"Miss Delise, Miss Delise?"
Ai Xiaoxiao called in a low voice as she walked into the kitchen, but there was no cat lady in the familiar position near the stove. She looked around, with a puzzled look on her face. Usually at this time every day, Miss Delis would come out for a walk.
Tianlan passed by the patio outside and saw her, so she couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing, Xiaoxiao?"
Ai Xiaoxiao turned back: "Have you seen Miss Delise?"
"Miss Delise?" Tian Lan thought for a moment and shook her head: "I really haven't seen her yet. But don't worry, she is elusive and she might appear soon."
Ai Xiaoxiao looked at the small jar filled with dried fish in her arms and was a little disappointed: "Oh."
The sky-blue eyes rolled, and suddenly he said mysteriously: "Don't worry about Miss Delise, let's go, I will take you to see something."
"Eh?"
Ai Xiaoxiao was a little caught off guard and looked at the hand grabbed by Tianlan.
"Remember the cabin that the captain built before? Aren't you curious about the identity of the 'guest'?"
"But, Miss Attila asked us not to disturb it."
"Yes, but they are not here now."
Ai Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and was a little moved: "Then should we tell Tangtang?"
"I don't want it. Brother Ed's cousin is not fun at all. She is very strict."
"Tangtang must be so angry to hear you say that——"
Tianlan lowered her voice: "So you must never tell her."
Ai Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly after hearing this. So the two little girls sneaked towards the stern of the boat.
…
After the dust settled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the dragon's minions fell.
Red placed the big shield heavily on the ground with a 'dong' sound, and looked back at the disgraced Papalar, with a trace of amusement in his silver eyes: "Parker, your ability to cause trouble has really not changed at all. . I remember the last time I was in the Forsaken Temple in Traveler Swamp, yes, and the last time, are they all like this?"
Parker patted the dust on his body, causing a cloud of dust to fly, which made him cough uncontrollably: "Ahem, cough, cough, it wasn't me last time, it was Sky Blue!"
"That cursed mark I was talking about."
"Ha...ahem, what's wrong with a qualified Papalar being curious?"
"But you are not from Papalar."
"Ahem, hey, let me tell you, big cat people, you may not know yet - this is the talent of the Papalal people, yes, what I want to say is that the chosen one is no different. You know, it is Something like this——"
"What does it look like?"
"It's... like this."
Alyssa couldn't help laughing.
Etila sighed and stopped the bickering between the two: "So what exactly did you encounter just now, Parker?"
"A skeleton, how do I know that its head is not properly placed on its neck?" Parker turned around, pointed in one direction and said: "It is--"
His eyes suddenly widened and his mouth opened wide. He looked at that place and raised his hands: "Wait a minute, I swear, it was here just now!"
Attila looked at the empty place and sighed again: "There is nothing there, Parker."
"No, it really should be in this place...a skeleton wearing a robe. I can even describe what it looks like to you. The robe is almost like new - except it's a little dirty."
Parker ran over in surprise and lay on the ground, as if trying to find something under the dust, but there was nothing under the dust. He raised his head and looked around again - the light of the torch in Alyssa's hand was swaying in the darkness - but the underground passage was empty.
He clearly remembered where the skeleton should be. He reached out to grab the robe and accidentally kicked the skull. By the way, where's the skull?
Even the skull is missing.
Parker almost jumped three feet high, so what exactly did he kick just now? This is really a ghost. He looked at Atila confused and stammered: "What you all saw just now, that skull..."
And then Alyssa said: "I did see a skeleton before."
She pointed in that direction and said: "It was lying there, wearing a robe. Although the robe was covered with a layer of dust, the background color could still be seen to be red. The robe was intact and not damaged, at least from what I saw. That’s how it looks from the direction.”
"Yes, yes," Parker nodded. "That's definitely the case."
"So where does it go now?"
"I guess it might be an undead creature, you know that kind of thing. It must have escaped while we were fighting-"
Etila sighed: "Undead creatures will not escape, especially low-level undead creatures, Parker."
"What if it's a high-level undead creature?"
"Then why did it run away?"
"Uh, okay, big cat man, you asked a good question..." Parker patted his head: "For example, I mean - maybe it is a pacifist."
Red rolled his eyes.
Alyssa also laughed and replied: "If it escapes, someone among us should see it."
"I didn't see it." The big cat man put away his shield and replied.
"Actually, neither do I." Alyssa replied with a smile.
"Then where did it go?" Aitila asked, but no one answered her question. The elf girl turned around, looked at Fang Plover who was still distracted, and said softly: "Ed?"
"ah?"
