After confirming that there were no other dangers around, Lawrence began to collect trophies at the entrance of the mine. What made him feel a little regretful was that the undead creatures might not have many souls left in their bodies because they had already died once, at least like this
This is indeed the case for low-level undead creatures.
For example, the soul gain from the eight zombies plus an undead dog he killed today was far lower than he imagined, only about 1/5 of the soul gained from defeating ordinary monsters.
After collecting the available materials from these monsters and putting them into the space bag on his waist, Lawrence walked along the path towards the mine that was surrounded by a dilapidated wooden wall.
The entire mine is actually built in a small valley, and the gate of the mine is located at the only gap in the small valley. As he goes deeper, Lawrence discovers that there is a circle of hills surrounding the valley.
There are more than a dozen mines, large and small. The small one can only accommodate one person walking upright. The large one is as big as a house. There is a steam engine for pumping and ventilation at the entrance, and there are still simple tracks on the ground.
Mark of.
It's just that the owner of the mine was a relatively prudent person and took away all valuable things when he left. When Lawrence approached the boiler that looked like the corpse of a long-dead beast, he found that most of the boilers were
The metal parts have been taken away, leaving only some brick-like furnaces and wooden mechanical structures still in place.
[Detect Magic], standing in the center of the flat land of the mine, Lawrence once again released this magic to detect the entire valley. Soon he discovered that there was a magical aura appearing in the largest mine directly opposite the gate.
"Something is wrong." Lawrence frowned as he looked at the dark entrance to the mine. As a spell caster, even a warlock like himself has many ways to isolate magic auras and hide treasures, not to mention those who have mastered a large number of
A mage with magical knowledge. If there is really a mage treasure hidden in this place, it cannot be found so easily.
"It seems that the situation inside may not be consistent with the content on the treasure map, but no matter what, I'm here, so let's go in and have a look." Thinking of this, Lawrence re-checked his firearms, and then made a gesture of holding the gun in his left hand, empty
He raised his right hand and prepared to cast a spell and walked toward the mine. The closer he got to the mine, the colder the atmosphere around him felt.
When he arrived at the entrance of the mine, Lawrence found a row of sleepers neatly arranged toward the darkness deep in the mine. However, the original rails above had been taken away. In addition, there were still messy dog's bones on the ground.
Footprints. After careful observation, he could confirm that there was only the undead dog that he had shot to death at the door.
The undead dog is an official monster. Although its weak point is also the brain, its skull is much harder than that of a zombie, and it is difficult for ordinary bullets to break it. However, the strength of its bones and muscles does not mean that it has no weaknesses, so it can be
Lawrence easily killed him with one enchanted bullet from his eye directly into his brain.
After cautiously following the footprints on the ground for more than thirty meters into the mine, a stench came vaguely from a branch tunnel on the side. However, the stench was very slight, at most it was the same as
It’s similar to the smell you smell when standing near a sewer manhole cover in the summer.
"What's over there?" Because he just discovered that the place where the magic aura was showing was divided into two places, and one of them happened to be in the tunnel that gave off the smell, so Lawrence chose to go there first to take a look. Based on what he just encountered,
He had already vaguely guessed what was inside this small tunnel.
Entering the small tunnel, Lawrence found that the narrow tunnel gave people an extremely depressing feeling, like walking in a tomb passage. He even felt that the sound of his clothes rubbing and footsteps became much louder in such an environment.
As he walked forward cautiously, he suddenly felt something padding under his feet, and then there was a snapping sound.
Lifting his feet gently, Lawrence saw that what he had crushed under his feet was the mummy of a rat. Judging from the fact that the mummy was broken into fragments no larger than the size of the knuckle of his little finger, it seemed that what he had done was really excessive. It was simply too much.
It doesn't look like it formed naturally in this humid environment.
This discovery made Lawrence even more vigilant, but when he came to the end of the tunnel, he found that the situation here was a little different from what he imagined: there was no monster waiting for him at the end of the tunnel, but a living room-sized
The space was filled with various mummies piled on and around the ground. There was an obvious groove in the middle of the pile of mummies. Based on its size, it was easy to tell that the undead dog should have been lying here to rest.
Fortunately, this pile of mummies were mainly small animals similar to mice, with a dozen wild boars and deer scattered here and there. Lawrence did not find any traces of humans in it, but of course this could also be the case.
The dead humans turned into zombies. Because one of the eight zombies Lawrence had just killed was not wearing the same miner uniform as the others.
Among the pile of animal mummies that exuded a faint odor, Lawrence took out a small shovel from the space bag and dug up at the place where the magic light had just been released. After a while, a golden light was emitted by Lawrence from the layers.
The dead rat was dug out from under it.
After a brief cleaning, Lawrence discovered that this thing was a simple bracelet made of gold wire. It was inlaid with a piece of fine yellow agate carved into the shape of a fat pig. If Lawrence saw it correctly, this piece of yellow agate was carved into the shape of a fat pig.
The style is very close to the Eastern Sinian style.
"It looks like a good thing." Lawrence wiped the dirt on the bracelet on his trouser legs, took out a lead box, put it in, and then put it into the space bag. Because he knew that in such a dangerous place
It is correct to reserve magic power to prepare for casting spells, and not to waste magic power in places where it is not urgently needed.
After searching the zombie dog's lair, Lawrence returned to the main road and walked forward. When he came to the first place on the main road where the magic light flashed, he was shocked to find that it was a magic trap that had been destroyed.
.
"Has anyone been here?" Lawrence felt that his worries just now had become a reality, because the locations of the next few magical auras were either traps that had also been destroyed or some magical consumables such as broken enchanted arrows.
.After walking down for three to four hundred meters along the winding mine tunnels and naturally formed underground cracks, a stone wall appeared in front of him.
"How could it be a dead end?" Lawrence thought and released [Detection Magic] to look for nearby magical auras. He was surprised to find that there were many magical auras hidden behind the stone wall.
"Huh?" Lawrence became wary, because this magic could not penetrate too thick stone walls. After careful inspection, he found that there was a magic hiding something here.
Soon, Lawrence discovered a magic circle for manipulation on the stone wall. After a simple crack, a large hole appeared in the stone wall, and Lawrence immediately drilled into the large hole. Traces of extraordinary power became denser on both sides of the tunnel here.
He got up. He found many traces of flame burning, acid corrosion and ax chop marks on the cave wall.
This also made Lawrence's expectations continue to drop, because these traces showed that someone had been to this place before his arrival. Obviously, the people who entered here could not leave anything good to those who came after.
Sure enough, when he walked to the exit of this small tunnel, a huge space appeared in front of Lawrence. In this space, which was like a stadium with 100,000 people, there was a five-story building that connected the top and bottom of the cave.
The building stands in the middle of this empty space.
However, judging from the large number of large and small holes that have been blasted on this building, it is obvious that a fierce battle broke out in this place.
In this battle, the building owner's side should have been defeated. Otherwise, the building would have been repaired rather than left to become as dilapidated and dead as it is now, let alone the bones scattered on the ground in pieces.
After taking out his telescope and looking around, Lawrence chose to walk towards that building. Because there was only that place in this space as the target.
