Emerald green acid mist filled the surroundings of Rhodes, and Rhodes' line of sight could only remain within a very small range.
At this time, the special reconnaissance skill that Rhodes had learned came into play, which expanded Rhodes' sight range a lot, but it was still very limited.
If it weren't for the signal from his perception that allowed Rhodes to clearly realize the location of the artifact components, Rhodes might have been lost in this unchanging environment without anything as a symbol.
Along the way, the expected creatures in the acid mist did not appear. When Rhodes used Lingbo Microstep for the third time, he finally came to a piece of land.
The surroundings were also filled with acid mist. Looking around, Rhodes couldn't see any living creatures. If he hadn't sensed that the location of the artifact components was getting closer and closer, Rhodes would even doubt the direction he was heading.
There was a solid touch under his feet, instead of the floating feeling of walking on the acid liquid while walking on the waves. Rhodes knew that this was the island in the middle of the lake that Savina mentioned.
After crossing the Plague Lake and arriving on the island, Rhodes felt a little relieved. Compared with the previous scene on the lake, in addition to no longer needing to consume mana and use Lingbo Microstep, even if he encountered an enemy, he needed to fight. , and don’t worry about other creatures hiding under the acid.
Before coming here, Rhodes had thought about what form the magician might exist in this area.
In Rhode's view, if they want to maintain the existence of the town on the island in the middle of the lake, the most likely way for these magicians is to use magic rituals to raise a special barrier to completely isolate the internal area. Come and achieve your own goals.
For creatures without legendary resistance, this area shrouded in acid mist has undoubtedly become a restricted area for their actions. No matter what the magician inside does, there is no need to worry about being disturbed by alien creatures.
Even after landing on the island in the middle of the lake, the signs of the acid mist still did not subside, and Rhodes could not see any trace of any living thing.
For this reason, Rhodes only thought that he was still on the outermost edge of this area and had not been able to touch the core area of this place. Perhaps only by going deep into it could he discover the real anomaly.
Just walking along like this, after a while, in Rhodes' sight, a shadow outline appeared behind the emerald green acid mist. Through the acid mist, Rhodes could not confirm what it was.
Due to the obstruction of his line of sight, Rhodes could only confirm the scene in front of him when he got close enough. For this reason, Rhodes moved much faster and still remained vigilant.
As the distance shortened, the entire thing that was originally obscured by the acid mist was revealed in front of Rhodes.
It was a wall that had mostly collapsed. It had existed for an unknown period of time in an environment full of acid mist, and it stretched into the distance. The wall in front of Rhodes was full of traces of corrosion. The remaining clods of soil were of varying heights. Not far away was an opening large enough for a carriage to pass through.
Relying on his own knowledge, Rhodes could tell that the wall in front of him should be a structure similar to a city wall, but it has long been abandoned. Under the shroud of acid mist, there is no need for a city wall here.
Perhaps due to being in the acid mist for a long time, the land under Rhodes' feet, including the remaining part of the city wall in front of him, is full of traces of corrosion, but it has not completely melted away, and part of the shape is still left.
I heard from Savina that when the lizard people living near the Plague Lake collect the acid in the pool as a weapon, most of the utensils they contain are also made of the soil around the lake. If utensils of other materials are used, I'm afraid that before the acid is put to use, the utensils containing it will be corroded first.
Along the opening on the city wall, Rhodes entered the area without any hesitation.
The existence of legendary resistance allows Rhodes to move freely in this area. Rhodes has a lot of doubts about this special area in front of him.
After entering it, more and more abandoned buildings appeared around. Unlike the city wall, many buildings could not withstand the corrosion of acid mist due to their materials. At this time, they had completely collapsed, leaving only the foundations. Debris all over the ground.
Only a few buildings, after most of them collapsed, can still retain part of their former structure, revealing strange-shaped shadows under the shroud of acid mist.
After realizing this, even if he noticed a shadow appearing in the acid mist, Rhodes no longer went over to check.
Perhaps because it was too old, there should have been some things left on the streets Rhodes walked on, but when Rhodes looked around, all he saw were corroded and shapeless blocks. Even though Rhodes It may be difficult to get any clues from it.
Rhodes still cannot sense the existence of death energy. In this acid mist, death energy seems to have disappeared. Everything in it will lose its original form under complete corrosion. Compared with other things, corpses Nature is the first to be destroyed by corrosion.
The signal from his perception was still as strong as ever. Although Rhodes was very concerned about his surroundings, he still did not forget the true purpose of his trip.
What makes Rhodes extremely concerned is that the end point of his trip, which is the source of the signal he perceives, is not far from him, and it seems that it should be somewhere in the city.
According to the information he had learned from the Thieves Guild and Savina, Rhodes believed that the abandoned town he was currently in was a town once established by a magician.
Although the buildings in the city have been corroded for a long time, and judging from the architectural style alone, Rhodes can't tell what kind of creature built the town in front of him. However, Rhodes has such a hunch in his heart that the town in front of him is similar to the monster. Magicians are closely related.
After walking through the city for a while and passing over countless collapsed buildings, Rhodes finally arrived at his destination.
Rhodes stopped in front of a ruins formed by a collapsed building.
The signal from his perception made Rhodes realize that the artifact parts he wanted to obtain on this trip were buried deep in the ruins and had been there for an unknown period of time.
Rhodes looked around, and there was still a green scene. There were no enemies as expected, no possible battles, and not even a living creature. The last artifact part he wanted to get was lying at his feet, waiting. With his acquisition.
