Ai Xiaoxiao called in a low voice as she walked into the kitchen, but there was no figure of the cat lady in the familiar position near the stove. She looked around, with a puzzled look on her face. Normally at this time every day
, Miss Delise will come out for a walk.
Tianlan passed by the patio outside and saw her, so she couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing, Xiaoxiao?"
Ai Xiaoxiao turned back: "Have you seen Miss Delise?"
"Miss Delise?" Tian Lan thought for a moment and shook her head: "I really haven't seen her yet. But don't worry, she is elusive and she might appear soon."
Ai Xiaoxiao looked at the small jar filled with dried fish in her arms and was a little disappointed: "Oh."
The sky-blue eyes rolled, and suddenly said mysteriously: "Don't worry about Miss Delise. Let's go, I will take you to see something."
"Eh?"
Ai Xiaoxiao was a little caught off guard and looked at the hand grabbed by Tianlan.
"Remember the cabin that the captain built before? Aren't you curious about the identity of the 'guest'?"
"But, Miss Attila asked us not to disturb it."
"Yes, but they are not here now."
Ai Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and was a little moved: "Then should we tell Tangtang?"
"I don't want it. Brother Ed's cousin is not fun at all. She is very strict."
"Tangtang must be so angry to hear you say that——"
Tianlan lowered her voice: "So you must never tell her."
Ai Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Then the two little girls sneaked towards the stern of the boat.
…
After the dust settled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the dragon's claws fall down.
Red placed the big shield heavily on the ground with a 'dong' sound, and looked back at the disgraced Papalar man, with a trace of amusement in his silver eyes: "Parker, your ability to cause trouble has really not changed at all.
.I remember the last time I was in the Forsaken Temple in Traveler Swamp, yes, and the last time, it was always like this?"
Parker patted the dust on his body, causing a cloud of dust to fly, which made him cough uncontrollably: "Ahem, cough, cough, it wasn't me last time, it was Sky Blue!"
"That cursed mark I was talking about."
"Ha...ahem, what's wrong with a qualified Papalar being curious?"
"But you are not from Papalar."
"Ahem, cough, cough, let me tell you, big cat people, you may not know yet - this is the talent of the Papalar people, yes, what I want to say is that there is no difference between the chosen ones. You know, it is
Something like this——"
"What does it look like?"
"It's... like this."
Alyssa couldn't help laughing.
Attila sighed and stopped the bickering between the two: "So what exactly did you encounter just now, Parker?"
"With a skeleton, how do I know that its head is not properly attached to its neck?" Parker turned around, pointed in one direction and said, "It's right there -"
His eyes suddenly widened and his mouth opened wide. He looked at that place and raised his hands: "Wait a minute, I swear, it was here just now!"
Attila looked at the empty place and sighed again: "There is nothing there, Parker."
"No, it really should be in this place...a skeleton wearing a robe. I can even describe what it looks like to you. The robe is almost like new - except it's a little dirty."
Parker ran over in surprise and lay on the ground, as if trying to find something under the dust, but there was nothing under the dust. He raised his head again and looked around - the light of the torch in Alyssa's hand was shining. It was swaying in the darkness - but the underground passage was empty.
He clearly remembered that the skeleton should be in this place. He reached out to grab the robe and accidentally kicked the skull. By the way, where is the skull?
Even the skull is missing.
Parker almost jumped three feet high. So what exactly did he kick just now? This is really a ghost. He looked at Aitila a little confused and stammered: "What you just saw , that skull..."
At this time, Alyssa said: "I did see a skeleton before."
She pointed in that direction and said: "It is lying there, wearing a robe. Although the robe is covered with a layer of dust, you can still see that the background color is red. The robe is intact and not damaged, at least from my point of view. This is how it looks from the direction.”
"Yes, yes," Parker nodded, "That's definitely the case."
"So where does it go now?"
"I guess it might be an undead creature, you know that kind of thing. It must have escaped while we were fighting -"
Attila sighed: "Undead creatures will not escape, especially low-level undead creatures, Parker."
"What if it's a high-level undead creature?"
"Then why did it run away?"
"Uh, okay, Big Cat Man, you asked a good question..." Parker patted his head: "For example, I mean - maybe it is a pacifist."
Rhett rolled his eyes.
Alyssa also laughed and replied: "If it escapes, someone among us should see it."
"I didn't see it." The big cat man put away his shield and replied.
"Actually, neither did I." Alyssa replied with a smile.
"Then where did it go?" Etila asked, but no one answered her question. The elf girl turned around, looked at Fang Plover who was still distracted, and said softly: "Ed?"
"ah?"
