this bit of Mithril is not worth much at all. (The price of mithril and fine gold is 10 times that of gold, which is not uncommon. Of course, occasionally there will be a premium because of the price but no market, but the premium will not be too high.)
But no matter what, gaining something is better than nothing. Xia Duo picked up the mithril ball and continued to rinse it with water until the gap inside could be seen.

At this moment, Lord Epps came down from the sky with the sound of the wind, and he saw the shining hollow mithril ball in Xia Duo's hand at a glance. In addition to the detection method on the ground, there is no doubt that it was dug here.

"Nice elf toy!" Seeing that Xia Duo was about to hand over the mithril ball, Epps waved his hand, "You can keep it."

No matter what is in the ruins, in the eyes of Epps, it is not as good as the crystallization of the plane. With the crystallization of the plane, there are infinite possibilities.

What's more, it's just a mithril product, he is not greedy to this extent.

"Go, let's go out first!"

The two quickly crossed the boundary line between decay and vitality on the edge of the ruins, and came to the outside of the mystical lock. Epps took out the communication magic weapon, fiddled with it, and then said to Xia Duo:
"Next, I will study the composition of the mythos in the ruins. During this time, you can come to the mythos to search for valuable items, and at the same time report the changes in the water element environment outside. As for the rewards for reporting the mythos ruins, etc. I'll give it to you when I return to the Tower of Time."

Xia Duo really wanted to say no, but he couldn't say no, so he could only agree, but at the same time, he also asked his own question: "My lord, is there any danger of Misuo collapsing?"

"You can leave at any time if you sense danger." At this moment, Epps was full of confidence. After reading the letter left by his grandfather, he believed that as long as there was a plane crystal in the ruins, he would definitely find it.

If you can't find it, then you don't have it!

And it didn't take long. Out of his superstition on the power of the Grand Arcanist, he believed that if his grandfather really thought about this issue, then this matter must be within his handling range.

Now that Lord Epps has said so, Xia Duo can't say anything more, but he just made up his mind that as long as the environment of the water element outside changes to a certain extent, no matter whether the mythos collapses or not, he will run away.

It is not wise for him, a small middle-level mage, to get involved in this kind of thing. It is true to hide in the Tower of Time as soon as possible to keep safe.

……

In the next few days, Xia Duo went to the Mysuo ruins every day for archaeology, and reported the changes in the water element environment outside.

And Lord Epps seems to have made full preparations for this exploration, and he released a lot of magic items with unknown uses.

In the beginning, Xia Duo only thought that he was studying the mythos, but as time passed, the expression on Lord Epps' face began to become anxious.

Xia Duo didn't dare to ask more questions, and didn't even dare to stay in the Mystic for too long, for fear of offending him. Later, every time Xia Duo reported the situation of the water element, he just dug a few shovels and quickly exited the Mystic.
