But when the contents from the crack poured out, there was indeed a pile of gold coins and miscellaneous things gathered on the ground.
Matthew threw a detection spell and estimated it with his naked eyes.
The gold coins here are about 200,000.
Gold coins are all small gold coins issued by the alliance. This kind of gold coin is actually not very heavy. In fact, it only has a surface layer made of gold mixed with other metals, and it is hollow inside.
You can judge the quality of small gold coins by the echo produced by gently flicking the surface of the gold coins.
Theoretically, the currency value of this small alliance gold coin should be much lower than the normal weight of pure gold coins.
However, in the continent of Irondor, at least in the south, these small gold coins are as unimpeded as pure gold coins.
Because what it represents is the credibility and authority of the Seven Saints Alliance.
So even though these small gold coins look very plasticky, it doesn't stop Matthew from liking them at all.
The only regret is.
According to the principle of sharing, he and Rhaegar would share half.
Think so.
Matthew's heart seemed to be bleeding, and unknowingly, the look he looked at Rhaegar became unkind.
However, Rhaegar didn't notice this at all.
He excitedly circled the pile of gold coins twice.
Then he raised a handful of gold coins and sprinkled them on the ground.
Rhaegar happily said to Matthew:
"I take back what I just said. This zombie lady is simply our lucky girl. Next time something similar happens, please be sure to let her take action."
"Sif's coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon. This money can be used as pocket money for her. After all, his father got it through difficult adventures. This gift must be particularly meaningful to her."
Upon hearing this.
Matthew's eyes suddenly softened.
He didn't mean anything else.
I just feel that the relationship between father and daughter is very warm.
Next it’s time to count the props.
Spencer left behind a lot of things, most of which were magic materials, magic scrolls, and some strange items.
Matthew quickly sifted through it and found several valuable magic props.
The first is a pendant wrapped in purple metal that he hangs on his chest and stored close to his body.
The metal shell of the pendant is so big that it can almost fit into Matthew's hand.
Through the hollow gap in the metal shell, Matthew could see a clear yellow gemstone inside.
Obviously, this gem is the haste gem that Spencer stole from the alliance's secret vault.
It is said that it can break the limit on the number of spells cast per day, quickly refresh the cooling time, and allow a mage to cast a large number of spells multiple times in a day.
Of course, this is not without cost.
According to the news that Rhaegar saw, Spencer and others have suffered from spell-casting addiction.
For the mage, this symptom is very fatal. Even if Matthew doesn't kill him, he is actually not far from death.
Therefore, the haste gem is classified as a taboo item by the alliance, and usually only mages who have applied and received permission can borrow this item.
Matthew held the pendant in his hand and looked closely, and found a secret lock on it.
This secret lock was very profound. The keyhole was a coffee-colored gem. There was a large amount of milk-colored liquid flowing in the gem. Matthew took a quick look and felt that his body was being sucked in by a milky-white vortex.
He quickly looked away.
But despite this, he still felt the veins on his forehead twitching, which was a sign that his mental energy was being consumed a lot.
"It's the alliance's secret magic lock. It's of a very high level. It requires at least a fifth-level mage to decipher it. Once you fall into the illusion above, you may not be able to recover for ten days and a half."
Matthew put away the purple pendant with lingering fear.
It seems that although Spencer stole the gem of rapidity, he didn't have time to use it. I don't know what he was thinking at the time, but he actually defected from the alliance for something that he wouldn't use for a while.
There must be a reason for this.
Unfortunately, Spencer was too serious and didn't write a diary, so it was difficult for Matthew to see the full story of the incident.
About arcane locks and haste gems.
Matthew planned to study it on his own for a period of time. If he couldn't find a way to use it, he would find a way to lure the mages in the alliance. It was not impossible to simply return it. Then he would have to test whether the alliance was willing to increase the reward of the wanted order.
Next are three items that were ripped from Spencer's body.
…
"Hard-shell robe: Under normal conditions, it looks like an ordinary robe, providing 1 point of armor and a small amount of physical recovery.
When activated or when the caster is in danger, the hard-shell robe will bulge sharply to form a ball, which will tightly protect all parts except the head.
At this time, the armor provided by the hard-shell robe is 13 points (equivalent to heavy armor-level defense).
Note: Why not protect your head? Because the mage who placed the order didn't pay enough, it's that simple.
——A certain unknown Alliance alchemist"
…
"Dragon Skin Belt: Strength +1; slowly increases the recovery speed of mana;
In particular, the dragon skin belt can greatly enhance the strength of the waist and abdomen.
Note: Originally, I made this belt just to win a sit-up competition.
Unexpectedly, it turned me into a duck king famous in the City of Flowers.
——A certain unknown Alliance alchemist"
…
"Fairy Necklace: Charm +1; slightly increases the success rate of divination.
When you wear this necklace, your mood can easily become extremely optimistic.
Regarding everything in the future, you feel that your wishes will come true.