Fang Yu suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at the others in confusion and asked curiously: "What's wrong? What are you discussing?"
"Compared to this," Rhett scratched the mane on his chin with his paw: "What were you thinking about just now?"
Fang Plover couldn't help but look at the place where the dragon's claws fell.
Just now, he clearly saw a black light rising from there and hitting his chest. This shocked him, but after checking it afterwards, it seemed that nothing happened.
When I subconsciously looked through the character list, I unexpectedly found an extra row of attributes under the magic value of the magic furnace. It read:
Unknown element - 1.
This attribute itself is actually nothing strange - most of the chosen ones have such a list of attributes, which is called elemental suitability. Because in Aitaria, magic has elemental nature, and in order to adapt to elemental magic with different natures,
People also often need to have different elemental suitability.
Otherwise, the erosion effect of (elemental) magic power will occur. It can range from injury to death——
The higher the elemental suitability, the greater the total amount of magic power that can be tolerated. Generally speaking, the elemental suitability will increase according to the character's 'level'. This also limits the magic furnaces that people can use.
of different levels.
Fang Plover himself has no elemental aptitude, or the elemental aptitude is magic power without attributes (ordinary people have this aptitude), but although he has no attributes, he still has an aptitude 'level', but he can't see it on ordinary days.
But based on his level, this value should be between two and three.
So, what does this unknown element level one mean? Since it is only level one, it is definitely not his attributeless magic suitability, and Fang Plover has never heard of the term ‘unknown element’.
In Aitaria, people only recognize four color elements - red fire, blue sky, ocher earth and blue water.
In addition, scholars also believe that there is a fifth element, the divine element, light. The ether of light has always been the power controlled by the gods and the source of the magic performed by their followers.
It's just that whether the ether of light is an element or not has not yet been determined. However, in Aitaria, light adaptability does exist, and is even common, because only people with light magic adaptability can be suitable.
Become a priest and priest.
He is also the person favored by the gods.
Apart from this, there is no sixth element.
Although there is a fact that dark power still exists in Aitaria, first of all, people have not found any instances of the existence of dark aether suitability, whether it is current or historical records.
Secondly, the power of darkness has a unique 'erosion' property, but it is not a pure existence - it is not an ether property, but a 'power' that can assimilate the magic of any element except light ether.
.
Since it is not ether, it is not an element.
This is people's consensus.
And this is exactly the reason why he is in a trance.
He looked at his character list again, and then asked with some surprise: "Didn't you see it?"
"what did you see?"
"A black light——"
"Black light?"
"Yes, just now, on the corpse of the dragon's minions..." Fang Pultru then explained in detail what happened before, including the current situation in his character list.
Red and Adela did not understand the Chosen One system. After hearing this, the elf girl frowned and asked: "Are you sure there is nothing wrong, Ed? You said that the black light hit your chest, what happened after that?
"
"Nothing happened after that. Miss Tata and I checked it out," Fang Yu shook his head and replied, "Miss Attila, I'm fine."
"You'll know if it's good or not - stretch out your hand, little one." The big cat man said at this time.
Fang Plover knew that Red, as a paladin, was quite skilled in dealing with dark forces, so he did as he was told. The big cat man's big furry paws pressed on his hands, and a shallow light spread from his palms.
The light swept across Fang Plover's body.
Fang Yu took a step back slightly, then looked at the big cat man.
Rhett had a look of surprise on his face, narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "There seems to be no problem, there is no feedback from the dark power -"
But a smile appeared on the big cat man's face again: "It's the cute little guy inside you who is grinning at me in protest."
Fang Yu took a look and saw that Nini was waving her little fist angrily, as if she had just been woken up.
He quickly comforted the latter and let her fall back to sleep - the newborn dragon soul always needs more time to rest.
"So what exactly is going on?" Aitila asked.
Alyssa was more familiar with the Chosen One system. After thinking about it, she guessed: "...Maybe Mr. Ed absorbed the power of Nicol Bolas. Don't forget how Nini came here.
."
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at his chest, where the ring of golden flames was located. He stretched out his hand to hold the pendant, and seemed to feel a faint warmth from it.
"So this element is suitable?"
"It's the dark element, isn't it? Nicol Bolas has this kind of power. Doesn't it make sense that you absorbed her power, so you have the adaptability to the dark element?" Alisa replied.
"But is the dark element really an element?" Fang Plover asked: "And why does it appear as an unknown element, and I must not feel the existence of dark ether. This seems a bit strange from the general suitability of elements.
"
"That's strange," Elisa replied, "but that's not the only strange thing happening right now."
Fang Yu was startled: "What?"
