The Realic ruins are a small ruins that stand between the mountain tops and the plains. They are located around the foothills near the western edge of the Santorius province. The sparse trees and rocks also make this ruins inferior to other worlds. The well-known ruins are so hidden, often showing their ruins to the eyes of passing players. Perhaps it is for this reason that this area has been thoroughly explored by novice players and forces from surrounding areas early on. This has also made this area that has experienced some storms different from the Kemparo Canyon. There is a slight difference in the spectacle of people coming and going.
To sum it up in one word, it is deserted.
"Although there are still wild monsters, but...it seems like almost no one visits."
Duan Qing, who slowly approached the northeastern side of the area from the foothills and looked into the depths of the ruins, commented in a low voice: "I thought it was the kind of ruins that are still in the development stage."
"You are looking down on the power of other players." Asahi Dongsheng on the side responded with a sneer: "It has been almost two years since the free world opened the server. If the ruins so exposed have not been fully explored, they might as well commit suicide and apologize. "
"Even so, there will always be some unsolved mysteries in this kind of ruins of unknown origin, right?" Pointing to the lines of the broken walls that clearly outline the shape of a dome building, Xue Ling Huan Bing said with a slight doubt. Said: "If there is really nothing valuable to dig out, killing the ruin monsters inside is also a good choice, isn't it?"
"The magical artifacts that are the specialty of the ruins have been killed by nearby players a long time ago. Even the valuable parts and ancient relics were taken away by the people of the Violet Tower." Asahi Dongsheng explained nonchalantly: "As for the unsolved mysteries and background...I heard that this place was once an astronomical observatory from the ancient magic period. I don't know anything else."
"Astronomical observatory?"
He found a medium-sized rock, and Duan Qing, who hid half of his body behind the stone, stretched his neck and looked at the white broken walls bathed in the sunlight below: "Not considering the entire collapsed dome, it is indeed the same as the previous one." Our real-world concept of an observatory is somewhat similar."
"There are still some magic images and magic records left in it, most of them are just things on the records... Oh, I remembered." Asahi Dongsheng, who was also sitting behind the stone, suddenly clapped his hands: "If it is the result , those records did mention that they had observed observations similar to the fall of an asteroid, and later they seemed to have found some of the debris. Unfortunately, the wooden boxes containing the debris have never been found by people here. "
"Wooden box?" After looking at each other with Duan Qing, Xue Ling Huanbing lowered her body with a strange expression on her face: "Is it a magic wooden box engraved with a special mark?"
"It should be so, I don't know." Asahi Dongsheng waved his hand uselessly: "In short, several teams searched this place for a long time, and in the end they seemed to have carried out a large-scale operation of digging three feet into the ground, but in the end they still failed. When I returned, I gave up the idea of looking for those 'unfounded' clues."
"When I wanted to leave Tanzania City, I went to Black Corn to inquire about some information about this ruins." Duan Qing gradually hid his strange expression, coughing and muttering to himself: "But he never mentioned what the wooden box task they were doing was."
"Didn't they find that thing somewhere else and finally come here based on the clues above?" Xue Ling Huan Bing also whispered: "If they had inquired about these contents in advance, they should have known it long ago. What’s right…”
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Asahi Dongsheng on the side threw his big ax aside: "Do you know the whereabouts of that wooden box?"
"Although it's not what you imagined, we do know the whereabouts of that wooden box." Looking at each other again with Xueling Huanbing, Duan Qing replied helplessly: "That wooden box was later used by Black Corn. It was used for other purposes - probably because I wanted to use its confidentiality to escort another thing out. As a result, during the final battle in Tanzania City, I tossed and turned for a long time and accidentally fell into the hands of a certain BOSS. .”
"What, what do you mean after tossing and turning for a long time? If you just say it's the thing they are constantly fighting for, won't it be over?" Asahi Dongsheng raised his eyebrows disdainfully: "The details about that battle have long been exposed on the Internet. It’s almost over, a group of people ran to the central square to grab things back and forth for some reason, but in the end they were snatched away by the Lord of Violet... Huh?"
As if realizing something, he turned his head suddenly, and then cast his surprised and hesitant gaze on Wei, who had been following them in a gray cloak and was standing quietly like a virgin. On Erlit: "Speaking of which - isn't the BOSS her?"
"Theoretically, yes, if that thing was not confiscated by His Highness the Prince." Duan Qing, who also realized this, imitated the second half of Chao Ri Dongsheng's words and covered his mouth: "If you hadn't talked about it today I almost forgot about this topic.”
"Then, then..."
"Don't ask. If you ask, you don't know."
Interrupting the other party's hesitant words, Duan Qing scratched his head: "After all, as you can see, she has become like this now, so even if we...well."
"Forget it, it's always good to give it a try."
Like a customer who was hesitating in front of the counter, he put away his hesitant eyes and winked at Xue Ling Huan Bing, who then nodded and stood up, turning the man who had always been like a puppet The ordinary purple-haired woman pulled over: "Violet, you...do you know the whereabouts of that wooden box?"
"..."
"Just, it's just an exquisite little magic wooden box, which may have various strange patterns engraved on it." Looking at the other party's unresponsive appearance, Asahi Dongsheng hurriedly added: "Although I don't know the last details, But that thing should have been confiscated by you during the previous battle in Tanzania..."
"..."
"It seems that communication is impossible."
Blocking the line of sight between them and the purple-haired woman, Duan Qing waved his hand at the other two people who were still waiting to speak: "Well, after all, we are not here to explore the ruins. The Black Corn group should have been holding the wood before. He has been here before, so even if we get the wooden box, we will probably just follow in his footsteps."