Fang Yu was startled and came back to his senses. He looked at the others a little blankly and asked curiously: "What's wrong? What are you discussing?"
"Compared to this," Rhett scratched the mane on his chin with his paw: "What were you thinking about just now?"
Fang Plover couldn't help but look at the place where the dragon's claws fell.
Just now, he clearly saw a black light rising from there and hitting his chest. This shocked him a lot, but when he checked afterwards, nothing seemed to have happened.
However, when I subconsciously looked through the character list, I unexpectedly found an extra row of attributes under the magic value of the magic furnace. What it says is:
Unknown element - 1.
There's nothing surprising about this attribute in itself - most Chosen Ones have such a list of attributes, and it's called Elemental Suitability. Because in Aitalia, magic power has elemental qualities, and in order to adapt to the elemental magic power of different qualities, people often need to have different elemental suitability.
Otherwise, (elemental) magic erosion effects will occur. It can range from injuries to death in severe cases——
The higher the elemental suitability, the greater the total amount of magic power that can be tolerated. Generally speaking, elemental suitability will increase according to the character's 'level'. This also limits the different levels of magic furnaces one can use.
Fang Plover himself has no elemental aptitude, or the elemental aptitude is magic power without attributes (ordinary people have this aptitude), but although he has no attributes, he still has an aptitude 'level', but he can't see it on ordinary days.
But based on his level, this value should be between two and three.
So, what does this unknown element level one mean? Since it is only at the first level, it is definitely not his attributeless magic suitability, and Fang Yu has never heard of the term 'unknown element'.
In Aitaria, people only recognize four color elements - red fire, blue sky, ocher earth and blue water.
Additionally, scholars believe that there is a fifth, divine element, light. The ether of light has always been the power controlled by the gods and the source of the spells performed by their followers.
It's just that whether the ether of light is an element or not has not yet been determined. However, in Aitaria, light aptitude does exist and is even common, because only people with light magic aptitude are suitable to become priests and priests.
He is also the person favored by the gods.
Apart from this, there is no sixth element.
Although there is a fact that dark power still exists in Aitaria, first of all, people have not found any instances of the existence of dark ether suitability, whether it is current or historical records.
Secondly, the power of darkness has a unique 'erosive' property, but it is not a pure existence - it is not an etheric property, but a 'power' that can assimilate the magic of any element except light ether. .
Since it is not ether, it is not an element.
This is the consensus of people.
And this is exactly why he is in a trance.
He looked at his character list again, and then asked with some surprise: "Didn't you see it?"
"what did you see?"
"A black light——"
"Black light?"
"Yes, just now, on the corpse of the dragon's minions..." Fang Plover then explained in detail what happened before, including the current situation in his character list.
Red and Adela didn't understand the Chosen One system. After hearing this, the elf girl frowned and asked, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong, Ed? You said that the black light hit your chest, what happened after that?" "
"Nothing happened after that. Miss Tata and I checked it out," Fang Yu shook his head and replied, "Miss Aitila, I'm fine."
"You'll know whether it's good or not - stretch out your hand, little one." The big cat man said at this time.
Fang Plover knew that Red, as a paladin, was quite good at dealing with dark forces, so he did as he was told. The big cat man's big furry paws pressed on his hands, and a shallow light spread from his palms.
The light swept past Fang Plover.
Fang Yu took a step back slightly, then looked at the big cat man.
Rhett had a look of surprise on his face, narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It seems there is nothing wrong, there is no feedback from the dark power -"
But a smile appeared on the big cat man's face again: "It's the cute little guy inside you who is protesting to me with a grin on his face."
Fang Yu took a look and saw that Nini was waving her little fists angrily, as if she had just been woken up.
He quickly comforted the latter and let her fall back to sleep - the newborn dragon soul always needs more time to rest.
"So what exactly is going on?" Aitila asked.
Alyssa was more familiar with the Chosen One system. After thinking about it, she guessed: "...Maybe Mr. Ed absorbed the power of Nicol Bolas. Don't forget where Nini came from. .”
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at his chest, where the ring of golden flames was located. He stretched out his hand to hold the pendant, and seemed to feel its warmth.
"So this element is suitable?"
"It's the dark element, isn't it? Nicol Bolas has this kind of power. Doesn't it make sense that you absorbed her power, so you have the adaptability to the dark element?" Alisa replied.
"But is the dark element really an element?" Fang Plover asked: "And why does it appear as an unknown element, and I must not be able to feel the existence of dark ether. This seems a bit strange from the general suitability of elements. "
"That's strange," Elisa replied, "but that's not the only strange thing right now."