Alyssa then recounted what happened before.
Fang Yu couldn't help but look in the direction of the Papalar people and frowned. He also remembered that he had seen the skeleton before - he also saw Parker reaching out to pull the robe on the skeleton, and then what happened
A series of things.
Could it be that they saw it wrong?
But how could he, Alyssa and Parker see it all wrong at the same time? He vaguely felt that something was wrong underground, but after looking around, he couldn't find any clues.
He thought for a moment and said: "In short, I can't guess that it is useless to stay here. Let's leave this place first."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
After passing through the dark and deep underground world, the group finally found the first exit after a long time.
It was a secret door, and it was perfectly embedded in a stone wall. The only thing that could be identified was a unique torch latch. If it hadn't been for the clue given by Buunigu, it would have been Miss Nightingale, the sharpest-eyed person in the group.
, I’m afraid I will miss it too.
And regarding this latch, it is said that there was no such difference in the original design, but the smugglers added it deliberately because they were afraid of missing the secret door.
The lion man stepped forward, pressed the latch with his hand and turned it. Even after a hundred years, the mechanism behind the secret door was still functioning. The door made a tooth-gripping sound as it slowly opened back.
.
A smell of dust filled the air.
Fang Plover immediately took out the Clockwork Fairy, but Aitila held down his hand and threw a plant out first. Fang Plover saw the plant with red stems floating lightly on the ground, and it withered immediately.
Attila then said to him: "This is the magic-eating vine. If there is a spell, it will absorb the magic power and survive. Some fallen wizards and necromancers often break into the forest. We use this detection
Their magic."
"But there's more than just one," the big cat man seemed to be deeply troubled, and added: "The druids there planted these thorns in patches. When you go there, you will know how spectacular it is.
"
Fang Yu thought that if he had the chance to go there, he would definitely go and see it. He had also longed for the Hill of Giant Trees - it was not only the hometown of the forest elves, but also the kingdom of Sanshak and the Papalar people.
.
The magic-eating vine withered away, proving that there was no detection magic in this direction and that no magician was paying attention to this direction. Fang Plover was relieved to release his clockwork goblin. After about a few minutes, he detected the situation in front of him.
Everything is clear.
No danger was found behind, and the Blood Shark Pirates didn't seem to notice the existence of such a secret passage - at least in this direction.
After the group passed through the secret door, the first thing running across the floor was a large group of chirping rats. It can only be said that it was lucky that Tianlan and Jita were not there, otherwise the two little girls would have screamed in fright.
Continuing up the stairs at the back, there is another secret door. The lion man used a lot of strength to push it open, and the secret door has led to the surface. Looking in from the outside, the design of this secret passage is very clever.
If they don't know that this is the entrance in advance, it is impossible for ordinary people to guess that there is another mystery below.
Fang Plover walked out of the secret passage, looked around, and quickly recognized this place.
"I've been here before during my investigation," he was a little surprised: "I still remember the nearby terrain. Not far ahead is the first excavation point of the Blood Shark Pirates. It looks like we are lucky."
"A good beginning," the big cat man said, wiping his hair, "usually indicates a good sign."
"But we have to leave one person to guard the door, and we will have to come back later." Fang Plover said again.
"I'll do it," Red volunteered: "Wearing such a suit of armor is not suitable for sneaking in."
Fang Yu nodded.
The group of people left the secret passage and headed north along a path in the ruins. Not long after, they saw fire coming from the front. Fang Plover looked up in that direction and recognized that it was the excavation site he had seen before.
He turned back and whispered: "Miss Etila, do you still have the magic-eating vine?"
The elf lady nodded, without saying much, and threw one forward. The spell-devouring vine fell to the ground and quickly came to life. It seemed to grow in the wind, and rustled in one direction.
Seeing this scene, Fang Plover understood that there was a spell effect in that direction without Attila having to say anything.
But he was not in a hurry, and instead took out a construct that looked a bit like the Lurker TS-1 and threw it forward. The construct fell to the ground like a dead leaf, and automatically
Opening it up, there seemed to be some faint spots of light in the air that were fleeting.
That is a disruptor, a lurker variant with an interference module installed. However, it cannot interfere with the spells of most elementalists and wizards. However, it is often very effective against such stationary barrier detection spells.
The Disruptor can be used three times after it is fully charged, each lasting about five minutes. And it is made of a special material, so it will not be detected by most spells.
When Fang Yu saw those flashing spots, he understood that the disruptor had taken effect, and immediately made a gesture to the others, instructing them to follow him and pass through the passage created by the disruptor.
However, when he passed the interferer, he did not put it away, but planned to return from here later.