"Although coming here was part of the plan, bringing so many people was unexpected." He turned around and returned his gaze to Violet: "Don't say it was you who rose to the east of the sun. , even if we follow this former great magician, we have never thought about it - eh."
His words suddenly stopped, and accompanied by a white hand stretched out in front of them, a delicate small wooden box followed Violet's stretched out palm, and her hands were as clear as water. They put their eyes in front of Duan Qing: "This, this is..."
"Wow! This is all right!" Asahi Dongsheng on the side then burst out shouting in disbelief: "How did you do it? Did you put a spell on her?"
"How could I have such ability?" Duan Qing turned around and glared at the other person's face, and then hesitantly stretched out his hand to take the wooden box back from the purple-haired woman's hand: "There is still residual warmth. What did you hide before? Where have you been…ouch.”
"What are you thinking about?" He reached out and gave the opponent a hard blow on the head. Xue Ling Huan Bing then slowly opened the wooden box he snatched angrily: "You have all the time, you might as well open it quickly and confirm... Well. "
"It is indeed it."
Her eyes and movements hesitated for a long time, and then she took out the familiar ancient disc in the eyes of the other two people: "It was robbed by so many people for so long, and in the end it was almost stolen by His Royal Highness the Prince and the mastermind behind the scenes. They all framed and died... If there was no corresponding value, they probably wouldn't go to such a point of killing them all."
"This, what is this?"
"Something ominous."
Duan Qing, who pushed back the head of Chao Ri Dongsheng who stretched out his head, took the disc in his hand and looked at it expressionlessly for a while: "It's really a trick of fate. So many people fought back and forth for a long time, and finally ended up with It fell back into our hands in this way... By the way, doesn’t Christine know its whereabouts?”
"..."
"Okay, another hot potato."
Duan Qing stuffed Yuanpan into his gray magic robe. Duan Qing, who didn't get an answer from Violet, sighed: "Don't blame me for not warning you. Don't tell others about Yuanpan for now, otherwise If so, the level of pursuit we are receiving now will not be the level of the Ax Gang."
"Okay, okay." Knowing who the warning was, Asahi Dongsheng on the side pushed his hands with an innocent look: "What about this wooden box? Should we take it down and give it a try?"
"...Forget it, we have enough troubles." Following the other person's fingers, he glanced at the ruins at the foot of the mountain behind the stone. Duan Qing, whose eyes became indifferent, finally shook his head. Head: "Anyway, we came to this place to hide from the eyes and ears, but we didn't expect to encounter such a coincidence. I don't want to bury all the existing advantages just for the sake of temporary curiosity."
"Since few people come to explore here, let it continue to be silent." He gestured towards Violet, who was facing him, and then hid back to the stone with everyone around him. Rear: "Let's continue the previous topic - where did you tell your story just now?"
"The Red Lotus Gang?" He raised his eyebrows, and Asahi Dongsheng, who was sitting on the side of the stone, put his ax behind his back again: "Let me think about it... I seem to have mentioned their formation before. A team of more than a dozen people, right? The development time and scale are much lower than those of the surrounding gangs. In the past, they acted very low-key and rarely had any conflicts with the surrounding gangs..."
"As for the gang leader, I heard he is an experienced semi-professional player." His eyes roamed up and down the foothills for a while, seeming to be searching for the memory he had just picked up: "The strength is pretty good, and the command ability is also good. Yes, but the key is leadership, and the players on that team are said to obey that person.”
"Obey?" Yu Xue Ling Huan Bing received the same weird expression on her face. Duan Qing touched his nose and asked casually: "That person... is he a boy or a girl?"
"Man, what's wrong?"
"No, just asking casually, go ahead."
"...In short, they can be considered a good group of guys, and they have not been involved in this industry for a long time." So Asahi Dongsheng withdrew his strange gaze and continued: "But when they officially entered our sight, there were still two The conflict a month ago.”
"Their territory was invaded by people from the White Lotus Sect."
Basking in the sunlight that had just risen directly above, he spread his arms: "It was a day as good as today, with bright sunshine and fresh air. The leader of the White Lotus Sect rushed up with their team of twenty people. The battle lasted for nearly two hours and ended with a huge explosion."
"The people of the White Lotus Sect evaporated like fireworks." He made a flowering gesture, and then twitched the corner of his mouth: "Just because he couldn't understand the other party's name, he was backhanded by a group of new gang members. They were completely wiped out... This kind of pretense and being counterattacked will never happen once in a hundred years, hahahahaha!"
"How do you know so clearly?" Duan Qing looked at the wooden box in his hand and asked his question casually: "Do you even remember the weather that day?"
"Uh... I happened to be there at the time, hehehe." He smiled perfunctorily at the topic, and Asahi Dongsheng coughed his own throat: "Anyway, after that time, all the surrounding mountains knew about the Red Lotus Gang. In the subsequent plundering operations, they also began to avoid each other's territory intentionally or unintentionally."
"The territory of the Red Lotus Gang? Are they also coming out to burn, kill and loot?"
"I have encountered it a few times. The main targets are also NPCs. After all, Cowberry Mountain is far away from the railway line, and the oil and water are much worse than other sites..."
"Railway lines... The railway lines in the Free Continent have been around for so long. Don't there any ways that countries can maintain security along the lines?"
"You ask me? This kind of question is already beyond the scope, but with the current level of players, it is not easy to grab a train... huh?"
As if he heard something, Asahi Dongsheng, who had his hands spread on the rocks, suddenly opened his comfortable eyes, and then under the equally alert gaze of Xue Ling Huan Bing next to him, he suddenly turned his body towards the place where the ruins were. direction.
"somebody is coming."