This kind of optimism will infect the people around you to a certain extent, making you more attractive and easier to achieve.
Note: It is suitable for people in desperate situations. For example, I am now in a desperate situation. A few days ago, I lost all my money due to gambling. After wearing this necklace, I suddenly became optimistic, so I found a necromancer to sell it.
I robbed my own body and used the deposit for my body to enter the casino again. This time I will be able to make money back, for sure.
——Not well-known”
…
The properties of these three pieces of magic equipment each have their own merits.
Although the hard-shell robe cannot protect the head, it is a bit useless, but the high armor of 13 points and the light clothing are enough to make countless soldiers cry silently.
To put it on, just add a piece of magic armor above the neck.
Needless to say, the dragonhide belt is an item worth wearing without thinking.
Only the fairy necklace made Matthew frown.
Although the improvement of charm and the increase in the success rate of prophecy spells are also excellent, overly optimistic emotions may often lead to overturning.
He classified the necklace as "a prop that may come in handy under certain circumstances" and threw it into the spare compartment of the magic bag.
Compared with its attributes, Matthew was more curious about the alchemist who left the note.
Being able to produce three magic items of this level at the same time, it goes without saying that the level of the alchemist is high.
Just judging from the tone of the note, the dragon skin belt and fairy necklace were both used by him, but now they are in Spencer's hands.
Matthew guessed that his ending might not be good.
And among all the magic props.
What Matthew is excited about recently is a crystal clear skull.
It is also the most valuable thing on Spencer's body.
…
"The Skull of Augustus (exclusive weapon for necromancer/level 5 spell-casting medium): After the great necromancer Augustus became a lich, he trained his head into a weapon. This weapon is used in
After a long period of hard work, it has lost a lot of its spirituality, but it is still a sharp weapon for the Necromancer.
Basic effect: Every thirty seconds, you can control the Skull of Augustus to launch a ball of undead fire or a negative energy missile (no consumption) towards a target within thirty meters.
1. Wrath of the Undead: The effects of spells in the undead domain are greatly improved
2. Double casting: When you cast a spell related to negative energy, there will be a 50% chance of a double casting effect.
3. Soul of the Lich: A small amount of Augustus’ soul is sealed in this head. You can ask him three questions every week, but he may not answer you directly.
4. Thousands of Frozen Miles (legendary spell/level reduction): Every month, you can activate the legendary spell "Frozen Miles" once, and the chanting time is shortened to 6 seconds. Due to the spiritual retreat, the spell effect is reduced to level 5
.
5. Feeding (passive effect): You can feed food into the Skull of Augustus. Different foods will bring different passive effects.
During this period, it will surround you, blocking a small amount of stray arrows for you, and providing you with different buffs.
Requirements for use: a fourth-level necromancer or a third-level necromancer who has mastered the relevant magic field.
Instructions for use: Synchronicity."
…
There is no doubt that this is an excellent weapon for the Necromancer!
It can perfectly replace the function of a staff or spell book.
Matthew has longed for such a weapon for too long.
He had seen similar items in the alliance mall, but the prices were ridiculously high.
As a non-consumable magic weapon, even if it is level 5, the price is more expensive than the legendary props that Matthew has seen as consumables.
Matthew even speculated that the skull of Augustus was the fundamental reason why the Alliance was eager to arrest Spencer.
He felt a strong breath of necromancy magic above his head.
Regrettably.
The current Matthew is not qualified to synchronize with the Skull of Augustus.
His level is only third level, and he has not yet mastered the field of necromancy.
Strange to say.
It stands to reason that Matthew often uses necromancy, and he must have accumulated a lot of related elements, but he has never mastered the field of necromancy.
On the contrary, the transformation spell, which I had just practiced for a short time, was a success.
This made Matthew inevitably doubtful.
"Is it Rhaegar's problem?"
Unfortunately, this speculation cannot be tested.
Rhaegar is still alive and well after all.
He can't just think about how to turn him into a Dark Knight right now, right?
That's too inhumane.
…
At that moment, the two quickly divided the spoils, and Rhaegar was still very much like a lord brother.
He claimed that he did not contribute much and only paid for half of the gold coins, leaving nothing else untouched.
Matthew fully demonstrated the temperament of a wild goose plucking its hair.
Not only did he put Spencer's body into a body bag for Renesmee to carry, he also picked up some usable Blighter corpses.
After that, the two checked the situation on the platform again, and after confirming that nothing was missing, they walked up the stairs to the upper level.
As Matthew saw before, the Cloud Hotel is in the shape of a spindle, and the third to last floor is the middle floor.
Going up further, there is a slightly narrower platform.
The difference is that there are some dead trees planted here, and their shapes are very similar to the ominous tree below.
Matthew guessed it was a Blighter ritual.
These should be the stronger ones among the trees that they robbed of their lives.
He felt the aura of decay from these trees.
Even if you stay next to them.
He seemed to feel that his life was passing faster.
This is the origin of the ceremonial venue of Winter of All Things.
