Chapter 117 Midnight Crystal and Relic Transmission
However, although Anvis took away the scepter in advance, judging from the calm look in Ren's eyes, he seemed to have gained some new adventures before.
This is a very interesting feature of the Children of Destiny. If the adventures they are supposed to get are lost due to some accidents, the Web of Destiny will rearrange new adventures for them after adjustment.
Then over a long period of time, try to correct their fate lines to their original trajectories.
This kind of correction takes different forms, and sometimes some high-level prophets will take the initiative to arrange it on their behalf.
In this process, the power originally expended by the Web of Destiny to correct the fate line will be converted into an equal proportion of fate feedback to the prophet.
"Anvis, look here, the inner core of these stone pillars seems to be somewhat different from the surface."
At this time, Claire suddenly let out a low cry and pointed to a stone pillar on the side.
There was a huge tearing claw mark at the base of the stone pillar, and the tip was deeply embedded in the center of the stone pillar.
But under the radiance of the candlelight technique, the black rock at the bottom of the claw mark groove shone with a crystal-like light, and there was a clear dividing line with the surrounding rock on the outer layer of the stone pillar.
Anvis casually threw a magic light ball over, but after the white light ball attached to it, it dimmed very quickly.
In contrast, in the dark color of the crystal, there were suddenly some tiny white star points, emitting a faint light and magical atmosphere.
"That is midnight crystal, a special high-level dark attribute material. There is no magic aura emitted from the surface, but it can absorb up to seventh-level magic. It will only be generated in an environment that is dark enough and has natural crystal veins.
It can be used as a casting material to assist in casting some special dark magic, or to absorb magic props that weaken light element attacks.
Due to its relatively unpopular use, although it is rare, its value among high-end materials is very average, and the market price is about five thousand gold coins per unit."
After a brief test, Anvis immediately confirmed the true identity of the crystal stone.
"However, it is relatively rare to find a complete midnight crystal pillar of such a large size like this stone pillar. If there were all of them in this stone pillar, the market price would probably reach nearly one million gold coins.
Of course, it might be possible for us..."
After tapping the stone pillar lightly with his staff, Anvis casually made an evaluation of the crystals in the stone pillar based on his own knowledge.
However, when he saw the light in the girl's blue eyes, he instinctively swallowed the word 'not much use' again.
Forgot, Claire is not him.
"...nearly one million gold coins?"
Upon hearing this number that sounded like gold, Claire's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although she is not usually short of money, replenishing various high-end adventure equipment, alchemy vehicles, portable houses, etc. is still very expensive.
What's more, sometimes she needs to buy some ancient relics that she likes at the auction house, which is a huge expense.
In order to raise these funds, she not only sold most of the treasures she had obtained during her previous expeditions, but in order to save money, most of the food she carried during her expeditions were ordinary low-level Warcraft jerky and wild mushrooms.
"Then, are there more of these stone pillars around?"
After calming down a little, the half-elf girl did not dig it out immediately, but immediately looked at the hundreds of other stone pillars in the hall.
Is this a midnight crystal mine?
"It's possible, but Senior Sister Claire, it's not easy to get them out."
Anvis shook his head and threw one away.
"This kind of black rock is very hard and has a certain resistance to magic. If you want to use magic to completely dig out the crystals in this stone pillar, even if it is a real fourth-level professional, it will consume a lot of money.
Besides, the probability that there are crystals in these stone pillars is actually not high."
As he said that, Anvis pointed to the other two stone pillars that were also torn apart by huge claw marks, but no black crystal was exposed.
"So, we just need to dig out the crystal in this pillar. In this kind of ruins with an unknown future, even if there is temporary ninth-level protection, it is best to preserve enough mana to prevent accidents."
"Okay, Avis, you have a point."
Claire nodded with some regret, and she also understood that the current situation was not actually suitable for large-scale mining.
Pressing her left hand on the rock, Claire's magic power emitted, gradually softening the rock and pushing it aside. Anvis was doing the same thing.
For a moment, after consuming a lot of magic power, the two of them worked together to dig out a complete huge jet black crystal pillar.
The entire crystal column core is nearly half a meter thick and crystal clear, but its height is much shorter than previously guessed, only three or four meters long.
Claire proposed that each of them should get half of it, but Anvis used the reason that dividing this complete piece of material was a waste, so he paid 410,000 gold coins to acquire the girl's half.
At the same time, Anvis glanced at two teams in the distance who were also digging for something.
Judging from their actions, they should have also discovered the crystal in the stone pillar.
One of the teams was the team that Luo Qi, Alyssa and others belonged to.
However, their speed is much slower than Anvis's two.
After all, the students who choose to enter here usually come from lower backgrounds, or are relatively unpopular in their families, so they choose to take risks and explore the corridors.
And those children of destiny have more or less hidden their strength, resulting in the overall strength still being low.
At this time, the son of destiny, Renn, who was paid special attention by Anvis, and the player girl [Summer Night Firefly], together with others, rushed to the surface of the altar, curiously studying the big clock.
When Avis looked over, Xiaye Yinghuo was talking to Ren standing next to her.
At this time, Xiaye Yinghuo's panel suddenly jumped out without warning, attracting Anvis's attention.
At the top of the panel, a latest task prompt appears.
[You have triggered the special plot mission ‘The End of Bomia’]
"Anvis, what are you looking at?"
Claire's slightly confused voice came from beside her. For some reason, this voice was slightly illusory and distorted.
"I'm looking……"
Anvis opened his mouth and wanted to turn his head, but he felt that the air seemed to be frozen, making him unable to move at all.
At the same time, the huge stone bell on the altar, which was originally like an ordinary handicraft, suddenly emitted a faint white light.
This light was like a source of infection. Under its reflection, the entire interior of the huge cave hall also began to emit white light.
And this kind of light also began to spread rapidly to other directions of the ruins.
"Wait! Look!"
Outside the city, a yawning mage accidentally noticed this scene. He couldn't help but keep his mouth open and pointed his fingers in the direction of the ruins, signaling to his colleagues nearby.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and under the warm golden sunset, the ancient ruins lying tilted in the huge crater suddenly began to glow on their own.
The Sky Clock Tower, the Great Magic Library, the Platinum Tower, the Magic Research Institute... all the buildings in the ruins are now shrouded in a hazy white light!
The next moment, the brightness of this white light suddenly increased countless times, and in a violent flash, the entire ruins disappeared out of thin air in an instant!
"what happened?!"
Seeing this shocking scene, the ninth level and many academy mages who stayed outside the ruins were immediately shocked. Especially the many middle and low level academy mages, their faces turned pale with shock.
This year's Pamir Academy competition was held in the ruins, and the vast majority of Pamir students are currently in the ruins! They even include the descendants of the four major families of the royal family and the empire, and the marquis!
If something went wrong during this competition and thousands of students lost contact with them, the royal family would probably be the first to let them go.
"Relocate the ruins immediately!"
Many mages hurriedly began to locate the location of the ruins, but the final location made everyone feel a little cold.
The location of the ruins... is in the endless sea!
