"Anyway, I arrived at Dilas at the end of the Zhongyang month."
After laughing, Evan continued to tell about his experience, while Anvis listened with a smile.
"My subordinates spent three days collecting information about the gem, the harmonizer, and the mysterious black sailing ship.
Three days later, the results of the investigation were on my desk.
News of gems and harmonizers has not spread far, but what is certain is that the two chambers of commerce in Port Delas, as well as several individual gem workers, are also aware of their existence.
The big black sailing ship only entered the harbor for two days at the beginning of Zhongyang, and then set off and returned, never to be seen again.
So, I waited there for two and a half months.
It was not until the middle of the Hearthfire Moon that the black sailing ship those merchants called it once again rode the ocean currents and slowly appeared from the horizon of the Sea of Mist."
Evan waved his hand, and in mid-air in front of the two of them, the projection of a wonderful and cute mini black sailboat appeared out of thin air.
It was a three-legged sailboat, with densely packed black oars protruding from both sides like centipedes. Under the hull, there were even transformed sea surfaces and waves.
“To be honest, my first impression of that ship was very strange, with an indescribable sense of depression.
When it entered the port, some islanders wrapped in thick turbans and scarves disembarked from the ship and traded some special products of the Yare continent with the merchants at the port.
Although they may seem a little taciturn, that does not diminish the enchanting brilliance of the gems and harmonies in their hands.”
"My family bodyguard and I pretended to be members of the chamber of commerce who went to investigate the environment, and met with their captain on the grounds that we hoped to acquire gems and harmonize them in the long term.
After learning of my purpose, he agreed that I should follow the ship to the island to inspect the gem mines and the places where the harmonic elixir is produced."
"As for the island..."
Speaking of this, Evan couldn't help but shook his head.
"Although it is an island in name, in fact, the area there is much larger than an ordinary island.
Moreover, there seems to be some kind of strange force field covering that land, causing the wild monsters on the island to become very strange.
The reason why the people on the island can still maintain a normal life depends entirely on the protective force field of a strange ancient temple in the center of the island town."
"Of course, since there are eighth-level family guards here, neither the mutated monsters nor the alienated force fields on the island pose a threat to me.
After investigating the only town on the island, I got some preliminary understanding of the island.
The islanders living on the island believe that the wilderness of the island is "a land cursed by the gods."
And the town where they have lived for generations is called ‘Lavanlais’, which is translated into Mani language as ‘the blessed place’.
The ‘Heart of Amys’ and ‘Dust of Amys’ are both produced from the ancient mountain mines on the other side of the island.”
"I received a special message from an old man on the island.
Among the ancient and terrifying mountains on the island, there is a straight cliff like a knife on one side of the tallest and majestic mountain.
On the surface of that rock wall, there are some ancient and huge weird rock reliefs carved, which resemble a combination of faceless human figures and ancient crinoids.
And underneath those huge stone walls, there is a deep cave.
There is a place where a certain cult of strange gods performed sacrificial rituals in ancient times."
"Did you know? Anvis! On the altar in the deepest part of the cave, I found the biggest gain of this trip!
Regardless of the Heart of Amys or the Dust of Amys, compared with that thing, they can only be regarded as accompaniments before the main course——"
Looking at Anvis who seemed very curious about his words, Evan smiled mysteriously and stood up slowly.
"Want to see my biggest gain this time, Avis?"
"Of course, brother Evan."
Avis had a suitably interested look on his face and stood up as well.
"Come with me--"
With that said, Evan took the lead and walked up the spiral staircase on the side of the reception room, followed by Anvis.
After leaving the reception room, which was filled with golden light, the two of them crossed the suspended corridor bridge and arrived at the magic tower on the side of the Lord's Mansion.
Evan used his mental power and confirmed the authority with the tower spirit. Then he led Anvis directly into the magic laboratory on the fourth floor of the tower.
"Look, this is it, my most important discovery in this entire journey!"
Moving towards a transparent isolation cover in the center of the laboratory, Evan proudly stretched out his hand to signal.
Through the dense defensive formations, Anvis finally saw what Evan admired so much.
An ancient statue about a person tall, carved entirely from a large piece of pure phantom purple gemstone——
The statue has an extremely weird appearance, with the overall structure resembling a faceless woman.
But underneath that smooth body that exuded a coquettish purple light, huge, wildly twisting tentacles extended out.
Strange black divine patterns that are incomprehensible are spread all over the smooth body surface of the statue.
Especially on those huge tentacles, the lines are even more densely packed, with a kind of crazy and weird charm.
Just a distant glance through the protection of the heavy gravity field made Anvis feel a little dizzy.
And, although what is located here is only his own flesh and blood clone.
But Anvis could feel a cold and strange force entrenched in the statue.
When he noticed that kind of power, the old secret scriptures carried by his body suddenly emitted a faint wave.
After this fluctuation was transmitted to Anvis's spiritual sea, he had a hazy feeling.
The Mysteries of the Old Ones... longing for them?
Writing down this detail calmly, Anvis slowly frowned, his eyes filled with doubts, and he turned to Evan.
"Brother Evan, this statue seems to be some kind of ancient statue of an alien god?"
"To be precise, it should be the statue of the God's Attendant——"
Looking at the faceless face of the statue in confusion, Evan shook his head with a little regret, his tone full of regret.
"It's a pity, but this shouldn't be the main object of worship of the alien god cult.
Although this statue also contains a lot of power of faith in foreign gods, it is obviously not up to the level of the main statue.
Moreover, on that huge stone rock wall, its image is only located on the side, not in the center."
"I'm sorry, Anvis, I can only let you watch through the protection.
If you let go of these defenses, let alone you, even I, who have broken through to the sixth level, will have a hard time withstanding the huge information impact of the divine patterns on the statue's surface.
Thanks to the family's eighth-level guard, otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort to successfully bring it back."
Having said this, Evan couldn't help but pursed his lips, with a look of stimulation and aftertaste.