Through this ritual, the withered one uses hot and humid snowflakes as a medium to spread the power of withering, restlessness, and destruction.
They encourage all life to self-destruct and wither quickly, in order to draw on the power of nature and maintain or even enhance their own power.
All things will eventually wither, let others wither early, and because you are the spokesperson of wither, you can wither later.
This is the teachings of the Order of Blight.
Matthew and Rhaegar quickly destroyed the trees here.
The ceremony venue was destroyed.
…
"Tip: You destroyed the Blighter's ceremonial site "Winter of All Things", and you gained an additional 100 points of strengthening experience!"
…
"Destruction is always easier than creation and maintenance."
Feeling the collapse of the ceremony venue.
Matthew felt quite emotional.
The buildings on this level are exactly the same as those below. Except for the camps built by the Blighters themselves, they are all tree houses or mud buildings left by the cloud elves.
These buildings are far from beautiful, but they are closely arranged on the aerial platform and have an independent beauty of their own.
finally.
The two of them reached the top.
There is a pointed tree tower standing here. To the east of the tree tower, a huge tent is erected. The tent is surrounded by spell traps, which should be Spencer's things.
Matthew and A Bing spent a lot of effort to find a way out of the trap.
They walked to the tent.
What came into view was a hammock, and the space behind the hammock was isolated, and faint cries could be heard inside.
Rhaegar stepped forward and opened the isolation curtain, only to see that the room was filled with animal cages, and more than thirty bullywug larvae were crying uneasily inside.
There is also an experimental bench in the middle.
Next to the experimental table were two corpses of bullywug larvae.
There is also a cut heart on the board on the stage.
And an experimental diary with a purple cover.
Matthew frowned and opened the experiment log. There wasn't much text in it, so he glanced at it casually.
…
"I heard that before the Tianlun Palace was ascended, the Bullywugs were the dependents of a certain god who controlled the time domain.
Therefore, the bullywug royal family has a lifespan comparable to that of wood elves.
Unlike other races, the bullywugs' royal blood is evenly spread throughout every larvae.
As they grow, they may awaken their royal bloodline and become an upper caste with golden skin.
The above information comes from the Alliance Library.
I think it's all bullshit.
I cut into three larvae today, and even in their hearts, I couldn't find a drop of royal blood.
It shows that the alliance itself is bullshit."
…
"Working with the Blighters is really stupid.
These people are poor and smelly.
A character like Kunna, even if it was given to me before the change, I would not take it.
But since leaving the alliance, such opportunities have become rare.
I must seize every opportunity to vent.
Otherwise, I might not be able to restrain my urge to cast spells again.
Damn it, it's so itchy, I really want to cast a spell, even if I throw a tongue of fire!
It turns out that the reason why the Blighters were willing to help me steal the Frogger cubs was because they hoped that through this action, they would make the Bullywugs angry and make them fall into the Blight realm.
What a bunch of lunatics.
What’s so good about the Blighted Field!
I have decided that no matter how Kunna tempts me, I will reject her tonight."
…
"I couldn't refuse Kunna.
Because the urge to cast spells is getting more and more serious.
I can feel it gnawing at my bones.
That is by no means an illusion.
Heart-eating insects are real.
I don't have much time.
I must produce enough results for that adult.
Only then will there be a chance to gain a chance of survival.
Damn it, ordinary bullywugs are not good at all, what I want is the blood of the real bullywug royal family!"
…
"I played something new with Kunna today.
My butt hurts a little now.
I must ask the kitchen to put less chili pepper.
Why.
My waist also hurts.
Fortunately, the symptoms of urge to cast have been greatly reduced today.
I will have the energy to cut up a few more bullywug cubs, and I can also speed up the pace of deciphering the secret doors.
Miss the alliance.
After I finish deciphering the secret door, maybe I should go back and surrender.
Even staying in the prison in Heisuo Mountain is better than being in this hellish place.
Well, that’s it.”
…
After reading it, Matthew's expression was a little rich.
Unexpectedly, although this guy didn't write a diary, he wrote his inner thoughts in the experiment diary.
There is not much content about the experiment in the log.
There were a lot of complaints.
pity.
Spencer has no chance of surrendering.
Now Matthew and Rhaegar worked together and decided to notify the bullywug tribe to rescue their children.
Matthew left this matter to Rhaegar.
The bullywugs have always respected the Alliance mages, and Matthew would not gain more if he personally came forward.
But if it is Rhaegar, it means that there will be an opportunity to establish more friendship between Rolling Stone and the Bullywug tribe.
Anyway, it's a favor, so Matthew is naturally happy to give it.
Now the two soldiers divided into two groups.
Rhaegar went down to find the bullywug village.
Matthew came to the tree tower outside the tent.
In the center of the tree tower is the secret door Spencer mentioned in his experiment log.
Matthew walked over.
He placed his hands on the secret door.
…
"Tip: You found the portal to the ruins on the cloud (abandoned/encrypted)!