Fang Yu was startled: "What?"
Alyssa then recounted what happened before.
Fang Yu couldn't help but look in the direction of the Papalar people and frowned. He also remembered that he had seen the skeleton before - he also saw Parker reaching out to pull the robe on the skeleton, and then what happened A series of things.
Could it be that they got it wrong?
But how could he, Alyssa and Parker get it wrong at the same time? He vaguely felt that something was not right underground, but after looking around, he couldn't find any clue.
He thought for a moment and said: "In short, if you can't guess that it is useless to stay here, let's leave this place first."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
After passing through the dark and deep underground world, the group finally found the first exit after a long time.
It was a secret door, tightly embedded in a stone wall. The only thing that could be identified was a distinctive torch latch. If it hadn't been for the clue given by Bu Nigu, even Miss Nightingale, who had the sharpest eyes among the group, would have missed it.
And regarding this bolt, it is said that the original design did not have this difference, but the smugglers were afraid of missing the secret door, so they deliberately added it.
The lion man stepped forward, held down the latch with his hand and turned it. Although it had been a hundred years, the mechanism behind the secret door was still functioning. The door made a heart-wrenching sound as it slowly opened back. .
A smell of dust filled the air.
Fang Yu immediately took out the clockwork fairy, but Aitila held his hand down and threw a plant out first. Fang Plover saw the plant with red stems floating lightly on the ground and withered immediately.
Attila then said to him: "This is the magic-eating vine. If there is a spell, it will absorb the magic power and survive. Some fallen wizards and necromancers often break into the forest. We use this detection Their magic.”
"But there's more than just one," the big cat man seemed to be deeply troubled, and added: "The druids there planted these thorns in patches. When you go there, you will know how spectacular it is. "
Fang Yu thought that if he had the chance to go there, he would definitely go and see it. He had also longed for the Hill of Giant Trees for a long time - it was not only the hometown of the forest elves, but also the kingdom of Sangshak and the Papalar people. .
The magic-eating vine withered away, proving that there was no detection magic in this direction, and no magician was paying attention to this direction, so Fang Plover felt free to release his clockwork goblin. In about a few minutes, he had a clear picture of the situation ahead.
No danger was found behind, and the Blood Shark Pirates didn't seem to notice the existence of such a secret passage - at least in this direction.
After the group passed through the secret door, the first thing running across the floor was a large group of chirping rats. It can only be said that it is lucky that Tianlan and Jita are not here, otherwise the two little girls would have screamed in fright.
And continuing up the stairs at the back, there is another secret door. The lion man used a lot of strength to push it open, and the secret door led to the surface. Looking in from outside the door, the design of this secret passage is very clever. If you don't know in advance that this is the entrance, it is impossible for ordinary people to guess that there is another mystery below.
Fang Plover walked out of the secret passage, looked around, and quickly recognized this place.
"I've been here before during my investigation," he was a little surprised: "I still remember the nearby terrain. Not far ahead is the first excavation point of the Blood Shark Air Pirates. It seems we are lucky."
"A good beginning," the big cat man said, wiping his hair, "usually indicates a good sign."
"But we have to leave one person to guard the door, and we will have to come back later." Fang Plover said again.
"Let me do it," Red volunteered: "Wearing such a suit of armor is not suitable for sneaking in."
Fang Yu nodded.
The group left the secret passage and headed north along a path in the ruins. Not long after, they saw fire coming from ahead. Fang Plover looked up in that direction and recognized that it was the excavation site he had seen before.
He turned back and whispered: "Miss Etila, do you still have the magic-eating vine?"
Miss Elf nodded and threw one forward without saying much. The magic-devouring vine fell to the ground and quickly came to life. It seemed to grow in the wind, and rustled in one direction.
Seeing this scene, without Atila's need to say anything, Fang Plover also understood that there was a spell effect in that direction.
But he was not in a hurry, and instead took out a construct that looked a bit like the Lurker Ts-1 and threw it forward. The construct fell to the ground like a dead leaf and opened automatically. There seemed to be some faint spots of light in the air that flickered.
It was a disruptor, a variant of the lurker equipped with an interference module. However, it could not interfere with the spells of most elementalists and magicians. However, it was often very effective against such stationary barrier detection spells.
Once fully charged, the Disruptor can be used three times, each lasting approximately five minutes. And it's made of a special material, so it won't be detected by most spells.
When Fang Yu saw those flashing spots, he understood that the disruptor had taken effect, and immediately made a gesture to the others, instructing them to follow him and pass through the passage created by the disruptor.
However, when he passed by the interferer, he did not put it away, but planned to return from here later.
